38. Cattle
Back at home, Xiao Zhengping spread more than 1,000 yuan on the table, and the two of them stared at the pile of money for a long time, their eyes shining.
Although this money is not much every day, compared to last year's sale of mushrooms, it can be called a cold one, but this is a real thousand yuan, the whole team has one count, how many people have seen so much money?!
After looking at it for a while, Xiao Zhengping divided the money into three parts, two for six hundred, and one for one hundred and seventy-five.
"Mrs. Yan, do you want to divide the money, or keep the cubs? If it is divided, you and I will be six hundred each, Zhang Gouzi has been busy for a few days, and he can't let him do it in vain. Saying that, Xiao Zhengping divided three hundred out of the two copies of six hundred yuan, and then made up one of six hundred, "If you keep the cubs, we will each pay three hundred, and we will continue to work hard with this money!" ”
Chen Yan has made a lot of money with Xiao Zhengping these days, from selling mushrooms to selling tobacco leaves, plus the wages earned from road repair, it has been two or three hundred. During this time, he didn't have time to play cards, and he ate and drank at home, so he had plenty of money.
After listening to Xiao Zhengping's words, Chen Yan didn't think about it, took out two hundred from his share of three hundred yuan, and then pushed it into Xiao Zhengping's three hundred yuan.
"Pingzi, it's no problem for one person to pay three hundred, but I can't take so much. You see, we use your bicycle in and out, from the team to the township, and we have to calculate the depreciation cost! And the last time I sold cigarettes, you can't just lose yourself, it stands to reason that Zhang Gouzi and I have to make up a little bit. Forget about Zhang Gouzi, I'll give him his money, so these two hundred have to be yours. ”
Chen Yan's actions are nothing new to Xiao Zhengping, in addition to being short-tempered and always fond of purging dirty mouths, this kid is full of advantages, and righteousness is one of them.
However, Xiao Zhengping didn't plan to take it all, he smiled, and pushed out another hundred from the two hundred pushed by Chen Yan, "Okay, what you said makes sense, but I can't take so much, you don't make a lot of money selling cigarettes, and you can't use so much for car depreciation, so I'll take an extra hundred." ”
Who knew that Xiao Zhengping hadn't been able to push the money into Chen Yan's pile, Chen Yan immediately stretched out his hand to block Xiao Zhengping, "Oh, you are looking for ways to make money, you have worked hard and brainily, you should have taken more." Besides, if it weren't for you, I would only be able to earn so much money in the Year of the Monkey, even if I gave you the benefits? ”
"Then you won't need so much~~"
Xiao Zhengping still wanted to excuse himself, but Chen Yan was impatient, he snatched the hundred yuan and fell directly on Xiao Zhengping's share of the money, "Your mother's money is endless, you push a few dollars back and forth, you and I grind!" Damn, if you want it, don't give it all to me! ”
As soon as this sentence came out, Xiao Zhengping knew that he had to take this money - Chen Yan belonged to the person who didn't recognize his six relatives when he started the fire, not only Zhang Gouzi scared him, but Xiao Zhengping was also a little stunned.
"Okay, good, I'll take it! I'll take it! You're a fucking white-eyed wolf, and you're still angry when you give you money. ”
When Chen Yan saw Xiao Zhengping take the money back, he immediately put his 100 yuan in his pocket, and then asked with a smiling face: "Then let's start collecting bamboo shoots tomorrow?" How do you collect it? ”
The reason why Chen Yan asked this was because Xiao Zhengping had agreed with Boss Xia at He Yongfu's house that there would be a final wave of fresh bamboo shoots, and he would strive to hand over two tons of fresh bamboo shoots before the season.
"Well, the harvest must be harvested, but the bamboo shoots are not as good as the mushrooms, and now every household is busy preparing the land, and they are not willing to dig if they are not too heavy, so we can't sit at home and collect them like mushrooms."
"So what are you going to do?"
