In the misty early morning, the tractor entered the city of Gangcheon.

The first time he entered the city to sell cigarettes, Zhang Yunfeng was extremely nervous, especially along the way, he was very worried about being caught by the people of the Fengyang County Tobacco Management Office.

Zhang Yunqi felt that the eldest brother's worries were not unreasonable, he walked too much at night, and sooner or later he would encounter a ghost, if he was caught by the Fengyang Tobacco Management Office, he would be fined for the detention of the car.

It is necessary to take precautions, if someone covers it, this kind of thing doesn't need to be cared about at all, but his family is poor and white, and his relatives are all farmers digging in the fields, and there is really no hard role to handle.

At this time, he suddenly remembered Ji Ling.

When they arrived at the tobacco station, the brothers unloaded the flue-cured tobacco, Zhang Yunqi ran to a nearby store and bought a piece of soft white sand and a few newspapers.

Jiangchuan City Tobacco Station has already been here once, Zhang Yunqi is familiar with the road, took his eldest brother to find the beard, took out a bag of soft white sand and stuffed it into his hand, and said with a smile: "Uncle, this is my eldest brother, Uncle will help more in the future." ”

The bearded man glanced at Zhang Yunfeng, nodded and said You bring the smoke in.

The brothers carried the flue-cured tobacco into the factory, and the bearded man called for someone to sift out the final tobacco and broken tobacco inside.

Smokers will stuff inferior cigarettes into the good cigarettes, which is like pouring water into beef, although Zhang Yunfeng is very careful to screen the cigarettes, but it is indispensable to slip through the net, resulting in him buying the last cigarettes at the price of second-grade flue-cured tobacco, but the professionals of the tobacco station will screen them out and buy them at 5 cents a catty. Such a back and forth, which is equivalent to a few dollars per pound of final-grade flue-cured tobacco screened out.

Zhang Yunfeng's flesh hurts, and next time he will have a long heart.

The process of selling cigarettes is the same as last time, first rating, then going through the scales.

A total of 600 catties of flue-cured tobacco, the bearded man removed 40 catties of flue-cured tobacco at the end price, and the remaining 560 catties were all purchased by Zhang Yunqi and his brothers at the price of second-class flue-cured tobacco, of which 134 catties of bearded people were rated as second-grade, and the remaining 426 catties were given to the first-class.

Zhang Yunfeng immediately started to calculate, the first level is 1 yuan more expensive than the second level, 426 catties of first-class flue-cured tobacco, that is to say, the gross profit is 426, deducting the cost of miscellaneous things, this business will definitely make a big 400!

Zhang Yunfeng's happy people were blinded.

Zhang Yunqi was not overjoyed, he handed a cigarette along the circle, shouted big brother and sister with admiring eyes and admiration, and then pulled the hairy Zhang Yunfeng to the financial room to settle the account and return home.

When passing through Longwan Town, Zhang Yunqi said to buy some meat.

He really couldn't bear the food at home, and he was reborn for more than half a month, and he ate jar peppers for special meals, so that every time he, his farts were hot.

Zhang Yunfeng is happy, now that he can make money, it is necessary to improve the food, and said that he would cut a few catties of fat pork.

In this era, people are generally short of oil and water, and they like to eat fat meat. Zhang Yunqi is not good at this, only at his strong request did he cut three catties of pork belly, fifty catties of rice, and bought a catty of fruit-flavored hard candy for Xiaoxiao, and it cost a total of 22 yuan and 4 cents, I have to say that the money at this time is really valuable, and the purchasing power is strong.

When he got home, Zhang Yunfeng immediately went into the back room to keep accounts.

Zhang Yunqi carried fifty catties of rice and three catties of pork to Zhang's mother, and gave fruit candy to Zhang Xiaoxiao, the little girl was so happy that she almost flew into the sky, and got fruit candy, this ragged clothes are hidden in the pocket here, and the rotten pants are hidden in the pocket. It's not a New Year's holiday, but you can't eat this good thing.

Zhang Yunqi suffered, he was buried by Zhang's mother and spent money lavishly, and was sent to the field to pick pig vegetables, but he pinched a basket of bitter vegetables and came back, so he didn't make Zhang's mother angry.

Zhang's mother poked him in the head and counted: "You are really a two-ball product! You eat bitterly, you don't eat it, can you expect pigs to eat?"

Zhang Xiaoxiao giggled next to him with his mouth covered with sugar, Zhang Yunqi was very embarrassed, he could still follow his eldest brother to learn farm work slowly, it was the first time in his life to pick up pig vegetables, I really didn't know those messy wild vegetables, and when I saw that there were many of these things in the field, I gave them all back, and it turned out to be a big joke.

Zhang Yunfeng kept the account, heard the movement outside, called Zhang's mother into the back room, took out a handful of money from the drawer, and said excitedly: "Mom, this is the money we earned from selling cigarettes this time!"

Zhang's mother hurriedly asked, "How much did you earn?"

“403！”

Zhang's mother was so happy at the time, she took the money and counted it over and over: "You can earn more than 400 in one trip, and it will be 12,000 a month, or it won't be long before our family will be 10,000 yuan!"

