Chapter 21

"What kind of design factory? People abroad call them architects. Do you have any education?"

Huang Longyi drank too much, and when he looked at people, he saw double images in front of his eyes.

He stood up and walked over unsteadily, sat down next to the young man, held the young man's hand, and said very sincerely: "Brother, let me tell you, my brother is not good at anything else, he is engaged in architectural design. Definitely this!"

He gave a thumbs up and waved it in front of the young man.

"No one is more powerful than my brother! Of course, this is not absolute. But! People who are more powerful than my brother are not as young as my brother. People who are as young as my brother are definitely not as powerful as my brother! Do you recognize this sentence? Do you admit it?"

The young man was not impatient and nodded in agreement.

Huang Longyi slammed the table, picked up the wine and poured a glass for the young man: "Brother, I know you want my brother to design a factory for you. I can only tell you this, you will never suffer a loss if you ask my brother! My brother Not only is he talented, he is really talented. In the past, he would have been the number one pick. Okay, I won't say more, it's all in the wine. This glass of wine is for you. I did it, you random."

The young man held the wine glass and watched Huang Longyi down a glass of white wine in one gulp. He was not interested in it, so he only took one sip and drank half the glass.

"Okay! You are an interesting brother! You have a good vision!"

After saying that, the man fell on the table with a clang, completely unconscious.

Zhao Jiandong was dumbfounded.

He had known for a long time that this guy was not an ordinary person, but he didn't expect that after drinking, he became even more unusual.

Even more generous than a Fengtian man like him.

When it comes to drinking, it's really fierce!

Wen Du was expressionless throughout the whole process, and even wanted to cover his face.

How is it that it's a little embarrassing and a little touching?

The young man turned around, took out a business card, and handed it to Wen Du: "My surname is Jing, and I am a native of Dongfan. This is my first time coming to Chucheng, and I plan to invest and set up a factory here. I just heard that Xiao My brother is an architectural designer, so I plan to ask my younger brother to help."

Wen Du took the man's business card, which had a name written on it, Jing Weizhou.

This name has basically no impression on later generations.

However, this person was from Dongfan, so Wen Du had to be more vigilant.

After he started his business, he once heard someone say that many Dongfan people were not as rich as they imagined. Some Dongfan people look down on them, but they still want to make money from them. They are all doing one thing on the surface and another behind the scenes.

And many Dongfan people who don't have much money just rely on being Dongfan people to deceive the kind-hearted locals. Those people scammed money and ran away.

The character is also special.

I like to have sex with local girls. I have a home here and a home in Dongpan.

In the end, he patted his butt and left, not caring about the local woman who had been with him for more than ten years.

"How did Boss Jing think of coming here to invest and set up a factory?" Wen Du did not answer, but asked casually.

Jing Weizhou smiled and said, "This is a long story. I am an orphan and was adopted by my godfather. He named me so that I could study. Later I learned that he was coming back to find his daughter. I followed him back without hesitation. This is his hometown, and he wants to contribute to the construction of his hometown."

Wen Du looked calm: "My design fee is very expensive."

"Money is not an issue." Jing Weizhou said richly.

"It's just a factory. Are you sure you want me to design it?" Wen Du frowned slightly, looking a little unhappy.

Jing Weizhou was originally doubtful about Wen Du's ability, but now he understood that this child might be a little arrogant. But even though he is arrogant, he can lower his stature.

"My factory is different from other people's factories. My requirements are higher. If you can design a work that satisfies me, then money is not an issue."

"fifty thousand."

As soon as Wen Du opened his mouth, Zhao Jiandong almost choked to death.

He was worried about damaging Wen Du, so he covered his mouth and coughed violently, his eyes wandering back and forth between Wen Du and Jing Weizhou.

That's fifty thousand yuan!

Now the richest person in Huaguo doesn't have 50,000 yuan.

How dare Wen Du say this?

Jing Weizhou was slightly shocked, but he nodded in agreement.

"Can."

Hearing this, Wen Du calmly cleared the things on the table into a clean area. Then he took out a notebook and pen from his bag, put them on the table, and then asked Jing Weizhou.

"Tell me your requirements and your thoughts."

Jing Weizhou thought of their factory over there and immediately informed Wen Du of his request.

That's more than half an hour.

Zhao Jiandong felt that this boy was deliberately trying to trick Wen Du. With so many demands, wasn't he deliberately trying to make things difficult? If you don't want to spend so much money to let Wendu design it, then don't let Wendu design it?

Who are you trying to deal with in this whole incident?

After Jing Weizhou finished speaking, he asked Wen Du, "Are my demands too much?"

"It's okay, but some parts are not very reasonable." Wen Du said rudely, "However, making all your requests reasonable is what I, a designer, should do."

This domineering tone is really amazing!

Zhao Jiandong wanted to give Wen Du a slap in the face.

Jing Weizhou smiled and said, "In that case, I'll trouble you."

"I just use money to do things."

Wen Du was very indifferent.

He wrote and drew in his notebook, and finally said directly to Jing Weizhou: "Based on the various requirements you mentioned and the data you provided me, it will take about a month to come up with the design drawings."

"A month?"

Jing Weizhou frowned.

Wen Du said calmly: "If you want to produce the picture in three days, I can't do it. But the price will not change."

Jing Weizhou: "..."

Zhao Jiandong: "..."

Hold the grass!

What's going on? Why did Xiaodu suddenly become fierce?

"Just one month."

Jing Weizhou left his address and phone number, got up and left with his people.

After he left, Zhao Jiandong sat over excitedly, swallowed his saliva and said, "Xiaodu, isn't it? You just asked for fifty thousand! You didn't ask Lao Huang for this money at the beginning."

Wen Du said calmly: "Lao Huang is the first business I took, and it has a different meaning."

If he talks to Huang Longyi lion, Huang Longyi will not think that he is a genius, but will treat him as a whimsical lunatic.

Without the first pot of gold, how can he start a business in the future?

Although fifty thousand yuan is a lot of money now, next year someone will buy a piece of land for more than five million yuan. The money he earned from Jingweizhou was only a fraction of what others paid for the land.

Without enough capital, it is simply impossible to establish a foothold here.

If Wen Du wants to return to his sister's side to accompany her as soon as possible, he must seize every opportunity.

He put the notebook away and got up to pay the bill.

When Zhao Jiandong saw Wen Du coming back, he sighed and said, "I wish I had known that it was us paying for this meal, so I wouldn't have needed such an expensive thing."

"It's okay, just eat. You have worked hard for so long, just treat yourself as a reward." Wen Du didn't care about this little money.

Although they have a harder life, the hard work now is for a better life in the future.

It's all worth it.

Wen Du took out a pickled green plum from his bag and stuffed it into Zhao Jiandong's mouth. Zhao Jiandong did not dare to spit it out due to Wen Du's intimidation. Holding back the sourness, I ate the green plum.

He looked at Huang Longyi who drank too much and took the small bottle: "Give me this."

Zhao Jiandong called Huang Longyi up and stuffed a green plum into his mouth: "Brother, eat this, it's delicious!"

"ah?"

Huang Longyi's eyes were sleepy and he was a little confused.

He mechanically ate the food in his mouth, frowned and said, "This doesn't taste good."

"Eat well, you can have another one."

Of the five green plums, Zhao Jiandong ate four for Huang Longyi.

Wen Du: "..."

He knew that Zhao Jiandong didn't like eating sour food, but he didn't expect that Zhao Jiandong didn't like it so much.

"There are still a lot of green plums. I told them that I will go over and buy them in the future. They should keep all their stocks." After Wen Duyun said calmly, he picked up Huang Longyi and walked out.

When Zhao Jiandong heard the word "Qingmei", he felt that he would never want to drink again.

This stuff is really sour and deadly.

The two of them sent Huang Longyi home and locked the door for Huang Longyi from the inside. Wen Du climbed over the wall, clapped his hands, and walked home with Zhao Jiandong.

The lights in the house are still on.

Zhao Xiaofei was sewing clothes for the children with needle and thread. When he saw the two of them coming back, he put down his sewing and walked out.

"Would you two like something to eat?"

Wen Du thanked her politely: "No need, Sister Xiaofei. We'll wash up and go to bed. You should go to bed early too."

"Okay. Then go back to sleep." Zhao Xiaofei has to get up early to cook every morning, which is very hard.

Wen Du said: "Sister Xiao Fei, there will be a lot of things like this in the future. You don't have to wait for us to come back at night. Just go to bed early."

"How can I sleep well if you don't come back after midnight? Don't worry about me. I'm old and I don't sleep well." Zhao Xiaofei asked the two of them to go back to the room, closed the door and went back to sleep.

Zhao Jiandong followed Wen Du upstairs. He was worried that Wen Du would mind and said, "My sister is just like my mother, worrying all day long."

"fine."

Wen Du also missed home.

He thought about this life from his previous life.

It was only now that he had a home again.

Wen Du took a shower, lay on the bed, and looked at the calendar on the bedside.

Counting the days, the letter he wrote should be received by his family, and the reply should almost arrive.

When he gets up tomorrow morning, he is going to take a look.

Wen Ying hasn't slept yet.

She can only take a bath after her father leaves. After washing, I sat on the bed and waited for grandma to get on the kang.

"Grandma, do you think my brother will be able to come back before the end of the year?"

Old Mrs. Wen was almost bored to death by her granddaughter. She asked her questions all day long, wishing she could ask her eighty times.

"Wouldn't you like to wait until your brother writes you a reply?"

Wen Ying sighed: "But the reply is too slow. It will take a month to go back and forth."

If my brother comes back during the New Year, I'm afraid he'll be back before the letter arrives.

"If you don't go to school tomorrow, you don't want to sleep, right? Do you want me to ask your dad to go to school tomorrow and ask the teacher where you got on the exam?" This trick of the old lady worked very well.

Wen Ying immediately lay down.

Old Mrs. Wen covered her with the quilt and turned off the light.

"Yingying, you will fight like today when you fight with others in the future, do you understand?" The old lady said confidently, "Don't worry, I will punish you if you fight. If you are hit by someone and you don't know how to fight back, I will Teach you a lesson."

Wen Ying nodded vigorously and promised in a soft voice: "Grandma, I will never stand there and let others hit me."

"Well, okay, go to sleep."

Wen Ying closed her eyes, thought for a while, and then asked, "Grandma, my brother is very good at fighting, did you know?"

"sleep."

The old lady thought to herself, how could she not know about her own grandson?

Their family is like this. The old lady specially found someone to teach her grandson boxing and kung fu, because she was worried that her grandson would be bullied outside. After that heartless woman left, many people laughed at Xiaodu.

The kid Xiaodu was young, and when others bullied him, he couldn't fight back.

She spent five yuan to send him to the old Yang's house in the back, and let the old man from the Yang family teach him kung fu. Xiaodu is a hundred times stronger than his father, and has the same personality as his grandfather.

After practicing with the old man for several months, he was able to beat all the boys in the village to the ground and call them grandpa.

From then on, Xiaodu continued to learn.

Last year, Lao Yangtou couldn't survive and passed away.

Xiaodu didn't go to Yang's house. He got up every morning and exercised in the yard by himself. He learned the basic skills taught by Lao Yangtou.

The temperature dropped sharply in the second half of the night.

Chucheng also became cold.

Wen Du got up in the morning, ran around and came back, took out his thick coat and put it on.

"Brother Dong, please keep an eye on the construction site today. I won't go there every day during this period." He wanted to draw Jing Weizhou's design drawings.

When Zhao Jiandong thought that Wen Du was going to do something big, he patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry at the construction site, I'm here. Absolutely..."

"Okay, I understand, you can go."

Wen Du hurriedly interrupted Zhao Jiandong's words, worried that Zhao Jiandong's crow's mouth might be right.

Zhao Jiandong smiled dryly and scratched his head and left.

Dani and Xiaoni went to school, Zhao Xiaofei took Wang Ping to buy groceries, and Wen Du was the only one left at home.

He sat at the table and drew quickly on it with a pen.

All the lines are done in one go.

If there is a big shot in this field here, it will definitely shine.

Wen Du is a hard-working person, and he has only one standard in everything he does. Either don't do it or do your best. When doing business, you can't just spend money without having any professional knowledge.

Today, Wen Du is very happy that he has strict requirements on himself.

Otherwise, even if he wanted to make a comeback now, he wouldn't have the capital.

Zhao Xiaofei and Wang Ping didn't make any big fuss when they came back from shopping for groceries. The two of them sat in the yard and talked quietly, fearing to disturb Wen Du.

When it was time for lunch, Zhao Xiaofei went up to call for someone.

"Xiaodu, it's time to eat."

"Just come."

Wen Du responded.

He put the draft away and carefully put it in the drawer before coming downstairs.

There was only his own food on the table.

Zhao Xiaofei is taking Wang Ping to the construction site to deliver meals.

Just as Wen Du was about to finish eating, Huang Longyi came in from outside. His face was sallow and swollen, and he looked like a different person.

"Xiaodu, how did I get back last night?" Huang Longyi sat opposite Wendu with a look on his face.

"Just got up?" Wen Du asked him, and helped him get a pair of bowls and chopsticks, "Let's eat something together."

Huang Longyi shook his head: "No, I have no appetite at all now. I'll just go out and find a place to have a bowl of porridge later."

"We sent you back yesterday." Wen Du did not persuade him again.

"Thanks, brother. I'm really sorry about what happened yesterday. I didn't expect him to be so disrespectful." Huang Longyi felt that he was embarrassed.

Wen Du said, "It's okay. I got some work in that restaurant yesterday. It's all thanks to you."

Chapter 22

"Brother, are you kidding me here? I drank it straight yesterday and don't remember anything. How can I help you get a job?"

Huang Longyi didn't believe it at all.

His head was hurting so much that it was about to explode. He was sitting on a chair, rubbing his temples, his eyes dull and dull.

Wen Du asked him: "Did you forget that you also offered someone a glass of wine? Have you forgotten all this?"

"I really don't remember."

Huang Longyi couldn't remember anything. He didn't even know how he got home.

Today he came to apologize to Wen Du.

What happened yesterday was because he didn't get it right, which was why Wen Du waited so long.

The most important thing is that the meal last night was the money Wen Du spent. It would be really unkind if he didn't come over and apologize today. He would be too embarrassed to come to Wen Du in the future.

"I came here today mainly to apologize to you."

Huang Longyi mentally scolded Chen Zhuolin for not being a thing. Since he didn't want to come, he shouldn't agree. If he agreed but didn't come, he would lose face.

Wen Du didn't take this matter to heart.

