In the evening self-study class that day, Xiang Jin and the others had just walked into the classroom and sat down for a while when the head teacher, Teacher Hu, walked in and said to everyone.
"Your school uniforms have been prepared and are now in my office. Liu Changxing, please ask a few classmates to follow me to the office to move them and then bring them up and distribute them to everyone."
"Oh, it's all done? So fast," basically as soon as Teacher Hu finished speaking, the students in the classroom started talking about it.
"That's right, it's pretty fast. I really want to see it right now," someone echoed.
Liu Changxing stood up from his seat, and after saying "yes" to Teacher Hu, he asked several students in the class who were usually close to him to go downstairs to move clothes.
Liu Changxing and the others were very fast. They carried several large bags of clothes in twelve minutes, and then the head teacher left Liu Changxing and another boy.
"I have sorted the clothes in advance according to the sizes ordered by each of you, and marked each of your names on each garment bag. Now you can put those clothes according to the name on the garment bag.
Distribute the clothes to everyone, this is a roll call, and everyone who receives it, you can check the back." After saying that, he handed a booklet to Liu Changxing, and then stood aside.
Liu Changxing and Liu Changxing nodded, and then they saw Liu Changxing standing on the podium and said, "Now that we call someone's name, that person will come up and collect his clothes?"
The people below all nodded in agreement, and then the boy who distributed the clothes said, "Wang Xiaofeng."
Then a boy stood up from his seat and walked up. The male voice distributing clothes handed the two sets of clothes bags stacked together to the boy named Wang Xiaofeng.
Liu Changxing, who was on the side, found Wang Xiaofeng's name on the roll call list given to him by the head teacher, then put a check mark next to it, and followed the boy who distributed clothes to call the next person's name.
Just like that, one by one shouted, and one by one went up to receive it, and then one by one, after receiving their own clothes, they returned to their seats and opened them directly, and then looked through them carefully.
It still took nearly half an hour for those clothes to be completely distributed to everyone.
Seeing that it was as lively as a vegetable market, the head teacher, Mr. Hu, walked to the podium again and said to everyone, "Now that everyone has received their clothes, you can check them all carefully."
, see if there are any damaged areas or severely polluted areas, if so, tell me so that I can report it to others and ask them to replace it for you."
Then someone said from below, "My clothes are not stained or damaged."
"I don't get it either."
"Me too, okay!"
.......
Everyone was talking to each other in the classroom, and then the bell rang. Then everyone quickly stuffed their clothes into their desks and locked them, and then rushed out of the classroom like a swarm.
After returning to the dormitory after evening self-study, Xiang Jin threw the two sets of clothes into the basin, soaked them, and then washed them, and Yan Chen did the same.
Little did they know that when they were doing morning exercises the next morning, they were the only two people on the playground who were not wearing school uniforms. The physical education teacher, Teacher Zhang, asked them, "All the students in the school have changed their uniforms, why don't you two wear school uniforms?"
?”
Both of them replied in unison, "Wash it."
Teacher Zhang looked at the two people for a moment, and then said, "You will wear school uniforms after they are dry?"
Xiang Jin nodded, but Yan Chen remained silent. Teacher Zhang probably knew that Yan Chen was an indifferent person, so he didn't care whether he responded or not, and then left directly.
After the morning exercises were over, Xiang Jin and the others went back to the classroom to read. Luo Qiuyan asked her, "Hey, Xiang Jin, when we were doing morning exercises, I saw Teacher Zhang walking behind you, and then she seemed to say something to you.
What did he say to you?"
Xiang Jin said, "It's nothing, just asking why Yan Chen and I are not wearing school uniforms."
"Oh, by the way, why aren't you wearing school uniforms?" Luo Qiuyan nodded. Several girls accompanying them also wanted to know why they were not wearing school uniforms when everyone was wearing them.
Xiang Jin said, "Our school uniforms have been washed."
"Washed? Why did you wash it? The new school uniforms are here. You didn't even wear them, and you just washed them?" someone asked after him.
