CHAPTER XXI

On the bus from Kyoto to Baigou, Bi Cheng covered his stomach a little nervously, Bi Yue saw the appearance of the eldest brother on one side, and whispered in Bi Cheng's ear:

"You're prompting the thief, where are you hiding your money?"

Bi Cheng was squeezed by the people in the middle aisle of the bus, squeezed his body crookedly, and approached his sister to confirm again:

"Are they all on the market? Nothing left? Sister, is it reliable or not? ”

The distance from Shiragou to Kyoto is 113 kilometers and a two-and-a-half-hour drive.

Bi Yue looked out of the car, she thought, what can't be done, it's all done here.

……

Outside the window, there was a verdant greenery, and the cabin smelled of sweat.

Bi Yue's two fingers were strained, and the shackled car window was opened by her, and then the eldest sister sitting behind her began to complain:

"You opened it so big, you pushed all my windows over!"

Bi Yue didn't have the heart to talk to the eldest sister, she was calculating the money in her head. The eldest sister behind her pushed the window back again, leaving only a small gap for her.

The eldest brother asked her just now, but Bi Yue didn't answer.

She thought: She and Bi Cheng are college students now, and they can still survive by insisting on frying fritters for two or three months to earn hard-earned money, but even so, it is still Mr. Li's help.

But in the long run, the eldest brother's academic performance will decline, and she and her younger brother's body will not be able to bear it. It can be seen that this way of making a living is not suitable for them.

If they are tired again, the Bi family, a poor family, will really not be able to stand it.

Bi Yue sighed out the window.

In addition, I took my grandfather to the hospital for a thorough examination, and I spent a lot of money. It's like this in any era, I don't have money, I can't afford to see a doctor!

There are still those debts, could it be that she and her eldest brother went back to their hometown, continued to thank the families with a cheeky face, and then didn't mention or miss the arrears over the years?

There are three pieces of the Wang family in the east, and five pieces of eight pieces in the Li family in the west......

Grandpa has been taking medicine money all these years, my uncle is not bullied in prison to pay some money, my father owes the treatment fee of the barefoot doctor in the village for treating his legs, and she and Bi Cheng embarked on the road to study that year......

Bi Yue had plans to do small business without studying, so that in less than a year, she believed that she should be able to make the Bi family better and better with her vision of the future.

But when she saw the letter written to her by her father in her hometown, which read crookedly "You must study hard, and your father's face is bright", she realized how important the word "college student" is to the Bi family.

Perhaps, this is the reason why that poor family has been supported.

……

Bi Yue suddenly turned her head sideways, looked at Bi Cheng seriously and asked, "Do you believe in my sister?" ”

"No, sister, I didn't mean that, I ...... mean that" Bi Cheng lowered his voice, and the voice was so small that only Bi Yue could hear his muffled voice:

"Why don't we leave some money to cross the river?"

Bi Yue replied categorically: "There is no need. ”

Confident appearance, Bi Cheng was stunned for a moment, and recently he felt more and more that his sister had changed greatly, as if he was ...... It's like the difference between heaven and earth.

His sister was stunned to believe in the Su people who met by chance, but his sister told him that he didn't know the Su language, could it be that the "Su trader" could also speak English? Or is it the old man's shirt upside down? How is it so coincidental?

Bi Cheng had reservations in his heart and muttered, but he had to blindly follow Bi Yue and believe in his sister.

When he couldn't sleep at night, he pondered over and over again, his sister suddenly fried twist fritters, and met foreigners "high", is this the legendary "God starves to death blind family Qiao (finch)"?

……

And Bi Yue smelled the smell of diesel and sweat, and also fell into memories.

She vividly remembers that she was fortunate enough to interview a famous entrepreneur when she first started working.

The middle-aged man talked to her with a look of memory and yearning, about the past days when she earned the first pot of gold in the Soviet Union.

On other topics, the boss was concise and to the point, only when he interviewed that paragraph, he said with great interest:

"In that environment, I did this, it had to be a secret, and I couldn't tell anyone!

At that time, textiles were poured into the Soviet Union, and the net profit was at least twice as much, which made me see a lot of business opportunities.

Later, I stopped doing this, firstly, because in the general environment, it was too risky to set up this crime of speculation.

Second, by the end of the eighties, many people were involved, profits were shrinking, and under unhealthy competition, even the compatriots who should have been twisted together in a foreign country exposed a lot of ugly nature, and I don't want to be too disappointed in human nature.

Three, it's because I don't have to fight so hard anymore. It turns out that to dare to be the one who eats the first bite of crab, but you can't eat it for a long time, it's cold. ”

I still remember the entrepreneur standing up, with his back to her, and summing up those days in an exclamatory tone:

"Climbing up and down on the train with a package on my back, the appearance of a wolf bèi, is the youth I experienced."

Tong Guò recalls this conversation......

Bi Yue thought that she should be steady, accurate, and ruthless, and immediately turn over to change the dilemma and make quick money......

Whatever awaits her ahead, no matter what, she has to go and give it a try!

Baigou Station arrived.

Turn left and right, in fact, with the flow of people, with the flexible eyes of the crowd who just got off the car walking, you can see a lot of "wonderful."

In any era, there is no money to see a doctor.

In any era, when others dare not do it, if you do it, you will be angry!

The so-called wholesale point is a big long street, a very narrow and long road, and it looks like a morning market.

Rows of barbed wire fences, the sound of selling from house to house, the bosses with a few main styles on their arms, shouting and loudly negotiating prices with customers.

Behind them, all kinds of clothes are densely hung, and some of the sellers with large quantities of goods are on the stalls, and the clothes hanging on the barbed wire are pressed one by one, and the visitors can only see half of them.

If you want to look closely, the boss has to carry a large long wooden stick, which is a small fork at one end, and can only be taken off by hooking the clothes with this long wooden stick.

Bi Cheng followed closely and followed behind Bi Yue.

There were a lot of people, Bi Cheng listened to Bi Yue's skillful walking and asking the price, and he himself dodged left and right to observe these people beside them, and his hands would unconsciously put on his lower abdomen, for fear that others would steal their money.

Bi Yue didn't make a move, sweating profusely, until she walked through most of the market, and finally stood in a place where she sold pockets:

"Boss, bring me the four largest rubber wire bags!"

This is the first money spent by the sister and brother, and they are so thirsty that they can't even bother to drink saliva, let alone lunch.

Bi Cheng knew in his heart that his sister was going to make a move, and it was estimated that he even knew where to put the goods on it.

Bi Yue returned the same way and ran to the counter that had just entered the market:

"Boss, how do you get this cultural shirt?"

The man who was almost fifty years old glanced up and down at Bi Yue a few times, and then squinted at Bi Cheng, who was not familiar with it, and came to get the goods for the first time, blurted out: "Three pieces!" ”
