Reborn to be rich

Chapter 41

Walking around under the Leopard Jade Tree for a while, there were more and more people here, Zhang Guodong stopped a few children who were going to climb the tree, and planned to leave with Bai Yun.

"Let me take you there! It's an old kiln in our village a long time ago. The wild jujube is the most delicious there, why don't I take you to try it." Zhang Guodong pointed to a red wild jujube tree in the distance.

"Okay, I'll listen to you!" Bai Yun followed behind Zhang Guodong and saw that the crowd behind him had gone away, so he walked next to him, swung his arms "inadvertently" several times and touched Zhang Guodong's hand, Zhang Guo stretched out his hand to hold her hand clasped in palm.

There are no ravines around Ganjing Village, so Baiyun is very unfamiliar with the mountain road. Zhang Guodong helped Baiyun walk through two slopes, and came to the old kiln. The cave dwelling here has been unoccupied for a long time but has not collapsed. The cattle and sheep in the rainy gutter like to Come here to hide from the rain.

"Don't look at the wild jujube fruit, but its trace element content is much higher than most fruits, and the taste is not bad." Zhang Guodong picked a lot of wild jujubes, and gave Baiyun some while eating by himself.

"Well, that's good! You told me yesterday that you were going to run for the village chief. Are you really planning to fight for the village chief?" At this time, all the village cadres in all villages are selected over 40 years old, and you can meet a 35-year-old Zhang Guodong is only very young at the age of [-].

"The country's policies have changed a lot these past few years. It has begun to encourage everyone to get rid of poverty and become rich. The old idea of ​​getting poorer and more glorious is gone forever. Everyone's life has slowly started to improve in the past few years. At least every spring begs for food. There are fewer people, aren't they?"

Baiyun didn't know what Zhang Guodong wanted to say, but she still sat beside Zhang Guodong and listened quietly. She could feel that Zhang Guodong's inner strength was so powerful, and the confidence and seriousness emanating from the deepest part of his heart were the most attractive to women. children's.

"The people's life is better, and the family has surplus food, so they have money to buy new clothes and snacks for their children. We are actually at this stage now. We are just hungry but the development is too slow. The south has already set up special economic zones. We are still in the field with all our minds, and I just want to change everyone’s living environment as much as possible, life is too hard!” Zhang Guodong said and looked into the distance, this is the first time he confides his heart to others, feeling the vague things before Suddenly it became clear.

"You have done a good job! With such a big stall in your home, an ordinary family earning a day's income would not be able to earn back for several years, and your ninth uncle said that steamed buns made with mutton were your idea." Bai Yun said, resting his head on Zhang Guodong Over their shoulders, the two looked at the small temple in the ditch clearly. A mountain spring flowed into the temple from the middle of the mountain and then gathered into a puddle there. Usually people can drink water and rest in the small temple.

"Which of your subjects is the worst now, let me hear your grades in this final exam."

"You are in the second class, are you going to give me a class? My English is the worst and I only got 32 points in this test. I am not good in chemistry and politics. The best is mathematics and physics." Bai Yun said her test results this time , Mathematics 116 points are four points short of full marks, physics is also a few points short of full marks, chemistry and politics are only more than 40 points.

"You have a serious partiality, and you don't have a good subject for rote memorization. You should work hard in the last year of high school! English is memorizing vocabulary, chemistry formulas, and politics. You should listen to the radio more! Improve your political awareness It’s easy to understand when you learn.”

After chatting for a while, Baiyun saw someone coming from a distance, and they also came from a long distance when they saw wild jujube. They got up and pulled Zhang Guodong up to go home. It was almost noon, and it was the first time for the two of them to have a heart-to-heart talk like this. The distance has been shortened a lot.

"Zhang Guodong, if you become the captain of Zhangjialing Village, what do you want to do?" The two were walking hand in hand on the main road, and Bai Yun suddenly asked Zhangjialing.

"The first must be to improve the environment in the village. Now the manure in our village is piled outside the courtyard, and the toilets are all next to the road. It is difficult for ordinary people to bear the smell. There is also a fishing pond. The water has not been cleaned for many years. It used to be There are also lotus flowers, frogs and so on, and now there are the most flies. There is also the road from the third team to the first and second teams, and the road from the fourth team to the third team, which must be repaired. The rest is how to make everyone earn more money. It’s about fighting for a few more buckets of food.” Zhang Guodong didn’t say the big plan in his heart, and if he said some of the thoughts in his heart, it would definitely scare her.

