Take Arada back to the past

Chapter 79, Confused Yang Xiaogang

"Teacher Luo!"

Luo Jinping stopped when he heard the voice, and turned his head strangely: "What's wrong?"

Yang Xiaole came to the front and hurriedly said: "Well, Mr. Luo, my brother will go to the city tomorrow, and I will go there too. I will ask you for leave!"

Luo Jinping frowned, and finally nodded slightly.

"Okay, I see. By the way, the notification was originally made tomorrow. If you don't come, I will tell you in advance. The higher-ups have notified that in order to cooperate with the commune to complete the task, starting next week, everyone in the school will go to the river during the day. Study in the classroom at night, and sleep at school. Of course, you have to bring kerosene lamps, and the school will provide food and kerosene lamps. Go home once a week, and you will go home this week to prepare. Make it clear to your family. "

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole frowned: "Everyone? First grade too?"

"Yes, first grade too!"

"Where do you sleep then?"

Hearing his inquiry, Luo Jinping sighed, "Sleep in the classroom first, men and women sleep separately."

Yang Xiaole thought for a while, and finally nodded: "Okay, I understand."

The production team probably knew about it.

After asking for leave, he hurried to the school gate.

When he arrived at the place, Xizi and Xiaoli were already waiting for him there.

Xizi said to him excitedly: "Brother, brother, the teacher said, let us live on campus, and we will be like you from now on, going to the river during the day and studying at night."

Yang Xiaole glanced at him and smiled: "Remember not to cry in the future!"

"Why are you crying! What fun!"

Yang Xiaole ignored him, and rushed home with the two little guys.

When I got home at night, my eldest brother was already at home.

"Brother, come back!"

Yang Xiaole came in and said hello to the eldest brother who was sitting there.

"Well, I just came back not long ago, let's eat!"

Yang Xiaogang gestured to several people, and there was still corn and potato porridge on the table.

The three of Yang Xiaole naturally started eating directly.

While eating, he asked, "Brother, when are you leaving? Tomorrow morning, or at night?"

Wang Qiuju came out with a package in her hand: "I'm going to let him leave in a while. I can't delay your brother's job search. What if I go late? I don't know the way when I enter the city!"

Yang Xiaole said with a smile: "Mother, I'll take him there. Didn't uncle see me in the city last time? Have you forgotten? I've been there before. It's quite confusing."

It's really quite roundabout, from west to east, and you have to go to the suburbs.

It's been said several times these days.

But my old lady disagreed.

He is also holding back his big move!
"Where are you going? You are not in good health, how come back? Don't you have class tomorrow?"

Yang Xiaole shrugged when she heard the words: "I told Teacher Luo that I might not go to class tomorrow. Besides, didn't we go to the city to sell things together last time? This time we should go together and come back together! Forget it , mother, if you don’t let me go, forget it.”

"Going to sell things again?"

When Wang Qiuju heard this, she felt itchy in her heart!
I lost 8 yuan these days!
It's only a few days.

Can she not feel bad?

"That's right! I haven't been there for a few days this time, and it seems that I got a lot of good things. Forget it, if you don't go, don't go! At worst, let them sell something and cook some delicious food for me when they come back."

Yang Xiaole could only pretend to sigh helplessly.

If you still don't agree to this, then forget it, wait a few days and look again, anyway, you will live on campus by then.

Wang Qiuju thought for a while, but still felt uneasy.

The child is still too young.

"Forget it, don't go, your elder brother will be able to get his salary back when he goes to the city in the future, don't take risks, what if something happens? If you catch you, you won't be able to run away from them."

Yang Xiaole knew that the old lady was actually very moved.

Eight yuan a week is 32 yuan a month, which is higher than the wages of ordinary people in the city. Can you not be tempted?

Probably worried about his own safety.

Thinking of this, he made a final test: "Mom, don't worry, every time they sell something, they worry about being caught, and they tell me to hide away, afraid that I won't be able to escape, but it's actually not that dangerous. I just go with it." trip.

Besides, it’s okay to let me go to uncle’s house to play, right?When I went, I went with my elder brother, and when I came back, I asked my elder brother to send me to the car. Is this all right? "

Hearing this, Wang Qiuju agreed by mistake.

"Okay, let's go, if you don't feel tired, go, boss, you have to watch out for the third child so that he doesn't let him run around, and you will be sent to the car when he comes back, do you hear me? Otherwise, you are not allowed to go."

