Chapter 558: Always Decent(1/2)
Wang Yan opened the drawer, took out a one-yuan note, put it on the table, and then pushed the drawer open: "Don't be in a hurry to pay it back. You probably didn't use this money to supplement your family income. You must have seen something else."
You haven't arranged your work yet, just wait until you get a job and get paid and then you can pay it back."
"Hey, thank you, Your Majesty." Han Chunming clasped his fists and asked: "You know so many people, how about you help me?"
"What's the use of knowing a lot of people? Why do you think they are giving face? It's not because I have no worries, I'm alone, and I've practiced my skills, and three or five people can't get close to me. If I really don't have much friendship, it's because I'm not sensible.
Damn it. The stubborn masters are all a bunch of alley gangsters who are not doing their jobs properly. To be honest, veterans, our status is not good enough for others. It would be nice if we can go out and have a good time and eat and drink.
Besides, we are all in our twenties now, are we still in our teens? Those who give face, call me "Master" like you, and those who don't give face, I am just a grandson. People either join the army or become soldiers.
Some units work as odd jobs, so I don't have a role to speak.
Moreover, there are so many old men returning to the city now, and they are all looking for connections and favors. Where can I speak? You don’t even think about it. If I were really that capable, I wouldn’t go to the food factory to repair equipment. It’s just me.
That’s why dad took special care of me and made me an apprentice, otherwise I wouldn’t know what to do.”
Wang Yan shook his head: "Don't count on me, but I remember that Yang Huajian's father seems to be a bit capable. You can go find him to study it."
"Why haven't I looked for it? He is idle now. How can he care about me?" Han Chunming sighed: "I'd better wait for news about Cheng Jianjun's father. His father promised to help find a solution. That's okay, no.
I'm sorry for disturbing your pleasure of drinking."
After he finished speaking, he carefully moved the stool. It belonged to Huanghuali, and it burned his buttocks even when he sat on it. After placing the stool, he went out and left.
Wang Yan smiled, turned on the radio on the table, listened to the news broadcast inside, and drank a small drink from a small wine glass that might be worth millions in the future.
The most famous Chenghua doucai cup is the doucai chicken cup, which sold for more than 20 million Hong Kong dollars in the real world. This one is not as unique as the chicken cup, but because there are not many porcelains from the Chenghua period that have been handed down,
There are only less than a thousand pieces, and this is a set of the four gentlemen of Plum, Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum, and the condition is extremely good. If the four are sold together, the total price must be much higher than the chicken cup. As for whether it is like this in the real world
It's not important if it's a set handed down from ancient times. Anyway, he has it now, and it's still used by the imperial court.
So in the end, this time the living father treated such a big boy like him well. Just the people in his house, just waiting to die, will have a net worth of hundreds of millions in the new millennium.
He had to eat well by himself, so he leisurely drank half a catty of wine, ate all the fried pork with bean sprouts, got up, cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks, and washed the remaining sorghum water rice, and poured out the water.
Put it in a basin to control drying. It is midsummer now, so this is to avoid going sour tomorrow morning. Few people go out to have breakfast now. Firstly, it is not easy to buy, and secondly, it is too expensive.
Of course, when it's so hot, if the rice is left overnight, it will definitely still taste a little bit, but it will definitely be edible. Not to mention Wang Yan's current body, even if he is as weak as before and has no strength to tie a chicken,
No problem. After all, when he was a child in the village, he ate sorghum, millet, etc. like this.
After tidying up, Wang Yan lit a flower and walked out carrying the trash can.
Now it is just about to darken, and the Han family in the main room is very lively. The whole family has come back, and they are eating meat dumplings in a lively manner. After passing the front house and going out, there is a small shop at the street corner.
There were quite a few people gathered, sitting on the small horses they had prepared or on the large rocks scattered here. Some people were waving cattail fans and chatting lively.
Under the streetlight of the telephone pole, there was a circle of people around. It was not difficult to understand that the "general draws the cart" that came out from the crowd was playing chess with that person.
Wang Yan carried the bucket and walked through the crowd with a smile. Uncle Zhang, Aunt Liu, Uncle Qian, Aunt He, and Brother Lu said hello.
People also responded with a smile. After he left, the group of people began to turn the topic to Wang Yan. Why is this child's life miserable? This child has a good physique. This child is capable. This child's studies have been delayed.
Ah, what a mess...
