Raising a Family [Rebirth]

Chapter 87

Wen Rui: "Did Yue Ting say he went down the mountain to get it?"

"Yes." Huo Qian snorted coldly, "It should be because I love you."

Wen Rui's heart warmed, and he forgot about the other party's bad behavior in the morning, "Well, it happens that I have to deliver water to every mountain, so I can't deliver water to you in time."

"So hard? Are you alone?"

"Yes, hang up first, I'm off to work."

Huo Qian hung up the phone and stared at Jiang Yueting, brat.

Regardless of his provocation, Jiang Yueting frowned and asked, "Do you have to send it to every mountain? He has to go four times."

Huo Qian sighed: "There is no way."

Jiang Yueting had no choice but to call Wen Rui with his mobile phone, "It's already three o'clock, and they can go down in an hour, you don't need to give it away."

"I still have to drink it tomorrow, so send it up in advance to save them from bringing it tomorrow."

Jiang Yueting: "For the four of them, it will be much more convenient for one person to take two bottles tomorrow than you can carry a whole bunch."

"But..." Wen Rui whispered away from the people in the yard, "They are working for us for free, and your Uncle Huo won't give them a salary increase at the end of the year. Fruit farmers feel a little uncomfortable doing so much work for nothing. Besides Huo Qian's friends all work for free, and we can help with some things if we can."

Jiang Yueting was silent for a while and said: "Then I will send the three here, and you can send the other two."

"No need, you are so tired from running up and down." Wen Rui knew that the other party was considerate of him, but he was not willing to let him work more.

"I'm not tired, I'm going down the mountain, you just have to get your things ready." Jiang Yueting said as he hung up the phone and went down the mountain.

Wen Rui watched the call end and sighed.

The two ran several mountains separately, Wen Rui came down at 04:30, Jiang Yueting had already returned, and was washing his face in the yard.

Wen Rui looked at him with embarrassment, but seeing that his back was wet, he felt distressed. He walked over and asked, "Are you tired?"

Water drops hung on Jiang Yueting's pretty face, he shook his head, "I have to go, I have to go home and take a shower, and then I have to go back to school for evening self-study."

Wen Rui hurriedly said: "Then you go, be careful on the road. Oh, by the way, I didn't feed Pangpang today."

"I put the bag of dog food where it can see it, and it will eat it by itself."

"It's not good for its stomach. The doctor said to eat less and more meals. Eating too much at once hurts its stomach."

"Don't worry, it's picky, it doesn't want to taste the dog food when it's full."

Wen Rui thinks about it too, "Then you go back quickly, don't be late. After you change your clothes, throw them there. I'll go back and wash them. Remember to eat."

"Yeah." Jiang Yueting looked at him, "Remember not to eat too late, the last bus leaves at seven o'clock, you have to leave at six o'clock, don't drink today." His brother's stomach couldn't stand drinking for two consecutive days.

As soon as Wen Rui mentioned drinking, he thought of what happened yesterday, and he said awkwardly: "I won't drink anymore, I promised you."

"Yeah." Jiang Yueting was in a good mood seeing Wen Rui's bewildered look. After admiring him for a while, he walked around Wen Rui to the gate of the courtyard, and when he passed by, he said, "It's been deleted."

Wen Rui looked back at his back in a daze after hearing the words, this child is really...

Today, when the aunts were cooking, Wen Rui took a break.At the dinner table, the uncles began to persuade them to drink again, but Wen Rui refused all of them on the pretext of feeling sick to his stomach.

He ate in peace, chatted with them for a while, said that he had to catch a bus, and left early.

When he went back, he washed Jiang Yueting's changed clothes, and then took out yesterday's and today's ledger and money.

He sat on the sofa to check accounts, and Pangpang sat next to him.

More than 70 people came today. Because it was the weekend and high school students did not attend classes, more than 20 people took vouchers.But the students didn't pick the fruit, so if they bought it, they would buy two catties of oranges or pears.

Wen Rui tapped the coffee table with a pen, took out his mobile phone and called Huo Qiming.

He gave the general situation, mainly because it was newly opened in the past two days, and the ticket price was half price. After excluding labor costs, the money earned was a little higher than that of Huo Qiming selling fruits directly.

"Tomorrow is Monday, and almost no one will come on weekdays. I think it can be stopped for five days." Wen Rui scratched his forehead, "Actually, I want to start group tickets."

"Group ticket?"

"Don't elementary school students have spring and autumn outings? This season should be fine. The group ticket is about 30 people per person, and [-] people in a class, which is quite a lot. But I can't contact you. I might have known him when I was still a tutor. There are more parent associations, and it is easier to do publicity, but now there is no other way.”

Huo Qiming said after a while: "Let me come. Some of my classmates are teachers, both primary and junior. Let me ask first, I don't know if it will work."

Wen Rui knew that when he usually asked for help, he was only looking for friends and brothers, and his classmates were far away from Huo Qiming.

"At that time, treat them to a meal, pack two boxes of oranges and pears and send them there."

Huo Qiming didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he carefully gave himself an idea: "Well, I know. Are you still worried about me? This matter is clearly my business, why does it feel like you are begging me to do something?"

Wen Rui laughed: "You and Huo Qian have similar personalities."

Huo Qiming laughed twice and calmed down, he said solemnly: "Thank you."

Wen Rui said softly: "Relax, don't feel that you owe me anything, maybe one day I will need your help when I encounter trouble? This is what you said to me, and I will return it to you verbatim."

Huo Qiming's finally brewing emotions were destroyed by him, he said helplessly: "You really..."

