49. Businessman
can escape the first day of junior high school, can't hide from the fifteenth, looking at Chen Yan's listless appearance every day, Xiao Zhengping knows that He Yongfu can't hide there.
Although the two of them each have a thousand dollars in their hands, they are veritable "rich people" in the team, but where is there a dog who still thinks about after tasting meat!
Xiao Zhengping thinks about it almost every day, and to this day, he still hasn't come up with a way to get the best of both worlds, no matter what he does, he will inevitably offend He Yongfu.
On this day, pulling hundreds of catties of mushrooms, Xiao Zhengping came to He Yongfu's house again, this time he did not enter the door directly, but first went to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy two bottles of wine and two cigarettes.
Buying cigarettes for He Yongfu is not a new thing, but buying wine is the first time, He Yongfu saw Xiao Zhengping, and thought that he was here to propose, but when he saw that there was only one person, he immediately understood that Xiao Zhengping had something to do this time.
"Pingzi, what are you doing here?" He Yongfu opened the courtyard door for Xiao Zhengping, stared at the wine and cigarettes in his hand and asked.
"Uncle, let's go into the house and talk for a while, and then we'll go through the scales after we finish speaking."
He Qiaoyun didn't go to work today, nor was he at home, there were only two people in the house, the old man and his wife.
"It's really unfortunate that you came, Qiaoyun went to his uncle's house in the county seat to play." He Yongfu saw Xiao Zhengping looking around the house vigorously, and thought he was looking for He Qiaoyun.
In fact, Xiao Zhengping was really looking for He Qiaoyun, he didn't want He Qiaoyun to hear about today's incident, because according to Xiao Zhengping's expectations, if He Qiaoyun heard it, he would have to bury himself in two sentences.
Hearing that He Qiaoyun went out, Xiao Zhengping was relieved.
"Oh, it's fine. Uncle, I came here today because I have something to tell you. ”
"What's the matter?" He Yongfu dragged a chair over to Xiao Zhengping and motioned for him to sit down.
"Well, I'm too embarrassed to talk about this. That's the case, last year, we picked too many mushrooms in the mountains, and this year they didn't grow much, you see I gave a hundred catties on a trip, and the amount is too little. ”
Who is He Yongfu? Although he is also a farmer, he has lived in the township for decades, and the people he comes into contact with are things that ordinary farmers can't imagine, so as soon as he hears Xiao Zhengping's words, he probably knows what's going on.
"I said Pingzi, you harvest bamboo shoots at the beginning and end of the year, and there are still a few months to harvest mushrooms in the middle of the year, how can you get two or three thousand a year, what's the matter, this is not enough?"
"Uncle, there's enough money to make! The point is that if you don't do it, others will do it, and if others do it, they will snatch the opportunity, and you won't be able to drink the soup at that time. ”
"Okay, tell me what you're going to do."
"Hehe, Uncle Yongfu, I think so, we don't have it on the mountain, I'll go to someone else's mountain to collect it. Let's see if we can do this, let's work together, you go out of the yard, I will be responsible for receiving the goods, and then we will still rent according to a pound and a penny. ”
He Yongfu immediately shouted after hearing this: "You kid wants to cut off my beard!" ”
"Uncle, don't get excited, this method doesn't work, then let's change it. I don't care about our township, I'll go to other townships to collect it, let's follow the original method of bamboo shoots, but I can't just deliver the mushrooms by your hands, and deliver them directly, you see if it's okay. ”
He Yongfu sighed, "Pingzi, we have been dealing with each other for so long, I know very well who you are." This idea probably came up with Boss Xia, right? ”
Xiao Zhengping wanted to defend, but He Yongfu didn't give him a chance, he pressed his hand and signaled Xiao Zhengping not to speak, "You don't have to explain, I know it's Boss Xia, he has always thought that I can't get more goods, and I can't make back the oil money after a trip." In fact, when Boss Xia finds you, you can leave me alone without consulting me, but you, Xiao Zhengping, are a kind and righteous person, and you don't want to leave me alone. ”
Seeing that Xiao Zhengping didn't speak, He Yongfu knew that he had guessed correctly, "Wow, Pingzi, I didn't misread you!" Actually, I have a way to do it, and if you want, none of what you just said is a problem. ”
Xiao Zhengping asked himself that the two methods were already a compromise and a compromise, and they were the best way he could think of, and he really couldn't think of any better way for He Yongfu.
