Chapter Twelve: The Poor People's Children Are Heads of Home Early
() Of course Wang Xiaobo didn't know the value of these two luminous pearls, so he shook his head.
Master Tianyi said: "Back then, your grand master and I went to the house of a warlord who specialized in fighting and stole a treasure box. When we opened it, we found a luminous pearl that was even smaller than this. It turned out that
Take it to Liuli Street in the capital and ask, what price do you want? A whole hundred gold bars."
At this moment, it was Wang Xiaobo's turn to be surprised: "One hundred gold bars?"
"Yes, according to today's price, these two luminous pearls are at least five million yuan." After Master Tianyi returned the luminous pearls to Wang Xiaobo, he continued, "This thing is of no use to me, so you should keep it for yourself.
With."
Wang Xiaobo had no choice but to take out the remaining 2,500 yuan from his pocket. He stood up and took out the more than 20 gold buttons he had found in the stone coffin and gave them to the master: "When you go back, you always have to ask for money."
People who use money should not be afraid of ten thousand, but be afraid of the worst."
At this moment, the master accepted it and explained: "Your current kung fu is definitely ranked among the masters. When you have to take action, you must pay attention to propriety, otherwise you will be in trouble if you lose someone's life."
Wang Xiaobo agreed, fetched water for the master, washed his feet, and slept together.
The next morning, when Wang Xiaobo woke up, he saw a note left for him by Master Tianyi: "Take care, apprentice, I am leaving for my master." He shook his head helplessly and went to find Ma Lin.
Unexpectedly, Marin got up early and was busy cooking breakfast. Probably because he was not used to burning firewood, the smoke was very big but the fire was very small.
Wang Xiaobo smiled and went over to help: "It's not bad to have an ugly wife at this time."
Ma Lin wiped his eyes and said embarrassedly: "That's right, that's what the saying goes that I would rather have Zhong Wuyan than Hedong Lion."
Just as he was talking, a woman's voice came: "Brother Xiaobo, where are you?" As soon as the voice finished, a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old ran into the kitchen: "Oh, this is burning the house down.
Are you still cooking?" After saying that, he pushed Wang Xiaobo away: "Go, go, two grown men are doing this kind of thing, I will call you when the meal is ready."
"Ah, Lan Yatou is already so big. Then I'll have to worry about you." After saying that, he touched her head and went out with Marin.
Soon, the rice was ready, and they also cooked two dishes: fried pickles and vinegar-glazed sweet potato shreds. Marin ate with gusto, and praised the girl Lan for her ability. She blushed with the praise, but she was very proud of herself in her heart.
After the meal, Wang Xiaobo asked her: "Why did you run up here?"
Lan Yatou said: "I heard that you were back, so I went to find you. My aunt said she was here to see the master, so I ran over. By the way, my mother said that it was thanks to you last time that she asked you to come home when you are free.
Eat." Wang Xiaobo said:
"Third Aunt is too polite. How can you remember trivial things so well?" Lan Yatou said: "It's a trivial matter to you, but it's a big deal to our family. My brother's tuition and new clothes for the New Year all depend on this.
It’s a pig.”
When Wang Xiaobo heard her talk about tuition fees, he asked: "By the way, why don't you study today?"
Lan Yatou's face darkened: "Mom said that there were two people in the family who couldn't afford to study, so she gave it to my younger brother. I have been out of school for two years and I help with farm work at home."
Ma Lin shook his head and said with emotion: "The rural areas really favor boys over girls. Do you want to continue studying, Lan Yatou? I will help you finish high school and try to get into college."
Lan Yatou looked happy when she heard this, but then she dimmed again: "Thank you! But my mother works too hard. She can't do so much farm work by herself."
Wang Xiaobo wants to help only one person. It's not that they don't want to study, but that their poor life forces them to give up school. The only way to make these farmers value learning and knowledge is to make them rich. Just think about it.
The girl said: "You come to my house tomorrow and I will teach you how to grow mushrooms and black fungus. When you have money, your mother will naturally let you go to school."
"Really?" Lan Yatou stretched out her little finger to pull the hook with Wang Xiaobo: "If you hang yourself with the hook, it won't change for a hundred years."
At this time, Marin probably also thought of his daughter, who had no worries about food and clothing, but was still dissatisfied with asking for this and that every day. The little girl in front of him was so sensible and capable. It was really a poor child who had already taken charge of the family. So, he
Feeling compassionate, she ran into the house and brought out a gold leaf and gave it to her: "This is a little thought from my brother. Thank you for the breakfast."
Lan Yatou had seen this kind of thing before, and saw that the golden light was very beautiful, so she thought it was a bookmark: "Thank you, brother, this bookmark is really beautiful."
Marin could only smile bitterly: "If it looks good, keep it well and don't lose it."
Lan Yatou nodded solemnly, put the gold leaf into her coat pocket, and pressed it again as if she was afraid it would run away.
