Chapter 82: Occasional Exposure (End)
After the Spring Festival, it is spring, and since it is spring, it should be said that it is a bright spring.
On a bright spring morning, the second uncle pushed a brand-new 'Phoenix' women's bicycle, returned home with a smile on his face, and shouted to the second aunt to pack his luggage.
"It's finished?"
The second aunt's voice began to tremble, she is the housekeeper of the family, and naturally knows all the things, 7% of the project management fee is seventy or eighty thousand, plus the overreported steel and cement, and you can earn two or three hundred thousand, deducting all kinds of taxes and fees, and distributing it to herself and the third family is at least seven or eight!
Seventy or eighty thousand, if you don't buy Boss Wang's shares, you can make two brick houses like the fourth! No, what brick house? The money should be saved, and it will be given to the third sister and the full sister to study in the future, yes, there are also Jiaming and Wenmei. A family can produce four college students, no, not counting Jiade and Sanyan, a family should be able to produce six college students, it is really an ancestral Bodhisattva with a spirit! Well, I'm going to catch a chicken and go to the grave of my grandparents!
The wealth is not exposed, the second uncle suppressed the joy in his heart, and whispered: "Hurry up and help me pack my things, I am going to the school working shed soon, I can still borrow the student's dormitory to live in these days, and I will live in the work shed as soon as school starts." ”
"Hey", the happy second aunt hurriedly went into the room to pack her things, and almost tripped over the threshold. Entering the room, the second aunt packed up her things, and the second uncle smiled and shouted the 'red double happiness' of the army's filial piety.
Suddenly, the second aunt was stunned, her eyes were red and she cried quietly, and the second uncle's hand holding the cigarette also trembled, because the second aunt turned over the small clothes she had made before, and the two of them remembered the son on the back mountain who only had a small coffin and no tombstone.
'Hey', the second uncle, who sighed, finished smoking with his head down, and discussed in a low voice: "Shimei, why don't we listen to the eldest brother and pass the second man over?" In the future, when we have money, we are not afraid that he will not be filial. ”
"I don't want it!"
The second aunt wiped away her tears and said fiercely: "I don't want that white-eyed wolf!" Jiaming said, he will give me a spirit card, wear linen and wear filial piety, and the military also talked about it last time! It's enough for me to have two nephews with a conscience, Jiaming and Junling, don't have a conscience! ”
After speaking, the second aunt saw that the second uncle still wanted to persuade her, wiped away her tears two or three times, and scolded in a low voice: "Stupid! Why didn't the eldest brother say that he was the third step? A white-eyed wolf with no conscience and no interest is a debt collector if he wants to come! Still pumping and smoking, go and tell Chuanmeng and them, I became the second boss, and if there is a good thing, don't you take care of your own people first? The last time the police station detained you, I was lying on the bed and couldn't move, if it wasn't for the three brothers to borrow money everywhere, you would have to shed your skin if you didn't die! ”
Yes, the second uncle, who came back to his senses, immediately got up and went to find Uncle Chuanmeng and them. The project is contracted, but the five houses will be delivered before the start of the next semester, and the construction period will be completed in less than eight months. Brother Chuanmeng is working as a mason and doing odd jobs in water repair, although they can earn 20 yuan a day, but they only have something to do for 10 days a month, it is better to go to their own place to do a long-term fifteen yuan a day, and even when they rest, they have to pack food.
"Chuanmin? Is this true? ”
"Of course it's true! The contract has been signed! Brother Chuanmeng, everyone goes, fifteen yuan a day for food and lodging, and ten days for a salary; Fifteen days and one day off, no pay, no food. Also, Sister-in-law Hongying, you should also go, there are four people to cook rice on the construction site, the rice can be steamed in the canteen, and the vegetables still have to be bought and fried by ourselves. The salary is not high, only six yuan a day, and the four of you have come to the construction site, and they just happened to help us, your son, and the sisters wash their clothes. ”
Aunt Hong Ying hesitated, what about the pigs, chickens, ducks, and vegetables at home?
"Sister-in-law, you can earn six yuan a day, and you have more than 180 yuan a month, and you need food and shelter, why do you need these things?"
"It's also oh, you can make money by eating better, why do you need all this?"
Everyone was gossiping for a while, and they hurriedly went to Qingniping and Jinguyuan to invite people, so they had to take care of their own people and neighbors in advance. The small workers on the construction site are eight yuan a day, and they also have food and accommodation, and it is more than 2,000 yuan after seven or eight months, where can I find such a good thing?
Aunt Hongying and the others also hurriedly packed up their things and waited for the men to come back to deal with the chickens and ducks at home, but everyone looked at the pigs in the pigsty and were worried. Chickens and ducks are easy to do, kill them and buy them on the construction site, but it would be a pity if this shelf pig was killed.
