19. Working people are the most beautiful
The Xiali car drove slowly around the village.
"This Beishan Township is poor enough. Driving the car, Liu Chuan said casually.
"It's okay, that's all there is to the countryside. Zhang Dongming leaned back on the co-pilot, the potholes of the dirt road made the car bumpy, and those memories of the past jumped up and down in his mind.
Unlike Gong Liguo and Sun Shufen, Liu Chuan has played a very important role in Zhang Dongming's life for nearly 20 years, from junior college to rebirth.
Success and failure, laughter and tears, the two of them have experienced too much together, scene by scene is so clear, everything seems to have happened yesterday, which makes Zhang Dongming's mood difficult to calm down for a while.
Mixed feelings, gains and losses.
This is something that Zhang Dongming did not expect before he met Liu Chuan, and at this time he didn't even know what kind of mentality and state to face Liu Chuan who had returned to him sixteen years ago.
Tick – tick –
A few car horns sounded in a row, pulling Zhang Dongming's flying thoughts back.
"Damn, this donkey. Liu Chuan couldn't help but scold.
Zhang Dongming looked up and saw that it was the donkey tied to the door of Erzhuzi's family blocking the middle of the road, Liu Chuan was not afraid when he honked his horn, Zhang Dongming got out of the car and patted the donkey's buttocks twice before getting out of the way.
"Turn left. ”
"Turn right. ”
"Turn left again. ”
"Labyrinth. ”
"It's all over the place. ”
As they spoke, the car arrived at the door.
Get out of the car, open the door and enter the hospital.
Liu Chuan looked back and forth, nodded, and then noticed that there were two girls' clothes on the clothes pole, including a lace bra.
"You kid is ......"
Before Liu Chuan finished speaking, Tang Wan just came out of the house with a basin of water.
Zhang Dongming went to pick up Liu Chuan just after eating, Tang Wan had just finished cleaning the bowl for Zhang Dongming and poured water out of the house.
"My college classmate, Liu Chuan. ”
"Tang Wan. ”
Zhang Dongming briefly introduced the two to each other.
Tang Wan nodded, didn't say much, and said generously: "Come into the house." ”
house.
"Tut-tut-t-" Liu Chuan looked at Tang Wan who was watering the flowers in the garden, then turned his head to look at Zhang Dongming, with a lewd smile: "It's enough!"
"It's okay, it's just to live together. ”
"A pure relationship between men and women. ”
"Nonsense. ”
"I believe it!"
Zhang Dongming smiled and didn't say much, there is nothing to explain about this thing, and it can't be explained clearly.
The two chatted for a while.
Zhang Dongming originally said that the two of them would go to the township restaurant for a meal, but Liu Chuan said that he had to go, and he still had something to do in Weizigou Township, so he had to go back to the city before dark.
Zhang Dongming didn't stay, the relationship between the two is nothing polite, he also knows Liu Chuan too well, this guy seems to be in a bad shape, and he is very reliable in speaking and doing things, just like this time.
"Is that enough?"
In the courtyard, Zhang Dongming handed Liu Chuan the ten catties of fresh mushrooms and five catties of dried mushrooms he bought when he went to the village below yesterday.
There are red mushrooms and yellow mushrooms in it, half and half, he didn't pick it, there are good and bad ones, such samples can explain the problem, it's okay, it's not okay, it's not okay, he can't be opportunistic because of Liu Chuan's relationship.
"Enough. Liu Chuan took the mushroom: "I'll take it back and let my dad see it, the day after tomorrow at the latest, I'll give you a letter." ”
"Don't worry, don't be embarrassed, what should I do. ”
"Come on, stop talking nonsense. ”
The two of them spoke, walking towards the door.
Walking to the door, Liu Chuan turned around and shouted to Tang Wan in the garden: "Brother and sister, let's go." ”
……
……
There are not many students themselves, and most of them are blank papers, even if the teachers are not in a hurry, on the third day, the papers of each subject of the final exam are all judged.
