Reborn to be rich

Chapter 33
"I'm already well. I can get out of bed and walk these few days. I'll rest for a while. There's no need to waste money here." Zhang Chengmao insisted on going back with his nephew.

"Uncle Wu, the operation you performed this time is not a minor operation. In the end, it will take several stages to recuperate slowly. What should you do if you go back now and the disease relapses, or you will not be able to do heavy work in the future? Are you idle at home? "Zhang Guodong knew that Uncle Wu would not feel at ease here for treatment if he didn't have a heavy language.

"However, it costs dozens of yuan a day here. The nurse said that some of the Chinese medicine I drink is specially brewed, and there are various expensive Chinese medicines in it..."

"Uncle Wu, don't worry about it so much. Since we are here, let's take care of the disease thoroughly. What should you do when you go back? You won't be a drag on Wen Bin in the future, right? Don't worry about the money. The hospital has already applied for a serious illness subsidy , we only need to pay a small part of the money ourselves."

Finally, Uncle Wu was persuaded. In fact, Uncle Wu is an open-minded person, but this time he spent too much money and he didn’t know what to do, so he was uneasy. After learning that Zhang Guodong had bought a tractor and earned more than 20 yuan in less than 6000 days , is also very happy, Zhang Guodong finally really let go of his heart when he saw him.

Before Zhang Guodong and Zhang Wenjuan had eaten at noon, Wen Bin was asked to watch in the ward first, and Zhang Guodong took Wenjuan out for dinner.

One person ordered a big bowl of boiled buns, Wenjuan might have to stay here for two months, and Zhang Guodong must let her have a good meal before leaving.

"Your brother and I will leave later. Take good care of my fifth uncle. This is 200 yuan for living expenses. Don't be reluctant to buy anything you want." Zhang Guodong took out 200 yuan and handed it to his cousin. Juan obediently put the money into her pocket.

Zhang Guodong has always had a big appetite. He finally ordered a big bowl of boiled buns and cold dishes, and drank 4 bottles of soda before he was full. Wenjuan also ate up a large bowl of boiled buns.

After leaving the paomo restaurant, Zhang Guodong saw that the clothes on Wenjuan were out of tune with the surroundings. This might be her best clothes. Although the clothes were clean and patched, there were more than ten sizes. He saw clothes sellers on the side of the road, so he He dragged Wenjuan into the clothes store.

Half an hour later, Zhang Wenjuan came out wearing a black and white textured dress, and her rough cloth shoes were replaced by white sandals.

"Brother Guodong! I feel so awkward!" Wenjuan lowered her head and didn't dare to look around. It was the first time she wore such clothes. In her heart, these beautiful clothes should be worn by the children of commodity food in the city.

"Look at how beautiful you look. You have been wearing these two sets of clothes for the past two months. You must eat every meal on time. Don't save money! I will tell you what happens to you, and you need to go west of the city." Third Wu standing there, I will definitely pick you up before school starts." Zhang Guodong was talking when he heard Zhang Wenjuan cry quietly. She was only 14 years old and was a carefree child in later generations. Now she is alone In Chang'an, I have to take care of my father.

After comforting her cousin, Wenjuan was very obedient and stopped crying. After returning to the hospital ward and explaining to Zhang Wenbin, it was time to leave.

Zhang Wenbin has indeed grown a lot in the past 20 days, and his calm and playful words are not so serious.Zhang Guodong took him out of the hospital, and Zhang Wenbin took out a wad of money from his pocket.

"Brother Guodong, this is 106 yuan and 4 cents. The food in this hospital is so cheap that it doesn't cost much."

Zhang Guodong gave him 110 yuan because he was afraid that he would be alone outside. Unexpectedly, he only spent more than three yuan and fifty cents in more than 20 days.

"Okay, if you don't spend what I gave you, you're an idiot! Come on, I'll show you the tractor I bought." Zhang Guodong took the money and stuffed it into his pocket. Wang Wenbin smiled when he saw his cousin accepting it, and he was also a little bit in his heart. Don't want to rely on others, many men are like this, you help me remember, but I don't rely on you.

When he came to the tractor, Zhang Guotao sat on the tractor and touched it again and again. He didn't expect that his cousin had already bought a tractor in more than 20 days, and asked Zhang Guodong to teach him how to drive it.

"I'll let you know about the tractor first, and when I arrive in Yongkang County in the afternoon, I'll let you try it on the national highway. Let's go to the light industry market first! I'm here with a mission. of."

The two came to the largest light industry market in Northwest China, and found that it was extremely lively, and the scale was much larger than they had imagined.

