Chapter 65: Bumpy Days
Daddy Niu was desperate, so he had to sit outside the gate of the cattle farm, listlessly smoking dry tobacco. No one in the room dared to call him in. Xing Er went out to run errands and returned, Daddy Niu hugged his leg and shouted, "Leader Xing, Xing Xian's nephew, help." β
Xing Er told him to hold on to his legs, and he struggled a few times and couldn't break free, so he had to beckon and ask Duo'er to push the bicycle first. The bag in his hand also asked Duo'er to put it away. He sat opposite Niu Da, picked up a small stone at his feet, knocked on the pig iron kettle a few times, and teased: "It's quite durable, it's made of iron." β
Daddy Niu begged Xing Er to intercede with Aunt Qi and let Aunt Qi take him in.
Xing Er said: "I don't dare to say anything about this again, I was the guarantor last time, and Aunt Qi agreed to let you come to the door, who knows that your old boy is not angry, and he will embarrass me, and he will be beaten with chickens and eggs." I lost my job, I don't dare to use you anymore, Aunt Niu wants to take your salary, and Aunt Seventh has already had three chapters of the law first, you can tell me, who is the right salary for? In my opinion, you can't give it to anyone. Aunt Seventh is enthusiastic about you, your old boy is good, and asked the second aunt of the wife Niu to take her arm and go home. Aunt Qi is cold this time, and she is determined not to have any more contact with you. I don't dare to mobilize her to accept you again, I will definitely find a pump when I open my mouth. β
Daddy Niu pleaded pitifully, "What do you say I should do?" As he spoke, he handed the cigarette pouch full of tobacco leaves to Xing Shuang. Xing Er was born to pretend to be a big dog, took the cigarette pouch and put it in his mouth, Niu Daddy hurriedly drew a match and lit it for him, "Bar card" After a few bites, Xing Er gave Niu Daddy an idea, let him go to the hut on the side of the small pond to live first, and go to hoe and pull weeds when he is free. In a few days, Aunt Seven's anger is almost gone, and I will come forward to match the two of you again. But you can't do it with me anymore, you have to think of something that makes a lot of money but doesn't have to work hard. I estimate that as soon as you enter my factory to work, Aunt Niu will definitely come to ask for wages, in this case, Aunt Qi's anger will never be extinguished, and you will not be able to do your business.
Daddy Niu obeyed Xing Er's arrangement, and went to the bottom to live in his hut without mentioning it. Besides, Aunt Seven, she saw Xing Er and Daddy Niu muttering through the crack in the door, and knew Xing Er's intentions. Waiting for Xing Eryi to enter his office, Aunt Qi came into the room on her heels to show her position: "Niu Da's position is not firm, it is of the nature of a weed. I was determined not to ignore him. Before you intercede with him, please excuse yourself. β
Xing Er said: "Aunt Seven, how can I intercede for him, what he thinks is beautiful, I am full?" Let's get close, it's a matter of time before I get married to the baby, you are the baby's aunt. Can I eat the inside and out? Niu Dayang begged to stay in his original hut, and I agreed. Idle is idle anyway. Even if you promise him, I don't dare to be a guarantor anymore. This old guy might kill someone one day, and he'll have to go to jail with him. Xing Er said this, shaking his head vigorously.
Aunt Seven said: "Niu Da didn't dare to kill people, so I didn't go to cook and let's eat." β
From the moment Niu yelled at Aunt Niu to drag him away, Xing Er arranged for his eldest brother to take over the job of the janitor. Aunt Seven didn't work in the cattle farm before, but just helped, and Xing Er also arranged for her to cook this time. In the morning and evening, it is cooked for the four people inside, that is, Xing Er, Duo'er, Aunt Qi and Tian Baobao, and at noon they make a big pot of dishes for the masters who go to work, and the dry food masters bring their own.
The work went smoothly. The batch of chairs in the school hall has long been completed, and the wages have been settled. Xing Er listened to Tian Baobao's construction, and after the money was in hand, he took the initiative to go to Xu Guangda's house, and even Tian Baobao was waiting outside, and outsiders had no way of knowing what the brothers were doing. Anyway, a week later, the county government auditorium joint chair system zuΓ² project was handed over to Xing second-hand. And also paid a large amount of money in advance, and the timber index was also allocated to Xing Er's name at one time.
