Chapter 42: The First Pot of Gold
"Xiao Tao, you and your aunt-in-law have made these twists and turns Grandpa also knows, why do you want so much money? Lack of money to spend to ask grandpa, or ask your father, isn't he raising his salary now, just a child like you, can you still lose your mouth?" The old man was not confused at all, he knew that Hong Tao was equivalent to selling the saved bicycle to his eldest son-in-law, and there was a lot of money in the middle, and this money eventually fell into Hong Tao's own hands.
"Grandpa, this is why you asked me, I told you, others asked me, including my father, I don't tell him, I think, this world is going to change. Hong Tao thought about it and felt that he should convince his grandfather that there was no harm in this way, the old man really loved himself, as long as he didn't commit adultery, he could tolerate it.
"How is the world going to change?" Grandpa didn't find it strange at all that he was talking about national affairs with his grandson.
"Look, the Gang of Four has fallen, and what they used to support must be changed now, and those capitalist tails may not need to be cut, and they will have to grow again. My eldest brother-in-law has been taking some eggs, meat, peanuts and so on here for a few months, and where did he get them? It's not that there are already people selling these things on their own side of the house, but there are still fewer people in our city to sell them. But it won't be long before everyone's courage will be emboldened, and there will be one in the city, do you know what that means?" Hong Tao walked to the door and slammed the door shut.
"What does it mean? In the future, we will be like your aunt's family, there will be people selling things in the streets and alleys?" the old man let his imagination go, and he could only think of this, this is the limitation of the times, and it has nothing to do with age and experience.
"This means that the state's policy will change! In the past, private individuals were not allowed to do business, but now they may have to be allowed. Hong Tao pointed to the roof.
"What does that have to do with you, you also want to do business? That's not possible! You can't do the work of walking the streets and alleys, that thing is called diligence, it was there in the early years, and you can't stand it, and besides, your father can agree? How old are you!" The old man directly opposed Hong Tao's mention for the first time.
"Hey, it's not me, even if you want to do it, you have to wait for 18 ah, or you will become a child laborer! I mean my aunt, my aunt, your class must have been left to my brother-in-law to take over, then my aunt has to wait for the street to arrange a job, what kind of good work can the street arrange? Isn't I teaching my aunt to cut clothes now, I want my aunt to open a tailor shop when the time comes, the wind can't blow or the sun shine, and I'm sure that the money you earn every month can cover what you earn in a year, do you believe it?" Hong Tao feels like a missionary now, obsessively instilling in his father and grandfather ideas that do not belong to this era, and trying his best to influence their brains and let them follow him.
"Will the state agree?" Grandpa didn't quite believe it.
"There is definitely no such policy now, but I think it's going to be soon, I read the newspaper a few days ago that SH and Guangzhou already have private restaurants, BJ is the capital, it must be slower, I estimate that in another year or two, maybe it will be fine." If there is really this day, I want to save some money for my aunt, but when it comes to renting a house, you have to pay money to buy fabrics, and you have to ask for money to buy a sewing machine, anyway, there is nothing wrong with having more money, I won't spend money indiscriminately, don't worry, I will keep this money and use it in the future, don't tell my dad!" Hong Tao lifted his aunt out as a shield, but what he said was not all nonsense, he had been thinking about letting his aunt open a shop for a long time.
"The affairs of the country, who said it clearly, no matter about him, grandpa will believe you again, you can think of your aunt, even if grandpa didn't hurt you in vain, alas...... It's not that I don't feel sorry for your aunt, but I only have one succession place, and I have to leave it to your little uncle, or he has no job, how can he marry a daughter-in-law and start a family!" Grandpa picked up Hong Tao, put it on his lap, touched his head, and talked about his difficulties.
"Don't worry, with me, our family will slowly get better, and when I grow up, I will let you take a big plane to a foreign country to play." "Hong Tao's grandfather died early in his later life, he died of emphysema in 95, at that time Hong Tao had just graduated from college, and he couldn't take care of it, and he didn't honor the old man for a day.
"Hey! Grandpa is waiting for that day! Grandpa's unit, there are often big planes in the sky, and the rumbling and rumbling are the same as thunder. "Grandpa's unit is not far from BJ Airport, speaking of airplanes, the old man has seen the real in the sky from afar, and there are few BJ people in this era who have really seen airplanes, let alone sit on them.
Hong Tao's father and aunt-in-law ran back at 3 o'clock, and everyone's bicycle was full of things, hanging on the handlebars, carrying them on the girders, and carrying them on the back rack, tied up, like two hedgehogs. The two of them were lucky, there were only 4 sets of bicycle racks that came in the store in the morning, and it turned out that they were both round, and all the other accessories were complete.
