Back to 80, start from gold digging

Chapter 69

There is a chest of drawers in Zhao's house, which is no more than [-] square meters long. Except for two camphor wood boxes for clothes, it is considered the largest and most valuable piece of furniture.At the same time, it is also the most useful storage cabinet at home.Usually, whether it is needles, threads, clothes corners or cloth, all useful things are put in it.

Zhao Wenduo collected the leather these days, and every day when he came back from the village, he carried a rainproof silk bag in his hand, and when he got home, he stuffed it directly into the chest of drawers.

The people in the family also know that there is money in there, but they don't know how much is there. It should be quite a lot when it looks bulging.

Although they are all very curious, but watching Zhao Wenduo busy in and out, sometimes dozing off when he is tired and can't eat a few mouthfuls, no one can bear to ask in detail. This family is gone, and I can't grow legs and run away by myself, so let's just let it go, and I will know in the end.

More than half a month later, Zhao Wenduo came back at noon and said that the business was done today. After lunch, he would announce the payment in the afternoon.

What I was waiting for was this moment. The few people at home didn’t understand anything except the milk baby. Don't care about anything.The three grown-ups all looked excited, sitting on the stool by the edge of the Kang, staring at the table with six eyes.

Zhao Wenduo opened the chest of drawers and took out the rainproof silk blue bag, which was indeed filled with money. He took out the small account book and took out several ten-cent bills, one cent two cents, one cent two cents hair.

"Here, help me count, how many are these—" Zhao Wenduo threw the bag on the kang, and found something for the three of them to do, so as not to worry about it.

Ouch, this is really a good job. My favorite thing is counting money.

The bag was thrown by her side, Li Cuizhen picked it up, pulled the bottom of the bag and poured it out. In an instant, colorful money bills piled up on the kang.

"Both of you come quickly and help count." Li Cuizhen, eyes full of small $$, didn't lift her head, she said to Zhao Mingyu who was on the stool and Zhao Wenying who was next to Kang Yan'er.

A bag of money looks bulging, but it looks like a lot, but the three of them moved together to count it quickly, and it didn’t take a quarter of an hour. This is the result of deliberately slowing down the movements for fun. If it is at a normal speed, the time will be even faster. short.

Most of the money bills in this pile are ten-yuan and five-yuan bills, and the stacks are all neatly stacked, and all of them are added together to calculate the number.

"The total is 480, [-] yuan, [-] cents." Zhao Wenying took a pen and paper, and wrote down the number of ten-cent bills, then added them up, and reported the number.

"It's only been more than half a month, and I have earned such a small amount of money. My three girls can really do it." Li Cuizhen smiled wrinkledly, and groped for the pile of money in front of her.

In a family like theirs with an annual balance of less than ten, a thousand yuan is definitely a lot of money, not to mention half a month, it is half a year, but few families in this village can earn so much.

Take Xiawu Jiang's family as an example, except for the youngest one who does not earn money, everyone else is paid.The whole family can get more than 200 yuan a month, and it has not reached this amount in half a year.You know, they are one of the households with the highest income in the village.

The family earns half a year, which is not as good as their family alone earns half a month. This account is very easy to calculate, even an illiterate woman can figure it out on her fingers.

I like to use this comparison the most, and Li Cuizhen couldn't help but feel straight and sweet in her heart.

"Don't count it all on your own head, there is half of Dakui here." Zhao Mingyu saw that she couldn't open her eyes with a happy smile, and reminded her appropriately.

Li Cuizhen rolled his eyes at him, and said: "Forget it, it's all counted in, and you need to remind me. Our family is 740, [-] cents each. Boss, do you think I counted it right?"

Zhao Wenying looked down at the counting paper, and said with a smile: "Yes, my mother is very clear about this little account, and there are not many people who have gone to school here, so you sneaked in."

"That's right, don't look at me for a day without reading, this calculation is no worse than you." Li Cuizhen boasted.I haven't studied and can't write, so I can still draw and understand the number. In addition, I have a dumb child, and I can count it with two fingers.

I have to admit that Li Cuizhen still has a bit of talent in this regard.Not to mention that they haven't studied, even those who have studied for a few days can't figure it out. They can add and subtract within a hundred. At her age, there are not many women in the village who can do it.

"With this money, Kai Chun'er will not be a problem to build a house. Originally, he planned to have three rooms, but now he can consider five rooms." Zhao Mingyu was quite happy to see so much money, but he was more reserved than Li Cuizhen.

"It's more than that. If the money can only be used to build five rooms, wouldn't it be enough? But it's a small 2000 yuan, not only to build a house, but also to dig a well. That's super capacity."

"Shall we dig the well too?" Zhao Mingyu didn't plan for this, all he wanted was to build the house, that would be great.After all, there are only a few houses that can be built in the whole village, and they are one of them thanks to this sum of money.According to the situation in the past, it may not be possible to save enough money in a few years.