Hong Xing's son is sick and can't afford to see a doctor. Hong Xing hugged the child and wiped her tears to the cattle farm for help. Duo'er was afraid that Hong Xing would mention the matter of touching her thighs again in front of Tian Baobao, and as soon as Hong Xing entered the door, she stepped forward and took the initiative to block Hong Xing's mouth and said, "Sister Xing, you are a rare guest, do you have something to do?" β
With tears in her eyes, Hong Xing choked up with tears and said: "The child is sick and wants to go to the doctor with him, but the money is not enough, so I ask your brother to borrow some money so that I can go to the hospital to see a doctor."
Duo'er said, "I just got paid, is twenty yuan enough?" β
Hong Xing hurriedly said, "Enough, enough." Not enough to come back and get it. Duo'er stuffed the money into Hong Xing's hand and urged her to leave quickly, for fear of delaying the child's medical treatment.
Tian Baobao smiled and said, "It's a little interesting, it's a little interesting." On the second night of the day when Hong Xinglai came to borrow money, the county magistrate Hong took some boiled beef tendons and some ground beef to thank Xing Er. All four people in the cattle farm, the magistrate of Gahun, sat in a circle around the long table. Have a good drink.
After drinking, Xing Er invited County Magistrate Hong to the office for tea. County Magistrate Hong repeatedly thanked Xing Er for his kindness in treating the disease, and also thanked Duo'er for giving money to Hong Xing's child for treatment. He said sincerely: "Nephew Xingxian, we have been dating for several years, and we know each other well. My short-legged wife has done things that are sorry for you, and I am ashamed in front of you, and I have no shame to face you brothers and sisters. I have a problem that I can't solve, and I hope that my nephew will teach me.
Xing Er said: "You're welcome, just tell me." β
County Magistrate Hong blushed and said, "Please help me consult, my family situation, which direction should I go next?" My son-in-law Niu Er, as you know, has no strength, but he is simple-minded, he can work, but he can't use his brain. If you can't do business, you have to find a way to make money. At the moment, my family can't even come up with the money for the child's medical treatment, so I can't go on like this. Today, I also asked my nephew for guidance. β
Xing Er scratched his scalp, pondered for a while, and said tentatively: "Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. You analyze it, you can kill livestock, in the past, individuals were not allowed to kill pigs, I went to the market, and saw Li Si, who was kidnapping from the east, selling meat at the market. He said that he collected the pigs, which were equivalent to processing and selling. I estimate that a pig can earn fifteen yuan, which sells meat to earn ten yuan, boiled the pig and sells it to earn five yuan, like you, invest some money, ask Niu Er to push the cart, you follow behind, go to the villages to collect pigs, only one a day, go home in the afternoon to rest, tomorrow morning at dawn, after killing the pig, call Niu Er to the abduction market on the meat market, you set up a stall to sell meat. Let Xing Er clean the water, cook it in a big pot, and get it to the market to ask your wife to sell cooked goods, and you two will start with a ripe meal for a lifetime, and go out with a pig a day. Catch up with the festival, celebrate the festival every year, kill more and sell more. Now that the economy is going up, the people have money in their hands, and they eat more meat, and it happens that you have the craft of killing livestock. β
After Xing Er's dialing, County Magistrate Hong woke up like a dream. The road in front of me is open. yes, how did you forget your craft? His face was full of red light, and he slapped his head continuously, and Lang said, "Yes, yes." β
Xing Da listened to it next to him, and said with a smile to County Magistrate Hong: "It's almost the same as a dog when you go home." β
County Magistrate Hong was embarrassed and said: "Nephew Xing Xian, thank you for your great kindness, your idea is really high." But I don't have the capital to buy the first pig. β
Xing Er readily agreed to lend him money: "Two hundred yuan is enough." I'll lend it to you when you're gone, but there's one thing you have to promise and the money will be repaid in the future. I'm going to buy meat in the future, but you can't fool me. β
County Magistrate Hong responded again and again: "That's, that's." He quietly asked Xing Er: "Do you still do that job if I teach you?" β
Xing Er replied: "I respect Master's order, and I practice hard night and night." β
County Magistrate Hong nodded: "Hard training is a successful husband, art is not pressing, at a critical juncture, maybe I can save your life." β
Xing Da hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" Hong Xing and the others didn't answer, but pulled down with a mysterious smile.
After Niu Da moved into the hut where he used to live, he frowned all day long, and he didn't dare to go to the cattle farm, for fear of making Aunt Seven angry again. Whether it is hoeing or pulling weeds, it is common to often be in a daze and mistake crops for grass hoeing. He himself misses Aunt Qi and recalls Aunt Qi's meticulous care for him in the previous paragraph. Tears broke down in the night. But he is a person who can't speak, and he is not good at expressing his emotions. On this day, he finished hoeing Aunt Qi and was lowering his head to smoke and rest, when Aunt Qi suddenly appeared behind him.
