Chapter 15: Scared Dad
Taking the train from the provincial capital, Yang Changting was familiar with this route. The sixth sister saw the train for the first time, and she was able to go home all the way on the train, which made the sixth sister very happy.
Leaving home, the sixth sister is always afraid, although there is a third brother by her side, a strange place is a lot of pressure on her.
There are many people on the train, fortunately, the seats of the two are by the window, Yang Changting let the sixth sister sit next to the window, this train will take nearly ten hours, and it will be night in Liuhe, so naturally he must protect his sister.
I hope the train is not late, the train passing through Liuhe, how many times a day, Yang Changting didn't pay attention, in the future, it is still necessary to choose a more suitable train.
The train moved slowly, and the sixth sister was novel, looking at the slowly receding objects outside the window, she said, "Third brother, why are those things retreating?"
"Then why do you say that?" Yang Changting said with a smile.
"Oh, I see, it's actually us moving forward, aren't we?" For such a theory as a reference, it is impossible to explain it to the sixth sister for a while. Yang Changting nodded and smiled, "Sixth sister can think, it's good." In the process of learning, you should think more and ask a few more whys. ”
Along the way, the two talked and talked about learning, but they were not lonely. It is also a pleasure to let the sixth sister squeeze in the crowd occasionally and experience it in other carriages.
Dinner was settled on the train, and before Yang Changting got on the train, he made preparations and bought a few meatloaf. Meatloaf is monotonous, but it's much more affordable than the food on the train.
The car arrived at Liuhe on time, and the eldest brother was waiting at the station. Seeing the two of them leaving the station, the eldest brother said, "Have you eaten?"
The eldest brother is mighty, and he has practiced martial arts for several years in the same group of young people in the village, and his waist and arm strength are strong. Yang Changting also followed his eldest brother's butt for a period of time when he was a child, but his father did not support him in practicing martial arts and asked him to go home and read.
"Big brother, we're eating bread. Yang Changting said with a smile that the eldest brother is in the road maintenance class in the western suburbs of Liuhe and is currently the deputy squad leader. Go to work during the day and have enough free time after work.
"Let's go, get in the car. The three of them walked out of the station not far away, and the eldest brother drove the tractor used by the road maintenance class, and asked the sixth sister to sit next to him, and Yang Changting went to the back carriage.
The tractor was loud and slow, but it was amazing to have a tractor in those years.
I went back to my mother first, told my mother about the situation, and then drove back to the old house. The eldest brother is more reliable, Lisuo, the brother and sister go to the provincial capital, and the family is worried.
Back at the old house, my father and second brother didn't sleep. Seeing Yang Changting and the sixth sister coming back, my father's face was a little serious, and he couldn't see his joy and anger clearly under the dim oil lamp.
The eldest brother didn't stay much longer and drove away. said that he would send the car back to the road maintenance class, and it could not affect the work class tomorrow.
Seeing that the two of them had returned home safely, my father said, "How about going to the provincial capital?"
"Dad, you know. My sixth sister and I went to the university in the river to see it, and the library was called magnificent. Sixth sister, isn't she?"
"It's big, it's big. The sixth sister gestured with her hands, although it was not accurate, she still had an appearance. Dad also hadn't seen Jiang Shang University, and he really didn't have a clear impression of what his son and daughter said.
"Dad, I'm going to take the Jiangshang University next year, which is the highest university in Jiangshang Province and is one of the top ten famous universities in the country. ”
"Okay, you just need to study, your mother and I support you. ”
"Dad, the sixth sister also felt very much when she saw Jiang Shang University, I thought, when the school starts, let the sixth sister and my younger brother study together. She was only thirteen years old, and she couldn't do any work. ”
The father turned his head to look at his daughter, and saw that the sixth sister was looking at it with a blank eye, and there seemed to be some tears. I couldn't help but hesitate, the situation at home is like this, there is the third child and the eldest child studying, and the burden is not light.
"Dad......" Yang Changting didn't want to talk about expenses at the beginning, and didn't say anything about making money this time.
Looking at her daughter again, the sixth sister obviously bowed her head and was sad, and she didn't dare to show it in front of her father. Seeing her daughter like this, she couldn't bear it, "I'll talk to your mother and try to go to school." ”
"Great. Dad, as long as you agree, I'll talk to Mom. Yang Changting said, "Sixth sister, thank you dad yet." ”
When the matter of the sixth sister is clear, she will have to go to sleep by herself. At this time, Yang Changting told his father and second brother about the situation of selling tender corn.
"I took a bus from the Second Bureau of Civil Trade to the provincial capital, and by the way, I took ten sacks of tender corn to the provincial capital to sell. I made some money, enough money for my sixth sister, my younger brother and me to study......"
"How much tender corn are you talking about?" Dad only then reacted.
"Ten sacks. Yang Changting said with certainty.
"Where did you get so much tender corn?"
"I asked the captain's family to help buy it, and then shipped it to the provincial capital to sell. ”
"Aren't you speculative?" said Dad, looking out the door.
"Dad, what are you worried about? A few years ago, the state had a policy to let some people and some regions get rich first. The state allows business, and there is nothing wrong with being self-employed. In foreign countries, everyone is self-employed, and there are many self-employed people in provincial capitals. ”
"It's not a loss. How much money was spent on tender corn...... "Dad's main concern may be this."
"Dad, look. Yang Changting said and opened the yellow schoolbag and took out ten large banknotes from it, all of which were ten yuan each.
"This ...... Why are there so many?"
Seeing that his father was frightened, Yang Changting could only smile bitterly. Dad often sees money in the village, because he sells goods, and every time he rushes to the market, he will have income, although the money has to be handed over to the village, but it is always handed over.
"Dad, it's a normal income. Yang Changting said with certainty, "In the village, it costs three or four cobs to harvest tender corn for a dime, and a little smaller one is two cents a cob." When I went to the provincial capital to sell it, I was two dimes a cob, and then the roasted corn was five dimes, and the boiled corn was five dimes. Of course, the money also includes the cost to be paid to the ......"
Yang Changting hid some money, and he still had something to do next.
Dad picked up a bundle of tickets and pondered. I don't know if such a huge profit will lead to anything.
"My sixth sister and I are students, it's fine. Yang Changting smiled and said, "Dad, I'll send ten yuan to the captain's family tomorrow to thank them for their help." ”
"Don't send so much. Dad said, "It's not that you can't afford to pay money, but if you give them ten dollars, they will think about how much you have earned. ”
Yang Changting smiled bitterly: Indeed, who has a lot of money in these years and months, and has not yet spread it to the whole world? Next year's strike-hard campaign is very crucial, and only after this strike-hard campaign can business get started.
"Okay, Dad, I get it. Yang Changting said, "Dad, there is one more thing ......"
"What's the matter? you and the sixth sister can study, no problem. ”
"It's not about this," Yang Changting said with a smile, "I want to ask the fifth sister to do me a favor......"
