Chapter 12
When Zhang Xiaoyue came home from school at noon, she yelled happily when she saw the meat at noon, but she had a small appetite. After eating a rabbit leg and a piece of stewed rabbit meat, the rabbit head took a few bites and couldn't eat anymore.

"I'll eat again tonight!" The rabbit head was the only one left, and the little girl began to take food for herself.

After the family left with his father and second brother, the third sister went to junior high school in the village, and the mother, Xiaoyue, and Guorui were left at home. Zhang Guodong looked at the younger sister who was already sensible, and told her:

"When I leave with my father, you have to help my mother with housework and take care of my younger brother, you know? I will buy you delicious food when I get home. Also, be careful in school, and you are not allowed to sing until you finish your homework. Let me hear you again." You are blocked by the teacher from going home, so don’t learn to sing, you know?” Zhang Guodong looked at Zhang Xiaoyue and said, he is the only one in the family who can control the younger sister.

"Understood!" Xiaoyue knew that she had to study hard since her eldest brother brought back so many pencils and notebooks last night. Her eldest brother valued her study very much, so how could she not feel it even though she was so smart.

In the afternoon, the families of the second team were discussing at the door what to buy for tomorrow’s departure. Everyone brought pot helmets for dry food. Even if the family is not rich and there is not much white flour, the men in the family are not allowed to travel far away to bring corn. Yes, the pot helmet is small and easy to handle, and the storage time is also the longest.

Taking advantage of the fact that Zhang Guodong was free now, he found a lunchbox full of stewed rabbit meat at home. This stuff should not be kept for too long, and the third sister might be gone when she comes home on Friday.

Guodong borrowed his second brother's bicycle and went all the way to the gate of Ganjing Township Middle School. No one stopped him when he entered the school gate. Ganjing Township is such a big place that no outsiders come.

"Student, where is the second class of the second year of junior high school?" Zhang Guodong saw that it was the afternoon break time, and the ages of middle school students at this time were very different. There are many people who are young.

"The second row over there, the first teacher!" The boy who answered was about 1.4 meters tall. He looked similar to Zhang Ping, but at this age, only such a small height was obviously stunted.

Looking at the appearance of these junior high school students in front of me, none of them looked a little fatter. The development of the entire Ganjing Township is still blank. Basically, some villagers are on the red line of extreme poverty.

After the [-]th National Congress of the Communist Party of China next year, for the first time, the motherland has determined the social orientation of the country, the theory and policy of the primary stage of socialism, and very correctly explained the future development of the motherland, so that the common people can let go of the policy of strength. With hands and feet, people's lives can be better.

"Zhang Ping, your brother is looking for you!" As soon as Guodong arrived at the door of Zhang Ping's classroom, he saw Afeng from the first team shouting. Afeng was the same generation as Guodong, and he was the same month as Guotao.

Zhang Ping just took the bowls and chopsticks from the dormitory and went to the canteen to eat. A bowl of porridge in the canteen at night costs only 5 cents. Many students are drinking porridge and eating steamed buns.Hearing someone calling her, Zhang Ping took a look. Isn't the tall and handsome guy pushing a bicycle in the distance his elder brother?
The eldest brother is very handsome, but he didn't like to talk before, and he didn't respond well to others talking to him, but this time he came back from the college entrance examination, and his whole person seemed to have changed. Not only his parents, but also the four brothers and sisters were very fond of him. like.

"Brother!" Zhang Ping dropped the classmates who went to the dining hall together, and ran to Zhang Guodong. Zhang Guodong took out a lunch box from the front frame of the bicycle and put it in her hand:
"I made stewed rabbit meat this afternoon, and I brought it specially for you to eat. If you bring a lot of it to the dormitory, you can also give it to your roommates to try."

Zhang Ping took her brother's lunch box and opened a box full of stuffy, crispy yellow rabbit meat.

"Tomorrow, I will leave with my father and your second brother. When I go home on weekends, I will help my mother do more housework and help me supervise Xiaoyue's homework. He will be very troublesome if he tires of studying. Also, you will take the 5 yuan Then, if there is something good at school, I will buy it and eat it."

Zhang Ping kept nodding. The eldest brother didn't worry about these things at home before, and he always seemed impatient when Xiaoyue played with him. This was the first time he gave himself money!
She saw her brother give 1000 yuan to her mother last night. When the family has money, she will not save as much as before. The school cafeteria also has meat and vegetables every day, and 5 yuan is enough for her to eat for a few weeks.

"I see, brother. You should also be careful when you go out with Dad. Don't worry about things and don't fight with others!" Zhang Ping was most afraid of her brothers fighting with others, and she was seriously injured every time.In the past, if I said this to my eldest brother, my eldest brother would definitely lose his temper with her, but not now.