The seventh aunt warned him: "Old Niu, it's in vain to hoe the ground for me, I won't leave you cold." I don't like the man who just died of that heart as soon as possible, and the man with a spindle in his waist. β
Niu Da was full of tears, he couldn't do it, Aunt Seven didn't appreciate it, he was very sad in his heart, he buried his head deep in his knees, lowered his head and didn't speak.
The seventh aunt said: "It's useless to pretend to be pitiful, I warn you, use less hoes to pull weeds and be courteous." I don't eat this set. Daddy Niu asked in a trembling voice: "What do you want me to do before you are willing to spare me this time?" It was the thief who dragged me home. Aunt Seven spat him: "Phew, the old love is unforgettable, and the coupling is broken, right?" If she doesn't kick you this time, you might be able to live with her, right? Find a wife with your brother, I'm phew! After speaking, he didn't look at Niu Da, turned around and walked away. Niu Da saw that Aunt Seven was so resolute, and he was extremely desperate. He lay on the ground, motionless. Unexpectedly, Aunt Qi did not go far, and was inspecting the crops in her field, she turned back to Niu Da, kicked the soles of Niu Da and said to him: "Pretending to be dead can't make me change my mind." Unexpectedly, her words angered Niu Da, he got up suddenly, stared at the bull's eyes, didn't move his hand, stretched his neck, and opened his mouth to bite Aunt Qi's calf. Seeing this, the seventh aunt screamed loudly: "The cow is crazy and wants to bite someone." He shouted and ran to the cattle farm.
Niu Da straightened his neck and chased after him with his mouth wide open. The two ran to the cattle farm one after the other.
Xing Da was guarding the door in the cattle farm and was responsible for security, he stepped forward to block Niu Da, and Aunt Qi took the opportunity to run into the room, close the door, and look out of the window.
Duo'er smiled and said, "Aunt Qi, don't you want to be cold to him, why are you still going to provoke him?" Provoke honest people to get angry. Xing Da Laniuda sat on a joint chair in the courtyard, and the two of them each took out their cigarette pouches and began to smoke. What the hell did the two say, Aunt Seven didn't hear it in the room. After a while, Niu Da left the cattle farm and returned to the field to continue hoeing, without going crazy.
After the second Hetian baby came back from going out to do business, he heard about it, and laughed, he understood that the seventh aunt still had Niu Da in her heart. It's just that I can't get up and down. Deliberately testing the cow daddy. After dinner, he sat on the masonry at the bottom of the mountain with Tian Baobao, as usual, to discuss the work of the carpentry factory and to say some affectionate words. When it came to Aunt Qi, Xing Er smiled and asked Tian Baobao's opinion: "Baby, I have a bold idea to let Aunt Qi earn more money, I don't know if she is willing?" β
Tian Baobao heard that she could make a lot of money for her aunt, of course she was willing in her heart, and her mouth was even sweeter: "Boss Xing, I have received your wishes, I will thank you for my aunt first." She quickly kissed Xing Ermian, and then asked, "I don't know what good idea you think, let my aunt make a lot of money, you might as well say it and listen to it." β
Xing Er said: "Not far from Brother Xu's school, there is a large farmers' market, which is built in the middle of the downtown area, surrounded by high-rise buildings, and many residential buildings scattered around, I estimate that this market has a bright future." is selling beach space, 3,000 yuan apiece, three-meter counter, buy early and pick a good location. We are here at the junction of urban and rural areas, and there are a lot of vegetables that grow vegetables, and if they are sold in the market, they must make a lot of money, but there are no stalls, and the urban management will not allow them to sell things. I asked about the market of eggs, and the market is basically a dime, and we have a crutch set of six cents a piece, and the difference in the middle is four cents. Eggs are more than ten pounds, and fifty pounds of eggs are collected from our abduction set, and they are pushed to the farmers' market with a trolley to sell, and the difference between four or fifty or twenty yuan is better than doing anything. Three days can earn a worker's wages. It's hard to find such a good thing with a lantern. What's more, an old woman is even difficult to farm, and she can't dream of earning 20 yuan a day. β
Tian Baobao said: "This is a great thing. There are two things that need to be met. One is the money to buy the stall, and the other is the means of transportation, which my aunt can't do with just two hands to get fifty catties of eggs to the farmers' market. She's not that big. β
Xing Er said: "Kiss me three more times, and I'll solve it." β
Tian Baobao smiled and slapped Xing Er's shoulder a few times with his hand, and instead of kissing Xing Er, he fell directly into his arms. Xing Er hugged Tian Baobao's face, stuck it to his heart, held Tian Baobao's soft and delicate hands and no longer spoke, but kissed her on Tian Baobao's forehead with his chinγγγγγγγ
It was late at night, Xing Er hugged Tian Baobao and walked back, kissing Tian Baobao's cheeks while walking, Tian Baobao did not resist, she felt that she was the happiest person tonight. Xing Er told SΓΉ Tian Baobao: "Let Aunt Seven come to me and ask for measures." Tian Baobao nodded in agreement.
