In the following days, Zhang Bei always guarded his father at night and his mother during the day for fear of another accident.
As the saying goes: people feel refreshed when happy events happen. Under the careful care of his wife and son, Zhang Jingzhong's injury was no longer serious. At his strong request, they took him home. He went back that day through Shunzi With the publicity, all the relatives nearby knew that the son of the old Zhang family was back, and he was still a difficult person to mess with.
No, as soon as Lao Zhang returned home, several people nearby got the news and came to visit. At noon, Zhang’s mother arranged a table full of food. As soon as she came, people came to the house, and they all carried things. Make something good, and secondly, my son hasn’t had a good meal at home since he came back!
Zhang Jingzhong was not allowed to drink, so Zhang Bei had a few drinks with some uncles. After drinking for thirty years, the uncles asked about Zhang Bei's situation in the past few years, and vaguely talked about how many people he had been with since he was in the army. The total asked:
"Huzi, do you have a partner? If not, I will ask someone to find you a try!"
"Haha, okay, but I don't have a job now, but people look down on us!"
"By the way, Huzi, there is a hotel opened in front of our town. I see they are recruiting security guards. You are a veteran, go and try it!"
"Well, I'll go take a look in the next two days!"
.......
After sending away several uncles, Zhang Bei helped his mother pack up the plastic bottles in the yard, put them in bags, tied them, and asked:
"Mom, where can I buy this thing?"
“It’s far away, to the south of the train station. It takes more than an hour to walk!”
"It's so far away, Mom, aren't there any waste collectors in our area?"
"Where is it? It would be nice to have it. Even if it costs less, we are willing to do it. Normally, I walk and talk with a few old ladies in the back streets!" These words of Zhang's mother, Let Zhang Bei see the 'money' scene. Most of the people living in this area are from poor families. Generally, they are not willing to throw away the waste. After accumulating a lot, they can take it to the city purchasing station to buy it. Not to mention the long journey, there is still money. I am often deceived by others. If I open a small scrap collection station in this area, although I won't make a lot of money, I will still make small money. The old couple don't have to go out to work early in the morning and late at night! Moreover, the cost is not high, and the place is easy to find.
Thinking of this, Zhang Bei felt a lot more excited. After quickly consulting the price of these waste products in the market, he pulled the bundled garbage and walked out.
As soon as he opened the door of the courtyard, a figure suddenly bumped into him and bumped into Zhang Bei's arms. Zhang Bei instinctively hugged the other person. After the other party said "ah", Zhang Bei looked at him this time. It was clear that there was a girl in my arms, so I quickly let go of my hand. The atmosphere was a bit awkward.
"I'm sorry!" A voice like a mosquito came out of the girl's mouth. Her face was flushed and her delicate skin looked very cute!
Zhang Bei was a little stunned for a moment, and he stammered for a long time:
"No, no, it's okay!"
Zhang's mother, who rushed over after hearing the sound, saw the girl standing outside the door and said with a smile:
"Xiaohui, why are you back so early today?"
"Ah? Madam, I have a day off today!" After saying that, he continued to lower his head, put his hands on the corners of his clothes, and fiddled with them back and forth.
"Huzi, this is the person who rented our house, Zhong Xiaohui. Xiaohui, this is my son. He came back from outside just now!" At this time, Zhang Bei acted a little naive, and habitually stretched out his hand and said :
"Hello!" Seeing Zhang Bei's outstretched hand, Zhong Xiaohui was unable to make a decision for a moment, then shyly stretched out her hand and replied:
"Hello!" He held the other person's hand tightly and felt the cold and soft texture of the other person's small hand. He forgot to let go for a moment. When the other person struggled, he quickly let go and said to Zhang's mother without looking back. :
"Mom, I'm out!"
Passing by, there is a slight fragrance...
Zhang Bei ran out of the house in embarrassment, and it took a long time to calm down the ups and downs in his heart. Zhong Xiaohui's cute face and delicate hands kept flashing in his mind!
"Grandma, it's not spring yet, why is it spring!" After saying that, he adjusted his mentality and borrowed an old-fashioned 'Dalianhe' (a bicycle with a bar on the front in the 1990s) from his next door neighbor. ) Ride to the scrap collection station!
