120 Engineering Package
When the two sisters walked near Uncle Zheng's house, they smelled a strong bean aroma.
Gao Qingya took a few quick steps in surprise, then jumped and skipped into the yard. Seeing the boxes of tofu pressed down by chopping boards, she immediately turned around and said:
"Sister, my aunt has made tofu!" We have tofu pudding to eat!
Hearing the noise, Zheng Dasao and Zheng Ersao turned around and saw that it was Gao Qingya. They screamed "Ouch" exaggeratedly.
"Ya'er, did you come here just because you smelled the scent?" Zheng Ersao joked.
Gao Qingya chuckled and pointed outside, "My eldest sister and I came here together."
The two old houses of brothers Zheng Dong and Zheng Bei are next to each other. The two brothers share a courtyard with a hollow low wall in the middle. The two sisters-in-law have a good relationship and it is no different for them to live together.
Gao Qinghe walked into Zheng Dong's uncle's house, "Aunt, Second Aunt, they're busy."
My eldest aunt was cooking tofu pudding in front of the big stove, and my second aunt was grinding beans in the yard.
The milky white liquid flowed down the groove and soon filled half a bucket.
The whole yard is filled with the aroma of beans.
Mrs. Zheng exclaimed in surprise, "You've arrived just in time! The tofu pudding is out! Come quickly and get a bowl for everyone! It tastes the best right out of the pot!"
Gao Qingya was not polite. She took a bowl from the cupboard and served one to herself and her sister.
Mrs. Zheng reminded: "The sugar is on the top of the counter."
Gao Qinghe took a stool and sat down next to Zheng Ersao. He took the hot tofu pudding from his sister and asked curiously:
"How do you make so much tofu? Where are Maomao and the others?"
Zheng Ersao has two sons and one daughter. The eldest and second are boys, and the youngest is a daughter. All three children are younger than Gao Qingmiao.
Maomao is the youngest son and is at the most mischievous age. The family cannot keep him under control.
Zheng Ersao said angrily, "He ate a few mouthfuls of cold rice at noon and then followed his brother up the mountain."
"Your second uncle hasn't been home for a while, so he and his daughter went out fishing together."
She glanced at Mrs. Zheng and said, "Your sister Lanhua is getting married to a neighbor's family and they are going to hold a wedding. They know your aunt is good at making tofu, so they asked your aunt to help make tofu. As a favor, they brought the beans and we helped make ten boards."
It's also the slack season now, otherwise I wouldn't want to do it.
My uncle has a daughter and a son. The daughter is a few months older than Gao Qinghe. She married to the next village a year ago. It is only five miles away, which is very close.
The son is the same age as Gao Qingmiao. He doesn't like studying and started working as an apprentice on a construction site before finishing junior high school. Now he has become a master and is working on projects with his uncle.
"Oh, right." Mrs. Zheng ordered, "You two sisters, take two pieces home and cook them. They're delicious whether fried or fried."
Gao Qinghe smiled: "Thank you, aunt."
Mrs. Zheng glared at her. "Why are we being so polite, family? Did you come back yesterday? I heard your parents went to the village chief's house to ask for a plot of land to build a new house?"
Gao Qinghe slowly swallowed the smooth and tender tofu pudding in his mouth, put down the spoon, and slapped his thigh.
"I almost forgot about the important things. It's all because the tofu pudding you made, aunt, was so fragrant that it made my brain confused." Gao Qinghe said angrily.
The two aunts were so happy with the praise that they laughed heartily.
Gao Qinghe told his two uncles that he wanted them to help him build a house.
Uncle Zheng is still at the construction site in the county town. Sister-in-law Zheng hurriedly said that she would ask someone to take a message to him when she got back.
Gao Qinghe nodded and said, "It's not too urgent. Yaya's test results will be out tomorrow, and I plan to take my grandma, parents, and the others to visit the county town."
Mrs. Zheng Dasao and Mrs. Zheng Ersao looked at each other, then looked at Gao Qinghe, who was wearing black sunglasses and was dressed just like the people in the city, and their hearts couldn't help but feel hot.
