Zheng Bajin glanced at Nian Jian'an and said with a smile: "There is a way, and it is actually very simple. As long as you spend more time with her, she will naturally change this bad habit."
This is something that everyone on earth knows, but it is difficult to do it, and there are not many people who can really do it.
Nian Jian'an was no exception. He looked at Zheng Bajin and said in surprise: "Spend time with her. She is no longer a child, she is an old woman in her decades. She still wants me to accompany her every day like a child?"
Zheng Bajin nodded and said, "Women are just like children, they want to spend more time with you."
"If I don't go out to make money, I will accompany her every day? Where will the family's living expenses come from? We won't be forced to lie down together and die together, right?"
"Of course not. Think about it, if you don't accompany her, no matter how much money you make outside, you won't have to worry about being ruined. When you get older and can't make money, you won't have to lie down and die. !”
The two men started arguing like this, but Bao Juan, the person involved, did not dare to speak, and looked at the two men in confusion along with Qingqing and Xiaocao.
"So, I have the best of both worlds. You stay at home to watch over her and help her get rid of her gambling addiction, and I'm responsible for going out to make money!"
Everyone was stunned and looked at Zheng Bajin: You don't want to marry into the family, do you?
"Besides, you have worked hard all your life, and now you are getting older, so you should just rest at home for a while." Zheng Bajin said, glanced at the suspicious people, and then said, "Don't worry, everyone, I will earn a lot of money when I go out in one day." The money will only be more, not less.”
Nian Jian'an nodded after hearing this, okay, let's see how this kid goes out to earn money?
Naturally, no one objected, and no one asked the question in their mind: Are you planning to marry into the family?
At this time, Nian Jianan noticed that Qingqing had placed the pork belly on the table. He sighed and said, "Come here as soon as you come and bring something with you. It's true!"
Bao Juan breathed a sigh of relief, finally escaping a disaster, and her attitude towards Zheng Bajin became unclear.
This guy obviously helped her, but she felt something was wrong.
When Xiaocao heard that Zheng Bajin and Qingqing were both going to stay, she was the happiest person. She put a smile on her face and forgot about her misfortune.
Seeing that his father-in-law and his family had no objections, Zheng Bajin knew that the time had come and said with a smile: "Dad, it's like this, you lend me the tractor, and I'll go out and help you pull coal, and I'll pay you ten yuan a day for rent." ,what do you think?"
"Ten yuan?" The whole family, except Xiaocao, asked the two words in unison, each with very different thoughts.
What Nian Jian'an thought was, ten yuan a day, although it was a little less, but it was equivalent to getting ten yuan for nothing by doing nothing.
You know, at this time, if you go to the city to work for a day, you can only earn one yuan and fifty cents.
The most important thing is that he can really stay at home, watch over Bao Juan, prevent her from gambling, and accompany Xiaocao, so he has no reason to object.
What Qingqing is thinking is: ten yuan a day, how many yuan are left? Is Zheng Bajin's hard work in vain?
Bao Juan's thoughts became a little complicated: Zheng Bajin went to make money and used her tractor in vain. She also asked Qingqing to come back for free, and only gave her ten yuan, which was too little. However, I didn't dare to object at this time. After all, what Zheng Bajin said was all for the sake of the Nian family.
Even if she knew that she had been tricked by Zheng Bajun, she could only live in silence now. The only thing she hoped for was that Nian Jianan would believe her as soon as possible and go out and make money without any worries.
Seeing that no one objected, Zheng Bajin suppressed the joy in his heart and said calmly: "That's it, starting from tomorrow, I will go out to help dad drive, and you can live a good life here."
"No." Qingqing suddenly spoke, which made Zheng Bajin's heart sink. Bao Juan felt happy and looked at Qingqing together.
"I want to share the joys and sorrows with Zheng Bajin and make money with him." Qingqing ignored everyone's surprised looks and continued, "I am determined to follow him in this life, whether it is happiness or suffering. Leave him half a step away."
Miss, you are restricting my freedom in life... Zheng Bajin secretly complained and said with a smile: "It's too hard to go out. You have such delicate skin and tender flesh. How can I be tolerated? You just stay at home."
"I think what Qingqing said makes sense. It's really uneasy for you to go out alone. With Qingqing helping you, she doesn't have to do anything. She just acts as your companion." Bao Juan suddenly laughed, said.
keep company? Are you afraid that I will kidnap your tractor and run away alone? I'm not that kind of person.
Zheng Bajin cursed and was about to object when Nian Jianan said, "Why don't you go cook quickly? What are you messing with?"
Bao Juan's expression changed, and she got up reluctantly and went to the ear room to cook, but her ears stood up, listening to what Zheng Bajin and others said.
Nian Jian'an also opposed Qingqing to follow him to make money. Of course he understood that doing this job would look good to outsiders and he could earn dozens of dollars a day. However, only experienced drivers could understand the hardship involved.
Not only did he have to move several thousand kilograms of coal up and down every day, which made him completely covered in black, and his hands and feet became weak, but he pressed his hands on the car handle all day long, which made him sore from the shock.
