Chapter 53: Closing the Bill, Saying Goodbye to the Old and Welcoming the New

After Fang Zhancai asked to go back his account, Wang Defa was obviously much more low-key than before, and rarely used his cold storage business in front of others. He didn't know how Fang Zhancai knew that he was rich, but it must have something to do with his usual show-off. If you stand on the street and brag, if you blow it out of the sky, the speed of transmission is beyond people's imagination.

Wang Defa's quiet purpose is to try not to alarm the fruit farmers with the purchase contract, if they come together to ask for accounts, for him, the matter of planting apples after the beginning of spring may be in vain.

In fact, thinking about this problem from the account, Wang Defa ignored one point, as an old accountant, he would not understand that the money he held in his hand should be his own, and the fruit farmer should be the fruit farmer. The pros and cons of this Wang Defa is very clear in his heart, when the rumors are spread on the chess stall, there are many young people who want to do a cold storage business at the beginning of next spring, and the competitive pressure next year will be more and more great. The pressure of competition is high, and it will definitely compress their profit margins, and then these fruit farmers will have more sales options, but they may not necessarily have to sell to him Wang Defa.

Fang Zhancai was the first to ask for accounts, and the second fruit farmers to ask for accounts were precisely the fruit farmers of Fangjiazhuang, not one, but more than a dozen. Fang Zhancai's family lives in Fangjiazhuang. This matter must be inseparable from Fang Zhancai.

Fangjiazhuang is in the east of the town, not very far away, and it is more than half an hour away by bicycle. Wang Defa collects more than ten apples in Fangjiazhuang, all of which belong to one village, and whoever cooks in the west knows what news or something happens in the east, and it is almost transparent in the entire village.

More than a dozen households in Fangjiazhuang who sold fruits to Wang Defa made an appointment to come to Wang Defa's house.

More than a dozen people set off after eating steamed buns and drinking tea in the morning, rushing to eat at noon, and estimated that Wang Defa must have come when he was at home.

Wang Defa's family was eating lunch when they were suddenly called out by the noise outside the door. Wang Defa was dumbfounded when he went out, all of them were fruit farmers from Fangjiazhuang, and when he saw these faces, Wang Defa immediately understood what he meant.

"Come in, everyone come in first!" Wang Defa was a little nervous and welcomed a dozen people into the room.

Seeing this, the woman put down the chopsticks in her hand and ran to various rooms to find stools. Although this room is newly renovated, it can accommodate more than a dozen people at once, except that there are not enough stools, and it is more crowded when people stand.

"Boss Wang, how many of us, let's get straight to the point, I came today, just to settle the apple money, at the end of the year, who doesn't need the money?" A leader sits down and goes straight to the point, even if he comes to ask for accounts, why beat around the bush.

"Brother and brother came just today, the apple was sold a few days ago, I haven't been busy sorting out the cold storage recently, thinking about going to the door to settle the account for you in the past few days, I didn't expect you to come today, better. A few days ago, I settled the project money for your Zhuang Fang's wealth. "Wang Defa's kung fu in saying a set of words before and after people is really admirable, and his words are beautiful.

Wang Defa looked at the posture, if they can't take their money today, it is estimated that it will be difficult to send them out of the house, he knows the current affairs, and this money has to be given.

"If Boss Wang thinks like this, I'm afraid that you will forget our money, so you won't bother to go to our village again."

"That's it, that's it, we just happened to be here today, and you don't have to make another trip!" Others echoed.

"Okay, let's take all the contracts with you?"

"Take it!" Everyone said in unison.

"That's okay, it's according to the contract, and I'll settle the account for everyone now." Wang Defa saw that he couldn't drag it, so he readily agreed.

"Old woman, you collect the contract next to you, read out the amount, and I'll give you some money!" Wang Defa said to the woman.

"Okay."

Wang Defa took out the money from his cabinet and got ready.

A room of people looked at the money in Wang Defa's hand and felt steady, not in a hurry, and the one who was close started to settle the bill first.

The woman received a contract, and Wang Defa handed over the money according to the amount. It's like a trading market in the house. After taking the money, the faces of more than a dozen fruit farmers were filled with happiness.

Wang Defa took advantage of the fact that everyone was getting up to leave and said: "Brothers, brothers, let you come in person, I'm really embarrassed, you see that this account is settled, next year's fruit will come down, you must sell it to me, I promise to give you the best price, this is no problem, right?" ”

"No problem, next year when the apples come down, I'll wait for you to collect them, and I'll pay you at this speed, and no one else will sell them!"

