Zhang Qiusheng was amused when he saw this person like this. He was born as a bitter child for both lives, and he had a natural compassion for the poor. Seeing that this man had occupied his stall, he had no intention of coming back. However, this person is not virtuous, everyone does business together, they are originally neighbors and everyone is harmonious, and the business is easy to do and comfortable. If such a person comes in and fights and quarrels if they don't agree with each other, then the deal won't last long. You have to set up a little Wei for him, don't be domineering here.

Thinking of this, Zhang Qiusheng snatched the wok and spoon from this person's hand. This person was banging on the pot and spoon, spitting stars and fighting fiercely, and suddenly a light pot and spoon in his hand were gone. The man's expression was in a trance, his hands sank, and the pot and spoon returned. This person turned out to be a middle-level cadre in the factory, where was he subjected to such teasing. In his heart, he shouted angrily, "I'll put -".

Before he finished speaking, his hand was light, and the pot and spoon were gone. After another trance, his hand sank again, and the pot and spoon came back. The man looked at the pot and spoon in his hand, shook his head, threw the pot and spoon on the stall, and said in a long voice: "Alas, it's ——,, it's enough." If I am not incompetent, it is the heavens that want to destroy me! ”

said to Zhang Qiusheng again: "I'll let you, right?" ”

Zhang Qiusheng saw that this person was funny, and he didn't seem to be a vicious person, so he said to him: "Did I say I wanted you to let him?" ”

"Huh? You didn't say it? The man scratched his head, and on second thought, it seemed that he had not said it. This kid hasn't said a word since he got here, he's dancing with a spoon and making a pot.

Continue to scratch your scalp. It's so embarrassing, he's a child, but he's an adult. The children and the harmony haven't said anything since the beginning of the fight, but they are about to fight with the pot and spoon, what is this called? When did I get so muddy? The man fell into deep introspection.

It turned out that this person's surname was Yue, called Yue Yiming, who was the chief of the technical section of the Municipal Agricultural Machinery Factory, graduated from the Provincial University of Technology with a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, and was the first batch of college students after the college entrance examination. After graduation, he went to the agricultural machinery factory as a technician, and in the mid-to-late eighties, the state began to evaluate the technical title, and he was rated as the chief of the engineer technical section. It seems that everything is very good, but before you know it, the factory is not good. Products cannot be sold, and now it is a commodity economy, unlike the previous planned economy, where factories only produce and do not sell. Finally, the product was sold, but the payment could not be recovered, so it was better not to sell.

This situation is not one of their factories, and this phenomenon is very common throughout the country. As a result, the state came out of the policy of shutting down, stopping, merging, and transferring. The so-called closure refers to the long-term loss and debt of the factory, and the product is not marketable, that is, the cancellation of enterprises in the period of planned economy or bankruptcy in the period of market economy; The so-called shutdown is similar to the shutdown, but it does not close the factory but stops production and waits for work; And it is the merger of several businesses; The transfer is the transfer of the factory to the operation.

The agricultural machinery factory fought for a stop with great difficulty, and temporarily stopped production in order to make a comeback. At that time, the workers of the factory were very happy, and they saw a glimmer of light in the end of the factory, and they said that we can overcome the temporary difficulties, as long as the factory does not fall, there will always be a day to turn over. This is the simplicity of the working class, who always regard themselves as the masters of the factory, and think about the leaders of the factory.

It didn't take long for workers to realize that the shutdown might as well be closed. Employees can be reassigned to other businesses in closed companies, and this shutdown seems to be far away. At the beginning, 70 percent of the salary was paid, but within two months it was changed to 50 percent, and then it was changed to a little living allowance, which was not a few tens of percent. At that time, there was no such thing as laid-off, all of them were called workers on standby, and all the people in the agricultural machinery factory were waiting for their posts at home.

