Sail across the sea

Chapter 76 The outside world is helpless
Due to a rain in the evening, some water remained everywhere on Renqiao Street.

Yin Xiaobiao walked two streets before finding a dry place in front of a shop.He simply cleaned the ground, and then he was ready to lie down and sleep.

"what is your job?"

A voice sounded beside him without warning, startling Yin Xiaobiao.Looking up, I saw a person standing in front of him, about 20 years old, not tall, but quite strong.

"I, I'm passing by."

Yin Xiaobiao stood up and stammered to explain to the visitor.

He didn't know who the other party was, but his behavior was indeed somewhat suspicious, and it was not surprising that he was interrogated.He felt uneasy, afraid that the other party was a policeman, and he would handcuff him without saying a word and send him to sieve sand.

The person who asked Yin Xiaobiao the question was none other than Ke Shuilong.After Gao Fan explained a few words to him, he hid together with Chen Xingquan, leaving only Ke Shuilong to negotiate with Yin Xiaobiao.

"Aren't you from Renqiao?" Ke Shuilong asked, frowning, and at the same time scanned Yin Xiaobiao up and down, as if he was full of doubts about his identity.

"Comrade, don't get me wrong, I'm not a bad person." Yin Xiaobiao said, "I'm from Maolin. Look, this is my student ID card."

"Are you a student?" Ke Shuilong took the student ID card handed over by Yin Xiaobiao, opened it, looked at it, and asked, "Your name is Yin Xiaobiao?"

"Yes."

"What are you doing at Renqiao?"

"I... I'm here to buy something."

"shopping?"

"It's just... I heard that the plastic products in Renqiao are cheap, so I want to buy some and sell them back to us."

"Aren't you a student?"

"I've already graduated, that is, in July."

"Oh... then what are you doing here?"

"I want to sleep here."

"Sleeping? Didn't you find the hotel?"

"I... lost my money."

There was some nasality in Yin Xiaobiao's voice.

Yin Xiaobiao came to Renqiao because he was bewitched by Gao Fan.

In the last month of his sophomore year, Yin Xiaobiao was arranged to sit at the same table as Gao Fan.Yin Xiaobiao knew that his academic performance was not good, and the college entrance examination must be hopeless, so he didn't think about asking Gao Fan for some learning experience, but he was quite interested in Gao Fan's association with Shuinan people.

By side-by-side, Yin Xiaobiao learned that the production of small commodities in Shuinan Renqiao is very developed. The pencil case that Gao Fan gave to the class came from Renqiao. The price of Cangtang is as high as seventy or eighty cents.

It was at that time that Yin Xiaobiao had a thought in his heart, maybe after the college entrance examination, he could go to Renqiao to wholesale a batch of pencil bags and sell them back to Cangtang.

Assuming that a pencil case can earn 100 cents, 50 is 200 yuan, and 100 is 100 yuan.If you can earn [-] yuan by taking a trip to Renqiao, what a great thing that is.

His father is an ordinary worker in a supply and marketing cooperative, and his mother works in a large collective enterprise. The combined salary of the two is less than 100 yuan.There are three siblings in his family, and his grandparents also need support. The life of the family is tight, which makes Yin Xiaobiao have a strong desire to make money since he was a child.

Yin Xiaobiao did not dare to tell his parents about this matter, because he knew that his parents would never allow him to do so.Cangtang is a place of conservative thinking. In the minds of most Cangtang people, doing business is an irresponsible and extremely risky thing.

Yin Xiaobiao is just a child under the age of 17, how dare his parents let him go to Renqiao to buy goods, and then bring them back to Cangtang for sale.

After the college entrance examination, Yin Xiaobiao, like other children, played wildly in the county for a few days, and then proposed to his parents that he would go to the countryside to play with his grandparents.

Parents are not surprised by Yin Xiaobiao's request, because Yin Xiaobiao would also go to the countryside for a few days during winter and summer vacations.His father gave Yin Xiaobiao 20 yuan to bring to his grandparents, and then let him go.

Yin Xiaobiao got on a long-distance bus in the county town, but instead of going to the countryside, he got off the bus halfway, and then climbed on a freight train bound for Shuinan, starting his first business trip.

By the way, because there is a railway passing by Cangtang, the children in Cangtang are no strangers to pulling trains.

Yin Xiaobiao's plan is to use the 20 yuan given by his father to go to Renqiao to purchase a batch of plastic products, such as pencil cases, and then bring them back to Luping for sale.

If what Gao Fan said is true, there is a difference of two to three times between the price of small commodities in Renqiao and Luping. A small commodity of 20 yuan can be sold for at least 6 to 70 yuan, which is equivalent to a profit of 4 to 50 yuan.

Then he went back to the countryside and gave 20 yuan to his grandparents, and he had 4 to 50 yuan in his hands.

At that time, he can consider going to a showdown with his parents and using the money he earns to prove that he has the ability to make money.

From Cangtang to Renqiao, back and forth, it takes at most a week.There is no means of communication between parents and grandparents, so it is impossible to know that he went to Renqiao without authorization.

When he earns the money back, his parents see that he can earn a month's wages for an adult in a week. Is there any reason to stop him?

The plan is beautiful, but the reality is very skinny.Yin Xiaobiao changed cars several times on the road and finally arrived at Renqiao.When he got off the truck in a daze, he found that his trousers had been cut with a blade at some point, and the 20 yuan he had sewn into his trousers before going out had disappeared.

At that moment, Yin Xiaobiao felt as if five thunders were hitting his head, and he was stunned.

Without the money, he couldn't buy goods, so he had to climb the train back again.

And lost the money, he will not be able to explain to his parents.What's more, as a child of a poor family, he also knows what 20 yuan means to his family. It is the living expenses of his grandparents for the next few months. It is very difficult for the family to squeeze out so much money.

Thinking of all kinds of terrible consequences, Yin Xiaobiao's first thought was not to go back, so that his parents felt that he had run away from home.Maybe the parents will be very anxious and sad, but if they don't see it, they should just pretend it doesn't exist.After I figured out a way to earn a lot of money, I would go back and plead guilty to my parents, and let my father beat me severely.

However, this thought just passed by in a flash. The outside world was very helpless, and he didn't know if he could survive in this world.

He decided to find some odd jobs in Renqiao, earn enough 20 yuan, and then implement his business plan.

It takes a lot of time to do odd jobs, and I will definitely not be able to hide it from my parents after I go back.But if he could make money, maybe his father would be less harsh on him, right?
