Liu Dongmei watched Tiemin push the cart to the vegetable market, and in less than an hour, the cart came back, and the pots and pans were empty.

She was quite excited, rushed up at once, dragged the small leather bag that Tie Min was carrying crossbody, put her hand into it, and then pulled it out again, puzzled: "Brother, where is the money." ”

"What's the money?" Tiemin asked stupidly.

"Money from the sale." Liu Dongmei found that Tiemin's expression was wrong, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Tie Min sighed and pushed the car into the yard. He parked the cart, moved all the pots, pans, scales and other things into the house, then took off his white apron, lay down on the kang, and closed his eyes.

Liu Dongmei looked at Tiemin blankly from the side, and an ominous premonition came to her heart.

The first time Tiemin went out to sell goods, he didn't make any money, at least he didn't even earn back the capital.

Liu Dongmei had the heart to ask a few words, but she was afraid of angering Tiemin, so she was still panicked without asking, she was depressed for a few moments, turned around and went to the upper house, and said to her son, who was having lunch, "You do my sister-in-law a favor." ”

Shengzi glanced at Liu Dongmei and did not speak. The implication is that you can help, and you have to be paid.

"Your gora has a cart of cooked food to sell, and you'll be back in a moment." Liu Dongmei's eyes lit up immediately when she saw that her son heard the word cooked food. She added, "The things are gone, and the money is gone." You go and ask what's wrong. ”

"No need to ask, it must have been confiscated by the Industrial and Commercial Bureau." Zhou Zhiqiang interjected: "Now to do business, you must apply for an industrial and commercial license, if you don't have that thing, let the industrial and commercial bureau arrest it, how can it be good." ”

"Now it's strict." Aunt Zhou said: "The people from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, come to our acquisition station twice in three days, check this and that, and say a lot." ”

"I heard Tie Min say that he will test it for a few days first, and when the business is good, he will go to apply for a license." Liu Dongmei saw her son sitting there with her head bored, not knowing what she was thinking. Dissatisfied: "You should go." ”

"How can you thank me if I help you get things back." Before Shengzi's words fell, the chopsticks in Zhou Zhiqiang's hand flew out and hit Shengzi's head. "Rabbit cub, talk to your own family about conditions."

Shengzi angrily threw down his chopsticks, jumped under the kang and said: "I beg people to do things, and I can't just talk about it, I can't buy boxes of cigarettes for others, and say a few good words." ”

Zhou Zhiqiang originally planned to jump off the kang and kick his son a few times. After listening to Shengzi's words, he looked Shengzi up and down and said, "Where did you learn this?" ”

The son ignored his father, turned around and went out.

"Dongmei, help Mom pick up the table, I'm tired, sleep for a while." Aunt Zhou pushed the small kang table to the side, lay on the kang and closed her eyes.

Liu Dongmei and Tie Min have separated from each other, and Aunt Zhou has to get up early every morning to cook. When I came back at noon, I had to rush to eat with the family, and my tired foot hit the back of my head.

Since she asked Liu Dongmei for the 100 yuan of money, and Liu Dongmei refused in disguise, the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has become delicate.

Aunt Zhou instigated Zhou Zhiqiang several times that she must get the 100 yuan money back, otherwise, in the future, she will not speak hard in front of Shengzi and Yanzi.

Zhou Zhiqiang said disapprerovingly: "Isn't it just a hundred yuan, if you come, you won't be able to make a fortune, and if you don't want to, you won't be poor and can't eat, forget it." ”

Zhou Zhiqiang can't say that he has a sense of guilt in his eldest son, and what he unconsciously reveals is an inexplicable panic.

That's right, Zhou Zhiqiang is now a little afraid of Tiemin, afraid of his indifferent gaze, afraid that one day he will no longer pay attention to his father.

To put it bluntly, it is still a traditional concept, and in Zhou Zhiqiang's mind, the eldest son of the head of the family is the support of his parents.

After Liu Dongmei got married, she found out that she was pregnant, and she had an excuse to be lazy.

The mother-in-law opened her mouth to beg, and she had no reason to refuse. She picked up the dishes and chopsticks to the kitchen, and even washed and washed the dishes, so busy that she forgot what she had said to her son.

gave birth to a son who was hit on the head by his father, not to mention how awkward it was.

Don't look at this Xiuzhen's stick, the tuba is called chopsticks, and when it hits the head of the child, it is like playing a brain melon, but the pain in his heart is huge.

