Back to 1980: Please Love Me Again

Chapter 16 Conflict
When we got back to the village, it was less than ten o'clock in the morning.

Walking to the entrance of the village, Zhao Wenmu first hung firecrackers on the crooked neck tree by the roadside, and lit a match.

The sound of crackling firecrackers quickly attracted the children playing nearby.

"Third nephew, what is being pulled on the bullock cart?"

A three or four-year-old doll asked in a childish voice.

Zhao Wenmu: ...

"Xiaobao, this is a sewing machine!"

The supply and marketing cooperative also sent a piece of red silk cloth to cover the sewing machine, which can be used as a dust cover at ordinary times.

"Third nephew, my mother said, you want to call me Second Uncle Xiaobao."

Okay, Second Uncle Xiaobao.

Zhao Wenmu ignored him.

He rolled his eyes and took out a piece of candy.

"Xiaobao, you call me third uncle, and I'll give you candy."

"not called!"

Zhao Wenmu took out another piece of candy.

The little guy began to hesitate.

Zhao Wenmu took out another piece of candy.

Just as the little guy was about to speak, an old lady came out from the side.

"Third nephew, what are you pulling on this car?"

Zhao Wenmu put the candy in Xiaobao's hand, took out another bag of candy, and distributed it to the children present.

"Fourth aunt, this is a sewing machine! My third brother bought a new sewing machine!"

Zhao Wenyuan couldn't hold back, he blushed and said loudly, looking more excited than buying a sewing machine himself.

"Hey, this is a sewing machine, let auntie see what it looks like!"

Most of the villagers have never seen a sewing machine, but soon this thing will enter thousands of households.

Zhao Wenmu didn't hide his secrets, he just wanted to let the villagers know that he bought a sewing machine.

So he uncovered the red silk openly.

A few more villagers gathered around.

A group of children were also shouting "sewing machine", "sewing machine"...

"it's beautiful!"

The villagers touched the shiny black body of the sewing machine, and sighed in admiration.

What the villagers touched were actually the legs of the machine, and the fuselage was inside the cover, so they couldn't see it now.

A group of people surrounded Zhao Wenmu and Zhao Wenyuan noisily, and followed them all the way to the door of Zhao Wenmu's house.

Zhao Wenmu took out several other firecrackers and lit them at the door.

After a crackling sound, the ground was covered with red confetti.

Listening to the movement on the mountain was from his own house, Zhao Jing also came down the mountain.

Seeing a large group of people gathered in front of her house, she hurried over.

After parting from the crowd, Zhao Jing walked into the yard.Everyone looked at her strangely along the way, and Zhao Jing felt a little nervous, not knowing what happened.

But I saw a table in the yard, and there was a pedal under the table.

It's a sewing machine!Although Zhao Jing didn't know it either.

But Zhao Wenmu has been telling her for the past few days that she wants to buy a three-turn one ring, and yesterday he said aggrievedly that he had got a sewing machine coupon, but he had no money to buy a sewing machine.

So she thought of it all at once, this is the sewing machine!
My whole heart jumped for joy.

She is also a little girl, how can she not like the sewing machine?

With a smile in his eyes, Zhao Wenmu reached out and took out a small wrench from under the sewing machine table. After twisting it, the cover in the middle of the table was lifted.

He took off the cover, installed it on the left side of the sewing machine table, took out the machine head, and restored the cover.

Then put the machine head in place and put on the belt.

Then a stool was moved and Zhao Jing sat down in front of the sewing machine.

He also taught Zhao Jing how to thread and adjust the size of stitches.

The small courtyard of Zhao Wenmu's house was full of people, and many of them were outside the courtyard, lying on the low courtyard wall and looking around.

In front of so many people, Zhao Jing seemed a little embarrassed, she kept her head lowered.

But when the pedal was stepped on, the sound of "da da da" sounded, and the needle and thread were quickly shuttled on the cotton cloth, Zhao Jing entered another state.

She is no longer shy and inferior, but has become confident and flamboyant.

