Chapter 60
The next day, after cleaning the room, Su Yuanzheng took his two children to the flea market because there were no extra beds at home.
Nowadays, many employees of companies, after applying for company housing, buy new furniture so that it can be called a new home.
The old ones are sold to people who specialize in collecting second-hand goods. The quality of solid wood furniture is very durable. The people who collect them bring them back and polish them a little, and the resulting ones are almost as good as new.
Su Yuanzheng was really willing to spend money on his children. He chose a dressing table, a large wardrobe and a large desk for Su Miao, and also bought a bed and a wardrobe for Su Yu's room.
The big wardrobe in his room was moved away when they divorced, so he now used the small wardrobe that Su Miao's grandmother used. He thought it was okay and didn't think about buying himself a new one.
Su Miao knew that he wouldn't buy one for herself, so she said, "Thank you, Dad, for buying me a new wardrobe. Then I'll move the small one in my room over there and put it next to Dad's."
Su Yuanzheng laughed and said, "With these two small wardrobes put together, Dad will have a big wardrobe too!"
Today is the fourth day of the New Year. After tidying up his room, Su Yu went back to the village. First, he had to inform his family about his future job at his uncle's house, and second, he had to pick up his luggage.
Su Miao's second uncle and second aunt kept nagging him all night, telling him to be diligent and attentive in his work and not to cause trouble for his tenth uncle.
The next day, as soon as his son finished breakfast, his uncle threw his luggage bag at him and urged him to go out.
"Isn't your Tenth Uncle going to open his stall tomorrow? Hurry up and see what he needs to prepare. I'll be bringing eggs and firewood up in a couple of days. If you tell on me about it, I'll twist your ears."
"bump!"
The door closed in front of Su Yu. He touched his nose which was almost hit, turned around and walked towards the county.
Su Miao felt that inviting Su Yu to help at home was the best thing he had done during this period of time.
She gets up as early as a chicken every day, cleans the backyard, empties the toilet, washes the vegetables, follows Su Yuanzheng to go shopping, washes pig offal, chops firewood, sets up the stall, and rushes to wash the pots and dishes.
Even so, he still felt that the work was too easy and it was simply a blessing. He carried a hoe and went to the vegetable garden to work, doubling the size of the garden.
Even Su Yuanzheng, who prided himself on being in his prime, couldn't help but sigh, "I can't deny my age anymore. I can't compare to a 20-year-old boy."
The Su family's output increased, but the workload allocated to each person decreased, giving them more leisure time.
In his spare time, Su Yuanzheng reads, studies and watches TV. On weekends, he takes his two children to the square park, watch performances and movies. He lives a fulfilling life.
In the blink of an eye, the winter vacation is over and Su Miao is about to return to school. This is the last semester of elementary school, and the teachers have accelerated the teaching pace because they have to conduct a comprehensive review two months before the entrance examination.
To be on the safe side, Teacher Meng gave Su Miao more test papers, but Su Miao was able to finish them all within the class time.
The days passed slowly, and by the end of April, the temperature had risen and everyone had changed into short sleeves. Many employees of the sugar factory came to Su Yuanzheng and said, "Quickly set up the self-service porridge, as they hadn't eaten it for a long time and missed it very much."
After evaluating the workload, Su Yuanzheng and Su Yu were able to handle it.
But if we want to add self-service porridge, the stoves will not be enough and the truck will have to make two trips every day.
Su Miao waved his hand and decided to build a new stove next to the existing stove and buy an extra tricycle. Now they can earn more than 80 yuan a day. If they reopen the self-service porridge restaurant, they can earn more than 100 yuan a day!
The cost of a few hundred yuan can be earned back in a few days.
The Su family's business outside the factory was booming, and they had no idea that the factory was undergoing major personnel changes.
It was not until that day when Su Yuan was about to go find Director Wang to renew his contract and couldn't find him that he realized that Uncle Wang hadn't been guarding the gate for a week.
