Forget it, don’t go into details.
Li Wenjun said to Li Changming: "Yes, it was sold so quickly, so you have to make another set."
Li Changming pointed to the things under his hands: "It's almost finished."
Li Wenjun took a look and saw that it was indeed a set of identical tea tables and chairs. He shook his head and said, "After you finish this set, don't make this one again. Change the style. I'll give you new drawings tomorrow morning."
In fact, if he wants, he can go to the office and draw one right now. It will take five minutes, ten minutes at most, to give to Li Changming and the others.
But he was worried that if he drew it for them now, they would be so excited that they would spend the night making new ones.
Regardless of whether you can make money or not, it is true that it is life-threatening.
He was really tired, and he was also afraid that Li Changming, without thinking clearly, would grab him and ask him to draw another set now. After saying that, he immediately jumped on his bicycle and rode away in a hurry.
Li Changming saw Li Wenjun running so fast, thought about it, understood what Li Wenjun meant, and said to Chen Zichen: "Let's spend an hour polishing and varnishing this one, and then go back and have a good sleep. Come back tomorrow morning. The water flows slowly, and we stay up late like this. My body can’t bear it.”
Chen Zichen didn't understand, and asked: "Since this is easy to sell, why not strike while the iron is hot and make a few more sets of the same thing, and bother making other things?"
Li Changming explained: "The first set sold well because of its novelty. The second set sold well probably because the people who bought the second set didn't see the first set. When more people sold it, people thought it was so expensive. If the set is not interesting, it will be difficult to sell and it will also ruin the reputation.”
Chen Zichen thought for a while and nodded: "Sure enough, Comrade Li Wenjun is more powerful, he can think of these things."
Li Changming smiled: "I am a man who looks unreliable, but actually I have a lot of ideas, and I think very comprehensively. So in the future, you can rest assured and do as he says. As long as you are willing to do it, he will definitely not treat you badly." .”
Even Liu Dongsheng, who came to sweep the floor every day, was paid.
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Dongsheng came in.
When Liu Dongsheng saw the sawdust on the ground where they were, he quickly brought a broom over.
Li Changming said: "Don't worry about sweeping the floor, we still have to polish it. If you are free, bring some sandpaper and come over to help."
Liu Dongsheng hesitated, put down the broom, and brought a piece of sandpaper over.
Li Changming took a chair and said, "Come and see if you can polish the four legs."
Liu Dongsheng gave it a try.
Li Changming nodded: "That's it. Come on. All four legs are polished. I'll ask Li Wenjun to give you a salary increase."
Lao Wangtou was sweeping the floor outside. He stopped and listened and secretly laughed: They say Li Wenjun can summon people. It turns out he learned it from Li Changming. Li Changming is the master at summoning people. It is clear that the labor force is used in vain, but it seems to be a favor to others.
He shook his head and laughed as he swept the floor.
Black Stripe didn't know why, so he just wagged his tail at him.

When Li Wenjun returned home, he was so exhausted that he sat down on the sofa.
Gu Zhanyan was painting with Diandian. Seeing Li Wenjun like this, he couldn't help laughing: "Did you do hard work for a day? You are so exhausted."
Li Wenjun sighed: "Isn't it true? No matter how tired I am of being the boss, I am so exhausted."
Gu Zhanyan felt a little distressed, turned around, twisted a towel, brought herbal tea and handed it to Li Wenjun.
Li Wenjun wiped his face, took a sip of the cold herbal tea, and suddenly felt like he was resurrected with full blood.
Gu Zhanyan said, "Then just take a rest..." His tone was full of blame and distress.
Li Wenjun said: "It's okay. Today I mainly ran to several places in a row, and I was a little pressed for time. I wouldn't do it normally."
Fortunately, my body is very strong now, otherwise I would have suffered from heatstroke if I was running around in the sun like this.
Dot climbed onto Li Wenjun's body and reached out to touch Li Wenjun's face sympathetically: "Dad, I'm so pitiful."
Li Wenjun hugged her: "It's okay, just give me a little kiss and I'll be fine."
Diandian stuck her butt out, hugged Li Wenjun's face, kissed him many times, and asked, "Dad, are you feeling better?"
Li Wenjun felt happy in his heart, but he hummed: "It's better. A few more kisses will make it even better."
Diandian kissed a few more times and asked, "Are you ready?"
Li Wenjun replied: "It would be better if my mother could kiss me a few times."
Gu Zhanyan blushed and looked at Li Wenjun with anger and annoyance: You bastard, you actually used your child to take advantage of him.
Seeing Gu Zhanyan not moving, Diandian pouted and said, "Mom is not good."
Li Wenjun looked at Gu Zhanyan with a smile and sighed: "Oh, I'm so tired. I want a kiss."
Diandian's eyes were red: "Mom is not good." Dad is so tired, but mother still doesn't come to kiss him.
Gu Zhanyan could only reluctantly come over and touch Li Wenjun's cheek perfunctorily.
Li Wenjun reached out and hooked her waist. Gu Zhanyan couldn't stand anymore and fell directly on Li Wenjun.
She was angry and annoyed, and lightly patted Li Wenjun.
Li Wenjun pretended to yell: "Ouch."
Diandian frowned and whispered, "It's wrong to fight."
Gu Zhanyan could only smile gently: "Yes, fighting is wrong. Mom didn't hit dad, she just hit him on the shoulder."
Diandian burst into tears and smiled: "I like gentle mothers."
Gu Zhanyan held back his breath until he could only pinch Li Wenjun's waist from behind.
Li Wenjun almost died laughing. He hugged the two of them tightly and kissed them. He closed his eyes and leaned back on the sofa, murmuring: "I'm so happy."
-----
Li Changming came back before dinner and said to Li Wenjun: "Liu Dongsheng helped me do carpentry work today."
Everyone was stunned.
Gu Zhanyan quietly patted Liu Dongmei's back to comfort her.
Li Wenjun murmured: "Wow, Dad. Liu Dongsheng, you can develop into a carpenter. It won't be long before everyone in the entire mining area can be accepted as your apprentices."
Li Changming snorted: "Impossible."
Li Wenjun narrowed his eyes and smiled: "I will, I will, very soon."
Li Changming glanced at him: "You two brothers can't."
Li Wenjun choked up and smacked his lips: Why didn't I think of kicking the iron plate this time?
Liu Cuihong was in a particularly good mood today, humming a tune while serving the dishes.
She was happy because she sold the tablecloth today.
Before getting married, Liu Cuihong did farm work and housework at home. Not long after she got married, she followed Li Changming to the mining area and became a full-time housewife.
Everyone is busy, earning wages and creating value.
She was the only one cooking, washing clothes, cleaning and taking care of the children, and when she had free time, she would sit in front of the door in a daze.
When Li Wenjun grew up and went to school, she felt bored, so she cultivated a vegetable plot next to the row of houses where they lived. The vegetables she grew were basically self-sufficient, and she could sometimes give them to neighbors.
But she always felt empty in her heart, as if something was missing.
In the past two days, she has been making tablecloths under Li Wenjun's guidance and even sold them. She felt that the gap in her heart was suddenly filled.
