NOVEL NEXT Chapter 54: Outsiders are better than family members
"Good morning, Xiao Xi!" Zhang Ying greeted Ning Xi with a smile. Zhang Ying must have cried for a long time after returning last night and her eyes were swollen, but judging from her current appearance, she should be fine.
Ning Xi also smiled and greeted the two of them, "Good morning, second brother and second sister-in-law."
“Morning.” Lu He responded with a smile and poured the spicy sticks he made yesterday into his backpack. “Xiao Xi, we have a car now, why don’t we take some more out.”
“Just bring as much as before. You can’t eat this stuff, and customers can’t buy it every day. If you bring too much, you won’t be able to sell it, and you won’t be too lazy to take it back.”
“Okay, I’ll listen to you.” Lu He responded with a smile.
“Second brother, take a few cans out to try today. You don’t have to recommend them to others. If anyone asks, just tell them. If no one asks, forget it.”
Lu He and Zhang Ying had no objection to what Ning Xi said, and took 10 bottles of canned fruit before going out.
At around six o'clock, salesmen were already coming one after another. Lu Zhenghai first collected the food that everyone brought and paid their bills. Those who wanted canned fruits had to queue up outside Wang Xiuqin's house. There was no stock at home. This was a big problem. There weren't many canned fruits out this morning, so if you wanted canned food, you had to wait in line.
Ning Xi walked around Wang Xiuqin, then around the village, looking for more than 50 people, and finally went to Xu Hua'er's house. Xu Hua'er was the daughter-in-law of her seventh uncle Ning Fuguo, and Ning Fuguo was the third grandfather. Although his youngest son was influenced by his third grandfather, he treated Ning Xi quite well.
Ning Fuguo was about to go out with his hoe. When he saw Ning Xi, he stopped and said, "Xiao Xi is here."
“Uncle Seven.” Ning Xi greeted her and explained her purpose of visit with a smile, “Is Aunt Hua’er here?”
"Wash the dishes in the kitchen. You go find her yourself. I have to go to the fields, so I'm going out first." After saying this, Ning Fuguo was about to leave.
Ning Xi quickly called Ning Fuguo, "Uncle Qi, I have something to ask you."
Ning Fuguo put down his **** and asked, "What's going on?"
“Uncle Qi, I want to ask you to come to my house to help make canned fruits.”
"It's done!" Ning Fuguo immediately nodded in agreement. Now the whole village knows that Ning Xi's family is making canned fruits. Last night, they should have heard that everyone's wages have been increased to 45 a month.
Everyone wanted to go to such a good opportunity to make money. Ning Fuguo also wanted to go to Ning Xi and ask if he could help. He also thought that a large number of talents in the Ning family had made Ning Xi angry a few days ago. Although he did not participate He is also a member of the Ning family, so he has no shame to go to Ning Xi.
"Uncle Qi, I arrange two classes, with 30 people in each class. The morning class is from 6 am to 4 pm, and the evening class is from 4 pm to 1 am. There is an hour's rest time at noon and evening. There are two classes. It changes once a week. I have already told Uncle Wu that Uncle Qi and Uncle Wu will take charge of one class each. Uncle Wu will take charge of the morning shift first, and Uncle Qi will take charge of the evening shift. "
"This is the list of night shift workers." Ning Xi opened her notebook and tore off a piece of paper and handed it to Ning Fuguo, "Uncle Wu, I have written it down for you clearly about what you have to do every day and how to arrange the workers. Aunt Hua'er is literate. Just ask Aunt Hua'er to read it to you."
Ning Fuguo took the paper and said, "Okay."
“Because you and Uncle Wu are also responsible for managing the workers, the salary I will give you is 55 a month.”
"Okay, thank you Xiao Xi, I will do a good job." Ning Fuguo's face almost broke out with laughter. It was so good that he also made money, and it was 10 yuan more than the others.
"Xiao Xi is here." Xu Hua'er walked out of the kitchen and saw Ning Xi. She was very happy and immediately waved, "What are you doing standing at the door? Come inside and sit down."
Ning Fuguo immediately realized that they were still standing at the door and smiled awkwardly, "Look at me, I didn't even let you in. Come in and sit down!"
After entering the house, Ning Xi also mentioned the second purpose of coming here today, "Aunt Hua'er, I have one more thing I want to ask you for help with today." "What's the matter?"
“Now most of the people in the village have gone to help my house, and there are fewer people going out to catch fish. I would like you to help me tell my uncle and ask him to help me catch more small fish.”
"How much do you want?" Xu Hua'er said before that she wanted her natal family to help Ning Xi catch small fish, but because the Ning family forced Ning Xi to do something that day, she was too embarrassed to go to Ning Xi again about this matter. I don't know what I'm doing anymore.
“About 2,000 jins!” Let’s start with 2,000 jins. According to the current situation, this will be enough to last until next summer. If business gets better, I can add some more before winter.
"Xiao Xi, are you sure it's 2,000 pounds?" Xu Hua'er asked again, unable to believe her ears.
"Yeah! It's 2,000 kilograms. After you make the dried fish, don't send it here for now. I'm going to rent a house in the town. When the house is rented, I'll let you know. You ask my uncle and the others to help me deliver the fish. Go to town."
Xu Hua'er quickly nodded and agreed, "Okay, no problem."
After sitting for a while, Ning Xi came out of Ning Fu Country. As soon as she went out, she met Ning Laoba, the eldest son of Grandpa Fifth.
When Ning Laoba saw Ning Xi, he immediately stepped forward to stop her: "Ning Xi, I heard that you are recruiting people. Your eighth aunt is busy at home, so she happened to go to your house to help. Your sister-in-law is also going. Your eighth aunt is also there. My sister will go too."
Ah! Ning Xi laughed angrily. Ning Lao Ba really regarded herself as an elder. Not only did he want to arrange for his wife and daughter-in-law to work with her, he also wanted to bring his sister-in-law in as well.
It has only been a few days, and he has forgotten how he and his father forced her a few days ago, or has he forgotten how his wife beat her and embarrassed her before?
Unable to get an answer, Ning Laoba said with a straight face, "Ning Xi, I'm talking to you, do you hear me?"
Ning Xi glanced at Ning Laoba with disgust, "My family is not short of people for the time being."
“There is no shortage of people, so just hire a few people. How can outsiders be more willing to help you than your own family members?”
“Outsiders are indeed better than my own family. At least they can sympathize with me and give me a bite to eat when I’m hungry.”
After saying these words, Ning Xi left without looking back. Behind her came Ning Laoba's roar, "Damn girl, your father was right. You are just a white-eyed wolf who doesn't recognize your relatives."
"You're right, I really don't intend to recognize you relatives." Ning Xi was worried about offending everyone in the Ning family before. After what happened that day, she was not even willing to maintain superficial harmony with these people.
Just offend if you offend!
Just in case anyone comes to her and arrogantly asks her to help arrange work.
Around ten o'clock, two agricultural vehicles arranged by Zhou Tong arrived. The vehicles could not enter the village, so Ning Xi arranged for workers to pick out the grain and load it into the vehicles.
At about eleven o'clock, Ning Xi took Lu Bei on the farm vehicle and went to the town.
Lu Bei would follow Ning Xi. It was arranged by Lu Nan. He had inconvenient legs and feet and his family wanted him to watch over him, so he arranged for Lu Bei to follow him. Lu Bei had learned fighting from him for several years. When he met a gangster, he could also kill people. Beat away.
