42 tricycles

Although Xiao Zhen goes out early and returns late these days, he has money to pay every day, sometimes more and sometimes less, but overall it is still good.

After dinner in the evening, Tang Ping suddenly came to visit, and Xiao Zhen chatted with him outside while drinking tea.

"Brother, what do you think?" Tang Ping asked while drinking tea.

Xiao Zhen sighed, "If I think about it again, this is about to be the New Year, if you spend all the money, how can you spend the New Year." ”

"Oh, brother, there are still more than half a month, why are you in a hurry, now is the time to be busy, let's make money first, maybe we can have a good year!" Tang Ping said, shook his head again and said, "I just don't have any money, if I don't care about my daughter-in-law, asking for money is like asking for her life, and besides, my family's savings are not enough." ”

"I'll think about it." Xiao Zhen finally said.

After chatting about work for a while, Tang Ping left.

When the two chatted, Xiao Ma and Xiao Yan were changing the bed sheets in the house, and Xiao Ma slowly tidied up the house when she had time recently, and the bed sheets and quilt covers were changed, and then washed and kept for replacement.

What Xiao Zhen and Tang Ping said in the outhouse was heard by them.

Xiao Zhen is a bit machismo, he carries everything by himself, he doesn't like to say anything that happens outside, and he likes to solve it by himself.

They also talked about things outside when Xiao Zhen usually chatted with Tang Ping, and after the two of them finished building a new house for that family, they went directly to the labor market to work, and an acquaintance introduced them the next day. Later, they went directly to the county labor market to squat work, these days they have also done small jobs, sewers have also been done, dirty work as long as someone is looking for it, now it is not easy to find some work, not that people really don't want to do it or really can't do it, people are not willing to spend money to hire people.

Slowly, Xiao Zhen found that generally those who come to find someone to work are not just looking for one person, but looking for a few at once, for example, the easiest way to find someone to move, even if you have to find two people, if you move alone, when you have to move.

And those of them who work hard are generally alone, and there is no collective consciousness, as soon as someone comes to find someone, they all rush forward, some grab and some can't, slowly Xiao Zhen feels that this is not good, after all, there are still more jobs to do, and few employers.

There are too few opportunities for a job that can be found by one person alone, and sometimes it is often impossible to get a job after squatting for a day, and it costs dry food for a day without saying anything.

And if a person, in addition to those jobs that are purely laborious, there are a lot of technical jobs that can be done less, and the employer has to spend time and effort to ask and find again, it is better for them to spontaneously form a small group and a variety of technical projects, so that the chance of finding a job is much greater, and the employer will feel that they are more professional.

Originally, it was just Xiao Zhen and Tang Ping working together, and later they joined masons and bricklayers, and those who connected the sewers were professional, and then Xiao Zhen, a carpenter, could form a construction team.

So these days, this small team has really taken on a lot of work, and everyone loves to act together even more when they get the sweetness.

This time they received a large order, a newly established store department has a batch of goods to be transported, but they do not have a car, so they want to find some tricycles, this year it would be good to be able to transport goods by tricycle.

Xiao Zhen They not only want to take over this job, but also feel sorry for the money to buy a car, after all, buying a tricycle that can transport goods is a big investment for a family like him, and the New Year is coming soon, Xiao Zhen is afraid that if he takes the money to buy a car, he will have no money for the New Year.

Knowing this situation, Xiao Yan discussed with her mother to take out the money they earned from selling pickles in the county these days, although she still wants to save some funds in the future and plan to do some money-making business, but now that she has a serious use, of course she has to support it, anyway, she didn't think of a suitable business.

"What? Is this the money you make selling pickles these days? Xiao Zhen's eyes widened, looking at a blue checkered handkerchief with banknotes on it, and said stunned, in his mind, even if the pickles made by his daughter-in-law were delicious, how much could they be sold for, who would not know how to pickle pickles, and it would be good to sell them.

I didn't expect there to be so much money, "This must be more than a hundred, right?" ”

"You've earned it in this bag!" Zhao Guoying took out another cloth bag that looked very sturdy, "It's not a penny, there are two hundred and zero points, it should still be okay to buy a tricycle." ”

Xiao Zhen was a little confused, but still said, "You can collect the money from selling pickles first!" ”

"What to collect, I have discussed with my daughter, you can take half of the money here to buy a car, and the other half can be used for the New Year, as for the children's tuition fees in the coming year, don't we have to earn it!" Zhao Guoying said with a smile that she had to count every penny, but selling pickles these days let her know that sometimes it is not so difficult to make money.

