Chapter 18: Friends Across the World
Lin Guozhong worked in a mine in other places, left at the beginning of the year, and only came back at the end of the year.
Before graduating from college, for a long time, Lin He didn't understand how much his father had paid for this. It wasn't until he got married and had children that he really understood his father's dedication to this family.
There are a lot of people who come back with their father, and they all work in the mine with their father.
Looking at Daddy's suddenly much younger face, a face uncontrollably appeared in his mind, it was Daddy's face in his fifties twenty years later, his sideburns were all white, and his waist, which had not bent over for most of his life, was also a little bowed, and the wrinkles on his face left the vicissitudes of time, and there were also hardships in life, Lin He's eyes were wet at once, and he quickly turned his head to wipe it.
"What's wrong?"
Huang Chunhua saw it and asked casually.
Lin He said, "It's okay, it's in the sand." ”
Lin Guozhong said: "There are raisins in the box. ”
Lin He said: "If you don't eat it, I'll go collect the pigs." ”
Huang Chunhua said: "Hurry up, the pigs in the pen have been killed." ”
Lin He nodded and hurried out.
Huang Chunhua told the man about the recent events at home, and told him from beginning to end.
Lin Guozhong was dumbfounded when he heard this, and he felt that his brain was a little insufficient.
In just a few months, so many things have happened at home.
Lin Guozhong couldn't believe it: "You said that Lin He earned more than 200,000 yuan in the past six months?"
Huang Chunhua nodded affirmatively: "At the beginning, I sent pork to Qingyang's two regiments, which could cost six or seven thousand yuan a month, and at the end of October, I took two more regiments, and sent more, I could earn 134,000 a month, almost more than 30,000, Lin He went to the north to buy a hundred cows, a cow was only 200 yuan, sold seventy-seven heads, and twenty-three heads, which could earn more than 200,000 yuan." ”
Lin Guozhong was stunned for a long time and asked, "Where did Lin He go to the northern country?"
Huang Chunhua said: "I don't know this. ”
Lin Guozhong always felt that something was wrong, and was ready to wait for Lin He to come back and ask.
After dinner, Lin He chatted with his father for two hours, Lin Guozhong asked about buying cattle in the north, Lin He knew that his father was not easy to fool, so he said truthfully, Lin Guozhong said in a deep voice: "Have you thought about it, what should you do if you are arrested?"
Lin He said: "It's okay to be careful, it's enough to do a few times in this kind of business, I don't want to do it all the time, as long as I make some money a few times, I will stop, as long as I have money in my hand, I can make money by doing anything." ”
Lin Guozhong asked, "What else do you want to do?"
Lin Daodao: "I haven't thought about it yet, let's take a step at a time." ”
Lin Guozhong said: "Did you go a year ago?"
Lin He said: "It's already snowing in the mountains, so I won't go." ”
……
Midnight.
Huang Chunhua said to Lin Guozhong: "If you don't go to the mine next year, you won't be able to go home once a year, so you can just go with Lin He to collect pigs and send meat to the troops, more than 10,000 a month, and you can earn more than 100,000 yuan a year!"
Lin Guozhong said angrily: "Don't go." ”
Huang Chunhua was puzzled: "Why?"
Lin Guozhong couldn't speak, let him follow his son, he couldn't afford to lose this face, but it was hard to say, don't mention the depression in his heart, so he had to say in a hurry: "Everyone is decided next year, and Su Zhenmin is not easy to say." ”
Huang Chunhua didn't doubt him, sighed, and didn't know what to say.
……
The next day, Lin Guozhong was not idle at home, and went to collect pigs with Lin He.
It snowed at noon, and it was too cold, so I didn't go out after lunch.
Lin Guozhong was about to go out for a walk, when Lin Hai came and invited Lin He's family over for dinner.
Lin Guozhong couldn't refuse, so he had to respond, and said a few words to Lin He, and Lin Duo came again, and he also invited him to dinner.
Lin Hai said with a smile: "You're late, come to my house first in the afternoon, and tell Uncle Zhong that you will go to the back." ”
Lin Duo was helpless, so he had to say, "Then Uncle Zhong will go to my house to eat tomorrow night?"
Lin Guozhong excused himself a few times, but when he saw that he couldn't push it off, he could only respond helplessly.
When the two left, they said with emotion: "What's wrong with this person, I haven't seen such enthusiasm when I go home in previous years." ”
Huang Chunhua raised her eyebrows and said: "Where do you want to go, people are working for your son, so they came to invite you to dinner, otherwise you think that you have such a big face, and when you come back, they will ask you to eat." ”
Lin Guozhong was bored, got up and went out.
The snow didn't stop until the night, and it continued to rain for three days, and the dog didn't want to go out.
At this time in previous years, Lin Guozhong went home to rest and had nothing to do.
But this year is different, either follow Lin Hai and Lin Duo to the army to distribute meat, or go out with Lin He to collect pigs.
Although he is busy, Lin Guozhong is in a happy mood, and his son has the ability to earn money, which makes him feel a lot less stressed. With two sons, it will not be easy to marry a daughter-in-law in the future, and Lin He will not go to school, so his pressure will be even greater.
Now that Lin He is capable, at least he doesn't have to worry about being a bachelor in the future.
