Li Jianjun smiled and trotted to catch up with the two sisters waiting by the river. He told them with satisfaction that the mountain bike was very heavy, much heavier than a bicycle.
Li Lijun looked back at the teenagers. Unexpectedly, one of them actually ran over, patted her brother on the shoulder, and smiled evilly, "They are chasing me. Have you damaged their bike?"
Of course not, Li Jianjun took two steps forward in confusion, "What's the matter?"
"Li Jianjun, this is my home phone number. Aren't you going to stay at your sister's house for a few more days? In two days we will go to the countryside to participate in a cycling event, let's go together?"
As he spoke, he handed Li Jianjun the homework sheet with his phone number written on it, and asked him to also leave his phone number for easy contact.
"Xie Haoran, can I go even if I don't have a car?" Li Jianjun was a little excited and looked back at Li Manjun expectantly, "Sister, can I go?"
"Can I use an ordinary bicycle?" Li Manjun asked the short but handsome boy in front of him with a smile.
Xie Haoran nodded, "Okay, it's not a regular competition, as long as you have a bicycle."
Li Manjun looked at Li Jianjun, "If you want to go, you can ride your brother-in-law's bicycle, but do you know the way?"
Li Jianjun is tall and has long legs. Even if he is new to ordinary bicycles, he can quickly get started.
Before Li Jianjun could speak, Xie Haoran immediately said: "Sister, don't worry, we can come and take him. I grew up in Rongcheng, and I'm very familiar with the roads here."
Li Manjun raised his eyebrows, waiting for Li Jianjun's answer.
"I want to go." He said happily.
Li Manjun took out the pen and paper he carried with him in his bag and wrote down his home phone number and address for Xie Haoran.
"See you the day after tomorrow! Goodbye, sisters!" Several teenagers waved to sisters Li Jianjun and Li Manjun, and rode away like the wind.
Li Jianjun was so happy that he kept laughing. This was his first time participating in such a special event. It had nothing to do with study, it was just pure entertainment.
In the town, no one would organize such activities. After the holidays, everyone would either go down to the river to catch fish and bathe, or go up the mountain to dig out bird eggs.
Although it was also interesting, that was before I came into contact with something more interesting.
Now Li Jianjun just thinks that there are many things in the city, and he has not realized that this is the education gap between urban and rural areas.
You must prepare some pocket money when you want to go out. Li Manjun took the two siblings directly to the recycling bin to let them earn pocket money.
"I have to go out for something, and you two will follow Yao Zhaowen's arrangements." Li Manjun handed the cotton gloves to the two of them, a pair each, and left on the tricycle.
Today there is a door-to-door recycling job. The game arcade is being updated and a batch of old game consoles are for sale.
Those who don't understand these things can easily get tricked, but you can't smash them all open to see if there are any private goods inside, so you need professionals to get started.
Businessmen are treacherous and will stuff things into game consoles to gain weight. Yao Zhaowen suffered a loss last time and lost five yuan on a business deal.
Li Lijun and Li Jianjun are not too young anymore and do not need to keep an eye on them. They had too much fun the past two days. In order to prevent them from thinking that making money is easy, Li Manjun will let them experience the hardships of life today.
Yao Zhaowen asked the two of them what they could do. The two siblings shook their heads in confusion. Looking at the messy yard filled with all kinds of recycled old things, they didn't know where to start.
"Okay." Yao Zhaowen looked around with his hands on his hips and handed over the task of packing plastic to the two of them.
"You two come with me and watch me do it. First take off the caps of these plastic bottles and put them in the frame next to them, and then crush the bottles..."
Yao Zhaowen demonstrated it once and asked the two siblings to do it.
Although they were wearing gloves, they still felt that touching garbage was dirty and they did so cautiously.
When a customer came to the door, Yao Zhaowen was skilled in accounting and accounting, and collected the goods from two scavengers. He looked back at the progress. Fifteen minutes had passed, and the small mountain of plastic bottles in front of him still stood there.
Yao Zhaowen took a deep breath and told himself that these were the boss's younger brothers and sisters and that he must not be angry. Then he suppressed the deep speechlessness in his heart.
"How about you let me receive the guests?" Li Lijun tried to propose an exchange job.
She felt that Yao Zhaowen's job seemed relatively easy.
Yao Zhaowen raised his eyebrows, young man, you are still too young.
The two parties exchanged jobs, and the uncle on the bicycle came. His goods were always the heaviest because he specialized in picking up scrap steel.
Li Lijun wanted to take the title, but she couldn't move even with all her strength, so she hurriedly called Li Jianjun over, and then she struggled to take the title.
Fortunately, she knew how to read the kilogram scale, and the weight was correct, but the money calculation was wrong, and there was an extra fifty cents.
The uncle upheld his trust in Li Manjun and left without counting.
When Li Manjun came back with the goods, he checked the account and found a difference of fifty cents.
"Yao Zhaowen." Li Manjun called out in the office. Yao Zhaowen hurriedly left the two siblings who were packing and rushed into the office, "Boss, what's the matter?"
Li Manjun handed him the account to look at. She had already marked out the mistakes, "This is fifty cents too much. Please correct it."
Humans are not machines. It is normal to make mistakes. Li Manjun does not mean to blame, just make corrections.
Yao Zhaowen looked at the time carefully and saw that he didn't do it himself, "This order was written down by Li Lijun."
Li Manjun's face hurts.
In the evening, when I was settling wages for my sister and brother, I told her about this and deducted 50 cents from Li Lijun.
She knew she was in the wrong, so she lowered her head and acted honestly.
Then I went to see the plastic packaged by Li Jianjun. After being weighed, it was twenty-five pounds, three cents per pound, and seventy-five cents.
Li Lijun packed less, and with the 50 cents deducted, she still owed the recycling bin 10 cents.
Li Lijun was shocked when she heard the wages, "So little?"
Not enough for a bottle of soda!
But the KFC meal they had the day before yesterday cost almost 20 yuan each.
The two of them calculated in their minds that at today's rate, it would take them forty days to earn the money of a KFC meal!
The figures were so exaggerated that the two siblings questioned Li Manjun's salary settlement.
Li Manjun was not used to it and looked at Yao Zhaowen, "I believe Yao Zhaowen asked you what kind of work you can do at the beginning. The price of each kind of work is different. You can have many choices, but you can only choose this one according to your ability."
The two of them were speechless and realized that it was very difficult to make money.
Li Lijun rolled her eyes, "Then can I just pick up trash and sell it to you?"
She looked at those scavengers, and each time they sold a bunch of them, they would pay more than a dozen yuan, and some would cost more than a hundred yuan. One day could almost earn her father a month's salary.
Li Manjun nodded, "Of course."
In the evening, Zhao Yong returned home and saw Li Manjun telling Li Lijun seriously about the value of garbage, how to sort it, and where to pick it up. He suspected that he was hallucinating.
"What are you doing? Lijun and Jianjun finally came here to have fun, and you just want someone to work for you?"
Then, he jokingly added, "It's illegal to employ minors."
Li Lijun explained: "No, brother-in-law, I want to show my sister what I am capable of!" She was very motivated.
"Lack of line?" Zhao Yong put down his briefcase and sat on the sofa, "Tell your brother-in-law that your sister won't give it to him."
Li Manjun glanced at him and said, "When you're full, you can go back to your room to rest and change your clothes. It stinks like smoke."
This was a gesture of chasing people away. Zhao Yong glanced at his younger brothers and sisters helplessly, "Brother-in-law, retreat first, you guys come on."
Li Lijun covered her mouth and snickered, while Li Jianjun looked regretful as the pocket money he received was gone.