Zhang Yunfeng said: "Yunqi said, this is a seasonal business, at most a month or two, we have to hurry, Yunqi and I have to buy flue-cured tobacco in the afternoon, Mom, you hurry up and cook." ”

"Yes, you keep the money. ”

Zhang's mother gave the money to Zhang Yunfeng and went to the stove to cook. Less than twelve o'clock, the lunch was ready, fragrant rice, a big pot of fried meat with chopped peppers and cabbage, the red oil was fragrant, spicy and delicious, and the family ate the oily face, and even the bottom of the pot was scraped clean.

When cooking, my mother originally wanted to keep half of the meat, but it was all done at Zhang Yunqi's insistence.

Zhang Yunqi watched Xiaoxiao add the bottom of the bowl cleanly, he was very sad, and gave the last piece of meat at the bottom of his bowl to the little girl.

After lunch, Zhang Yunqi and his eldest brother went to other villages to collect flue-cured tobacco, and they didn't return until the evening, and they had to go to the city to sell cigarettes before dawn the next day.

It's like this every day, it's really tiring, but the situation at home is getting better day by day, at least he doesn't have to worry about eating anymore, the meal is enough, and he is also happy, and he can enjoy the young time that he didn't have time to enjoy in his previous life with a calm state of mind.

In her spare time, Zhang Xiaomei would call him to play together, and Ji Ling, the three of them went down to the river to touch shrimp, went up to the tree to pick dates, came and went, but found the feeling of the previous life.

Although she came to the countryside for the summer vacation, Ji Ling brought a lot of textbooks and homework, she is a freshman in the best middle school in the city, Jiangchuan City No. 1 Middle School, and there is a preliminary exam at the beginning of the school, so she needs to review her junior high school homework.

Once, Ji Ling encountered a question that he couldn't do and asked Zhang Xiaomei, and Zhang Xiaomei immediately sold Zhang Yunqi and said, "There is a top student in the middle school entrance examination next to me, don't let me be embarrassed." ”

Ji Ling didn't know about this yet, looked at Zhang Yunqi and asked, "Are you the top student in the high school entrance examination?"

Zhang Xiaomei continued: "Is this still fake, such as the fake winner of the high school entrance examination in Fengyang County, is amazing! He is the pride of our whole village!"

"I really can't see it, Lao Tie, it's good. ”

Zhang Yunqi couldn't cry or laugh, this girl is learning and using it lively, and now she calls him Lao Tie every day.

Zhang Yunqi took the exercise book and looked at it carefully, and then gave Ji Ling an answer, in fact, what he had learned before had already been fed to the dogs, but fortunately, these junior high school questions were not very difficult, and most of them could be figured out.

The tutoring time passed quickly, and before I knew it, it was evening, Ji Ling was tired of doing the questions, closed the exercise book, squinted at the sky, and said to Zhang Yunqi Let's go out for a walk?

Zhang Yun nodded and said yes.

At that time, it was already more than six o'clock in the afternoon, the sky was getting late, the sunset was falling, Yunxi Village was shrouded in the warm sun, Zhang Yunqi accompanied Ji Ling to chat and walk, until he walked to the river, and saw dandelions blooming on the green grass there, and fluffy balls one after another.

Ji Ling happily picked a lot, held it in the palm of his hand, and then sat by the river with Zhang Yunqi and talked, took off his shoes and soaked his feet in the clear water.

Ji Ling said that your high school entrance examination results are so good, which high school did you fill in?

Zhang Yunqi said: "What I volunteered to fill in for the high school entrance examination is not a high school, but a technical secondary school in the provincial capital. ”

"After that, when you go to the provincial capital, you may only see each other during the summer vacation, and you may not see each other for a long time, and many good friends slowly forget each other in this way. ”

Zhang Yunqi turned his head to look into her eyes, watching the wind blow the dandelions in her arms, scattered on the water, like a light snow.

He suddenly remembered some things that he had experienced with Ji Ling in his previous life, and this was how they drifted apart. Zhang Yunqi retracted his gaze and said with a smile: "People, not all of them are like this, sometimes when we get together, there will be no time after that." ”

"When you are young, what will you talk about indefinitely? Lao Tie, sometimes I really feel that you are different from before, like a little adult. ”

Zhang Yunqi can't explain this matter, no matter how he hides it, his mentality is that of a greasy middle-aged uncle, and it is impossible to talk and act like a child: "Maybe I read too many books, isn't there a saying that says, there are too many stories in my heart, and people's mentality will become old." ”

"Then you tell me a story, I'm bored. ”

"...... a long, long time ago"

"Big brother, this is too old-fashioned at the beginning. ”

"Sister, don't interrupt me, it's hard to brew the emotions of storytelling. ”

"Okay, you say. ”

"A long, long time ago, there was a boy who had a crush on a girl, but didn't have the courage to confess, so he hid a note "I like you" at the reels of the Rubik's Cube given to the girl, but the girl didn't notice it until many years later, when the girl's one-year-old son threw the note out while playing with the Rubik's Cube. The girl saw it, called the boy, and cried into tears. ”

"What did the boy say on the phone?"

Zhang Yunqi looked up at the sky: "The boy comforted her on the phone and said: I once loved many people and did countless romantic things, and they are all happy now, I hope you are too." ”

"And then?"

"No, in fact, many stories are over before they can really begin. ”

Ji Ling held his delicate chin in his hand and thought thoughtfully: "How do I feel that you are talking about yourself?"

Zhang Yunqi smiled: "You can afford me too much, I'm only 16 years old, a minor, my mother said that you are not allowed to fall in love." ”
