The residents in the courtyard discussed animatedly. Don't underestimate a dime. It could buy a catty of noodles and a catty of cabbage.
They could also watch two small movies, buy two large fried dough twists, or buy ten candies.
Yan Bugui pushed up his glasses. He wanted to earn money too. It wasn't illegal to ride a tricycle. It was considered hard labor.
If you have a tricycle, it's not a problem for you to carry passengers and earn money. You're still an ordinary citizen.
However, if you rented a few cars to others and collected rent, you would become a merchant.
"I'm going back to take a shower. I woke up too early today, so I'm sleepy.”
After Li Wuwei finished watching the show, he went home.
The residents in the courtyard did not leave for a long time. Some of them even waited until He Daqing returned.
"Old He, how much have you earned?"
Yan Bugui was thinking about this. Riding a tricycle was much better than doing anything else. He could get cash on the spot.
"It's not much, just twenty cents."
He Daqing grinned. A chef who didn't know how to ride a tricycle was not a good man.
"Aiyo, this is no different from going out for a walk. You've already earned twenty cents?”
Yan Bugui had calculated it and quickly said,"Why don't you lend me your tricycle to ride around a few times during your weekend break?"?”
Without waiting for He Daqing's reply, Silly Zhu became anxious." Third Master, that won't do! I still have to change shifts during the weekend. Li Wuwei has already said that the car won't stop.
My tricycle has never rested since I bought it!”
"Silly Zhu, you're a cook, you want to ride a tricycle?”
Yan Bugui was anxious. He still wanted to make some money to support his family.
"What's wrong with being a cook? It's glorious to work. It's not embarrassing to ride a tricycle to earn money and marry a wife.”
Silly Zhu suddenly thought it through. His father and uncle both rode three-wheelers. This was a three-wheeler family, they weren't afraid of people talking about them.
Yan Bugui was speechless. Yes, it was glorious to work. If you dared to say that riding a three-wheeled motorcycle was embarrassing, then you must have a problem with your thinking!
He Daqing laughed happily." Let's go, Silly Zhu. Go back and order some crispy peanuts and drink half a cup!"”
"Alright!"
Silly Zhu was also happy. His family's life was getting better and better.
"Aiya, this Li Wuwei kid is really framing Silly Zhu! Why didn't you give me the chance?”
Yan Bugui was filled with regret as he had missed the opportunity to earn money.
"Brother, what's going on outside? Everyone in the backyard is running out.”
Qin Huairu had already heated up the water. There was a fire in the stove, so she did not go and watch the show.
"It's nothing. It's just that I became a good person again, allowing the Old He family to earn money.”
Li Wuwei didn't explain further and went to take a shower.
The next day, he woke up quite early and rested early at night. He could not sleep for that long, so he woke up naturally.
When he went to the toilet, he found Cai Wuwu washing clothes in the middle of the courtyard.
"Lao Cai, you didn't go pedaling?"
"Brother Li, my brother went to ride the tricycle early in the morning. He came back for lunch at noon, and I will take his place in the afternoon.”
Cai Wuyou had already figured out Brother Li's background. He was amazed that he was willing to let his wife take over the position while he rested at home every day.
If he could have a wife, even if it was a widow, he would have to treat her well. How could he order her around like this?
"That's not bad. Uncle Ho is a hardworking person. He will get a wife sooner or later.”
As Li Wuwei spoke, he stepped forward and handed out a cigarette. He also took one.
Cai Wuwu quickly wiped his hands clean and took out a match to light it for Brother Li.
"Lao Cai! You're a good person. You should stay in this courtyard in the future. If anyone bullies you, just come and find me. I'll help you settle it.”
Li Wuwei recalled that Cai Wuyou had made his fortune from a widow he had found while riding a tricycle.
However, the widow was quite good-looking. Compared to the White Widow who had run away, she was not inferior at all. She was also much younger.
Now that He Daqing was also riding a three-wheeled motorcycle, and the two of them looked the same, would there be two brothers fighting over the same widow?
If Silly Pillar also joined in the fight, it would be lively.
She couldn't think about it anymore. If she thought too much, she would easily become a widow.
In the blink of an eye, it was noon. He Daqing came back to change shifts. He looked happy and straightened his back.
In fact, it was not that He Daqing could not find a job, but that he disliked the low pay and the lack of leisure time in the rolling mill.
"Old He, you must have earned quite a lot here!"
"It's Li Wuwei. I didn't earn much, just over a dollar.”
He Daqing was not flustered at all. He could earn 30 to 40 yuan a month by working half a day. In addition, he had his younger brother and son. The three of them earned money. The Old He family was going to rise in the hospital.
"That's good. It's a good deal."
