National Tide 1980.

Chapter 448 Five blessings are blessed
Sun Wufu is a simple-minded and honest person, probably because of this he is particularly easy to be satisfied.

It's like after experiencing this catastrophe, he has already developed a fear of selling goods on the "ghost market".

I don't even want to make easy money like this anymore.

On the contrary, he renews his longing for the life of relying on strength for food in the past.

For this reason, Sun Wufu kept nagging Ning Weimin, saying that he only now knew that the "ghost market" was not good.

Not only do they have to grind their mouths with buyers every day and negotiate the price.

And once you get caught, you will spend many days in vain.

Fortunately, most of the money was in Xu Lao Liu's body this time, and he only had less than five yuan in change, so the loss was relatively small.

But even so, all the things they collected for a small hundred were wiped out.

If Ning Weimin hadn't saved him and fined him another hundred, he would definitely not be able to eat meat this month.

It can only be said that he shouldn't be jealous of Xu Lao Liu from the very beginning.

No matter how much people earn from running "ghost markets", that is their ability.

A native dog is a native dog, and a wolf dog is a wolf dog. Whoever eats what food is arranged by God long ago.

After sighing, Sun Wufu made a very solemn decision, saying that he should only go to the street to receive goods from now on.

As long as he can earn two dollars a day...not two dollars and a half, he is willing to do this.

With fifty cents for food, I can save two yuan a day, which can already catch up with a worker's salary, which is quite good.

In addition, in addition to making the above reflections, Sun Wufu also begged Ning Weimin to go back to Yuyuantan Park with him to prove it.

He hoped to use this to let Xu Laoliu know that he was worthy of his friends.

When the inspection team ransacked the city, he really wanted to protect the property of the two of them.

It's a pity that there are too many people wearing red hoops, and it's really hard to protect him. He definitely wasn't just confiscated casually.

And as a reward, he said that he could invite Ning Weimin to eat noodles later, the kind of greasy sliced ​​noodles with meat and glutinous rice...

Probably thought of how delicious it was.

Sun Wufu couldn't help but licked his lips, showing a simple and childish greedy look.

Needless to say, Ning Weimin certainly felt that Sun Wufu in this appearance was quite ridiculous.

But at the same time, he also felt that Sun Wufu's humorous character was a bit pitiful and distressing.

This kid always thinks of the best of others, and is willing to take the initiative to think of others, but how does he know that most people don't regard him as a friend.

In fact, he doesn't need to do that at all.

"Wufu, what is the price of copper at the scrap yard now? Do you know?"

Ning Weimin's heart suddenly moved, and he couldn't help asking a sensitive question.

Sun Wufu didn't expect the topic to be diverted so far all of a sudden, and he couldn't help being stunned when he was asked.

"It's still the original price. Yellow miscellaneous copper is [-] yuan, and red miscellaneous copper is [-] yuan..."

Hearing what he said, Ning Weimin couldn't help sighing.

"Oh, it seems you now know that there is a difference in copper. So you...you don't hate me?"

Sun Wufu was silent, and a complicated look suddenly appeared on his face.

For a brief moment, he bowed his head.

But soon, he suddenly raised his head again.

"To tell you the truth... I used to... I blamed you before, but then I thought about it. The scrap yard we often go to is even more black-hearted. Instead of taking advantage of those bastards, it's better to let you take advantage."

"After all, you still run errands and buy things for everyone, and you often carry a deficit. I know, 'General' they always bully you, and you have no choice. Right? And to be honest, if it weren't for you, I still wouldn't have a watch strap Woolen cloth."

With that said, Sun Wufu raised his wrist again, and showed Ning Weimin the watch that Ning Weimin had sold to him.

He didn't know that it was actually an old watch that had been refurbished, and it was also evidence that he had been cheated.

"Look, look, this watch is still going well. I think of your benefits. Don't look at the 'general' and they scold you almost every day, but I haven't scolded you, really..."

Sun Wufu was so frank and open-minded, on the contrary, Ning Weimin didn't know how to react.

The person in front of him was at the absolute bottom of society.

He doesn't have too many expectations for life, and lives a much more humiliating life than most people, and is often bullied and deceived by his peers.

But even so, Sun Wufu is still a man of sincerity.

Not only can adhere to a certain moral integrity, but also maintain optimism and enthusiasm for life.

