Chapter 44: Gift-giving
"Well, I've brought her here to talk about it, and she definitely doesn't mix it with your affairs, just take a look and leave, no problem, right?" Hong Tao habitually touched his pocket, originally wanted to take out a cigarette, but only after touching the emptiness did he remember that he was not yet old enough to smoke.
"Just look at it, who will care about the two of you, what's so good about this!" The short head took the plastic liter handed over by the fat woman, poured himself a glass, and then looked at Hong Tao.
"Hey...... Give me some too, have a drink......" Hong Tao quickly grabbed a cup for himself and leaned over.
"It's not a good thing for you kid to grow up, how old is this, you know that you come out to drink beer, this is your own sister?" The short head poured a glass for Hong Tao, then pointed to Jin Yue and asked again, it seemed that she was very suspicious of the huge contrast between Hong Tao and Jin Yue in appearance.
"It's my neighbor, younger than me, come, I wish the two of you more beautiful and beautiful as you go, touch one!" Hong Tao didn't make up nonsense, the difference between his and Jin Yue's appearance is indeed too big, this kind of nonsense is not easy to make up.
"Damn, I know how to pat my mother-in-law at such a young age, you are my master!" the short-headed mother-in-law scolded and touched the cup with Hong Tao.
"Oops...... It's not too cold, it would be nice if it was cooler......" Hong Tao raised his head and took a big sip, clicked his lips, and felt that the taste was very good, at least it was not worse than the beer of later generations, but the temperature was not so cold.
"Brother Xiaotao, what are you drinking?" Jin Yue had been burying her head in dealing with her creamy fruit, putting it in her mouth little by little with a spoon, and when she saw Hong Tao drinking, she immediately became hungry again.
"You can't drink this, when you grow to my height, you can drink it!" Hong Tao pressed Jin Yue's head back again.
At this moment there was a sudden noise on the stairs, and a group of young men in blue-and-green military trousers came up from below, and while greeting the people sitting upstairs, they walked in a crowd of people until they reached the two empty tables, and then sat on one of them. Several of the lads had a blouse in their hands, and if you look closely, they held the blouse in a strange way, always grabbing the collar of the garment and letting it hang down naturally.
At this moment, another group of people dressed in similar clothes came up, and also greeted the people upstairs, and then also went to the innermost and sat on the other side of the two tables, face to face with the previous group, as if they were engaged in business negotiations, and among them, there were also a few people with collars of their jackets.
"Sisters, they won't do it here, will they?!" Hong Tao knew very well what was in those clothes, judging from the shape, it was a slender thing nearly a meter long, this thing was definitely not a stick, nor a knife, it was a very vicious and easy-to-carry weapon, a fork!
The pipe fork is a device that is more common in Beijing in the 6th, 7th, and 8o years, and it is about the thickness of a thumb, ranging from tens of centimeters to nearly a meter in length. The way it is made is very simple, you only need to polish one end of a steel pipe into an inclined plane, like an enlarged needle, so that a tip naturally appears.
There is only one way to use this thing, which is to pierce it, and when it is pierced into the body, blood will spurt out of the tube, destroying the pressure inside the human body, and it will also allow air to enter the body. Since it is hollow, it will not be caught by the muscles of the human body, and it can be easily pulled out after piercing. In those years, many people died under such murder weapons.
In the past, there was a 212 jeep in Beijing, and there was a flagpole on the front face of the car, which was made of steel pipes, and the tail gradually thickened to form a spiral. This thing has become the best raw material for making zuò pipe forks, with the right thickness, a makeshift steel mouth, and a ready-made grip at the tail. So on the front face of the 212 at that time, you can always see the traces of the flagpole being broken, which is a meaning of the Mercedes-Benz in the 9O era losing the logo.
"What's the matter, do you know you're scared now? For the sake of you inviting us and beer, I won't scare you, there won't be a fight here, isn't this a proper place, do you have the guts? When they discuss the place, my sister will take you to see the fight!"
"Forget it, I still don't look at it, and I don't have any money, so there's just a few steel left. You two drink slowly, my sister and I will go home first, and I will come to play with you when my hair grows. Hong Tao knew that these two mothers-in-law were calculating the little money in his pocket, and they couldn't rob it, they could only cheat. He simply turned his pocket out to show them, let them die of this heart, and then took out a handkerchief from Jin Yue's pocket, wiped off the cream on her face, and pulled Jin Yue downstairs.
"Hahahahaha, the little kid is quite funny! When you grow up, I'll be an old lady." The short-headed mother-in-law amused Hong Tao, an adult, and laughed unscrupulously, and the entire second floor looked at her alone, and she didn't care.
