Reborn 1980: Marry a rough soldier

Aunt Liu said: "That's really a trick. My husband's factory has a worker who has an accident at home and is in a hurry to sell the house."

Xia Jin said: "Where is the house?"

Aunt Liu said: "On the side of Weinan Road, it's not the buildings in front. Going all the way from Weinan Road, there are the independent small courtyards at the back. The location is very good, not only close to the school, but also next to several factories. There are people selling things there. It’s very convenient to live there. All the people living there are factory workers, so safety is guaranteed.”

Xia Jin thought silently: "Weinan Road is across the street from the Xia family's house, and the factory where the Xia family works is also far away. This place is really good."

Xia Jin asked: "I don't know when you can take me to see the house."

Aunt Liu said: "I will go back and ask my husband and I will give you a letter tomorrow at noon. But Xia Jin's house is not cheap. Do you have enough money now?"

Xia Jin smiled and said: "That's enough, aunt. My grandmother left me a jade pendant before. After I came out to live alone, I sold the jade pendant. I don't know what to do with the money, and I'm afraid of losing it. So hurry up and buy a house so that even if you have no money in the future, you can still have a place to stay.”

Aunt Liu said: "You are right to think so. I will go back and ask about that, and I will give you a letter tomorrow."

Xia Jin said: "Thank you, Auntie, I'm sorry to trouble you."

Aunt Liu said: "It's all the neighbors who say it's troublesome or not."

Xia Jin and Aunt Cuihong walked Aunt Liu to the door together. After watching her walk away, Xia Jin turned to Aunt Cuihong and said, "Aunt, I want to thank you too today." Xia Jin knew that she had just arrived at noon. Aunt Liu came over in the afternoon when she proposed to buy a house. Aunt Cuihong must have gone over and said it right after lunch, taking her words to heart.

Aunt Cuihong said: "Thank you, thank you. It's a convenient thing."

The two of them returned to the yard and sat down. Xia Jin said, "Auntie, help me find someone to work with you. I'm not familiar with this place. You know whichever house you've lived in is quick and diligent."

Aunt Cuihong said: "Xiaoxia, you have just started a business. You don't have much money, so you should save money. I can live by myself."

Xia Jin said: "Auntie, I thought it was easy before. You see, you have to do so many things, and you can't do the laundry and the like. That's why I want to find someone else. And I chop my arms every day. It will be very painful, recruit another one and you two will take turns."

Aunt Cuihong said: "Okay, what do you think of Aunt Liu? In their family, Brother Liu is the only one who makes money, and there are two children to support. Sister Liu is very quick in doing things, and she is also a good person. We have been living in the neighborhood for so many years, and we have never had any quarrels with anyone. Speaking of which, you have met her youngest son, the child who brought you to our home."

Xia Jin thought about it and said, "That's the child. Then let her do it first, and if it doesn't work, we'll talk about it later. I'll give you both the same salary, one dollar each."

Aunt Cuihong said happily: "Okay, okay, I'll go over and tell her right away."

Xia Jin said: "Auntie, don't be busy first. I'll tell you what you need to do tomorrow, and you can just lead Aunt Liu to do it together tomorrow."

"We must eat and drink cleanly, wash our hands before cooking, and our clothes must also be clean."

"I have to go to school tomorrow, so I leave all the previous preparations to you two. Then you need to make fish tofu, fish balls and meat balls before I come back. There are two kinds of fish tofu and fish balls. One kind is fried and the other is not fried. Cut various kinds of meat into slices, and then the meat will be marinated when I come back."

"After that, there are vegetables that need to be chopped. Thinly slice potatoes and lotus roots, and cut and skewer all kinds of vegetables."

Aunt Cuihong asked: "How to skewer."

Xia Jin said: "For example, potato slices and lotus root slices can be skewered with three slices on a stick. For cabbage, rapeseed and the like, just skewer them horizontally, and only two or three slices per skewer will be enough. There are also fish, tofu and the like, wait for me. Go buy a rectangular glass mold, steam it and cut it into squares. Make three skewers and cut them in half, so there are six pieces per skewer."

"There are also things like mushroom bean curd and qianzhang bean dip, just like vegetables. Don't make the stick look too empty."

After hearing this, Aunt Cuihong said: "Okay, I understand."

Xia Jin thought for a while and said: "I have bought all the seasonings and other ingredients to be used and put them in the house. I will run a stall at noon tomorrow, so I will only cook for one morning. Then I will put them in when I go to school tomorrow morning. Buy the things in advance, and you just have to wait to deal with them.”

Aunt Cuihong said: "I understand."

Xia Jin said: "Oh, I forgot to mention, wages are paid once a day. That's all you need to pay attention to. I have to go to school this afternoon, so I'll leave first. Aunt Cuihong, don't forget to inform Aunt Liu. "

Aunt Cuihong said: "Then go quickly, I will tell Sister Liu later."

Xia Jin returned to school just as the first class was over. As soon as she entered the classroom, she heard Chen Xin's surprised voice, "Xia Jin, you are finally here. I thought you weren't coming."

Xia Jin said: "I don't want to do it, but the teacher won't let me."

Chen Xin curled her lips and said unhappily: "You don't know, after you left, they kept saying bad things about you."

Xia Jin said: "Let them talk. My main focus is on making money now. I will take care of them when I find time."

"Besides, if you believe the unfounded things they told me and just blame me, it better proves that they are not suitable to be friends with me. I would also like to thank Xia Qingqing and the others."

"Look, don't you believe it?"

Chen Xin said: "Of course, you are my good friend. But Ajin, will it affect your studies if you are late and leave early all day long?"

Xia Jin said: "It's okay, I'll just be busy for this month, and then I'll be fine. Besides, don't I still have you? When my stall is set up, I'll treat you to delicious food."

Chen Xin said: "Then I will wait. You have made a lot of money, but don't forget me who diligently copies notes for you every day."

Xia Jin said: "I will never forget you. You are my first good friend."

"Hehe, I knew we two would be the best."

Xia Jin said: "Get it done quickly, class will begin soon."

Xia Jin attended classes all afternoon and went home after eating outside.As soon as they entered the door, they saw Aunt Liu and Aunt Cuihong chatting.When the two of them saw Xia Jin coming back, Aunt Liu said, "Xia Jin is back. Your Aunt Cuihong told me about you asking me to work for you. Thank you."

Xia Jin said: "There is no need to thank you. You have worked hard and I have paid you. It is a normal employment relationship. You don't need to be too polite."
