Chapter 19 Small business is also a business
From day to night, even at dinner time, Tang Zhenguo did not say a word to Tang Chendong again.
The next day was the day of the market in the town, Tang Zhenguo, who originally picked red peppers and went to the town to sell them for retail purposes, did not go to the market after getting up, no matter what, he had to let his son go back today!
"Xiaodong, can't you go back?" Tang Zhenguo had breakfast and called Tang Chendong under the eaves.
"Dad, my return to my hometown to start a business is also a way to get rich, why can't I stay at home! Now that so many college students have started their own businesses and become rich, and have embarked on a development path that suits them, I can't do anything! ”
"I don't care about others, I can't say no! Are you going back today? ”
"I'm not going back!" Tang Chendong knew that his father would resist, he didn't expect his father's resistance to be so big, there was no room for negotiation at all. He did get hurt!
He knew that no one would be able to understand this decision! Standing in someone else's position, it is these young people who dare to break through, but standing in their own position, their son is smearing his own face!
Tang Zhenguo saw that his son seemed to be really iron-hearted, so he angrily went upstairs and dragged his son's luggage down and threw it in the courtyard, "You're not leaving, are you?" If you don't leave, you won't want to enter this house! ”
Tang Chendong didn't expect his father to really drive him away, "Dad! ”
"Zhenguo, what are you doing, my son just came back, I have something to say! What to throw things at! Zhou Lifen hurriedly pulled her son's trolley box back.
At this time, the neighbors in the yard were all ready to go to the market, passing by Tang Zhenguo's house, seeing that Tang Zhenguo seemed to be tense, and the atmosphere was very wrong, and then he saw Tang Zhenguo with anger on his face and Tang Chendong who was speechless.
"Sangou'er, didn't you leave the day before yesterday, why did you come back today?"
In line with the tradition that the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, Zhou Lifen silently pulled the luggage back to the house.
Tang Zhenguo looked at his son who didn't say a word, didn't take the red pepper anymore, didn't drive the motorcycle, and went straight to the town, "If I come back and see you, let's go to the town government to break away from the father-son relationship, what do you like!" ”
Tang Chendong knew that his father was a man who could do what he said, and he suddenly didn't know if his decision was really correct, if that space could not bring him the opportunity to create a wealth as he expected, then it would undoubtedly be a bad decision for him to choose to come back. Because then he will be able to achieve nothing.
Zhou Lifen knew that the current situation had to be eased up, "Xiaodong, you pull the red pepper to the town to sell it, I'll come later!" ”
Although Tang Chendong can drive a motorcycle, but he is not very good, there are two or three kilometers of road from home to the town, all dirt roads, fortunately the road is relatively flat, although it is a dirt road, but the gravel is paved better, with Tang Chendong's technology, nothing will happen.
Tang Chendong couldn't think about anything else for the time being, he agreed to come down and tie two baskets of red peppers to both sides of the motorcycle.
"Qian'er, you can walk with my mother! I'm not good at taking people on motorcycles! ”
Leng Qian'er knew that the family was a little sulking at this moment, so she nodded, "Brother Chendong, I'll come with my aunt!" ”
After knowing Leng Qian'er's situation, Tang Chendong and his mother Zhou Lifen had already said that Leng Qian'er was a distant cousin who came to play for two days during the summer vacation!
Because some of the red peppers will be delivered to the city tomorrow, it is not all that was picked yesterday when it is brought to the town and sold. Tang Chendong rode his motorcycle towards the town, and met his father who was in a hurry on the side of the road, but he didn't say anything.
Tang Zhenguo was angry at this moment, and he didn't pay attention to his son.
When he came to the town's farmers' market, Tang Chendong found a stall to put the 40 catties of red peppers in place!
Nowadays, there are very few young people at home, and there are not many middle-aged people at home, and more are elderly people over 60 years old, so many elderly people are used to planting some vegetables to sell in the market in exchange for some oil and salt money.
Therefore, in a small Shiqiao Town, there are a lot of people who do side dish trading!
