Zhong Yuemin and Ma Guiping took the cripple three home, and Aunt Ma helped cut his hair, let him take a shower and change his clothes, and the whole person looked new.

"Third brother, the bath water is dark, I'm afraid you haven't taken a bath for half a year, right?" Zhong Yuemin teased.

Lame Sanhan said with a smile: "Since I lost my job, I haven't washed it properly, and I wander on the street every day, and I am indeed buried." ”

"Why did you get to this situation?" Zhong Yuemin was puzzled: "Before the reform and opening up, you dared to do business and run business, why is it that now that the policy is relaxed, you are down?"

"Hey, after this time, I'm now so timid, and my body is not good, and my brain is not turning as fast as before, so it's basically useless!"

Zhong Yuemin looked at the cripple three, who was more than ten years older than before, and felt sad, in order to help him, the lame three ran around in order to help him, carved the radish chapter to open a letter, but now he has aged like this.

"Third brother, come with me to Beijing. Zhong Yuemin said: "Don't dare to say anything else, eat and dress warmly, it must be no problem." Zheng Tong: They are also in Beijing, and we can meet a few of them. ”

"Eh, it's a wasted person, why are you going with it? It's not causing you trouble!"

"How can you cause trouble?" Zhong Yuemin said: "Third brother, I have a lot of houses in Beijing, and I have been short of people who can rest assured, if you go to help me, do you think it will be successful?"

"This ······" Lime hesitated.

"Third brother, you should help me!" Zhong Yuemin asked sincerely.

Aunt Ma persuaded: "Big brother, you just follow Yuemin, it's not a matter for you to be on the street!"

"Yuemin is about to get married, you are his good brother, you should go and see. Ma Guiping persuaded again.

Everyone persuaded them in every possible way, and the cripple finally agreed to go to Beijing first, of course, nominally to attend Zhong Yuemin's wedding.

Zhong Yuemin knows his temperament, although he has lived on the streets, he is a tough person in his bones, and he is unwilling to be a burden, especially unwilling to affect himself.

Zhong Yuemin thought to himself that he had to find something to do for the cripple three, so that he could support himself and at the same time restore his confidence in life.

Men cannot lose their means of livelihood, and without means of livelihood will make people lose their courage, and if they have no courage, they will lose their self-confidence, and they will collapse.

"Third brother, how have you been all these years?" Zhong Yuemin said in the middle of the night.

Lame Sandao: "I just entered, I was not familiar with the place, I ate some rows, received some education, and no one bullied us after a long time, but this day is not better, every day is the same from morning to night, and what to do at what point is arranged clearly."

One day, the rice bowl was a little oily, and I realized that it was the first day of junior high school, and another month had passed. I don't have to worry about starving inside, but this day is really difficult, it's really not a place for people to stay, and after I came out, I thought that even if I starved to death in the future, I couldn't go back. ”

"It's really a bit of humanity in it. Zhong Yuemin sighed, "Why did you reduce your sentence later?"

"The forehead is also confused, the forehead was originally thinking that he would die inside, but he didn't expect that the prison cadres would suddenly announce that the forehead could come out, and it would not be until the forehead really came out, and the forehead would dare to believe it. ”

"Then you must have performed well in it to release it in advance, right?"

Lime San shook his head, "The forehead has long been figured out inside, if you don't make great contributions, it will be great to reduce it by three or five years just by doing a good job, and it is impossible to reduce it by ten years." ”

"The people in the prison didn't give you an explanation?" Zhong Yuemin asked.

Lame San still shook his head, "I just said I could go out, but I was stunned at the time, and I didn't bother to ask." ”

Zhong Yuemin also couldn't figure it out, he always felt that there was something strange in the middle, but in these years, he didn't pay attention to procedural justice, and there were many inexplicable things in the public procuratorate and law, and no one made it clear.

"Third brother, do you have any plans next?" After Zhong Yuemin asked, he felt that he had asked a stupid question, and he was limp and lost his heart, and he had no plans at all.

Sure enough, he limped: "Let's go to Beijing to see your marriage first, and then let's talk about the rest of the matter." ”

Zhong Yuemin took the hand of the cripple and said: "Third brother, listen to my advice, you are only in your forties this year, you can't live like this for the rest of your life, go out with me first and see if you can find something to do!"

