Chapter 11 Lighters

Lao Niu's family is not considered poor in the commune. It is a large tile-roofed house that looks to have been newly renovated. There is a large courtyard in the front and a cowshed on the left. There is also a wife in the house.

"Let's make arrangements. Xiao Wang will stay at our house tonight." Lao Niu's voice was loud.

The old lady was a kind person and said with a smile on her face: "Okay, haven't you eaten yet?"

Wang Xiaojun hurriedly said: "I have eaten it."

Lao Niu snorted and said, "What time is it? I'm already hungry. Please help us get something to eat."

When Wang Xiaojun wanted to say something else, Lao Niu said: "Okay, just listen to me."

After washing their faces and feet, everyone sat down inside the room.

The house is very tidy inside.

"Where are your children?" Wang Xiaojun asked.

"They're all out. The eldest brother works in the county. I just brought him a few things today. He's married, has a woman, and has a child. The second child is going to college and passed the exam last year."

Wang Xiaojun was a little in awe. You must know that at this time, whether he can work in the county or go to university, he is a very powerful person.

Seeing Lao Niu's proud look, Wang Xiaojun was really curious and asked: "Your two sons are really amazing."

"Haha, it's my luck. In the past, a leader was sent to our commune, so I protected him. He lived in our home, and our two sons learned some knowledge from him. Later, the leader left and helped my family grow.

My son said a few words, and my younger son got into college based on his ability."

So that’s it!

Wang Xiaojun thought to himself, no wonder Old Man Niu is living so well, he has a backing!

With these thoughts, Wang Xiaojun once again found that his ideological understanding was constantly improving, and he could now understand many things that he could not understand before.

I also cooked a bowl of noodles. This bowl of noodles looked good, with a layer of oil and green onions on it, and it smelled very fragrant.

After eating, when Lao Niu took out his dry tobacco bag and wanted to smoke, Wang Xiaojun thought that he seemed to have a lighter that he bought for one yuan.

Taking out the plastic disposable lighter, Wang Xiaojun handed it to Old Man Niu and said, "Uncle, this is a lighter I got. I have no use for it, so I gave it to you."

Wang Xiaojun also wanted to thank the other party for being so polite.

Lao Niu saw the lighter in Wang Xiaojun's hand and said, "This is a rare item."

As soon as Wang Xiaojun pressed the button, a flame came out.

"Yes!" Lao Niu took it and played with it for a while, then handed it to Wang Xiaojun and said: "This thing is very precious, I don't dare to accept it."

"It's nothing valuable. I picked it up in the county town."

Lao Niu hesitated. He was really curious about this thing. As for why he didn't hand it over to the police after he picked it up, Lao Niu really didn't think about it.

"One advantage of this thing is that it can be used when it rains. It is not afraid of water like matches." Wang Xiaojun added.

Lao Niu slapped his thigh and said, "I want this thing. In this way, I won't take advantage of you. How about I give you a bag of salt?"

Wang Xiaojun also found out that his eldest son was working in a sales agency in the county town, and he probably got a lot of cheap salt from there.

"Okay, thank you then."

Wang Xiaojun thought that now he could explain to the villagers.

There was nothing to say all night. When she got up early the next morning, the old lady cooked another bowl of noodles for Wang Xiaojun to eat. She even brought an earthen jar to Wang Xiaojun and said, "This is the salt the old man gave you."

Wang Xiaojun was not polite, put it in the backpack, waved and left.

05:01:25:07

Looking at the numbers, Wang Xiaojun didn't know whether he came to the county town at the right time or not. He felt that he didn't gain much.

After walking for most of the day, Wang Xiaojun finally returned to the village at around two o'clock in the afternoon.

"Xiaojun is back!" Immediately, some sharp-eyed people saw Wang Xiaojun walking towards him.

"Xiaojun, how are you?" Someone asked eagerly at this time.

With a wry smile, Wang Xiaojun said: "The price of Shangu in the county was sold by some people in the village, and the price was very low. This time I brought back some salt. I know that everyone in the village is short of salt. This jar of salt

Here, anyone who takes the mountain orphan can share some salt back."

"It would be good if we could get some salt. My family happens to be short of salt."

"It's a good thing. I didn't expect Xiaojun to actually do it."

Suddenly, smiles appeared on everyone's faces. In everyone's opinion, they had made a profit.

"Xiaojun, do you think this can't be done?"

"It can be done, but I plan to sell it in other areas. The price there is said to be higher."

When they heard that they were going to the area, everyone was shocked, something they had never thought of.

"Xiaojun, I can't let you help in vain. From now on, everyone will volunteer. If you are willing to ask you to help sell mountain goods, you can set a price. The higher the price, the more you pay for your hard work."

Zhou Dashi said something at this time.

"Yes, it should, it should."

"Well, I'm not very good at setting prices now. Anyway, I just charge a little hard fee every time I sell it."

Only then did Wang Xiaojun realize that his house had been built.

I have to say that the villagers have worked hard. The foundation is made of stone, the walls are supported by wooden boards and large pillars, and the roof is made of tiles.

After entering inside, although the ground is earth, it is also hammered very solidly.

Not only that, but it also made a bed.

When he saw the bed, Wang Xiaojun realized that he didn't have money to buy bedding or anything like that.
