25. You're in early love
Chapter 25:
Although there are not many people who can afford to buy walk-behind tractors at this time, there are basically one or two diesel tractors or tricycles in every village, and some large areas of land depend on them to cultivate.
coincided with the autumn sowing period, and hundreds of drivers from large and small villages in Nanshan Town came to buy oil at this time, as if they had said yes.
This may also be the main reason why Zhang's father finished the gas early today and still didn't leave.
A car can take a few people casually, even if each person only charges five cents for the journey, this trip is not in vain.
So when the two brothers arrived, the tractors of all sizes parked near the diesel station were already overcrowded.
Even on the walk-behind tractor of Zhang Jin's family, there were already six or seven people seated.
The boss Zhang Junbao is holding a steamed bun with pickles in one hand and a noodle bowl in the noodle shop next to him in the other, eating and laughing with acquaintances.
Zhang's father sat directly on the front of the car and ate noodles with his head down.
Seeing this, Zhang Wenhao's eyes were red, obviously his father and eldest brother just said that they had no money to eat noodles, why did they eat them as soon as he left?
However, without waiting for Zhang Wenhao to speak, Zhang Junbao took the preemptive action: "Don't be blushing, this is my taxi money, I don't believe you have any money left to go home." "Meaning, I took out the fare to go home to buy noodles, and if you want to eat, you can use yours.
"Nope." Zhang Wenhao is right.
Zhang Junbao glanced at him with disdain, and then said, "You don't have it, the second child must have." I just changed the car money to two bowls of noodles, and my father and I have one bowl each, and you and the second child can make do with it. β
Zhang Jin felt that he was inexplicably pitted, but when he saw that the boss's bowl was full of noodle soup, and his father's bowl was obviously a two-sided bowl, he knew that the boss gave the noodles to his father, and he couldn't get angry, and took out a ham bread from his backpack and handed it to Zhang's father.
"Dad, you taste it."
"Buy the weird ones again." Dad Zhang said that he had already opened the package in his hand and took a big bite before he continued with displeasure, "This thing is not expensive?" β
"One is two or two noodles." Zhang Wenhao said quickly, "I just ate two." "Boom!
Zhang Jin's face turned cold instantly, I've never seen such a stupid person, these two goods, they come and go, do you want to pit him? Or do you want to pit yourself?
"One catches up with two or two noodles?" Father Zhang's brows were about to stand up suddenly, and he turned his face to ask Zhang Jin in a dark face, "You saved your mother money again?" β
"Nope." Zhang Jin was serious, "My own money." β
"Hey, you have the ability, pay back your own money, you have to be able to make your own money, and I will ask your mother to give double as an encouragement for your monthly living expenses in the future."
Give double as much! That's 80 to 100 living expenses, and you can save 5 or 600 a year by saving a little, which is a big temptation! Zhang Jin raised his eyes and looked at him with a pair of sparkling eyes: "Talking counts?" β
"Hey, hey!" Father Zhang didn't say a word, but in his heart he couldn't wait to take these two boys into his arms and beat them.
Zhang Jin pursed his lips when he saw this, and then took out two pieces of bread with meat floss flavors and handed them to Zhang Junbao, who was looking at his father.
Father Zhang was snubbed by his son, not to mention his mood, and took a bite of ham and bread angrily, as if he was biting his son's meat.
But in my heart, I slandered: no wonder my wife, two sons and girls love to eat these things, they are indeed delicious! However, compared with the meat sandwich bun made by the second child, it is still inferior.
How did you think of the little bastard's goodness again? Father Zhang frowned, ate the bread in his hand in three bites, drank the noodle soup in three or two bites, handed the empty bowl to his eldest son, and beckoned: "Send the bowl over, let's go home." β
"Oh!" Zhang Junbao responded, ate the meat floss bread in his hand in three bites, jumped out of the car with a jump, and sent the two bowls to the noodle shop next to him.
When the walk-behind tractor started, it was already full of people. There are those in Woniu Village, and there are those on the road to Woniu Village. Because at the beginning, it was said that it cost five cents to get in the car, and no one said anything, after all, they usually go to school for one dollar a person, and it is a few times when they meet acquaintances for five cents.
As soon as the tractor started, Zhang Junbao pulled Zhang Jin, looking like a good brother, and asked him if he really made money and how much he earned.
Zhang Wenhao also stretched out his ears to listen.
