Most residents thought the warnings of the two electricians were alarmist.
However, the two electricians acted as "volunteers" and helped repair the circuits for free. They didn't take advantage of the situation, so the residents accepted this kind offer.
There is no need to pay for labor, and everyone is allowed to spend their own money to buy wires and plug boards. Where can I find such a good thing?
Grandma Yang had no ability to judge. When Yang Hongan came home from scavenging, she found that the house was much brighter. A closer look revealed that all the wires in the house had been replaced, and even the light bulbs had been replaced with larger wattage ones.
Yang Xi said that she had found someone to replace her, and Yang Hongan frowned:
"Xixi, where did you get the money? We are poor and we should not take other people's money."
It's not that Yang Hongan didn't hear the news about Yang Xi being a little girl outside. It's just that Yang Xi behaved one way outside and another at home. Yang Hongan didn't catch it personally, so it was inevitable that he had illusions.
In the past, Yang Xi only dared to secretly buy some rice and noodles for his family with the money he collected from protection fees, and could not use them openly. Only this time, he was very confident and said that he earned it himself.
Taking advantage of the conversation, Yang Xi formally raised the matter of suspending school:
"Grandpa, I'm really not good at studying. It hurts me to sit in the classroom and I can't study. Now someone can give me a job with a good salary. I want to do it first. After all, it's not a good job after college.
I need to find a job."
Can college graduates and high school graduates find the same jobs?
Yang Hongan was anxious, but he was too clumsy to tell the specific difference. Yang Xi lowered his head and said, "Grandpa, do you think the job I'm looking for is not an office job? It's embarrassing?"
Yang Hongan sighed and said that Yang Xi might have been deceived.
"I wasn't deceived. You've also seen my boss. I saved their daughter at the police station, and they were grateful to me before they were willing to give me this job!"
Compared to Wen Ying, who was still a student, it was more credible to say that she was working for two adults. Yang Xi played a trick and said that the people who hired her were Wen Dongrong and Chen Ru.
Yang Hongan's brother came back from the car repair stall, looked at the newly replaced wires in the house, and spoke for Yang Xi:
"Let Xixi try it, the boss is a nice person."
The boss can call for an electrician before work starts. In the eyes of Grandpa Yang, this is a good boss. If you can work with a good boss, Yang Xi's choice is not necessarily wrong.
At Yang Xi's insistence, Yang Hong'an still did not give in to his granddaughter and went to the school to go through the suspension procedures to retain his student status.
Yang Xi's class teacher knew the situation of the Yang family. Yang Xi's ability to survive until she finished her second year of high school was beyond the expectations of the class teacher. When she learned that Yang Xi had already found a job, the class teacher told Yang Xi earnestly:
"You are actually a smart child. If you don't want to be verbose, I hope you can use your intelligence in the right way, work down-to-earth, and be a down-to-earth person!"
Although a high school diploma is not worth much now, it is better than nothing. The class teacher promised that Yang Xi would get her diploma.
"If you have the opportunity in the future, you can still improve your academic qualifications. As long as a person wants to make progress, it is never too late."
Yang Xi seemed to be carefree, but in fact she listened to everything the class teacher said, but she couldn't say "thank you". Once she said thank you, her character collapsed.
Just like when Yang Xi faced a few of her subordinates with red eyes, she comforted them in a very cool way:
"You guys just have to wait a little longer, and I'll pick you up when the ground is warmed up!"
"Sister Xi, is it true?"
"I thought you didn't want us anymore!"
"Sister Xi, do you really want to work for that little round-faced person?"
"If the little round-faced girl dares to use her status as the boss to bully you, we will hammer her!"
Yang Xi asked them to line up in a row and hit their heads next to each other: "Which one do you want to beat? Yue Shanni has been fired. Don't you know? I can work even if I don't study. What are you going to do if you don't study? Just do it for me."
If you stay in school, if you can't go to college, you must at least get a high school diploma."
Yang Xi said that she was also worried to death.