Xiao Zhengping rolled his eyes, then leaned closer, and whispered to Chen Yan: "Hey, Mrs. Yan, isn't there still livestock at the team site?" Let's buy that mule! ”
The livestock mentioned by Xiao Zhengping were left over from the team headquarters when the commune was abolished. Originally, the animals were supposed to be divided among the groups, but because of the type and number of animals, it was not possible to divide them evenly. Later, a leader in the township gave Zou Shu an idea, saying that he would simply sell it at a discount, and whoever made more money would sell it to whomever he wanted, and then the money from the sale would be evenly distributed among the groups.
The idea is a good idea, like some chickens and ducks, someone will buy them soon, and a rich person like Hu Shanchuan will also buy some pigs and sheep, but it really doesn't work, and there is also a group of people who buy a pig and then kill the meat. However, no one buys animals like mules and oxen for work, because they have no money to buy them, and they have to wait for them when they are bought, and there is not a lot of land allocated to individuals, so there is no need for livestock to work.
In this way, the two cows and a mule at the team site were kept in the barn of the team site, and because they were not served properly, they were almost skinny and skinny.
"That mule costs a lot of money, what do we use to collect bamboo shoots when you buy a mule? Also, who will serve you when you buy it? I'm not going to serve anyway. Chen Yan said.
"Don't worry about money, I'll go to the branch secretary and say, take credit first. The mule is also put there, and it is better for me to buy it than to stay there and die. As for after I buy it back, I want my second uncle to serve him, he used to be in charge of livestock, and then you will be responsible for taking my second uncle to collect mountain goods. ”
Chen Yan thought for a while, then nodded, "Okay, it depends on whether you have the ability to bring the mule back on credit." As soon as he finished speaking, he remembered something and asked, "We're going to collect bamboo shoots, what are you doing?" ”
Xiao Zhengping smiled: "I can't think about what to do in the future!" There are also a lot of mountain goods that will be recovered in the future, how can you bake them with just one stove at home. ”
......
After the agreement, the next day, Xiao Zhengping got on his bicycle and went to the secretary's house.
Zou Shusheng's feelings about Xiao Zhengping are very complicated now, on the one hand, Xiao Zhengping's recent "tossing" has made him see a trace of vitality in the lifeless brigade, regardless of the big guy's evaluation of Xiao Zhengping, this stinky boy still brings people a different perspective, so that people can see a different life from the past, the big guys are watching, and Zou Shusheng is also watching.
On the other hand, Zou Shusheng was afraid that Xiao Zhengping would toss too much, after all, Xiao Zhengping was the son of the old branch secretary, he didn't want to watch Xiao Zhengping being arrested at the police station again, and he didn't want to affect himself, or even the entire brigade.
So when Zou Shusheng heard the sound of the bicycle bell outside the courtyard, he inexplicably felt upset - he knew that Xiao Zhengping had nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace!
"I said Pingzi, you stepped on a car to show off the whole team, why did you show off to my house?"
"Uncle," Xiao Zhengping patted the handlebar, "Isn't it dazzling?" ”
"Eye-catching! The eyes of the whole brigade are almost blinded by your! ”
"Hehe, uncle, if I don't teach you to ride, now that the road is repaired, go to the township and step on this thing, which is a matter of a gust of wind."
"Forget it, I'm still more reliable to summon my two legs, I can't summon this thing. Okay, what is there to say in the house? ”
Xiao Zhengping set up the car when he heard this, and then followed Zou Shusheng into the yard.
As soon as he sat down, Xiao Zhengping quipped: "Branch secretary, did you do a good job of building roads, right?" It's your achievement! You said that if you do a few more big things, you shouldn't be transferred to the township! ”
"Yo, borrow your auspicious words, thank God I can do the branch secretary to the end, and go to the township~~" As he was speaking, Zou Shusheng suddenly sensed that something was wrong, so he glanced at Xiao Zhengping. Sure enough, at this moment, Xiao Zhengping was looking at himself with a smile on his face, like he dug a pit and waited for him to jump down, "No, what else do you want me to do?" ”
Xiao Zhengping slapped his thigh, "It's still the branch secretary who is smart, I just want to add another political achievement to you today!" ”
