That night, grandma slept in the same room as Xiang Jin, but because Xiang Jin had to catch up on goods, Xiang Jin asked grandma to sleep first after everyone had washed up.
Because it was an assembly tool, not as simple as sawing a bamboo tube. Grandma had never done it before and couldn't do it, so she didn't dare to help. Instead, she followed Xiang Jin's words and took a rest first. However,
Before she went to bed, she still asked Xiang Jin not to do it too late.
Xiang Jin agreed, but she still worked until late at night. I don’t know whose roosters in Wan Tou were beaten until they crowed for the second time before she finished her work. She stood up, shook her clothes, and was about to turn around.
When she went out to fetch water to wash up, she heard her grandmother's voice suddenly ringing in the house.
"Why aren't you still asleep?"
Xiang Jin said, "I'll go to sleep right away."
Her grandmother nagged, "Children, don't stay up too late, go to bed early, so that your body will grow well. Look, it's been one more night now. If you are still working on that thing, you won't be able to make enough money."
Yes, your body is the most important thing, hurry up and sleep," she said, patting the empty couch next to her, and then moved her body into the bed.
"Oh, come on!" Xiang Jin responded, then quickly opened the door and went to the kitchen to get water to wash up.
People often say that "young people can't wake up in the first thirty years, and can't sleep in the next thirty years." This sentence really makes sense. Because he worked overtime the night before, it directly caused Xiang Jin to be almost asleep the next morning.
It was a quarter past seven and she still hadn't gotten out of bed.
It was later that Xiang Nan called her and told her that the time to catch the bus was coming soon, so she suppressed her sleepiness and sat up from the bed. While she was still staring in confusion, the little girl told her that Yan Chen was coming to their house.
After waiting, Xiang Jin's sleepyhead suddenly disappeared. She got out of bed and looked for clothes to wear today while accusing her, "Why didn't you wake me up earlier?"
The little girl said, "I wanted to call you earlier. I wanted to call you as soon as I got up, but grandma stopped me and said that you went to bed very late last night to catch up on the goods.
Come on, so you asked us not to disturb you and let you sleep a little longer."
Xiang Jin thought that after this busy period, she would have to sleep well for a few days, preferably until midnight.
Then she asked, "What about grandma and the others? Have they gone back?"
The little girl said, "No, grandma and mother went to the back mountain to cut bamboo. My uncle is sawing bamboo tubes for you at the head of the courtyard. They said they would prepare more goods for you before returning, so that you will not be too busy by then."
Xiang Jin felt warm in her heart, then she quickly changed her clothes, combed her hair and went out, only to find Yan Chen standing at the end of the courtyard talking to her uncle.
When he saw her coming out, he smiled and nodded to her. Xiang Jin quickly took the wash basin and wash handkerchief and went to the yard to get water to wash his face.
After washing up, she walked up to Yan Chen and asked him, "What time is it now?"
Yan Chen raised his wrist and looked at it, "It's about seven o'clock."
"Ah? It's already so late?" Xiang Jin was surprised and hurriedly went to the house to carry his things out. Then he urged him, "Let's go, let's go." If they didn't start, they would not be able to catch the train in time.
Yan Chen frowned and asked, "You don't want to eat?"
Xiang Nan and her second uncle were also there to remind her to finish her meal before setting off. Xiang Nan said that she had already left her meal to cool there before.
He waved his hand and said, "I won't eat, I won't eat. I'll go to the street to eat." After saying that, he picked up his backpack and set off first.
Yan Chen had no choice but to follow, and when he passed by their house, he asked Xiang Jin to wait for him on the side of the road while he went back to get something. Xiang Jin nodded and did not refuse.
Yan Chen went back very quickly and came back very quickly, and then Xiang Jin saw that there were two more things in his hand, one was a plastic bag containing two white flour buns, and the other was a glass water bottle more than half a foot tall.
.
Xiang Jin asked, "You haven't had breakfast yet?"
Yan Chen handed the plastic bag containing the steamed buns to her, "I've eaten it and brought it for you. Eat it while it's hot!"
"Bring it to me?" Xiang Jin was a little surprised.
Yan Chen nodded, "Well, let's cushion it first."
Xiang Jin was not polite to him. He stretched out his hand to take it and said, "But two are too many. One is enough for me. How about you take one too?"
Yan Chen shook his head and said, "Eat slowly, this steamed bun is not big. If you really can't finish it, just save it for later when you are hungry."
"Okay then," Xiang Jin held the bag and took a bite of one of the steamed buns. It was soft and chewy, with a hint of sweetness. Well, this steamed bun is delicious.
The two of them walked towards Jin and asked, "Is this steamed by Grandma Mo?"
"Well, my grandma steamed it."
"Then wouldn't Grandma Mo have to get up very early to make dough?"
Yan Chen said, "No, she made it last night, put it in the refrigerator, and steamed it this morning."
Xiang Jin was surprised again, "Do you still have a refrigerator at home?"
"Well, there is one, but it's not big. My uncle and aunt bought it for my grandpa when they came back two years ago. But my grandpa and grandma usually use it to store bacon. They said that the bacon has been kept outside for a long time.
It's easy to get angry when you eat it, but you won't be worried if you put it in the refrigerator."
Xiang Jin nodded, and then asked, "Haier refrigerator?"
"How do you know?"
Xiang Jin asked, "Isn't Haier refrigerator popular in this era? Because this Haier refrigerator has also been released by Haier Group, a well-known cartoon "Haier Brothers"."
Yan Chen laughed and said, "Yes, it is indeed so."
The two of them walked, and Xiang Jin finished eating a steamed bun. Yan Chen opened the water glass and handed it to her, "Here, drink some water to moisten your throat."