"Okay, let's not talk about this. Is your barbecue grill still there? I want to move the grill there. If the children want to come over, I can bake something for them. You can mention it to your classmates. There are more discounts. They should come and see."

"Well, you're right."

"What about you? Have you found a partner yet?"

Huo Qiming: "Contacted a lot of small orders, there is no way, the legs of mosquitoes are also meat."

Wen Rui pondered for a while and said slowly: "Actually, I think that if the farmhouse is done well, it will be an advantage. On the one hand, it can make money, and at least it can solve the urgent needs of this year. On the other hand, it can help your family's pears and Oranges for publicity. I remember that your original partner was not from Huaicheng, right? The people in Huaicheng don’t know much about your fruit, but after some publicity, they should like it.”

Huo Qiming is not stupid, he understands everything: "You mean to build your own brand? In the future, I won't need to contact other people, and I will produce and sell it myself?"

"Yes, not only fruits, but also vegetables. Nowadays, people pay attention to health preservation. You put vegetables and fruits on a high mountain, and promote them as green, organic and healthy. In addition, the quality of your fruits and vegetables is good. , there must be a lot of customers who want to buy it. Of course, this is just a preliminary idea, and you can think about it after you have been busy for a while."

Huo Qiming was thoughtful: "Well, the idea is quite good, but it depends on the effect of this farmhouse fun."

"Do my best to help you."

Huo Qiming: "Then do I have to go over and help? I always feel that I have made very little progress here, and I will leave you to do it alone..."

"I'm busy here, you can just do your own thing at ease. After all, the number of people who come to the farmhouse will be saturated. As for selling fruit, while you are looking for people, I will find a way to stimulate tourists' consumption."

"Don't think too much, go to bed early, your family Yueting will come to see me when you are tired and sick."

Wen Rui was not annoyed by his teasing: "I have nothing to do, I don't have to worry about the store, I really want to find something for myself."

"Are you working hard?"

Wen Rui laughed: "Probably, I'm still young anyway. This feeling is like solving a math problem. I like the process of solving problems."

"...I enjoy the moment of spending money more." Just after finishing speaking, both of them laughed.

"Wait, someone called me."

Wen Rui heard the words and said: "Then hang up first, and I will think about other things."

"Okay, don't be too tired."

Huo Qiming quickly replied to Wen Rui. He said that the two classmates agreed to help, but one of them was the head teacher and she had the right to choose, and the other had to discuss with the head teacher.

After the weekend, Wen Rui asked Huo Qian to go back to school.

"But you are too busy?"

"There are still five days left. I have enough time to contact part-timers. You can go back to class at ease." After Wen Rui persuaded, Huo Qian reluctantly agreed.

"Then let me know something."

"Yes, I will."

Although he doesn't have to be in charge of the farmhouse these days, Wen Rui is still very busy. He is contacting the part-time staff who sell tickets on weekends, and he has to come up with a plan.

After thinking about it, he decided to find high school students. First, the students often come to the store to eat and get to know each other well. Second, he can't always keep an eye on how those people are doing. The service attitude is very important. It would be troublesome to leave a bad impression, but he was still willing to believe that those children would do well.

At night, Wen Rui sat on the bed and talked to himself.

Jiang Yueting leaned on the pillow to read a book, heard him mumbling, and asked, "Is it a weekend?"

"Yes, but do you have classes on Saturday?"

"The Saturday of the first year of high school is a make-up class, and you can make up any class that is poor. There are also many people who choose not to go to class."

Wen Rui said in surprise: "We used to have to go to class on Saturdays. But do you still need to make up? Why do you go to school every week?"

"...you want me to skip class?"

Wen Rui shook his head again and again: "That's not true."

"The books are at school, I am too lazy to memorize them, I will go to school on Saturdays to do the questions."

Wen Rui was a little embarrassed: "I need about ten people. I don't know if I can find them. If you say that, I'm worried that it will affect the students' class. I'll think of another way."

Jiang Yueting flipped through the pages of the book and said unhurriedly, "You can look for poor students. There are a few in the class with good academic performance, and there is no need to make up lessons on Saturday."

"Are they willing to come over? That's fine. They can spend [-] yuan a day and [-] yuan two days. They usually don't spend much in the school cafeteria. They can earn a week's living expenses in two days." Wen Rui is very happy to take this opportunity For those students, he was making money while taking care of his studies back then, and he had a full schedule. He would choose to skip classes without affecting his grades, but that was not advisable for him.

"I don't know, let me ask for you. But there must not be so many people, count me as one, and eight are enough."

Wen Rui corrected him: "Nine."

"I can take charge of a mountain by myself."

"...No, that's too tiring. If there are too many people going, you won't be able to handle it."

Jiang Yueting didn't care what he said, just said: "Ask for you tomorrow."

Wen Rui had concerns in his heart, "Let's say goodbye, I'm always afraid of delaying their classes. After all, it's high school, and everyone is very nervous about studying."

Jiang Yueting said lightly, "Since they are ready to go, they have to take this risk. They spend their study time during the day working part-time, and they find extra time to catch up with the progress that has fallen behind. This is not within our concern. You As I said, people have to be responsible for their own actions, so we don’t need to give them guidance.”

"...I can't say you, but it's still their choice." Wen Rui hesitated for a while, "Are the students in your class only 15 years old?"

"Basically all sixteen."

Jiang Yueting is the youngest. He just passed his 15th birthday before school started.

"Sixteen is okay? No way." Wen Rui hesitated, he always felt that this age was too young, but... But it shouldn't be considered a child laborer, he thought guiltily.

"Are you sure you're all sixteen?"

Jiang Yueting nodded: "Yes."