In Tang Wan's class, the top five are: Zhao Xiaoli, Bai Dongsheng, Wu Chang, Ma Hongxu and Bai Juan.
The reason why it is only ranked in the top five is, of course, that the results of the students behind are too miserable, and the ranking is really meaningless.
And among these five people, in fact, the results of Zhao Xiaoli and Bai Dongsheng can be seen.
Among them, Zhao Xiaoli passed every subject, and scored nearly 80 points in mathematics and English, ranking second in the school.
Bai Dongsheng's words failed the four subjects of mathematics and history, geography and politics, and his grades ranked twelfth in the school.
In fact, Bai Dongsheng's mathematics is okay, he scored 56 points, mainly because the three subjects of history, geography and politics are too high, and they are not over 50, if you want to throw away these three subjects, his results can almost rank in the top five of the school.
Then in this exam, what surprised Tang Wan a little was Ma Hongxu's results.
He scored more than 50 points in mathematics, physics, and English, and although there was still no hope of getting into high school, it was already a lot better than the last exam.
That's pretty much the way the final exams went, and then we waited for the students to return to school in two days' time.
And then about mushrooms, Liu Chuan also called at noon today, saying that there is no problem, their company has just run out of mushrooms recently, so let Zhang Dongming call him when he has collected enough, if you go to a trip, fresh or dried mushrooms should not be less than 500 catties.
In terms of price, the basic price of fresh and dried yellow mushrooms is 15 and 40 yuan a catty, and the basic price of red mushrooms is 35 and 80 yuan a catty respectively.
Zhang Dongming himself didn't know anything about the price of mushrooms, of course he trusted Liu Chuan very much, Liu Chuan said that it was as much as he wanted, but this price still surprised him a little.
Because in this Beishan Township, the price of fresh and dried yellow mushrooms is only 10 yuan and 20 yuan a catty respectively, and the red mushrooms are only 15 and 30 yuan a catty respectively.
It's too profitable.
If he can collect more than 100,000 catties, he will become a millionaire all of a sudden.
Of course, Zhang Dongming knew that there could not be so many, otherwise where would this business be his turn.
The mushroom matter is decided, and the next step is to prepare.
So in the afternoon, Zhang Dongming went to Wang Er's house.
It has been said before, and there is no nonsense, Zhang Dongming paid 700 yuan, which can be regarded as officially renting the broken door face of his house in the room on the main street.
As for signing a contract or something, there is no such thing, it is rented for a month, not much money, and the relationship between Wang Er and Gong Liguo is also very good, which is similar to borrowing 1,800 yuan from the neighborhood, I didn't hear anyone say that I have to write an IOU.
For breakfast, Tang Wan's egg cake.
These days, under Zhang Dongming's careful teaching, Tang Wan's level of baking egg cakes has made great progress, just like today's baking, quite round, quite thin, not too bad, not much paste.
"Xiao Tang, congratulations on being able to leave the school. "Eating," Zhang Dongming said.
"No, I don't. Tang Wan looked at the egg cake on the plate: "It's not much worse than your baking." ”
"No, no, no, it's pretty good, really. Zhang Dongming hurriedly said: "The rest is to slowly accumulate experience." ”
"It's also good, it's good to burn too much. ”
"Uh-huh. ”
Zhang Dongming also can't help it, since Tang Wan began to learn to bake egg cakes with him, the breakfast of the two of them has become egg cakes almost every day, this girl is in high spirits but doesn't feel it, but he can't stand it when he eats like this every day.
"What are you going to do for a while?" asked Zhang Dongming.
"It's fine. Tang Wan said.
The paper is also sentenced, and after the students return to school tomorrow, they will completely enter the summer vacation, and like Zhang Dongming, Tang Wan is also completely idle.
"Then help me clean up the house?"
