Return to 1981 and start from breaking off the engagement

Chapter 32 Windfall
"It's true. Going door to door in autumn to collect food for spring. Isn't this making a fool of yourself?"

Yao Weijun chuckled, too lazy to say anything more, so he pushed his bicycle and turned around to leave.

"Hey, you can keep your car, otherwise how will your sister-in-law and I go back later?"

Yao Weitao greeted quickly from behind.

"Why didn't you tell me that you two would come back together? I left the car for you, and it's so late at night. How long did it take for me to get back on my feet?"

Yao Weijun had already ridden on the car, put one leg on the ground, and turned around.

"What do you mean? Your sister-in-law is also a guest of our house now. Is it so aggrieved to give her the car? I find you, fifth child, still acting like a child!"

Yao Weitao's tone became more serious, with a heavy look of disappointment on his face.

"Unfortunately, the car was originally borrowed. I promised to return it to them after I picked you up. Now you can either come with me and borrow the car when you get to the village and come back to pick me up, or you can just wait here. Come on, I'll ask Lao Maitou to get the bullock cart to pick you two up later. You can make your own choice."

Yao Weijun looked at his fourth brother calmly and said calmly.

Seeing his fourth brother again, Yao Weijun felt uncomfortable with his words and deeds, as well as his vague selfishness and superiority.

He originally bought a pack of cigarettes, thinking that when his fourth brother came back, he could have a good smoke when they met, but it turned out that Yao Weitao was just taking out his cigarettes and didn't even have the intention to let him go.

As soon as they met, he questioned the origin of the bicycle as if he were interrogating a prisoner, then turned around and left the bicycle behind, letting him walk back without considering the distance or the fact that it was already lunch time.

Yao Weijun believed that if it were him, he would definitely not be able to say this.

"What choice do you want! Your sister-in-law will be here soon. Can I let her wait here alone?"

Yao Weitao waved his hand impatiently, threw away the cigarette butt, and said angrily: "Lao Maitou's ox cart is so dirty, how can your sister-in-law ride on it? You can't figure it out! Forget it, you go, I'll call our father , let him think of a way!"

"Okay, then I'll go back first."

Yao Weijun kicked his feet and rode his bicycle away.

He wasn't worried that Yao Weitao wouldn't be able to go back.

It is estimated that once the father found out that the fourth child was going to bring the love from the city home, he would be extremely happy. He would immediately borrow the newest bicycle in the village, and then let the second brother ride one and carry it over his shoulder.

"Brother Yao? What a coincidence, we haven't seen each other for a while, haha..."

Yao Weijun was riding forward when a hearty laughter stopped him.

I turned my head and saw that it was Xu Wenyuan selling peanut oil.

Recently, his trading of roasted seeds and nuts has stopped, and he has stopped contacting Xu Wenyuan to purchase goods. He has not contacted him for almost more than a week.

"I have prepared peanuts for you. When do you want the goods?"

Xu Wenyuan came to the car familiarly, took out his cigarette and asked with a smile.

"In a few days, when the autumn harvest is over, I will notify you in advance."

Yao Weijun waved his hand and did not take the cigarette.

In fact, he is not a big smoker. Sometimes he smokes a little more just to socialize.

"Haha... you are my big customer, I will listen to you!" Xu Wenyuan nodded cheerfully, looked at the sky, pointed at the restaurant not far away and said: "You haven't had lunch yet, right? I'm just in time, let's go. I want you to give me a good rub!"

"No, you are still selling oil, which is delaying the business..."

Yao Weijun resisted with a smile.

"Hey, where does this business come from at noon? Besides, my brother is staying in the alley to help keep an eye on it. When we finish eating, I can just bring him a meal."

Xu Wenyuan insisted again and again, grabbed Yao Weijun's bicycle handlebar, and walked to the restaurant together.

It could be seen that he really valued Yao Weijun as a customer. After entering the restaurant and sitting down, he ordered several hard dishes and beer, and the two of them started eating and drinking. "Brother Yao, I'm easy to make friends with. When you come to the county town in the future, you must remember to tell me that we have been cooperating for so long, so you should come and recognize your brother's family. Haha...here, have another drink. !”

Xu Wenyuan's home is in the county town. After getting to know Yao Weijun, he didn't hide it. One of his cousins ​​had connections and cooperated with the public sector to set up an oil pressing factory. Xu Wenyuan used this relationship to buy it at a low price and used it to buy it. The tricycles were taken to various communes for sale.

As for the dried peanuts given to Yao Weijun, they are all brought from his cousin's factory. In his words: Ensure sufficient supply and get as much as you need.

In this muddy world, where all living beings are noisily in the early stages of reform, anyone who has some courage and dares to try will do well.

Xu Wenyuan can be regarded as the beneficiary. He has a cousin to help him, and his wife and children have a few mouths. He sells oil in villages outside the city, and his life is quite comfortable.

In fact, how well a person is doing can be seen from his speech and behavior.

Yao Weijun could feel that this person had some money in his hands.

"Brother Xu, are you familiar with Xingge Village?" He raised his glass and took a sip of beer and asked calmly.

"Xingge Village, I don't go there often, but I have friends there. Are you asking about things or people?"

Xu Wenyuan threw a cigarette over and lit one himself.

"I plan to collect some raw melon seeds and want to find someone I can talk to. Brother Xu, do you think our friends over there can help?"

Yao Weijun banged his cigarette on the table and explained frankly.

He asked Xu Wenyuan for help, so there was no need to hide it. Of course, if the price of the person introduced by the latter was too high, he would refuse to cooperate without hesitation.

"What do I think is going on? This is it? Well, one day when you are free, why don't I drive you there in a tricycle and that's it? My friend is from the County Agricultural Technology Station and is based in Xinggezhuang Commune. Specially responsible for growing sunflowers and sending them to the capital!"

Xu Wenyuan smiled nonchalantly and continued: "Just go to him directly when you get to Xingge Village. What a big deal, haha..."

"Well, please, Brother Xu, I'll give you a toast."

"You're welcome, come on, let's do it!"

"..."

……

The two of them had a great time eating and drinking. Yao Weijun felt that the meal was quite rewarding. He was full and full. He originally planned to take the initiative to pay the bill, but Xu Wenyuan grabbed him and told him to pay for it no matter what.

Yao Weijun had no choice but to give up, left the restaurant and separated from Xu Wenyuan, then rode his bicycle back to Jianchang Village.

"Commander Yao, you are so mean. You didn't call me when you were drinking. After you finished drinking, you came to my place. What's the matter? I guess you have to make tea for you to sober up?"

Yao Weijun returned to the village and went directly to Hou Liang's house. The latter's parents had gone to work on the threshing floor. He looked unhappy at the moment and made a pot of tea while nagging.

"Someone invited me to drink at the commune. They were just ordinary friends in the first place. They were made to wait for more than an hour. I went back to the village and took you there. What did they think of me? Can you do it instead?"

Yao Weijun leaned on his chair extremely relaxed, took out the red plum cigarettes from his pocket, and threw one to Hou Liang.

"If you haven't drank enough, smoke more cigarettes!"

"Hehe... That's pretty much it, drink tea, drink tea!"

Hou Liang took the cigarette and handed him hot tea.

The two chatted and the afternoon passed quickly.

Yao Weijun looked at the sky outside, stood up comfortably, greeted Hou Liang, and planned to go home.

The fourth brother is also back today. He also has to be present when the family discusses the separation of the family in the evening.
