Chapter 99: Borrowed Money
"And surprises?" Kong Xinggang held 186 yuan and 2 dimes tightly in his hand, knowing that he had earned at least about 120 yuan by reselling melon seeds this time, he was already excited and surprised, but he didn't expect there to be a surprise.
Yu Mingyue raised her finger and made a boo gesture, and looked back at the acquisition station a little nervously, seeing that no one should have heard, she turned her head and nodded lightly twice. This has to be heard by the people at the acquisition station, but it can't be done.
Yu Mingyan's exclamation about to be said was forced back, she obediently covered her mouth, and after leaning against Yu Mingyue, she opened her big phoenix eyes and whispered: "Xiaoyue, Xiaoyue, tell me what the surprise is." As he spoke, he shook Yu Mingyue's hand.
"Hehe, just come with me."
After finishing pulling Yu Mingyan, she was about to go north, but when she saw that the tricycle driver who helped pull the goods just now was still waiting on the side of the road, Yu Mingyue was stunned for a moment, and immediately blushed embarrassedly.
God, I forgot about the driver who pulled the goods, and I haven't given him any money.
Although she was embarrassed, Yu Mingyue reacted quickly, quietly pulled Kong Xinggang, and said softly: "Uncle, Sister Xiaoyan, no matter where we go for a while, no matter how surprised or curious you are, you can't ask more and talk more, just go back to your own home, do you know?" Don't let the uncle who pulled the cart see how different you are from your usual life. ”
The three of them often discuss "big things" at home, Kong Xinggang and Yu Mingyan have also experienced such a scene, although they are even more curious and have more doubts, but Kong Xinggang and Yu Mingyan still nodded very firmly.
Yu Mingyue relieved a little at this time, pulled Kong Xinggang and said softly: "The uncle who pulls the cart has been waiting for so long, and after a while, uncle, you will pay him 5 dimes, and let him pull some more goods for us, and then he will collect as much as he wants." ”
"Still pulling" Kong Xinggang asked in surprise, just halfway through the question, he was busy and stopped his voice, seeing Yu Mingyue's cautious face, although he was puzzled, he hurriedly said: "I know, I know, I won't let others see that I have ruined our business." ”
Kong Xinggang has somewhat understood, I am afraid that Yu Mingyue has somewhere to get melon seeds and other goods in the city, although he is surprised, but a lot of banknotes are about to arrive, at this critical juncture, where does Kong Xinggang still have the heart to investigate, in his opinion, he will know sooner or later anyway.
Kong Xinggang's excitement and doubts did not decrease, but he was born a little slippery head, and when he turned his head to see Song San, who was standing on the side of the road a few meters away, obviously listening to the three of them, Kong Xinggang frowned quietly and slightly, and then pulled out the 5 dimes in his hand distressedly, and walked over as usual.
"Uncle old watch, please wait for so long, this is the 5 jiao freight just now, can you help me pull some more goods?" This man is at most a few years older than himself, and it is too much of a loss to call himself an uncle like Xiao Yue.
Seeing the 5 dimes that Kong Xing just handed over, Song San shook his head: "Little brother, I just said that I only charge 3 jiao, I can't charge more at this time, where do you want to say it, I'll go and pull it, or 3 jiao a trip, and then we can count the money together." ”
Song San is an authentic Sichuan native and will not call Lao Biao like this, but Kong Xinggang, who was born in the border area of Yunnan and Sichuan, still understands. "Oh, thank you, old man."
People are willing to charge less, but they can't blame themselves. Saving 2 dimes, Kong Xinggang thanked him very happily, but he didn't know where he was going, he was anxious, but he pretended to look back at Yu Mingyue very normally.
"Xiaoyue, Xiaoyan, don't stand, let's go pull the goods."
Uncle is really smart!
"Okay, here." Yu Mingyue responded crisply, pulled Yu Mingyan and took the lead to run north along the side of the road. This road is north-south, before they came from the south station, but the rented house has to walk more than 30 meters to the north, and then go to a fork in the west side, 20 meters away can be reached, and the acquisition station is just built side by side, but the rented house is next to the river.
Yu Mingyan has always been a little tail, so she didn't ask much at this time, and cheered happily while running: "Hehe, it's good to sell the goods, Xiaoyue, don't forget that we're going to sell new clothes for a while, hehe"
Pulling goods and selling them for money, more money, of course, she has to buy new clothes for the New Year, she hasn't worn new clothes for a long time. Yu Mingyan's mind is as simple as that.
Kong Xinggang was already a slippery head, and at a glance, he knew that Yu Mingyue was leading the way, so he didn't say much, he ran directly into the tricycle and said to Song San: "Old Watch, just follow my niece, I'll take a breath in your car, hehe." ”
"Hey, okay, my car is also a puller on weekdays."
Song San didn't doubt it, and directly followed Yu Mingyue and Yu Mingyan on the three wheels, and saw Yu Mingyue running in front, and it didn't take long for him to go to the west and fork in the road, and Song San also followed.
It was only a few minutes, and when she arrived at the gate of the house rented from the Zhang family, Yu Mingyue took out the key and opened the door without entering, and directly took Song San to look around and gave Kong Xinggang a look.
Kong Xinggang is also a human being, and he often takes Yu Mingyue to catch fish and birds, how could he not understand what Yu Mingyue means, so he opened his mouth directly, asked Song San to wait outside, and directly followed Yu Mingyue into the door, and closed the courtyard door.
While walking towards the three bungalows, Kong Xinggang looked at the things in the courtyard in surprise, and followed to the door of one of the rooms, and saw that Yu Mingyue took the key to open the door again, so he couldn't help it anymore.