"Fight, why don't you fight? With this condition, of course, it's all in one step. It's convenient to use the water if you have a well, so you don't have to fight with people every day. If you fight more, he will fight less. Besides, one day It's so troublesome to carry two loads of water. Yes, you never carry it, so naturally you don't know how tired you are." Li Cuizhen's heart aches for Zhao Mingyu, and he doesn't need him to do any heavy or tiring work.But if it is demoted, it is really demoted, which pot belongs to which pot is not opened and which pot is not lifted, just talk about the shortcomings.

"I'm not in good health, weak and weak. I'm not much better now. I was responsible for the chopping of firewood two days ago. Didn't you say that I'm stronger than before—"

"Stop, stop, stop quickly." Li Cuizhen interrupted directly: "I lost track after just a few words, and now I'm working on digging wells, not to mention what's available, who doesn't know what kind of person you are."

Zhao Mingyu was not annoyed when she was soft-spoken, she just followed her own thoughts and said: "I am also worried that the money will not be enough, even though it is more than 1000 yuan, it seems like a lot, but when it is really used, it will feel less. "

Building a house and pumping water pressure wells are all big and big expenses, no more than those miscellaneous small things, only these two items are a thousand less, not counting the cost after construction, just the layout These things in the house are also a lot of money.It can be covered with a big tile-roofed house, and there is nothing in the house. Does it look good? You can’t install some furniture and electrical appliances in it, and you have to save some money for the remaining seven or eight hundred.

Li Cuizhen didn't think too much about anything at first, but after hearing what he said, she thought about it deeply, and it was indeed the case. Just building a house was just the first step, and there were a series of other things behind. Steps to go.If everything was covered, the money would not be too small to be missed.

That is, earn less and spend less, and earn more and spend more.People at different stages have different pursuits.Just like the current Zhao family, when they didn't have the money, they lived in a courtyard and lived in a house of [-] square meters for many years.Now that I have these thousand seven, the things I think about are different, not only the house needs to be built big, but also the house has to be installed.Once you have the conditions, you also want to satisfy them materially.

But the problem is that the speed of the two vehicles does not match, and the speed of making money has not kept up with the rising consumption concept.This is a bit embarrassing, the idea is plump, but the reality is skinny.

For a moment, the two of them chose to be silent in unison, thinking about what could be saved, which would be enough for daily use and not cost much.

The room returned from bustling to quiet. Zhao Wenduo, who was sitting at the floor table collecting accounts, had just finished checking the numbers when he heard Zhao Mingyu's words, and immediately echoed: "Who said there are only more than 1000 yuan." Saying that, he got up and opened the chest of drawers again, this time pulling out the schoolbag from the left.

What's the matter, what else?

The three of them looked over together, their eyes became brighter.

It just so happens that I haven't had enough counting before, so I can do it again.

It's just that this time it's different, the schoolbag doesn't fling over like a rainproof silk bag, it looks a bit heavy.

Li Cuizhen couldn't help but said: "You put the money in your schoolbag, and you just put it away, messing with the books - mess -" The words were only halfway through, and they couldn't continue.

In front of the table, Zhao Wenduo untied the strap of the schoolbag, pinched the bottom and buckled it down, and poured out all the bundled money in a dozen bundles, until the schoolbag was empty and half of the books were gone .

What is in the co-authored schoolbag is not books, but the whole bag is money.

The ten yuan Great Unity bills were all bundled together, and scattered on half of the table in a twisted manner.

All three looked straight.

"This—all of these?" Zhao Mingyu's voice trembled, and he couldn't believe his eyes.

Zhao Wenduo gave him a very affirmative answer: "Yes, all of them." There were not so many in the first place, but the bet later doubled.

"Oh, my god, how much is this?" Li Cuizhen didn't even hold back, she pulled up her shoes, threw herself at the table, sat down, her eyes were not enough to see.I still don't forget to command Zhao Wenying: "Boss, close the door quickly—" Don't let people see it again, such old money will attract thieves again.

Zhao Wenying closed the door quite obediently, walked over, pointed and said, "These are all ten yuan bills, so a bundle is one thousand, right?" Zhao Wenduo looked at Zhao Wenduo as if confirming.

"Yes."

Zhao Wenying counted, and the more she counted, the brighter her eyes became: "...nineteen, twenty, 21--21 bundles, two--twenty-one thousand--"

"How much?" Zhao Mingyu asked.

"Twenty thousand and one thousand." After confirming it again, Zhao Wenying dared to report it completely, as if she was afraid that if the count was wrong, the money would disappear.

21 bundles, 1000 yuan for one bundle, 21 yuan for ten bundles, [-] yuan for twenty bundles, isn't [-] bundles worth [-] yuan?

Li Cuizhen didn't fully believe her eyes until now, she let out a long sigh of relief from the excitement, and pressed her beating heart, don't get over excited.

"At the beginning, I said that the stupid boy was bragging, how easy it is to make a ten thousand yuan household, when the money is so easy to earn, it is said that ten thousand is ten thousand. But it took a long time, and our family has also become a ten thousand yuan household. gone."

"What a fool, what are you bragging about?" Zhao Mingyu is most interested in this kind of topic now, and after hearing this, he followed up with a question.

