Chapter 409 He, Hardworking
"Look, if time permits, you can try it today."
Zhou Hong rubbed his short hair and laughed heartily.
"I'll pay you no matter how much you work, even if you can't do it."
Eighty boxes of goods per day cost one dollar and sixty cents.
There is one every day, and if you count as thirty days in a month, it is forty-eight yuan.
Quite a lot.
Fu Jingyou nodded, "Okay."
He quickly took off his thin cotton coat, packed up his things and placed them beside the door, then immediately took action.
There is no technical skill required to move goods, and Fu Jingyou is strong and healthy, so this kind of work is nothing for him.
The tall and thin young man was already exhausted and out of breath after moving a box more than ten times each time.
He went back and forth, stacking three boxes at a time, steadily and quickly.
The tall and thin guy was staring at the side:
"Is this coming from the south?"
Look at that tall guy, and his muscular body, how can he look like a southerner?
He looks more like a northern man than him, okay?
A job that usually takes more than an hour took Fu Jingyou only half an hour to load all the remaining cargo boxes onto the truck and stack them.
Zhou Hong nodded as he watched, walked up to him, smiled, and patted him on the shoulder:
"How do you feel? Can you do it?"
Fu Jingyou panted slightly, sweating all over, nodded, and uttered two words calmly:
"I can."
Zhou Hong nodded and calculated the money for him on the spot. He gave Fu Jingyou one dollar and sixty cents based on the total of eighty boxes.
Fu Jingyou took out some money and gave three cents to the tall and thin man.
The tall and thin man was stunned. Seeing this, Zhou Hong smiled again.
The young man is good, calm and sincere.
"If he gives it to you, just take it."
Zhou Hong looked at the tall and thin man and said, then looked at Fu Jingyou:
"My last name is Zhou Hong. Brother, I haven't asked you what your name is yet."
"My last name is Fu, Brother Zhou, just call me Xiao Fu."
Zhou Hong nodded. "Okay, when can you confirm the time? I'll wait for you to come over."
"I can come over on either of these two days. As for the exact time, I won't know until the day after tomorrow."
I don’t know how the school’s course schedule is arranged yet.
But there must be time for lunch at noon.
Fu Jingyou pondered for a moment and said:
"I'll come over at lunchtime, okay?"
"Okay, as long as we can finish it between eleven and two o'clock this evening, I'll be waiting for you at that time. It won't interfere with my other work."
Zhou Hong nodded, and Fu Jingyou told him that he would come to register with his household registration page tomorrow.
Then he picked up the things on the ground, said hello, and went home.
This trip was worth it.
If you set aside some time every day, you can earn about 40 yuan a month.
It was more than what he had earned in the county before.
The English translation of "earthworms crawling" may offer a high salary, but it will definitely be difficult for him to work in a place he doesn't understand.
I don't even know if my boss will give his wife any trouble when translating or submitting manuscripts...
Now that he can earn some money, his wife and children will suffer less.
The wife doesn't have to bear the burden of the whole family alone.
I sweat more and feel happier.
Fu Jingyou raised his eyebrows slightly and curved the corners of his lips.
He held something in one hand and stroked the back of his head with the other.
He tried to calm himself down, but ultimately he couldn't calm down and laughed out loud as he walked on the road.
His steps as he ran back were brisk and cheerful, lacking his usual steadiness, like a naughty boy.
He had a different aura than usual. When Tang Mei got home, she noticed it and asked if there was any good news.
Fu Jingyou was afraid that Lu Miao would find out about this and worry about his situation at school, so he didn't tell anyone.
Give the cloth to Tang Mei and let her put it together when she is free.
He turned around and put together and stabilized the bench he had tinkered with last night.
When Lu Miao came back from the exam at noon, he found curtains in all three rooms of his house and two more benches.
The tabletop has also been assembled and is leaning against the wall to dry the varnish.
Once it's dry, you can put the table legs on.
However, the table top is not the traditional round or square one, but a long table.
The living room is spacious. Fu Jingyou measured the dimensions and found that the square table did not look good.
The long table may be a little unconventional, but practicality comes first.
Decent wood is hard to come by, so just make a long table. When the children grow up, it will be convenient for them to lie down and do their homework.
It saves you from having to get a small table.
When I looked back, the tables and cabinets were piled together, and the house felt crowded again.
Lu Miao had no objection to his arrangement.
Tang Mei had some opinions, but the young couple in the family had the final say. They thought there was no problem, so she had nothing to say.
The well is in the northwest corner of the yard. To avoid affecting water use, Fu Jingyou measured the dimensions and built a toilet in the northeast corner.
That is the left corner as you enter the courtyard.
He was busy digging holes and mixing cement in the afternoon. Lu Miao was not idle either. After coming back for lunch, he went in and out and bought a lot of small things for the house.
The cement-built water pressure well and the varnish on the doors and windows have dried completely.
Tang Mei no longer has to look after her two children all the time.
When the sun is shining outside, I take the children to the yard to bask in the sun and let them run around and play by themselves.
Gradually, Tang Mei had time to take over the housework.
The courtyard gradually had more and more things in it, and it felt more and more like home.
Tang Mei saw how busy the couple had been during this period and said:
"According to the old saying, when you move into a new house, you should set off some firecrackers."
"Let's not get into that. We've told the public that this courtyard is rented."
Lu Miao shook his head and sat in the sun threading the needle and cutting the cloth for the bag.
Tang Mei thought about it and agreed.
If they set off firecrackers to announce to the world that they have moved into a new house, wouldn't that be telling everyone in a clear and blatant way that they bought this house in secret?
Tang Mei didn't mention it again. She went into the house and soaked Lu Miao's thin cotton coat in water to wash it.
Lu Miao recalled the army green crossbody bag with a red five-pointed star that he had seen in the department store before.
I enlarged the size according to the pattern and sewed a black one for Fu Jingyou.
The five-pointed star was a bit troublesome and couldn't be embroidered in a short time, so Lu Miao didn't do it.
Turning the backpack around, she embroidered a small Chinese character "Fu" on an inconspicuous spot on one side using the same color thread in a cross-stitch style.
Her handicrafts were not very good, and the backpack was a little tattered inside, but it looked okay from the outside.
Lu Miao turned the bag over, cut off the excess threads and scraps of cloth inside, and waved for Fu Jingyou to come over and try it.
The top fits well and doesn't look like the baby bump it did back then.
Lu Miao put his hand on his forehead, blocking the sunlight as he looked up and down at Fu Jingyou.
Nodding with satisfaction, she pinched the bag that Fu Jingyou was carrying at his side and said:
"I didn't put those buckles on you. These are snaps. Just press them into the holes and they'll snap shut."
She held the backpack to demonstrate, and finally opened the outer page of the backpack to let Fu Jingyou see inside:
"This is a zipper. Open it when you use it, and zip it up when you don't."
The accessories on the bag were all bought at the department store when I bought the cloth that day.
