Back to 80, start from gold digging

Next to the railway dormitory, several single-family red brick houses were built, and the station master's family lived in the one on the far side.

This is not a secret in a small town, you can find out after a little inquiring.

Zhao Mingyu got up early in the morning, and left the house when the sun was about to light up.Go out and block people? Of course, the sooner the better.He had to search the hearts of those people in order to get things done.

The information Xiao Li gave is indeed correct. Recently, several groups of people have been in contact with the car wagon. The autumn waters are high and the forests are dense, and high-quality wood is produced.Some timber merchants from other places come here to choose to buy.

The wood was bought, but something went wrong when transporting it back.For them, the price of road transportation is high, not to mention the long distance, and it is more troublesome to pass through the checkpoints.Railway transportation is the first choice, with high safety and efficiency.

It's just that the car has been a little nervous recently. If you are a local, you can wait for a while, and there is no rush.They can’t do it for outsiders. A day’s delay in renting a place is a day’s cost. In addition, even the rainy season is approaching, and the wood is often exposed to rain, and the wood will change. Whether it is a finished product or a direct sale, it will seriously affect the price.

If you can't get in touch with the wagon at the station, you have to find a way to find a way through the relationship. The station master is the leader, so of course it's best to find him.

However, the idea is good, but it is a bit troublesome.

I don't know what's going on, the people who use the wagons are all rushed together, and they all have this idea, as if whoever finds the station master first can solve the wagon problem first.

The station master got off work at five o'clock, and someone was half an hour early, and was waiting on the way home after four o'clock. In a day or two, he really had to dig out two wagons.

These people saw that this trick worked well, followed suit one after another, and also went to block people on the road.But this stationmaster also learned to be cunning and slippery, and changed his way home through the back door.

As long as he entered the house, he would not come out even if he shouted out the dragon call.

There was no other way but to change the direction.It doesn't work at night, so come in the morning, can't you go out and go to work?

As long as you show your head, you will have a chance.

So, I changed my mind to come in the morning.

If you don’t say that if you make money, you have motivation. As long as the timber can be transported back as soon as possible, it will really be money.

The lumber dealer also worked hard. In order to get the car wagon earlier, he ran to Xiaohongfang before it was fully bright at four o'clock, nestled on the side of the road and stared at it.

Zhao Mingyu felt that he was quite early, and only when he got here did he realize that there were others earlier than him.There were already two people at the corner of the road, both carrying purses, squatting on the side of the road, biting sugar spoons.

The two of them were obviously not in the same group, squatting on both sides of the road, about seven or eight meters apart, facing each other obliquely, as if the well water did not interfere with the river water.

Seeing that Zhao Mingyu gradually stopped when he got close, he still thought that he was coming for the same purpose just like them.There was one more competitor, so he was naturally in a bad mood. He didn't say anything, and the little eyes that looked down on him were deeper than each other.

Zhao Mingyu acted as if he hadn't seen them. One of the two men was in his early thirties and the other was in his 40s. He caught the man who was about the same age and squatted next to him, but he gave him a blank stare. What are you doing? It's annoying.

"Brother, are you waiting for Station Master Wang?" Zhao Mingyu greeted him with a smile.

The man chewed hard on the fire spoon in his mouth, didn't even bother to turn his head back, and slandered: This is a guy who can't read his face, doesn't he see you or doesn't want to see you? , Don't wait for the stationmaster Wang to come here.

Seeing that he ignored her, Zhao Mingyu didn't feel embarrassed. She couldn't get in touch with the car, and she was so anxious. It was understandable, understandable.

"Oh, we are all the same, we are all worried about this matter." Zhao Mingyu took out the slip from his pocket and poked it in his hand: "Tell me, this bill of lading clearly has the date written on it. I’ve been at the station for several days, but I don’t mention it, where can I go to reason?”

When the man heard the first sentence, he didn't care about it, but when he heard the next sentence, the more he heard it, the more strange it became.

When the last word fell, he had already turned around, and asked Zhao Mingyu with some uncertainty: "What are you talking about, picking up the goods is not delivery?"

