Reborn to be rich

Chapter 26 Borrowing Money
Zhang Guodong calculated the calculations in his heart. If an adult carries 400 catties of yellow stones from the bottom of the ditch a day, and earns 2 yuan a day, many people will surely do it. If he wants his neighbors in the team to dig in the ditch For stones, you have to pay 10 yuan for one meal. The current tractors basically have a load of more than two tons per ton, so you can get more than 10 yuan in profit after one trip, except for the cost of hiring people to load and unload stones, plus burning oil. , You can earn at least 6 yuan or more if you lie down, this thing can be done.

"Then I would like to thank Mayor Dou. I will go back and discuss with my family. I will borrow some money from relatives and friends. If I buy a tractor, can I send the stone there? And how to settle the bill."

Just do what you say, and Mayor Dou also appreciates Zhang Guodong's approach. Nowadays, the society and the country advocate getting rich first and driving others to get rich. This idea is not wrong. What Ganjing Township lacks is this kind of courageous people who do things.

"Okay, if you want to send yellow stones, send them to the gate of the township government first! At that time, someone will ask you to record the tonnage, and you can take the slip to the finance department to get the bill at any time. But road construction will start on Monday next week, you Start pulling rocks next Wednesday!"

After a while, the sound of pulling stones was settled, and a smile appeared on Zhang Guodong's face. A tractor costs at least 2000 yuan, and 3000 yuan for the rear compartment is not much more. He has enough money now. I've been thinking about doing something with the money, but I didn't expect it to happen today.

After Zhang Guodong toasted everyone with a glass of wine, he slowly returned to his table. At this time, all the dishes he and Guodong ordered had been served, and Zhang Guotao waited with his chopsticks for his brother to come back without touching them.

"Brother, what did you talk to the township leader just now!" Zhang Guotao asked in a low voice in Zhang Guodong's ear.

"Go home and tell you, let's eat now!"

He ordered two bowls of rice, and drank the beer beside him while eating. He didn't take back the bottle of "Sanqin people" that was placed on the township leader's table just now.

The road construction will start in 5 days, and I can send stones to the village in [-] days, but before that, there are still many details to communicate with Mayor Dou. The government's affairs should not be afraid of trouble, and second, don't be afraid of spending money. Money, otherwise you can't do anything.

The township leaders got up and left after a while. Zhang Guodong got up and watched them leave without seeing them off. At this moment, he saw a sneaky figure coming in from the door, passing by Zhang Guodong and almost being hung upside down by a chair.

"Yo!"

"It's you……"

Bai Yun slammed into the chair behind Zhang Guodong and let out a cry of pain. Today, her father asked her to come here to deliver peppers. Just now when she entered the door, she saw the village leaders walking out together. She wanted to run faster, but she bumped into the chair beside the table.

"Baiyun!"

"Zhang Guodong is you!"

It was a surprise to meet the two of them once. Bai Yun felt a little embarrassed to be seen by the other party. He was very curious about how Zhang Guodong could eat here. A ton of rice here costs nearly ten yuan. Ordinary villagers would not come here. Have a meal.

"What a coincidence! Are you...?" Zhang Guodong looked at the bag in Bai Yun's hand and asked.

"Oh! I'm here to deliver chili peppers. My brother has something to do today, so my dad asked me to come here. Are you... for dinner?"

"That's right! The dishes just came out, let's sit down and eat together! Anyway, we ordered a lot." Zhang Guodong invited.

"No, I just had dinner, I'll deliver the peppers after you eat." He said and ran to the kitchen.

"Brother, who is this beautiful girl? Are you a classmate? You two seem to know each other very well." Zhang Guotao had a playful smile on his face. This was the first time he saw his brother talking to a girl like this.

"Eat yours. I met you in the county when I was selling wild rabbits last time. I used their scales." Zhang Guodong explained.

At this time, Baiyun had already come out of the kitchen, pocketed the money from selling peppers, and walked straight towards Zhang Guodong.

"Remember our agreement, you must go to the temple fair on July [-]th!" Bai Yun's face blushed after speaking, he felt very shy talking to a boy like this.

"Well, welcome to my house when the time comes. As a friend, I will definitely treat you warmly." To be honest, Zhang Guodong doesn't have much thought about men and women towards Bai Yun, which may be the reason why their mentality is about the same age as Bai Yun's. When the girl was shy, there was a trace of fear in his heart.

