Chapter 170: No Praise
But now Zhao Yi doesn't dare to earn this money. Not to mention the dialects of both sides, no one can understand each other. Just looking at the situation over there, how can an outsider get anything good?
Besides, Zhao Yi is not familiar with the place, unless someone takes him there, but such a person is hard to find.
Zhao Yi didn't dwell on this issue. Some money can't be earned just by having the idea; luck is also required.
"If it's cheaper, I'll buy one for Xuanxuan."
Zhang Jing said while looking at the electronic watch on her wrist.
As for Zhao Peng, this naughty monkey, Zhang Jing dared not buy it for him. Everyone at home called him Dabao, and when he went out, the group of little kids called him Monkey. This guy climbed trees very fast and jumped up and down all day long.
After wearing new clothes for three days, they are guaranteed to have several patches on them.
"He's still young now, and this thing can't be bought with money. Let's wait until the child is older. Maybe in a few years we'll be able to buy it here."
Zhao Yi smiled and comforted.
Zhang Jing chatted with Zhao Yi for a few words and then walked into the restaurant. She came back with a bowl of cabbage soup. Chen Jiao came over with some steamed buns.
The two of them had lunch with pickled cabbage soup.
After lunch, Zhao Yi lay on a chair at the door, reading the newspaper and drinking tea, while Zhang Jing went home to rest.
"Brother Yi."
Zhao Yi put down the newspaper and looked at Zhao Laowu.
At this time, Zhao Laowu and Liu Qi brought their wives to bring Dragon Boat Festival dishes to Zhao Yi.
"Have you eaten yet?"
Zhao Yi asked.
"not yet."
Knowing that Zhao Yi was not talking nonsense, Zhao Laowu did not hesitate and set out at dawn. They had just arrived and were not going to have lunch.
Zhao Yi walked into the restaurant. Zhang Xiang and Chen Fen had already gone to rest, so Zhao Yi could only cook and entertain them himself.
"Brother Yi, I heard that some places in Province A offer large-scale contracting. What's the difference between large-scale contracting and working as a laborer?"
Zhao Laowu looked at Zhao Yi and asked.
At this time, the regional leaders had already gone to Province A to observe and learn, and understand the benefits of the contract responsibility system. When the contract responsibility system was first implemented, radio and newspapers were used to promote it.
I don’t know how Zhao Laowu discussed this topic today.
"Why do you want to ask this?"
Zhao Yi was a little confused.
"I saw the newspaper at the team headquarters today and I was a little confused, but when I asked the villagers, no one knew."
Zhao Laowu scratched his head and said.
"I don't know either. Maybe we can take care of everything in the future. You will know then."
Zhao Yi said with a smile.
"Yeah, I was confused. How could I know whether Brother Yi had been there or not?"
Zhao Laowu smiled, then raised his glass and clinked it with Zhao Yi's.
Zhao Yi's family can now earn one thousand yuan a month, but it all depends on the two families of Liu Qi and Zhao Laowu who deliver supplies back and forth on foot. Naturally, they will not be stingy with the wine every time they entertain Zhao Yi.
They chatted for a while, and after eating and drinking, Zhao Yi counted the money for them, and they took the money and rushed back to Wangou Village.
"Boss, why do you want to ask Brother Yi about this?"
Huang Li looked at Zhao Laowu and asked.
"I asked this question subconsciously. Brother Yi knows a lot. I can get answers to many things I don't understand by asking him."
Zhao Laowu scratched his head and smiled.
"I also thought Zhao Yi would know."
Liu Qi originally thought that Zhao Yi knew something from watching TV and listening to the radio, but he didn't expect that Zhao Yi didn't know about the contract responsibility system.
"You still have to learn how to read people's expressions. When my boss asked this question, Brother Yi was obviously stunned for a moment. It was obvious that he knew about this but didn't want to say it for some reason."
Huang Li is very good at observing people's words and expressions. Just like when the old lady wanted to sow discord, Huang Li knew what the other party was thinking at a glance.
"Don't ask me anymore. There must be a reason why he doesn't tell me."
Huang Li said with a wry smile.
Zhao Yi was stunned for a moment and his eyes were obviously a little sad. Huang Li just couldn't understand why Zhao Yi was sad. She was a worker and her wife was also a worker. Now their family has a restaurant and their children are very obedient and go to school.
The elderly people in the family didn't ask Zhao Yi to take care of them, so logically speaking, there was nothing worth Zhao Yi's sadness.
At this time, Zhao Yi was repairing home appliances in the repair shop.
I also tend to get distracted while working.
Zhao Yi remembered that in his previous life, he went to Wangou Village to distribute land to households in January 1982. At that time, the three ungrateful people had already graduated and had found jobs.
Parents also followed the others into the city, and all the family's land fell on Zhang Jing alone. In order to live a good life, Zhang Jing worked even harder than when she was working in the team.
I get up before dawn to work and go home only after dark.
Zhao Yi was stunned for a moment and decided not to think about these things anymore. His family was living well now. Zhang Jing would go to the hospital that cooperated with the garment factory for some simple check-ups every six months. She didn't do any strenuous work now, so what happened before would definitely not happen again.
evening.
Zhang Jing smiled and led the two little ones back to the restaurant entrance.
"Boss, we'll have half a day off tomorrow."
Zhang Jing smiled happily as she spoke. She didn't have any holidays before, but now she can even rest for half a day.
"We don't have any holidays here."
Zhao Yi smiled bitterly.
The more holidays there are, the busier the department stores are. Repair shops may be better but not much better, as there are more workers working on home appliances now.
Plus, home appliances have the three guarantees policy: repair, return and replacement. Of course, this is within the specified time, so this job doesn't give you much free time.
"My eldest son has made great progress. There are red flowers on his homework books now. He hasn't caused any trouble for me since the start of the school year. Keep up the good work. Here is two cents as a reward for you. Don't spend it all on popsicles.
Of course, my girl is also well-behaved and has never caused trouble since she started kindergarten. ”
Zhang Jing felt even happier when she saw the two little guys looking at her eagerly.
He took out two dimes from his pocket and handed it over.
"Just keep praising me, or it might get you into trouble later."
Zhao Yi glanced at Zhao Peng and smiled, "This kid doesn't like to be praised. In the past, whenever he was praised, he would definitely cause trouble."
"If you dare, I'll break his legs."
Zhang Jing immediately said with a stern face.
After saying that, he no longer cared about the two of them, hurriedly took out the prepared glutinous rice, and started making rice dumplings in front of the maintenance shop, while chatting with Zhao Yi about interesting things in the factory.
"Do you remember the electronic watch I brought back today? Master Hong bought it for forty-five dollars."
"How can I know these things? I'm too busy at the repair shop to leave. Besides, why did she buy a watch? When I saw her marrying a chef, she was wearing a brand new watch on her wrist."
Zhao Yi was a little confused. Generally, people who already have a watch would not spend the money to buy an electronic watch. After all, it would not look stylish enough when worn on the wrist.
"Their child is already in junior high school, so of course I bought it for him. I used to spend money carefully, but since I married Master Liu, I occasionally buy braised pork when I eat in the cafeteria."
"She's a regular employee now, and someone brings her meals. Can't she have a good meal once in a while?"
Of course Zhao Yi would just go along with Zhang Jing's conversation, otherwise he would not be interested in these things at all.
