After reading it, he put the two pieces of letter paper away properly, and the two chatted and parted ways.

Looking at the time, it was not yet afternoon, Zhang Xuebing rushed directly to the small commodity wholesale market in the city, planning to buy himself an electronic watch.

It's really inconvenient to have no watch, and mechanical watches are too expensive to afford, so I have to make do with this plastic goods first.

After buying the watch, Zhang Xuebing was attracted by the dazzling array of small commodities, and planned to bring some gifts back to his sister-in-law and Xin'er.

The small commodity wholesale market in the county seat, to be honest, is pitiful compared to the small ones in the big cities, and a rain-proof shed is erected on the open space of the street, and the merchants are setting up stalls under the shed.

To be honest, it's a bit like a flea market in a big city, where in addition to ordinary goods, there are many things that are not available to individuals at home.

Although the sparrows are small, don't look at the small market, but there are really a lot of things, except for those who don't buy food, there are almost everything else.

Zhang Xuebing also saw that in the old bicycle team, there was a 'black eagle' produced by the provincial motorcycle factory, but unfortunately this motorcycle was produced in the 80s, and it was old, otherwise he really wanted to buy it.

After all, riding a bicycle for dozens of kilometers every day is very physically exhausting and a waste of time, and now for Zhang Xuebing, time is money, and it is worth it to save time and pay any price.

It's not a weekend, and there aren't many customers, and the stalls are lined up one by one, and the variety of goods is dazzling, especially those who sell thrift goods, from children's pacifiers to old women's footwraps.

Zhang Xuebing looked at it and found a lot of good things, some of the old goods are old, and they can barely be called antiques, especially the things of the Republic of China.

If more than ten years later, Zhang Xuebing will definitely not believe that these are genuine goods, but in this era, this kind of market should be all old goods that he does not use, and there are more genuine goods and fewer fake goods.

After turning around for most of the circle, he bought an old wooden wall clock for his sister-in-law, and the sign should be Hengdeli in the late Qing Dynasty, and it walked decently after winding.

On the hour, there is a cuckoo out of the cuckoo, the cuckoo cuckoo calls the time, it is very fun, there is no clock at home, presumably my sister-in-law will like it.

As a gift for the little girl, Zhang Xuebing picked out a jewelry box with a mirror.

The same wood material is finely made, the color is black and bright, and the wood still exudes a faint fragrance, which should be either red sandalwood or agarwood.

These two things only cost ten yuan, and they may not be able to buy it for thousands of dollars after more than ten years.

Zhang Xuebing was overjoyed, this market can really find treasures, and it seems that he will come to visit often in the future.

Although he can't see many things accurately, with the experience of his previous life, he also knows that there is a lot of room for appreciation.

Walking around the market for a long time, there are really a lot of good things to look at, but unfortunately now the funds have to be used on the blade, and when you have plenty of money in the future, you can buy more and collect it.

Just when he wanted to leave the thrift area and prepare to buy an electronic watch, something fell into his eyes and made his eyes light up, this is much stronger than an electronic watch!

Zhang Xuebing fell in love with an old watch at a thrift stall.

The watch was lying in the middle of a pile of clutter, looking a little clumsy and heavy, with an old silver-white casing that exuded a faint metallic sheen.

Brownish-yellow leather strap with a lot of dirt deposited.

The surface is a little scratched, and the gray can barely see the dial inside.

What really attracts Zhang Xuebing is that there is a crown logo on the dial that resembles a crown composed of five match heads - Rolex!

When he was rich in his previous life, Zhang Xuebing was also obsessed with famous watches, especially Rolex's lethality to every man is irresistible.

He also collected a few pieces, but he has never seen this one, and it is estimated that this should be a relatively early style in the last century.

"Boss, how do you sell this telescope?" Zhang Xuebing was good at observing words and feelings, and immediately squatted next to the stall, picked up an old-fashioned monocular, and asked.

These old goods sellers all like to rise the tide, and when you ask the price, it will definitely not be cheap, but more expensive, so he is in a hurry.

The stall owner was a man in his fifties, dressed in brand-new labor cloth overalls, with a white face and a pair of shrewd eyes.

"This is an antique from the Qing Dynasty, you have a fancy for it, take eighty yuan!" The boss pretended to be distressed and said, but there was a look of joy in his eyes.

Eighty yuan is nearly half a month's salary of ordinary people, and this price is black enough.

