Rebirth to create happiness

Chapter 7 Chapter 9

Although Yushan County is a poor county, because of the existence of jade mines in the past, the traffic is fairly developed.Although the mine veins have dried up in recent years and the mine staff have withdrawn, the repaired train roads have been preserved, and dozens of trains pass through Yushan County every day.

Under the threat of Zhao Zhizhi, Zhao Cheng became a corn breaker, and the other boys were too embarrassed to run off alone, so they stayed to help.At the beginning of the business, Zhizhi also didn't know what to do, and didn't dare to break more, so she gave up when there were more than 100 pieces.

Zhizhi waited until she finished breaking the corn before remembering that she had bought nearly two acres of corn. She couldn’t explain it to her parents. If she couldn’t explain it, it meant she wouldn’t get any help from the adults in her family. There was nothing to store such a large pile of corn How to take it away?

In the end, Tu Xiaopang was clever and said, "Chengzi, isn't your grandma's house not far from here? Let's take the corn to your grandma's house first, and how about cooking a few to try?"

"Hmph!" Zhao Zhizhi gave Tu Xiaopang a sideways glance, and knew that Tu Xiaopang had no good intentions and came up with an idea to gain some advantage.

Yang Hua stood aside and didn't make a sound. He knew that in Tu Xiaopang's circle of friends, he had no right to make a sound when no one asked him.

Liao Qing's eyes lit up when Tu Xiaopang mentioned boiled corn, and then he lowered his head and said nothing.What happened today is really embarrassing. In his 14 years of life, there has never been an embarrassing incident of asking a girl to help him out. Although corn is delicious, he is shameless.

"Little sister, let's go to grandma's house! I'll go to grandma's house first to get two sacks to put corn in, okay?" Zhao Cheng also looked at Zhao Zhizhi longingly, God knows he is really hungry.

"Okay!" Zhao Zhizhi said briskly, "Let's go to my grandma's house together later, and cook the corn to fill us up, but..."

"Zhao Zhizhi, just say what you want! Jiji Waiwai is really like an old woman." Tu Xiaopang muttered.It was the first time that I found out that Chengzi's sister was really cunning, she looked like an old fox. I really didn't know how such a simple and honest person as Chengzi had such a younger sister who refused to take any losses.

"Let's sell corn together in the afternoon, none of you are allowed to slip away." Zhao Zhizhi was very happy. With a few more boys to help, the speed of selling corn will definitely increase. She is not familiar with the other two boys. He Tu Fatty is a lazy master anyway, and she can be regarded as helping them to relax.Seeing the dejected faces of the boys, Zhao Zhizhi paused and said, "If the sale is good, I'll give you wages!"

"Really?" Zhao Cheng's eyes lit up.In this era, things are not rich enough, and adults don't earn much, so many children don't have pocket money. Zhao Cheng is considered a favorite at home. After a month, his mother gives at most one yuan in pocket money.

Tu Xiaopang is better, he can get two pocket money from his mother every month, and his aunt will give him one yuan and fifty cents from time to time, plus his sister Tu Meili basically doesn’t spend money, her monthly Almost all the two yuan went to Tu Xiaopang.

Liao Qing didn't like Zhao Zhizhi's promised wages, but he was really greedy for tender corn when he didn't care what Zhizhi said just now.As for Yang Hua, there is always Tu Xiaopang wherever there is Tu Xiaopang. If he can get extra wages, he will definitely be happier.

Under the double offensive of corn and money, a few people cooked more than 100 sticks of corn before two o'clock in the afternoon, and of course they also got a round stomach.

Grandma Zhizhi was not at home, which saved Zhizhi a lot of saliva to explain.Grandma Zhizhi lived in a small private courtyard, which was kept clean.The old man also planted a few plots of vegetables, and every week he took time to go to Zhizhi’s house to deliver some vegetables, and sometimes they would sell them on the street if they were too much to eat. Today, he may also have gone to the county town.

A few people didn't hesitate after they were full, they took a few clean bamboo baskets and filled them with corn, Zhizhi also covered them with a clean white cloth.When Tu Xiaopang took Liao Qing out to play, he rode his father's bicycle. Knowing that Yang Hua's family didn't have a car, he simply rode his old aunt's bicycle.As a result, five and a half-year-old children rode three bicycles and came to the train station square in a mighty way.

The square is not too big, but there are still many people.A few people put on a bicycle tripod and sold corn on the spot.

The freshly cooked corn exudes a burst of fragrance, making passers-by salivate. "Selling tender corn! Freshly baked tender corn costs [-] cents a piece, don't miss it when you pass by!" The clear and crisp selling sound rang out, making the eyes of the people around brighten.

Zhao Cheng opened his mouth wide and looked at his sister who was yelling. If it wasn't for the fact that the person in front of him was exactly the same as his sister, he really wondered if his sister had been swapped.His grandmother would sometimes sell the inexhaustible green vegetables grown by her family in the county town, and every time my sister saw it, she would hide away.Grandma saw it once and felt very sad.

"Little sister, your corn costs fifty cents a piece, isn't it a bit expensive!" A middle-aged man in a shirt and trousers came over and asked with a briefcase.

"Not expensive, not expensive," Zhao Zhizhi hurriedly replied, "Uncle, look! This tender corn is just picked from the field, full of grains, and full of sweetness. Besides, people in the provincial capital always like to eat this kind of corn." Boiled corn."

The middle-aged man was probably moved by Zhao Zhizhi's saying that people in the provincial capital love to eat, so he didn't bargain any more, he just paid five yuan for ten sticks, took them and hurried to catch the train.The people next to them saw it, and felt that fifty cents was not too expensive to try something new. You have one and one for me, and in a short while, a lot of people will surround you.

