The food was served very quickly, and the two of them were chatting with their chopsticks, glancing outside the door from time to time.
Today is Sunday. There are several students-like figures dressed in rags, carrying schoolbags full of stuff and preparing to eat. They must have come from the mountainous area.
Tang Zhengwen was a little surprised: "What they are carrying doesn't look like a book. What is it?"
"Bring boiled potatoes to improve the school food." Zheng Bajin picked up a piece of twice-cooked pork and chewed it tastelessly in his mouth.
"I have to carry so many potatoes. I'm afraid I'll have to eat them for a week. Isn't this going to spoil them?" Tang Zhengwen's family is close to the city and he doesn't know the sufferings of these students who come from places dozens of kilometers away.
"Of course, especially in hot weather, they are reluctant to throw away the leftovers. They take them home and don't even eat the chickens." Zheng Bajin had a calm expression on his face and sighed silently in his heart.
Even these potatoes are better than the food in the cafeteria.
Tang Zhengwen looked at Zheng Bajin in surprise, thinking he was joking.
At this moment, the sound of fighting suddenly sounded not far away.
Tang Zhengwen was startled and almost spit out the food in his mouth. His big black horse was also startled, stopped grazing, and raised its ears uneasily.
Then, the sound of music loomed.
This is background music, the sound coming from the loudspeakers of people playing movies.
Tang Zhengwen asked strangely: "Here, if you play so loudly, no one will stop you, and the people won't curse?"
"Hey, this is the street. It's just like those movies and videos in the city. How many people do you see and will take care of them?" What Zheng Bajin wants to say is that this place is close to the school, especially when going to the market. Listen. How many students can listen to this high-decibel sound of fighting and join the class?
At this time, several students carrying schoolbags took out a crumpled ticket, probably worth five cents, and handed it to the spectators. After entering the movie theater, they didn't even bother to eat. Tang Zhengwen's eyes were filled with tears. It's a bit straight. Everyone comes from a few kilometers away and is reluctant to buy a bite of food. Just for this?
The restaurant owner heard their conversation and sighed silently and said: "These people are simply harmful to people. They have harmed a generation of students. My family was frugal and allowed them to come to study, but they were abused by these people." harmed!"
Tang Zhengwen couldn't answer. He looked at the few people in front of the cinema, looking like wolves and tigers, as if to prevent humans from causing trouble.
Zheng Bajin thought of somewhere in the future...
At this time, a little girl in very shabby clothes, about thirteen or fourteen years old, carrying a schoolbag on her back and a bunch of cabbage in her hand, quickly walked through the street cinema and headed towards the school.
She walked resolutely, as if she had forgotten everything, even the seductive movie sounds were automatically immune.
Zheng Bajin couldn't help but his eyes lit up. Could this student be Xi Shunhai's daughter?
He chased her out, but the little girl was gone.
After thinking about it, he returned to the table. Even if he wanted to help her, it would not be good. If there was any misunderstanding, it would be bad to scare the little girl.
Fortunately, from now on, she will no longer be the kind of person who becomes poor because of her studies, nor will she be the unfortunate person who has no money to go to college.
"What's wrong?" Tang Zhengwen finished eating the last piece of meat and looked at Zheng Bajin strangely.
"It's okay. I saw an acquaintance. Ignore him. Have you eaten?" Zheng Bajin said in one stroke.
"Eat, let's go! It's too noisy here!" Tang Zhengwen stood up.
Zheng Bajin spent five yuan to pay the bill, which made Tang Zhengwen feel a little heartbroken, as if he was spending his own money. This was his day's income.
After leaving the door, Tang Zhengwen said: "It's so expensive. If you buy it and cook it yourself, you can weigh more than two kilograms of meat, and the meat on his plate will not exceed two taels."
Zheng Bajin smiled and said nothing. Before he was reborn, he looked at ten dollars on the ground and had no time to bend down.
It can be said that everything has changed a lot. It was only less than a year, but it seemed like centuries had passed.
Fortunately, Tang Zhengwen didn't get too entangled, but took off the horse feed cup and tied it to the shaft of the cart again.
However, the sound of the movie is louder now, so I don't dare to be careless, but I pull the horse's bit, fearing that it will be frightened.
After walking out of the street, he breathed a sigh of relief, sat in the car, and let the horse continue to follow Zheng Bajin's tractor.
When he returned to the village, Zheng Bajin stopped at the door of his house. He was watching Xiaocao doing homework at the door and called her.
Xiaocao stood up and happily called brother-in-law.
Zheng Bajin told her to tell Zhang Xiao'e to cook more food as there would be guests tonight.
Tang Zhengwen looked at Zheng Bajin strangely and said, "This is your home? The location is very wide. Unfortunately, the house is in poor repair. Your pig farm won't be here, right?"
"Of course not." Zheng Bajin said. When he saw Xiaocao running back happily and asking her stepmother to cook, he said, "But it will be here soon."
After a while, the two cars arrived at the pig farm.
Tang Zhengwen looked at the huge piece of land that had not yet been completely completed and said with a smile: "With such a big piece of land, if it were in the city, we would make a fortune."
Zheng Bajin didn't know how to answer these words for a moment. How could this place be compared with the city?
However, once used properly, you can still make a fortune.
As the saying goes, a ruler is long and an inch is short. The key is to make reasonable use of it.
After thinking for a while, he introduced: "This is just the first batch of pig pens. Soon, the construction of the second batch will start."
Originally, the second batch only planned to build fifty more rooms. Now, with the help of Tang Zhengwen, he has solved the problem of feeding some pigs. He plans to build two hundred rooms at a time. By then, it is estimated that the cabbage in Haizi Village will be enough. Take on the second crop.
Wang Chaosheng had not left yet and was talking to Zhang Xiaoyang. When he saw Zheng Bajin leading a man to pull out the water, he hurriedly called a few men who built the wall to help lift the water down.
Tang Zhengwen got one day's wages and was about to leave. Zheng Bajin asked him to stay for dinner and leave tomorrow. He was not worried at night.
"It's okay, I'm used to walking in the dark side." Tang Zhengwen refused. He didn't want to waste time here. He had to rush back and collect bones and water early tomorrow morning.
Seeing that he insisted on leaving, Zheng Bajin stopped forcing him. Instead, he took out fifty yuan and asked him to buy two more buckets. When the time comes, he can use them interchangeably to save the trouble.
Tang Zhengwen took the money and said with some emotion: "Boss, do you trust me so much? Are you afraid that if I take the money and stop helping you, you won't be able to find me by then?"
"Haha, as the saying goes, don't be suspicious of people and don't be suspicious of people. I believe in your character." Zheng Bajin smiled and thought, isn't it just fifty yuan? You can earn it from me in five days. If not If there is something wrong with the brain, a woman will not sit on the stone slab and lose the big for the small!
"Okay, don't worry, I will never betray your trust." Tang Zhengwen said gratefully and drove away.
Zheng Bajin called Zhang Xiaoyang aside and told him his plan. He would add more manpower tomorrow and repair the second batch of pig pens while repairing the wall. Otherwise, there would be too much water and the pigs would be easily eaten.
