Daniel Zhang explained: "My sister-in-law didn't lie to you, I found her a job in the county. The boss is my neighbor, he is very talkative, and he has more money than others. She can take time out of the county to come back to take care of her family and earn money. If Brother Xuewen is free, he can also go to the county to see him and live in my house. ”

Second Aunt Zhang said suspiciously: "What you said is true? How much money can I earn in a month? ”

Wu Qiuyue said proudly: "Sister Liang is generous, give me a guarantee of 800 yuan every month, and there is a commission for selling clothes." I can't get such a high salary in Jiangyuan, it's a rare opportunity. ”

"Eight hundred!" Aunt Zhang's heart was suddenly moved, this is twice Zhang Xuewen's salary. Zhang Xuewen is an excellent teacher, with various subsidies, he barely has 400 a month, which is considered to be the top in their school. Doing odd jobs in the town is only about 100 yuan a month, which is too little.

Daniel Zhang observed his words and added another fire: "Second aunt, this is a great thing, it is not easy to find such a job in the county." It just so happened that my parents were not at home, and my sister-in-law even saved the rent. If you don't agree, I'll let people hire people again, but I can't delay the business. ”

Aunt Zhang thought for a while, gritted her teeth and said, "If it's just in the county, it's not far away, I agreed." But you have to take good care of your sister-in-law, and you can't let her suffer. She has a good temper and is easy to be taken advantage of. ”

Daniel Zhang smiled and said, "Don't worry, I am too familiar with their boss, everything is easy to talk to." And I can send you money at any time in the county, and if you want anything, let my sister-in-law bring it back for you. ”

Second Aunt Zhang said with a smile: "For Qiuyue's work, you are still worrying, which makes me embarrassed." ”

"Second aunt, you are too polite, our ancestors are all a family, and we haven't even come out in five suits, shouldn't we help each other?" Daniel Zhang waved his hand and said, "By the way, this is some things for you, I bought them in Jiangyuan." It's all kitchen gadgets, it's worthless, and you don't think it's going to work. ”

Daniel Zhang handed over the box he had brought over, and inside was a set of high-end ceramic tableware. These tableware are very beautiful, with brightly colored patterns painted on them, and they are also worth a lot of money at first glance. It is too face-saving to use such tableware for a treat during the New Year.

Second Aunt Zhang's eyes lit up when she saw it, and her face bloomed with joy: "Oh, such a good thing, you are too expensive, you have to spend a lot of money, right?" How embarrassed am I? ”

Daniel Zhang smiled and said, "I bought it for you specifically, what are you embarrassed about." You can't usually save too much, you still have to use the money you need. Both of them can earn money, and you can eat, dress, and use it decently, which is also to give them a long face. ”

Aunt Zhang smiled: "I'm an old woman, what do you want to be so decent?" I don't ask for anything else now, as long as they can hold my grandson as a young couple, I'll be satisfied. ”

Then Daniel Zhang told Zeng Guoquan's judgment of Zhang Xuewen's body, and advised Second Aunt Zhang to be patient, and there will always be results in a few days. Only then did Aunt Zhang put her mind at ease and no longer pestered Wu Qiuyue about giving birth. After chatting a few words, Daniel Zhang left his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to continue their work, and went to the study to find Zhang Xuewen by himself.

As Wu Qiuyue believes, Zhang Xuewen is a nerd. During the summer vacation, he soaked in the study all day long, except for eating and having business, he basically did not go out of the house. He loves literature, wants to be a famous artist, and has also written some works to submit, but has not achieved much.

He is a Chinese teacher at Zizhu Town Primary School, and he reads books in addition to classes on weekdays, and is in a state of ignoring things outside the window, and his life is very monotonous. Only when talking to him about literature, he will talk at length and gain the admiration of local literature lovers.

Daniel Zhang walked outside Zhang Xuewen's study and shouted, "Brother, are you busy?" Can I come in? ”

The door was pushed open, and a young man in a white shirt with a pair of black-rimmed glasses stuck his head out. He looked at Daniel Zhang and said with a smile: "Why did you just come over, I have been waiting for you for a while." Take a look, this is my new work, give some advice. ”

Zhang Xuewen looks thin and thin, not tall, and his head is a little too big and looks unnatural. As a result of his perennial addiction to books, he wears highly myopic glasses on his face. He still values Daniel Zhang very much, because Daniel Zhang is a high school student and can talk to him.

followed Zhang Xuewen into the house, and there was no place to put his feet in the study. The room is not big, and the four walls are bookshelves, on which are all kinds of books that Zhang Xuewen bought. The writing desk is also full of books, either teaching materials or various classics.

Zhang Xuewen loves literature, and half of his salary is used to buy books. If it weren't for Aunt Zhang's ability to run a family, I'm afraid it would be very difficult for this family to live. When Wu Qiuyue was working outside, she also sent some money home every month, which allowed the family to maintain a living standard of food and clothing.

Daniel Zhang moved a stool and sat on the writing desk, took Zhang Xuewen's textbook and flipped through it: "Are you still preparing exercises?" Isn't this a holiday? For whom? ”

Zhang Xuewen said with a smile: "It is prepared for the sixth grade, and it will be used at the beginning of the school year." Now the primary schools in the village and the village are being dismantled, and many students are going to join our school. The level of the students is uneven, so let's get to the bottom first, so as not to have no direction when teaching. ”

Daniel Zhang nodded and said, "I heard that you have become the head of the Chinese teaching and research group, and you have a bright future in the future." ”

"What is promising? A township primary school only. Zhang Xuewen shook his head and said: "The old director has retired, so I will take over for a few days." In the future, teachers from other schools will merge and the school will be rearranged. ”

Daniel Zhang persuaded him: "Don't be presumptuous, you have to be famous in the town for your literary level." Although the head of the teaching and research department is not a big official, he can improve his life with some allowances. ”

Zhang Xuewen smiled disdainfully: "How much money can there be?" If I have this thought, I might as well write more tofu blocks, no more, no less, and a little manuscript fee every month, isn't it more free than being a broken team leader? ”

Daniel Zhang said curiously: "You have been writing for so many years, have you ever thought of publishing a book?" ”

Zhang Xuewen shook his head and sighed: "I also want to publish a book, but the level is not enough." I'm satisfied to have a tofu block, and publishing a book is a luxury. This is not only something that people can see, but also money, which is not so easy. I've been learning to write some long stories lately, how about you help me see it? ”

Saying that, Zhang Xuewen took out a manuscript from the drawer and handed it to Daniel Zhang. Zhang Xuewen used to submit articles in magazines, all of which were short and medium-length novels. Writing a long story takes too much energy and takes a long time, so I never had the opportunity to try it.

Recently, he has been much better, and on a whim, he has tried to write some long novels. He mainly writes literary novels, all kinds of men and women fall in love or something, Daniel Zhang doesn't like it very much. But Daniel Zhang would not refute his face, opened the manuscript and began to read.
