The leisurely life of farmers in mountain villages

Chapter 96 Killing Two Birds With One Stone

The flavor of the New Year in the countryside is much stronger than that in the city. After Laba, the focus of every household has shifted to being busy for the New Year.

Buying new clothes, shopping for New Year’s goods, paying off bills, there are so many things that should be busy, and I didn’t finish my busy work until the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month.

On the [-]th morning of the twelfth lunar month, Wang Shaodong asked Zheng Hui and Zheng Tao to help him send chickens to Qishan. When he returned home, he found that his mother Zhao Shiling was alone in the house.After Wang Shaodong handed over the money to his mother, he went to Zheng Changyou's house and discussed with Zheng Changyou about applying for a driver's license.

When Wang Shaodong returned home from Zheng Changyou's house, it was already 02:30 in the afternoon, and his father hadn't come home yet.

At first he thought his father was in the chicken coop, but when he went into the chicken coop, he found that there was no one at all, so he asked his mother, Zhao Shiling, where his father had gone.

Zhao Shiling told Wang Shaodong that his father had gone to pay the debt.

By the end of the year, the Wang family owed a total of 13 yuan, of which [-] yuan was owed to the bank, and the other [-] yuan was borrowed from relatives and friends.

At the end of the year, if you have worked hard for a year and made money, if you do not pay back some debts, you will feel uneasy and feel uncomfortable this year.

Now the Wang family receives more than 8000 yuan a day, and the foreign debt of 3 yuan is really not worth mentioning.But because these accounts were lent to me by my closest relatives, when I went there a year ago, I had to get some gifts of melons, fruits, pears, dates, snacks and candies, and then the relatives would definitely serve wine again when I arrived at the relatives' house. Come on, if one family owes money, it will take one day to delay, and if six families owe money in total, it will take six days to delay.

After returning home, Wang Shaodong played games all afternoon, and when it was time for dinner, Wang Fumin came back drunk.

Today Wang Fumin went to Qingquanling Village. When his family built a chicken shed last year, they borrowed a total of 8000 yuan from Qingquanling Village, 2000 yuan for each uncle. In addition, Wang Shaodong's grandmother also lent them [-] yuan.

This can only be counted as one family. In addition, there are three thousand from the eldest aunt's family, three thousand from the second aunt's family, five thousand from the cousin's family in Tainan City, five thousand from the cousin's family of Wang Fumin's uncle's family, and the cousin of Wang Fumin's second uncle's family. My younger brother's [-] separates have to be delayed by a day.

Based on this calculation, if Wang Fumin pays off all the 3 yuan owed, it will be the eighteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, and he will rest for two days, and then it will be Xiaonian, and he will be even busier by that time.

Seeing his father came back, Wang Shaodong hurriedly discussed with his father about buying a box car.

After listening to his son Wang Shaodong's opinion, Wang Fumin frowned and asked Wang Shaodong: "Dongzi, if I buy a box of goods, I will save a lot of trouble in sending chickens to Qishan in the future. How much does that thing cost?"

"If you buy a new car, it will cost tens of thousands of yuan. If you buy a second-hand car, seven or eight thousand yuan will do."

"If there is a suitable second-hand car, buy one for you to drive first, and then buy you a new car when you are familiar with it."

"That's what I meant too."

Then Wang Fumin frowned: "But, where can I get a second-hand car? Besides, you must have a driver's license to drive. How can I get this driver's license?"

As soon as Wang Fumin finished speaking, he heard a cry from outside the gate.

"Is Brother Fumin at home?"

When Wang Shaodong heard it, he heard that it was Zheng Changyou who came. He stood up, looked at Zhao Shiling in doubt and asked, "Why is Changyou here?"

Wang Shaodong also quickly stood up: "Oh, by the way, Dad, I asked him how to deal with the driver's license at noon, and he seemed to come to tell me about the driver's license."

"Then invite him in quickly."

While talking, Wang Fumin and his son had already arrived at the gate.

"Hurry up, Changyou is here, Dongzi his mother, get some tea."

Wang Fumin took Zheng Changyou's hand and walked into the room.

And Wang Shaodong saw that two brothers, Zheng Hui and Zheng Tao, also came over together.

"Brother Dongzi, my dad asked my cousin. If you are in a hurry to apply for a certificate, give him 1000 yuan, and he can do it in a week."

It is now the thirteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, and it will only be the nineteenth day of the twelfth lunar month in a week's time. Wang Shaodong was already a little overjoyed to be able to get a driver's license in the first year.

However, where can I buy this second-hand car?
It was too cold outside, and everyone hurried into the house.

Wang Shaodong was so diligent that he poured tea for Zheng Changyou and his son, then Zheng Changyou looked at Wang Fumin and said, "Brother Fumin, Dongzi asked me what to do with my driver's license at noon. I have a relative in the vehicle management office. I I went over and asked. He said, if you need it urgently, give him 1000 yuan, and he can do it in the next week."

"Do you need a test?" Wang Shaodong asked.

"No exams, they have places inside."

Wang Shaodong nodded, then looked at Wang Fumin.

"1000 yuan is not too much, okay."

Then Wang Shaodong said again: "Dad, Zheng Hui and Zheng Tao will work with us in the future. It's the Chinese New Year, so let's show it. Let's give Uncle Zheng 3000 yuan and ask him to give it to his relatives." , and then directly ask him to apply for three certificates, and Zheng Hui and Zheng Tao will also apply for it together, and the three of us will be able to drive in the future, and the three of us will not be tired if we replace each other."

When Zhao Shiling heard her son's words, a nervous expression appeared on her face.However, Wang Fumin smiled, nodded and said, "Just listen to Dongzi."

Zheng Changyou was not prepared for this, so he stood up in fright and said, "How can this be done? How can this be done? So, like this, I, let me say, what am I talking about?"

"Uncle, don't get excited, uncle, sit down."

Wang Shaodong's mind was spinning, and suddenly he thought of an idea.

"By the way, Uncle, there is one more thing I need to trouble you to make another trip. Your relative is in the vehicle management office. He should be able to contact the second-hand car. Can you ask him to find out the price for my family? Suitable second-hand boxes, our family bought them for chickens."

If there are relatives of Zheng Changyou who personally help, this matter will definitely be much easier.Don't look at how the 2000 yuan helped Zheng Hui and Zheng Tao get a lot of driver's licenses. When the time comes, their relatives will contact them for a second-hand car at a suitable price, and they will all come back.Wang Shaodong had already figured out the deal. On the one hand, doing so would win over the hearts of the Zheng family, and on the other hand, it would definitely bring benefits. It was definitely a good idea to kill two birds with one stone.

"That's easy to talk about, but what you said just now is absolutely unacceptable."

Wang Fumin waved his hand, and said boldly: "Changyou, we are two brothers who grew up naked together, and your son and my son grew up together, so we should stop being outsiders. As for me, you must have heard of it, it’s not short of these few dollars, Dongzi his mother, quickly give Brother Changyou 3000 yuan.”

Zheng Changyou said that he didn't want the 3000 yuan, and then Wang Fumin and Wang Shaodong were sweating profusely. In the end, it was almost like a fight, so they forced the money to Zheng Changyou, and sent the three of them home.
