Chapter 50

When asked about Sun Qing, Chen Xi immediately laughed.

She gestured with a smile: "Do you still remember the price list she made? The one with pictures of biscuits and steamed buns?

Yesterday, Chongcong said that she was not allowed to sell electricity in front of our house, but the girl took the price list and her power bank and went to the town.

I mean, this girl is really the smartest girl I have ever met. She might be afraid of being bullied. Guess where she set up her stall? "

Chen Cong asked in a flattering tone, "Where is it?"

Chen Xi smiled and said, “She got a piece of plastic sheet and set up her stall at the entrance of the passage where government officials register job seekers!”

At this point, she tutted her tongue twice: "Sun Qing is really capable! She looks small to begin with. She sits there, with three power banks in front of her, and a price list that is so well drawn. Who would have the heart to chase her away?"

Imagining that scene, Chen Cong couldn't help but chuckle: "Isn't this just the fox taking advantage of the tiger's might?"

In that kind of place - as long as the staff didn't chase her away, even if someone wanted to take advantage of her, they wouldn't dare to touch her.

And there are so many people there, so there must be a lot of potential customers.

Even if everyone didn't bring their cell phones today, if they see someone selling electricity, someone will go over there specially in the next few days, right?

Thinking about Sun Qing's cleverness, Chen Cong himself began to doubt himself.

Did something really happen to this girl in her previous life?

Could it be that they left on their own?

If that's the case, then there's no need to worry about her.

"And what's more," Chen Xi found it more and more funny the more he talked, "She also changed the price, making it twice as expensive as the one marked at the door of our house! She even changed the soda crackers into cookies."

When this was said, the whole family laughed.

Even Shen Jianyi couldn't help but curl his lips and sighed: "Old Sun is really smart, otherwise his business wouldn't be so big. This girl looks like him!"

"If they are so rich, why would they buy a house here? Why don't they buy a good house in a decent neighborhood?" Chen Cong was curious.

"How do you know that they didn't buy a house in another neighborhood?"

Cheng Ru said: "People like this definitely don't have just one or two houses. I heard that the houses in this community were not bought by others.

It is said that when the residential area was built, a part of the land of your uncle Sun’s factory was occupied, and this house was given to their family by the real estate developer as compensation.

Because this place is close to your uncle Sun's factory and it's quiet, so they spend more time living here."

The lives of rich people are incomprehensible, and Chen Cong doesn't want to gossip about other people's past.

Now that I know that Sun Qing is a quick-witted girl and won't starve herself to death, I feel relieved.

It was almost eight o'clock in the evening when Chen Xi and the others came back. After eating something and talking for a while, the family reached ten o'clock in the blink of an eye.

There is no entertainment to kill time at night now, and after working a whole day, everyone is exhausted and ready to go back to their rooms to sleep.

At this time, someone knocked on the door from outside again.

Who will come at this time?

Everyone in the family stopped.

Gu Kai was the first to run to open the door, and Chen Cong followed curiously.

After opening the door, the two found that the person standing at the door was the community's electrician.

When the earthquake first happened, Chen Cong went to the electrician's room to ask him to turn off the power, but he ran faster than a rabbit, and Chen Cong couldn't catch up with him.

The master was probably in his early forties, not tall, thin, and looked very energetic.

But we had never had much dealings with each other before.

Seeing him, the couple quickly let him into the yard. Gu Kai asked, "Master Zhu, why are you here at this time? What's the matter?"

Only then did Chen Cong know that the master's surname was Zhu.

Master Zhu shook his head and said, "It's too late. I won't go in."

Then he explained: "Xiao Gu, I came to see you on purpose. It's like this. Today we got a job in town. The town fertilizer factory is hiring people to repair the lines. They said that they might be able to supply electricity soon.

They want to recruit 20 electricians, Xiao Xu and I both signed up. They said each person can also bring in a helper, and I don’t have an apprentice, so do you want to come with me and try it out? "

This is pie in the sky, such a good thing that I never thought of!

What is lacking in today's society? People with special skills!

Especially for skilled workers like electricians, plumbers, and bricklayers, they never had to worry about work or food even in the poorest and most difficult times.

Master Zhu's ability to find his way home was simply giving Gu Kai a chance to make a living.

"I do." Gu Kai answered without hesitation.

After that, he asked hesitantly, "But I don't know anything about electrical work?"

"It's okay, it's okay. If you don't understand, just learn it. I'll teach you when the time comes."

Master Zhu smiled and said, "I saw that the solar energy repair in your house was done by you and Master Shen before, wasn't it repaired very well? This is the basics, practice more, and you will be able to do everything."

Master Zhu was obviously very happy to find a helper. He did not stay in the Shen family for long. He made an appointment with Gu Kai to meet up tomorrow and left.

Master Zhu had been gone for quite some time, but the couple still hadn't recovered from the shock.

Gu Kai himself couldn't believe it: "Just because I know how to repair solar energy? That's not that difficult, right?"

He looked at his wife and asked blankly.

There are more than a hundred young and middle-aged people in the community!

Except for the two team leaders, no matter who Master Zhu asks to learn electrician skills, no one will refuse.

I guess if he just spread the word that he would be willing to exchange food for a spot, people would scramble for it.