The next morning, Xing Er, Tian Baobao, and Aunt Qi came to the farmers' market together. First, I walked around the entire market to familiarize myself with the general environment. Then the three of them squatted in front of several stalls selling eggs, carefully observing how people operated, how to bargain with Gu Yan, some sold by the catty, and some by the account, whether it was on the catty or the individual, the price was almost the same. In two hours, the egg sellers had sold all the baskets of eggs they had picked with their picks. According to the seventh aunt's estimate, they each sold sixty catties, the difference was similar to Xing Er's original investigation, a pound of eggs earned four cents, and after the actual situation was found out, it was noon, Xing Er, Tian Baobao, and Aunt Qi had a simple lunch at the small food stall outside the market. The three of them rushed back to the cattle farm and sat in Xing Er's office to discuss how to handle this matter.
The seventh aunt said; "As long as you buy a stall, you can do this business. It is not difficult to collect eggs on the abduction set. Those retail investors who sell eggs, as long as you buy them all at once, the price can't be high. β
Xing Er asked her, "What about transportation?" β
Aunt Qi said in embarrassment: "It's difficult for me to walk these roads every day, and I really can't do it with eggs." Whether you are tired or not is a trivial matter, in case you plant a heel and throw the egg basket out, and the good eggs are beaten into egg soup, but you will smash the pot. You have to lose money. β
Xing Er looked at Tian Baobao, Tian Baobao spread her hands, and shook her head to say that she couldn't think of a good way.
Aunt Qi said directly to Xing Er: "Er, if you think about this, you must have considered the matter of mature transportation." You definitely have a way around it. Say it, you don't need to hide it and tell us to guess. β
Xing Er said with a smile: "I said it, you can see if it's okay, my method is: ask Daddy Niu to use a small cart, put a wooden box here, hold seventy or eighty catties of eggs, and ask Aunt Seven to sit on it, the weight on both sides is about the same, and it is not too heavy." This is a temporary measure. Work for a few days to earn some money, buy a donkey cart, call Daddy Niu to drive the car, and pull Aunt Seven and eggs back and forth. Do you think this idea will work? Is it reliable? β
The seventh aunt pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay." But she put forward a condition: "Niu Da is just a worker, and he can't appear as the owner, so there is a benefit, and the second aunt Niu of the province will come to stir up trouble again." Doing business pays attention to harmony and making money, and if a woman who is messing around is mixed in, good things will not come to good results. As for whether the cow's salary is more or less, it is up to you to decide. β
Xing Er said: "Take care of food and housing, 60 yuan a month, do it, don't do it." β
Aunt Qi asked again: "What is the algorithm for this account between us?" When it comes to the bright place, we can do it if it is suitable, and if it is not suitable to break up in two, don't delay everyone to earn their own money. β
Xing Er stretched out three fingers: "I'll pay for it, you go and give me 30% of the profit." But there is one thing that must be mentioned in the front, the money I paid for the stall will always belong to me. In fact, we are two partners in business. Niu Da is the helper we hired by the two of us, to put it mildly, he is just a buddy. I'll go out for a spin, and you two have a good life here. I'll get a letter later. β
After the seventh aunt and Tian Baobao discussed, Xing Er's money was not too much to ask for 30% of the profit. It should be fair and reasonable. The mother also decided that if Niu Da didn't know how to lift and didn't do this, Tian Baobao decided to go home and mobilize her father to do this errand.
Xing Er asked Daddy Niu, and he agreed to do it one hundred times. In his mind, as long as he eats and shelters, he can still work with Aunt Qi. Besides, there is a monthly income of sixty yuan, which is not easy to find. He also understands that this is Xing Er taking care of himself, that is, earning money and being able to get close to Aunt Qi, so that he can get back together with her at the right time and provide a good opportunity. It is Xing Er's plan to kill two birds with one stone. At that moment, he said yes.
