Because the weather was too cold, the snowflakes that fell on Gu Yingying's cheeks did not immediately turn into water droplets.

Ye Fei subconsciously wiped off the snowflakes on her with his hands and said, "Yingying, it's too cold, while the snow hasn't fallen yet, you hurry back." ”

Gu Yingying looked up at the sky and said, "What do you want, it's so big, I haven't seen the snow on our feet cover it." ”

Because Shixi Village is located south of the Yangtze River, it does not snow for eight out of ten years, and occasionally experiences a snow in winter, which symbolically spreads a thin layer of silver on the earth.

But this year, everyone is complaining that it has just entered the wax moon, and it is unbearable cold, but no one could have imagined that this year they will experience an unprecedented blizzard.

Ye Fei rubbed his palm vigorously, then covered Gu Yingying's flushed face and said, "Be obedient, go back early, I have to hurry up and earn money." ”

Gu Yingying pouted and said, "I don't expect you to make so much money a year ago, is that something that people can do, anyway, I have made up my mind, if my family doesn't want to, I'll elope with you." ”

Ye Fei smiled and said, "Even if it's elopement, don't we have to save some money first, or go out to drink the northwest wind." ”

When Gu Yingying heard this, she became worried.

She immediately said in a warning tone: "Xiaofei, we can earn money slowly, you can't do anything illegal and undisciplined, if something happens to you, I won't live......"

"Bah, crow's mouth, you can't say these words of death or life in the future."

Gu Yingying's words may sound like scaremongering words to others, but Ye Fei knows that she is really capable of doing this kind of thing.

At this time, Gu Yingying looked around and saw that there was no one, so she took out a gold bracelet from her pocket and handed it to Ye Fei.

Ye Fei was shocked and hurriedly asked, "Yingying, are you ...... What is the meaning. ”

"This is my mother's bracelet......"

"Ah, this can't be what you stole from home, you go back quickly, we can't do this, this has to let your family know ......."

Gu Yingying insisted on stuffing this gold bracelet into Ye Fei's hand and said: "Of course not, this is what my mother secretly gave me, she knew that my father went to your house to make trouble today, and you must be worried about money, so let me give this to you, saying that I can help you a little bit." ”

The gold in his hand was cold, but Ye Fei's heart was warm at this time, he knew that Gu Yingying's mother Li Xiu'e was a reasonable and kind-hearted person, and she had always supported the two of them together.

It's just that in these years, women have almost no say in the family, let alone in the family of the village chief, who has always been strong, so her opinion will not be adopted at all in the marriage of the two of them.

Ye Fei pushed it and said, "No, I haven't married you yet, how can I take something so valuable from your family, if I let others know, how can I hold my head up." ”

Gu Yingying smiled and said: "What do you want to do, who said that I gave you this gold bracelet for nothing, my mother can say it, this is lent to her future son-in-law, and when you earn money in the future, you will return a bigger one to her." ”

Ye Fei took the gold bracelet in his hand, and felt that there were twenty or thirty grams, according to the current gold price of one hundred and ten yuan, this thing could be exchanged for at least two or three thousand yuan in cash when it was taken to the gold shop in the town.

He also knew that if he could now have an extra two or three thousand principal in his hand to hoard coal, then he would earn enough 10,000 yuan to add an extra layer of insurance.

So Ye Fei put the gold bracelet in his pocket, patted it again and said, "Okay, then you remember to go back and tell my future mother-in-law, it won't be long before I return this bracelet to her, it will be heavier than this." ”

After Gu Yingying returned home, Ye Fei waited for the bicycle to go straight to his coal yard in the town.

Along the way, Ye Fei looked up at the sky from time to time, for fear that his plan would be ruined by the sudden heavy snowfall.

Fortunately, although the snowflakes in this sky fell from time to time, they did not mean to make a big fall, so I was relieved.

When he came to the town, Ye Fei first found a gold shop and wanted to exchange the bracelet for money first.

In these years, few people will go to the gold store to buy jewelry, so as soon as Ye Fei entered, the boss was like seeing a rich man, and he came up politely.

"Boss, do you want to buy a necklace or a ring, we have gold and silver here."

Ye Fei pretended to be a customer, and asked while looking at the jewelry on the counter, "Boss, how much is a gram of gold now?" ”

"Gold is not cheap now, it costs 105 a gram, you better buy it as soon as possible, I estimate that it will rise in the future."

“105？ Can it be cheaper? ”

The boss shook his head and said, "Yo, I'm sorry, this price is the same all over the country, and you can't get cheap anywhere." ”

Ye Feixin said that what he was waiting for was you, and he didn't have to run back and forth to compare prices.

So he took out the gold bracelet and said, "Boss, do you want to take this thing from me?" ”

The heaviest piece of jewelry in this gold store is just a gold chain of one or twenty grams, and as soon as he saw that Ye Fei took out this gold bracelet with a small appearance of thirty grams, the boss's eyes immediately lit up.

But the boss was just about to reach out to pick it up, so he took it back, and then said cautiously: "Young man, let's talk about it in advance, if I sell it, it's 105, but if I accept it, it's this price." ”

As he spoke, the boss made a gesture of nine.

Ye Fei smiled and said, "Ninety-five at the minimum." ”

And without waiting for the boss to bargain, Ye Fei continued: "Sell this bracelet to you, you help me melt it, and then ask for the shape of this bracelet, you add twenty grams of gold to it for me, make a big bracelet out, and after a month, I will buy it at a price of 105 per gram, what do you think?" ”

When the boss heard this, his heart blossomed, and his heart said that this deal was suitable, and he could easily earn hundreds of yuan from this single transaction inside and out, so he immediately nodded and agreed.

The gold bracelet was exchanged for money, and at this time, Ye Fei could be said to be carrying a "huge amount of money" of 5,000 yuan.

However, even if all of these 5,000 yuan is used to hoard coal now, the price will more than double by then, and he will only earn 7,000 or 8,000 yuan.

So Ye Fei had to find a way from somewhere else.

The Ye family's coal yard is actually to find an open space on the edge of the town, fence it off, and then pile up coal, and there is more than one such coal yard around.

Before he reached the coal yard while pedaling his bicycle, Ye Fei saw a row of cars parked on the road that had come from other places to sell coal.

These cars were three-wheeled and four-wheeled, and they were loaded with coal and carbon.

The drivers also had no one to care about the coal, so they all gathered on the side of the road at this time to rub their hands and talk about the mountains.

As soon as Ye Fei stopped in front of a car, the drivers immediately swarmed around.