"I believe you can do it, but you have to be mentally prepared. Everything is not as easy as you think. There must be difficulties in doing it. You must pay attention to your own safety at all times and try not to fight. I know you are good at it." , but it is inevitable to encounter some unforeseen things..."

Zhang Guodong took Baiyun back to his home. At this time, everyone in the village went to the second team of the temple, and the street seemed a little deserted. Hu Yuee returned home at some point, saw Zhang Guodong and Baiyun back, and enthusiastically took Baiyun into the house.

"Girl, sit down, don't mind if the house is a little small, come and drink water!"

Zhang Guodong looked at his mother's enthusiasm a little too much, but Bai Yun didn't seem to feel too awkward. The way women get along with men is really different. Seeing his mother chatting with Bai Yun abnormally speculatively, Zhang Guodong couldn't get in any words and it became superfluous. .

The tendons of the beef tendon had cooled down well. Zhang Guodong cut a piece with a knife and tasted it was very good. He cut another plate of beef head meat and warmed up the beef head soup. Bai Yun ate it full of praise. When we met in the afternoon, Zhang Guodong brought 5 catties of beef tendon and 5 catties of beef head meat. In this era of material scarcity, giving cooked meat as a gift is the most sincere way.

The three days of the Qingyun Temple Fair passed in a blink of an eye. Every day from early morning to late at night, the Qingyun Temple was extremely lively. Uncle Jiu bought a total of 9 half sheep in three and a half days, and finally earned more than 600 yuan. Zhangjialing became a sensation.

Heizi's family made a fortune in a low-key way. Although Liangpi is cheap, the advantage lies in the large quantity. The three-day conference earned more than 400 yuan.Uncle Yi Gong and Li Ping's family also earned 190 and [-] yuan respectively, which is already considered very good in rural areas.

On the afternoon of July [-]th, Zhang Guodong was packing up his booth and preparing to go home when he saw Wang Le walking towards him.

"This temple fair is over, why don't you go back?" Zhang Guodong and Wang Le were classmates since childhood. Wang Le's personality is calm and flexible. Although he usually looks carefree, he has his own ideas.

"Uncle Mancang borrowed money from door to door in our third team today, and went to Qindu city to sell tractors this afternoon. He said in every house in the third team that you charge everyone's stones to make black-hearted money. He may earn money this time in the bull and sheep market." Quite a few, you have to be careful." Wang Le walked up to Zhang Guodong and said quietly.

Wang Mancang has been selling cattle for many years. This time they are fighting at home in the cattle and sheep market. They acted as an intermediary to match business in the market. They earned 5 yuan and 10 yuan each. far.

"Thank you for telling me this, but it's his business that Uncle Mancang wants to buy a tractor, and it has nothing to do with me. He said that I collected stones to earn black money, and the villagers have their own scales in their hearts. Hey, I heard you You want to go to Chang'an for a break, don't you?"

Zhang Guodong was not surprised that Wang Mancang wanted to buy a tractor. Even if he sold the cheapest Dongfanghong walking tractor, it would cost 2900 yuan. Wang Mancang certainly didn’t have that much money.

"I originally wanted to go out and have a look, but the last thing I wanted to do was to go out? Who needs every survival skill, if you need it, I will do it with you!" Wang Le said the purpose of coming today.

It stands to reason that there are already three people driving the tractor at home, but Wang Le grew up with him, so since he opened his mouth, he couldn't ignore it.

"Okay, if you want to learn, you can learn how to drive a tractor with me! One yuan a day is enough for you to eat and drink!" Money is what it means, and now the second brother and Wen Bin also get this salary every day. He also heard from his father that the price of tractors in the village is subsidized. It has already risen to 300 yuan, and there are more people buying tractors. There is no harm in learning how to drive a door.

"Thank you, I'll go back and talk to my dad tonight." Wang Le said and left directly.I am very happy that Wang Le can take the initiative to ask Zhang Guodong to join him. After all, a high school graduate knows everything, whether he is running for the village chief or developing Zhangjialing later, it will be very important at that time.

When I got home in the afternoon, it was past nine o’clock in the evening when I packed everything up. According to the statistics of the harvest in the past four days, many clothes have been sold out, daily necessities, especially school supplies, are sold out, and the shelves and wheels have been sold out. The last ironware There is not much left, and the total turnover of more than 2 yuan shocked Zhang Guodong.

At this time, ten thousand households were very famous in a township. Ganjing Township had never had ten thousand households. Zhang Guodong’s family’s turnover exceeded [-] in four days, and the profit exceeded [-]. of.