The two sisters-in-law seemed to want to say something but hesitated.
Mrs. Zheng couldn't help but ask tentatively, "Xiao He, Huang Yanqiu said that you two help sell buttons for the button factory and get commissions for placing orders. It seems like you guys are making a lot of money?"
Gao Qinghe nodded generously, "Yes, I made some money and used part of it to build a house. Grandma has been busy for most of her life, and now I can finally afford to let her enjoy more."
That is to say, there are some left.
The beans had been ground. Mrs. Zheng asked her sister-in-law to take over the work, wiped her hands, pulled a stool and sat down in front of Gao Qinghe.
I whispered to her, "Have you ever thought about doing something?"
If you only rely on the factory's orders to make commission, there will always be a day when your commission will run out.
If money doesn't make money, it will just sit there. One day you might find that it's all gone, and you don't even know where it went.
Gao Qinghe listened obediently, put down his empty bowl, and motioned for her to continue.
Mrs. Zheng: "Your uncle said that there's work everywhere in the city now. Those companies are looking for construction teams to do the work, such as building canteens and dormitories."
"As long as you know people at work and have your own engineering team, you can take on this job. You can earn much more than working for others on construction sites."
"Does your uncle know anyone at work?" Gao Qinghe asked curiously.
Mrs. Zheng nodded. "He's been working in the county for the past two years and has gotten to know some people. The people in charge of those units don't actually understand engineering at all. As long as you manage things well and have a good relationship with the people in charge, they can give the work to whoever they want."
At this point, Mrs. Zheng sighed, "I do know your uncle, but he comes from a humble background and has only started saving some money in the past two years."
"Even if this opportunity was right in front of me, I wouldn't have the money to take it."
Mrs. Zheng said that Uncle Zheng almost got a small project worth 50,000 yuan last month.
If he really does it, he can earn 10,000 to 20,000 yuan with his own team.
But I only found out at the end that the company would only give me 80% of the project payment after the main part of the project was completed.
The remaining 20 percent can only be obtained after compliance inspection.
In other words, you have to pay for it first.
We need to gather at least 20,000 yuan to get it up and running.
Poor thing, the two brothers tried their best to pool their money and borrow from others, but they still couldn't raise 20,000 yuan.
Uncle Zheng and his brother started out as laborers and knew that workers could not accept being owed wages the most.
The people in the engineering team are all from the same hometown that we all know each other. We can't cheat our own people, otherwise they will definitely not work with us in the future.
So, I could only watch the opportunity to make money slip away from my hands, feeling anxious and frustrated.
After holding my breath, I thought about tearing down the old house and building a new one, so that I don’t have to worry about those construction projects next time.
Uncle Zheng said, "We're not destined to get rich. We should just work hard for a few years and then go back to the countryside to grow crops and vegetables for retirement. At least we'll have a brick house to live in, which will make us more respectable than those poor old men in the village. It will also be easier to find a wife for our son in the future."
Both families were desperate.
Now when Mrs. Zheng saw Gao Qinghe, her half-dead heart suddenly came back to life.
Now that the eldest and second oldest sons in my younger sister's family are out making money, can't the three families succeed if they work together?
As for why I didn’t look for Gao Qingmiao before?
Young people are impatient and act without hesitation without any agreement, so they are not suitable for engineering work.
I did think about borrowing some money from the coal boss.
But if I really do that, won’t people look down on my niece?
Uncle Zheng would never do this even if he was beaten to death.
Uncle Zheng was afraid of being beaten to death by Old Lady Tian, his stepmother who was closer to him than his own mother, so he didn't have the courage to do it.
But Gao Qinghe himself is different. This is a close family.
You can tell at a glance that this girl is capable of great things!
Mrs. Zheng has great confidence in her judgment of people.
Gao Qinghe tucked the hair behind her ears and agreed, saying, "You have good taste."
"Then wait until my uncle comes back, and our two families will sit down together and have a good discussion."
Gao Qinghe stood up and went to the chopping board to select two pieces of fresh tofu.
He waved to his younger sister and left with his aunt looking on happily.
