Chapter 2: Pull Hook
"Yuyu, where is my Yuyu?" When she returned home, she didn't see Yu Yu, Xu Yi turned around and ran out.
"Don't worry, the rest is here, I'll look for it." Oh, she's back. Long Hao was just about to go out, but saw Yu Yu running into the courtyard.
"Yu Yu, woo woo......" Xu Yi hugged Yu Yu and cried loudly.
"Xiaoyi, it's okay, there will be nothing more." Long Hao stretched out his arm, but only patted Xu Yi on the shoulder.
In the brain storage, even the original owner has never hugged, or even had sex together. The first time I met, I was even more embarrassed.
"If you owe that kind of person so much money, you say it's going to be fine?" Xu Yi raised her head and burst into tears.
"I said I would pay him back, and there will be no more trouble." Long Hao nodded firmly.
"Long Hao, how many times have you said this?"
"Xiaoyi, it was me who was bad before, and I made you and Yu Yu suffer. Never again, I will definitely let you live a good life. ”
There is no choice but to take the blame for the original owner. No matter what happens in the future, at least for now, she is still a nominal mother-in-law, and she can't be wronged again.
What was done in the last life, and it must be done in this life!
It's a little depressing, but being reborn is to be free and unrestrained, and to make a big difference. This confusion actually has an aunt doll, where to go? What's the show?
"Good day? Do you believe it yourself? Yu Yu is four years old and is growing his body, but he can't smell meat for months. You've been out there all day, pulling down your debts and letting you come to us, and that's your good day? ”
"Xiaoyi, I will definitely be able to pay it back, and all the money can be repaid."
In the eighties, gold was everywhere. Not to mention 800 yuan, even 880000 yuan is not a problem.
Of course, it will take a little time.
"Eight hundred in three days? You...... Forget it, don't say anything, it's all fate. After all, it's not a family, and you have no responsibility to feed us, let alone protect us. I thank you for everything before, thank you very much. Yu Yu, let's go! ”
Xu Yi brushed her hair, wiped a handful of tears, tried her best to calm down, and took the rest of her little hand.
Yu Yu looked up at his mother, and then at his father, but he didn't take a step. Obviously, she doesn't want to go, no matter what, it's still a father after all!
"Xiaoyi, the soul of Long Hao in the past is dead, and it will be a brand new Long Hao who will surprise you and make others look up to him. It's useless to talk too much, look at the action, from today, from now on. Stay, this is your home, and it will definitely be your warmest and happiest home. Long Hao looked at Xu Yi with a sincere expression.
In fact, if you really want to leave, you won't have much nostalgia, after all, you don't have any feelings. But it would be another shame not to let it go.
To keep them is to regain the dignity of a man!
Xu Yi turned around and looked Long Hao up and down. I've never heard such a thing before, and no one can say it, and then think about the situation just now, is this still the man who is called a wreck?
Of course, just a few beautiful words can't move the heart that is about to die, or has died. Xu Yi didn't speak, turned around and pulled Yu Yu away.
"Three days, please stay for another three days. Three days later, I returned Xiong Da's money and earned money for my family. At that time, if you still want to leave, I will not stop you. ”
"Mom!" Yu Yu grabbed Xu Yi.
Xu Yi stopped and closed her eyes. She would never believe this man again, it was just very strange, what really happened to this man?
"Yu Yu, Dad will let you eat meat every day." Long Hao gently stroked the rest of the pony's braids.
"Daddy pulls the hook." Yu Yu stretched out his little finger.
"Pull Hook!" Long Hao stretched out his little finger and hooked Yu Yu's finger.
"Pull the hook and hang it, and it will not change for a hundred years. Mom, Mom, the rest of the rest wants to eat meat. ”
Xu Yi let out a long sigh and let go of the remaining little hand.
"Brother Hao!" There was a call in the courtyard.
Long Hao turned his head to see that a lean young man walked into the courtyard. After a little thought, the guy's information came up.