Xiang Jin said, "Although they are new clothes, they are not necessarily clean. Think about it, first of all, the clothes are made of cloth before they are made. The cloth has been kept in the warehouse in rolls and rolls for who knows how long.
, and I don’t know how much dust has accumulated on it.
Then when the clothes are being made and cut by others, they have to be touched by others, right?"
Then everyone nodded.
Xiang Jin continued, "While sewing, it must have been touched by others, and maybe the fabric would be dragged to the ground."
Everyone nodded again.
Xiang Jin then asked, "You have to be touched by others when you are inspecting it, right? And then you have to be touched by others when you pack it, right?"
Everyone nodded again.
Xiang Jin continued, "So think about it, after all these processes, how many people's hands will the clothes have to go through? For example, some people have sweat on their hands, and some people don't even have their hands after eating or blowing their noses.
After washing, I started sewing the clothes directly, so, can the clothes be clean?"
Everyone shook their heads in unison, and then some people frowned, "Oh my god, Xiang Jin, after hearing what you said, I also feel that these clothes are so dirty?"
Luo Qiuyan said, "Yes, I think so too. It seems that if I buy new clothes in the future, I will have to wash them before wearing them."
Xiang Jin concluded, "So, we took these clothes back last night and washed them directly."
Someone asked Xiang Jin, "Hey, Xiang Jin, Xiang Jin, do you always wash the new clothes you buy before wearing them?"
Xiang Jin nodded, "Yes, you have to wash them before wearing them."
"Are you and Yan Chen the same?" someone asked again.
Xiangshu nodded again, "Ah, we all have to wash it before putting it on, otherwise we will feel uncomfortable all over."
Someone said, "You are called mysophobia."
Someone nodded, "Well, that's right, mysophobia!"
Xiang Jin nodded slightly, "Maybe a little."
Then a discordant voice suddenly came from the side, "Pretentious!"
When everyone saw that it was Zhang Xiaoxia, they all fell silent. Xiang Jin stared at her coldly, "What's wrong with me being pretentious? If you like being sloppy, that's your business. If I like to be clean, you don't care."
Do you get it?"
"You?" Zhang Xiaoxia turned around and stared at her.
Xiang Jin rolled his eyes angrily, then turned cold and glared at her, "What are you? Am I wrong?"
Because of her first few losses, Zhang Xiaoxia did not dare to confront Xiang Jin, so she pursed her lips tightly and stared at her displeased.
Xiang Jin glanced at her angrily and continued walking forward!
Yep, she's such an idiot. She doesn't even know that her nerves are wrongly configured. She keeps trying to get through it, but every time she fails to win, she humiliates herself!
They are two people with a normal mind. After suffering two losses at her own hands, they will let the smart ones stop provoking them again, just like Liu Changxing and Liao Yihong. Last time, she gave both of them a hard kick.
After that, the two people now walked directly around him.
Unlike her, who took the initiative to seek presence in front of her every time, and was taught a lesson by herself every time, and she did not remember the lesson long. To be honest, she doubted whether she had any sense of shame. If she did, how could she do it again?
It’s not pleasant to have them delivered to your door again and again!
What a sick mind!
After having lunch at noon, Xiang Jin and the others casually asked the owner of the canteen when they were leaving the canteen, "Boss, how many kilograms of vegetables do you use in a day?"
The boss quickly looked at her with a vigilant expression, "Why do you ask this?"
Xiang Jin immediately understood the meaning of his eyes, so he hurriedly explained, "Oh, don't get me wrong. I never calculated how much profit you can make in a day. That's it, our family
I grow some vegetables to sell, I just want to know
Let’s take a look at how many vegetables a canteen or restaurant of your size can consume in a day, so that I can advise my family to control and grasp the amount of vegetable planting. Don’t plant too much and be unable to sell it.
Wouldn’t that be bad?”
The boss immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "Oh, so that's it?"