Yang Xiaogang glanced at the third child, and finally nodded: "Okay, I understand, I promise not to let him out of my sight."

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole rolled his eyes.

"Mom, I want to go too."

Xizi next to him was eating there, and when he saw the third child gone, he muttered something.

"Snapped!"

Wang Qiuju lost her mind, "Go, go, go, you want to go, have you finished your homework?"

Hearing this, Xizi pouted.

Yes!

The homework is not finished yet!
When Yang Xiaole heard that he was going, she was also happy for a while. If it doesn't work, she will come back early. Anyway, she will leave in a while and arrive early.

After finishing the rice in a hurry, the two took a shower in the courtyard with some water.

Then, at dusk, he rushed towards the city with his pack on his back.

Walking on the road, Yang Xiaogang thought of something, and asked him: "By the way, Xiao Le, where did Xiaolong and Xiaohu go to work? Where are they in the city?"

"Oh, they, they went to the city a few days ago and worked as temporary workers in a printing factory in the western suburbs."

Now there is a huge shortage of people for publicity, and the printing of various promotional posters and brochures also requires a lot of people.

As for Tian Cuihua's temperament, the whole village knows about it.

The eldest brother nodded slightly, thinking of what his mother said before, he asked curiously: "By the way, what you said to your mother earlier was about going to the city to sell things."

"Oh, it's nothing, it's the people I used to fish with. They often go to the city to sell things. I went there twice last time. If I go, I can also share 8 yuan. Mom won't let me go..."

Yang Xiaole said casually.

"Then why don't you find me and dad, aren't you safer than others? You don't have to share with others."

Hearing the elder brother's words, Yang Xiaole curled her lips: "The three of us are together, and then we were killed together, what are you thinking! Just like you and your father, you will be sold and count the money for others!"

After finishing speaking, he avoided the action of his elder brother patting his head.

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

The elder brother glared at him angrily.

Yang Xiaole shrugged when she heard the words, "Am I wrong? How about I give you a fish and you sell it yourself, do you dare?"

When the elder brother heard this, he hesitated for a moment and didn't speak.

Seeing his expression, Yang Xiaole knew he didn't dare.

Not just him.

At least most of the village is like this.

When I entered the city, I felt inferior and timid, just like Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden.

Let him, a half-child who has never been in the city, go to the city to sell things secretly, and he can't figure out which way the door is facing!
It's almost the same after getting familiar with it later.

But he wouldn't let his elder brother do it either.

The two chatted and walked towards the coal-pulling road, which was familiar to both of them.

When we came to the place, there was still a team retreating towards the mine on the road, which was very lively.

The two stood there, Yang Xiaogang thought of something: "By the way, have you issued a certificate? If someone checks, it will be troublesome."

"Don't worry, let's go."

How could he not be ready in a few days.

While thinking, a coal truck came from a distance.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole hurriedly urged him: "The car is coming, go and stop it, and see if there is anyone in the car."

Hearing this, Yang Xiaogang turned his head to look, and hurriedly beckoned.

The car stopped, but fortunately there was no one in the co-pilot.

After explaining the situation, the two got into the car and squeezed together in the co-pilot position.

"That master, your surname! Come smoke a cigarette to refresh yourself."

Yang Xiaole took out a cigarette and handed it to the driver. Drivers on this road may encounter them in the future, so make a good relationship in advance.

"Oh, I learned to smoke at such a young age!"

The driver took a look and was surprised, but still took it.

Yang Xiaole put away the cigarette and smiled: "I don't smoke, I put it on my body for self-defense."

The other party slowed down the speed of the car, lit the cigarette, and then stepped on the accelerator to continue moving forward.

The man is about 40 years old, with a flat head, a square face, and a bumpy face.

Looking at the two, he smiled: "Are you going to the city to find a job?"

After Yang Xiaole sat down, he explained to him again, "Well, my uncle found a job for my brother, and we came over after receiving his telegram."

"Oh! That's good!"

The man was polite.

The two chatted casually for a while.

Yang Xiaole also knew the other party's name, Zhao Chen.

When they heard Yang Xiaole mention Xu Daniu, the two of them became more familiar with each other.

Because two people belong to a transport team.

At around 10:30 in the evening, the car arrived at the gate of Fucheng, and the two thanked each other and got out of the car.