As a middle-level cadre in the factory, Yue Yiming was fine at the beginning, and when he entered the left-behind team, he received 20 percent more than ordinary workers. There are several shops in the factory for rent, and there is money to quietly sell machine equipment. In addition to eating and drinking, the secretary of the factory director also took the left-behind middle level to divide a little. When the equipment was almost sold, it said that there were many people in the left-behind team, what do you want many people to watch in a smooth and slippery factory?

Yue Yiming's hard days began. At first, the private bosses in the south personally invited him, but he did not go. Many people in the factory have gone to the south, and many people persuade him to go with him. He was unmoved, as a party member and an employee of a state-owned enterprise, he had a strong sense of consciousness. He had a whole set of ideas, thinking that as long as he followed his ideas, the factory would definitely come back to life. It's a pity that his ideas are not birds at all. The secretary of the factory director is trying to transfer to other enterprises to continue to be an official, how can he have time to pay attention to his nerd reform plan?

Then he cried and shouted that his wife, who was not married to him, ran away, and scolded him for being useless before leaving. I can't go if I want to go now, where are the old and the young going?

When people memorize words, their temper grows. I have a belly full of fire in my heart, and I catch who quarrels with whom, and I arrest who scolds whom. This is not? I did it with Zhang Qiusheng.

Yue Yiming figured out his own problem, and hurriedly apologized to Zhang Qiusheng: "I'm sorry, little brother." It's the eldest brother, no, I'll make room for you. ”

Zhang Qiusheng stopped him and said, "Don't, big brother." It's such a big place on the left and right, it's the same everywhere, I'll go up there. As he spoke, he pointed to a place a few dozen meters on the opposite side. I didn't listen to what Yue Yiming said, and pushed the three wheels backwards by myself.

Zhang Qiusheng really doesn't care much about whether the stall is a little front or a little back, he has old customers these days, and with the maintenance of these old customers, he is better to do this business, who cares about the distance of dozens of meters.

Grandpa came early, and the old man came every once in a while. Since many of his neighbors have joined the barbecue industry, he has taken the bus with a few children every time he comes. Some neighbors come with their whole family, and they don't have to step on three wheels all of them, so they take the bus with their grandfather. If Grandpa hadn't stopped him just now, the neighbors would have already started a fight with Yue Yiming. Seeing Qiusheng's handling of the stall being occupied, Grandpa was very happy, and the two children grew up sensible.

As soon as Zhang Qiusheng's stall was set up, customers came to the door. It's an old customer, named Lu Keqian. Young people in their twenties, sometimes in groups of people, sometimes alone.

Zhang Qiuran brought the grilled meat skewers, crucian carp, and cabbage, and opened a bottle of beer for Lu Keqian.

Lu Keqian was not in a hurry to eat and drink, and said to Zhang Qiusheng: "You're done, come over and have a drink, I have something to say to you." ”

Zhang Qiusheng didn't know what he had to say, so he put down what he was doing and came over to sit down opposite him.

The summer evening breeze blows gently, lovers hug each other and pass by in front of the stall, a young woman takes her husband's arm in one hand and a child in the other, the biological clock is confused and occasionally makes a long hiss, and the branches and leaves of the street trees flutter softly in the light. On a summer evening, sitting under a tree and enjoying a cold beer is a great way to sit in the breeze.

Lu Wuqian comfortably drank a beer with ice water from the well, looked at Zhang Qiusheng and said, "It seems that you are the youngest here, but everyone thinks that you are the head of the horse, and you are their head." ”

Zhang Qiusheng couldn't stand this kind of compliment, and just wanted to say a few kind words, Lu Keqian stopped him and said, "You're welcome, I've seen it." The handling of the stall just now also shows that your child is self-contained and generous, and he is a material for doing great things. Big brother has something I want to discuss with you. Okay, you just say yes. No, that's okay. ”

Zhang Qiusheng didn't squeak, looked at him quietly, and waited for the following.

