Chapter 494 Earning Money
That night, there was a plate of grilled fish on the dining table at home.
The whole family enjoyed the meal very much. Wang Qiaolian praised: "It tastes good. Did you buy it?"
Chen Kexin nodded and said, "Yes, I will buy it again if you guys want to eat it. By the way, I want to buy some and mail it to my grandfather, is that okay?"
"Of course, they must have enough food every day at the front line. Dried fish can be eaten not only as a snack, but also as a dish. It's September and the temperature is still so high. It should be even hotter in the south. Sweating can easily make the body weak. Dried fish can not only supplement nutrition, but also increase salt."
Listening to her mother's clear and logical explanation, Chen Kexin felt deeply moved. Her mother's horizons have broadened and she has gradually grown up after she started working.
When my grandmother and uncle come back, they will definitely be very happy to see relatives like this.
That night, Chen Kexin roasted dozens of dried fish and prepared a lot of life-saving medicines, which she mailed to her grandfather.
After that, Chen Kexin went to the research institute every day.
The problem she encountered this time was a bit tricky, and she finally solved it after repeatedly reasoning and pondering for several days.
Director Tian was delighted when he heard the news, "Miss Kexin, thank you for your hard work!"
Chen Kexin shook her head and said, "It's not hard work. I'm an employee of the institute and this is what I should do. It's just that I can't answer some difficult questions in time, please forgive me."
"Miss Ke Xin, you are too polite. We have racked our brains for many days to solve these difficult problems but have no clue. You were able to solve them in just a few days. You can be said to be a great contributor to the institute."
"Thank you for the compliment. I have tried my best these past few days."
There was something wrong with what she said. She mobilized all the knowledge she had accumulated from her previous life and it took her several days to figure it out.
Director Tian continued, "By the way, you haven't received your salary and bonus from last month, so I collected them for you. You have solved another technical problem this time, so I will definitely give you a big reward next month."
As he spoke, he took out the pay slip and money from the drawer and handed them to him.
Chen Kexin took it and saw that the salary on the pay slip was thirty-two yuan and fifty cents, with a bonus of fifteen yuan.
I checked the amount of money and put it away if it was okay.
I muttered to myself: The huge reward Director Tian mentioned will definitely be more than fifteen yuan next month.
There is a joy in my heart of being recognized.
Thinking of the income from the pharmaceutical factory and the radio factory, as well as the income from the pharmaceutical sales of Jenny, countless small amounts of money went into his pocket.
She smiled and said, "Director Tian, I'm going back now. School will start the day after tomorrow and I'll report tomorrow. I have to go to school to take a look."
"I know you're busy. Go back. I'll call you if there's anything. If there's nothing else, you don't have to come."
"You're not coming on Sunday either?"
"OK!"
Chen Kexin didn't expect that after solving the problem, she would not only receive a generous reward, but also receive more flexible welfare benefits.
I felt very happy immediately. It was good to be able to earn money without working.
"Director Tian, thank you very much!"
"It doesn't matter!"
Watching her walk away, Director Tian raised a faint smile: Little girl, did you think it was a good thing? If there are any problems that cannot be solved in the institute, feel free to call her whenever she has a headache.
The next day, Chen Kexin came to school in a very good mood.
She wandered around Secretary Liu, then hung out in front of the dean of studies. Just as she was about to go see her homeroom teacher, Mr. Shi Jin, she came towards her, Sister Meihua.
I haven't seen my sister-in-law for a month, and she has obviously lost a lot of weight and doesn't look good.
Thinking of the job she had found, it suddenly became clear.
She said distressedly: "Sister-in-law..."
Sister Meihua saw her, took her hand affectionately and said, "Sister, I heard you went to Xinjiang, how did you feel?"
"I spent most of the time on the train. Fortunately, my mother didn't let me go alone, otherwise I wouldn't dare to sleep at night."
As they were talking, Chen Kexin felt that Sister Meihua's hands were very rough.
Looking down, I saw that my sister-in-law's hands were not only rough, but also wrinkled and white.
She was immediately shocked and asked, "Sister-in-law, what happened to your hand?"
Sister Meihua subconsciously retracted her hand and said, "It's nothing. I washed a lot of bedding and clothes this morning. It will be fine tomorrow."
Chen Kexin quickly thought of something and asked anxiously, "Sister-in-law, are they the bedding and clothes from the family where you work?"
"yes……"
"This morning? Why are you working again?"
"His wife said that it's not a month yet, there's still one day left. I went over to wash a lot of bedding and clothes this morning, and I have to go over to cook and take care of the old lady later."
"Sister-in-law, fifteen yuan a month is too much of a loss..."
Zhao Meihua said bitterly: "I know, but there are so many college students looking for work during the holidays. I wasted several days to find this job. Fifteen yuan is not much, but it's better than nothing."
Chen Kexin felt bitter in her heart, and said firmly: "Sister-in-law, I will help you find a job during the holidays. Don't make yourself suffer."
"Sister, do you have any connections?"
Chen Kexin never told her classmates in detail about her role as director of the two factories.
At this moment, he just nodded slightly and said, "Yeah!"
"Then my sister-in-law will come to you during the holidays."
"OK!"
Chen Kexin looked around to see if there was anyone around, and whispered, "By the way, I know a retired soldier with good character. He used to be the deputy director of a pharmaceutical factory, and he got a college degree. He is about the same age as you, how about I introduce you to each other?"
Zhao Meihua's thin face suddenly turned red, and she shook her head repeatedly and said, "Sister, I know you are doing this for my own good. I don't want Xiaoliang to suffer any grievances, I just want to raise the child alone."
Chen Kexin immediately realized that the matter was over.
"Sister-in-law, I'll tell the other party, let's forget about it."
"good!"
School officially started the next day. During the English class, Chen Kexin discovered that Zhao Meihua's eyes were red and swollen.
I wondered in my heart: Did my sister-in-law regret it and cry last night?
After class, she pulled Zhao Meihua to a deserted place and whispered, "Sister-in-law, I haven't had time to tell the other party yet. If you have any ideas, can we arrange a meeting for you two this weekend?"
Zhao Meihua hurriedly explained, "Sister, don't misunderstand me, forget about that incident, it was because of something else that I was so angry that I cried."
"Sister-in-law, tell me what's going on. Can I help you?"
Zhao Meihua bit her lip before saying, "That woman said I was lazy and just did the work to get by without paying me."
Chen Kexin knew very well that Sister Meihua did things efficiently and effectively and would never be lazy or slack off.
It's been a month and you're just saying that you didn't do a good job. What were you doing before?
Didn’t you say yesterday that there was only one day left?
Changed the wording again today?
That woman’s conscience has been eaten by a dog, yet she still slanders people wantonly?
It's obvious that the lice on the bald head were just to save fifteen yuan.
Holding back his anger, he asked, "Sister-in-law, have you signed the agreement?"
Zhao Meihua shook her head and said bitterly, "I didn't think too much about it. If I had known his family was like this, I would never have let them work so hard for a month for nothing."
"Sister-in-law, who else is there in his family?"
"The old lady has a son and daughter-in-law, and two school-age children. Both husband and wife have jobs and said they don't have time to take care of the old lady, so they hired someone to take care of her."
Chen Kexin suddenly gained confidence and said indignantly, "Sister-in-law, I will go with you at noon to argue with you. If they don't give it to me, I will sue them. If they dare to bully the relatives of martyrs, I will report this matter to their unit."
Zhao Meihua's eyes lit up and she said, "Sisters are the ones who have the solution!"
