C25 Pick up a good girl
Three days later, Rema Studio opened. The business wasn’t as good as he had imagined, but it wasn’t bad either. With Ma Xiaoan in action and the difficult Xia Lei taking action, the two of them had a clear division of labor. After a day of hard work, the net profit was 1,400 yuan, in addition to the cost of materials, water and electricity and the cost of rent.
“A little less.” Xia Lei said with slight dissatisfaction in his heart.
Ma Xiaoan was actually very happy, “Lei Zi, be content, we didn’t do much work and already earned 1400 yuan. In the past, we had to work on the construction site for a week to earn that much money.”
The average salary of the two was one hundred yuan a day when they worked on the construction site. It would take them a week to earn fourteen hundred yuan. To be able to earn so much in one day, this was already a huge improvement.
Xia Lei understood after he thought about it, he said, “If the people from the archaeology department gave us the fifty thousand, we would have earned more than fifty thousand. Before, if we wanted to earn this much, we would have to work together for at least a year.”
“The Archaeological Bureau belongs to the government. They won’t go back on their word. They’ll pay it sooner or later.” Ma Xiaoan said.
Then a woman appeared at the door. She was young, in her early twenties, with an apple face and big eyes. She was wearing a plaid short-sleeved shirt, and her large chest was stretched high and tight, as if the buttons might burst at any moment. She was wearing cheap denim shorts, and her hips were rounded and alluring. On the woman’s shoulder was a bundle of blue cloth, old and worn. A white towel peeked out from the corner of the bundle. It also looked dirty. With her attire, it was obvious that she came from the countryside.
Xia Lei probed: “May I ask, what business do you have with me?”
“I ?” The woman seemed a little nervous. “May I ask who is the boss here?”
Her words contained a trace of Shu Yin. She most likely came from the Shu area.
Before Xia Lei could say anything, Ma Xiaoan pointed at Xia Lei and laughed: “Girl, this is my boss, why are you looking for him?”
The woman seemed to have mustered up all her courage. She looked at Xia Lei and awkwardly bowed, “Boss, I, I ? Do you want people here? I can do anything, wash the dishes, carry the plates, clean the house, cook the rice… ”
Xia Lei laughed and said: “We are not in a restaurant, we do not need people to carry plates to wash the dishes. “I’m sorry, but you should go to the restaurant and ask.”
The woman bit her lips and left without any further hesitation.
Xia Lei’s gaze landed on her feet. She was wearing a pair of release shoes. Even in the countryside, very few women wear such shoes. Maybe it was because of the shoes, Xia Lei’s heart softened, following that he called out to the woman, “Wait, can you tell me why you are looking for a job?”
The woman looked at Xia Lei before avoiding his gaze, and said carefully: “Father is old, Qian Mo is working, my brother wants to study, he has no money, I don’t want him to leave school, so I came out to work.” As she said this, tears welled up in her eyes. “But, but I don’t have any craftsmanship. I asked a few restaurants and they’re all full. It’s not the season for hiring in the factory ?” “I’ve used up all my money, so I don’t know where to live tonight. I ?”
Xia Lei interrupted her, “You stay, I’ll give you 3000 months, take care of your food and shelter.”
“Huh?” The one who spoke out in surprise was not the woman who was looking for a job, but Ma Xiaoan.
The woman looked at Xia Lei gratefully, so excited that she couldn’t speak.
Ma Xiaoan pulled Xia Lei to the side and muttered: “I say, Lei Zi, why do you accept her? I know you are sympathetic to her situation, but there are too many people in this world who need sympathy. “Also, even if you want to accept her, you don’t need to give her such a high salary. For a village girl like her, he would be satisfied if you gave her 1500 yuan for food and shelter.”
Xia Lei said: “Didn’t I say to provide for my brother to study? “Let’s make less money and give her more. Their whole family will be better off, what’s wrong with that?”
Ma Xiaoan sighed, he knew that Xia Lei suddenly changed his mind and gave this woman such a high salary, and that was because her situation was similar to Xia Lei’s. He disapproved of hiring people because it was to save money, but since the studio’s owner was Xia Lei, and Xia Lei had made the decision, he had nothing to say.
Only then did the woman speak, “Boss, big brother, I ? I will start working now. What is there for me to do?”
Ma Xiaoan said snappily: Are you afraid that the boss will go back on his words? “Don’t worry, your boss is a good person and very kind. If he agrees to accept you, he won’t chase you away.”
The woman heaved a sigh of relief and quickly said, “Thank you, boss, thank you, big brother.”
Xia Lei laughed and said: “I am thanking you, so there is no need to be so polite. By the way, what’s your name? My name is Xia Lei, his name is Ma Xiaoan. ”
The woman said: “My name is Zhou Xiaohong.” Then, she thought of something and added, “Hello, Boss Lei. Hello, Brother Ma.”
Ma Xiaoan didn’t really feel comfortable in his heart at first, but with Zhou Xiaohong calling him boss and then calling him big brother, his sweet lips made him feel better. Furthermore, was a young, beautiful, rural girl. As a man, he could not always target her, right? That would be too ungracious.
“Don’t you have a place to live?” Xia Lei asked.
Zhou Xiaohong gently lowered her head and said with embarrassment, “Un, my money ? When I finished, the hotel owner kicked me out this morning. ”
Xia Lei thought for a while, “Why don’t you stay in the shop tonight? There is a steel wire bed in the shop. I’ll order you a takeaway later. You can have it. I’ll help you think of a way when you’re settled. ”
“Boss Lei, you’re such a nice person. Thank you, thank you.” Zhou Xiaohong kept thanking him.
