My Lord, you need to stand up!

Chapter 37: Storm on One Shoulder
The citrus business is great.

Weidong paid directly "on behalf of" the cannery to purchase the country oranges at three cents a pound.

A five-ton Dongfeng truck weighs 10,000 kilograms, and the payment is only 300 yuan!
The farmers in the commune would not be dishonest and would try their best to pick out the best and load them onto the truck themselves.

The porters brought here became supervisors, responsible for weighing, transporting and checking quality.

Seven trucks were loaded at the same time, half of which were fruit trees from the roadside orchards. The elderly, children, and young wives all came together to pick the fruits and put them on the trucks.

That’s 70,000 kilograms.

Even if many people can think of this business, it is difficult for them to come up with the advance payment of more than 2,000 yuan at this moment.

You Qili and his colleagues all resorted to seeking bank loans, or else the supply and demand parties had to meet, or else they had to bully the farmers and wait for delivery before paying.

But Weidong thought that he could only earn twenty times the money for a trip to get titanium ingots, so he could afford it even if there was a mistake. At worst, he could move to Jiangzhou to sell it!

With "strong" funds, one can afford mistakes in business, so one will naturally be simple and rough in doing things.

So every time a truck was loaded, they were given a truckload of cash, and there was cheering everywhere.

There was also a young wife who came to pour them water and tea.

Weidong was asked to give each driver a pack of Shancheng cigarettes, and the commune brigade leader was also given a pack of cigarettes.

Everyone drove back to the cannery on the outskirts of the city.

Dong Xueying was already waiting at the factory gate with her child in her arms, urging everyone to get ready and deliver the payment overnight.

The contract stipulated seven cents per pound.

The Finance Department has prepared 4,900 yuan in cash. Dong Xueying issued a receipt from the trading company, but gave the money to Weidong.

This guy went out and gave thirty dollars to each driver and ten dollars to the porter. They were all very happy!
This is their income from ten days of work!

Not to mention it's even more tiring at the dock.

There is still one hundred and eighty yuan to be handed over to the transportation company, and they can also get work points.

Lian said he would continue moving tomorrow.

Tomorrow we will try to visit two townships and make two trips!

Work enthusiasm has never been so high!
Dong Xueying sat in the double passenger seat covered with bedding, holding her child. She couldn't help but stamp her feet with joy: "Amazing! They all listen to your instructions. It was so difficult for us to find transportation before."

Wei Dong was puzzled by the fact that he had earned more than 2,300 yuan with tears in his eyes: "Why doesn't the cannery collect it themselves?"

Dong Xueying had to think for a moment: "Where can we collect it? The purchasing department has to travel all over the place to find it, and that costs money. The factory only has one truck, and the transport company can't handle it all. We have to go through the Commerce Bureau and transfer to a transport company to queue up. Lao You said that collecting it ourselves is very costly and the quality is poor."

Rang Weidong was not stingy: "The money is in the tool box in front of you. Take one thousand and we'll do it together."

Once again proved how great it is to make money by following the footsteps of the greats!

Dong Xueying was surprised and quickly waved her hands: "I get paid. The trading company pays me 80 yuan, which is very high!"

Let Weidong not persuade him: "This thousand should be given to you or to the company. It's up to you. The risks you have taken and the hardships you have endured in the past few months should be counted as money. Don't be fooled into working like a slave for the capitalists."

The salesperson looked at him in even greater surprise: "Who? Old You? He's not a capitalist. This is an agricultural, industrial and commercial cooperation that helps the people solve their problems!"

It was obvious he had memorized the textbook well. The veteran security guard from the tax compound wasn't fooled: "Hahahaha, no matter how much he tries to cover it up, it can't change the fundamental relationship that this legal person is the capitalist. Have you eaten yet? I'm hungry."

The main thing is that I saw some restaurants on the roadside were still open.

Dong Xueying said frugally: "I have cooked the meal and it is heating up on the stove. There is also the bacon that you like to eat. Auntie gave it to me last time."

Well, just go around to the other end of the old street and park near the pier to avoid Mrs. Shi.

This is how Weidong explained it to himself.

But when I walked into the old house which was extremely dim at night, I immediately saw the back of a young woman who started to busy herself at the stove.

After taking the child, Weidong suddenly realized that this was the scene he had dreamed of countless times.

The second most memorable moment was when I dreamed of playing basketball at the village entrance, and that was having such a home.

Wife and children are busy at the stove.

He should be considered one of the first left-behind children. His parents went out to work and he was raised by the elderly. After the accident, he hid in the tax compound and did not dare to face his hard-working parents.

The past sixty years have actually been quite lonely.

I didn't realize how much I longed for this kind of warmth.

Looking down at the little kid with wide black eyes, Weidong finally asked, "Is it... so hard for you to take care of the child?"

Dong Xueying had already brought the food over and smiled bitterly: "Of course it's hard, but as long as I see Xiaodie's face, it's worth it no matter how much hardship I endure."

Only then did Weidong realize: "It's a daughter?"

Dong Xueying gave him some bacon and said, "Well, it's been eight months. I hope you can study hard and get into university. You can become a learned and promising person like Teacher Shi."

Wei Dong immediately sneered: "She has no academic future at all. It's all because of her parents and elders. Even if she is terrible at studying, she can still come back to be a teacher. And she can't do any housework at all. She's just a scoundrel!"

Dong Xueying glanced at him quickly and then looked away: "Already... so familiar?"

