Chapter 99 Do You Want to Start a Side Job?

Song Yu Nuan and Zhao Li agreed that she would call after she asked clearly.

So, both parties hung up the phone.

Song Yu Nuan put a dollar on the clip next to the phone and wrote her name on it to prove that the call was not in vain.

You know, the phone bill is very expensive now.

Chu Zizhou didn't say anything.

But his spirit was obviously different from before, and he seemed to have been away for a while.

That's right, he was a playboy, maybe to hide from something, and it happened that he was also in Erdaohe, and it happened that Gu Huaian had some plans for her, so he came to be the team leader.

In fact, his work direction is right, so it is going well.

Even if this year is a disaster year, looking at the current situation, there should be no problem.

But Chu Zizhou's novelty should have passed.

So he looked a little listless.

You know, his home is in Beidu, even in 1980, it was Beidu, how could it be compared with the remote Erdaohe?

Song Yunuan stared at Chu Zizhou for a long time. Chu Zizhou asked in confusion: "Didn't you finish the call? Do you have anything else to do?"

Song Yunuan's eyes sparkled: "Captain Chu, do you want to do some side business?"

Chu Zizhou looked at Song Yunuan suspiciously: "Making hair flowers and shoulder bags?"

Song Yunuan: "No, no, no, there is not so much fabric, but let me make an assumption with you."

Chu Zizhou: "What if?"

"If we weave a thousand straw hats for summer, both men's and women's, can you sell them?"

Chu Zizhou was stunned for a moment.

Song Yunuan said: "Come with me to my house, I'll show you the samples."

In this era, people still like to wear straw hats in summer.

Whether they are city dwellers or country people.

Looking back at the propaganda brochures of the 1980s, there are many people wearing straw hats.

Of course, it can also be called a cool hat.

Although Chu Zizhou had nothing to do at this time, he was not very interested.

Although he had a branch secretary, he felt more and more tired, the kind of exhausted physically and mentally.

It seems that compared to the remote Erdaohe where there is not even a supply and marketing department, even if he goes back to face the anger of his family, it is actually nothing big.

It is too boring here.

He has been here long enough.

Even though he is very busy every day, many things, after the novelty has worn off, are not interesting.

If it were not for Song Ting, he would have run away long ago.

But he dare not say this to anyone.

He dare not even mention it.

In fact, up to now, except for that condolence performance, he only met her once on the street when he went to the county town to do business. He should have said a few words, but he was nervous and actually said a few words, ah, Comrade Song, ah, goodbye!

Just like a stupid roe deer.

Fortunately, he is good at pretending, his face is calm, and you can't tell what he is thinking.

Otherwise, he would be embarrassed.

It feels that there is almost no hope for him and Song Ting.

Because there is no intersection at all.

From the condolence performance to now, Song Ting has not returned home.

Besides, even if he returns home, what else can he do?

He has been very depressed these days.

If he hadn't remembered his grandfather's happy laughter when he heard his bold words about settling down in the countryside and leading the villagers to live a good life, he would have left here and ran back to Beidu.

Really, he can do it.

Originally, he didn't want to go to see any straw hats, but it was difficult to refuse Song Yu Nuan's face. Don't ask why it was difficult to refuse face. If you ask, it was for Gu Huaian's face.

The brigade headquarters was not far from the Song family.

Chu Zizhou said to the old man Sun who was cooking: "Uncle, I will be back soon. If you are hungry, you can eat first, and you can go back after you are done."

"Okay, okay, you go ahead, Captain Chu." He smiled at Song Yu Nuan.

He also ate here, but Song Liang said that there are many differences between city people and country people in eating. Let's not talk about other things first. The most important thing is to make it clean. Let them eat by themselves, and don't follow them. Although Chu Zizhou looks easy to talk to, he is a city kid after all. He is embarrassed to say you, but you have to give him a process of adaptation.

Song Liang said it tactfully, and Old Sun heard it clearly.

So he got along well with Chu Zizhou.

Chu Zizhou and Song Yunuan walked to the Song family. On the way, Chu Zizhou suddenly said to Song Yunuan: "Don't call me Uncle Chu in front of Gu Huaian in the future, okay?"

Song Yunuan widened her eyes in surprise and asked in confusion: "You clearly asked us to change our words in front of him, why did you change your mind again?"

Then he asked excitedly: "What's wrong, did he say anything to you?"

Chu Zizhou glanced at Song Yunuan. Even in Beidu, he had never seen such a cunning little girl. He had to be careful when talking to her.

"I didn't say anything. You don't study all day, you're just wandering around, what do you want to do?" Chu Zizhou didn't answer, but started to lecture her.

Song Yu Nuan pouted, one by one, they all liked to use study to evade her.

"Why do you always talk about my study?"

"You are young, what do you want to do if you don't study?"

Erdao River is so small, where is the place for you to splash around?

Song Yu Nuan: "I'm not reviewing, I'll go to high school in September."

While talking, they arrived at the Song family.

Song Yu Nuan asked Old Song to take out his straw hat for Captain Chu to appreciate.

Old Song immediately went to the warehouse and took down the two straw hats hanging on the wall. This one was new, and it was really beautiful.

Song Yu Nuan put a small straw hat on her head and said to Chu Zizhou: "Captain, do you think it would look better if there was a silk cloth with a bow on it? By the way, there should be some for sale in Beidu. Do you know how much it costs?"

Chu Zizhou looked at the straw hat and said casually: "I'm not sure, but if there is a bow, it will cost at least one yuan."

Old Song took a breath and said: "It's so expensive, isn't it?"

He used to rent the team's horse carriage, and he only earned one yuan after collecting firewood for a day, excluding the rental fee.

Such straw hats are not exaggerated. In a day, he can weave seven or eight of them like playing.

Song Yu Nuan took off the hat and handed it to Chu Zizhou: "There are many people in our village who can weave straw hats. The raw materials are everywhere, so the material cost is very low. The most expensive is labor."

Chu Zizhou fiddled with the straw hat, thinking.

Song Yu Nuan continued to persuade him: "Although the production in Erdaohe is distributed to each household, there is still surplus labor. If this sideline business can be developed, Erdaohe will be able to turn around in an instant, and your achievements will also be brilliant."

"It is not difficult to weave straw hats, but it is difficult to sell them. But you have connections, and many people are particularly supportive of your work. Now that summer is coming, we can take this opportunity to start a sideline business to generate income. It is completely possible."

Chu Zizhou looked at Song Yu Nuan and had to admit that this girl was very smart.
