On the whirring green train, Zhou Bingkun was not at all happy about going on a long trip for the first time in his life. He was even less interested in appreciating the beautiful scenery that changed along the way south.
He lay on the middle bunk of the sleeper carriage of the train and subconsciously placed his hands near the corners of his clothes. There is a mend made by Zheng Juan stitch by stitch, which costs 5,000 yuan. He had never seen so much money in his life, let alone owned it himself. He was nervous and felt like everyone passing by was staring at him and trying to get his money.
The train's sleeper berths are not the easiest to sit in, and there are not many people there. He felt that if it were an ordinary hard seat, he might be frightened.
So we nervously headed south to Pengcheng. Of course, it is not called Pengcheng at this time, but Baoan County. It would not be until January 1979 that Baoan was evacuated and Pengcheng was established.
After getting out of the car tiredly, he followed the crowd out of the station. After asking around, he found a fairly large hotel far away from the station and checked in with a letter of introduction. He knew that there were many people coming and going from north to south near the station, and it was an unsafe place for right and wrong.
After settling down, I went out to have a quick hot meal and then did nothing else. I returned to the hotel, locked the door, lay down on the bed and fell asleep. Afraid of losing his money, he never had a good night's sleep in the past few days when he took the train south.
After a dark sleep, he got up and went out to eat, and then started wandering around. Until he saw a young man wearing a black watch with a different style on his wrist.
"Hello, comrade, I would like to ask, where did you buy your watch?" Seeing his wary eyes, Zhou Bingkun said enthusiastically: "Don't worry, I don't mean anything else. I just look good and think about it." Buy two pieces and wear them for my son when I go home to make him happy."
…
"Old lady, what do you think of what I said?"
In the cafeteria of the First Municipal Hospital, after a long talk, Wang Yan looked at Qu Xiuzhen, who was sitting opposite and eating without a bite, with a smile.
This old lady is really proud of Zhou Bingkun and treats Zhou Bingkun really well. After all, Zhou Bingkun is down-to-earth, kind and enthusiastic, and treats others with sincerity. He is a serious, honest and respectful person. What's more, there was a life-saving grace. Zhou Bingkun never asked for anything or asked for help, so it was normal to be better.
This morning, the old lady went for a walk at the soy sauce factory. Of course, she said she was taking a walk, but she actually rode her bicycle all the way there. After all, the soy sauce factory is on the outskirts of the city, and the provincial party committee compound is in the city, so it's not close. She was also exercising. She would visit the soy sauce factory, sugar factory, and other factories she had managed on weekdays to learn more about them.
After visiting the soy sauce factory, I habitually asked the accompanying factory director about Zhou Bingkun's current situation. As a result, we learned from the factory director that Zhou Bingkun was suspended without pay, and the city leaders called to specifically approve it. She immediately found Cao Debao, who was good friends with Zhou Bingkun and was still working in the slag discharging workshop, and asked him. Seeing that Cao Debao didn't know, she went straight to the First Municipal Hospital. She knew that Zhou Bingkun's matter must be handled by Wang Yan, and they were a family member, so they must know everything.
Wang Yan was also familiar with this old lady. Zhou Bingkun had brought Qu Xiuzhen and Ma Shouchang here to prescribe prescriptions for them to take care of their health. Later, when they felt unwell, they would come over and have a good chat.
"What you said makes sense, and I also feel something about it." Qu Xiuzhen sighed: "But if you let Bingkun do that thing now, he is not legitimate."
"Bingkun is not the only one who is doing this now. Many people are doing it. They come in from Hong Kong Island, pass through Bao'an, and then spread to all parts of the country. As far as I know, there are many capable people in Jichun who have already done this. Ten thousand yuan household. Bingkun is not more than him, and he is not less than him. And old lady, you also know that Bingkun is too honest. The way he looks now, I can only say that he will not be hungry in the future, but if he wants to achieve something, That's not even interesting. You have to be enterprising, adventurous, and dare to think and do."
"Why do you have to be successful? Bingkun is such a good kid, but you are the one who ruined him."
Wang Yan shook his head and smiled: "How can it be wrong to want to be successful? Besides, don't you know what's going on in Lao Zhou's family? His eldest brother and second sister are both top students at Beijing University, and one of them is married to the daughter of a high official. A man is married to a famous poet. Where is Bingkun? He said he graduated from junior high school, but he actually graduated from elementary school. He married a daughter-in-law, and he was promised to someone else before. Yes, he took good care of his biological mother and did not let her do anything at home. Letting others worry about them and letting them feel at ease is indispensable.