'Hey, hey, hey', a burst of laughter came, which made the distressed Aunt Hongying's eyes light up, and she walked over and twisted Li Jiaming's head and said, "Jiaming, do you have anything to do?" It's a shame that this pig is killed! ”
"Auntie, the construction site is full of heavy physical work, more than 100 people eat, and a pig will be eaten in a few days, and the dishes are even more terrible. Why do you still go to the construction site to cook, why don't you grow vegetables, raise pigs, chickens and ducks at home? ”
"But what about six dollars a day on the construction site?"
Poor aunts, who don't even know how to settle accounts, and turn all the fields in front of the door into vegetable fields, how many vegetables can be grown in half a year? If you don't have enough of yourself, you won't go to someone else's house to collect it? The second uncle is the second boss on the construction site, can you still buy the vegetables sent by your own people?
"Think about it, the cabbage and radish are fed to the pigs if they can't be eaten, and they are sold to the construction site for two cents a pound? When they sell their own, they go to the village next door to collect them, a dime and a pound, do they sell them? As long as you add a dime, you can sell two or three hundred catties of vegetables to the second uncle a day, and you will earn everything back. And meat, eggs, you can't kill pigs, my maternal uncle will. Isn't it better for you to wrap up all the vegetables on the construction site than you can earn six dollars a day? ”
Yes, people who do physical work eat a lot, and more than 100 people eat two or three hundred catties of vegetables a day, as well as dozens of catties of meat, eggs and other meat dishes. If you pack the food on the construction site, you can earn much more than cooking, and you can take care of the chickens, ducks and pigs at home.
When the second uncle came back from Qingniping, he was even more happy when he heard Li Jiaming's method, he bought vegetables in the county town, and he paid two cents for a pound of cabbage. If it weren't for this nephew's reminder, I'm afraid that more than 100 people would have to go to the county town to buy vegetables, and there is no one in the township who specializes in growing vegetables. In these years, even teachers and village cadres grow their own vegetables, how can anyone go to the vegetable market to buy cabbage and radish?
When I heard that the cabbage in the county town could be sold for two cents a catty, the aunts were even happier, and the county town sold for two cents, then Chongxiang could sell it for two cents and five cents, and one dime and one pound could be sold for two cents and five pounds, which was double the earnings. However, Li Jiaming also kindly reminded them that vegetables will be dehydrated, and if a hundred catties of vegetables are placed for a few hours, they will definitely lose a few catties.
"Stupid, won't you splash more water on it before sending it over?"
was scolded by Aunt Hongying, Li Jiaming also closed his mouth with interest, aunts all have the potential to be profiteers, anyway, the money they earn is also on the construction site, what does it matter to themselves? If you really want to talk about it, the workers have to thank the aunts, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to eat such cheap food. Buying vegetables from the county town, plus freight and labor, three yuan a day for food, if they don't buy vegetables from their aunts, they will only suffer more.
Aunt Hongying and the second aunt discussed happily, and they all forgot about the eldest aunt, and Li Jiaming also forgot selectively. The partnership business should not be too careful, if there is a smart person in the middle, the business will be noisy.
At noon, the uncle who heard the news rushed over, and when he heard Aunt Hongying's arrangement, he was so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut. In the business of killing pigs, as long as you don't worry about the sales of meat, it is really profitable, and it is easy to earn thirty or forty yuan by killing a pig.
It's a pity that this business can only be done for a few months, otherwise, it will really be the same as getting a salary, and it is a frightening high salary!
"Mother, uncle, aunt, they can only do it for a few months, you can do it for a long time!"
Well? Several adults looked at Li Jiaming suspiciously, killing pigs in the countryside is not an easy task, everyone is tight, how many are willing to buy meat to eat? If you let people take credit, it will really be the year of the monkey to get cash.
Li Jiaming smiled, laughed until his uncle began to make a straight face, and then reminded: "Go to the countryside to kill, the food station (a product of the planned economy era, a department specially responsible for the purchase and slaughter of live pigs and the sale of pork, under the dual management of the township and the material bureau) was restructured at the end of last year, that is, private individuals can kill pigs and buy them." As for the butchers at the food station, I don't know how many people I offended before, if you go to the countryside to sell meat, those cadres and teachers will go to them to buy meat? ”
"How can it be that easy?"
The uncle sighed in disappointment, killing pigs and selling them in the vegetable market in the township, and he had to apply for various documents, and the most difficult thing to get was the pig slaughtering license. Now although the food station has been restructured, their former superior unit, the county supply and marketing cooperative, will be so willing to give the butchers a certificate.
"Xuequan's grandfather is the deputy secretary of the township, so he can't help with this?"
Uncle secretly smiled bitterly, the third-in-command of the township government is an ornament, how can there be any real power? But it doesn't matter, it's not bad to be able to earn money for a few months, it's better than farming at home.
The adults were happy, and Li Jiaming was also happy, and he went to the valley to ride a new bicycle to play with great interest. Erbo's permanent load bicycle is too high, and he can only ride a tripod (the child is too short, so he can only put one foot into the tripod and ride on another pedal), or Boss Wang is a particular and careful person, and knows to buy this small and exquisite women's bicycle for himself.
