In the early days of reform, the peasants' sense of making money was not very strong, except for farming.

Occasionally, there will be people with foresight, planting cash crops, and after making a lot of money, they will learn to plant in the second year, but they can't sell them, so they can only be used as firewood.

There are also sheep, pigs and chickens, but the most populous farmers wait until the end of the year to sell, and most of them do not live the next year.

You don't need to count the daily expenses, that is, you can't afford to raise funds, agricultural taxes, volunteer labor, and the cost of children's schooling, and the harvest in the field is a little bad, so you have to borrow money and pay it.

There was no surplus in the harvest from farming, and farmers who wanted to live a good life began to find ways to make other money.

As a result, some shrewd peasants began to learn to learn hairdressing, learn sewing, or make cloth snacks and other businesses, and bought cars with more money and engaged in black car rentals.

At that time, there were few people doing business, and the business was very profitable, but most of them were full of prices, and the goods were not real, the prices were not real, and they could be blinded. Black rentals are even more arrogant, and the phenomenon of forcibly soliciting customers is not uncommon.

At that time, the clothing industry was not yet developed, and the finished clothes were sold less, so they mainly bought cloth and then found a tailor to measure the body size and wear it.

Barber shops, tailor shops are thriving.

Xin Peng's father sells cloth, and it is relatively easy to make money. However, doing business is not like the workers of state-owned enterprises to ensure income in drought and flood, and there are risks in making profits and losses in business, so timid people dare not do it at all.

"Liying, I'm going to Shangbu the day after tomorrow, and you go to the bank tomorrow to withdraw 3,000 yuan."

Xin Peng's father made a lot of money today, and when he got home, he was still humming a little song, and he was laughing happily when he ate.

"Look at you, why are you so happy today?"

"Liying, you still didn't let me do business at the beginning, guess how much you earned today!"

Xin Peng's father looked at Xin Peng's mother mysteriously, Xin Peng's mother guessed two hundred, five hundred, eight hundred, but did not guess, and finally Xin Peng's father stretched out two fingers.

"You don't believe it, two thousand!"

"Ahh Even during the Chinese New Year, I can't earn so much! ”

Xin Peng's mother was so shocked that she forgot to eat. At that time, 10,000 yuan households were still a sign of wealthy farmers, and 2,000 yuan was already a lot.

"Hahaha, I met a big one today, I don't know why, I went to the market to buy cloth, it was also a coincidence, I got that kind of cloth in the market, good guy, this person asked for all the inventory at once."

"Oh, that's not going to happen, can't you sell your two pieces of cloth for so much money?"

After being pleasantly surprised for a while, Xin Peng's mother began to eat, and her husband made money and made merit, sandwiching vegetables and meat.

Xin Peng's father, from the hot water basin, took out the scalded beer and said while drinking.

"It's a big money and I don't care, how much I want, he didn't even return the price and took it away! I guess it's a public unit, and I don't even need to issue an invoice. Hahaha, two thousand arrived at noon. ”

"Oh, okay, let's eat, see how happy you are."

Xin Peng's mother smiled and sandwiched another piece of beef for Xin Peng's father. This beef was bought by Xin Peng's father when he came home from the city.

At that time, pork was a luxury food in ordinary families, let alone beef.

……

People like to travel when they have money, and so does Xin Peng's father.

"Liying, let's go on a tour......"

After eating, Xin Peng's father said that he would take Xin Peng's mother to the city where he bought goods to buy cloth and travel by the way, but Xin Peng's mother disagreed.

"Let's all go out, who will cook for Xiaomin?"

"This is easy to do...... Xin Peng's father said with a smile: "Take him with you, just let him ask for a leave." ”

Xin Peng's mother gave him a blank look.

"Look at what you said, no, take him there and wait until the summer vacation, now take leave to go out to play, it's a shame for you."

Not to mention, Xin Peng's father, who drilled the eyes of money, really dared to do this. He has told his wife many times that it is useless for Xin Peng to go to school, so it is better to do business with him. If it weren't for Xin Peng's study, he could really let Xin Peng drop out.

"Then let him go to your mother's house, three days is not long."

After drinking tea and reading the newspaper, Xin Peng dropped a sentence and went to lie on the bed.

"My mother, my mother, aren't you called my mother?"