"How can this work, we don't have insurance for this job, the children's tuition fees must not be set aside first, in case they can't earn it after a year, how can the children go to school? Besides, half of the year here is earned by Xiaoyan's hot sauce, so she must keep it for her as tuition. Xiao Zhen said with a frown.

"Dad, how can there be a return if you don't invest, you buy a tricycle to have more work, and there is still more than half a month to the year, and the money I and my mother will earn again, I will save my own tuition, hehe!" Xiao Yan thought that she would definitely need funds to start a small business in the future, and she didn't think that so much would be put together at the beginning, and she would definitely keep some for herself in the future, so that it would be convenient to do anything, and it would be inconvenient to discuss it with her parents if she did something, after all, they might not be able to understand some ideas.

In the end, Xiao Zhen gritted his teeth, he was not a grinder, he decided to buy the car tomorrow, Tang Ping had a job tomorrow Xiao Zhen decided to go alone, and after buying it, he would go to squat.

Xiao Yan wanted to go with him as soon as she heard it, Zhao Guoying didn't understand this, and felt that her daughter was now older, and she still had a good idea, so she shouldn't suffer a loss if she followed.

The next day, Xiao Zhen rode a bicycle and took his daughter to the county, where there was a free trading market not far from the labor market, where cars were sold.

Xiao Yan originally thought that she must buy a cheap and good one, showing her skills, but after going here, she found that this place is said to be a trading market, in fact, there are not many stalls, and there are not many people who come to shop, there are two places that sell bicycles, but there is only one tricycle, how to choose, because there is no choice at all, because people only have two tricycles for sale, and they are exactly the same style.

In the end, Xiao Yan relied on her 'three-inch tongue' to successfully talk about five yuan, and when Xiao's father paid the money, Xiao Yan said depressedly, "I said uncle, you said that you don't get a few more different ones, let's have a comparison, all the same style is nothing new." ”

"You little girl, you can talk too much, you think this car is so easy to get, we still have people in the factory, we can come out at a cheap price, and pick a style!" The car seller counted the ninety-five yuan he had received, and his flesh ached the missing five dollars.

This car is not easy for him to come by, and it was transported directly from the southern factory, and it would be good to have the goods, this girl can really bargain, and he was five yuan cheaper when he said it.

Xiao Yan later learned that this was not a formal trading market, and of course it was not as high as the asking price of the shopping mall, which was more than one-third cheaper than the shopping mall.

Along the way, Xiao Zhen stepped on the tricycle, humming a song, Xiao Yan sat in the back of the car, the car was welded with iron parts, and the bottom plate was painted with thick iron plates, which looked very strong and should be able to be used for a long time.

Xiao Zhen didn't expect to buy the car for less than a hundred, his own girl is really amazing, she used to work together, but it cost more than one hundred and twenty, but I don't know where to buy it, it's different.

Riding to the intersection, Xiao Zhen stopped the car, put down the bicycle he was riding, and said to his daughter, "I'll go to work first, can you ride this bicycle to find your mother?" ”

"Dad, don't worry, I've come to the county as many times as I come, and I know everywhere!" Xiao Yan said while holding on to the car.

Dad Xiao nodded, if he hadn't been at ease before, but thinking that his daughter-in-law was selling things nearby, and his daughter-in-law knew each other, so he rode away on the newly bought three-wheeler.

Xiao Yan didn't ride this kind of bicycle with a girder from time to time when she was a child, and when she was not tall enough, she directly stretched her little short legs from the middle of the girder and pedaled, and she rode fast.

Now she's a little taller, she tried it, and she can really step on the girder, but she doesn't know if she can step on the pedals, she is trying to try, the first time she doesn't ride, she wants to go up and try it directly, but as soon as her legs stretched out, she heard a hurried voice shouting from behind.

"Get out of the way."

Xiao Yan turned around and didn't see what was going on, when she saw a young man running towards her, chasing a few burly men behind him. The young man was not tall, and ran straight towards her, she instinctively threw down the car and hid to the side, but the young man ran close to see her and didn't look at her, so he pushed the car away directly, and left the next sentence, "Borrow the envoy." ”

Xiao Yan's eyes widened, "Hey, leave the car behind." She chased after her, it was easy for the family to make some money, no matter how broken the car was, it was the only valuable item in the family, and it was bought by her parents when they got married, how could they just lose it.

She ran after the figure of the young man, the young man thought that he was tired of running, and felt that he could ride faster, so he saw that the young man was running with the cart and was going to get on the car, but he may not have ridden the girder car, and he didn't consider the girder in front at all, and the leg passed directly from the front, and the result can be imagined.

With a 'clang', the boy was smashed under the bicycle.
