Chapter 35: I Met the Stallholder
Following
As usual, Fang Bai instructed the part-time students to fix their TVs, read books in their spare time, and planned to go back to school in the afternoon to answer questions from teachers.
In the morning, Fang Shi rode his bicycle to Yongjia No. 1 Middle School, wanting to share the good news of TV sales with his wife.
However, when he arrived at the school gate, no matter how he explained, the guards did not allow him to enter the campus to look for people, mistakenly believing that he was the one who was looking for an excuse to enter the campus to find students.
It was normal for the guards to look at him as a peasant, and not to bother with him.
Fang Shi was also very helpless, standing outside the iron gate and looking inside, he happened to see his wife cleaning not far away, and shouted "Fengqing".
Liu Fengqing was busy cleaning with her head down, when she suddenly heard a familiar shout, looked up, and saw a familiar person waving to her.
When the two met, Fang Shi told his wife about the boom in TV sales.
"I'm dripping the sky, and I sold it for 18,000 in one day!"
Liu Fengqing's eyebrows were raised upward, and his mouth was wide open, "Then our family, isn't it rich?" β
His monthly salary is only fifty yuan, and there are no other benefits.
It's not that she likes this job, but she can't find a stable job, otherwise where would her children go to school and spend money.
A few days ago, her son suggested that she resign, and she was still hesitating.
But now, with her son earning her salary for more than twenty years in one day, she has nothing to hesitate about.
She decided to go over and help out and do some chores.
"Yes, 29 TVs were sold, and I was responsible for collecting the money, and there was no place to put my satchel when it was full.
I heard my son say that it is estimated that there are nearly 200 units that can be repaired, and if they can be sold out, there are really more than 100,000 units. Fang Shi said excitedly, proud of his son.
This money-making model can make more money than opening a small factory.
There are many people in the village who open small workshops in the county seat, most of them are 10,000 yuan, and the most earned is estimated to be more than 100,000 yuan, and the scale of their factories is relatively large.
Now, his son makes more money than the most bullish boss in the village by tinkering with a car of TVs.
In front of his son, he must maintain the glorious image of his father, but in front of his wife, he is a little embarrassed.
"Okay, I'll go through the resignation procedures now, and you can go back to my son to help first." Liu Fengqing finally decided.
β¦β¦
In the morning, Fang Bai negotiated a lease with the landlord next door, and the annual rent was 450 yuan, which was 90 yuan more expensive than his own rent.
If you love to rent, you will rent, and if you don't rent, you will pull down.
Spending an extra 90 yuan to make it convenient for himself, Fang Bai felt that it didn't matter if he was caught.
7 people came this morning to repair the TV,The original shop is full of TVs,It's very narrow,It's troublesome to move a buttocksγ
With one more shop, there will be more space for everyone's activities.
In the afternoon,
Fang Bai bought a bag of six or seven catties of apples and came to Oubei No. 1 Middle School.
When I entered the school gate, I gave an apple to the doorman and chatted with him.
The doorman smiled and sent him to the campus, saying that he would often return to the school when he was free.
The janitor is paid the lowest wage in the school, but to the students, he is second only to the principal.
If you are familiar with the doorman, you can swagger out of the campus without asking for a leave note.
Fang Bai walked up the stairs, crossed the hall, and came to the head teacher's office, and when he was about to enter the door, he heard several teachers talking about the stalls selling TVs at the Oubei Bus Passenger Station.
If you think about it, it's normal for these teachers to know.
The south gate of Oubei No. 1 Middle School is two or three hundred meters away from the Oubei passenger station, some teachers live in the urban area, pass by there after work in the afternoon, and it is normal to see it, maybe they also join in the excitement to go in and see.
He had just left the stall at four o'clock in the afternoon, otherwise he would have run into the teacher.
"When I went home yesterday, I passed by the passenger station and saw that there were TVs for sale, and there were a lot of people who bought them, all TVs were only 2% off, including large color TVs, and the 21-inch ones were only 1,100."
"Why is it so cheap, isn't it a rush to buy it at two folds."
