Chapter 103 Taking the Job
Fang Mingche was stunned. It was the dog days of summer. It was not easy to be out and about like this. Don’t let this scholar get a heat stroke! He was not like me, he had worked in the fields.
“You should have a basic salary for the past two months, right? If you are willing to return to your original school after graduation, you can also get a basic salary during the school period.”
It is true that teachers have winter and summer vacations, but they only have basic salary during winter and summer vacations.
Teacher Gao said, “What is it enough for?”
His mother did not have a job and was a housewife. There was no place to reimburse half of the medical expenses! Otherwise, his burden would not be so heavy.
Fang Mingche said, “Then I can only give you a package price, and I will pay you only after the work is done. Your travel expenses are also included.”
You can’t look for it everywhere and finally come back with a bunch of tickets to be reimbursed. In this way, you will definitely use your brains to get things done with the least money.
Teacher Gao nodded, “Okay. But, does such a small business really need an accountant?”
This business may not be as big as the tea stall business. After all, the tea stall was originally set up in Tiananmen Square.
"You will become a big boss in the future. You will be an accountant and bookkeeper, and you will do it once a month. We will charge you by the time. You are here to observe, so you can find out what you are suitable for in the future. My wife will also be a cashier in the name of work-study."
Tsk, the first batch of college students have not graduated yet, and the State Council is still in need of college students, but his scrap yard can actually have three prospective college students.
Teacher Gao took a business trip and went back. Give him 10 yuan to find out the buyers of waste paper, glass, scrap copper and iron, etc. If he can compare prices and find a place with a higher purchase price, there will be a bonus.
When he went back and told Xiao Xie about it, Xiao Xie felt a little distressed, "Why go out in such a hot day?"
"Farmers work in the fields."
Xiao Xie said, "But you are a scholar!"
"A penny can make a hero fall, let alone a scholar. Xiao Fang's college entrance examination score is several tens of points higher than mine, and he is willing to do anything."
At the beginning, Teacher Gao felt a little embarrassed even to set up a tea stall. At that time, I really didn't think how much money I could make from two cents a bowl. But, they bought a house in a few months. They won't have to pay rent every month in the future.
He couldn't see much of this scrap business for the time being. But for a smart person like Xiao Fang, it must be profitable.
Later, Xiao Xie went to the water well to fetch water. She was better at this kind of work than Teacher Gao.
She met Lin Yan who also came to fetch water. The water tank was almost empty, so she scooped out the rest and let it settle. She
poured out the usable part to prepare for washing vegetables, and poured the part with residue at the bottom into the bucket for flushing the toilet. The bucket usually contains water from two families washing vegetables. In addition to watering flowers, it is just right for flushing the toilet.
The water tank at home is not big, and it is full after two buckets of water.
Fang Mingche saw her changing the water tank, so he went to the back of the door to get the shoulder pole and bucket.
Lin Yan hurriedly said, "Put it there, and rest more after taking a bath. It saves you from wasting water by taking another bath."
Fang Mingche knew that fetching water was not a problem for her. After all, before she became a teacher, she had carried manure. Seeing that she felt sorry for herself after working all day in the hot weather, she did not compete with her to carry water.
Lin Yan came over with an empty bucket and happily met Xiao Xie at the water well.
Xiao Xie said, "Put it here, I'll press it together."
This is not troublesome, and Lin Yan didn't say much. She really put her own bucket over.
Xiao Xie pressed it twice and it was four-fifths full, so she changed another bucket. Lin Yan hooked the bucket with a hook and looked up to see Xiao Xie's worried look. She thought she was worried because she was not well off.
So she comforted her, "You are so diligent, your life will definitely get better and better."
Xiao Xie said, "I'm not doing this for this. My life now is much better than when I was in the countryside. I'm worried that Brother Gao will look down on me after becoming a college student."
Life in the compound is really much better than in the countryside. At her mother's house, she worked all day and never had enough food. Now she has white rice every day.
She doesn't dislike her mother-in-law, who is often sick and often soils the bed. If not, how could she, who can't read or write, be the wife of Brother Gao?
People in the village say that she is so lucky and married into a wealthy family. Of course, she has to serve her mother-in-law well. But now that Brother Gao can go to college, will he look down on her even more?
Lin Yan actually thinks this is a problem. Now that Gao's mother is still alive, Teacher Gao needs Xiao Xie to help him take care of his sick mother. If Gao's mother is gone in the future, Xiao Xie will not be so useful. He won't be unfaithful, right?
Lin Yan thought about it, "What's the big deal if you can't recognize a few words? Come over when you are free, I can teach you to recognize twenty words a day. A little bit adds up to a lot, and you can read books and newspapers by yourself in the future."
Don't underestimate recognizing twenty words a day. Mingche just memorizes twenty words a day. Now at home, he can read the English newspapers given by Wang Dexian. He only takes out the "English Dictionary" occasionally to look it up.
The college entrance examination is over, but he still insists on memorizing twenty words a day. He also reads those English newspapers and magazines. Lin Yan also started to memorize words.
Xiao Xie's eyes lit up, "Teacher Lin, is it really possible?"
Lin Yan nodded, "Sure. Your teacher Gao is on a business trip, you can come over after you take care of your mother-in-law. But why don't you learn from him?"
It's been so long since they got married. If someone is willing to teach and learn, they should have recognized a lot of words.
It seems that Teacher Gao is really not paying attention to Xiao Xie. Isn't he treating her as a free nanny?
"He has to review for the college entrance examination and has to make a living."
Lin Yan nodded, "Then it's settled."
Xiao Xie said, "From now on, your family will have a tank of water every three days, and I will pay for it."
She couldn't afford the tuition, and even wanted to send a basket of eggs. This is a thank you gift.
Lin Yan bent down to carry water and said hurriedly, "No, no. We are neighbors."
The next morning, Teacher Gao set off. Xiao Xie boiled a few eggs for him to take with him, so that he could have lunch later. It's too expensive to eat out!
All the eggs at home were eaten by her sick mother-in-law and the man who supported the family. She herself was reluctant to eat any of them.
Fang Mingche didn't care what method Teacher Gao used, as long as he told her the result in the end.
In this case, Teacher Gao would definitely exercise his subjective initiative. He wore a straw hat and went to the collection station. He didn't ask anyone, just listened to the chats of the scavengers waiting in line to deliver goods. Then he went to the state-owned restaurant that the delivery drivers of the collection station liked to go to. He sat at the table next to them, or shared a table.
Three days later, Teacher Gao came back and found Fang Mingche, "I have found out everything. The scrap copper and iron will be sent to Shougang, the broken glass will be sent to Handan Glass Factory, and there are more places that purchase waste paper. I went to Shougang, Handan Glass Factory and other places to inquire about the purchase price."