"Brother Yi, yesterday you called me brother, and today I call you brother Yi. There will be no such nonsense between us brothers. You set up such a situation for my own good. It doesn't matter whether they come or not. , the important thing is that my brother sees your heart. My brother will remember this heart for the rest of his life. "

After hearing what Wen Du said, Huang Longyi was deeply moved.

He picked up the tea in front of him and said, "Brother, I would like to give you a cup of tea instead of wine!"

"Easy to say."

Wen Du picked up the cup, which contained boiled water, and drank a glass with Huang Longyi.

The big stone in Huang Longyi's heart finally fell to the ground.

"Tell me, that bastard Chen Zhuolin told me very well at the time. But in the end, not only did no one come, but no one even sent a letter. Isn't he kidding me?"

Huang Longyi was angry, quite a bit.

He slapped the table weakly: "Let me tell you, when he escaped, I was the one who sent him to the ship. Otherwise, he would have been paraded through the streets with a sign. He is now rich, look at what he did What's the matter? Is that something people do? I, Huang Longyi, don't have much ability, and I only have a small factory like this. So what? I can still make a fortune with this small factory!"

"Yes, Brother Yi, what you said is right." Wen Du nodded in agreement, picked up the bowl and drank half the bowl of rice in an instant.

"People can't have bad intentions."

"right."

"People with bad intentions can't achieve great things. Let me tell you, with his way of doing things, he won't last long. If I didn't have money, I would also run his factory. Now I will set up a small factory and make a fortune. Then I will also build an electronics factory."

Huang Longyi is not a person with narrow vision.

On the contrary, he was also very far-sighted.

Wen Du admired Huang Longyi very much. He put down his job, took a sip of water, and said, "Brother Yi, you are right to think so. You open a clothing factory and start wholesale clothing. We have good quality and good styles. Think of a better trademark. When you accumulate enough capital, we will open another factory. As the saying goes, you can't put all your eggs in one basket. If you have success on both sides in the future, don't forget about your brothers."

"That will definitely not be forgotten."

Huang Longyi was filled with hope after hearing what Wen Du said, and he felt that his head no longer hurt. He leaned forward and got closer to Wen Du, with a flattering smile on his face.

"What you just said, can you tell me more carefully?"

Wen Du felt that with Huang Longyi's keen temperament, it would be unjustifiable if he did not have a place in future generations.

"If a garment factory makes clothes, it's not impossible if you want to sell them yourself. You have to do the sales yourself. The manpower and material resources required in this process are not necessary for me to tell you in detail if you have time. I believe you have thought about this problem before."

Huang Longyi nodded: "I originally planned to let all my old cousins ​​go out for a run."

"This is a way. But it is too slow and not suitable for this market. The first thing you have to do now is to choose the style of clothing for the next season. It will definitely be too late for winter clothing, and you will not be able to catch up with spring clothing. You can make summer clothing."

"That makes sense."

Huang Longyi waited eagerly for Wen Du to continue.

"Clothes are not something you just make and people buy them. Since you plan to be in this business, you have to understand the market. I don't know if you have noticed that starting from this year, the clothes worn by people on the street are changing day by day. In the past, They are all dressed in green. In recent months, all the young people on the street are wearing very fashionable clothes. They are a bit similar to the people on the other side."

Huang Longyi had also noticed this a long time ago.

But what Wen Du said made him feel like he was enlightened.

"To be honest, my mother is an old tailor, so I plan to open a garment factory." Huang Longyi actually doesn't know how to do anything else. He still knows the business of making clothes.

Wen Du was surprised: "Then you should know how important the style of clothes is. In the past, why were the clothes made by your family popular, and why weren't the clothes made by others? This principle is the same whether it is made now or in the past. of."

"Just now I heard you say that we need to focus on style, and it made sense. Now that you say that, I know roughly what to do. When setting up a factory, preliminary preparations are very important. Can the clothes we make be sold later? ,more important."

"You'd better find someone who knows how to design the clothes." Wen Du reminded Huang Longyi.

Huang Longyi nodded gratefully: "We must find someone to handle this immediately. What about the other one? What do you think the wholesale operation model is?"

"Many people come to Chucheng to set up factories, and many people want to come to Chucheng to make a fortune. Those who can't set up factories just want to do their own small business. They will take goods from Chucheng that are not available elsewhere and send them to other places. Go sell it. These are the people you want to catch."

Huang Longyi slapped his thigh hard, with a look of ecstasy on his face: "Brother, you really helped me a lot! Without saying anything else, I just put these words here today. If I get rich in the future, I will never forget my brother. Yes! I will go find someone to study this matter first. This is the project money, and I have brought it to you."

After saying that, he stood up, said goodbye to Wen Du, and left in a hurry.

Wen Du looked at the money on the table, opened it and checked it.

It's not that he judges a gentleman's heart with a villain's heart, but he must be cautious everywhere when he goes out to do things.

After checking the money, Wen Du zipped up the bag and placed it at his feet.

After eating, he put the bowl and chopsticks in the kitchen, simply cleared the table and went upstairs to continue drawing. When he started writing, he was still thinking about the progress of Huang Longyi's clothing factory.

Years ago, the factory will be able to start construction.

The warehouse will be a little later, but not too late.

Now the workers are very skilled in the operation and the progress is gradually accelerating. He has twice as many workers as others. Because he provides food and accommodation here, the food is pretty good. Many workers want to introduce people to come over.

We can't use those people now, but we will definitely need many people after the year.

Wen Du has recently grown five centimeters taller, and his fingers have become longer than before, with more distinct joints. I have never done heavy work in my life, and my fingers are not deformed, which is a bit pleasing to the eye.

In fact, Wen Du only needed one day to draw the architectural design drawings.

These things are not difficult for him at all.

It takes a little more time to draw the construction design drawings, but it only lasts three days.

Wen Du locked himself in the house for four days. After finishing the painting, he went to work on the construction site.

Zhao Jiandong looked at him and asked in shock: "Xiaodu, why did you come to the construction site?"

"I'll come over and keep an eye on it."

This is their first pot of gold, and there can be no mistakes.

Zhao Jiandong waited for the worker next to him to walk over, then lowered his voice and asked him: "Then you don't want to draw any pictures? That's fifty thousand yuan!"

He couldn't even think about it.

Wen Duyun said calmly: "The painting is finished."

"What the hell? Have you finished painting?"

"Um."

"Then you told people that it would take a month?" Zhao Jiandong was a little confused. "Wouldn't it be better if you gave people the things earlier and got the money earlier?"

"Brother Dong, remember one thing, sometimes it's either fast or good. If you are too fast, others will question your ability. Therefore, sometimes, the longer time passes, the more others will think that you are capable and that you are a capable person. "

Wen Du taught Zhao Jiandong another truth.

"That makes sense."

Zhao Jiandong did not rush Wen Du. Even when Wen Du was about to move bricks, he stopped him and said, "What are you doing? Is this a job you can do? You are worth five people if you just draw something with your hands." Counting, do you think you are suitable for this job? You really have no idea at all. I won't stop you if you want to stare at me, but don't reach out."

Zhao Jiandong treasures Wen Du's hands.

I wish I could give these hands to you.

Wen Du wanted to say that his most valuable thing was his brain.

But he understood Zhao Jiandong's kindness.

From now on, Zhao Jiandong will be responsible for most things on the construction site. He couldn't keep an eye on the construction site all the time. And, with the money, he plans to do something else.

At this time, Red Star Farm.

It's snowing heavily again.

The school gave the children a holiday.

Wen Ying couldn't wait to go to school to see her results, but the results were not good and she felt completely wilted.

The grandmother in the next room in the front yard came over with her grandson. She sat on the kang and looked at the pears in Wen Ying's hand, her eyes rolling. Wen Hongbao took advantage of the adults not paying attention and snatched the pear away from Wen Ying.

Wen Ying frowned, pursed her lips and said nothing. She picked up the textbook and continued reading.

Wen Hongbao reached out and snatched the textbook away again.

Wen Ying was a little unhappy now. She stretched out her hand towards Wen Hongbao: "Give me back my book!"

"If you don't give me, I won't give you." Wen Hongbao also raised the book high, especially in need of a beating.

Old Mrs. Wen raised her hand and slapped him on the head: "If you miss me again, I'll chop off your hand."

Feng Yumei was unhappy when she saw her grandson being beaten.

"Xu Guiying, why did you hit my grandson? Can you afford to pay for the damage?"

Old Mrs. Wen sneered: "You should thank me. I've been so arrogant since I was a child, and I don't know what it will be like when I grow up. I'll hit him now to make him remember better, so he won't be beaten when he goes out in the future."

"Then he still has me as a grandma to take care of him. Do you need to take action?" Feng Yumei is also well-known as a tricky woman.

Mrs. Wen is not someone to be trifled with either.

"Then he robbed my granddaughter's pears and my granddaughter's books. Did you take care of it? When you were a child, you robbed other people's things. When you grow up, you will be shot!"

Feng Yumei yelled angrily: "Then you are better than your children. The old one has a short life span, and the son he raised is a loser. His wife ran away with him and he didn't dare to chase her. The younger one has the same moral character as his mother, but he is restless. Something. This is another little fool. I think you have been short of virtue for eight lifetimes and you have been punished!"

"Snapped--!"

Chapter 23

Old Mrs. Wen slapped Feng Yumei on the face, the sound was like a knife scraping, and it was as cold as a bone.

"Feng Yumei, is all the shit coming out of your mouth? Do you really think others don't know who your little son is?"

Feng Yumei's eyes widened in horror.

When the words came to my lips, I was stunned and didn't dare to say a word.

She stood up dejectedly, grabbed her grandson and pulled him to the ground: "What are you talking about? It's nothing. Little bastard, hurry up. If he doesn't get off the ground, I will throw him in the West Garden and let the big devil be stunned. You take it away."

Wen Hongbao was dragged away by his grandmother while crying.

Old Mrs. Wen sneered twice and stood still.

She stared at Feng Yumei, a crooked woman, taking her grandson out of their house, and then she turned back to see if her granddaughter had been beaten by Wen Hongbao. Who knew that as soon as he turned around, he would meet his granddaughter's shining eyes.

"Grandma, you are so powerful! I must have followed your lead to become so powerful." Wen Ying was extremely proud.

Old Mrs. Wen said with disgust: "You can pull me down! How are you like me? You are obviously like... stupid as hell. I am not as stupid as you."

She just follows grandma!

Moreover, she is very smart and not very stupid.

She knows many ways to make money.

"Grandma, let's raise more chickens at home!" Wen Ying knew that someone would start selling vegetables next year.

No, someone should be selling vegetables this year.

Old Mrs. Wen looked at the little girl: "What's going on? Are you greedy for chicken?"

Thinking of this summer, the chicken at home was scared to death. Grandma was reluctant to throw it away, so she stewed the chicken and ate it. Wen Ying still remembers the taste. She nodded hopelessly, wagging her tail secretly like a puppy.

Wen Ying shook her head with her strong self-control: "Grandma, we raise chickens to lay eggs, hatch many chicks, and then sell the eggs. I can eat less food and let the chickens be fuller."

Old Mrs. Wen thought that the little food her granddaughter ate was not enough to feed two chickens.

He also said: "How much can I get for selling eggs?"

"Grandma, can I raise my own chickens and sell eggs?" Wen Ying was worried that Mrs. Wen would reject her, so she hurriedly promised, "I won't delay my studies."

Old Mrs. Wen waved her hand: "Okay, hurry up and go read a book. If it doesn't snow tomorrow, you should go to school. Don't come back crying when the whole school counts down the exam."

"No way."

Wen Ying's speaking voice is very cute, and her voice is also sweet, soft and waxy.

Although it doesn't look smart enough, it's very cute.

Seeing that it was still early, Mrs. Wen took out the money sent by her eldest daughter. The eldest daughter called me ten yuan this month. I heard that my son-in-law has been promoted and his salary has increased a lot. Because she was physically disabled, her superiors took good care of her and arranged a job for her. It's very relaxing and basically not tiring. It just requires someone to keep an eye on it.

Now that her salary is high, she sends ten yuan home.

Old Mrs. Wen held fifteen yuan and put it in her pocket. Then she went into the house and said to Wen Ying, "Yingying, I'm going to visit your second grandma's house. Don't open the door to anyone at home."

"Know it!"

Wen Ying responded loudly.

Old Mrs. Wen went out with peace of mind.

She also got along well with people in the village. The daughter-in-law of the Yan family got along with her and they often visited each other on weekdays. If she wasn't doing farm work, she would come and sit at home.

Mrs. Wen rarely went to Lao Yan's house.

There is a lot of trouble at the widow's door.

Unless necessary, she would never interact with outsiders.

Mrs. Wen walked for five minutes to Lao Yan's house.

"Why did the wind bring you here today?" The old lady of the Yan family was shocked when she saw the old lady Wen.

Although Mrs. Wen still had a straight face, her expression softened: "I came to tell you something."

"Then come to our house quickly."

The Yan family has a large population and is not divided into families.

The three sons all live together. The eldest son of their family is a promising soldier. He is away from home all year round. He has a family there and only comes back once a year. The second child and the third child are both here.

Both families have two children, and they are all crowded together in the same yard.

Generally speaking, you don't dare to speak too loudly. Even if you say something casually, others may hear you.

"I'll pour you some water." Mrs. Yan took the teapot and made some tea.

Old Mrs. Wen didn't want to drink the water, so she said, "No, I drank it at home. I'll just tell you a few words. No need to pour water."

"Then I'll give you a glass of boiled water."

Mrs. Yan was very polite and always brought a glass of water to her whenever she said something.

After she sat down, Mrs. Wen said, "I want you to help me ask who has suitable eggs in our village. I plan to hatch some chicks next spring."

"Why do you still think about raising chickens?" Mrs. Yan was a little curious.

"The little girl in our family likes to eat chicken, and she also wants to eat eggs. I thought that it wouldn't take much effort to raise a chicken. When the weather gets warmer, I will ask Shao Yu to build a chicken coop and then raise the chickens in the yard. There. Then you won't have to buy eggs yourself."

"That's right. Things are different now. We grow the land ourselves now, and we eat more at home than in previous years. The bran left over from the flour is enough to feed the chickens."

Mrs. Yan thinks she should also raise some chickens at home.

"Yeah, it's different from the past. There is hope for the future." Just like before the old man was alive, he can open his own shop and buy and sell things.

You can also go out and find work.

Mrs. Wen misses the days when she was young.

"Then I will also hatch some chicks. Then I will ask you in the brigade to see who has eggs, and then let them save more." Old Mrs. Yan is very popular in the village.

Old Mrs. Wen said, "Please help me buy more."

It's hard to buy eggs now. You can only buy them with a ticket outside.

There are not many people raising chickens in their village, and most of them are just a few people here.

