i have a mountain

Chapter 993
"It's not about the money..."

"Slow down, don't knock it, if this thing is broken, there's no way to fix it~"

In the middle of Yu Fei's speech, he watched in astonishment as the two drivers, together with Lu Shaoshuai and Du Ziming, were carrying a normal pot belly tank to the car, and beside him was a woman who could be in her thirties, holding a woman in her arms who looked at her. There is a child about one year old.

Seeing Yu Fei coming out, Young Marshal Lu, who was trying to move the tank, winked at him with a look of embarrassment.

"...This tank is useless at home except for taking up space, and it's heavy to move around~" The woman holding the child was still complaining endlessly.

The old man next to Yu Fei looked a bit ugly, he said to the woman: "Xiao Qiao, you sold your family tank, does your mother know?"

The woman said with a look of disdain: "I'm just selling junk, why can she still beat me up?"

"How much did you sell for?" the old man continued to ask.

"The big one is 100 yuan, and there are two small ones in the house, one fifty, and the total is 200 yuan, which is almost enough to buy a can of milk powder for the child." The woman teased the child in her arms and said.

"I didn't sell the vat in my family when they offered me two thousand. You sold three for the two hundred. When Xiao Liu comes back, I will definitely say you." The old man bewitched.

The woman's eyes almost disappeared from her smile: "Are you talking about your two broken vats again? Two thousand? I've heard you say it since I got married, and I haven't seen you sell it for so many years. , are you really waiting for the person who offered you two thousand?"

"If you want me to say, don't hold the gourd and don't open the ladle. It can be sold for two dollars. If you really kick your legs, you may not know who is cheaper."

It is estimated that the usual conversations between them are like this, the old man did not mean to become angry, but rather calm: "I will wait for the one who bids me two thousand, and if you are willing to sell it for 100 yuan, you can sell it for [-] yuan." Sell ​​it, just don’t cry when you lose money.”

After finishing speaking, the old man turned around and went back to his yard, closing the door behind him.

The woman said: "Don't talk to him, this old man doesn't know who he heard said that the tank in his house is a good thing, and he is willing to pay two thousand. If you ask me, he is either a liar, or the old man is crazy about money. Anyway, I haven’t seen anyone come to take him in these years.”

Yu Fei chuckled and said, "Old people always think more in their hearts."

"That's what you think about money," the woman said.

Yu Fei saw that she was quick to speak and do things, so he said in his heart: "I'm not familiar with your village, help me ask who is willing to sell the tank, as long as I make a deal, how about I give you a commission of five dollars?"

The woman twitched a bit: "It's so mean to ask for money...I'll go to the village and ask for you. There should be quite a few people who are willing to sell."

Looking at the woman who was walking in front of Pingpin Tingting, her belly full of manuscripts dissipated, she was not embarrassed, but polite to him casually, and he took it seriously.

Shaking his head, he glanced at Young Marshal Lu who had installed the big tank on the car and asked, "How did you start the business?"

Young Marshal Lu looked embarrassed, but he was interrupted by Du Ziming: "How else can we open the business? Isn't it just for the smell? If you want to talk about this dad, he is more sensitive to certain smells, and then the two of them It hit it off and it happened.”

The corner of Yu Fei's mouth curled up: "Why do you say that, it seems that there is some shady deal between the two of them? Didn't they give you too much money?"

"No, I won't pay you an extra penny if I'm watching." Du Ziming said with assurance.

"Then you are too beast." Yu Fei said to Young Marshal Lu contemptuously.

Young Marshal Lu rubbed Du Ziming's head first, then raised his head and asked Fei, "What do you mean by that? What kind of beast am I? I'm saving money for you, okay?"

"That's why I said you're a beast, isn't that true?" Yu Fei smirked.

Young Marshal Lu raised two middle fingers at him and said: "You waited for me, if I don't hurt you today, I will..."

"This is the money from the homestay." Yu Fei said solemnly.

"...Then~ I'm a beast, what can you do?" Young Marshal Lu hesitated for a while and said.

"Tie it up."

As soon as Du Ziming said this, the hairstyle he had just arranged was messed up again by Young Marshal Lu...

……

With the guidance of the acquaintances in this village, the work of Yu Fei and others is much easier, especially some young people, after hearing that the useless big tank at home can be sold at such a high price, they don’t need to ask their parents for instructions , I decided to sell it.

As for those elderly people, although most of them are waiting and watching, there are also those who are enlightened, so the car brought by Yu Fei and the others quickly filled two cars. , so the filling speed is very fast.

After completing a tour of a village, the woman got more than 100 commissions as she wished, and she kept telling Yu Fei that she still had a lot of these things at her natal home, and she could lead the convoy there if necessary.

It's just that after hearing about the village where her natal family lived, Yu Fei immediately shook his head like a rattle, and he almost crossed half of the county town, and it would take a long time to go back and forth.

