Back to 80, start from gold digging

Chapter 62
Zhao Wenduo straightened his face, and said very seriously: "No, just to tell you, I will continue to collect the leather tomorrow."

"Ah, I still have to collect it. I can't sell these, so what should I do if I collect them—"

Zhao Wenduo looked at him anxiously, and laughed happily: "It's good that they don't accept it. We can just take it home and process it to make a mattress. It's fluffy, slippery and warm. How nice it is."

Wu Dakui had an incredible expression on his face, never thought that Zhao Wenduo would say that, it's over, it's over, this child is in a panic, and he started talking nonsense, what's the matter?
"Girl, why don't we go back to the town and ask Dr. Wang from the big hospital to show us, so don't be provoked. Isn't it just 80 yuan worth of skins? We can afford it. You can't dig into the horns, Hurt yourself again." Wu Dakui mumbled.

Zhao Wenduo just smiled sullenly, until he heard 'If Dr. Wang is not good enough, he can find Cui Sanpao from the next village, his wife has heard that she can see things'. sick.

Only then did he stop yelling: "I'm not sick. I don't need to go to the hospital or find someone to see me. I'll be fine if I collect more skins."

"What, I really want to continue, is it okay?" After reading a word, Wu Dakui also realized that Zhao Wen was mostly teasing him, except that there were a lot of unconstrained and far-fetched ideas. big problem.

It's just that he can't forget the matter of taking skins, which makes him very puzzled.

"There is a problem. I suspect that there is a big problem in this news, so I have to charge more, extra charge, and charge as much as possible." Zhao Wenduo said deliberately misinterpreted.

"No, I'm asking—" Wu Dakui wanted to say that what he was asking was that the leather bag would not fail to be sold, and it would be thrown into his hands again.As soon as he explained the two words, he suddenly realized that the meaning of Zhao Wenduo's words had been clarified.

"Miss San, you are saying that someone contacted the foreigner and said that there is something strange about the fact that they have a lot of skins in their hands, isn't it?" Wu Dakui is not stupid, and after collecting the skins these days, the situation inside is very clear.The reason why I didn't figure it out was entirely because of anxiety.Once people get angry in a hurry, their minds tend to get confused.

Zhao Wenduo nodded: "That's how I feel. It will take two days to see the specific situation." If it is as she guessed, it doesn't take much, and the truth will be revealed within three days at most.

Wu Dakui was silent for a while, thinking about the possibility, and finally said slowly: "Then how long will you continue to go to the village as you said?" Spend, so long?

You must know that they have made a lot of money after working hard for half a month.What I said earlier to earn a year's worth of money was purely the minimum target value, and it was far exceeded on the first day.All this money is invested in the following acquisitions, and under the premise that the current consignee does not accept it, there is no money to return the next day. It is completely continuous to spend money, and every dollar must be brought back I paid it out with the feeling that I couldn't get it back, and it hurts just thinking about it.

His thoughts are all on his face. Zhao Wenduo can't see it. There is a huge risk, one mistake may all be in vain, and all the hard work of these days will be in vain.

In particular, the safest way is to stop here, sell the skins in your hands if they can be sold, and admit them if they don't.As Wu Dakui said, the 80 yuan is affordable.After all, the rest is still big, so this loss is really nothing.

The two of them stopped doing it, and it would be considered good if they paid a penny.

However, knowing that there is something wrong with the news, and the trend of the leather has not shown any decline, it is really a bit unwilling to quit like this.

It only takes about three days to show the clues. Even if they buy it with all their strength, it will cost a thousand yuan at most.

If things go well as expected and the money in hand can be doubled at least, the risk is worth taking.

"Three days, at least three days." Zhao Wenduo gestured.

Wu Dakui quickly calculated that if he drove at full speed in three days, he could leave more than half of the village. This was the second trip back, and it was faster than the first trip.If it is fully paid, it will cost more than a thousand yuan. If it is really worse than expected, it will be a loss of this amount.