The chicks will hatch in February or March, and the chicks will be born in 21 days. Before that, if she wanted more chicks, she had to have them prepared in advance.

After finishing this matter, Mrs. Wen didn't stay long and went back directly.

When we got home, Wen Ying was still reading, and Mrs. Wen started preparing dinner.

After a while, Wen Shaoyu came back on his bicycle. As soon as he entered the door, he asked: "Mom, did you fight with my old aunt today?"

"Fight? You think too highly of her. It was me who beat her." When Mrs. Wen was chopping pickled cabbage, the knife clanged with great force, and it sounded like it was leaking.

Wen Shaoyu silently took two steps back and asked, "Then she came to look for someone to be beaten specifically in our house?"

"Why do you think she can come to our house?"

Old Mrs. Wen looked down upon Feng Yumei very much. She was not good at anything, didn't eat enough, and was not serious. That is to say, her man is a coward, and her mother-in-law is too lazy to care about her, so she just kicks her out and leaves them alone.

When her mother-in-law was alive, she did not dare to come to them.

Wen Shaoyu also knew that his old aunt was not good, she was very mean-mouthed, and she didn't have the guts to fight with others. It would be fine if she acted rudely with others, but if she acted rudely with his mother, his mother would make her old aunt regret bringing her into this world.

"Come for a fight."

Mrs. Wen put a sullen face, put a small spoonful of lard into the pot, then put three pieces of meat into the pot, stir-fried for a few times, then poured the sauerkraut in and stir-fried, then poured water into it, put the vermicelli in, and covered it. The pot is on fire.

Wen Shaoyu went directly into the house, with no intention of sitting down and lighting the fire.

This was also what his sister was used to.

Her sister has had problems with her hands since she was a child and has low self-esteem and doesn't go out often. Others always told her that if a girl gets married in the future, she will definitely need the support of her brothers.

You must have a good relationship with your natal brothers.

Just like that, his sister left him all the delicious food, treating him like a young master.

She is not indebted to her eldest daughter, who is good-looking, has a good personality, and can read and write. It is because of her physical disability that she feels inferior and cannot hold her head up.

Old Mrs. Wen thought of her eldest daughter whom she had not seen for many years, and secretly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. She didn't know if she would ever see her eldest daughter again in her lifetime.

Chucheng.

The sun has also set.

It's time for the workers to eat.

When Zhao Xiaofei saw Wen Du coming over, he hurriedly said to his eldest daughter, "Dani, please bring your Uncle Wen's letter."

When Wen Du heard this, he asked in surprise: "Has my letter arrived?"

"Isn't it? It was delivered to your home today. I thought you would be anxious to read it, so I asked Dani to bring it to you. It's a thick letter. I can see that your family misses you very much and has a lot to say. What do you say?"

With a smile on his face, Zhao Xiaofei looked exactly like the same two people as before.

Even her two daughters are different from before. The two girls before looked like the little girls from the landlord's family in the old society. They didn't dare to raise their heads, didn't dare to speak, and were cautious about everything they did.

Now the two girls have light in their eyes and they are much more generous and cheerful.

Such a girl is pleasing to the eye.

Wen Du took the letter, and it turned out to be a thick letter. He smiled and said, "My grandma doesn't talk much. She usually just tells me some things. My dad is a talkative, and he can't wait to write down all the trivial things. I My sister doesn't know how to write letters yet, so she will probably ask my father to write a lot."

Zhao Xiaofei's face was full of envy: "Your family has a really good relationship."

Although their family does not favor boys over girls, she has been married so far away that her relationship with her family has become stalemate, and she has not yet settled her life well.

"good."

Wen Du took the letter and walked back without eating.

He quickly returned home, put the letter on the table, took a shower and went directly upstairs, sat at the table, and opened the letter solemnly.

"Xiaodu, grandma doesn't ask you to make a lot of money, she just wants you to come back safely. You are still young, and you are better than everyone in the village if you see the world outside. When you are admitted to college in the future, you can go outside. Be a city dweller."

This is what his grandma said.

As for his father's letter, it was a bit beyond Wen Du's expectations: "Xiao Du, you don't have to bear any burden. I have made money now. Although I am working as a gatekeeper at the agricultural machinery station, I can earn ten yuan a month. Please come back. If you are good at studying, dad can support you."

A proud young master instantly appeared in front of his eyes, and he said with a proud face: "Son, look, daddy is very powerful! Are you particularly honorable?"

Wen Du's eyes turned red instantly.

Chapter 24

Dad talks very little.

Combined with my grandma's instructions, I could barely make up one piece of paper.

There was a thick pile of paper left, all letters written by my sister.

Wen Du thought of his sister's innocent big eyes, put down the page of paper written by his father and grandma, and picked up his sister's letter. I don't know how my father endured it and wrote so many letters to his sister.

It's a little hard to imagine that Dad can be so patient.

Wen Du opened the thick pile of letter paper and was shocked when he saw the writing on it.

This letter was actually written by my sister herself! ! !

But this letter seems very difficult.

Wen Du, who once had no problem reading English documents, now has to read a line of letters for a long time. When he saw the format of the letter, he knew that his father must be there to guide him.

In some ways, his father is a very romantic person.

I was just born in the wrong era.

"全shi jie zui 好 de ge ge:

zhan xin jia!

Did you have a good time in chu cheng? I hen xiang you ya! I also had a good time in jia! Ba ba is even banned! He is banned at nong ji zhan. mei is in the sky, next is the ban, dou will jie song, I go to and from school.

My jue's te is different. I think this is hou, I am here, if gege is next to shen, it will be fine.

ge ge, I will listen to hua in my home, but I won't go to a place with fewer people.

You should also be careful outside. If you are being attacked by others outside, you won't be able to change your hands. zuo 人yao xiong a little bit.

Nai nai said, the outsider dou is zhi lao hu. It's okay, as long as you can do it a little bit, they can't do it.

You don't yao don't xiang xin what I said is hua ya! I have jing yan.

ge ge, I mei pian you a! ai beat yao and fight against kang, ge ge is not afraid, xiomg they..."

Wen Du's eyes hurt when he read his sister's letter.

My sister is really meticulous about everything, and she has to write to him about every little thing.

Wen Du liked watching it very much, but why was his sister always worried about being bullied? If he had been able to read this letter from his sister in his previous life, he would certainly not have felt that the life he was living at that time was bitter.

You will definitely feel that there is hope for the future.

Wen Du continued to read the letter. His sister wrote to him everything that happened at home. That picture would appear subconsciously in his mind, as if he had never left home.

Grandma loves her sister more than she imagined, and dad also stood up earlier than in his previous life and had a better start.

He doesn't have to worry that his father will be washed away by the flood, and he doesn't have to worry that his grandma will die young.

They will protect their sister and wait for him to return.

Wen Du couldn't wait to go back.

Just not yet.

Wen Du was very patient. He didn't even want to go home for the New Year. Wen Du felt a little impatient, but he regained his composure in an instant. He wants to develop here and take over his grandmother, father and sister.

Thinking like this, Wen Du has hope.

After a long time, he reluctantly put down his sister's letters and put them back into the envelope.

Wen Du put down the letter and came downstairs. Zhao Xiaofei and the four of them were already back. In order to save electricity, the two children did their homework without turning on the lights. Wen Du frowned, turned on the light, and warned Zhao Xiaofei.

"Sister Xiaofei, when it gets dark, the children have to turn on the lights when they do their homework. Don't worry about the electricity bill. The children will not be able to see by then. You will regret it if you delay things."

Nothing can hurt the child.

When Zhao Xiaofei heard this, he nodded hurriedly: "I will let them do their homework in the main room from now on."

In this way, Wang Ping can go back to her room later, and she can prepare all the dishes for tomorrow morning in the main room.

Wen Du doesn't care which light they turn on, as long as they turn on the light.

"Xiaodu, I'll bring you food."

Zhao Xiaofei remembered that Wen Du hadn't eaten yet, so he immediately got up and went to cook for Wen Du. The meals are all ready-made. Add a handful of firewood to the stove and you can stir-fry the dishes.

She knew that Wen Du ate a lot and also liked steamed buns. I specially steamed a pot of steamed buns for Wen Du, heated up a dozen steamed buns, stir-fried a small pot of vegetables, mixed some cabbage hearts, and made an egg drop soup.

Wen Du was very calm when he saw so much food, sat down and started eating.

Wang Ping has seen it several times, but still doesn't get used to it.

She thinks no matter how good a person is, can he eat so much every day?

But in fact, Wen Du ate more than that, he ate even more than this. Moreover, this is the case.

Wen Du did not go upstairs after dinner, but cleared the table by himself. When he was about to wash the dishes, Zhao Xiaofei came out of the room and immediately drove Wen Du away.

"Is this what your hands are for?"

Zhao Xiaofei heard that Wen Du could sell anything for fifty thousand yuan if he drew anything with his hands. Others agreed without batting an eye. Zhao Xiaofei felt that he was capable and knew a lot. As a result, I became more determined to let my two daughters go to college. If she fails to pass the exam, she will review. As long as they are willing to study, she can spend her whole life cooking for others at the construction site.

After Wen Du was kicked out, he thought for a while and went outside for a walk.

The place they are now will be the most prosperous place in the future. It's just that now I can't even see the prototype. He walked around the village and suddenly saw a circle of people surrounding an old man.

The old man sat under the tree and sighed: "What are you talking about? You won't buy that land!"

Wen Du came over and stood beside him, listening. It took him a while to understand. It turned out that this old man wanted to sell a piece of land, but unfortunately the price was too high and no one was willing to buy it.

"Uncle, your land is so small that you can't grow anything after buying it. You still want to sell it for five hundred yuan. How is this different from robbery? In other words, you are deceiving foreigners."

The middle-aged man who spoke felt that his uncle was whimsical.

The old man said: "If outsiders are willing to buy, I will also sell! I will leave it here today. Whoever comes to buy, we will go to the village to register. As long as anyone can come up with five hundred yuan now!"

He wanted to buy the yard next door, so he had to sell the old yard he bought before.

Wen Du felt that if he could buy a piece of land here, no matter how big or small, he would definitely make a profit in the future. He thought for a moment and said, "Old man, are you sure you want to sell a piece of land?"

"Of course! All the folks around here can testify." The old man looked Wen Du up and down as he spoke.

He felt that this kid shouldn't be able to afford this money.

The middle-aged man who spoke before said to Wen Du: "Young man, listen to my advice. My uncle's piece of land can only be used to grow vegetables. You can't eat all the vegetables you grow. This land is useless." I bought it. It's five hundred yuan, what can't you do?"

"Brother, thank you for your kindness. I just want to buy a piece of land and grow some vegetables. There are many people in the family, and it costs a lot of money to buy vegetables for a meal. Buying a vegetable plot can save a lot of money. Two or three At the end of the year, I will have saved these five hundred yuan. For me, it is a good deal." Wen Du finished speaking simply and asked the old man, "Old man, if you sincerely want to buy it, just wait for me here. I will come back Get some money from me, and then we'll go look at the land together. If it works, we'll settle this matter. We can plant some vegetables tomorrow morning, and we'll be able to eat them in a while."

The old man said: "Okay, go quickly and tell you, I will wait for you for half an hour at most. If you don't come after half an hour, I will sell it to someone else."

Even though he had no one to sell to, he still had to say it to show that his land was in short supply.

The old man is a bit cute when he is bad.

Wen Du didn't think the old man was evil-minded. He probably said this deliberately because he was worried that he wouldn't come to buy it.

"It won't take that long."

Wen Du has long legs and walks fast.

After a few minutes, he returned to his yard. He went upstairs, took out a thousand yuan, put it in his trouser pocket, and went to find the old man.

They came back in less than fifteen minutes.

The old man was very happy to see Wen Du.

"You seem sincere. Okay, let's go."

The old man got up to lead the way, and the others followed suit, all following behind to see if Wendu really wanted to buy land.

Wen Du followed the old man. Seeing that the old man was in good health, he followed him leisurely.

"Old man, are you sure you really want to sell the land?" Wen Du felt that it would be better to say something in advance.

The old man asked warily: "What do you mean? You don't plan to buy it?"

"That's not true. I'm worried that if this land becomes valuable in the future, you will regret it." Wen Du said honestly.

Those people were laughing all around.

Wen Du didn't understand why they were laughing.

When they arrived at the place, Wen Du understood.

This place is quite close to the place where he rents a house. I can't say that the place is good, I can only say that it is good as a vegetable plot. This piece of land is really small compared to the land next to it.

That's the size of an acre and a half.

In fact, it's not too small.

According to Wen Du's perspective, two or three office buildings can be built. This is still a case of good planning. If you can't build a third floor, you can still build two landmark buildings.

He didn't feel that he was losing money by buying this land at all.

"Who do you think will want this land?" the middle-aged man said mockingly.

"me."

After Wen Du finished speaking, everyone around him felt that Wen Du was a big fool.

The old man was very happy: "Then let's go through the formalities now."

The procedure is very simple, just go to the village to apply.

The old man is anxious to buy the big yard next door. There is a fish pond in the old man's house, and half of the fish pond is in front of the yard of the next door house. If the fish pond continues to raise fish, that's fine. If he filled in the fish pond, half of the filled area would no longer belong to their home.

For this reason, the old man releases water into the fish pond every year.

If you buy the yard next door now, your own yard will become bigger. After the fish pond in front is filled in, it can still be your own home.

Not much better than this land?

The old man was even more eager to go through the formalities than Wen Du was.

He urged Wen Du: "Why are you, a young man, walking so slowly?"

Wen Du: "..."

This is not because he takes advantage of others, but because they insist on selling the land to him.

The author has something to say:

I didn't know that so many children didn't like to read Pinyin, so I revised it so that only some words are in Pinyin.

That's probably what it means.

Just think of Yingying's letter as the complete pinyin. Currently, she only knows a total of forty characters!

Chapter 25

The old man has great prestige in the village. The person who is now in charge of these affairs in the entire village calls the old man uncle.

Things were done faster than ever.

It was so fast that Wen Du was a little overwhelmed.

When people heard that he bought land to grow vegetables, they patted him on the shoulder and said, "Young man, your good intentions will be rewarded!"

Wen Du didn't think he had good intentions.

He just wants a piece of land, and this land will definitely make money. It's not clear exactly when the money will be made. He may have to keep it in his hands for a few years. At present, people think he is a fool.

Wen Du didn't explain. He took all the procedures and confirmed that they were correct, and planned to go back. Before he went out, he heard the old man calling his son's name.

The old man asked his son to call the neighbor next door and gave him 300 yuan on the spot to buy his house.

He also took the opportunity to pat Wen Du on the shoulder: "Young boy, hahahaha, thank you!"

Wen Du: "..."