Xiang Jin reached out to take it and drank several sips. Then she closed the lid and tied the bag of steamed buns, then handed it to Yan Chen, "Please help me put it in the backpack."
"Don't want to eat?"
"It's ready!"
"Okay!" Yan Chen reached out and took it, then put the steamed buns and water cup into her basket.
Less than two minutes after the two arrived at Zaoerya, the car arrived. The two got on the car. Since they were not there today, there was still room in the car. They put down their backpacks and found a seat nearby to sit down.
, Xiang Jin said, "Fortunately, I left in time, otherwise I would have missed it."
Yan Chen smiled and said, "Yes, but there's no need to worry. It'll be the same if we set off later."
Xiang Jin was startled for a moment, then smiled, "Having said that, it's better to go as early as possible. Although you can catch the bus if you leave late, it will be very hot by then."
"Yes, what you said makes sense."
Xiang Jin said, "I estimate that the remaining five hundred sets can be handed over tomorrow. Let's talk to each other later so that he can be prepared?"
Yan Chen asked, "Have you finished paying the five hundred sets?"
Xiang Jin said, "It shouldn't be a problem. My uncle and my grandmother got up early this morning to help me get bamboo tubes. They said they would prepare more goods for me, so I don't have to prepare them myself.
I will be free to assemble the drill bit with you.
There will be a meeting in town tomorrow, and my mother is going to the market. She said she can help us bring some goods then. Production and transportation are not problems, so we should be able to deliver them all tomorrow."
Yan Chen nodded, "Okay!"
After arriving in town and delivering the goods, Xiang Jin and the others told Pan Zhengyang that they would deliver the remaining goods tomorrow. Pan Zhengyang said it was no problem, and then took out another list of 600 sets and handed it to them.
them.
Xiang Jin and Yan Chen were dumbfounded, and Xiang Jin asked, "Why is there still a list?"
Pan Zhengyang nodded and said, "Yes, I still have some orders. The supply and marketing cooperative in the next town transferred 400 sets of goods from me yesterday afternoon, and placed an order for another 400 sets. No, I'm here
Firstly, the goods need to be replenished, and secondly, the orders he has there also need to be completed."
Xiang Jin said with some embarrassment, "Oh, to be honest, President Pan, we have been really tired recently from rushing this product. Last night we worked overtime until three or four o'clock before going to bed, and today we have to deliver the goods to you early in the morning.
I still can’t cheer up until now.”
Then Pan Zhengyang said with a smile, "I know, I know, I know you have worked hard these days, but I only have to work hard for you for a while, and it will be fine after a while.
Oops, I can't help it. The person in charge of the supply and marketing cooperative in the next town is a friend of mine. It's hard for me to refuse a friend's request, so you can help me. I owe you a favor and I'll work hard for a few more days.
.
As for the delivery period, I can also give you a slight extension, just five hundred sets in two days, how about it, this is not too much, right?"
Xiang Jin looked at Yan Chen and gestured to him with his eyes to ask him whether he would answer or not.
To be fair, she wants to make this money, because in this era, it is really not easy to find a profitable business in such a corner of the country, and this business is very simple. She really wants to seize this opportunity and be able to make money.
To make as much money as possible, make as much money as possible.
But she also knows that because of this matter, Yan Chen has been delayed a lot of study time recently. He has always been a top student before, and Yagen doesn't care about making this little money, and the share she gives to others is not equal. She
I was really embarrassed to open that door again and encourage him to take the order.
Yan Chen seemed to see the reason for her hesitation and said, "Okay, let's take it, but it's only four hundred sets in two days."
Pan Zhengyang asked, "Why? Aren't you able to deliver five to six hundred sets a day?"
Yan Chen lied to him, "Because I have been too busy recently. The silkworms raised at home are about to mature, and the corn in the field is also mature and needs to be broken, so I really don't have that much time."
When he told the lie, his face did not turn red, but Pan Zhengyang was silent for a moment, and actually believed it, "That's right, haha, it's autumn harvest, okay, then four hundred sets in two days, but you have to give it to me in two days
Four hundred sets.”
"Can!"
Then the two parties signed another agreement.
Then the two of them went to the bank with the payment for the goods. Xiang Jin gave him the money he borrowed from him yesterday, and then teased him, "You didn't save it today?"
Yan Chen raised his lips and smiled, "Save!"
The two came out of the bank and bought some more things. Then Yan Chen asked her if she wanted to eat something?
Xiang Jin shook his head, "No, I'm not even hungry yet."
Then Yan Chen suggested, "Then go home?"
"Can!"
In the car, Xiang Jin put his head in front of Yan Chen and joked, "Why didn't I know that your family also raised silkworms? Your family's farmland seems to only have one piece of land, probably only two or three minutes.
, will be very busy?”
Yan Chen laughed and said, "My family is not busy, but your family is busy, so I have to set aside some time for you to rest."
Speaking of this time, Xiang Jin looked at him and his expression suddenly became serious, "By the way, will this delay your study time? We have been doing this one by one. I'm afraid you haven't read and studied well recently, have you?
"
Oops, I feel really guilty, what should I do?
Yan Chen said, "It doesn't matter. It's just a junior high school course. It doesn't take much time. Even if I don't make this small item, I usually just read some extracurricular books."
Xiang Jin gave him a thumbs up, "A top student is awesome!"
Yan Chen laughed and said, "Don't say that."
Xiang Jin said, "That's the truth!"
"The fact is, your grades are also very good!"
Then Xiang Jin waved his hand and said, "Oh, forget it, I won't trade business with you, otherwise it won't be over."
Yan Chen smiled and said, "I want to say that too."
Xiang Jin laughed, and his eyes turned into crescent moons. Yan Chen looked at her with a smile for a moment, and then moved his gaze to the window, but the smile in his eyes did not disappear for a long time.
