Chapter 9: To the Provincial City
Going to the provincial capital to sell tender corn, vegetables and other substances, Yang Changting will definitely not be busy alone. If you can't find your classmates, who else in the family can help you instead of stopping you?
If you tell the truth to your family that you want to go to the provincial capital to sell tender corn, you will definitely vote against it, or your father will veto it.
Dad wanted to study in peace of mind, and he didn't even do housework at home. He felt that only by focusing could he read books well and thoroughly.
Taking the sixth sister to the provincial capital, Yang Changting was pondered repeatedly.
The sixth sister is thirteen years old and can help with things. The main problem is that the sixth sister is willing to listen to herself, she is currently only doing housework at home, and she is away from the house for a few days.
In terms of appearance, the sixth sister looks tall, giving people a pitiful impression. Going to the provincial capital to sell tender corn and saying that she earns tuition with her will not make people doubt that she can win sympathy. At the very least, it doesn't make people think that the brother and sister are bad people.
In the early 80s, two or three years after the call for reform and opening up, the social atmosphere changed drastically. There are really a lot of hooligans, second-rate people, and petty splashes in society, and the crime rate is increasing rapidly. Because of this, there will be 83 years of nationwide crackdown.
In December 78, the Third Plenary Session of the 11th Central Committee proposed to deepen reforms, and proposed to allow some people and some regions to get rich first. Different regions of the country naturally cause different changes, and the degree of economic activity, economic operation mode, people's ideas, and values are also different.
The economy of Jiangshang Province itself is lagging behind and it is located in the middle of the interior, so it cannot be compared with the coastal areas, especially the special zones.
Yang Changting was deeply touched in his experience in his previous life, and now, back in 82 years, he is ready to test the waters and do a business, so he will naturally take these social factors into account.
Yang Changting also didn't want to consume people's kindness and sympathy, but the appearance of the sixth sister was conducive to their promotion in the provincial capital. Such a favorable factor, how could Yang Changting let it go.
My mother shouldn't be too sad to pass this hurdle, Yang Changting said, "Mom, I've already told my father, and he said that as long as you agree, it will be done." In fact, the provincial capital is not far away, and it will be there in half a day. ”
"Your dad agreed?" Mom's focus was different from Yang Changting's.
"Hmm. Yang Changting was not too sure, worried that his parents would meet and confront him, but as long as he came back from the provincial capital, his family would not be too restrictive on his actions.
"Mom, did you listen to me? Yang Changting diverted the topic, "It only takes half a day to get to the provincial capital from Liuhe, and there are long-distance buses and trains to the provincial capital. Long-distance buses go to provincial capitals, and the fare is ten yuan, and train tickets are cheaper for seven or eight yuan. ”
"It's better to say than to sing!" said my mother, who was a little angry, "Ten yuan, seven or eight yuan, that's not much? Not allowed to go, certainly not allowed to go. ”
"Mom, I went to the provincial capital to see the universities in the provincial capital and buy some materials. Yang Changting said, "There is no need to pay for travel to the provincial capital, and there are fellow scholars' cars to pull goods in the province and hitchhike." ”
As long as you don't spend money indiscriminately, my mother is not strict with where she goes. During the holidays during my studies, sometimes I don't help my family with things, and I go to my classmates for a day or two, and I don't care.
"Your classmates?"
"Yes, high school classmates, three years at the same table. Her family is from the Second Civil Trade Bureau, and her father is the deputy director. "Yang Changting's words are true or false, each with a few points, you can verify it with the Xiong family, but in fact, it is not entirely.
"Will the sixth sister go?" said the mother.
"Mom, let the third brother and the sixth sister go. The fifth sister interjected, "Third brother, do you want money in the provincial capital, I'll give you ten yuan." ”
"Fifth sister, I have money on me, and I won't starve the sixth sister, you can rest assured. Yang Changting said, "I'm going to cook some tender corn with me, and it won't go bad in a day or two." ”
For the fifth sister's hard-earned money, Yang Changting really can't bear to take it now, not to mention, when he comes back from the provincial capital, it will cost money to ask the fifth sister to open a store.
This matter was confirmed, and Yang Changting returned to the old house that night. The sixth sister and younger brother should help prepare bamboo sticks and iron bars together, and prepare for the application of materials.
I went to the captain's house and asked my aunt about the receipt of the goods, and the car came the next day, and I couldn't fail to receive something. When I went to the captain's house, I saw some sacks piled up in his yard, and there must be tender corn cobs in the bags. This tender corn cob is wrapped in leaves, and it will not spoil after a day or two, and the taste may be slightly worse.
"Uncle and aunt, you have worked hard today. As Yang Changting spoke, he threw a pack of "Saving Brand Cigarettes" to the captain, "Uncle, I don't smoke, I took it from home, don't dislike it." ”
Saving brand cigarettes are a dime a pack, and people in the village basically smoke this brand, and some people smoke their own rolls. More people use paper to roll themselves, called horns.
The captain took it and said with a smile, "Changting has grown up, and he is still polite to his uncle." ”
"Uncle, although I am helping my classmates, but you have helped me a lot, I must always be grateful, right?" Yang Changting said with a smile, in the future, he will deal with this family, and it is only right to show something.
handed a two-yuan bill to the aunt, this is the reward that was promised before, Yang Changting said, "Auntie, when we come back from the province, I will give another two yuan." ”
"Then how can it be done, if you say that it is as much as you want, you can rest assured, tomorrow they will bring tender corn and vegetables. ”
Yang Changting smiled and didn't tell the difference, the villagers, everyone really recognizes this reason. But if you give too much money, after pushing, the other party will be very happy, and the return will be great.
When I got home, I told my father that I was going to take a trip to the provincial capital by the same classmate's car, and I also wanted to take my sixth sister with me. Dad didn't ask much, "Your mom agreed?"
"Promised. Yang Changting said with a smile, "The world is big, my mother is the biggest, dare not ask my mother's opinion first." ”
When my younger brother heard that he was going to the provincial capital, although he didn't understand it very well, he also shouted to go with him. Yang Changting said, "Brother, take my classmate's car away, I can't squeeze in." I will definitely take you there if I have the opportunity in the future. ”
Before leaving, Yang Changting made the preparations that should be made: the production team's oil drum stove, large aluminum pot, firewood, charcoal, etc., these things are only known to the surprised sixth sister, but when she told her that it was something that her classmates wanted, the sixth sister would not ask.
The car entering Changping Village has made many people in the village come around to see, and the simple road in Changping Village will occasionally have cars driving in, which is not too unusual. Hearing the sound of cars, some people came to watch the excitement.
When the captain saw someone coming, he asked someone to help load all the sacks at home into the car. and the things that Yang Changting prepared in advance were also put in the carriage.
Dongfeng brand cars are relatively large, with long compartments and good carports. Yang Changting saw that everything was going well, and breathed a long sigh of relief.
The driver may have been explained by Director Xiong, but he didn't say anything about loading goods in the village.
Yang Changting took the sixth sister into the car and said, "Master, thank you for your hard work." As he spoke, he handed the driver a pack of cigarettes, which were imported cigarettes from the 35 brand.
"Three 5 brand" cigarettes are a good thing, a high-end brand, almost five yuan a pack. When the driver saw it, he couldn't help but glance at Yang Changting, and said with a smile, "It's okay, it's okay, let's go!"