He now finally knew why the old man was so happy to sell him that remote piece of land.

People previously said they would spend five hundred to buy the neighbor's house next door, just to let outsiders hear. In fact, the house only cost 300 yuan. The old man bought the house and the fish pond in front of him became theirs. You can fill it in later and kill whatever you want.

He also kept two hundred dollars in cash for himself.

No matter what, the old man's business was doing well and he didn't lose any money.

The person who came with me to watch the fun said: "Young boy, I have told you a long time ago that my uncle is a very cunning person and he likes to deceive young people and foreigners like you who don't know anything."

Wen Du: "..."

He really wanted to say, I have money now, if he cheats me a few more times, I will be happy.

Unfortunately, there is only one type of people selling houses and land, and there is no other.

Wen Du went back slowly. Zhao Jiandong had already returned and was walking around the yard worried that something might happen to him. Seeing him appear at the entrance of the alley, he immediately rushed up and asked, "Xiaodu, where have you been? It's so late at night and you went out without leaving a word. You didn't come back until now. I thought something had happened to you." "

"Sorry, something happened at the last minute and I didn't have time to tell you. I won't do it next time."

When Wen Du came back to withdraw the money, he didn't meet Zhao Xiaofei, and it was hard for him to go to Dani and Erni's room to find someone.

Zhao Xiaofei didn't know where he went with Wang Ping.

He thought he would be back soon, but he didn't know that he would be a little far away. The old man couldn't walk as fast as the young man, so it took a lot of time to go back and forth.

"So that's it."

Zhao Jiandong breathed a sigh of relief.

They are all outsiders, and they inevitably have to be cautious when they arrive in a strange place.

It's not peaceful outside right now.

"You better not go out alone at night. If anything happens, just wait for me. I'll ask two workers to go with you. Now these workers are eager to follow us. Even though they are so honest, they are actually here. There are more fellow villagers than us." Zhao Jiandong felt that he was a big fool. Nowadays, there are really not many Fengtian people who come to the south.

While they were talking, the two of them returned home. Zhao Jiandong closed the door and then lowered his voice and continued to talk to Wen Du: "Those people at the construction site also often contact other fellow villagers. Those people said that whether they go to the factory or at the construction site, many bosses No money was given. After working for three months, they didn't get a penny. Moreover, the bosses made them get up at six in the morning to work, and didn't let them go back to bed until twelve at night. The food was not good, one We don't see a single piece of meat every month. Compared with them, we are the real conscience. No wonder they make more money."

Wen Du has also heard of these things.

He has been bullied like this before.

After working for several months, I didn't get a dime, and I was bullied and kicked out.

"Brother Dong, doing business is about integrity, and being a human being is about conscience. People with such a heart won't be able to do things for a long time." He didn't want Zhao Jiandong to go astray.

Some people become addicted once they get a taste of it.

And I still can't quit.

When the time comes, the heart will only become dirtier and darker, and later on, it will be inferior to the good and make others look like fools. How many people can he cheat and how much money can he make?

This reputation spreads and everyone knows it.

It will be difficult to do business in the future.

That's what Zhao Jiandong thought, but he really didn't want to do that.

"I just said it, but I wouldn't actually do it."

Wen Du glanced at him and said nothing else. He walked the road by himself. People's hearts can also change. Different road non-phase plan. He would keep an eye on Zhao Jiandong, and if he found a problem, he would kick him out directly.

After they all entered the house, Zhao Jiandong still felt a little chilly.

He shuddered and turned around to look outside. It wasn't windy outside, let alone raining. Why was it so cold just now?

Wen Du returned upstairs and looked at the land certificate in his hand put together with the letter from his family. He looked at the iron box in his hand, thought for a moment, stood up and put the box on the roof.

He frowned, always feeling that this place was not safe enough.

But I couldn't find a more suitable place.

Wen Du put down the box and clapped his hands, then took a change of clothes and went to take a shower.

The next day, I went to work on the construction site early again.

Red Star Farm.

Wen Ying also got up very early and had to go to school today.

She has so much hair that her little hands can't hold it, so she doesn't even know how to comb her hair now. After getting up in the morning, I washed my face and sat on the kang with disheveled hair, looking like a little lunatic.

Wen Shaoyu braved the cold wind and came in from outside. He took a breath and rubbed his hands vigorously before saying, "Yingying, if you go out like this now, you are just like the mentally ill guy from Lao Bai's family in the next village."

Ouch!

Before he finished speaking, Wen Shaoyu held his head and let out an ouch.

He turned back and stared at Mrs. Wen and asked, "Mom, why did you hit me?"

"The one I'm beating is you, a talkative guy. Look what you said. Compare your own daughter to a fool. If I don't beat you, who will I beat? Your daughter is already stupider than normal children. If you keep doing this, Say it a few times, what if you are really like that fool?"

Mrs. Wen is so angry.

Wen Ying: "..."

Wen Shaoyu hid aside and said, "Then what you said yourself doesn't sound good! Is it, Yingying?"

Wen Ying: "..."

All she wants now is to shave her head.

"Grandma, can I shave my head? It's as short as the boys in our class."

Wen Ying's idea is very simple. Boys can cut their hair short, girls can also cut their hair short, and she can also get a haircut.

She had seen many beautiful girls cut their hair short in her dream before, and they looked better.

Wen Ying stared with her big beautiful eyes and found that both her grandma and dad were silent.

"It's over, it's over, you're so stupid! Who can cut her hair so short!" Wen Shaoyu covered her face, feeling that her daughter looked even more stupid now.

Mrs. Wen angrily slapped her son again: "Stop talking nonsense all day long, hurry up and eat. After eating, you two will get out of here. It makes you upset just looking at him."

"Why!"

Wen Shaoyu went to get the table and serve the food.

Old Mrs. Wen sat on the edge of the Kang with a comb and called Wen Ying over: "Grandma, comb your hair."

"good!"

Wen Ying ran over happily, sat in front of the old lady, and asked the old lady to comb her hair.

Her hair is thick, thick and of good quality.

It was rare for Mrs. Wen to put more thought into it and comb her into two braids, from the top of her head to both sides, and finally tied them with a red hair rope. There is also a bow tied underneath.

Wen Shaoyu came in with steamed buns. When he saw his daughter combing her hair, he deliberately teased her: "Oh, whose daughter is this?"

Wen Ying smiled sheepishly.

She ran down to the cabinet, stood on tiptoes, and looked in the small mirror for a long time. She didn't even suppress the smile on her lips while eating.

When we arrived at the school gate, Wen Ying behaved well.

She didn't wait for Wen Shaoyu to speak and said, "Goodbye, dad, I'm entering school."

After saying that, Xiao Zaibu moved very fast, and in the blink of an eye, he blended in with his classmates, leaving only his little head.

Wen Shaoyu looked at his daughter's lively appearance and rode his bicycle to go to work at the agricultural machinery station.

The first class in the morning is the class teacher's class.

The head teacher walked into the classroom, and the whole class suddenly fell silent.

Wen Ying looked at the teacher longingly, wanting to ask about the midterm exam results but not daring to ask. Song Liying stopped eating cake secretly and wanted to talk to Wen Ying. She looked at Wen Ying several times but Wen Ying didn't notice. She looked at the teacher intently, waiting for the teacher to announce the midterm exam results early.

"In this exam, there are three students in our class who got perfect scores in mathematics and Chinese. Wang Shuang, Zhang Lingqiu, and Wen Ying. Everyone applauded and congratulated the three students. I hope these three students can..."

Wen Ying was so happy when she heard that she had scored double hundred in the exam that she couldn't listen to anything else. She opened the pencil case, took out the pencil, and wrote seriously in her notebook: "Brother, I got two hundred points in the exam. We are the only three in our class who got 100 points in the exam. I will do it every time in the future." Get 100% on the test..."

Wen Ying finished writing the letter to her brother enthusiastically, put down her pen and continued to listen carefully to the teacher reading the grades of her classmates.

"The last one is Song Liying. Song Liying scored 59 in the math test and 61 in the Chinese test. She is the last in the school. Song Liying, you must learn from your classmates. Don't be half-hearted in class and not listen carefully."

Song Liying didn't blush, she still looked at the teacher with those innocent eyes. When the teacher stopped looking at her, she put the paper she handed out in her schoolbag and whispered to Wen Ying: "My mother doesn't care whether I do well or not. If not all the children in our village go to school, she doesn't want to let her go." Here I come! Anyway, she only cares about whether I can cook for her every day."

Wen Ying frowned, and while the teacher was writing on the blackboard, she whispered to Song Liying: "Studying can change your destiny. You can go to a better place, make a lot of money, buy a lot of delicious food, and don't have to cook every day."

Song Liying could not imagine that kind of life, nor had she seen it.

She now feels that her father secretly gives her a penny every day, and her mother buys her some cakes to put at home, and asks her to take two pieces to school every day. This life is very good.

She doesn't like studying anyway, and she is willing to live like this for the rest of her life.

Wen Ying's little bun face was very tangled: "But studying is very important!"

"Well, then you study hard."

Song Liying put her hands on the desk, but looked at the teacher. When the teacher's back was turned, she pinched a small piece of cake and put it in her mouth.

The cake was so sweet that she couldn't bear to share it with Wen Ying.

But Wen Ying kept looking at her like this, and she felt embarrassed.

So Song Liying lowered her head silently and did not look at Wen Ying.

Wen Ying is not greedy for cake, she just thinks Song Liying is not good like this. She didn't know how to reason with Song Liying. When get out of class was over, she wrote down her troubles in a letter and told her brother.

Chucheng.

When Wen Du was sleeping in the middle of the night, he was woken up by pain in his legs. It's not that the pain is unbearable, it's just that it hurts so much that I can't sleep. Fortunately, it was almost dawn, so Wen Du got up and went downstairs.

Zhao Xiaofei got up at four o'clock in the morning to prepare breakfast for the workers. When he saw Wen Du coming down, he was full of surprise: "Why did you get up so early today?"

She noticed that Wen Du's face looked wrong, so she immediately wiped her hands and came over and asked, "Xiao Du, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? Your face doesn't look right."

"My legs hurt and I woke up when I couldn't sleep."

Wen Du had leg pain in his last life, and the pain was as severe as now.

He planned to go out for a run and be fine when he came back.

Zhao Xiaofei hurriedly stopped him: "Xiaodu, did you catch a cold yesterday? Or were you tired?"

"I didn't catch a cold, and I wasn't tired either. I didn't walk much yesterday," Wen Du explained.

Zhao Xiaofei tilted his head and thought seriously: "It's strange, it's not a cold, it's not tired, it can't be growing pains. You are already twenty, not twelve."

Chapter 26

Wen Du, whose real age is only twelve years old: "..."

Growing pains?

So he is having growing pains?

Wen Du had never paid attention to this kind of thing. He had only heard of such words, but he had never realized that he had experienced this kind of pain.

"What to do about growing pains?"

There is no Internet now, and related books are not available. If you want to find them, you have to go to the city library. At present, the only person who could ask was Zhao Xiaofei, so he asked her directly.

Zhao Xiaofei thought he had just heard of this term, and enthusiastically told Wen Du what growing pains were.

"When you grew so tall, did your legs often hurt when you were a teenager? Around the age of eleven or twelve, sometimes you grew too fast and your legs hurt at night, which was very uncomfortable. This is typical Their nutrition couldn't keep up. In the past, many children suffered from pain because their body couldn't keep up with their nutrition. They just got over the pain."

Zhao Xiaofei said while cooking, not noticing Wen Du's unpredictable expression.

"Don't talk about other people, let's talk about my brother. When Dongzi was a child, he looked like a skinny monkey. Suddenly, one year, he suddenly grew taller. He was originally a head shorter than me, but after a month, he felt taller than me. He is still taller and his voice has changed. He is as skinny as a monkey, but he is so ugly. At that time, I even said to my mother in disgust, why is Dongzi still so ugly?"

"My mother said, it's like cats and dogs. When they are strangled, they become ugly."

...

After Wen Du listened, he turned around and left silently.

He didn't go anywhere else, he went directly to the canteen and ordered a hundred eggs from the boss. I remembered that there was a pregnant woman and two children at home. Counting him and Zhao Jiandong, there were six people in total.

One egg per person per day, that's two hundred eggs.

"Boss, buy two hundred eggs. You weigh them first, and I'll come and get them later!" After saying that, Wen Du left.

He remembered seeing an old man leading a cow into the city these days, and asked the old man if he could deliver some milk to his family every day.

The old man was sitting under a big tree. There were a lot of people coming and going, but no one bought his milk.

Wen Du walked over and asked the old man directly: "Old man, how do you sell milk?"

The old man glanced at Wen Du, looked at the jar in his hand, and then said slowly: "A jar as big as yours costs thirty cents a jar."

That's quite expensive.

But from this tank, their whole family can have a drink, and it's not expensive.

Wen Du said directly: "Then you bring me a jar first. From tomorrow on, can you bring this much every day? I live in the alley in front. You walk over and see a canteen. Go forward. Fifty meters away, the house with a papaya tree at the door is our home. My surname is Wen. This is one month's money. I'll give it to you first."

Wen Du took out nine dollars and handed it to the old man.

The old man has been hanging around here for many days without selling a single drop of milk, but today he placed a big order.

Although I have to deliver milk every day from now on, it only costs nine yuan a month.

The old man was very excited, and the hands he stretched out were trembling, "Give me the tank, and I will milk you now."

"good."

Ten minutes later, Wen Du arrived in front of the canteen carrying a jar of milk. The people in the canteen weighed the eggs and put them in the big basket next to them.

Wen Du walked in and paid the bill: "Boss, I will ask the children at home to deliver the basket to you later."

"There's no rush, there's no rush, and we're not in a hurry."

The boss is very enthusiastic.

Wen Du came home with milk in one hand and a basket of eggs in the other, but Zhao Xiaofei was frightened.

"What are you buying? Why did you buy so many eggs? It's luxurious enough for the workers to eat meat every day, so why are you giving them eggs?" Zhao Xiaofei was heartbroken. Just thinking about these things turning into money, I feel so distressed.

Wen Du put the eggs on the table in the outer room: "This is not for the workers, this is for us to eat. Miss Fei, from now on, you will give out six eggs every morning. One for each of us. Also, this is milk , boiling milk requires some effort. Boil it over high heat, then turn off the heat. Wait until it stops boiling, continue to heat it, and repeat it four or five times before you can drink it. From now on, someone will come to deliver milk every morning, and I have already paid for it. Then I'll trouble Miss Xiao Fei."

Zhao Xiaofei heard that there were so many details about boiling milk, and immediately wrote it down seriously.

"No trouble, what's the trouble?"