After the person left, Yang Xiaogang pawed him: "Third brother, who did you learn from? Did you buy cigarettes?"

"I bought this cigarette before, and it was scattered when I entered the city. Let me tell you, when I went to the factory to buy a pack of cigarettes, I don't care whether others smoke it or not. It’s a stepping stone. You can ask for a leave of absence in the future, or if you need a favor from others, you can ask.”

After Yang Xiaole finished speaking, he looked around, as if he was looking for something.

Yang Xiaogang thought about it for a while, nodded slightly, looked up and saw him looking around, and asked strangely; "What are you doing? What are you looking for?"

"I'm looking for those people! I ran there."

Hearing this, Yang Xiaogang also took a look around, but there were a few scattered people around, after all, it was Sijiu City, and some came from the countryside like them.

Yang Xiaole looked around, pretending not to find it, and asked Yang Xiaogang, "Brother, should I go to the guest house for one night and take the bus tomorrow morning, or should I walk now, it's not that close."

"Go now, it will be troublesome if you delay, you know the way."

Yang Xiaole shrugged when she heard the words: "Okay, let's go, I'll take you to borrow a bicycle."

After speaking, he walked towards the city.

Anyway, I have to pass by there, so it's better to borrow a bicycle and walk as far as I want.

"Hey, who did you borrow the car from!"

Yang Xiaogang hurried to catch up and asked.

"Isn't it the one I saved last time? Let's go!"

After speaking, he walked forward quickly.

When he came near Caishikou in Xidan, Yang Xiaole pointed to an alley and said to him: "Brother, look, this is the black market near Caishikou in Xidan, but there are no people there now, and there will be people in the early morning."

Yang Xiaogang took a look inside when he heard the words.

Only a few scattered street lights can barely see the situation inside.

Yang Xiaole thought for a while, and said to him: "Brother, wait for me for a while, I'll see if those guys are inside."

"Hey, I'll go with you."

"Just stand here. What are you afraid of? No one will come to arrest you at this time! Besides, if you go, they won't come out."

After speaking, he walked towards the alley.

Yang Xiaogang glanced around, but in the end he still didn't follow.

Yang Xiaole came inside and pretended to search around.

Then came to a small alley, pretending to talk to someone there.

Then into the alley.

Yang Xiaogang watched his brother go in, and was anxious to go there, but after a while, he saw him come out again, still holding a big fish in his hand.

"Ouch, brother, it's too heavy, please lift it."

Yang Xiaogang saw a big fish in his hand, and hurriedly took it.

Then I was surprised: "Why is such a big fish, it weighs more than 20 catties? Is it worth two or three yuan? They just gave it to you?"

Yang Xiaole shook his head: "This place is more expensive than the commune's supply and marketing cooperative, 3 cents a catty, which is still cheap on the black market, and the market price is even more expensive, this one costs about seven or eight yuan. Can you not give it to me? No Give it to me, I won't give them bait next time."

"It's so expensive? Why do you take the fish? Give it to uncle?"

Yang Xiaogang was startled.

But he had inquired that if he went to work as an apprentice, it would only cost 18 yuan plus a 2 yuan subsidy for the first year.

This fish is only seven or eight dollars.

Yang Xiaole shook her head, "What are you doing to my uncle? I'll scold him! Send it to someone else! Let's go, it's not far ahead."

After finishing speaking, she led him to Hua Yourong's house.

When he came to the place, he knocked on the door and shouted a few times at the door: "Aunt Su Ling, Aunt Su Ling."

After taking a few shots, he stopped taking pictures when he saw the lights on the second floor turned on.

After a while, Su Ling came out wearing a set of pajamas, opened the door and saw the two of them, Su Ling was surprised: "Xiao Le, why are you here?"

"Auntie, let's talk first. This is my elder brother."

"Oh! Come in."

Su Ling glanced at the two of them, nodded, and when someone came in, she closed the door again.

When he came to the living room, Yang Xiaole asked his elder brother to put the fish down: "Auntie, this fish is for you. Didn't you say that you can eat the fish?"

Su Ling looked at him and said to him, "Are you here at this time? From your hometown? The fish didn't give you money last time!"

Yang Xiaole nodded: "Auntie, my uncle found a job for my elder brother. We will come here today. Auntie, can you lend me your bicycle? Don't be afraid that we will run away, we have proof."

