Chapter Twenty-Six: The Man Who Fell into the Eyes of Money (Three More Ten Thousand Words for Collection and Recommendation)
Our hometown, in the field of hope.
Cooking smoke wafts over newly built homes.
The creek flows beside the beautiful village.
A slice of winter wheat, (that) a sorghum.
Ten miles (yo) river pond, ten miles of fruity fragrance.
Ahem, we've lived in the fields for generations.
Rich for her, prosperous for her—
Our ideals are in the field of hope......
"Hmm~!It's seven o'clock again! Why is Uncle Wang so punctual every day, and he has to fight with the square dance aunts of later generations. What should I call him? Uncle Radio! Why don't you let me sleep until I wake up naturally!!" Jia Lei muttered and reluctantly opened his eyes, but he still didn't want to get up and lie under the quilt until half past seven, and didn't get up to put on his clothes and socks until half past seven.
One of the major features of the eighties and nineties was this kind of radio uncle. At that time, there were very few televisions and they could not be carried around! The radio was something that almost every household had, especially popular with some old men, and the old people listened to the sound of the radio behind their ears (bad meaning), and the volume button was turned on to the maximum enough to fight for the square dance aunts of later generations.

Jia Lei got dressed and opened the door and went out, squeezed out of the crowd to go to the kitchen to wash. Yes, squeeze out! The living room has been filled with people watching the TV, most of them are old people and children, and they are getting up early these days.
Those who get up at eight o'clock will be considered lazy boys (girls)!
Since he was almost abducted and sold, Jia Lei stopped the business of selling tea eggs at the train station, and after this adventure, Jia Lei understood a truth and recognized the reality!
With his small body, if he has neither a special ability nor a golden finger, he accidentally - the game is over!
Proper cannon fodder life!!I just don't know where the protagonist is?
If he accidentally burps, what's the use of making more money!
"Dying before leaving the school often makes heroes cry!"
So since that night, Jia Lei has been at home for two days. Every day, he lives like a pig who eats, sleeps, sleeps, and eats, and occasionally goes out to watch TV with everyone. There is still no family around, but unlike the otaku who lived alone after graduating from his previous life, he is not lonely now, he is almost annoyed to death now!!
"Winter vacation!
There is no shortage of bear children, especially Jia Lei's family and the rare thing of color TV. The children from the three nearby stations came, and some of them did come by bus, or the grandmother came with her grandson.
"Ding Zero Zero!" A bicycle bell rang outside the door, and Jia Lei hurriedly ran out to open the door.
"Godmother, you're here! Be careful, I've had a place reserved for you in the house beforehand. After Jia Lei finished speaking, he stepped forward and carefully helped the old man who got off the back seat of Ah Fei's bicycle.
Since Ah Fei rescued Jia Lei, Jia Lei really recognized Ah Fei's mother as a godmother, kowtowed and drank tea!
Ah Fei's mother came once and fell in love with Jia Lei's unique small fire wall that can sit on people, so Jia Lei specially used flower cushions for her to occupy an exclusive seat. As a landlord, Jia Lei still needs this privilege.
Ah Fei is very filial, and sends the old man over early every morning, and then picks him up in person in the evening. The relationship between him and Jia Lei is close.
"Huh——! it's still warm here, I used to hear the weather forecast that the winter in the Northeast was minus twenty or thirty degrees, and at that time I wondered how you Northeast people spend the winter? I didn't expect your winter to be warmer than us southerners!" Da Fei said with a sigh of relief in the house.
"We have a wall of fire in the northeast, and we are not afraid of minus 50 degrees Celsius!" Jia Lei said proudly, a question that almost every local who came to his house would ask.
"This wall of fire is such a good thing, it's so comfortable to make. It's especially good for the elderly with rheumatism!" Da Fei said as he walked to the wall of fire and helped him to sit down, and then he naturally took the two children sitting on it to make room for him to sit down.
"Ah Fei, don't bully people. The godmother reproached him slightly.
"Got it, Mom! I'll just make it warm for a while and leave, and the place will be returned to them when the time comes. Da Fei said nonchalantly, and glared at the two little ghosts and threatened them not to cry and complain. Anyway, his mother has bad eyes, as long as she doesn't make a sound, she won't be discovered.