There is a pot of soup simmering on the stove, almost ready now.

Zhao Xiaofei took off the soup and poured the milk into another small pot and tried to cook it. According to Wen Du's instructions, he boiled it five times before bringing the milk into the house.

Wang Ping also gets up very early in the morning, and Zhao Xiaofei usually doesn't let her in when cooking. It's not that she should avoid it, but she can't smell the fumes now, so she washes and chops vegetables outside.

"time to eat."

Zhao Xiaofei boiled six eggs but didn't eat them himself.

Wen Du didn't say anything and poured a bowl of milk for each of them. He drank the most. He took an egg for himself and divided the others among them.

"It will be like this every morning from now on. These are things to supplement the nutrients needed by the body. Dani and Xiaoni eat some of this to have a good brain and body. It supplements calcium and will not delay growth. Sister Wang eats eggs every day. Milk, the child in the belly will develop well. As for Brother Dong and Sister Xiaofei, you two are just like me. You were at a loss before, so now you need to eat more supplements to prevent the bones from being too brittle and breaking if touched. "

When Wen Du said this, everyone else felt extremely grateful.

Keep this kindness in mind silently.

Wen Du had already written a reply and mailed it, and also sent a few hundred dollars to his family. He knew that grandma was a very particular old lady. When grandpa left, she was able to raise her daughter well-educated and sensible by relying on her family's financial resources. Her son...

He was raised healthy and he was a wise old man.

The family fortune left behind by grandpa has been almost used up.

From now on, he will never let grandma worry about the family's livelihood. She will definitely enjoy her old age and become the best old lady in the village.

Red Star Farm.

Wen Yingmei sat cross-legged on the kang, looking at her grandma and dad with a little pride.

The old lady read the paper twice and then looked at each other. The mother and son had a tacit understanding and looked at Wen Ying with the same surprised eyes.

They never expected that Wen Ying, who looked a little stupid, a little dull, and not very smart, could actually get 100 points in studies.

Is this just like someone who can't work and doesn't have the energy to eat, but he wants to learn to sing? Oh my, his voice is very good and his voice is smooth, just like the ancestor who gave him a meal.

Are all the advantages of their family Yingying focused on learning?

Old Mrs. Wen decided to steam and boil an egg for the girl tomorrow morning. Knowing that she likes tofu and meat, then buy some more meat.

Anyway, my son can now get ten yuan from home every month.

She gave her son only fifty cents as pocket money every month.

Old Mrs. Wen made up her mind and counted the days. Tomorrow, the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, would be the perfect time to go to the market. Going to the market has resumed this year, and every household can go to the market to buy things.

Old Mrs. Wen put down the paper and tried to look more cheerful: "It's good, keep it up."

The old lady took the paper and left.

Wen Shaoyu waited for his mother to leave, and immediately reached out to pick up her daughter, intending to lift her up high, but after exerting force, she found that he didn't seem to have this ability. Wen Shaoyu smiled dryly and hugged his daughter, pretending that nothing happened.

"Yingying is so awesome, she actually got first place in the exam. The donkeys in the front yard all say they are smart, but they are not as smart as you in the exam. And Xiaobao is the same, but they are not as good as you. You are the smartest smart guy!"

Wen Ying was a little embarrassed to be praised.

She stretched out her hand with a smile, gestured with her fingertips and said, "Dad, I'm only a little bit better, my brother is the best!"

"Yes, your brother is the most powerful in our family!"

Wen Shaoyu admired his son.

His son is just as cruel as the father he has never met.

He was ashamed of himself.

Wen Shaoyu went to the outhouse to help, singing: "What kind of evil spirit does Diao Deyi have?"

After he finished singing in a good tune, Mrs. Wen slapped him in the face, "I think you are so evil-minded. Hurry up and light the fire. Are you going to stop eating?"

Wen Ying listened to her father's begging words, opened the textbook with a smile and continued reading.

She wants to become more literate so that when she writes a letter to her brother next time, she won't need pinyin.

There is also a well-preserved dictionary at home, but it is very old.

Wen Ying has now learned Pinyin. As long as she studies for a while, she can look up words in a dictionary. My brother will be shocked by then.

But now she hasn't even finished learning Chinese Pinyin, and her father taught her a lot of Pinyin.

Wen Ying sighed.

If you feel that your learning progress is too slow, you should speed up your progress.

While Mrs. Wen was cooking, she took the time to lift the door curtain and look inside. When she saw her granddaughter studying, she whispered to her son: "Your girls and boys are all more promising than you. My son went out to work in prostitution when he was twelve years old. The girl It looks silly, but there is something in my mind. I got first place in the first exam. In our village, there are more than 80 children in the same grade. Just three children all scored 100 points. Take another look. You, with no money or energy, took a wife and let her run away."

Speaking of his wife, the flattering expression on Wen Shaoyu's face disappeared.

He whispered: "Mom, Ran Ruizhen wants to go back to the city, but we don't have the ability. If she wants to leave, let's let her go. Besides, she can't do any work at home. Don't you still despise her as a young lady and a maid?" Really? Now that we're gone, no one will be an eyesore."

Old Mrs. Wen got angry when she heard this: "Is that what you said is human language? Are you happy that your wife is running away because of the outside jokes? Can you keep it on my face?"

"Mom, is your son someone who can't get a wife? You don't know how many people have introduced me to someone. Now I work at an agricultural machinery station, and many people want to marry into our family."

Wen Shaoyu said proudly. Before he could finish his words, Mrs. Wen hit him on the head with a broom.

"Huh? Mom! Why don't you hit someone in the face?"

Wen Shaoyu stood up and jumped to the side.

Old Mrs. Wen sneered: "Shut up. With your moral character, if you want to get married, just get out and start your own business. Don't even think about taking anything from our house. It all belongs to Xiaodu and Yingying." "

Wen Shaoyu patted the non-existent dirt on his head and said, "Why are you so excited? I said that people introduced me to people, and there were many people who wanted to marry into our family, but they didn't say that I wanted to get married? I don't plan to get married in this life. I think this is good. We have children, and our old Wen family also has successors. Let Xiaodu take care of the family lineage. I just want to live my free and easy life."

Mrs. Wen's eyes turned dark with anger. She finally realized that her son was a typical irresponsible man.

If one person is full, the whole family will not be hungry.

When Wen Ying heard what her father and grandma said, she immediately wrote on the stationery: "Brother, come back quickly! Dad wants a new wife, and we are going to have a stepmother!"

Chapter 27

Wen Ying thought of the folk song she heard next to her in her previous life.

"The cabbage, the ground is yellow...I'm just afraid that daddy will marry my stepmother...my brother will eat noodles, and I will drink soup..."

Woohoo!

"Yingying, don't drink the soup."

She wanted to write a letter to her brother and ask him to come back soon.

Wen Ying quickly finished her homework and started writing a letter.

"Brother, there are many people introducing people to dad. It is estimated that in the spring of next year, we will have a younger brother. My younger brother can eat noodles, and we can only drink soup. Yingying loves to eat meat, and Yingying only wants to eat meat. Brother, come back quickly, Drive the stepmother away!"

Wen Shaoyu entered the room and found that her daughter was writing seriously. She praised: "Yingying is really serious about studying. Dad, look at what you have written."

"You do not understand!"

Wen Ying leaned forward, covered her homework with her arms, and stared at her father warily.

"I can't understand? I'm a high school student!" Wen Shaoyu said with pride on his face, "If you weren't worried about me taking the college entrance examination and leaving, your grandma wouldn't be able to live alone with you two, and I would be a city dweller now. ."

Mrs. Wen entered the room and kicked him on the butt: "Bring the food to you."

Wen Shaoyu immediately went to serve the meal.

"Yingying, stop writing, hurry up and clear the table and come over to eat."

"Got it, grandma."

Wen Ying watched the old lady go out, immediately folded the letter she had written, hid it in the textbook and put it in her schoolbag. She went to school tomorrow, and at noon, she went directly to the post office to ask how to send a letter.

If she waited until her brother's letter arrived and then sent it over, her father would also see her letter.

This letter must not be seen by dad.

School was over at noon, and Wen Ying ate very quickly.

After she was full, she took the letter in her hand and ran secretly to the school gate. Instead of going out directly, she ran to the concierge and knocked on the door.

"Grandpa, can you do me a favor?"

Wen Ying has a soft voice and a slow tone. She looks very blessed and very lovable.

The old man at the door asked: "What's going on?"

"I want to go to the post office opposite to send a letter to my brother, but I don't dare to go there myself. Can you watch me at the school gate for a while?" She was worried that there would be traffickers.

Wen Ying didn't say this.

The old man added some coal to the boiler, stood up, picked up his coat and put it on: "Let's go, I'll take you there."

"Grandpa, won't it delay your work if you send me there?" Wen Ying knows that many bosses do not allow employees to leave without permission, otherwise their wages will be deducted.

I don't know if the principal will deduct my grandfather's salary.

When the old man heard this, he smiled and joked: "Oh, you know a lot."

"I'm only in the first grade of elementary school and I only know a little bit about things."

Wen Ying took the old man's hand, crossed the road, and walked fifty meters to the post office.

She looked back at the old man, who said, "Grandpa will wait for you outside if you don't leave."

"Um!"

Wen Ying hurriedly walked into the post office.

There was a small window in the post office. Wen Ying could not see it even if she stood on tiptoes. She took out the coins she had saved for a long time and put them on the table: "Auntie, I want to buy an eight-cent stamp and an envelope. Can you Can you write the address on this letter for me? I can't write yet."

The aunt selling tickets glanced at Wen Ying, picked up a few coins, handed her a stamp and an envelope, pointed to the table next to her and said, "Go over there and ask that aunt to write for you."

"Thank you, aunt."

Wen Ying was very polite and took the envelope to find another aunt.

Just as she was about to speak, the aunt said, "Are you sending the letter to Chucheng?"

"Yes, I want to send a letter to my brother." Wen Ying replied softly. She thought this aunt was really nice.

The post office staff helped Wen Ying write the address and affix the stamps for her.

"Okay, should you put the letter in yourself, or should I put it in for you?" the staff member asked Wen Ying.

Wen Ying couldn't put it down herself, so she handed the letter to the staff: "Auntie, I need to trouble you for a second!"

"No trouble."

The staff felt much happier when they saw the cute little girl in front of her with her face full of blessings. What's more, the little girl has a sweet mouth and is very good at talking.

"Okay, the letter has been sealed and will be delivered this afternoon. In seven or ten days, your brother will receive your letter." The staff member said to Wen Ying with a smile.

Wen Ying nodded happily: "Thank you, auntie, I'm going back to class!"

"Let's go back."

The staff got up and saw Wen Ying running out and following an old man slowly walking to school. When an old boy and a young boy walked into the school, she turned around and went back.

The ticket seller saw her coming in and asked, "Do you quite like that little girl?"

"Blessed."

She said lightly and sat at her work station to handle her work.

When Wen Ying returned to class, Song Liying asked her curiously: "What have you been doing?"

"Sent a letter to my brother!"

Wen Ying was a little excited and couldn't help but want to share it with her good friends.

Song Liying's face was full of envy: "You are so good, you can write letters! I can't even write, and I don't know what to write. I want to write a letter to my sister, who was sent to the countryside by my mother. When I grow up When I grow up, I want to see my sister. If she wants to come back, I will bring her back. That is my sister, my biological sister!"

Wen Ying asked in confusion: "Why was your sister sent to the countryside?"

"Because my mother wants to have a son. She favors boys over girls and doesn't like me at all. She also said that I am already in school now. Starting next summer, she will let me follow him to farm."

Song Liying drank the water on the table as she spoke, and then went to play with the classmates at the back table. She seemed heartless.

But you said she was heartless, but she was still thinking about her sister.

Wen Ying didn't understand Song Liying's thoughts, so she simply didn't think about it.

No matter what, Song Liying's biological mother will still buy her a cake. If her father marries the stepmother, she will be nothing but a baby! Not only will I have no meat to eat from now on, I will also have to drink soup every day!

Wen Ying felt that she would definitely be more pitiable than Song Liying by then.

As long as Song Liying cooks and works, her mother won't beat her. The stepmother is different. She is a thorn in the stepmother's side, a thorn in the flesh, and a free little maid.

It would be fine if I met a kind-hearted person, but where are some kind-hearted stepmothers?

Wen Ying sighed as she thought about it. She looked forward to her brother receiving her letter soon.

Wen Du, who was being nagged by his sister, looked at the workers working on the construction site. Only a few of them were wearing rattan woven safety helmets. Other safety precautions are also minimal.

Now we are just building factories. What if we build high-rise buildings in the future?

Wen Du began to want to do something for this society.

He thought that he should have an idea of ​​what his first factory would produce.

"Xiaodu, I have your letter. The calligraphy on it is quite beautiful. Which girl wrote this letter to you?" Zhao Jiandong came over with the letter and teased Wen Du with a smile.

Wen Duxin said that he was only twelve years old, where could he find a big girl?

He took the letter and saw the address on it, and was a little confused. It was a letter from home, but the words were not written by his father. Could it be that his father was really unreliable and saw him going out to get into trouble and introduced him to someone?

Wen Du stared at that word. It was not like a word that a girl who dropped out of junior high school could write, and he felt relieved.

It's all Zhao Jiandong's fault, causing him to think wrong too.

Wen Du opened the letter quickly and saw the familiar pinyin. He didn't know whether to breathe a sigh of relief or sigh. He rubbed his eyes, sat next to him, and began to read the letter carefully.

I spent more than an hour guessing and correcting the wrong pinyin, and finally finished reading the letter.

Wen Du frowned at the end.

His dad is getting married?

Then he must go back before the New Year.

His father can get married, but his sister must not live with his father. He believed in his grandma and his father, but he didn't believe in his stepmother.

Wen Du thought of the five hundred yuan he sent home, and he felt relieved knowing that the money ended up in grandma's hands.

Zhao Jiandong saw Wen Du frowning and looking unhappy, and asked uneasily: "Xiaodu, has something happened? Tell me, let me feel at ease. It's better for us two to find a way." It's much better for you to think and think alone."

Wen Du looked at Zhao Jiandong strangely: "It's a matter at home, not at the construction site. You don't have to think about it."

Zhao Jiandong knew that he had made a mistake. He scratched his head in embarrassment and asked, "What happened at home? Do you want you to go back and take a look?"

"When this project is completed, I will go back and take a look."

Wen Du originally didn't plan to go back, but now he has no choice but to go back.

Zhao Jiandong's heart skipped a beat, and he hesitated to speak several times when he looked at Wen Du.

At night, he couldn't sleep and squatted in the yard.

