Ling Er smiled and said, "You're very polite, and you're ruthless." ”

The fourth said, "It was the second brother who agreed." ”

The third child didn't dare to answer from beginning to end, he just coaxed people casually, where did he think that the fourth child could remember so well.

Ling Er said to him, "Don't look at me, take it upon yourself, you have to do what you promise." ”

Ling San said, "I didn't say I wouldn't agree. ”

There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and when the time comes, it will be delayed for a while.

The group entered the street, and Ling Er took the lead into a breakfast shop, and the xiaolongbao asked for four cages at once.

"You're welcome, just eat, don't ask for it if it's not enough." He said magnificently, "The third child is in for a treat." ”

"Stingy, you don't have a treat?" The fourth child drank porridge and hugged Ling San's grievances.

Ling Er said, "Yo, you talk a lot, if you feel sorry for your second brother, don't eat, save some money to buy you a bicycle." ”

"Hmph." Ling Si snorted coldly, took a big bite of the bun, and sneered at Ling Er's words, she would never do this kind of loss-inducing thing, stupid.

Ling Er said, "Then you just shut up and eat yours well." ”

Huang Zhiqiang said, "I'll have a treat later, no one cares." ”

He also sold it for more than a dozen yuan this morning, and it was only a few dollars for a breakfast?

Of course he wouldn't take it to heart.

"Or I'll please, I also have money." Ling San naturally knew that the eldest brother was joking with him.

Ling Er was about to speak, when suddenly someone patted him on the back, and when he looked back, it was Qiu Shaoliang, and behind him was an old lady with gray hair, her thin body was lying on her back, and she said vigorously, "I'm not hungry, why do you spend that money." ”

"You take your aunt here." Ling Er squeezed to Ling San's side and asked Qiu Shaoliang to take the old lady to sit in his original position.

"Boss, two cages of meat buns," Qiu Shaoliang served porridge by himself, and first arranged the dishes and chopsticks for the old lady.

"I can't eat so much." The old lady then muttered.

Qiu Shaoliang said, "I can't finish eating and take it home." ”

"Why did you come here with my aunt?"

Ling Er took a look, this old lady was a little foot who couldn't walk steadily.

After Qiu Shaoliang sat down, he pointed to the boarded driveway outside, "I always said that my eyes were sore, and I would take her to the hospital later." ”

In addition to Qiu Shaojie's brother, he also has a younger sister below, his sister who is ten years younger than him was just born, and his son is gone, and then his brother and sister-in-law separated, and he took his wife and sister-in-law to live.

His own brother has two children, a large family, and life is also difficult, so he can't help him much.

He is alone, supporting the old and the young, without the help of a laborer, life is even more difficult, so far he is thirty-five or sixteen, and he has not even married a daughter-in-law.

His sister-in-law is handsome, but someone has mentioned the matter of changing parents, but he refused without hesitation.

I am a big man, and if I can't marry a daughter-in-law, I have no ability, and if I change relatives, it is a shame.

Ling Er helped pick up some pickles in front of the old lady, and then said, "Then you have to find a doctor." ”

"If you have enough, I'll add two more cages." Qiu Shaoliang asked.

Ling Er asked the fourth, "Do you want it?" ”

"I'm full." The fourth patted his stomach with satisfaction.

Ling Er said to Qiu Shaoliang, "Let's go into the street first, you eat slowly." ”

Just as he was about to take money out of his pocket, Qiu Shaoliang had already blocked him with his hand, and handed five yuan to the hotel owner with his other hand, "Wait and count together, you're welcome, I can afford a few steamed buns." ”

"Thank you then." Ling Er was not polite, after all, the days when everyone got along together were not short.

After Ling Er and the others left, Old Lady Qiu complained in a low voice, "I don't know how to worry about money." ”

Qiu Shaoliang said, "You eat yours, what's the matter, the boss and I are working with others, otherwise how will I get the money when I come back this time, whether it is enough to eat, not enough to ask for another cage." ”

"That's the boss, and I can't let you invite you to dinner." Naturally, the old lady was still not convinced.

"You old lady, you can't stop eating, hurry up and eat, go to the market first after eating, otherwise the market will disperse when you come out of the hospital." Qiu Shaoliang could only shake his head helplessly.

Both sides of the street are full of vegetable stalls, meat cases, department stores, and daily necessities, which are basically complete.

The roads are in disrepair, potholes, dusty in some areas, sewage in others, garbage everywhere, and flies scurrying around.

But it is still the economic, cultural, and political center of the town, as the town's best primary school and the largest governing body, the township government, are located on this dilapidated street.