"Okay. ”
The face of Wang Er's house has been idle for more than a year, and it is very buried inside, and the dust and cobwebs have to be cleaned and cleaned, after all, it can be regarded as opening the door to do business, and it is not that if it is too bad.
After eating, the two of them simply cleaned up and prepared to go out.
Then looking at Tang Wan wearing white short sleeves and a light blue long skirt, Zhang Dongming went back to the house and took out his biggest gray short sleeve and handed it to Tang Wan: "You wear me this, the house is too buried, you wear this to work, short sleeves and skirts are gone." ”
Tang Wan looked at the short sleeves in Zhang Dongming's hand: "No need." ”
Zhang Dongming smiled: "Don't worry, I just washed this yesterday and haven't worn it yet." ”
Tang Wan hesitated for a while, but still took the short sleeve.
"You should change your skirt into shorts, too. ”
"Oh. ”
Tang Wan said yes and went back to her room.
After a while, he came out wearing Zhang Dongming's big gray short sleeves and a pair of denim shorts.
Because the short sleeves are big enough, this girl basically shows her white, straight and slender long legs underneath, and Zhang Dongming also subconsciously looked at it twice.
"Do you want to go?!"
"Let's go. ”
Get out of the house and lock the door.
Zhang Dongming carried a water basket and a rag, and Tang Wan took a broom and a rub and went to the street.
Along the way, Tang Wan, who wore such a dress today, naturally attracted some extraordinarily rich eyes, especially the young men, but this girl has always been natural and generous, and she didn't care too much.
Passing by the store, Zhang Dongming went in and bought a mop and a towel.
Tang Wan asked him what he was buying a towel for, and Zhang Dongming said that he would use it as a headscarf for her when he worked for a while.
When he arrived at the place, Zhang Dongming took the key and opened the door, and immediately a musty smell came, and Tang Wan also knew how buried the house was.
"Bury it. Zhang Dongming said with a smile.
"It's fine. Tang Wan said.
Zhang Dongming smiled and didn't say much, he carried the water basket into the door, and looked around: "I'll sweep the beams and walls first, there are too many cobwebs and soil, you wait outside for a while." ”
Just the door of a room, Zhang Dongming roughly swept it after a while, and then when he came out of it, he was already covered in dirt.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Dongming asked.
"It's fine. Tang Wan smiled.
"You clean the glass, I'll drag the wall first. ”
"Hmm. ”
"Here, tie it to your head. Zhang Dongming handed the towel he had just bought to Tang Wan.
Zhang Dongming originally thought that she wouldn't tie it, but it turned out that this girl would tie it up with three clicks and five divided by two, and it was very standard, a bit like an authentic guerrilla in an anti-Japanese TV series.
"What's wrong?" Tang Wan asked.
"It's fine. Zhang Dongming smiled.
Tang Wan rolled her eyes and wiped the glass with a rag.
Half a day, almost noon, the house was almost cleaned up.
This is not a big deal for Zhang Dongming, a little surprising that Tang Wan is quite capable, although a little clumsy, but not too afraid of burying it, when the two of them finished work, this girl's original white face has become like a cat.
Of course, Zhang Dongming is much more miserable than Tang Wan, and the whole person is almost like crawling out of the mound.
On the way back.
That's true. Zhang Dongming carried a water basket and a mop cloth.
"What?" Tang Wan took the broom and a scrub, and the towel was still wrapped around her head.
"Working people are the most beautiful. ”
"Agreed. ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, and their figures gradually disappeared into the street.
After going back, Tang Wan simply cleaned up and went to the bathhouse, while Zhang Dongming took a cold shower at home.
Afternoon.
Zhang Dongming went out to buy stools, tables, scales, calculators, and other things, and then spent 60 yuan to make a simple "mushroom harvesting" store sign, and finally replaced the locks on the door with new ones.
After a busy afternoon, it's almost time to prepare.
Next, it's time to start harvesting the mushrooms.