It's as if what's in your hands is not a needle and thread, and what you're stepping on is not a pedal, it's the world she dominates.

She raised her head, with a bright smile on her face, the movements of her hands were smooth and natural, and the breeze blew through the fine hair on her forehead, revealing a small piece of birthmark. She didn't cover it with her hands like before, but shook her head naturally, as if Playing a beautiful piece of music.

A confident and lively aura pervaded her.

Zhao Wenmu was dumbfounded.

Until Zhao Jing stopped what she was doing, smiled and said to him:
"Little brother, thank you!"

Zhao Wenmu just woke up like a dream.

It turns out that his girl can still be like this!
He vowed to protect this smile!
Someone in the crowd also wanted to try the sewing machine, but Zhao Wenmu refused.

It's not that I hate the sewing machine.

It's something that my daughter-in-law doesn't have enough, how can I let others use it casually!

Under the envious eyes of everyone, Zhao Wenmu and Zhao Jing carried the sewing machine into the house, Zhao Jing carefully covered the red silk cloth, and couldn't help stroking it gently.

"Sister, if someone comes to borrow a sewing machine, just say that I don't allow it to be lent to others, and let them come to me with problems."

"Ok!"

Zhao Wenmu expected that someone would come to borrow a sewing machine.

There are always people who can't tell how much they weigh.

There is no need to offend Zhao Jing, she is a girl after all.

I am a notoriously problematic youth, who is not stingy, and I will go back to those who are not good-looking.

He also sat down and tried the sewing machine.

Well, sure enough, everyone who likes to shake their legs has a sewing machine in their hearts.

Seeing Zhao Wenmu turn on the sewing machine again, Zhao Jing immediately sat down and made some diapers for the little girl.

It's very easy to use and very enjoyable.

Zhao Wenmu was also distracted watching from the side.

The young couple forgot one thing.

The little girl is still on the mountain, being looked after by Zhao Zimeng and Zhao Ziting.

When Liu Xiumei came home with her little girl in her arms, the two of them thought of their precious daughter.

Zhao Jing hugged the little girl and kept apologizing to the little guy.

The little guy didn't understand, or maybe he understood but couldn't speak, so he grabbed his mother's finger and giggled.

"Erniu, you go back to the village in the afternoon and call your brother and Xu Peng. Wen Yuan, call Song Guanjun, Song Weixing, and Zhang Daming from Sanlizhuang."

During lunch, Zhao Wenmu confessed to Qian Erniu and Zhao Wenyuan.

These people are all his friends who played with him when he was young. They are different from those who tricked him into drinking and gambling with him. These people just like fishing for fish and shrimp, and they don't have those bad habits.

They were all mixed up with me in the previous life.

To put it bluntly, they are time-tested and proven loyal and reliable partners.

It's not a busy time for farming. There are many children in the family in this age, and these people have plenty of time to follow him.

When everyone arrived at the secret "stronghold" in the orchard, Zhao Wenmu said straight to the point:
"Are you interested in digging wild vegetables with me, and the wages are 3 yuan a day!"

He had already told Zhao Wenyuan and Qian Erniu in advance that he would raise their wages to 5 yuan.

From now on, these few people will be led by the two of them to work.

Then Zhao Wenmu explained in detail what exactly he was doing.

As soon as they heard that the daily wage was 3 yuan, several people were already excited. When they heard that the work was just digging and picking wild vegetables, several people couldn't believe it.

"Third brother, if you just dig wild vegetables, it's too much!"

"5 cents a day is enough!"

3 yuan ah, a month is 90 yuan!The wages of a serious worker in the city are less than 30 yuan!

"Do you trust me?"

"Third brother, we must believe you."

"Third brother, we all believe in you! We will do whatever you ask us to do, but 3 yuan is really too much."

Qian Daniu also blushed and said.

Among the group of people, Qian Daniu is the oldest and the most honest and honest.

"Brother Big Niu, if you trust me, you can collect money with peace of mind, and we will earn more in the future!"

