Return to 1981 and start from breaking off the engagement

Chapter 43 Sister-in-law
"Guard, what's going on?"

The sister-in-law put away the farm tools, dusted herself off and walked into the house.

Yao Weijun had already made tea, poured a cup for his sister-in-law, and said bluntly: "I have been doing some small business recently, and I can't handle it alone. I would like to ask my sister-in-law to help me."

Seeing the confused look on his sister-in-law's face, Yao Weijun continued to explain patiently:

"Actually, it's not a complicated job. It's just frying melon seeds and peanuts. I'll teach you a few times and you can learn it. It's very simple.

I don't trust anyone else to do this. They can't be of the same mind as me. Poor speculation will affect the business. And if I teach him wholeheartedly, they will definitely start a new business and go it alone.

So I think after planting wheat, there is nothing busy in the fields in winter anyway. Sister-in-law, you can come and help me. I will give you a monthly salary of 30 yuan. From now on, you will be responsible for all the frying of seeds at home. "

Yao Weijun considered it very comprehensively. He did not raise the salary too high at once, fearing that his sister-in-law would refuse. In his mind, 30 yuan was just the basic salary, and the rest would be given to his sister-in-law as bonuses.

"No, no, no, I can't ask for so much of your money! Oh, Junzi, why do you treat me like an outsider!"

The sister-in-law waved her hand firmly to refuse, and frowned anxiously. Then she remembered something and said quickly: "I agree to do the work, and I don't want any money."

Yao Weijun smiled and said patiently: "Sister-in-law, don't get me wrong. I have always treated you as one of my family members. You also have to understand my feelings. After the family is divided, you will rely on the land of the two of you and throw away the public grain and keep it." , I can’t save much money all year round. Don’t you want Xiaohua to eat better and wear better clothes in the future?
I'm doing this business now, and I won't hide it from you, sister-in-law. I can still make some money. Yu Qing, I can't watch you and my niece having a hard time every day when they open their eyes. As Xiaohua's uncle, I have to help. .

Another thing is, if I just hire someone else to do this job, even if they don’t agree with me, then I have to pay them a salary. The key is not to overpay, so logically speaking, you should get the money. "

"Junzi, I understand what you mean, but I still can't ask for your money. If this word spreads, the people in the village will laugh at me to death. I even make money from my own family. What are you talking about?"

The sister-in-law was a little excited, with moisture in the corners of her eyes, and added: "Actually, you have helped me a lot. If you hadn't stepped forward when the family was divided, I... I wouldn't know what I would have done with Xiaohua.

My sister-in-law won’t say nice things, but anyway, I don’t want a penny to work for you! "

"..." Yao Weijun pondered for a moment and said in a different way: "Well, it's okay if you don't need a salary. Then every month I earn money, and you can use part of it to help me buy delicious food for Xiaohua. is that OK?"

Seeing what the sister-in-law wanted to say, Yao Weijun stopped her directly, "Sister-in-law, if you still disagree, you are not treating me as one of your own, and forcing me to spend more money to hire outsiders."

"I didn't mean that! Oh, Junzi, you..."

The sister-in-law murmured, not knowing what to say.

"Okay, sister-in-law, just do as I say, you drink tea."

"Stop drinking. I'll go back and cook. You can go home early later!"

Yao Weijun stood up and sent his sister-in-law out of the house.

"As I continue to expand the market, my sister-in-law will definitely be too busy on her own. I will have to find more people to help her..."

Yao Weijun watched his sister-in-law leave and thought to himself.

Nowadays, his roasting place is still in the threshing floor. He mentioned to Uncle Shoushan a few days ago that he can live in the two rooms here casually. When the food in the village is distributed, the entire threshing floor will be vacant. Such a large area , one corner is enough for him to dry melon seeds and peanuts.

"Commander Yao! Please use your bicycle tomorrow!"

Before Yao Weijun could enter the house, Hou Liang came in the distance and shouted loudly from a distance.

