Riding the wind of rebirth

Chapter 43 Balloons
This side has been busy all the time. When it was dawn, Sun Damao's Huosanlun also came to the shipyard and shouted outside: "Zhao San! Elbow!"

Zhou Zhi and Master Qiao came out with a few piles of floating balloons, and carefully climbed to sit next to Huosanlun: "Brother Big Mao, let's go, take us around the city, and pick up people by the way."

During the Spring Festival in the county town, there are only a few places with dense crowds, such as the Baihuating intersection outside Zhou Zhi's house, the North Gate Wharf, and the New Highway Wharf.

There is also the intersection of the bus station towards Anle Mountain, which leads to the Martyrs Cemetery. Now the plum blossoms are in full bloom and there is a garden party.

He received Yang He at the Xinlu Road Wharf. Before Yang He could thank him, Zhou Zhi gave him an iron ring with a bunch of balloons floating on it.

He also gave him some small change: "The big one is one yuan and fifty cents, the small one is fifty cents, and the middle one is one yuan. But if you need a little work, you can negotiate the price for one or two cents."

No one got out of the car, Zhou Zhi hurriedly patted the hood after explaining, "Brother Big Mao, hurry up!"

Leaving Yang He with a dazed look on his face, he saw Wei Feifei and his brother in front of the bus station again.

After distributing the balloons to the two of them, he told them again what he had explained to Yang He: "The plane is here, my sister goes outside the Martyrs Cemetery. If the plane can't be sold here, go to the Martyrs Cemetery to meet my sister."

Next, Master Qiao guards the Hongshuihe Bridge, and Zhou Zhi guards the Baihua Pavilion.

I told everyone that if it is sold out, I will go to the shipyard to find Zhao San, but my sister can't go, and I only let the plane go, then I am a rascal.

When Mom and Dad went out with their grandmother, Guan Tingting's family upstairs was also going out, and the two met at the stairs.

On Guan Tingting's head was a "ring bun" that only ancient ladies could have. It is estimated that only Guan's mother could come to Jiachuan.

"Oh, Tingting looks just like the lady in the painting!"

Miss is still good at words these days, and grandma praised her like this: "It's so beautiful!"

Guan Dabin and Guan's mother also said hello to grandma. Guan Dabin took his mother's hand and helped grandma go downstairs.

Helping grandma into the wheelchair, Guan Tingting yelled, "I'll push, I'll push!"

Guan Tingting also loves to play at Zhou Zhi's house all the time. Her relationship with Zhou Zhi is like the relationship between Zhou Zhi and Little Sixth Sister.

Now the Sichuan Opera Troupe is still rehearsing, and Guan Dabin often travels on business. Whenever this happens, Guan Tingting is taken care of by his mother.

This is the same as when my parents were busy, they would hand over Zhou Zhi to Uncle Yu's downstairs and let Miss Liu take care of her.

Such a neighborhood relationship is simply unimaginable for future generations.

Of course, this is also related to the poor mobility of personnel now, and everyone knows each other well, so that's another story.

"Be careful." Guan's mother quickly grabbed onto the handle of the wheelchair, and together with her mother, she held Guan Tingting and pushed her outside.

The two went shopping together, so the father stopped pushing the grandmother, and chatted with Guan Dabin in front of him with his hands behind his back.

Men in Jiachuan like to pretend to be reckless in front of outsiders, but in fact they want to cover up, and they have long exposed their "ear-scraping" attributes.

People in the county town who were going out on the first day of junior high school had already gone out. The dormitory of the sugar and wine company was not far from the Baihua Pavilion. Guan Tingting saw Zhou Zhi standing there with iron rings on his elbows, busy dealing with the surroundings. child.

"Brother Zhou Zhi is there!" Guan Tingting shouted, "What is that?"

The helium balloons floating in the air are live advertisements. Zhou Zhi has sold well here, and he has already sold a dozen of them in just a short while.

Children have New Year's Eve, even the biggest red balloon is only the price of a meal of bean curd rice.

Buying a child on New Year's Day is elated, and most adults in the family are also happy.

Mom didn't care how much Zhou Zhi paid for this job, seeing that everyone was happy with the purchase, she said directly, "Zhou Zhi, get one for Tingting, the biggest one."

"Grandma is here? Grandma, I wish you New Year's greetings!" Zhou Zhi said hello to grandma while busy looking for change to untie the balloon.

Guan Tingting suddenly felt that shopping was not good anymore, pushing a wheelchair was not good anymore, and even getting balloons was not good anymore.

Holding Zhou Zhi's arm: "I don't want balloons! I want to sell balloons with brother Zhou Zhi!"

"We agreed to go to the martyrs cemetery to take pictures!" Mama Guan felt that it was a pity that the effort of pulling her hair in the morning was wasted: "Don't delay brother Zhou Zhi's business."

Zhou Zhi hurriedly said, "Tingting is good, let's go take pictures with mom and dad. Brother, I'm just trying something out today. If you like it, come and help me tomorrow. It's going to be sold for two more days."

"That's all right, don't play tricks!"

"Don't lie!"

"Then I want the biggest one!" The balloon smelled delicious again.

Zhou Zhi quickly untied a big red balloon and wrapped it around the button of Guan Tingting's clothes: "Tingting must give the biggest one!"

The little girl was happy now, and she turned her head after walking a long distance: "Tomorrow has been agreed! What time will it be tomorrow?"

Zhou Zhi had no choice but to shout, "You woke up and came here to find me!"

