After breakfast, Gu Qi sent Xiaohuzi to school and then went to work.
Chen Bingxing still had to deliver fish and shrimp to the non-staple food store, so he didn't want to delay any longer and said goodbye in a hurry.
"Third brother, would you like to come over for lunch?" Chen Xingling called.
Chen Bingxing shook his head: "No, I can just eat at the construction site. I'll come back in the evening to pick up the fourth brother and his wife, so we don't have to make another trip!"
After he finished speaking, the tractor rumbled away.
Chen Jixing couldn't help but ask, "What about you? Don't you have classes today?"
When they got home last night, everyone happily surrounded the two of them and chatted excitedly.
The first thing his parents shared with him was that his younger sister was admitted to university and became the first college student in their family.
He was very surprised!
No one would have thought that the poor student sister would counterattack and become a top student in college, be admitted to Yucheng University, and bring honor to the Chen family.
Zhu Siya also thought it was remarkable that he could be admitted to university, so she turned around and asked him how much education he had received and whether his grades were good.
Chen Jixing explained truthfully that none of the brothers in his family had much education, and the youngest sister was the only one with the highest level of education, and it was only through the concerted efforts of everyone that she was "forced" to become educated.
After finally graduating from junior high school, she refused to study anymore, and everyone had no choice but to let her go.
Unexpectedly, she married a genius husband and suddenly became studious. Even though she was almost a mother, she managed to transfer to high school and was admitted to university in one go!
After hearing this, Zhu Siya immediately concluded that her sister-in-law was a very smart girl, and she would either not learn or achieve great success if she did.
"I have only two classes in the morning." Chen Xingling replied: "They are not very important classes. It doesn't matter if I miss them."
Chen Jixing couldn't help but worry: "With your perfunctory attitude, don't let others drop out of school!"
"It's okay." Chen Xingling said confidently: "I can definitely pass the exam easily by studying at night."
Zhu Siya on the side was even more certain that her sister-in-law was well-educated and extremely smart.
“Being able to go to college and start a business at the same time is really amazing!”
Chen Xingling waved his hand: "It's just the beginning, not worth mentioning."
"Oh!" Chen Jixing teased with a smile: "Why are you so modest all of a sudden? My sister-in-law told me that my brothers now sell fish and shrimp in the morning and come to your construction site to work and earn money in the afternoon. Are you going to lead us brothers to become rich?"
Chen Xingling rolled his eyes at him: "It's only 20 or 30 yuan a month, it's still a long way from making a fortune!"
"No." Chen Jixing thought it was quite good and explained, "We have fields and mountains behind our house. We grow our own rice and vegetables, and we have fish, shrimp and seafood every day. We are basically self-sufficient. Most of the wages can be saved. As long as the wages are stable, my brothers and my fifth brother will be able to save a lot of money sooner or later."
"Yeah." Chen Xingling lowered his voice: "I told them that when the weather is bad or too cold, they can just come to work for me. The income is more stable. After a few days, it's more than enough to save two or three hundred."
Chen Jixing smiled happily and praised her: "Our family has enough food and drink, this amount is good enough."
In the past, our family had no worries about food and clothing, and our finances mostly depended on my brothers selling fish and shrimp and doing odd jobs. However, the wages were too low and the jobs were not stable, so we were not able to save much money.
In recent years, most of the family's money was earned by him, which enabled them to build houses and buy tractors, greatly improving their economic level.
Life has to go on day by day, and it is impossible for everything to be smooth sailing all year round. However, he is often away from home and cannot take care of so many things.
Fortunately, my younger sister returned to Chongqing and settled down here. With her current financial situation and entrepreneurial ability, the families of my brothers will be more stable and have more hope for a happy life in the future.
Thinking of this, Chen Jixing was even more determined to help his sister make more money.
"Now that I'm a contractor and I can make a lot of money, I wonder if a little money would still be worth your attention?"
When Chen Xingling heard this, he didn't even bother to make tea and rushed forward happily.
"Fourth brother, what did you just say? Small money? Are you here to take care of your sister again? Fried noodles? Right?"
Chen Jixing glanced at her and scolded her with a smile: "You clever little thing! Your little brain works quite quickly!"