The place where the garbage is dumped is not far away, a few dozen meters beyond the street entrance. There are special trash cans here for centralized disposal, and some on the side are public toilets. The place where grains are reincarnated is also used by many people nearby, so
Of course there are some people who are particular about it and some who are not, and their quality varies from good to bad, so that’s it. The relevant personnel are very diligent in cleaning up, and there is still room for improvement.
"Your Majesty!"
While he was pouring dirty water, he heard someone saying hello. Wang Yan turned his head and looked around. Around the corner not far away, there was a skinny boy with a crew cut who looked like he was malnourished and waved to him.
After spitting out the cigarette butts in his mouth, Wang Yan turned the bottom of the bucket twice more, and then left the garbage pile and walked towards the boy: "Monkey, what's the matter?"
This man's name is actually Li Hailong, which is a somewhat domineering name. However, because of his skinny monkey-like figure, he naturally got the nickname "Monkey". He is also in his twenties, but because of his family's bad background
, and job opportunities were limited, so he became a gangster as expected, but he didn't do anything bad. He just acted cruelly, got into fights, etc., and didn't harm anyone.
Now we are on the Hunshichahai side, where there is a black market that has been passed down since the Republic of China. In this era, you have to rely on tickets for everything, it is difficult to spend money, and it is difficult to buy things if you want to, so naturally this place is active again
Get up. Bring some items to exchange for money, some need to exchange for national tickets, some need nutritional supplements for the children at home, there are all kinds of things. This guy has a small gang, and he brings a group of people to trade tickets with him, or get some
Agricultural and sideline products, some small business can be done secretly.
In this day and age, if you are doing this job, you are certainly not short of money, but you are always on tenterhooks.
"Didn't I just happen to see you? Today is the day when the market opens again. I wanted to ask if you would go?"
"I would have forgotten it if you didn't tell me." Wang Yan patted his forehead, shook his head and smiled: "Forget it, I won't go. I'm a little tired from working these two days, and I drank wine at night. You guys do your thing.
Just keep an eye out for me if there’s anything good I can use.”
This thing is like going to a market, there are rules, such as three, six, nine, two, four, eight, etc. Of course, these rules are only in a few larger places, or places with a relatively complete range of things. This is where there are people behind.
, this is the so-called rule. However, there are so many people in the capital, and there are too many people in need every day. Naturally, large and small trading markets are formed spontaneously, and they cannot be controlled at all.
Of course, it is not unattended, but it is just to catch people regularly and complete the tasks. In addition, the focus of people's attention is not on the heads of these flat-headed people. Now it is considered to be in the later stage, and it is not like the beginning.
It was very strict at that time. And to a certain extent, it was considered a spontaneous adjustment by the people. The road could not be completely blocked, there had to be some openings.
So secretly, the market in Beijing is also quite prosperous. After all, people here are more sensitive, and the sensitivity to tightness is very strong.
"Okay, Your Majesty, you are busy, I'm leaving."
Wang Yan nodded with a smile, swayed the bucket in his hand and returned home.
Judging from the monkey's attitude towards him, you can tell that he is not working in a food factory honestly. Otherwise, no matter how famous and prosperous he once was, he would not be such a bad guy who makes money and has several subordinates.
Maybe you are so respectful to him. Strength always speaks. When I was young, I looked at my personal strength. Now I am in my twenties. It doesn’t matter if I can really beat him. It depends on who is capable. Obviously, he is still capable.
of.
According to the identity given by the living father, his majesty is certainly not for nothing. He still has a few loyal followers who thoroughly implement his instructions. He can do everything from freeing money to collecting antiques. Anyway, he is not poor, and he is more
Just don't be bullied. After all, watching him grow up, the living father understands him...
I put the bucket home and didn't stay in the house. Instead, I got a folding fan to fan the wind and went out to watch people playing chess. It was really early now, it was only after six o'clock, and it was not the time to go to bed.
There were no entertainment activities, and the house felt stuffy in the hot weather, so I would have spent most of my time outside feeding mosquitoes.
Although he watched TV series before coming here and worked for another day, he was not sleepy now, so he went out for a walk to feel the authentic atmosphere of the old capital in the 1970s.
Fanning himself, he strolled to a group of people playing chess and stood back to watch the excitement.
This time, one of the parties was Old Man Guan. He swayed and sniffed, raised his head and glanced at Wang Yan who was gathered outside, and then continued the game.