"Go into the house and talk!"

"Got it!"

The two of them entered the room, and Hou Liang found a tea bowl, poured tea into it, and took a sip.

"There is a meeting in the village tomorrow. If you ride out on a bicycle, aren't you afraid that your father will pick you up?"

Yao Weijun threw him a cigarette and asked slightly curiously, "What is so important?"

"Brother, I plan to go to the Dawang Temple. My uncle and his comrades got some low-priced cottonseed oil from the factory. My father asked me to go and bring some back. The price is cheaper than the cooperative, and there is no need to pay for it. Commander Yao, wait a minute. I got it back, do you want to give it to you?" "Don't worry, if your kid did it alone, I can't tell you, but it involves your father, so forget it, let him find out that the weight is wrong, and he has to give it to you. It’s not like you were beaten so hard that you didn’t come to the kang for three days.”

"How can my father be as stingy as you say? I'm exaggerating!"

"You know whether it's an exaggeration or not!"

"Hehe... Then I'll take advantage of the good things this time, and I'll make up for it later!"

Hou Liang laughed sheepishly.

In his opinion, being able to eat low-priced cottonseed oil is equivalent to making a huge profit, but Yao Weijun doesn't like this at all. He has already replaced everything in his house with peanut oil.

"Monkey, have you ever thought about what you will do in the future? Do you really plan to leave your family to farm?"

"I have thought about it. I have also considered learning some crafts, or going to the south like Xinbo, but there is no way out!"

Hou Liang smoked a cigarette and spread his hands with helplessness on his face and continued: "Actually, we don't envy Heizi and Xinbo. In my opinion, there is no village where it is easy to live in. Why do you have to endure hardship outside? Or? It’s most comfortable on our own territory!”

"..." Yao Weijun couldn't help but hold back what he wanted to say.

The old saying is true, everyone has his own ambitions. Hou Liang is very satisfied with his current living situation. He doesn't want to endure hardship or be controlled by others. It's really not suitable to take him to do business together.

Originally, Yao Weijun thought that the other three buddies all had goals and wanted to guide Hou Liang to attack him, but now he has completely given up on this idea.

"Commander Yao, what about you, what are you planning to do in the future?"

Hou Liang threw another cigarette, played with Yao Weijun's lighter, and asked curiously.

"I plan to do some small business. Whether I can make money or not, I need to stabilize myself first."

Yao Weijun put the cigarette on the table, took a sip of tea and said casually.

"Doing business is easy. As long as I have the capital, I want to try it. When the time comes, I will be a boss. Once I wear a suit and tie, hey, it will be more exciting!"

Hou Liang said with a longing look on his face and gestures with his hands.

"Oh, by the way, I went to the commune the day before yesterday. I met a buddy on the street. He told me that he would help me do a big ticket business for a while. As long as it is successful, I will be able to enjoy the food and drink spicy food and count the money for fun! "

Hou Liang lowered his voice and added with a mysterious smile.

"Stop chatting with those people. They are different from us. They are all street gangsters. Be careful about getting you caught!"

Yao Weijun immediately turned cold upon hearing this, frowned and reminded.

"I know it well! Where have we, my brother, suffered any losses? Playing with those people, taking advantage if there is any advantage. If there is no advantage, I will grease the soles of my feet. I will run away!"

Hou Liang flipped his thumb with great confidence, looking proud.

"I'm warning you monkey, it's best to have less contact with those people. Don't blame me for not warning you. If something happened, no one can save you!"

"Don't worry, buddy, you won't suffer any loss! Okay, I'll ride the bike away and ask Shunzi to have a drink with me when I have time!"

Hou Liang pinched the cigarette butt, stood up and left the house.

When Yao Weijun came out, he had already ridden a long way on his bicycle.

……

After lunch the next day, the land distribution meeting of all the villagers in Jianchang Village was held as scheduled.
