Zhao Huaili, who was in his 40s and tall and burly, walked up to Liu Chen smoking a cigarette.

"Hey, Liu Chen, why are you here?"

"Pull potatoes."

"Hahaha......"

Zhao Huaili laughed, "Boy, you haven't woken up yet, have you?" Can you come and pull potatoes? Look at your little body, how much do you pull in a car? Pull one or pull two? ”

"Hahaha......"

Everyone around them laughed.

Liu Chen didn't say anything.

"I said Liu Chen, let's go, you didn't do this job, besides, didn't you go to Sanhai's house to open a treasure last night? Won a lot of money, right? ”

"I didn't go, and I won't go again."

"Oh." Zhao Huaili didn't take it seriously, his expression sank, and said: "Whether you like to go or not, I don't bother to care about you, but at the moment, this job is for our father, so don't join in the fun." ”

Liu Chen said: "Brother Huaili, they are all here to pull the cart to make money, you pull yours, I pull mine, I don't have a gun with you." ”

"What the are you talking about, boy?" Zhao Huaili's eyes widened angrily and shouted at Liu Chen.

Liu Chen stood up, more than one meter eight taller than Zhao Huaili, and glared at Zhao Huaili with burning eyes, "Zhao Huaili, can you scold again?" ”

Seeing that a fight was about to start, someone over there hurriedly came over and pulled Zhao Huaili away.

At this time, the drivers came out of the field one after another, negotiated the price with the farmers one by one, and inserted the license plate number on the ground.

"Brothers, let's get started."

The driver said hello, and the person pulling the cart rushed out like crazy.

I want to grab as much land as possible, so the distance is short, and it is not only labor-saving to come and go, but also to pull a few more trips.

Liu Chen didn't understand this, and he didn't want to make trouble for the first time, so he followed at the end, but it was obvious that when it was his turn, it was almost 2 miles away from the road.

Liu Chen adjusted the cart, walked to the field and began to carry the potatoes that had been packed into boxes.

A box of potatoes is fifty or sixty pounds.

Liu Chen bent down and picked it up, turned around and walked towards the cart.

There was a burst of pain from the wound on his arm, but he gritted his teeth and endured it, moving box after box to the car.

Loaded a car, Liu Chen hung the car loop on his shoulder, grasped the handlebar with both hands, leaned forward, and pulled up his legs and walked forward.

At this time, a few people near the side of the road had already begun to load the second car.

However, Liu Chen didn't complain, he gritted his teeth and walked forward step by step.

As Zhao Huaili said, Liu Chen had never done this kind of work, although he thought in his heart before that he would persevere even if he was tired, but when he really did it, he knew how heavy this work was.

The ideas in my head are very realistic, and they are not on the same level at all.

Pulling the potatoes to the side of the corresponding train, Liu Chen was so tired that he gasped for breath.

He gritted his teeth and unloaded the boxes of potatoes on the car one by one, and carefully stacked them next to the car so that the driver could load them later.

The shirtless driver with a beard on his face walked over, casually threw Liu Chen a cigarette, and said, "Brother, can you do it with your small body?" ”

"Master, you can do it."

"Hmm." The driver patted him on the shoulder and said, "Then try to hurry up, the piece of land I chose is farther away, you are more tired." ”

Liu Chen nodded vigorously, pulled the empty cart and ran towards his head quickly.

He can't run with potatoes, so it's easy to pull the empty car over, so run up, and you can save one more minute is a minute.

When he got to the ground, he adjusted the cart and ran into the field, picked up a box of potatoes and turned around and ran to the cart.

He was running the whole time.

He knew it wasn't as good as the people on the side of the road, but it was the only way he could do it.

The morning passed.

He pulled eight carts.

When the eighth car was unloaded, the driver handed him 8 yuan and a bottle of mineral water.

"Good job, young man, let's go on in the afternoon."

"Okay, thank you, brother."

Liu Chen pulled the cart to the side, still alone, took out the cold steamed buns brought from home and nibbled on the mineral water.

After eating, the rest of the people lay down on the board cart to rest.

