The total is 11 yuan and 4 cents. This is all the money Wang Xiaohei earned last week. Then, he took out a small dark box from under the bed. The box was made of wood and was said to be the dowry of Wang Xiaohei's mother, Zhang Hua. It was handmade by his grandfather when his parents got married.
After taking out the small wooden box, Wang Xiaohei slowly placed it on his bed, and then prepared to deposit all today's money in it.
Then he took out all the money and counted it.
"One cent, two cents, one piece, two pieces..."
The total is 142 yuan and 3 cents. This is all Wang Xiaohei's property now.
“If you don’t want history to repeat itself again, if you want to realize your own wishes, and if you want not to be looked down upon by your fellow villagers, now you have to work hard to make money. Only in this way can your family be fed, clothed warmly, healthy, and live a long life. A hundred years old." Wang Xiaohei swore secretly in the letter while looking at the money on the bed.
Immediately, Wang Xiaohei stared at the incandescent lamp intently, as if looking at some hope and light from the future. At the same time, Wang Xiaohei was also quickly calculating his next plan in his mind.
Since I started my business by selling persimmons, I have to make money by selling persimmons for the time being.
Therefore, Wang Xiaohei had a new idea in his mind.
First of all, you must get more persimmons as raw materials. Only in this way can you make more money. But there is no persimmon on the persimmon tree at home, so I can only find a solution from others.
Although the geographical location of Baimazhang Village is not very good, the climate here is very pleasant and the land is very fertile, so almost every household has planted persimmon trees. Therefore, for people in Baimazhang Village, every household has persimmons. It is not difficult for Wang Xiaohei, whose ancestral home is local, to get persimmons.
The second step is to pickle and soak. Wang Xiaohei is a student after all, so he doesn’t have any extra time to do this. The only way is to hand over the technology to Wang Dadian and Yue Xiuli. In this way, both From then on, the two of them stayed away from farm work, no longer tired, and were able to increase their income.
But as diligent farmers, how could Wang Dadian and Yue Xiuli be willing to put down their years of farm work? This put Wang Xiaohei in trouble.
Finally, there is the issue of transportation. After all, there is still some distance between school and home. Although they are both flat roads, it would still be a bit difficult for Wang Dadian and Yue Xiuli, two elderly people over fifty years old, to carry a large basket of persimmons to sell every day. of.
This series of questions also made Wang Xiaohei a little overwhelmed. After thinking about it all night, Wang Xiaohei finally came up with a solution, which was to buy a bicycle, and then ride the bicycle back to pull the persimmons during his lunch break every day. Although it is a bit hard, as long as you can make money, it doesn't matter.
Thinking of this, Wang Xiaohei found a reason to come to the market early the next morning. Wang Dadian and Yue Xiuli were originally worried about Wang Xiaohei coming to the market alone, but only because they were busy that day and because Wang Xiaohei begged so hard, they finally agreed to Wang Xiaohei going to the market alone. .
Early in the morning, Wang Xiaohei felt the joy from the market. Because we are in a rural area, we cannot go to the market every day. The market in Liangxikou Town is held on the 3rd, 6th and 9th of each month, which means that there are only a few market times every month, so it is very lively every time you go to the market.
When Wang Xiaohei arrived at the market, the first thing he saw was the colorful stalls. The stall owners put out a wide variety of goods, with everything you need. Some stalls are filled with fresh fruits and vegetables, and the colorful fruits and green vegetables exude an attractive aroma; while some stalls display a variety of small commodities, including a variety of trinkets, toys, stationery, etc. Attract children's attention. People shuttled in front of these stalls and carefully selected their favorite products.
Of course, after all, in this era when every household is growing crops, naturally few people buy vegetables to eat. Therefore, there are obviously few people in front of the stalls selling fruits and vegetables. In comparison, there are many people in front of the shops selling black and white TVs and tapes. It was a sea of people.
Wang Xiaohei only stopped for a moment and then started looking for a shop selling bicycles.
In remote towns in 1999, there were almost no shops dedicated to selling bicycles. So Wang Xiaohei searched carefully around the market but still couldn't find anyone selling bicycles.
At this time, Wang Xiaohei was already exhausted and sweating profusely. Just when he was about to sit on the ground and take a rest, someone suddenly stopped him.
"Xiao Hei, why are you here to rush to the show?"
Wang Xiaohei turned around and found that the person coming was his distant uncle Zhang Shizhao. This person was a relative of Wang Xiaohei's mother, Zhang Hua's natal family. Because he went out to work early, he earned some money. After that, he bought a house in the town and moved the whole family to the town. Although he is only a distant uncle, he takes special care of Wang Xiaohei. It is said that because Zhang Shizhao's father died young, he only had a sick mother, and several brothers and sisters had not grown up, so the family was impoverished and very destitute at that time. When Wang Xiaohei's grandpa saw this, he often asked Zhang Shizhao came to his house to have a meal, and Wang Xiaohei's grandfather even borrowed Zhang Shizhao's travel expenses to go out to work. Therefore, Zhang Shizhao was very grateful to Wang Xiaohei's grandfather, so much so that Wang Xiaohei's grandfather later passed away. Zhang Shizhao was crying so hard.
"Cousin uncle." Wang Xiaohei shouted with a smile.
"Xiaohei, where are your grandparents? Why didn't you see them?" Zhang Shizhao looked around Wang Xiaohei and asked.
"Cousin, my grandparents are not here, I am here alone." Wang Xiaohei replied with a smile.
"What are you doing here alone?" Zhang Shizhao asked with concern.
Although Wang Xiaohei hesitated, he still told Zhang Shizhao the real reason why he came to the market.
After listening to Wang Xiaohei's words, Zhang Shizhao thought for a moment and then said: "Xiaohei, you must not have eaten yet. Let's do this. I will take you to my house to have some food first, and then I will find a way to buy you a bicycle. "
"Really? Cousin, can you really help me buy a bicycle?" Wang Xiaohei asked excitedly.
"Of course, don't worry, as long as my cousin agrees to you, he will definitely be able to buy it for you."
As soon as these words came out, Wang Xiaohei's disappointment disappeared.
Arriving at Zhang Shizhao's home, Zhang Shizhao's wife Wu Shuhua also received Wang Xiaohei very warmly.
On the other side, Zhang Shizhao took out a small notebook and went out.