"Brother Xiaotao, let's come back tomorrow, that cream is much better than a popsicle. Jin Yue seemed to have eaten well, and when she walked to the bus station, she was still looking back at the second floor step by step, for fear of forgetting the taste of the food.
"I can't afford to raise you anymore, after I go home, I am not allowed to tell your father about eating cream, and I am not allowed to say that we are here, just say that I took you to play in the Beixinqiao shopping mall, do you hear?"
"I've got a piece of fruit for you to eat!" Jin Yue pulled out a piece of pineapple from his pocket, which was still stained with some slimy cream.
"Next time, don't put anything to eat in your pocket, your clothes are dirty, you can eat it. Hong Tao could only take out her handkerchief again and wipe her pockets clean, Jin Yue was already relatively clean among children of the same age under his influence, but this problem of hiding delicious things in his pocket has not been changed, and it is all greedy.
After 2 days, the aunt secretly ran to the grandmother's house again, and sent a bunch of parts to Hong Tao, this time the parts are more miscellaneous, there are flying pigeons, permanent, phoenix, and parts of Guangzhou Wuyang brand bicycles, it seems that the aunt has been running bicycle shops for the past 2 days, and the bottom of the old library has been turned out, and the inner tubes of the 26 and 28 cars alone are 12.
"These are not genuine, each is cheaper than 1 yuan, I have all received it, anyway, we have to use it in the future, in addition, I talked to the Xizhimen bicycle shop in charge of the warehouse, his family lives in Gaoliang Bridge, I promised to install a soil heater for his home, he will help me keep an eye on it in the future, as long as there are new parts in the warehouse, he will call me." The eldest aunt, Hong Tao, explained why he bought so many inner tubes at one time, and reported to Hong Tao about his achievements in the past two days, in his eyes, Hong Tao is no longer a child, but a business partner with him.
"Or you have a big ability, tomorrow morning you come to pick up the car, you can almost make up 3 cars, but the parts are not a brand, so it doesn't matter to you, right? Hong Tao probably counted the parts, and the eldest aunt reported a number, in fact, he was 100% sure that the eldest aunt must have a small ledger, on which he even remembered a screw very clearly. He was really born in the wrong era, if he was born 2o years later, he was definitely a good hand when he just went to the sea to do business, he could take care of both face and lining, and he was very sleek.
"Hey, why do you still know so well with me, my uncle won't deduct money from you, last time you gave the earthen heater to your uncle, I know in my heart, I'm also a craftsman, I know the severity. And it doesn't matter whether it's a unified part at all, now people waiting to buy a car are almost every day to go to our house to squat, I didn't dare to make a noise in the unit, only sold to our brother-in-law, just we know a few people who work in the woolen mill is enough for us to sell for a year, their factory is in Qinghe, there are no bicycles just by squeezing public cars, a month late will have to deduct them a few dollars, you can rest assured, my uncle's side can't lose, and it's insured, not an honest person who knows the roots, I don't have this stubble with him at all。 "It seems that the eldest aunt has already thought of the way back, according to what he said, there is really no trouble, and the market is not worried, just Qinghe Woolen Mill has to have thousands of workers, many of them are young people who have just joined the work, they can make up the money, but there is definitely no place to find a bicycle ticket, so it is not important to them how many dollars are expensive, the brand is not a brand, the important thing is to be able to buy.
Seeing that his aunt was so good and had enough ability and brain, Hong Tao was relieved. In fact, if you think about it carefully, there is nothing to worry about, the aunt's family has 5 children, if something happens to him, the family will be finished, so he must think more than himself, if he is not sure, he will definitely not follow himself such a little child to fool around, once something happens, he will at most find some trouble for his parents, and he can't even send a work-study school, he is too young.
With a solid heart, Hong Tao was careless, drove full horsepower, except for the time for dinner, he didn't dare to waste a moment, he was stuffy in his grandfather's house for several hours, and with the help of his grandfather, he saved all 3 bicycles. Then he kept one for himself, and let the eldest aunt take the second and third children of his family, that is, Hong Tao's two cousins, and rode away early the next morning, with more than 1oo yuan in his pocket.
As usual, Hong Tao pressed all the 1o pieces of 1o under his grandfather's mattress, and then put a few yuan of change in his pocket. The car he left behind was intended to be sold by his grandfather to the scrap acquisition station station Director Liu, and the cost and profit of the parts will be calculated clearly next time the aunt comes, Hong Tao did not plan to make money on this car, after all, there is still a place to rely on him in the future, and he has to give up what he should give, and he can't make a big profit if he doesn't suffer a small loss.