Zhao Mingyu nodded straightly: "Yes, it's to pick up the goods. Isn't my brother here waiting to find the stationmaster Wang to pick up the goods? We are all the same. This has been suppressed by the station for several days. I have to take a lot of detention money with the wagon. I don’t know which bastard is playing tricks on purpose. All the procedures are complete, but I won’t mention it. When I find Station Master Wang, I have to sue him.”

The man understood everything this time, his eyes lit up several times in the back, he stood up abruptly, didn't even know that the half-eaten sugar spoon in his hand had fallen off, and just kept supporting Zhao Mingyu to sit. Shout: "Brother, have you eaten yet? Let's go and I'll treat you to tofu nao."

"No, no, I came here after breakfast." Zhao Mingyu waved his hand and refused, secretly laughing inwardly, but pretended to be flattered and said: "Brother, you are so polite, we just met by chance, how dare I ask you to treat me to dinner. It’s not easy, I’d better wait for the goods to be brought out, don’t occupy the wagon to pay the detention fee, settle the matter, and then eat. At this moment, I’m in a hurry to get angry, and it’s not good to eat anything.”

This seemingly unintentional mentioning of the wagon again and again, every time he said it would stimulate the man once, and Zhao Mingyu would not let go of it.

"Brother—"

Zhao Mingyu's eyes widened in surprise from the call with a long tone, and he patted him on the shoulder: "Brother, don't be too anxious, it would be inappropriate to rush yourself any longer. By the way, what you are pressing is What kind of goods, whether you can resist it or not, but don’t eat it, it’s really not good—”

Perfectly interpreted the image of a good brother who cares about his friends, persuading, comforting, and worrying, a series of expressions are quite in place, but the words are so dense that it hurts the ears.

The man was interrupted, wanting to say nothing, scratching his head when he heard the misunderstanding.

"That's not what I meant, brother, I'm telling you—"

He said, and before he finished speaking, he was interrupted again.

"Hey, brother, what are you guys talking about?" The younger man squatting diagonally, came over at some point, stood beside Zhao Mingyu, and asked with a smiling face.

The distance between the two sides was less than ten meters, and there was a road between them, so even the small voices could be heard, not to mention that Zhao Mingyu didn't suppress the voice, they were just talking in a normal voice.

With such a little distance, he could hear every word clearly, but he wanted to act like he didn't know anything and ran over to talk to him.

The previous man just wanted to reprimand him, what to tell you, why don't you squat there, what are you doing here?Immediately afterwards, as if thinking of something, he took two steps forward, his face was almost on the nose of the latter, and he shouted: "Let me tell you, I heard about this first, can you tell me?" Don’t get in the way.” As if someone didn’t know, since they had heard it all, why would they ask.

The young man raised his head and slammed his chest forward, which meant that if he heard something, he was about to intervene.

The man in front glared at him, feeling that this was not possible, he stretched out his arms and wrapped his arms around his neck, holding him to the side: "Come on, come on, let's come over and have a chat."

The latter also had the same meaning, and did not resist, and followed along with his strength.

The two men murmured for a while, dancing and dancing, obviously very excited.From time to time, he would look this way, and when he saw Zhao Mingyu looking at them, he would smile at him and wave to him.

After a while, the two seemed to have negotiated and reached an agreement, and walked back with smiles on their faces.

The older one introduced himself to Zhao Mingyu first: "Brother, I forgot to tell you, my surname is Wan, from Wanquan River. This little brother's surname is Shi, the stone in the river."

um, so?Zhao Mingyu looked over with a look of confusion, and said, "Then Brother Wan, what was this with Brother Shi just now—?"

It took only three or two minutes for the two of them to hold each other's shoulders and hug each other's backs. Anyone with eyes can see it, so naturally they have to ask.

"Ha, we discussed something in the past, and it has something to do with you, brother. By the way, haven't you asked your name?"

