When he got up early in the morning and finished breakfast, Han Chunlei found that the clothes he had to change when he went out had been packed into a canvas bag.

The canvas bag is hung at the end of the bed, it is cross-body, army green, and the head of the great leader Mao ~ Lord ~ Xi is printed on the surface of the bag, and five big red characters are printed below the head - serving the people.

In the seventies and eighties, whether in the city or in the countryside, they liked to use this kind of bag when they went out, which was lightweight, convenient, and had a large space, and the key was to be solid. The Red Guards of the Wen~Revolution fought with each other for a while, and they put two bricks in this kind of bag, and they couldn't see it at all. Later, because this canvas bag is solid and durable, they thought of putting the bricks in it, and then sealing the mouth of the bag, refitting it into a meteor hammer.

"Mom, sister, I'm out!"

Han Chunlei put the canvas bag on his shoulder, walked to the door, and did not forget to play the old man's chicken~ chicken, and instructed, "Spring Breeze, listen to our mother and sister at home." Also, you're eight or nine years old, don't be bare-chested all day long, don't be ashamed to panic?"

Han Chunfeng sucked the snot girl with a pendant on the tip of her nose fiercely, covered the chick with her hand, turned her head and shouted into the house, "Mom, my brother played my chicken again~ chicken." ”

"Han Chunlei, you don't have a proper shape?"

Mao Yuzhen just came out, glared at him, and then scolded Han Chunfeng, "You said that you kid doesn't know how ugly, you are bare all day long, be careful that you can't marry a daughter-in-law in the future!"

Han Chunfeng cut off, "I'm still early, and my sister is in a hurry!"

As soon as these words came out, Han Chunlei knew that this kid was going to stab Lou Zi. It's really where your sister Chun peach hurts, you sprinkle salt wherever you want, and it's coarse salt.

Sure enough, Han Chuntao ran out of the voice, still holding a large unwashed enamel rice bowl in his hand, and scolded with a face, "Han Chunfeng, are you looking for death?"

"Uh, I'm going to pick up cow dung, otherwise I'll let Ming Wazi pick it up first!" Han Chunfeng wittily picked up the small back basket and flashed quickly.

Mao Yuzhen saw Chun Tao come out and said, "Chun Tao, you clean up, isn't Chun Lei going to the commune? ”

Han Chuntao didn't know what to do, "What am I going to do?"

Han Chunlei was also strange, didn't he say that he would go into the city to sell bamboo products this time, and his sister wouldn't go?

Mao Yuzhen said: "You go to the supply and marketing cooperatives to cut two catties of meat and come back, and you have to pick up fat." Come back with two bottles of Shaoxing rice wine, by the way, bring back two packs of harvest cigarettes"

"My God, Mom, I'm going to go with my front heels, and you're buying meat, wine, and cigarettes with your heels, what are you going to do?" Han Chunlei looked depressed and shouted, "If you don't take you like this, you want to live a capitalist and rotten life behind my back!"

"Don't talk to the old lady with a greasy mouth," Mao Yuzhen glanced at Han Chunlei with disdain, "You have been to Changhe Commune and Shangtang Commune these times, and you have not been able to endure hardships?" Yesterday at the ferry, the old lady listened to the Shangtang Commune surnamed Li said that you kid even drank Yanghe Daqu, you loser!"

Han Chunlei explained: "That's the guest invited by the Guangdong boss, and I will eat and drink." Mom, what are you buying these for?"

Mao Yuzhen is used to picking the door, Han Chunlei definitely doesn't believe that she will buy wine and meat to improve her living standards.

Mao Yuzhen said: "At noon, I want to invite Mingwa and his fourth uncle, oh, it's Han Zhanshui who comes to the house to eat wine and eat, looking for someone to save trouble, you don't have any meat, you don't have any wine, can you say it?"

"Save up, what do we need him to save up?" Han Chuntao frowned, puzzled, "This Han Zhanshui also pried our jelly beans for a tattered business! ”

"What do you two hairy children know? Of course, it's a big deal. ”

Mao Yuzhen smiled proudly, and said slightly: "Han Zhanshui is a well-known mason in our Chaijiawu, a good hand at building houses, isn't our family going to build a new house? ”

Han Chunlei sighed, I see, this is not a trivial matter, it is not a trivial matter to build a house, it is also a ramming foundation, all kinds of sand and wood, all kinds of red bricks and black tiles, and artificial shoulder and hand saws, but it is not a one-person job. It's not something that Mao Yuzhen can do. It is reliable to find Han Zhanshui, an old mason, to preside.