Zhao Xiaofei came out to close the door and saw his brother sitting in the yard, so he asked him: "What are you doing sitting here? Still not sleeping? Aren't you going to work tomorrow?"

"I'm upset and can't sleep."

Zhao Jiandong sighed as he spoke, looking at her as if he wanted to kick her.

Although Zhao Xiaofei is also a girl from Fengtian, she has a cheerful personality but is not a bad-tempered one. She can be considered a gentle type.

"Dongzi, if you have anything to do, just say it directly. Don't complain here and delay tomorrow's work. You work so hard on the construction site. If you don't pay attention, something might happen."

Zhao Xiaofei was about to leave, but Zhao Jiandong stopped him: "Sister, Xiaodu said he will go back after the project is completed."

Zhao Xiaofei also fell silent.

She understood her brother's concerns.

"Dongzi, Xiaodu is a capable man. He is your brother and is willing to help you make money. He is also willing to take care of us, mother and daughter. Even Wang Ping, who is also a stranger, is willing to lend a helping hand. Hand. It shows that this person has a good heart and is a reliable person. If he really doesn't want to do this anymore, he will definitely tell you clearly. If nothing else, the money he has earned in these two months will be enough for us, brother and sister, in our lifetime. I dare not even think about it. With this money, we can also start other small businesses."

Zhao Xiaofei is different from before.

She said generously: "If Xiaodu stops doing this, I will go to other construction sites and ask if they are still short of cooks. Then you can also ask if they still need people on the construction sites. Xiaodu will give it to us Point out a way, we can't live relying on others all our lives. This matter is not worth your worries."

When Zhao Jiandong thought about it, he understood.

He said: "Sister, you are still smart. But you are just too stupid to believe that bastard, and that's why you ended up like this."

"Both of us didn't get the certificates, so we held a banquet in the village. Dani and Xiaoni still don't have household registration. I just thought that when I make some money, I can settle down locally and give Dani and Xiaoni They all bear our surname."

She doesn't want that man anymore!

"Okay! I support you! Let's work hard together, brother and sister!"

"Then go to sleep."

"good!"

The siblings returned to the house.

In front of the window on the second floor, a smile appeared on Wen Du's lips.

Chapter 28

It was because he didn't pay attention that he inadvertently caused so much trouble to Zhao Jiandong.

Wen Du decided to reflect.

Get up in the morning.

The milk has been boiled and placed on the table.

Wen Du picked it up and drank it directly. He ate another egg and fifteen cabbage buns with chili. Wang Ping was dumbfounded by his appetite.

Who knew that Zhao Jiandong burped next to him and said, "Sister, next time you make the buns a little bigger, so that you can eat two of them. I can eat a dozen of them at will."

Wang Ping was frightened.

She could only eat two buns at most to be full, but others had to eat more than a dozen.

Zhao Xiaofei was not surprised and said: "This bun is already big enough. Look at the buns sold outside, are they half as big as this? You yourself have a big mouth, and you blame the bun for being small. Go to work quickly, don't be an eyesore here." "

Zhao Jianfei picked up the bowl and drank two bowls of vegetable soup before saying, "Then I'm leaving."

Wen Du wiped his mouth slowly, stood up and followed, "Brother Dong, wait for me, I will go with you today."

"You're going over so early today too?"

Zhao Jiandong stopped and waited until Wen Du caught up before continuing to walk forward.

"Something happened, let me tell you by the way." Wen Du noticed from the corner of his eye that the expression on Zhao Jiandong's face was getting serious, but he still suppressed his emotions and tried to be optimistic.

"What's going on?"

The tone is also very enthusiastic.

Wen Du said, "It's Boss Jing who came from Dongfan. Do you still remember him?"

"What you said is right. How could I have no impression of this person? Even if he is burned to ashes, I can recognize him." After Zhao Jiandong finished speaking, he felt that something was wrong with what he said. He quickly changed his words and said, "Oh , look at my mouth! He can't be burned to ashes, and if he is burned to ashes, what will you do with the fifty thousand yuan?"

Now let alone fifty thousand, if there are five hundred, that is a huge amount of money.

Zhao Jiandong carries 50 cents in his pocket every day. He is definitely the most respectable person in the village.

"We need to take down this project."

Wen Du listened to Zhao Jiandong's expression of wanting to slap himself, and distracted him in time to prevent Zhao Jiandong from really blaming himself to death.

"What? What the hell?"

Zhao Jiandong suspected that he heard wrongly.

Wen Du did not explain, but said seriously: "In shopping malls, time is money. You have also seen that more and more people are coming to Chucheng to build factories. Many people want to be the first to eat crabs. . If you do it too late, you may miss the best opportunity, and you will not be able to become a master."

"Is it so scary?"

Zhao Jiandong still knows little.

Wen Du told him: "There will be something even scarier. The electronics factory next door, do you know how many goods they have in their warehouse? Radios, watches, and other things... Do you know why they make these things? "

"Why?"

Wen Du looked into the distance: "Because a giant dragon is awakening, all this is just the beginning. In the future, you will find that the world is changing every day. If you don't speed up, you will be left behind by this world. Take advantage of it. I'm not very busy now. If you have time, you can read more books."

When Zhao Jiandong heard this, he immediately realized that Wen Du wanted to drag him along.

What bothered him the most since he was a child was reading, but if Wen Du told him to read it, he would read it.

"Xiaodu, can you recommend some books to me?" Zhao Jiandong himself didn't know what to read.

"no problem."

Wen Du holds the textbook and reads it every day.

In his previous life, his level of education was not low. Just because he didn't have a notebook doesn't mean he was uneducated. But no matter how educated he is, he is still a little confused when he sees the questions in junior high school.

Mainly because I have forgotten many things.

Relearning junior high school knowledge is much easier than learning it for the first time. You only need to read the knowledge points once, and you can integrate the knowledge learned before and after.

Wen Du has now completed all the courses before junior high school.

He has started to read other books. Reading can make people wise. He will not stop making progress and keeps reading every day. As long as it's a book, everyone will be welcome.

As a human being, you must learn to distinguish whether anything is correct or not.

Rather than following what others say.

Now there is news that Wen Du couldn't afford a TV, so he tinkered with a radio.

Every night, during mealtime, a radio was placed on the table.

He will use the news to understand the leaders' decisions, as well as the trends of the entire economy, various policies, etc. It is convenient to be able to seize precise elements in time and never let go of every opportunity.

He doesn't ask Zhao Jiandong to be like him now, he will let Zhao Jiandong change bit by bit in a subtle way.

Not keen on various policies?

Well, just cultivate it slowly.

While talking, the two came to the construction site.

The workers have arrived.

Wen Du checked all the materials to make sure there were no problems, and then began to ask the workers to check their safety facilities.

Zhao Jiandong followed the whole process.

He is learning.

Unlike before, he just started working stupidly when he came to the construction site. Now he started to follow Wen Du, intending to make Wen Du take his hands off the construction site. Even if Wen Du cannot come, he can ensure that the progress of the construction site can be carried out steadily.

"Boss Jing will definitely be willing to use us when he sees that the construction period of our project has been shortened so much and the quality is so good. In this case, we will have work to do throughout next year."

Wen Du's tone was very calm, but in Zhao Jiandong's ears, it was like a thunder.

"We have to work for a whole year next year? Didn't you say that he wants to shorten the construction period and put the factory into use faster?" Zhao Jiandong thought, if it were faster, wouldn't they be able to finish the work and leave in March?

"yes."

"Then you still said we can work for a whole year? Did you get a new job again?" Zhao Jiandong asked with surprise on his face.

Wen Du shook his head: "It's still Boss Jing's factory. It's just that we'll work on it in phases. His factory is big, so we'll build factories and warehouses in the early stages. When the time comes, we'll open the door first, and we'll build the buildings behind slowly."

"Building a building? Then I can't!"

Zhao Jiandong felt that he really had nothing in his mind, as it contained the entire Pacific Ocean!

"I can."

Wen Du looked at Zhao Jiandong, who hurriedly promised: "Don't worry, I will definitely read. I know what I will probably read. I will definitely read well."

When Zhao Jiandong said these words, his heart was bleeding.

Wen Du did not stay at the construction site all day.

He walked around the scrapyard, and when he came out, he took out a dilapidated second-hand bicycle.

"Young man, you are good at this craft. If you want to work here, I will give you thirty yuan a month." The old man who collects rags is very grand.

The money you give out will definitely make many people's hearts flutter.

Wen Du did not refuse directly, but smiled politely and said, "Uncle, are you interested in my skills?"

"Isn't that right?" the old man admitted generously, "If you come here, I can give you five yuan more. This salary is no less than the salary of working in the factory."

"Uncle, if you could do this yourself, or if someone in your family could do this, wouldn't all the money go into your family's pockets?" Wen Du's words reminded the old man.

The old man slapped his thigh and said with a smile: "You can do it! If you come here to pick out scraps from now on, Abo will give you an advantage."

"Thank you in advance!"

Wen Du got on the car and headed towards the river.

The riverside is still deserted.

Who would have thought that ten years later, buildings would be erected here and it would become a place where wealthy people would live?

Wen Du looked down at the ground beneath his feet, not without ambition in his heart. But this piece of land does not belong to him, but to the country. He cannot disrupt the pace of the country.

What he has to do now is to save enough money to compete with others before the first piece of land is auctioned.

Fifty thousand yuan sounds like a lot, but if you want to buy a piece of land, it is simply a dream.

at the same time.

Fragrant city.

Located in the middle of the mountain, close to the seaside, there is a top-notch mansion covering an area of ​​5,000 square meters.

Just in time for the weekend.

Everyone in the Lu family returned to the old house on time. The old man's five wives sat beside him. Secondly, only the five children from the big house could sit at the same table with the old man.

Other rooms are divided into two tables to sit together.

There are also many children in the younger generation, among whom the children in the fifth room are several years younger than the eldest grandson, Lu Haozhi.

Mr. Shui sat at the main table and looked at the brothers Lu Haozhi and Lu Jingzhi. He waved happily: "Haozhi, Jingzhi, you two come and sit at grandpa's table."

The two of them passed by, and naturally someone had to give up their position.

Lu Jingzhi was most impatient with this kind of family gathering, where everyone wore hypocritical faces and tried their best to please his grandfather. I want to get more property from my grandfather.

Lu Haozhi didn't like this seemingly lively but actually cold home.

He preferred the simple and warm home in that small mountain village on the other side. He was taken away by human traffickers, and no one cared. In other words, some people feel guilty and dare not ask at all.

Lu Jingzhi had a sullen face and didn't want to go there.

His brother reached out and squeezed his hand, and Ritsuki had no choice but to stand up and walk over.

"grandfather."

The two brothers shouted in unison.

The old man was very happy. He looked at the children and said softly: "Huai'an, you two should change seats with Haozhi and Jingzhi."

Shen Qingtang's face was filled with grievances, and he was still ready to cry. He felt that his father-in-law was cheating on him.

How could she, an elder, sit at the same table as a junior to eat?

Isn't this waiting for people to laugh at her?

Lu Huaian didn't dare to offend the old man, so he got up and took his wife away. When Shen Qingtang refused to leave, he pulled her with all his strength and whispered in her ear in a covert manner: "If you don't leave, there will be nothing in the future. Be patient!"

After thinking about it, Shen Qingtang stood up reluctantly. She didn't dare to stare at her son, and looked at her younger son with a guilty look on her face. In the end, she could only hold back her anger and sit down where her two sons were sitting before.

"Haozhi, how do you feel about going to the mainland this time?" As soon as the old man opened his mouth, no one else dared to move their chopsticks.

Several children were so hungry that they were about to cry and did not dare to reach out to pick up food.

All the kids felt like it was an ordeal they had to go through four times a month.

When Lu Haozhi heard his grandfather's question, he stood up and replied: "We went to many places this time, among which..."

The eldest grandson is the eldest grandson.

When the old man heard what Lu Haozhi said, he nodded frequently. When Lu Haozhi finished speaking, he said with a happy face: "Yes, Haozhi has made a lot of progress, and he is really nothing like your father."

Lu Huaian has tried his best to reduce his presence, but he still gets ridiculed by his father every time.

Even if he fails, he will still give birth to a son as powerful as Haozhi.

Lu Huaian only dared to say this secretly to himself. He didn't even dare to complain to his wife in private. He was afraid that walls had ears and someone would hear him and tell his father.

Then he is completely finished.

The old man looked at Lu Jingzhi again, with a more serious expression: "Jingzhi also went to the mainland with us, do you have any thoughts?"

Everyone in the Lu family knows that Lu Jingzhi is a child who doesn't like to talk and has a very introverted personality.

Very unpleasant.

But he is good-looking and has a good brother. The old man can see this child every time.

Just when everyone was waiting to watch the excitement, Lu Jingzhi stood up and said in a neither humble nor condescending manner: "I think the mainland is very good, and I want to go to the mainland to study."

The old man's expression did not change, and he even asked with a smile: "If you go to the mainland, your parents and your brother will go with you."

Lu Huaian and his wife suddenly became nervous.

They don't want to go to the mainland at all.

The mainland is very inconvenient and has nothing.

The poor can't even spend money.

Lu Jingzhi frowned and said tactfully: "Grandpa, would you like to arrange for two useful people to go with me?"

The Lu family all looked at Lu Huaian and his wife.

Shen Qingtang felt that she was completely humiliated. She glared at her younger son, but he didn't look at her.

Lu Jingzhi felt that as long as he went to the mainland, he would not have to attend the four-day family gathering in January.

"Jingzhi wants to go by himself?"

The old man looked at his grandson curiously. No one knew what the old man was thinking.

"I want to go there with my brother. It won't take long, just a while." Lu Jingzhi was not afraid of the old man at all and boldly made the request.

Everyone thought Lu Jingzhi was naive, but they didn't expect the old man to agree.

"Okay, grandpa will send some powerful people to follow you and let you and your brother go to the other side to play for a few days. You should come back early then."

Lu Jingzhi said happily: "Thank you, grandpa!"

After the reunion dinner, Shen Qingtang wanted to trouble his son and teach him a lesson for talking nonsense.

As soon as she walked over, her eldest son asked her first: "Mommy, are you okay?"

Shen Qingtang looked at the eldest son's see-through eyes and looked at the eldest son's protective attitude. How dare he say anything to the younger son.

"I'm just telling you two, if you go to the other side, be careful."

"Thank you, Mommy, for your concern." Lu Haozhi thanked him with a smile.

Shen Qingtang took a breath and left.

Lu Haozhi waited for her to leave and then said to his brother: "Zhizhi, don't be angry with mommy. She is a woman who cares about face. Anyway, for the sake of her being angry with us, let her stay Save some face."

"Isn't she afraid of the past? Isn't she happy that I told the truth?" Lu Jingzhi's words left Lu Haozhi speechless.