There are several restaurants that sell red peppers and green peppers.
Fortunately, Tang Chendong learned e-commerce and knows a little bit about marketing, at least he is not afraid to shout at his own things.
A young man, not outstanding in appearance, but okay, actually stood in the middle of a bunch of old men to sell some side dishes, which is rare in Shiqiao Town.
So, there are many people who are curious to ask.
"Eldest sister, our red pepper is not pesticides, it is all farm fertilizer, you see a big full, beautiful color, six yuan a pound is not expensive at all!"
The sweet peppers and green peppers that the vegetable vendors in the town who make a living by selling vegetables from the county are almost the same price, and of course Tang Chendong can only be at this price!
Tang Chendong, who was not embarrassed, was full of enthusiasm to promote his own red peppers, and in less than an hour, he sold most of the red peppers, leaving only the last ten catties.
"Huh! Chendong, why are you here? Tang Chendong was looking down to sort out the red peppers, and as soon as he looked up, he saw a middle-aged woman looking at him in dismay.
"Teacher Chen!" Tang Chendong knew that he had to meet acquaintances in this town, but he didn't expect to meet Chen Hongping, the head teacher of the junior high school. Although he was determined to create a career in the countryside, after all, he had just returned from the city, and his mentality had never been adjusted, so he felt a little embarrassed at this time, so he had to mutter, "I'll help my dad sell these red peppers." ”
"Oh! I met your dad a few days ago and told your dad that the red pepper is ripe, and I want to buy some! Didn't your dad tell you? ”
Tang Chendong shook his head, "Teacher Chen, how much do you want?" ”
"Twenty pounds, I'm going to make a little pickled pepper, and then make a little pickled pepper! Leave some of it to dry for seasoning! ”
"I'm sorry, my dad didn't tell me, I only have ten pounds left! There is still a little bit at home, it seems that my father left a few customers in the county, I don't know if there is a leave for Mr. Chen! ”
"Oh, I'm not in a hurry, it's really sold out, just leave me another twenty catties if there is a ripe one another day!"
Tang Chendong hurriedly packed two or three catties of red peppers in a plastic bag and handed them to Chen Hongping, "Teacher Chen, you accept it!" ”
"How embarrassing is this, how much is a pound, I'll weigh a little and go back to stir-fry at noon to make seasonings, right?"
"It's all grown by your own family, Mr. Chen, you can accept it!"
Chen Hongping shook her head, "No, your father is so hardworking!" You weigh it, or I don't want it! ”
Tang Chendong had no choice but to pass the scales, "Two catties and three taels, even if two catties are good!" Five dollars a pound! ”
"Okay! That's ten bucks! You take it! ”
Chen Hongping took the red pepper and held it in her hand, "Chendong, I heard that you work in Ningyun City, it's not bad, right?" Do a good job, these disciples of the teacher, the teacher hopes that all of them will succeed! ”
Tang Chendong's face flushed slightly, he is out of class now, and he is ready to come back to be a farmer, besides, even if the previous class is not very good, there are still very few people who are mixed up! are still working their lives.
"Thank you, Mr. Chen! I'll do my best! ”
Tang Chendong has always respected the homeroom teacher of the third year of junior high school, the homeroom teacher treats all the students better, plus he was a little naughty when he was in school but his academic performance was good, and Mr. Chen also likes him!
"Then I'll go buy some other food, you're busy!"
"Goodbye, Mr. Chen!"
Tang Chendong sent Teacher Chen away, and after a while, a few more people came to weigh all the red peppers. He cleaned up the mess! As I was about to leave, the caretaker in charge of the town's farmers' market came to collect the sanitation bill.
"Two dollars for sanitation!"
Tang Chendong had actually set up a stall with his father before, and he also knew the truth of health expenses, so he didn't say anything, gave him two yuan, and got a receipt back!
After putting away the things and tying them to the motorcycle, Tang Chendong saw the back of his father who turned around and left, and he suddenly felt that his eyes were red!
Is it unfilial piety to stand up to your father like this?
