Chapter 11 An honest man will be taken for a fool
Whether he is a bear or not, Liu Maotian himself doesn't know, he just relied on his own conscience and enthusiasm to make a helpless choice.
But it didn't take long for Liu Maotian to really do a simple thing, and when he thought about it, he couldn't wait to slap himself.
During the recess, a middle-aged man with a foreign accent and a mustache walked into the office with a few colorful clothes.
"Teacher, come and see our clothes, they are sturdy and cheap, and they won't rot if you buy them for three or five years. It can be worn as a coat in the open, and it is warm to wear it as a sweater inside. "It turned out to be a salesman.
Several teachers from the office gathered around.
"You see, this woolen sweater is so foreign and of good quality." Saying that, the vendor pulled hard, and his clothes were stretched so long: "Look at it, how strong it is"
Liu Maotian pondered that it was okay to buy one for the child, so he asked for a piece of clothing from the vendor, and looked at it twice inside and out, "How much?"
"Twenty-one Things"
"It's too expensive, and I don't even have a head for these few clothes." Liu Maotian threw the clothes to the hawker again
"What's more, on the tricycle at the door, I guarantee that you can pick the right one, how much do you think is appropriate? You give me a price!"
"It's worth ten dollars."
"Hey, ten bucks? Teacher, you are really joking, I can't get in for ten yuan, if you want this money to buy it, I want as much as you want. ”
"If you can sell it for ten yuan, you can sell it, and if you can't sell it, forget it!" Liu Maotian turned around and was about to return to his seat.
Several teachers also chimed in and said, "Sell, sell, sell the money."
"Mr. Sou scrapes the doctor, and the teacher is the one who deducts it," the vendor muttered with a hippie smile.
"What do you say? Who do you say deducted? Liu Maotian got angry and turned back again.
"If you don't have the money to buy it, don't buy it. Still too expensive? The peddler's eyes were a little contemptuous.
"I'll wrap you up! Do you believe it! Liu Maotian's blood rushed to his brain again.
"Hey, who doesn't know how to say big things!" The hawker's eyes grew more and more disdainful.
"Who says big things? I, Liu Maotian, haven't said anything big! ”
"Go, go, go, my clothes are all on the tricycle, you can buy them if you have the ability!" The hawkers are fighting again.
Liu Maotian didn't say a word, and pulled the hawker to the tricycle.
Several teachers followed. Teacher Sheng hurriedly persuaded: "Teacher Liu, don't be impulsive, don't take it seriously." ”
Liu Maotian hesitated for a moment.
"Don't have the guts! Bragging who wouldn't! I'm just selling it for ten dollars, do you dare to ask for it! The peddler looked defiant and contemptuous.
"Teacher Liu, buy! Don't ask him to underestimate our teacher! "Teacher Wan is a private teacher, and his monthly salary is much lower than Liu Maotian's, and his heart is always unbalanced.
"You're going to give me points! Count the money! As soon as Teacher Wan cheered up, Liu Maotian became even more energetic.
"Do you have that much money? I'll finish counting, you're running out of money. The peddler said again slowly
"I'll borrow no money!" Liu Maotian was afraid that others would look down on him, so his brain was dizzy and his temper came up. As soon as the teachers saw that Liu Maotian was on the bar, they didn't say anything.
"Teachers, all look at the points, I count." The peddler was secretly happy in his heart, he didn't expect such a person to come.
"It's forty-nine pieces in total, and I'll count it as ten yuan a piece, four hundred and nine!" After a while, the hawkers counted it.
"Teacher Sheng, I will lend you 200 yuan, and I will lend you another 200 yuan for that Teacher Wan, and I will pay it back tomorrow when I go home and bring the money." Liu Maotian had 100 yuan on him.
"Where do I bring money, I only have dozens of dollars in my pocket, you see." Teacher Wan took out the money, took out his pocket again, and showed it to Liu Maotian.
Teacher Sheng hesitated for a moment, looked at Liu Maotian who was huffing and puffed, and said, "I have four hundred here, and I originally wanted to deposit it in the bank, but I locked it in the drawer...... Mr. Liu, are you thinking about it? ”
"Don't think about it, I'll fight for it today!" Liu Maotian waved his hand very firmly.
"Okay." Teacher Sheng turned around and took the money.
"Look at Mr. Liu, you can't just say it." Teacher Wan wanted to see Liu Maotian's jokes.
"Or do you have the courage and courage, I really haven't served anyone in general, you are one." The hawker deliberately complimented Liu Maotian.
Liu Maotian was angry, and he couldn't hear the good words, so he was a little proud.
After a while, Teacher Sheng grabbed the money and walked over: "This is four hundred, you order a little." ”
Liu Maotian took the money, clicked it, and took out ninety from his pocket and put it in the vendor's hand: "Give it!" ”
At this moment, Liu Maotian felt a special spirit, as if he slapped the peddler's face.