Aunt Qi guarded Xing Er's face and gave Daddy Niu a preventive shot: "I said Niu Da, this time the leader arranged for the two of us to work together and do business." You can't think about it, no matter when and where, you have to have a correct attitude, we are the group leader and the members of the subordinate and subordinate relations. It's not the same husband and wife as it used to be. If you promise not to make me angry, we will do this, if you are dishonest and think twice, you can pull down the gang as soon as possible while you haven't started to work. It also tells the leader to find another person to avoid delaying the work. β
Xing Er said: "Daddy Niu, you old boy, the last time is still on the account, if you are confused again this time, let's settle the old accounts and new accounts together, can you make Aunt Seven angry again, your identity is a buddy, Aunt Seven is the leader of the group, take care of you, a veteran soldier, show your good deeds, strive for meritorious service, and be rewarded by Aunt Qi, understand?" He deliberately kicked Daddy Niu's buttocks, causing Aunt Qi and Tian Baobao to cover their mouths and laugh.
Niu Da expressed his determination: "I must be obedient, Aunt Seven told me to beat the dog, I didn't dare to scold the chicken." β
Xing Er said: "Aunt Seven, okay, Niu Daquan relies on you to make it, he has strength, you have wisdom, as long as you raise the whip, he will fight hard." In this way, I asked someone to make you a flat chair, three meters long, and Daddy Niu pushed the cart to the counter and told him to lie down and rest. At noon, the hot day is less crowded, you will receive the eggs on the counter under the counter, ask Niu Da to sit on the chair to see the goods, and you will lie down and take a nap. β
Xing Er really didn't look away, Aunt Seven and Daddy Niu lived up to the high expectations of the leadership, they went out early and returned late every day, and they earned a lot of money. Aunt Qi is also very good at making people, and when the deal is good, she will buy beef steamed buns or pork for Daddy Niu to eat. Whenever the sun sets, the two of them go back after selling eggs, Niu Da always sings a Lu opera "Wang Xiao Catches His Feet", and the seventh aunt laughs at him for being stupid. When the two walked to no one's place, Niu Da sang the vulgar song "Eighteen Touches", and the angry seventh aunt wanted to smoke him.
There are unforeseen circumstances, and lunch has just passed this day. The sky was thundering and thundering, and the rain was pouring non-stop. The eggs were not sold out. When it gets dark, the rain doesn't stop. The seventh aunt had no choice but to sit in the car with an umbrella, Niu Da was wearing a raincoat, and the two returned in the rain. Walking to the entrance of Xijiaozi Village, there is a fork in the road, one enters the village, and the other goes around the west slope to the cattle farm
, Niu Da wanted to go back to the cattle farm, and the seventh aunt said loudly: "It's dark and the road is slippery, in case there is a mistake." How do I explain to the leader? Let's go back to my house for dinner first. Niu Daba couldn't do this, so he pushed the cart and went straight to Aunt Qi's house and arrived at the gate. The seventh aunt got out of the car and opened the door, and the cow father pushed the cart into the gate hole, covered the wooden box containing the eggs, pressed a stone to prevent the living creatures from stealing the eggs, and then waded into the water into the seventh aunt's house. At this time, Aunt Qi took advantage of his efforts to cover the egg crate, entered the door of the house early, and changed her clothes. She saw that Niu Da was already drenched, so she took out a piece of women's pants and handed it to Niu Da: "Regardless of men and women, put on one of my pants." It's not fun to be drenched in the rain and suffer from the cold. β
Niu Da grinned and said, "If you want to be rich, wear wife's pants." β
The seventh aunt scolded him: "Don't drench your cow's tongue!" Talking nonsense, I took a knife and cut out that tongue and threw it out to feed the dogs. Look how dare you be poor! "Anyway, I don't have to worry about the cow. began to brush the pot to cook and stir-fry, and instructed the cow to hug the firewood and make a fire. When the food was put on the table, in order to ward off the cold, Aunt Qi took out a bottle of wine, which she had said was given to her by the matchmaker. She poured a tea bowl for Niu Da, poured a tea bowl herself, drank with Niu Da, and after a cup, she felt that she didn't care much, and poured a tea bowl for each person. Drink and eat. After the meal, Aunt Seven warned Niu Da: "Be honest, sleep on my kang, don't make it bad, if you don't obey, stay outside in the wet mud." β
Niu Da hurriedly said: "Can't I sleep honestly?" β
Aunt Tianming woke up and found that Niu Da was naked and hugging herself, and when she touched it again, she didn't hang up at all. She sighed: It seems that this second half of the life has a great fate with this cow, or it is unavoidable, the two reunions are all people who do not leave people and keep people. After she sighed, she twisted Niu Da's sturdy arm with her hand and scolded him: "You brute bull, entangle my enemy." β
