Zhen Baozhu can not get out of the countryside, on the marriage to do du method: marry a commodity food.
You can't say this explicitly, but you have to let the introducer figure it out for himself.
The introducer understands that she has to go through this step of looking for commercial food first, and if she doesn't finish this road, she will not be willing to do so, and you will have to be scolded even if she is not able to find a good young man in the countryside.
So, start from the beginning.
There was a worker at the county prefabrication plant with a dead wife, thirty-four years old, with an eight-year-old boy.
With humiliated pride, she categorically refused.
Another one, twenty-six years old, the age of the same, native city people, did not work, their own family opened a kiosk, daily food, clothing and spending a little worry, just well, a little bit of the leg is not strong, when I was a little bit of polio, did not cure in time, fell a little bit of disability, just a little bit, does not affect the walk does not delay the work, and do not need to be waited on.
The meeting was at his kiosk, which is also his home. The two houses on the street, one inside, where mom and dad live, and one outside, where he lives in the back half of the house, and the outside half of the house is separated by shelves, and operates a daily small department store. The young man sat on the stool, refused to get up, and did not speak, all the socializing, pouring tea, seats, pleasantries, these, all by his mother in the side to complete. His thin, flabby legs, wearing new pants worn by relatives, motionless, half-stretched half-curled, body tilted thinly, driven by the gaze is also slanted. Trying desperately to paint themselves in protective colors, showing a pretty tough look. Under the mother and son's unassuming politeness and warmth, there was disheartened indifference and hostility, knowing what was in the woman's mind, but just not willing to get up and take two steps to show her. Strong support for ten minutes, the other mother and son even some impatience, no longer speak, nor add tea, there is a meaning of the banishment.
The next Sunday, Zhen Baozhu and her sister-in-law together, once again came to the county, to find that kiosk, she hid on the side, let her sister-in-law go in to buy a few bars of soap, no, what things placed on the high side of the purchase of what, expect that the young man can get up and walk around.
Soon, her sister-in-law came out, grimacing and waving her hand at her from a distance. Approached to say, it is not at all the introducer said, legs a little weak so simple, is very weak, drive the whole body is slanting about to fall to the ground, like taking off a wheel frame car, "crawl nest there."
The third man in town, a convict, thirty-one years old, had a knife for a few words to cut people, jailed for ten years, missed the wedding. He looked her up and down with hot eyes that had no qualms about making one's heart flinch. On the wrist of the rolled up sleeve, I don t know whether the dragon or the snake of the text is exposed a little bit, jumping and jumping with the bulging of his muscles. Zhen Baozhu kindly coped with him, said, go back to discuss with aunt, hurriedly slipped away, afraid to run a step slower will not be able to get away.
Another introducer gave said one, in the neighboring county coal mine as an agreement worker, is the introducer's maternal nephew's classmate. If you are willing, the next time he goes home on vacation, you can arrange a meeting. Zhen Baozhu thought, can go down the well digging coal, prove that the body is not disabled. She also privately inquired, what is called agreement labor. People told her that the agreement is also a temporary worker, the mine more work called you to do, less work, no work on the home. Do the same work, take two-thirds of the money of the regular workers. So, back home, not again become a farmer? But people told her, so many years, there has not been any agreement workers have no work to do home. Coal mine every day out of coal, coal mine outside the big trucks lined up every day. So she was looking forward to the agreement worker back, the heart has a sympathetic feeling, she thought, after the marriage, she can follow him to the coal mine to live, is also considered to be out of the countryside.
Not waiting to come back to people, waiting for the news of the coal mine collapse, the agreement worker life, smashed a leg, the mine compensation of eight thousand dollars, came home. I heard that the family is planning to use this eight thousand dollars to build him a house, and he put out the word, these years also saved nearly ten thousand dollars, want to find a second crop of women. There is already a woman who has just lost her husband and has expressed her willingness to live with him.