But what about Byung Kun himself? During the previous reunion, when people met, they said that the children of the old Zhou family were promising and had two college students, but no one mentioned Bingkun. Also, you should also know that the old lady met her in-laws who are high officials not long ago. You didn't look at Bingkun's father, who was so happy, feeding himself, and was confused for two days. There were also neighbors from Guangzi Film who came to flatter me and build relationships. They complimented me so much that they didn’t even mention Bingkun.
Then tell me, he was born to the same parents. How can Bingkun feel better? Doesn't he want to do something to make his parents happy and proud? Don't you want to be able to proudly pat your chest when your father mentions it to others? Others mentioned it and said, 'Oh, the old Zhou family is amazing, the youngest son has a household income of 10,000 yuan', tsk tsk, that feeling..."
Qu Xiuzhen waved her hands and said, "Don't play tricks on me. After all, what he is doing is unfair. Then how can his father be proud? It would be great if he doesn't kick him to death."
Wang Yan took a sip of the soup and said with a smile: "It's just a small fight. Let him practice his courage first and let him go out to gain some knowledge. Don't worry, although it was illegal, you still don't know what Bingkun is like." Yes, there will be no problem. It’s still a long time, old lady, you have to watch it slowly.”
"Yes, you have more truths than I do. I won't say anything anymore. It has nothing to do with me anyway, so I'm just superfluous. And..." Qu Xiuzhen looked at Wang Yan unhappily: "Don't call me old lady. .”
"Okay, okay, Aunt Qu, Aunt Qu, that's it."
Wang Yan chatted and had lunch with Qu Xiuzhen, then sent her to the entrance of the hospital. He watched her ride her bicycle away before going back to continue her afternoon work.
Just like what he told Zhou Bingkun, people have a longer-term perspective and are more flexible. Qu Xiuzhen was also afraid that Zhou Bingkun would really go astray, so she understood and would not tell Zhou Bingkun that she would order it for him. After all, it was just unfair and it didn't harm anyone, so it wouldn't be that bad.
After a busy afternoon, Wang Yan and Zheng Guangming rode bicycles back to Lao Zhou's house.
Far away, I saw a car parked in front of Lao Zhou's house.
Wang Yan smiled and said hello to the driver who was standing beside him in a daze, then parked his bicycle in the yard, rubbed Wang Jianye and Zhou Jianbang's little heads, and led them into the house.
"Sister-in-law Dongmei is here. Why is there a car parked outside? Are you not going to school?"
Hao Dongmei smiled and said: "My mother sent a car to take me here. I didn't come to see you for something."
"Yeah." Wang Yan raised his head and motioned for her to continue.
Li Suhua beside her was smiling from ear to ear: "Dongmei is pregnant, come here and let you take a look."
Hao Dongmei nodded and said: "Yes, I didn't feel right this afternoon, so I went to the hospital for a checkup. I thought I was getting older after all, so I wanted you to see if there was anything I should pay attention to. I happened to come over to tell my mother the good news."
She was still very nervous when she spoke, but Li Suhua was too happy to notice. Zheng Juan, who was standing on the side, knew the situation. Zhou Bingkun had talked to her about it before, but she obviously wouldn't tell her.
And she came over to see Wang Yan because she was afraid that the child would be unstable because of the previous reasons, and she would be in trouble if it fell. If Wang Yan didn't tell the truth, she wouldn't even be able to sleep.
Li Suhua anxiously waved her hand and urged: "Xiao Yan, show her quickly first."
It's just after the National Day, and it's been almost a month and a half since Zhou Bingyi left. It's really the time. Wang Yan shook his head, smiled, and looked at Hao Dongmei: "Show me the hospital's inspection report."
Hao Dongmei quickly took the file bag on the side and was fully prepared. She knew that Wang Yan knew Western medicine because when she was seeing a doctor before, she saw a patient holding a film and asked specifically about it. What I learned is that everything related to the disease can be used.
After reading the examination report, Wang Yan took his pulse again, and after getting to know his physical condition, he said: "There is nothing wrong for the time being, but you are not young anymore, and there are still certain risks in pregnancy. You must be extra careful. I will give you a prescription." Medications that are used to replenish qi and prevent miscarriage should be avoided at the same time..."
Hao Dongmei's situation is indeed a bit bad, and there is indeed a possibility of spontaneous miscarriage. But in her case, once she miscarries, there is really little hope of having another child. Wang Yan gave a long list of precautions. In summary, he just stayed calm.
After listening to the elder's instructions, Hao Dongmei pondered for a long time, then looked at Wang Yan who was holding a pen and writing a prescription: "How about I take a year off from school?"
Wang Yan folded the prescription twice and handed it to her: "This is the best choice. There are not so many people at school. You are still safer and more secure at home. You can't be careless at this time."
Hao Dongmei's academic performance is not very good. In terms of talent, she is really not as good as the two brothers Zhou Bingyi and Zhou Rong. Any excuse that she is busy with work and delays her studies is just an excuse. Besides, her family conditions are good, so it doesn't matter if she takes a break from school or not.