"Let's go, sister, let's go together. Han Chunlei greeted Han Chuntao.

Han Chunlei entered the house to change his clothes, then stretched out his hand to Mao Yuzhen and said, "Mom, where is the money?"

"What's the money?" Mao Yuzhen looked dazed.

Han Chuntao said: "In the supply and marketing cooperative, I buy meat and wine, and I also buy two packs of harvest cigarettes, and I don't spend money or tickets?"

Mao Yuzhen pointed at Han Chunlei with her finger, "Looking for Chunlei!"

"What? I... Me?"

Han Chunlei opened his mouth in surprise, pointed to his nose with his finger, and asked in disbelief: "Two catties of meat, two bottles of Shaoxing Huang, plus two boxes of harvest cigarettes, this is all five yuan, why should I pay this money?"

Mao Yuzhen glared at him, and said righteously: "Are you the male of the Han family? After this new house is built, who will live in? Where will you get married and have children in the future, where will you live? After the old lady is a hundred years old, who will leave this house to? And after my new house is built, whose scenery will ......?"

"Stop!"

Han Chunlei hurriedly stopped, nodded again and again and said, "Mom, I'll pay for this money! I'll pay out!"

"That's not the end of it. ”

Mao Yuzhen did not forget to remind Chun Tao, "Go early and come back early, remember to pick fat and cut meat, you can also squeeze oil, and eat it with soy sauce when you get out of the oil residue, and you can eat it for several mornings." ”

"Sister, don't pestle, let's go quickly, if you don't leave, our mother may want you to bring two pieces of soap back." ”

Han Chunlei hurriedly pulled Han Chuntao and ran out.

......

......

Chaijiawu is not far from Changhe Commune, more than ten miles, if there is a highway open to traffic, it is a matter of one foot on the accelerator. It was more time-saving to travel lightly and on the mountain road, and Han Chunlei and Han Chuntao arrived at the commune in less than an hour or so.

At this time, it was half past nine and almost ten o'clock, and the supply and marketing cooperatives had already opened. Han Chunlei led his sister to the door of the supply and marketing cooperative.

"Sister, this is a wine ticket and a meat ticket, and this is five yuan, for you. ”

Han Chunlei took out the money and tickets from his trouser pocket and counted them to Han Chuntao.

Han Chuntao's eyes were sharp, and after seeing that Chunlei gave him five yuan, there was not much left in his hand, and it was only about ten yuan. So she took away the meat and wine tickets, then gently pushed back the eight yuan, shook her head and smiled: "Big brother, Sister Qian has it." You forgot that we used to make jelly beans to change rags, and my sister herself saved a small ten yuan. Aren't you going to the provincial capital? There are many places to spend money, and you keep that money for yourself. ”

"Sister, you can save your own money, and you don't need to pay for it. ”

Han Chunlei knew that Han Chuntao was usually reluctant to spend a penny, and finally saved ten yuan, how could she be asked to pay for the five yuan of wine and meat?

"But ......"

"Don't do it, the family has to spend money, no matter what, it won't be your turn to take private money to advance?"

couldn't help but say, Han Chunlei forcibly stuffed the five yuan from the big and small bills into Han Chuntao's hand, and said, "Sister, you will go back early after you finish buying things, I will go to the provincial capital to deal with those bamboo products this time, and it is estimated that I will not be able to come back in ten days and half a month." If there is anything going on at home, you should take care of it more. ”

Han Chuntao no longer pushed back and forth with Han Chunlei, and put the money away, seeing that Han Chunlei was leaving, he stopped talking, and finally grabbed his clothes and asked, "Brother, after you sell those things in the provincial capital, are you going to go south, and you don't plan to continue to stay in Chaijiawu?"

Han Chunlei nodded and replied, "Didn't you already know this, otherwise why would I borrow so much money from the village?"

"Eldest brother, in fact, we are living quite a peaceful life this day, why don't you toss anymore? You also stay in Chaijiawu steadily, no, if you want to think Chaijiawu is small, you can come to Changhe Commune." After a few years of marrying a daughter-in-law, you will be able to live in peace. "Han Chuntao has always had reservations about Han Chunlei going south to do the trick, this is not a matter of jelly beans for rags, a few villages next door, this is to take a green train across the province, too far, and too unsafe.