There are those who sell sugar gourds, and the fourth child does not move his feet, and he looks at it with his eyes.

"You glutton." Ling Er took two strings to her, and then asked the third child to pay.

There are also twist candy, oil cakes, and steamed dumplings, and the fourth child still makes old mistakes, and he can't walk when he sees food.

"You really made a mistake, you should find a cook Lao Tzu, why are you born in this poor country." Ling Er simply gave her two yuan and let her buy it.

walked to the meat case and cut two catties of meat for the third child to carry, Huang Zhiqiang hesitated for a moment, and then cut a catty of meat.

There were potatoes and eggplants that were sold, and Ling Er bought five or six catties together and put them on the back seat of Huang Zhiqiang.

It was already past eight o'clock when I got home.

The eldest sister was watering the vegetable garden, and when she saw him buying so many vegetables and coming back, she asked, "Isn't there nothing at home, why do you buy these?" ”

Ling Er said, "It's not enough to eat." ”

The eldest sister said angrily, "I won't finish eating tomatoes, edamame, and peppers." ”

Ling Er said, "You can't eat it every day." ”

Not to mention the stew, potatoes and eggplant are delicious together.

After staying at home for three days, his high school entrance examination score came out, unexpectedly, the score was not as high as he imagined, and he did not enter the top ten in the county.

But instead of being too happy, he frowned.

Because he still hasn't come back.

He came back the day after his high school entrance examination scores.

Did he think something had changed because of being born again?

He didn't play his cards according to the routine?

"You're all going to go to high school in the city, and you're going to help each other in the future." Liu Guangxing is even happier than the Ling family, although his daughter was not admitted to the first middle school in the city, nor the second middle school in the city, but entered the third middle school in the city like Huang Zhiqiang.

However, it was also enough to make him happy.

Even if his daughter can't be admitted to college, it is still the highest education of their old Liu family.

Besides, Ling Er and he analyzed that the third middle school is not good, and it is difficult to take the undergraduate examination, but it should not take much effort to take the junior college examination!

You can't take a college student as a college student!

It's better than secondary school students!

"Don't worry, go to the city with me, the three of us together, no one can lie to us," Ling Er answered without a stubble, and then asked, "Uncle, what about the household registration?" ”

He paid the family planning fine and waited for when he would open his household registration.

Liu Guangxing said, "I gave the certificate to your eldest sister yesterday, boss, you just take the certificate to the police station." ”

"Oh, I'll go tomorrow." Only then did the eldest sister remember and forget to tell Ling Er.

"That's good." Ling Er threw away the thatch in his mouth that he used to pick his teeth.

He spent two more days at home, and he still didn't hear from him.

Even the eldest sister counted with her fingers wrenched, "Shouldn't it, it's been a few days?" ”

Ling Er said, "Then leave it alone." ”

He didn't know what was wrong, and he really didn't care.

Early the next morning, he beckoned Shang Linglong to accompany him to the city.

is about to go to high school, studying in the city, he has to bring his eldest sister and them, and the family needs a house.

The car to the city was a car from the county, and the two of them stopped one on the road, sat in the car for about forty minutes, and when they arrived at the bus station, the sun had already appeared.

"Why don't you wait here, and I'll go find someone and ask for directions?" Although Ling Long had been a soldier and had seen the world outside, it was the first time he had come to the city.

Ling Shuangshou waved and said, "Just follow me." ”

There was a rickshaw soliciting passengers at the exit of the bus station, and he pulled Ling Long to sit on it and followed the master to tell the address.

"Sit down, let's go now, and we'll be at the intersection of the two corners." The master was in his forties, and his dark face was full of smiles.

The sun had just turned red, but the temperature was very high, and the hilly terrain of Gaocheng was a section high, a section lower, and he only pedaled for a mile, and the sweat on his head had begun to drip down his face.

Ling Long said, "Master, if you can't do it, let's change it, and I'll kick." ”

He was embarrassed.

The master said, "It's coming soon." ”

As soon as the words fell, at an intersection, he stopped the car and pointed to a large doorway, "That is a middle school." ”

"Thank you." Ling Er handed over five cents.

He didn't go to school, after all, it didn't start, and there was no point in going in.

Ling Long bought two bottles of soda from the commissary opposite the school, gave Ling Er one bottle and asked, "Where are you going now?" ”

Ling Er said, "Let's inquire while we go." ”

He was no stranger to the city.

At this time, Gaocheng has not yet expanded, if he is asked to describe, one word is old, two words are dilapidated, and three words are very dilapidated.

The so-called city center is nothing more than a patchwork of several intersections, and the tallest building is only one Xinhua bookstore.