Back then at the Dongjiao garbage dump, anyone who asked him to bring things would pay less, only Sun Wufu would not.

This couldn't help but touch him, and he sighed in his heart.

"Okay, I'll go to Yuyuantan with you. Anyway, Xu Laoliu and I haven't seen each other for a long time. Since we are acquaintances, let's sit and chat together. However, you don't need to invite me to meet. I will treat you to a restaurant at noon. Who made me mix better."

The words have already reached this point.

Ning Weimin felt that it would be a little guilty if he did not meet such a small request of Sun Wufu.

What's more, he still wanted to ask Xu Lao Liu to see if they still had any good things in their hands, so that they could do straight-line transactions in the future.

"That's a good thing. I know you are a good person when you buy it!"

Zhao Wufu was immediately happy, and not only sent Ning Weimin a good person card, but also made up a few words.

"Then...then I won't be polite. Who made me get punished? I'll ask Mr. Xu for money later, and he'll definitely scold me again when he goes back. You invite us first, and we'll invite you next time. Anyway, I had this meal today. Let’s even offset the difference in the price of brass and copper, and we’ll settle the matter later.”

Ning Weimin shook his head inwardly, and could only answer him with a smile.

"Okay, you have the final say."

But what I didn't expect was that when the two returned to the gate of Yuyuantan Park, there was no sign of Xu Laoliu.

Even after wandering around for half an hour, there was still nothing.

So gradually, Ning Weimin came to a realization.

Especially when he asked Sun Wufu and knew that he and Xu Laoliu both had the keys to their residence.

Moreover, after keeping each other's valuables, and not shying away from each other, he had a premonition of an unfortunate result.

It's just that I'm embarrassed to break it with Sun Wufu.

I was afraid to tell him that he could not accept such a cruel reality.

For this reason, I can only urge Sun Wufu to go back to the place where I live, hoping that bad luck will not really come.

But Murphy's Law still applies.

The temporary residence of Sun Wufu and Xu Laoliu is an abandoned barn in Balizhuang in the western suburbs.

Ning Weimin followed Sun Wufu, and as soon as he walked into the yard of the barn, he could see all kinds of messy things collected.

Broken shoes, leaking pots, all kinds of miscellaneous iron, waste paper, and old and broken furniture...

But the two tricycles that should have been locked to the tree outside the barn door were gone.

And on the barn door, the big rusty padlock was also opened, and it was thrown on the ground.

Sun Wufu yelled Xu Laoliu's name, pushed the door hastily and rushed in.

As a result, before Ning Weimin followed in, Sun Wufu rushed out again and ran all the way to the gate of the yard.

He yelled at Xu Lao Liu like howling ghosts and howling wolves.

Ning Weimin took a look into the barn, and saw that the room was quite messy, and he heard Sun Wufu swearing.

He easily made an almost inseparable judgment, which verified the result he had already expected.

Xu Lao Liu ran away!

This guy must be hiding somewhere, seeing Sun Wufu being taken away by the industrial and commercial inspection team.

Neither willing to come forward to save him, but also worried about being betrayed by him.

That's why I ran back to my old nest in a hurry, and took away all the valuables in the barn without doing anything!

In addition to all the savings of Xu Laoliu himself and Sun Wufu.

There should be some things that are easy to take away and can be sold on the "ghost market".

There are even more than ten kilograms of scrap copper, and two tricycles.

Needless to say, Sun Wufu's friendship and trust have been completely betrayed once again.

He probably never thought that Xu Lao Liu would have such a scheming anyway.

So at this moment, his world should be a vast expanse of whiteness, almost completely dead.

So much so that he regarded the road under his feet as a cotton pile, and he really fell several times.

Then the cursing stopped, and he sat at the gate of the courtyard as if he was stupid, looking at the east and west roads, and remained motionless.

However, his mouth was like a faucet that couldn't be turned off, and a sentence was still flowing endlessly.

"He ran away, he ran away, he ran away..."

If Ning Weimin hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that it would be so scary when a person repeats a simple sentence endlessly.

He could clearly see that Sun Wufu's state was not right, he could be said to be like a grave cryer, sitting alone in a mess.

This undoubtedly indicates a collapse of spirit and belief.

Ning Weimin couldn't do nothing about this, so he hurried over and patted Sun Wufu on the shoulder.

