As soon as the three rats heard that Niu Erzhu was going to retreat, he was stunned, you don't want him to be usually timid, it depends on what happens, as long as he has anything to do with money, this kid is bolder than anyone else, it's no wonder that the three rats themselves are a Buddha who is in his pocket, and he can't do this line of work without this guts.

After talking about three rats for a long time, he didn't say a word about his origin, this person is also the main character in this book, and I have to add it in detail here. The three rats are originally from Shanxi, the grandfather's generation fled to Tianjin, the three rats are neither his milk name, nor his tuba, but the nickname in the rivers and lakes, this person's scientific name is fortune, you don't think this name is soil, there are very few literate people in the old society, and what I care about every day is how to fill my stomach, wear warm clothes, and it is best to make a fortune. The parents of the three rats are all coarse who don't know a single big word, and they don't shy away from it, so they directly name their son and make a fortune. Although this name is not very good, it sounds auspicious, but it is a pity that my surname is not good, the surname Bu, even together called Bu Facai, do you say this can be good?

Bu Facai's grandfather originally wanted to Tianjin to find food, they have a relative here, is the nephew of the old man Bu, ten years ago from his hometown to Tianjin, every three or five to go back to a while, every time he goes back to his hometown is to show off his might, the head is on the top hat, the body is half-new cocoon silk gown, there is also a bells and whistles in the hand of the civilized stick, carrying a sassy girl, the aisle is one step and three shakes, as if the whole road can not hold him. The countryman is shallow-eyed, he has never seen the world, and when he sees him so showy, they all think that he has made a fortune, and they rush to flatter him, and this kid is not polite, pouting his mouth, and he is not convinced, as if everyone owes him two dollars.

The Bu family was originally related to this kid, but now that he has won the will, he naturally has to stammer, and every time he comes back, he has to invite him to drink, and take out the family's New Year's goods to entertain him. This kid loves to pour horse urine the most, but the amount of alcohol is not large, three glasses of wine do not know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, saying that he is now a celebrity under Boss Cao, Boss Cao's hands and eyes are all over the sky, and Cao Kun, the overseer of Zhili, is a brother, in Tianjin, Wei stomped a foot of the sea and the river flowed backwards, that force was boundless, even the Shanxi overseer Yan Xishan had to give a few thin noodles, and he came back this time Yan Lao Xi'er sent a rickshaw to pull him over. Ladies and gentlemen, do you say that he has a score in his speech, not to mention anything else, if he really wants to be able to talk to Yan Xishan, can Lao Xi'er send a broken rickshaw to send him, isn't that the old face of his feudal official? It can be seen that this kid is just Hu Yi at all, but the old man is an old man from the countryside, and he is simple by nature, how do you know if what he said is true or false? It was all taken seriously at the time. It is also unlucky, this year's drought in Shanxi, the family is so poor that they can't open the pot, seeing that the family is about to starve to death, the old man is really holding back, and suddenly remembered that he has a promising nephew, and he has the backbone when he lands, and the family discussed, cleaned up the rags, pulled the sack all the way to eat, and finally arrived in Tianjin.

Lao Butou arrived in Tianjin, and asked around about this nephew who was soaring, don't you say, there are really a lot of people who know him, three inquiries and two inquiries, and he really looks for the right master. But the people also found it, and the old man Bu was dumbfounded, and when he saw what kind of dignitary and noble this nephew was, he was clearly a coolie, not much better than himself, his boss was surnamed Cao, but he had nothing to do with Cao Dashuai, but the family drove a car dealership, and there was a few money, but he was an iron rooster who did not pull out a dime. The grandfather of the three rats repented of all his intestines, and he knew that this was the case, so it was better to wait for death at home, and save himself the sin of suffering this way.

When that kid saw someone from his hometown asking for help, he was a little dumbfounded at the time, he was so poor that he couldn't even afford to support his wife and children, how could he have spare money to be given to others? However, people trekked through mountains and rivers to take refuge, and they couldn't ignore it, not to mention anything else, and when they went back to their hometown to reveal their old bottoms, they would never have the face to go back. This man knew that he couldn't be lazy, so he had to coax the old man sweetly, so that he could settle them down, and talk about it later.