"Okay, then I understand. Thank you, Wang Yan." Hao Dongmei turned to look at Li Suhua and Zheng Juan: "Mom, Juan'er, I'll go back first, and I won't stay home for dinner. I have to go back Let’s discuss it with my mother, she’s still waiting for news from me.”
Li Suhua waved her hand and said: "Okay, we won't miss that meal. Go back quickly and don't let your mother worry about you. You must pay attention. Listen to Xiao Yan and don't be careless."
"Don't worry, Mom, I know it. Let's go." Hao Dongmei packed her things, went out, got in the car, and left neatly.
She is not stupid, she is still studying medicine, but she has never heard that there are so many worries about pregnancy, but it is just because it is difficult to talk to Li Suhua. Basically, he told her clearly that the child could not be saved and there would be no more children in the future.
After seeing Hao Dongmei off, Wang Yan and Zheng Guangming helped Zheng Juan put the food on the table, and the family gathered around the table to eat dinner.
Li Suhua asked: "Xiaoyan, is there something wrong with Dongmei's child? Why do you say so many things? It won't work if you don't give in to this." She is not stupid, she has given birth to three children. It's just that I couldn't say anything just now, for fear of affecting Hao Dongmei.
"Well, is she old? She has never given birth to a child before. She must be more careful now." Wang Yan ate a big mouthful of food and said with relief: "Auntie, you don't have to worry, you will be fine if you pay more attention. Dongdong Sister-in-law Mei’s family is in good condition and there is a nanny here, so there will definitely be no problem.”
"That's true." Li Suhua nodded and said, "Xiaoyan, my aunt can't help. You are a doctor. Pay more attention to Dongmei to avoid any accidents."
Wang Yan responded with a smile: "Okay, don't worry, Auntie, I will pay attention. Hurry up and eat, Zheng Juan's craftsmanship is getting better and better, and she is almost catching up with the master chef in the hotel." Li Suhua's mood is understandable, this For several years, every letter written to Zhou Bingyi contained something about the child, which I was thinking about.
Zheng Juan smiled and nodded, pretending not to care and asked: "Brother, when will Bingkun come back?"
Although she had sent two letters back, she was still worried. After all, she was the one who sewed the money. Although she didn’t know what she was doing, it was natural and Luo Shibin’s lessons were there. It's just that she believes that Wang Yan will not harm Zhou Bingkun, and Zhou Bingkun has the final say in family affairs. Even though she is unhappy, she can't stop him. I haven't had a good night's sleep recently, and I'm always worried about suddenly receiving the news that Zhou Bingkun has been arrested.
"It's almost time. He called me today and said that he had just arrived in the capital and would be back after staying there for three to five days."
After getting the correct answer, Zheng Juan felt relieved for the time being, and everyone ate happily. Wang Yan answered a few kids' questions about the capital. The main reason was that they heard that their biological father had gone to the capital. Zhou Jianhua and Zhou Jianbang were a little yearning for it. Wang Jianye was still young when he went there. After such a long time, his memory has faded. It makes him sad to think about it. They all couldn't move and started to yearn for it. Wang Yan followed and told stories about the capital city, which was like giving a history lesson. Li Suhua listened with great interest...
Not much different from what Wang Yan said, Zhou Bingkun returned to Jichun six days later. The happiest person was Zheng Juan, and the happiest ones were the three cubs, because they not only had delicious food, but also some new toys. Of course Li Suhua was also happy, but she didn't know the key. Otherwise, her happiness would be as happy as Zheng Juan's.
Zhou Bingkun came back at noon, talked to his relatives, and took his children to take a bath in the public bath, so he did not go to Wang Yan immediately. Everyone was back, not too long ago, so Wang Yan only saw him again after getting off work in the evening.
Zhou Bingkun sat in the yard and greeted with a smile: "Brother, Guangming."
"Brother Bingkun." Zheng Guangming quickly parked the car and then quickly stepped forward to get closer.
Wang Yan nodded with a smile and looked at Zhou Bingkun. Except for being a little darker, he is still the same. There was a brilliance in his eyes that he had never seen before. He was not the same person.
After Zhou Bingkun dismissed Zheng Guangming, Wang Yan stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder: "Yes, I feel a lot more energetic after this trip."
Yes, it’s the spirit. The original Zhou Bingkun rode his bicycle out to run business every day, meeting different people, doing the same thing, and receiving a fixed salary. Back home, my wife and children are on the hot bed, and I talk about my loved ones all day long, day after day. This kind of life has lasted for five years since he registered with Zheng Juan in 1973. He has no direction and no thought about the future.
