Chapter 21: Let Your Dad Be Careful

Can Tao Xueming not understand the other party's hints, of course he understands, doesn't he just want to keep the big brother.

But that's not going to be good.

Big Brother is a rare thing in this era, and it is also a symbol of status, and in the entire Coal Cloud County, there is only one in the hands of Director Li.

He's the second one now.

After leaving the office, Tao Xueming took Bao Zhipeng back to the bathhouse, and now it was dawn, and no one could sleep.

Tao Xueming is not idle, he has to hurry up and start the bath business, and it is best to open it in three or two days.

Strive to make money as soon as possible, take your father away from that place of right and wrong, and don't have to look at your stepmother's face in the future.

A day later, the people in the county heard about the arrest of the criminals, and many people applauded, and some set off firecrackers to celebrate.

At the same time, a mysterious little prodigy who solved the case also began to circulate among the neighbors.

Everyone said that this little prodigy was very powerful, very mysterious, and said that the prodigy was a god descending to earth, the son of Guanyin, and had very incredible means.

"The little prodigy everyone is talking about, it's you. ”

Bao Zhipeng said with laughter.

Tao Xueming also laughed, people in this era are still more superstitious, especially I don't know who added oil and vinegar and added some things that are not there.

People believe it.

It's good that I didn't say my name, otherwise I would have been famous.

After the two laughed, Bao Zhipeng asked: "Xiao Taozi, the bathhouse will be almost ready the morning after tomorrow, when will we open?"

Tao Xueming thought about it for a while, the bath was repaired, and it couldn't be used for two or three days, but an ordinary bath was still okay.

"I'm going to open tomorrow afternoon, I'm going to buy some furniture and sofas or something, and get the rest area on the second floor. ”

Tao Xueming said, opened the drawer, and took out a hundred yuan, this hundred, you can buy a lot of things, and you can't even spend it.

"Baozi, you watch here, I'll go to the city to have a look. ”

Tao Xueming put on a pair of gloves and a shabby hat, took a small satchel and went out.

It snowed all night yesterday, the road was icy and it was cold.

Ten minutes later, he walked to the bus station, the ticket cost five cents, and he could sit directly in the provincial capital.

From Coal Cloud County to the provincial capital, there are about 30 kilometers in total, and the price of five cents is really not expensive.

The minibus was very broken, bumpy all the way, and it was very cold, and the driver was reluctant to turn on the air conditioning.

Tao Xueming sat on the stool, swept the people in the workshop, and sighed in his heart that although he was reborn and came back, he still couldn't accept it.

I always feel like I'm sitting here, a little out of place with people now.

Many villagers brought live chickens and ducks to the city to sell, and there was a smell wafting in the carriages.

What they discussed in their mouths was also how much meat and vegetables cost a pound, which couple quarreled again, and where the children would go to work if they couldn't pay the tuition fees.

Tao Xueming sat silently and didn't move, and he kept listening to these uncles and aunts.

Thirty kilometers of road, driving for almost an hour, before entering the city.

Tao Xueming turned his head to look out the window, his eyes were blank, outside the car was a snowy expanse, everywhere was deserted land, collapsed houses, and telephone poles one after another.

He vaguely remembers that decades later, it was all high-rise buildings, all cement roads, RT-Mart was at the crossroads, and there were square dancing aunts in the square diagonally opposite.

After more than 20 minutes, the car stopped and stopped, and finally came to the station.

The station is very dilapidated, with only a small three-story building here, and urban and rural buses from several nearby counties will stop here.

Tao Xueming walked out of the station and went directly to a nearby thrift market.

The thrift market has everything from ordinary pots and pans to some furniture or appliances, all of which are placed on the floor.

A few years ago, the three oldest items in the lives of residents were bicycles, watches and sewing machines.

It's the late 80s, the early 90s, and the new three have become washing machines, refrigerators and TVs.

These three things are like luxury goods in modern times, and you must know that the per capita income in the city is less than 100 yuan.

But a Xiangxuehai single-door refrigerator costs more than 600, a double-door refrigerator costs more than 1,000, and some imported things are extremely expensive.

There's no way to buy it.

Tao Xueming stopped at the door of a store, staring at a black and white Changhong TV, the new machine written on it costs 1,200 yuan, and the current price is only 500 yuan to buy home.

Tao Xueming is a little excited, he hasn't watched TV for a long time, and he misses it very much.

But he touched his pocket, forget it, there is only a hundred in his pocket, and the TV will talk about it next time.

A few minutes later, Tao Xueming walked to the door of a store that sold furniture and began to pick out what he wanted.

The second floor is a private room and a lounge, which requires reclining chairs, sofas, and wardrobes.

After a few turns, I really found a few good things, and the price was okay.

"Boss, these ...... I want all of this, can I send them home?"

Tao Xueming asked.