This car is good, this saddle bag is put to the lowest, you can ride it yourself, and when you go to school in the future, you don't have to walk or take the bus, and you can take your little sister in the back. The second sister can ride the second uncle's car, Mao Yan can ride Uncle Chuanzong's car and can also take people, and then go to borrow Uncle Chuanmeng's old bicycle for the third sister to ride, and the problem of everyone going to school will be solved in the future.
It's a pity that the third sister finished practicing speaking, and when she saw Li Jiaming's new car, she brutally snatched it.
"You ride a women's bike, aren't you embarrassed? In the future, the second sister will take you and Sister Man, and I will take Sister Wen. ”
"Third sister, this was given to me by someone else!"
"I didn't say I wanted you, it's very tiring to ride, the third sister is considerate of you, and you are tired of your baby brother!"
Li Jiaming watched the triumphant third sister ride away on a beautiful new bicycle, and sighed regretfully, this car will have nothing to do with him for two and a half years in the future.
Just when Li Jiaming was regretting, the liveliness of several families finally attracted the big man and the second guy, who stood at the door of the hall and stared at him, and the big guy suddenly scolded and said: "The white-eyed wolf with no conscience!" ”
A white-eyed wolf with no conscience reminded Li Jiaming of the 'little broom star' that these two bastards made fun of his sister, and the fire that couldn't be suppressed jumped to his head. I used to give you tea money, but my father had an explanation, and I really thought that Lao Tzu was afraid of you? Li Jiaming immediately touched a stone from the ground that pressed the dustpan (a bamboo utensil for drying grain), pointed at his nose and said, "Who are you scolding?" ”
The aunt heard the movement outside, ran out of the kitchen, and saw that Li Jiaming was already holding a stone in his hand, knowing that the little nephew was angry but could do anything, so she hurriedly stopped between the two. But Da Yan pulled his mother behind him, still scolding, "What's wrong? Am I scolding wrong? The fourth tutor you, if you have a good thing, you will leave my family behind, what are you not a white-eyed wolf? ”
"You want to die, don't you?
Li Jiaming, who was angry, walked forward with the stone, but the second man next to him said quietly: "My eldest brother said something wrong? The second uncle can be the second boss, how did that come about? ”
There is no need for a heavy hammer to ring the drum, Li Jiaming's face suddenly turned red, and his eyes were burning when he stared at the mud wall in front of him, how could these two stupid people think of this? Isn't it the lame uncle who is behind him?
With a 'bang', Li Jiaming smashed the stone in his hand into the yellow mud wall of the ravine, nodded his finger at the eldest and second men who mocked him, and said with a red face: "Auntie, I am wrong about this, I will help you ask for a benefit!" Don't be complacent, you two will me off and kill you one day! ”
The stone smashed on the wall and the loess splashed, and the sound of falling to the ground scared the aunt, and when Li Jiaming walked away, he said with a tiger face: "Big guy, second guy, don't mess with him in the future, Jiaming's guy is not something you can afford to provoke!" ”
The second boy, who was more stable than the big guy, snorted, laughed, and whispered: "Mom, don't worry." Ming Yanqiang, this kind of person doesn't like to owe favors, as long as he pinched him, he can rub as much as he wants. ”
Da Yan also laughed and said, "Mom, do you think we are stupid? Hehe, this guy is fighting and not dying, why do we have nothing to provoke him? Tsk tsk, the second uncle is a lackey/luck this time, that Boss Wang actually listens to this kind of hairy man! ”
"What's going on?"
Nothing, what's going on? Paper can't contain the fire, Wu Jianguo came to buy honey, his driver sent Li Jiaming food, Principal Liu lived in Li Jiaming, Boss Wang went to the door, and finally the second uncle suddenly became the second boss.
When the skirmish outside was over, the uncle who stayed in the room came out with a limp, looked at Li Jiaming's back in the distance, and then looked at the triumphant eldest son and second son, and then sighed secretly. Hey, people are more angry than people; Compare the goods, you have to throw it! If it weren't for family morality and family morality, his life (life) would be really worthless.
Just when the uncle lamented that his son was not as good as others, Li Jiaming also went to discuss with the second aunt that the partnership business could not be done, but the aunt's vegetables still had to be bought, and they had to be bought at the selling price, and they had to give her 1/5 of the share.
"How is this possible?"
Before the second aunt could speak, the straight Aunt Hong Ying refused bluntly, and Li Jiaming frowned slightly. The second aunt was not as shallow as Aunt Hongying, and when she saw her nephew frowning, she hurriedly whispered: "Jiaming, what's wrong?" ”
Li Jiaming sighed and said with a wry smile: "Second aunt, the eldest aunt is the mother of the fourth brother and the third brother. ”
As soon as Li Jiaming said this, Aunt Hongying, who was still against it, was silent, and the second aunt nodded again and again: "Jiaming, you go and tell your sister-in-law that 1/5 of the vegetables on the construction site will be bought from her, and you want her to remember your favor." ”