But after I went there this time, everything was different. He had more ideas, and his life had infinite possibilities. He felt that he had grasped fate and gave it a few big mouths. It was an indescribable pleasure. There is a vigorous desire for progress in his eyes, which is greed and ambition.
"Have you made a lot of money? Can you be depressed?" Zhou Bingkun grinned: "Brother, you are right. I have been to a few households worth ten thousand yuan a few times. Of course, I have to be as rich as you. That's it. If you lie down, five thousand will turn into ten thousand. The next time you go there, ten thousand will turn into twenty thousand. Oh, that's great."
Wang Yan lit a cigarette and shouted into the room, telling them to eat first. Then he and Zhou Bingkun went to the next house: "Let me know how you did it."
Zhou Bingkun nodded and sat down, grinned at his good brother, took out a box of Huazi from his pocket, lit it and took a long breath, coughed and said, "I didn't dare to sleep since I got in the car..."
After listening to his explanation, Wang Yan also had a clear understanding. It's simple to say, just go there and find people who use new things, and then follow the clues and ask the owners of the goods all the way. After bargaining for the goods, go to the train station to inquire about the freight trains heading north. After finding the channel, take money to ask for directions. Buy peace. After arriving in the capital, I searched for those traitors and stubborn masters of bulk goods and shipped them out in large numbers.
It sounds simple, but the process is still full of dangers. If one link is not done well, it means both people and goods will be wasted. Zhou Bingkun was very cautious. When purchasing goods, he found several groups who specialized in traveling to and from Hong Kong Island before placing an order. As for transporting goods north, he does not have direct access. Instead, I went around several times and passed by passenger trains, and finally I arrived at a place not far from the capital before entering Beijing.
Of course, Zhou Bingkun himself didn't have such a thorough idea. This was what Wang Yan taught him during the class. However, he didn't teach in such detail, he just gave a general idea. After all, it was Zhou Bingkun's first time out and he did something improper. It would be easy for problems to arise if he searched blindly. Moreover, those who do this business are not good-tempered, and they will be beaten lightly, and they may even lose their lives.
Of course he couldn't let Zhou Bingkun go out without taking care of him. He also gave him a few phone numbers, which was very safe. Fortunately, Zhou Bingkun didn't use it, and the journey went smoothly.
Being able to make money safely now is partly due to luck, but also partly due to Zhou Bingkun's own ability. These years of sales have not been in vain, and I am quite proficient in dealing with all parties. This is an essential skill for doing things. It is important to know what you want and try to know what others think.
"Well done, aren't you scared this time?"
"Aren't you asking questions knowingly? To be honest, what I earned on this trip is what I earned without food or drink for ten years. It's worth being arrested and imprisoned for a few years."
"You are too short-sighted." Wang Yan slapped him on the back of the head: "You have to be restrained, understand? You can take risks, but you have to take risks that you can afford, and don't be blind to money. You have to think more about your parents, Think about your wife and children, and consider whether it’s worth it. Besides, there are plenty of opportunities to make money, but the time to really make big money hasn’t come yet, so where are you?”
"Brother, I'm not like you. I'm a shallow person. I still can't figure out how you keep so much money."
"So when you feel like you're going to drift off, just think of me, brother."
Zhou Bingkun laughed: "Hey, by the way, brother, I'll give you the money."
"What do you mean? You don't want to make money with me?"
"No way, brother, do you think I am the ungrateful person? I just want to give you my capital. Next time I will take what I earn."
Wang Yan smiled and shook his head: "We have discussed it before. The five thousand yuan, plus my ideas, are my capital. Otherwise, how can I take 60% of it? Just take it. Besides, you all know that I have money. Do you think I’m short of that five thousand?”
"Okay, that's it. Let me rest for a while and try to go there again before the end of the year. By then, we brothers will all be households worth ten thousand yuan."
"Even a household worth ten thousand yuan needs to eat. Let's go back."
Walking next to his good brother, Zhou Bingkun thought for a while and said: "Hey, brother, what do you think I buy a color TV for our family? Let Jianhua, Jianye, Juan'er, my mother and them all take a look. There’s nothing wrong with me at home all day.”
"If you want to buy it, I bought it in 1973. Why don't you think I want to buy a TV for my family?" Wang Yan paused and looked at him sideways: "Now there are only three companies that have black and white TVs, and none. One family has a color TV. And those three families are full of people in the same room every day. Bingkun, if you don’t have money, it’s useless. And those friends of yours, you should pay attention to yourself. Go buy five pounds of ribs tomorrow. , Jianhua and the others wanted to eat it yesterday."
Zhou Bingkun stayed where he was, looking at his good brother who was leaving with his hands behind his back. After a while, he heard his son's greeting inside. He responded with a sigh and entered the house with a big grin...