The guy's name is Sun Zhiming, a few months younger than himself in this life, and he is a classmate in elementary school. When he was not farming, he ran a small business with his father, and he often carried three or five yuan in his pocket.
I also like to be with Sun Zhiming, in addition to a good relationship, the three and five pieces are also very important factors.
"Zhiming, come in." Long Hao walked to the door and let Sun Zhiming in.
"I just came back, and I heard my mother say that something happened to your family, so I hurried over. Hey, are you alright? Sun Zhiming looked at Long Hao and then at Xu Yi.
"It's okay, don't you look at it?" Long Hao smiled and opened the cabinet drawer next to him.
There were a few cigarette boxes of flock, economy, and other brands in the drawer, but they were all empty, and finally I found half a bag of dry tobacco in the corner and took it out.
"That's all there is to it, let's smoke it!" Long Hao was a little embarrassed.
"I like old dry tobacco, it's strong! This one is soft, and it can't burn. Sun Zhiming took out half a box of large front doors and put them on the cabinet, took the dry tobacco bag, and tore a one-inch-wide piece of paper from the small book on the cabinet, and sat on the edge of the kang rolling dry tobacco.
"You're smoking this now?" Long Hao looked at the front door and tore a piece of paper to roll a cigarette.
This kind of big front door three cents and six boxes can basically be drawn only if you earn a salary. Long Hao smoked a lot of cigarettes in his previous life, and dry tobacco was also a basic ration. There are Kashgar students in the same dormitory of the university, and they will bring some Mohe cigarettes over every year.
"How can it? I entertained a friend, and I gave me half a box left. Sun Zhiming skillfully rolled the dry tobacco, struck a match, lit it for Long Hao, who had also rolled it, and lit his dry tobacco when the match was about to burn out.
"Ahem......" There was a puff of smoke in the room, accompanied by a few coughs.
"You sit down first, and I'll go find the basket." Xu Yi pulled Yu Yu out.
"Okay, I'll talk to Zhiming." Long Hao looked at Xu Yi's slender figure and sat back on the edge of the kang.
"I know everything, what are I going to do?" Sun Zhiming took a puff of dry tobacco.
"What else can I do? Make money! ”
"Three days, more than 800 yuan, unless you steal."
"Do you have a way?"
"Brother Hao, you used to let you run and buy and sell together, but you were always troublesome, is there something wrong now? It's still the same thing, let's do it together! You can't make a lot of money, but you can save up slowly, and you can always save enough. ”
"I've already promised someone." Long Hao touched his head.
Not only promised Xiong Da, but more importantly, Xu Yi, can't be slow!
"You give it to Aunt Five...... I'll go, let the fifth aunt have a period of grace, it's a big deal to count the profits. Sun Zhiming didn't know Long Hao's thoughts, so he took care of everything.
"Zhiming, what are you doing in business?" Long Hao asked.
At the moment, the only way to think of is to run the road of buying and selling, so ask clearly.
"What else can you do? They are all selling cashmere, and I am too, selling cashmere. Sun Zhiming puffed out smoke rings.
"Cashmere?" Long Hao took a puff of cigarette and looked up at the top of the kiln, his brain running at high speed.
In my memory, when I first joined the work, oh, just this year, there was a "fluff war", which was extremely tragic!
Cashmere in the early eighties was particularly cheap, and raw cashmere was only a few dollars a pound. Most of the cashmere shirts made were exported to the evil capitalist countries of Britain, the United States and Japan, and worn on the rotten capitalists. Naturally, the price is also very cheap, it is said that it is only one-fifth to one-tenth of the British and Australian prices. Because cashmere is not the main focus of this book, I won't go into details.
In short, the demand for cashmere is increasing. In addition, in the transition period, the market economy is very imperfect, large and small cashmere sweater factories and textile cities have sprung up, and hundreds of them have sprung up at once.