"Xiaoyue, what's going on, whose house is this? Do you really have the goods here? Kong Xing was about to ask much more than that, although he was surprised and curious at this time, his voice was still very low.
The former residence of this Zhang family, although there are not many houses, but the yard is very large, and the red brick wall is also very high, Yu Mingyue is not worried about what Song San will hear outside the courtyard, so she opened the door and talked about the matter in general, of course, these words are half true and false, she has been a master of nonsense over the years, even if she makes it up, it will not leave hidden dangers for the future.
The two people next to him exclaimed and listened again and again, Yu Mingyan didn't need a reason to believe it, but Kong Xinggang had already seen the thousands of catties of mountain goods in the two rooms, and he was still a little puzzled and a little unbelievable.
"Xiaoyue, how much private money do you have, we used to sell pine nuts, but it's not cheap, I can't count how much it costs to buy these things, how can you do it? And this house, people will really rent it to you? How old are you~"
Hearing Kong Xinggang's voice and asking some doubts, Yu Mingyue felt that her head hurt.
"Hey, uncle, I don't know that there is a thing called a calculator now, and when you use the calculator to calculate, you will know how much money you want to give to others, and over the years, I have really saved a lot of money, and I still have a place to borrow money, but this is my secret and that of others, and I can't tell you. If I hadn't felt that these things were sold cheaply by that person, I would have borrowed money to collect them, and I asked that person to write a list when I received them, and I would never have been deceived. ”
Yu Mingyue snapped and said everything that might be asked one by one, and took out a list from her coat pocket and handed it directly to Kong Xinggang.
Although Kong Xinggang is only a primary school graduate in the village school, he can be regarded as literate, Yu Mingyue has not yet studied, and now no one knows her handwriting, Kong Xinggang only thinks that the words on this list are very beautiful and good-looking, and he believes Yu Mingyue's words.
"Xiaoyue, but this has cost 2,560 yuan, who can borrow so much money"
Without waiting for Kong Xing to finish asking, Yu Mingyue interrupted with a anxious face: "Uncle, people said that it was a secret, and the uncle who wanted to help us pull the goods was still waiting outside, and when the purchase station sold out of pine nuts, what do you want to ask?" "If you keep asking, it's really endless.
This is really useful, when Kong Xinggang heard it, although he was curious, he didn't ask more about it, but he only said: "Yes, there are still people waiting, so many things don't know how much to pull, so close, it should be negotiated with the three-wheeler." ”
As soon as Kong Xing finished speaking, he rushed out of the door in a hurry, Yu Mingyue shook his head, and didn't care about him anymore. After all, the distance is close, even if you only plan to sell half of it, but there are a lot of these things, and the shipping cost should be cheaper.
Moving bags of forty or fifty pounds of goods, Yu Mingyue couldn't do it, such a heavy thing, if she didn't rely on the space to carry it, she couldn't move it at all, so she had to be in the house first, pick up the pile of pine nuts, and prepare to dry them for a few days to fry, after all, the pine nuts were only half-dry.
When Kong Xinggang came back again, he was obviously very happy, and without waiting for anyone to ask, he directly said that he had already negotiated the price, and it only cost 2 yuan to transport it ten times.
As soon as Yu Mingyue saw it, she knew what her brother-in-law had in mind, and she definitely planned to transport more than a dozen bags of things every time, and transport all these goods 10 times, looking at Kong Xinggang's excitement of taking a big advantage, Yu Mingyue couldn't cry or laugh.
"Uncle, today we only sell half of the goods, and the remaining half of the pile is like melon seeds and peanuts, or boiled or fried before selling, and the price will definitely be higher."
"Huh?" Kong Xinggang screamed in frustration: "Why didn't you say it earlier, no, no, I have to negotiate again." After speaking, he pulled his legs and ran out again, but was stopped by Yu Mingyue.
"Okay, uncle, move things out, and let him have less when the bill is checked, others earn coolie money, and then wait for the acquisition station to get off work, we don't want to sell goods today."
Although the reason is a bit far-fetched, Kong Xinggang listened to it in his heart, although he kept telling him that he must not forget to bargain for less money, and he could not let people know that there were still goods left at home, so as to save someone from worrying about such words, he began to carry the goods to the door.
In this regard, Yu Mingyue will not object, she didn't let the man who pedaled three wheels come in before, she just didn't want people to know that there were still goods in this courtyard where no one lived, which could make many people covetous.
Song San is a discerning one, the main family didn't let him in at first, and later saw that Kong Xinggang kept carrying the goods out, although he wanted to help, but he was only by the door, he would take the goods that Kong Xinggang carried, and he didn't visit the door much.
Yu Mingyue has always been cautious, and she has been carefully observing for a while, and only then did she let go of Song San, who was very honest and honest.
The pine nuts were transported to the door of the acquisition station, and Song San helped carry a bag into the receiving hall first, and Wu Feng, who was about to take a nap, suddenly came to his senses.
"Oh, young man, why did you meet again, what are you?" Looking at the goods in front of him, and glanced at the seven or eight bags of things pulled by the tricycle on the side of the road outside the door, Wu Feng was not only happy, but also a little puzzled, didn't he say that there was no goods earlier, what is this doing?
Seeing the "acquaintance", Kong Xinggang didn't recognize his life anymore, and said with a simple smile: "There are still some pine nuts at home that have also come to the city, and they are doing it, but they are not doing it very well, Leader Wu, can you help accept it?" ”
When carrying the bag, because the rope of one of the bags was not tied tightly, Kong Minggang had already found that the pine nuts were only half dry, but he didn't dare to say it at this time, he thought that this Wu Feng was the big leader in the acquisition station, and there was a bit of stuttering in his tone, hoping that Wu Feng could open the side in vain, and don't accept the pine nuts at a lower price.