"Okay, just listen to the third child!"

With Qian Daniu taking the lead, the others no longer struggled.

But they are just like Zhao Wenyuan and Qian Erniu in the beginning, they are all determined to work hard from morning to night.

Try to be worthy of the 3 yuan given by Zhao Wenmu!

It's great to have such a group of awesome friends!Why worry about the failure of the great cause!
Zhao Wenmu told them to act covertly. The threshold for the wild vegetable business is too low, and new competitors can easily enter.

Although he made up his mind to only do it for these two months, he didn't want Cheng Yaojin to come out halfway to compete with him for business.

At the same time, he let his own family act in a high-profile manner.

He also planned to stop being so low-key when it came to catching wild game.

After all, Li Ergou and Sun Guoqing were staring at him, so they had to throw some bait, otherwise how could the other party take the bait?

In the end who is the prey and who is the hunter, you have to fight to find out!

However, before Li Ergou and his gang took the bait, other troubles came to him first.

On this day, Zhao Wenmu and Zhao Wenyuan were selling wild vegetables in the courtyard of the glass factory.

A few young men in sleek clothes have been hovering nearby.

"Wen Yuan, play by ear later, don't strike too hard."

Zhao Wenmu had already noticed them, he lowered his voice and whispered to Zhao Wenyuan.

In his previous life, Zhao Wenmu was also a well-known street sneaker, so he naturally knew what these people were up to.Although he hadn't done anything similar, fighting was commonplace.

After rebirth, he felt that his physical fitness seemed to have improved a lot. He didn't know if it was because his physical fitness had improved, or because he now had a young body.

When the two finished selling their vegetables and closed the stall, several people gathered around.

"Do you know that this piece is covered by me just now! Remember to pay 3 yuan for the booth fee every day, so hurry up and bring it!"

The leading young man spoke with a very arrogant attitude.

There were three people standing next to him, one of them was shaking a stick in his hand.

Gangzi and the others were all children who grew up in this neighborhood. After dropping out of school, they were either unwilling to go to work steadily, or their factories didn’t want them at all, so they stayed away from their jobs all day long and did some sneaky things to make a living.

Zhao Wenmu saw the appearance of several people, and knew that they were all young boys who had never seen blood.

He glanced at Gangzi, and asked coldly:

"Are you sure you want money from me?"

Gangzi was intimidated by the murderous aura emanating from him. They usually steal a chicken from the Zhang family and pluck a few vegetables from the Li family. Seeing Zhao Wenmu and the others make a lot of money selling vegetables these two days, they feel itchy, but they don’t want to suffer. When I went to the countryside to dig wild vegetables, I thought of playing the autumn wind.

But I didn't expect to meet a hard stubble.

But things have come to this, and I can only bite the bullet and say:

"Yes, that is, 3 yuan, not much."

Zhao Wenmu didn't answer him, he suddenly stretched out his legs and kicked the young man standing next to him to the ground.

Then he picked up his wooden stick and greeted Gangzi's head.

Zhao Wenyuan also jumped up and rushed towards the other two.

Gangzi didn't expect Zhao Wenmu to attack suddenly, so he couldn't react in time, so he had to raise his hand to cover it.

Zhao Wenmu showed no mercy, the wooden stick in his hand broke, dropped the wooden stick, and raised his hand to continue beating.

Gangzi was lying on the ground, holding his head in his hands, wailing incessantly.

At this moment, he was terrified.

He felt that this person was going to beat him to death!

Of course Zhao Wenmu didn't think about killing Gangzi, the strength of his attack was under control, it looked like a storm, but in fact it was just a few flesh wounds at most.

Gangzi lay on the ground and howled, one of his little friends ran away, one was pressed down by Zhao Wenyuan, and the other hid not far away trembling.

Zhao Wenmu stood up, greeted Zhao Wenyuan, ignored Gangzi on the ground, and walked straight away.

He believed that Gangzi would not trouble him again.

Other people who are just about to move probably won't either.

Unexpectedly, even greater troubles followed.