Xiang Jin said, "Isn't that just like this? It's not as complicated as you think? Besides, you are running a business and you are not a charity, so you must make money? Why should I calculate how much you earn?"
How much did it cost?”
The boss was a little embarrassed, and then said, "Actually, it's not much. The total of three meals may only be about 100 kilograms of vegetables. As you know, we mainly steam steamed buns in the morning and need some vegetables."
, probably only about twenty kilograms,
For dinner, we all eat noodles and stir-fry saozi, which is about the same amount as in the morning. Our family uses the most vegetables in the day, which is the lunch meal, two dishes and one soup. Each dish weighs about 20 kilograms, and one soup
It only weighs about ten kilograms."
Xiang Jin nodded, "Okay, I understand, thank you!"
The boss suddenly asked, "Hey, little girl, what kind of vegetables are you growing at home?"
Xiang Jin said, "It's hard to say the details now. I'll tell you when I grow up."
"Oh, you still want to keep it a secret?" The boss immediately joked after hearing her tone.
Xiang Jin also smiled and said, "Yes, we'll keep it a secret for now." After saying that, she followed Yan Chen out of the cafeteria door.
Yan Chen said, "You don't want to develop them into our customers, do you? They can't do it, the dosage is too small, and they can't go to our place to collect the food themselves."
Xiang Jin said, "I know, I don't plan to develop them into our customers. I was wondering if there is such a possibility in the town middle school?"
Our combined dishes may produce hundreds or even thousands of kilograms every day, so the average customer will really not be able to eat it.
I think there are more people in the town, both in terms of the number of teachers and students, than in our school."
After hearing this, Yan Chen thought for a while and said, "Let's understand it first and then talk about it. For example, its business model, is it self-operated by the school or a contracted one? If it is self-operated, who is responsible for purchasing the ingredients?
If contracted, is it contracted to one person or subcontracted to several people?
Also, how is the meal capacity in this canteen?"
Xiang Jin said, "Well, we only release it once every two weeks, so it's not very convenient to inquire."
Yan Chen said, "It's okay. Isn't my grandpa coming to give me clothes in two days? I'll tell him then and let him find out more."
Xiang Jin said, "They are going to build a greenhouse next, so they probably won't have much time to run down the street." Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind, and she became happy, "Oh, how could I forget this?"
Sorry, it's not convenient for your grandpa to go and inquire about it, but my mother and I
But my uncle and the others can do it. They are in town every day, and many students eat there every day. It is easier for them to inquire. I think this is what we will do. When the time comes, we will tell Grandpa Zeng and let him
Grandpa Zeng went to tell my mother and them."
After hearing this, Yan Chen nodded, "Well, this is okay."
"Oh, hurry up, I have to go back and wash the clothes." There were several pieces, and she had soaked the clothes in the basin in the morning.
Both of them quickened their pace, and Yan Chen asked, "Have you soaked all those clothes?"
Xiang Jin shook his head, "No, I just soaked the two sets of thermal underwear and a set of sweaters and woolen pants. I plan to wash the remaining set of sweaters, woolen pants and jacket tomorrow. Alas, you seem to have soaked your clothes there too.
?”
Yan Chen nodded, "Well, those new sets of thermal underwear I bought yesterday."
Xiang Jin then asked, "Oh, by the way, do you have extra clothes drying racks? If so, lend me a few. I don't seem to have enough. I'll go shopping on the street after dinner in the afternoon."
Yan Chen nodded, "Yes, I will give it to you later."
When the two returned to the dormitory, they found that her cousin Yang Hui was also doing laundry. Xiang Jin said "Hey", "Why did you come back so early? Have you had lunch?"
Yang Hui nodded while washing the clothes in his hands, "Yes, I have eaten. I eat quickly today."
Xiang Jin nodded, walked to the table to put the dishes, then walked to the side and started washing clothes.
After Yan Chen put down the dishes and lunch boxes, he didn't rush to do the laundry, but asked, "How many hangers do you want?"
"Three, I have three more over there."
