When Zheng Bajin got up, it was already ten o'clock and he was busy cooking. Finding that the kitchen had been cleaned, Wang Dingmei said a little embarrassedly: "I originally wanted to cook, but I don't know how to use your fire."
"It's okay. I'll get a rice cooker later. It'll be very convenient to use." Zheng Bajin said, starting to turn on the electric stove and boil some water first. "From now on, you three will live here, and I have to go back to the village. Go watch them plant trees.”
"Brother, please take me back to the village. I can't do anything here." As soon as Wang Dingmei heard that Zheng Bajin was planting trees in the village, she thought that was her strength.
"It's okay, take your time. You learn to cook first, and then help cut the meat when you have time. Otherwise, I won't worry about it when I go back." Zheng Bajin said.
He also wanted to take this woman back to the village to plant trees. He knew that she was an expert in this field, but he was really worried about Qingqing being alone in the city. He had to look after the store and beware of villains. One more person would always is a good thing.
She thought that this was equivalent to taking Zheng Bajing's money for free, which was really embarrassing. However, Zheng Bajing said, "Don't worry, I will give you one hundred yuan a month."
"It's too much. I really can't accept the money." Wang Dingmei never thought that she could get such a high salary by helping to cook, which is much better than farming in the village.
"Almost, no need to talk about it." Zheng Bajin said, already putting water in the pot with rice and teaching her how to cook rice on the electric stove.
Wang Dingmei has never made rice before. In the past, she used to steam corn rice in a steamer.
However, she learned quickly and understood it after reading it once. In fact, the technique of cooking rice is not too simple compared to steaming corn rice. You just need to control the amount of water, and when the time comes, bake it slowly.
Zheng Bajin also taught him how to turn on and off the electric stove and how to cook. Then, he went out alone and came back soon after buying a rice cooker in a department store.
Wang Dingmei had already cooked the rice, and Zheng Bajin taught her how to use the rice cooker.
Wang Dingmei is also a shrewd person and learns everything quickly. She felt heartbroken when she saw that Zheng Bajin spent his money freely, spending a hundred yuan on a cooking utensil.
At the same time, I discovered what kind of life others lived, and what kind of life I lived. I had lived twenty years in vain.
She made up her mind to follow Zheng Bajin and create a good living environment for Liu Yi in the future.
At this time, hearing Liu Yi's cry, Wang Dingmei wiped her hands and wanted to hug her.
Zheng Bajin said hurriedly: "No, I'll just go and hold you."
Wang Dingmei wanted to say no, go by herself, but Zheng Bajin had already trotted into the guest bedroom and took Liu Yi out.
Strangely enough, Liu Yi stopped crying when she was in Zheng Bajin's hands and looked at him with a smile. Sure enough, she was still a godfather!
Wang Dingmei took it and changed the child into a clean piece.
They were cut out of rotten clothes. Zheng Bajin couldn't help but frown and said, "No, let's buy some soft cotton cloth. This way, the water absorption will be better."
"No need, you can just cut the unwanted rotten clothes into small pieces. Why waste money? I spent a lot of money on it. I really feel bad about it." Wang Dingmei said awkwardly.
"It's okay. It will be deducted from your salary in the future. Besides, Liu Yi is also my goddaughter. It is my duty to buy things for her." Zheng Bajin said, went into the master bedroom, and took the Qingqing He took out the two old clothes and said, "You can also use the rotten clothes, they seem to be softer."
"Brother, this dress is still good. It's a pity to cut it." Wang Dingmei said with some heartache, but Zheng Bajin didn't care about this and had already started to cut it.
This is a piece of clothing that Qingqing couldn't bear to throw away, so she just took this opportunity to put it to good use.
Qingqing had already gotten up and was washing her face. She felt heartbroken when she saw her clothes being cut into small pieces by Zheng Bajin.
Zheng Bajin saw her expression and said with a smile: "Why are you reluctant to make a short film for your goddaughter?"
Qingqing was like this, willing to spend money to buy clothes for a poor person like Wang Dingmei, but reluctant to part with her own old clothes.
This is not because she is stingy, but because she is frugal.
However, I heard that it was a small film for Liu Yi, so I didn’t say anything more. Instead, he took Liu Yi from Wang Dingmei's hand and started to play with it.
Liu Yi, a child who didn't recognize life at all, was all smiles in Qingqing's arms.
Soon, Wang Dingmei prepared the meal, and the three of them ate. Zheng Bajin took them to the store and opened the business again.
The business of the ham shop that has been closed for a long time has been greatly affected, and it will not recover for a while.
Zheng Bajin is not in a hurry. Anyway, there is not much inventory now. It is best to wait until autumn. Then, he can purchase ham from the village to replenish the supply.
After working with the two women for two days to get them basically used to it, Zheng Bajin returned to the village to see how the tree planting was going.
Wang Dingmei also wanted to return to the village with Zheng Bajin, saying that that was where she could use her labor force.
Zheng Bajin refused to let him go, saying that even if he went back, he wouldn't be allowed to go to the ground. He had to take care of the children. He couldn't let Liu Yi get tanned. After all, she was also his goddaughter, so he couldn't treat her badly.
Wang Dingmei disagreed at first, as women in the village were all like this, taking their children to the fields and letting her play in the mud freely.
If the conditions are better, a big umbrella is provided for the child. If the conditions are not good, the child is completely left to fend for himself and bask in the sun as he pleases.
Zheng Bajin refused to give in and gave many bad examples. For example, some children were bitten by ants when they were left in the field, and they were infected with viruses, leaving scars all over their bodies.
Others are directly bitten by snakes, with disastrous consequences and a lifelong regret.
Wang Dingmei had never thought that there could be such a terrifying thing. After thinking about it, she felt that what he said was reasonable. No matter how hard it was, she could not suffer the child. She decided to stay and accompany Qingqing. The child was also taken with her, killing two birds with one stone.
Zheng Bajin saw it and left with peace of mind. Before leaving, he gave Secretary Zhao's phone number and told her that if anyone dared to cause trouble, call her for help.
Zheng Bajin was not in a hurry to return to the village. Instead, he went to the department store, spent 5,000 yuan on a Qianjiang motorcycle, and rode directly back to Shili Village.
Originally, I planned to buy a second-hand car, but it was too expensive. Even if it was 50% new, it would cost tens of thousands of dollars. It would be better to ride a motorcycle first, use the money to develop your career, and make a lot of money in the future. , and buy a better Poussin.
At this moment, Zhang Xiaoyang had already finished work and returned to the factory, where he saw Zheng Bajin coming back on a motorcycle.
He rushed over and asked in surprise: "Did you just buy it or borrow it from someone?"
"Of course I bought it. It's just a motorcycle. Do I need to borrow it from someone?" Zheng Bajin joked and said, "How is the situation now? How many trees have been planted?"
"There are more than two hundred trees. The problem now is that there is a shortage of saplings, so the prices are starting to rise." Zhang Xiaoyang spread his hands and said helplessly.
