"Also, regarding Li Weidong, if he comes to see you again, take him directly to me."
Zhou Jimin has no time to talk to a primary school student.
After talking about the third and fourth children, Zhou Shuqing almost finished filling her sausages.
The next step is to hang the sausage and wait for it to dry.
The room is filled with fragrance, and the greedy little goldfish is almost running out.
At this time, Ding Qiunan suddenly asked about the basement, which immediately aroused everyone's attention and curiosity.
"Since you all know it, there's nothing to hide." Zhou Jimin spread his hands and said:
"However, I have to warn you, don't tell anyone about this matter, otherwise you will cause trouble."
Everyone nodded together, and then the little goldfish was the first to urge, wanting to satisfy her curiosity.
So, Zhou Jimin pushed open the cupboard and started to act.
When the stone brick was opened, everyone's eyes lit up.
Then I saw several large stone bricks and mesh iron plates being picked up one after another, and a hole appeared that could accommodate two people side by side.
The basement went down at an angle of about 35 degrees. When Ding Qiunan stepped on the ladder, he felt that it was stone, not wood.
Nonsense, wood is not that easy to collect, but stones are so simple. They are everywhere outside the city.
After walking about five meters, we finally came to a spacious space of about ten square meters, and it didn't feel oppressive at all.
"How high is it here?"
Ding Qiunan was in high spirits, and Zhou Jimin replied smoothly: "Two meters and a half."
In fact, he dug to a height of three meters and two, and the top of the basement was paved with reinforced concrete to avoid collapse problems.
The bottom is also paved with a layer, and the surrounding areas are similar. The entire basement is reinforced and consolidated.
At this scale, it is almost built like an air raid shelter.
"Wow, is there another room here?"
The naughtiest little goldfish was touching everywhere, and soon she accidentally pushed the shelf open, revealing a door at the back.
Everyone immediately squeezed in.
Then I discovered that the house inside was larger, almost fifteen square meters, but it required a flight of stairs.
Obviously, this house is one and a half meters shorter than the ten-square-meter house.
However, the entire house has a lot of space and the same height.
"Any more?"
This basement is such a surprise, Ding Qiunan said he likes it very much.
Not only because there is more space at home and the food storage problem is solved, but also because I feel at ease.
"No, two basements are not enough?"
Zhou Jimin is not greedy. He originally used this to deal with his family, but he didn't expect that they all liked it.
The four little ones kept exclaiming, because he planned the two basements according to supermarkets, and there were a lot of food on the shelves.
Lao Gan Ma, White Rabbit toffee, rice, peanut oil, flour, etc., pots and pans, etc. are all available. Anyway, these things stored in the basement are enough for their family to survive for a few months.
After reading it, Zhou Shuqing suddenly felt a little silent and worried.
Her worry is also very simple. These foods cost a lot of money, so where does Zhou Jimin's money come from?
The income that can be calculated is the 800 yuan left by her parents. This amount is discounted because Zhou Shuqing doesn't know how much is left, but there is definitely no 800 yuan.
Also, her eldest brother received two rewards of 800 yuan from the factory, plus 100 yuan from fishing catches, for a total of 900 yuan.
As well as her eldest brother's income in recent months, in general terms, it is about 70 yuan.
Therefore, excluding some funds left by parents, it can be roughly calculated that the family's income in recent months is about 970 yuan, with an error of no more than 10 yuan.
In terms of expenses, the bulk of the expenses are the three bicycles at home, two of which are women's bicycles and have bicycle tickets, which cost 150 yuan each, totaling 300 yuan.
Her eldest brother's 28-inch bumper car is a second-hand car, which costs 125 yuan.
In addition, in the past few months, I have eaten meat, rice and noodles every day, which costs an average of 3 yuan a day, and I have spent roughly 80 yuan here on going to restaurants such as Bianyifang.
A rough calculation shows that in the past few months, the family has spent 775 yuan.
The surplus is 195 yuan.
However, the total food in the basement is more than 200 yuan, right?
Therefore, the smart Zhou Shuqing quickly realized that her elder brother must have other income.
And this part of the income is definitely gray.
So what kind of income is invisible in this era?
The most likely possibility is the trading in the pigeon market.
From her observation of her eldest brother's skillful conversations with purchasers or directors of canteens in cotton spinning mills, steel rolling mills and other canteens, she also observed that her eldest brother basically saw no one in the early hours of every morning and did not come back from outside until after seven in the morning.
Therefore, she made a bold guess that her eldest brother's other income must be related to the pigeon market.
However, the pigeon market is not legal after all.
Her eldest brother is currently a first-level worker in the steel rolling mill. Once the Spring Festival is over, based on age and length of service, her eldest brother will definitely be promoted to another level immediately.
In addition, her eldest brother is still a popular person among factory director Yang and other leaders, and his future is limitless.
If your future is ruined because of the pigeon market, then the gain outweighs the loss.
Therefore, Zhou Shuqing is very worried.
After driving the fourth child and the little goldfish to another basement, Zhou Shuqing took her eldest brother and asked for another meeting, and expressed her concerns.
Ding Qiunan, her future sister-in-law, also attended the meeting for the first time.
The fourth child is a little angry, why can’t he participate?
But frightened by the double pressure from his eldest brother and second sister, the fourth child could only accept it with a low eyebrow.
In the room, Zhou Jimin did not expect Zhou Shuqing to be so attentive and fell silent.
Sure enough, you must never underestimate anyone.
It is estimated that the neighbors in the courtyard are also silently observing the Zhou family.
Anyone who cares can do arithmetic and is good at it.
Therefore, Zhou Shuqing's words once again made Zhou Jimin wary.
Positive income is absolutely necessary, and it is a large amount.
Fortunately, his status is not high and he is not old enough, so no one came to check him. Otherwise, one check would be accurate.
Ding Qiunan was also worried, while the third child was very shocked, wondering how the eldest brother made money.
He and the fourth child collected rags for less than half a month and earned a little over three yuan.
This is the result of their hard work and hard work.
And this small amount of money is nothing compared to the big brother.
Zhou Jimin suddenly smiled:
"Why are you all crying and looking sad? Isn't this nothing? Besides, Xiaoqing, have you forgotten that I told you that I will take the college entrance examination next year."
"In other words, I will take the initiative to resign next year, so this job is actually not important to me at all."
"Besides, if you think I am such a careless person? If so, how could these two basements be hidden from the public? Not to mention the other neighbors in the courtyard who don't know, even you who live here every day don't notice.
”
"If I don't have diamonds, I won't do porcelain work. If I don't have any skills, how can I brag about supporting you?"
The words were so loud that they shocked Ding Qiunan and the three of them.