Marrying to the county, is a hard and full of humiliation road, find a commodity food, it seems to be difficult, even find an agreement worker, but also out of such a turn of events, it seems, really is the fate of bad luck.
Mom said: "It is necessary to find a resident account? I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that, but I'm going to be able to do it, and I'm going to be able to do it. We have so many people in the countryside, so many rows of big boys, not enough for you to pick? There are a lot of peasants in the world who don't want to live, and they can't have a family without a matchmaker?"
Take a step back, gradually no longer annoyed, but also slowly gray heart, broken non-commodity food not to find the idea.
Yin Zhang village Yin Qiusheng, a big white goose general clean and neat, and Baozhu the same age, not high, not low, not fat, not thin, hair thick and stumpy black bright, white face, double eyelids, a smile reveals a mouth of white teeth, the whole body exudes just picked off a knife broken open the fragrant breath of the vegetable melon, wore a new moon white shirt, above with a few folded prints, stirrups three joints of the black shoes, a fierce look to go, a bit of The first time I saw you, I was in the middle of the night, and I was in the middle of the night. Only the same inappropriate, junior high school graduates, but he is a talented young man, the only son of the family, above two sisters, a sister underneath, three bright tiled room has been built, inside all kinds of fashionable furniture to do stop. Growing up away from the north dance ferry foot to the Yin Zhang, cultivated to the foreign style, simply like a city youth. His excellent appearance and Zhen Baozhu's ordinary looks folded a bit, Zhen Baozhu's high school graduation should accommodate his junior high school education, her substitute teacher should also tolerate his peasant status.
The introducer finished his opening remarks, left the two of them and went out. Baozhu only just entered the door, big about a glance, bright a person, very assured, and now lowered his head, just waiting for the man to find words to say. The young man a little stage fright, obviously this is not his style, look at him that look, should be eloquent active, now but do not dare to speak easily. May be timid with the pressure brought about by the woman's education, as if she did not dare to look at her more seriously, only smell a light aroma, only think it is a beautiful girl, face looks like what, it seems to have been unimportant.
Coughing decently, the man said the first words after the two met, "Let's go, to the county."
"Get what?"
"To buy clothes."
She almost let out a giggle. Afterward, she asked him, "It's the first time you've met someone, and you're bringing money for clothes?"
"Going to the county passed by my village, I will not run home to get it?"
If a young man says to a girl, "Let's go, go up to Bei Maodu," he's trying to establish a relationship with her; a man who says, "Let's go, let's go up to the county," is directly trying to buy you clothes and get you engaged.
Of course, you can not immediately go to the county with him, and then how to say also have to take to take the frame, first of all, each go home, and then let the introducer back and forth to ask questions, pass the word.
The man was chasing him, urging him to go to the county to buy some clothes. The buy clothes, encountered in busy times, the male party to the female party to the home, to call to help cut wheat, break grain, peanuts, sweet potatoes, on the grounds of eating and living in the male party's home, we must call the male party's aunt aunt, the male party's younger siblings, but also the female party called sister-in-law. There is also a small part of the substance of the contact in the change. If the man changed his mind, the woman will not return the clothes bought, the money spent is no longer pursued; if the woman repented, the clothes bought, to return the original, the money spent, to be compensated back.
On the rural lads, there can no longer than Yin Qiusheng excellent candidates, but Zhen Baozhu still feel aggrieved, she is with the fate in the sulking, for their own complete fall in the countryside and angry, agreed to kiss, is equal to no longer have the opportunity to go out, may not agree, there is a chance? In front of the two college entrance exams, four years of substitute teaching, the opportunity has not seen the door to ah, now all the way out of the blocked, the former private teacher, now become a substitute teacher, more temporary, barely a statement, all day shouting clearance, at any time will be lost. She is already twenty-four or twenty-five, and if she doesn't find an in-law, she risks becoming an old girl.
