While his younger brother was preparing things and bicycles, Zhao Zhiqiang took a look at the mess.

The strange information just now was aimed at the younger brother, that is to say, the younger brother to the west may make a fortune today, and it will be related to the sea willow wood.

Sea willows?

After thinking about it for a long time, I finally remembered.

More than ten years ago, my father seemed to be fiddling with a wooden piece full of holes, and I heard him say that it was picked up from the sea. Originally, I was going to carve a cigarette holder for my grandfather, but then my grandfather died suddenly, and no one paid attention to that thing anymore.

"Xiaogang, can you find the strange piece of wood with holes that our dad picked up a long time ago" Zhao Zhiqiang decided to give it a try, after all, it was true that he knew that his younger brother had 50 yuan just now.

……

Although there is no snow in the cold winter, the seaside of the Liaodong Peninsula is even more cold and damp.

This kind of cold and damp, even if you wear two layers of cotton and one layer of hair, it will freeze people and breathe.

The Zhao brothers pushed their bicycles, shivering from the cold, and walked on the road out of the village against the wind.

Zhao Zhiqiang wrapped the lunch box in the military coat and stuck it on his chest.

His younger brother Zhao Zhigang was pushing a dilapidated 28 bicycle, and there was a sign made of gray paper shell tied to the back seat of the car:

Sell sea willows.

The two-foot-long, arm-thick piece of wood was tied to the girder of the car.

The two brothers worked hard to move forward against the wind, and it was close to half past eleven and the two arrived at the car wash at the west entrance of the village.

The weather is cold and windy, and occasionally people pass by in the village, looking at the pair of brothers who are dressed in shabby clothes and their faces are red from the cold, and the brothers who have to go out on a cold day shake their heads, and occasionally say hello and leave in a hurry.

"Brother, they wear a lot, why do we take the initiative to say hello, they don't talk slowly, walk so fast?"

Zhao Zhigang observed carefully, and these neighbors in the same village seemed to speed up their pace when they saw them, even if they couldn't hide, they didn't pretend not to see without expression, or they reluctantly smiled and hurriedly left.

Zhao Zhiqiang rubbed his ice hands vigorously, and smiled on his pale face, "Xiaogang, you remember, people are poor and are bullied, Ma is good and ridden, our family is poor now, they will hide from us, and people who know us are afraid that we will borrow money, don't take the initiative to say hello when we meet people in the future, let's not ask them for anything." ”

"Well, brother, can you really pay back the second uncle's money before the Spring Festival?"

"Yes! There is a brother here, the salary in the army will arrive soon, and he will punch in directly......" Zhao Zhiqiang couldn't help but speak, but he kept thinking about how to get the 150,000 yuan!

One hundred and fifty thousand!

My father works outside all year round, earning more than 30,000 yuan, but even counting the cost of medicine and living expenses, my younger brother goes to school, he is a soldier, and my mother has to be dialysis......

150,000 is simply an astronomical amount for the Zhao family, if it weren't for the help of those relatives in the past, maybe ...... So even if they came to "squat for the New Year" today, Zhao Zhiqiang was still grateful to his second uncle for helping his family in the most difficult and fatal time.

Uremia is a disease that needs to be cured, and I heard that the kidney will be replaced, and the cost of medicine will be more than 300,000 yuan.

Zhao Zhiqiang actually pressed a heavy stone in his heart since the day he came back.

"Brother, what are we bringing this thing for?"

Zhao Zhiqiang's eyebrows raised, "Well, this, I heard that someone seems to have accepted this thing recently, take it out and try it." Wait on the road first to see if anyone buys it, or if there is no one, I am going to take it to the cultural market or medicinal herb shop in Bincheng and ask...... "I made up a reason to make my brother feel at ease."

Zhao Zhigang sighed.

I parked my bicycle on the side of the road and wrapped it tightly in the eighty percent new army coat that my brother sent him last year. This is his most haode cotton coat.

Park the car and watch from both sides from time to time.

Zhao Zhigang didn't believe his brother's words. But he wouldn't question it. Since he was a child, he has listened to his brother, even if it is wrong or wrong. In his heart since he was a child, this four-year-old brother treats him better than his parents......

Ten minutes passed, and the brothers were already freezing on National Highway 206. Simply put the sign on the bicycle, and the two retreated to the side of the road more than ten meters, in front of the Ergazi car wash.

There's a plastic greenhouse and a rest room next to it. In order to watch the car, the brothers stood under the greenhouse, which was much warmer than on the road.

There is a lot of traffic coming over, and from time to time there are people who come down to the supermarket on the edge of the village to refill water and buy some snacks, but there is not even a single person who comes to inquire.

Zhao Zhiqiang turned around again and looked at the direction, this is right, it is indeed due west of his house, about 800 meters away.

