“Alright.” Su Hanyan’s voice was filled with laughter.
Su Jingrui was in a good mood, whistling as he walked away.
Although Su Hanyan’s rented house was large, it wasn’t difficult to renovate it. Su Jingrui found some workers and spent three days painting the walls inside and outside the house. The walls were exceptionally white. Since it was a class, there must be a blackboard. Su Jingrui instructed the workers to paint the blackboards on the front and back walls.
The floor of the classroom was full of potholes and was not very flat. He spent money to buy cement and made the floor again. He let it dry for seven or eight days.
He also made a trip to the wood factory and specially ordered a large wooden sign. After his little sister had given the school a name, he would get someone to write it with a brush.
It took a total of ten days to renovate the house. The custom-made tables and chairs were all in place. Su Jingrui supervised the workers to arrange the desks neatly before settling the salary.
Over the past few days, Su Hanyan had spent more than half of the money, leaving him with six to seven hundred yuan. He went to Su Hanyan to report his work.
Su Jingrui went to look for Su Hanyan in the afternoon. She was packing her things in the house. He went over to take a look and saw that she had bought a lot of things, including food, drinks, and clothes.
“Why did you buy so many things? Did you make a fortune?” Su Jingrui couldn’t help but ask.
“I haven’t been back for a while. I want to see Dad and Tongtong too.” Su Hanyan pointed at the two little dresses and a pair of red sandals that she had bought. ” What do you think? Let Tongtong take a look. Do you think she will like it very much?”
Su Jingrui sighed. ” You’re a good aunt. You’re even closer to her than her own mother. No wonder Tongtong likes you. ”
“Tongtong is a pitiful child. Her parents didn’t love her, her uncle didn’t love her, and she was blind in one eye at such a young age…Don’t look at how she doesn’t say anything. In fact, she knows it in her heart.”
Su Hanyan spoke unhurriedly. Su Jingrui nodded repeatedly as he listened. His heart was a little heavy. He had never really doted on his child. He only thought of her as a little brat who didn’t know anything.
After Su Hanyan packed up the gifts, she asked Su Jingrui,”Brother, have you finished the work I gave you?”
“Yes, it’s already completed. I think it’s done pretty well. Do you want to come with me to take a look and check it out?” Su Jingrui asked.
“Sure, I happen to have time. Let’s go now.”
“Wait a minute.” Su Jingrui took out a folded square piece of paper from his pocket, ” The amount of money spent on hiring workers to buy materials is recorded here. Take a look. ”
Su Hanyan was quite surprised. She didn’t expect her third brother to be so thoughtful. He actually knew how to keep a record. She had really underestimated him.
The records were indeed clear. How many workers were hired, how much money was spent, how many materials were bought, the unit price and quantity of the materials, and even the money he spent on treating the workers to popsicles were clearly written on it.
“This is the rest of the money. Count it.” Su Jingrui took out the remaining money from his pocket and gave it to Su Hanyan. He continued, ” I treated her to ice cream twice! The weather was very hot, and it was not easy for the workers. It did not cost much to treat them to two popsicles, but they were quite happy. I’ll give you this job whenever I’m happy!’
“Well, you did a good job.” Su Hanyan gave him a lot of affirmation. ” Third Brother, you still have some brains and ability. If you continue to maintain this kind of enthusiasm and attitude, I believe that you will definitely be able to make a name for yourself.. “
