If there is a word, it is long, and if there is no word, it is short. After the Wang family's father and son were wiped out, more than a month passed in a flash.

Gu Biao successfully obtained the graduation certificate, and also avoided being reported to the high school promotion list by the head teacher, Mr. Yang, according to the escorted students.

After graduating, it is supposed that he should be immediately caught and thrown into the countryside to cut the queue - after all, he is the replacement for his sister's place to return to the city, and his sister returned to the city as early as May for some reason.

However, Dad used the dispensing resources in the factory to delay as much as he could, and helped Gu Biao delay until mid-July.

Gu Biao didn't care about this, but his father, who knew the suffering of the people, taught him a lesson:

"Do you think the countryside is so easy to mix? It was the hardest day of the year for the peasants, and it was good to sleep for five or six hours a day, and they could not stop until sunrise until dark, and they had to eat under the sun on the ground.

If I hadn't sold my old face, I would have dragged you until mid-July. Wait until the early rice in the production team is almost harvested and the late rice is about to be planted. With your body bones that have never suffered hardship, you will lie down in a week!"

Daddy wanted to drag it out until the end of July, but that was impossible. After all, if a young intellectual, who is in the queue, completely escapes the busy season of double robbery, it will only make him be squeezed out by other farmers in the team for the following year. It's better to endure a little hardship, and at the time when the farmers have just been busy for more than half and are most exhausted, they will appear as "firefighters", and maybe they can end up well.

People's hearts are like this, and the older generation, who are used to society, do not lack this simple wisdom.

Sister Gu Min also knew the pain of double robbery, and prepared a large package of dead plum vegetables for Gu Biao, and also prepared two large strips of salted meat, and instructed Gu Biao to pay attention to replenishing salt and water:

"You're just starting to do heavy lifting, and it's hot. Remember to cook porridge with moldy dried vegetables, get some winter melon if you have salted meat, cook more soup, and replenish salt and water, otherwise the heat stroke will be over. ”

The Gu family doesn't have meat tickets, so these two pieces of salted meat were obtained by Ma Feng from the black market-

Since he went out to see the world with Gu Biao, Ma Feng has been running away from the black market meat without tickets on weekends for more than two months, and there are dozens of yuan of income from each trip.

So far, not only has he already paid off the capital owed to Gu Wei, but he has also saved three or four hundred yuan of private money. As for meat, Ma Feng has no shortage at hand.

When he heard that Gu Biao was going to a neighboring province to join the queue, Ma Feng was also shocked and came to visit Gu's house.

Daddy Gu Yong originally didn't like Gu Biao to make more friends who fought in groups at school and had black five types of friends at home (Ma Feng's family is about to be rehabilitated, and it will be fine next year).

However, looking at Ma Feng's door, it was a gift of carrying two pieces of salted meat, and it seemed that he was very grateful for his kindness, and his father acquiesced to Gu Biao's "mistaken friend".

"Brother Gu, why did you go to Hui Province to cut the queue? Really fake? Why don't you get closer? I will also cut the queue at the end of the month, but it's very close, and it's in Huiji. "The parting is imminent, Ma Feng is so cold and warm.

Gu Biao patted Ma Feng's shoulder and said earnestly: "It doesn't matter how far or near it is, I will come back in half a year." You should also study hard, and don't focus on making a little money - the national policy will soon take a turn. ”

In addition to making money recently, Ma Feng also knows a lot about Gu Biao's deeds in the meeting, so his admiration for Gu Biao has become more and more desperate.

After all, Ma Feng, who is in the second year of middle school, was originally a temper of happiness and revenge, but it is a pity that he has made so many small enemies, and none of them can handle it.

And Gu Biao was just because his sister was bullied, saying that if he killed the thief's family, he would kill the whole family, and kill the Wang family until he cut off his children and grandchildren, and by the way, he also eliminated the traitor for the country. This kind of pleasure and enmity is almost to make Ma Feng worship to the point of cross-starlight.

Therefore, he listened to Gu Biao's words unconditionally.

At that moment, Ma Feng patted his chest and promised: "Big brother, don't worry, since I graduated, I will plan well." To tell you the truth, I am about to stop buying Hujiang meat without a ticket-the policy has fluctuated so much recently, and I can't do it at all.

I heard from those people in Hujiang that the policy has fluctuated so much recently, and the privileges and preferential treatment in Hujiang such as 'buying meat without a ticket' are also related to the instigation of some people who entered Beijing from Shanghai in the past few years. Now, with the central crushing ***, the liquidation is completely completed. All the privileges proposed by the bad guys will also be counted backwards. In the future, let's live a serious life steadfastly. ”

Gu Biao didn't expect Ma Feng to be so well-informed, but he didn't have to spend more time persuading.

Many of Hujiang's privileges were gradually liquidated and canceled after the central government smashed a certain evil organization, and Gu Biao, the general trend of history, knew about it, but he just didn't know the details.

So Ma Feng's statement, he completely believed.

Gu Biao calmly persuaded: "It's good that you are willing to retreat despite the difficulties." As the old saying goes, it's better to lose early. As soon as you make money, you are too smooth, and you think you can do anything, but when the time comes, it will be a big loss. ”

The abrupt halt of this business due to external setbacks is not necessarily a bad thing.

Maybe it can prevent the horse wind from expanding prematurely, so you don't have to force the count.

……

Ma Feng sat at Gu's house for a while, and the Gu family also left him to eat together.

In the end, Ma Feng took out a sum of money and handed it to Gu Biao in private while his father and Gu Min were not paying attention.