When Xin Peng's mother cleaned up the table, she hit Xin Peng's father with an apron, blaming him for not being able to speak, but Xin Peng's father can speak well in business, and there are many reasons.

"Liying, you are here again, it's just a statement, that is, I don't have a father, if my mother lives, I say go to my mother, you say I'm talking about that mother? Isn't it okay to separate like that, and you don't need to care about this little thing? ”

"Okay, okay, what you said is reasonable, tomorrow Xiaomin comes back, I'll talk to him, and then give our mother some money. How much do you say to give? In the past three days, Xiao Min has to eat and drink, and ······"

"Okay, okay, you look at it······"

Xin Peng's father has a bad reputation in the village, but he doesn't care about the money at home, which makes Xin Peng's mother very relieved.

When a man has money in his hands, he becomes bad, this is a wise saying, Xin Peng's mother believes it very much, she feels that as long as she grabs the family passbook, her husband will be much safer.

。

The city where Xiaoyan works is called Liuhe City, not far from Xinpeng's home, it takes less than an hour to Lingping City by long-distance bus, and then it is very convenient to take the bus to Xinpeng's home.

If you want to get rich and build roads first, after the reform and opening up, the bridge will be built higher and higher, and the road will be repaired more and more, and the newly built cement road around the city in Lingping City is wide and flat.

In the morning, buses smoke from the ring road stop and go.

Factories and buildings are being built in the ring road, and cars are passing back and forth on the construction site, and tower cranes are lined up.

Even in the village where Xin Peng lives, there are factories under construction around.

The shouts of people, the whistles, and the roar of motors rise and fall with each other.

The great man's thoughts are great and far-reaching, the great man can see the prospects and the future that ordinary people can't see, when the great man walks around the place, talks about it, the earth is like magic, and a company and factory emerge.

Xiao Yan sat by the window of the bus, and she could clearly see the difference between the two sides of the ring road.

Most of the construction sites on the south side of the road are being developed and built, while the north side is a different scene. To the north there were still patches of wheat, and the edges of the fields were covered with tall trees, thick and luxuriant.

"Didi ......"

"Wow ······"

A large dog on the side of the road is annoyed by the bus driver's prank and chases the bus and barks.

"Hee-hee-hee, little silly dog."

The little goose stuck out his tongue at the big dog by the window, but was discovered by the big dog, so he barked more happily.

。

"I don't think I'm at home......"

When her parents went out to load the goods, Xiaoyan naturally didn't know that when she came to Xinpeng's house, the door was locked.

After knocking on it, no one responded, and it felt like my parents were temporarily out of the house, so I stood at the door and waited.

In the back room of Xinpeng's house, the male owner's surname is Hou, and his wife's surname is also Hou.

"Girl, you are Wang Zhicai's goddaughter, right?"

This Aunt Hou is a warm-hearted person, she came back from working in the field and saw the little goose, came to her with a smile, and looked at her as she spoke.

"Uh-huh, auntie, do you know where my parents went?"

"They're on a trip."

"Tourism?"

"Yes, your mother told me yesterday that your parents were traveling and it would take a few days to come back."

"Oooh······"

I came to my parents' house with joy, wanting to chat with my mother and feel the warmth of the family, but my parents were not at home, and Xiaoyan was very disappointed.

"Did you know that my brother went too?"

Xiao Yan still didn't give up, and suddenly thought of Xin Peng, who was still in school.

"Then I don't know, but tomorrow and the day after tomorrow are Saturday and Sunday, Xiaomin doesn't go to school, so I guess I went on a trip."

"Oh······"

Aunt Hou said this, like a scoop of cold water poured on the head of the little goose, and the little hope that had just risen was gone.

。

The godfather and godmother were not at home, they couldn't wait, and even if they waited, there was no place to live, so Xiaoyan returned to the residence on the factory side of the factory the same way.

If he wanted to go back to his home, the time was too tight, so Xiaoyan spent May Day in the dormitory.

Because I bought a lot of delicious food and didn't give it away, it would spoil if I kept it, so I didn't feel heartache anymore, and I let go of my stomach and had a lot of luxury.

However, the intestines, which do not eat oil and water often, suddenly ate meat, and they were very unhappy, so they let her go to the toilet several times at night.
