The Chinese New Year is over, the vast mountains sound crackling firecrackers from time to time, and bicycles and motorcycles come and go on the highways where pedestrians are usually hard to see.

The various houses dotted in the mountains are also very lively, the relatives who come to walk around come, the relatives who have finished walking around say goodbye, the main family keeps the relatives to eat, the relatives refuse to drive the next family, everyone is smiling, saying auspicious words.

Thanks to the economic development of this era, even the poorest families have bicycles, and those with better family backgrounds have motorcycles. The rest is to eat the New Year's dinner, the house of the house in turn, the next house can not be missed, the nearby relatives can not be less, everyone has to make an appointment to come!

When it is time to eat the New Year's dinner, it is also the busiest or most idle time for the people in the mountains. The people who invite the meal are so busy that they can't stop eating, and if there are few women in the family, they have to ask their concubines and nieces to help, and they are only responsible for eating everything that comes to eat. Of course, this is also the time when the mountain people play cards and make money the most.

Li Xiaolan and Da Mao Ling are engaged, and even the date of passing through the door has been set, so naturally she will have to run on both sides of her husband's house and her mother's house during the New Year. Even with Li Jiaming, these servants and sisters have to go to Youyuan to have a New Year's dinner, instead of adults coming to eat the New Year's dinner like in previous years, and after eating at Da Mao's house, they have to go to his uncle's house to eat.

"Brother Jiaming"

"Brother Jiaming"

"Brother Jiaming"

In the past, Li Jiaming and the others came to pay New Year's greetings, and the sons who got together to tie up the golden flowers would call together with Li Jiade. But this year's men are only called Li Jiaming, and they all stand up from the card table and call out, even Hong Yan, who is bigger than Li Jiaming, is like this, and the adults who are playing money at different tables in the same room, and the high-spirited Li Jiaren brothers were stunned.

Li Jiaming, who followed his cousins into the house, smiled, and glanced at the money on the table, most of them were two yuan a piece, and even five yuan were very few.

Well, Mao Ling is Mao Ling, and he can control his brothers.

If you celebrate the New Year, you should have fun, Li Jiaming didn't want to disturb everyone's fun, so he casually pointed to the eight guys who were joining in the fun at the table, and this kid nicknamed the snot ghost immediately ran over.

"Brother Jiaming. ”

"Where's Mao?"

"The sixth brother went to Baishatan for lunch, are you looking for him?"

"Well, you tell him, and when I come back from lunch, I'll take him to the street to pay New Year's greetings. ”

"Hey".

This time, Ba Yan collected more than 2,800 catties of winter bamboo shoots with Mao Tong, Xiao Gou, and He, in addition to earning five or six hundred yuan in hard work, he also got a bonus of five hundred yuan, and he was one of the people who got the most money in this gang of people, but he didn't play with money like his cousins, but sat next to watch the excitement. He is a little follower of the fine dog, and he naturally learns from the boss everywhere, studies seriously and does not gamble, and he should be able to have a little interest in the future.

As soon as the eight men heard the boss's command, they hurriedly went to push the bicycle, and Li Jiaming also signaled the gang to continue playing. The children and grandchildren of their Li family have family rules that they can't gamble, so they naturally don't participate in such small gambling activities.

There are many uncles and uncles in the Da Mao family, and the Li family must have eaten lunch and dinner after the New Year's dinner, but after lunch, the Li Jiaming brothers were ready to leave. They are all students of Teacher Luo Fang Zhang, and they used to be poor in the house and couldn't afford to make gifts, so they were embarrassed to come to the door empty-handed to pay New Year's greetings. Now that they are rich, Li Jiaren and Li Jiayi have been admitted to the university again, and they have to go to the teacher to pay New Year's greetings. Of course, the big dog who is an enemy of the teacher, this kind of thing has always been how far and how far it goes.

