Adventures in Heaven (novel) Zhang Baotong

Even though time flies slowly, and next summer is still far away, I am already preparing for my return to Heaven. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoI have to hurry up and earn some money to cover my travel expenses. For this reason, I decided to start a business and sell vegetables like many farmers who came to the city from other counties to make a living. Because many of the farmers selling vegetables in the market in front of our door are doing well. Although you can't make a lot of money in this business, you don't need to spend much capital, and you don't have to worry about losing money on credit. I think it's better for me to do this kind of thing, and I don't have to lie to people or be deceived.

When my parents heard that I was looking for something to do, they borrowed 700 yuan from my aunt to buy me a tricycle, and asked Sanbao, a fellow HN who sold vegetables in front of the door, to take me for a while. Vegetable sellers have to get up early every day to go to the vegetable market to distribute vegetables. That day, I went to the vegetable market for the first time to send vegetables, and I was supposed to go with Sam Bao, but, unfortunately, Sam Bao's child fell ill with a fever in the middle of the night, and Sam Bao had to take the child to the hospital to see a doctor. No way, I can only go to the vegetable market to distribute vegetables by myself. Before leaving, Sambo repeatedly told me that there are many car thieves in the market, so don't be careless. Of course, I didn't dare to be careless, because the tricycle was bought with my aunt's money, and if I lost the car, not only would I fail my business, but I would also lose a lot of money in vain. So, I rode my bicycle to the Rehabilitation Road Vegetable Wholesale Market and went into the market. At this time, before dawn, the market was already crowded with people, and tricycles were everywhere. Therefore, the car can only go to the market, but not close to the wholesale point.

At this time, I saw a truckload of potatoes not far from the inside, and many people were scrambling to get the vegetables. I heard from Sam Bao that the selling price of potatoes is very good these days, so I wanted to get three bags of potatoes. In order to get the food first, I locked the car so that I could get in front of the truck and be the first to get the food. But I didn't forget Sambo's repeated admonitions to me and locked the front and rear wheels of the car. However, when I got the potatoes first, I found that the car was gone. It really makes me want to cry without tears. Fortunately, I didn't pay yet, so I immediately returned the potatoes to the owner of the goods, and began to look for tricycles all over the market.

The market was full of tricycles, coming and going, and it was still dark, so I couldn't recognize which car was mine. I asked one of the security guards standing in front of the door. He told me to go to the police station. However, then he said that it was useless to find the police station, and the police station was still too busy with murder and robbery, so how could he have time to take care of your affairs. But I went to the police anyway, I thought my car was stolen and they couldn't leave it alone. When I arrived at the police station, it was just dawn when I heard the sound of someone playing mahjong in the duty room of the station, so I knocked on the door. A policeman opened the door and asked me what was the matter. I said my tricycle was stolen. When he heard this, he said impatiently, if you lose the car, you don't look for it, tell us what's the use. The market loses cars every day, can we manage it? As he spoke, he slammed the door shut. The loss of the car was enough to poke the air, and the words of the police made me feel even more chilled. Alas, it's not easy to be a common man!

The business was not completed, but seven or eight hundred yuan was lost. Now I don't have the capital to do business anymore. But I had to hurry to earn money, and I couldn't miss the time because I didn't have the money to travel. So, introduced by an acquaintance, I began to work with a Xijiang boss to decorate the houses in the newly built residential community. This work is very dirty and tiring, and the boss is too ruthless, seeing that the work of his subordinates is slow, either urging or scolding, after a day's work, everyone is so tired that they can't straighten their waists. I don't know how many times harder and more tiring it is to work in the fields of the Yilan family. However, no one dared to complain. The boss has something to say first: if you don't want to do it, you can leave. However, if you really leave, then you will be in vain. Although this work is very hard and tiring, the salary is reasonable, 800 yuan per month. I thought that by doing this for a few months, I would be able to save some money for my journey back to Heaven. I never dreamed that when we were about to pay our wages, the boss of Xijiang suddenly disappeared. More than a dozen of us workers cried and scolded, but it didn't help, and the hard-earned wages of three months were cheated out like this. At that time, we really had a kind of sorrow and helplessness that shouted silently to the earth. just sighed angrily: Now the world has changed, and people's hearts are broken.

However, all the misfortunes and disasters I have experienced have strengthened my belief that I should get out of here quickly and return to Heaven as soon as possible. It may be life-threatening to return to the kingdom of heaven, but I think that I have removed the captain for the king, and I have done many useful things for the kingdom of heaven, and since I am the lover of the princess, I will not harm me if I think the king will do me no harm. Right now, it's the warm spring season, and in a month or two, it's time for me to leave here and return to heaven. I don't think anything will be able to stop me. Because there is my beloved woman with a bright future.