Xia Lei laughed: “Look at you, you’re here again, don’t be so courteous in the future.”
Zhou Xiaohong laughed awkwardly, then said: “You don’t need to order takeout for me, just give me, just a box of instant noodles will do.”
Xia Lei said: “How can that be? “Xiao An, go to the Sichuan Cuisine across the street and get her a takeout. I’ll help her make her bed.”
“Oh.” Ma Xiaoan replied, but went over to Xia Lei’s side and said softly: “Don’t you have an empty house? Take me to your place, hehe. ”
Xia Lei stepped on Ma Xiaoan’s foot, “What nonsense is this, f * ck off!”
Ma Xiaoan bared his teeth and ran over to call for takeout for Zhou Xiaohong. In truth, he was only joking around. He knew that Xia Lei was not that kind of person. He wasn’t that kind of person, otherwise, he and Xia Lei wouldn’t have become friends.
Xia Lei opened the steel bed and covered it with cotton wool and blankets. This steel bed was left behind by the former owner, Master Jiang. He had rented new bedding and was planning to sleep here sometimes, but who knew that on the very first day of the studio’s opening, there would be a new village girl who would be available for her use.
“Boss Lei, how can I let you make up the bed for me? Let me do it.” While Xia Lei was tidying up the bed, Zhou Xiaohong pushed him away.
As Xia Lei watched her nimble hands and feet, he pondered about what kind of work he would give her tomorrow. Although he sympathized with her by giving her three thousand yuan for food and shelter, he couldn’t just give it to her for free. She had to work hard too. He thought to himself: “After receiving guests, she will definitely be the one to do the work but there is too little work to do. It would be better to teach her cooking skills. She can learn so fast at such a young age. He will be able to operate independently in less than two months.” “Yes, let her do some receiving and cleaning work first, and when he’s free, let her learn how to heat up and process the lathe.”
“Boss Lei, these are all new. How can I sleep?” Zhou Xiaohong made up the bed, but didn’t dare go up to sleep.
Xia Lei laughed and said: What’s there to be embarrassed about? You can stay here for the time being and wait until things get better before making any other plans. ”
“Yes, Boss Lei, you’re really a good person.” Zhou Xiaohong then said, “I ? I didn’t say thank you. ”
Xia Lei’s simple action made his laugh, he said: “Even if you said it, it doesn’t matter, I just don’t want you to be too polite. “Oh right, I have an idea. I don’t know if you’re willing or not.”
“What idea?” Zhou Xiaohong was inexplicably nervous. She subconsciously pulled at her half-opened collar, trying to hide some secret.
A man that could be considered a stranger suddenly suggested something and even asked if he was willing. It was normal for her to have this kind of reaction. Xia Lei found her more and more interesting. He smiled and said: “I want you to learn craftsmanship, welding and lathe processing. As long as you learn seriously, even if you go back to your hometown, you will have some craftsmanship.
“So that’s what you’re talking about?”
“What do you think I’m talking about?” Xia Lei laughed as he looked at her.
Zhou Xiaohong’s face immediately flushed red and she anxiously said: “N-nothing, of course I’m willing, I’ve always wanted to learn some techniques, but I don’t have the money to pay the tuition fees. My hometown is in the countryside, my family doesn’t have any capable relatives, so I never got what I wanted. Boss Lei, if you’re willing to teach me, I will definitely learn well. ”
Xia Lei said: “Then it’s decided, when there is a customer coming tomorrow, you will greet him, pour him a cup of water and ask him what he wants to do, and when there’s nothing else, you will learn from Ma Xiaoan and I.”
“Ma, Ma ? Ma ? Brother Ma, are you willing to teach me?” “I’m a little afraid of Zhou Xiaohong’s cowardly appearance.”
Just then, Ma Xiaoan walked in with a plate of takeout food, “What are you afraid of me for? Will I eat you? ”
It was only then that Zhou Xiaohong saw Ma Xiaoan coming in, and she quickly waved her hand, saying, “No no no, Brother Ma, I didn’t mean it that way, I meant ?”
Ma Xiaoan passed the takeout into Zhou Xiaohong’s hands, and said with a smile: “Don’t worry, as long as you are willing to learn, I will definitely not hold back and teach you everything.”
“Thank you, Brother Ma.” Only then did Zhou Xiaohong relax.
Ma Xiaoan smiled and said, “Also, I am a person who is even more kind and cute than your Boss Lei. In the future, you will realize that I can’t even count the advantages that I have.”
Zhou Xiaohong looked at Ma Xiaoan, then looked at Xia Lei. She pursed his lips and did not say anything, but she clearly did not think that way.
After settling Zhou Xiaohong down, it was already dark by the time Xia Lei and Ma Xiaoan left Lei Ma Workshop. Ma Xiaoan rode his tattered motorcycle back home, and then rode his motorcycle to leave.
When he returned home, Xia Xue had already prepared food and was waiting for him to eat.
After eating dinner, Xia Lei switched on the television, chose an English channel, and started watching.
Xia Xue who was cleaning up the dishes looked at Xia Lei curiously, “Brother, since when did you like to watch the English Channel? Can you understand? ”
Xia Lei laughed, “Of course I understand.”
Xia Xue tsked, “I don’t believe you. I don’t really understand it, how can you understand it?”
Xia Lei didn’t explain. Instead, he just watched the television and learned from the announcer on the television that he spoke English. He had memorized all the English words, as well as the relevant grammar, and all he lacked was the ability to speak. Once he had broken through the difficulty of speaking, there was no doubt that he would be a human translator. Of course, he could not tell Xia Xue this secret.
