This was the first time that Cheng Yunan came to see the house. She had to admit, no wonder Zhuang Xiangnan wanted to use this place as a small processing plant, the house was really not small.
There are ten houses of different sizes in the two rows on the left and right. There are three master bedrooms, and next to them are the mountain guest rooms. There is also a kitchen and a small storage room on the right, and two houses connected to the backyard. The most important thing is a backyard.
The whole yard is about 300 square meters, and there is a vegetable patch in the backyard.
Lu Zhenxing spent three days cleaning up the house, and finally everything was in order.
The vegetable garden was perfect for growing vegetables, and she used them to make braised dishes.
With so many empty houses, it would be suitable to leave them to grandpa and his family to live in temporarily.
"Brother Zhenxing, my grandpa has injured his leg. I'm afraid he will have to stay here for a while. Please go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy him some daily necessities, such as washbasins, rice bowls, chopsticks, kettles, soap, and towels.
Oh, buy some food and vegetables. Oh, and two sets of men's clothes, according to my second brother's body shape.
Buy some more meat and bones..." Cheng Yunan gave all the instructions before handing over the money and the receipt.
Lu Zhenxing asked with concern: "Is Master Ma okay? Why is he in the hospital?"
"It's nothing, I just hurt my leg and I'm going to have a minor operation." Cheng Yunan explained.
Lu Zhenxing said: "Then I will go shopping first."
"Yeah, okay!"
After Cheng Yunan explained all this, he quickly went to the state-owned hotel, bought some porridge, two dishes, and a dozen meat dumplings, and then hurried back to the hospital.
When Cheng Yunan came over, the old man had just woken up.
"Nannan is back? It's just right. Your grandpa just woke up. The doctor has come to see him and said that your grandpa's operation was very successful. As long as he is well taken care of, he will have no problem walking in the future." There was joy in her voice.
As for the doctor's advice not to do heavy work, Ma Kui would naturally follow the doctor's advice.
"Well, Mom, this is the porridge I bought for Grandpa. Please feed him some first!"
Cheng Yunan continued, "Uncle, cousin, you must be hungry after waiting for so long. Come and eat something!"
"By the way, Mom, my uncle and cousin will take turns to look after Grandpa at night. I have found a place for him to stay elsewhere and have arranged for his food and accommodation. My cousin will come with me to take a look later."
"This... this is too troublesome. We can just spend one night in the hospital. The landlords won't be too particular." Ma Chengdong said a little awkwardly.
He just saw the bill. He spent two hundred and thirty-eight yuan in just one day.
Now I have to buy food and arrange accommodation, which costs me a lot. I am really heartbroken.
Anyway, he is in good health and is not afraid of sleeping in the corridor. It would be a waste of money if he doesn't arrange a special place for him.
"How can that be possible!" Cheng Yunan continued, "Cousin, they say it takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone, and grandpa is so old, I'm afraid he will need to stay in the hospital for a while, so are you all going to sleep outside?
It's considered post-hospital treatment. Majia Village is too far from the town. I have to go to the town to work every day, and it's not convenient to go back and forth.
So, I will find a place for you to stay temporarily while you wait for your grandfather to go to the hospital. You can recuperate for another month. When you are well again, I will send you back to the village."
Ma Chengdong didn't expect Cheng Yunan to be so thoughtful.
"Cousin, I don't know how to thank you..."
That day, his cousin and his sister-in-law ran around for him, paid the money, and arranged a place for him to stay. He really had no way to repay them.
"My cousin, don't be so polite. I'm not helping you for nothing!" Cheng Yunan said.
Ma Chengdong immediately said, "Cousin, feel free to ask for help if it's helpful to me. As long as I can do it, I will help you, even if it means going through great difficulties."
"I won't go on the sword mountain, but I do have a job here and would like to ask my cousin for help." Cheng Yunan continued:
"My mother didn't have time to tell you, so I'll tell you first.
We are going to open a small food processing factory in our town and need a few temporary workers. I heard from my mother that my uncle and cousin can make tofu and dried tofu, right? "
"Yes, I do. I wouldn't say that the tofu my father makes is famous throughout the town, but it is famous in the surrounding villages. In the past, as long as it was tofu made by him, people in the village would scramble to exchange it for it."
However, in recent years, most families in the village have been unable to afford to cook, so fewer people are willing to exchange tofu. Occasionally, they will make a plate, keep half of it as tofu, and make the remaining half into dried tofu.
"Well, the factory wants to make a batch of salted tofu, so I want my uncle and cousin to come over to help. The salary is 25 yuan a month. If the factory is profitable in the future, we will increase various benefits. I wonder if my cousin is willing?"
"What?! You want me to be a temporary worker? And I'll be paid 25 yuan as a salary?" Ma Chengdong felt that he must have heard it.
How come I dreamed of such a good thing during the day!
He raised his hand and patted himself on the head twice.
Seeing his movements, Cheng Yunan wanted to laugh.
"Yes, not only you, but also Uncle 꺶 can stay if he is willing. This way, he can take turns with you to accompany you in the hospital, and it won't affect your earnings. You can also live here in the future. There are two days off a month, so you can go back to the village. If cousin 꺶 is not sure, you can think about it carefully."
Ma Chengdong immediately said anxiously: "No, I don't want to. I am willing, I am very willing, and my dad is definitely willing too."
I pinched myself hard. Hiss! It hurts!
He grinned, and the curve of his mouth corners became wider and wider. It was not a dream.
If he wasn't afraid of scaring Cheng Yunan, he would have laughed up to the sky.
At this moment he was still dazed, like a drunk new aunt.
He laughed twice, then twice again, but the corners of his mouth never fell.
I didn’t expect that!
A pie really fell from the sky and hit him on the head with a "bang".
good!
very nice!
Originally, they were about to break down due to the huge debt they incurred from operating on their grandfather, but now they have found a way out.
Both father and son have income, and can earn 50 yuan a month. After deducting 10 yuan for food, they can have 40 yuan left a month. If they have 300 yuan, it will take less than eight months to pay off the debt.
With four months left, they can still save some money.
Ouch!
Suddenly I felt the burden on my shoulders lighten, and there was hope.
"When do we start making it? We have all the utensils for making tofu at home, so we can use them. By the way, where are the soybeans? Have you bought them? Or..."
After getting excited, he continued, "My cousin, can you really make the decision on this matter?"
It's not that he wants to be suspicious, but mainly because his cousins have only been in Hongfeng County for a short time. Even if they are really capable, they are at most a small clerk. How can they arrange temporary work for their family members at will? So...
Cheng Yunan was not annoyed, as a normal person would think the same way as Ma Chengdong.
But she is not a normal person, so naturally she cannot be judged by normal people's thinking.
"Don't worry, cousin. President Zhuang has appointed me as the director of this food processing plant, so it will be no problem to arrange a few trusted people.
But I have to say this first, food must be clean and tidy, there can't be any mistakes, so if there is a problem, I will be ruthless! Don't think I am ruthless when the time comes, or you will not even be able to be a relative in the end."
"No, no, definitely not."
Oh my god, my cousin is actually the factory manager!
Factory director! In his life, the highest-ranking officials he had ever seen were secretaries and village chiefs. He never expected that his cousin was actually the director of a factory, and was appointed by the president himself!
Tsk tsk, this is incredible, his cousin is really capable, he actually married an equally capable cousin and sister. Their Ma family must be very proud of their ancestors before they can enjoy the good life.