"I've been in prison for a long time, I'm old and frail, what else can I do?"

"Now everyone goes to the sea and is self-employed, but speaking of which, you are still the earliest self-employed!" Zhong Yuemin said, "At that time, you were running around, buying and selling things, and you could do anything, why did you dare not open up the policy now?"

"There are only two kinds of people who have squatted after they come out, one is to break the jar and break it, and the other is to be as timid as a mouse like me. Lame San smiled bitterly: "The policy is a piece of paper, today is the east, tomorrow is the west, we really can't figure it out, or don't touch it." ”

"Reform and opening up is the trend of the times, and if you don't change it, you won't have anything to eat, even if it's a little repetitive, it's all a small wave, and you can't stop this open boat. Zhong Yuemin said.

"The small wave is a big disaster for us ordinary people!" "Lame Sandao: "A few years ago, in the number, the cadres also organized a study to learn about the eight kings of Wenzhou, and they all did this, and they were not also caught!"

"I know this, but you don't know the rest of it. ”

"What's the matter?

Zhong Yuemin nodded: "Last year, these people were basically released." The central authorities have made up their minds to liberalize the individual and private economies and invigorate the economy in an all-round way. Let's put it this way, our goal in the next few decades is to develop the economy!"

"When you say that, I understand. "Lame Sandao: "The country will allow everyone to make money now, so we don't have to be afraid!"

"Yes, in the future, we will rely on our own abilities and work hard to make money!" Zhong Yuemin said: "Making money is the last word! Don't panic wherever you have money in your pocket!"

Lame San was obviously a little moved, he thought for a while: "Yuemin, then what do you say I can do, I don't know anything!"

"Don't you know how to engrave and unlock locks? This is all technical work, and ordinary people can't do it!" Zhong Yuemin said, "Not to mention anything else, if you set up a stall on the street, you can carve seals and unlock locks for people, how can you have enough food and clothing!"

"E-is released from the inside, can you let E-do this?" said Lame San suspiciously, "E-'s tools were confiscated back then." ”

"There is no law that says that people who have been released from prison are not allowed to fend for themselves! Besides, you are doing this to provide convenience for the people, and this is a good thing!" Zhong Yuemin said, "The tools are easy to handle, just buy another set!"

"Some can't buy them, so you have to make them yourself!"

"Again, these things are a piece of cake for you, but for others, they are completely confused!" Zhong Yuemin smiled: "This is your specialty, it is your eating craft!"

"Hey······ hey" After Zhong Yuemin's persuasion, the cripple looked a lot calmer, and even discussed the way to make a fortune with Zhong Yuemin.

Zhong Yuemin thought for a while and said: "If you want to get rich, you still have to start with the industry you are most familiar with." ”

"The forehead will be engraved and unlocked, and this can also make a fortune?" asked the lame three.

"Of course we can make a fortune!" Zhong Yuemin said: "As long as we do a little better than others and quickly do large-scale, we can do it." ”

"How can it be different from engraving and unlocking?"

"For example, what kind of lock do we people need?" Zhong Yuemin inspired.

"Of course, it's a lock that a thief can't open!" said the limp without thinking, "but there is no lock in this world that can't be opened!"

"That's right, when I meet a master like you, I feel furious in my heart, so I want to buy a powerful lock, but there is no such lock on the market!" Zhong Yuemin continued: "Then if we can make one, will there be many people who want to buy it?"

"That's really!" Lame Trinity slapped his thigh!

"You know best about sliding doors and picking locks, ordinary thieves sweat on their heads if they can't open it for a minute, and they start to shiver after two minutes, and they usually have to run away if they can't open it for three minutes!" Zhong Yuemin said: "As long as the lock we make can hold the thief for twenty minutes, it will definitely be qualified!"

The cripple san's eyes lit up, "If there is such a lock, then it can basically make the thief angry to death!"

"That's what happened!" Zhong Yuemin said: "Third brother, you think about it, when will it come out, let's sell this angry thief's lock to the world!"

······

After Master Ma took the money and disappeared, Taozi and Huazi were indeed a little depressed, but they were not too immersed in this matter, and made up their minds to take this month's salary and leave the construction site and go to other industries.