Lao Bu's family settled in a dilapidated house where no one lived, and after a few days, he finally inquired and understood the details of this kid, it turned out that this nephew was a rubber puller, tired and tired all day long, and he couldn't earn a few pounds of stick face money, and the outfit he went home was not borrowed, or rented by two eldest sons a day, and even the woman was a secret prostitute, and she went home to give someone a piece of ocean. The old man even had the heart to kill him, but now, there is no other way, if he wants to go back to Shanxi, he will starve to death halfway, and Tianjin has no other acquaintances, so he has to go down and beg him again, this pretending nephew. Although this grandson is used to playing tricks and doing things well, it didn't take two days for his father to find a reason for the three rats, and like him, he went to Boss Cao to pull the rubber.

The so-called pulling rubber, that is, pulling rickshaws, this thing is called rickshaws in Beijing, rickshaws in Shanghai, to put it bluntly, it is called "Wang Ba" car, Tianjin is called rubber, there is such a number in the three religions and nine streams, but it is the lower nine streams, and a day to the death of a tired thief can not earn a few big sons, but there is also a difference here, will do business, generally hooked with gangs, every day to the railway station, docks and wait, other people do not pull, specifically pull outsiders, he did not have any kind eyes, this passerby takes the wrong way, a lot of money from foreigners, Pulling so many times a day, the whole family will have a chewing wrap, this kind of person is actually pointing to the cart to deceive people. Those who don't know how to do business, pull cars around the streets, pull people, pull goods, stare all day long, can't speak, sometimes not only can't make money, but also have to be beaten if they don't get it right.

The father of the three rats is an honest farmer, where do he know these twists and turns, he has to be beaten every three or five times, and the money is pitiful, but in order for the family to eat gruel, he has to swallow his anger.

In the second year of the Bu family's arrival in Tianjin, the three rats were born, this guy was born thin and weak, and he was malnourished since he was a child, much shorter than his peers, which gave him the nickname of the three rats. The Bu family added Ding to the import, and it was naturally a happy event to have descendants, but the burden on the family increased, which also added a little sadness. The three rats are hungry and full, the milk is insufficient, the snack is rice soup, and when he grows up, he will have some gruel, and his body is extremely thin, and the family is worried when they see him, for fear that he will starve to death that day, but they are not really afraid that he will have braids, and the child can be regenerated when he dies, but it costs money to buy a coffin to do white things, and the family will be worse. But it's strange to say, this kid has a thin handful of bones, and he drinks a few grains of rice porridge every day, but he is getting more and more energetic day by day, and there is no problem at all, his parents and elders think that he is used to living a hard life, and he can endure hunger, but he is glad and doesn't care about him, how do you know that this kid is born with a stunt, that is, stealing!

In fact, it's no wonder that the three rats, half of the eldest child eats the poor old man, it is the time to grow the body, and he eats more than the adults, but there is no extra food at home, is he waiting to starve to death? The so-called poor and treacherous rich conscience, the world is like this, half a child in order to survive, steal one or two steamed buns, nest heads, it is understandable, but the three rats are a little bad, that is, the mouth is too greedy, pancakes, cakes, twist he can't hit the eyes, specializing in stealing other people's chickens, ducks and poultry, don't say, this kid was born to do this line of material, since he taught himself this craft, he has never missed once.

On this day, the three-mouse family was cut off again, and his father ran for a day without a job, and there was no money in his hand, so the whole family had to starve. Adults are quite easy to say, it will pass after a long time, but the three rats were teenagers at that time, and the appetite was the best, where could they bear it, barely until the middle of the night, they couldn't stand it anymore, the stomach was like a pot, and it hurt so much, the three rats got up with a bone, and said no, if I went on like this, I would have to starve to death, so it was better to take advantage of the darkness and go out to get some wild food and come back.
