Qian Yongqiang waved his hand at Huang Youcai, signaling him not to do it yet. He grabbed Wang Ziren's arm and asked excitedly, "Brother Wang, why are you here?" Did I find you? Where do you live now? ”

Wang Ziren was also very happy to see Qian Yongqiang, so he briefly explained the causes and consequences of coming here, and then asked Qian Yongqiang: "Do you know these people?" ”

Qian Yongqiang called Huang Youcai and Li Qiming to him and introduced them both: "This is the big brother I often tell you about, when I came to Nanjing, he took special care of me!" ”

Then he said to Wang Ziren: "These two are my best friends, we usually live together, and we do business together!" Treat yourself like a brother。。。。。 ”

"Closer than brothers!" Huang Youcai hurriedly said.

"I envy you!" Wang Ziren looked at the three young people and said sincerely.

"You're so strong!" Huang Youcai pinched Wang Ziren's shoulder and said.

"Young man, you're not bad either!" Wang Ziren laughed.

Several people laughed at the same time, only Lao Jia and Qi Xiaofei seemed to be watching a play. Qi Xiaofei couldn't stop pouting; Lao Jia kept snorting.

Immediately afterwards, Qian Yongqiang briefly told Wang Ziren what happened yesterday. Wang Ziren smiled at Huang Youcai and Li Qiming and nodded.

"Master, if you call him Big Brother, we can't call him Brother Wang anymore, if this messes up the generations, Li Qiming and I will call him Master! Master Wang! ”

"Master Wang!"

"Our brothers are commensurate, you just call me Brother Wang, and that's it!"

Huang Youcai and Li Qiming looked at each other and smiled. Huang Youcai shouted: "Brother Wang! ”

"Master Wang!" Li Qiming said shyly.

"True Axis!" Huang Youcai said with a smile.

Li Qiming did not call "Brother Wang", but still called "Master Wang". In his mind, Qian Yongqiang is his master, although Qian Yongqiang treats him like a brother, he regards him as a teacher all the time.

Brother, he can't call the elder brother, doesn't that mess up the generations? It's one thing what people call him, it's another thing how he calls others. At a young age, my heart is clear.

Wang Ziren didn't notice Li Qiming's demeanor, but he just felt that this child was so thin. Qian Yongqiang is thin enough, he is thinner than Qian Yongqiang, and he is a head shorter.

"It's okay to call it, let's all be together, don't be inhibited." The prince glanced at Li Qiming lovingly and said gently.

Instead, Wang Ziren asked Qian Yongqiang: "Xiao Qian, what business do you do?" You've taken in apprentices again? ”

Wang Ziren was very happy to see that Qian Yongqiang was much more mature and stable than when he first met.

"Brother Wang, we are in the business of book wholesale!" Huang Youcai smiled and said, "Master Qian Yongqiang took us to do it!" ”

"Where. We learn from each other together, and they are both so humble that I'm embarrassed to call them! Qian Yongqiang shook his head shyly.

Huang Youcai suddenly found that Lao Jia was standing straight next to him, pulling the bag containing the roast duck in Qi Xiaofei's hand.

"Lao Jia, how are you 。。。。。。 Your waist is not broken? You pretended to be yesterday? ”

Seeing Lao Jia as if he was fine, Huang Youcai's eyes widened, and his fists clenched. "Good boy, dare you lie to me! Give us the money back! Otherwise, be careful that I will beat you! ”

Li Qiming was afraid that things would get bigger, so he hurriedly grabbed Huang Youcai's arm.

"I'm fine, no! What a hell of a day! Lao Jia was stunned for a moment, and then turned to Qi Xiaofei, not even the roast duck that was about to arrive, and walked towards the bed hatefully, muttering something in his mouth.

Huang Youcai pointed at Lao Jia and said angrily to Qian Yongqiang: "Lao Jia, this turtle grandson, he lied to us!" His waist wasn't broken at all! ”

Then Huang Youcai told Qian Yongqiang about Qi Xiaofei borrowing money from Lao Jia.

Qian Yongqiang looked at Lao Jia's limping back and sighed helplessly: "Forget it, this matter is over." You won't have to take care of him in the future, just treat him as if he was today. Let's go. ”

Seeing the opportunity, Qi Xiaofei hurriedly slipped away with half a roast duck.

The four of them came to Qian Yongqiang's residence together, Huang Youcai and Li Qiming went to buy wine and vegetables, and Wang Ziren and Qian Yongqiang sat together to talk about their feelings after parting.

"You're buying and selling second-hand books, aren't you?" Wang Ziren looked at Qian Yongqiang's room full of old books and asked.

"Well, my body is too thin to do the work on the construction site, it is easier to do this, and it is more profitable than working on the construction site." Qian Yongqiang pointed to the room full of books and said, "I bought them at the purchase station, and some of them were purchased directly from people's homes." ”

Wang Ziren nodded and said: "It's good to make more money, everything you say these years is fake, only when you make money is true!" ”

"Brother Wang, after I started business, I went to your original place to look for you several times, but I didn't find you. Where have you been? ”

"I went back to my hometown, my father is a few years old, he is not in good health, he was hospitalized some time ago, I took care of it for a while!"

"You're back now, is your uncle's health getting better?"

"It took a while, and then I was discharged." Wang Ziren suddenly became sad, "A few days after being discharged from the hospital, people will not be able to do it." If he goes to the hospital again, he won't go alive or dead, saying that he will go at home。。。。。。 Within a few days, the people were gone! ”

"I'm sorry, Brother Wang, I shouldn't have asked this, it touched on your sad things!" Qian Yongqiang saw that Wang Ziren's eyes were a little ruddy, and he couldn't bear it.

