Rebirth started in 1987

Chapter 9 Chunlan Hotel
Ye Huai'an finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw a fish-sew white in the sky in the distance, and the outline of the county town emerged.

From the county to the city, there are still about 140 kilometers on the way. The only thing that makes Ye Huai'an feel at ease is that the road conditions from the county to the city are no longer dirt roads, and the worst is gravel roads, so you don't have to worry about the tires slipping or something.

The fastest speed of this old-fashioned walking tractor does not exceed [-] kilometers per hour. When it is full of goods, it is not bad to be able to reach an average of [-] kilometers per hour.

This is still running on a flat cement road, and there may be various unexpected situations along the way.

The second uncle said that once it rained, the tractor broke down three times, and seven or eight tons of steel were still being pulled on the truck. That time, he had to toss and turn on the road for four days before returning home.

Fortunately, my second uncle has been to the city many times, and he knows this trip well. The weather is not bad today, and if there are no accidents, he will definitely arrive in the evening.

After entering the county seat, the second uncle stopped the tractor, fiddled with it for more than ten minutes, added water, and the two of them started on the road again.

Passing the county road, Ye Huai'an saw the low houses and the narrow streets, and the memory in the back of his mind coincided with the reality again.

Thirty years later, the local house price was around 30, and I partnered with someone to build a piece of land in the east of the city and set up a real estate company called Wanshi Shenghao.

Thinking of this, Ye Huai'an made a self-deprecating smile, forget it, don't think about the past anymore.

On the concrete road, the vibration of the tractor was not as loud as before. Ye Huai'an took a deep breath, exhaled a breath of white air, slowly closed his eyes, and began to doze off.

Eight 90s running long distances is not a very happy thing. Let alone the road conditions are not as good as later generations. For drivers, personal safety is the first.

The second uncle said three times since he set off, telling him to pay attention to the situation on the side of the road. If he sees someone blocking the car or blocking the road, he must be notified in time.

Actually, there is no need for my second uncle to remind me of this, Ye Huai'an is clear in his heart, but he is not too nervous, he was not a good person in his previous life, otherwise he would not have been sentenced to life without term.

He has experienced more evil things than the crime of beating and killing.

In the eighties and 90s, there were as many car bandits and road tyrants as a cow's hair. In the era of barbaric growth, human life was like a mustard.

Fortunately, the weather was good today, and there were many vehicles running back and forth along the way, and nothing happened. In the drowsy state, the second uncle added diesel oil to the tractor once, and finally it was noon.

Passing through a township at noon, the two casually bought a few big steamed buns and settled them in the car. Ye Huai'an also bought a few bags at a grocery store, and prepared to use them to sell navel oranges.

The road went smoother than expected, and before five o'clock in the afternoon, they had already reached the outskirts of the city. Along the way, farmland and nearby factories were clearly visible.

At this moment, Ye Huai'an only felt extremely sore all over his body. After sitting on the tractor all day, he felt involuntary all over his body, as if he had been tortured for a day.

At this time of year, it was already dark after six o'clock in the evening, and it was definitely impossible to do business today.

The second uncle had been to the city many times, and he drove the tractor to an urban-rural fringe area, made seven turns and eight turns, and finally stopped in front of a courtyard of a private house in the village.

Ye Huai'an jumped out of the car, feeling numb in his feet, he shook his head a few times, looked up, and saw a half-new signboard in front of the house, which said "Chunlan Hotel".

Under the signboard is also written accommodation, providing breakfast, lunch and dinner.

The courtyard has a large area outside, and there are no vehicles parked there. The tractor covered with a rain cloth is parked on the edge of the courtyard, which is inconspicuous!

Hearing the sound of the tractor, a woman in her 1.5s or [-]s came out of the courtyard. This woman was about [-] meters tall.

The second uncle just parked the tractor, saw the woman, and quickly called out "Chunlan" in his native dialect!
When the woman named Chunlan saw that it was the second uncle, she beamed and greeted her with a voice like a kingfisher, sweet and greasy.

"Lijun is here. I haven't seen you here for more than half a year. I thought you got rich somewhere. Come on, let's go into the house. You're hungry. I'll get you a bowl of noodles!"

The second uncle led Ye Huai'an into the courtyard very familiarly, and shouted at Ye Huai'an.

"Your name is Aunt Chunlan. She is also from our place. She happened to be married here. She is still my elementary school classmate!"

The second uncle looked familiar, and briefly introduced the woman in front of him.

Ye Huai'an quickly called Aunt Chunlan, seeing this woman, he couldn't help but look at her a few more times.

