Reborn to be rich

Chapter 38 Management Fees

"There are empty seats in front, everyone sit! I'm Uncle Jiu from Guodong, I don't know your name yet!" Uncle Jiu wiped a bowl by himself and gave Bai Yun half a bun.

"My name is Baiyun, nine... nine..." Baiyun called out several times but failed to do so, which made her lower her head and not speak with a face of self-blame.

"Don't worry, don't worry! It won't be too late to see you at your wedding, and then you have to toast Uncle Jiu." Uncle Jiu laughed.

Only then did Baiyun laugh. He found that Uncle Jiu was actually quite cute.

People in Baiyun Village are very envious when they see this place, and they are wondering what kind of person Zhang Guodong is, and why so many people are so enthusiastic when they hear Baiyun. A bowl of mutton steamed buns costs 5 cents. A group of women and their children are all in one bowl no matter how big or small they are, and the total is more than 20 bowls!
Seeing that Baiyun was shy, Uncle Jiu didn't say much. He chatted sentence by sentence with the people in Baiyun Village nearby, and it didn't take long for him to understand the affairs of their family.

Just halfway through breakfast, suddenly there was a loud sound of gongs and drums from the direction of the Zhangjialing Brigade Headquarters. The gate of Qingyun Temple was slowly opened by two monks. The sound of gongs and drums began to spread towards Qingyun Temple. Many people at the temple fair turned their heads look back.

"Don't worry, it will take more than ten minutes to come." Uncle Jiu heard the voice and signaled Baiyun to eat for a while.

Although Baiyun is not tall, she is very thin. She is the slowest eater in Ganjing Village's group, which may be the reason for her own image.

Bai Yun nodded slightly to indicate that he knew that it was Zhang Ping's voice coming from outside.

"Sister-in-law, my elder brother will be playing the head drum in a while, you must watch it!" Zhang Ping walked into the mutton steamed bun shop and sat beside Baiyun.

Bai Yun felt that the neighbors beside him saw him smiling more happily, and there was more sweetness in his heart. After a quick meal, he went out of the tent with everyone and raised his head to look in the direction of the drum team.

Zhang Guodong and his grandfather stood on the tractor, because the head drum was too big for the four of them to walk, so they borrowed the tractor this time. Zhang Wenbin drove the tractor with pride on his face. The tractor drove very slowly, and there were many pedestrians on the main road entering Qingyun Temple Give way, dragging the fuselage is followed by numerous gong and drum teams, and the Yangko team follows the gong and drum teams.

At nine o'clock in the morning, it was Qingyun Temple that was the most crowded. The gong and drum team walked through the busiest area. The fields on both sides of the road were crowded with people. Zhang Wenbin stopped several times because the children in front of the tractor didn't know how to give way.

From a distance, Baiyun saw Zhang Guodong wearing a yellow vest and a yellow turban, beating the big drum attentively. According to the rural custom, the head drum may not be the best in the village, but it must be the most prestigious and popular one.

Seeing the crowd around them concentrate on watching the performance of the gong and drum team, Bai Yun tried to wave to Zhang Guodong, but how could Zhang Guodong hear it in such a noisy environment.

The tractor arrived at the gate of Qingyun Temple. The abbot of the temple came out from the gate, followed by two monks on both sides, and more than 20 old laymen behind him. The abbot led the monks and laymen around the tractor and sprinkled the tractor with water. Zhang Wenbin Only then did the car enter slowly.

Entering the temple, the gong and drum team and the Yangko team walked around the temple. People who came to visit the temple fair crowded into the temple. After burning incense, I donated the money I had prepared earlier to the merit box.

Although the people in Ganjing Township are poor, they are extremely generous in donating money to the temple. Everyone donates a little bit, and others donate a dime or two. Qingyun Temple will not be closed for many years, and there will be no villagers. If someone comes in to steal things, if someone is really hungry and can’t open the pot, at least a bowl of porridge will not starve to death here, so the relationship between the temple and the rural people is delicate at this time.

The gongs and drums went around the temple and returned to the entrance of the upper hall. The abbot took out two amulets and hung them on the necks of Zhang Guodong and Zhang Yuyan himself. The thundering gongs and drums ended suddenly, and the whole world seemed to be quiet.

"Brother, my sister-in-law is here!"

As soon as Zhang Guodong put down the drum hammer, he heard the third sister calling him in the distance. He looked at Bai Yun, who was wearing a white shirt, with a few whips tied on his head, and looked down shyly, not daring to look at him.