Cashmere production, on the other hand, is relatively stable. As a result, various manufacturers began to compete for raw materials, and the price gradually rose from a few dollars a pound to dozens of yuan in the early days. Especially in '87, that is, last year, it rose from a few dozen yuan to more than 180 yuan. Later, it rose to more than 200 yuan, and at the highest time, it reached 5 or 600 yuan, and a price war broke out.
As a result, all people sold cashmere. Peasants, workers, cadres, teachers...... Anyone who has a little spare money goes to sell cashmere, even if they borrow money.
Cashmere is also the most talked-about, and it has been rewarded handsomely at first. Of course, this is mainly happening in the north, especially in cashmere-producing areas. There are also people selling cashmere in places where cashmere is not produced, but there are very few of them.
What happened later is hard to say. Lust for profit, there are people at all times. Under the huge profits, this treasure known as soft gold and fiber diamonds has been used to the extreme by various means of counterfeiting. There is a narrative behind this, so I won't be verbose here.
It is said that in winter, the machines of many wool factories are damaged by fake cashmere and cannot be produced. The homes of large and small cashmere dealers, including the warehouses of foreign trade enterprises, are full of heavy fluff and cannot be sold at all. So much so that the fluff of our country has become synonymous with counterfeit and shoddy, and when the cashmere came down the next year, no one cared about it for a pound and twenty yuan.
This is the "fluff war", mourning everywhere!
"Brother Hao, sell cashmere with me, the cashmere market has been very good recently, as long as you can collect cashmere, you can make money." Sun Zhiming looked up at Long Hao.
"Zhiming, let me ask you, where is the cashmere sold?" Long Hao took a sharp puff of dry smoke.
Now it's just a price war, cashmere can still be sold, and there is really no other way to make money at the moment.
"We are peddlers, and we can only sell to big dealers and make a few small bucks. They then sold to bigger dealers, and most of them ended up in the velvet factories in the provincial capitals. ”
"Why don't you sell it directly to the velvet factory?"
"My brother, how can we ordinary people sell it directly to others? What's more, we are raw velvet, and what people want is combed velvet, which is not up to standard. ”
"You've been to the Velvet Factory?"
"I haven't been, I've heard that's the case."
"Listen to the big dealers, right?"
"Brother, what do you mean?"
"Go to the velvet factory and take a look, ask, isn't everything clear?"
In his previous life, Long Hao visited the velvet factory and knew that he collected raw velvet, but he liked to collect large quantities and the quality was relatively good. In fact, all manufacturers are the same, they like bulk goods, and it's too troublesome to make a small fuss.
Over time, people thought that only bulk items were accepted, and even manufacturers thought so, and habit became natural.
"Actually, I have wanted to go to the velvet factory for a long time, but I don't know anyone, and I don't know where the door opens." Sun Zhiming raised his head.
"The first time is born, and the second time is ripe. Don't say so much, let's go! Long Hao stood up.
Only by making a decision can we seize the opportunity.
"Just go?" Sun Zhiming still couldn't react.
"Do you want to let those second-class dealers cheat a few more times?"
"Brother, why don't I know you a little?"
"You don't care if you recognize it or not, just say that it makes sense? If it makes sense, do it, and pull it down if it doesn't make sense. ”
"Let's go!"
"By the way, how much velvet do you have?"
"Thirty pounds."
"Take it all and go!"
Walking to the courtyard, Xu Yi pulled Yu Yu back, carrying a heavy basket.
"Xiaoyi, I'll go to the provincial capital with Zhiming. You stay at home with Yu Yu first, and I'll talk about what you have when you come back. Long Hao walked up to Xu Yi and touched Yu Yu Xiaoma.
"Going to the provincial capital? There are also a few catties of food stamps, and saving points is points. Xu Yi took out a few food stamps and handed them to Long Hao.
"The national food stamps, keep them for us, they are very precious." Long Hao took the food stamp, looked at it, stuffed it back into Xu Yi's hand, turned around and left.
A kind woman, who has just suffered so much humiliation, still wants to save money for men. No matter what the future holds, women must be allowed to live a good life.
