Chapter 5: Kunbei, the Land of Destiny
Bang dang dang!
The wheels of the train collide with the rails, making a rhythmic sound.
The car window was open, and Li Dong lay on the window for a while, his face was dark.
Yang Weicheng looked at the regressive scenery and sighed with emotion again.
1988 Ah!
He suddenly had an illusion in the clouds and fog like in a dream, and quietly pinched himself.
Well, it hurts, it's not a dream.
Truth be told, this train is slower to death.
From Zhonghai to Kunbei, in his time, it only took a few minutes.
Usually the rhythm of getting off the train as soon as it starts.
"The era has just started, I am fortunate to do it all over again, and I must seize the opportunity!" Yang Weicheng once again made up his mind.
The passengers on the bus chatted in groups, and the atmosphere was harmonious and warm.
But Li Dong and Yang Weicheng were very silent, one was immersed in the huge shock of wealth, and the other was trying to think about what regrets he had in his previous life.
If you want to say sorry, that's too much.
First of all, there is the uncle.
In order to pull his younger siblings, he did not marry and have children until he was in his 30s.
It's a pity that his married life was not happy, and he was cuckolded, dyed with alcohol, and died depressed.
"In this life, you must avoid that pit than the girl." Yang Weicheng said secretly, "Not only do you avoid it, but you have to punish her." ā
In addition, Lin Xi's life experience is also very embarrassing.
He was thinking about it, when suddenly someone sat down across from him, looked at him carefully, and then laughed: "Haha, you are Wei Cheng, right?" I haven't seen you for a few years, and I've become a big boy! ā
Yang Weicheng was stunned for a moment and looked at the other side. Li Dong also looked at the man sitting next to him curiously, and asked Yang Weicheng with his eyes.
Yang Weicheng couldn't take care of him, just looked at the person opposite.
It was a man about forty years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, wearing a navy blue tunic, carrying a black bag in his hand, and looking upright.
As Yang Guanyu, he definitely didn't know this person.
But as Yang Weicheng, he had a slight impression, and suddenly he was shocked, stood up and shouted: "You are, Lin Xi's father?" Oh no, Uncle Lin! ā
"Haha, yes, do you remember me?" Lin Qingshan laughed, "I'm on a business trip to Kunbei, why are you here?" ā
"IāI'll do something personal." Yang Weicheng was embarrassed, and he couldn't tell people that he was here to resell treasury bills, right?
In this day and age, speculation doesn't make a good impression.
Lin Qingshan was kind and kind, and looked at Yang Weicheng's eyes with great emotion, which reminded Yang Weicheng of the word 'father'.
Lin Qingshan and his father are comrades-in-arms, and the two have a deep friendship. In the early years, when my parents were alive, the two families moved around a lot.
After retiring from the army, Lin Qingshan worked in Fengxian Xingpai Machinery Factory, as if he was a buyer.
Originally, the Lin family's life should have been very prosperous, but unfortunately something happened this year.
Yang Guanyu, oh no, Yang Weicheng learned about Lin Xi's past from his father in his previous life.
Her father is down-to-earth and hardworking, loves his family and protects his son, and has a good reputation. But when the Chinese New Year was approaching, the public security suddenly came to his house to arrest him, and later it was rumored that he had robbed and killed people.
The case was quickly transferred to the court, and Lin Qingshan was sentenced to death, which was immediately executed.
The originally prosperous family of four fell from heaven to hell at once.
In life, they are discriminated against.
Lin Xi's half-brother went to jail on a crooked path, and Lin Xi failed to realize his dream of going to college.
In short, the fate of this family is embarrassing.
At this moment, looking at the honest and simple man opposite, Yang Weicheng couldn't connect him with the murderer.
Thinking of his previous life, Lin Xi once said that his father died unjustly, and a thought popped up in Yang Weicheng's heart.
"If Uncle Lin was really wronged, then I will prevent this tragedy from happening."
Probably thinking of his old comrades-in-arms, when Lin Qingshan looked at Yang Weicheng, his eyes were always loving. He even took the initiative to pay for Yang Weicheng and Li Dong to buy a meal each.
The two chatted about family life, and the journey was quickly halfway through.
"Woo whoa, woo whoa!" A child cries in the hallway.
Lin Qingshan looked around, stood up and shouted, "Sister-in-law, you take the child, come and sit." ā
Then a woman took the little doll in her arms and sat down on the seat.
Yang Weicheng is even more sure that this man will not do such a murderous thing, there must be an inside story.
