Chapter 49: The First Step Begins
The two wrote a simple agreement, and then the boss looked at the money handed over by Ma Xiaodong and hesitated: "Don't regret it when the time comes." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info "He is still a little worried, in case the child regrets it, this matter will spread out, it is really good to say."
Ma Xiaodong waved his hand, "Just put your heart in your stomach, such a little money is not worth my regrets." "People's worries are understandable to Ma Xiaodong.
When the boss heard this, he was also skeptical, he really hadn't heard of such a rich family in the nearby village, and it seemed that he had time to inquire.
The boss put the money away, and Ma Xiaodong proposed that a sign should be made and placed at the intersection, so that people from several villages would see it when they passed by, because the boss's house was next to the road. So the two found a door panel, used a lipstick that his daughter didn't want, and wrote on it, "Harvest hazel mushrooms, 9 yuan a catty." β
Standing the door panel in front of the door of their house, you can see the bright red typing from afar, and after all this, Ma Xiaodong explained: "Uncle Liang, let's go to the brigade in a while, you let the brigade's loudspeaker help you shout, otherwise you can't see it if you don't go out." When I signed the agreement just now, Ma Xiaodong knew that this boss was called Liang Fugui, with a good name and a sense of the times.
Liang Fugui nodded, "I'll go by myself for a while." In fact, Liang Fugui still didn't want people to know that he was helping a child collect mushrooms. If this gets out, maybe everyone will arrange themselves.
"I'm going to call, it's okay with you. Ma Xiaodong knew the boss's thoughts, and was a little depressed, what's wrong with being young? There are so many young people in history, don't people still pay homage to the prime minister? But he doesn't want people to know that he is collecting mushrooms, because he is afraid that if it reaches his mother's ears, it will be dead.
When you come to the brigade, there is a telephone here, but if you want to call, it costs money, five cents a minute. Entering the house, Ma Xiaodong said to the old man who was watching the house that he wanted to call, the old man was a little surprised, there had never been a child to call, but he still took out the key, opened the drawer, and took out a red telephone inside.
"No, it's a long distance, if you play a long distance, a minute counts as a piece. β
Ma Xiaodong nodded, took out the phone and pressed Yu Xiaoyu's mobile phone number.
"Hey, who?," a slightly hoarse, but somewhat seductive, voice rang on the other end of the phone.
"Sister Xiaoyu, it's me. β
He Xia Yu on the other end immediately shouted in surprise: "Brother?"
An enthusiastic younger brother made Ma Xiaodong's heart warm, his charming and naΓ―ve sister was really attentive to herself, "Sister, are you busy?"
"Sister is not busy, is there something wrong? If there is something, you can say it, I will listen. β
Ma Xiaodong heard that the voice over there was a little noisy, someone asked the price, it was estimated that she was in the store, so he said directly, "I have started to collect mushrooms here, you can send a car over after two or three days, otherwise the money in my hand will be gone, and I will have to stop collecting mushrooms later." "The money in Ma Xiaodong's hand is more than 70,000 yuan in total, and it is estimated that the money is not enough to collect these four villages, not to mention expanding outward, and you have to hurry up when you collect mushrooms, because the autumn harvest is about to begin, and everyone will take advantage of this time to sell the mushrooms in exchange for some money for the autumn harvest."
Yu Xiaoyu responded happily over there, "No problem, I will follow the car the day after tomorrow, and I will go directly to your school to find you when the time comes, okay?"
When Ma Xiaodong heard this, he asked in surprise, "You will come too?"
"Nonsense, so much money, can I let a driver take it? Of course I have to go with the car. Why? Do you welcome me?"
Ma Xiaodong pondered, what Yu Xiaoyu said also made sense, she didn't have a bank card, she couldn't transfer money if she wanted to, so she could only trade in cash. "Of course I'm glad you can come, and when you come to my school to look for me, you will say that it is my relative, or I will not ask for leave from the teacher. β
"Okay, then it's decided, I'll go the day after tomorrow. β
"Okay, then you're busy, I'm hanging, the phone bill is very expensive, right, help me bring a mobile phone, and a calling card, it's too inconvenient to contact without a mobile phone." Ma Xiaodong decided to buy a mobile phone, or it was too inconvenient, although the current mobile phone is ugly, and it seems that there is no color screen just now, so he can only make calls and send text messages.
"Got it, you little slammer, hang up. β
Ma Xiaodong hung up the phone, looked at the time, just one minute, and gave the old man five cents, but the old man looked at Ma Xiaodong with strange eyes, and wondered in his heart, why does this kid have nothing to do with making a phone call to brag and play, and he still collects mushrooms, and wants to buy a mobile phone, who believes it?
Ma Xiaodong didn't know what the old man thought, if he knew, he would probably be depressed, "I'm okay with you old man to blow anything." Hurry to the school, it's almost eight o'clock, the little girl may have arrived, just arrived at the school to see, sure enough, the little girl is already waiting there, but this time she is alone, there are no other classmates.
The little girl also saw Ma Xiaodong, her little mouth that was originally pouting in boredom immediately bent a beautiful arc, and her eyes narrowed into a slit.
Ma Xiaodong looked at the little girl's appearance, turned his head and signaled, and the two walked towards the woods to the east one after the other. The reason why they didn't go together was entirely because the little girl was afraid of meeting acquaintances, in that case, there was no way to explain it, in case something came out again, the little girl would definitely be cleaned up by the family. At this time, early love in the countryside is not only a question of education, but also a question of character.
Fortunately, there was no one along the way, and he went into the woods smoothly, Ma Xiaodong walked behind, and when he entered, he happened to see the little girl breaking branches boredly.
"When did you arrive?"
The little girl looked at Ma Xiaodong with a smile, "It's early, you big lazy worm, why did you come?"
Ma Xiaodong looked at the little girl suspiciously, "You came so early, aren't you greedy?"
The little girl's face turned red as soon as she was stunned, and she glared at Ma Xiaodong angrily, "No!"
Ma Xiaodong knew that he had guessed it at a glance, tried hard not to let himself laugh, bit his lip and nodded: "Well, yes, understood." Without biting his lip, Ma Xiaodong was afraid that he would not be able to help laughing.
But the little girl's next sentence made Ma Xiaodong unable to hold back any longer, and laughed out loud.
"I'm hungry and haven't eaten in the morning"
