Sun Wufu is an honest person with a simple mind, which is probably why he is particularly easy to be satisfied.
Just like after experiencing this disaster, he has already developed a fear of selling goods in the "ghost market".
I no longer want to earn such easy money.
On the contrary, I looked forward to the old life of relying on my strength for food.
For this reason, Sun Wufu kept nagging Ning Weimin, saying that he only now knows the bad side of the "ghost market".
Not only do I have to argue with buyers every day and haggle over the price.
And if you are caught once, you will have worked for many days in vain.
Fortunately, most of the money was on Xu Laoliu this time. He only had less than five yuan in change, so the loss was relatively small.
But even so, all the things they spent a small amount of money to collect were completely destroyed.
If Ning Weimin hadn't protected him and fined him another hundred dollars, he would definitely not be able to eat meat this month.
It can only be said that he should not have been jealous of Xu Laoliu from the beginning.
No matter how much money someone makes by running the "ghost market", that's their skill.
A native dog is a native dog, and a wolf dog is a wolf dog. Whoever eats what he eats, this has all been arranged by God.
After sighing, Sun Wufu made a very solemn decision, saying that from now on he would just go to the streets to receive goods.
As long as he can earn two yuan a day...not two and a half yuan, he is willing to continue doing this.
I only eat 50 cents and can save two yuan a day. This can already catch up with a worker's salary, which is quite enough.
In addition, in addition to making the above reflections, Sun Wufu also begged Ning Weimin to accompany him back to Yuyuantan Park to prove it.
He hoped to let Xu Laoliu know that he was worthy of his friends.
When the inspection team raided the market, he really wanted to protect their property.
It's a pity that there are so many people wearing red hoops that it really can't be protected. He didn't just let others confiscate them casually.
As a reward, he said that he could treat Ning Weimin to noodles later, the kind of greasy noodles with meat sauce...
Probably thinking about how delicious the noodles are.
Sun Wufu couldn't help but lick his lips, showing a simple and childish greedy look.
Needless to say, Ning Weimin certainly found Sun Wufu looking like this quite ridiculous.
But at the same time, he also felt that Sun Wufu's humorous personality was a bit pitiful and heart-wrenching.
This kid always thinks the best of others and is willing to take the initiative to think about others, but he doesn't know that most people don't regard him as a friend.
In fact, he doesn't need to do this at all.
"Wufu, what's the current price for copper at the scrap station? Do you know?"
Ning Weimin's heart suddenly moved and he couldn't help but ask a sensitive question.
Sun Wufu didn't expect that the topic would suddenly go off so far, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he was asked.
"It's still the original price. Two yuan and eighty for yellow miscellaneous copper, three and eightyuan for purple miscellaneous copper..."
Ning Weimin couldn't help but sigh when he heard what he said.
"Oh, it seems that you now know that there is a difference between copper. Then you...you don't hate me?"
Sun Wufu fell silent, with a complex look on his face.
For a brief moment, he lowered his head.
But soon, he suddenly raised his head again.
"To tell you the truth... I used to blame you before... but then I thought about it. The scrapyard we often go to is even more sinister. Instead of taking advantage of those bastards, I might as well let you take advantage."
"After all, you run errands and buy things for everyone, and you often suffer losses. I know that the 'General' and the others always bully you, and you have no choice but to do so, right? And to be honest, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to have a watch strap.
Woolen cloth."
With that said, Sun Wufu raised his wrist again and showed Ning Weimin the watch that Ning Weimin had sold to him.
Little did he know that this was actually an old watch that had been refurbished, which was also evidence that he had been deceived.
"Look, look, this watch is still running well. I'm thinking of your good. Don't look at 'General', they scold you almost every day, but I have never scolded you, really..."
Sun Wufu was so frank and open-minded that Ning Weimin didn't know how to react.
The man in front of him was at the absolute bottom of society.
I don’t have much expectations for life, and I live a much more humiliating life than most people. I am even often bullied and deceived by my peers.
But even so, Sun Wufu is still an honest person.
Not only can you adhere to certain moral ethics, but you can also maintain optimism and enthusiasm for life.
I remember back in the Eastern Suburbs Garbage Dump, anyone who asked him to bring something would give him less money, except Sun Wufu.