It's all because I played for nothing these days and made less money.

Wu Dakui gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, then we'll charge it for another three days. Isn't it just a thousand dollars, we can afford it."

This is really money in the pocket, and the voice is rough.If it was placed half a month ago, let alone 1000 yuan, it would be 100 yuan, and the whole family might not be able to make up even if they dig through their pockets.

You know, this is the era when the per capita salary was only 40 yuan.In a small place like Qiushui Town, many rural families can't reach this number.Two or thirty yuan is enough to feed a family, let alone five or six people, and it is enough to avoid forced labor every month. If there is one or two yuan left, it is saved from between the teeth.

1000 yuan is undoubtedly a considerable amount of money. If you add this amount, you can almost buy a small house on the town street.

It is precisely because of knowing this that Wu Dakui can nod his head so quickly to support her decision, so Zhao Wenduo feels that this is a partner worth continuing to cooperate with.If there is no accident, he can be involved in the next big money-making plan.

The two chatted while walking, and arrived at the entrance of the village without knowing it.

At the connection between the town and the village, there is a river before the entrance of the village, flowing around the village in a semi-enclosed manner from east to west.

This is also the river that flows to the bottom of Nanshan Mountain. The bank of the river where Zhao Wenduo wrestled last time is in the middle of the village entrance to Nanshan Mountain.

The river here is not that wide, and it is winter again, and the frozen river is about two to three feet long.

With less work in winter, the children in the village have more time to play.And sliding the sledge on the glacier and making it slippery has become an indispensable daily item.

They form groups of three or two, four or five, and get together to laugh and fight, and hang out for a whole day.

The children gather together to bounce and jump, chasing each other, just listening to the sound will feel lively and interesting.

The villagers are busy with their livelihoods all day long, so they rarely take care of these children. When they occasionally go in and out of the village, they just take a look at them and watch them play happily, so they feel at ease.

Most people with children at home are in this mood. When they see a bunch of children, they will check to see if there is one of their own.

Zhao Wenduo has the appearance of a child, but the heart of an adult.Falling into an unreliable family, in addition to worrying about livelihood, for the one who is younger than her, the old mother cares a little more.

The Zhao family's fourth child is only six years old this year, and such a big child is the most playful age.On weekdays, in order to share the burden of the family, he always finds some small jobs to do.Plowing and digging insects in spring, busy cutting grass in summer, harvesting rice grains in autumn, and picking wattle shells in winter, the little children can't be idle all year round.

It's the twelfth lunar month, it's really cold, and I can't do those small jobs, so I have time to play with other children.

I went out for a long time that day, maybe it was because I played a lot, and I got sick because of sweating and being exposed to the wind.After taking two pills, it didn't help, so Zhao Mingyu asked her to take her to a small hospital to get a bottle for the first time.I guess it was also the time when Xiaowu was called last time, but I was frightened, so I paid special attention to this aspect.

In the end, I went to a small hospital. The doctor said that I just caught a cold, and I didn’t need to use a bottle, just a small needle.The two of them came back after only staying for half an hour, as the doctor said, Xiao Si sweated a lot when he came back, and his fever subsided within the same day.

The children's home is also playful, and they ran out to find her little friends the next day after the fever subsided, and they ran on the ice and played in the snow together, and they didn't go home all day.

The family members feel that this child has been busy for a year, and finally has a full day off. This month, let her run wild and play as she likes.Anyway, the family doesn't need her right now, and there is no extra manpower to take care of her, so it would be good to find a place to arrange myself.

Knowing that she spends most of her time playing with ice on the big river, Zhao Wenduo stepped on the bridge deck and turned her head to look at the children on the ice. The people in her family are the most familiar, and she found the target with just two eyes. Zhao Wennan was chasing the one in front of her. The little boy was running, one of his legs seemed to be short, and he was limping and not following smoothly.