"Well, don't worry! I'll go first!" Zhang Guodong rode away, and Zhang Ping looked at his brother's back and was extremely happy.

"Zhang Ping, hurry up, if you don't come to dinner, you will be beaten!" the roommate who was with Zhang Ping called her in a daze.

"I'm not going, you guys go back to the dormitory after lunch! My brother brought me rabbit meat today, if it's late, it'll be gone!" It's better to be like her. In the past, she felt very envious when she saw them making a fried dish occasionally, but it won't happen in the future, because he has a big brother.

The three girls were also happy to hear that there was meat to eat. It is not easy for rural people to eat meat. When they returned to the dormitory, they helped Zhang Ping bring porridge and steamed buns. The four girls ate a box of rabbit meat for half an hour before eating. After that, he lay on the bed too tight to move.

Walking around in Ganjing Township, apart from the sparsely populated supply and marketing cooperatives, there are only some mobile stalls on the street selling simple things.The Liangpi is a big bowl of ten cents, just the kind with salt and vinegar water added, and a lot of chili is added. This kind of Liangpi will never be eaten by future generations, but it is very popular here.

There are no pots, pans, racks, wheels, knives, hoes, and saws in the supply and marketing cooperative. Zhang Guodong thought that if the house at Guanlukou could be built faster and turned into a store earlier, he could basically occupy the goods of Ganjing Township. market.

In the end, Zhang Guodong also deliberately looked at the grain stores and guest houses in the countryside, and he already had a bottom line in his heart. If Guanlukou can take the lead, Zhangjialing will definitely become the most important and prosperous area outside Ganjing Township, which will benefit Zhangjialing as a whole. It is immeasurable, and one more thing, Zhangjialing is one of the roads from Ganjing Township to Yunyou County. It is possible to revitalize this road and replace Ganjing Township.

It was already dusk when we got home, and the herdsmen were driving the sheep back from the ditch, shouting as they walked, and the sound of lambs came from the village at the other end, and the ewes shouted even louder.

The villagers couldn't stand the neighing, so they opened the courtyard door, and the lambs ran towards their mother. When they saw each other, the lamb knelt under the ewe and sucked some milk. The ewe stopped and went home. Licking his own child, Zhang Guodong stopped the car and waited for the flock to pass, and then walked around.

"Where did Guodong go?" It was Guodong's sixth uncle, the second son of the third grandfather, who raised sheep since he was a child. His children have all gone to herd sheep before they graduated from primary school. He has nearly a hundred sheep. Life is still poor and nothing, the main reason is the sixth aunt's illness, and the medicine costs hundreds of dollars every year.

"Uncle Six, I just went to the village to deliver something to Pingping. There are a lot of lambs this year!"

"Haha! There are only 52 lambs." The sixth uncle is a very optimistic person who likes to joke and doesn't like a stressful life. Even if you only buy 52 yuan for each of the 5 lambs, it is 260 yuan.

Back at the gate of the house, there is no one to rest and chat at the gate of the courtyard today, which is very rare.The man in the family is going out tomorrow, and everyone is making final preparations for going out.

"Why do you go to bed so early?" Guodong returned to the middle room and saw that his second brother was already asleep.

"Our mother said that I will get up at four o'clock tomorrow, let's go to bed early!"

"All right!"

Zhang Guodong lay on the kang for a long time and couldn't fall asleep.Occupying the officer's intersection is beneficial for a long time. If you want to quickly obtain start-up funds, it is best to go your own way and buy ancient pieces.

It is those simple silver dollars, gold dollars, ingots, porcelain, calligraphy and paintings, etc. He generally dare not accept them, not to mention losing money, if he is lucky and is said to be selling national treasures, he will be finished. The more you understand, the more you are afraid, but the fastest way to accumulate funds in the early stage is.

The next morning, Zhang Guodong and his brothers were woken up early by their mother, and after washing their faces, this morning, my mother made a big pot of rice, covered with cornmeal stewed rabbit, pork stew, and fried potatoes. Although the taste was a bit mixed, it expressed her love Some thoughts.

The father and son concentrated on eating, and Hu Yue'e kept telling them all by herself. The father was silent and didn't speak. I don't care if I can't survive without travel expenses.

Zhang Guotao looked impatient. He was full of anticipation and wanted to see what the distant world was like earlier. If something happened, his elder brother couldn't solve it.Zhang Guodong, on the other hand, looked indifferent. The southern part of Guanzhong is the most prosperous area in Qin Province. He estimated that the starting price of 3 yuan per mu was conservative. As long as he didn't get together with the locals to fight for work, he wouldn't lose money.