Wang Xiaobo smiled and said: "This thing will work. If the family really can't open the pot, just take it out and give it to your mother. It will bring unexpected gains to the family."
Lan Yatou was dubious: "Really?" She took out the gold leaf from her pocket and held it in her hand. She might have accidentally dropped it.
Ma Lin smiled and said, "We'll go back right away." He ran into the house. When he came out, he held two bags in his hands. After handing one of them to Wang Xiaobo, the three of them set off back to Wangjiacun together.
After arriving at home, the village chief Wang Ermao was already waiting for him at home, and about a dozen young workers who were probably masonry and carpenters were chattering there. When Wang Xiaobo came in, they all looked at him seriously, obviously
I have regarded him as the boss, no! In that era, he should be said to be the leader or the director of the factory.
Wang Xiaobo said hello to everyone in time, put down the package and said: "You are all here, everything has been explained at home? This time I went to Lingnan to work. A construction company needs people, so I introduced you. We have already negotiated with them.
, the basic salary is 200 yuan per month. The more you work, the more you will get. If you work harder, you may be able to earn 500 yuan per month. But there is one thing. When you get there, you can't be as casual as in the village. You have to obey the leadership there."
When these dozen migrant workers heard that they could earn more than 500 yuan, they were all overjoyed. They nodded repeatedly, saying that they would resolutely obey the leadership there and would never embarrass him.
So, Wang Xiaobo took out more than 2,000 yuan from the back room, gave 200 yuan to each person, and said: "This is the settlement allowance for everyone. When you get back, take care of your daily necessities and prepare to leave in the afternoon."
It was the first time for these migrant workers to go out, so they asked all kinds of questions, what tools should they bring? One quilt or two quilts? Some people even asked if they should bring toilet paper. Wang Xiaobo took the trouble to ask.
One answered.
When everyone had nothing to ask, he pulled Ma Lin in front of him: "This is the first time for everyone to go out, so I will ask Engineer Ma to take you to the provincial capital to take the train, provide you with tickets and accommodation for the night.
The workers will make arrangements for you, so be sure to follow his instructions along the way."
"Little nephew, don't worry, we will definitely obey his orders." This man was obviously a relative of his family.
Wang Xiaobo called out respectfully: "Fourth Uncle, I'll help you. You will be responsible for the dozen or so people on the train. After getting off the train at Lingnan, there will be someone at the door holding a sign with the name Wangjia Village on it.
Come to pick you up."
Fourth uncle agreed and asked again: "Then how do we know we have arrived in Lingnan?"
Wang Xiaobo smiled: "It's the final stop to Lingnan. When you see that there is no one in the carriage, just follow us."
He said this, and he was really a little worried. He went over to discuss with Ma Lin: "Ask Ying Chuchu if she can send someone to take them to Lingnan, even if it's a labor fee, I really
I’m a little worried.”
Marin nodded: "In this case, my brother-in-law has nothing to do at home anyway. Give him some money and let him go for a trip."
Wang Xiaobo said: "Okay, what does your brother-in-law do?"
Ma Lin said: "I used to be engaged in architectural design, but because of the different design concepts, I offended the leader. I quit in a fit of anger. Now I am idle at home."
Wang Xiaobo was overjoyed: "That's just right. If you ask him if he wants to go to Lingnan for development, the salary will be the same as that of a middle-level cadre there, no less than 500 yuan per month?"
Now it was Marin's turn to be surprised. As soon as his wife came home, she would bother him every day, asking him to help his brother find a job. Now a good thing would come to his door automatically. How could he not be happy: "He is alone anyway, and he is like this
The salary is high, so is there any reason not to go? Xiao Wang, thank you very much."
Wang Xiaobo thought for a while, took out a pen, wrote a phone number and name on a piece of paper, and handed it to Ma Lin: "In the evening, you can call Yu Mei at this number and tell her the train number and your brother's situation. Okay.
Let the car be picked up over there."
Ma Lin smiled and said: "You are such a great love saint. Is this another woman? Be honest, how many women do you have in your pocket?"
Mother Wang, who had been silent next to her, became excited when she heard about the woman: "Xiao Ma, Xiaobo really has so many women? Which one is his girlfriend?"
Ma Lin smiled and said to Wang Xiaobo: "Look, your mother seems to be anxious to have a grandson. You have to work hard." Then he turned to Wang's mother and said: "Don't worry, aunt, your son is very capable."
, there are many girls chasing him, but he is very picky, you have to help him check it, otherwise it will be troublesome to find a useless wife."
Mother Wang said: "What else can I choose? As long as my butt is big."
Marin was surprised. Mother Wang was really special. When choosing a daughter-in-law, she didn't choose whether she was pretty or not, but she chose someone with a big butt. This was the first time she heard about it. He asked, "Why do you choose a wife with a big butt?"
Mother Wang said: "Women with big butts have good health and can give birth."
