For Zhang Yunfeng, who makes money and earns a hot heart, the happiest thing every day is selling flue-cured tobacco.

Every day at five o'clock in the morning, the brothers got up to pack up their ropes and went straight to the Jiangchuan City Tobacco Station in the dark. They will always be the first to sell flue-cured tobacco at the tobacco station.

On the return trip at nine o'clock, Zhang Yunfeng drove the tractor, and Zhang Yunqi lay on the trunk of the tractor and slept on all fours.

It was almost twelve o'clock when I got home, and the time for eating and resting was saved, with the kettle and lunch prepared by Zhang's mother in advance, the brothers drove a tractor to a remote village to buy flue-cured tobacco, but the flue-cured tobacco was not so easy to collect, and the smokers were very ghostly, Zhang Yunqi was like a salesman in later generations, accompanied by a smiling face, a good cigarette, and said all the good things, and his voice was on fire, and he had to laugh to make his face as bright as a chrysanthemum.

The person who did this was angry, but he had a good mentality.

If you make money, you have to suffer a little.

He has experienced a rebirth of a middle-aged uncle, the unknown of the world and age has been in awe, maybe the younger the age, the easier it is to have illusions, counting on what "noble" to make himself soar, when he is older, he knows that this is impossible, all opportunities come from unremitting hard work!

In his spare time, Zhang Yunqi didn't rest, he wanted to tutor Ji Ling in his homework.

Regardless of whether Ji Ling is happy or not, he always tries to make it up, fortunately, his eloquence is still successful, but it does not disgust Ji Ling, the pit is that the business level is not up to standard, and most of the junior and senior high school knowledge has been returned to the teacher in its original form, especially English, and he can't spell it out in good morning.

In fact, he can't be blamed for this, he has been out of school for more than 20 years, and most of the others are useless except for a few English words that can be used to recognize the sound of calling the bed by watching European and American wool films.

Since he wants to be a teacher for Ji Ling, how can he do it if he doesn't have a little level? He doesn't want to be despised by Ji Ling, a little girl. In the evening, he took the time to systematically flip through the junior high school textbooks, and found that he didn't remember many knowledge points.

This little girl is a character with unsuccessful grades, and she is also very sensible, she often helps Zhang's mother do housework, and she consciously studies and reads at home when she is free.

Zhang Chunlan was a little inexplicable, the second brother was the top student in the high school entrance examination, and when she came over to ask her the question, she felt weird in her heart, saying What question are you asking?

Zhang Yunqi opened the workbook and pointed it to her.

Chunlan glanced at the question, then turned her head to look at Zhang Yunqi, her eyes seemed to be looking at a stupid hat: "You can't answer such a simple question, how did you get the top student in the high school entrance examination?"

Zhang Yunqi felt a lot of insult: "Hey, little girl, you're going to take the high school entrance examination next year, I want to test you in advance, do you really think I won't?"

Chunlan pouted: "Second brother, you have changed a lot recently, and you have learned to brag." ”

Zhang Yunqi almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood.

I can't ask this question, I can't show my stuffing, and it's sad enough to hold the brand of the top student in the high school entrance examination, so he took the exercise book and pondered it by himself.

In the evening, after dinner, he went to work in the flue-cured tobacco room.

After all, he and his eldest brother used to be the main laborers of the family, and now the brothers are dedicated to selling flue-cured tobacco, and most of the farm work falls on Zhang's mother alone, she is not in good health, and then she is busy with housework inside and out, and the hard work can be imagined.

However, Zhang's mother seems to be very happy recently, and she often has a smile on her face.

It may be that the situation at home has improved greatly, the brothers are fighting again, they have a lot of money, there is a net income of 400 yuan per day, the standard of living has risen like a rocket, and her family is tired of eating the big fat pork that other people's families can't afford to eat, and now they are picking thin ones to buy.

The beauty in Zhang's mother's heart is not as angry as before, but when she sleeps at night, she will miss her man, and if she stays at home, she can enjoy happiness, hey, now she is eating in prison and suffering from old sins!

Zhang's mother only thought about this in her heart, she never mentioned it in front of her family, and she was not allowed to mention it to her children.