Zhang Jin didn't want to pay attention to the two of them, and gave them a few blank looks. He knew that his brother had been very concerned about making money since he was a child.
The family is poor, from childhood to adulthood, the living expenses are not much, even if every month when I go to school, my mother brings a pot of steamed buns to everyone, and there are times when I am hungry after a month. Not to mention that half the size of the child can be eaten.
I remember when I was in junior high school, I heard that herbs could make money, so I went to the mountains with myself and my grandfather to collect medicines. It's just that in the end, there is no place to sell the medicinal materials, so I can only sell them cheaply to my grandfather.
But Zhang Jin knows that Zhang Junbao has never stopped thinking about making money.
"Second brother, if you still treat me as a brother, you will be honest, otherwise, hum!" It's not soft to do it, Zhang Junbao greeted Zhang Wenhao with a look, and one by one he 'tortured Zhang Jin to extract a confession'.
Zhang Jin glanced at Zhang Wenhao coldly and said, "I still have a lot of delicious cakes, biscuits, and even chocolates in my backpack. The chocolates are all foreign brands. β
With a faint sentence, Zhang Wenhao immediately grinned, and said loyally: "Second brother, what do you say, I will listen to you." β
Zhang Junbao was speechless for an instant, glared at Zhang Wenhao fiercely and gritted his teeth, and roared in hatred: "Third child, are you a little out of business?" β
"As long as the two of you have a chance in our family, I'll follow the rest." Zhang Wenhao said very singlely, "Mom has said it before, I am a backfiller." β
Zhang Jin: ......
Zhang Junbao had an unbearable expression on his face, hugged his head and shouted: "I can't stand it, I can't stand it, how come there is a traitor like you in our family?" β
Zhang Junbao's words made the familiar students in the car laugh, but with the candy that Zhang Jin gave each person with a good-looking package when he got on the bus just now, they would not be jealous. After all, no matter how good things are, others save money to buy, and many of them save a few days of living expenses to buy some snacks to take home to their younger siblings during the holidays. This is almost universal.
Zhang Junbao's perseverance has always been invincible, and when he decided to break the casserole and ask to the end, then the one he was worried about had to be prepared.
Although Zhang Jin's preparation has always been the tightest in their family, it is still a little annoying to meet Zhang Junbao. Because the other party can use all kinds of means to make you upset, but you can't get angry, and give you mental torture.
When the tractor traveled for nearly an hour, there were only six people left in the body, including the three Zhang Jin brothers. Zhang Junbao was even more unscrupulous.
Zhang Jin knew that this person didn't ask, I was afraid that I would have to go to my grandfather's house tonight to sleep with him on a quilt to talk about brotherly feelings, he couldn't love a person who had smelly feet and didn't like to wash his feet, so he continued to keep his quilt clean, and after weighing it, he said: "You can't learn my method." β
"Why?"
"The money I earn is the cost of one of my articles."
"How much?"
"Why should I sue you?"
"If you have more, I'll write it too?"
"......" Zhang Jin stopped talking, only looked at each other deeply with his disdainful eyes, touched his nose embarrassedly at Zhang Junbao, and smirked, "Hey, hey!" What kind of eyes do you have? β
"A stamp is a dollar, you can try a few more times."
Zhang Junbao stopped talking at all, the reason why he was not a few points behind Zhang Jin when he took the high school entrance examination was because his science grades were very good. But compared with Zhang Jin, his liberal arts are a mess. Every time you take an exam to write an essay, it's a matter of luck, if you write well, you will get a high score, and if you don't write well, you can only hehe!
Approaching six o'clock in the evening, Zhang Jin and his entourage finally returned to Woniu Village in the roar of the walk-behind tractor, at the end of the ninth lunar month, the change in the length of the day and the length of the night was already obvious. So when the car drove into the village, it was basically full of smoke.
Early this year, the time for cutting rice and planting wheat is still quite tight, but due to the extra walk-behind tractors at home, Father Zhang and Grandpa Zhang have worked together, and the Zhang family's more than ten acres of land have been planted yesterday.
Otherwise, Dad Zhang wouldn't just go to the town to get some gas, but would have to wait in the town for a few hours to pick up the child.
The family had a lively dinner, and during the banquet, they were naturally asked again about the origin of Zhang Jin's bread and cake, but because someone had already helped pave the way, Zhang Jin didn't talk much. I just took the opportunity to talk about my transfer.