As one of the most famous gangster leaders in the neighborhood, Ah Fei's name is well known to women and children, and even a five-year-old child has been warned by adults not to provoke him.
Jia Lei went to the kitchen cabinet and took out salted peanuts and melon seeds and brought them over to his godmother and Ah Fei as snacks to eat, Ah Fei unceremoniously grabbed a handful and ate them, but the godmother patronized and listened to TV without eating a bite.
"Godmother's eyes are just cataracts, why don't you go to the hospital for surgery? She is only 50 years old and can live for decades, she can't always be blind with her eyes open! The operation is very simple, and her eyes can see after she is done. Jia Lei cared and persuaded.
"What is cataract surgery? Doesn't Chinese medicine say that it can't be cured?" Ah Fei asked, people in the 80s and 90s were particularly old, and the 50-year-old looked similar to the 70-year-old now, because the previous few decades had been unstable and almost everyone had a very hard time.
"Cataract surgery is a thing of Western medicine, which is very simple to remove the layer of white film covering the eye, which is very simple and will not have side effects. Jia Lei said.
At the end of the 80s, information was really underdeveloped, and not many people knew anything as simple as cataract surgery. Not to mention that people at that time had an inexplicable fear of having to go under the knife, and many older people refused to have surgery for this reason.
Of course, this had something to do with the fact that there were not many hospitals that could perform cataract surgery at the time.
"You tell me to think about it again, and my mother won't necessarily agree, and she'll have to call a good doctor when the time comes. Ah Fei said.
There is another reason why Ah Fei didn't say it, he was a little tight on hand and was afraid that he wouldn't be able to come up with the operation fee. Don't look at the fact that he earns a lot every day, but he has to eat and drink, dress and have fun, and raise twenty or thirty younger brothers. That's really a lot of money, but it's just a bright face.
"Hey, I'm about to grow hair after two days at home, and I want to go to the train station to sell tea eggs!" Jia Lei looked in the direction of the kitchen and said, his tea eggs are all there.
"I said you're sick, don't you have to go out to blow the cold wind if you don't stay in such a warm room? You don't lack money, why do you have to go to the train station every day to sell tea eggs?" After Ah Fei finished speaking, he threw a handful of melon seed shells on Jia Lei, and Jia Lei slapped it in disgust.
"Don't you understand?! Don't I just want to make more money while it's a good time, and it won't be so easy to earn money in a few years. It's not right, in a few years, the money will be easier to earn than now, but then the money will be worthless!" Jia Lei said distressedly.
Ah Fei is not being reborn like him, of course he doesn't understand, people now would never have imagined that in less than five years, the rate of inflation will be faster than that of a train! Qian Mao's 100 yuan is the same as the current 10 yuan.
"How can money be worthless! Don't be kidding! I think you are just working hard and being obsessed with money! If you fall into the eyes of money, do you still want to go to the square to sell tea and eggs? Aren't you afraid of another accident?" Da Fei asked, it just so happened that the summer animation theater on TV was broadcasting the King Kong gourd baby, and the big baby was dragged into the eyes of the money by the green snake spirit, and the children screamed angrily.
"I want to sell tea eggs, how easy to make this money! As long as I don't have to move to the place, the money will come by myself, but now I can't-" Jia Lei said infinitely melancholy.
It's not because of safety concerns, it's just in time for the Spring Festival.

"There are so many people in the square in front of the train station now, more than 200,000 people a day! With my small body now, what should I do if I am trampled to death?" Jia Lei said bitterly.
In 1990, there were no computer ticketing, no ticket sales outlets, no 20-day advance pre-sale period!
All the people who want to buy tickets can go to the only few ticket windows at the train station seven to ten days in advance to queue up day and night to buy tickets, many people are in a row for two or three days or even seven or eight days, and the people on the train station can imagine how many.
No matter how bold Jia Lei is, he doesn't dare to go to the square in front of the railway station to sell tea eggs at this time, at this time, the square in front of the railway station is full of people, and the square is full of people and sometimes even lines up on the road outside the square.
For 200,000 people there is no concept, it doesn't matter!
Just think about the big square outside each train station, and it's all crowded with people like the morning rush hour subway.
How many people should there be!!
Now the price of land in the city is so expensive, and the vicinity of the railway station is particularly prosperous, why do adults at all levels let go of this big golden land, it is not that they are afraid that there will be too many people and no place to stand.