As if accepting him is a degradation, follow him to the county to buy clothes, but also easily do not show him a smile, sitting on the back of Yin Qiusheng's weighted bicycle, smelling the scent of his body, giddy intoxicated a bit, followed by quite a bit of sadness, remembering the first few times to go to the county on a blind date, humiliated, remembering from the front of the way to the county to go to school, where they spent the past four years, remembered that Luo Jinyi has long been Eat on the commodity grain, now is the teacher of the North Dancing ferry elementary school, she also want to find a way to transfer to the county, will eventually become a member of there, the wind does not blow, the rain does not shower, the feet often do not touch the soil, to introduce her to the object, all are formal, qualified commodity grain, but she is not in a hurry to find the old girl's standards, to her can be on the extension for a few more years.
It's all fate, do not serve not hit, when that grandmother's apple, did not give the wrong.
Yin Qiusheng joyfully rode two eight aggravated bicycle, triangular beam frame wrapped in dense plastic color strips, encountered someone on the road, the bell ringing. The company has a lot of people who are not familiar with the company's products. He said cheerfully to those who did not know. Sitting on the back seat of the bike, feel the wind is more refreshing, with a good smell of his body, that is a bit like soap put for a long time, grew a layer of white little fluffy lovely flavor, swish swish swish straight to Baozhu full of face, can not help but will be her face, neck kisses caress to go. Ah, such a good talent, how is he not a commodity food? The inner world is not the same as the two strands of the line, to be twisted into one by the big hand of fate, at the beginning of the twisted, there is always a share of unwillingness, do not serve, hard cocking unwilling to cooperate, the other share of the patience and enthusiasm to pay a little bit more, to cater to the climb, enthusiastic embrace of that strand to her a step down, so that she is half-assed half-assed to obey.
The agreed upon four dresses were bought, and Yin Qiusheng also bought a fine 18K gold necklace. This has never been seen on a blind date in the countryside in the 1980s. Rural girls, too, rarely wear necklaces, but Qiusheng said, you are not the same as them, you are a teacher.
Zhen Baozhu often remembered the previous humiliation, as if to Yin Qiusheng pampering, make a little sex, to make up for it from him. Yin Qiusheng can see that her annoyance is not really annoyed, only to accommodate, take the words to make her happy, boldly pulled her hand and said: "What are listening to you in the future, you told me to face the east, I do not face the west, you told me to hit the dog I do not chuff the chicken."
"I told you to stay away, don't bother me all day long, in or out?" Baozhu's face has been intoxicated, thin skin gradually turning red, can no longer cover the resistance, but still hardened his heart to take the words against him.
"Huh, just this one thing is not hit, other all follow you!" Taking the opportunity to pull her into his arms, bracing himself for a kiss like a chicken chattering rice. She stuck to his chest, eyes hot nasal sour. Admit it, everything is fate.
Zhen Baozhu in fact did not look very good, black and thin, tall, walking feet a little bit of internal eight, eyes always fine squinting, as if afraid of the wind blowing, do not dare to open wide. Indeed, like a no blessing, not like Luo Jinyi that white and big a happy look. Qiusheng Qiuyun sisters are the North Dance Duo around the famous beauty of men and women, thanks to their mother is a Northeastern people. Qiusheng his uncle when he was young in the Northeast as a soldier for a few years, demobilized, led back a big daughter, tall, white face, speak a mouthful of sharp Northeast dialect. After coming to the village, gave birth to their four sisters, people say, this is called a good breed. According to say Qiusheng should find a comparable appearance of the daughter-in-law, but he only love intellectuals Zhen Baozhu, heard that is a high school student, private teacher, first willing to a big cut, a see under the still quite beautiful, with the general rural girls can not reach the book atmosphere, can no longer give up on her. It is a stone egg, also have to cover to the arms of the warm heat you. He not a few days to find an excuse to ride the car scurried to Zhenzhuang to give Baozhu to take a few apples, two pieces of soap and so on, Baozhu take the words to gas him, choking him, he is not annoyed, to see the space to bravely grab her hand and said, have to be my heart out to you to see it? In addition to the busy season to help, in addition to the big event, weekdays are not Xing men and women to each other's homes, easy to make people laugh, but Qiusheng does not care about these, he is to let people know, he is the object of Baozhu.