Lu Keqian drank the beer in his glass, burped and said, "Brother is about to go abroad, I took the TOEFL test last year, and I will wait until this year." The formalities are almost done, and now the money is short. Thirty thousand—"

As soon as Lu Keqian said this, there was a loud scolding in front of him. Listen carefully, it's Yue Yiming's stall, and the guests think that his beer is not icy and is making noise.

Qiu Ran did not hesitate to take three bottles of beer over and replace the three bottles of beer that had not yet been opened. Three customers touched the bottle with their hands and found that it was ice, and there was nothing to say. When he looked up and saw Qiu Ran who was about to leave, one of them immediately said "Huh", and then said, "Beauty, why are you leaving?" Come on, have a drink with my brother. ”

The other two also said: "Yes, come and have a drink with my brother, it's okay if it's not icy." ”

Qiu Ran didn't even look at them, turned around and left. My brother is here, so she's not afraid of these hooligans.

Seeing Qiu Ran ignoring them, a hooligan immediately grabbed her. Qiu Ran's wrist twisted and swung to break free. This is what her brother taught her. The younger brother said that the place where the thumb and index finger intersect is the weakest grip strength, and a slight twist towards this place can break free from the hooligan's pull. Sure enough.

These three customers weren't hooligans, they were just gangsters. Seeing that they didn't hold the beauty, the three of them stood up together and surrounded Qiu Ran.

The neighbors gathered around, and Deng Fatzi and Wang Changqing were about to do it. Zhang Qiusheng stopped them and said, "Sister, there are also Erya and Lin Ling, the three of you, one against one, try first." ”

Everyone was taken aback and let the girls fight? There are so many gentlemen here, how can you let girls fight?

Zhang Qiusheng said: "Only through actual combat can there be progress in martial arts. Where can I find such a good human flesh sandbag? Let go of your hands and feet, I'm here. ”

When the three girls heard this, they immediately became energetic. I'm worried about where to find someone to practice, and now it's sent to the door, but I can't let it go.

The three girls immediately stepped forward, and each of them picked one to fight. Anyway, you only win and don't lose, and you play with your hands and feet open. Qiu Ran kicked his opponent's crotch first, and the thug crashed into the telephone pole and collapsed to the ground. Qiu Ran followed and planned to stomp again, but she was soft-hearted, so she just made a stomping stamping pose. The onlookers cheered Qiu Ran loudly on the side: "Ran Ran kicked him, kicked him doggy." "Ranran, stomp on his ribs, stomp on a few ribs of the dog's day, and see if he dares to play hooligan in the future."

One of the little thugs rolled around, got up, and left the other two without righteousness.

Now Erya and Lin Ling's morale was greatly boosted. Lin Ling twisted the wrist joint with a lock hand, and the movements were not very standardized, but the thug's forehead was sweating. Lin Ling followed the advice of the revolutionary masses and added a kick to the gangster's abdomen, and the gangster fell to the ground. The thug got up, and ran away with his companion in the same senseless manner.

Almost at the same time, Er Ya also punched the opponent's left cheek, which was supposed to hit the temple, but he didn't hit the cheek, and the strength was not enough. In this way, the gangsters also had gold stars in their eyes, and before they came to their senses, Er Ya hit the opponent's nose with another fist. I still didn't hit my temples, I didn't even hit my cheeks, I only wiped my nose. But the gangsters were even more uncomfortable, and all the snot and tears came out. Accomplices are running, if you don't run at this time, when will you wait? The bastard wanted to run, but Wang Changqing grabbed him and said, "Want to run?" The dishes are all fried, and if you don't eat them, you have to pack them and take them away. ”

Yue Yiming didn't have a fast food box, so someone handed him one. At this time, the fast food box was not yet popular, and it was still brought back by Qiusheng Torin Ling's father in the south. Yue Yiming didn't overcharge the gangsters, and packed the gangsters at the original price for him to take away.