"This is also our negligence!" Zhang's father and Zhang's mother didn't say anything, but Grandpa Zhang heard Zhang Jin say that he only knew about it by listening to the teacher occasionally, and he said with palpitations, "Fortunately, I knew it in advance, if I didn't know until the third year of high school, it would be too late to change it at that time, but Gongjin, you have to work harder in the future, otherwise you won't have an advantage in the college entrance examination." β
"I know grandpa."
"Hehe, it's good to know. Okay, it's late, hurry up and go to your grandfather's place to rest, or he'll be going to break in the door if it's too late. β
"Yes." Zhang Jin said and prepared to leave with his bag.
"Second, second!" As soon as Zhang Jin walked to the gate of the courtyard, Zhang Junbao chased him out with a flashlight, "I'll give you a little." β
"No, you don't." Zhang Jin simply refused, how many steps do you still need to send? Boss Zhang has such a good heart? It's definitely not good.
"Hey, hey!" Boss Zhang couldn't refuse to put a hand on Zhang Jin's shoulder, looking like a 'good brother', but there was a very discordant laugh in his mouth, "Second brother, don't be so ruthless?" β
"If you have something to say, say it." Zhang Jin didn't eat that, and raised his hand to open the arm on his shoulder, "Can you stand up?" No bones, huh? β
"Isn't that overeating? Can't walk? β
"If you can't walk, go back to bed."
"Second, hehe, I'll just ask one thing. Hehe, how can you tell if a woman is everywhere? β
Zhang Jin was stunned when he heard this, and his steps involuntarily stood up, I don't know why, when he heard this, his heart beat very hard inexplicably. Turning his head, he looked at Zhang Junbao with a stern expression and said, "What are you asking for?" β
The black light is blind, even if he hits the flashlight, Zhang Junbao will not deliberately shine on Zhang Jin's face, so he didn't see his brother's face change, and he smiled with a 'discordant' smile: "Hehe, I'll ask, I remember hearing people in the village say before, my grandfather can see who is not in the place." β
Grandpa can tell who is not here, why doesn't he know about this? Zhang Jin's heart was beating wildly in an instant, and he β‘β‘ on his arm outside, and goosebumps rose.
"Second, what's wrong with you? Hehe, no, you're not a kid anymore, are you? β
Zhang Jin almost jumped up when he heard this, but fortunately his head turned quickly, knowing that this was said by Boss Zhang, so he rolled his eyes and said: "What nonsense, don't ruin my name?" β¦β¦ Wait, you won't be ...... Puppy love, right? β
"Hey!" Zhang Junbao laughed, put his arm on Zhang Jin's shoulder, and whispered in Zhang Jin's ear, "I'm just a crush, and I don't have money to fall in love, these days, who will like you if you don't have money?" I just heard from someone in our class that the woman I liked might not be a virgin anymore, but I couldn't see it. β
"How's it going? Can't see it? β
"Ugh!"
"Could it be that you still want to fall in love with someone? Isn't your school very tight? β
"I just want to see it."
"I'd advise you to stop, right? Don't look for trouble, if you say that the woman is really not at this time, she must be messing with people outside? You don't know the place where you are born in No. 2 Middle School, and people beat you up, what can you do? β
ββ¦β¦β
"It doesn't matter if the other party is a virgin or not, you have to think that what your mother wants is that her daughter-in-law has to be a college student. If the other party is really a school mix, he will definitely not be admitted to college. Don't let yourself get into trouble at that time, and ruin your university. β
"Is it so strict?"
"No, you can try? Anyway, my current goal is Peking University in Beijing. β
"What? Do you want to go to Peking University? Hehe, second child, don't be a leperβ‘β‘ yawn, your tone is not small. If you can go to Peking University, I promise to go to Tsinghua University. β
"Okay, let's wait and see." After Zhang Jin finished speaking, he turned around and left. That appearance made Zhang Junbao feel that the other party was so serious, maybe it was true. It's just that when he turned around and walked back, he muttered unconsciously in his heart, "This kid can't be stimulated by something, right?" Can the admission rate of the sixth middle school be out of Tsinghua University and Peking University? Our second middle school said that it was not good to come out, and it was ...... over there."
Zhang Jin walked freely, but in fact, his heart was turned upside down because of Zhang Junbao's words!
If grandpa really sees who is not in place, then can grandpa see that he is not?
What if grandpa can really see it? How is he going to explain it?
