Du Chen looked helplessly at Liu Yi following him. This kid didn't go home after school every day, but stayed in the store for a while, and his parents didn't say anything about it.
Liu Yi didn't say anything, just followed behind with a silly smile. Why go home? What's fun at home? I still have to do my homework. Anyway, my parents don't object to me playing with Du Chen.
"Fourth Aunt, are you coming? When will you be here?"
As soon as he entered the store, Du Chen saw his fourth aunt standing behind the counter and asked in surprise.
"I came here this morning. Chenchen, did you just get out of school? Wash your hands and get ready for dinner. Your mom is inside. Is that your classmate behind you?"
Du Chen's fourth aunt also said to Du Chen happily. After all, the big stone in her heart has been lifted off the ground, so her mood is even better.
"Um, Aunt Four, this is my classmate Liu Yi. Don't worry, I'll sell some goods first. I'll eat after I'm done with my work every day."
Du Chen also introduced Liu Yi to Fourth Aunt.
"Hello, Fourth Auntie!"
Liu Yi has a high emotional intelligence and is so sweet that he calls her Fourth Aunt directly. Otherwise, Du Chen's mom and dad would really like this chubby boy.
"Hello Liu Yi, come play with Du Chen."
Looking at the sensible Liu Yi, Fourth Aunt also smiled brightly.
"Chenchen, please help Fourth Aunt later. Fourth Aunt has never sold anything before, and I don't know if she can do it."
Ren Suping was still a little worried, so she wanted Du Chen to help.
"Aunt Si, don't worry, it's very simple. I'll help you. You'll get it after just one look."
It’s no wonder that Liu Yi is very good at handling things. Before Du Chen could say anything, Liu Yi spoke first.
"Thank you, Liu Yi. Come on, you've been studying all morning, have a drink of water."
As she spoke, Ren Suping handed Liu Yi a glass of boiled water. Du Chen curled his lips. This treacherous Liu Yi, who didn't even have water to drink himself, drank it first.
"Thank you, Fourth Auntie. I'm thirsty too."
Liu Yi gave Ren Suping another big smile.
"That's enough, Liu Yi. That's enough. Your face is wrinkled from laughing."
Du Chen walked up to Liu Yi and whispered something.
"What's the matter, Du Chen? I don't understand what you mean."
Liu Yi looked confused and pretended to be stupid.
"snort……"
Du Chen was frustrated and ignored Liu Yi.
Liu Yi smiled secretly, finally winning back a game.
At this time, more and more students came after school, and Du Chen had no time to play with Liu Yi, as they were both busy selling goods.
Du Chen works on his own, while Liu Yi helps Ren Suping sell goods.
After finishing the elementary school class, the junior high school class was over soon. Ren Suping became more and more proficient in her work. Just like her sister said, she just had to hand over the items and remember the prices. There was no need to sell or introduce anything. The children made their own choices.
"Fourth Aunt, are you here?"
At this time, Du Bin also happened to enter the store and saw Fourth Aunt, Du Chen and Liu Yi busy at the counter.
There were many people in the store, and Ren Suping didn't have time to talk to Du Bin. Du Bin hurried into the counter to help.
When Liu Yi saw Du Bin coming back, he knew it was time for him to go home. He said hello to a few people and hurried home.
Time passed quickly in the busyness, and soon the students finally left. The peak period at noon was over.
Comrade Lao Du was busy at work today, so when he left this morning, he said he wouldn't be back until lunch. So, the Du Chen brothers, along with Du Chen's mother and sister, had lunch together.
"Little sister, how is it? Are you used to it?"
While eating, Du Chen's mother asked Ren Suping.
"Sister, that's OK. I just need to remember the prices and don't worry about anything else."
Ren Suping answered happily.
"That's fine. Are you going home today?"
"I thought about going back, telling Xiao Li, and then coming over together."
"Aunt Si, please stay here. Sunday is almost here. Let my dad drive you back and bring back everything you need. Otherwise, it will be inconvenient for you to come over."
Du Chen interrupted at this time.
"Ah, your fourth uncle doesn't know yet, so I have to tell your uncle. Besides, there's no room for him at home."
Ren Suping also thought it made sense, but what she said was also true.
"It's okay, little sister. Aren't the people from your village selling vegetables in the market? Let's go over there this afternoon and tell them. Have them tell Xiao Li a message. You can stay at the hotel where your brother-in-law is staying tonight."
Du Chen's mother gave a direct suggestion.
"Isn't it bad to let my brother-in-law live here?"
"That's all right. There's food and drink, and you'll still be staying here. He'll only be here for two or three days."
"Well, then, okay, sister."
After hesitating for a long time, Ren Suping finally agreed to her sister's suggestion.
…
At this time, Comrade Lao Du was in the section chief's office.
"Mi Duan, please take a look. This is the contract report I submitted. Please see if it is suitable."
After a conversation with his wife yesterday, Comrade Lao Du realized that he had to contract the repair shop as soon as possible because time waits for no one.
Since the decision to contract the repair shop has been made, it is better to do it sooner rather than later. After considering many factors, Comrade Lao Du came to the unit today and reported directly, ready to prepare all these matters today.
Mi Duan carefully looked at the report submitted by Comrade Lao Du, found no problems, and looked up at Comrade Lao Du and said.
"Old Du, I've taken a look and there's nothing wrong. We're having a section committee meeting this afternoon, so I'll just bring it up at the meeting. I've already approved it from everyone else, so it's just a formality. Don't worry."
"Thank you! Mi Duan, I'd like to ask, how much is the annual contract fee?"
"I've thought about it and discussed it with the secretary. We've tentatively decided on two thousand a year. What do you think? The price will be determined by market conditions in the future."
"At first, Deputy Director Zhang and Secretary Wang agreed on 4,800 yuan, but I rejected it. It's just a useless workshop in the unit, with only a few tools at most. It's not appropriate to ask for such a high price."
"Besides, we didn't contract it out just to earn a small fee. We did it to improve our repair efficiency. They finally agreed to two thousand a year. Go visit them when you have time, understand?"
Mi Duan said a lot, but he just kept it brief.
Lao Du thought about it for a moment and agreed immediately. To put it bluntly, this was just the section chief doing some work in the middle, and the contract fee was really not much.
Moreover, I don't have to apply for unpaid leave. A monthly salary of more than 500 yuan, or 2,000 yuan a year is really nothing.
As for what Mi Duan said later, Comrade Lao Du also understood that he had to thank Deputy Duan Zhang and Secretary Wang. After all, together with Mi Duan, these three people were the three most powerful people in the unit.
If we take good care of these three people, it will be convenient to do anything in the future.
After Comrade Lao Du finished his report, he left the section chief's office directly, preparing to discuss the contracted matters with his family when he returned home in the evening.
As for thanking those people, I'll wait until I get the contract for the repair shop. There's no rush.