Fortunately, mommy didn't question her brother, otherwise he would have been furious and angry.

"Zhizhi, if you talk like this, you will definitely not be liked by girls in the future." Lu Haozhi is already twelve years old and has already started attending various banquets.

He knows more than his brother.

Lu Jingzhi put on a cool face and said coldly: "It's better if you don't like it."

He wished those girls wouldn't come to pester him.

Every time he was forced to attend a banquet, many girls would always pester him and ask, why are his eyelashes so long? Why are you so white? And why doesn't he wear a small skirt?

It's better to be Yingying, talk less, know that he is a boy, and still call him one!

Chapter 29

"Seeing that the Chinese New Year is about to come, are you going to the other side now?"

Lu Jingzhi didn't want to stay here, he felt it was suffocating.

Although the opposite side was poor, it gave him a sense of freedom. He didn't like the Lu family and wanted to avoid them everywhere. Because his parents didn't do anything, he was deliberately sold by someone who was interested, and they didn't know it. His mother only cries all the time and despises him for not being as smart as his brother.

If he hadn't had a good relationship with his brother and had no intention of competing with him, his mother's stupid way of venting her emotions on her son every day would have turned their brothers against each other.

"Don't you like the other side? Or do you think the other side is very poor?"

Lu Jingzhi was precocious since he was a child. He was born in such a cunning family. He was also smarter than ordinary children. He likes to be alone, and his brain keeps thinking about many, many things.

Sometimes, he sees things more clearly than adults.

That's because he sees himself as an outsider.

Lu Haozhi shook his head. He always had a sense of superiority about him, which Lu Jing could see through at a glance.

"You think the people on the other side are poor and backward, and you look down on them. Although your upbringing prevents you from saying such things, brother, ask yourself, do you really like the other side? You don't."

Lu Jingzhi felt that his brother should not be like this. A real businessman should not let his vision become so short-sighted.

"Brother, do you know why grandpa asked you to follow mom and dad to the mainland? And do you know why grandpa agreed to let us go to the other side?" Lu Jingzhi is very smart, terrifyingly smart.

Lu Haozhi always felt that if his brother were older, his grandfather would definitely like him more.

But he knew his brother didn't like it.

Therefore, he always stands in front of his younger brother and lets his younger brother do what he likes.

He has a lot of homework every day and a lot to learn. He has experienced the pain of being overwhelmed by various elite educations, and he doesn't want his younger brother to go through it again.

The only joy in Lu Haozhi's life is his younger brother.

He watched his younger brother frowning and carefully pointing out his mistakes, and he couldn't help but want to watch for a while longer.

It's so happy that his brother cares about him.

"Of course it's because grandpa wants me to seize the opportunity. As soon as he leaves, the media outside will write about it. But no one will pay attention to our whereabouts." Before Lu Haozhi finished speaking, Lu Jingzhi was already tense The cool little face is gone.

That handsome little figure is quite ruthless.

Oops, I'm so amused!

The younger brother looked angry.

Lu Haozhi ran after him, followed his brother, and said with a flattering tone: "Zhizhi, are you angry?"

"I'm very excited. I can waste a lot of time. Because my brother is smarter than I thought. I can't even get happy, so how can I be angry?"

This is obviously angry.

His tone is very much like grandpa's.

Lu Haozhi also likes to see his younger brother angry. He just appreciates it. If he doesn't coax his younger brother well, he probably won't take him with him when he goes to the other side tomorrow.

"Zhizhi, we..."

"Don't call me one!"

"Okay, Xiaojing, how much do you think it's appropriate for us to bring over to the other side?" Lu Haozhi diverted his brother's attention to distract his anger.

Lu Jingzhi said lukewarmly: "Whatever investment you want to make, bring as much money as you want. Anyway, grandpa will definitely give you a lot."

"It makes sense, Xiaojing is so smart."

After Lu Haozhi said with a smile, Lu Jingzhi walked faster.

He followed his brother with a smile in his eyes.

Chucheng.

Wen Du and Zhao Jiandong went to buy the materials in person.

I saw many stylish cars on the road.

Zhao Jiandong said enviously: "I never knew that anyone could drive such a car."

"You will have it later too."

Wen Du was not envious at all.

Because every household will have a car in the future.

Zhao Jiandong didn't dare to think: "I don't even have a bicycle now, but I still want a car? If my mother knew about this, she would definitely tell me to just dream. Dreams will come true faster."

Wen Du asked him with a smile: "Are you going back for the New Year?"

"If you don't go back, what are you going to do during the New Year?" Zhao Jiandong actually wanted to go back, but he knew that Wen Du was going back.

If they take over the project from the boss in Dongpan, construction will definitely start before the year.

Chucheng is extremely hot in summer.

It's better to start work as early as possible.

Wen Du was surprised: "You won't go back during the New Year?"

He remembered that all the people working outside now wanted to go home for the New Year. According to the money Zhao Jiandong gets now every month, it is not impossible to make a round trip.

Zhao Jiandong shook his head: "It costs a lot of money to go back and forth. It's better for me to remit the money directly to my family so that they can buy a few more kilograms of meat and have a good New Year."

Wen Du had planned this before.

In the passing car, the driver was driving, and there was a bodyguard sitting in the passenger seat. Other bodyguards sat in the car behind and escorted the brothers throughout the process.

Instead of staying in a hotel, they went to a house that had obviously been cleaned.

The door plaque on the house is an old door plaque.

Two words can be clearly seen: Luzhai.

The car drove into the yard, and Lu Haozhi asked his brother to go in and rest.

Xiangcheng is very unstable now, and many people will do anything for money. Coupled with the fact that his younger brother was abducted by traffickers last time, Lu Haozhi was even more worried about his younger brother going out alone.

Not even with many bodyguards.

"I'll go back to my room and rest."

As long as he is not at home or in Xiangcheng, Lu Jingzhi is in a good mood.

Lu Haozhi still had things to do, so he had people keep an eye on his brother while he drove out by himself.

Ritsu Kageyuki said he wanted to rest, but he didn't mean to rest.

He took out the letter paper, put it on the table, picked up the pen, and started writing.

Even though he is about the same age as Wen Ying, he has actually been literate since he was two years old and started writing at the age of three. Not to mention writing a letter, even writing an article is not a problem.

I don't know if Yingying's life is good now.

Now he is on the other side, writing a letter to Yingying, and Yingying should be able to receive it. I just don't know if he will receive Yingying's reply.

He won't be here long before he goes back.

Thinking of this, Lu Jingzhi was not in a good mood.

After writing the letter, Lu Jingzhi went out to send the letter, leaving the bodyguard behind to follow him. People on the street were stunned for a moment, not sure what was going on.

But they all knew that the child being protected in the middle must have an extraordinary background.

When he arrived at the post office, Lu Jingzhi asked: "How to sell stamps?"

"Eight points."

"Where's the envelope?"

"Two points."

"Then buy one set, no, two sets of stamps."

Lu Jingzhi thought of Wen Ying's home and silently bought more stamps. Envelopes won't fit in them, but stamps will.

I hope Wen Ying doesn't have to worry more about the stamp money when she wants to write him a letter.

Their life-and-death friendship should be worth two cents, right?

Lu Jingzhi was a little unsure.

He told Wen Ying all the unhappy things, and Wen Ying wouldn't see anyone at home anyway.

Lu Jingzhi sent the letter away and went back.

When he got home, Lu Haozhi had already negotiated the business and returned.

The brothers went to bed after eating.

Wen Du is still working on the construction site. As the Chinese New Year is approaching, he has to catch up on the progress. After dinner, everyone will continue to work for a while. The workers didn't have any objections, because if they worked a few more hours a day, they would earn three more yuan a month.

None of them wished they had to work for so long in the future.

I feel happy when I have money. Anyway, if you don't work after eating, you will just lie down when you are lying down.

Lying down made them feel empty.

Wen Du was calculating accounts with a notebook. He wanted to know how much money he could make. The materials he used were all good and no corners were cut. It can be said that Huang Longyi has really made money.

When Zhao Jiandong came back from the construction site and saw Wen Du still busy, he took a shower and sat in the yard chatting with his sister.

"Sister, I've been so busy these days that I forgot to tell you. Xiaodu plans to continue taking me to do this." Zhao Jiandong chuckled like a fool, and his face looked cute, "So I'm celebrating the New Year I don't plan to go back."

Zhao Xiaofei was originally worried about where his mother and daughter would go during the Chinese New Year, but now that he heard that his brother was staying here to celebrate the Chinese New Year, and that they would also work with Wen Du, he was no longer confused.

"Your parents will definitely be worried if you don't go home." Zhao Xiaofei also wanted to go back to his hometown, but the round trip expenses for mother and daughter were quite expensive.

The cost of starting school for my two daughters is also quite high.

If she returns home, she will have no money to pay school fees for her children.

Zhao Jiandong said: "I will remit all the money to my family. Then I will write a letter back to explain the situation to them. Next year we will definitely have money to go back to celebrate the New Year."

Zhao Xiaofei's eyes turned red and he nodded heavily: "Yes!"

Wen Du calculated the accounts clearly, looked at each worker's attendance, and finally calculated the wages to be paid to the workers.

Not counting the two design drawings given by Wen Du, the profit from this project was pretty good. But if the design drawings were included, Wen Du felt that he was losing money.

Who makes him have no fame, no company, and nothing now?

It's already pretty good to make this kind of money at the beginning.

Seeing that one month is coming.

Wen Du estimated that Mr. Jing would come over.

Just as he was thinking about it, Boss Jing arrived.

Wen Du showed him the architectural design drawings, and Jing Weizhou's eyes flashed with surprise. To be honest, this design made his eyes shine. It was more eye-catching than many foreign designs he had seen before...

How to say that?

It just looks more comfortable.

Jing Weizhou suddenly understood why this kid could speak like a lion.

"Boss Jing, do you need the construction design drawing? If you do, I'll make it cheaper for you and give you a discount of 45,000. What do you think?"

Jing Weizhou: "..."

He felt that he was a victim, and there were four words engraved on his forehead: a boy who scattered wealth.

He didn't speak, and Wen Du wasn't in a hurry, waiting very patiently.

Zhao Jiandong listened with confusion on his face.

He thought he might be crazy.

Because he actually thought that Wen Du's offer of 45,000 yuan was really a huge deal.

"I can find other people to do the construction design drawings." It's not like Jing Weizhou can't find others to do this, and those people's prices will only be cheaper than what Wendu offers.

Wen Du is now like a lion with his mouth wide open.

"Boss Jing, if you go back to find someone now, not to mention the travel expenses back and forth, just the time lost, do you think it's worth it? Forty-five thousand, to you, is just a small amount. Have you thought about it in the future?"

"In the future?" Jing Weizhou frowned.

"You have been inspecting the local area for a long time during this period, and you should have learned about the local situation, right?" Wen Du was not trying to attract business, he was clearly trying to scare people.

Zhao Jiandong looked at Wen Du's overly young face and felt that his mental quality was really poor.

Jing Weizhou's expression darkened a bit.

The local people are very xenophobic.

Many investors from outside cannot spend their money at all. In the end, the price of the workers hired was much more expensive than the factory built by locals, almost twice as much.

It makes people waste money in vain.

Building a factory cannot be built in a day or two.

The extra money spent is not just 40,000 to 50,000 yuan.

Jing Weizhou understood that Wen Du had noticed this and dared to ask for so much money. To be honest, his design drawings were indeed worth so much money, and he was willing to give them the money.

"You should know me. I have an engineering team under me. Our construction speed is very fast, and we will come over for inspection in two days. If you are not sure, you can just come over and take a look."

Wen Du didn't say anything directly, but expressed his demands very tactfully.

When Jing Weizhou was about to get up and leave.

He also took out another construction design drawing and put it on the table: "Boss Jing, why don't you take a look at the design drawing first?"

Zhao Jiandong: "..."

He didn't even know Wen Du had such a skill.

Jing Weizhou looked at Wen Wen again and his eyes were wrong.

People he knows usually take half a month or even longer to draw such a picture.

Unexpectedly, Wen Du actually drew it all in just one month.

Jing Weizhou originally didn't plan to ask Wendu to take over the project, but now he is a little hesitant: "I'll come and take a look in a few days."

As soon as he left, Zhao Jiandong touched the fine sweat on his forehead and gave a thumbs up to Wen Du.

"Xiaodu, you are really awesome! But what do I think about this boss Jing's intention? Does he not plan to find us anymore?"

Wen Du looked at Jing Weizhou's back and said confidently, "He will come to us."

"Why?"

"Because he can't wait."

Chapter 30

Wen Du seemed to have the ability to predict things.

On the third day, when Huang Longyi's factory was due to be completed, Jing Weizhou showed up.

He was wearing a suit and was followed by several people who seemed to know a lot about him.

Zhao Jiandong secretly gave Wen Du a thumbs up: "Brother, you are so awesome."

Not his bull.

But the people who can draw this kind of map now are the breadwinners of the country. If you want to find work with them, it will definitely take a long time. The half month he mentioned was the time to work full time and focus on drawing construction design drawings.

For those who have jobs, if they take jobs secretly, they can only do it at night. There are only so many hours in a day, and they can't delay the time of going to work. It's obvious that the time will definitely get longer.

Jing Weizhou absolutely cannot afford to wait.

Time is money. If the land is bought and the business is negotiated, but the factory is not built, then it means losing money.

A typical businessman like Jing Weizhou would definitely feel distressed.

Some people looked solemn, while others were smiling.

Huang Longyi was in a state of excitement from the moment the project was completed. He didn't come alone, he even brought his mother and daughter-in-law.

Also coming with him were several of his sisters and their daughters.

Zhao Jiandong couldn't help but laugh when he saw those women.

"Oh, I thought it was exaggerating that I brought my sister and niece with me. Compared with our Mr. Huang, it's really far behind."

Wen Du said: "They run a clothing factory, and the women in their family are all tailors."

That's ready-made craftsmanship.

There is no need to recruit workers in the early stage.

Zhao Jiandong felt that Huang Longyi had a good mind and was very flexible.

"No wonder he can be the boss, but I can only rely on you to make a living." Zhao Jiandong no longer laughs at Huang Longyi.

Huang Longyi supported his mother, and after visiting his factory, he came to Wen Du, held his hand and said: "I really don't know how to say thank you. Again, if you have anything to do, you can ask me, as long as I Whatever I can do, I will definitely do it for you."

Wen Du smiled and said, "Then I will remember it."

"Must note it down."

Huang Longyi wanted to invite Wen Du to dinner, but Wen Du refused.

