Chapter 16 Things Begin to Change

As the days passed, Li Yadong gradually had one more trouble - he had too much money and didn't know where to hide it.

In these years, there will be no 50 or 100 large banknotes in the future, and the highest face value of the renminbi is 10 yuan of great unity, and the minimum face value is a small yellow car of one cent. And almost all the income from selling roast duck is gross tickets, and ten yuan can have a big stack, not to mention that he now has three or four hundred yuan.

His room could almost be described as a house with four walls, except for a wooden bed, plus a long table, nothing else, and there was obviously no bedding on the bed in the summer. There was a night pot under the bed, useless for years, the only place he could hide his money, but now it was full.

He even had the urge to have a showdown with his mother, and the benefits were obvious, the money could be handed over directly to his mother, and he didn't have to dig out his mind to find a place to hide, and the price was that his summer money-making career would probably end there.

In the end, it was completely out of the idea that he didn't want the next days to be too boring, Li Yadong changed his mind and decided that the money in the future would simply be placed in Zhang Chunxi, anyway, there were no secrets in his family.

Just after breakfast in the early morning, Li Yadong was sitting outside the door and his fourth sister was pulling homely cooking, and suddenly heard a rhythmic "dong dong" sound from the entrance of the village, got up and jumped to look, it turned out that there was a cargo man in the village, and in some places he was also called "sugar changer". ”

Li Yadong didn't feel anything, at most he evoked some memories, and after about two thousand years, this kind of person almost disappeared. But Li Dongmei was overjoyed, and she was so busy that she was about to run over to see, and Li Yadong had no choice but to follow.

There are many people like them, the children in the village are the most active, some run out with rice bowls in their hands, and more than a dozen hairy boys go to the mud road, directly blocking the people's goods at the entrance of the village, and they can't enter the village.

The merchant carried two baskets, each with a square wooden box on the top, the left containing the hard maltose, and the right box was much more elaborate, and the inside was divided into many small compartments, containing all kinds of delicate knick-knacks, and covered with a glass panel.

The eyes of the little children were basically attracted by the snow-white maltose, and there were also two little female dolls staring at the beautiful gadgets in the glass box with envy. Li Dongmei, like them, loves beauty is the nature of girls, regardless of age level, poverty or poverty, and many things will be overshadowed in front of beauty.

"Look at Ha, there are delicious sugar lumps, rubber ropes with wraps, colorful hairpins, glass beads with cores, and all kinds of beautiful buttons. If you like it, you can go to the house to find out, and you can exchange any scrap copper and rotten iron, chicken feathers and duck feathers. ”

The goods are doing business, and when they see someone watching, they take the opportunity to unload the burden and introduce it. Of course, when he said this, he looked more at the two adults present.

It's just that after a while, everyone didn't move at all, and the little children who were about to fall to the ground didn't want to change, but there was really nothing to change at home, and this was not the lunar New Year, how could there be chicken feathers and duck feathers at home?

"This ...... How do you change this? My family just slaughtered a chicken some time ago. Li Dongmei fell in love with a big red plastic hairpin, and with her character, she was able to assert her own questions, and she obviously liked it tightly.

"A chicken feather?" The goods Danlang originally thought that he was coming to business, and he was a little excited, but after hearing that there was only such a little chicken feather, his head shook like a rattle in his hand, "That can't change this hairpin, at most change a palm-long rubber rope." ”

After saying a word, he felt that this wave of business was not very reliable, so he took advantage of the situation to pick up the load of goods and prepare to enter the village.

"Wait. Li Yadong hesitated, but he couldn't hold back after all, he really couldn't see the lost eyes of the fourth sister, "There are not so many chicken feathers at home, do you collect money?"

"Money, collect it!" The cargo man paused slightly, looked at Li Yadong with a smile, and asked, "Little brother really wants to buy it with money?"

In the past, I didn't dare to collect money for fear of being charged with the previous investment, but now the wind has changed, and small traders abound, and there are not many more than him. He wished that everyone would pay for it directly, so that he would not have to go back and forth.

"Okay, I'm going to ...... this hairpin"

"Xiaodong!" Before Li Yadong finished speaking, he was grabbed by Li Dongmei's arm, "Don't you dare to spend money indiscriminately." ”

"Sister, what's this called spending money indiscriminately, don't you like it, I'll buy it for you. Li Yadong replied with a smile.

"I ...... I don't want it, you have money and you keep it for yourself. Li Dongmei simply turned her head away and didn't look at the load, and her attitude was very resolute.

She is clear about the conditions at home, her younger brother is about to go to college, and there are more places to use the money, and her mother is now eager to break a child in half to use it, so can she add a burden to the family at this juncture?

I said...... Little brother, do you still want to buy it?" the goods bearer was a little nervous, and he didn't want to miss out on such a cash-out deal a few times a year.

"Buy, you wait. ”

Li Yadong ignored him after glancing at him, patted Li Dongmei's hand and said: "Sister, let me tell you a little secret, in fact, I have money, a lot of money, and I have already saved enough money to go to school, so don't worry about it." ”

"What?"