After Qiusheng left, Baozhu's mother said, "In the middle of the middle, don't pack the bomb, no that climbing life, just practical."
Baobaozhu completely dead heart, so also look forward to the busy season, was called to work in his home, so that Yin Zhang and Zhenzhuang people know, they are engaged.
After the new marriage, Zhen Baozhu, waking up every morning from Qiusheng's shoulder, soaked by the good smell of his body, seeing the light of the sky outside, said to herself, this kind of life, it is not bad, right. After eating the breakfast made by my mother-in-law, I left the bowl, rode my bicycle to Qianyang Elementary School to work, and at noon, I simply made something in my own dormitory at the school, and in the afternoon, after work, I rode my bicycle through the market of Bei Maodu, and came back to my home, where my mother-in-law had already made the supper. She did no housework, and basically no farm work except for the summer and fall harvests, commuting to and from work every day like a real working person. Her life, if you don't consider the issue of commercial food or not, is considered happy and smooth.
Baobaozhu is a new daughter-in-law for a few years, and has given birth to two sons in a row, one who looks like Qiusheng and one who looks like herself, all of whom are healthy and beautiful. Baozhu is still clean and thin, the body shape has not changed at all, just more feminine charm, especially as an elementary school substitute teacher, this charm in her leading the children to read b, p, m, f, d, t, n, l, when she dusted her body chalk end from the school out of the time, but also looks beautiful. She dressed plainly and well, her steps had some rhythm, and when she spoke with a little more accent, she became an idol in the eyes of the rural people. The women ate and dressed, at all times, to Baozhu as a standard of reference.
Because Qiusheng is the only son, there is no brotherly strife, there is no separation of the family with his parents, the important thing is that Baozhu is a woman of knowledge, higher than the average village women, to the in-laws is very respectful, never like the rural daughter-in-law, to the in-laws to throw the face, to do the embarrassment. The mother-in-law's health is also good, looking after the children, cooking, housework all take over, she is basically into the door to eat, eat and leave the bowl turned out of the stove room, her chores is to wash their family of four clothes, sweep the yard and their own house ground, in addition to this, she is like a professional woman, every day gently and leisurely bike to work and work.
But suddenly, she made a serious mistake and was expelled from school, reducing her to a village woman overnight. She came out of the school yesterday, and never had the face to go back in. She asked Qiusheng to simply pack up the things in her house at night after the school was empty. After that she would probably never walk into that courtyard again for the rest of her life.
The cause of the incident was that Qiusheng loved to spend money. Growing up, Qiusheng loved to spend money and had one that he wanted to spend eight of. Qiusheng this time to make money is entrusted to buy fertilizer in the county. Look at the bud seedlings half waist high on the fertilizer, but this year the fertilizer is in short supply, in the county have relatives have relations with the talent to buy, high and mighty to pull to their own homes in the ground. Are they spreading fertilizer? Is that what they do with their crops? They were just angry with Qiusheng. What if I, Yin Qiusheng, am a powerful man who can't buy fertilizer? Qiusheng put down his rice bowl and rode his bicycle to his sister's house, he went to ask Qiuyun's mother-in-law to borrow money, he did not believe that he pocketed the money to buy cigarettes to the county can not buy fertilizer.
Their own family does not have so much money, Qiuyun's in-laws rushed to run around the neighborhood to borrow, a moment, holding a lot of change back, said here 50 you see enough, not enough to come back in two days to see. Qiusheng said, don't worry about it uncle, I go to find a good doorway, the two families of fertilizer can buy back, you only need to buy fertilizer money ready on the middle. He went to the county and took fifty dollars but did not dare to spend it. This year, the price of fertilizer has not only increased, and right now there is no goods, when the goods do not know.
