"What does this mean?" Seeing Hu Mingchen take candy to his daughter, the uncle asked suspiciously.

"I didn't ask him for it, he took the initiative to give it to me. Probably because she was afraid of being scolded, the little girl preemptively defended.

"Oh, yes, yes, I took the initiative to give it to him, she was the only one here just now, I asked your girl to help me call the adult, and then invite him to eat candy, I have to be honest. Hu Mingchen explained.

"There is such a thing, Xiaomei, return the sugar to others, a girl's family, what are you talking about, people are guests when they come, how can you still ask for other people's things, there are no rules. Although Hu Mingchen had admitted that he took the initiative, the uncle was still dissatisfied with his daughter's behavior.

"I don't, it's not what I want. The girl pouted and dropped a sentence, then turned around and ran away with her pigtails.

"This kid ......."

"Uncle, it's okay, it's really none of her business, it's really me who bought her, hehehe. Hu Mingchen pulled his uncle and said with a smile.

"Hey, the bigger you get, the naughtier you are, come, sit down and have a cup of tea, let's talk about something slowly, by the way, where is your home?"

Hu Mingchen was originally looking for someone to talk slowly, of course he was willing to sit down.

The first greeting is to make a mutual acquaintance, after chatting, Hu Mingchen knows, this uncle's surname is Chen, named Chen Dafa, in addition to farming, his family is to open this small shop to do some business, Chen Dafa's tractor was bought last year, on the one hand, it is convenient for the purchase of his own small store, on the other hand, it can also help the people around him pull some things and earn a little fare.

"Xiaohu, you came to the racecourse from Huangni Village alone just to sell things to me? Why didn't your adults come by themselves?"

"Uncle Chen, my family is not at home at all, I did this thing myself, and they don't know it. My dad worked in a tin mine in Caiyun Province, and when he had an accident some time ago, my mom went to take care of him, so I wanted to do something. Uncle Chen, don't worry, this thing looks inconspicuous, but it can make some money, I sold this at the gate of Duge Primary School, and I sold 5,000 copies last week. Hu Mingchen said.

"Hey, the children of poor families are in charge early, you little doll can indeed do. Then give me your 100 copies, I'll sell them first, and if I can sell them, I'll take more, and if you just said three points and five, then three points and five. I don't know if it's because I sympathize with Hu Mingchen or think that this gadget can really be sold, Chen Dafa reached a cooperation with Hu Mingchen without hesitation.

Maybe it's both, maybe Chen Dafa also admires Hu Mingchen a little, after all, at such a young age, he knows how to sell everywhere to find his next home, which is not something that ordinary children can do.

"Uncle Chen, I'm sorry, I can only give you fifty now, you can try it, because I ...... today I have to go to a few more places, and if I give you a hundred, I may not have any goods for others. Anyway, you often have to go down the mountain to the street, if you sell here, then you can go to the gate of Dug Elementary School to find me, I sell it every day after school at noon and in the afternoon, don't say a hundred, I also have a thousand. "Today, Hu Mingchen is just here to promote, and the road is far away, so he didn't bring too many cards at all.

"Okay, you count fifty for me first, and I'll get you the money. Chen Dafa had a good impression of Hu Mingchen, so the communication was very smooth.

Fifty sheets were originally seven cents and five cents, but Chen Dafa gave Hu Mingchen two yuan and asked Hu Mingchen not to return it.

"Uncle Chen, fifty pieces are just seven cents and five cents a piece, how can you not return the money, I will refund you two cents and a half. ”

"It's only five cents to return, didn't my daughter ask you for a bag of candy just now, that's two cents, adding up to nine cents and five cents, five cents are calculated. Chen Dafa explained.

"Uncle Chen, one yard is one yard, I bought that bag of fruit candy, how can it be counted as yours? Although we are doing a very small business, we also have to settle accounts. Here, it's two cents and five, you take it. Hu Mingchen didn't want to take advantage of this.

Chen Dafa didn't answer, but Hu Mingchen still insisted.

"Uncle Chen, you have to take it no matter what, you have to be honest, one is one and two is two, you can do whatever you want. In the end, Hu Mingchen forcibly threw the two cents and five cents on the counter of Chen Dafa's house, and then turned around and left.

"Eh, eh, don't go, then even if you don't take the money, wait for dinner before leaving, Xiaohu ......"

"Uncle Chen, thank you, I won't eat anymore, I still have to go to Malone Village and Yakou Village. Hu Mingchen waved his hand and left Machang Village happily.

In principle, Hu Mingchen only found one family at the gate of each primary school, and since Chen Dafa's family had been found in Machang Village, his task would be completed.

It would take more than three hours for Hu Mingchen to walk from Machang Village to Malong Village, and he had to go down from Machang Village to Duge Township, and then climb another big slope from the river in the township to Malong Village.