Li Dongmei didn't know if she didn't react for a while, or she was carried away by this sudden good news. Taking advantage of her daze, Li Yadong took out a "red tractor" from his trouser pocket and handed it to the cargo man.

"Well, I'll charge you one dollar, issue a card for six cents, and find you four cents. As if he was afraid that he would regret it, the man quickly stuffed the money into his pocket and began to look for it.

Li Yadong didn't bother to care about the price of one or two cents, waved his hand and said, "Don't look for it, the rest of the money will knock a piece of candy for each of them." ”

“…… Eh!" The goods dan Lang Lang paused for a moment, probably because he didn't expect such a good thing, and made two deals at once, and after glancing at Li Yadong in surprise, he hurriedly knocked candy for the little children next to him.

"Mr. Li, have you made a fortune?"

"Yes, I heard that you were admitted to university, did the school give you money?"

"Or did you go out and pick up the money?"

The little kids didn't expect happiness to come so suddenly, and their faces were smiling, a little caught off guard.

"Get out!" Li Yadong glared at the children who spoke just now, and said viciously: "Just eat here, and then go back to the village after eating, if anyone dares to go home and talk more, don't say that there will be no such good things in the future, and I will meet him to make his ass bloom." ”

I think that he Li Laoqi was also famous in the village back then, except that he had never climbed the widow's wall, he had never done anything? He had grown up in recent years and had converged a lot, so as soon as this fierce and vicious appearance was revealed, a group of little children were suddenly silent, and they quickly patted their chests and promised not to say anything about the death.

"Xiaodong, where did you get so much money?" It wasn't until the cargo bearer carried the goods into the village that Li Dongmei finally came back to her senses.

"Sister, sit down, listen to me talk slowly......" Li Yadong knew that the fourth sister was his mother's intimate little padded jacket, and she was also the person who was most likely to leak the news, and it was not easy to get her, so he was ready to make a tirade and pulled her to sit down on the dirt road.

didn't make up nonsense, just told me about my business, and then complained.

"Sister, I know it's not a decent thing, I just want to share the worries of the family, you see how difficult it is for my mother to save some money, but there are too many places to use money in college, where is that little money enough?

As soon as she heard that her younger brother was going to be hungry, Li Dongmei's whole heart softened, and she asked with red eyes, "Didn't you say that the university issued food stamps?"

"Hair is hair, thirty pounds a month, what is enough? When I am growing my body, I will definitely not be able to eat enough. When the time comes, I will have to work and study, and I may have to clean the toilet, and I am not as decent as I am now. ”

"Cleaning the toilet, how can you do such a thing, you are a college student!" Li Dongmei felt incredible.

"So, ah......" Li Yadong spread his hands and said, "I don't want to clean the toilet either, so what can I do?

Li Dongmei looked at her younger brother with a distressed face, and after hesitating for a while, she made up her mind and said, "Xiaodong, then you go ahead and do it, I won't tell my mother about this." ”

"Sister, you're so nice. Li Yadong tilted his head, leaned on his fourth sister's shoulder, and let out a long breath.

Every time he told a relative about this matter, Li Yadong's heart was relaxed, and from this point of view, he was indeed not a person who was good at lying.

It took a lot of effort to persuade the fourth sister, and after Li Yadong and Zhang Chunxi met, they hurried to the town at a faster pace.

Today's business is still hot, Li Yadong really didn't want to engage in "hunger marketing", but he received the same result. Now as long as it is noon, there will be a long queue on the street in front of Cai Xiaohui's house, which is a phenomenon that has never been seen in the town before, and there are even people who come from the township.

After working for most of the day, on the big cutting board made by the old locust tree, there was finally only the last roast duck left, Li Yadong held a sharp kitchen knife, did not raise his head, and asked while slicing the roast duck familiarly: "How many servings?"

The customer on the opposite side didn't move, Li Yadong couldn't help frowning, raised his voice and said, "How many copies?"

Well?

There was still no movement.

Li Yadong was a little annoyed, raised the knife edge and chopped it the cutting board, "Eh, you person, do you buy it or not, don't stand in the pit if you don't sell it......"

As soon as he raised his head, he couldn't help but shudder, and then swallowed his saliva fiercely, swallowing the rest of the words directly into his stomach.

Li Yadong didn't expect it, he happily got the fourth sister in the morning, and he was arrested in the afternoon!

"Eh, I said young man, where are you going, why don't you have a piece, the people behind us haven't eaten yet!"

Li Yadong was like a prisoner, escorted home by a middle-aged man with an angry face.

"Chunxi, that person is a little familiar just now, who is it, how did Yadong see him react so much?" In front of the roast duck stall, Cai Xiaohui took over Li Yadong's work and asked with a frown.

Zhang Chunxi, who was next to him, also swallowed his saliva fiercely, his face was full of bitterness, and he replied with difficulty, "He...... Eldest brother. ”
