Chapter 3: Shoe Workshop

Following the memories, Fan Yang was surprised to find that this home actually has a story.

The family he was reborn in had a total of 5 people, his father's name was Fan Mingli, and he didn't think what he thought at the beginning, and gave birth to two sons, one named Fan Yang and the other Fan Wei.

After being in the army, he was demobilized and placed in a nearby cement factory, where he worked for several years and saved some money.

In the past eight years, he resolutely went to Yunan to sell tobacco and fur, and then his heart became wild, and he ran to Tengchong to pour the jade rough, and lost all his family property in the gambling stone.

But it is said that it is family property, but in fact, it is not much, and I have earned 20,000 yuan in a few years.

But this is already quite good in eight years.

Later, he took a risk and wanted to turn over, but I was afraid that he was in a hurry for quick success, and I didn't know what he had done, it seemed that it was smuggling or something, and he was caught and sentenced to 8 years.

In other words, Fan Yang's family had a while in the past few years.

Fan Yang's mouth pouted, it seems that his cheap dad is still quite good, in the 80s, he knew that he was selling tobacco in Yunnan, which was indeed a profiteering commodity back then, but it was too risky.

There are a lot of unclear things behind it.

Forget it, go in and go in, and don't think too much.

A few years ago, Fan Mingli was still quite good at business and took care of his family, thinking that he was running outside, and he still had to leave a way back at home.

He rented two shops in the town, and brought back an old leatherman from Yunnan and put Fan Wei in charge of the shop, trying to teach his eldest son the trade of leathermaking.

Not only leather, but also a very popular thing at the time, artificial leather.

I make leather shoes, belts, leather bags and so on, and also sell some of my own goods that came back from Yunnan, hookah, notoginseng, white medicine, and jade pendants or something.

But after Fan Mingli entered, the eldest son Fan Wei was a fool, and he couldn't sell a pair of leather shoes for half a month, and a sewing machine was placed at the door, a good leather store, and let him run it as a leather shoe repairer, and it was about to close down.

Thinking that he still has a leather store at home, it is open in the town, where can Fan Yang still sit.

Go and say hello to his strange mother: "I'm going to go to town today." ”

"What are you going to do?" asked his mother.

"Take a look around the store and see if there's anything we can help with. ”

"Well, that's okay, then you wait, bring some bacon for your brother. ”

After a while, a small piece of bacon came over.

Fan Yang took it, and was just about to leave, but he came again without a door.

This guy is still quite kind, and he is worried about helping Fan Yang repair the pigsty today.

And although the hand is disabled, the character is not bad, except for gluttony, there are no other shortcomings.

It's also nice to have multiple people in company.

"Let's go, don't rush to repair the pigsty today, come with me to the town. ”

"What are you going to do?"

"Get rich, do you want to go?"

"Go. ”

I didn't ask if there was a lack of a door, but Fan Yang was joking.

There are still several kilometers from the village to the town, and even bicycles are a rarity in this era, and transportation is basically on foot.

Every 3rd, 5th, and 7th in the town, there are villagers carrying their shoulders or carrying a backpack along the road, walking along the road with difficulty.

In this era, it was extremely difficult for farmers to sell vegetables and earn one yuan or two yuan.

"Fan Yang, have you heard, the second dog of the fourth team, I heard that he is getting married?"

On the way, there was a lack of a door and suddenly said.

"I haven't heard of it. Fan Yang replied expressionlessly.

"Hehe, the appearance of the second dog, I don't know who is blind and can look at him. ”

“......”

"What the are you doing. ”

Maybe because of his youth, Fan Yang was more or less cheerful and smiled: "What's the matter?

Missing a face, he was still a little shy, but then his face darkened.

To be honest, his disability aside, he is still so tall and has a good appearance.

It's a pity that if he hadn't met Fan Yang, he would have been difficult in his life.

With only one hand, it is difficult to find a job.

Lacking a door, he barely squeezed out a smile and said: "If you don't want a woman, it's good to have a full mouth." ”

After thinking for a while, he said very seriously: "Fan Yang, when will this day come to an end?"

"Do you really want to hear it?"

"That's for sure, I've got to find a way to spend some money. ”

"Don't worry, money can definitely be earned, aren't you still young. ”

The two had an awkward conversation without a word, and the speed was still quite fast, but it took more than half an hour to walk to the town.

Today coincides with the market, and the street, which is only three or four meters wide, is crowded with people.

Accustomed to living in the city in later generations, Fan Yang, who has a vegetable market every other section, was shocked by the fact that it was not big or small.

"What the hell is this, why are there so many people rushing to a set?"

Seeing the dense crowd of human heads in front of him, Fan Yang couldn't help but say.

"How many people are there, we are late, and if we are a little earlier, we can't squeeze in. ”

Missing a door and glanced at Fan Yang in fuss.

Fan Yang also had breakfast in the morning, but he obviously didn't eat anything, and when he saw a steamed bun seller on the side of the road, he was so hungry that he couldn't move his legs.

Seeing that there was a lack of a door, he was about to squeeze inside, and Fan Yang pulled him.

"Go, be careful and wait to catch it, and break the other hand for you. ”

"It's okay, it's a big deal, just run faster. ”

“......”

"Don't. Fan Yang still grabbed the missing door. "Wait and eat at the shoe shop. ”

The further you go, the more people there are.

Looking at the posture of this crowd, Fan Yang was really taken aback.

This is a small town in the countryside, with several nearby townships, countless production teams, and at least tens of thousands of people, all relying on this town to distribute commodities and sell crops in exchange for necessities for life.

There is only one street in total, two forks, and the main street is only a few hundred meters long, and the streets are lined with large and small shops.

I walked carefully all the way, and found that the business structure of the town is still very simple, with mills, oil mills, oil and rice seasoning shops, teahouses, restaurants, and the town government, health center, a primary school at the end of the street, and a circle of stationery stores and non-staple food stores.

Usually deserted, but as soon as you arrive at the market, you can't get through.

In this kind of town, there is no concept of urban management.

Merchants who go to the rivers and lakes, fortune tellers, dog skin plasters, rheumatism and pain relief, medicine and wine, and tooth fillers, where there is a vacant position, they will be placed.

There are also those who spread out a plastic bag and sell yellow rubber shoes, sickles, hoes, shovels, etc., and they come and take a look.

A small dirt street, when it rains, the ground is full of mud, and the cars can't pass, looking at this posture, the population that circulates in a day is not more than several thousand.