When they were young, their parents favored the eldest brother and younger sister, but they regarded him as a superfluous thing. If you think about it, you will scold a few words, and if you don't make a good fuss, you will beat him a few times, he is really fed up.

Since smashing Xie Guizhi's delicatessen stall, Shengzi's small fame has gradually risen. There are some small festivals between classmates, and they have to ask him to come forward to help settle them.

relied on the ghost wit of giving birth to a son, and brought the unprofitable early to the extreme.

Whoever wants to beg him to do something, at least buy him a box of mass-produced cigarettes, not to mention other fires, sausages, bananas, apples, and pears.

Shengzi walked out of the house, kicked the wall angrily, and kicked until he felt that his toes hurt like a heart, and then he stopped.

He limped down to the house, and when he entered the house, he asked Tiemin, "Who confiscated your goods?" ”

"Whatever you do, do whatever you have to do." Tiemin turned over, not taking the birth of a child in his eyes at all.

"We have people in the industrial and commercial offices." Instead of being angry, Shengzi said arrogantly: "If you give me ten dollars, I will help you and get your things back." ”

"I'll give you fifty, what if you don't come back." Tiemin looked at his son and said, "Let's go to school quickly." ”

"You give me the money first, and I'll ask you for something." Shengzi came to Tie Min and said very seriously: "The son of the director of the small town industrial and commercial director is my classmate. I covered him at school, and no one dared to bully him. I begged him to do this. ”

Tiemin sat up and startled Shengzi.

Shengzi thought that Tiemin was going to beat him, and he was about to run away, but Tiemin grabbed him and said, "Let his father help me get a business license." ”

"License...... Okay, you give me fifty dollars first. "Shengzi thought he could earn the fifty yuan.

"My goods have been snatched away, who are you looking for for me to go?" Tie Min told Shengzi that his goods were robbed by others, and he went to the police station to report the case because he did not have an industrial and commercial license and was operating illegally.

The police station agreed to accept his case, but the premise was that it must be approved by the industrial and commercial administration office before the case was opened for investigation.

When Tiemin heard this, he ran home through the urethra.

He only lost less than 100 yuan of goods, and if he alarmed the industrial and commercial office, he might be fined a few hundred yuan.

He was thinking about applying for a business license, and when he gave birth to a child, he felt unambiguous and took the initiative to help.

After bargaining, Tie Min reached an agreement with Shengzi at a price of ten yuan, and Shengzi came forward to find his classmate to help Tie Min apply for a business license.

In the early eighties, there was a lot of trouble in applying for an industrial and commercial business license.

Fortunately, the classmates who gave birth to children were very powerful and successfully helped Tiemin apply for a business license.

During this time, Tiemin processed cooked food every day, and took Liu Dongmei to the market with him, one to sell goods and the other to watch the stalls.

The goods were no longer looted, but the business was extremely bleak.

Those who took advantage of it, seeing that Tiemin no longer gave away, walked to the deli stall and sniffed his nose, satisfied his taste buds and left.

Tie Min was very puzzled, why Xie Guizhi's business was so good at the beginning.

He forgot one sentence: everything is difficult at the beginning.

Xie Guizhi's business was also bleak at first, and no one cared about it. She learned business experience from her brother Xie Ronghao, selling at a normal price, and giving away alternative products for marketing and publicity.

For example, if you buy me half a pound of pig's head meat, and I give you two slices of sausage, saying that it is for you to taste the taste, in fact, you are cultivating a potential sausage buyer.

After coming and going, people accepted the taste of the Xie family's cooked food, and they also chose to take care of her family's business.

Tiemin only knew that Xie Guizhi had made a gift, he was a toddler, was robbed of a truckload of goods, and also attracted the police, which also caused people's disgust.

The main reason is that his smoking sauce technology still needs to be improved, and he can't capture the taste buds of consumers for the time being.

Xie Guizhi makes cooked food, and if it can't be sold on the same day, you can put it in the refrigerator and continue to sell it after heating it with old soup the next day.

Tiemin didn't have a refrigerator, so he could only put the cooked food in the old soup and boil it, wait until the next day to reheat it, and take it out for sale.

Just from the appearance, it does not attract customers, so you can only take it home and eat it yourself.

Liu Dongmei is pregnant, and she can't eat much, but she is used to having problems with the Zhou family. There must be cooked food at every meal, otherwise the meal will be hard to swallow.

Tiemin's cooked food business, from the day it opened, gradually piled up at a rate of losing 100 yuan a day to the point that Liu Dongmei couldn't bear it, and she finally broke out to Tiemin.

