Reborn to be rich

Chapter 39 Harvest
Zhang Guodong took advantage of lunch time to wander around the gate of the temple with Baiyun. Although his mother told him to bring Baiyun to buy something and not rush back, the two of them just walked around casually. Suddenly Zhang Guodong saw a group of children surrounding the temple. Looking at an old man's game booth, the old man had a lot of fluff in his hand, and there was a team of one point under his feet.

"Guodong, why does the old man go to the 100 yuan place on the right when he pulls the pinball, and the others don't have it, and the turntable is rewarded with a small rubber band every time. This child has already spent almost one yuan. , I lost everything." Bai Yun was also curious when he saw this little game, and the two talked after watching it for a while.

"Where did the old liar come from? These pinball ejection and turntables are tricky. If someone can bounce it to 100 yuan, do you think this old man can afford it?"

These tricks of deceiving children have long been thoroughly analyzed by people in later generations, and the game is still very popular in rural areas. Zhang Guodong stepped forward and came to the old liar.

"I'm from this village. Hurry up and put away your deceitful thing, and return the money to other children. The children who went to the temple fair finally got some pocket money. Don't you feel guilty for cheating like this?" After Zhang Guodong finished speaking, the old man sneered. stood up.

"Young man, don't bully outsiders. I'm older than your father. I'm a liar for no reason. If you don't play, let others play. Don't hinder my business." The old man deliberately Say it out loud.

Zhang Guodong originally wanted to persuade the old man to quit, but he didn't expect that the other party was more righteous than himself.Those children were jealous after losing money, and wanted to make Zhang Guodong leave, but they didn't dare to speak when they saw his huge body, and they turned themselves into bad guys instead.

Bai Yun pulled Zhang Guodong's arm aside, it's fine for young people to fight, but if you dare to attack an old man, you will become a public enemy.

"Blind daters, friends! Come and see, here is an old liar who cheats children out of money, and uses these broken boxes and props to operate secretly, everyone come and see!"

Everyone didn't expect that Zhang Guodong would be louder than the old man at this time. Many people gathered around when they heard the commotion here. Many people in Zhangjialing also came over when they heard Zhang Guodong's voice.

Seeing this situation, the old man couldn't help but feel a little guilty. He closed the stool and was about to clean up the booth, and the people around him went over to stop him when they saw it.

"What are you doing, can I go away? There are so many people bullying an old man from outside, come on, people from Zhangjialing are bullying the old man!" Seeing that the situation was out of his control, the old man took the lead in cheering.

"Old man, I'm from the county seat, not a local, and we didn't touch you. If you're not afraid of what you're going to do." A middle-aged man who was dressed more stylishly came forward and said.

"You are with them, bullying me, old man..."

At this time, Heizi and Uncle Shiba came over with a few young people from the village.

"Brother Guodong, what's going on?" Heizi asked.

"When you meet a liar, don't do it first." Zhang Guodong said in a low voice.

There were more and more people watching. The old man was holding his three game boxes and refused to get up. Most of the people believed that he might be deceiving.

"You may want to know how this old liar deceives people. Let me tell you. This is the first iron ball game. You pay a penny for each bounce. The iron ball runs here to earn one point, here to earn two points, and here to earn five points. Here it is a dime, all the way to a dollar, and everyone feels that it is easy to play between 2 cents and a dollar! But who of you will try it.”

Heizi hurried forward, but the old man yelled not to let others touch his things, but no one would listen to him at this time, several people pushed him aside, Heizi pulled the rubber band and tried more than ten times in a row, but six times he failed to reach the limit. Point line, or pop out of bounds, go to the one-point position three times, one point to the two-point position once, and the big iron ball at the position of 6 points and 3 yuan can't stop no matter what.

"Brother, why do I get out of bounds as soon as I pass the 2-point line? It's too evil." Heizi asked puzzled, and the onlookers also thought it was abnormal.

"What else is there, there is a magnet on the other end of this wooden box! Your iron pinball will definitely go out of bounds with a little force, and you are lucky to be stuck on the 2-point line."

After hearing Zhang Guodong's words, everyone suddenly realized that Heizi opened the game box without saying a word, but there was a long magnet hidden inside.

"Brother, it's true!" All the onlookers looked at the old liar, only to see that the old liar was surrounded by a group of people, and he couldn't escape even if he wanted to.