This couldn't help but touch him and make him feel sad.
"Okay, I'll go to Yuyuantan with you. Anyway, I haven't seen Xu Laoliu for a long time. Since we are all acquaintances, the three of us will sit together and chat. However, you don't need to invite me to meet. I'll treat you to a restaurant at noon.
Who can help me live better?"
This has been said.
Ning Weimin felt that it would be a shame if he did not meet Sun Wufu's small request.
What's more, he still wanted to ask Xu Laoliu to see if they had any good stuff for future straight-line transactions.
"That's great. I know you're a good person when you're purchasing!"
Zhao Wufu was immediately happy. Not only did he send Ning Weimin a good person card, but he also made a few remarks.
"Then...then I'm not polite. Who asked me to be punished? I will ask Xu Laoliu for money later, and he will definitely scold me again when he goes back. You treat us first, and we will treat you next time.
Anyway, we had this meal today. Let’s offset the difference in the price of brass and copper, and the two will be settled in the future.”
Ning Weimin shook his head in his heart and could only smile in response.
"Okay, you have the final say."
But what they didn't expect was that when the two of them returned to the entrance of Yuyuantan Park, there was no trace of Xu Laoliu.
After waiting around for half an hour, I still found nothing.
So gradually, Ning Weimin came to a clear understanding.
Especially when he asked Sun Wufu and learned that he and Xu Laoliu both had the keys to their residences.
Moreover, since they kept each other's valuables and did not shy away from each other, he had a premonition of an unfortunate outcome.
I was just too embarrassed to break it to Sun Wufu.
I'm afraid of telling him that he can't accept such a cruel reality.
For this reason, we could only urge Sun Wufu to go back to his place of residence and have a look, hoping that bad luck would not really come.
But Murphy's Law still takes effect.
The temporary residence of Sun Wufu and Xu Laoliu is an abandoned barn in Balizhuang, the western suburbs.
Ning Weimin followed Sun Wufu, and as soon as he walked into the barn yard, he could see all kinds of things collected in a mess.
Broken shoes, leaky pots, various metals, waste paper, and old furniture...
But the two tricycles that were supposed to be locked on the tree outside the barn door were gone.
Moreover, the large rusty padlock on the barn door was also opened and thrown to the ground.
Sun Wufu shouted Xu Laoliu's name and hurriedly opened the door and rushed in.
As a result, before Ning Weimin could follow him in, Sun Wufu rushed out again and ran to the gate of the courtyard.
He yelled at Xu Laoliu like a ghost crying or a wolf howling.
Ning Weimin took a look into the barn and saw that the room was quite messy, plus he heard Sun Wufu's curse.
He easily made an accurate judgment and verified the result that he had already expected.
Xu Laoliu ran away!
This guy must have been hiding in some corner and saw with his own eyes that Sun Wufu was taken away by the industrial and commercial inspection team.
Not only unwilling to come forward to save him, but also worried about being betrayed by him.
So I hurried back to my hometown, and without stopping, I took away all the valuable things in the barn!
In addition to all the savings of Xu Laoliu himself and Sun Wufu.
There should also be items that are easy to take away and can be sold for a good price on the "ghost market".
There were even more than ten kilograms of scrap copper and two tricycles.
There is no doubt that Sun Wufu's friendship and trust were completely betrayed again.
He probably never expected that Xu Laoliu would have such a scheme.
So at this moment, his world should be completely white, almost completely dead.
So much so that he mistook the road under his feet for a pile of cotton and fell down several times.
Then he stopped cursing, and sat at the entrance of the courtyard as if he was stupid, looking at the east and west roads, motionless.
But his mouth was like a faucet that couldn't be turned off, and words were still flowing endlessly.
"He ran, he ran, he ran, he ran..."
If Ning Weimin hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that it would be so scary when a person repeats a simple sentence endlessly.
He clearly saw that something was wrong with Sun Wufu's state. It could be said that he was like a man crying at the grave, sitting alone in the mess.
This undoubtedly heralds a collapse of spirit and belief.
Ning Weimin could not ignore this, so he quickly walked over and patted Sun Wufu on the shoulder.
Then he helped Sun Wufu up from the cold ground.