When the boss saw that Tao Xueming wanted so much, his face was very surprised: "Child, what about your parents, why did you come out to buy things alone." ”

Tao Xueming said speechlessly: "I buy a piece of furniture, and I still need my parents to come to my mother, so you can tell me if I can send it to my home, a total of 30 kilometers." ”

"Yes, but you'll have to add five bucks. ”

"Five yuan, you are too dark, you can send it to me for the next two days, at most four yuan. ”

"Deal. ”

The boss agreed without even thinking about it.

Tao Xueming had a question mark on his face, did Lao Tzu give too much money, maybe two yuan was enough.

After all, the round-trip ticket is only a few cents.

"A total of seventy-three pieces and four cents, and four cents are exempted for you. ”

The boss smiled and came over with an abacus.

"Okay, take a receipt. ”

Tao Xueming didn't bother to bargain, after all, more than seventy yuan could get the second floor right, and it was worth it.

After paying the money and taking the receipt, Tao Xueming wrote the address of the bathhouse to the other party.

After all this, Tao Xueming went to a small stall nearby to eat, two steamed buns, a plate of pickles, and a bowl of egg soup, which was less than five cents.

After eating and drinking, Tao Xueming wiped his mouth, got up and left.

When he walked out the door, Tao Xueming accidentally saw a wall calendar hanging on the wall.

He sighed in his heart, today is the sixth day of the new year, the day of Director Li's accident.

I don't know if Li Cui told the other party in advance.

But hopefully there will be a say.

Tao Xueming looked at the potholes and snow, this kind of broken road, the chance of a car accident is 90%.

"Mother-in-law, you must tell your father. ”

Tao Xueming muttered to himself, this car accident was still very serious, and Director Li almost had to amputate his leg.

Even if I found the best hospital and spent a lot of money on treatment, I still fell ill and walked with a limp.

When Tao Xueming met his girlfriend, he also met the aging Director Li, who was gray-haired at that time, and he had already lost the high-spirited temperament of his youth.

The two also talked a lot.

If he hadn't been reborn and came back, he wouldn't have met Director Li so early in advance, but whether he could change the other party's car accident this time depends on his luck.

Tao Xueming shook his head with a smile and walked out.

Suddenly, a person hurriedly walked over, didn't look at it, and hit him directly.

The man fell to the ground.

Tao Xueming was almost about to scold, why are you walking in such a hurry, you don't have long eyes.

Hey?

Tao Xueming looked at the man in front of him carefully, looking at him in his forties, wearing heavy reading glasses, and looking honest.

In his mind, a person immediately came to mind, Zheng Chao, the director of a nearby brick factory, jumped from a chimney dozens of meters high because of hundreds of thousands of debts after the wave of layoffs began in the 90s.

This Zheng Chao is now well-known in the local area, and the brick factory is very big, and he can make a lot of money a year.

"Uncle, you're fine. ”

Tao Xueming immediately had a smile on his face, and he reached out to help the person up.

Zheng Chao nodded without saying a word, looking preoccupied.

Tao Xueming secretly guessed that looking at the other party's appearance, he was obviously worried about the coal matter.

In the past two years, the state-owned enterprises have undergone tremendous reforms, and the private enterprises have been the most severely affected.

The state-owned coal plant must have cut off the supply to the other party.

"Uncle Zheng, I know you, I can help you solve your current difficulties. ”

Tao Xueming said directly.

Zheng Chao raised his head sharply and looked at him in surprise.

……

In the morning, Li Cui went out to buy groceries and heard many neighbors discussing last night's events.

After several murderers were arrested, many people applauded, and the oppressive atmosphere that shrouded the county also disappeared at once.

Many people are talking about the little prodigy.

Li Cui had a smile on the corner of her mouth, and she didn't know who spread it, Tao Xueming's help to solve the case was actually known by the neighbors.

After buying vegetables, Li Cui returned home with a basket.

"Mom, where did Dad go?"

"Your dad went to the city for a meeting, and he left a long time ago. ”

Li Cui sighed, her father is the factory director, and she has heavy tasks and often goes to meetings, she has long been used to it.

Subsequently, Li Cui went to the kitchen to wash vegetables and prepare to cook.

Wait a minute!

When washing vegetables, Li Cui's expression changed slightly, and she suddenly remembered an important thing.

A few days ago, when she went to deliver dumplings to Tao Xueming, the other party reminded her not to drink when her father was driving.

And today is the sixth day of the new year!

Thinking of this, Li Cui immediately rushed out of the kitchen and shouted, "Mom, can you contact your parents and ask him to drive and not drink." ”

"It's long gone, or you can use the BP machine to say something. ”

Hearing this, Li Cui thought about it carefully, it was too troublesome to use a pager to notify, and it would take several hours to come and go.

If you think about it carefully, you won't notice it, Dad used to drink and drive a lot, and it's fine.

Dad has always been a cautious person, and this time it should be fine.

After figuring it out, Li Cui didn't take this matter to heart, turned around and went back to the kitchen to continue washing vegetables.