Rang Weidong laughed out loud: "No need to get familiar with her. Just look at her fingers, they haven't touched water yet. And the way she dressed this morning, you can tell she doesn't work."

Dong Xueying brought more food over: "She... is she going to date you?"

Rang Weidong didn't hide it: "She is indeed a whimsical person with a devilish mind. You didn't see the scene when her mother scolded me for being a dirt-footed person who wanted to climb up to her family. She scolded me twice, and I hold a grudge."

The young woman was so shocked that her chopsticks stopped at her lips. "Why, how could this happen?" Weidong understood everything. "I'm a country kid, so they naturally look down on me. And I don't have a proper job, so they look down on me even more. Besides, they think their family is so noble. How could I be tainted by such noble blood? Just thinking about it makes me feel sick. It's basically because the city people look down on us country people."

The locals in the prefecture-level city immediately said firmly: "No! I never have!"

Straight men are not afraid of hurting others: "You are not an official, you don't have power and status. If you were rich, and your daughter wanted to marry a rural man, what would you think?"

As expected, Dong Xueying choked immediately.

But I felt only distress and tried to comfort her: "Don't worry about these opinions. You are already very capable. You can drive and speak foreign languages. Hehe, I heard her urging you to learn foreign languages ​​in the morning."

Weidong felt that these two words were a bit strange.

In short, they had a very happy meal. He wanted to wash the dishes but failed, so he just sat in the back and chatted with the child. Dong Xueying made him a cup of tea before going back to her own business.

With her back to him, he suggested that she go with him to buy oranges tomorrow: "I haven't been out and about for a long time. Let's take Xiaodie out to breathe some fresh air. When Xiaomei comes back the day after tomorrow, I can relax too..."

Looking back, he saw the baby sleeping soundly on the man's chest, and Wei Dong was carefully wrapping the baby in swaddling cloth.

A bit dumbfounded.

She raised her head and made eye contact with Weidong. Subconsciously, she was anxious to leave. She handed the child over to him and left quickly: "I have to move. I still have some things to move to Lao He's house. You should go to bed early and leave early tomorrow."

Dong Xueying also nodded hurriedly: "Don't move those things yet. Wait a few days to see how things go during the Spring Festival. Old You said there should be some changes."

Let Weidong hum.

That night, he finally lost sleep.

I tossed and turned for half the night making pancakes before finally falling into a drowsy sleep.

The next morning, when I went out, I saw Dong Xueying yawning and holding the baby. She was embarrassed to see him and said, "I was a little excited about the outing and couldn't sleep."

Then he gestured to the basket of vegetables he was carrying: "I brought breakfast and snacks."

Wei Dong took a look and subconsciously showed concern: "The food for the child..." But the thought got stuck in his throat. Wasn't that what he brought with him?

Dong Xueying's ears flushed as she got into the car and started talking nonsense: "Why do you have a tape recorder in your car?"

Wei Dong immediately felt proud: "Don't you know that any better car has a stereo? Yes, I'll go buy a few pairs of batteries."

So when I drove again, there was indeed a romantic atmosphere echoing in the cockpit.

The salesperson, of course, knew how to operate the recorder. He clicked the play button with surprise: "Ah, 'Homesickness'! I've heard this song before. I heard it's about where we are... Although yesterday has faded and we'll never meet again, how can I forget your deep affection..."

They all joined in singing, like little yellow orioles.

Wei Dong had a blank expression on his face, but his fingers were quietly tapping the steering wheel to keep the rhythm.

This was a pleasurable experience he had never had before.

My heart felt itchy and my whole body felt lazy as if I was floating in the clouds.

The baby also opened his eyes and looked at everything curiously.

Of course she would make a fuss if she wanted to eat breakfast.

In fact, young women in eastern Sichuan don’t hide the fact when feeding their babies, which made Weidong blush and he stepped on the accelerator very carefully.

Dong Xueying found out and couldn't help laughing.

The atmosphere is quite good.

The other cars sped up to the countryside, and the drivers quickly jumped out to smoke, wondering why Xiao Rang didn't get out.

His master winked and said, "The young wife is in his car!"

The others quickly said, "Oh, then let's go and arrange everything."

Men definitely have a tradition of working together in this regard.

In fact, Weidong was confused and just braked to find out how he arrived.
The sound of "Shepherd's Song" from "Shaolin Temple" that amazed people all over the country echoed in the cab:
"...the gurgling stream in the woods
green grass on the slope

Wild Fruit Fragrant Mountain Fancy
dog jump sheep run
......"

It seems to be the most beautiful scene that people all over the country hope for.

revel.

But when he turned to look at Dong Xueying, he didn't know what to say.

It was as if all the emotions were piled up in my throat, forming a tangled mess, and something was weighing heavily on my heart, preventing me from speaking.

The young woman bit her lip and reminded: "They are all waiting for you."

Wei Dong suddenly realized something and jumped up, grabbed a pack of cigarettes and jumped down.

The young and plump mother was left alone. She quietly withdrew her gaze from following the child, holding her child and sighing helplessly with a pout.

But looking at his daughter's innocent and tender eyes, he couldn't help but smile.

Gently wipe away the crystal from the corners of my eyes, and sing quietly along with the tape recorder:

"...the yellow flowers are young
Waist bold and bold
Practice martial arts and work hard
耕田 放牧 打豺 狼

Carrying the wind and rain on one shoulder
"One shoulder..."