Yan Chen didn't reply to her, and went directly back to the house to get the clothes hanger.
Yang Hui asked, "Don't you have enough hangers? I have some there. I bought a handful in the town yesterday. There are twenty-five of them. I can't use them all. I'll get some for you later."
"Really? That's so good, I'm too lazy to buy it," Xiang Jin suddenly felt happy. To be honest, she even thought it was troublesome to go to the street just for a few clothes drying racks.
Yan Chen took out a handful of clothes hangers and handed them three to Xiang Jin. Xiang Jin reached out and took them, and Yan Chen also started to wash his clothes.
Seeing that Yang Hui had soaked two basins, he casually asked, "Washing so much?"
Yang Hui said, "There is also Yang Zhao's."
Xiang Jin said, "This is the disadvantage of being the boss. You have to do all the work for the younger ones."
Yan Chen just laughed, "Who told you to be so diligent?!"
Xiang Jin thought for a while, "That's right. It's mainly because my heart is too kind. If I had a harder heart, I would be the boss. If I don't help Xiang Lan do the work, I still won't do it. There's no rule saying that I should be the boss."
Does the boss have to suffer?
Only Xiang Lan, the heartless one, still thinks that I should give her what she wants, and always negotiates terms in front of me. To be honest, sometimes I really want to beat her up, but that little girl is very good at seeing things.
The look in my eyes made it impossible for me to find a chance to make a move every time."
Yang Hui and Yan Chen both laughed, and Yang Hui said, "It's not convenient for Yang Zhao to dry his clothes over there, so I asked him to bring his clothes to be washed here."
"They don't have a drying place over there?"
Yang Hui shook his head, "No, in fact they still have a large area dedicated to drying clothes, but they often lose clothes there."
"Ah? There is such a thing?" Xiang Jin was surprised.
"Well, I heard that their clothes were lost several times last week. A second-year junior high school student who lives in the same dormitory as Yang Zhao washed a pair of sneakers and hung them outside to dry, but they were stolen."
"Hey, you stole a pair of stinky shoes. Isn't this person who steals things so out of style?" Xiang Jin complained.
Yan Chen said, "If you have style, how can you become a thief?"
"That's true!"
Then Yang Hui told them another thing, "The second uncle and the second aunt decided to transfer Yang Xu and Yang Xin to the town primary school to study."
"Really? They made a decision so quickly?" Xiang Jin was stunned for a moment and the movements of his hands stopped.
Yang Hui nodded, "Well, they said that they usually don't go home and are busy in the town. There is only one child at home. They are not worried about it, so they simply transfer them to the town primary school to study, and leave them like that.
Under their noses, they can rest assured. Anyway, the town is only about ten minutes' walk from our shop, and it is right behind our shop. It can be reached by walking around the residential area, so there is no need to worry.
It’s very safe to cross the road.”
Xiang Jin nodded, "Yes, what about their accommodation at night?"
Yang Hui said, "I will live in the store. My second uncle went to buy a camp folding bed. My dad and my second uncle will take turns sleeping on the folding bed. The two brothers will sleep on their original bed."
.”
Xiang Jin nodded, "At present, they are still young, so they can still arrange it this way. However, if they are older, when they are twelve or thirteen years old, living in a cubicle with three people may be a bit crowded and make them look small."
"Well, yes! You may have to rent a house by then," Yang Hui nodded.
Xiang Jin said, "Well, cousin, I have a suggestion. When the time comes, you can go back and discuss it with your two uncles and aunts. That is, you can stop repairing the house at home and just buy one in the town.
A piece of foundation is enough to build a house in the town. Last time I asked, the price of a piece of land just up there towards the county seat was only about 600 to 800 yuan per acre.
Let me tell you that it is still cheaper to buy homestead land in the town now, because most people are still economically backward and no one has that awareness. Moreover, if you buy it now, you can still choose a good piece of land.