This is his recent experience in the black market of antiquities trading in Qiantang - when the father and son of the Wang family in the Red Star Tea Field fell that day, Gu Biao only spent 500 yuan at the beginning and asked the educated youths to receive seven or eight fine products.

Of course, Gu Biao will not sell these fine products on the black market.

But later, he also figured out the potential of this business, and spent dozens of dollars to get a few broken cups and saucers that the remnants of the educated youths did not sell—this was done before the end of May.

There are hundreds of educated youths in the tea field, and not all of the inventory dug up back then were sold to Wang Pingshan, and there are always fish that slip through the net. And after Wang Pingshan was shot, a few people temporarily felt that those antiquities were dangerous, and it was better to discount them, so they gave Gu Biao a chance to pick up the leaks.

After Gu Biao received the goods, there was no channel to make a move. But then he pondered that Ma Feng was clever, and he had been in the black market for two months, so he knew a little bit about the doorway. arranged for him to give him two broken cups and asked him to help find a home to ship.

When shipping, Gu Biao also has a bottom limit - explain that Ma Feng must not be sold to foreigners, and do not sell to second-class dealers, it is best to pick those who are willing to collect quietly.

For this reason, Ma Feng specially went to the black market of antiquities trading in Qiantang.

Although Qiantang is not as good as Panjiayuan in Sijiu City, it is also a coastal provincial city after all, and there is still a black market for antiquities.

Ma Feng spent a month and felt that this thing was very difficult to do—if he couldn't sell it to foreigners, then almost no one would buy it. Nowadays, this thing is generally worthless in China, and collectors will receive it for hundreds of yuan. Even Wanwan is poor, and in 77 years, Wanwan people can't come to the mainland at all.

Gu Biao also realized that he had thought about the problem simply, and finally pondered a way: "Then you can go around every day to see if there are any Hong Kong businessmen who come to travel locally." If you meet a Hong Kong businessman, go up and peddle it. ”

Ma Feng didn't understand at first: "Isn't that equivalent to selling to the British? And do Hong Kong businessmen have the money and interest?"

The reason why Ma Feng asked this question is of course not surprising. In 77 years, who would dare to say that Xiangjiang would be forcibly taken back by the imperial court. The people thought it was a British colony.

But Gu Biao knew that this was different, and Xiangjiang was going to return after all. In the case of having to accumulate original funds, selling them to Hong Kong businessmen who used them for their own collection can be regarded as taking into account the protection of antiquities without betraying the country.

Of course, there will definitely be some losses in profits. If the same goods are given directly to the person without considering the issue of betraying the country, he can make at least three or five times more profit than selling them to Hong Kong businessmen.

Ma Feng lingered on the black market for more than a month, and finally seized an opportunity, and really hooked up with a Hong Kong businessman, handing over the money and delivering a song.

The two Song porcelain cups, which were already a little broken and needed to be repaired, were sold by Ma Feng at the price of 3,000 yuan each. (If you are willing to sell it to yourself and hoard it, you can sell it for tens of thousands)

At this time, he handed over the 6,000 yuan of the return to Gu Biao, and Gu Biao also took out 1,500 yuan as a commission for Ma Feng to help find business opportunities and intermediaries.

In the past few months, Gu Biao has become accustomed to this ratio: all the businesses that Ma Feng took the initiative to help him create were given a quarter of the performance.

With 1,500 yuan, Ma Feng's heart was extremely excited, Gu Biao asked him to help sell two broken porcelain cups, and the income was already many times more than the black market meat business he had tossed for several months. also made his private money skyrocket from 500 yuan to 2,000.

"Brother Gu, do you still have broken porcelain from the Song Dynasty on hand? I'll find a Hong Kong merchant to ship it for you!" Ma Feng was a little bit of a eater, and he couldn't let go.

Gu Biao persuaded him: "It's out of stock." And don't think that 3,000 yuan a shipment is very profitable, this is all forced to sell. With a little capital, it's better to be a down-to-earth person. ”

Ma Feng was still a little unwilling, but with a roll of his eyes, he seemed to have thought of another way out, so he didn't entangle with Gu Biao anymore.

……

Early the next morning, Gu Biao took a large bag of luggage, pedaled a bicycle, and embarked on the road to Xuanzhou GD County - it was the closest county to Wuyue Province in Xuanzhou, Hui Province, and it was posted on the edge of Huzhou, a small mountainous county in Tianmu Mountain, which could be reached within 150 kilometers.

The reason why Dad arranged for him to go there was also to consider that Tianmu Mountain is a summer resort, and it is relatively shady in summer, so it is obviously painstaking.

There is no railway between the two places, and it is also troublesome to take a long-distance bus, because you can only go to Huzhou. So Gu Biao simply regarded it as fitness.

After riding for a whole day, only at noon, when it was the hottest, I rested in the bamboo forest in the mountains and ate dry food. In the evening, I asked for directions all the way and finally arrived at the destination farm.

Under the guidance of the old farmer, he walked into several bungalows on the edge of the town, surrounded by large hillside terraces, and saw a white-painted wooden sign hanging at the door of the bungalow.

Gu Biao walked into the door, but there was no one inside. He waited a full 15 minutes before a female staff member rushed in.

He politely stopped and asked, "May I ask if this is the educated youth office of Dushan Farm?"

The woman was a little rough and asked angrily, "What are you doing?"

Gu Biao: "That, I'm a new educated youth who has come to report." Can you go through the formalities and assign me a place to live?"

The woman scratched her head: "Educated youth, why didn't you come earlier! Now, you drop all the things first, and I'll lock them up for you. Take off your shoes and go to the seedlings first. Come back after dark, and I'll do the formalities for you!"