During dinner, he told Su Miao about the incident: "Uncle Wang hasn't been here for a week. Today, I went to the logistics department to look for Director Wang, and the clerk said he had been transferred."
Su Miao asked: "Have we renewed our lease?"
"Not yet. They said the new director of logistics hasn't arrived yet, so they can't confirm it. They'll return the deposit to us when the lease expires."
"Dad, I think this stall may not be rentable in the future."
Su Yu said, "Miao Miao, do you think that changing the leader is like changing the world?"
"That's right. This stall already has a lot of people jealous. If someone uses some connections before the new director takes office, it's not impossible for them to replace us."
Su Yu said anxiously: "Uncle, Miaomiao, how about we also try to find some connections?"
Su Miao shook her head. "Let's not even mention that we don't know who the new director is yet. Judging from the attitudes of several of the staff members today, they must have received the news long ago that they won't be renewing our lease. Otherwise, even if the director hasn't arrived, can't the deputy director sign? It still needs to be stamped by the factory director, so it doesn't matter who's in charge."
"This...what should I do?"
"Dad, Brother Yu, don't worry, just go to the stall as usual. I'll go with you tomorrow, the weekend."
Su Yuanzheng said calmly, "It's okay even if we can't rent a place. Just find a place to stay for now. You have an exam at the end of the month, so don't be distracted. After the exam, we'll go to Yongcheng."
After listening to Su Yuanzheng's words, Su Yu opened his mouth to ask something, but in the end he didn't say anything.
The next day, when setting up the stall, Su Miao grabbed the chubby boy who came to pack the braised food and pulled him aside.
"Little Fatty, you're so mean. You didn't even inform me about such a big thing first."
The fat boy understood what she was saying immediately, looked to the side and pulled her to a more secluded place.
"It's not that I didn't mean to tell you. This personnel transfer came very suddenly. It's coming today and will take effect tomorrow. I only found out about it a few days ago. I wanted to wait until you came over this weekend to tell you!"
Su Miao was very curious about this urgent personnel transfer: "So... was Director Wang promoted or transferred laterally? Even Uncle Wang was transferred."
"Oh my! Not only Director Wang, but my uncle has also been transferred!"
"Ah? The factory director has also been transferred? That means things have really changed! Tell me more about it, I'm so curious!" Su Miao pricked up his gossipy ears.
The fat guy organized his words and said, "Director Wang retired internally. I don't know the specific reason, but my uncle received the transfer order a week ago. The sugar factory in the neighboring county has been running a deficit, and the higher-ups asked my uncle to go there to rectify it."
"Wow! This airborne job is not easy to do. If you touch someone else's cake, you will have to chew the hard bones yourself."
The fat boy slapped his thigh and said, "That's right! My aunt is so anxious that her mouth is foaming! But we have to obey the decision made by the higher-ups!"
"Do you know the new factory manager and director? My dad wanted to renew the lease yesterday, but it sounds like it might not be going well."
"A new emperor brings new power. If they give you the land to rent, then rent it. If they don't, then move to another place. Anyway, you won't have to worry about selling food. Many factories are eager for you to open up shop outside."
"Yeah, I know. By the way, Brother Xiaopang, I have something to tell you. I'm about to enter junior high school, and then I might go to Yongcheng. My dad will go with me, and we won't be setting up a stall in Ning County anymore."
Unexpectedly, the fat guy didn't cry out in anger. Instead, he said calmly, "That's great! There are more business opportunities in big cities."
Su Miao said curiously, "I thought you would be sad because you couldn't eat my food, but it seems not."
"Hehehe! I can eat it! How could I not eat it? You said my uncle is no longer the factory director here, so why am I still staying here? I have no one to rely on, so I can't be lazy. I'm going to my uncle's place in Yongcheng, and then I'll come to your house to eat!"
Su Miao gave him a thumbs-up: "Little Fatty, this is a wealthy family! They are all outstanding people! You must come when the time comes!"