Although No. 1 Middle School is not a suburb, it is at least a remote area, and along the Weihe River, where sand suction boats roar, there are some factories and factory family areas.

He walked into the family courtyard of the fertilizer factory, which was a tiled house with a yard, and he liked it very much, but after asking around, few people paid attention to him.

Funny!

The property rights of the house belong to the factory, and it has nothing to do with them personally!

You can rent, but you can't sell it.

Ling Er patted his head, he was stupid, how could he understand this.

I continued to walk forward on the dusty road, my feet covered with stinky sweat, and I didn't let go.

They hadn't gone far when they faintly heard someone calling for them.

Ling Long said, "It's calling us." ”

Ling Er turned around and saw a young man in a white sweatshirt, pulling a cart with one hand and waving at them with the other.

Ling Long lit a cigarette and waited for him to come over and asked, "Brother, is there something?" ”

"Are you going to rent a house?" The young man asked.

Ling Er said, "It's to buy a house." ”

He looked at the young man, who was not very old, not very tall, with narrow shoulders, a shirt with holes, and a shriveled head with messy hair.

This was his first meeting with Pan Youcheng.

If we follow the bloody words of later economic historians: "In 1988, summer, high temperature, no wind.

The godfather of Chinese business is just a little kid who doesn't welcome people and runs trains with his mouth.

But on this day, Chairman Pan Youcheng, who is known as the godfather of business No. 001 and has incredible business talent, miraculously discovered Mr. Ling Er's Wang Ba Qi, and the mountains looked up, and the admiration was simply difficult to contain.

Since then, the vehicle of history has rolled forward...."

And Pan Youcheng was obviously looking at Ling Long, so he didn't look at Ling Er at all.

"We want to buy a house if we don't rent it." Ling Long saw that he didn't reply to Ling Er's words, and finally became impatient.

"My name is Pan Youcheng." He stretched out his hand and said, "Are you going to buy a house?" ”

He scratched his head.

Ling Er asked, "Brother, we're short on time, if you're okay, we'll leave first." ”

"No, what price do you give, you want to buy a house." Pan Youcheng smiled and said, "I just don't know what price you give." ”

Ling Er walked up to the cart, lifted the woven bag covering it and looked at it, and said with a smile, "You are selling radish tassels, the season is not right, so wilting, who wants it." ”

The so-called radish tassel is actually a radish leaf, in winter, vegetables are less cut and expensive, whether it is in the city or in the countryside, they like to store a little, mix in the tofu residue or fry to eat, it is better than hard pickpocketed rice.

Pan Youcheng smiled and said, "It's cheap, it's okay to sell it." ”

Ling Long said, "Are you local?" ”

Their county is not big, but they are like the frogs in the well, there is a kind of self-confidence, except for the people of this county, the people in the city a little to the south, in their eyes are also outsiders, they are all called little barbarians.

The basis for judging is simple, but they have a different accent from the city.

It is similar to the accent of Xia Cai City next door, and later the administrative planning was successfully divided into Xia Cai City, but they are not intimate with each other, because Xia Cai City is northern, and it is an old man who eats pasta.

It's a fellow in his mouth, and what he thinks in his heart, that's the ghost knows.

In short, they are not in the south or in the north, they are simply a wonderful flower in the land of Jianghuai.

Pan Youcheng said, "No, I'm from Shipo Shop, I heard that you want to buy a house, and I'm walking the streets and alleys, and I just happened to meet a family who wants to sell a house." ”

Ling Er said with a smile, "I bought a house to study in No. 1 Middle School, it's too far away." ”

"It's not far," Pan Youcheng said, "just by the river, a mile ahead, the key people are not cheap." ”

"Brother, I won't let you run away in vain, take us there, whether it succeeds or not, it will be your benefit." Ling Erdao.

If it weren't for the benefits, of course the other party wouldn't be so enthusiastic and catch up from afar.

Pan Youcheng said, "Well..."

Deliberately dragging a long note.

Ling Er said, "In this way, don't you say the location, you can tell me about the situation of the house, let's go and have a look." ”

Pan Youcheng said, "The old man used to be a cadre of the agricultural machinery factory, and the old lady was a teacher, but now they are all retired." The house is newly renovated with eight rooms before and after.

As a result, his son, who was just under forty years old, had uremia, and his daughter-in-law ran away and didn't ask about anything, and now they have to take care of their son and grandson, and they have to spend money everywhere.

That little savings are not enough, so you have to sell the house. ”

Seeing Ling Er handing over the five yuan, he excused himself, "I'm so embarrassed about this." ”

"Don't fake it, they're all businessmen, take it," Ling Er stuffed it directly into his pocket, "Take us there." ”