At three o'clock in the afternoon, work was over collectively, and everyone gathered at Zhouzhi's home.

When the young lady handed over the money, her hands were shaking.

Wei Yi participated in this matter for the purpose of "slacking off" for Wei Fei. He never thought about making money at all, but now he feels that this is really a glorious and great career.

Today, I counted that she sold a lot, she was beautiful and the port was good, so Wei Fei went to Zhao San's place twice, and sold a total of seventy or eighty.

There are thirty or forty others left.

Basically, there is no need to consider the cost. On the first day, I made a total of more than 200 yuan.

Zhou Zhi collected the money and left some change to distribute to several people.

After everyone collected the money, Zhou Zhi distributed three yuan to each of them: "This is our breakfast tomorrow."

Now everyone is happier, and the benefits can be realized immediately.

"Today, these are just for everyone to try their hands. Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow will be the real test. Judging from today's situation, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, my sister will definitely not be able to support her, so she has to add more people."

Zhou Zhi said to Master Qiao, "You also go to the Martyrs Cemetery tomorrow and listen to my sister's instructions."

"I listened to her?" Master Qiao was still a little proud.

"My sister is a top student from outside Sichuan, and an outstanding college student in Yuzhou City."

"Oh." Master Qiao immediately became honest.

"That's it, let's continue tomorrow!"

After everyone had left, Zhou Zhi said to Yang He, "Monk, come with me to Zaoling Bridge, and we have to bring some reinforcements."

This rescuer is He Dayong. He will need a lot of balloons tomorrow, and he will have to add more people to fill the balloons.

When Zhou Zhi and Yang He arrived at the eldest aunt's house, He Dayong immediately felt that this year would be smooth, because God had heard his prayer and sent him rescuers.

Only then did he ask his cousin to go to Zhao San's place for a favor, but before the aunt could say anything, He Dayong yelled "I want it" and rushed out of the room.

Such a positive attitude made Zhou Zhi feel a little unsteady, so he rushed to the door and shouted, "Brother Dayong! It's really serious!"

He Dayong has already run out of the courtyard, only heard his voice but not seen him: "Got it—"

Only then did Zhou Zhi turn his head around, and answer the aunt's question in an embarrassing manner.

After listening to Zhou Zhi's business introduction, Auntie breathed a sigh of relief: "Dayong has many problems, but as long as he agrees to other people's affairs, he will take care of them. It won't delay your important affairs."

"It's not a big deal for me." Zhou Zhi comforted my aunt again: "After the fourth year of junior high school, I will tie it up for you, auntie."

The Spring Festival meal is also a headache. All relatives and friends must inquire in advance and make plans in advance. They must arrange the time for eating "transfer seats" and do not conflict with each other.

Fortunately, "[-]th is not a new year", so arrangements can be made during this time. It is also the habit of Zhou Zhi's family not to invite guests at thirty nights. After thirty, they will be ready to change seats.

The arrangement of the aunt's house is the fourth day of junior high school. The old Zhou's family is thin, and all the neighbors are invited.

After leaving the aunt's house, Zhou Zhi took Yang He to the shipyard and supervised Zhao San to teach Dayong how to fill balloons.

Zhao San is already familiar with it, acting like a master, he was beaten by Brother Dayong in a few words, and Zhao San had to continue teaching aggrievedly after beating him.

Well, that's fine.

In the second year of junior high school, people in the county went out a lot, including those who went to the city to visit relatives in the suburbs of the city. In a small Chengguan town, it can be said that there are huge crowds of people.

Today's martyrs' cemetery is equivalent to the function of the park of later generations, where there are grasslands, plum blossoms, pavilions, and it is also a large gathering place.

The county held a garden party there, with simple recreational activities such as playing lantern riddles, clipping glass beads, and throwing circles, as well as small prizes to receive, which was very lively.

These things are also in charge of the godfather, and he is so busy that his forehead is sweating.

Inadvertently raised his head, and found that his son was accompanied by a beautiful and delicate little girl, with that expression...

There is an attempt to be close in the dullness, and a humble hope in the cramped, as if a bowl of fat chicken soup just out of the pot suddenly appears in front of you when you are so hungry, you want to drink it right away, but you are afraid of burning your mouth...

The godfather doesn't know yet, there is a very appropriate term in later generations, which can perfectly describe the current Master Qiao - licking the dog.

What's the matter with this Nima? !Our little chick is about to start crowing! ?
Hurry up and bow your head, you can't let this kid find out, you have to continue to observe secretly!

But that little girl is so handsome...

When godfather raised his head to take another look, he had no chance.

Except for a large pile of colorful balloons, my son, the girl, and the little kid beside the girl were already surrounded by the crowd.

Zhou Zhi's situation here is not much better, and he also has a small follower by his side.

When Guan Tingting was sleeping last night, she carefully protected the bun her mother made for herself. Now the two circles on her head are still sticking out.

On his waist is a pocket that is still very rare now, with the words "Guangzhou" printed in white paint on it, marking his extraordinary origin.

It was brought back by Guan Dabin from his business trip in Guangzhou.

If Wei Yi is beautiful, then Guan Tingting is delicate and glamorous. The voice she practiced singing since she was a child is crisp and pleasant, which can no longer be described as generous. She is very novel and excited about the way of peddling, attracting a lot of people every minute.

One was in charge of hawking for change, and the other was in charge of collecting money for things. Zhou Zhi and Guan Tingting cooperated very well. At the end of the day, their performance was on par with that of Miss Wei Yi.