The third uncle, Lin Guoping, also came back, planning to buy a Dongfeng truck to pull the goods and discuss with his father.
When he came back that afternoon, Lin Guozhong told Lin He: "Your third uncle needs to borrow money to buy a car."
Lin He was stunned for a moment and said, "Why did the third uncle come to my house to borrow money?"
Huang Chunhua said coldly: "It's not that he is in a panic, tell the third child that you have earned more than 200,000 yuan by pouring cattle." ”
Lin He was speechless when he heard this, and asked his father, "Have you agreed?"
Lin Guozhong was embarrassed, pinched his nose and said, "I have already agreed." ”
Lin He was speechless again, he didn't know what to say, his father was too sincere, and he was even more heartfelt to the two brothers, there was nothing wrong with it, but there were some things that couldn't be said, and this trouble came.
Lin He has no feelings for the two uncles, and he still has prejudices because of some things in his previous life, so he doesn't want to borrow money.
But now that Daddy has agreed, what else can he say?
Lin He asked, "How much does the third uncle borrow?"
Lin Guozhong said: "Thirty thousand!"
Lin He has a toothache, and if he borrows out the 30,000 yuan, he doesn't know when he will be able to pay it back! What's even worse is that this time this time he opened this opening, and the messy relatives heard the news and also came to borrow money.
Huang Chunhua is not good, and he is counting Lin Guozhong.
Lin He looked at his father and suddenly figured it out.
If the money is gone, you can earn it again, as long as Daddy is happy, borrow it!
The snow has stopped, and New Year's Day has arrived.
At the turn of the world, the peasants of Xigou Village did not feel that the torrent of society was rolling forward, and they still did what they should do, only Lin He felt that the wheel of history was rolling, and did not change direction because of his butterfly.
Lin He felt the urgency of time and thought about it a lot.
How much happened in this year at the turn of the century?
It seems that Ye Liqin resigned, *** became the boss of Taiwan, and many people were sentenced to death in the Yuanhua smuggling case, etc., how did these news help his fortune plan?
Lin He thought about it for three days, but he didn't have a clue.
Lin Guoping's Dongfeng truck was bought back and firecrackers were set off for several days.
For Xigou people, buying a Dongfeng truck is more exciting than buying a Ferrari more than ten years later.
You must know that there are nearly 200 households in Xigou now, with less than 30 motorcycles and less than 20 tractors.
As for cars, it's even more gone.
Therefore, it is really amazing to be able to spend 80,000 yuan to buy a Dongfeng truck.
Lin He took the time to see his grandfather and grandmother, gave 500 yuan each, and used a tractor to pull a bunch of meat and vegetables. My uncle and aunt haven't come back this year, and the two old people are not having a good time celebrating the New Year.
All a hundred cattle were sold, and Lin He felt that he was also a rich man.
I went to Tonggu, comforted the officers and soldiers, and spent more than 30,000 yuan.
As long as the money is spent in the right place, Lin He will not feel distressed.
If he spends more than 30,000 yuan, he will be able to earn back tenfold and hundredfold.
In mid-January, the school finally closed.
There are more people in the village, the part-time workers have come back for the New Year, and the students have also gone home, but Lin He is a little nerve-wracking, and young people of the same age come to call him every once in a while, either drinking or playing cards.
I didn't go once, I didn't go twice, and the third time Lin He was annoyed.
With a teenage body, there are some troubles that I can't escape if I want to.
People in their thirties, with a group of boys who have not grown up hair, can they have any common topics, drinking, gambling, money and bragging, it is really not what Lin He loves, when he is fine, he would rather chat with the old people in the village and ponder the old man's philosophy of life.
Lin Jiang asked the boss: "Do you have pocket money during the winter vacation?"
Lin He said: "There is no winter vacation, but you can earn a salary. ”
"Earn a wage?"
Lin Jiang's eyes widened: "If I work for you, will you pay me a salary?"
Lin He hummed: "Collect the pig with me, and you can make meat with Lin Hai and Lin Duo." ”
Lin Jiang rubbed his hands and asked, "How much money do you give me a day?"
Lin He said: "Five yuan a day." ”
Lin Jiang was unhappy: "You give Brother Lin Hai and Brother Lin Duo more than a dozen a day, and only give me five yuan." ”
Lin He was angry and said: "People are outsiders, you are also an outsider? You also have the face to ask for wages for doing your own work, I haven't said anything about you, you kicked your nose in the face first, why don't you give money if you eat and drink what you eat?"
Lin Jiang choked, scratching his ears and cheeks anxiously, not knowing how to answer.
Lin He asked, "How was the final exam?"
Lin Jiang immediately became energetic: "Then it goes without saying, continue to be the first." ”
Lin He nodded: "It's not bad, continue to maintain it next semester." ”
In the afternoon, Lin Guozhong and Lin Hai came back from collecting pigs and pulled back three pigs.
Lin He hasn't run out much recently, most of the time his father takes Lin Hai or Lin Duo out to collect pigs, although he doesn't know how to bargain, either he collects high, or he kills less meat, which affects profits, but Lin He doesn't care too much anymore.
Earn less and earn less, it's nothing to lose some profits, just go to drive cattle and earn back in the spring.
was about to eat, and her aunt Zhang Yulan ran in in a panic: "Sister-in-law, something happened!"
