Chapter 50: Preparing for the Southbound
I talked a lot with my mother in the morning.
Wang Qiang basically persuaded her to let her go on a long trip, and when she first said that she was going to the south once, her mother reacted very violently, but fortunately, Wang Qiang wanted to earn 10,000 yuan to silence her mother.
The mother originally wanted Wang Qiang to die, she was probably worried that Wang Qiang would leave without permission if she didn't agree, so she reluctantly agreed, in other words, if Wang Qiang really wanted to leave, she would disappear if she didn't pay attention to it, so she simply agreed, at least knowing her son's movements.
As for talking about the other two, it's like a chicken talking with a duck.
From time to time, there were two words of persuasion in the mother's tone.
Wang Qiang asked her not to go into the water to fish, he was afraid that something would happen to his mother if he was not there.
The mother just said that she could do it very perfunctorily, and then asked, "You said that I don't worry about going far away, why don't I go with you?"
Wang Qiang pinched the 300 yuan she asked to return to Lu Dahai in the bag and the more than 100 broken tickets hidden before, and said: "I want to go to Guangzhou and Shenzhen, and the fare is about 12 per person, and it is more than 200 round trips." ”
My mother hadn't been out of the house much, and she was shocked when she heard it, "So expensive?"
This price is definitely expensive for now, and cheap for later. After all, now in 94 years, the monthly salary of workers is only 300, and the price of green car hard seats has not risen much from the 90s to later, for example, 98 years Shanghai to Guangzhou hard seat 157 yuan, 17 years 206 yuan.
"Well, I'll be back in a few days. Wang Qiang nodded and instructed: "Don't go down to the river when I'm not at home, it's not safe." ”
"Yes, yes. The mother still had the same attitude, and said persistently: "Why do you have to run so far, I ......" She didn't finish her words, her eyes were full of worry.
As the saying goes, raising a child at the age of 100 is 99 years old, Wang Qiang understands what his mother thinks, but he doesn't understand stocks and can't go to the stock market to make money, in other words, even if he remembers, he was still seventeen years old at this time in his last life, and he has never been exposed to the stock market in this era Where do you remember which stock makes money, although many people say that buying a stock makes a lot of money, but it is impossible for him to make several times more money in half a month, right?
Wang Qiang wanted to transport goods from the south to the north, and use the information gap to achieve the goal of earning 10,000 yuan in half a month, he comforted: "Mom, don't worry, I'm seventeen years old and can take care of myself." ”
The mother sighed and blamed herself: "It's all because my parents are incompetent." ”
Wang Qiang was relieved a few more words, but he was thinking in his heart that what should he do if his mother was not safe to go into the water during his absence? He had to find someone to take care of him, according to his understanding of his mother's temperament, seven or eight times out of ten, when he went to Guangzhou Shenzhen, his mother would go into the water to fish and make money, and he could earn more than 100 a day, which was a temptation that most people in this era could not resist.
I thought about it for a while.
He came up with a solution.
So while his mother was making lunch, Wang Qiang pushed his bicycle and went out.
……
Hexi.
Cross the narrow wooden bridge and come to the back of the only building.
In front of me is a mud-walled and grass-roofed house, and the doorway is cleaned up.
Wang Qiang got off the bicycle, put down his feet, and shouted inside, "Lu Wei, are you at home?"
A girl voice like a silver bell came from inside, "Brother, someone is looking for you." ”
Immediately after, a thick voice came, "Who?"
Wang Qiang pushed open the half-hidden wooden door and replied, "I, Wang Qiang." As soon as I stepped in, I saw Lu Junjun sitting behind the earthen stove and cooking, the smell should be fish, a little fishy, like no cooking wine and ginger, although the house is simple, but it is very tidy, and the ground is clean.
Lu Junjun obviously found out that it was him, and nervously stood up from behind the stove, and stammered, "You...... What are you doing here?" she then became a little nervous, "You promised not to tell my third uncle last time." ”
The shirtless Lu Wei ran out of it, glanced at Wang Qiang, and said with a sad face: "Brother Qiangzi, you just told my third uncle that I stole your fish cage, don't bring my sister." ”
The two thought that Wang Qiang couldn't swallow that breath, so they chased after him today.
Wang Qiang, who was a little embarrassed by them, hurriedly said: "You think too much, what will I tell you the third uncle to do? ”
Hearing that the brother and sister were relieved, Lu Junjun patted his chest and sat down to burn the fire again, but his mouth asked his brother to beckon Wang Qiang to sit down.
