Gu Yi, relying on the fact that they were one of his own, curiously asked, "Sister-in-law, if they want to build a big garden, they must be a wealthy family. How much did they hire you for?"
Chen Xingling lowered his voice and said, "Several thousand yuan."
"Wow~~" Gu Yi exclaimed: "Then-then I should be able to make a lot of money, right?"
In this era when the average worker's salary is only a few dozen yuan, thousands of yuan is considered a huge sum of money, and several thousand yuan is a sum that only the super-rich can afford.
Chen Xingling shook his head: "I'm not sure yet, because he insisted on using good building materials and good wood. I just gave him a rough estimate based on the situation of my garden. I really don't know how much I can earn for the time being."
This is the truth, it's not that she doesn't want to say it.
Gu Yi smiled and said, "I feel like I can make a lot of money!"
"Alright!" Zhao Xiaoxing glared at him, "Why are you asking so many questions? My sister-in-law has already said she doesn't know for now! You are so rude, you dare to ask anything!"
Chen Xingling laughed softly: "It's okay, it's okay, we are all family."
"That's right!" Gu Yi laughed, "Sister-in-law is not an outsider, she won't care. Sister-in-law, wait until you are all done, then I will ask you. If you can make a lot of money, don't leave me out!"
Chen Xingling laughed loudly: "Don't worry, I will never leave you behind!"
Gu Yi walked in front and Zhao Xiaoxing walked on the side and behind, and the two of them soon disappeared into the night.
The moonlight was bright in the evening, and the two of them did not bring flashlights.
Gu Yi thought about the only flashlight whose battery was about to run out, and couldn't help but sigh: "When you get your salary, our family's financial situation will soon get better. I'll give all of my money to mom, and the rest can be used for daily expenses. You can save your salary."
"I...I have to hand in a part of my salary to your mother." Zhao Xiaoxing whispered, "Otherwise she won't agree to let me go to work."
Gu Yi sighed in annoyance: "Then - give her ten dollars."
He was very clear about what kind of person his mother was.
In recent days, she has been bullying Xiao Xing in various ways. He knows it in his heart, but she keeps saying that she feels dizzy and uncomfortable, and he can't tell whether it is true or not. He can only try to find a way to get Xiao Xing back as soon as possible.
Fortunately, my sister-in-law came to work just in time, otherwise Xiao Xing would have to continue to suffer.
Zhao Xiaoxing whispered: "My sister-in-law said that I should be paid the same as other workers. She said that only if I gave my mother-in-law 15 yuan would she let me go."
"Other workers?" Gu Yi couldn't help but ask, "About 40 yuan a month at most?"
Zhao Xiaoxing lowered her voice and said, "Sister-in-law's employment salary is more than five yuan a day. I heard from the craftsmen before that they can make about fifty yuan a month."
"Wow!" Gu Yi immediately became envious: "How can there be so many? Impossible, right? At most thirty or forty?"
Zhao Xiaoxing explained: "An extra five yuan a day means fifteen yuan for thirty days. My sister-in-law is very generous, so many workers are willing to come here to work. In the end, many people were vying to come!"
Gu Yi was a little bit incredulous: "Why would sister-in-law do this? Fifteen yuan for many people - that's a lot of money, isn't it? Is it that serious?"
"My sister-in-law said that the higher the salary, the faster the work will be done." Zhao Xiaoxing whispered, "My sister-in-law will not keep any lazy workers. The other workers saw this and worked very hard, doing a good and fast job. Master Mo said that many masters like to slack off, because they get paid day by day, so they will work as long as they can. But it's different here with my sister-in-law. I can smoke one cigarette a day and make five more dollars a day. A lot of people are scrambling to work just to stay. My sister-in-law said that the garden can be built so quickly because the masters work well and quickly, which can save some money."
"Yeah." Gu Yi nodded slowly: "That makes sense - that's what big brother said, the one with high efficiency!"
"Yes, yes!" Zhao Xiaoxing smiled apologetically, "My sister-in-law said the same thing. I can't remember this word and I forget it the moment I turn around."
Gu Yi looked up at the dark sky, dreaming: "If you can make 40 or 50 yuan a month, you don't have to be afraid to give my mother an extra 5 yuan. Save the rest and save it to buy a house in the future. Now we have to pay rent every month. It may not seem like that much in one or two months, but it will be a lot of money over a long period of time. Sister-in-law is right, we still have to have our own little nest."