Then he helped Sun Wufu up from the cold ground.

Mouth to comfort him at the same time.

"Wu Fu, please order. Xu Laoliu is not authentic, but long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. It is better to recognize his face early than to be tricked by him in the future. It's okay, why don't you just lose some money! Let's earn more and we'll be done." ! I will pay you the capital!"

Just these warm words finally warmed Sun Wufu's heart.

Hot tears gushed uncontrollably from his eye sockets, and big drops hit his feet.

…………

Half an hour later, Ning Weimin sat with Sun Wufu in a nearby noodle restaurant.

Ning Weimin originally wanted to treat guests and take Sun Wufu to eat something good, but the area around Balizhuang in the western suburbs was too desolate.

There was no other way, he had no choice but to follow Sun Wufu's wishes and go to the noodle restaurant that this kid frequented that didn't even have a name.

The environment here is definitely not hygienic and clean, so Ning Weimin couldn't eat noodles at all.

Sun Wufu was not stingy with that, he had completely turned his grief and indignation into appetite.

Once he ate it, he couldn't stop. He actually ate four big bowls including Ning Weimin's bowl.

And the one who ate was uneasy.

After a while, I called, "Hey, some spicy peppers! Why is there no spicy pepper in the pepper jar?"

After a while, he shouted again, "Garlic, why is there no garlic, let's have another lump of garlic!"

He kept pushing the noodles into his mouth until his tongue couldn't move them and shouted, "Two bowls of noodle soup!"

It wasn't until the meal was over that the kid felt a little embarrassed.

He burped, wiped the sweat from his brow and said, "Purchase, am I too good to eat? You don't want to eat at all, why don't you think the noodles don't taste good?"

"What's wrong? I thought you'd never eaten in your life!"

Ning Weimin laughed that way.

"By the way, let me discuss something with you. Where to eat in the future, can you not squat on the stool, don't smack your lips, don't speak so loudly, and don't swallow the noodle soup in your mouth! And don't eat any more. Tell me to purchase, and I will call Manager Ning in the future."

Sun Wufu froze all of a sudden, "I just...did you embarrass me? Then you...will you still help me?"

"Help, these are two different things."

Ning Weimin held back his smile, and said seriously, "I'm teaching you, not to dislike you, but for your own good. Since you are in the city, no matter what you do, you should try to act like a city resident so that you can deal with others. Right? This is called doing as the Romans do.”

He paused, and then said, "As for how to help, you can choose yourself. The first one, you still do it yourself. If you need capital, I have almost 500 yuan on me, and I can give it to you. When do you have something? Pay me back when time is right. Or if you collect the things that can be bought in the ghost market, let me see first, and we can offset them with things."

"The other one. You might as well deal with all the things here, and then follow me. From now on, I will cover all your food, drink, and housing. But from now on, where do you collect things and where do you sell them? How to collect things, you have to listen to me. I can guarantee you to earn at least 100 yuan a month. And only more, no less, no longer have to worry about selling things being copied..."

Before he finished speaking, Sun Wufu made up his mind.

"I listened to you, and I did it with you. Others always said that my name was bad, and it sounded like I was not blessed. I still thought that my name was good, and I was blessed. How could I meet you today? You It's my nobleman, it doesn't need to be a hundred, since I take care of my food and lodging, it's fine to give me sixty. Is that okay? Purchasing..."

Ning Weimin frowned upon hearing this.

"Why do you still call me this? Forget what we said just now?"

Sun Wufu was taken aback for a moment, and immediately changed his words.

"I'm sorry, I... I forgot... Ning... Manager Ning!"

"That's right. That's what it's called. Sixty is too little, let's make it a hundred, lest you will regret it when you open the drawer later..."

Sun Wufu immediately patted his chest, full of enthusiasm.

"No, no, I will never regret it. You saved me. Then if I regret it again, who am I? And I told you a long time ago, I am content with sixty. Just sixty! We can't talk. !"

Then he hesitated again.

"If not, sixty will be fixed for one year. Later, it will depend on the situation... Also, you are in charge of the food... How many days will you eat meat? It's really not possible, just the sliced ​​​​noodles with meat..."

Ning Weimin was really amused now.

He said in his heart, this man, after all, no one is stupid.

And what name to choose, it seems that it is really important.