As the economy continues to develop and grow, and people's lives become more and more prosperous, housing prices in the town will definitely rise. As the saying goes, a rising tide lifts all boats, and the price of homestead land in the town will definitely rise as well.
To be honest, from a long-term perspective, if you want to keep running that business and rent a house in the town, it would be more convenient to buy a homestead and build a house according to your own wishes. No matter you in the future,
It was my second uncle and the others who started their business in the town too late, so they just stayed in the town."
Yang Hui was very moved after hearing what Xiang Jin said, "Okay, then I will go back and tell my parents, my second uncle and my second aunt to take a look."
Yan Chen had a different opinion, "I think you can ask the landlord first. Didn't he go to the provincial capital to open a store?
Xiang Jin, you can ask your mother to check out the landlord first to see how their business is doing in the provincial capital. Then if they have any plans to return to their hometown in the future, if not, ask them if their house is for sale.
Sell it. If it's sold, you can just take it over. Doesn't his house have a second floor? People can live there directly. It's ready-made!
The key is that the location of the place is good, and the place is quite big. The space occupied by one floor is seventy or eighty square meters. If you want to rebuild it, build several floors above it.
No? Then even if the three of you live together, it will be enough."
Xiang Jin was immediately surprised and said, "Hey, your suggestion is very good, why didn't I think of it? Yes, we can ask the landlord first, in case his business is doing well in the provincial capital.
You can’t bear to come back, right? Then we can miss something again, right?
Okay, then when Grandpa Zeng comes, I will ask him to take a message to my mother and ask her to contact the landlord first. She has the contact information of their family in the provincial capital that the landlord left for her before he left.
of."
"Yeah," Yan Chen nodded.
Xiang Jin suddenly thought of something again, and she felt extremely excited. She had to discuss this matter with Yan Chen, but because Yang Hui was present, she had to endure it.
After a while, Yan Chen finished washing the clothes, and Yang Hui also started to clean the clothes. Xiang Jin said, "Are you really fast?"
Yan Chen smiled and said, "I don't have many clothes."
Yang Hui said, "I wash it before you do."
Xiang Jin glanced at Yan Chen's basin and saw that he only had two sets of thermal underwear, so he nodded, "Okay."
"It's okay, wash slowly, there is still time," Yan Chen comforted her, and then went to the balcony to dry the clothes.
Xiang Jin was not comforted because her sweater was so heavy after being soaked in water that she could not twist it.
Yan Chen glanced at it from the corner of his eye and said, "You wash the other clothes first. I can't twist the sweater later!"
After hearing what he said, Xiang Jin raised the corners of her mouth and revealed a sweet smile, "Okay, then I'll thank you?" After saying that, she decisively poured the sweater and pants into the laundry.
On the stage, she immediately started cleaning her two sets of thermal underwear.
After Yan Chen dried her clothes, she came over and washed her sweater and pants directly.
Xiang Jin sighed, "Oh, you boys have really strong hands. You can wring the clothes dry in just a few strokes. Unlike us girls, even thicker clothes are troublesome to hold on to."
Yan Chen helped her dry the clothes, and Xiang Jin followed. Then he asked with a smile, "Then how did you wash thick clothes in the past?"
Xiang Jin lied and said, "In the past, I rarely washed thick clothes. My mother did it. I always washed thinner clothes, and occasionally washed one or two pieces of thick clothes. I never washed them."
To wring out the water, I just put them directly in the basin and squeeze the water out little by little, and then squeeze out a little water and pour a little out until they are squeezed dry."
Yan Chen heard what she said and said, "No wonder you are so patient and persistent."
Xiang Jin said, "There's nothing I can do, I can't twist it." In fact, what she said was how she washed clothes when she was a child in her previous life. Later, when she grew up, she didn't wash clothes by hand. She just threw them in the washing machine.
, or else you have to take it to a dry cleaner, that is, you only wash it by hand every time you wash your underwear and underwear, and you are not allowed to use force to twist it.
Yan Chen glanced at her hands. It was strange that such small hands could twist thick clothes.