Looking at their impoverished home, Wang Qiang was very emotional, two rooms inside and out, except for two small wooden beds and four immortal tables, there was nothing, even seven or eight bowls and chopsticks could only be placed on the stove, poor, these brothers and sisters are too poor.
Lu Wei moved a bench for Wang Qiang, stood there and said with a smile: "Brother Qiangzi, is there something wrong?"
Wang Qiang didn't sit down, and directly explained his intention, "I may have to go out during this time, and I want to ask you to help my mother get out of the cage every morning and get out of the cage every afternoon." ”
Lu Wei's eyes flickered, and he refused: "I don't have time, I have to help my sister earn tuition." ”
Wang Qiang saw Lu Junjun's eyes glancing over, and said with a smile: "I won't let you do it for nothing, ten yuan a day, how about it? Just do me a favor every morning and at five o'clock in the evening." ”
Lu Wei was shocked, glanced at his sister, swallowed his saliva and said, "Ten ...... Ten yuan a day? Just help Aunt Cheng pick up the cage and get out of the cage, it's so simple?"
"Hmm. Wang Qiang nodded, "But you have to promise me, my mother asks, you are only allowed to say that I asked you to help, not that I give you money." ”
Lu Wei didn't think about it and agreed: "No problem." Ten dollars a day is too great a temptation for him and his sister to refuse.
Wang Qiang took out a stack of broken tickets from his pocket and counted out seventy-five yuan, "About fifteen days, I will pay half of the deposit first, and I will give half of it when I come back after fifteen days, right?"
"It's okay if you come back and give it back. Lu Wei said with a grin in his mouth, but the movements in his hands were not slow, and he quickly took it and stuffed it into his pocket.
Wang Qiang smiled dumbly, he was not afraid that Lu Wei would not do anything after receiving the money, this person's character was more trustworthy, in his memory, he learned one thing, when Lu Wei went to visit his sister who went to college, he picked up a small leather bag containing 50,000 yuan at the school gate, not only did not keep it for himself, but waited until the owner was found, and the owner was later the boss who raised Lu Junjun.
In order to thank Lu Wei, the boss specially invited him to dinner, and Lu Wei wanted to take his sister to have a good meal, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen.
In fact, this matter is not only known by Wang Qiang, but also by the vast majority of people in Minqiang Town, as for the credibility of the story, he thinks it should be 100 points, because this is Lu Wei drunk after his sister jumped off the building and committed suicide, a person who loves his sister so much, it is impossible to talk nonsense about his sister, not to mention that he spit the truth after drinking, it should not be wrong, Wang Qiang believes that Lu Wei's character is stronger than most people.
After solving his worries, Wang Qiang got up and went home, he was still thinking about how to get the start-up capital, whether to sell the watch, or to borrow money from Qin Xiaohui?
As for the more than 2,000 yuan that his mother had in hand, he didn't use his brain, because Wang Qiang felt that since his mother didn't want to go by herself, she would definitely not take out the money.
……
Back home.
Wang Qiang was absent-mindedly finished lunch with his mother and was about to go to the county to see if the watch could be sold.
As for borrowing money from Qin Xiaohui, he can't pull off that cheek, it's a big deal to buy the watch and owe Lu Dahai a favor, and he will find a chance to pay it back in the future.
Suddenly, my mother didn't wash her dishes and went to the room.
Wang Qiang was stunned, thinking that she was in a bad mood and didn't want to wash the dishes, so he stood up and cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks.
Just halfway through the packing, the mother walked out of it, "Qiangzi." ”
"Huh?" Wang Qiang turned his head to look over.
The mother was holding a small cloth bag in her hand, she carefully opened it, revealing a hundred yuan bills with blue flowers, "Here is the money you earned before, I kept fifty yuan, and the remaining two thousand eight are all for you." ”
Wang Qiang was stunned, "Give it all to me?"
Mother smiled: "Didn't you say that you would earn 10,000 yuan in half a month? She didn't believe it herself, the reason why she gave the money to Wang Qiang was because she didn't want her son to have no money to make a catastrophe, since she wanted to make her son die, she must be convinced, the money was given to you, and she couldn't earn 10,000 yuan in half a month, so she had nothing to say, right?
"Hmm!" Wang Qiang nodded very hard, and took the two thousand eight hundred yuan, the banknote was not heavy, but his heart was heavy, knowing that it was all the money in the family.
You only get one chance.
I want to earn 10,000 yuan in half a month.
Wang Qiang is under a lot of pressure, and at the same time, he is glad to have the start-up capital and solve his worries, and he is ready to prepare and go south tomorrow.