"Hey, third girl, what's wrong with your little four's leg? Why is he limping? Is he playing wrestling?" Wu Dakui also cast his eyes on the ice, just in time to see Zhao Wennan's awkward appearance.

Zhao Wenduo frowned, and looked at it for a while, until there was an urging voice behind him: "Let's go, this small wooden bridge is not a wide asphalt road, you can stop if you want. You are so blocked, no one can get across. "

The small single-plank bridge built with tree boards is only more than one meter wide. Normally, one person can pass through it. If you walk in the opposite direction, you need two people to give way sideways at the same time. If you walk in the same direction, if the person in front stops, the back will be easily blocked.

Zhao Wenduo glanced back, the two women were both unfamiliar faces, and they should be from the village inside.This road is the shortest way to the town, and some people from the neighboring village will also choose to pass through Bailangli Village and take the small wooden bridge.

Therefore, I often see some unfamiliar faces passing by the village.Most of them are villagers from other villages.

No matter where people are walking on the same bridge, they really can't block the way. Zhao Wenduo looked back, took a few steps to catch up with Wu Dakui in front, and slowed down after getting off the bridge.

The two women from other villages also stepped down the bridge, jumped over the two of them, and walked for a while before continuing to chat about the previous topic.

"...I just said that she is not good at technology, see, this is right."

"The family also lacked knowledge and ignorance, plus they were careless. They just thought it was a child who got stuck in a fall and hit his leg, so it was delayed. A good little girl was paralyzed."

"Where is this? It will be called a really sad person in the future. A lame girl, no matter how good-looking she is, it is difficult to find a good wife with such a big defect. This life will be ruined."

"But it's just that, I don't know how to fix it—"

The two were getting farther and farther away, and the voice gradually became inaudible.

Just these two paragraphs have already shocked Zhao Wenduo's heart, and when he looked at Zhao Wennan again, he was a little more careful.

Wu Dakui is an outsider after all, and he doesn't know what's going on inside. Even though he also heard the words of the two women from other villages, he didn't think too much about it. He just said it casually before.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Wenduo didn't respond just now, but now he slowly shook his head: "It doesn't look like he's wrestling." Then he said: "Xiaosi had a cold and a fever a few days ago and got an injection. It's all good, why is it lame?"

It is an explanation, more like talking to himself, and thinking about that possibility while talking.

Don't be afraid of everything, just in case, if it is really wrong, it will be terrible, enough to affect a lifetime of major events, but there is no room for delay.

At the moment, he no longer hesitated, and shouted to the ice in the distance: "Little Si, Zhao Wennan, stop playing and go home." That's it, I haven't given up on playing yet.

Zhao Wennan was also obedient. Hearing the shouting, he saw that it was her third sister, and said goodbye to his little friend with a smile. Those with long and short feet could trot, and they were very fast.

"Third Sister, you're back from town." The little girl was smiling all over her face, she had fluffy hair on her head, and a hat made of nylon thread was pulled down and stood upside down, as if she was frightened and her whole body exploded. macular cat.

"I came out to play early in the morning, and I didn't feel too cold. I even took off my hat and forgot about my illness." Zhao Wenduo is not a person who likes to worry, but it is rare for this little sister Will nag a few words.

"I don't feel cold, I'm running hot." Zhao Wennan raised his head and said, "Actually, I only came out for a while, and I didn't play for long. Third sister, you called me."

After playing for a while, the hair on the front of the forehead is wet. If you spend more time, you will be covered in sweat, and you will easily get sick when the wind blows.

I was young and didn't understand these things, so I pointed to the adults at home to remind me to watch.

"What's wrong with your leg? You're limping when you walk, did you fall and hit it?" Zhao Wenduo intentionally probed, if it was really caused by a fall, he would feel at ease.

"No, I'm good at skating. Xiaopang and the others just fell and squatted. I haven't fallen." The little girl puffed out her chest proudly, and when she looked down at her injured leg, she lowered her voice a little. Sadly said: "I don't know what's going on, it's numb and painful here, I've rubbed it a lot, but it's still not good."

