Chapter 1196 Control group in the 1990s (5)
Daughter, what kind of livelihood are you talking about?
As soon as he got home, Father Xu glanced at the corridor to make sure no one was passing by. He quickly closed the door and asked impatiently.
Dad, dont be impatient, lets sit down and chat slowly.
Xu Yin shook the hot water bottle. There was still some water at the bottom of the bottle, and poured a bowl for herself and Xu's father.
Its not that there are no cups at home. Xu Wuyis work performance in the factory is pretty good, and he can sometimes come back with small prizes such as enamel cups and thermos cups.
But Ma Chunfang thought the cup took up space, so she insisted on using a rice bowl to drink water. These brand-new cups were either taken by her as a favor or given to her younger brother.
Father Xu was also thirsty, so he took the bowl and drank half of the water in one breath, wiped the corners of his mouth, and waited for his daughter to speak.
Xu Yin drank water to quench her thirst and no longer whetted her father's appetite: "Dad, it's actually very simple. Just buy a stove and sell sesame cakes. One thousand yuan is enough as a start-up capital."
Shaobing? What kind of business can this do? The cafeteria also sells sesame cakes in the morning, but not many people buy them. Everyone likes to eat steamed dumplings, wontons, and steamed buns.
Xu Yin smiled mysteriously: "My sesame cakes are not ordinary sesame cakes, they are the kind of sesame cakes that people line up to buy and eat!"
Line up to buy sesame seed cakes?
Father Xu couldn't imagine it.
He has seen people queuing up to buy meat, queuing up to buy coal, queuing up to buy cheap fruits... but he has never seen people queuing up to buy sesame cakes.
"Daughter, if you can't think of what to do for a living, we can think about it slowly. Your mother and I can go to other factories and ask if there are any temporary jobs for us. If it doesn't work, there will always be no one to do the job of sweeping the streets. I'll grab it. With this one thousand yuan, I can live frugally for a year and a half, but this sesame seed stand will still be..."
Dad, Im going to prepare some ingredients. I may not be able to make it tonight. Ill give you a taste of the sesame seed cakes I made tomorrow.
Xus father:
He hasnt finished speaking yet!
Xu Yin went out and went straight to the nearby grocery store.
Stainless steel barrel? No, why not take a look at the tinplate barrel. This one comes in large and small sizes. The largest one is the same size as a diesel barrel.
The grocery store owner introduced Xu Yin to a cheap and easy-to-use tin bucket.
Xu Yin saw that the largest tin bucket cost more than 200, and that stainless steel buckets of the same size were not necessarily affordable, so she didn't go elsewhere and bought a tin bucket here.
I want the biggest size.
Okay, we can deliver the goods for an extra two yuan.
"Need not."
Xu Yin paid the money, turned around, picked up the tin bucket that the boss had to take out from the warehouse, and left.
Store owner:
Its not that he really wanted to earn the two yuan delivery fee, but it was a bit shocking to pick up a tin bucket that he needed to carry or hold with one hand and walk so easily with one hand, wasnt it a bit shocking?
Xu Yin bought the casing of the stove and was too lazy to go shopping for materials. Of course, mainly to save money, so she rummaged through the system warehouse and gathered a bunch of materials needed to make a homemade furnace. After returning home, she found at the end of the corridor The small balcony was remodeled with a lot of effort.
Old Xu, isnt that your daughter? What is she busy with?
Jiao Dongmei, Zhou Quancai's daughter-in-law next door and Zhou Jiao's mother, opened the door and came out to collect clothes. She saw Xu Yin squatting on the small public balcony and tinkering with something, and curiously asked Xu's father who was lighting the stove and boiling water at the door.
Xu's father didn't know what his daughter was doing, and he didn't tell her when he asked her. He just said it would be kept secret for the time being, and naturally he couldn't explain why. Jiao Dongmei curled her lips when she saw this, thinking to herself, how can a father know what his daughter is doing? Don't say it if you don't want to say it, you deliberately talk about it!
"I said, Lao Xu, we have been neighbors for so many years. What good things happen to us without thinking of you first? Lao Zhou advises you to stay because he is really doing it for your own good. Forget it if you don't appreciate it. Your family has good things but doesn't think of us at all. , this makes people sad, alas..."
Xu's father was confused when he heard this: "What's good about my family?"
Recently, apart from the top priority of being laid off, there is nothing else going on at home.
Is it possible that being laid off is a good thing?
Then you two can also choose to be laid off, and no one is forcing you to stay.
Seeing his dumbfounded look, Jiao Dongmei thought he was pretending, and felt bad for a while.
She and Ma Chunfangs natal family are both from Mushu Town, but they are in different villages. However, they are fellow villagers after leaving the town, and their names are also very similar - one is Chunfang and the other is Dongmei. Those who entered were all iron ore factories, and the men they married were all iron ore factory workers. The dormitory they were assigned was next door, and the babies they gave birth to were also coincidental - the first born was a daughter, and the second was a son. The birth of a daughter and a son The same goes for the year.
With such similar life trajectories, Jiao Dongmei has always been secretly competing with each other.
Her natal family comes from a mountainous area. She is very poor and has a bit of a nagging personality, so when she first came to work in the city, she always had a low self-esteem.
Although Ma Chunfangs natal family is also poor, life in the village at the foot of the mountain is better than in the mountains. And because she is the eldest son in the family, she has a strong and aggressive personality. After entering the factory, she quickly became involved with the female workers in the factory.
At that time, she secretly vowed that one day she would surpass Ma Chunfang.
This time Lao Zhou said that if he did not receive compensation and borrowed another 30,000 yuan from the factory, he would not only be able to stay at work, but also sign a job security agreement, and the couple would not be laid off in the future. Jiao Dongmei was happy.
She finally surpassed Ma Chunfang.
Ma Chunfang and his wife were on the first batch of laid-off lists. Even though they, like her family, refused to receive money unless they signed and borrowed 30,000 yuan from the factory to avoid being laid off this time, they did not have the opportunity to sign a job guarantee agreement. They will still be on the next batch of laid-off lists.
This made Jiao Dongmei laugh even in her dreams.
Unexpectedly, this afternoon, Lao Zhou came back gloomily and said that Lao Xu went to sign for the money and bought two rooms with the money he received. I dont know what he thought.
Thinking of this, Jiao Dongmei couldn't help but ask: "Old Xu, what do you think? It's so good, why buy a house? The factory didn't say it would kick you out. It's 20,000 yuan, and it was gone as soon as you got it. Can your wife agree? ?
Xu's father was immersed in lighting the stove and did not answer. He thought that his wife would most likely disagree, but she had returned to her parents' home. This was called killing first and reporting later. No, the daughter is in charge now, and the daughter is the one with the decision-making power.
Seeing that he remained silent for a long time, Jiao Dongmei snorted, put away her clothes, went into the house and closed the door.
Xus father:
Arent you still chatting with He Qiqi just now? His face suddenly changed. He didn't say anything offensive, right? I dont understand!
Let's go see what my daughter is doing.
Father Xu lit a fire, put a pot of water on the stove, and walked over to Xu Yin: "What on earth are you fussing about? You have to hide it even from your own father?"
Xu Yin was helpless and funny: "Dad, you should have guessed. Didn't I say that I wanted to sell sesame cakes? This is for baking sesame cakes."
Shaobing stove?
"uh-huh."
Its not the same as the stove used in the canteen. Where did you get it?
"I do it by myself."
Since when did his daughter become so capable? Like a skilled craftsman, he can make pancakes in the oven!
