Volume 2 Summer Chapter 23 Margaret
Back in the store, Feng Chunxi saw Lemon catching butterflies at the door of the store, and the cat food in the bowl had been eaten. Now that the gardening store is on the right track and the income is stable, it is really time to consider hiring another clerk, otherwise the store will have to be temporarily closed due to something going out. Thinking of this, Feng Chunxi wrote a recruitment advertisement by himself, with only the word "recruitment" on it.
Qin Yao quipped: "How much can you pay, or you hire me, anyway, I mostly paint at night." ”
"I can't afford to hire a great painter, and the work in the gardening shop is dirty and tiring."
"Are you going to hire a rough old man like you?"
"No, no, I can just help look after the store, and I can do the physical work myself."
"Seriously, I can come to you to help in the future, be quiet, and find inspiration."
"That's good, you can come and play anytime you have nothing to do, you are here, you can attract a lot of customers."
The day after the job advertisement was posted, the applicants came. Moreover, it can be regarded as an acquaintance, it is the high school girl who told Feng Chunxi that the white hyacinth represents a love that she dare not show. Today she did not wear a school uniform, but a pink half-sleeve and black sports shorts, showing the youthfulness and vitality of the girl.
Hearing this girl say that she wanted to apply for a clerkship, Feng Chunxi was a little surprised: "Little friend, don't you go to school?" ”
"Don't call me a child, I'm already twenty, what school will I go to after the college entrance examination is over?" The girl flicked her ponytail, stubbornness written all over her face.
"Of course it's going to college, do you want to use this summer work-study program?"
"I didn't get in, I won't go."
"If you didn't pass the test, then you should review it and take the test again next year." Although Feng Chunxi did not go to college, he took the college entrance examination and still knows a lot about this aspect.
"No, I didn't study well, and my revision was in vain. And now that I go to college, I come out to work, so why waste four years and waste my family's money, it's better to work directly. "The girl looks like a teenager and an old man, as if she has seen the reality of this society clearly.
Feng Chunxi shook his head, he really couldn't imagine that he had been in it for more than ten years, and the outside world was still prevalent in the uselessness of reading. After thinking about it, he said to the girl: "Children, after graduating from college, you still need to work part-time, but the content and nature of the work, including the future development space, are different." And reading is not just to earn money for work, reading can help us increase our knowledge, understand the world better, and understand ourselves better. ”
"I said I'm not a child, I'm twenty years old. I don't want to gain any knowledge, I want to learn how to grow flowers from you, and I want to open a gardening shop in the future, or if you want, I will be your partner. ”
"You don't think you need to read to open a gardening shop?" With that, Feng Chunxi walked back to the store, rummaged through the cabinets, and finally found his correspondence undergraduate certificate and gardener's certificate, and showed them all to the girl.
The girl was a little surprised to see Feng Chunxi's certificate, she thought that it would be good for the owner of this kind of gardening shop to graduate from junior high school, but she didn't expect to have a bachelor's degree.
Feng Chunxi continued: "I'm more than ten years older than you, we stubble, we can still deal with it with this education, but your generation, I'm afraid it won't work." Also, don't look at my academic qualifications are correspondence, in order to grow good flowers, I have read more horticultural books, maybe more than a master's degree in horticulture, if you don't believe it, you can go to read inside, Chinese foreign, dozens of books. ”
"Foreign? Do you know a foreign language? The girl looked at Feng Chunxi in disbelief, at this moment he was already a little impressed by the gardening shopkeeper playing with mud in front of him.
"Will you see the store across the street? The word "flower" on the plaque means flower. ”
"Damn, I know that." The girl gave a blank look.
"If you read a foreign book, you must know a foreign language, and there are many translated versions."
Feng Chunxi said this panic, there are many gardening books without Chinese translation, Feng Chunxi's English was not bad in high school, plus now there is a very convenient translation software on his mobile phone, he can still barely read the English version of gardening books. At the moment, he didn't want to show off too much in front of him, just tell her that reading was useful.
"Maybe you're right, but I still don't want to repeat my studies, and my family agrees that I should work early. Anyway, my younger brother studies well, and it will be enough for him to get ahead in the future. Will you hire me? I don't want to look elsewhere. ”
"If you really want to do it, try it first, and when you want to go back to school, go to school at any time."
"Okay, I'll be able to go to work now, tell me how much you can pay me?"
"I'm a small shop, and I don't have a lot of customers. Two thousand a month, what do you think? "For a scale like Chunxi Gardening Store, the price of hiring a clerk is about 2,000, and Feng Chunxi did not lower the price because the other party was a student.
"Deal, boss!" The girl looked happy.
"You haven't told me your name yet?"
"Nonsense."
"Nonsense?"
"Yes, nonsense!"
To be able to give a child such a name, parents who are messing around are really messing around, Feng Chunxi thought. On her first day at work, he doesn't plan to teach Fool about taking care of flowers and plants, as long as she can remember the names and prices of the main plants on sale in the store, so that she can receive customers alone when she goes out.
At about four o'clock in the afternoon, the tractor master in Xijiao Village called over and said that the land of the brick factory had been turned over and Feng Chunxi needed to inspect the work. After all, it was the first day of work and she was clearly still a child, so it was a little uneasy to leave her alone to watch the store, Feng Chunxi wanted to simply close the store early, anyway, there were fewer people who came to buy green plants at night.
Messing around but insisting on refusing, saying that she would share her worries for the boss when she got paid, and if there was something she couldn't do, she would call the boss or send a video. Feng Chunxi thought about it, Xijiao Village is not far away, and it shouldn't take more than an hour for the electric three wheels to get up quickly, so he agreed to mess around and stay alone to watch the store, and after a few words of explanation, he drove towards the brick factory.
There is a lot of bulldozer business, and he left first after finishing the work of the brick factory in the morning, and at this time, only the tractor master Lao Xu was waiting for Feng Chunxi's arrival.
If it weren't for those two old factories, Feng Chunxi couldn't believe that the land in front of him was the old site of the brick factory he saw yesterday. What used to be overgrown with artemisia grass and rubble has now turned into a large yellowish-gray earth, which is not only flat on the surface, but also soft in the soil. Feng Chunxi was overjoyed in his heart, took out 3,000 yuan from his pocket and handed it to Master Xu, which was the salary of him and the bulldozer.
When I went home yesterday, Feng Chunxi had already placed an order for sunflower seeds online, which could be delivered in three or four days at most, and then I could realize my wish to plant a sea of sunflowers. Thinking of this, Feng Chunxi was a little excited, on the way back, the electric tricycle drove very fast, and the wind in the countryside blew his hair flying.
"Boss, your hair?" Seeing Feng Chunxi's hair puffed up by the wind, it felt a little funny to mess around.
Feng Chunxi looked in the mirror, only to realize how funny his hair was, and hurriedly reached out to press it, but it was useless. When I put down the mirror, I noticed a small white flower pinned to my hair, and asked, "On your head?" ”
Hu Hao stretched out his hand to help the little flower on his head and replied, "Is it good-looking?" ”
"Beautiful!" Feng Chunxi said this, but he sweated in his heart, fortunately, this guy picked Margaret, if it was other precious flowers, the loss might be great.
Margareta has been cultivated for hundreds of years, and this chrysanthemum chrysanthemum is a typical flowering artifact that can fill an entire pot. Legend has it that there was a princess named Margaret who was particularly fond of this flower, so she named it after her. In the West, Margaret also has the nickname of "Girly Flower", which is inserted on her head by nonsense, but it is also more girly.