At the same time, he comforted him with his mouth.
"Five blessings, man. Xu Laoliu is not honest, but the long-term pain is worse than the short-term pain. It is better to recognize his face early than to be tricked by him in the future. It's okay, why don't we just lose some money! Let's make more money and it's over. !I will pay you the capital!"
These warm words finally warmed Sun Wufu's heart.
Hot tears poured out of his eyes uncontrollably, and fell on his feet in large drops.
…………
Half an hour later, Ning Weimin and Sun Wufu were sitting together in a nearby noodle shop.
Ning Weimin originally wanted to treat Sun Wufu to a treat, but the area near Balizhuang in the western suburbs was too desolate.
He had no choice but to comply with Sun Wufu's wishes and go to the noodle shop that didn't even have a name that this kid frequented.
The environment here is definitely not hygienic and clean, so Ning Weimin couldn't eat the noodles even if he asked for them.
Sun Wufu didn't hesitate to do that, he had completely turned his grief and anger into appetite.
Once I started eating, I couldn't stop. I actually ate four large bowls including Ning Weimin's bowl.
And the one who eats it is restless.
After a while, he shouted, "Hey, give me some spicy food! Why is there no spicy food in the spicy jar?"
After a while, he shouted again, "Where's the garlic? There's no more garlic. Here's another lump of garlic!"
He kept pushing the noodles into his mouth, his tongue couldn't stir it up and he shouted, "Give me two bowls of noodle soup!"
It wasn't until he finished eating that the boy felt a little embarrassed.
He burped and wiped the sweat from his head and said, "Purchasing, am I too good at eating? You don't want to take a bite. Why do you think the noodles are not fragrant?"
"What? I thought you had never eaten in your life!"
Ning Weimin’s smile.
"By the way, I want to discuss something with you. When we eat somewhere in the future, can we not squat on a stool, smack our lips, say sweet things so loudly, and don't rinse the soup in our mouths? And don't do it again!
Call me purchasing, and from now on call me Manager Ning."
Sun Wufu suddenly fainted, "I just... embarrassed you? Then... will you help me?"
"Help, these are two different things."
Ning Weimin held back his smile and said seriously, "I'm teaching you, not to dislike you, but for your own good. Since you are in the city, no matter what you do, you should try your best to be like a city person so that you can deal with others better.
Right? This is called doing as the Romans do."
He paused and then said, "As for how to help, you choose. The first option is to do it yourself. If you need capital, I have almost five hundred yuan, which I can give you. When will you have it?
When will you pay me back? Or if you collect the things that can be bought in the ghost market, let me see them first, and we can offset them with things."
"What about the other option? You might as well get rid of everything here and come with me. From now on, I will cover all your food, drink, and accommodation. But from now on, wherever you go to collect things and wherever you go to sell them,
No matter how you collect things, you have to listen to me. I can guarantee that you will earn at least one hundred yuan a month. And it will only be no less, so you no longer have to worry about being copied when you sell things..."
Before he finished speaking, Sun Wufu made up his mind.
"I listened to you and did it with you. People always say that my name is bad, saying that it sounds like I am not blessed. I also think that my name is good, which means I am blessed. How about meeting you today? You
You are my noble man. I don’t need a hundred. Since you care about my food and accommodation, I can just give you sixty. Okay? Procurement..."
Ning Weimin frowned after hearing this.
"Why are you still calling me this? Forgot what we were talking about just now?"
Sun Wufu was stunned and immediately changed his mind.
"I'm sorry, I...I forgot...Ning...Manager Ning!"
"Yes. That's what it's called. Sixty is too little, let's stick to one hundred, lest you have to pull out the drawer later and regret it later..."
Sun Wufu immediately patted his chest, full of enthusiasm.
"No, no, I will never go back on my word. You saved me. Then who will I be if I go back on my word? And I've told you a long time ago, I'll be content with sixty. Just sixty! We can't take our word for granted.
!”
He hesitated again.
"Otherwise, I'll settle for one year at sixty. Later, it depends on the situation... Also, you're in charge of the food... How many days will it take for you to eat meat? If it doesn't work, just the shaved noodles with meat dumplings..."
Ning Weimin was really amused now.
He said in his heart, after all, this man is not stupid.
