Chapter 5 Righteousness and Courage
Now that the policy has been relaxed, buying vegetables from the countryside and selling them in the market is also a way to make money.
"Big brother!" Wang Weidong stood up and shouted.
The rural elder brother stopped his bicycle on the wooden bridge more than ten meters long and looked back at Wang Weidong.
Wang Weidong ran up the wooden bridge and said to the rural brother: "Big brother, how much did you sell in the market this time?" ”
"A few handfuls of radishes, as well as beans and persimmons, a little coriander, I made three cents in two hours back and forth!" The rural brother was still a little proud when he said this.
"Big brother, I'm an educated youth, I just came back from the countryside, I don't even have a job, I'll wait for you here tomorrow, you sell the vegetables to me cheaper, how about I sell them in the market? It's not easy for you to earn two cents by growing vegetables, but I earn one dime by running errands! Wang Weidong said as he handed another cigarette.
The eldest brother in the countryside looked at Wang Weidong's face and asked, "Brother, I took it out to sell some money because I couldn't eat the food at home, how can you do this at such a young age?" ”
After more than 20 years of education, almost all people feel that doing small business is not a serious business.
"Besides, a dime is only enough to buy two steamed buns, plus food stamps, and it's not enough for you to live." The big brother in the countryside said.
"In a few months, my parents will send me to join the army, and I can't just eat my parents' food at home in these months, and earn a little bit. When you go back to work and rest, talk to other people, and sell them to me together, and you can also make a little money. Wang Weidong said.
Hearing Wang Weidong's words, the rural eldest brother looked embarrassed and embarrassed, is he still a person who earns money from relatives and friends?
"You're not making their money but helping them, everyone has money to buy soy sauce and vinegar, gifts, and snacks for children, isn't it?" Wang Weidong persuaded.
To do this is to help others and to serve the people. When you make money with a moral hat, you feel much more comfortable.
"Since that's the case, I'll go back and tell them, it's not easy for you, I'll help you with this! You'll be here tomorrow morning at five o'clock waiting for me! The rural brother said very righteously.
Seeing the rural eldest brother riding a bicycle away, Wang Weidong also immediately rushed to the county market. More than 100 vegetable sellers set up stalls along the street to form a simple farmer's market, and he pushed his bicycle from stall to stall to ask about the price of various vegetables.
When he was about to reach the three-way intersection, a black shadow fell on his head, Wang Weidong subconsciously shrank his head, and several round things smashed on his head and instantly flowed out of slimy liquid. The shadow slammed into the saddle of the bicycle and tumbled to the ground, revealing a basket with a few yellowing eggs rolling out of the basket.
Wang Weidong touched a handful of hair, and an egg shell fell to the ground with his slimy fingers.
Just when he was still confused and didn't know what was happening, an old lady in her sixties sat on the ground and patted her thigh and cried.
"I've been missing eight lifetimes of virtue, and I've broken all my eggs!" The old lady said as she cried.
"Old immortal, can't you see, the whole market sells eggs here!" A young man yelled, still angry just by scolding, he raised his foot and made a gesture to kick the old lady, but he didn't kick it out after all.
The best location of the market is the three-way intersection, and now there are two earthen baskets in that place, which contain two or three hundred eggs, and the rest of the whole market can no longer see anyone selling eggs, it seems that the egg business in the county farmers' market is completely controlled by this young man.
"It's good to talk about letting you sell me eggs for four cents, you just don't want to, now you can't make a penny, and you have to lose!" The young man said fiercely.
Everyone in the farmer's market stared blankly, and no one dared to stand up.
"What are you looking at!" The young man glared at Wang Weidong and yelled.
He couldn't hit the old lady with his hands, so he was ready to put the fire on Wang Weidong.
"Did you throw the eggs just now?" Wang Weidong asked, pointing to his sticky hair.
"I threw it, what do you want?" The young man stared at Wang Weidong and asked.
This is a naked provocation, in front of everyone, a man will come and beat me, if it is a bad seed, get out of here!
No young man with strong blood will not flinch under such provocation, and he can lose face if he loses anything.
With the old lady's cry, Wang Weidong let go of the bicycle and let it fall directly to the ground, then clenched his fists and rushed towards the young man.
He punched the young man in the chest, and this was a sign of cowardice - he didn't dare to make a dead hand, so why not just hit him in the face?
The young man ignored Wang Weidong's fist and kicked Wang Weidong in the stomach.
Wang Weidong fell to the ground on his back, and this kick made him grow instantly.
He lay on the ground and kicked the young man's leg, and the young man screamed in pain and pounced on Wang Weidong. Both of them lay on the ground and tore each other apart.
Sometimes Wang Weidong turned over on it, and sometimes the young man rode on Wang Weidong.
After a while, both of them had their clothes torn and their noses were bleeding.
No one came out to fight, they all watched, and the two of them were exhausted and couldn't move in the end.
"Bastard, you're waiting!" The young man gasped.
Wang Weidong, who had a blue nose and swollen face, stared at the young man with a blue nose and swollen face like a dog that couldn't bark.
"You kid wait!" The young man struggled to get up and said through gritted teeth.
Wang Weidong also got up, picked up his bicycle and walked out of the market.
Wang Weidong went to the county supply and marketing cooperative, bought a scale, and bought a pig-killing knife before riding back to the Xiangyang Chemical Factory.
He bought a few steamed buns at a state-run restaurant and returned home.
Grandma Huang Guiying said while eating steamed buns: "I eat restaurants every day, and I don't know how much money I think you make." ”
"You wait for me to make a lot of money and let you eat well every day." Wang Weidong said.
At night, under the light, Wang Weidong sewed the torn place of his clothes. Grandma's eyes can't see, so she can't see Wang Weidong's blue nose and swollen face and tattered clothes.
At five o'clock the next day, Wang Weidong got up to buy fried dough sticks and soy milk, arranged for his grandmother to eat, and he took two fried dough sticks while riding a bicycle to the wooden bridge five miles away.
By the time he arrived at the bridge, the big farmer was already waiting there.
"That's it, no need to weigh it, everyone quoted the price when they handed over the dishes to me, a total of three yuan and four cents." The big brother in the countryside said.
"It's four dollars, don't look for it." Wang Weidong handed over the money and said.
What he gambled on was the honesty of the big brother in the countryside.
"That's embarrassing, six cents is too much." The rural brother said embarrassedly.
"That's it in the future, I'll pay you 20%." Wang Weidong replied.
He took out the sack he brought, put the vegetables into the sack according to the type, put it on the back seat of the bicycle, tied it with a rope, and rode towards the county seat.
"Brother, let's change to a basket next time." The big brother in the countryside shouted from behind.
