Dashan Orchard 1988

Chapter 53: Buying a stand-up truck (Tuesday, must read)
Li Muyang saw Lin Xiuli leaving and was not in a hurry to chase her.

His mood at this time is very complicated.

His wife, who had been dead for many years in his previous life, stood before him alive, still a young and beautiful girl.

How can I keep him calm?

I can't calm down.

It was all he could do to simply maintain restraint and not scare his wife.

The "Lili" blurted out was already the biggest temptation.

No more.

He originally planned to have a little money, and after his mother's illness got better, he asked the matchmaker in the village to help him ask if he could arrange a meeting.

Based on his understanding of Lin Xiuli and her father-in-law and mother-in-law, as long as no big mistakes were made, he should be able to successfully negotiate.

Just wait until you marry someone home and then grow slowly.

What kind of house, yard, car, TV, etc., they will all be available gradually.

His ability to make money in this life is much better than in his previous life.

And he also knows that those things have happened before, and if he seizes some of the important stages, not to mention becoming a millionaire, but living a prosperous life and having enough food and clothing, there will definitely be no problem.

He is just an old farmer, what kind of bicycle does he want?

When my wife and children are warmed up on the kang, and steamed buns are used to roll meat, I feel so comfortable and beautiful.

Hmm, it looks like we need to speed up.

When Li Muyang left the supply and marketing cooperative, he already had a lot of things.

Two packets of soy milk powder.

A package of repackaged fruit candies.

a mirror.

A comb.

A pair of women's flat shoes.

A peaked cap.

A pair of yellow rubber shoes.

It cost a total of more than ten yuan, which was a bit of a hemorrhage.

The aunt at the supply and marketing cooperative continued to carry out her enthusiasm to the end and helped Li Muyang find a urea bag so that he could bump things into it and carry it easily on his back.

Li Muyang accepted it with a smile.

He no longer bothers his aunt.

To a certain extent, it was her help that allowed Li Muyang to arrive at the women's shoe sales area in advance and meet Lin Xiuli.

Li Muyang came to the street and went directly to the Qingquan Tower without wasting time.

He wants to buy a frame truck here.

Now his savings has reached 1200 yuan, which is enough to treat his mother, so this matter must be put on the schedule in advance.

According to the plan, he planned to take his mother to the Municipal People's Hospital for a checkup.

In my previous life, because I had no money, I had to go to the health center in Qingquan Town for diagnosis. Both the doctor's level and the medical equipment were not very good.

I waited until my mother was finally in danger before going to the city for treatment. The doctor said it was too late. The nerves were completely compressed and deformed by blood vessels, and there was no way to save her.

It's not too long since my mother got sick, so maybe the city hospital will be able to take care of her.

Even if things get better.

If she can sit up, at least she can take care of herself, it will be easier for others to take care of her, and she will live happily.

It would be too boring to lie in bed like a puppet all the time.

Every day is torture.

However, in this era, it is not an easy task to go from the mountain village to the city.

too difficult.

Lijiacun is located at the foot of Taoshan Mountain, thirty miles away from the city, including six or seven miles of mountain roads.

If people want to go to the city, they can only go by bicycle.

But many people don’t have bicycles, so they have to walk.

People in the mountains walk quickly and can walk ten miles in an hour, so it takes three or four hours to reach the city.

The distance makes it difficult for people to travel far.

Almost half of the people in the village have never left Chi County, let alone Qingyang or Gansu.The world is a big place and it has nothing to do with them.

Li Muyang is pretty good.

All three of his children are studying in college elsewhere, and his daughter has settled in Jiangnan.

For these reasons, he was fortunate enough to leave the mountains of his hometown and travel to various parts of the motherland several times.

Now, the problems he faces are more difficult.

He did not go to the city empty-handed, but wanted to send a paralyzed old man like his mother to the city.

If he were a normal person, he could borrow a bicycle to carry her, but with his mother's condition, she couldn't use her body at all and couldn't control her body at all, so she could only use a bicycle to pull her.

A stand truck is a two-wheeled vehicle, a bit like a pallet truck.

If you remove the rear baffle, it will be the same as a pallet truck.

This is a type of farm furniture common in the Northwest.

You can use a frame truck to transport grain, pull manure into the ground, sell things at the market, or buy grain, sundries, etc.

In the early years, people would also use a kind of wheelbarrow called "earth wheel". This kind of wheel has only one wheel, which is a bit like a wheelbarrow on a construction site.

Because it is a one-wheel, it requires certain skills to master. If it is full of things, it will tip over if you are not careful, and the contents in the car will be spilled on the ground.

Unicycles are more convenient and lightweight, but they are small in volume and very inconvenient to maneuver. They can generally only be used in a small area.

The frame truck does not have these problems.

Moreover, the frame cart can be pulled by people, or it can be tethered to an animal and turned into an animal cart.

It is also considered a necessary piece of furniture.

A stand truck costs about 150 yuan, and Li Muyang originally had no money to buy it.

Every time I need it, I have to go to my brother’s house to borrow it.

It was fine if he borrowed it once or twice, but if he borrowed it more times, others would have no problem with it, and he himself would feel embarrassed.

Right now, I happen to need a truck to take my mother to the city, so I'll take the opportunity to buy one.

Save yourself the hassle later.

Qingquan Tower is a four-sided tower, with different business groups surrounding the tower in different directions.

The east side is the market for eggs and chickens, the south side is all kinds of grains, the west side is all kinds of snacks, and the north side is the carpenters and furniture market.

Anything that can be made by hand in this mouth is sold.

There are all kinds of furniture, knitting, carpentry, etc.

Typical grocery set.

Li Muyang first walked around the entire carpentry area and did not see the shadow of his eldest brother.

The eldest brother sometimes makes some small benches, handles for various farm tools, or ties some brooms for sale.

He thought that if his elder brother was here, he could find some acquaintances and take advantage of the opportunity to get cheaper. '

For something that costs 150 yuan, it’s not just a matter of one or two yuan if it’s cheaper.

An oil cake only costs two cents.

Save a few bucks and get dozens of oil cakes.

It’s a bargain when you think about it.

But Li Mutian is not here today, and he has not found his brother's person.

I had no choice but to buy it directly.

There are only three people selling stand trucks at the bottom of the tower.

He basically knew all three families, but he couldn't pronounce them by name.After meeting people on the street many times, you gradually get to know them.

He first walked back and forth in front of the three stalls, pretending to be confident, holding his chin and walking around. Five or six minutes had passed, but he still didn't speak.

The three stall owners finally couldn't hold it any longer.

The stall owner in the middle smiled and said: "Yangwazi, you have been wandering around our stall all afternoon. What are you doing?"

"Yes, if you want to buy something, come and talk about it. If you don't want to buy something, just hang around and trip over our feet. Why?" Another person also laughed.

Li Muyang smiled then, came to the middle stall, looked at a row of carriages on the ground, and patted one of the carriage shafts with his hand: "What kind of wood is this made of?"

　Today is the second round of the rematch, success or failure depends on this, so charge forward! !

　　Will add more.