Jumping off the tractor, Zhang Guodong quickly took off his costume and threw it on the car, then squeezed towards Baiyun.The people around also knew that he was the one who was leading the drum just now, and they stepped aside for him one after another.

"When did you come?" Zhang Guodong suddenly didn't know what to say.

"I came here with the villagers in the morning. My dad rode away before dawn. I haven't found him yet. By the way, thank you for the beef. It's delicious!" Bai Yun looked up at her blushing. The sisters-in-law who were with her also walked away wisely.

"It's fine if you like it. I haven't got the beef head and beef leg that I made last time. I'll stew it tomorrow. The beef hamstring is delicious." Zhang Guodong felt like a fool, he didn't speak like himself anymore, and he was alive. It was the first time in his two lives that he felt this way. Bai Yun was beautiful, lively and energetic, and no one disliked him. He could feel that the other party was also interested in him, so he didn't back down anymore.

"En..." Bai Yun nodded lightly, blushing like an apple.

Zhang Guodong suddenly saw the third sister looking at him with disgust. Zhang Ping never thought that his eldest brother also had such a side.

"What do you want to see? What's interesting about adults and children. Go back and help our mother." Zhang Guodong deliberately told Zhang Ping.

"Hmph! I brought the person..." Zhang Ping was talking and saw the elder brother handing over 5 yuan, and happily took the money and left.

"Have you burned incense yet? Let's go outside!" Zhang Guodong looked at Baiyun and said.

"My fourth sister-in-law and the others had a burn just now!" Bai Yun felt her heart beating violently, she tried her best to adjust her breathing and walked outside the temple, this is not a place suitable for dating.

After leaving the gate of the monastery, Bai Yun slowed down, Zhang Guodong followed behind her, feeling the distance between them was very close, Bai Yun blushed to the neck, it was the first time she was so close to a boy.

Zhang Guodong wanted to say something to understand Baiyun's affairs, but he didn't expect his mother's voice to come from afar.

"Guodong, come back and help, there are too many people to take care of the stall, you are still wandering around here!" Hu Yue'e had just finished using the toilet, when she saw the eldest son coming out of the temple, she yelled without seeing Baiyun walking in front.

"Your mother told you, you go! You don't need to worry about me!" Bai Yun betrayed himself by saying this with a resentful expression on his face.

"Why don't you come with me! My parents have seen you, go over and say hello!" Zhang Guodong said when he saw his mother leave.

"It's inappropriate!"

"If there's anything inappropriate, just treat us as friends first!"

Bai Yun thought about the fact that he took his neighbors to eat steamed buns in the morning, taking such a big advantage, but going to see Zhang Guodong's parents was really unreasonable, so he nodded in agreement.

The two came to the clothing stall, and it was the busiest time here. When Hu Yuee saw her son bringing his girlfriend in, she knew that she hadn't spoken to her just now. The girl finally waited for her son to call back when she had time. think.

"Girl, you're here too. Look at Auntie, I didn't see you just now. Son, take your friend out for a walk, I don't need you here." Hu Yue'e pushed Zhang Guodong away as she spoke.

When Bai Yun saw it, she smiled "puchi". She was amused by Zhang Guodong's mother's actions.

"Mom, it's the time when there are the most people. The neighbors and aunts are all helping me to get here. Don't worry about us. We can talk like this."

Hu Yue'e left after making sure that Baiyun was not angry, and introduced clothes to others.

"What can I do for you?" Bai Yun followed behind Zhang Guodong, not feeling unhappy about losing the space between the two of them. He watched Zhang Guodong skillfully deal with every customer's question, and soon sold 3 pieces of clothes.

"Collect the money for me first! Sorry for being too busy today..."

"It's okay, your business is so good that other people can't even envy you." Bai Yun only collected money and other people could devote more energy to take care of customers.

Qingyun Temple in Zhangjialing was so lively that it was beyond imagination. By noon, Yongkang County usually opened shops and stalls on the streets. There were all kinds of people selling clothes, cloth, toys, and juggling. Sell ​​mouths.

"Why do you ask me for one piece, and they only have fifty cents. Is it okay if I don't sell it?" Zhang Guodong suddenly heard a noise in the distance, and many people from Zhangjialing surrounded the front.He put down the clothes in his hand and signaled his mother to leave for a while.

Fights are the easiest during this kind of meeting, and Hu Yue'e was afraid that the villagers would fight with other villagers again, so she told him not to fight.

Baiyun heard that Zhang Guodong might fight when he went out, so he handed over the money in his hand to Zhang Ping who was on the side, and caught up with him and grabbed his sleeve.

"You don't want to fight today, okay?" Bai Yun knew that Zhang Guodong was good at martial arts, but she didn't want to see him fight today.