"My surname is Zhao, Zhao Mingyu, and I'm a local." Zhao Mingyu announced his family name with a smile, and his name was written on the pick-up list. He took it out and shook it a few times just now, and he was probably seen by him. He is not afraid of being known.In addition, the next thing really needs to use the name of the person who picks up the goods, even if the other party doesn't ask, he still has to say it.

"Brother Zhao, it's like this." Xiaoshi took the words, pointed at Lao Wan, and said, "You may also be able to hear the accent, we both came from other places to dump wood. Stay here and wait for the king to stand. It takes two wagons to make a relationship, and the purchased timber should be transported away as soon as possible. But now the wagons are tight and it’s not easy to handle, and we’re just putting them away in a hurry to get angry.”

Lao Wan snatched the words: "No, brother, you are here. This is really fate."

"Oh, it turns out that you are not picking up the goods, but delivering them." Zhao Mingyu said with a suddenly enlightened expression, "I said, why did you look at me like that just now? Did you think I was going to grab it from you?"

It turned out that it wasn't that he didn't see him and stared at him, but that he pretended not to see him.Lao Wanfang murmured in his heart.

Xiaoshi laughed even more awkwardly: "I'm sorry, brother, I didn't figure it out. The main reason is that I was anxious and in a bad mood. They all called this wagon to make trouble, otherwise it can't be done."

"Ah, it's okay, I can understand. Don't I, too, it's annoying enough that people give up and don't pick up the goods." Zhao Mingyu raised the list in his hand.

Seeing that he hadn't fully understood the intention of the two, Xiao Shi and Lao Wan looked at each other, and then Lao Wan said: "Brother Zhao, it's like this, look, we are in urgent need of wagons, and you are in a hurry to pick up the goods, let's Can these two sides draw a line and complete it as one thing?"

Xiaoshi then explained: "It's just that the wagon you loaded with goods is freed up for us to use, so everyone is happy."

Zhao Mingyu nodded and said: "I understand, you want the wagons I'm occupying, right?"

How many sections?Hearing these words, the eyes of both of them lit up, and they asked: "How many knots, how many knots are there?" Can they celebrate in advance? If it happens, all the timber will be transported away .

Zhao Mingyu saw the excitement of the two, Kaba rolled his eyes, and replied in a daze: "Three, three, what's wrong?"

"I want two."

"I want two too."

The two divided up on the spot, without bothering to deal with brother Zhao and brother Zhao who were still stunned beside them.

"Two for two gets four, three wagons doesn't seem to be enough for you two." Zhao Mingyu probed into the middle of the fiery two who were dividing.

Oops, I'm too excited.The two stopped in a hurry, they couldn't fight each other at this time, they were in agreement with each other, they had to get the three wagons off first.

"Brother Zhao, the two of us will discuss it later. In short, we can coordinate well. As long as you pick up the goods, everything will be easy to talk about."

Zhao Mingyu rolled his eyes at him: "If I could mention it, I would have mentioned it long ago, why are you still here?" It was all nonsense.

I didn't say the latter sentence, but the expression on that face meant it.

The two were excited because their problems were in sight, so he was so happy, he said a lot of things, and chatted for a long time, but it was of no use at all.

The two could understand Zhao Mingyu's lack of interest.

Just now, I hid aside to discuss, including the matter of picking up the goods, otherwise the wagon would not be empty, and everything would be useless.

Xiaoshi told Zhao Mingyu about the result of the discussion, and then said: "Look, Brother Zhao, let's go to Station Master Wang and poke your matter in front of him, and then you're a bad person behind the scenes." It’s over. Think about it, now that the train is so nervous, and he still holds your goods for his own sake, then the station master will still have his good fruit if he finds out.”

"However, you have to go to the stationmaster Wang yourself and tell him that he will think that you delayed picking up the goods out of personal interests, maybe just for some reason, and deliberately said that you were being made things difficult, in order to save these few days. Days of retention money." Lao Wan added.

Xiaoshi said: "It's different when we talk about it. From the pure onlooker's perspective, we will say that we saw you being inquired about by someone in order to pick up the goods at the station, and we will say it pitifully, and no one will take care of you if you beg grandpa to sue grandma." Let's add more details to make it more exciting for you, and the stationmaster Wang will be on fire on the spot. At that time, can't you pick up your stuff?"