This is the result that Wang Defa wants, the money is not delayed, so it will pave the way for next year's business, next year's competition will be big, and the last fight should be this friendship.

I didn't finish a lunch, and when I finished settling the accounts of everyone in Fangjiazhuang, the rice in the pot was already swollen and soft. The woman's meal in the kitchen bar was hot again, Wang Chenglong and Wang Laidi had already gone to school after eating, and Guisheng had only a few mouthfuls of food, and he had already played after eating.

Wang Defa and the woman were eating, Wang Defa, who was depressed, sighed after taking a bite, the only thing he felt was doing the right thing, that is, to settle the money of these dozen fruit farmers today, if it was a little delayed, it would be either noisy, or they would sell the fruit to others next year.

"If this money was settled for them a year ago, there would be not much left, this time the apples were sold, and we earned 9,000 yuan ourselves, and we settled 5,000 yuan for Fang Zhancai, and you can barely survive the New Year, and the apple trees after the year can be planted." Wang Defa said helplessly to the woman.

"I think it's already very good, it's only the first year, doing business, like a snowball, it's getting bigger and bigger, if you don't roll well at the beginning, it will definitely be too difficult later. As for the apple tree, I think we can plant it in two years, next year and the year after, which is staggered and easy to manage. I think this kind of apple is no less difficult than growing wheat. ”

"Well, let's see when the time comes, the others haven't been found to ask for accounts, see what the situation is, and then make a decision." Wang Defa said.

"I think, you have to do something a year ago, you said it yourself, next year many people are staring at building cold storage, then next year who has apples must be sold at a high price and give money quickly." I think you should take the initiative to go to these people before the year, settle the account, make some friends, and do business well next year. The woman said.

This woman is amazing, it's a pity that she is a woman, if she changes her identity with Wang Defa, what will she do.

Wang Defa listened to the woman's words, turned his head and glanced at her, he admired his woman very much, Wang Chenglong can have such a brain now, he definitely follows her mother, and his brain is definitely enough. What the woman said made sense, and it also solved the contradiction in Wang Defa's heart, the tree does not grow in a year and a half.

"I think what you said still makes sense, it's been more than a month, I just haven't turned this corner, let you say this, turn around, next year's trees, how much money you have, you can plant as much as you want, and the rest will be planted the year after tomorrow, these fruit farmers who have already bought and sold will also be key next year. Tomorrow I will skewer the accounts for each family. ”

"That's it, it's a good thing, this business, the most taboo is a hammer deal."

The next day, Wang Defa rode his bicycle and went from far and near to settle the bills for the fruit farmers who had not yet settled the bills.

The comparison between door-to-door checkout and door-to-door billing comes out. At that time, when the apples were harvested, it was Li Qiyang who drove his tricycle back and forth, and there was also a distance, Wang Defa rode his bicycle, got down in the morning, ran on the road, and settled the accounts of the five families, and it was already noon. When I went to the sixth house, I just caught up with someone eating. Wang Defa said that he came to settle the bill, and the family was pleasantly surprised, a rare boss who came to check out.

After the business was done, the whole family asked Wang Defa to stay and eat lunch, Wang Defa was not polite, this will be, there is no need to save face, Wang Defa gladly accepted.

After running for three days in a row, Wang Defa settled everyone's accounts, looking at the purchase and sale contract recovered in his hand, Wang Defa felt an inexplicable relief in his heart, watching everyone get their own money, he felt that this was not only making money, but also helping everyone make money, he seemed to have found the former accountant, the kind of glory and spirit that can do things for everyone.

After entering the wax moon, the taste of the year is getting stronger and stronger, every double day the town is full of selling New Year's goods, melon seeds, sugar, clothes, firecrackers, fresh vegetables in the vegetable cellar, meat, etc., usually rare food, drinking, wearing, using, playing, from the south of the street to the north, everything.

People from the surrounding mountain villages come to catch up with the market, every time they come, they will purchase as many New Year's goods as possible, and generally they have to catch two or three sets of New Year's goods, and they may not be able to purchase all the goods.

This year is the first year that Wang Defa has spent with his family after being imprisoned.

This year, Wang Defa has a lot of experiences and feelings. From a labor prisoner who was scorned by everyone, to being snubbed by a big woman after he came back; From trying to build a new house despite public opinion, to going to the city to see a doctor and find out the brain injury; From begging the captain to help Fang Zhancai repair the fruit cellar, to earning the first pot of gold; From calculating accounts to convincing yourself to be an honest businessman.