Han Chunlei raised his head, and then smiled at Han Chuntao: "Sister, the life I want, this era may not give me for the time being, but at least I can make myself comfortable......, isn't it?

Speaking of this, Han Chunlei paused, Han Chuntao obviously didn't understand the stalk of the two horse fathers, so he changed his words: "I just thought, can I make my quality of life better through a little effort, eat three meals a day, dress up more fashionably, and watch TV at night, how good is this? This kind of Buddhist and comfortable life has always been the life I want! It used to be, and I think it will be in the future!"

Don't look at Han Chunlei's rebirth in 1979, and he gradually adapted and integrated into this era, but he is still the post-90s Buddhist youth in his bones, if it weren't for the compulsion of life, he definitely didn't want to let himself live like he is now. Don't look at him now, he is hard enough and brave, everything stems from wanting to live a better life.

One day, he will be able to live the comfortable life he wants, and he can't guarantee that he will be able to do it as hard as he is now.

"Your mouth is full of big truths now, and my sister can't talk about you. ”

Han Chuntao was indeed very surprised that her younger brother, when did he become so able to speak? Opening her mouth is the change of the times, opening her mouth is policy and regulations, if she doesn't stay together every day to make sure that this is her brother, she really suspects that this is a fake and shoddy product in front of her.

"Alright, you can go in and buy something. Han Chunlei gently pushed the spring peach into the gate of the supply and marketing cooperative.

Han Chuntao entered the gate, suddenly stopped and turned around, looked at Han Chunlei, and finally instructed: "I should pay attention to safety in the provincial capital, go out, endure three points, let three points, be polite when I see people, and be kind in case of trouble, do you know?"

"Got it!"

Han Chunlei waved his hand, left quickly, and went straight to Cao Tianjiao's scrap yard.

At this time, Zhang Xilu estimated that he was already waiting for him early at Cao Tianjiao's place.

......

Sure enough, when he arrived at Cao Tianjiao's place, Zhang Xilu was already sitting in the courtyard smoking a cigarette with Erlang's legs crossed, chatting with Cao Tianjiao without saying a word.

As soon as Han Chunlei came in, he asked, "What are you talking about, talking so much?"

"Spring Thunder is coming?"

Cao Tianjiao smiled and stopped the work of sorting waste products in his hand, and said: "Zhang Xilu was saying just now, you have so many bamboo products, I don't know how to transport them into the provincial capital, such as mats, pillows, bamboo fans, these are okay, only two or three boxes, the key is those baskets and baskets, which are big and occupy space, he asked me to help find two big trucks and rent a trip to carry them directly into the provincial capital." ”

"Big card?" Han Chunlei looked at Zhang Xilu in surprise and said, "Even the big card is ready to be rented, Brother Xilu, your pattern is growing day by day!"

Zhang Xilu smiled bitterly: "Isn't this also a way? Good guy, I didn't expect that there are so many bamboo products with more than 200 yuan?

Cao Tianjiao said: "There is a way to rent a big card, although now the big cards are all public, but who doesn't bring some goods privately when they run the public house? The key is that renting a trip is expensive, just more than 200 pieces of bamboo products, not worth it!"

Han Chunlei nodded, this is a typical case of mismatch between the value of goods and the cost of transportation.

"How is that neat?" Zhang Xilu pinched the cigarette butt and spread his hands helplessly.

Han Chunlei shrugged his shoulders and said, "So what? Who told you that we have to bring goods with us when we enter the provincial capital this time?"

"Huh?"

"What do you mean?"

Cao Tianjiao and Zhang Xilu looked at him in unison.

Han Chunlei said: "I have already figured out how to deal with this batch of bamboo products, just bring a few samples, in this way, take a basket, and then put other bamboo products into the basket, we can bring these into the provincial capital, lightweight, convenient." ”

"What kind of routine are yours?" asked Zhang Xilu.

"Korean routines. ”

Han Chunlei made a joke, and then asked, "Are you familiar with the provincial city, Brother Xilu?"

"I'm not particularly familiar, I've been there a few times, but it's okay, I'll tell you, this Hangzhou city boss ......"

In order to prove the value of his existence, Zhang Xilu also had the extra five yuan, and he salivated to Han Chun and came to life.