About half an hour later, Zhang Bei rode his bicycle to the only scrap collection station in this area. The popularity of the business made Zhang Bei even more confident!
When he arrived in the queue, Zhang Bei placed two large bags of broken bottles on the ground, and the staff picked them one by one. During this moment, Zhang Bei chatted with the other person:
"Boss, business is good!" As he said this, Zhang Beibian took out a pack of four-dollar red plum cigarettes from his pocket and handed it to the other party. The boss was also a cheerful person, so he took it and said carelessly:
“It’s okay, it’s okay!”
"By the way, boss, what price can you give me if I have a large amount of accumulated goods?" When he heard that a big business was coming, the boss said even more enthusiastically.
"how many?"
"I can't guarantee it, but what I can guarantee is that within a month at most and at least half a month, I can give you five bags with this bag!" These two bags are the result of Mrs. Zhang's accumulation for nearly a month. The boss listened. After finishing what Zhang Bei said, Sisihui said:
"A bottle costs one cent more, and a pound of waste paper costs one cent more. What do you think, brother?"
"Boss, you are upset. You and I both know the price now." Upon hearing what the other party said, the boss felt unsure. It turned out that the other party was also an expert. In fact, Zhang Bei had just come back and knew the price, so he just wanted to give it a try.
"Little brother, I think you are also a cheerful person. If that's what I told you, we won't be nagging. Bottles and waste paper are worth one and a half!"
"Okay, boss, let's just say this!"
...
After receiving the money from the boss for selling scraps, Zhang Bei rushed home without stopping. Now that the price was agreed upon, the next step was to find a venue and buy some supporting items!
After returning to the town, Zhang Bei first returned the car to his neighbor, then trotted open the door of his house and called for his mother!
"Mom, do you think there is a larger space near the street that our family can rent?" Zhang Bei had just finished speaking when he looked up and saw a young man standing in the back room. He couldn't restrain his excitement. shouted:
"Golden egg?"
"Brother Huzi! You are back. If I hadn't gone home today, I wouldn't have known you were back!" After saying that, the two hugged each other tightly.
Jin Dan is Zhang Bei's brother since childhood, and their relationship is not ordinary. Jin Dan is his nickname, and his original name is Zhang Jianfei.
When the two brothers met, they couldn't help but sit down and talk deeply. After chatting, Zhang Bei found out that Jin Dan was already 25 this year and still had no partner. He worked as a driver in a cleaning company in the city. He had a younger brother and younger sister. His parents died early. After raising his younger brothers and sisters, he sent them to school, and his own affairs were put on hold.
"What the hell, when are you going to get married?"
"Why are you getting married? The second child is still in college and the tuition is not cheap. The third sister is still in high school. This is where the money is spent. Which girl is willing to suffer like this with me!"
"Look what you said, I'm telling you it's their loss if they don't follow us!"
"Haha, don't tell me, Brother Huzi, where have you been in the past few years? You have been so silent. I ran here almost as soon as I came back, but there is no news about you!"
"Don't tell me, I wanted to change my job in the army, but I couldn't do it. It was delayed..." Zhang Bei said in a panic.
"What are you going to do when you come back? You've been thinking about it since you were a kid. Come back, brother, so I can follow you around!"
"Don't mention it yet, brother just thought of a way today!"
"Talk about it!" Zhang Bei told Jin Dan that he was planning to open a scrap collection station, and they hit it off immediately. Jin Dan agreed. Just when the two of them talked about their plans, Zhang's mother walked out of the back room with a smile. He came out and said to the two of them:
"Dan, don't leave today. Try my aunt's craftsmanship. When I came here, I bought something and left without eating. This tiger is back. You two brothers should talk to me!"
"Auntie, I want to eat your baked pancakes with eggs!"
"Okay! By the way, Huzi, you can invite Xiaohui to eat together later. It's not easy for a girl's family!"
"Okay, mother, I understand!" After Zhang's mother went out, Zhang Bei stretched out his right hand, put it on Jin Dan's shoulder, and said with a slight sob:
"Golden Egg, thank you for these years!"
"Brother, what are you doing? Do you still think of me as your brother?" Seeing Jin Dan's anxious look, Zhang Bei laughed out loud.
"Yes, we are brothers, so don't say so much. Don't leave tonight. Let's make a good summary with my brother..."