Mao Ling, who had just returned from the nearby Baisha Tan house, didn't ask Li Jiaming what he was taking him for, said hello to his parents, and borrowed a motorcycle from his cousin and followed Mao Yan's motorcycle. I don't ride my own brother's, I don't ride my big dog's new car, but I went to my cousin to borrow an old car, and the good-faced Li Xiaolan's face turned dark, but she was helpless to take this little uncle.

Four men's motorcycles of different old and new speeds, stopped at the door of the Public Security Bureau first, and Li Jiaming, who was full of smiles, threw the denim bag to Mao Ling, took out two 'Hibiscus King' and put them under his armpit, and took him in to find the two leaders of Gao and Xu to pay New Year's greetings. This is also a kind of life skill, giving cigarettes to the leader openly, and in the name of his son and nephew, the police officers in the sub-bureau will respect themselves for three points, and Mao Ling will be able to follow a lot of light in the future.

"Officer Xu, Officer Mao...... , Happy New Year, I wish you all the best and no fortune, is your boss here?"

"Jiaming, it's too much? Give good cigarettes to the leader, don't show us? Don't think we don't know, you made a lot of money selling bamboo shoots last year, right?"

"You can't blame me, I went to participate in the competition, Uncle Gao and Uncle Xu gave tea money, and I didn't see you give a little red envelope?"

"Fuck off, you don't call us uncles, and you still want tea money?"

Jiaming began to pave the way for himself!

The master is really right, if you want others to help you, you have to let people know that you are worth helping. Mao Yan, who had a premonition, was grateful, and hurriedly took out a 'Hibiscus King' cigarette from his denim bag and opened it, accompanied the laughing people to send a box, and stuffed the rest to Officer Xu, leaning on the hawker and said: "Uncle Xu is good, Uncle Mao is good...... , a little bit of a little embarrassment, I'm really embarrassed. Don't listen to Jia Ming's nonsense, I've already prepared it for your uncles. ”

"It's pretty much the same", the few police officers who got the wrapped cigarettes gave up, and Officer Xu, who had a good relationship with Li Jiaming, casually threw the remaining half of the cigarette into the duty room and led them upstairs to find the leader.

Political Commissar Xu is not there, it is estimated that he went to the leader to pay New Year's greetings after his shift, and it is the turn of Gao Bin, who should have paid New Year's greetings to his boss, to lead the class.

Li Jiaming first said auspicious words when he entered the door, and then said angrily: "Uncle Gao, I made a little money selling bamboo shoots last year, and I salute your old man and Uncle Xu." Oh, this is my cousin Wang Fusheng, the elder brother of Wang Guisheng who runs a repair shop, and my cousin's brother-in-law. This bastard has shit all over his head, and he doesn't want to read. In the future, if he doesn't know the severity of the trouble, he will teach me a good lesson!"

This guy is good, he has the potential and understands the etiquette of people, Gao Bin, who is smiling, picked up a fresh longan that is rare in the mountains from the coffee table, smashed it at his head, and scolded with a smile: "Yo, you yourself are a troublemaker, and you still say that others are stupid?"

"Hey, I know how to sprinkle heavily".

Li Jiaming, who was smiling, caught the longan peel and threw it into his mouth, put the two cigarettes in his hand on the coffee table, and exclaimed: "A leader is a leader, even longan can get it." The people who come to you for New Year's greetings are all here to pat your ass, and you don't need such a good fruit to give my grandma it."

After speaking, Li Jiaming picked one from the bundle of longan that was tied up and gave it to Mao Ling, who was smoking cigarettes, and put the whole bundle in his denim bag, and Mao Ling and Xu Licheng, who was making tea next to him, were stunned.

A man who is promising, and understands the world, everyone will like it. Gao Bin, who was full of meat, glanced at it and saw that in addition to the two 'Hibiscus King' in the denim bag, the rest were 'Baisha' cigarettes, 'Baisha King' cigarettes and milk powder and the like. It is estimated that the 'Furong King' is ready to be given to Zhang Weimin's brothers, and the rest are gifts from relatives, and he is even more satisfied with this man's respect for himself.