Lao Wan said: "So, this is a matter of killing two birds with one stone. You don't need to continue squatting and suffering with this, and the matter can be solved very easily. We can also get the wagon and send the goods away, which is a win-win situation." .”

The two played together and sang, and they arranged things clearly, which made people's hearts move after listening to it.

Zhao Mingyu nodded while listening, and praised at the end: "Brother Wan and Brother Xiaoshi are still thoughtful. If you hadn't reminded me, even if I wanted to, I couldn't think of anything else to do."

"Isn't it, this method will definitely work."

"Then—just listen to the two, I won't go to Station Master Wang, and leave this matter to my brother and brother?"

"Don't worry, the two of us have decided to take care of this matter."

"Brother Zhao, go home quickly, it's tiring to wait here."

Zhao Mingyu cupped his hands at the two of them, thanked them, and left very relieved.

Seeing his back getting farther and farther, Xiaoshi heaved a sigh of relief: "Finally I told him to leave." He gave Lao Wan a thumbs-up: "It's better to use my brother's way, otherwise I couldn't talk it out so quickly. .”

Lao Wan was a little proud: "I'm just standing in his position and thinking about the problem, putting it on everyone. I was deliberately made things difficult and lost a lot, so I have to hate this person to death. I don't want to ask my son to retaliate After a while, you won't be able to vent your cowardice. When we hear that there is a way to solve the problem, and we can control the villain behind this, of course we will be very happy. In addition to our purpose It is in line with his interests, knowing that we will only facilitate this matter, and will not make trouble in the middle, so I naturally agreed."

"Thanks to the fact that the two of us came early and met him first. Otherwise, when there are more people, he will go to Station Master Wang first, and the goods can be picked up, but the three wagons may not be able to be allocated to us. Come on. That's good, if the news comes out from our brothers, then the stationmaster Wang will only let us come." Xiao Shi said.

This is all for my own benefit, or whoever is talking nonsense, just help out when I have nothing to do.To fool Zhao Mingyu away is to take an advantage.

The two of them consciously did a very smart thing, but they didn't know that it was expected by others.

Zhao Mingyu talked to Li Cuizhen and Zhao Wenduo for a long time yesterday, just for today's release.

The matter went smoothly. Originally, it was one person's idea, but now there are two people. It's okay, there are more people and more witnesses, which is more secure.

As for whether Wan Shi and the others could see Station Master Wang, Zhao Mingyu was not worried at all. He was not idle during the chatter and chatter just now. His judgment and observation skills are all top-notch, and the position he is guarding is stuck at the intersection of entry and exit, unless the stationmaster Wang does not go home or go out, otherwise he will be sure to catch him.

Even if you can't succeed this time today, there will be tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, when you will succeed.This is just the worst plan. If things go well, everything will be resolved in another hour.

He is not so worried about the goods now, but more concerned about when this guy who is stalking them behind his back will explode.

Today is Saturday, and the school is only open for half a day.

It was less than twelve o'clock when Zhao Wenduo got home, and he hadn't eaten his lunch yet, so Zhao Mingyu couldn't wait to learn what happened in the morning.

The joining of two people, Wan Shi, is a bit unplanned, but it is also a good thing. Having one more person to tell the story can also increase the credibility.

On this point, the father and the father agree completely.

When it comes to time, based on [-] o'clock in the morning, nearly four hours have passed, and I don't know if the matter will be completed or not, and there should be some news.

Bailangli Village is no better than Zhanqian Street. There are railway employees living all around. If there is something wrong with the neighbors, they will know when they get off work.Of the few railway system workers in the village, the Jiang family accounted for two.In addition, two of the three outside are road patrol workers, and the field personnel can't match it at all.The other is a flight attendant, who can only come back after two or three days of long-distance travel with the car.

After such a count, it seems that only the Jiang family and his son are left who can bring news.In the current situation of the two families, it is obviously impossible for them to walk face to face without saying a word.