"What's the method?"
"Pingzi, the first time we met, I saw that you kid is not simple, your parents are dead, you carry the family alone, and you also provide your sister with education, you have responsibility and ambition, and you are a man. It's not just me, Qiaoyun likes you too. What about my family's Qiaoyun, pampered some, I haven't seen anything in the world, but this girl is not bad-eyed, and she looks okay, you said that if you two can get married, then mine is not yours, do we still need to break those things? Pingzi, don't say anything else, if you can succeed with Qiaoyun, just sell mountain goods, you don't have to do it with Xia Changyong at all, with your ability, our family will definitely be able to do more than Xia Changyong. ”
In fact, Xiao Zhengping understood what He Yongfu meant when he heard half of it, and instead of being flattered, he felt a little bored.
"Uncle, this thing~~"
As soon as Xiao Zhengping's words came out, He Yongfu interrupted him again, "I know, Qiaoyun's temperament is a little stubborn, but it's man-made, the girl is thin-skinned, you coax harder, I and Qiaoyun will and do the work again, won't this matter be done!" ”
Pity the hearts of parents in the world, Xiao Zhengping can feel He Yongfu's sincerity, and he has always treated himself really well, if He Qiaoyun's attitude can be slightly better when he brought Xiuye to buy clothes that day, Xiao Zhengping feels that he can consider this matter.
But it backfired, He Qiaoyun's contempt and snobbery that day had been deeply imprinted in Xiao Zhengping's mind, even if He Qiaoyun was full of advantages, he would never accept someone who was so vicious at first impression.
However, it is impossible for Xiao Zhengping to refuse He Yongfu for this reason, which is equivalent to directly slapping He Yongfu's face.
After thinking about it for a while, Xiao Zhengping decided to use a killer move, "Uncle, I may have to live up to your good intentions, in fact, I asked me last time my second uncle went back here, but I didn't agree." Because I already have someone in the picture, her name is Dai Xuemei, and she is also from our team, and we grew up together, and I promised her that I would marry her. ”
He Yongfu was stunned for a long time when he heard this, and finally he looked embarrassed, lowered his head and smiled: "Hey, this is a pity, you said that our grandfather and son have a lot of appetite!" Okay, you've said so, even if I'm wishful thinking. ”
"Uncle Yongfu, Qiaoyun is beautiful and has an iron rice bowl, are you still worried about finding a good son-in-law? Don't worry, how many people are rushing to be your son-in-law! ”
He Yongfu was noncommittal, and after a moment of silence, he slapped his hands on his thighs, "Okay, since we can't become a family, let's talk about business." Pingzi, what about me, I have been a farmer all my life, I have worked hard all my life, and now I want to live a small life in peace, if you want to do big things, I can not stop you, but don't think about leaving me. Let me tell you the truth, the reason why Xia Changyong was able to come to us to collect mountain goods was because I recognized him, and if I didn't recognize him, he wouldn't even want to come in our county. ”
He Yongfu's words immediately made Xiao Zhengping think of the connection between him and Xia Changyong, Xiao Zhengping remembered that He Yongfu once said that he and Xia Changyong each had a relative in the supply and marketing cooperative, so Xia Changyong probably used the name of the county supply and marketing cooperative to collect the mountain goods after opening up the relationship, so He Yongfu's last sentence was at least eighty percent true. Thinking of this, Xiao Zhengping hurriedly asked, "What do you want to do?" ”
"You collect your mountain goods, and I will give you the yard, but the rent has to be changed to five cents per catty, and we have to make a deed."
Xiao Zheng said in his heart that you really dare to speak, it was five times more at once, and he was about to open his mouth to bargain, He Yongfu said again: "Pingzi, don't think it's too expensive, you think, I gave you all the business, besides, I have to keep it for you, no matter what, I have to pay a little hard money." ”
Xiao Zhengping thought about this sentence, and suddenly felt that there was some truth, and He Yongfu had already pinched Xia Changyong's line, and he had no room for bargaining.
"Okay, five cents is five cents, but two catties have to be calculated according to the number of shipments, and you have to help load and load the goods."
"Hey, yes, a bit of a businessman. Okay, just do as you say, let's ship the goods and settle the money once. ”
