Chapter 011: Don't be a god stick
"Yongchao, let's eat here, let's have a drink."
"Don't, I have to go to the field to deliver goods in the afternoon, let's sit down another day, oh yes, you have cleaned those bedding or something, and give me a call."
"Okay, then I won't keep you."
"See you ...... later"
Li Yongchao drove the car out of the alley, then honked the horn a few times and drove away.
This alley is a deep cul-de-sac, more than 80 meters long, and there are a total of seven families in the alley, and Ma Liang's family lives in the innermost part of the alley.
The two-meter-wide gatehouse is equipped with an iron gate painted with dark red paint, the sloping steps made of concrete extend down, the high gatehouse and both sides of the gate are pasted with bright tiles, and the three-meter-high courtyard wall is plastered with cement, which is clean and tidy; Entering the courtyard gate, first the gatehouse and the shadow wall are long and set up a passage formed by cement slabs, and then turn right into the courtyard, the courtyard is paved with light yellow square floor tiles, and behind the shadow wall is a toilet and a small house stacked with sundries; In addition, there are three main houses and two east rooms facing north and south, with spacious aluminum frame windows, reddish-brown wooden doors, and white tiles on the outer walls, which look clean and bright; In front of the house, there is a platform half a meter high and one meter five wide, and several flower pots are placed on the side, in which ordinary flowers are planted; At the bottom of the steps of the main house, there is a pomegranate tree planted on each side, and bright red pomegranate flowers are blooming among the lush green leaves.
From these aspects, it can be seen that the conditions of Ma Liang's family are good, at least ...... In the countryside, it can be regarded as a well-off family.
Ma Liang's father's name is Ma Mingquan, and he is a regular worker at the Feng Coal Power Plant, although he is just a very ordinary worker, but he can earn more than 40,000 yuan a year with a fixed salary plus bonuses and subsidies -- of course, this is a treatment that has only been available in recent years, and he did not have so much salary before.
Ma Liang's mother, Li Mei, is an ordinary rural woman who usually does housework at home.
During the family planning period, although there was no shortage of cases in rural areas where you could have a second or third child after paying a fine, Ma Ming was an employee of a power plant, and the control of family planning in a state-owned enterprise was quite strict......
However, in recent years, the family's financial conditions have also been somewhat constrained. Four years ago, it cost a lot of money to build a new house, and then Ma Liang's grandfather became seriously ill again, and he caught up with Ma Liang to go to college, and he tossed all the family's savings back and forth.
It's a pity that the old man didn't survive in the end, and died at the end of the autumn of the previous year.
"Ryoko, what's in those packages you take?" Li Mei asked through the open window as she cooked in the kitchen of the East Room.
"Huh? The bedding and quilt covers and other things left by the gang in the dormitory were too lazy to take away after graduation, and those who bought them only gave a total of a few dozen yuan, and I was not willing to sell them, so I pulled them back. Ma Liang replied casually, walking to the platform and untying the two large packages that had been thrown on the platform.
He didn't want to bring this smelly stuff into the house.
"Oh, put it there, I'll take it out and wash it in the afternoon, you go back to the house and rest first, and we'll have dinner when your dad comes back later."
"I know Mom, I'll dismantle and throw it in the washing machine by myself, it's not much work."
"Silly boy, I have to take out all the cotton and replay it from the ......"
"Ouch mom, we don't use it ourselves, wash the quilt cover, and the bedding inside is dried and dried, and I will sell it all when I turn around."
Li Mei couldn't cry or laugh, and said to herself: "This kid is thinking about making money." ”
On the platform, Ma Liang had already begun to get busy, he removed all the quilt covers and pillow covers on the futons, and then put the pillows and bedding on the clothesline to dry to remove the smell, and then carried the quilt covers, bed sheets, pillow covers, and mosquito nets to the water pipes next to the aisle of the gate, threw them into the washing machine partially, poured in the washing powder and washed them.
The day before yesterday, he had thought about it when he didn't allow his roommates to sell these things, and after taking them home and washing them, he would sell them to the staff dormitories in some small factories or the construction team outside the village, which was definitely more suitable than selling them to those aunts. You know, those aunts took away these beddings, maybe they were all sold as new.
Speaking of the school's uniform supplies, the quality is still good - the quilt covers, bed sheets, and pillow covers are all blue and white checkered cloth, washed and laid out the sheets on the bed, and the quilt is folded neatly, fresh and elegant......