"Young man, you found the iron pinball problem, and the glass pinball and roulette game!" People passing by this game box can't help but look at it a few times. Since they know it's all a scam, they want to know How that is deceiving.

"Okay, let me tell you how these two are deceiving people. You bounce the glass ball to the top and fall down by yourself. There are 12 holes all the way down. Each hole represents how much money. Look at the bottom of this box. What is this pedal for? Big brother, please cooperate, where do you want this ball to go?" Zhang Guodong asked, pointing to the middle-aged man.

"It can still be like this, then I want the 50 yuan on the left." He pulled the spring, and the glass ball flew straight up, entered the top fork, walked left and right all the way, and finally stopped at 50 yuan There.

"How do you use this wooden pedal, it's so powerful?" A passerby asked.

"It's very easy. There are small springs on the left and right under the box. You want it to move slightly to the left and left, and you need to force it to the right and right."

"Then, what about this turntable? Why is it empty every time, at most I will give you a rubber band to pass the clip." Uncle Shiba pointed to the last compass.

"You'll know this when you come here and see for yourself." The people around looked at the bottom of the turntable together. It turns out that not only is there a magnet under the turntable, but the precious radios and toys under the turntable are all set up with a slope. This is where I saw a ghost.

"Let me just say, you old liar, you cheated me of 2 yuan just now, return it to me quickly!" Uncle Shiba was anxious when he saw this, and went up to check for the liar.

"Don't be impulsive, let him return the cheated money to others, and you can make him into a big mess, and we can take care of ourselves." Hearing Zhang Guodong's words, everyone around who originally wanted to go up to deal with the old liar stopped. hands.

Zhang Guodong saw the old man knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing to him. In such a situation, he went to other villages to cheat and was caught. He was lucky to survive. Today, he was able to leave because the Buddha opened his eyes.

The old liar handed over all the money to Uncle Shiba, oiled his feet and disappeared into the crowd. Many people gathered behind Uncle Shiba and said how much money he had lost to enter. Zhang Guodong turned his head and left regardless of these.

"I'm sorry just now, I misunderstood you!" Bai Yun whispered after Zhang Guodong.

"Hey! Do you think I am a reckless man who solves problems with fists?" Zhang Guodong joked.

"No, no, I didn't think that way, I was just afraid that if you..." Bai Yun's explanation made the relationship between the two of them invisible, and they talked while walking in the market. Look, after a while, Zhang Guodong bought a lot of snacks in his hands.

"Don't buy it, let's go back! I'm going to find people in our village." After noon, many people were ready to go home.

"Okay, how about I drive a tractor to give you a ride."

"No need, you sent them off to make fun of me. What happened this morning is all your fault, Uncle Jiu. You insisted on inviting our villagers to dinner. There are more than 20 of them!" Bai Yun was still brooding over what happened in the morning.

"It's okay, then I will accompany you to the monastery to look for it."

The two walked to the stall of Zhang Guodong's house, and found that Baiyun's villagers were looking at clothes here. Seeing Zhang Guodong and Baiyun coming back together, everyone looked at Baiyun and laughed.

"Girl, you can choose a few too! Seeing that you are here today, I am so busy that I didn't entertain you much!" Hu Yue'e said to Bai Yun with a smile when she saw the two of them coming back.

"No need, auntie! I have clothes to wear..." Before Bai Yun could finish speaking, Hu Yue'e packed all the clothes Bai Yun could wear, and packed a big bag in total.

Zhang Guodong had no choice but to watch from the sidelines, Baiyun kept beckoning him to stop him, but how could he stop his current mother, her heart was on fire!
"Sister Yun, look at your future mother-in-law who treats you well. We also took advantage of you today! These clothes are a lot cheaper. Take care of yourself, and we will go back first!" said the fourth sister-in-law. After paying the bill, he left with the villagers, but Baiyun wanted to leave but was pushed back by a few sisters-in-law with smiles, while Hu Yue'e watched and snickered.

It would be impolite to leave at this time, Baiyun returned to the booth and stood shyly inside the tent, Zhang Guodong was a little upset when he saw her.

"What's the matter, are you angry? My mother is like this, don't mind too much!" Zhang Guodong came to her and asked.