Bicycling back home, or see someone from the county, the commune pulled fertilizer back. Autumn was so angry that he didn't eat dinner, and he hated himself for having less money, and hated himself for not having any relationship with the county and the commune.
Baobaozhu could not bear to see him anxious and angry, said: "really not in, students just handed over the money at the beginning of the school year, I have not yet handed over to the school miles, you first take to make, ten days and a half months to the school can be handed over on the middle." In previous years are like this, the school only after ten days from each teacher to collect all the money, sometimes procrastination, a month or two to pay up is also there. Qiusheng eyes lit up, do not care a lot, told Baozhu to get the money, he thought, with this money to buy more fertilizer, come back to resell, the money earned, may be able to make up the hole. Baozhu handed him one hundred and eighty dollars, first let him go to the north dance ferry to find Meng Jiansha, Meng Jiansha to the county of a good buddy called, Qiusheng early the next morning went to the county, to the people sent a cigarette, rush to the dark before the fertilizer pulled back, he was considered to be a raised eyebrow back.
But three days later in the morning, the principal suddenly said, the county education bureau raided the school all kinds of indicators, please teachers to the collected money before dark to pay all. Qiusheng now anxious, just hate him too diligent, yesterday, the fertilizer spread clean, if the remaining three or five bags of this moment can also be sold upside down. I'm not sure how much I'm going to be able to do, but I'm sure I'll be able to do it in a few minutes.
Bao Zhu is in the wind, no one dares to give her a favor, the principal in order to regain face in front of the leadership of the Board of Education, announced the dismissal of Zhen Bao Zhu on the spot, and even a meeting to study the necessity of no longer.
Baozhu hid at home every day and did not go out. The day turned cool, the collection of beans, sold beans, beans, pay back the money, not waiting for wheat planted, the land rented to others to take care of, Qiusheng and Baozhu packing luggage, the two sons to Mom put home, the two in the night at 10:30 on the train to Xi'an. The hard seat carriages stand all night, the day almost dawn to Luoyang, some people get off, vacate a seat, two people squeezed to sit down, leaning to sleep.
The train arrived in Xi'an at noon.
Earlier in the year, I heard that there was a man in Bei Maodu, who had many brothers in his family, left home at the age of fifteen or sixteen and went out into the world, and was apprenticed to a lacquerer on the outskirts of Xi'an. He was later introduced to a local family as a son-in-law, and is said to be in charge of the family now, and is doing well.
Before leaving, Qiusheng went to Wu Chenggui's home in Beimaidu and asked for his address in Xi'an, just in case.
The two stood in the train station square, looking at the bustling crowd, carrying large and small bags, coming and going, pace hurried, as if they were the only two, do not know where to go. Not heavy buses, mighty turn a head and go south, short, give them a round backside, long, half of the midriff where there are a few layers of sub like an accordion on the folds, the car folded from there, the feeling that there should be a stream of music coming out of there, unlike the short open so fierce, slow stop to the departure site, people swarmed, too many people stuck in the door there, under the sheep's poop eggs, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. One, popped into the car, the lumps under the car gradually dissipated, lined up in dense rows inside the car, like a big paintbrush coloring the inside, coloring, coloring, coloring, until it was black and the big car turned into a canning jar.
