Su Le said to Xu Hu, "Brother Hu, take a few people and move the fireworks out of the warehouse. Let's set off the fireworks!"
Everyone was excited. They had never touched fireworks or firecrackers before, so they could only watch others play with them. Even though they were in their teens and twenties, they still had a strong desire for fireworks and firecrackers.
Everyone helped to move the things. Soon everything was moved out. Su Le said to them, "Those who have big things should be big first. It will be too late to move them out later."
Everyone placed ten large fireworks about a meter from the door in the yard. Everyone else retreated under the eaves. Ten people, holding a box of matches, looked at each other, lit them up together, and quickly ran under the eaves.
Everyone looked up at the dazzling fireworks, bang bang bang. It lit up the entire night sky and also lit up everyone's heart.
After the fireworks ended, everyone picked out their favorite firecrackers. Some took a bottle of wine and threw a firecracker into it. With a bang, the bottle fell to the ground, shattered, and then buried in the soil and exploded. Some people also played with fireworks.
Su Le took a few firework sticks and gave them to Xia Le, Chen Yao, and Xu Jiaojiao.
And over there, they were actually using firecrackers to fight. Su Xiao, Su Bei, and Sunan brought a few people, and Xu Hu brought a few people. Su Fugui immediately cheered for Xu Hu and his men. Xu Sheng saw that he was definitely on his son-in-law's side, and his voice became louder.
The battle eventually turned into a competition between Su Fugui and Xu Sheng.
Fireworks rang out from every household, and Xu Hu also began to light his own firecrackers. The battle ended at that moment.
Everyone returned to their rooms to rest, feeling unsatisfied, and ten people went to rest next door.
Li Zichen and Su Xiao woke up at the appointed time according to their biological clocks. The first thing they did was kiss their wives on the forehead, tiptoe out of the room, and drive away in a military vehicle.
Su Bei and Sunan taught them martial arts in the morning, and then taught them to read and write. Su Fugui's eldest and second brothers had gone to the countryside, so he couldn't pay New Year's greetings. Xu Sheng and Xia Le took Xu Jiaojiao to visit relatives.
People study in the morning, play with firecrackers in the afternoon, and go shopping. There are very few shops open on the street.
The three-day holiday ended in northern and southern Jiangsu. They said goodbye to Su Fugui and Chen Yao and returned to the army. Su Le said to everyone, "The college entrance exam will probably resume next year. I hope all of you will get into college, learn more, make more friends, broaden your horizons, and find your future career path. You'll be back to work tomorrow and living next door. You can come over to study with Xu Hu and the others at night."
"Okay!" No one doubted what Su Le said.
Everyone stopped playing and went back to study.
Su Le handed them all the test papers and other materials. He told them to follow the instructions. They would take the test themselves according to their learning level and then hand it in to Su Le and Su Fugui for review. Su Le gave Su Fugui a copy of all the answers.
Everyone is very conscientious. They don't look at books during exams. Those who are not good at learning can take out books and read at any time when the store is not busy. They absorb knowledge like sponges.
After Xu Jiaojiao came back from paying New Year's greetings, Su Le took her and Xu Hu, prepared some gifts, and went to Jiang Liang's house.
As the seventh day of the Lunar New Year comes to an end, the streets gradually become more crowded. People who are going home for the Lunar New Year also gradually arrive.
Six of them came with their children, and Xu Hu signed the contracts with them.
We waited a few days until everyone was in place. There were now seven sixteen-year-olds.
That day, Su Le, Xu Jiaojiao, Xu Hu, and Jiang Liang gathered at the appointed breakfast spot. The sketches they had drawn were handed to Jiang Liang, who immediately organized his own people to come and start the renovations.
The renovation took five days to complete. Su Le asked Xu Hu, Li Xian, Zhang Jing, Zhang Yi, and Zhang Liang to move all the kitchen appliances and install them in place.
Seven children were also assigned to this place. "Zhang Liang, Zhang Yi, you have to take care of at least two of these seven children before you can take turns to rest. Also, the embroidery workshop still has to continue cooking. Find a child to deliver it after finishing here. You should also deliver it to the supply and marketing cooperative. You know where the clothing store and the milk tea shop are, so you should also deliver them. There are five bicycles at the door, and I've put insulated boxes on the back seats. You can do takeout, understand? You can deliver to the working people's locations. The delivery fee is 5 cents, which includes the cost of the takeout box." Su Le said to Zhang Liang and Zhang Yi.
Zhang Liang nodded. "I understand."
Su Le continued, "Zhang Liang, you're the team leader now. Your current salary is still 45, the same as Yu Jie and the others. Zhang Yi gets 45. The store's reserve fund is 1,000, and you're responsible for making change. At the end of each day, take your cash box to Xu Changsheng and Xu Hu and give them the extra money and bills. If you need to purchase goods, go directly to the supply and marketing cooperative and ask Xu Changsheng for them."
Zhang Liang nodded. "I won't let Boss Su down."
Everything in the store was ready and nine people started cleaning.
Su Le and the other three left. Jiang Liang was going back to his shop and waved goodbye to them.
Su Le said to Xu Hu, "Yu Jie and the other four plus Zhang Liang are all 45. Bonuses will be given for good performance."
Xu Hu nodded and said, "I'll tell them when we reconcile the accounts tonight."
Su Le thought for a moment, "I have other arrangements for Zhang Fei and the others. Remember to urge them to graduate from junior high school as soon as possible."
Xu Hu nodded. He had just finished his junior high school graduation exam. Next up was studying high school knowledge.
Xu Jiaojiao asked, "Will the college entrance examination really be resumed?"
Su Le nodded, "It should be next year."
Xu Jiaojiao believed what Su Le said, but it did not affect her curiosity. "Le Le, how did you know?"
Su Le smiled and said, "Intuition!"
Xu Jiaojiao held her forehead speechlessly, "Okay, I'll go check out the milk tea shop, you guys go back."
