"Let's make money together? How?" Wu Xia became interested when he heard that there were ways to make money.
She doesn’t know when her novel will make money, and she doesn’t want to miss the opportunity to make money.
"A few of us hired some manual work from the shell carving factory in the town. The work is not difficult but time-consuming. If you are willing to do it, we will do it together." The fat sister said enthusiastically.
When Wu Xia heard that she could make money, she curiously inquired about it. The chat time flew by quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was already nine o'clock in the evening. She hurriedly took Mengmeng home.
After a night, at dawn, Xu Guoping and others came back dusty.
As soon as he reached the door, the guard called him.
"Platoon Commander Xu, here is your letter."
Xu Guoping took the letter over and saw that it was signed by the magazine and should be for Wu Xia.
Not knowing what was written on it, he put the letter in his pocket and headed home.
At this moment, Captain Cao strode over. When he saw Xu Guoping coming back, he smiled and patted his shoulder: "I knew this was nothing to you."
He thought for a moment and then said: "By the way, your sister-in-law just said that she wanted to take Wu Xia to work. Do you have any objection?"
Hearing what Captain Cao said, Xu Guoping was surprised. Wu Xia had changed so much. He knew how to take care of his family and children, but now he still wanted to make money to support his family?
As soon as he thought of this, Wu Xia's pretty little face appeared in his mind, and he wished he could go back and ask for details now.
If she really wanted to live with him, he would file for divorce right now.
Company Commander Cao saw a smile on Xu Guoping's face and patted him on the shoulder: "I told you, life is what you get through, and feelings are what they are. When you go back later, you can have a good relationship with others."
"Yes, I promise to complete the mission."
Seeing him like this, Captain Cao laughed.
Just when he was about to let Xu Guoping go back to rest, a soldier hurried over and gave the emergency telegram to Captain Cao.
"I understand." Company Commander Cao nodded to him, and then said apologetically: "Platoon Commander Xu, it seems that we won't be able to rest today. The company headquarters just received an urgent mission, and you have to make a trip."
"No problem, leave it to me." Xu Guoping said and was about to listen to Captain Cao's explanation of the mission. At this time, his hand touched the letter in his pocket.
Xu Guoping took out the letter and said to Platoon Leader Sun, who was standing next to Company Commander Cao: "Platoon Leader Sun, our two families are very close to each other. Please help me deliver this letter to Wu Xia."
Platoon leader Sun took the letter and took the time to return home at noon.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw that his mother and daughter were bruised and swollen. Li Xiulian did not dare to tell her son, but Sun Lan told her brother how she brought her children to play and how she was beaten, hoping that he would help him make the decision.
When Platoon Leader Sun heard that the fat sister came to the house to beat them, he knew that it was his sister who had caused him trouble again. After he listened to Sun Lan's words, Platoon Leader Sun said seriously: "Platoon Leader Xu is now married. , please stay away from now on. In addition, we will go to Fat Sister’s house soon and explain clearly the cause and effect of the matter. "
Thinking of this, he put down the letter in his hand and was about to take his sister to Fat Sister's house. At this time, someone else came to the door and shouted: "Platoon Commander Sun, Company Commander Cao is calling you, saying there is an urgent mission."
Upon hearing this, Platoon Leader Sun ran out quickly. After he left, Sun Lan picked up the letter on the table and saw the words Xu Guoping on it. She said to Li Xiulian: "Mom, I'm going to deliver a letter to brother Guoping." .”
As soon as she walked out of the door, Sun Lan opened the envelope, shook off the letter paper and started reading.
The letterhead said that the manuscript had been received, and the newspaper was going to schedule Wu Xia for publication. It was hoped that she could finish the manuscript within a month. At that time, the newspaper would set the price based on the manuscript fee. Now it is possible to pay Wu Xia a part of the deposit in advance.
At the bottom of the letter, he also wrote the editor's name, office phone number, and mailing address, saying that he hoped Wu Xia would have the opportunity to come to the magazine to have a detailed discussion with him.
Unexpectedly, it was a letter to Wu Xia, and that bitch also published an article? !
After reading it, Sun Lan was so angry that her whole body trembled slightly, and her eyeballs bulged out due to jealousy.
This bitch must be a blind cat who bumped into a dead rat. She came from the countryside. How can she be better than herself? The people in the magazine must be too busy to ask for her manuscript!
Sun Lan took a few deep breaths and her mood calmed down a little. Then she used both hands to tear the good letter paper into two halves.
"Hmph, let me see how you can contact the magazine?"
While muttering to herself, Sun Lan balled up the fragments and threw them directly into the trash can. Then she walked around the courtyard and returned home as if nothing had happened.
In the morning, Wu Xia woke up. After washing Mengmeng as quickly as possible, she took Mengmeng to Fat Sister's house.
She had already agreed with Fat Sister yesterday that today she would see how they made shell carvings, and after they finished the last painting, Fat Sister would take Wu Xia to the town to deliver the goods, and then let the factory The person in charge here wanted to see if he could get her a job doing shell carving.
"Fat sister, I'm here." Wu Xia opened the door and walked in.
As soon as the fat lady put away the table, two military wives came into the room with their own shell carvings and planned to work with her.
Seeing Wu Xia coming with Mengmeng, Fat Sister called Huzi and asked him to take Mengmeng to play in the courtyard.
Wu Xia had met the remaining two military wives yesterday. One was a thin-faced woman named Liu Aiqin, the daughter-in-law of the company instructor.
The other one with thicker lips followed her husband from the southernmost part of the army, named Xu Yun.
She doesn't have many relatives or friends here, but Fat Sister has taken good care of her since she came here. During the Chinese New Year, she asks her to make dumplings together, so she has a very good relationship with Fat Sister.
The two saw Wu Xia coming over and asked her to come to them. After Wu Xia watched Mengmeng and Huzi go out, she walked up to them and saw that each of them had a 30*30 drawing board in their hands.
“Are you just gluing shells on this?”
Wu Xia learned from the military wives yesterday that they were doing hand-painted shell carvings.
It is to stick various shells on the drawing board to form a handicraft.
This job is easy to say, just glue the shells on.
It’s hard to say it’s difficult, and people without training really can’t do it.
Military wives have to find suitable shells from shells of different shades and colors, and then paste them one by one according to the drawings given by the factory. It takes only a few years of skill to make the shell carvings perfectly seamless, real and natural, but it is impossible to do it. Completed tasks.
"Sister-in-law Wu Xia, I have your phone number." Just after watching for a while, a little soldier called.
Usually when someone calls at this time, there is something urgent. When the fat lady heard this, she said to Wu Xia: "We are not in a hurry. We will wait until you come back to learn. You answer the phone first."
"Yes." Wu Xia nodded and hurried away with the little warrior.
After picking up the phone, there was no word on the other end for a long time.
"If it's okay, I'll hang up." Wu Xia waited for a long time and hung up the phone when there was no sound on the phone.
On the other end, Xu Guoping heard Didi's busy tone coming from the receiver and laughed to himself.
He is really crazy!
As soon as the work was over, I suddenly wanted to hear her voice.
He didn't know what was wrong with him.