However, there are indeed too many generalities in going out due west in that sentence, and the direction of the city is also due west, but Zhao Zhiqiang analyzed that if that is right, it should not be too far from the village, and this road should be the most crowded place.

Suddenly, a red BMW slowed down from far and near and stopped.

stopped next to Zhao Zhigang.

Zhao Zhiqiang's heart is hot!

Zhao Zhigang was also surprised, and after waiting for half an hour, there was really business coming to the door!

But when he saw the face that came out of the window of the car, it immediately wilted like a frosted eggplant.

It turned out to be her......

Zhao Zhiqiang didn't know him, but he could see that people didn't buy things, "You are?" ”

A middle-aged woman, that face is very white, looking at this face in this winter, it will really be a little colder, her lips are still very red, the red is scary, but the eye bags are also big and scary. Zhao Zhiqiang was very puzzled, and at a glance, he knew that it was a rich woman at the level of turtles, and this BMW car was at least three million level......

"Car wash!"

The woman got out of the car, took off her big sunglasses, glanced at Zhao Zhiqiang, and then stared at Zhao Zhigang and said, "Xiaogang, is he-your brother?" ”

Zhao Zhigang took a breath of cold air, "Aunt Su, this is my brother, who just came back from the army." Brother, this is the aunt of Director Zhao's family in our administrative village, and I am in the same class as Zhao Yunxiang of her family. ”

"Aunt Su is good." Zhao Zhiqiang smiled hard, nodded with the parents of his younger brother and classmates, and said hello.

"Hey, Xiaogang, I've heard Xiaoxiang say about your family's situation, come, my aunt has 10,000 yuan here, you take it first, you are waiting to sell that piece of sea willow to treat your mother's illness, right?" Take this money first, I asked Xiaoxiang to tell you a long time ago, and I told Aunt Su about the difficulties, but you never said it, I'm also busy, and I want to see it a long time ago, so it's better to meet by chance......"

"Auntie, I can't take this money!" Zhao Zhigang's face was flushed, and he replied very seriously.

"Take it, you and Xiaoxiang are classmates......"

"Don't take it, aunt, we have enough money......" Zhao Zhigang resolutely refused. Zhao Zhiqiang also helped his younger brother speak, what his younger brother didn't want, even if it was Jinshandui, Zhao Zhiqiang would spit on it, if he didn't want it, he didn't want it.

The middle-aged woman shook her head angrily, but there was no other way, "Alas, I actually don't have any other purpose, I just want Xiao Gang to help Xiao Xiang a little bit, tutor her, Xiao Xiang is stupid ...... brain"

"Auntie, I'll give her counseling when I'm free. Still, money, I can't ask for it, Aunt Xiexie's kindness! Zhao Zhigang exited the door of the car wash.

At this time, a white one was more luxurious, and Zhao Zhiqiang couldn't see the brand's beautiful sports car "squeak" and stopped next to the BMW.

"Mrs. Su, you also wash the car? Will you play cards for a while? "I opened the window, and I was greeted by a middle-aged woman who was uglier but more fashionably dressed, and her face was completely unworthy of this beautiful sports car.

The woman saw the bicycle and the sign standing not far away.

"Huh? Who sells sea willows, it just so happens that my old man wants to carve a cigarette holder, how much does it cost, two hundred is enough, it is worth two hundred......" As he spoke, he threw the car keys to the car washer and ran to look at the wood on the bicycle.

Zhao Zhiqiang didn't think about it, and said coldly, "Two hundred? Too little, not for sale! ”

When the car stopped, Zhao Zhiqiang thought that this might be the buyer, and hurriedly drew a trace of aura to his eyes!

Today's Fortune:

Every gamble will lose, wealth will flow, wealth will decline, and good fortune will increase.

"Hmph, what rotten wood, two hundred has been given to you more, our old man is an expert in this main face, I have seen a lot of this thing, you have weathered this thing for too long, there is not much material to use!"

Originally, this was not a buyer, Zhao Zhiqiang didn't want to talk more, but when he heard her say this, coupled with a look of being beaten up, he gave two hundred a little adjustment of his precious aura, and his heart immediately became angry.

Since it is a fat sheep sent to the door, it is impossible to say that it is not slaughtered.

"Did you expect that what you said doesn't count, don't say that you give two hundred for this thing, even if it is two thousand, I won't sell you! Because you don't know the goods! Zhao Zhiqiang's face was calm and disdainful.

"What, dare to say that I don't know the goods! The old lady's family has been carved from sea willow wood for three generations, and this broken wood is not well maintained at a glance, and it is worth giving you 200! ”

"Ouch, this lady, I don't know what you call it? Since you are a connoisseur, then let's bet on it, I guarantee that there will be a buyer within two hours, and it is definitely more than the two hundred you give! Do you dare to bet with me? ”