Zhang Guotao went out with a water bottle on his back, Zhang Guodong carried a mattress, two sheets and two bed sheets, and Zhang Chenglin at the back was carrying a green military shoulder bag with four large pot helmets, more than a dozen rabbit legs, several A catty of stewed hare meat, and some leftover rice from the morning, let my mother stuff them all in.

"Let's go!" After leaving the house, Zhang Guotao took the lead to come to the big locust tree in the middle of the village.People in Zhangjialing Village would wait here when they went out, and Zhang Guodong and Zhang Chenglin's family called people to prepare to go.

In fact, everyone was already ready. Soon after gathering under the big pagoda tree, we checked for the last time that the sickle and bedding we brought were all right, and we all set off together.

There are 7 people in 11 households. In addition to Zhang Guodong's family of three, Heizi and his father also came together. Uncle Nine and his younger brother are only 17 years old this year. Guodong should call him Uncle Shiba.

When we arrived at Guanlukou, we went all the way south. Everyone was in a good mood in the dark. Guotao and Wenbin were the most active and kept fighting in the team. Uncle Shiba was relatively shy and gradually started playing with them.

"Guodong, we are all here with you this time. We have never been out of Ganjing Township. Tell everyone what Hu County is like!" Zhang Guoyan, the second brother, patted Guodong on the shoulder. I like to hear Guodong talk about some interesting places in the outside world. The farmers in Ganjing Township harvest their own wheat, and no one has a lot of money to hire people.

Zhang Guodong was not stingy either. He showed that he talked about the current status of the motherland in the world, the form of national development, and some policies of the [-]th National Congress, which gave everyone a deeper understanding of China.

Guodong specially selected some beautiful rivers and mountains of the motherland to listen to everyone, and everyone listened with enthusiasm, and everyone wanted to make money quickly and pass on all these good places.

After leaving Ganjing Township and entering the mountain road, the sky gradually brightened. Yu and everyone didn't carry much on their backs, so the food change was more than half faster than the last time. Everyone quickly walked the mountain road and entered the boundary of Kun County.

"How long will it be there! I'm a bit hungry!" After walking for three hours, the sun had already risen from the east, and the refreshing morning began to become a little hotter, and everyone finally arrived at the place where they were boarding the car.

"There is still an hour for the car to go to Chang'an to pass by here. Everyone sit down and rest for a while, and watch out for thieves when you get in the car. If you encounter anything, tell me first." Zhang Guodong must be responsible for everyone's safety, reminding them over and over again Should pay attention to the problem.

The nine o'clock car arrived slowly after more than ten minutes, making everyone worry that the car might not come today.

"Get in the car and tie the big things to the roof. Look who will go up and tie them up. We will not be responsible if they are not tied firmly and fall off! 11 people... 9 yuan and 99 yuan per person. Okay, I will charge you ten. Ten yuan, I'll find you one." After finally getting into the car, the car finally started to move.

In 80, there was no expressway in Qin Province. It took an hour to get to National Highway 312 from Kunxian County on a bumpy stone road. Although there were not many cars on the national highway at this time, the roads were also two-lane, and the road surface was full of potholes. The test for drivers is very strict.

Heizi looked solid, and he was suffering from motion sickness after sitting for a while. He opened the window and vomited everything he ate this morning, but he still felt nauseous.

Motion sickness is just a word "very good", if you get used to motion sickness, it will be fine. Zhang Guodong used to get motion sickness when he took the train at the beginning of his last life, but later he didn't react when he was running outside in a car.

Apart from Heizi, several other people were also a little bit motion sick, but they were in better condition. Heizi was on the verge of being paralyzed when he arrived at Chengxi Bus Station in Chang'an after driving for 4 hours. Several people helped him to the side of the road to rest for a while. It's getting better.

"From here to Hu County, you have to go to the south of the city to reverse the bus. You pay one yuan for the bus. Just follow me." , this time is not rush hour, and there are not many people on the bus.

"Brothers, are you harvesting wheat?" A man who appeared to be in his 30s asked Zhang Chenglin, and he saw that the group of people was dominated by this person.

Zhang Chenglin listened to his son's words, don't talk to anyone who takes the initiative to talk to you, Zhang Guodong will naturally deal with it.

"I'm sorry, my dad is not very good at talking for the first time, brother, where are you from!" Zhang Guodong's Chang'an accent immediately made the other party feel a lot more friendly.

"I'm sorry, brothers, are you going to the southern counties to collect and sell?" This man's talkative appearance made people not feel bored at all.
