Chapter 155 The Money Handler
"You are so greedy, half a cup per person."

Tian Chengcheng snatched back the lid unceremoniously, and poured half a glass for them each.

This is pure third-grade spring water, and if you drink too much, your body will change too much, and accidents will easily occur.

"Is this sugar water? It's delicious." Liu Jia said.

Tian Chengcheng showed her small white teeth, and gestured to Liu Jia not to speak, "Auntie, it's a secret."

"Okay." Liu Jia understood.

After a while, I felt that my heart beating wildly due to fright gradually calmed down, and my whole body was much more relaxed.

She looked at the four children and asked, "Are you comfortable now? Can you go?"

Originally, she wanted to take a stroll back, but after Fu Bao's incident, she just wanted to send the four children back as soon as possible.

Taking care of children is really too difficult, and there are still four, she is a bit overwhelmed.

"Let's take a tricycle." Tian Chengcheng said.

Although the county seat is not big, there are two or three kilometers to go around, and it is possible to walk back for half an hour.

"Okay." Liu Jia readily agreed, and hurriedly stood on the side of the road and hailed a rickshaw with a simple shed, reported the address, and asked how much it was.

Zhang Youcai glanced at the children and Liu Jia's attire, and said, "There are so many of you, two yuan."

"Two yuan is too much. I usually take a taxi. The distance is at most one yuan. Is it worth one yuan? I only have one yuan." Liu Jia said.

Seeing that she refused to pay, Zhang Youcai said, "Okay, since you are all children, one dollar is only one dollar."

Liu Jia dragged Wang Hui and Runyu one by one, and Tian Chengcheng was stopped by Fu Xinhan, for fear that she would fall.

Tian Chengcheng doesn't care if it's one yuan or two. After all, it's really hard work to ride a tricycle with people on it, and there's still a section of uphill road.

"Master, do you have to attract customers every day? How much money can you earn by running for a day?" Tian Chengcheng chatted with the master.

Zhang Youcai has been running outside for many years and is very good at talking. Seeing that Tian Chengcheng likes him, he immediately opened up the conversation.

"The little girl looks like a child of a wealthy family, and she doesn't understand the hardships of the poor. Sometimes she earns a few dollars a day for the work of pulling people, and sometimes she doesn't even have enough food money for a day of running, so she encounters loading and unloading on the road. I can do the work, as long as I pay for it, I’m not afraid of any dirty work.” Zhang Youcai smiled and stretched out his hand, “Look, it’s all made of hard work.”

I saw many thick calluses and blisters on his broad and dark palms.

It hurts to look at.

"Master is really hard." Tian Chengcheng couldn't help but sympathize with him.

It’s just that the times are bad at this time, and most people’s family income is pitifully low, especially farmers who depend on the sky to eat, like tricycle masters, who can endure hardship and make money, and they are considered economically minded.

Hearing her soft, waxy, almost crying voice, Zhang Youcai felt embarrassed.

"It's okay, we ride tricycles like this, don't look at me working hard, but after a month, my old mother and three younger brothers and sisters can have food, and I also pay for my second brother and my younger sister to go to school. As long as they can pass the exam, I will keep offering."

Zhang Youcai was busy calming down Tian Chengcheng, and began to announce the good news, and his voice became more cheerful.

After hearing this, Tian Chengcheng felt even more uncomfortable.

According to the tone of the master, he is still single and should not be very old, but with his dark face and burly figure, he looks like a person in his 40s or [-]s.

"Master, are you married?" Tian Chengcheng couldn't help asking curiously.

"Haha, you little girl is so cute. Looking at me like this, do I look like someone who can afford a wife? But I'm pretty good now, taking care of my mother, younger siblings, and when they grow up , and my task has been completed."

"Why is it your task? Raising children is the task of parents, why is it yours?"

"My father left. At that time, my younger sister was only five years old. She should be about the same as you. My mother is in poor health. Naturally, it is mine to take care of my younger brothers and sisters! My elder brother is like a father, and I am also very good."

Zhang Youcai is cheerful, he has long been used to this kind of life.

Suddenly someone sympathized with him, but he was not used to it.

Tian Chengcheng sighed softly, there are too many poor people these days.

Especially with so many people to care for at home.

"Master, I'm not five years old, I'm already nine years old! How old are you?"

"Eight years old???"

Zhang Youcai looked at Tian Chengcheng, who didn't look like he was eight years old, "You are only five years old."

"...Although I am small, I am honest. You can't disbelieve me just because I look small."

Seeing her serious look, Zhang Youcai could only believe it.

"Well, eight years old is eight years old, I am 25 years old this year, you can call me uncle."

Tian Chengcheng's smile was a bit far-fetched. In fact, she tried hard to think about his age, and it was hard to guess.

If you say it is too big, you are afraid of insulting others, but if you say it is too small, it will be hypocrisy at first glance.

Hearing 25, she can still accept it.

"25 is okay, I will marry a wife in the future." Tian Chengcheng smiled.

Zhang Youcai laughed twice, taking it as a joke, but he was also very happy, and sent them to the tailor shop all the way.

"Hey, do you live here? Master Wang is your relative? I never heard that he has any relatives."

Zhang Youcai has been active in the county all year round, so he is still very familiar with the surroundings. In addition, there are few foreigners now, and they are basically native-born people, and they also know the basics.

"We are renting at Grandpa Wang's house, and by the way, we are here to do some small business." Tian Chengcheng said with a smile.

"So that's how it is. They are all acquaintances. You can just give me [-] cents." Zhang Youcai was also embarrassed to ask for too much.

Liu Jia was about to give Bamao, but Tian Chengcheng had already handed over a dollar.

"Here, take it! If you do business, you have to look like a business. Customers can negotiate the price. If you lower the price yourself, you won't make any money."

Zhang Youcai was stunned.

Unexpectedly, the person who paid was Tian Chengcheng.

"It turns out that you are the one who handles the money. I underestimated you."

"It's okay, I really don't look like a rich person." Tian Chengcheng smiled and didn't care.

Liu Jia hurriedly said: "Fu Bao, Auntie will pay the money, how can I let you pay it." Saying that, he put a dollar into Tian Chengcheng's hand.

Tian Chengcheng refused, "Auntie, don't be polite to me, I'm still very rich, Uncle Liu knows."

She refused to ask for anything, and Liu Jia had no choice but to keep the money.

"Master, what's your name?" Tian Chengcheng looked at Zhang Youcai.

Zhang Youcai was a little embarrassed, "Don't call me Master, I feel guilty, my name is Zhang Youcai, you can just call me Brother Zhang."

"Okay, Brother Zhang." Tian Chengcheng shouted very sweetly.

Anyway, calling people don't want money.

"Do you have time to come over tomorrow? We want to go around to see if there is a suitable house, and we want to rent it as a shop to sell buns. Can you take us around on a tricycle?"

"Rent a house and sell buns? What do you want?" Zhang Youcai asked.