Zhao Xiaoxing couldn't help but complain: "You are only three or four years older than your brother. He has been working for several years and still gets a very high salary. Look! Not only do your brother and his wife have a house in the shipyard, they also live in a beautiful big garden. What do you have? Nothing!"
"Hey!" Gu Yi glanced at her and explained, "I can't compare with my brother at all. He was smarter than me since he was young, and he didn't have to go to the countryside. Director Guo saw his design drawings and brought him to the factory to work. Later, he was able to study abroad - just for this reason, I will never be able to compare with him."
Zhao Xiaoxing muttered: "How can you think like that!"
"This is the truth." Gu Yiyu said, "There are some things that nature cannot compare to, such as talent. My sister-in-law used to live a very difficult life in her hometown without the help of her family. Now she is here, my brother loves her, and she can do whatever she wants. She studies and makes money, and with the help of her family, her life is getting better and better. In a family, the difference between one person making money and two people making money is very big..."
"You're disgusted by my inability to make money, aren't you?" Zhao Xiaoxing asked gloomily, "I haven't received any salary for the past two months, and although you don't say it, you're still blaming me in your heart, aren't you?!"
Forehead?
Gu Yi quickly stopped and said, "No, no! I didn't dare to think that way!"
"You did!" Zhao Xiaoxing choked with grievance: "That's what you just said!"
Gu Yi quickly came forward and coaxed her: "Xing'er, you are really wronging me. You don't go to work, you clean the bathroom and cook at home, you are not idle or lazy, right? How can I bear to blame you."
Zhao Xiaoxing said coquettishly: "But you still want me to go to work! That's what you meant!"
"Yes." Gu Yi smiled again and again, "I am - I'll tell you the truth. In the past, my brother was the only one earning money in the family, and we could still live a comfortable life, but it was almost the same for a few years, just enough to eat and spend. Until my sister-in-law came here, she started to make money, and my brother's life got better and better - it got too good! So I thought, while we don't have children yet, please help make money, and we can try to live a good life sooner."
"But I..." Zhao Xiaoxing murmured, "I can't compare with my sister-in-law. My sister-in-law is more cultured and knows more things than I do. Moreover, my sister-in-law loves her family so much, but I don't. My family expects me to send a few dollars back from time to time."
Gu Yi shook his head: "Don't say that. I didn't dare compare you with my sister-in-law, just like me and my elder brother. The levels are different, how can we compare? Right? Planes fly in the sky, bicycles walk on the ground, how can you compare them? Right?"
Zhao Xiaoxing lowered her head and asked in a low voice: "So, you don't blame me."
"Why would I blame you?" Gu Yi teased, "Don't compare me to my eldest brother, and I certainly won't compare you to my eldest sister-in-law! If there is no comparison, then we must never compare."
Zhao Xiaoxing laughed softly and said, "Anyway, you follow big brother and work hard, and I'll follow sister-in-law. I think we'll be able to live a good life soon."
"Yes!" Gu Yi held her hand and whispered with emotion: "This time last year, we were still looking for wild fruits in the mountains and coveting the pheasants in the ravine. You were worried that I would forget you when I returned to the city, and I was worried that the old lady at home would not let me marry you. Look! In less than a year, I have a formal job and we are married."
Although things are not as good as he wanted for now, he is already satisfied with the rapid progress in less than a year.
His elder brother and sister-in-law helped him to take care of two of the most important personal matters: finding a job and getting married. Suddenly, he felt a lot more relaxed!
Not only that, but the future path for others also becomes clearer and brighter.
Zhao Xiaoxing couldn't help but shed tears as she recalled the past, choking up: "Actually, I'm already very happy... I was able to marry you smoothly and find a job in the city. I couldn't eat meat for several months before. After I married you, I can eat meat every other day. I'm not greedy. In the future, we will have our own little nest in the city and raise a few little kids... I'll be satisfied if I can eat meat once every few days."
Gu Yi hugged her and shouted with great pride: "Don't worry, I promise our lives will get better and better! Buy a bicycle and live in a big house!"
"Ha ha……"
