The morning sun is slightly dewed, and there is movement in Banpo Village.

The roosters and dogs crowed, and the donkeys and cows crowed, and gradually the village became lively.

Lin Xiao got up very early, and when the family got up, he had already picked up a large vat of water.

He also borrowed pig-killing belongings from Huzi's family, and when he put them all in the yard, the children in the neighborhood came to see the excitement.

However, the killing of pigs during the New Year is a relatively rare thing in the village.

"Xiao'er! What exactly do you want to do? Our family can't afford pork, let alone a pig. ”

Liu Xiuzhi looked puzzled, she asked Lin Xiao a little angrily.

Lin Xiao smiled and said, "Mom! You believe me, once this pig is killed, it will soon turn into money. ”

"Brother! You have been outside all these years, and the situation in the village doesn't seem to be understood at all, even if it is the Chinese New Year, many families can't afford to eat pork, who do you kill pigs to sell meat to at this time? I want to eat meat, but I don't have the money. ”

Lin Qian curled her mouth, and she also persuaded Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao said: "The people in the village have no money, but there is food, we sell one pound of pork for one yuan, wheat is calculated by one dime per catty, ten catties of wheat for one catty of pork, do you think someone will change it?" ”

"My family is hungry for five catties."

With laughter, Xia Huzi and Chen Erniu walked in.

Chen Erniu laughed and said: "This method is good, the richest thing in our village is grain, and my family will also exchange it for five catties." ”

As soon as Xia Huzi and Chen Erniu said this, several neighbors also shouted that their families would also change.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Lin Xiao didn't say much, he took off his shirt twice, and then got into the pigsty and dragged out his big fat pig.

The big fat pig was desperately making trouble, but Lin Xiao's hands were like iron tongs.

With the help of Xia Huzi and Chen Erniu, Lin Xiao pressed the big fat pig down on the board, and with the long knife stabbing in, the miserable cry of the big fat pig resounded throughout Banpo Village.

Boil water and pluck hair, the whole process is not muddy and watery, Lin Qian smiled mischievously: "Brother! You have been in the army for a few years to kill pigs? I see that you are more skilled than Uncle Xia in this move. ”

"Brother is all-rounder, he has learned a lot of skills in the army, you will know it later."

Lin Xiao laughed, his hand was up and down, and pieces of pork and white flowers were all placed on the board.

The Lin family's exchange of pork for grain soon spread throughout Banpo Village.

Banpo Village has a lot of land per capita, and it is very fertile, and every household has grain, but because it is located in a mountainous area, the transportation is not developed, and the circulation with the outside world is not smooth, even if there is food, it is difficult to turn it into money.

Lin Xiao's trick was very effective, it was not even noon, and more than 200 catties of pork had turned into more than 2,000 catties of wheat.

As for the pig's offal and lard, Lin Xiao asked his mother to stay at home to eat.

"Xiao'er! The family is in dire need of money now, but even if there is so much food, it will not be able to become money for a while! ”

Liu Xiuzhi had a bitter face, and she shook her head helplessly.

"Mom! You give me another day. ”

After Lin Xiao finished speaking, he turned around and went to find Xia Huzi.

***

The next day, his good brother Xia Huzi borrowed a walk-behind tractor from the brick factory, and with the help of him and Chen Erniu, more than 2,000 catties of wheat were loaded onto the tractor.

Subsequently, Lin Xiao and the three of them drove a tractor to Qindong County.

At a farmer's market in the suburbs, the wheat they pulled was quickly snapped up at a price of one dime and two cents per catty because of its good condition.

"Yes, brother! You didn't serve in vain, and your brain has become much smarter after a few years out.

Do you know? This wheat is sold in our Nanyang Township, and there are really not many people who can give nine points. ”

Chen Erniu patted Lin Xiao's shoulder, and he laughed happily.

Lin Xiao looked around alertly, he smiled and said, "Thanks to the help of the two brothers, I will invite you to dinner." ”

"Take two sips!"

Xia Huzi hurriedly said with a smile.

Lin Xiao didn't speak, he took the two good brothers into a small restaurant on the side of the road, and then asked for a bowl of noodles each.

"Isn't it! You're too stingy, I bought two packs of phoenix pot cigarettes when I borrowed this car for you. ”

Xia Huzi said, and he also punched Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao looked out of the door, and he whispered: "We seem to be being targeted, after eating, you take the money and drive the tractor to go first, and Erniu and I will lead them away." ”

As he spoke, Lin Xiao took out the money from the green bag to sell the grain, and then handed it to Xia Huzi from under the table.

Xia Huzi's face changed slightly, he hurriedly sorted out the money, and then asked in a low voice, "Then what should you do?" ”

"Let's take the train back, you don't stop on the way, just keep driving."

Lin Xiao said and folded a newspaper on the table and put it in a small green bag.

After eating, the three of them walked out of the small restaurant together, and Lin Xiao deliberately hugged the green bag very tightly.

"You go back first, let's go buy a radio."

Lin Xiao deliberately said loudly to Xia Huzi.

Xia Huzi understood, he smiled and said, "Bring things well, be careful." ”

After Xia Huzi finished speaking, he walked quickly.

Lin Xiao glanced at Chen Erniu, and as soon as they walked forward, five or six men squatting on the side of the road stood up.

These people have strange hairstyles, long hair, and bald heads.

Judging from the way they dressed, they were by no means good people, Lin Xiao only glanced at them with his spare eyes, and he gave these people this definition.

Chen Erniu looked a little nervous, and he asked in a low voice, "What should I do?" Let's run! I've heard people say it's a bit of a mess in this place. ”

"Don't be afraid! I'll lure them away when I do it later, just don't come over. ”

Lin Xiao was not afraid when he said this, he seemed extremely calm.

Chen Erniu let out a sigh of relief and said, "Are you alone?" There seem to be several of them, and if they bring knives, it will be troublesome. ”

"Don't worry, brother has this ability, you go to the main road, and I will enter this alley."

Lin Xiao hurriedly pushed Chen Erniu aside as he spoke, and he turned around and entered a small alley on the side of the road.

This is supposed to be the family home of a certain unit, the alley is deep and long, and it may be working hours, the alley is extremely quiet, and there is hardly anyone in and out.

As soon as Lin Xiao walked into the alley, the men followed.

It wasn't until he walked into the innermost part of the alley that Lin Xiao stopped when there was no way out.

"What do you want to do?"

Lin Xiao turned around violently, and he asked in a cold voice.

These people were obviously stunned, the bald head who walked in the front looked at Lin Xiao with small eyes, he smiled and said, "Brothers, you have been short of money recently, borrow some money!" ”

"Really? I have more money than you do, or you can borrow me a little. ”

Lin Xiao said, and suddenly took out a brick from the wall of the alley and held it in his hand.

The bald man's face changed slightly, and he sneered and said, "It seems that you don't want to borrow this money?" ”

"I want to borrow it, but I really don't."

Lin Xiao said, he took a step closer to the bald head, he hated these guys who didn't work for anything the most.

The bald head didn't know whether he was alive or dead, he pointed to the green bag on Lin Xiao's back and said, "You have it in the bag, and we have been eyeing you since you collected the money." ”

"Good! Then this bag is for you. ”

Lin Xiao said, and really threw the small bag over.

When the bald head received it in his hand, he opened it with a little pleasure, but there was nothing left in it except a folded newspaper.

"Holy shit, you're kidding us? Scrap the bastard. ”

The bald head was so angry that he immediately flashed a switchblade in his hand.
