At this time, Zhang Xiaoyang had already gone to Yuanqiao Village, parked the tractor on the side of the road, and shouted: "It's time to collect firewood. If you have firewood, collect it and sell it!"
People looked at him suspiciously, as if they were crazy. No one has ever done this before. Is it true or not?
"Old man, do you have firewood at home? If you do, collect it and sell it to me. The price is absolutely fair and you won't suffer a loss." Zhang Xiaoyang said, looking at an old man sitting on the roadside.
The old man looked at him, smiled and said, "Young man, don't lie. Don't you have to find firewood yourself? You don't have to pay for it, so you might as well buy a few hundred kilograms of charcoal and burn it slowly."
"How could I lie to you? You are so old, you can be my father." Zhang Xiaoyang looked at the old man, who was already in his sixties or seventies, and said with a smile, "If you don't believe me, you can sell some to me. , fifty cents per hundred catties, quite a bargain."
"Really or not?" The old man looked at him doubtfully. Five cents for a hundred catties is cheap, but if you sell it for one hundred catties and buy ten catties of coal to burn it, it won't smoke people, and it will last longer (burning time long).
"Of course it's true!" Zhang Xiaoyang took out a handful of change, which he specially paid from Nian Jian'an's canteen. Then he can just go back and settle the accounts. Unlike Wang Chaosheng, who used his own salary to advance the pig collection. young.
He also took out a scale, a steel scale that could weigh one hundred and fifty pounds at a time.
This place talks about single jin, also called Shijin, and one jin is equal to 500 grams.
The old man was a little convinced and said he would give it a try. As he said that, he walked into a small road, and after a while, he actually picked up a bundle. When weighed, it only weighed twenty kilograms.
This is a thoroughly dried apple branch. It looks like a lot, but it doesn't weigh on the scale.
Zhang Xiaoyang asked him if he had any more. If so, it would be at least 100 kilograms, so that it would be easier to settle accounts.
The old man looked at him and said, "You pay first. It's easy to calculate twenty pounds. Just take a dime."
Zhang Xiaoyang smiled, knowing that he didn't believe such a good thing could happen, so he gave the old man a dime.
When the old man saw that it was true, he went to hug a few more. The total weight was one hundred kilograms, and he got fifty cents.
Someone started it, and the old people behind him really believed it, and they all brought the firewood in front of their homes and exchanged it for money.
Zhang Xiaoyang was very careful and recorded the name of a person in his book for easy reconciliation with Zheng Bajin later. In a short time, a cart of firewood was collected. It looked like a lot, but in fact it was only more than three hundred kilograms.
There were still people who wanted to sell, but Zhang Xiaoyang's car could no longer be pulled. He said he would come back tomorrow and asked everyone to prepare and bundle the firewood in advance.
People happily agreed. At this time, most of the people at home were old people, and the young people went to the fields. No one bothered Zhang Xiaoyang. They also helped him tie the firewood in the car with a rope to prevent it from shaking when the car moved. land.
The journey went very smoothly. When we returned to Shili Village, it was already afternoon. Zhang Xiaoyang put down the firewood and stacked a few bundles along the wall. After thinking about it, he felt uneasy and found a wider place to pile it up.
You must not have the intention to harm others, but you must have the intention to guard against others. At any time, we must be wary of those who give birth to sons without buttocks, fearing that they will get pinkeye. Watching Zheng Bajin make money, he will feel unbalanced. If he gets up in the middle of the night and lights a fire, the loss will be great, and he may still lose money. Will kill people.
In short, it’s all about caution.
However, Zhang Xiaoyang really convinced Zheng Bajin and got such a large piece of land. In the past, it was a place where no crops could be grown, but now it is a treasure land.
He could only explain it by saying that Zheng Bajin had foresight. He did not know that Zheng Bajin was a man twice and had foresight about the future.
At this time, Zheng Bajin was laughing and talking about life with Qingqing, telling her about future development plans.
Suddenly he remembered that Qing Qing was a poet in his previous life, and he insisted on asking her to write a poem to see if she could still become a poet in his life.
Qingqing scolded him and said, "You damn ghost, the sheep is dead..."
Zheng Bajin smiled and said: "What a poem!"
Qingqing gave him a blank look and cursed: "It's all your fault. Where did you learn these weird things?"
"Does this still require learning? You can do it with insects and ants, let alone a human being?" Zheng Bajin looked at her face proudly, already as red as a red apple.
No, in her previous life, the people she came into contact with were different. She was poor and not rich in material things. Naturally, she had a lot of feelings, so she could write such compassionate poems. But in this life, she met the right person and took her to make a fortune. Now she has a house in the city and has no worries about food and clothing. All she thinks about every day is how to make money and how to cash out the things in the ham shop.
Although I also learned the Pythagorean Theorem from Du Fengqi, I no longer focused on writing poetry, so naturally I couldn't write poetry.
It seemed that it was not that she had lost inspiration, but that she had changed her life.
Thinking of this, Zheng Bajin couldn't help but sigh. It's a pity that a great poet was defeated by him like this!
When Qingqing heard him sigh, she couldn't help but open her eyes and look at him, and asked with concern: "Are you feeling uncomfortable? If you feel uncomfortable, just... take a rest. You must be very tired from running around during this period. Please pay attention. Get more rest. You are the backbone of our family, so nothing happens to you. Otherwise, I really don’t know what to do?"
"No, it's very comfortable. As long as you are comfortable, I will be happy and comfortable. By the way, your dad and Zhang Xiao'e have made you a younger brother. You will be unhappy if you are happy." Zheng Bajin suddenly changed his mind. , I feel that in this life, it is better to have a little guy to accompany me earlier. Life will be perfect. I will not draw my gun and leave at the critical moment, and just complete the last formalities.
Qingqing was stunned for a moment when she heard that, Zheng Bajin had already called it a day...
"Really?" Qingqing looked at Zheng Bajin, and it took a while before she came back to her senses.
"Of course it's true. If nothing else happens, I will have an extra brother-in-law next year."
"Nonsense." Qingqing gave him a blank look and murmured, "The bad ones don't work, but the good ones do!"
Obviously, she was also very happy, happy for her father. She knew that in rural areas, the idea of favoring boys over girls was somewhat prevalent. If she didn't promote it, others would.
If Nian Jian'an had a son in his later years, he would be very happy, and everyone should be happy for him too.
Suddenly, she gently hugged Zheng Bajin, her meaning was quite obvious.
Zheng Bajin couldn't bear to push her away and let her do whatever she wanted.
Ten minutes later, Zheng Bajin rose again, but this time, he stayed still, lying down and pretending to be dead. It was really funny to see Qingqing's clumsy behavior.
…
Half an hour later, Zheng Bajin looked at Qingqing sleeping and covered her with a quilt, but he couldn't fall asleep.
In his previous life, he didn't really care about a woman. In this life, he didn't know whether he owed her something or something. He wanted to spend his whole life protecting the woman in front of him. He didn't want her to be harmed in the slightest, and he wished he could give birth to her. My child, let her avoid all pain and suffering, and let all storms come towards her.
