Chapter 24: Busy
Guo went back to call the old man, and the old man was washing the dishes, and after Guo went to talk to him, he nodded silently.
The old man has been a little worried recently, because since Guo Qu was bitten by a poisonous snake, he seems to have changed as a different person and has become much more sensible.
After washing the dishes, as soon as the old man walked into Uncle Guo's house, Uncle Guo gave the money. It can be seen that when Guo went home, his uncle had already prepared the money.
This thousand yuan may not be most of his uncle's savings. This shows that his uncle is still very good, in this era, there are not many people who borrow a thousand yuan, even in the county.
Of course, there must be other reasons for this, such as his uncle was raised by the old man, and the old man is equivalent to his father.
It's ironic enough that the old man's biological son doesn't know how to be grateful, but this nephew of the old man is so good.
When he got home, the old man handed Guo a thousand yuan, and then went back to the room where he slept, and after a minute or so, the old man came out and handed him another three hundred yuan.
"This is my savings for most of my life, you can take it all, I don't know much about the way to collect waste, anyway, you have to be careful. ”
Guo Qu was silent, and never took the three hundred yuan in his grandfather's hand, he could see that this money was the coffin book of the old man, the old man was in his sixties, and he had not bought a coffin, so he was already lagging behind the other old people in the village.
In rural areas, many elderly people start to build coffins for themselves in their sixties and put them in the back of their houses.
As long as the coffin is there, it is very satisfying, because if the coffin is there, then after death, it is equivalent to having a place to stay, and will not become a lonely ghost buried casually.
To put it more clearly, the coffin can give the old people in the village a sense of security. The old people are very open-minded, everyone is going to die, and they want to have a place to live after death.
"Take it! It's a big deal to earn it later, your grandfather and I are only sixty-three years old, it's still early! Besides, if you don't have you, I don't believe that you won't buy me a coffin in the future." ”
The old man has given up all the power to be in charge of the house to Guo, maybe it is what Guo Qu has done in the past two months that has moved him, let him know that Guo Qu can't be regarded as a child.
Guo Qu naturally understood this, held back his tears, and took the money, "Grandpa, I accepted the money, I will try not to use the three hundred yuan." ”
In fact, what he wanted to say was: I will buy you a coffin as soon as possible.
But as long as you say this, it doesn't feel right, maybe if you say it, the old man will be so angry that he will slap Guo Qu's face, and then point to his nose and ask: Do you want me to die like that?!
It was late at night, and they went back to their houses and went to bed.
……
Changjiang, as mentioned earlier, grew up eating 100 family meals, and now he is in his 40s and still eating 100 family meals.
And although he is stupid, he has much more backbone than many people.
He walked around the village every day, and when he saw anyone who needed help, he didn't need to be told by the master's house, so he went immediately, and then stayed at the helper's house to eat.
This is his way of survival, so he is very dedicated, maybe he himself does not know what it means.
Today, I am going to continue to collect waste, and Guo Qu naturally wants to call him. Multiple people, it is equivalent to an extra laborforce, and you can collect waste products while letting your grandfather and the Yangtze River carry waste together, so that you can save a lot of time.
It can even be said that for a long time, the Yangtze River was an indispensable labor force, and he only ate and did not need wages.
Even if Guo goes to give him money, the money will be cheated by others, you must know that Sanyuan Township is famous for being stupid. But his three older brothers have some trouble......
As for the other fool, not in this village, but in another village, a little far away, but much better than the Yangtze River, because the man knew how to steal.
When I walked to the neighboring village, I started with the ones I "visited" yesterday, and at the same time deliberately amplified my voice, "Uncle, is anyone at home? I came to collect the waste yesterday! If so, I will respond, do you sell your waste or not?"
Guo Qu put his voice loud, how can he let the people who live not far away hear, so that the collection of waste will be smooth, as long as they see that someone has sold the waste products, then they will naturally come over and ask the price.
"You're you again? I thought you weren't coming. It was a middle-aged man who opened the door, and when he saw Guo Go, the middle-aged man showed his face.
"According to the price I said yesterday, I don't know if you can sell it, uncle?"
"Sell. ”
After that, he went back to the house to pick up the scrap to be sold.
Guo went to wait outside, he kept an eye on the surroundings, saw someone next door to this house, looked at him, and already knew his method in his heart, and succeeded most of it!
People follow the trend, as long as a few companies sell scrap, the rest of the people who see it will naturally think about whether to sell their own scrap.
When the people familiar with the village heard that the price was more expensive than the street, the news became the straw that broke the camel's back.
"Baby, what is the price you charge?" finally a bystander couldn't help but ask.
"Old books cost four cents a pound, iron is seven cents, aluminum is eight cents, and I will give one piece of copper. ”
"It's so cheap? I bought it with a stove, but it's equivalent to six or seven yuan a catty!"
"......" Guo Qu was a little speechless, but he still patiently explained, "The price of a good pot is naturally high, I collect waste products, and the price is this price." However, I dare say that the price I give, no matter which township you go to, no matter who you go, is not as high as the price I give. If you don't believe it, you can ask the owner, he only went to the street yesterday to ask, and the price I gave must be the highest. ”
Guo Quyi said very confidently, but unfortunately, people still didn't believe him. It's like setting up a stall on the street, no matter what, the buyer won't believe the seller's price, it's just the other way around.
However, everything is under Guo Qu's control, this person will definitely ask the villagers, after all, they are from the same village, compared with Guo Qu, a child, he is naturally willing to believe acquaintances.
The crowd began to increase, people are like this, curiosity is very heavy, seeing Guo Qu, a stranger talking in the yard of another house, naturally curious, and then come over, as long as he comes, he will naturally hear Guo Qu, and the people in the next village and the owner of the house in front of him.
Guo Qu is equivalent to just painting a cake, and leaving the rest to this group of people to imagine, whether the waste products in their homes are sold or not depends on themselves.
What's more, if other methods are used, even if Guo goes to kneel and beg them, they will not sell it, but will feel more and more that there are good things in these waste products that they don't know, otherwise Guo Qu will kneel and beg them.
