"Lao Su is here, sit in the house quickly."

Chen Dahai got up to greet him, and Zhao Xiuzhi also hurriedly greeted Lao Su and his daughter-in-law, although the two families had unhappiness before, but a good reputation and a bag of yellow eels can be regarded as resolving the embarrassment.

Chen Yu didn't have a good impression of the Su family, and walked out of the room to sit outside and smoke a cigarette.

"Jingshan, Zhao Erniang and his man went to the county seat today to inquire about your sale of yellow eels, and she didn't say any price, but just publicized in the village that she also collected yellow eels, one pound and two cents, what's going on?"

"In this way, the people in the village should say that we are discussing and trapping them."

Before his ass could sit firmly, Su Zhengfeng spoke anxiously.

Hearing this, Zhao Xiuzhi and Chen Dahai's faces sank first.

Zhao Xiuzhi complained: "This Sun Erniang, a few years ago, wanted to rob the business of Widow Sun's commissary, and now she has come to rob the yellow eel business in Jingshan, which is really unreasonable!" ”

Chen Jingshan took out a cigarette and handed it to him, and he also understood the purpose of his coming, that is, he was afraid that the people in the village would think that he and the Su family would join forces to trap them, so they came to report the news.

However, if the price goes up two cents, the profit is not very big, and the price rises again and again, and the people in the village are not fools, and it is possible to rise as much as possible in the end.

Business is not what she does.

Chen Jingshan knew it in his heart, and said with a smile: "Uncle Su, don't worry, since this Zhao Erniang wants to make money, I will give her a chance to earn it, when I received the yellow eel, I also paid the money with one hand and delivered it with the other, and they were willing, and no one is to blame." ”

"Alas, that's what I said, but the people in the village are still a little uncomfortable, this Zhao Erniang is really not a thing."

Su Zhengfeng scolded in a low voice.

The first time the two families chatted so kindly, perhaps because they had a common enemy, Zhao Xiuzhi and Lao Su's daughter-in-law Cuilan also rarely started a family routine.

…………

Early the next morning, Chen Jingshan got up early and asked his eldest brother to ride a motorcycle to take himself and Chen Lingyan to the town and take a bus to the county seat.

This time, he not only has to sign up for Lingyan, but also plans to go to the fog market to see what the clothing wholesale market in the fog market is, and if he can, he will buy a batch of goods and come back to open a clothing store.

Now there are only a handful of clothing stores in the town of Three Rivers, and the existing ones are basically tailors, and the clothes they sell have remained unchanged for decades, and if they can get new clothes back and sell them, they will definitely make another profit.

When the time comes, whether it is setting up a stall or renting a storefront, you can make money.

Chen Lingyan fell asleep on Chen Jingshan's shoulder when she got into the car, this little girl was so sick that she could only force herself to sleep in order not to vomit......

After several tosses, when I arrived at Pengcheng No. 1 Middle School, it was already ten o'clock in the morning.

As soon as I entered the campus, there was the sound of reading aloud everywhere.

Looking at his sister's timid appearance, Chen Jingshan's heart suddenly felt a tingle, such a little girl, still at the age of learning knowledge, but dropped out of school.

There were no suitcases at home, only a sack with bedding and a change of clothes.

Chen Lingyan carried a schoolbag, and Chen Jingshan carried the sack all the way to the director's office on the second floor of the office building.

"You wait for me here, I'll go in and ask."

Chen Jingshan put the bag in the hallway and knocked on the door of the director's office.

"Please come in."

A middle-aged man's voice rang out inside.

The office is self-contained, and next to the desk sits a middle-aged balding man, reading information on the computer.

After entering the door, Chen Jingshan first glanced at the ashtray next to him before he spoke: "I don't know who dropped the two packs of cigarettes outside, did you drop them?" ”

Chen Jingshan took out two packs of ten-yuan cigarettes that he had already bought, and he stood in a very clever position, not blocking the door, so that he could see Lingyan and the hemp bag carrying a schoolbag outside the door.

The man glanced at Chen Jingshan, then at the door, and knew the origin of this person, so he said seriously: "Put it on the table, are you here to transfer the class?" ”

"That's right, my sister dropped out of school before finishing her first year of high school, and I want to register her and let her continue to go to school."

Cheng Jingshan said without humility or arrogance, although he was dressed very ordinarily, but he spoke generously, and the man was embarrassed to be perfunctory, got up and rummaged through the dropout files, and asked, "What's her name?" ”

"Chen Lingyan."

His fat fingers kept turning the pages on the file, and after a while he spoke: "The tuition fee is now sixty-three yuan a semester, and the living expenses are about eight yuan a week." ”

The reason why the man said this is because on the file, the remark behind Chen Lingyan's name is: family difficulties and can't pay tuition.

"It's okay, the tuition has already been prepared, director, who do you think I should go to sign up?" Chen Jingshan was still smiling, squinting at the marks on the file, but he didn't feel good in his heart, and secretly vowed to let his sister finish college, or even graduate or doctorate, as long as she wanted, she would provide for herself!

"Teacher Wang next door happens to be the homeroom teacher in charge of this year's freshmen, you go to her, just report my name."

The man pointed to the work card on the table, on which his name was written: Wang Haiquan.

"Then thank you Director Wang."