Why did such a good thing happen to me?

I'm not familiar with him at all.

Chen Cong also felt that this guy's luck was a little too good.

But the man himself is still clear.

Although Gu Kai usually keeps quiet and doesn't look as strong as some of the young people in the hospital.

But he works seriously and is indeed very skillful.

Just like the solar energy that Master Zhu mentioned, who has come into contact with it before?

It was nothing more than that he watched others install it for two days.

Now that a problem has arisen, he and his father are able to solve it bit by bit.

I guess Master Zhu also weighed the people in the community and felt that Gu Kai was good in all aspects before choosing him.

Therefore, Chen Cong now only felt that Master Zhu had good vision and was good at selecting people.

On the contrary, he is not as worried about gains and losses as Gu Kai.

Knowing the purpose of Master Zhu's visit, the whole family was very happy. Cheng Ru was no longer sleepy and insisted on going to prepare things for Gu Kai to bring tomorrow.

Stopped by Chen Cong.

"Mom, we don't have anything to eat at home, why do you have to cook so late at night? Are you afraid that others don't know that your son-in-law is favored by Master Zhu! Okay, go to bed, I'll prepare his food."

Even though she said so, Cheng Ru still kept telling it over and over again out of concern.

In fact, you really can't bring any food when you go out at this time.

These days, even the dry food distributed by the town as wages is not as good as before.

Some time ago, we were still distributing white flour steamed buns and white flour cakes. But these days, it is said that the white flour steamed buns distributed have become a bit throat-irritating to eat, as if they were mixed with bean dregs.

So Chen Cong prepared a pancake made of a mixture of corn flour and white flour for Gu Kai. Of course, there was more white flour, but at least it wouldn't look too conspicuous.

As for the food, they only gave us a bag of vacuum-packed salted vegetables.

When packing these things for her husband, Chen Cong felt a little distressed and couldn't help but keep saying, "I'll give you something delicious to eat when I get home tonight. I still have a lot of fried chicken! I also have your favorite Big Mac."

Seeing his wife like this, Gu Kai felt soft in his heart.

He reached out and touched Shen Cong's head, and said gently: "This is already very good."

Although he didn't say much, he was speaking from his heart.

Gu Kai knew very well that because of his wife, their family's life was much better than that of others.

Gu Kai left home before dawn.

He, Master Zhu and another electrician in the community, Master Xu, agreed to meet at the gate at five in the morning.

In order to get to the passage early to prevent others from taking their place.

After seeing Gu Kai off, Chen Cong no longer felt sleepy. She tidied up the room a little and prepared to go out for a walk.

Before he even reached the door, Chen Xi chased him out, yawning: "Where are you going?"

Chen Cong raised his chin towards the outside and said, "Go around the crack and see if there is any waste to pick up."

"I'll go with you." Chen Xi rubbed his eyes and picked up a woven bag from the table in the backyard.

Chen Xi didn't stop him.

The crack was right in front of their house, just a few steps from the back door.

When we first saw this deep pit, everyone felt a chill in their hearts, but as we passed by here every day, we gradually got used to it.

Before this, there were some brave people who dared to team up with each other, pulling each other with ropes and slowly going down into the pit.

Although it is impossible to go down to the bottom of the pit, not all of the collapsed houses fell to the bottom. Some of them were sunk into the soil layer, which is equivalent to being stuck in the middle of the crack, or even higher up.

What everyone wants to take are the usable things in the houses.

There are fewer people coming here recently because the things that are relatively easy to get have almost all been taken.

It's too dangerous to go any further, and the waste isn't worth risking one's life for.

Chen Cong came to take a look today, not to look for any waste. She just got up too early and came out for a walk. If she came across anything usable, she would pick it up.

After all, who would complain about having too much something that can be exchanged for money?

The two sisters walked slowly along the crack.

Not far away, I saw Sun Qing bending over and picking up something from the side of the crack.

They looked closer and saw that she was using a pair of gardening shears to pick out some scrap metal that was stuck in the soil.

The two of them greeted her and left.

Because they didn't want to meet too many neighbors, the two people walked along the crack in the west direction.

The front end here is close to the wall connected to the high-rise buildings. It is basically a dead end and usually not many people walk here.

The two of them walked and chatted casually. If they saw any small pieces of wood or thin iron rods on the road, they would pick them up and put them in the woven bag.

After walking for half an hour, I managed to pick up half a bag.

"The sun is out, let's go back. There's nothing to pick up here. If you really want to pick up something, we can go out for a walk later." Chen Cong said to his sister.

Chen Xi agreed to go back with her sister.

There were not many people on the road when we came, but when we went back, it was already dawn and more and more people came.

The two sisters of the Shen family seldom go out, and have never gone to the high-rise buildings with everyone to pick up garbage, so they are not familiar with their neighbors.

But many people in the community know them.

Along the way, someone would greet them and say a few words from time to time.

At the beginning, Chen Cong didn't pay attention, but the further he walked, the more frightened he became.

By the time she reached the door of her house, she was no longer able to care about anything else and left her sister behind and walked quickly into the house.

I went straight to the third floor and found Mr. Gu.

"Dad, have you been out these days? Why do I feel like so many people in our neighborhood are sick?"