"When did it start, remember?"

"Well, after I came back with my father that day, I felt a little pain when I recovered."

After all, the little girl is young, and the description is not so detailed, but the general meaning is clear, and it is indeed a symptom that only appeared after returning from the health center.

After Zhao Wenduo got this information, he didn't ask any more questions. He talked to Wu Dakui and asked him to take the leather back to Wu's house on a bicycle. She took Zhao Wennan by the side and walked home in a different way. .

I want to sell leather in the morning, so I go out early.The merchant didn't come and confiscated the skins, so he didn't waste much time, and it was less than nine o'clock when he entered the house.

Zhao Mingyu took a few catties of soaked beans half an hour ago to the mill to push the pulp, and came back to order tofu cubes for the New Year.

According to local customs, tofu, fish, and lettuce are eaten for the New Year’s Eve dinner, implying surplus and wealth in the new year. No matter how difficult the family is, they will try their best to prepare these three items for auspiciousness and good luck.

Some ingredients that will be used for the Chinese New Year can be prepared in advance, so that in the two days before the new year, everything has to be cleaned up, everything has to be done, and something will be missed in a hurry.

Originally, Zhao Mingyu wouldn't need such a little work, but Zhao Wenying did it in less than an hour when he had his hands free.It's just that Luo Yubao came over early in the morning and called her away, asking her to help with some work.

Needless to say, Zhao Wenlan was the first one to go out, and the embroidery factory was rushing to make New Year's supplies. For more than half a month, he had been working from dawn to dusk.

Only the mother and son were left at home, staring at each other on the kang, either amused or just sat there.

Zhao Wenduo's work and rest time for the past half month is relatively regular. When he goes out in the morning, he goes to the town to sell leather, and returns home after more than an hour, and then goes to the villages with the guy who received the goods.

The one who came back today was obviously earlier, and also brought Xiaosi Zhao Wennan back.This little girl had just gone out for a short time, and usually she would not go home when it was dark, but she listened to her third sister and followed her back.

"Why did I come back so quickly today? It didn't even take me an hour." Given the distance from the village to the town, he almost walked there and returned within a few minutes.

Those leather dealers were so forthright, they probably gave the money without even looking at the leather.

These days the leather was selling well, Li Cuizhen just regarded the other party as a regular customer, and there was a degree of trust between them, and the procedures in the buying and selling process were also reduced, and she didn't expect that this time it would not be so smooth.

The skin was taken away by Wu Dakui, and Zhao Wenduo came back empty-handed, no wonder it was misinterpreted.

If it was another time, Zhao Wenduo might be able to explain a few more words, telling her mother that the leather had not been sold, and she was thinking about stockpiling more goods.It's just that at this moment, he wasn't thinking about it at all, and simply replied: "Yes." That was the answer.

Li Cuizhen didn't think much of it, usually she didn't talk much, she said a few more words when she was happy, and she didn't even say a word when she was unhappy. Anyway, she made an 'um' sound, which was within the acceptable range.

According to the itinerary for these days, it is time to leave after returning to the town for a short while.Li Cuizhen thought it was the same today, so Zhao Wenduo didn't intend to pack up, but instead sat down on the Kang, not even touching the chairs on the floor.

If you can't stay here for more than 2 minutes, you won't go up to the kang at all. It's a habit you've developed, and you can tell at a glance that you don't plan to leave in a short time.

"Aren't you going to collect the skins for a while?" Li Cuizhen didn't wait for an answer, and said to herself: "But it's true, I'm tired after working these days, so it's good to have a rest." People forget her age, she is only half a child.

Zhao Wenduo talked, how could it be faster and more effective to tell Li Cuizhen, Zhao Wennan over there had already answered the conversation: "Mom, my third sister is not going to the village anymore, she said she will take me to the hospital later."

This little girl is also quick-mouthed, and she just spit out what Zhao Wenduo said to her just now.
