Chapter 63 Lin Qin Goes to Work
Now that Liu Yaya is on the boat, the little girl has to be even more careful. Chen Wenjun is eager to move her ashore as soon as possible.
Lin Qin's heart tightened, and he also became anxious, "It's not possible to live here just because there's a big door!"
Chen Wenjun grinned, "Let's build the gate first. By then the fence will be several dozen centimeters high. We can sleep on the cement floor at night. Isn't it more comfortable than sleeping in a bed?"
Lin Qin agreed.
The space on the fishing boat is limited, and it is a bit crowded for five people. Sleeping on the floor is a good idea.
Seeing her support, Chen Wenjun became more and more excited. "I also plan to build a plastic shed so that we can live in it even if it rains. The prerequisite is that this gate must be built well."
At this time, Lin Qin also realized the importance of this gate, and the two of them even planned to make a more expensive and heavier gate.
With that said, the urgency of making money arises.
Chen Wenjun hurriedly urged, "You go take the kids fishing, Dad and I will work."
The whole family was busy from sunset to when the moon was bright and the stars were sparse. Calculating the time, it was probably almost ten o'clock.
Chen Wenjun took a quick shower and went to work.
The next day, after selling the fish, he went to Guoxing Hotel to deliver the goods. As soon as he entered the door, Zheng Guoxing excitedly grabbed him.
"Good brother! Thanks to your fish yesterday, not only did my brother-in-law's birthday party go down well, but I also got a lot of benefits. From now on, as long as you have the fish, no matter how much, I will take them all!"
Chen Wenjun was flattered. "Not really. It's just some fish. Besides, you paid for it!"
Zheng Guoxing shook his head meaningfully.
He is not the only one who can pay this money. As for Chen Wenjun's goods, there will be people who will buy them no matter where he takes them, and the price they offer will not be low.
Han Dongcai's colleagues are all from government agencies and are all capable people. He had a very satisfying meal at his place yesterday and will definitely have more social events at his place in the future. He will also have the opportunity to make friends with more wealthy and powerful people, and the benefits brought by this will be immeasurable.
There was no need for him to tell Chen Wenjun about these things, but he remembered Chen Wenjun's kindness and had to find a way to maintain the business between them.
After the goods were weighed, Zheng Guoxing settled the bill for Chen Wenjun and also gave him two bottles of wine and a pack of cigarettes.
Chen Wenjun refused to accept it no matter what.
Zheng Guoxing became impatient. “Just take it if I tell you to. These were ordered by my brother-in-law yesterday. They weren’t used up yet, so I have some left over. I am taking advantage of them, so I can’t forget my brother!
My brother-in-law wanted to thank you, so I did it for him."
Chen Wenjun kept refusing until he reached the hotel entrance, and Zheng Guoxing followed him out. In the end, he had no choice but to accept it.
Wait until he returns to Nanyu.
After Lin Yi knew about this, he kept praising Zheng Guoxing for his generosity.
Lin Qin followed suit, and could guess something, but didn't say much, "Keep these things, they'll be great to give to others later."
"That's what I thought. You go take a rest and I'll do it!"
"No need! We have to install the gate tomorrow. We have to build this wall today no matter what. The higher the better."
Lin Qin clenched his fists fiercely and worked harder.
Chen Wenjun joined in even though he couldn't be persuaded, and went fishing again when he was almost done.
Today was the same as yesterday, and with the help of Lin Qingxiang and Lin Shaojun, the wall around the gap was already more than two meters high.
They used stone strips prepared in advance to seal the frame, and after the cement dried overnight, they could install the gate.
As for how to deal with the stone slabs, we have to wait for Zhang Yongquan to come and give advice.
The next day, Zhang Yongquan and his apprentice Lin Zhiqiang came carrying the materials.
It took the two of them a day and a half to complete the gate and seal the opening in it.
Lin Qingxiang and his son found two large sacks of glass bottles, broke them up and taped them to the wall, and that was enough.
The person who was happiest after the gate was completed was Chen Wenjun. I don't know where he bought a roll of plastic tarpaulin from, but it seemed like he was preparing to set up a tent on the island to live in.
Lin Qingxiang and his son joked with each other for a while and then hurriedly quickened their work speed.
When they ran out of red bricks and cement, they contacted Huang Wenlong again and sent materials four times in succession. The couple was left with only a hundred yuan in their pockets.
At this time, only one floor of the house had been built and the roof had not yet been completed.
Almost five tons of steel bars are needed to build the second floor. Even with Huang Wenlong's help, five tons of steel bars will cost nearly two thousand yuan, so they will have to save up for a while.
There was not enough money, so the project came to a halt.
Fortunately, the partitions on the first floor have been repaired. After the ground was swept, a roof was built with plastic sheeting, making it barely habitable.
When Lin Yi had nothing to do, he used the remaining wooden boards and red bricks to build two beds in two rooms, and covered them with a plastic shed, so people could live there even when it rained, and it would be enough before the weather got cold.
At this moment, Huang Wenlong's project has also started.
Lin Qin packed up and went to work quickly.
At first she was quite nervous. After all, she had never taken the initiative to work in her two lifetimes, and it was all Chen Wenjun who supported her.
Even after being reborn in this life, Chen Wenjun did not let her take charge.
Huang Wenlong saw that she was nervous and grinned, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, it's just making lunch. We are just starting out, no one will say anything."
Lin Qin pursed her lips and whispered, "I'll wait for my husband to bring the food over and then I'll see what I can do. How about using these wild duck eggs to stir-fry a dish and make a dish of meat?"
Huang Wenlong nodded, "Okay! Sister-in-law, please take care of the arrangements. I will also start working. If you need anything later, come find me. I'll be here."
Lin Qin watched Huang Wenlong leave and breathed a sigh of relief.
The worker came to Huang Wenlong and asked in a low voice: "Boss, I see this guy is stupid and his hands and feet are not flexible. Can he do it?"
Huang Wenlong was unsure, but he didn't show it. "We'll know whether it works or not after lunch."
No one thinks highly of Lin Qin.
At about half past nine, Chen Wenjun came over with the leftover fish and shrimp.
Lin Qin hurried over to take a look and found seven or eight crucian carps weighing three or four taels, a dozen palm-sized carps, three or four catties of snails, and a few river shrimps.
“Why are there so many left?”
In the past, they would have sold at most half of this.
Chen Wenjun glanced at the dusty construction site and said, "This is reserved for you! I think we've sold most of the fish so we can close the stall. Let's go! Let's pack up the fish first. There are some vegetables over there. Do you want to go and tell Mr. Huang to come over and take a look? We can weigh the fish right in front of you to avoid any arguments later."
Lin Qin immediately went to find Huang Wenlong.
Huang Wenlong said no, but he still came over with Lin Qin.
Chen Wenjun has been setting up the stall for a long time and is very fast at weighing things. He even wanted to put the scale in front of Huang Wenlong so that he could see it clearly.
Lin Qin was counting silently on the side.
At this time, Huang Wenlong had already started taking notes.
The couple realized that they should learn more words, otherwise they would have to rely on others to sell things in the future, which would be too passive and easy to be fooled.
In the next chapter, the murderer who knocked Chen Wenjun unconscious appears. Don't worry, this person can't harm the protagonist.