"Brother Guodong! What do you think this is?" Zhang Wenbin pointed to a large tape recorder and asked curiously. It was the first time he saw something like that that could make sound.

"That's a tape recorder. You have to plug it in and buy a tape to play it. It costs more than 600 yuan!" Zhang Guodong looked at the price of the tape recorder and felt that it was not worth it.

"Boss, how do you sell the radio?" Grandpa had a radio, and his father had mentioned that he had the money to buy one before, and Zhang Guodong happened to see it today.

"It's 36 yuan if you want it! It's cheaper if you buy more." This kind of big market has a lot of traffic every day, the boss simply replied.

"What price can I give for ten?"

"Ten are for you at the wholesale price of 28! How about AA batteries!" The boss directly found 10 and threw the radio at Zhang Guodong's feet before he disassembled it!Then take out a large box of batteries.

"How much is this box of batteries?"

"100 15 yuan 5."

"It's not cheap to buy so much."

"It's all at the wholesale price, it can't be cheap!"

Zhang Guodong bought 10 radios as soon as he entered the market. He and Zhang Wenbin wandered around the market looking for a shelf car seller, but unexpectedly came to the clothing wholesale market.

"How much is this green uniform?" Zhang Guodong always wanted to ask the price when he saw something.

"3 yuan and 6 sets."

"What about the wholesale price?"

"From 20 pieces, one yuan nine!"

……

Zhang Guodong didn't expect that the wholesale price of clothes would be so different from the retail price. This green clothes is officially the favorite of rural children. The quality of the clothes bought in the county is not as good as the price of more than 5 yuan, and the profit of clothes is huge.But one piece is one piece for each of the 7 sizes from large to small, and 20 pieces is 140 sets, which is a bit much.

"Wen Bin, do you think that if this dress is sold in our village, someone will buy it?"

"Yes, of course! There must be many people who buy a suit for 6 yuan."

"Okay, let's move these things to the tractor first, and you will watch from the car."

Zhang Wenbin readily accepted and loaded all the things he bought on the tractor. Zhang Guodong bought some rubber soles in the clothing wholesale market. These things only cost more than 2 cents. Pulling a pair of soles in the countryside is much troublesome.

After walking around the clothing wholesale market, Zhang Guodong bought a faux leather jacket for only 12 yuan each, and two types of men’s trousers, one for 2 yuan each, and the other for 5 yuan. The expensive ones are only two pieces.

Zhang Guodong doesn't know much about women's clothes. A set of patterned dark-colored thin shirt tops, with a total of 4 patterns, costs only 2 yuan and 2 cents each. Zhang Guodong directly bought 20 large pieces in various colors.

Zhang Guodong bought two sets of better clothes for the whole family in the market, and Zhang Guodong spent more than 400 yuan. To be honest, expensive things are better.

At the market, he asked someone to move everything to the tractor for two yuan. Zhang Guodong saw a belt seller at the gate of the market.

A piece of artificial cowhide is five square meters in size, and the price is only 23 yuan. You can cut more than 300 belts and a set of belt clips ranging from 5 cents to 2 cents. There are a total of 4 kinds of leather. Zhang Guodong bought one each, and then bought a set. Punches and cutters for large holes in belts.

Zhang Guodong originally wanted to spend the 4000 yuan in his hands this year, but now he only spent more than 1600. He found a seller of farm tools, whether it was iron lifts, pouts, or hoes for weeding, sickles, machetes, kitchen knives, ax.All started with 50 pieces. Because the racks and wheels took up too much space, Zhang Guodong only bought 27 pieces. The wholesale price here is 4 yuan each, which is only [-] bucks cheaper than the last time I bought it.

The 4000 yuan was completely spent, and Zhang Guodong finally calmed down and prepared to go home.

Ever since I bought a tractor, the villagers in Zhangjialing have had an extra income. Having money at home will definitely change the quality of life at home. Recently, more people have gone to the county, and many of them bring big bags to the county. thing.

Making money from these things I bought this time is a trivial matter, but I want to give everyone a concept that Zhangjialing can consume. When these cheap and practical things spread in the village and spread to the surrounding villages, it will bring more than just to my village. The positive impact will be very important to the entire Ganjing Township when the Guanlukouzhuang base is established and built as a market in the west of Ganjing.

50 rack wheels were tied to the trunk of the tractor, and with so many things in the middle, Zhang Guodong couldn't go fast.Although the government does not prohibit tractors from running around on the national roads in urban areas at this time, the shortcoming of limited cargo capacity and slow speed makes Zhang Guodong want to buy a large truck.