"The TV is a bit old, and it is said to be an imported testing machine, which is why it is so cheap, and many people rush to get it. Hey,It's a pity I didn't have any money with me.,Or buy a color TV and go back.,21-inch can't afford it.,14-inch it's okay.γ β
"If it can be used, it can indeed be bought, I want to buy it, Mr. Zhang, is the stall still there?" Fang Bai's homeroom teacher, Zhan Feng, asked.
"I said I would come back tomorrow to set up a stall."
Fang Bai knocked on the door before entering, smiled and distributed the fruit to the three teachers in the office, leaving the most fruit for the head teacher Zhan Feng.
The last time he gave it to the old homeroom teacher's office teacher, this time it was the turn of the new homeroom teacher and the teachers.
In the same operation, the teachers politely accepted Fang Bai's fruits, and also got to know Fang Bai, feeling that Fang Bai's student was particularly interesting.
After the teacher accepted the fruit, Fang Bai interjected: "Teachers, I just heard that you want to buy an imported TV." β
"Let's just talk about it, if it's really that cheap, we can consider it."
"Oh, that's it.
If you really want to buy it, I know the stall owner, there are too many discounts, at most on the original basis of a 9% discount.
His TV is an imported test machine, and the old one is old, but the quality is fine. β
As soon as the words fell, the teachers were slightly surprised.
A female teacher really wanted to buy a color TV, and her eyes lit up: "Classmate Fang Bai, really, you won't be joking, do you really know the boss?" β
"Of course I know, we are from the same village, and we still have the surname Fang, and the relationship is good." Fang Bai said with a smile, the boss is himself, and the little boss is his father.
It's just that he doesn't want the teacher to know that his family sells TVs.
It is appropriate to ask the teacher for questions and be grateful to the teacher, and it can be regarded as giving back to the society.
Most of the teachers in these years really pay for their students wholeheartedly, it is common to work overtime to correct homework without overtime pay, patrol the student dormitory at night, pay attention to each student's family situation, and occasionally do home visits, not wanting to be more second-rate in the society.
In addition, after getting acquainted, Fang Bai gave the teacher a preferential price, not to highlight how good he was in front of the teacher, it was too boring.
"Oh, I see, then when we buy it, how do we get a discount."
"I'll go back in the afternoon to visit the boss of the same village, and when you buy it, just report my name and say that I introduced it."
After Fang Bai finished speaking, he said to the head teacher, "If the head teacher wants to buy it, it is no problem to give a 20% discount on the original basis, I took it at a friendly price, only one." β
"Fang Bai, then thank you, I'll think about it, after all, TV is not cheap." Zhan Feng was moved when he heard this discount, and he was a little suspicious, not knowing whether it was true or not.
Anyway, I'll have to ask when the time comes.
If there is really such a big discount, she really owes the student a favor, so Yu said to Fang Bai:
"Thank you Fang Bai in advance."
"Yes, I would like to thank Fang Bai in advance, whether I buy it or not." The other teachers said so, feeling that Fang Bai might really be bragging, but they hoped it was true.
"The teacher is polite, it's just a trivial matter." Fang Bai smiled, took out a notebook from his backpack, and unceremoniously asked the teacher for questions.
The question he raised was hotly discussed by several teachers.
Fang Bai just entered the classroom, and the classmates were just a little curious this time, feeling that this guy often doesn't come to school, what is he doing repeating.
"Boss, you're finally here!" When Wang Dakai saw Fang Bai coming, he stood up and greeted him with a smile.
When the other students heard him call Fang Bai like this, they were even more curious, how could Fang Bai make this big man volunteer to be a junior brother.
Of course, most of the classmates felt that the two of them were not doing their jobs properly and engaged in the underworld, and they despised them.
"Well, I'm coming!"
Fang Bai patted him on the shoulder and sat down, this guy likes to call him "boss", so let him be.
He felt that this big man was flexible and sincere, and it was worth making friends.
Next, Fang Bai took two afternoon classes to feel the learning atmosphere of the classroom.
In fact, he sat in the classroom, and he missed the days when he went to school with Qin Shuyu.
In his sophomore and junior years of high school, he sat in the back seat of Qin Shuyu, and he could still see the girl's long black hair, and he could chat a few words and spend a good high school life.
Now sitting in front of him, a fat-faced girl Zhang Xiaoai, very lively, and at the same table with her is a thin girl Zheng Ran with acne, very shy.