Zhang Xuebing couldn't get used to him, gently put down the binoculars, and turned around to leave without saying a word!

The boss stood up and shouted, "Hey, little brother, if you really like it, give you ten yuan cheaper, and take it away at seventy!" ”

Zhang Xuebing slowed down, but didn't look back, and said lazily, "Hmph, seventy, this thing, at most thirty yuan!" ”

In order to reach a deal, he had to grit his teeth and reduce the price, "Thirty lenses are not enough, this is used by the Qing Dynasty Navy, at least fifty yuan!" ”

This time, Zhang Xuebing stopped, turned his head to look at the boss, and showed a trace of embarrassment on his face, "Fifty, I can't bear it, I bought this thing, I can't buy an electronic watch, I'll sell thirty, do you like to sell it or not!" ”

The boss rolled his eyes, touched the Rolex on the stall, shook it and said, "How can an electronic watch be as good as a mechanical watch, you give fifty yuan, and the telescope and this watch are all yours!" ”

didn't expect the boss to be so up-to-date, Zhang Xuebing endured the joy in his heart, walked slowly to the stall, praised and criticized, and then paid.

This time I made a lot of money, a telescope of unknown origin, plus a piece of Rolex, is worth at least tens of thousands of dollars in more than ten years, or even higher.

However, this watch is too worn, and must be cleaned up before he can continue to wear it, after leaving the market, he found a watch repair file, and watched the watch repairer clean it inside and out without blinking, and then he was relieved to wear it on his hand.

In the summer, the mountain village is much cooler than the urban area, and just after noon, the villagers walked out of their homes, carrying sickles and sacks in their hands, and headed out of the village.

They didn't go to work in the fields, they went to dig wild vegetables.

Since Zhang Xuebing began to buy wild vegetables, most of the villagers have a wait-and-see attitude, and after the hemp pole dog is left with their family to get the money, the villagers can no longer sit still, and have gone up the mountain to dig up wild vegetables.

There is no way, living in a mountain village, relying on the production of the field to feed barely enough, there is no other income at all, you can have the opportunity to earn more even if it is three or five yuan, you can also fill the family, you must know that many villagers owe the village chief food is not enough!

That's why these villagers are so flocking to it.

Those villagers who didn't dig wild vegetables, carrying baskets or wrappers, lined up at the door of the hemp pole house, waiting for the three aunts of the mat pole to test the eggs one by one, and then give them a white slip after counting, and wait for Zhang Xuebing to come back and settle the bill for them.

The whole village is busy, only the entrance of a large courtyard with blue bricks and tiles at the entrance of the village is very deserted.

This is the home of the village chief Zhang Yongzhong, usually people come and go, of course, these people are not chatting, but to borrow food.

However, in the past two days, the front of his house began to be sparsely populated, and those who had come to borrow grain in the past tightened their belts and went into the mountains to dig wild vegetables.

Zhang Erdou and his two younger brothers, standing at the gate, looked at the busy villagers, and felt extremely unhappy.

"Brother Erdou, I have inquired, they didn't give cash for the things they collected, they were all white slips!" An idler ran out of a hidden corner and whispered to Zhang Erdou.

Zhang Erdou slammed the cigarette butt in his hand to the ground, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, this kid is under Lao Tzu's nose, and he has no business, this time Lao Tzu will let him peel off his skin without dying!" ”

"You guys do what I want!" After saying that, he waved his hand, shook his head and walked back to his yard.

Those fox friends and dog friends seemed to be mixed with a hundred meters of sand, blending into the villagers.

"What, you said that Zhang Xuebing, this kid doesn't plan to give money?"

An honest middle-aged villager, carrying a bulging sack on his back, looked at the person in front of him in surprise.

Zhang Erdou's little brother, Zhang Erhei's face was full of righteousness, and he said righteously, "This kid is inhumane, he wants to hug him and leave, you see that you will give you a white slip, who has seen the cash?" He's trying to trick our folks! ”

The villagers' faces were full of suspicion, "Then his sister-in-law and sister-in-law are at home, and the monk ran away and ran to the temple?" ”

Zhang Erhei showed an expression that I knew everything, "You see that he is not in the village, this is planning to let those two girls top the tank, and after selling this goods, I will never return to this poor mountain village......"

Good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, and these rumors were spread by a few of Zhang Erdou's fox friends and dogs, and soon spread like a plague throughout the village.

Anger is brewing among the villagers, and the clear sky seems to be covered with dark clouds, and a storm is about to destroy this ancient mountain village.