"If you don't do this business, we have an income of 10,000 yuan. You did business, and we lost more than 3,000 a month. Liu Dongmei crossed her fingers to settle accounts for Tie Min and said, "You are not trying to lose money, are you?" ”

Tie Min refused to admit defeat, and he attributed the bad business to the extent that the old soup was not boiled.

He comforted Liu Dongmei and said: "Don't worry, within two months, I will ensure your business and come up at once." ”

"You're cheating on me." Liu Dongmei finally figured out that Tie Min was determined to lose the 10,000 yuan.

She was angry and didn't dare to fight with Tiemin, so she went to the upper house to complain to Zhou Zhiqiang, hoping that Zhou Zhiqiang could come forward to stop Tiemin and stop being a loser.

"He's not in business at all." When Zhou Zhiqiang heard this, Tie Min lost more than 3,000 yuan a month, and his heart, liver, stomach and lungs were in pain.

Fortunately, this is money borrowed from his father-in-law, and it can be repaid a day earlier or a day later, but it still has to be repaid after all.

Tie Min has been working for a few years, and he has earned a lot of money, and if he wants him to pay off his father-in-law's money, he can't do it for ten or eight years.

What is this going to do?

Zhou Zhiqiang sighed and pondered for a night, and finally made up his mind that he had to have a good talk with Tiemin.

The next day, Zhou Zhiqiang was off duty, he got on his bicycle and went out for a spin, and when he came back, he went directly to the lower house.

Liu Dongmei no longer gives Tiemin money to load the goods.

Tie Min saw that a pot of old soup was placed there, and there was no content in it, he was in a hurry, but he couldn't think of a way.

Daddy is here. He walked into the courtyard, sniffed his nose as he walked, and said, "Don't say it, it smells so good." ”

When Tie Min saw his father, his already unhappy face was covered with a layer of frost.

"Where's Dongmei?" Zhou Zhiqiang took the initiative to greet Tiemin.

"I don't know." Iron Min didn't lie.

Liu Dongmei was afraid that Tiemin would ask her for money to load the goods, so she hid out early in the morning. Tie Min looked around a few times, but he didn't see Liu Dongmei's figure.

"You come in, I have something to say." Zhou Zhiqiang walked into Tiemin's house.

Tiemin was in the courtyard, hesitated for five minutes, and finally walked into the house.

He knows what his father is going to say, it's nothing more than that we don't have the life to do business, so we can't have this dream of making a fortune, so it's better to accept it when it is good and go back to work.

Not to mention, Zhou Zhiqiang saw Tie Min walk into the house, and as he imagined, it showed that the ancestors of the Zhou family had not been a trader for generations, and they did not have the ability to get rich with foreign wealth, and he also borrowed an old saying: Ci does not lead troops, and good does not manage money.

"Son, while the loss is not too much, stop it as soon as possible." Zhou Zhiqiang said what was in his heart in a consultative tone.

When Tie Min heard this, his heart was warm, and he was almost nodding.

"You don't cherish your life as an official, you have to be some kind of bullshit self-employed, what do you mean?" Zhou Zhiqiang has always been repulsive towards self-employed people.

This does not rule out that he has prejudices against Xie Guizhi, and after learning that Wang Li is Xie Guizhi's daughter, he opened his mouth and said: There are no good people in self-employed people.

He was a father, and when he said this to his eldest son, the starting point was good and the attitude was sincere, but the psychological trauma left on Tiemin was so heavy.

Tiemin became angry when he heard this, and when he saw his father take out an envelope from his pocket, he was dissatisfied: "What are you going to do?" ”

"Don't let your family know about this." After Zhou Zhiqiang finished speaking, he went out.

Tiemin accumulated the resentment in his heart, because his father didn't listen to his statement at all, thinking that this was his father's reaction to doing something wrong, and he was even more annoyed.

He slammed the envelope on the kang and said, "If you don't say anything in person, what's the matter with writing a letter." ”

The envelope slammed into the kang, and a stack of banknotes popped out of it.

Tiemin was very surprised, he took out the money in the envelope and counted it, a total of eight hundred and fifty yuan.

Where did Dad get such a large sum of money!

When Tiemin was puzzled by the money he left for his father, there was a sound of the door opening.

Shengzi ran in with his schoolbag on his back and said, "Brother, I'm ...... Where did the money come from. ”

"Daddy gave it." Tie Min Muran replied.
