Chapter 220: Money Makes You Stand Up Straight
Shen Anan came back just in time for the Shen family to move into their new house, and it was winter since the previous fire.
Fortunately, with the help of the villagers, the Shen family’s house was finally completed after half a year.
The Shen family's houses are all next to each other. Although there is a wall separating them due to the separation of the family, they still get along like one family.
Especially Zhou Ping and Li Cui'er, whenever they made something delicious, they would never forget to serve a bowl to Wang Sufen and Shen Laiyou.
Although they live separately, the warmth of family is even stronger.
This time, because the brigade had its own brick factory, Shen Yuancheng and Shen Yuanxing gritted their teeth and directly built a brick house.
The red brick and tile house is obviously more imposing. Since moving in, even the little ones in the family are very happy.
As for Shen Laiyou and Wang Sufen, because Shen Anan had free red bricks provided by the brick factory, and because Shen Yuanhao and Shen Yuanjia were still living at home, they directly built two floors.
Shen Anan also successfully owned a second-floor room with excellent lighting. Although there were not many pieces of furniture in it, Shen Anan felt very satisfied.
She was especially delighted after seeing the exquisite dressing table that Shen Yuanhao made for her.
The Shen family's housewarming party was simple, mainly inviting people who helped in the team to have a meal.
The dishes on the table were not exquisite, and could even be described as simple.
But the big slices of meat in the dish still made everyone praise it. After all, the Shen family did not accept any gifts, so this meal was completely a satisfying treat.
And Shen Anan took Wang Zhen and Xia Chunmei to visit her room.
"An An, this is so beautiful!" Xia Chunmei looked at the sunset outside the window with a somewhat obsessed look in her eyes.
"It's really beautiful." What Shen Anan was most satisfied with about this room was the large window that she had specifically asked for, which allowed the room to have better lighting.
Especially now that all the buildings in the brigade are bungalows, being able to stand in front of the second-floor window and enjoy the scenery is a very pleasant thing in itself.
Wang Zhen, on the other hand, focused his attention on the house itself.
"When I save enough money, I will also build a red brick house!" Wang Zhen made the bold statement.
This was not just wishful thinking on her part. During this period, she had taken a lot of orders for the brick factory, and not only could she get full work points, but she could also get a lot of commissions.
After becoming rich, Wang Zhen became more confident.
Even the group of people who wanted to make fun of the Wang family before now shut up.
Even those relatives of the Wang family came up to them and wanted to adopt Wang Zhen and Wang Xiaobao, but Wang Zhen simply chased them away with a broom.
"You are considered an internal employee. When the time comes, we will use our own bricks and tiles from the brick factory, and there is an employee price!" Shen Anan said with a smile, his eyes full of relief.
Wang Zhen’s transformation really surprised her. Although she had helped before, Wang Zhen stood up on his own.
"That's great, but as the director, you have to keep your word!"
"How can I deceive you?"
Shen Anan and Wang Zhen smiled at each other, but when they turned around, they found that Xia Chunmei was biting her lip with a conflicted look.
"You guys are so awesome, that's great!" Xia Chunmei's eyes were full of envy.
Although we were in the same team and often played together before.
But ever since Shen Anan and Wang Zhen got their own jobs, it seemed like they and I were from two different worlds.
Especially Wang Zhen, who was completely different from her previous reserved appearance.
On the contrary, the gap between me and them is getting bigger and bigger, and I can't even get a word in when they are talking.
"Chunmei, we are good friends. If you have anything on your mind, you can tell us." Shen Anan looked at the fatigue on Xia Chunmei's face and always felt that something was wrong.
Xia Chunmei opened her mouth and hesitated for a long time before she spoke out her troubles.
It turned out that ever since her brother got married at the beginning of the year, he had a lot of complaints about his unmarried sister-in-law.
Her sister-in-law always felt that Xia Chunmei was just eating for free at home, so she couldn't help but be unhappy with her from time to time.
However, her brother was unable to control his wife, and was instead provoked into alienating her. His attitude towards Xia Chunmei also changed.
Seeing the stalemate at home, Aqing Sao began to think about marrying Xia Chunmei off.
"I also earn work points every day, and now I dare not take an extra bite of food when I eat. I don't understand why she still can't tolerate me!" Xia Chunmei's eyes became red as she spoke.
She didn't want to get married in such a hurry just because of her sister-in-law's inexplicable targeting. It was too ridiculous.
That’s why when she looked at Shen An’an and Wang Zhen, she envied them so much.
If she could make money, she would be able to stand up straight and her mother wouldn't be in such a dilemma. Unfortunately...
"Chunmei, it's okay, don't cry first." Seeing this, Shen Anan quickly hugged her into his arms.
She hasn't been in the team for some time, so she doesn't know about the changes that have happened in the Xia family recently.
However, whether it is a brick factory or the subsequent furniture processing factory, in the short term, recruitment will still focus on strong laborers.
After all, it’s all physical work, and the sales positions are already full.
So although he wanted to help Xia Chunmei, Shen Anan really couldn't think of any good solution for a while.
"It's okay, An An, I'm just complaining a few words, don't take it to heart."
"It's all my fault today. It's a good day for you to move into a new house. Why are you saying this?" Xia Chunmei saw Shen Anan frowning, and quickly took out a handkerchief from her bosom and wiped the corners of her eyes.
She hadn't wanted to bring up this matter today. After all, An An had done enough for the team, and she couldn't let her worry about it.
And in fact, these days, under her mother's persuasion, she has actually accepted her fate.
Women have to get married anyway, so it’s better to get married early. Just in case you meet a good family, you will have hope for the future.
Shen Anan didn't say anything, thinking about things in his mind.
Xia Chunmei's words also reminded her of Zhou Ping and Li Cui'er's envy of men making money a few days ago.
They also said that if they were not too strong, they would also like to work as temporary workers to earn extra money.
Moreover, the current labor force is limited and most people have to do farm work, so it is a good idea to utilize the power of women.
But what can be done?
Shen Anan's eyes fell on the handkerchief in Xia Chunmei's hand, and suddenly his eyes lit up.
Got it!
Shen Anan thought about it, moved closer to Xia Chunmei, and expressed his idea.
The next day, Shen Anan went to the town and bought all the wool in the supply and marketing cooperative.
In the next few days, Xia Chunmei ran to Shen's house as soon as she got off work, and did not take it seriously no matter how much her sister-in-law ridiculed her.
Finally, a few days later, Shen Anan looked at the finished product in her hand and nodded with satisfaction.
"An An, is this really something I made? It's so beautiful!" Xia Chunmei looked at the finished product in surprise.
"Of course it's true, we succeeded!" Shen Anan stretched lazily.