The two of them tilted their necks for a moment, then glanced at each other, silent, but with eyes that asked, Where to? Both of them ringing in the heart of the silver ring sings the line, where do I go ah, where do I go? Before the departure of the ambitious, change the world's beautiful imagination, suddenly burst like a soap bubble. Should I join Wu Cheng-gui? At least a few days to live at home, otherwise the city's hotels, see the day dozens of dollars, who can stand. Take that paper, ask the bus station small glass room in the scheduling staff, people said the reverse route, Baozhu take notes. Her bag, there is a ballpoint pen, out of the intention to bring. And forward a few dozen meters, to find the departure site, the car into the station, they also become that crowded people, Qiusheng seize the opportunity, even with the bag first squeeze up, with the bag to Baozhu occupied a seat, which is also just to see out of the doorway, to stick to the edge of the squeeze, drilling upwards with skillful strength. Baozhu elegantly stood at the bottom, let others first on, saw the car window sitting Qiusheng smiled at her proudly, her heart welled up a burst of happiness.
After a few trips across the city, the two arrived at the town of Kuodu, forty miles from the train station, before dark, and inquired about Wu Chenggui's home. The hometown language is the secret code of the joint, activating memory and emotion. Although Wu Chenggui did not know Qiusheng, the family was quite friendly. In the kitchen to the support of a bedpan, called first live down, tomorrow and then think of a way.
The two of them shared a set of bedding brought from home, a night cuddle, at first did not sleep well, the day is almost dawn, fell into a deep dream. Wake up already more than eight o'clock, the yard is very quiet. Mr. and Mrs. Wu Chenggui saw them sleep well, did not come into the kitchen, in the street to buy breakfast, let the children eat and go to school.
After the meal, the four hands, next to the door into the courtyard, will be a small house to put miscellaneous things cleaned out, told them to live. The first time I saw this, I was in the middle of the night, and I was in the middle of the night, and I was in the middle of the night. Wu Chenggui said, look where you say, three miles of hometown, can ask for your money? Go home and tell the world, can call people laugh at me. Wu Chenggui daughter-in-law said, do not suffer, first live in peace for a few days, and then think of a way. After a period of time when you make money, and then say the rent of the matter. Xi'an this place, all over the money, depending on whether you will pick up, as long as you are not afraid of suffering, every day can bend over the ground to pick up money. "No matter what, better than lying at home." Out more than ten years, surnamed Wu still a mouthful of hometown language, husband and wife in different accents, are subtle absorption of a little bit of each other's language, you have me, I have you look. Wu Chenggui existing a son and a daughter, respectively, in town to read middle school and elementary school, of course, they are not surnamed Wu, but with his wife's surname.
Where to live in peace, Qiusheng Baozhu two people in Guo Du street around for a while. The eyes and ears are full of strange sights, especially when people speak, the accent is short and strong, and it is really different from the old home. The two of them leaned a little closer to each other, dependent on each other. This Guo Du town is much larger than the northern dance ferry, but also a lot of foreign style, after all, is a suburb of Xi'an. Discussed a few rounds, bought two packages of snacks, two cabbage, a net pocket of apples, a roast chicken, four handheld back. Wu Chenggui husband and wife could not help but blame them for spending money indiscriminately. Baozhu went into the kitchen to help Wu Chenggui's woman cook. A while later, the children came back from school, everyone gathered around to eat. Qiusheng asked Wu Chenggui if there was any way to make money quickly.
"If you want to see money on the same day, then go to Rehabilitation Road and wholesale clothes, go back to Kuodu, pull a rope on the side of the road, and hang it there to sell."