Zhang Guodong experienced three relationships in his last life, each of which was due to his own fault and brought the whole family into a desperate situation, so he didn't want to imagine his lover in the previous life again, and he hoped that he could make up for them if he had the chance.

"Hmph! Stop wasting money! It's not easy to earn some money! It's not enough to eat and drink like this." After speaking, Bai Yun ran away without looking back.

Since the last time we separated from Zhang Guodong, Zhang Guodong's figure would appear in Bai Yun's heart from time to time. His every movement was so harmonious and natural, which was many times stronger than those boys of the same age in his village. He also thought about Qingyun Temple. Meeting the scene where the other party didn't want to meet her, thinking of this, she felt extremely uneasy.

"Brother, why don't you say nothing? It's all about Qixi Festival." On July [-]th, Qingyun Temple has a temple fair, which is also an opportunity for boys and girls to meet each other. At this time, the whole Ganjing Township and even nearby villages will come here to have a look. It is one of the few grand events of the year here.

"Don't tell our mother when you go back, it's okay if I give you 10 yuan?" Zhang Guodong induced.

"20 yuan! I can't tell my mother, the money you gave me last time was taken away by my mother." Zhang Guotao bargained.

"Okay, I will tell our mother that I should give you the power to independently manage your own finances, and you are not young anymore!"

The food of the four brothers and the two brothers ate cleanly. Before leaving, Zhang Guotao had difficulty walking because of his distended stomach. Zhang Guodong knew that he should sit with him on the chair for a while and leave.Four meat and one vegetable, plus 2 bottles of beer and a bottle of white wine, it only cost 15 yuan 7 in total, and Zhang Guodong exclaimed that it was really worth it.

After eating and drinking enough, the two brothers went home with the cart, and saw their father inspecting the grain at the neighbor's house. Heizi's house hadn't had wheat twice in a row.

There are many people in rural areas who exchange grain for the purpose of paying public grain. People in the same village always give each other three buckets of wheat, which is 80 catties.Zhang Chenglin inspected Heizi's public grain and wheat, and finally thought that the reason why the grain station refused to accept it was because there were too many mud lumps in it. The neighbors poured their wheat on the ground to pick out the mud lumps inside.

"Dad, what's the matter!" Zhang Guodong came to Heizi's house and said to him.

"Today your second elder brother, Uncle Yifeng, and Uncle Qibo took the wheat to the village to look at it. Most of the wheat is still a little wet, and it will take two more days to dry. This year, only your Uncle Yifeng's wheat production is at the bottom. Others It is not too difficult for people to carry the wheat until next year." Zhang Chenglin hopes that his son will be elected as the captain of Zhangjialing Village in a few months, so he will tell him about the affairs of the team.

"Well, it's fine, I have something to talk to you alone!" Zhang Guodong lowered his head and said, buying a tractor is a big deal for the family, and he still has 5 yuan in his hand, so buying a tractor is about the same, but The money came from something unclear, so I had to explain it to my father.

After Zhang Chenglin heard this, he left the yard of Heizi’s house, and returned home to sit on a bench in the yard. It was already past 5 pm, and the persimmon trees in the yard blocked the hot summer sun. Zhang Chenglin pointed to the small stool opposite him, Motioned Zhang Guodong to sit down.

Zhang Guodong told his father carefully about the silver dollar that he would go to the village to look for after Uncle Wu fell ill, but Zhang Chenglin didn't ask carefully. After Zhang Guodong finished speaking, he took out a piece of paper and slowly rolled a cigarette. Zhang Guodong was also anxious, Quietly waiting for my father to roll it up and ignite it.

"I can't buy this tractor too quickly!" Zhang Chenglin said after a while.

"There are only 7 days left before the road construction. This is a good opportunity. After more than a month of earning, the cost of the tractor will be earned back. At that time, other people in our team can also earn this money, as long as the hard work is not as hard as the one earned by the Mackerel. Less." Zhang Guodong thought his father disagreed and tried to explain.

"You go and tell your second brother, uncle Jiu, and Uncle Qi Bo what you think. When the time comes, you have to start collecting stones from your own people, listen to their opinions, and then borrow as much as each family can! I'll go Go to your grandfather's house and ask, and go to your uncle's house tomorrow."

Zhang Guodong savored his father's meaning carefully. This is paving the way for his own money. Relatives in the village can't borrow a lot of money, but it's different whether to borrow or not. Brothers may ruin the relationship.