Several girls high-fived each other excitedly, the first time they got into a fight when they were so big, they actually won, and the fight was still a man, a big hooligan. In fact, it's just a gangster, girl, and it's natural to exaggerate the results. Several girls are chattering together to release their excitement, and people who have nothing to do, including customers, also join in and blow nonsense.

When Qiu Ran returned to his stall, he found that his younger brother and Lu Keqian were still talking.

Lu Keqian took the TOEFL test and wanted to go abroad, but he lacked 30,000 yuan and wanted to sell his extra house. It's the house behind Zhang Qiusheng's stall now, otherwise why would he eat barbecue here every day?

In those days, what was bought could not be bought, what was sold could not be sold, and the market economy was not yet fully developed. It is said that he crossed the river by feeling the stones, but many people, including the country, have not yet entered the water. Unlike the intermediaries that are all over the street in the 21st century, you can find an intermediary if you can't buy it, and you can find an intermediary if you can't sell it.

Lu Keqian said: "More than 100 square meters, and there is a small courtyard of more than 30 square meters and a kitchen at the back. It's such a price, I think it's expensive, it's a favor for you. I think it's cheap, don't thank my brother, my brother is willing to fight. You can go and see it now, turn around, the real estate certificate and land certificate are there. ”

Zhang Qiusheng was pondering, this price will be doubled in a few years, no, it will definitely be doubled in two or three years. He pondered where to find the buyer for the copper rods buried in the garbage dump.

Copper rods are absolutely in short supply, and I don't know how many companies in the country are having headaches for the lack of copper rods. But this is the same as Lu Keqian's house, you can't buy what you buy, and you can't sell what you sell.

Zhang Qiusheng said, "Big brother, can you wait a few days?" I'm going to find a way to raise money. ”

"Okay," Lu Keqian said, "I only have one month, and I can wait for you for half a month." Because I have to leave half a month to go through the procedures, if you can't, I'll find someone else. ”

"Okay," Zhang Qiusheng said: "Within half a month, I will give you an accurate word, and I will never delay the eldest brother's business." ”

Lu Keqian was in a good mood, drained the wine in the cup in one gulp, and pulled Zhang Qiusheng to see the house.

He said it was behind the stall, but the door was open in the alley that turned in front of him. It is a house in the form of a courtyard house in Beijing, with a total of two households, and the windows of Lu Keqian's house face the street. In the middle is a courtyard of more than 70 square meters, but it has been divided into two halves with flower beds, and a stall of 30 square meters looks. The house in front of each house is returned to each family, and then there is the gate on one side, and the walk to the gate is divided into two rooms, and it is also a stall of more than 30 square meters, which is the kitchen. The main house has four rooms of more than 100 square meters, the living room is about 40 square meters, and the rest of the rooms are about 20 square meters.

The property right certificates were all shown to Zhang Qiusheng. Lu Keqian said: "Originally, there were kitchens and toilets," he pointed to the people opposite: "But when the housing reform was carried out in the 50s, somehow it was zoned to the opposite side." At most, there were 10 families living here, and in the early 80s, half of it was returned to my family after the policy was implemented. ”

This house is really not good, it's great. In another ten years, 30,000 yuan will not be able to buy one square meter of it. Zhang Qiusheng asked: "Big brother, will you come back when you go abroad?" ”

"Come back, of course come back," Lu Keqian said resolutely: "My ancestral grave is here, my father, mother, and sister are buried here, how can I not come back?" He sighed and looked twilight, but his tone was extremely firm.

"If you come back and find that the house price has gone up, up a lot, do you regret it?" Zhang Qiusheng's tone was stern and serious: "If this house is demolished and rebuilt due to urban reconstruction, but the house price is more than ten times the current one, do you regret it?" And where are you coming back to stay? Zhang Qiusheng has treated him as a friend, and he must tell the truth to his friends.