"It's not that I'm angry, it's just that... we two are going too fast, I'm not ready yet, your mother is just like this..." Bai Yun said with some embarrassment.

"You don't have to be afraid, just treat us as good friends, a very good kind, aren't you still in school? It's normal for good friends to do this too!"

"Ok?"

Baiyun finally let go of the burden in his heart, and took the initiative to help Zhang Guodong's family as a shopping guide. Now the temple fair is the busiest time, and people like to bring things before going home. There are also more people.

He was busy until 6:[-] p.m., when Bai Yun had just delivered a business order, he realized that it was getting dark. He looked at Zhang Guodong and signaled that he should go back.Although she helped Zhang Guodong's house for a day today, she sold nearly a hundred pieces of clothes by herself, and she felt a sense of accomplishment in her heart. She used to help her father sell peppers and only earned a few dollars a day!
"Let me take you to dinner! I'll take you back by bike later."

Zhang Wenbin drove a tractor to the county town to return gongs, drums and clothes in the afternoon, and he hasn't come back yet.

"Baiyun, you've been busy all day today, why don't you go back today, there will be a lantern festival in the temple tonight! You can watch the lantern festival then!" Hu Yue'e tried her best to keep Baiyun.

"No, auntie! My mother will be anxious if I don't go back at night, so I won't watch the lantern show! I will come again when I have a chance in the future." Bai Yun said politely.

Hu Yue'e knew that she couldn't force him to stay, so she asked Zhang Guodong to take Baiyun to dinner before sending him back. Before leaving, she asked Zhang Guodong to bring all the clothes and snacks he had prepared.

In the evening of July, red clouds appeared in the sky under the setting sun. Sitting on the back of the bicycle, the white clouds felt like the sunset glow in their hearts, full of fiery longing for the future.

Zhang Guodong rode on the bicycle, Baiyun put his arms around his waist, making everyone silent and no one spoke. When they arrived at the gap in Ganjing Township, Baiyun pulled down the hem of Zhang Guodong's clothes, Zhang Guodong slowed down and she jumped off the back seat.

"Just send me here! It's getting dark soon, so go back quickly!" Bai Yun looked at Zhang Guodong's eyes and said softly with his head down.

"Okay, then you go back! Take these things with you." Zhang Guodong took her things from the front of the car.

Bai Yun took the clothes and snacks and turned around, she didn't dare to look back at Zhang Guodong, her heart couldn't calm down like a deer was beating.

"Do you have anything to do tomorrow?" Bai Yun walked a few steps and suddenly turned around and said.

"I have to buy something tomorrow! Will you come tomorrow?" Zhang Guodong said with some expectation.

"Then do you want me to come?" Bai Yun felt that her face was as blushing as the sunset glow in the sky, and she was a little surprised when she said this.

"Of course I do! I'll finish the beef head and legs when I go back tonight, and you can try it tomorrow!"

"Ok!"

Bai Yun left happily. Zhang Guodong watched her disappear at the intersection of Ganjing Village No. [-] team before turning his head and leaving with a smile on his face. If there is a chance to fall in love, now he just wants to talk.

It feels so good to be in love!
Back home, the whole family has already returned. This is the first day of the Qingyun Temple Fair. The second and third days are the best time for everyone to shop and consume. Many of the necessities that rural people need at home every year are purchased from the fair. Yes, many people will bring their cattle, sheep and piglets here to sell tomorrow. This is the custom of the festival.

"Brother, come back! Come and see how much money we have earned today." Zhang Xiaoyue went crazy at the temple fair all day, and bought a lot of things after spending all the money given by her family.

"Mom, how's the harvest today?" Zhang Guodong looked at his mother's happy smile and asked.

"The clothes must cost more than 4000 yuan!" Of course, Zhang Guodong knows how to sell clothes today.

"My clothes stand is 4658 yuan, your fifth aunt's is 4 yuan and 1207 cents, and your father sold it for 8 yuan. We earned 5 yuan a day today. By the way, there is money for us to eat and buy things here."

Hearing this, Zhang Guodong was also surprised. These 8000 clothes had the highest profit, at least more than 2500 yuan. The profits of stationery, daily necessities and agricultural tools were more than 1000 yuan less than clothes. Their net income was nearly 4000 yuan on this day. The plateau is unimaginable.