Seeing the booming business, Zhao Zhizhi smiled happily.In order not to waste her rare popularity, Zhao Zhizhi decisively kicked away Zhao Cheng and the others when two-thirds of the corn was sold and went back to break and boil the corn, while she stayed and continued to sell corn.While waiting for Zhao Cheng and the others to deliver the corn, Zhao Zhizhi borrowed a stool from the aunt selling tea eggs to rest.

"Girl, the business is good!" said the aunt selling tea eggs with a smile.

Zhao Zhizhi looked at the woman in front of her. She was in her forties, with an oval face, double eyelids, and the clothes on her body were not of good material, but her whole body was tidy and clean, and her big eyes showed a peaceful smile.It's a pity that when he walks, one foot moves little by little, and he is a lame man.

Seeing Zhizhi looking at her legs, the aunt didn't care, and said with a self-deprecating voice: "The problem I have suffered since childhood is polio. .It’s been more than ten years now!”

Looking at the disabled but positive aunt, Zhao Zhizhi had a thought in her heart. "Auntie, do you think my corn business can be done?"

"Girl, your corn is a fresh food that has just emerged, and it will definitely be popular for a while. Didn't you just say that! People in the provincial capital now like to eat this kind of green corn. Your corn business, at least It can be popular for two months." It happened to be the aunt's business vacancy, and she didn't resent Zhao Zhizhi's business and took away some customers just now, she said with a smile.

"Then...Auntie, is she interested in doing this business?" Zhao Zhizhi raised her head, staring at the auntie and asked.

"Don't worry, my aunt, I can't do this business even if I want to." The aunt patted her disabled leg regretfully and said, "My family lives in a county town, which is regarded as an urban household registration. There is no field or land at home, and there is no place to grow crops." .”

''How about it, auntie," Zhao Zhizhi thought for a while and finally made up her mind: "Look, we bring you this corn every day. If you want to sell boiled eggs anyway, just add an aluminum pot and cook and sell them here every day. Business Take good care. "

"This... how embarrassing this is." The aunt rubbed her hands and said, "Your business is so good, why do you still give it to me?"

"Auntie, to tell you the truth, we are all still students, we have to go to school except on Saturday and Sunday, no matter how profitable the business is, we can't delay school, right?" Zhao Zhizhi confessed to her. "That's that," the aunt smiled and continued, "I don't know what price you give me for the uncooked green corn? You know, my environment is not good, the price is too high... "

Zhao Zhizhi didn't blame the aunt's frankness, it was true in the first place, a business that seemed to be so profitable was transferred as soon as it was said to be transferred, and everyone was neither relatives nor relatives, so it was understandable for the aunt to be afraid that she would give a high price indiscriminately.

"Auntie, I'll have someone deliver this corn to you. You can give me [-] cents for each corn! You also saw that I sold it for [-] cents just now, so I should make a pretty good profit after a day." Zhao Zhizhi hurriedly said a price.

This price is two or three times higher than the price of the old farmer's entire field of corn.But Zhao Zhizhi didn't want to set the price too low.First of all, they are the only ones to do this boiled corn business this year, and the corn will grow old before others follow suit, but there is no guarantee that someone will follow suit next year.Secondly, she didn't want the aunt to sell it too cheaply. If a new item was sold at a too low price at the beginning, it would not be able to raise it in the future.She also wants the old farmers to be able to sell the green corn for [-] cents next year, so as to increase their income!Besides, the aunt's purchase price of [-] cents is sold for [-] cents, which is more than half of the profit, which is not too small.

"Okay, okay, okay!" The aunt said happily: "Thank you, little girl, I have some tea eggs here, let's eat together when your brothers come back later!" After finishing speaking, she picked up a plastic bag and packed them Just stuff five tea eggs into Zhizhi's pocket.

Zhizhi jumped up blushing, and hurriedly gave way, but the aunt refused, so she had to accept it. In the end, she had to secretly throw two yuan in the money box of the aunt, and it was regarded as buying the tea eggs of the aunt.

After a while, Zhao Cheng and the others came back, bringing back more than 200 pieces of cooked corn.Zhao Zhizhi started a hot sale again.

Zhao Zhizhi, the others, and the aunt didn't realize that there was a security guard from the patrol team on the other side of the square. They saw a few half-grown children selling things like crazy, so they rushed to the captain and said, "Captain, who are you?" A kid came here today to sell and didn't pay the booth fee, should we go and deduct their things?"

The captain glanced at the corn sellers and the bicycles beside them, his face changed, he slapped the team member on the back of the head and said, "Be smarter when you're on patrol, don't offend everyone. !"

"What?" The team members asked dumbfoundedly: "Then they are only a few half-children, at most they are students, so you are afraid of offending them?"

The captain was about to die of anger, raised his hand and slapped him again, and said in a low voice after the slap, "Wu Laosan, did you see those bicycles beside them? The license plate numbers on them are those of the county party committee leaders. Look at that little fat man again." The captain nuzzled at Tu Xiaopang and continued, "That little fat man looks just like Secretary Tu Yuanshan, so he must be his boy."

"Ah...?" Wu Laosan was stunned: "The children of the secretary's family still use it to set up a small stall?"

"Hey! How can we figure out those people's thoughts? Maybe they are tired of being young masters and want to come out for a change! Or the leader deliberately let the children come out to get down-to-earth in order to experience the fruits of reform and opening up!" The captain said Confess with confidence: "Remember me clearly, don't see that you don't know each other, and make trouble to find them who smashed your job on the head." - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - －－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－（Yueer remembers when she was in the 80s in To buy a bicycle, you have to go to the police station to register, take a number plate made of a small iron sheet, nail it on the car, and engrave the same number on an inconspicuous place.