"Mom, don't get too excited! It's not money if you put it in your hands, it's worth spending it. Tomorrow, Wang Le and I will go to Chang'an to replenish the goods, and then we can leave the daily necessities to Wen Bin's family to make! "Zhang Guodong sees that the stalls at home are too busy, and it's not a problem to let the fifth aunt help his house all the time, so he just let the fifth aunt do the daily necessities by himself, and buy clothes and farm tools by himself. Just take it with you.

Neither father nor mother rejected Zhang Guodong's suggestion, but let Zhang Guodong walk more in the village recently. At the end of September, the village cadre election began. Zhang Guodong needed everyone's support to run for the village captain.

"Guodong, where are you? You have earned a lot these days! Uncle Jiu is here to eat and drink again!" Zhang Guodong was talking to his parents when Uncle Jiu came with two sheep's heads and two bottles of wine.

"Uncle Ninth, you come here as soon as you come, why are you still carrying things? Afraid I won't feed you?" Zhang Guodong laughed, got up and took a basin from the kitchen, and made some beef tendons, and Hu Yuee brought three bowls The three fell down.

"Uncle Nine, your sheep's head tastes good, especially the brain. What's the matter with you looking for me today?" Zhang Guodong picked up the bowl, touched it, and said.

"Guodong! Uncle Jiu knows you have the best brains! Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to make so much money this time. I just went home and counted the money like this! But I'm in a dilemma. What do you think I should do in the future? What? This paomo can only be opened in our village, and it cannot be opened in other places, so I am embarrassed to come to you!"

Zhang Guodong understands Uncle Jiu's worries. In ten days or so, there will be a town meeting on July [-]th. Zhang Guodong can set up a street stall in the township to sell clothes, but Uncle Jiu can no longer do the mutton business. is not allowed.

"Mancang, the captain of our village, went to Qindu to buy a tractor today, do you know?" Zhang Guodong looked at Uncle Jiu and asked suddenly.

"What? He wants to buy a tractor to compete with you for business? This bastard is so unkind, Guodong, what do you say? If you say something, I will send someone to their house right now." Uncle Jiu was furious when he heard this. Get up, get up and go to Mancang's house to make trouble.

"Sit down! Why are you so restless? People are free to buy tractors. Doesn't the village also encourage everyone to buy tractors? Have you ever thought about selling one and driving it yourself? This time, the road construction in the village will at least last until the end of the year. , is a rare opportunity to make money." Zhang Guodong asked.

"Guodong, what are you talking about? How could Uncle Jiu steal your business..."

"Uncle Jiu, listen to me. The lack of stones in the village can't be filled with a few tractors. Isn't my Aunt Jiu from Xiling Village? The stones there are much easier to dig than in our village. You go from Xiling Village to the village on the road It’s a bit far, but it’s okay to run 5 or 6 times a day. I can’t go that far with just a tractor, can I?”

Uncle Jiu pondered for a while, he knew that Zhang Guodong had a lot of ideas, since he said that he hoped that he could do it, it would be bad for him to refuse.

"That's what you say, but I don't have enough money! I only have 800 yuan now. If I borrow from your fourth grandpa, I can only borrow [-] yuan at most. This is still far away!" Uncle Jiu was embarrassed.

"If you don't have enough money, I can lend you some. If you want me to tell you, don't buy a walking tractor. You can only pull one ton at a time, which is too little, and it is prone to accidents. Buying a 15-horse Red Star tractor can cost 600 yuan. But it’s easy to pull one and a half tons at a time. If you think about it, I will go to Chang’an to buy goods tomorrow.”

Uncle Jiu chatted for a while and left. Zhang Guodong saw the heat in his eyes. Now he earns 8 yuan for a ton of rocks, and 80 yuan for pulling ten tons a day. He can't earn back even a month by digging stones in the ditch.

In the early hours of the night, Zhang Guodong had already fallen asleep, and when he heard someone knocking on the door, the second brother opened the door and saw that it was Uncle Jiu, so he led him into the middle room.

"Guodong, I discussed it with your aunt. We will buy the tractor. She will go back to her mother's house tomorrow to borrow money. Your fourth master also promised to give me 500 yuan. I will go to Heizi's house, Liping's house, Yifeng's house, and Uncle Yigong's house. I borrowed 1100, you will lend me 300 tomorrow, and I will pay you back when your aunt comes back from her mother’s house."

For a while, Uncle Jiu has already collected 3400 yuan. Tomorrow, the 15-horse tractor will cost 3300 yuan, and the carriage will cost 400 yuan. This is only 300 yuan short.

"Okay, come to my house at 5 o'clock tomorrow morning, let's leave early, and have breakfast when we get to Kun County to refuel the tractor."
