Chapter 33: An Unexpected Gain

"Dad, you take it, I have enough money to spend, really. Here today, even if the girl begs you, will you be kind to yourself? Look at your clothes, how many years they've been worn! Didn't I pull a few feet of cloth for you when I came back to the county seat? Is it okay to make a set of clothes for yourself? Otherwise, I'll go back to Aunt Fang to learn and make a set for you. ”

"Also, you don't even think I know about your monthly help to grandma? Can you keep some money for yourself? You know that if the salary is given to grandma, she will definitely give it to the second uncle and them, even if the second uncle and aunt don't want to care about her at all, every time it's just for the money......"

Speaking of this, Shui Yao was so uncomfortable with this father that he had to pause and take a long breath to calm down his emotions. Then he stared at Shui Daquan with an uneasy face and persuaded: "Dad, you feel sorry for yourself, okay?"

Shui Daquan didn't expect that his daughter would tell him so much in one breath, she knew everything she had done, her eyes gradually turned red, and every reproach in Shui Yao's words didn't contain care and consideration for herself?

"Okay, Dad promised you, will it be done? Girl, thank you for being kind to your grandma......"

Shui Yao saw that his father was about to cry, and then he realized that his emotions seemed to be a little too much. So he sat down and said lightly: "Dad, you have to be kind to yourself, our family is counting on you!" So, you have to spend more money on yourself, it's time to eat, it's time to drink! I'll be sure to buy meat next week to make it up for you! If it's not delicious, don't pick and choose! ”

After Shui Yao finished speaking, he deliberately showed a mischievous smile, and then sat down to eat with Shui Daquan.

Shui Daquan saw that the girl was not angry, so she relished it, and ate it with a satisfied face: "Don't worry, girl, your father is fine!" Then I won't give you the money, but if it's not enough, just tell Dad! ”

A small turmoil has passed, and the atmosphere has returned to the original harmony. But while Shui Yao was eating, he suddenly thought of something, and asked, "Dad, do the workers in your unit usually eat in the canteen?" Did you go out to eat? ”

Shui Daquan listened, and the chopsticks in his hand paused: "You said it's the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers Hotel?" That restaurant is the best place to eat in our county, but Dad thinks the food there is too far from yours! Usually after work, a few co-workers and I will occasionally go over to eat, but the price is not cheap! Dishes in the cafeteria...... Alas, don't say it, don't say it......"

When Shui Yao heard this, his eyes immediately lit up.

Since there is a worker who often goes out to eat, does that mean that she can cook some food at the factory gate and sell it? Maybe it's also a way to make money!

"Dad, I just want to ask, now...... Are there any lunch boxes that sell separately on the street? ”​

When Shui Daquan heard this, he was immediately stunned. It took a long time to gradually react, and his words were full of seriousness: "Yaoyao, you don't want to come out and do business secretly!" It's not that our family can't open the pot, although Dad is just an ordinary worker, with a salary of about 30 yuan a month, but it won't make you and your brother hungry! ”​

Perhaps because he felt that his attitude was too tough, and he was afraid of hurting his baby girl, Shui Daquan gradually slowed down his voice: "Yaoyao, you can tell your dad if you don't have enough money, but if you show up to do business, you won't agree to anything." Do you know that this is cutting the tail of capitalism, and if you are caught by the guards, you will go to jail! You've just been admitted to high school, and if you put yourself in for this little money, then your life will be over! ”

Shui Daquan's words made Shui Yao very helpless: she didn't know how to explain to Shui Daquan. After all, people in this era are relatively conservative in their thinking. But now it's been seven or eight years, and it won't be long before the state encourages everyone to do business.

Just like the eldest sister that Shui Yao saw at the door of the movie theater last time, and the people on the black market, they have already started to do business secretly. After all, no matter what time it is, it is to support the bold and starve to death the faint-hearted.

Seeing that Shui Daquan couldn't move, Shui Yao had to quickly smile and reassure: "Dad, don't worry, how could I have such thoughts?" I was just curious, so I asked. ”

After hearing this, Shui Daquan breathed a long sigh of relief, and persuaded Shui Yao again and again, and then he completely relieved his heart.

After leaving the Shui Daquan unit, Shui Yao immediately rushed to the cinema. It happens to be a weekend now, and many people have free time to take advantage of the short break to watch a movie and relax. Therefore, as soon as Shui Yao arrived at the door of the theater, he saw that there were many people waiting there who planned to buy tickets.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Shui Yao looked around, and after finding that there were no people who did not check, he dared to try to sell it.

"Uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters, can you buy a bag of potato chips and try them? How boring is just watching a movie? ”

After speaking, Shui Yao took a look, and found that the people around him didn't take care of him, and he was not disappointed, seeing that there seemed to be a desire to buy young men and women around, he stepped forward directly, took out a bag of potato chips and said, "This handsome guy, let's wrap potato chips for my girlfriend?" Try it first, don't pay if it's not delicious! ”

When the young girl on the side heard this, she immediately became interested: "How much is a pack?"

Shui Yao saw that there was a play, and hurriedly showed a bright smile: "Four cents a pack, three packs only cost a dime, Tong Su is not bullied, buy a bag and try it, I guarantee that it will be more beautiful to eat!"

The girl was said by Shui Yao, and immediately blushed, stretched out her hand and pulled the sleeve of the young man who was traveling with her, the young man understood, took out his wallet, and said generously: "Little girl, bring me three packs!"

"Okay, handsome guy, a dime, the potato chips are for you, take it!"

Seeing this, others also took out money one after another.

"Girl, bring me six packs!"

"Sister, I want three packs!"

The market soon opened up. After a while, there were only three packets of potato chips left. Seeing that the movie was about to start, Shui Yao didn't plan to stay here longer, and after collecting the money from the sale of a piece of two, he decided to go around the county to see if he could find other business opportunities by the way.

But before he could take a few steps, Shui Yao suddenly felt an indescribable taste, as if something was strange, so he didn't think about it, and subconsciously stretched out his hand into his pants pocket.

I don't know if I don't touch it, and I'm scared when I touch it! Who knows, the piece of two cents that was put in just now is now gone! Shui Yao felt bad in his heart, so he quickly took out all the small pockets on his body.

At this moment, Zi Shui Yao's heart completely sank to the bottom, and the whole was covered with a layer of ice! Unable to care about anything else, he tore his throat and shouted: "Catch the thief!" Catch the thief! The thief just stole my money! ”

Shui Yao didn't know the specific location of the thief at the moment, but her instinct to ask herself had always been accurate. He certainly hadn't gone far at the moment. If she shouted at this time, if the thief was weak-hearted, nine times out of ten he would not confess himself and show his feet.

Sure enough, as soon as the words fell, Shui Yao suddenly noticed that less than five meters away from him, a half-grown young man in a black homespun shirt immediately ran away!

Shui Yao saw the timing and saw that someone around him had noticed his call for help, so he hurriedly pointed to the direction where the young man fled and shouted: "Everyone, pay attention, the thief is there!" Catch up with him, don't let people run! ”

At this time, many people around heard the call for help to catch the thief, so they all went into battle and surrounded the thief from all sides.

Seeing this, Shui Yao couldn't help but sigh secretly: Although the economic development in this era is relatively backward, most people are still very simple. When you see anyone in trouble, you are willing to help. Unlike decades later, the fast-paced and high-intensity life has worn out the enthusiasm in people's hearts. So much so that everyone only cares about sweeping the snow in front of the door, which is really indifferent.

The thief saw that he was in danger of escaping this time, so he gritted his teeth, took out a dagger, and gestured at everyone a few times, opening his mouth to threaten.

"I ...... I warn...... Warning you! Don't pretend to be a good person here! You guys...... But don't ...... Stay back! Whoever takes a step further, then you're welcome! Unbelief...... You can try it! ”

It seemed that the little dagger, which was less than an inch long, gave the little gangster enough security, and the young man spoke more and more smoothly, his tongue was not knotted, and finally he even had the courage to glare at everyone fiercely.

But this glare did work, and I saw that the few enthusiastic people who were closest to the young man before were indeed quite afraid, and their steps retreated. Shui Yao clearly saw the look of regret and retreat on the faces of those people. Just as he was about to speak, a clear voice came straight through.

"Yo, I robbed other people's things, and I still don't regret it so much, and I threaten people with confidence, it's really a long skill! I don't believe it, no one really dares to cure a scum like you? I'm going to try it today! ”

"Fang Peinan!"

Shui Yao saw that it was Fang Peinan who had arrived, and this time, it was the third time that he had helped himself in a critical situation. Shui Yao couldn't help but feel a little more moved.

Seeing that the threatening words he had just uttered had clearly taken effect, the young man planned to scare and scare the group of people again and find a chance to get out. Unexpectedly, halfway through, he killed a good thing to bite the gold to spoil himself, and the anger in his heart rushed up in a daze, and it didn't take long for the anger to engulf him completely!

I saw that the young man slashed the dagger straight at Fang Pei Nan a few times, his eyes widened, and he said arrogantly: "Yo! What the are you? Did it come out of that horn? What a dog with a mouse, nosy! Lao Tzu advises you to stay away, don't be embarrassed! I don't know each other, be careful that Lao Tzu makes you unable to see the sun in Ming'er! ”