"Okay, I will come to the neighbors of the second team to talk about how much they can borrow! Mancang's family has been very rich in recent years, you can also visit his house tomorrow." Zhang Guodong immediately unified with his father Thoughts, ready to act.

"Well, from tomorrow onwards, you'd better collect your silver dollars! Just don't go too far in the past few days and wander around. Beizhuang Village heard that everyone picked up a lot of silver dollars when they beat local tyrants. Be careful not to cause trouble."

When Zhang Guodong heard his father's words, he felt admiration for his father. His father only went to elementary school, but he was much more considerate than himself.

"Well, I got it! Let's collect yellow stones from tomorrow! No one will steal them if they are piled up at the door. I will let everyone spread the news."

After discussing with his father, Zhang Guodong left the yard. When he arrived at the door of the second brother's brother, he had just gone to deliver food and hadn't come back, so he turned around and came to Uncle Qibo's house.

"Uncle Qi Bo!"

"Guodong is here, sit down!" Zhang Qibo saw Zhang Guodong coming and walked out of the room.

"Well, Uncle Qibo! I came here today to discuss something with you. Isn't it that our village needs to build roads! I discussed with my dad about buying a tractor."

"Buy a tractor? This is a good thing! If your family bought a tractor, our second team is not like this in the village! Uncle, I agree with it 100%, but don't buy a tractor when the time comes, and the village doesn't want your stones. , have you asked the village leaders?" Zhang Qibo asked while giving Zhang Guodong a thumbs up.

"I have asked about everything in the village. It costs 18 yuan a ton. Then I will charge 10 yuan a ton of yellow stone. It is not a problem for a person to save a few hundred catties a day. I will earn a lot when I transport it to the village. "Zhang Guodong said that he knew that Uncle Qi Bo had played with his father since they were young, so it's better to tell him about these things.

"Then it's a good thing. Thanks to you, the people in the team can still earn a little money, but don't pay for the stone pile! By the way, how are you preparing for the money for the tractor?"

"The money is still short...but it's not much!" Zhang Guodong really didn't want to ask Uncle Qi Bo for a loan. Their family's situation was not good either.

"I still have 36 yuan here, don't think that's all for the young uncle! You want stones and I will go to the ditch with your aunt to pick up stones after the public rations are paid. Don't talk about money, we are door to door. I have to help if the family needs it!"

Coming out of Uncle Qibo's house, Zhang Guodong felt very heavy. Although Uncle Qibo's family was poor, when he talked about using money, he took out all the savings in the family without saying a word. At this time, the relationship between the village and the village is Future generations are incomparable.

After leaving Uncle Qibo’s house, Zhang Guodong went into Uncle Zehui’s house next to him. The situation in Uncle Zehui’s house could be better. When Zhang Guodong asked to borrow money, he took out 70 yuan without saying a word, and Zhang Guodong went on to borrow money. Went to the next one.

Until it was dark, Zhang Guodong had already transferred all 2 households that could borrow money from Team 12. Regardless of the situation of the neighbors, even if they didn’t have a penny, they insisted on going to other teams to help Zhang Guodong borrow ten yuan. At this moment Zhang Guodong's heart suddenly melted.

"With such a group of lovely neighbors and folks, why don't Zhangjialing develop, just watch! It won't be long before Zhangjialing will become a blockbuster and play a leading role in guiding the motherland on the road of reform and opening up."

Zhang Guodong, a total of 2 households in the 12 teams, prepared a total of 437 yuan, of which the second brother borrowed a maximum of 100 yuan.Looking at the pile of money in front of him, there are one yuan and fifty cents in it.Zhang Guodong felt that his whole body was full of strength.

Not long after, Zhang Chenglin came back from the path north of the second team, entered the house, Zhang Chenglin closed the courtyard door, came to the middle room, Zhang Guodong hurriedly lit the kerosene lamp.

"This is 975 yuan! Your grandpa gave 360 ​​yuan!" Zhang Chenglin took out a notebook from his arms, which contained the amount borrowed by 15 families in a team. I copied these accounts again and recorded them in my notebook.

The next day, Zhang Guodong went out early. Today, he carried a whole 1000 yuan of ocean on him. He rode his bicycle and rode directly to the east of Ganjing Township.

After passing Zhang Guodong in Ganjing Township, he began to ride south. There are three small villages in the southeast of Ganjing Township. Zhang Guodong can be named in these villages but has never been to them.Today he set his sights on these villages, which are said to have defeated a big landlord 40 years ago.
