Chapter 5: An Alternative Life (1) Being a New Man
Guo Kaishan's fourth brother, Guo Kaixin, finally walked out of the gate of the correctional home after more than a year of labor reform.
When he was about to leave the gate, the warden on duty specially told him a few words, "Lao Kai, let's go out of the city this time to do something serious, I am friends with your brother and your brother, and I don't want to see you again." ”
Lao Kai is Guo Kaixin's nickname in prison, this tough guy who does not accept softness, is also a hero in it. not only defeated the iron "stick" in prison, but also made a lot of friends who have died. Although he has a background as a relative of the police, he did not receive any commutation of his sentence due to his poor performance in the middle school, and he has been sitting in a full year of labor re-education.
It was his sixth brother Guo Kaiying who picked him up in the labor camp today, and he had already passed the day when the fourth brother came out. Now Guo Kaiying is already the deputy captain of the district criminal police team, and in order to make his work more convenient, the organization also gave him a second-hand jeep.
Seeing the sixth brother, Guo Kaixin didn't say anything, and sat directly in the back of the jeep, and the luggage in his hand was thrown on the side of the road.
Guo Kaiying directly pulled the fourth brother to his home, and all the people in City A were waiting for Guo Kaixin to have a meeting. Seeing Guo Kaixin walking in intact, everyone stepped forward to say hello.
The eldest sister stepped forward and hugged Guo Kaixin, so excited that tears flowed down. "Loser, none of our old Guo family is in prison, you are famous."
The eldest brother and sister-in-law also returned to their homes in the countryside from the city, the eldest brother didn't say anything, and looked at the fourth brother blankly, while the sister-in-law stepped forward to ask for warmth, "It's good to come out, it's good to come out, come out and do something stable, don't cause trouble." ”
Guo's father's illness has improved due to the careful care of his family. He didn't lie in a hospital bed all the time. Instead, he was discharged from the hospital and lay on his own kang.
Guo Kaixin entered the back room and looked at his father, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Dad, I'm back." ”
The father looked at Guo Kaixin and whispered, "It's good to come back." ”
The four words that his father said moved Guo Kaixin a lot. When he was a child, his father always had a bad temper and treated several sons. Instead of beating and scolding, looking at his terminally ill father today, he really doesn't know what to do.
The family meeting is not scheduled after the meal, but during dinner.
Guo's father, Guo's mother, plus eldest sister, brother-in-law, eldest brother, sister-in-law. Sit down on the kang and dine.
Guo Kaixin, Guo Kaiying, and a few nephews set up a round table on the ground and ate here.
It is no longer Guo's father who is presiding over the meeting today. Instead, it was presided over by the eldest brother Guo Kaiwei.
"Everyone, listen up, there is no big deal in today's meeting, one is to wash the dust of the fourth brother, and the other is to wash the dust. It's been a long time since everyone gathered, so today I take this opportunity to get together. ”
There are too many polite words. After that, he talked about Guo Kaixin's re-employment.
The eldest brother-in-law is an eighth-level worker in the factory, and he has also made a lot of contributions to the construction of the Guo family, and his words are very weighty. "Fourth, why don't you go to work in our factory, my brother-in-law and the factory leaders can still talk, first become a temporary worker, and I will help you become a regular worker in a year."
"Brother-in-law, I don't want to go to work in the factory, I haven't thought about it yet."
The eldest brother Guo Kaiwei opened his mouth, "Then what do you want to do, you can't stay at home all day, okay, even if you stay, the brothers can support you, but you are not yet thirty, a young man in his twenties, you can't just stay." ”
"I didn't say to stay, I've thought about it for more than a year in it, I want to go into the city, don't you do business now, I also want to do something by myself."
What the eldest brother said just now didn't like it, and the sister-in-law immediately wanted to ease the atmosphere between the brothers for the man. "Don't listen to your brother, it's okay to do it yourself, I have a thousand yuan here, we have saved it for a long time, and we will use it for you to do business."
As he spoke, he took out a handkerchief from his body, opened it carefully, and put a bundle of "great unity" on the kang.
The eldest sister also moved, "Your brother-in-law and I are not rich, I have five hundred." "The five hundred yuan of the eldest sister and brother-in-law were also stacked on top of the one thousand yuan.
Guo Kaiying also took out 200 yuan and handed it to Guo Kaixin.
Just when Guo's mother also wanted to take money from the kang cabinet, Guo Kaixin called out.
"Mom, don't take it, my son is not filial, and he is a shame for the old Guo family, how can I have the face to use your second elder's money, if you give me money, you will slap me in the face."
Guo's father said, "It's okay, you kid still knows that he has a face and skin, old woman, we have no obligation to give him money, so we won't give it, see what this kid can do." ”
The family meeting of the old Guo family was finally held as a "poverty alleviation meeting" for Guo Kaixin, Guo Kaixin did not shirk, as long as someone gave money, he planned to wait for himself to earn money and return it to these relatives twice.
Guo Kaixin returned to his home in City A the next day, and this house brought up Guo Kaixin's memories. A year ago, he was fine, his wife and money, what a scenery, a year later, how much he looked forward to it, his ex-wife Shao Linlin was waiting for him at home at this time, he thought again, how could it be, they had already divorced.
The large wooden gate of the courtyard was tightly locked with a general's lock, and it looked very dilapidated. Guo Kaixin took out his own key and opened the courtyard door very easily.
As soon as I entered the yard, I was greeted by weeds all over the yard, which was very dirty.
On the doors of the three houses, there is still a happy word from the wedding a year ago, although it has experienced rain and snow, it has not been completely washed away, but it has just retreated a little red.
