"You're right, just complain that we don't have experience."

"Boss Zhou, do you want to ...... this time?"

"It's stocked!"

"Still want to be stocked? Yes, yes. The other party was overjoyed.

"Of course! Where you fall, you have to get up. ”

"Your spirit is very admirable, but this time you must pay attention to the details, and you can't fall again."

"Of course, I came prepared this time."

The other party asked about the travel time, the climate change along the way from south to north, and the local temperature in Huaxing City, etc., according to these factors, the experienced old employees of the fruit company patiently selected the appropriate ripeness bananas for Zhou Jianping, and loaded them for him to ship.

Arriving in Huaxing City, Zhou Jianping couldn't wait to move a basket from the car, although he had taken good measures, he was also afraid of the situation like last time again. When he called, Zhou Jianping's eyes lit up, and the bananas that were slightly green when they were loaded in Guangzhou were just the right color when they were transported here! After opening a few baskets in a row, there was no problem with the color, and Zhou Jianping's hanging heart finally let go.

After unloading the car and setting up a simple vending counter, Zhou Jianping put the brightly colored bananas on the table, which quickly attracted customers, and after a while, customers who bought bananas lined up in a long line. Because there is almost no difference in the quality of bananas, Zhou Jianping is not allowed to choose, from weighing, payment to collection, all by himself.

From 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., 2,000 catties of bananas were sold out. After cleaning up the venue, Zhou Jianping felt exhausted and hungry, he found a small hotel, put down his luggage and went to a restaurant on the street to eat some food, returned to the hotel, and fell asleep on the bed before he even had time to wash.

When I woke up, it was more than seven o'clock the next morning, Zhou Jianping got up and washed up well, changed his clothes, and went home this time, of course, he couldn't say that he would return home, but he wouldn't be as embarrassed as last time.

Before walking out of the hotel, Zhou Jianping closed the account, excluding the cost, this trip to Guangzhou, a net income of 500 yuan, he planned to take out 200 yuan to return to his parents, and the rest of the money, he had to continue to do things.

Seeing that the returning son was not as unkempt and exhausted as last time, Chen Xiuhua was a little relieved, "Jianping, I'm back." ”

"Mom, I'm back."

Putting down the luggage, Zhou Jianping wanted to help make lunch, "You rest, the meal is almost ready, and you will eat when your father gets home." ”

After a while, Zhou Xuecheng came back from geography with farm tools on his shoulder, "Dad, wash your hands and get ready to eat." Zhou Jianping took the initiative to say hello.

"Hmm." Zhou Xuecheng didn't care about his son's sudden appearance, he was still angry about Zhou Jianping's borrowing money, and he was thinking about whether this kid had spent the money and went home to think of some crooked ideas.

After eating lunch in more than half an hour, Chen Xiuhua was about to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, Zhou Jianping said: "Mom, you wait a little, I'll tell you something." ”

"Oh, what's the matter?" Chen Xiuhua sat back on the stool.

"I will pay back the two hundred yuan I borrowed from you last time." As he spoke, Zhou Jianping took out a roll of money from his jacket pocket, counted it, exactly twenty, and handed it to Chen Xiuhua.

"You've been out for more than a week, haven't you spent a penny?" Chen Xiuhua was not in a hurry to take the money handed over by his son.

"I spent it, I earned some money, and now I don't need this money, so I'll give it back to you."

Chen Xiuhua took the money, "Jianping, can you tell us what you are doing outside to make money?" ”

"Mom, please rest assured, your son is a knowledgeable person who knows what to do and what not to do. Now that the policy is open and individuals are allowed to do business, I said last time that I am doing legitimate business outside and not doing anything illegal. ”

"That's good. Don't you need this money to do business? Take it and use it first, and when you have enough money, it's not too late. ”

"Thank you for your kindness, I already have the capital to do business, you can put this money away."

Zhou Jianping insisted on returning the money to his parents, but Zhou Xuecheng and Chen Xiuhua felt guilty in their hearts.

"What were you going to do with the last time we met?" Zhou Xuecheng raised this question, he was afraid that his son would regret the blind date because he had repaid the money.

"Last time we met----, you meant going on a blind date with that girl? I told my mom that as long as the other party is willing to deal with it, I don't object. ”

Zhou Xuecheng's heart relaxed, "This money is still yours, and in our hands, it is also waiting for you to get married in the future." ”

"The paper has been written in black and white, and I will never need you to spend a penny to get married and start a family, and I promise to do what I say." Zhou Jianping said.

"What do you mean? You're going to fight me and your mom, aren't you? Zhou Xuecheng was going to be angry again.

"What am I fighting with you! You have worked hard for most of your life, and you don't have any money on hand, and I have three or four brothers and sisters under me, and they will have more places to spend money in the future, so leave this money to them, so I can earn money now, and I can finally reduce some of the burden for you, is there anything wrong with that? ”

"What Jianping said makes sense, let's talk about this later. Jianping, the other side replied to the introducer a few days ago, and the girl agreed to get to know you first. Why don't you take advantage of your home and find a chance for the two of you to meet alone? ”

"Whatever. I'm going to leave in a few days. Zhou Jianping looked indifferent.

"Don't be casual, it's a matter of the two of you to meet alone, you are a man, you have to take the initiative." Chen Xiuhua said.