In the kitchen of the Zhang family, Su Wan'er was busy with dinner.

Yesterday there was a lot of flour left, and there was a lot of cooked meat, and Su Wan'er planned to make a pot of broth gnocchi.

Su Xin'er finished reviewing her homework and squatted on the ground to choose vegetables.

Zhang Xuebing didn't go home last night, and the sisters were worried, Su Wan'er pulled the bellows and asked softly.

"The little soldier didn't come back overnight, are you getting those fish and turtles again?"

Su Xin'er didn't dare to tell the truth, she didn't even dare to raise her head, for fear that her sister would see the clue.

"What's the matter, he used the money from the last fish sale as a book, collected wild vegetables and eggs from the village, sold them to the market, and made a little difference!"

Hearing this, Su Wan'er breathed a sigh of relief, and was just about to say a few words, when she suddenly heard a commotion outside the courtyard.

"Daughter-in-law of the Zhang family, you come out for me!"

"Zhang's family, get out!"

Su Wan'er rubbed the coal ash on her hand and hurriedly ran into the courtyard, the scene outside scared her heart thumping, and she almost fell ill.

I saw that the courtyard was full of people, led by several aunts in the village, these people are famous mouths in ten miles and eight towns, the dead can say that they are alive, and no one usually dares to provoke them.

The people standing behind were all villagers from their own village, and these people were full of righteous indignation, their faces were full of anger, and they might tear down the houses if they saw that the slightest mistake in the posture was wrong.

Without waiting for Su Wan'er to speak, a thin aunt who looked like a straw stubble grinned and scolded, "Zhang's family, where is the dead child of Xiaobing, let him get out!" ”

Su Wan'er sighed in her heart, the more she was afraid of something, the more she was afraid of something, it was really the little soldier who caused trouble.

She just wanted to ask about the situation, and a middle-aged greasy aunt roared, "Lack of virtue and anti-folks, there is no py to give birth to a child, oh I forgot, your husband can't give birth if you die!" ”

Aunt Qin Straw patted the fat man on the shoulder and sneered, "Who said that people can't be born, isn't there still Zhang Xuebing, her sisters, serving a man, give birth as much as you want!" ”

In a conservative mountain village, saying that people are not innocent is the most vicious insult.

Su Wan'er's fair cheeks instantly turned into a red cloth, "You have something to say, don't spew blood, our family is all in vain, there have never been those dirty things!" ”

The fat aunt raised her hand and threw it, like snowflakes, and countless white papers fell in front of Su Wan'er.

"Look at it, this is Zhang Xuebing's white strip for the big guy, give the money today, even if your family sleeps on a kang for three people, it has nothing to do with us!"

Ignoring these foul words, Su Wan'er bent down and picked up a few notes to take a closer look.

Only then did she figure out that these were all white strips that Zhang Xuebing collected wild vegetables and mountain eggs for others.

The quantity and price are clearly stated on it, and the single sheet is not much, only three or two yuan, but there are too many white strips, and almost all the villagers in the distance have white strips in their hands.

A white strip is three or two yuan, hundreds of pieces have hundreds of dollars, and you can't make so much money without eating or drinking all year round!

Su Wan'er only felt that it was dark in front of her, her feet seemed to be stepping on cotton, and her head was planted on the ground.

A pair of white and slender little hands held her up, "Sister, sister, you sit down first, I'll get you medicine!" ”

"Yo, what's not going on yet, just pretend to be sick, don't you want to take medicine, come with two bottles of dichlorvos!"

"Shut your stinky mouth, isn't it just a few hundred dollars, give!" Su Xin'er grabbed the hundred-yuan bill that Zhang Xuebing gave her, and smashed it in a ball on the greasy aunt's face.

The man was stunned for a moment, hurriedly picked up the banknotes on the ground, and took a closer look, how could she have ever seen such a big ticket, and she was immediately stunned!

Aunt Qin next to her looked at the banknote and her eyes lit up, and she reached out and grabbed the other end of the banknote, "Hey, this is a lot, I don't have any change for you, otherwise, the rest is a deposit!" ”

I never thought that this time it seemed to have stabbed a hornet's nest, and everyone who had not opened their mouths shouted one after another.

"This can't be done, you gave them, what about our money, no one can be less today!"

"Yes, if you give it to them, you have to give it to us, hurry up and get the money, or send you to the village department and let the village chief evaluate it!"