These girls are in a different situation than Yang Xi.
Their family conditions are much better than those of Yang Xi's family. At least there are young adults in the family. However, some of their parents are divorced and cannot take care of their children. Some of them are spoiled by their ancestors... Yang Xi scratched his hair:
"High school diplomas are useless, so you should work hard to get into a junior college."
"..."
Then it is better to continue collecting protection fees!
Several girls were moved to tears by Yang Xi's comments. It was not that they couldn't bear to leave Yang Xi, but that they thought it was difficult to get into junior college.
However, Sister Xi has decided that the matter cannot be changed. Yang Xi has already spoken out. If she still recognizes her as the boss, she must obey her. If she does not recognize her as the boss, it has nothing to do with her whether she studies or not.
After educating a few of his subordinates, Yang Xi waved his hand and left the campus.
The people who were usually bullied by Yang Xi breathed a sigh of relief.
Some girls covered their mouths and laughed: "Yang Xi has completely gone out into society now, and that's right. Bullying everyone in school is not considered capable. When she goes out into society, she finds that she can't do anything and can't beat male gangsters in a fight.
, she knows life will be difficult!”
One of Yang Xi's little girls looked at you angrily: "Sister Xi, did you bully you in school? You were friends with boys from other schools, and their real girlfriend came to trouble you. Who helped you solve the trouble? Bah!"
The girl blushed when she was scolded.
Yes, Yang Xi helped her calm down the trouble. As a result, the boy dumped his real girlfriend and ignored her. Instead, he pursued Yang Xi crazily.
Not only did Yang Xi refuse to agree, she also beat the boy in the end, saying that he was eating from the bowl and thinking about the pot, and that he would get annoyed when he saw her flirting with others.
The girl was both grateful to Yang Xi and complained about Yang Xi. Yang Xi dropped out of school and went home. She quickly revealed her true feelings.
I almost forgot, Yang Xi is gone, but Yang Xi’s henchmen are still there!
One little girl scolded the girl, while the other little girl was confident in Yang Ximi:
"Sister Xi is the smartest person I have ever met. If she is willing to study, what will happen to you? She doesn't study now, and the world is wide open for her to do whatever she wants!"
Times are tough?
Sister Xi will definitely do something great.
Just wait and see!
Yang Xi packed her books in cardboard boxes and carried them out of the school gate.
Yang Hongan was waiting for her at the school gate on a tricycle.
Yang Hongan never went to school with Yang Xi for fear that Yang Xi would be laughed at.
Yang Xi felt that she had fists and would hit anyone who dared to laugh, but Yang Hongan didn't like her hitting people.
You don’t have to worry about this anymore!
Yang Xi put the box in the carriage and asked Yang Hongan to get on it, and she rode the tricycle home.
"When I get my salary, grandpa, please stop going out to scavenge every day. Now that grandma often runs out, you can take good care of grandma at home."
"I also want to change my grandpa's wheelchair into a wheelchair. Nowadays, there are electric wheelchairs that don't require my grandpa's strength to push."
"Your bed is so old. The legs are even with two bricks on them."
Yang Xi couldn't stop talking about how to spend her salary.
The Yang family is really too poor.
Yang Xi and Grandma Yang lived in the only room, while Yang Hongan and his brother closed the curtains in the living room and slept in the living room at night.
In addition, the house was littered with bottles and cans and bundles of cardboard that Yang Hongan had not sold in time, making Yang Xi feel like she had been sleeping in a garbage heap all these years.
She didn't mind sleeping in a garbage dump, but when she remembered that the electrician came to change the wires and specifically reminded her of the safety risks, Yang Xi still frowned and emphasized again:
"When I get the money, Grandpa, you..."
Just stop scavenging.
We sold all the bottles, cans, cardboard and newspapers at home and lived in a clean house.
This house is small.
In the future, she will buy a big house so that the eldest grandfather and grandma can live in the same room. The second grandfather will have his own room, and she will also have her own room.
Yang Xi thought about the future, her feet were very strong, and she pedaled the tricycle fast and steady.