"We get paid. ”

"Get paid?" said the steward who had brought them in, looking at them, "you've already received your wages." ”

"Have you received it?" Taozi was shocked, "Teacher, have you made a mistake? When did we receive the money?"

"Look, it's already signed on the ledger. The steward threw the ledger to them, "What I received a few days ago is recorded, and it will not be wrong." ”

Taozi took the account book and looked at it, and a person's name was signed behind the two names, "Who is the polo?

"How can you not know each other?" the steward squinted at them, "Polo is your introducer, but he interceded that day to let you in!"

"Is the polo the old horse's head?" the pig's head reacted immediately.

"It's him, skinny like that, and it's called polo! It's funny!"

"That's not right, how can he get the wages of the two of us?" Taozi immediately retorted.

"Do you really not know, or are you pretending to be stupid?" the steward asked rhetorically, "He helped you introduce jobs, and you have to give him a month's salary as a thank you fee, this is all the rule, don't you know?"

"Huh?" Taozi and Pighead were dumbfounded, "When did he become our introducer?"

"Then I don't care!" said the steward, "You two are on his head, don't get in the way of others receiving money!"

"That's it, go aside!" the workers in the back queue coaxed them, all in a hurry to receive their wages, and had no time to sympathize with them.

Taozi and Pighead walked to the side in despair, and sat on the pile of stones next to them, wanting to cry without tears, and looking at each other without words.

The steward probably guessed what happened to these two people, and sneered: "Mao didn't grow up before he came out to break into the rivers and lakes, and he was tired and tired for a month, so that the turtle son of the old horse head took a lot of money!"

······

Two people sat on the field in the afterglow of the setting sun, silent for a long time.

They don't have a penny on them anymore, and they have been eating white steamed buns and pickles these days, working hard, planning the next step, and all of them have been in the soup.

"Get paid for the next few days. ”

The pig's head looked up and saw that he was in charge, and he was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

"Originally, this money should be settled next month, but it is not easy for you two children to come out to work, so I will pay you first. ”

Taozi was also stunned, a little unbelievable that the steward, who had always been arrogant and rude, would do such a thing.

"Don't be stunned, take the money, don't be deceived again!" the steward stuffed the money into Taozi's hand and left.

The pig's head took the money and counted it, and there were more than 300 yuan in total, which was the salary they had been working day and night in the past few days.

"Let's go, let's go back to the dormitory, pack up, and get out of here. The pig's head pulled up Taozi, who was still sitting on the ground, "If we don't show our personal appearance, we can't go back." ”

······

"Army, what are you talking to Robert?"

Li Kuiyong saw Wei Dajun and the foreigner mechanic Robert talking and making comparisons, scratching his ears and cheeks.

"Ask him some technical questions. Wei Dajun took a notebook, "You asked me to write a report, I don't know much about foreign automobile technology." ”

"Can you two talk clearly?" Li Kuiyong asked, "Lao Luo can still do a demonstration of technology, how can I talk to you about technology?"

"Draw. Wei Dajun said: "We don't understand English, but we can still understand the picture." ”

"Okay, I have this ambition. Li Kuiyong said, "But English, you still have to learn." Although I am not convinced, we still have to learn foreign car technology, and those materials are in English, if you don't understand, it is similar to illiteracy. ”

"Brother, it's okay for me to learn a few words from Lao Luo, it's really embarrassing for me to let me read English materials!" Wei Dajun could, "English knows me, I don't know him!"

"Don't be afraid of this!" Li Kuiyong said: "I'll find you a teacher!"

"Who?, male or female?" Wei Dajun said curiously.

"My sister. Li Kuiyong said: "I asked her to come over and translate for Lao Luo, and teach you by the way." ”

"Your sister, ouch, I haven't seen it yet!" Wei Dajun's eyes kept rising, "Do I want to give a greeting gift?"

"Send a fart! Sue you, don't beat my sister's idea!" Li Kuiyong warned viciously: "She just joined the work after graduating from college today, and she is simple-minded, if you let me know that you have bad intentions, be careful that I break your third leg!"

Wei Dajun was so frightened that he immediately tightened his legs.