After going out, Chen Jingshan came to the next door, inside was a little girl in her twenties, wearing a white shirt and black trousers, with white skin and delicate facial features, it seemed that she had just graduated from college, and she looked a little similar to Wang Haiquan.

Chen Jingshan directly reported Director Wang's name and quickly completed the registration process.

"Are you a parent of a student?"

"Okay, do you want to arrange the dormitory first or go to class first?"

"Let's arrange a dormitory first."

"Okay, come with me."

After saying that, she got up and walked out, leading the brother and sister in the direction of the dormitory building.

Chen Jingshan didn't understand whether the teachers were so enthusiastic or it was for Wang Haiquan's face, but none of this mattered, he understood in his heart that it was his two packs of cigarettes that played a role.

After arranging the dormitory, she took her brother and sister to the classroom, and she would talk to Chen Lingyan along the way to ease the atmosphere.

However, Chen Lingyan lowered her head and didn't like to talk much.

"She can go to the class in advance now, and when the class is over in a while, I'll take her to get the book,"

After looking at the classroom, the female teacher also greeted the teacher who was in class, signaling Chen Lingyan to go in, but she stood at the edge of the corridor and did not move.

"Lingyan, listen to me, go to school now, you can eat wherever you go in the future, but if you don't go to school and have no education, you will suffer for the rest of your life, and a slightly better job won't be your turn, don't you want to build a new house for our family?"

Cheng Jingshan patted his sister's shoulder and turned his understanding into words as much as possible.

"Brother, can I go home every week? I miss you. ”

"Yes! I'll give you twenty yuan, eat better, don't lose the three yuan for the ticket, you can also remember the phone number of Widow Sun and the village chief's house, if there is anything, just call the teacher. ”

Chen Jingshan took out twenty yuan and stuffed it to Chen Lingyan, but she only took ten yuan, wiped away her tears and walked towards the classroom.

"My name is Wang Yanran, and I will be Lingyan's homeroom teacher in the future, if there is anything, I will ask her to call home."

Teacher Wang said with a smile, and at the same time, she was a little surprised that the young man in front of her could say this.

She had also heard the approximate meaning of those words just now, and she had heard it in the mouth of her cousin, who was the director of school education, but she didn't expect this young man to be able to say such a profound truth.

"Then trouble Mr. Wang." Chen Jingshan smiled and waved his hand, and turned to leave.

Wang Yanran looked at his back when he left, with an interested look in her eyes.

"What a strange person, obviously still a milky little guy, but it makes people feel very comfortable with him."

…………

Walking out of the gate of Pengcheng No. 1 Middle School, Chen Jingshan glanced at the No. 2 Middle School not far from the next door, and there was a touch of nostalgia in his eyes, it was his alma mater, but he didn't go to college......

You can take the bus to the train station on the roadside at the school gate, and there is a train at three o'clock in the afternoon when Chen Jingshan arrives, buy a ticket and wait.

This year, it is still a green train, and the environment on the car is very touching, and there is a smell of feet and instant noodles mixed with melon seed skin everywhere.

There were many students in the carriage, basically the same age as Chen Jingshan, who were still in school but had already begun to earn a living.

If you weren't born again, it would be a sad story.

"Are you a student? Why don't you bring any luggage? A soft voice sounded beside Chen Jingshan.

"I don't go to school anymore, I work part-time."

Even if he didn't look back, Chen Jingshan knew that the owner of this voice was a beautiful woman wearing black overalls, with a bumpy figure, and a face painted with light makeup and skin like condensation, and she was only twenty-five or sixteen.

Because when she got into the car just now, she still helped her put her luggage.

"Is it the first time you've been out of the house?"

“…… Sort of. ”

There were only Chen Jingshan and the woman talking to him in this row, so the two chatted with each other, and Chen Jingshan learned that her name was Wang Qian and she worked in a pork food processing factory in Wushi.

Halfway through, she also said that she could help Chen Jingshan find a job, but Chen Jingshan refused.

In this era, the monthly salary is about 1,000 yuan, and the high salary is two or three thousand, and the part-time job will never be his predicament.

Seeing that Chen Jingshan didn't talk much, Wang Qian stopped talking, leaned on the backrest and closed her eyes and began to rest.

There was silence all the way, and it was already seven o'clock in the evening when they arrived at Wushi North Station, and Chen Jingshan and Wang Qian walked out of the platform together.

After a short goodbye, she took a taxi and left.

Chen Jingshan chose to spend four yuan in a hotel near the train station for one night, it was late, the clothing wholesale market was closed, and now he went to find Zhou Yunna, it is estimated that she has not had much time to start school.

Early the next morning, Chen Jingshan took a taxi and rushed towards Jiangkou, the wholesale market in Wushi, which has always been a wholesale mecca because of its proximity to the wharf, abundant and cheap goods, and the people who go there are basically businessmen.

When he got out of the car, Chen Jingshan was dumbfounded, densely packed with people, carrying, carrying, and carrying...... Some were pulled by small trucks, some were towed by board trucks, and all of them carried the goods out.

"Late?"

Chen Jingshan's eyes widened, he didn't want to stay in a cheap hotel for another night, so he could only go inside, praying in his heart that these good big brothers could leave some goods for themselves.