"Mom, how do you think I can take the initiative? I set a place, she doesn't necessarily know, I think it's more appropriate for the other party to determine the time and place to meet, anyway, I've been at home for the last few days, any day, there is no place in the whole Huaxing City that I can't find. ”

"Okay, then tell the introducer and let the other party determine the time and place."

The woman set the meeting place outside the gate of Dongshan Middle School, where Chang Yuling had studied for two years and was a little more familiar with this place.

Three days later, Zhou Jianping and Chang Yuling met at the agreed place.

Today's Chang Yuling, although still very simple, looks more pleasing to the eye than that night, her hair is tied behind her head with a headdress, her face is slightly powdered, her skin is slightly white in natural light, and she is dressed in well-fitting coarse cloth clothes, plus a pair of velveteen semi-high heels on her feet, which sets off her figure with a little three-dimensionality.

No one else was present, and the two men were a little less shy.

"You studied here?" Zhou Jianping spoke first.

"Yes."

"I also graduated from this school, and we are alumni, maybe we are still in the same class."

"I only went to school for less than two years and didn't graduate." Chang Yuling said.

"Oh, that's nothing, it's been so many years, it doesn't matter if you graduate or not." Zhou Jianping was afraid that this topic would embarrass the other party.

"I heard you're a regular high school graduate?"

"Hey! This is said for the sake of sound, and it should actually be called a regular unsuccessful student. Zhou Jianping laughed at himself.

"The college entrance examination acceptance rate is so low, and there are too many people who fail to graduate from high school, so there are no regrets. Now when you go back to the village, you can spend all day doing farm work, right? If you have knowledge, you will be a good farmer. ”

Along the avenue outside the school gate, the two walked forward while talking.

"To tell you the truth, I don't have the slightest interest in being a farmer."

"If you don't want to be a farmer, what do you want to do?"

"Now that the policy is liberalized, as long as you are willing to do it, there are many things you can do, and of course you can't do bad things."

"Looks like you're an idealist."

"Perhaps, without ideals, society cannot progress."

Before they knew it, they had come to the seat of the Dongshan Township Government, where there was a street dozens of meters long, with a supply and marketing cooperative, a so-called non-staple food store selling oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, an agricultural material store, two small restaurants and several small grocery stores.

"It's almost lunchtime, let's have some food?"

"No, my mother is still waiting for me at home."

"Okay, but it's a little hot, let's have a bottle of soda."

Chang Yuling did not refuse.

The two agreed to meet again.

On the way home, Zhou Jianping thought in his heart, if he wanted to say that he verbally agreed to get along with this girl in the previous stage, it was all to deal with his parents, and through today's contact, he thought that this girl was really worth getting along with.

Zhou Jianping is a person who knows how to judge the situation and weigh the pros and cons, he compared himself with Chang Yuling's situation, in terms of family, although he doesn't know much now, at least the other party's situation will not be worse than his own family.

To say that the two of them are not how good Chang Yuling is, in all fairness, she looks average, just a rural girl who can see it, the question is how good Zhou Jianping is? In terms of height, he is ten centimeters and eight centimeters taller than the other party, and when it comes to appearance, the other party is ordinary, and when he throws Zhou Jianping into the crowd, he can't see that he has anything outstanding.

Zhou Jianping is a self-aware person, he had a clear understanding of his appearance when he was in high school, and he always stayed away from beautiful girls such as class flowers and school flowers. You can have your own lofty ideals in doing things, but Zhou Jianping is very realistic about his future other half, he has never wanted to eat swan meat.

Back at home, Chen Xiuhua was preparing lunch, "Jianping hasn't eaten lunch yet, right?" "Mother means, at noon, didn't you invite the other party to dinner?

"No, Chang Yuling said that her mother was waiting for her at home."

"Hey, what's the hurry, can't you talk about it after eating?" Chen Xiuhua was worried that the two young people would not talk well.

"It's okay, there will be opportunities in the future."

"Oh----, let's get ready for dinner." Hearing that his son said that there would be a chance in the future, Chen Xiuhua's hanging heart relaxed.

After lunch, Zhou Jianping wanted to work in the field with his parents, Zhou Xuecheng knew that his son was not from the heart, "Forget it, it's the farming season, there is not much work in the field, I can be busy with your mother." ”

"Well, I'm trying to go out and run some errands."

After his parents left, Zhou Jianping did not leave immediately, but fell asleep on the bed and went out at four o'clock in the afternoon.

He found his uncle's second brother Zhou Jianliang, "Yo, Jianping is back, I haven't seen you for a long time, I only heard someone in the village talking about you behind your back, what have you been doing in the past few months?" ”

"Didn't I tell you last time, I took your money and went out for a while."

"How's it going?"

"Let's go, let's find a restaurant and sit down and talk to you slowly."

If there is any restaurant in the village, if you want to find a place to eat and drink, you have to find a place to eat and drink, and you have to find it on the street of Dongshan Township. They walked for more than an hour before they sat down in a small restaurant, "Second brother, you used to take the money for dinner, but today you sit and don't move, I'll do everything." With that, Zhou Jianping went to the kitchen to order.

It didn't take much effort, and Zhou Jianping's cold pork ears, fried peanuts and fried leeks with eggs were served on the table, "Jianping, it seems that I have mixed well outside during this time!" Let's talk about it, let the second brother also open his eyes. ”

"Boss, bring us another pound of liquor, he is seven taels, and I am three taels."

The brothers ate and drank, "Second brother, I respect you, after drinking this wine, I will tell you about the experience of wandering outside during this time." ”
