After buying the courtyard house, Shen Xiaobei still had a little less than two thousand yuan.
This is still a huge sum of money for ordinary people, but it is not much for her.
This time, precisely because she didn't have enough money, she could only afford a small courtyard house with one entrance. If she wanted to buy a medium or large courtyard house with two or three entrances, the money she had was far from enough.
She is not greedy, she just wants more and bigger things.
However, this experience of buying a courtyard house really made her realize that if one does not have enough disposable money, one’s life choices will be greatly limited.
Just like in modern society before she traveled through time, why were so many people working hard to make money every day?
Is it really because of simple love and greed for money?
Not at all!
It is simply because most people have realized that by earning more money, they and their families will have more choices in terms of food, clothing, housing, transportation, children's education, etc., and they can live with more dignity.
Therefore, after returning to the educated youth site, Shen Xiaobei started to make money in addition to working at the commune.
Gao Hongmian's clothing stall does not do good business all year round.
However, Fan Huifang's steamed bun shop is visited by people all day long.
Seeing this, Shen Xiaobei changed his strategy in time and prepared to take a gamble and turn the bicycle into a motorcycle.
During the three months before the wedding, I started making cold dishes again and selling them almost twice as much every day as before.
She made them every morning at the educated youth center and then sent them to Fan Huifang's bun and steamed bun shop, asking her to help sell them. She was paid a fixed rent of 100 yuan a month plus the cost of helping with sales.
One hundred yuan a month in rent plus salary was very high. Fan Huifang was unwilling to charge such a high fee, but Shen Xiaobei insisted.
Moreover, the cold dishes she makes are really delicious and sell well.
Fan Huifang did not refuse later because she received so much money from Shen Xiaobei in a month. She worked harder to help her sell cold dishes every day than to sell her own buns.
After increasing his own money-making power, Shen Xiaobei did not forget to continue teaching Shen Mingzhu and Ke Xiaoli how to make clothes every day.
After half a year of study, Shen Mingzhu can make basic styles of clothes.
However, it is still quite difficult for her to draw the designs and design new styles of clothing by herself.
After all, she had been staying in the small county town of her hometown and her experience was limited.
Shen Xiaobei was not anxious about Shen Mingzhu. She knew that there was no rush, so she just told her to lay a good foundation first.
Then, she began to help her plan to take orders for custom-made clothes in the fifth production team, including clothes for men, women, young and old.
Because Shen Xiaobei has always been popular in the fifth production team, many people know that she bought a sewing machine a long time ago and knows some sewing skills. Some of the clothes she usually wears are also made by herself.
So as soon as she started promoting this area, women soon came to her to inquire about custom-made clothes.
After receiving the order, she let Shen Mingzhu do it and gave her all the money she earned.
Before getting married and leaving the educated youth camp, he had opened up a small way for the original owner's sister to make money in the production team, so that she could then go with Duan Xichuan to join the army without any worries.
In July, Duan Xichuan completed his further studies at the Command Academy in Beijing and immediately returned to the army.
After completing the marriage application report in the army, he returned to the Heishui Brigade in mid-August and began to plan his wedding with Shen Xiaobei with his family.
After he came back, Shen Xiaobei also resigned from the commune.
Secretary Wu values talents and is reluctant to let her leave.
Shen Xiaobei took the opportunity to recommend Deng Yuliang to him, saying that he was full of knowledge, loved reading, loved writing poetry, had beautiful handwriting, and had a strong team spirit, so he should be very suitable for propaganda work in the commune.
Secretary Wu remembered that Deng Yuliang was the educated youth from the production team who won first place in the dragon boat race two years ago, and he had a good impression of him.
After Shen Xiaobei's praise, he immediately agreed to let Deng Yuliang come over for a talk.
As a result, it was naturally agreed upon after just one discussion.
Moreover, Deng Yuliang came to work full-time, which means that he no longer needed to rely on hard labor in the production team to earn work points to survive.
A knowledgeable person who can finally make a living by relying on his knowledge can be said to have learned something worthwhile.
Deng Yuliang and Liu Juan are two very grateful people. In order to thank Shen Xiaobei for the recommendation, they even invited her to his home for a sumptuous thank-you dinner.
After quitting his job at the commune, Shen Xiaobei also stopped setting up the cold vegetable stall at Fan Huifang's place.
She taught Fan Huifang the secret of making cold dishes without reservation, and told her that if she wanted to make them in the future, she could make them and sell them.
Anyway, her family has a storefront in the commune, so selling more things is just a matter of course, it just requires a little more effort.
Shen Xiaobei did her best to help the several educated youth friends she met when she went to the Baiju Brigade before getting married. She helped these friends and the original owner's sister in every way she could.
The only person she wanted to help but couldn't was Mu Fangting.
It has been more than half a year since Mu Fangting and Du Wenli were caught cheating by Kong Wanwan, but she has not yet fully recovered from the shadow of this incident because she still sees Du Wenli every day and hears Kong Wanwan's scolding every day.
Shen Xiaobei thought that perhaps only after leaving the Baiju Brigade and returning to her hometown in the provincial capital could she truly be reborn.
But this day may take another three or four years to come. For Mu Fangting, this must be a very long and painful time.
She paid such a heavy price for a wrong relationship, which was a huge loss for her!
Compared to Mu Fangting, who lived across the wall from her and was in a miserable state, Shen Xiaobei felt that she was so happy and lucky that it seemed like she was dreaming. Her wedding with Duan Xichuan had been scheduled for August 18th.
Early in the morning of August 16, Duan Xichuan suddenly came to see her.
As soon as he arrived, he said straight to the point with a bright face: "Girl, pack up, we will leave for your house right away."
"ah?"
"No, hurry up and pack up, go to your house and pick up your parents and brother to attend our wedding the day after tomorrow!"
"You're so busy, but you still want to pick them up from my house?"
"Fool, what are you talking about? Isn't picking them up part of my job? Stop wasting time, we have to catch the bus!"
When Kong Wanwan and Fan Huifang got married, and when Deng Yuliang got married, their parents and family members did not come to this rural place to attend their wedding banquets.
Shen Xiaobei hadn't made any plans at all. The original owner's family would come over, and she didn't think they would be willing to come.
But unexpectedly, after arriving home, as soon as Duan Xichuan explained his purpose, Xu Yongzhi and Shen Chongshan did not show any reluctance, and immediately agreed to set off with them early the next morning.
The family agreed to attend the wedding, so Shen Xiaobei and Duan Xichuan naturally stayed at home that day.
In the evening, after having dinner at home, the two took Shen Mingliang, the big light bulb, and took a warm walk on the streets of the original owner's hometown, a small county town, for their last walk before their marriage.