Of course, Fang Bai didn't dislike the two of them for being ugly, and they could still chat together after class.
Zhang Xiaoai saw Fang Bai sitting down, turned his head and squeezed out a big smile: "Fang Bai, I haven't seen you for many days." β
"Well, Xiao Ai, long time no see." Fang Bai suddenly remembered the voice wake-up word of the smart device in the later generations, and wanted to laugh a little.
"Boss, it's nice to be cutie."
Zhang Xiaoai raised her eyebrows: "Big man, I don't allow you to call me like that, please call me Zhang Xiaoai." β
Wang Dakai smirked: "Okay, cutie." β
Zhang Xiaoai snorted, didn't bother to pay attention to him, and sat upright to read.
Fang Bai knew that this big man was pretending to be stupid, could he really like this classmate Zhang Xiaoai?
Well, the two are a good match.
"Boss...... Wang Dakai wanted to talk to Fang Bai.
"Read books, less nonsense!"
"Oh, okay." Wang Dakai also sat upright, picked up the book and looked at it seriously.
Fang Bai read carefully, in a few days, he will take the monthly exam, he has been busy with business recently, but he can't fall behind in his studies.
He spent the most time in English, followed by Physics and Mathematics and the least in Chinese.
Fang Bai believes that if the Chinese language can be improved from 96 to 110 points, it is qualified, and for other subjects, at least 130 points are enough.
It is very difficult to improve this way, and such a score of 630 cannot go to the more ideal major of Shencheng Jiaotong University.
Of course, this score is enough to go to a major university to complete the requirements for two levels.
It has only been more than ten years since the resumption of the college entrance examination, and the students are not so rolled, and the admission score line of the top universities is lower, if it is a few years later, there are no 670+ in Jiangnan Province, where dare to apply for Chengjiao University.
Fang Bai tried his best to study, hoping to leave no regrets.
After school in the afternoon, Fang Bai went to the teacher's office to ask questions, and left the school for more than ten minutes.
As soon as I went back to the rented house, I saw that my sister and mother had come, and my father had also returned.
When Fang Tingting saw her brother coming back, she ran up and hugged his arm: "Brother, you have so many TVs, so isn't there a color TV per capita in our family?"
I can take one, Hoho. β
When Fang Bai heard his sister ask, he knew that she hadn't been out of school for the past few days, and said, "As long as it doesn't affect your studies, you can look at one of them." β
"Wow, really, dude is so nice."
"Fake, I want to eat fart, I've watched too many TV series, and my brain grows maggots."
"That's not good, you promised me just now, I'll occupy one when the holiday comes."
Liu Fengqing was also very happy to see the child, and suddenly remembered something, took out a letter from the pouch and handed it to his son: "Son, Xiaoyu wrote a letter to you, remember to reply to someone." β
The envelope is from Shencheng University of Finance and Economics, and the pen is "Qin Shuyu", she knows who wrote it, and told her son not to miss important things.
In this era, letters generally had to be written, and in case they could not be sent, they could be returned to the sender.
Fang Bai hurriedly took it: "Mom, when did you arrive?" β
"Last night, the village chief shouted the horn to inform you to take it, and I will go home in the afternoon and bring it to you."
Fang Bai said "oh", the postman usually delivers the letter to the primary school, and the village chief shouts the horn every once in a while to inform the whole village, or he will go to the primary school mailroom at an irregular time to check.
In some villages, the postman delivers directly to the door, but the terrain of their village is very different, and the postman is reluctant to deliver it to the door, unless it is a particularly important document or a notice to pick it up in the town.
Fang Bai took the letter back to the bedroom and opened the envelope to read.
Let's look at the time of writing first, it is October 16th, and it will be sent to my home on October 24th, and today is October 25th, Thursday.
As soon as I looked at it for a while, my sister came in, smiled and said, "Brother, I have a sister-in-law, I am still a college student, you are a good cow, my mother said that my sister-in-law is so beautiful, why are the flowers arched by my brother's pig, I can't figure it out." β
"Your brother is charming, you see."
Fang Bai pushed his sister out of the bedroom, and then locked the door, affecting him to read the letter.