The tractor went all the way to Liquan territory, Zhang Guodong only met a group of people blocking the car, he gave him a dollar and let them go as long as there were only two people who could talk to each other.At the road section where the conflict occurred last time, Zhang Guodong didn't see anyone blocking the car today, and he drove directly to Kun County without any trouble.

After refueling in Kun County and filling up two oil barrels, Zhang Wenbin was already eager to try. He listened carefully to Zhang Guodong's mechanical knowledge taught him along the way, and couldn't help but want to try it out.

"Now you do it yourself, I'll watch you drive...Start with the crankshaft, yes...Step on Linghe first...First gear...Try to step on the accelerator slowly..."

Under Zhang Guodong's guidance, Zhang Wenbin was able to drive the car normally, but there were times when he was in a hurry and forgot about the accelerator and brakes.

When we arrived in Yongkang County, it was already past 7:[-] pm. Zhang Guodong replaced his cousin and drove the road to Fangou. By the time he reached the intersection of Guanlu, it was already dark.

Back home, what Zhang Guodong didn't expect was that all the doors and walls of the house had been demolished. I heard that Zhang Guodong's family was building a house today. Not only the second team, but many people from the first team also came to help.Now the yard is in a mess and Zhang Guodong can only put his things at Uncle Wu's house.

"Brother Guodong, don't worry! Put the things in my house and we can sell them to you. If you write down the price of all the things, my mother and second sister can help." Zhang Wenbin said, patting his chest.

"That's fine, it's just your belly..." Fifth Aunt's stomach has grown significantly recently, and she probably won't be far away from giving birth.

"There are still more than 2 months left! It's okay..."

A cart of stuff was finally moved to Uncle Wu's house, all the iron guys were moved to the woodshed, and the clothes were moved to the children's rooms.

"Tomorrow, I will find two beautiful clothes for Wen Qing, Wen Shu, and Brother Yin, and then make a belt for all of you. Only when we use others can we see it and buy it, right?"

On the second day, Zhang Guodong started pulling stones again. He lay about ten times a day until after 5 pm. He earned about 400 yuan a day. He didn’t want to collect stones from farther places. It would take too much time and money. It must be able to earn more.

After pulling the rocks in the afternoon, Zhang Guodong unloaded the carriage and taught Guotao and Wenbin how to drive a tractor on the main road. Although Zhang Guotao learned the basic operation after a long time with his brother, he was better at driving a tractor than Zhang Wenbin. I made a belt for my parents, younger siblings, and my aunt's family with the artificial cowhide I bought, and now everyone still uses the rope to tie their trousers!
In the next few days, Zhang Guodong asked Second and Guotao to take turns pulling rocks with him. Every time the car was empty, he asked them to do it himself a few times. Slowly, he let his two younger brothers drive, and he just sat on the sidelines and gave instructions. .

The sale of various iron tools in Zhangjialing has spread to the nearby villages. In the past few days, people from Zhaojiayuan and Liujia Village have been coming to Wenbin to buy more iron tools. Get yourself one.

According to the belt price given by Zhang Guodong, the cheapest belt is only [-] cents, and the most expensive is only [-] cents. This price is so cheap that even the poorest families can afford it. More and more people go to Zhangjialing to buy belts. more.

On this day, two walking tractors came to Zhang Guodong’s house. Zhang Chenglin also used bricks to build the partial house this time.

"Brother, where is your brick factory! How much is my brick?" Zhang Guodong gave the other party a cigarette.My father was in charge of building the house at home. He had never heard of a brick factory in any village in Ganjing Township.

"We are all from Mujing Township. The price for a piece of brick in the factory is 8 cents, and the shipping fee is 4 cents to bring it to you, which is 5 cents. In addition, the loading and unloading fee is [-] yuan for [-] bricks."

Mujing Township is located in the north of Ganjing Township, and it was not easy to transport it two ditches away, but the transportation price accounted for almost half of the total price.

Zhang Guodong found his father and asked about Brick.

"The price of bricks here is the same. This time there are 500 bricks in total, and a deposit of [-] yuan has been paid. These tractors were found by your fourth uncle in the brick factory. It doesn't matter if you have money, you can't find them."

This kind of small walk-behind tractor can only pull 7 to 800 bricks at one time, and earn more than 30 yuan in one trip, which is much more than Zhang Guodong earns by pulling stones. Moreover, pulling 25 bricks at one time with a 2500-horsepower tractor is easy. Might as well do it yourself.