When the salesperson asked why they bought so much, the aunt-in-law directly took out a letter of introduction from the unit, saying that the housing management union was going to set up a small car repair shop to repair bicycles for employees. The aunt's lie is too round, and there are formal procedures, which not only makes the salesperson not suspicious at all, but also finds a good excuse for continuing to buy parts in large quantities in the future.
Hong Tao stacked all the parts in his grandfather's house first, and then began to assemble them together, his father and aunt-in-law were blown away by his grandfather, and the old man personally helped his grandson. According to the tradition of his generation, when the master is doing the delicate work, the apprentice cannot watch from the sidelines, and if the apprentice learns all the skills so quickly, then the master will wait to drink the northwest wind.
The new parts are assembled, much happier than the old parts, these parts are purchased from sh, TJ's bicycle factory, most of the accessories for flying pigeons, and some permanent parts, anyway, they are all standard parts, except for the different beams, they can be universal. Hong Tao was busy until more than 7 o'clock in the evening, and finally saved two bicycles, a 100% flying pigeon 28 men's car, and a flying pigeon and permanent mixed race 26 women's car. The other two frames and a small number of accessories for the Flying Pigeon 28 men's car, which were bought by the eldest aunt, mainly to confuse the salesperson in the store, you can't always buy accessories for 2 cars along the line, that is too obvious.
Mom, Hong Tao must not be able to earn a penny in this car, and the manual fee is also in vain, but the uncle's flying pigeon is different, the aunt spent a total of more than 14o yuan to buy accessories, and cut off those extra parts, this flying pigeon car He only spent more than 8o yuan, and he also had to make up for the difference of more than 5o yuan for Hong Tao. This more than 5o yuan is Hong Tao's profit, as for how much money the aunt will sell this car again, Hong Tao doesn't care, the aunt has the potential to be a profiteer, and he will definitely not suffer in this matter.
Early the next morning, the eldest aunt came and waited for Hong Tao at his grandmother's house for a long time, only to see Hong Tao swaying over, and then picked up the key hanging on his neck and opened the door of his grandfather's house.
"No problem, this is a new car! Xiao Tao didn't say anything about this craft! Give, this is 53 yuan 28, it is the money for this car, and we will calculate the rest when we save it." Xiao Tao, your aunt can't wait to snatch you to my house to be my son, you have earned a month's salary of a level 4 worker in the past few hours, do you know?" When the aunt-in-law saw the bicycle that still smelled of engine oil, his expression was wonderful, although he already knew the final result yesterday, but imagination and real things are not yet the same concept.
"Hehe, then you have to test your aunt, how tired you are, if I am alone, I can't finish this job. It's up to you to do as many parts as I want, but you have to take it easy, don't buy too many parts in one store, in case you are targeted, although we are not breaking the law, but there is a lot of trouble, don't you say?" Hong Tao twisted the few big tickets of 1o yuan in his hand, and felt this kind of feeling that had been separated for decades, and finally had confidence in his heart, but he didn't forget to tell his aunt, don't play too much.
"Don't worry, I've already told the director, the unit does want to get a convenient station for employees to repair cars, by your brother-in-law and I am responsible, I opened 2 more letters of introduction, after a while I sent the car, I went to Xizhimen and Xisi's bicycle shop, with a letter of introduction to help the unit purchase parts. Okay, I'm leaving! I'll ride a new car too!" The eldest aunt patted Hong Tao's head, took out two pieces of paper with a big red seal from his jacket pocket, shook it at Hong Tao, and then pushed the new car to leave.
"Hey...... Wait a minute...... Uncle, ticket! You have to put together a set of tickets for these parts, and then you can take them to the management office to put on the sign, don't forget, you can't lose one!" Hong Tao hurriedly grabbed the bicycle, and there is another key problem to explain to the eldest uncle, don't sell the car to others and not give the ticket, in case the police show up, this thing will not be clear.
"I've got it all right, I went home last night, and I took it out and put it in the envelope, you can rest assured!" The aunt patted his jacket pocket again, indicating that he had thought about it.
"Gotcha, you go slowly, don't ride too fast!" Hong Tao relieved himself.
"Alas, it's easy to make money! It's the same as being a thief!" When the eldest aunt pushed the cart out of the courtyard gate, Hong Tao returned to the house, took out the five large tickets from his small pocket, and put them under his nose to smell them, then took out five of them, stuffed them under his grandfather's mattress, and put the rest of the change in his pocket. Yesterday, he had already agreed with his grandfather that the money would be put here to help him save it, on the one hand, to reassure his grandfather, and on the other hand, he really had no place to put so much money.