Guo Kaixin stepped forward to tear off the word "Xi" and put it away. He is a diligent man, and he has only been trained in the number, so naturally this little work is not a problem. I saw that he was getting more and more energetic, and gradually hummed Teresa Teng's song, which was "He Rijun Will Come Again".
After a few days of investigation, Guo Kaixin made up his mind and started the business of collecting bamboo baskets. This business has a small investment and quick results, and if you are diligent, you can make a lot of money in a day.
So he found a nearby wholesale fruit market and contacted a fruit wholesaler. The price asked is that the "small basket" is three cents, the "big basket" is five cents, and the extra-large basket woven with willow poles and tree strips ranges from one yuan to two yuan.
After asking about the purchase price, Guo Kaixin bought a second-hand "upside-down donkey", waited at the door of the fruit wholesale market, and saw the vendors who came to wholesale fruits. He would come up to talk about the basket, and whether they wanted to or not, he would talk to them.
When the hawkers saw that a big man was going to collect baskets, they naturally didn't know the details of Guo Kaixin, and it wasn't until Guo Kaixin followed him to the door of his house that he knew that Guo Kaixin was a basket collector.
After more than a month of training, Guo Kaixin's business has been paying off. Every day he would go to the hawkers' houses to collect the baskets, and then pull them to his own house and sort them into stacks. Once he has saved a certain amount, he will negotiate the price with the fruit wholesaler. Of course, as long as the basket is good, the more the better. At most, the small courtyard of Guo Kaixin's house can't be piled up, and it will be piled up outside the courtyard wall.
Since Guo Kaixin got involved in the "basket" industry. A lot of basket collectors have a headache, originally a basket of profits is very large, so Guo Kaixin is so stirred, it is simply a mess of the market. In order to sell more for a price, some fruit sellers will find Guo Kaixin to bargain, and they will not trade until they are satisfied with the price.
However, what about Guo Kaixin. He is a person who walks away when he sees profits, as long as he has money to make, whether it is a dime or a penny. He will take it and resell it to fruit wholesalers at a very cheap price. In less than half a year, Guo Kaixin simply became a big basket seller, and the basket vendors also wanted to move him, but after learning that this person was just released, they all went straight to the tooth and didn't dare to offend him.
One day, Guo Kaixin got up at night, and saw the fire outside the courtyard wall, he ran out of the courtyard to take a look, and saw a few half-sized children, who were burning baskets in iron garbage cans to keep warm, and they burned the bamboo baskets that Guo Kaixin put outside the courtyard, which made Guo Kaixin very angry.
These half-grown children have long dropped out of school at home and become local gangsters, they were not afraid when they saw Guo Kaixin coming out, but sang pop songs, which made Guo Kaixin even more angry.
"Who told you to burn the basket here, I don't know if there will be a fire in the road, get out of here, don't let me see you again." Guo Kaixin wanted to scare and scare these half-sized children.
But his words, not only did not make a few people afraid, but were scolded back.
"Who are you talking about, don't be angry, this is your family's one-acre and three-point land, who should you tell to get out, old B calf." The person who speaks, at first glance, is the one who takes the lead.
"You burned my family's basket, do you know it? It's good if I don't let you lose, let's go. Guo Kaixin is still kind to persuade him, he really doesn't want to mess with these boys, these young people can do anything these days.
"What's wrong with your house, you put it outside the courtyard, I thought no one wanted it, and we will leave when it's burned out." The one who took the lead knew that he was at a loss, and he didn't speak out loud anymore.
At this time, a girl next to her spoke, "It's going to burn your house, what's wrong." ”
As soon as the girl's words came out, the obvious leading brother also replied for the sake of face. "Burning yours is worthy of you, why don't I burn other people's houses, go back to sleep, you put the basket outside tomorrow, and I will burn it."
Where is Guo Kaixin, a tough guy, willing to eat this set, "If you don't accept it, do you want to come and try it." ”
"Okay, brothers, educate this big man, I'm going to lick my shoes with his tongue."
Before the words fell, the two and a half sons rushed towards Guo Kaixin. One uses an "electric cannon", the other with a "flying foot".
Guo Kaixin saw that they were the first to strike, and he couldn't avoid it, and he kicked the person who used the "electric cannon" to go up, and the "flying foot" kid didn't wait for the kick to Guo Kaixin, Guo Kaixin used his right hand to "pull a balla", and the person rushed down to the ground with a big head.
A teenager and a half-grown child, after all, cannot be compared with adults in terms of strength and physical fitness. At this time, the leader also made a move, and I saw that he took out a switchblade from his waist and stabbed Guo Kaixin when he went up.
Guo Kaixin let go of his hand with the knife, stepped forward and punched the man's left face, this time the man was beaten far away, and the knife in his hand was also shot, Guo Kaixin went up to pick up the knife, only to see him fly, just flying to the sorghum of his yard.
"This knife is good, just take my basket of money, if you don't accept it, come again."
There were a few half-sized children next to him, and they didn't dare to step forward when they saw that Guo Kaixin was so powerful. After the kid who took the lead got up, he ran to his own gang's pile and shouted at Guo Kaixin, "You wait, do you dare to beat me, I'll go back and call my eldest brother, and call him to come to cost you." ”
After speaking, he led everyone to run away.
Guo Kaixin also felt that he was in trouble, so he had to find his sixth brother Guo Kaiying that night and tell Guo Kaiying about it.
Guo Kaiying smiled and said, "Fourth brother, you are also afraid, I know those boys, tomorrow I will go to that ward and they will say, it's okay, you are my brother, they don't dare to do anything to you." ”
After listening to his brother's words, Guo Kaixin was also much more relaxed and returned to his home.
Along the way, Guo Kaixin thought for a while, "It's still good to study, you see that my brother has a lot of ability, he became a criminal policeman at a young age, and the gangsters are afraid of him, but it's really good." (To be continued......)