"Looking at the end of the year, your factory has chosen an auspicious day to start work. I also want to go back early to celebrate the New Year. My family is still waiting for me." Wen Du took the final payment from Huang Longyi and left with Zhao Jiandong.

When leaving, he pretended not to see Jing Weizhou.

After coming out of the factory, Zhao Jiandong looked back and saw that no one was following him before asking Wen Du, "Are we just leaving like this?"

"Remember one thing, rushing is not a business."

He Wendu relies on reputation, true ability, and means to do business.

Wen Du is Zhao Jiandong's backbone. If Wen Du says to go east, he will never go west. He followed Wen Du and left immediately. On the way back, the two of them bought a lot of fresh vegetables.

These are not for the workers to eat, but for themselves.

Wendu gave the workers three days off.

Working continuously without taking a break for such a long time. Although I'm used to working, I can't stand it. These days, Zhao Xiaofei doesn't have to make a big pot of rice, the workers will eat by themselves. These days we are all paid, but we don't care about food.

When they returned, Zhao Xiaofei had already steamed rice and was washing vegetables.

When I saw the fresh vegetables that Wen Du and the others brought back, I got this fresh one. She knew that Wen Du had a habit of getting ready for anything he bought as soon as possible.

Wen Du went upstairs and started packing his things.

After cleaning up, he came downstairs. He was carrying a bag and a notebook and pen in his hand.

Zhao Jiandong saw him coming out and asked in surprise: "What are you going to do?"

"Pay wages to the workers. As the Chinese New Year is approaching, give them the money first." Wen Du had promised before that the project would be inspected today and the money would be paid after it passes the inspection.

Many people whose homes are nearby have not returned.

Those from other places don't want to leave even more. They are afraid that Wen Du will escape if they stay here.

It would take some time for the rice to be cooked, so Wen Du went over to pay the workers.

Zhao Jiandong picked up his coat and put it on and followed Wen Du.

When the two arrived, none of the workers had eaten. They were all sitting listlessly in the yard. It was easy to see that they were very worried on their faces. Everyone is looking forward to getting paid after the work is done. But not a penny was paid, and everyone felt unsure.

There are dozens of workers, and each one costs more than 100 yuan, which is quite a lot of money together.

The New Year is just around the corner, and they still hope to go home with money and spend a good New Year.

If Wen Du took the money and ran away, they would have no place to reason.

When they saw Wen Du, everyone's eyes widened because they all saw the bag Wen Du was carrying.

"I'll give you a holiday these days. If you want to go home, just go home. If you don't want to celebrate the New Year at home, or won't go back to celebrate the New Year, and are willing to continue with me, just wait here."

After Wen Du finished speaking, he didn't care what the workers were talking about. After sitting down, he said: "Whoever's name is called, come and get the money."

Zhao Jiandong can't read, but he can count money.

He counted the wages and put them in front of Wen Du. Wen Du picked them up and passed them over before handing them over to the workers.

You can't go wrong with this.

"Pang Feilong."

"Zhao Jinyu."

"Zou Haiyang."

...

All the workers looked at the money in their hands and found that everyone had five yuan more.

They looked at Wen Du blankly, and Wen Du stood up and said, "The five yuan is a red envelope given to everyone. I wish you all a Happy New Year in advance. Okay, I still want to eat, so I will go back first."

As soon as Wen Du took Zhao Jiandong away, the workers became excited.

This is the first time for many of them to look for work and earn so much money for the first time.

"Boss Wen looks tender and a little fierce, but he is quite generous. I was worried that he would run away with the money and not pay us wages. Who knew that he would keep his word and give us an extra five yuan. "

This is five dollars!

In the countryside, many families cannot afford five yuan a year.

"Yeah, I didn't dare to tell you before, but I was actually very worried. The boy from the village next to us came out to look for work, and he also worked for others. He was given fifty yuan a month, but food and accommodation were not included. He He worked hard every day, but who knew that after working for half a year, the boss ran away. I heard that the contractor was from out of town, and no one could find him. Counting the rent, the boy spent ten yuan a month. He only had All the money I had was spent, and I didn't earn a penny."

Other workers heard a sigh of relief.

"I don't plan to go back to celebrate the New Year. I will write a letter to my family later and wait until tomorrow morning to send the money and the letter back to my family."

Someone suddenly suggested.

Others thought it was a good idea.

Those who are far away will naturally stay here.

If it's close to home, just take a car and plan to send the money home and then come back.

Many people think so.

Zhao Jiandong's heart ached when he thought of the great unity that was sent out.

"These people are good at work, and they are obedient and not sneaky. The key is that they can keep up with our pace. We will definitely have to take on a lot of projects in the future. We can't find new people every time."

When Zhao Jiandong heard Wen Du's words, he immediately felt less uncomfortable.

He felt that his vision was too narrow and could not compare to Wen Du's hair.

When we got home, the food was just being served.

Wen Du handed Wang Ping his wages: "I told you yesterday that the official holiday starts today. This is your wages during this period."

Wang Ping clutched the money in her hand and burst into tears.

Zhao Xiaofei hurriedly said: "Xiao Wang, don't cry! You are twins now, so you can't cry."

"I'm not feeling uncomfortable, I'm just happy and excited." Wang Ping never thought that she could support the family by herself even if the man's leg was broken.

Wen Du is not soft-hearted, but he always remembers the people who were kind to him in his previous life.

Gifts of roses, hand a fragrance.

He is not a kind person, but he will help those who are in trouble he meets.

Sometimes, if you give him a hand, he may come back from the abyss.

"If you go home and finish your work, you can still come back to help. After the child is born and after confinement, it's not impossible to come over and work." When Wen Du said this, Wang Ping wanted to cry again.

She is just a simple country woman, but she has a lot of courage that country women of this era don't have.

"Thank you, Boss Wen, thank you, thank you so much! You are a great benefactor to our family." Wang Ping wanted to kowtow to Wen Du.

Wen Du said with a straight face, "You don't have to thank me. If you want to thank me, just thank yourself. It was you who gave yourself the hope of living. It was you who saved your family."

She is a brave woman.

Wang Ping finally stopped crying. Wen Du, who was very hungry, was about to pick up his bowl and eat when he heard footsteps coming from the door. He subconsciously turned his head to look and saw Jing Weizhou standing at the door wearing leather shoes, combed hair and a suit.

Okay, this meal is too much to eat!

Wen Du put down his bowls and chopsticks and greeted with a smile: "Boss Jing, it's better to come early than to come by chance. Our family just had dinner, why don't you sit down and have a few drinks?"

Zhao Xiaofei took the children and Wang Ping and got up to leave.

When Jing Weizhou saw a room full of women and children, he naturally wouldn't sit down shamelessly.

"Boss Wen, I've already eaten." Jing Weizhou declined.

"Brother Dong, get a bench for Boss Jing and pour a cup of tea." After Wen Du finished speaking, he sat down and continued to eat, and he ate at a speed that made him gobble it up.

He eats very quickly, but his manners are very good.

It can be seen that he has a good background.

Jing Weizhou felt relieved when he thought about it.

Such a young man probably has a family background, which is why he is so rampant.

Zhao Jiandong stood up and took a stool, then moved a small bamboo table and placed it in front of Jing Weizhou. Jing Weizhou was sitting under the tree, drinking tea leisurely.

Wen Du sat still like an old monk, not in any hurry.

He finally finished his meal, stood up and rinsed his mouth, then walked to sit next to Jing Weizhou.

"Boss Jing, have you decided to hand over this project to us?" Wen Du really likes to play straight.

Jing Weizhou: "..."

Can he say no?

Everyone is here, isn't this obvious?

"That's the idea."

"It would be best if Boss Jing chooses us to cooperate." Wen Du turned on the trickster mode, "If you are in a hurry to start work, we can build a factory for you first. If you later request the staff dormitories and canteen, we can build them in batches Do it. The dormitory can be rented temporarily, and the canteen can be easily solved. The factory and warehouse, these two are the most important."

Jing Weizhou also knows this truth.

If he wasn't in a hurry, why would he come back to find Wen Du.

It would probably take a long time to find someone else to draw the construction design drawings. Moreover, the architectural design drawing itself was designed by Wen Du, who had personally seen the site and conducted actual inspections before drawing it. The construction design drawings he drew must be faster than others.

Because he knew it well.

Forty-five thousand, it's not like he can't afford it.

He saw the factory built by Wen Du for Huang Longyi. To be honest, that factory fit Jing Weizhou's wishes very well.

"How long will it take you to complete the project?" Jing Weizhou asked.

"Let's see how much you can give."

"The price for three months is different from the price for one month. Moreover, if the quality and quantity are guaranteed, the money will definitely be different." Wen Du counted the numbers with his hands, which was like a lion's mouth.

Jing Weizhou knew that Wen Du was a cruel person, but he didn't expect Wen Du to be so cruel.

"This price is not right." This is not Jing Weizhou's first time doing business, and he also knows that there are things to negotiate. "If you are cheaper, we will sign the contract now."

Wen Du is not twenty-year-old Wen Du, nor is he twelve years old. He is a man who became the richest man in his previous life.

Can a man who climbed up from the bottom and directly became the richest man be a simple person?

"How much profit will your factory create in one month? It started more than two months in advance. At the price I mentioned, which one do you think is more cost-effective?" Wen Du only worked for one month, but his money tripled.

At first glance, Jing Weizhou naturally disagreed.

After Wen Du said this, he felt that he had made a fortune.

"make a deal."

Jing Weizhou gritted his teeth and agreed.

Zhao Jiandong came over to sign the contract on Wen Du's behalf, and Jing Weizhou had someone come in and pay the deposit.

Wen Du also checked on the spot and confirmed that it was all real money and the amount was correct before closing the bag.

Wen Du stood up with a smile and shook hands with him: "Boss Jing, happy cooperation."

"A pleasure to work with."

Jing Weizhou almost said these four words through gritted teeth.

As soon as Jing Weizhou left, Zhao Jiandong gave Wen Du a thumbs up: "Brother, you can do it! Did you really win this?"

"Construction will start the day after tomorrow, but there are not enough workers. We have to build his factory and warehouse within a month. Otherwise, even if we breach the contract, we will lose money by then."

Zhao Jiandong's skin suddenly became tight.

It happened that the workers hadn't left yet, so Wen Du walked towards the workers.

As soon as he entered, the workers shouted enthusiastically: "Boss Wen! Boss Zhao!"

Wen Du said to the workers: "We will start work the day after tomorrow. If there is anyone around you who can do these jobs and is willing to work, you can bring them with you. The day after tomorrow at the latest, I won't need anyone."

Many workers are local, and even if they are not local, they are not far from here.

You can go back on the same day.

After Wen Du finished speaking, someone asked excitedly: "Boss Wen, if they don't know how to do these jobs, but they are willing to learn, can they come?"

"Yes, but the money is not that much. Such people are considered apprentices, and they earn twenty yuan a month. Experienced people are the same as you, and they earn thirty yuan a month."

Someone asked uneasily: "Boss Wen, my home is far away from here. It may take two days to arrive late. Is that okay?"

"Then those from other places will be given two more days."

After Wen Du finished speaking, everyone around him left.

Everyone got the promise, but they were worried that they wouldn't have enough time and everyone would be gone in the afternoon.

Those who didn't leave gritted their teeth and sent a telegram home to ask people to come over quickly.

It's rare to see such a good boss.

Many construction sites have long construction periods, a lot of work, and no wages for a long time. Nowadays, more and more people are being deceived. A boss who gives money on time and is willing to give an extra five yuan to celebrate the New Year is simply a living Buddha.

Who wouldn't want to work for such a boss?

Everyone wanted to bring the whole village.

Before coming, Zhao Jiandong was worried about where to find people during the Chinese New Year.

When he came out of the workers' place, Zhao Jiandong only had two words for Wen Du: admire him!

"You shouldn't give me five more yuan. In fact, you are asking them to take the initiative to find workers for us, right?" Zhao Jiandong finally reacted.

Wen Du asked, "Otherwise, who do you think I am? A great virtuous person?"

He is so short of money now, how can he be willing to give so much money to others.

But it won't work without giving money.

During the Chinese New Year, everyone who came out to work went back.

The next day, Wen Du went to the construction site early, while Zhao Jiandong went to run materials.

When they came back in the evening, they met.

Wen Du checked on Zhao Jiandong, and after finding some problems, Zhao Jiandong immediately became vigilant. Once the price is agreed upon, they will deliver the goods. Wen Du stood nearby wearing a safety helmet and watched to make sure there were no problems before letting the delivery man leave.

Anyway, he doesn't pay the full amount. If there is a problem, he won't pay.

Fortunately, people nowadays are very simple, and there are not many people who do bad things.

The workers arrived one after another.

More than a hundred workers came one after another.

Wen Du had the foresight to rent a five-story white building. He made all the rooms paved with bricks and wooden boards. There are many rooms, enough for everyone.

Six dedicated bathing areas.

The environment is even better than the previous building.

The rent for the previous apartment had not yet expired, so Wen Du found his wife who could work nearby to come over and take care of things. Just treat this place as a canteen.

He also rebuilt the stove to make it more convenient for cooking in the summer.

The more people there are, the more food needs to be prepared.

Zhao Xiaofei would definitely be too busy by himself.

Therefore, when Wang Ping went back, he asked Wang Ping to bring two people over.

Now that work is about to start, and Wang Ping hasn't come back yet, Wen Du plans to temporarily hire three local wives. Who knew that when he was about to go out to look for someone, he saw Wang Ping coming back.

There were four women accompanying her.

Wang Ping said embarrassedly: "Boss Wen, did I bring too many people?"

"Not much is just right." Wen Du was still worried that Wang Ping wouldn't be able to bring anyone out.

Wang Ping hurriedly introduced them: "This is my aunt, this is my aunt, this is my mother-in-law, and this is my eldest aunt. This is the boss Wen I told you about."

"Boss Wen, okay!"

The woman from Wang Ping's family spoke awkward Mandarin and said hello to Wen Du.

When Wen Du saw people coming, he didn't need to go out to look for them, so he said to Wang Ping: "We will start work tomorrow, and we must prepare a lot of things today. Go and ask Sister Xiao Fei if there is anything you need to do. Wait until it is ready. , just go to bed early and get up early to start work tomorrow."

They were all out to make money, so Wen Du simply said it more directly.

When the women's army at Wang Ping's house heard that they would work tomorrow, they urged Wang Ping to go back quickly.

None of them wanted to rest.

In the evening, when Wen Du came back, Zhao Xiaofei was still awake.

Wang Ping's family does not live here, but in the house where the workers lived before.

He asked Zhao Xiaofei: "How are those people working? If it doesn't work, let's replace them. Sister Xiaofei, I'm paying for someone to do the work for you, not to let you suffer."