Li Cuizhen was also happy at the moment, so she learned the history of his uncle's fortune from the young man on the way back from the tricycle ride, and learned it with more details.At the end, he said: "I think he is bragging, how much money he can earn by selling a red brick, and can earn a ten thousand yuan household in three or two months. But compared with our family, it is really nothing. The third one didn't take a month to get back so old, he's even more powerful than his uncle."

"That's right, it's a lot of seriousness." Zhao Mingyu nodded vigorously, and said: "I've done the calculations, and it's only 20 days if you play all the time. On average, you can carry more than 1000 yuan a day. This is more than enough. The average person’s salary is two or three years.”

Li Cuizhen said: "But that is to say, I really didn't expect that this business can make so much money." In those years, the management was strict, and no one could have such thoughts.As soon as it was released just now, many people were moved by the wind and set up their stalls early.At that time, she was still thinking, with such great courage, she is not afraid of making another change and arresting people again.Looking at it now, those are all smart people, who know that this business can make money quickly.

"If you really think so, then you're wrong." Wu Dakui came in from the outside, and heard the voice answer: "Not everyone can make money in business, and there are those who lose everything, even the trousers. Those who were pawned, like the family named Dai at the south end of the town, probably fainted from crying in the hut right now."

While talking and thinking about the scene, Wu Dakui couldn't help laughing, he happily found a stool to sit on, and when he raised his eyes, he saw the stack of money neatly placed on the table, his voice stopped abruptly, and he stood there in a daze. In place.

What I said just now is clear and logical, with ease, but no matter how hard I turn my head, the whole style of painting changes.

Several members of the Zhao family were amused by the scene in front of them. Wu Dakui saw what he was like before, which is really stupid.

Zhao Mingyu couldn't help but happily stepped forward and pulled, saying: "Don't you know you've made money? It scares you. Come and sit down."

Wu Dakui was dragged to sit down, until his butt touched the stool, Kaba Kaba's eyes woke up like a dream, and he kept saying 'ohhh', he also laughed out loud as he felt silly, and explained: " I know I made some money, but——I didn’t expect it to be so much.” Who has seen such a bunch, Hao Xuan didn’t make a sound just now.

If Li Cuizhen is a talented little expert in accounting, then Wu Dakui is an insensitive non-staff person who only knows numbers and becomes quite dull when using them.

For example, three plus two plus three plus four equals twelve, Li Cuizhen may get the answer in two seconds, Wu Dakui needs to count five or seven times, and these numbers are clearly in his eyes , but if you add up the front, you will forget the back, the kind that you don't remember at all.

That's why he clearly knew that the business had made money, but he didn't have any more ideas.Even when his family members asked him how much money he earned, he thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a result. He roughly estimated the amount, which was only a quarter of that.

This is not to say that he is so stupid that he can't even understand an account, it's just that he is not that sensitive to numbers.When calculating the price alone, it can still be dealt with, as long as it is not continuously accumulated and subtracted.

Zhao Wenduo also saw that he had this weakness. She was the one who handled the big orders, and she was also responsible for connecting with the two merchants outside the customs every morning. These situations also caused Wu Dakui to be unclear about the real benefits. The reason.

But no matter what, there are more than [-] bundles of real goods at a fair price, and it doesn't matter whether they can keep accounts or not.

In front of several people, Zhao Wenduo reported the amount of daily receipts and payments according to the date, including some extra expenses, such as the amount of damage on the way, and the amount of personal relationships, which must be deducted one by one.In the end, the remaining cash was the amount that had been fully investigated before, which totaled 480 yuan and [-] cents.

After wiping off the fraction on the right side of the decimal point, the amount that should be distributed to Wu Dakui is 1 yuan.

Twelve bundles of Da Tuan and an extra 240 three-yuan loose tickets were all placed on a piece of furoshiki that was pieced together and sewn together.

Zhao Wenduo Lianbu pushed forward with the money, and said, "These are the amounts that Uncle Da Kui got for you, you can check them." He reported a number for him to check.

Wu Dakui swung his arm to the outside, and said: "What are you looking for? I don't worry about your work, third girl. It's just that the money is too much, so I can't ask for it." He opened the top cloth, took two bundles in his hand, Pushed the rest back.

"This business is what Miss San thinks about, so I'll do my best to get a lot of it."

Wu Dakui is self-aware, whether it's the idea of ​​taking the leather, or contacting the buyer with a price, even the final battle to face the difficulties and roll up his sleeves is the decision of Zhao Wenduo under pressure.

In comparison, in the whole process, his role is really not great, that is, helping with receipt, payment, transportation, and anyone with a little strength can do this job.In other words, it is really not that big of a face for someone else to take a position that can be replaced by the main force.

"It's not going to work. We've already agreed on half of the family, so let's take it—" Without waiting for Zhao Wenduo to react, Li Cuizhen spoke out first.

The money was indeed a lot, so much that anyone who saw it would have no way to go.But no matter how many things there are, you can't mess up the scales. How can things that have been decided be changed just because of this.

"Second sister-in-law, I really can't ask for—" Wu Dakui was still refusing.

Zhao Mingyu interjected at the side: "Let's put it away, I haven't lost much effort these days. I heard that I even got into a fight with someone, and I'm lucky that I didn't get hurt. We're not outsiders either, we are all related, we share I am happy with the money."
