Chapter forty-seven work regardless of high or low
Chapter 47: There is no distinction between high and low in work
"The environment here is quite good." Chai Yan said with a smile.
Sister Xiang said happily: "As long as you are satisfied... Oh, and if the weather gets cold, I will ask someone to add a stove for you, so you won't get cold."
"Thank you, Sister Xiang."
Chai Yan thanked him, turned around and saw an abacus on the table, so he walked over and started dialing.
The feeling of moving the beads is both strange and familiar. It has been a long time since I did calculations. The memory of this aspect lasted until I graduated from elementary school...
Sister Xiang saw that Chai Yan moved the abacus very slowly, so she thought that his abacus was not skillful enough, so she comforted him: "It's okay, it's okay, just go slow, so that you won't make mistakes in the calculation!"
Chai Yan smiled softly and gradually increased the speed of his fingers...
"One goes up to one, one goes up to five and goes to four, one goes to nine and goes to one, two goes to two, two goes to five and goes to three, two goes to eight and goes to one, three goes to three, three goes to five goes to two, three goes to seven and goes to one...
..."
As Chai Yan recited the long-dusted abacus formula in a low voice, the "cracking" sound of the abacus also began.
Sister Xiang couldn't help but regretted what she had just said. It turned out that Chai Yan was so proficient in using abacus, he was no worse than other accountants.
After beating for a while, Chai Yan's hand suddenly left the abacus.
Sister Xiang thought that Chai Yan had finished "showing off his skills", so she immediately clapped her hands and applauded: "It's awesome, Sister Xiang, I really didn't misjudge the person!"
Chai Yan shook his head secretly: "I'm sorry, I haven't played in a few years, so I'm rusty..."
Chai Yan was telling the truth. There was no problem when dialing addition and subtraction just now, but when recalling the formulas for multiplication and division, his memory failed to keep up.
Sister Xiang didn't care. Just by seeing Chai Yan's abacus skills, she felt that he was qualified to be an accountant.
"Xiaoyan, that's it, it's eight dollars a month! When can you come to work?" Sister Xiang asked after confirming the wages.
Chai Yan replied: "If there are no accidents, I should be able to come to work tomorrow. I just rented the yard before I came here. I want to clean it later."
After hearing this, Sister Xiang nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes, yes, you can come over at this time tomorrow. The girls are all sleeping in the morning..."
Chai Yan nodded and said, "I understand."
After leaving Hexiangyuan, Chai Yan went out of the city to visit Butcher Zhao's house.
Butcher Zhao was very sorry to tell Chai Yan that his family had killed a pig today, but the pig blood had been sold out and he would have to wait until tomorrow.
Shangguan Peining was very disappointed. After complaining for a few words, there was no movement.
Chai Yan ignored her, and after patiently asking some questions, he made a deposit with Butcher Zhao, asking him to deliver some pig blood to his home every morning when he went to the city to deliver meat.
Naturally, Butcher Zhao agreed wholeheartedly. It was a good idea anyway, and there were many long-term customers, so why not?
Before leaving, Chai Yan did not forget to whisper that the cow blood would be sold to him first.
Only then did Shangguan Peining become more excited.
After returning to his new home, Chai Yan started tidying up and cleaning.
In fact, it seems that there are not many places that need to be tidied up and cleaned. Except for the mattress covering the bed and some personal items that need to be replaced, most of the other old things can still be used.
The time soon came for the next morning.
Chai Yan had just finished washing when he heard someone knocking on the door outside.
When he opened the door, it turned out to be Butcher Zhao. Butcher Zhao pushed a wheelbarrow into the city with two wooden barrels and some fresh pork tied to it.
Butcher Zhao unloaded the two barrels and carried them into the yard with deft movements. Then he turned back to the car and cut a piece of meat of suitable fat and thin size with a knife and handed it to Chai Yan.
"Mr. Chai, thank you for taking care of me. This is a little thought of mine. Don't take it personally..."
After saying that, Butcher Zhao stuffed the pork into Chai Yan's hand, pushed the wheelbarrow, and left humming a cheerful tune.
Chai Yan looked at the pork in his hand and wondered what to do with this?
We don’t even have a fire to cook at home, and we don’t even have a dog. We can’t just throw it away...
Just when he was in a bit of trouble, he heard the door of the yard next door open. Chai Yan suddenly remembered that he hadn't greeted his neighbor yet, so he might as well treat it as a meeting gift, so Chai Yan carried the meat and walked to the next door.
Chai Yan heard from the landlord yesterday that there is a family of four next door. The male owner, whose surname is Shi, is a teacher in a private school. The female owner is dedicated to taking care of the children at home. The two children are boys, one is six years old and the other is four years old.
.
At this time, the male host, Mr. Shi, was preparing to take his eldest son out to school. He turned around and saw Chai Yan walking towards him with a smile on his face and a piece of pork in his hand. Mr. Shi bowed his hands slightly politely and asked: "This young master,
Who are you looking for?"
Chai Yan returned the gift and said kindly: "You must be Mr. Shi... Hello, hello, I am the new mover next door, my name is Chai Yan..."
Hearing that he was a new neighbor, Mr. Shi immediately enthusiastically introduced Chai Yan to his home and called his wife and children to come out to meet him and get acquainted with him.
Ordinary families don't have as many rules as wealthy families. There is no such thing as being inconvenient for women to show up in ordinary people's homes.
Mr. Shi's wife is about 25 or 26 years old. She has a normal face and a slightly stout figure. She seems to be strong.
After a few words of greeting, Chai Yan handed over the pork in his hand and said with a smile: "We will be neighbors from now on, haha..."
Mr. Shi's wife had long seen the fine pork in Chai Yan's hand, and now she quickly received it with a smile on her face, feeling very happy in her heart.
"Uh-huh!" Mr. Shi coughed deliberately and yelled in a suppressed voice: "It doesn't look like that!"
"Thank you, thank you Mr. Chai..." Mr. Shi's wife thanked him with a smile on her face.
Mr. Shi looked at the sky and felt that there was still time, so he asked: "May I ask where Mr. Chai will be employed?"
Chai Yan said: "I just found a job as an accountant yesterday, and I will go to work after noon today."
When Mr. Shi thought that something was wrong, he asked curiously: "Shouldn't the accounting office go to the accounting office early in the morning? Why do you have to go to work after noon?"
Chai Yan smiled and explained: "Oh, it's like this. The girls in Hexiangyuan are resting in the morning. If you go too early, you will disturb them..."
"Wait a minute Mr. Chai, the errand you are talking about is Mr. Accountant of Hexiangyuan?" Mr. Shi's expression immediately changed.
Chai Yan nodded and said, "Yes, is there anything wrong?"
The next moment, Mr. Shi suddenly stood up. Chai Yan was slightly startled, wondering what happened to him?
When I saw Mr. Shi, he held his fists with a straight face and said, "Mr. Chai, it's getting late. If I delay any longer, I'll be late. Can we talk next time?"
"Okay, okay, I'll take my leave now..."
Chai Yan returned to his yard and murmured as he closed the door: "You're still a teacher, but you don't understand the principle that there is no distinction between high and low in work!"