The reason why there are primary schools in these villages is because they are so far from the street that the township government has to take care of the children of the surrounding villages and set up some small schools nearby. Even, because it is too far from the street, Machang Village and Yakou Village can still catch the market nearby, but the market in these two villages is relatively small compared with the township government.

They can buy ordinary daily necessities when they are in the market, but like buying and selling livestock, such as fertilizer, they can get to Duge Township. What's more, ordinary people often take advantage of the time to go to the township government to do some things, such as sending a letter, such as saving money in a credit union, and then paying public grain. These services are only available on the streets of Dug Township.

Hu Mingchen did not wait for the car in Machang Village, but walked along the road, he planned to stop the car on the road, and if he didn't meet it, he would go by himself. The section from Racecourse Village to Duge Street is all downhill and relatively easy to walk.

Hu Mingchen's luck was good today, he left Machang Village, walked for half an hour, and met a minivan passing by, and the driver agreed to Hu Mingchen's request for a ride.

The truck driver was going to Fanger Town and dropped him off at the intersection where the road passed Malone.

From Duge Township to Machang Village, Hu Mingchen can still take a ride back and forth, but when he goes to Malone Village, Hu Mingchen is not so lucky, and in this section, he has no other way than to walk by himself.

From Duge Township to Malone Village is the same as to Huangni Village, not to mention the road, there is no road for horse-drawn carriages, just a slightly wider path. When people from Malone Village go to the township to buy and sell things, they either use human power on their backs or use horses and camels.

It was close to noon, and there was already a hot and dry smell in the air.

Hu Mingchen didn't carry much on his body, just a schoolbag, but the rugged mountain road still made him out of breath, but fortunately, he carried a bottle of water in the schoolbag, which could quench his thirst along the way.

After walking for more than an hour, Hu Mingchen finally walked to Malone Primary School at one o'clock.

In Malone Primary School, Hu Mingchen did not meet Chen Dafa smoothly in Machang Primary School.

At the entrance of Malone Primary School, there are only two small shops, but none of the owners of Hu Mingchen's cards are willing to accept it.

"I can sell your card, but you have to wait until I sell it for money before I give it to you. ”

This is to Hu Mingchen to distribute goods, Hu Mingchen is originally a small business, and he does not have such a large capital at all.

"You have to deliver it to me in the future, I don't have it here, you have to hurry up and help me deliver it, I can only give you half of the payment, okay?"

This one gave half of the money, but letting Hu Mingchen deliver the goods was beyond Hu Mingchen's possibility.

Hu Mingchen's family does not live in Malone Village, and it is far away to go back and forth, so it is unrealistic for Hu Mingchen to deliver goods.

No matter what Hu Mingchen said, these two families just didn't let go, which made Hu Mingchen very angry.

If you don't do it, if you don't do it, will Lao Tzu still starve to death? Since these two families are so difficult to deal with, then Hu Mingchen will simply admit it, and Malong Village will not do it.

"Hu Mingchen, Hu Mingchen, what are you doing on Ma Long?" Hu Mingchen left the gate of Ma Long Primary School, planning to go to Yakou Village from another path, and as soon as he walked to the bottom of a courtyard dam, he heard someone calling him from above.

Hu Mingchen looked up, and his eyes lit up: "Mao Feng, why are you kid, your home is here?"

After confirming that it was Hu Mingchen, Mao Feng jumped down from above: "Go, go, go to my house and sit down, above is my house, you won't come to me, right?"

"I didn't even know that your family lived here, today is the day of the rush, who is at home in your family?"

"My dad took my sister to the show, and it was just me and my mom at home, oh, and my grandma at home. ”

"Xiao Feng, who is this?" Hu Mingchen and Mao Feng walked to the door of his house, and a woman dressed in gray came out of the hall.

"Mom, this is my classmate Hu Mingchen, the one I told you that he had the best academic performance in the class. Mao Feng introduced with a smile.

"Hello, I'm Hu Mingchen. Facing the elders of his classmates, Hu Mingchen greeted politely.

"Okay, okay, come and sit in the house, come and sit in the house, Mao Feng, you pour some water for your classmates to drink first, I'll ...... I'm going to get some food and cook for you. Mao Feng's mother looked a little unnatural when she talked about cooking.

"Hello, don't get it, I'll drink some water and leave. ”

"It's all here, sit down, sit down, it's not easy to come, eat and then leave, Mao Feng, you call your classmates, I'll come in a few minutes when I go out." "Mao Feng's mother was very welcoming.

"Hu Mingchen, why don't you just play with me before leaving, you don't study or do business today, why are you in such a hurry to go back?" Mao Feng grabbed Hu Mingchen, as if he was afraid that he would leave now.