But Liu Chen stood up, pulled the cart and ran towards the ground again.

Tired?

Tired!

Do you want to lie down?

Of course!

But reality told him he couldn't stop.

The rice noodles I picked up at the third grandfather's house yesterday were only enough to eat today.

If you don't make more money today, your wife and daughter will have nothing to eat tomorrow.

His land is the farthest from the main road, and if he wants to earn more money, he can't rest.

For the sake of his wife, for the sake of his daughter, as long as he can still run, he can't stop!

The wound on his arm was numb at this time, and he couldn't feel the pain, and the gauze that the third grandfather bandaged yesterday was oozing blood again, Liu Chen didn't care about it at all, gritted his teeth and insisted.

One-car, two-car, three-car......

Those who lie down and rest are also incomprehensible.

Could it be that this kid has really gotten better?

Does the legendary Prodigal Son really exist?

Everyone chatted word by word, and they didn't know why Liu Chen became like this.

Even the driver of the big car was satisfied with Liu Chen's desperate spirit.

At the end of the life, Liu Chen pulled another 15 carts.

Including the 8 cars in the morning, a total of 23 cars.

The driver gave him 25 yuan.

The extra two yuan, Liu Chen said that he didn't want anything.

It wasn't until the driver finally said that he had no change and asked Liu Chen to pull two more cars for him tomorrow, and Liu Chen gave up.

Pulling the empty cart and dragging his lead-filled legs home.

Looking at the dim light in the room, Liu Chen smiled, and the fatigue of the day was swept away.

He put the cart away, washed his hands and walked into the hall.

Looking at Liu Chen's tired appearance, Han Donghua chuckled in her heart, she felt that the Liu Chen in front of her was indeed different from the past.

After not seeing him for a day, Han Donghua thought that he must have gone to drink and gamble, but he didn't expect that Liu Chen would be completely different from the appearance of drinking and gambling in the past.

But Han Donghua didn't want to ask.

She picked up Meng Meng and was about to go into the bedroom.

"Donghua."

Liu Chen stopped him, his voice a little hoarse.

"Give."

He took out 25 yuan from his pocket and handed it to Han Donghua.

Han Donghua glanced at it, didn't answer, and walked into the back room with Mengmeng in his arms.

Liu Chen packed the money, turned around and walked into the kitchen, found some leftovers to eat, and went back to the house to lie on the table and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Liu Chen woke up early, rode the 28 bars to Linhu Town, bought rice, noodles, vegetables, cut some meat, bought 10 eggs, and when he was about to come back, he saw the fritters, so he bought half a catty of fritters and rode home.

He put all the things he bought on the Eight Immortals, and spent a total of 10 yuan.

He put the remaining 15 yuan on the table, tore off a calendar from the past, and wrote a line on it: Donghua, this money was earned by pulling potatoes yesterday, it is very clean! It cost 10 yuan to catch the market in the morning, and you have 15 left.

Pressing the money and notes under the bowl, Liu Chen pulled the cart and continued to pull the potatoes.

As soon as I walked out of the village, I saw that all the people pulling the carts were gathered at the entrance of the village, as if they were discussing something.

Seeing Liu Chen coming, Zhao Huaili greeted him from afar, "Hey, Liu Chen, come, you come here, let's discuss one thing." ”

Liu Chen walked over with the cart and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"That's the case, we all discussed, I want the drivers to raise the price for us, a car to us 2 yuan, at least 1 yuan 5, or the price will not be raised, we will all strike, do not pull, when the time comes, you will also be with us, we pull the board as long as they are twisted into a rope, not afraid that they will not increase the price." Zhao Huaili said.

Hearing this, Liu Chen instantly thought of what had happened in his previous life.

It must have been the collective demand for a price increase for these pallet trucks, and the truck drivers did not agree, so they all left.

As a result, many people's potatoes were no longer pulled, and they all rotted in the ground.

Thinking of this, Liu Chen said: "Brother Huaili, I just want to make money, don't pull me in this matter." ”

After saying that, he pulled the cart and walked forward.