The peddler took the money, didn't say a word, got on the bike and left.
Teacher Wan smiled and said, "Teacher Liu, these clothes are enough for your Liu Nian to wear." ”
Teacher Sheng said, "Maotian, I think you are a little impulsive, who are you buying so many clothes for?" ”
As soon as the teachers said this, Liu Maotian also thought about it: "Oops! It's true that I'm impulsive, as if I've fallen into someone else's trap. ”
Liu Maotian couldn't get up and down, so he could only say in a slur manner: "He is too annoying to speak, I just want to teach him a lesson." ”
"Maotian, why don't we retreat? These dozens of clothes, when to wear them, they are saying that your children will run up when they say they are tall, and they may not be able to wear them for a year. If you're embarrassed, I say, I'll give you back. Teacher Sheng persuaded Liu Maotian.
"Uh-mm-hmm-well," Liu Maotian drooped his head, his face aching.
"I'm going to ride away!" Teacher Sheng pushed the cart as he spoke.
Teacher Dasheng rode back: "Don't mention it, I drove two miles, but I didn't see anyone, people must have slipped away." ”
Liu Maotian had no choice, so he got out of school in the afternoon and found a fertilizer bag to pack his clothes into the family.
Liu Maotian's wife saw a big bag on the back seat of his bicycle from the window and asked, "Did you buy it?" This bag? ”
Liu Maotian sighed and explained honestly.
"And someone as stupid as you! And are you such a stupid person! If someone sets a set, you drill! Pull it to death! Liu Maotian's wife pointed to his head and shouted: "You are really capable!" You can! The meat has to be given to the eight immortals, and it is also a bachelor! ”
"What can I do! Keep it for your child! Liu Maotian was a little anxious when he was yelled, but he was not to be outdone.
"Still hard-tongued! Still hard-tongued! With you, this wretched scumbag, you are born with a crooked temperament," Maotian's daughter-in-law became more and more angry the more she talked.
"Throw it! Throw it! Liu Maotian said angrily.
Liu Maotian's wife saw that Liu Maotian was getting more and more energetic, twisted her head, and simply ignored him.
Liu Maotian's tone softened: "It's all bought at home, how do you say to get it?" ”
Yes, I've bought all of this, and it's useless to regret it, but if I wear it until when! Liu Maotian's daughter-in-law looked at this bag of clothes and became worried.
"Or, you take the class and ask the students if they have anything they want" Liu Maotian's wife had an idea.
"Can you sell it to students? You're just paying attention! How can I tell the students," Liu Maotian felt that his daughter-in-law was messing with her ideas, and her tone became tough again.
"Then you can leave it alone! Five hundred dollars of stuff rots it! How much money do you make in a month! You don't have to pay back the money you borrowed! Look at your death, you want to face it, and you will suffer from it! Why can't you sell it to students? Students love to want, don't count, and you don't earn their money. ”
is also this principle, Liu Maotian turned around and muttered listlessly; "You're right, you're right, okay, I'll take the school to sell it tomorrow."
The next day, Liu Maotian put his clothes in the original camel school again.
He was not embarrassed to enter the office, and directly carried the bag into the classroom: "Well-this, classmates, do you want clothes?" The teacher here is cheap to dispose of some clothes....." Shigeda opened his mouth with great difficulty, then untied the bag, and put a wad of clothes on the podium.
The class was lively.
"How much does a teacher cost?" A child asked excitedly.
How much is Liu Maotian selling for? He thought about it and hesitated and said, "Five pieces." ”
"Teacher, I don't have any money."
"No money, it's okay, I think it looks good, take it home at noon, show it to the parents, take the money in the photo, and get the clothes back if you don't get it." Liu Maotian's mind became flexible at the moment.
The classroom was boiling with excitement, and the children gathered around Shigeta in the middle, choosing their favorite clothes.
After school, the students in Liu Maotian's class took a piece of clothing and swayed and jumped home like a flag.
During the afternoon class, some of the students brought back their clothes.
Parents don't agree, and children can't cheer teachers on if they want to.
Fortunately, there are still many students who left their clothes.
Liu Maotian counted more than 30 pieces sold, less than 200 yuan. Liu Maotian let out a sigh: "I finally didn't lose all the money, and the rest is left for the children to wear." ”
So Liu Nian wore new clothes for more than a year, changing the pattern, but the clothes shrank as soon as they were washed, and the more they went through the pumping, the smaller ones were like children's clothes, but fortunately, the elasticity was huge, and they could still be worn in, but they were as uncomfortable as being tied.
But there is an unexpected surprise, this dress crackles as soon as it is taken off at night, Liu Nian's light is turned off, and he specially performs for his sister.
It wasn't until Liu Nian suddenly strung up that these clothes were never worn again.