Based on Ye Huai'an's many years of experience in his previous life, he knew that this woman was not simple.

It's not that this woman looks like a bad person, but a woman with a variety of styles, a sweet talk, and a woman who has been running a small hotel since 90. Can it be simple?

However, Xiao Chunlan was an acquaintance of the second uncle, and Ye Huai'an didn't want to ask more questions, so he followed the second uncle into the house.

A few years ago, when my second uncle came to work in the city, he stayed at Xiao Chunlan's house for dinner. In the early 80s, the village of Xiao Chunlan and his wife began to develop, and some factories were built, and the number of migrants increased. Then opened this small hotel.

Because it is my own yard, the place is a bit remote and not on the main road, so the business is naturally not like that on the street. Xiao Chunlan usually takes care of it. Her husband opened a bicycle repair shop next to the nearby factory, although he is not rich. Expensive, but it can be regarded as an extra income.

In the 80s and [-]s, girls in rural areas generally married people who lived in a radius of ten miles and eight towns, and rarely married three hundred miles away.

It is also a joy to meet a fellow countryman in other places. When a fellow countryman sees a fellow countryman, his eyes are full of tears, which is this era.

Only after the 90s, more people went out to work, and when there were more people, many people's thinking changed, and some people specifically attacked the villagers.

This also led to the proverb that when a fellow countryman sees a fellow countryman, he will stab him in the back.

The second uncle had already made preparations, and took out a bag of navel oranges that had been prepared for a long time from the back of the truck. He carried them into the house with a smile, and Xiao Chunlan took them with a smile. The navel orange also had some obvious surprises on its face.

Indeed, even though the distance is only about three hundred miles, in the 80s, it is normal not to return to her natal home for a few years. The water splashed by a married woman is not a joke, not to mention that Xiao Chunlan herself has special reasons , has not been back to her mother's house for almost ten years.

Xiao Chunlan was really happy to be able to taste the taste of her hometown in the city, and quickly asked the two to sit down. While she went to the kitchen to cook, she smiled and asked the second uncle's purpose for coming to the city this time.

Knowing that the two uncles came to the city to sell navel oranges, Xiao Chunlan repeatedly praised the second uncle for his flexibility.

Xiao Chunlan came from the countryside, so she naturally knew that the navel oranges in her hometown were worthless, but it never occurred to her to bring oranges from her hometown to the city for sale.

Although she was happy to be able to eat the navel oranges from her hometown, Xiao Chunlan never thought about how much the navel oranges could sell for.

Ye Huai'an saw that his second uncle was chatting happily with this Xiao Chunlan, saying everything out, and suddenly had an idea in his mind that he must talk to his second uncle about this tomorrow.

If he had known that his second uncle would stay here in his hometown, he would rather let his second uncle go to another hotel to rest.

There is a saying that money should not be exposed, especially in the business of selling navel oranges, Ye Huai'an is confident that he can make money from this.

Relying on the lack of information, maybe in the next two or three years, the second uncle can earn this unique quick money. I dare not say that I earn too much. It is easy to earn 2 to [-] yuan a year by reselling during the two months of the Chinese New Year. .

But once this matter is known to too many people, maybe this business will not be able to be done next year.

If more people know about it, the purchase price will increase and more people will sell it, the retail price will also have to decrease, and the profit margin will naturally decrease.

What's more, there are too many people and competition, and the profit is still small, so it's meaningless to work hard.

Seeing that the second uncle and Xiao Chunlan were all grinning while chatting, Ye Huai'an reckoned that if he didn't say hello, the second uncle would explain everything clearly tomorrow.

Soon Xiao Chunlan came up with two bowls of noodles. Seeing the steaming hot noodles, Ye Huai'an was also hungry. He picked up the noodle bowl and started to eat it. In the end, he drank all the soup and felt warm in his stomach. It was warm, so I put down the bowl contentedly.

Ye Huai'an didn't bother about paying for accommodation and meals, and the second uncle didn't seem to plan to give money, maybe he would give it when he left.

From entering the store to eating the bowl of noodles, Ye Huai'an didn't see any other customers coming downstairs to eat, Xiao Chunlan smiled and chatted with her second uncle.

Ye Huai'an only felt that Xiao Chunlan was overjoyed seeing her second uncle's arrival, and the smile on her face never stopped.

The second uncle didn't have any defenses against this woman, the two chatted very vigorously, and were thinking about it, suddenly, there was a sound of a horn outside the shop, and when she heard the sound of the horn, the smile on Xiao Chunlan's face froze, she hurriedly said and went out up.
