Li Tong stood in the warehouse and looked at the neatly stacked cabbage, a little worried.

I don't worry about planting it, I worry about planting it, it's annoying.

How to deliver 5,000 catties of Chinese cabbage to Xu's house has been bothering Li Tong for several days, and it is a bit unreliable to run to Xu's house in the middle of the night to make a big Chinese cabbage, and it is not more whimsical to run to the river and pull it with a human-powered flatbed.

After returning home from school in the evening, they had dinner, and they swept the yard with Jiang Tianliang, Li Tong simply packed his schoolbag and went out to Jiaodaokou South Street Station, and took a bus to North Yanhe Street.

After getting out of the car, Li Tong walked around the grass path on the side of the road on Beiyanhe Street for a long time, found a dimly lit open space not far from the road, gritted his teeth, and immediately entered the virtual farm to carry the bundles of Chinese cabbage that had been prepared long ago to the Baishi high platform.

As Li Tong returned to reality again, there was a one-person-high pile of cabbage on his side, and he quickly opened the military green rainproof canvas he had found in the trust store to cover the cabbage, and then inserted the wooden sign under his feet on the grass.

The wooden plaque is written in red paint with eight large characters written very prominently.

Military supplies, stealing is strictly prohibited!

In this era, ordinary people avoided everything that was linked to the army, and few people dared to steal military supplies.

Li Tong is going to pull the tiger skin to make a banner today, and use the name of the army to scare passers-by who accidentally found this pile of Chinese cabbage if there is an urgency.

To put it bluntly, it's a gamble.

After doing all this, Li Tong quickly turned back to the bus stop, waited anxiously for the bus, anxiously took the bus to Xu's house, anxiously knocked on the door of Xu's house, looked at Xu Huizhen with an anxious face and said anxiously.

"Aunt Xu, there are too many people at the front door to unload the goods, Grandma Lu has unloaded the Chinese cabbage on Beiyanhe Street, you have to send someone over to pull the Chinese cabbage back."

"It's simple, it's nothing, you go and drive the car, let's go now!" Xu Huizhen heard Li Tong say that the Chinese cabbage had been unloaded, and the drumstick that beat the drum in his heart finally fell, and immediately commanded Cai Quanwu next to him to go to the street to pick up the tractor.

Suddenly, suddenly, suddenly.

Cai Quanwu drove a red-headed and green-clad hand-cranked tractor carrying Xu Huizhen and Li Tong on Qianmen Street all the way north and farther and farther.

The rest of the things were as Li Tong expected, the three of them first found a place to park the Chinese cabbage, and then Cai Quanwu moved one hundred and seventy bundles of Chinese cabbage with rainproof canvas and wooden signs to the tractor, and the three of them returned to Xu's house in a sudden manner.

Cai Quanwu unloaded the cabbage in the courtyard, and Xu Huizhen led Li Tong to drink tea in the hall, mainly waiting for the results of Cai Quanwu's weighing to settle the payment.

Xu Huizhen's smile has not stopped since she returned home, and it is obvious that she is very satisfied with the quality of the Chinese cabbage this time.

About two quarters of an hour later, a muddy Cai Quan walked into the house without saying a word and took away towels, basins and soap corners, and then the sound of running water came from outside the house. After washing his hands and washing his face, Cai Quanwu returned to the house with the basin, put it back in its place, walked to the table of the Eight Immortals and sat down, took out a piece of yellow straw paper from his clothes pocket, and read in a deep voice.

"There are a total of 170 bundles of mussel cabbage, with a total weight of 5058 pounds, and the quality is first-class, which is higher than the first-class standard on the market.

"Well, I also think the color of this batch of Chinese cabbage is very good. Three boys, can the cabbage sent later maintain this quality? Xu Hui asked happily.

"Aunt Xu, Grandma Lu only told me that the Chinese cabbage you want has been scheduled, and the remaining fifteen,000 can be shipped at any time, listen to your arrangement." Li Tong did not give a positive answer to whether Xu Huizhen could maintain the same quality.

Xu Huizhen hesitated slightly, and then said to Li Tong firmly: "Three boys, contact Grandma Xia Lu as soon as you go back, and the rest of the cabbage will be shipped over, the sooner the better!" ”

"Okay."

