411: New House Completed (Plus 21)

After being away for more than a month, Xia Xiaolan returned to the Shangdu.

The sun in Pengcheng is so poisonous and the sea breeze is strong. Although she is not tanned, her face is not so delicate.

When she returned to Shangdu with large and small bags, the vicious old lady Yu said that her face was rough, and Xia Xiaolan really had nothing to say to her grandmother. While complaining about her, you have to accept the gifts she brought back, why!

Xia Xiaolan brought back a gold ring to the old lady.

Those old gold shops in Yangcheng have opened again. 1 gram of gold is 42 yuan. Xia Xiaolan doesn't like gold jewelry very much, but she bought some as gifts. The gold ring given to Grandma Yu was 6 grams and cost more than 200 yuan. This time Grandma Yu didn't tell her the money.

Looking at the gadget in her hand, Grandma Yu sighed, "I haven't touched gold for many years."

When Yu's family went abroad, they all carried boxes of large yellow croakers.

The gold in Grandma Yu's hand was replaced by medicine and food in difficult times. At that time, I clearly knew that a small yellow croaker could not only exchange so much food, there was no way, people would starve to death with gold in their arms, and only by filling their stomachs could they survive. A pair of gold earrings was exchanged for three cakes, and after that, there was really no gold in Grandma Yu's hands.

Unexpectedly, after so many years, someone gave her a gold ring.

The one who gave the ring was Xia Xiaolan, who had nothing to do with her.

Xia Xiaolan also brought back a thin gold twisted silk bracelet to Li Fengmei. She didn't buy it with money, but Liu Yong gave it to her.

15 grams of gold, the bracelet is very thin, in fact it is more than 600 yuan, Li Fengmei can buy it herself, it was brought back by Liu Yong and Xia Xiaolan, and the meaning is different.

"You still have a conscience!"

First, I stayed in Beijing for more than two months. After returning home, I took a break and went to Pengcheng. I went there in early June, and it was September in a few days. I didn't come back for three months. Liu Yong can't walk away. He has no experience and has not trained a competent assistant. He doesn't feel relieved if he doesn't stare at him. First, it was the decoration of the guest house, and then the building materials store. Liu Yong also missed his wife and son very much. There was no way to do business.

How do you make money without doing it yourself?

Workers are not robots. After setting the program, they will work for obediently, so they won't cheat or cheat?

Also be optimistic about the materials, they will be taken away and sold.

Or do not install it according to the drawings, and you have to rework it in the end!

Li Fengmei was angry, and Xia Xiaolan had to say good things for Liu Yong. Ma Wei hired by the clothing store has long since turned positive. Before Liu Fen went to Yangcheng, the store hired another girl. Liu Fen and Li Fengmei only needed one person to go to the store every day. Both of them said that they lived like capitalists. . But as Xia Xiaolan said, if you hire an employee, the monthly salary plus bonus will not exceed 100 yuan, but Li Fengmei and Liu Fen are not so busy and tired.

"Your time is more than worth the dozens of dollars!"

Li Fengmei was puzzled, "Then what are you and me doing in our spare time?"

Xia Xiaolan thought for a while and asked Liu Fen, "I have wanted to discuss this with you for a long time. Do you want to accompany me to live in the capital, or stay in the Shangdu?"

It's okay to take your mother to the university. If you find a house near the school, you can settle Liu Fen. When Xia Xiaolan took Liu Fen away from the Xia family, she said that she would not leave her mother, and Liu Fen would go wherever she went.

But Liu Fen has lived in Shangdu for more than half a year. There are clothing stores she is familiar with, Grandma Yu who gets along with her day and night, Li Fengmei, and neighbors who have become familiar with Liu Fen. Xia Xiaolan wanted Liu Fen to follow him to the capital, but she warned herself not to be too selfish. When she arrived in the capital, Liu Fen had to start building relationships again.

Sure enough, Liu Fen's expression was hesitant.

"What can I do in Beijing?"

Waiting for Xiaolan to finish class at home every day? I heard that college students live in the school, and they may not be able to go home after class. Xiaolan also has her own classmates and friends, and Liu Fen can't stay at home alone. People who were used to being busy in the past were not used to telling her to stop. The city was not like the countryside. People who didn't have a job would just idle around all day.

Liu Fen is very like following her daughter, she is satisfied if she can take care of Xiaolan.

But her daughter is so capable, she doesn't seem to need her care?

"Okay, I understand, then you can stay in Shangdu first. I will go to the capital to explore the way this semester and see what you can do."

Even if the branch of 'Blue Phoenix' was to be opened in the capital, Xia Xiaolan had to go to inspect the market and secure the storefront. Yangcheng is farther from the capital, and it is not so easy to open a branch. Xia Xiaolan is not in a hurry.

This time, she brought back from Yangcheng not only the autumn clothes that Blue Phoenix wants to sell, but also 3,000 sets of sportswear.

Li Fengmei asked if the clothes were sold in the store. Xia Xiaolan shook her head: "Let Ma Wei and the new clerk take them out and sell them for 20 yuan a set. Whoever sells more will get the higher bonus!"

The store is also quite busy, and I have two clerks who don't make good use of it. I'm sorry for the reputation of black-hearted capitalists.

...

On August 26, Xia Xiaolan, a black-hearted capitalist, took her mother back to Qijing Village.

Seeing her come back, Gong Yang was really relieved.

"Miss Xia, this house is overrun."

Gong Yang couldn't afford the wages owed to the villagers, that is to say, the villagers believed that the college students would not default on their debts, otherwise the house would have been shut down long ago.

The people in the village don't understand, everyone else builds small western-style buildings, but Xia Xiaolan builds old houses with black tiles and white walls. There is no such house in the village. They have seen similar styles in Baixi Temple! Digging a pond in the yard, what kind of bamboo is still planted? Gong Yang, a college student, asked someone to go to the reed ditch to dig a few reeds and plant them in the small pond. The villagers really don’t see Xia Xiaolan’s house.

Understand.

It cost tens of thousands of dollars to build a small western-style building with tiles on the outside!

This house is not bad-looking, but the villagers feel that the style is not fashionable enough.

Xia Xiaolan was quite satisfied.

The house is not an ancient house, and a lot of red brick and cement are used, but it is a bit antique. It has white walls and black tiles, and the leaves of the transplanted bamboo are still yellow, and it will be almost a few months old. In addition to red brick cement, a lot of wood is also used. At this time, the wood is very cheap, and the solid wood is not high-grade. The compressed board has craftsmanship, which is a new thing.

If it weren't for the cheap materials and labor, this house would not be able to be repaired for more than 20,000 yuan.

The edges and corners have to be trimmed, and the general effect is presented. The last step in building a house is to "up the beam", which is the highest piece of COFCO on the roof. The host's family must be there when the beam is installed, and it is necessary to calculate the time. The young men in the village put a log as thick as a thigh on the roof. According to the custom, they must give red envelopes to the person who is on the beam, and there are many children below. huddled together.

When the beams are installed, melon seeds and peanuts and fried beans are sprinkled from the roof below. The people below spread their clothes out desperately to pick them up. These roasted seeds and nuts are also mixed with coins. Xia Xiaolan felt that the coins for "cents" were too few, the smallest being 1 cents. The children who grabbed the coins were all excited and shouting, and the joy was even more lively than the Chinese New Year!

Liu Zitao's neck was sore.

Seeing Chen Qing talking to Xia Xiaolan, Liu Zitao immediately thought of Zhou Cheng's brother-in-law's instructions.

Do you want to report this kind of enemy situation to your brother-in-law?

#####Good night, alright
