Return to 1981 and start from breaking off the engagement

Chapter 55 A canvas bag of money

"No! I've made all the arrangements, and besides, I still have my sister-in-law watching over it for me!"

Yao Weijun continued to smile and said: "If it weren't for you, grandma, who doesn't like people entering your house, I would have sent someone to shovel the floor and lay the walls for you. Now I will do it myself to ensure that it is cleaned up!"

"Okay, I'll take a nap in the west wing in the afternoon and enjoy myself. By the way, I've put the few coffins I have..."

"Grandma, you'd better not do this to me, otherwise I'll run out of money one day, so I'll let you go!"

"I originally saved it for you to get a wife, so just take it as you like! Haha..."

Yao Weijun chatted and laughed with his grandma for a while, watching the sky getting closer to noon, then returned to the threshing floor.

After lunch, while no one was in the room, he quickly took out a canvas bag from the kang hole, which contained the money he had earned recently, which now amounted to nearly 8000 yuan.

With the speculation business running normally, his daily income is considerable.

After the last negotiation, Lao Maitou has become a full-time deliveryman driving a bullock cart, and Yao Weijun has also negotiated the settlement method with four partners in advance.

After a few weeks, when everyone has enough money, he will implement the method of collecting money every five days.

At that time, I would ride my motorcycle and go around the four joint venture areas, collect the money together, and then wait for Lao Maitou to deliver the goods one by one according to the amount of goods in hand.

In fact, in addition to the business matters, there were other things that needed to be arranged before he set off for the county seat, so that he would really have no worries.

That's the money in hand... there's almost no place to put it!
When people go to the county town, all the money will be put in the threshing floor?That's not much different from keeping mice for cats!
Therefore, Yao Weijun had long thought about the safest place to put his money. After much deliberation, before the house was built, putting it in his grandma's house was considered a safer place for now.

Grandma rarely goes out and stays at home. Another thing is that grandma doesn't like others to go to her house. Of course, this is an exception for Yao Weijun.

Therefore, the adults and three children in the family have long formed a habit. In order not to make grandma angry, they almost never dare to go beyond the "thunder pond".

Yao Weijun decided to bury the bag of money under his grandma's bed while he was cleaning up the house for his grandma. It would not be too late to move it there when a better way to put the money would be found in the future.

In the afternoon, when the family went to the fields, grandma had the habit of taking a nap. He entered grandma's house carrying a bag of money and tools such as shovels and picks.

After half an afternoon of walking and walking, I packed the canvas bag wrapped with fertilizer bags and buried it under grandma's bed.

Because he had leveled the ground in the entire house, there were traces of new soil everywhere. At the same time, he also shoveled away the peeled areas around the base of the walls and leveled them with the mud again.

After everything was done, Yao Weijun opened the windows on both sides, hung up the door curtains, and kept the room well ventilated, so that when it was drying until night, it would not delay grandma's sleep and rest.

"Are you busy? Let me see what you have done, haha..."

At this moment, grandma was carrying half a sieve of soybeans to pick out the offal particles in the yard. When she saw Yao Weijun coming out, she put down the sieve and curiously stood on tiptoe to the door of the house to take a look.

"Sure, my soldier works neatly, cleanly and upright. Grandma is happy! Haha..."

When grandma said this, she waved to Yao Weijun mysteriously and her voice became softer:

"Let's eat when you come back later. I heard from your father that your second uncle is coming. He will go to the agency later to buy wine and food. There will be delicious food at home tonight!"

"I have something to do tonight. Grandma, please help me tell my second uncle. I will go visit him when I have time. Oh, by the way, if dad asks why I clean the house for you, just say that I have nothing to do. Okay, and also ask him if he wants to fatten up the mice and sell them for money by keeping those mouse holes?"

Yao Weijun moved his body casually and said.

He knew that the more he said this, the less likely his family would be suspicious, which would be more effective than keeping it secretive.

"You are just trying to make your dad angry, aren't you? Do you talk to an old man like this? Besides, they don't come into my house. I'm so full that you and your son are poking fun at me?" Grandma laughed angrily. He cursed, and then kicked Yao Weijun out, "Go, go, go and do your work, I still have to make soybean paste, don't waste my time!"

"I'm really not busy today. I just have something to do in the evening. Hehe... I'm leaving then, grandma!"

"Hey, why did you give me the money? Come on, kid, get it yourself, grandma won't need it!"

Grandma didn't pay attention for a while, but soon found ten dollars lying in the sieve for soybeans. She immediately picked it up and wanted to catch up with Yao Weijun and give it back to him.

"You should save it to buy some delicious food, and don't be reluctant to spend it, because there will be more in a few days!"

Yao Weijun quickened his pace and walked out of the yard of his home.

It was already past four o'clock in the afternoon when he returned to the threshing floor. As soon as he entered the house, he saw Xiaohua immersed in her homework.

"Xiaohua, if you still work so hard during the holidays, you will definitely be able to get into college in the future!"

Yao Weijun said with a gentle smile.

"Uncle Wu is back, you drink tea!"

Xiaohua put down the pencil in her hand, poured tea for Yao Weijun sensibly, and brought it over.

"Uncle Wu, are you asking my mother to sell melon seeds at the movie place at night? I want to go too, and then I can help my mother sell melon seeds together!"

"Did your mother tell you?"

"Well, my mother said that she was a bit embarrassed to set up a stall, and she didn't want you to think that she couldn't do the job well, so she asked me to go with her to build up her courage!"

"..."

Yao Weijun sipped his tea and pondered for a moment, then patted Xiaohua on the shoulder and said seriously: "You can go, but it's just this once, you have to focus on your studies in the future, you know?"

"Ok!"

Xiaohua nodded vigorously, with an excited look in her eyes.

Not only can she help her mother sell melon seeds, but she can also watch a movie on the spot. Now that she has received the approval of her fifth uncle, the little girl is extremely happy.

But Yao Weijun didn't want her to do business at such a young age. If he hadn't considered that his sister-in-law was terrified when setting up a stall for the first time, he wouldn't have agreed.

But everything has a process. In order to allow his sister-in-law to earn more income in the future, and to try the effect of selling goods during a movie, he did not stop it.

It was getting dark soon, and Yao Weijun told his sister-in-law to eat something with Xiaohua at the threshing floor in the evening, and then ride a bicycle to Fengyang Village to sell goods.

And he himself left the threshing floor first on his motorcycle.

The roadside at the entrance of the village.

Yu Xiunan, wearing a light-colored dress, was already waiting there happily.

She had obviously dressed up before coming out. Her black hair was tied up high and spread naturally around her back. Her pretty face was white and round, and she was extremely beautiful. She smiled, her eyebrows were full, her white teeth were slightly exposed, and her plain skirt was blowing in the wind. It seemed that even the dusk was bright and cheerful.