Li Wuwei gave him a thumbs up. If he didn't have gastric problems…Forget it, he wouldn't have ridden a tricycle.
When Cai Wuyou came back at night, he had also earned more than one yuan.
This caused another sensation in the courtyard. Who didn't walk every day? It was no easier than pedaling. The key was that pedaling could earn money.
"Old He's family is going to live a good life. I heard that it was Li Wuwei's idea.”
"What do you mean by 'heard'? That's the truth. I saw him persuade the He family to buy a tricycle and let the He brothers ride it.”
"Li Wuwei doesn't work, but there's nothing wrong with his brain. He's good at scheming and making money better than us.”
"That's right. He didn't spend a single cent on the banquet and set up fifteen tables. In the end, he even earned ten yuan.”
"Sigh! If Li Wuwei was more diligent and thrifty, his family wouldn't be so poor.”
The residents sighed. Li Wuwei's character was bad, but his brain was good. Heaven was unfair.
"Bah! How could riding a three-wheeled motorcycle be better than working as a worker?”
Jia Zhang-shi's red eyes flared up as she looked at Old He's house next door around the corner. The two brothers were making a lot of money. Her Dongxu only earned eight hairs a day and had four days off every month without any pay. This made her feel stifled.
"Dongxu, work hard in the factory. In the future, you will be a senior worker like your uncle.”
Jia Zhang-shi said, and her heart ached. The two brothers of the He family earned more than two yuan in a day, and when they went out at night, they would have to pay three yuan.
How could she spend all of it? She didn't even know to send her family some money. It was all because the neighbors didn't know how to help each other.
" Mom, I'll work hard. Just wait a little longer. I'm only in my third year as an apprentice. I'll get 27.50 yuan, the same as Qin Huairu's salary.”
Jia Dongxu was also sad when he talked about this. He was busy every day, but he didn't earn as much as his ex-girlfriend.
"Yes! In my opinion, Li Wuwei is a fool. Why would he give the Old He family advice if he didn't ride the tricycle? Isn't that being a good person? Can't he be more stable and continue to be a bad person?”
Jia Zhang-shi couldn't figure it out. How could Li Wuwei be so kind?
"Mom, I think Li Wuwei will definitely want to borrow money from Silly Zhu's father. Just wait and see, He Daqing never borrows money from others.”
As soon as Jia Dongxu finished speaking, he was slapped in the face.
Chen Bi Hua lifted the curtain and got up. She was arranged to go out and inquire about Li Wuwei's banquet.
Because the people in the hospital had been avoiding Jia Zhangshi recently and didn't like Jia Dongxu, the two of them hadn't figured out the reason until now.
"Mom, Dongxu, I've asked clearly. Li Wuwei asked everyone to give him gifts first and even borrowed more than a hundred yuan from Uncle He before holding the banquet.
After receiving the worker's gift, he returned the borrowed money and earned ten yuan.”
When Chen Bi Hua said this, she felt that it was ridiculous. This was something that a human could do. If it was called immoral, then someone else had already prepared a drink.
She seemed to have deceived everyone again when she said that she was a good person.
"What is it? How could Li Wuwei do this?"
Jia Zhang was dumbfounded. Why didn't she think of that?
Jia Dongxu was also stunned. He felt hurt again. So this was how he was schemed against, causing him to not be able to hold a banquet until now.
……
Amidst the noise, New Year's Day arrived!
The rolling mill only worked for half a day, and there was a big meal in the afternoon. Every worker was given a meal voucher, and they could have a free meal in the canteen. In the end, Qin Huiru returned with two of them.
"Brother, this is for you. When you reach the canteen at noon, you can get two meat dishes, two vegetables, and two white noodles.”
Qin Huairu took out the meal coupons as if she was presenting a treasure.
"No, why would you have an extra scroll?”
Li Wuwei was a little dumbfounded. How could his wife have such ability?
"This is yours. You resigned this month, so I haven't calculated your salary for a few days.
You can't miss out on the benefits you deserve this month. I even helped you get labor insurance today and two pairs of gloves.”
Qin Huairu knew how to live her life. When she heard that the month she resigned was considered a benefit, she asked the workshop manager for an extra meal ticket.
"Huai Ru, this is good!"
Li Wuwei really did not expect Qin Huairu to be so shrewd now. She knew how to learn from him and take advantage of the rolling mill.
"Alright, I'll send you to the factory tomorrow morning. After that, I'll go to the station to pick up our parents. At night, we'll set up a table in the small courtyard to celebrate New Year's Day.”
It was not easy to take a break now. Usually, they had one day off a week. Throughout the year, they could only take three days off during National Day and Spring Festival!
Moreover, there was no holiday on New Year's Day. The holiday would start from the first day of junior high school to the third day of junior high school. This class would be very busy.
