Since 1979 I have been in the tide of the times

Chapter 9
In the evening, Wang Haifu and Li Yufeng walked into the house rented by Wang Weidong.

Wang Haifu glared at his son, but Li Yufeng looked at his son resentfully as if his eyes were filled with tears.Without any discussion, the two used the tactics of confronting the enemy, one being hard and the other being soft, the other being a bad face and the other being a red face.

The two walked to the edge of the kang, bowed their heads and called Huang Guiying mother.

Huang Guiying lay on her side, her face facing the wall, completely ignoring the two of them.

"Look, you're mad at your grandma!" Wang Haifu said angrily.

"How could you do this!" Li Yufeng said bitterly.

This kind of usual method of parents to their children has no effect on Wang Weidong, he is simply indifferent.

"The great leader taught us - do it yourself, have enough food and clothing! Do you want me to lie at home and eat your food and drink your food, and get something for nothing?" Wang Weidong asked rhetorically.

Wang Haifu and Li Yufeng remained silent as if they hadn't heard Wang Weidong's question.

"In a few months, when the army is drafted in autumn, I will go to the factory's armed forces department, and I will send you to the army no matter what I say," Wang Haifu said.

In this era, being a soldier is something that young people are flocking to. Soldiers have a high social status, and more importantly, the country has to arrange jobs after retiring from the army.

"I won't go, I think selling vegetables is very good!" Wang Weidong replied.

"You mean that your father must let you take over after he retires?" Li Yufeng asked.

Huang Guiying, who was lying on the kang, opened her eyes wide in an instant. It turned out that she had wrongly blamed her precious grandson these two days. It turned out that Wang Weidong wanted to sell vegetables to force his father Wang Haifu to retire and let him take over.

If Wang Weidong is not allowed to take over, Wang Weidong will embarrass his parents!
"What's wrong with training in the army for a few years? After you come back, the factory will still arrange a job for you!" Wang Haifu asked.

"I won't go. I have had enough exercise in the vast world during the few years in the countryside. It is my brother who needs exercise." Wang Weidong replied.

"Your brother has never left home since he was a child and couldn't eat—" Li Yufeng felt that he had slipped his words when he said this.

For the next two hours, regardless of his father's stern reprimands and his mother's entreaties, Wang Weidong remained indifferent, and his determination to provide logistics services for the cadres and workers in the county was unwavering.

Wang Haifu and Li Yufeng left dejectedly. Huang Guiying wanted to get up from the kang, but her limbs were weak and she couldn't get up at all.

She has been on a hunger strike all day, and the old lady is dizzy and has no strength at all.

"Help me up quickly and cook for me, I'm starving to death!" Huang Guiying said.

When he got up the next day, Wang Weidong cooked and ate as usual, and then went out to pick up the food with a cart.

When he entered the vegetable market, he saw the old lady who had already reserved a seat for him and was waiting for him.

"Weidong!" Kong Lingguang also appeared carrying a basket of eggs.

Today he still has to squeeze around Wang Weidong and sell eggs to get Wang Weidong's details.

Wang Weidong nodded to him, then laid out a sack and poured the tomatoes from the old lady's basket on the sack.Every day for two or three cents, the old lady got up early and walked back and forth for more than ten miles.

Kong Lingguang was very enthusiastic and quickly helped Wang Weidong put vegetables on the sack.

Wang Weidong arranged two bricks to sit on and let Kong Lingguang sit on the other.

He handed Kong Lingguang a tomato, and he held a yellow tomato and looked at it.

In the memory of later generations, he also ate yellow tomatoes when he was a child, but then the yellow tomatoes gradually disappeared.What's even more regrettable is that the tomatoes are getting worse and worse.

Wang Weidong took a bite, and the tomato juice sprayed all over his clothes.

He didn't care and continued to eat with big mouthfuls.

Kong Lingguang said vaguely while eating: "Don't run away today, let's have a good meal, and buy an extra dish for your grandma when you leave."

"Okay, I invite you today!" Wang Weidong replied boldly.

He has a good impression of Kong Lingguang, a peer who can talk and make things happen.

Wang Weidong chatted with Kong Lingguang while selling vegetables.

After Kong Lingguang finished eating a tomato, he proudly picked up a tomato from the tomato pile and started to eat it.

After a while Kong Lingguang stood up and said, "Look at it for a while, I have to find a place to pee!"

It seems that two large tomatoes had an effect in his stomach.

Wang Weidong didn't care, and continued to sell vegetables.

Suddenly a skinny person stuck to his back.

Wang Weidong hurriedly turned his head and saw the old lady who had just sold his tomatoes standing behind him.

"Auntie, hasn't the money already been given to you?" Wang Weidong said.

"Boy, it's not about this! I've been waiting for a long time, you have to be careful with the egg seller, he is in the same group as the egg seller at the intersection! I saw the two of them talking and laughing together several times before. Laugh!" said the old lady.

Speaking of this, the old lady turned around and left, she was afraid that Kong Lingguang would see her and retaliate against her.

The so-called good people often mean that they are timid and fearful. It is not a big deal for one person to bully and dominate the market in the farmers market. If everyone stands up together, it means that the bad people are afraid of the good people.But since ancient times, there have been fewer and fewer good people to stand up, and everyone is waiting for others to stand up as good people.

The more you behave like this, the worse you will end up being a good person.

It is already very good for the old lady to report to Wang Weidong secretly like this. Other people in the market may not have noticed it, but they are all watching with cold eyes.

In their hearts, Qu Guochang, who fought with Wang Weidong to monopolize the egg business in the farmer's market that day, made them respect him even more.

The reason is very simple, only people who can hurt them can make them respect, and good people don't need respect, such people are fools who can throw away after use.

"It stinks!" Kong Lingguang said when he came back and sat on the brick.

The public toilets make people vomit, and those who go in have to close their eyes and hold their breath.

Wang Weidong looked sideways at Kong Lingguang's fat and honest face, his innocent smile and pure and innocent eyes.

Could it be that what the old lady said just now is true, the kid in front of him is in the same group as Qu Guochang, the scoundrel who monopolizes the egg business in the market.

"Weidong, you should bring an extra coat. It's cold in the morning, so you should wear more." Kong Lingguang said thoughtfully.

Wang Weidong's eyes became more and more hesitant, how could such a good young man be a bad guy?

He continued to sell vegetables, and the vegetables were almost sold out by noon, and he could take the rest home to eat with his grandma, and at most he would send some to the home of the landlord, Sun Youcai.

"Let's go to the restaurant!" Since he promised to invite Kong Lingguang to drink in the morning, he will honor it.

A piece of meat, a tofu mixed with shallots, it was already very sincere to invite people to drink in the 70s.

Kong Lingguang's eyes shine.He earned two yuan from Qu Guochang for nothing, but Wang Weidong bought him a drink instead.

He won't thank Wang Weidong for this, but admires his ability in his heart. Kong Lingguang can deceive everyone with just his mouth and face!