It's quite possible to live at this old age, and there are still thirty years left. Speaking of which, apart from the son and the daughter-in-law who are not filial, he is the most comfortable person in the play. He is senior and older, and he supports them all. Moreover, he is a serious old man.
, although it seems that there is no relationship in the play, but in fact, according to his identity, he still has some personal connections.
After watching it for more than an hour, the number of people who came one after another became less and less. This was the schedule of this year. At seven or eight o'clock, I would lie in bed with my family and talk to each other about the family's shortcomings. I would not light the lamp because the electronics were expensive. 4.
If you divide one degree into one degree, you still only have to spend one yuan a month. But at this time, the average salary of people is only twenty or thirty, and a pound of fat meat is only seventy or eighty cents, so I can't bear to part with it.
Of course Wang Yan would not go to bed so early. He was still watching. It was only after seven o'clock and he planned to go back at eight o'clock.
At this time, Han Chunming ran over from the courtyard and squatted next to Wang Yan who was smoking.
Lao Guantuan raised his eyes and glanced: "Thief Sun, what's the matter?"
"ah."
"Come on, boy, give me a couple of tricks." Lao Guantuan stood up and spoke to Wang Yan.
Wang Yan shook his head and said to the middle-aged man watching chess on the other side: "I'm just a stinky chess player. I just want to watch the excitement. Uncle Zhang should do it."
"You guys watch this every day, how can you make progress if you don't do it?" Uncle Zhang said so, but he sat down at the old juncture and even "gong pawn" very simply, everyone had already thought of his moves.
Playing chess is addictive. This process of confrontation, the battle of wisdom, chess skills, and the joy between victory and defeat are actually very good. Wang Yan smiled and said nothing, and just squatted there and continued to watch.
This scene is actually not unfamiliar. It is the beginning of the play, but it has already changed. And the source of the change is just a dollar that Han Chunming borrowed from him.
It turned out that Han Chunming deceived his eldest brother. After his eldest brother found out that he had been deceived, he went to Han Chunming to settle the score. Han Chunming went to Su Meng to pay back the money. He borrowed money from Su Meng because his aunt came empty-handed during the day.
He borrowed money from Su Meng to buy apples so that his family would not find fault. After paying back Su Meng's 50 cents, he ran to the air-raid shelter with Su Meng to avoid being chased by his elder brother.
As for Cheng Jianjun, the player whose brain had been kicked by a donkey, while he was thinking about pursuing Su Meng, he also locked the two of them in to assist. He directly helped the two of them hug each other, and their relationship developed rapidly.
Then Han Chunming ran out and found the old juncture to find out whether the telescopic cigarette pole he saw during the day was a good thing.
But it's different now. Wang Yan lent Han Chunming a dollar, so Han Chunming didn't have to lie to his elder brother to be hunted down, and naturally he and Su Meng didn't have to run to the air-raid shelter to hide. In other words, it was a normal return.
With fifty cents, some chatted a few words, and then came over to see Lao Guanguan.
Things are different after this time. Although it is still hard to stop Han Chunming from liking Su Meng. After all, Han Chunming has been interested in Su Meng since he was a child and has always played well. It’s just that he was rusty after joining the team for several years, so he stayed for a while.
It happened that Su Meng didn't have classes anymore, so she lived in a courtyard. As she walked by, she regained her feelings. There was some response from Su Meng, which was considered a positive contact.
But because the current experience is different from the original, the progress bar is definitely not that fast, and a lot has been decided. A thousand-mile embankment will collapse in an ant nest. Many things are often doomed from the beginning.
Han Chunming and Lao Guanguan murmured a few words over there, then suddenly ran over and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to discuss with you."
"It's not you, why are you so busy?" Wang Yan turned to look at the old man sitting behind him, stood up with his knees up, and walked over with Han Chunming who was smiling awkwardly: "What's the matter?"
"I just told you about your set of colorful patterned wine glasses. The old man wants to hug you."
"Is it possible, kid?" Lao Guanjian said: "I knew your father had good things before, but I didn't expect that your kid is quite capable of tinkering. You can get such a good thing."
"What's wrong with this? Let's go and have a look at my house, so you can get your hands on it and see if it's true."
Wang Yan shook his head and smiled. It means that the old man is old and his brain is not clear and no one takes it seriously. Otherwise, if he keeps talking like this all day long, there will be no good results and he will basically die in the bullpen. Of course, this is also possible.
To be continued...