The most important thing is that once the car breaks down halfway, it means that the sky and the sky are not responding, and the ground and the ground are not working, and you have to kneel down and repair it by yourself.
However, at this time, Qingqing had already taken the weight and was determined to suffer along with Zheng Bajin.
After some discussion, Qingqing showed no signs of weakness and insisted on following Zheng Bajing even if he was beaten to death. Even Xiaocao tried to persuade her, but to no avail.
Zheng Bajin and Nian Jianan had no choice but to agree.
As for the tractor rental, it will be calculated from tomorrow.
However, after finishing the meal, Zheng Bajin proposed: "It's still early and I have nothing to do. Let's go to Sanli Village to pull a cart of lignite!"
"Eight pounds, you can't earn enough money in one or two days. Let's take a night off today." Nian Jian'an looked at this young man, who was even more diligent than himself before, and sighed with some heartache.
"It's okay. Don't worry. Sanli Village is only ten kilometers away. Go now. It's just right. You can load the coal before it gets too dark. Then, I will take you to Shili Village and we can sell it within tomorrow." Zheng Bajin said Standing, looking at Qingqing.
Since she doesn't want to be here, just send him back to Shili Village.
After listening, Qingqing understood what Zheng Bajin meant and nodded in agreement: "Bajin is right, idleness is idleness. I will go with him, and there will be someone to look after me on the way."
Nian Jian'an looked at Qingqing, looking like a husband and a wife, and felt happy. Marrying Qingqing to Bajin was the wisest choice!
…
Sanli Village is in the center of Sanli Township, not far from Nianjia Village and just over Mount Huang.
Zheng Bajin stopped on the mountain. Qingqing was a little surprised and asked him why he didn't leave?
Zheng Bajin smiled, looked at the people carrying potatoes on the roadside and said, "Brother, the potatoes are pretty good. Where are they going to be sent?"
"We live on this mountain, so of course we have to carry potatoes home." The two men were covered in sweat. They looked at the tractor and stopped, taking it as a break.
Zheng Bajin was secretly happy after hearing this. Didn't this business come to his door? He smiled and said, "You grow so many potatoes and you can't eat them all in a year, why not sell them to me?"
"Do you really want to buy it?" A man looked at Zheng Bajin strangely and said, "I think your car is used to haul coal. Why do you suddenly think of buying potatoes?"
"Haha, it's like this. I see that everyone is working so hard to choose. Why don't you just sell it to me here and I'll help you sell it." Zheng Bajin said, thinking: There is no fixed law, as long as you can make a profit When you have the money, who cares whether you are pulling coal or potatoes?
"Tell me, how much can you get per pound?" The two men suddenly became interested.
They live on Huangshan Mountain, and all their income is from potatoes. Although the yield is good, it is really a waste of time and effort to pick them up the mountain and sell them. If someone comes here to buy it, it will really save a lot of effort.
"Let's do it, fixed price. I'll give you five cents per catty, and you can take whatever you get!" Zheng Bajin turned off the car, jumped out of the car, took out two spring plows, and handed them over.
"Five points? If you pick Sanli Village, you can sell it for at least a dime." Although the two of them took the cigarettes, they were a little unhappy with Zheng Bajin's behavior of earning half of it just by sitting on the ground.
"You can't say that. If you go to the bottom of the mountain, you can sell at most one load a day. Calculated at 100 kilograms, how much sweat will be shed. In other words, if you sell it for five yuan more, you will spend one yuan on eating a bowl of rice noodles on the street. , buy a few egg white cakes, and spend another yuan. After a hard day, you have to eat two more bowls of rice when you get home, and even if you spend another yuan, you can only earn two yuan at most."
"But, have you ever thought about it, it only takes a day. If you go to work in the city on this day, you can earn at least one yuan and a half. The most important thing is, in case of a minor illness or pain, You have to take injections and take medicine, isn’t it equivalent to doing it in vain?”
"Also, we don't have time to wait for you to pick and sell the potatoes in the field. If they rot in the field, the loss will be huge, and it will be a pity."
The two of them nodded, as if this was the reason. They pointed at the man coming from a small road with a bunch of potatoes behind them, and said, "We are helpers. The real master is here. Ask him." Bar!"
Zheng Bajin was stunned. His feelings were just wasted, weren't they? He did the math again to the young man.
The man was carrying a load of potatoes, which was less than a hundred kilograms. He touched his aching shoulder. The more he listened, the more he felt that Zheng Bajin was right.
The most important point was that although Zheng Bajin didn't explain it, he understood it. He asked people to help pick potatoes, and he had to feed them, and there was no need to put a bowl of meat on the table.
And these people, lack of oil and water in their bodies, have become grass-bellied. One meal is at least three large bowls of rice, which is enough to fill half the pot when poured into the pot.
Although you are not paid, you have to provide for food, and you still owe favors. When the time comes, if someone asks you for something, you still have to do it. No matter how hard it is, you can only bear it.
Think about it, it's better to sell it on the spot.
Qingqing was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and she always felt that Zheng Bajin's calculation was not this kind of calculation.