The next day after breakfast, the two according to Wu Chenggui to write to a piece of paper on the bus route, backed up two trips to the eastern outskirts of the city's Rehabilitation Road. It is economically active in the early nineties, here near the University of Military Medicine and Xijing Hospital and named, adjacent to the railway station, bus station, close to the eastern suburbs of the large logistics distribution center, Guangdong's latest style of clothing, three days on this street, and then from all over the big and small vendors, ants as the pack transported back to the northwestern parts of the world and neighboring Shanxi Sichuan. This one-kilometer-long north-south road, all provinces and places to wholesale clothing people, see the day like running water, people crowded people from one person to another, airtight. Legend has it that the Wenzhou people were first here, between two small trees, hanging a wire is a stall, who first occupied is who, selling the latest fashionable clothing in the South, selling shoes made of kraft paper, daily income equivalent to the East and West two next door to a university professor and attending physician's monthly salary plus bonuses. Later, this place gradually formed the northwest region's largest wholesale clothing street, leading the way for thirty years. This is the need for quiet rehabilitation road, every day the sound of people, all kinds of vehicles, all kinds of life piling up, along with the north and south exit of the two roads, but also every day traffic jams, morning and evening stalls stalls peak, the police are densely populated, busy and chaotic, a little dredging is not conducive to the people and the car can't go, crowded Changle Avenue, east and west stretching for one or two kilometers of the congested road, any who's hands can not be unlocked, the horns screaming, the people are loud and noisy, thieves take advantage of the opportunity to get down, hooligans take advantage of the situation. Hooligans take advantage of the situation to make trouble, if you are not careful to get stuck in, peace and quiet breathing place are not.
Qiusheng and Baozhu have never seen so many people crowded together, first bluffed, the tiger ate the sky in general, I do not know where to enter, had to hold hands, so as not to be squeezed in the crowd scattered. Tough to move, people drilling in the cracks to squeeze, rehabilitation road back and forth a trip, the eyes are simply not enough to see what things are good, but also very cheap, but they do not have too much money in their hands, but also afraid to return to the Kuo Du no place to sell. The two discussed to go, spend sixty dollars, approved fifty pairs of "cotton socks" (in fact, acrylic material, can have three percent cotton on the great), carry in a black plastic bag, squeezed back to the town of GuoDu bus, more than at home in the days of the three volts of the harvest is also nervous.
After an early dinner, the two companions came to the street side of the street lamp, a piece of cut open snakeskin bag spread, people sit down on a small stool, opened. The asking price of two dollars five, get the price to two dollars, the most favorable, five dollars for three pairs. Less than two hours, fifty pairs of socks out, earned thirty dollars.
Tomorrow, the two went again, might as well be a little more bold, step a little bigger, batch of two hundred pairs of socks, increased colors and varieties. I'm not sure how much I'm going to be able to get out of this, but I think I'm going to be able to get out of this," he said. Every day, people come and go on Kuo Du Street, as if every passer-by needs socks. Well, not only do they need socks, but they also need scarves and gloves, sweaters and pants, cotton shoes and slippers, and even tweed jackets. And these two men with foreign accents go out of their way to carry all these things back to them, earning a not-so-greedy price difference.
The money turned out to be really so good, growing by a couple hundred dollars a day. After a month, they had a need of their own. They needed a small house, even four or five square feet, because it was getting cold and they couldn't always be on the side of the road. Wu Chenggui ran around for two days, helping to connect the dots, and rented a tiny front room at the corner of the end of the street. Of course, they began to pay Wu Chenggui rent, but also prepared a simple stove, open fire to cook their own food.
Every day, I sleep until I wake up naturally, and after eating at nine o'clock, the two of them go to the store together and open for business. The wall outside the door, a large sheet of plastic sheeting, nailed two rows of nails, hanging out the clothes. There is a preliminary favorite, you can go to the house to try. After twelve o'clock, one person to guard the store, a person ran home, simple down a small pot of thick noodles, even pots and pans, served in a bowl, the other person with a small pot to eat. When the store closes at night, the two of them take the pot and bowl, go home together, and make dinner. They don't eat out at restaurants, they do it themselves to save money. They never buy their own meat, the key is that there is no time to do, usually only eat green vegetables and noodles, waiting for Wu Chenggui's family to improve once a week, Qiusheng said to Baozhu, this is called maximum savings.
Nearing the New Year, Qiusheng sent a thousand dollars to his family, told his mother to stay home and take care of the children, they do not go back, take advantage of the New Year to earn a good gang. The batch of goods, carefully calculated, to Wu Chenggui's two children each bought a blouse, a family of four sent eight pairs of socks.