In Ma Liang's opinion, it is much better than the ordinary bedding used by those families with flowers and greens.
He roughly estimated that a set would cost 100 yuan, which should be no problem.
No, after he told Li Yongchao on the way back, Li Yongchao immediately took a big bag: "Yes, tell me when you pick it up, I will pull all these things for you to sell in some factories in Zhaodu, one hundred and fifty yuan a set, and some people want it." ”
Originally, Li Yongchao was still thinking about selling to the migrant workers of the construction team, but now it is easy to eat, and he doesn't have to go out to find someone to sell.
Ma Liang is a nostalgic person, his own set is kept for use, and the other three sets can be sold for four hundred and fifty yuan if they are calculated like this, which is nothing more than busy washing and drying, and he can earn hundreds of yuan by turning his hands, which is cost-effective.
The quilt was just thrown into the washing machine and not washed for a while, and his father Ma Mingquan came back from work.
……
……
The ceiling fan on the roof swirls and pours a cool breeze, and the family of three sits around the coffee table and eats.
Two stir-fries, one cold dish, two bottles of beer, three bowls of rice......
"Ryoko, have you ever thought about what to do in the future?" Ma Mingquan drank beer and said warmly, his expression didn't seem to care much about it, just casually asked.
Ma Liang smiled and said, "I'll go find a job tomorrow." ”
"What job?" Li Mei hurriedly asked.
"Who knows...... You can't look for it slowly, anyway, you can't sit idle at home and gnaw at the old people, or ......" Speaking of this, Ma Liang paused, and said with a smile: "Mom, you take out the family's savings for investment, let me do some business?" ”
Li Mei immediately glared at her son, and said resolutely: "No, no, no, there are not many deposits, and they are all dead deposits, which will be kept for you to marry your daughter-in-law in the future, if you marry a daughter-in-law in the city, you have to buy a house in the city, there are still many differences, don't you dare to let you toss around, what if you lose all the money?" ”
"Well, you can't trust your son's abilities?" Ma Liang pursed his lips and joked: "With our family's savings of 40,000 yuan, it is not enough to buy a house and even make a down payment, let alone marry a daughter-in-law for me." Hehe, it's better for me to use it for business, and guarantee that it can be multiplied several times in a year, which is much better than depositing it in the bank to eat interest......"
"You dead boy! If you can find a daughter-in-law to marry now, your father and I will borrow all the money from our relatives, and we will have to make up the money for you to buy a house!" ”
"Gotcha, let's not mention this, don't mention this...... Hey. Ma Liang laughed awkwardly, and quickly lowered his head and pulled the rice into his mouth.
He knew in his heart that if he continued to talk about it, he would definitely have to mention whether he had a partner or not.
"It's hard to find a job right now......," Ma Mingquan said with a frown.
Ma Liang had an indifferent expression, drank a glass of beer, and while picking up the wine bottle and pouring wine for his father, he said: "It's okay, I really can't find a job, I'll set up a stall for people to dance, hehe." ”
As soon as he heard this, Ma Mingquan immediately became angry, slammed the wine glass on the coffee table, spilled some wine in shock, and angrily reprimanded: "If you kid dares to be a magic stick, I will break your legs!" ”
I think that back then, Ma Liang's grandfather suffered a lot in the "Breaking the Four Olds" and the "Cultural Revolution Period" because he was a so-called magic stick, and he left himself ill, not to mention, and Ma Ming was ridiculed all when he was a child.
So Ma Mingquan has a strong resistance to this kind of thing.
It's a pity that the old man couldn't teach him those strange techniques back then, but he taught them to his grandson...... Originally, Ma Mingquan resolutely disagreed with this, but his son was in a rebellious period of youth when he was in junior high school, although he was afraid of his father, he was screwed up in his heart to fight against his father, and his grandfather supported him, and he really learned the set of spells taught by his grandfather.
Because of this, Ma Mingquan and his family have always believed that the reason why their son's academic performance has not been very good since he was a child is because he spends part of his mind and time practicing these useless things.
In fact, Ma Mingquan is not a good-tempered person, and he teaches his children well, well, his method is to uphold the excellent traditional education method - filial piety under the stick. But today, because his son has just graduated, and now he is under great pressure to be employed, he has no ability to help as a father, so he thinks that he should speak gently to save the child too much pressure in his heart.
is the so-called heart of parents all over the world......
But just now Ma Liang actually said that he was going to be a god, and of course he, a father, was going to be furious.
Nonsense, it's just nonsense!