"The deposit will be calculated together at the end, this time I will still give the full amount, a total of 141 yuan and 7 cents, you have collected it."

"Hmm."

On the way home for Cai Quanwu in the evening, Li Tong was surprised to find that Cai's father, who was silent in his impression, took the initiative to talk to him.

Cai Quanwu didn't look back, held the handlebar and rode steadily, and asked in a low voice: "Three boys, can you tell your uncle why you want to tie the string for your Aunt Xu and Grandma Lu?" ”

"Uncle, have you watched "Little Soldier Zhang Ga"?" Li Tong asked rhetorically.

The car shook a little, obviously Cai Quanwu was stunned, but he quickly recovered, and replied in a very positive tone: "Uncle has been too busy with work recently to watch it, but I heard Jingli tell the general content of this movie, saying that it is the story of a little hero defeating a little devil, am I right?" ”

"Uncle is right, Zhang Ga is a little hero, and the teacher said that we should all take Zhang Ga as a role model for learning." Li Tong said crisply.

"Three boys, you are a good boy." Cai Quanwu paused, controlled the bicycle and turned into Beiyanhe Street, and continued: "I heard Xu Jingli say that your recent grades have improved by leaps and bounds, and you have been admitted to the top ten in the whole grade. ”

"Haha, no, in fact, Xu Jingli has given me a lot of help in my studies." Li Tong smiled a little embarrassed.

Cai Quanwu suddenly parked the car on the side of the road, looked at Li Tong and said very sincerely: "Three boys, my uncle wants to tell you if, if you are a broker because you have financial difficulties, I and your Aunt Xu can and are willing to help you until you go to college." What my uncle wants to say is that you are still too young now, you should put all your energy into studying, and getting in touch with the business between adults too early is harmful to your future development. ”

"Why? Grandma Lu, Aunt Xu, and Uncle Cai, the three of you are very good to me, right? Li Tong tilted his head and wondered.

"Businessmen are too much concerned about the trade-offs of pros and cons, and calculating will only make your mind smaller and smaller, and the way you look at people and things will go the wrong way." Cai Quanwu touched Li Tong's head and said seriously.

Li Tong lowered his head and pondered, he could naturally feel the care from Cai Quanwu, to be honest, he was really grateful but couldn't accept it, because there were too many variables for a long time in the future, and Li Tong really couldn't go to school and watch all this happen with peace of mind.

Li Tong said loudly after thinking about it again and again: "Although I don't understand how Uncle Cai's heart and eyes have become smaller because of calculations, I am very grateful to you and Aunt Xu for your concern for me. But I want to be like Zhang Ga, not the wit and bravery that the teacher said, but Zhang Ga's courage and strength to survive after his grandmother was captured by the little devil. ”

Cai Quanwu couldn't see the perseverance and decisiveness in the eyes of the handsome little boy sitting on the back seat of the bicycle, the corners of his mouth moved slightly, and he smiled, rubbed Li Tong's head, turned over and got on the car and continued to ride north.

The two of them didn't say anything all the way.

Outside the yard, after Cai Quanwu parked the bicycle, he reached out and picked Li Tong off the back seat of the car and put it on the ground, and Li Tong politely thanked Cai Quanwu as usual.

"Thank you, Uncle Cai, then I'll go home."

Cai Quanwu raised his hand to grab Li Tong, who was about to run back to the courtyard, and said solemnly: "Three boys, Uncle Cai will give you a word before leaving, you must remember it firmly." ”

Li Tong snorted and nodded again and again.

"Poor and strong, don't fall into the ambition of the clouds."

Seeing the confused little expression on Li Tong's face, Cai Quanwu continued: "I can't explain the meaning of this sentence to you now, but you just need to keep it in mind, and one day you will understand the meaning it expresses." Let's go home, it's too late today. ”

In the end, Cai Quanwu patted Li Tong's shoulder three times and then stepped on the pedal and rode away on the bicycle, Li Tong rubbed his sore shoulder, and was a little strange Cai Quanwu What's wrong with Cai Quanwu today, didn't he always touch his head to kill when he walked before, why did he change people today?

And before leaving, he inexplicably left himself a passage in the preface of King Teng's Pavilion.

Li Tong shook his head and selectively forgot what had just happened, he was so tired today, he just wanted to hurry back home and climb into bed to sleep.