Kunbei arrived soon, and because they had their own things to do, Lin Qingshan and Yang Weicheng said goodbye.
When parting, Lin Qingshan said: "If you want to stay in the hotel, go to the Tailai Hotel, I live there on business trips." Not only is it cheap, but it's also hygienic. ā
"Okay Uncle Lin, I'll definitely come over, let's have dinner together later."
Yang Weicheng nodded and parted ways with him at the station gate.
Kunbei in April was a little cold.
Out of the train station, looking at the dilapidated scene, Yang Weicheng was a little surprised.
"It used to be so dilapidated here!"
He thought of the prosperity here in a few decades, and he was even more impressed by the rapid development of the motherland.
"Wei Cheng, where are we going?" Li Dong followed a few steps.
In this unfamiliar environment, he still exudes timidity in his novelty.
Yang Weicheng said: "Take a walk, stay in the factory living area or something." ā
Only in those places, there are many old ladies.
Where there are many old ladies, the news is well-informed.
Yang Weicheng's idea is indeed right.
In the family area of a local machine factory, he happened to meet a few aunts discussing treasury bills.
"Oh, what do you mean by this policy?"
"We don't know, I have some treasury bills in my hand, I don't feel steady, I don't understand."
Yang Weicheng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Auntie, is it good to sell me treasury bills?" ā
Although they all speak dialects, Wu Nong's soft language in the Jiangnan area is very different, and he can listen to it.
However, there is a difference between dialects, and when people hear his foreign accent and the fact that he is a young man, they cast suspicious glances.
"Sold to you? Do you have money? ā
One of the fat aunts looked at him with disdain while knitting a sweater.
"Yes, how many Treasury bills do you have?" Yang Weicheng asked.
The aunt said: "I don't have much, but my mother's brothers have a lot of hands, how can they add up to five or six hundred." ā
"Okay, I'll buy it." Yang Weicheng said happily.
Five or six hundred, in the eyes of others, is a huge amount of money, but now let alone Yang Weicheng, even Li Dong is a little disdainful.
But in any case, it's a good start.
"Really? I want a high price. The aunt said.
"How much?" Yang Weicheng's bottom line is that no more than 105 is acceptable.
"Hmm...... 80ļ¼ The aunt thought about it and said very cautiously.
ā80ļ¼ā Yang Weicheng raised his eyebrows and looked happy.
Although Kunbei developed into an economic powerhouse a few decades later, it is still a small town, and the common people are not very wealthy.
The price of 80 is probably very high in the eyes of this aunt.
When she saw Yang Weicheng raise her eyebrows, she sneered: "I'll just say, if you don't have hair on your mouth, you can't do things well, giggle!" He turned around and went back to chatting with the other aunts.
"I want it, I want it." Yang Weicheng said.
"Really?" The aunt looked at him cautiously.
Yang Weicheng nodded: "It can be traded immediately." ā
"Okay, you come with me." The aunt took Yang Weicheng to her brother's house and beckoned the brothers and sisters to sell treasury bills.
Yang Weicheng did not drag his feet, and his aunt's family was also very simple, and at a price of 80 yuan, they purchased 6 treasury bills with a denomination of 100 yuan.
Holding these thin treasury bills, Yang Weicheng was overjoyed, and a layer of sweat broke out of his head.
The flow of information is not fast enough, and the people here do not know the outside world, and it is about to undergo drastic changes.
Time is money, my friend! He muttered to himself.
The aunt's house changed the treasury bills, and soon several aunts and uncles came to inquire about the news.
Yang Weicheng talked one by one and finalized the price, and a total of 2,000 yuan of treasury bills were easy to buy.
It's still far from what we expected, but it's a good start.
After the transaction was completed, Yang Weicheng saw that it was not early, so he said to Li Dong: "That's it today, let's go find a hotel to live in first, and talk about the rest tomorrow." ā
"Tomorrow? But it's almost time for us to take a break. Li Dong was a little embarrassed.
"I plan to send a telegram tomorrow and ask Huzi to continue to help me on the shift, and it's a big deal to buy him a few good cigarettes." Yang Wei became a Taoist.
Li Dong thought about it and nodded happily: "Cheng, I'll also find someone to help me substitute." ā
Both of them have a lot of friends in the factory, and this is not difficult.
The two of them left the family area together, and were about to go to the hotel that Lin Qingshan said, when suddenly a woman in her thirties stopped him.
"Little brother, wait a minute."
