Chapter 605 Xu Qiuling's Work
Twenty pigs are not too many. The sweet potatoes in the tea garden have grown and we have pig feed.
Xu Zijin thought this plan was feasible. She said softly, "If she is willing to work in the tea garden, let her go, but she has to try it out for three months first."
"Hmmmm."
Work in a tea garden is not easy and the current salary is not very high.
Lu Yulan had no idea whether her cousin could endure hardship.
The next morning, Lu Yulan went to discuss with Xu Zilan first.
Xu Zilan naturally agreed immediately. She said happily, "This is even better. I can live in the tea garden and keep my sister-in-law company."
"Is it okay to give her thirty yuan a month and she doesn't have to pay for food and lodging?"
Of course!
Lu Yulan nodded excitedly: "Thank you so much, my sister-in-law said that we will try it for three months first, and I will give you less for the first three months."
"If she can keep doing this, I'll give her another thirty."
This is a good idea.
Xu Zilan agreed.
Xu Qiuling didn't expect that she would find a job the next day after she arrived, and she would even get a raise if she did a good job.
At the beginning, I could earn twenty-five dollars a month, which provided food and shelter. It was much better than doing odd jobs.
And it’s still pig farming!
Although raising pigs is tiring, how can it be as hard as farming?
What makes Xu Qiuling happiest is that she can earn money by raising pigs, but she won’t see a penny even if she farms at home until she dies!
"Cousin, don't worry, I will do my best."
"Okay, I believe you."
Lu Yulan found a job for Xu Qiuling. In the afternoon, Xu Zijin took Xu Qiuling and Lu Yuzhu to Qi Hong's store.
There are quite a lot of people in the store, some looking at clothes, some buying clothes, and some trying on clothes. Business is very good.
When Qi Hong heard that Xu Zijin wanted to buy two sets of clothes for his cousin's wife, she personally received him.
"Choose for yourself, these sets are very popular this year."
Xu Zijin nodded: "You can choose for yourselves, two sets each."
Lu Yuzhu: "...Sister-in-law, didn't you buy me new clothes?"
Xu Zijin smiled and said, "It's a reward for you."
——What great thing did I do that my sister-in-law rewarded me?
Lu Yuzhu shook her head like a rattle: "I don't want to buy it anymore. It's a waste of money. I've had enough."
Xu Zijin looked at her with a smile on his face: "Then choose a set. If it rains and the clothes can't dry, you can still change them."
Lu Yuzhu was a sensible child. She knew that making money was not easy and she refused to accept it.
"I already brought clothes, I don't need them anymore, I'm still growing."
"Sister-in-law, wait until I'm not too old before buying it."
She was determined not to buy anything, so Xu Zijin didn't force her and asked her to help Xu Qiuling choose clothes.
"Zijin, your sister-in-law is really good. Your mother-in-law is really good at teaching children."
Xu Zijin smiled and said, "She was frightened by her older daughter, so she was much stricter with the younger one."
"Sister-in-law, your business is really good. How about this helper?"
Qi Hong laughed out loud when she heard this: "How could the person you're looking for be wrong?"
“He is both hardworking and eloquent, which is very good.”
Xu Zijin nodded: "That's good, your cousin's wife..."
When talking about Su Qiaoying, Qi Hong's expression faded.
"She is pregnant."
Hehehe.
This is really God’s help.
"That's good."
After they chatted for a few sentences, Xu Qiuling had chosen her clothes.
When Xu Zijin saw that she had chosen a cotton silk dress and a set of cotton clothes and pants, he looked at her with some surprise.
"The color of this dress is a bit old-fashioned. Do you want to choose another one?"
Xu Qiuling shook her head repeatedly: "No, no, this color doesn't get dirty easily, this is the best."
I didn't expect he was such a down-to-earth person.
Xu Zijin still changed it for her.
He changed into a set of black Dacron breeches and a light yellow short-sleeved shirt.
In addition, the cotton silk dress she had chosen was also kept for her.
"I have a few old sets of work clothes. I wear this one morning and night."
Xu Qiuling felt uncomfortable.
She has never worn a new set of clothes since she was a child. She only wears old clothes picked up from adults.
And this cousin’s wife bought two sets for her cousin!
"Thank you, cousin, I will do my best."
Xu Zijin smiled and said, "I believe you, but this is your only chance."
The only chance... yes, this is her only chance, she must grab it tightly.
The next morning, Xu Qiuling moved to the tea garden, and Xu Zijin borrowed a set of Chinese, mathematics and English textbooks for the first grade of junior high school.
"Every morning, you study on your own. From 2 to 5 in the afternoon, a sister will come to tutor you."
"I've asked someone to buy the English tapes and practice questions."
"Remember, you have to take the exam before the end of summer vacation."
Lu Yuzhu was very excited: "Sister-in-law, I will definitely study hard."
When he heard that his sister was going to repeat a grade and that his sister-in-law had found a teacher to tutor her, Xiaoliu thought about it and said that he also wanted to borrow a set of sixth-grade textbooks.
Xu Zijin was very surprised when he heard this.
"No problem, I'll find you a teacher too."
ha?
It costs money to hire a teacher!
Xiaoliu couldn't bear to leave.
He immediately waved his hand: "Sister-in-law, no, no, if I don't know anything, you can ask Fifth Sister."
Xu Zijin's face twitched: Your fifth sister...I'm afraid she can't guide you!
Of course I can’t say this, it’s too discouraging!
Xu Zijin shook his head: "Don't worry about this. Ziwang also needs to find a teacher to tutor him. Just listen to me."
It’s the same whether you look for it once or twice.
Xu Zijin not only found textbooks for Xiaoliu, but also for Liu Ziwang and Qiu Xiaoying.
"You want Gu Nian to be your uncle's teacher?"
Captain Gu’s family was shocked.
Xu Zijin nodded: "Yes, sister-in-law, you heard it right."
"For 30 yuan a month, you can help me with the parts my child doesn't understand and correct his homework."
Captain Gu's family was so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths.
"Xiao Xu, I don't need that much money. Just give me 10 or 8 yuan a month."
"Nian Nian doesn't have any homework this summer, so let her go."
Gu Nian is fourteen years old, the same age as Lu Yuzhu, but her academic performance is very good and she will be in the key class of the first year of high school in the second half of the year.
As there is money to be made, Gu Nian is naturally willing to do so. She is just tutoring two elementary school students and she has a passion for being a teacher.
"Auntie, when does it start?"
Xu Zijin wanted to start tomorrow, but suddenly, something happened to her.
"Xiao Nian, I want to take you and some of your brothers and sisters to the Xinhua Bookstore in the provincial capital. Can you help them choose some materials?"
Going to the provincial capital?
Gu Nian had only been there once.
In that place, the roads are built straight, cars are humming, and all kinds of things are sold. It's really fun.
She nodded happily: "Sure, sure, when are we going?"
If you want to go, of course you have to go early.
Let Fifth Sister and Little Six see the big world as soon as possible so that they can broaden their horizons.
Xu Zijin decided: "Then tomorrow."
tomorrow?
Gu Nian was very happy: "Okay, Auntie, come and call me tomorrow morning."
"OK."
