Early the next morning, Li Dong followed Li's father to the scrap yard, and had a brief chat with Daddy last night, and he had a general understanding of the relevant situation.

"Dongzi, you see that it is the result of my time of time, I have carefully checked it, the quality is okay, and it is not completely corroded." Father Li opened a door, pointed to a pile of broken copper and iron, and said to Li Dong.

"Yo, it's a lot, why doesn't anyone in the city accept this thing?"

Li Dong was also taken aback by the pile of tattered volumes in front of him, which occupied a small half of the room, mostly discarded steel bars and machine parts.

"It was more than 156 tons in total, and it cost more than 6,300 yuan. Dongzi, is this scrap business reliable? I can inquire clearly, there is a government in the urban area that runs a recycling station, and it does not collect everything, and there are some sporadic businesses that are buying, but the quality requirements are very high. ”

Li's father said worriedly, according to the eldest son's requirements, he generally only collects scrap metal, and the price is also based on the only recycling station, but the quality requirements are reduced a lot.

From the beginning, the business was very hot, and he was still very happy, thinking that he had lived up to the trust of his eldest son. It's a pity that it didn't take long for gossip to appear on the market, and everyone was saying that he Li Dang was a fool who couldn't do business at all, and sooner or later he would have to lose everything.

Li's father was half angry, and ran to an insider to inquire, only to learn that the recycling station recycles some daily necessities, although waste metal is also collected, but it is some high-strength metal alloys. Afterwards, if it hadn't been for the child's mother who persuaded him, he would have picked on his son a long time ago.

"Don't worry, Daddy, we don't recycle these scrap metals for secondary reprocessing, but directly return to the furnace for rerefining, so it doesn't matter if the quality is really good, you can boldly buy it." Don't care what other people say, they can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour. ”

Li Dong cheered up Daddy, this is better, anyway, the space is not picky, he can also buy more scrap metal. After this batch of metals is absorbed, the space can probably increase by about 45 acres of land, and together, the space will have an area of about 200 acres, which can be regarded as a small farm.

"Okay, it's good not to lose money, by the way, when are you going to ship this batch of scrap iron? I'm not worried about it all the time. Father Li breathed a sigh of relief, and then became worried.

"That's it, Daddy, you give me the key, I'll contact the truck, and I'll transport it away today or tomorrow night, and you don't have to worry about it." By the way, this is 10,000 yuan, you return the 5,000 yuan to A-Niang, and the rest should be used as recovery funds. ”

Fortunately, Father Li chose a relatively remote place in order to be greedy for cheapness. It is deserted all around, and it is two or three kilometers away from the city, so you don't need to hide it at all, and you can move directly into the space.

"That's okay, I'll take the money, this is the key, I have an extra one, I'll let you go in the future, don't lose it." Although they are all a family, Li's father is still not used to taking money from his wife, which makes him feel a little like eating soft rice, so he simply accepted the money handed over by his eldest son.

At noon, he went home with Li's father for lunch, and Li Dong left his father and mother behind, saying that he had something to discuss.

"Daddy, Auntie, I have good news for you." Li Dong coughed and solemnly announced: "Our family has a new house, and it will be ...... in the capital."

Lu Xiumei really couldn't hold her breath, and immediately interjected: "You kid, why don't you discuss such a big matter with us." ”

"Okay, don't interrupt, let's listen to Dongzi in detail." After speaking, he motioned for Li Dong to continue.

"Ahem, the specific situation is like this, didn't I go to the capital a few days ago to investigate, and I came across a very good opportunity.

……

In this way, I took out a loan to buy a house, opened a shop below, and could live in it. If the business is good, the loan will be paid off in three or four years, and the whole family may be able to move their household registration there. ”

Li Dong's mouth was dry, and he finally told him a rough overview of what happened, of course, some details that should not be made public, should be concealed.

"Dongzi, well done, Daddy is proud of you." Father Li patted Li Dong on the shoulder, his face was full of pride, there is a son like this, what more can a husband ask for.

Lu Xiumei is more realistic, she has long been immune to her eldest son's shrewdness and ability, and the only thing she cares about is who will go to the capital to open a store, so she asked:

"Dongzi, who is going to open a store in the capital, it can't be yourself, you still have to deliver vegetables to the two stores at home?"

Of course, Li Dong understands the meaning behind this sentence, and the implication is that A-Niang is the most suitable person. This is also his original intention, he was afraid that A-Niang would not agree, but he didn't expect her to be so highly motivated, which can be regarded as an unexpected surprise. Therefore, he replied to Ah Niang's words:

"Auntie, my cousin is also out of school, don't you just have time, I want you to go to the new store in charge of the capital, where the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and I don't worry about other people."

"No, A-Niang still has to take care of the family, and besides, Xiao Wu is still young, and she can't do without people at all." Father Li ignored his wife's angry gaze and still objected.

"Daddy, don't worry, I've already thought about this. I got five temporary residence permits in the capital, and A-Niang can bring Xiao Wu with her, the education conditions over there are good, and Xiao Wu should also go to kindergarten.

In addition, the new store is not small, and I am afraid that A-Niang will have to take care of the children, and she will not be busy alone. So if you want grandma and grandpa to go over together, it's good to give Auntie a hand, of course, the salary still has to be paid, just like my cousin. ”

"It's a good idea, your grandfather will definitely agree, if the conditions didn't allow it, they would have wanted to go to the capital a long time ago." Lu Xiumei couldn't wait to say that this is better, she can also let her father and mother enjoy their old age.

Li Dong saw that Daddy's face was still hesitant, knowing that he was happy that the whole family was finally reunited, but he was going to live in a different place in a few days, and he was definitely not very happy.

"Daddy, are you reluctant to Auntie. Rest assured, this is only temporary, and our family will definitely be able to move to the capital next year, and we will be separated for a year. Besides, it's not that we can't see each other, I still have to run at both ends often, so you can go with me then. Li Dong quipped.

Father Li was a little embarrassed by what his eldest son said, so he quickly nodded and agreed. Lu Xiumei also blushed and rolled her eyes at Father Li, secretly blaming him for being disrespectful to the elderly, but her heart was beautiful.

"Okay, since you have agreed, then it has been decided, and we will leave on time next Wednesday. By the way, Daddy, you still have to accompany your mother back to Grandma's house, it's best to pick up Grandma and Grandpa in advance. Li Dong finally reminded.

"Then tomorrow, it's only a few days away, so it's better to prepare early." Lu Xiumei made the final decision.

Father Li nodded, usually he has no say in these small things. It just so happened that Dongzi was going to dispose of the scrap iron in stock, and he would be closed for a day tomorrow, so Father Li could only comfort himself like this.