Lu Keqian said very sincerely: "The goods are sold at the current price, and there is no regret or regret." If the government wants to demolish and rebuild, there will be no work to talk about, what can we and the people say about what the government decides? I still have a place to live when I come back, where can I just have this property? ”

The two of them made up their minds. Before breaking up, Lu Keqian was not at ease and asked again: "Little brother, how sure are you that you will raise money in half a month?" ”

Zhang Qiusheng replied: "Eighty percent, because I have one thing, just sell it." ”

Lu Keqian was completely relieved. Zhang Qiusheng returned to the stall while thinking about where to find the buyer of the copper rod.

There were five customers sitting in the stall, Zhang Qiuran had already prepared the dishes, and the customers were eating and drinking. Grandpa probably saw that his granddaughter was idle, and he was holding her to lecture. Grandpa never relied on the old and sold the old in front of others, but his grandchildren should still be trained.

"Ran'er, it's good for a girl to learn some martial arts to defend herself. But don't just cause trouble, girls have to be like girls. You must know that there are mountains outside the mountains, and you may not be able to take it if you cause an accident, and you will be the one who suffers at that time. You know? ”

Just now, Zhang Qiuran and a few gangsters were fighting, and others were happy to see it, but grandpa was worried. If you don't say a few words to her, it will be like this outside in the future. Grandpa is old and fine, and he can see at a glance that those few are not big hooligans but just gangsters. If you run into a real hooligan, you just think you are great, how can you just go up and fight like this? If a boy is a big deal, he will be beaten, but then he will be a girl. Grandpa didn't dare to think about it.

Zhang Qiuran was in excitement all night, so many days of hard training finally came to fruition, and she was able to fight, but it was still a man. Hahahaha, it's nice to think about.

This was poured down by grandpa like a basin of cold water, and after thinking about it quietly, grandpa was right. It was just a few gangsters, and the five of them that day were the real hooligans. If you encounter a situation like that day again, the first priority is to run away, and the second is to call the police. Well, there's one more sport to add from tomorrow, long-distance running.

After figuring it out, he stood in front of his grandfather and obediently said, "Yes, grandpa, I was wrong." Don't dare again. ”

Zhang Qiusheng saw that his sister was being trained, and immediately wanted to sneak away. Although the grandfather is old and dizzy, his grandson will not be mistaken, and he shouted softly: "Qiu'er, where to run!" ”

Standing in a row with her sister obediently, grandpa said, "Qiu'er, it's right for you to teach your sister to practice martial arts." If you encounter any bad guys, you can deal with them. But you shouldn't have asked your sister and Erya Lingling to fight today! If they have the illusion that they are great, and when they meet bad people in the future, they don't know how to run, they don't know how to call people, do you know how dangerous it is? Can you be by your sister's side all the time? Even if you can be by your sister's side, can you be by Erya Lingling's side all the time? Yes! Aren't you hurting them? ”

After all, the grandson is a boy, and he is much stricter with boys than with girls. Zhang Qiusheng bowed his head and admitted his mistake, not daring to say anything. Fortunately, someone came to call grandpa to go home together, and the bus was gone when it was late. Otherwise, I don't know how long I will be penalized.

The five customers next to him looked at the sister and brother in amazement, where can they find such a good boy now? came out to earn money at such a young age, and grandpa spoke so lightly, and the two children stood there respectfully and listened. Damn, if my child is like this, Lao Tzu is willing to die of exhaustion outside.

When I got home, my grandfather didn't sleep, but sat on a chair and waited for the siblings to come back.

The sister and brother didn't know what was going on, so they put down their things and stood beside their grandfather. Grandpa asked: "Qiu'er, you promised someone to buy a house, but 30,000 yuan, where do you get it?" ”

Zhang Qiusheng had already thought that his grandfather would ask this, but he couldn't tell his grandfather, someone else stole a batch of copper rods, and I stole them back, this batch of copper rods is worth forty or fifty thousand, and if you sell it, you can buy the house back? You have to make up a lie that can be fulfilled, this can't be called lying, telling the truth has to make grandpa angry.

The lie was thought of on the way.