These days, the new changes of the old Zhang family can be seen in and outside the village, tsk, look at this momentum, this former broken settlement is to start making a fortune first, there are a lot of flattering words, and there are a lot of red eyes, when the old ladies in the village chatter, they all say that the two sons of the old Zhang family are poor and crazy, and they are not afraid of being cut off their tails.

In their eyes, selling flue-cured tobacco is buying short and selling short, but no one dares to do it like the Zhang family. Thinking about it, it is estimated that this poor family will not be able to open the pot before taking this risk.

Sure enough, if there is a father, there must be a son, and this honest farmer who is honest with Liu Shun went so far as to steal the cables of the power plant at the beginning of the year, which is state property! Eh, it's all bitter haha, poor, look at the string of oil bottles in his house, plus a medicine jar mother-in-law, this day is really difficult!

These gossip chewing the root of the tongue rippled from time to time in the small fish pond of Yunxi Village, but the life of the old Zhang family was still becoming more and more prosperous, and it was becoming more and more dazzling, and at the end of July, Zhang Yunqi was surprised to find that there were other tobacco dealers in the township, and one family often collided with him, and met several times when collecting flue-cured tobacco in the same village.

The two sides naturally didn't have a good face, and Zhang Yunfeng was still a little angry, thinking that people had robbed him of his business.

Zhang Yunqi pulled and said that everyone eats according to their ability, what is there to be angry, and besides, there are so many farmers who sell cigarettes, we don't have to collect it, so we can't be angry.

Having said that, he still cared a lot in his heart, and later asked someone to inquire, only to know that this tobacco dealer is from Xiahe Village, called Zhao Siping, he has an elder brother named Zhao Qiren, who is the director of the Fengyang County Tobacco Management Office, so the means of selling cigarettes are simple and rude and black-hearted, and the purchase of inferior flue-cured tobacco in the countryside can be bought at a high price directly by dragging it directly to the tobacco station in Fengyang County, such as 5 cents a pound of last-grade flue-cured tobacco, they can sell it for 4 yuan a pound.

That's the price of first-class flue-cured tobacco!

Zhang Yunqi can only sigh that there are still too many smart and capable people, and he has not been doing this business for a month, and these people can follow the trend, and they look even more ugly. Fortunately, he didn't plan to do this flue-cured tobacco business for a long time, and now it is the end of July, at most at the end of August, earn tens of thousands of yuan, let his family live a comfortable life, and then find a more long-term and easy way to eat and wait for death.

On July 26, Zhang Yunqi and his brother went to Shiling Village to collect flue-cured tobacco.

He has been to Shiling Village twice, and the tobacco farmers in the village have a good relationship, and the purchase price is well-known, according to the standard price purchase of Fengyang County Tobacco Station, the tobacco farmers are willing to sell cigarettes to him, less than five o'clock in the afternoon, he collected a full car of flue-cured tobacco.

On the way back, Zhang Yunqi drove.

Soon after leaving the village, he heard a rumbling sound from behind, turned his head to look, and found a tractor driving behind, the driver didn't recognize it at first, as the car got closer and closer, he found that it was Zhao Siping, the cigarette dealer in Xiahe Village, who was short and slender, with dark skin, a gold chain around his neck, and a tall and strong man sitting in the back seat of the car, who was his nephew Zhao Dazhu.

Zhang Yunqi has met with Zhao Siping many times these days, although the peers are enemies, but the two sides eat according to their abilities, but they are all right.

Zhao Siping drove the car very fast, as if he wanted to overtake.

The dirt road was very rugged, Zhang Yunqi had no intention of fighting for will, slowed down the speed and let Zhao Siping's tractor pass first, but he didn't expect that after Zhao Siping overtook the car, he suddenly made a sharp turn and placed the tractor horizontally in the middle of the road.

Zhang Yunqi was startled, and hurriedly stepped on the brakes to the end, and the friction between the tires and the ground made a screeching sound, and he stopped in front of Zhao Siping's tractor.

Zhang Yunqi was a little annoyed, but before he could speak, Zhao Siping and his nephew Zhao Dazhu had already rushed over arrogantly and said loudly: "You brothers, get out of here!"