When Yang Hongan listened to Yang Xi's description of the future, he looked forward to it but did not dare to dream about it.
Alas, Xixi doesn’t go to school. I don’t know if it’s a good thing or if what I did is wrong or right!
…
Yang Xi moved quickly, completed the procedures, and wanted to go to work the next day. Wen Ying asked her to go directly to the store.
Deng Shangwei looked Yang Xi up and down in the store, unsure whether Wen Ying had been deceived.
"Your basic salary is two thousand yuan a month. If the store's turnover is high, you will get a bonus. This is the two months' salary Wen Ying paid you in advance. Oh, the money for replacing the wires has been deducted."
Deng Shangwei handed an envelope to Yang Xi.
It was Wen Ying who paid for the circuit maintenance in Yang Xi's community. Anyway, the two electricians were paid in days.
As for the wires, sockets and various switches in Yang Xi's house, they didn't cost much. After all, the house is so small, how complicated can the circuit be?
Even if Wen Ying didn't pay her salary in advance, the Yang family could grit their teeth and change the wires, but they never did so just because Yang Hongan was frugal.
Just use the wires if they can be used. The money saved may be Yang Xi's college tuition.
Yang Xi doesn't think she will go to college, but she won't let her uncle spend money to replace the wires. Every money from poor families has a use. The three old people are already very old. If they don't leave some money in their hands,
What should I do if someone gets sick?
Yang Xi pinched the envelope and found that it was thicker than she thought.
You can’t get so much money even if you collect protection fees!
A monthly salary of two thousand yuan, plus bonuses.
In the entire late-night snack street, except for the chefs in charge of the restaurants, no one can earn such a high salary, right?
Yang Xi rubbed his face.
If she hadn't looked anything like Wen Ying, she would have suspected that Wen Ying was her relative. The Wen family abandoned her back then, but now they were treating her well and came back to recognize her!
Deng Shangwei paid Yang Xi his salary in advance, thinking that the little girl would leave with the money. Unexpectedly, Yang Xi came to the store to work the next day.
Because the physical store of 'Shrimp King' was not open yet, Yang Xi focused her energy on the temporary stall. She did not say that she was the new store manager. She would do whatever the waiters did. Waiting for Wen Ying to visit on Friday night
, and found that Yang Xi had already mingled with several workers at the stall.
Yang Xi asked Wen Ying why she wanted to hire an electrician, and Wen Ying looked surprised: "Didn't you say you wanted to change the wires? For a boss like me who cares about his employees, if you miss it, you won't be able to find it. You have to cherish it!"
Yang Xi rolled her eyes secretly.
It turns out that the boss with the round face is trying to win people's hearts.
The routine is still the same, it's almost like buying milk tea, but I'm actually moved.
However, thinking of taking home the advance salary, the grandfather thought about it all night and sold out all kinds of waste products accumulated at home. Yang Xi thought that the routine would be the same. At least this routine brought changes to the Yang family.
Yang Xi analyzed it with Wen Ying with a serious look on her face. What she analyzed was not how much "Shrimp King" sold every day, but how much business Shuji Seafood Food Stall had taken away from "Shrimp King".
"They also started selling crayfish, did you know?"
Yang Xi took advantage of her unfamiliarity and went to the food stalls to spend some money.
The crayfish has a fishy smell and is very unpalatable.
But the pricing is extremely low, a pound of braised shrimp only costs 6 yuan!
With a salary of two thousand, Yang Xi wanted to solve the problem of Shu Guobing for Wen Ying. Wen Ying saw her frowning and thinking, she was young and serious.
——If the circuit hazards in Yang Xi’s community are eliminated in advance, the accident in the previous life will not happen again, right?
Yang Xi may never know in her lifetime that Wen Ying's statement that he valued her character was not nonsense.
The reason why Wen Yinghua paid so much money to hire Yang Xi to work is not because of Yang Xi's ability to be the boss of a girl, but because of Yang Xi's character!