"It's nothing, birth, old age, sickness and death, human nature. It's just that my old father has worked hard all his life, and he hasn't enjoyed a single day of happiness, and I feel sorry for him in my heart! ”

"Alas, aren't all the rural people of that era like this, even now, they are also living to old age, working until they are old. When the farm is busy, he is busy in the field, and when he is free, he goes to the city to work! ”

Qian Yongqiang thought of his mother, an extremely thin rural woman, who often had to carry much heavier grain on her back and shuttle through the fields when she was busy with the farm. Sometimes, the road is slippery on rainy days, and you have to fall several times a day.

Year after year of hard work, year after year of poverty, the final harvest is still poor. This seems to go into an endless loop.

His mother said to him, "It's fate! ”

But he didn't believe in fate.

Mom also said, "The only way to change is to go to school well." Although the family is poor, you have to go to school by smashing pots and selling iron! ”

But despite his efforts, he has not yet gone to school.

Thinking of this, Qian Yongqiang's heart was like a knife. He held back tears rolling in his eyes。。。。。。

Wang Ziren continued: "Even if I don't work in the city, I will do some small business - just like you and me, busy all day long, I don't know where the future is, when I was a child, my future was in the city, and now I am in the city, and I feel at a loss." ”

"If we want to change this situation, we have to do business well, make money, and everything will be solved. The confusion and hard work are all because of poverty! ”

Qian Yongqiang's eyes looked firmly at the gray sky outside the window, and he was thinking in his heart, how to accumulate funds, how to make the business bigger step by step.

Wang Ziren listened to Qian Yongqiang's words, and seemed to understand.

"We just met, we should be happy, these heavy topics, we will talk about it later. Lao Wang, I am now alone, I have nothing to worry about, so I can go to the world with you young people! ”

"Brother Wang, at your age, you should get married and have children, why are you still alone?"

"At this age, grandchildren should have them!" Wang Ziren smiled bitterly and said:

"What about me, hehe, fate hasn't arrived!"

Qian Yongqiang smiled: "Brother Wang, do you believe this too?" ”

"What can you do if you don't believe?" Wang Ziren said helplessly: "When I was young, I was restless, I ran towards the city all day long, and I didn't have the heart to find a partner in the countryside, but now that I am older, there is no suitable person to go back to the countryside, let alone the city!" ”

"Brother Wang, what are your plans for the future?"

"I didn't think that far, I just wanted to live in the moment!"

"Have you ever wondered what to do when you're old? My uncle is old and sick, and you are there to serve you, and when you are old? Qian Yongqiang was worried about Wang Ziren.

"You said that you doll, at such a young age, why are you old-fashioned?" Wang Ziren pretended to be free and easy to say, "Life and death have a fate, and wealth is in the sky." What is there to worry about?

"I don't believe that when others die, they are buried in the earth, and that I can still float in the sky after I die? In the end, don't everyone turn into mud? ”

Qian Yongqiang nodded, remembering what the master had said to him. turned to give this sentence to Wang Ziren: "Brother Wang, you are kind-hearted, you must be blessed!" ”

"Alas-" Wang Ziren looked at Qian Yongqiang's young face, touched his face full of vicissitudes of life, and said with emotion: "I haven't thought about what you said, but what's the use of just thinking about it, adding trouble!" ”

Wang Ziren looked at Qian Yongqiang, and then looked at his room full of books and said: "It's good to be young, and it's good to have a brain." You've figured out a way to find it.

"I can't do it anymore, I'm old, I can't learn these things, and the books I receive are sold directly to the acquisition station, and I can't make a few dollars! It would be great if I could be like you, I really envy you! ”

"Brother Wang, do you really want to do this? In fact, it is not difficult to do this business! Qian Yongqiang heard Wang Ziren's voice, it seemed that he was quite interested in buying and selling second-hand books, and he was very excited:

I used to float alone in this unfamiliar place, alone, feeling lonely, and often bullied. Later, when he met Huang Youcai and Li Qiming, he felt better;

If Brother Wang can join again, then our team will be even stronger, and we will no longer be afraid of being bullied by others in the future. If Brother Wang can move over and live with everyone again, then this courtyard will be even more lively.

"Really, I, a person who doesn't know much about reading, can buy and sell second-hand books like you?" Hearing Qian Yongqiang say this, Wang Ziren was also very happy. Seeing Qian Yongqiang nodding, he took Qian Yongqiang's hand and said, "Little brother, you can teach me more in the future!" ”

"Brother Wang, you are too polite! Let's do this business together in the future! By the way, Brother Wang, you can usually receive a lot of books when you receive them, so you don't have any good ones? ”

"I, I don't understand at all, I don't know what the book is worth, what is not worth it, and I sold it all 。。。。。。。" Suddenly remembering something, Wang Ziren slapped his thigh and said:

"By the way, I have a stamp album, but I didn't sell it when I heard that it should be valuable, and I don't know where to sell it or how much it should be sold, so I keep it."

"Where's the thing?"

"Where I live."

"Let's go, let's see, stamps are good things, maybe there is a lot of value in them."

"Really, how much money do you think it's worth?"

"Good, rarer thousands; It's very good, it's rare in the world that it's worth tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands! ”

"Then let's go quickly, you can help me take a look!" Wang Ziren couldn't wait to pull Qian Yongqiang and walked towards the door.