Seeing this, Su Ling smiled: "Okay, let's just use it! Anyway, we don't need it tomorrow or the day after. It’s really useful, and I feel much more comfortable than before during this time.”

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole reckoned that it wasn't the effect of the fish, but the effect of the well water.

After all, the fish was raised in well water.

I'll find a way to get some well water in the future.

Then he said to her, "Let's talk about the money. We'll go to my uncle's house later, and I'll bring you the car back tomorrow."

"Okay, it's okay."

After finishing speaking, turn on the fan, "Sit down for a while! I'll get the key."

Turning the fan on the two of them, I went to the hollowed-out shelf on the wall where the thermos and quilt were placed and took a key.

"Here. Just give it back to me after you use it up."

Yang Xiaole took the things and thanked her.

In fact, he had another purpose, after thinking for a while, he asked: "Auntie, I want to ask you something, you also know that we sold fish in the black market, it was too dangerous.

I want to ask, do you know anyone who must be reliable and consume something.Such as eggs, meat and the like. "

To put it bluntly, they are rich people.

The identity of the other party must know some people.

His original intention was to send things here and let those people come here to pick them up.

It's just that he doesn't know how to open the mouth.

If it is completely linked to interests, the nature of the relationship between the two will also change.

Of course, here must be a small batch to let the family know, and a large batch still depends on the logistics of the big factory.

Most people can't eat that much.

Unless there are more than a dozen families who eat meat every day, it's not too bad.

Su Ling thought about it for a while, and then said: "I do know some of them. Except for Mr. Suo, I'm actually not very relieved. After all, you also know now that the environment for us people is not very good."

After thinking about it, she still said what Yang Xiaole wanted in her heart: "How about this, if you don't have a large amount, you can leave the things here, and I'll send someone over to pick them up. What do you think?"

Yang Xiaole was thinking there.

The Suo Ye that Su Ling mentioned just now sounds like old and young, these people have solid backgrounds!
"Auntie, is Suo Ye reliable?"

Su Ling smiled and nodded: "Rely on it, if something happens, he will never tell it. It's just that the old man has a bad temper, and it's difficult for ordinary people to talk to him. How about it, how about you There is time in the day, I will take you there, you have to be early, the old man can get up early, but he can't go to bed late. There are a lot of rules."

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole thought for a while, and finally nodded.

"That's fine, auntie, we'll go first, and the car will be delivered to you tomorrow."

After speaking, he got up and walked towards the yard.

Yang Xiaogang followed behind without hesitation.

Pushing the car, he said hello and left the compound.

After coming out, Yang Xiaogang couldn't help asking: "This is the person you mentioned, and she was the one who saved?"

"That's right! Dad has seen her. The clothes of the eldest sister and the younger sister, as well as the canned food, brown sugar, and malted milk are all given by her. If you don't believe me, go and ask!"

"That's not what I meant. Then you still sell things in the future? What if you get caught?"

Yang Xiaogang didn't doubt this, he just asked.

"It's safer than the black market, isn't it? And when I come over in the future, the people will come over first to see if there is no problem, and then let them bring the things over. Don't talk nonsense when you go back!"

Things are still for sale.

If you reveal a little to your family, you won't need to talk nonsense in the future.

Lest I slip up again one day.

Next time he plans to take his elder brother with him, just watch from the side.

I don’t want to reveal a little bit about it now, but in the difficult times in the future, when I make a lot of things, I don’t even have a helper or someone to help me talk.

Yang Xiaogang hesitated.

Seeing his expression, Yang Xiaole patted the car: "Okay, come on, I'll take you there by bike."

Hearing this, Yang Xiaogang got into the car in a daze.

"Oh, you are really heavy! Let your feet loose, what are you afraid of?"

Yang Xiaole couldn't ride, but when he saw his elder brother's feet on the ground, he probably was afraid of falling.

"Oh!"

When Yang Xiaogang heard the words, he quickly raised his legs.

Only now did Yang Xiaole leave by riding a bicycle, and after a while it didn't take much effort.

As he walked, he still worriedly explained: "Brother, remember that no one can tell about this matter, you are the only one in the family who knows, you can't tell anyone! If you can't even trust me, then I will be working in vain gone."

"Okay, I get it now!"

Yang Xiaogang was actually a little hesitant.

Finally, after thinking about it, I decided to observe it for a while and then take another look.