After being released from prison for more than half a year, Wang Defa has been substantial, and he is also trying his best to integrate into the town that has been separated for five years, he has experienced the warmth and coldness of human feelings, the heat and coldness of the world, the cruelty of reality, and the difficulty of women.

These are all experiences, and of course they are also Wang Defa's precious wealth, except for life, no one wants to tell him what the real face of this world is.

When Chinese New Year's Eve, everything was once familiar to Wang Defa, when it was almost dark, Wang Defa took three children to pick up paper for the old father at the door of the house, and then after the family burned incense and kowtowed in the upper room, Wang Defa went to the old case of the Wang family with the incense watch box.

When I came back, the family was eating meat and watching TV on the kang in the upper room. The dolls are waiting for the vigil to get the red envelope.

Wang Defa eats meat and drinks two glasses of wine from time to time, and the family's Chinese New Year's Eve is simple but happy. After the woman cleaned up and finished the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, she also sat on the kang.

"Come, old woman, let's have a drink tonight." Wang Defa said drunkly.

"How can I drink, you see how strange you are."

"It doesn't matter if you drink it or not, but there are some things I really want to say to you today."

"Say, isn't the New Year just lively, you can say whatever you want."

"Wife, it's good to be able to celebrate the New Year with the whole family, at this time in the past five years, I have always imagined in prison how you will spend the New Year at home, and I have even thought about whether you can hold on to it. Can this family wait until I come back? Wang Defa took a sip of wine and said.

"If you don't wait for you to come back, it's hard for me to run away, look at those three lively babies, who still let me run with them, don't drink, the more you drink, the more you can't speak." The woman scolded Wang Defa.

"In it, I imagined that I was among you, sitting on the kang and talking about the past year and the next year. The news I want to hear the most in a month is that the head of the family in prison said that Wang Defa someone came to see you, and every time I hear this, I am relieved, you are not leaving, you are still supporting this family. ”

"I've done a lot of things that I don't seem to have a conscience in the past, and I've been telling myself that I must be a Wang Defa who makes everyone feel that I've changed, and in the past half a year, I suddenly realized that what I do, in the eyes of others, I am a labor prisoner, alienation, contempt, and estrangement sometimes make me breathless."

Wang Defa picked up his wine cup and drank two cups in a row.

"Lao Wang, you drink less, this year, it's not easy for the whole family to live, don't drink too much for a while and forget about the doll's New Year's money." The woman saw that Wang Defa was obviously emotional, and persuaded her to drink less.

"It wasn't until the cellar made money that everyone looked at me differently, and I understood one thing, what kind of labor prisoner is not a labor prisoner, it is all other people's talk, only by putting money in your pocket, will you be convinced. Now I don't recognize people, I recognize money. But if I know someone, I used to be the accountant of the team, and I wouldn't have been so difficult in the past five or six years. You can rest assured, from now on, I, Wang Defa, will let this poor family only have money left! Wang Defa's mood rose up.

"Okay, okay, you don't drink anymore, send the New Year's money to the doll, don't pass twelve o'clock, I can't hold it down again this year." The woman interrupted Wang Defa.

Wang Defa was ready, he turned his head to look at his old mother, who had fallen asleep under the quilt, and pressed a brand new fifty yuan under the old mother's pillow. The three dolls had been staring at Wang Defa for a long time, and Wang Defa took out a brand-new twenty yuan from his trouser pocket, one for each person.

"Come, Jackie Chan, give you the New Year's money, I hope you can study hard in school! We must have the domineering spirit of always striving for the first. Wang Chenglong smiled and nodded and took his New Year's money, the child is still a child after all, and he is full of joy and anger.

"Come brother, give, your New Year's money, you don't slip in your grades this semester, you have to learn from your sister!"

When it was Guisheng's turn to press the New Year's money, Wang Defa didn't know what to say, the age difference between the three children was about one year old, and in September next year, Guisheng should also go to school.

"Come, Guisheng, your New Year's money, take the New Year's money, you have to speak more neatly than before!" In the end, Wang Defa organized such a sentence.

Wang Defa finally took out a piece of fifty yuan, gave it to his woman and said, "Come, press it on you!" ”

This Chinese New Year's Eve is a starting point for Wang Defa, a turning point for this family, and goodbye to the disaster of the past five years in prison.