Zhu Siya, who was standing by, became excited and asked, "Little sister, do you still have that fried noodle? It's so delicious! My colleagues on the cargo ship also said they liked it, and they also said they all liked to eat it straight away at first, saying that the taste was better than biscuits - is that true?"
"Really." Chen Xingling explained, "Before getting wet, it was as crispy as a biscuit. It's impossible not to get wet at sea, so it won't last many days after opening the package."
Chen Jixing smiled bitterly: "That's true. After the tide, it can only be cooked, but the taste is still good. Siya eats boiled noodles."
"Only two or three times." Zhu Siya pouted: "The chef in the cafeteria said that they are all gone, not a single piece left."
Chen Jixing raised his chin and smiled: "What are you afraid of? Isn't Zhengyu here? As long as she is still willing to make some money, you won't have to worry about having nothing to eat."
"Yes, yes!" Chen Xingling excitedly hugged Fourth Brother's arm and asked, "Does Old Luo want to buy more fried noodles? Is that right?"
Chen Jixing deliberately looked up at the sky and smacked his lips a few times.
"The breakfast was a bit salty. I've been talking for a long time and my mouth is almost dry. Why is there not even a sip of tea? This is really poor hospitality."
Chen Xingling quickly turned around, made a large cup of tea, and brought it forward.
"Dearest Fourth Brother, the most fragrant and thirst-quenching tea is here!"
Chen Jixing secretly suppressed his laughter, slowly took it, and took a sip slowly.
"Hmm~~It's okay."
As soon as Chen Xingling heard it, he knew that the heat was not enough, so he quickly massaged his shoulders and arms.
"Fourth brother, to be honest, the industry I'm in is very hard. I have to run around to buy building materials, compare prices, run to the mountains and docks, and sometimes I almost break my legs in order to buy good things at a lower price. I'm busy during the day, and I have to settle accounts at night. I also have to coordinate and arrange workers to do a good job, and I have to rack my brains. This is not a big business at all, it's clearly hard work! If I could make a little money and get subsidies, then I wouldn't have to be so stressed, right? Please be kind and feel sorry for your sister."
Chen Jixing has always loved her the most, and he softened his heart all of a sudden.
"Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore. Before I got off the ship, Lao Luo stopped me and said that they would be going out to sea again after loading in a month or so, so he asked you to hurry up and make 20,000 pieces of fried noodles for the canteen warehouse."
Twenty thousand dollars? ! !
Chen Xingling's eyes suddenly lit up and he started to giggle.
"Really? Twenty thousand dollars?"
Chen Jixing nodded and explained, "Lao Luo said that everyone still likes fried noodles, but it's easy to get damp once you open them, so he asked you not to package them in 100 yuan packages, but 50 yuan packages instead. The price is still 1.7 yuan. He was busy going home, so he gave me 500 yuan and said he would pay the deposit first. As for the contract and the balance, he would deal with them together when he came back, and asked me to be the guarantor. He hadn't been back to his hometown for more than a day, and he was in a hurry. Although it's a bit against the rules, we know each other well enough, so just agreeing verbally will be fine."
"Okay! No problem!" Chen Xingling agreed readily.
Chen Jixing was a little worried and couldn't help asking, "It's only 23 or 24 days at most. Can you finish it in time? If not, let's just pay 10,000 yuan. Anyway, we haven't signed the contract yet, and Lao Luo only gave a verbal order. Just explain it. Don't work yourself to death!"
Chen Xingling laughed and patted his chest.
"Don't worry, we'll be able to make it in time. I can guarantee it."
A while ago, she was wandering around in the hyperspace and unexpectedly found a beautiful electric knife in the tool area. The slide belt moved smoothly and could even cut through iron sheets.
With it, she doesn't have to bother using scissors. She only needs to push the instant noodles packages through the door, then throw away the packaging bags and immediately take the noodles out to wait for packaging. Her efficiency can be increased by at least seven or eight times.
Seeing her confidence, Chen Jixing finally felt relieved.
"Just yell if you need help. We're all sitting around doing nothing at home anyway."
Chen Xingling shook his head: "No, no, your most important task now is to accompany Fourth Sister-in-law to enjoy the romance and prepare for the wedding sweetly."
"Hahaha……"