After politely rejecting the woman's offer, Yu Fei and Young Marshal Lu squeezed into the only truck left, while Du Ziming followed the two fully loaded trucks back to the homestay.

"Two cars can be collected in one village, so we only need to visit a few more villages to complete the task." Young Marshal Lu said proudly.

Yu Fei shook his head and said: "You think too much, this village is purely a coincidence, I think it will be good if we can take one or two from the next village."

"You're purely pessimistic. It's up to me if you know how to do it. I'll recruit someone for you. Then I won't be able to fit this car." Young Marshal Lu said confidently.

Yu Fei spread his hands and said, "Okay then, I'll see your performance later."

……

Not far from Xiaofangzhuang, there was a small village with a dozen or so families. When the car drove into the center of the village, Young Marshal Lu jumped out of the car.

Picking up the electric horn, he shouted proficiently: "The big tank is closed, there is a big tank to sell~"

The chirping of insects and birds seemed to pause for a moment, and then they continued to do their own things. It's going to be autumn soon. If you don't hurry up, you will starve for the whole winter.

Looking at the empty village road, Young Marshal Lu picked up the horn and yelled several times. After a long while, an old lady on a walking stick came out of a slightly dilapidated courtyard and asked tremblingly, "What are you doing?"

As soon as Young Marshal Lu saw someone, he immediately cheered up: "Old lady, we are collecting big tanks, which are the big tanks used to hold food. Do you have them?"

The old lady poked her head in confusion: "Huh?"

"Close the vat, close the big vat." Young Marshal Lu's voice raised a bit.

"Send a big bun? Whose relative are you? It's not the New Year. What kind of big bun are you giving?" The old lady may be deaf.

Young Marshal Lu glanced at the electric horn in his hand. His good upbringing made him feel that it was impolite to hold the horn, so he raised his voice again and shouted: "Take big tanks, we are for big tanks, tank~that's it of."

He talked and gestured, and the old lady finally understood: "Oh, you are going to the countryside to collect junk, big tank, what do you want that thing for?"

Young Marshal Lu probably felt that the old lady wouldn't be able to hear the long speech, so he took out 100 yuan from his pocket, shook it, and said loudly: "100 yuan for a tank, do you have it at home? We want as much as we have."

"Ah~" The old lady's deafness may have recurred, and she stopped talking to Young Marshal Lu, shaking her head and turned to walk to her yard.

In the eyes of several people, she walked very steadily, with one turn and one seal, but when she just entered the door, she closed the door with her backhand. Hearing that sound, Yu Fei seemed to have locked the door from the inside .

Looking at each other, Yu Fei suddenly laughed, and said to Young Marshal Lu who was still confused: "Hey, come up, people think we are liars."

"What liar? Isn't this my money?" Young Marshal Lu shook the banknote in his hand and said.

Yu Fei explained: "Buying a big useless tank for 100 yuan looks a bit like a scammer. There have been many scammers in the countryside before, so they are all vigilant. Who knows what tricks you have, besides People don’t even know if your 100 yuan is real.”

"Am I that much of a liar?" Young Marshal Lu pointed at himself and asked.

"Who's liars don't engrave the word liar on their heads, and they can't tell it when they look at it. Anyway, as long as they think they are liars, they will do it across the board." Yu Fei said.

Young Marshal Lu asked a little depressed: "Then what should I do? This village seems to be the only old lady, and no one else has come out."

Yu Fei sighed and said: "This is the Village for the Lonely and Widowed Elderly. This village was originally small. In normal times, there may be some adults who take their children to school at home. Now it is summer vacation. They should all go to other places to reunite with their families, so There is no one."

Young Marshal Lu's expression froze, he turned his head to look at the locked door, and said, "There is only one old lady in this village, so doesn't she feel panicked? What if she has a headache and fever?" Yes, there is no one to take care of me."

"That's why I want to call back the migrant workers in our village." Yu Fei spread his hands and said, "After those young people took the apples from the elders, they forgot that the apple tree also needs to be taken care of. "

"Their filial piety is all on the mobile phone. In the circle of friends, no one puts themselves in the shoes of the elderly at home. When the children are at home, they will call home from time to time to ask about the situation at home."

"If the children come to my side, then they... don't say all of them, at least half of them will forget to call home and ask what's going on at home and how the old man is in good health."

"Because they have been instilled with the idea that parents are omnipotent and they don't need to take care of them. They didn't realize that those are all parents' excuses. They just don't want them to miss themselves while working hard."

"If things go on like this, they will neglect or even forget what they should have done. The elderly are unwilling to cause trouble for their children, but the children cannot forget what the elderly have done for themselves."

"Even if you have to run around to make a living, the old man's comfort may be your greeting. Even if you can't see the child, it's good to hear the child's voice."

"You touch your conscience and say, how long has it been since you called your parents?"