"Don't fight, just follow me if you don't mind." Zhang Guodong gave Bai Yun a relaxed smile, and Bai Yun threw away his sleeves.

Walking to the troubled place, Zhang Guodong heard a familiar voice. It was Mancang's younger brother, Manliang. Normally, Manliang was helping his brother with everything in the village. I don't know what he was doing here.

"Don't pay the money? If you don't pay the money, you've been lying around for a long time. Pay 5 cents and leave." Man Liang was followed by three people from the third team, and several villagers from the first team stood in the distance.

"Isn't this Uncle Manliang? Why don't you go to the temple to offer incense later, why are you arguing here?" Just as Zhang Guodong opened his mouth, the noise around him stopped, and a group of villagers saw Zhang Guodong going into battle and left behind Manliang, standing behind Zhang Guodong Well, they were also full of food and gas just now, and the villagers must unite in this kind of temple fair.

"So it's Guodong! I'm collecting booth fees, but this kid doesn't want to pay." Wang Manliang knew that Zhang Guodong might replace his brother at the end of the year, and the people from the second team in the village would talk about Zhang Guodong all day when they went out to talk, which shows that He has a high prestige in the second team.

"Who asked you to collect booth fees here?" Zhang Guodong said with a bad expression.

"What do you mean?" Wang Manliang looked at the other party and said with unabated momentum.

"Return all the money you have collected. You have no right to collect booth fees, and neither does the village chief. He stretched his hands here to make money. Go back and tell Wang Mancang, don't stretch out your hands that shouldn't be stretched out, or I will let you Spit out everything you have eaten in the past few years." Zhang Guodong said with a flat face, Jiushu, Heizi, Second Brother and other members of the second team and the first team all came from a distance when they heard this, standing behind Zhang Guodong, Wang Man The two villagers from the third team behind Liang also sneaked away when they saw this place, they would not offend Zhang Guodong for Wang Manliang.

"Okay, I'll remember today's matter! Don't be too arrogant, kid, you're not the team leader yet! Don't you have a few bad money? Just wait, today's matter will not be over." Wang Man Liang dropped a few harsh words and returned the money he had just received to others intact. Zhang Guodong watched him pay back the money in his hand before letting him go.

"Brother, you don't need to offend Wang Manliang today. Wang Mancang is the captain of the village team anyway. It's not worthwhile for you to have a conflict with him now." Zhang Guotao was a little puzzled when he followed his brother, usually Zhang Guodong was the smartest , it will always be farther than I thought, what happened today.

"Second brother, this Qingyun Temple belongs to our Zhangjialing, and it also belongs to the entire Ganjing Township. Today, it is bustling and bustling here, which is the result of our little bit of hard work. We charge a booth fee today, and we can collect some protection fees tomorrow. , when the time comes, no business people will come here, who else would be willing to come here. Don’t be fooled by the little benefits in front of you, let’s eat for future generations!” Zhang Guodong’s voice spread far away, and the quiet crowd around They all listened quietly, all the villagers in Zhangjialing felt like crying for some reason when they heard this.

"Okay, let's leave! People in Zhangjialing Village, if you have nothing to do, please maintain order! I'll treat everyone to dinner when it's over." After Zhang Guodong finished speaking, the surrounding Zhangjialing villagers booed. Thinking about it now makes my mouth water.

Bai Yun stood quietly behind Zhang Guodong. At this moment, she felt extremely safe. They felt that the man in front of them was like a mountain, able to give her the protection she wanted.

"Go back, I told you not to fight, right! Aren't you afraid of fighting?" Zhang Guodong joked that people in the village usually don't hit women when they fight, not to mention she is such a beautiful girl.

"You also said that you were worried about me just now!" As he spoke, he inadvertently grabbed Zhang Guodong's hand, Zhang Guodong reacted and his body paused, Bai Yun also reacted immediately, left Zhang Guodong and ran away shyly.

Until noon, the sister-in-law and aunts in Baiyun Village did not show up. Zhang Guodong found Baiyun's father.

The two walked side by side in the woods on the west side of the temple, where there were relatively few people. Zhang Guodong had just brought Baiyun to eat Liangpi, so he came for a walk.

"Everyone in your village respects you. I heard that you are going to run for the captain!" Bai Yun tiptoed and walked in the woods, turning around to see Zhang Guodong looking at him with a smile on his lips.

"Oh! It's not respect, but I have a tractor. Everyone has earned some money collecting stones in the village, so they are more polite to me. As for being the captain, I haven't thought about it yet." Zhang Guodong thought for a while and said.