"Jiaming, how much money did you make last year, and you were so generous?"

Last year, a group of people collected bamboo shoots all over the township, how could they hide from this sitting tiger? "Hehe", Li Jiaming stretched out a finger and shook it, and said nonsense: "Fusheng, this cowhide ghost, told me how good the price of Yangcheng winter bamboo shoots is, but as a result, two carts were dragged over, and the price fell early." If I hadn't kept an eye on it, I would have asked Sister Tingting to help me contact the buyer, and I almost killed him! ”

"That's right, 10,000 is too little, Lao Tzu's salary is less than 600!"

"Uncle Gao, this is incomparable, if our goods arrive three days late, we will lose money! How good your job is, with high salary, good treatment, and stability, and the state will help you reimburse your medical expenses. ”

Doing business is not a matter of making or losing, and this kind of business can only be done by people who have acquaintances over there. Change to someone who has no way, if the goods are still halfway there, the price over there will fall to a mess. Gao Bin, who was very satisfied with this kid's honesty, got up and moved a cardboard box from the next room, which contained more than half a box of fresh longan, which was probably sent by someone who asked for him.

"Well, the old man has eaten this thing, I still have it, and I'll give it all to you. ”

"Thank you, Uncle Gao"

"Come, get a red envelope, and study hard. When the time comes, I will take the Tsinghua University and Peking University exams, and I will also give Uncle Gao a boost in face, do you know?"

"Hey, you're going to wrap a big red envelope!"

Several people laughed for a while, and when Gao Bin had a preliminary understanding of Mao Ling, Li Jiaming took a denim bag on his back and said goodbye with Mao Ling, who was carrying a cardboard box. When he went to the room on the street, he put half a box of longan, and Li Jiaming took the remaining two 'Furong King' cigarettes, and took Mao Ling, Mao Yan, and the fine dog to pay New Year's greetings to Zhang Weimin's brothers. When I arrived at the door of the township government, I inquired about the head of the township and took the 'Furong King' from the small grocery store at the door.

If you want to make a living on the street, in addition to using the public security as a protective umbrella, you must also have contacts in all aspects, especially with officials and businessmen. Some inconvenient things for officials to come forward must be settled, and businessmen will have financial disputes, which is the basis for the survival of people like Mao Yan.

From Brother Zhang Weimin, Township Chief Sun to Director Xu of the credit cooperative, the head of industry and commerce, and taxation, Li Jiaming took Mao Tong and Mao Ling to worship a circle, sent out three 'Furong Wang' and four or five 'Baisha Wang' cigarettes, received seven or eight red envelopes, stood in his own corridor, and whispered to Mao Yan for the last lesson.

When gangsters want to get out of the way, they can't get on the stage just by bullying the weak and bullying men and women, and it will also cause social indignation. If you meet a strongman, those people will be birds who will either go to prison or give them to the armed police to practice marksmanship.

This is not a conversation between relatives and Fa Xiao, Mao Ling, who has learned to understand the rules in the martial arts school, bowed down, suppressed the excitement and excitement in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "I know."

Yes, he is worthy of being born with a bad embryo, and he is also worthy of being a bastard who could be a gangster in his previous life. At the age of eighteen or nineteen, people are still stupidly talking about the righteousness of his buddies, and he is thinking about how to get ahead. What is rare is that he still has a calmness hidden under the roughness, no wonder this kid was able to get ahead quickly in his previous life, I hope he can go further and better.

"Okay, you can go back by yourself first, and we're going to pay New Year's greetings to the teacher later. ”

"Hey"

Mao Ling, who was full of joy, bowed respectfully to this cousin, Fa Xiao, sworn friend, and boss according to the rules she learned from her master. He understands what Li Jiaming said, and he has also heard what his master said, which is all good words in the mixed society.
