It only took a while for Mao Rong to get to know this driver. The tricycle cost 18,000 yuan and had all the license plates. However, the engine of the car was not good. It would have to be overhauled once after running for two or three thousand kilometers at most. This would not allow him to earn a few bucks.
money.
His three-wheeler is just more sophisticated than ordinary three-wheelers. It has a sealed car body and hides all the people in the car. Although it can't be blown by the wind or wet by the rain, the domestic engine technology is still too poor.
.
Maintenance is done once a month, and all the money earned goes to the car repairman, so he might as well go out to work!
Half an hour later, Plush returned to Maojia Village as he wished. The driver took down the luggage and asked with concern: "Do you want to help deliver it home?"
&\(mnbsp; He saw so much stuffed luggage, how could one person carry it? It would have to be moved several times, right?
Plush thought for a while, but declined the driver's kindness: "Thank you! No, my home is very close, that's it. If I shout, my family will come over."
Plush paid 20 yuan, and the driver thanked him. He asked again and again to confirm that Plush didn't need help, and then drove away.
Seeing the driver's tricycle start, he actually looked back a few times, as if confirming Plush's address, which made Plush laugh.
Although the things that Fu Fu brought back looked like a lot, they were not heavy. In addition to a large bag of dried fish, there was also a bag of his own belongings, including the shells he brought back, as well as his own clothes.
There is also a bag containing biscuits and other snacks he prepared, as well as new clothes for his parents.
He was just about to leave the dried fish where he was and come back to get it later, when a flashlight came over.
"Oops! It's eldest brother! Are you back so late? Second uncle and the others must have eaten. There are so many things, let me get some for you!"
Hearing this voice, Plush already knew who it was.
This is his cousin's son, who is no longer studying.
Usually, he helps at home. If there is something to do in town, he might go and earn some cigarette money.
"Xiao Liang, you come out so late. Aren't you afraid that your uncle will scold you to death?" Plush smiled.
"What are you afraid of? I've been scolded every day and I've long been immune to it." Mao Liang said nonchalantly.
Come on! Plush has nothing to say. It seems that this guy is really in this situation.
Although he was a bit out of tune, it was because of his uncle's connivance. If he wasn't afraid that Mao Liang would go out and suffer hardship, Mao Liang would have gone out to work long ago.
"Isn't this dried fish? The smell is so strong." Mao Liang came closer and his nose twitched. He immediately smelled the fishy smell.
"Your nose is quite normal, that's right! This is seafood. Later, take some home and let your uncle and the others taste it. I dried this myself." Plush said as he walked.
Mao Liang has also heard that this eldest brother is doing well outside and making a lot of money. It is said that he works as a security guard. But in a big city, even working as a security guard is better than earning three walnuts and two dates at home.
.
Some time ago, a matchmaker came to the door and said that he would introduce his daughter to his eldest brother. However, he heard that the eldest brother already had a partner, so the excitement became quiet.
In the past, many women's families were disgusted when they saw their eldest brother serving as a soldier. Now that they heard that he had made a lot of money and had a promising future, they no longer minded, and everyone came to visit him, but it seemed that it was already too late.
"Big cities are great. Isn't the sea there beautiful? A lot of fish? Are the fish big?" At this time, Mao Liang couldn't help but ask, who can take root in a big city like Magic City must be
He is capable, otherwise there would be no one to marry his eldest brother.
It's a pity that he has never even left this city. The farthest he went to the city was when he was studying. The two years he spent studying in the city broadened his horizons and gained some experience. Otherwise, he would have lost his mind.
Like many people in my family, I work as the sun rises and rest as the sun sets.
However, he did not finish high school. His grandfather was seriously ill and could not afford to support his studies. In addition, he did not really want to study, so he quickly packed up his things and left school.
In this way, there is less pressure on the family, and I am happy. More importantly, the class teacher and the school are also happy, as they finally get rid of a laggard.
"Yeah! It's beautiful. If you have a chance in the future, you will know if you go and take a look. The sea is very big. If you go out by boat, half an hour later, except for the sky above, all you will see is the sea.
There are also a lot of fish. A group of fish may number more than a million. It’s scary. Some fish are very big. I’ve seen some weighing over a thousand kilograms. The whale I saw that time didn’t know how many kilograms it was.” Plush gave the harvest of this little time to him.
He shared.
When Mao Liang heard that there were so many millions, he was immediately shocked. Did he think it was an exaggeration?
Usually, they only have a hundred or dozens of domestic fish in one fish pond. How many times is this?
He was not very good at mathematics, and his verbal calculations were even worse. After a long period of silent calculations in his mind, he felt messy.
"What? I don't believe it! If you are willing, I will go back this time and take you to see it." Plush came back this time just to recruit some people he trusts to help him. There are too many people in their army now.
I need some reliable people to help me control it.
Seeing what Plush said so boldly and cheerfully, Mao Liang immediately followed the pole and said, "Okay! This is what you said, big brother. When I was in the city, I bought some seafood to give away, but it was very expensive."
"Seafood isn't all that expensive." Plush said with a smile.
"I know this. In order not to buy fakes, I studied online for two days. Brother, you said you would take me out this time." Mao Liang said with a smile.
"Haha! What I said is useless! First of all, you have to ask your uncle and the others. In addition, you are prepared to endure hardship, otherwise I will not take you out." Plush said with a smile.
"You have to help me find a job outside. As long as you find a job, what's the point of suffering a little loss?" Is there any part-time job without hardship? Mao Liang has been prepared for this.
"Don't worry about your work, I will arrange it for you, Liangzi. I remember that you were willing to be a soldier when you were a child. Are you still willing now?" Plush asked unintentionally.
"I'm already in my twenties, so I don't want to be a soldier. Even if I want to, if I don't give gifts or go through the back door, I won't want to be a soldier." Mao Liang said a little helplessly.
People in big cities are unwilling to become soldiers, but children in rural areas can't even do so even if they want to. This is the gap. Otherwise, plush hair would not be so envious of the villagers if it had taken root in the city.
"As long as you are willing, I will naturally arrange it for you. You don't have to worry about this." Plush Hair looked hopeful and became more enthusiastic.
"Can't I do it with you, eldest brother? If so, my father will definitely have no objection. Some time ago, he told his second uncle that he would ask eldest brother to take care of me at some point." Mao Liang said.
"It's okay to work with me, but it requires you to be capable. As long as you can endure hardship, I can help you arrange it, but you have to be mentally prepared." Plush said with a smile, but that smile was in the darkness.
, no matter how weird it looks, Mao Liang can't see it.
"I'm sure I can do it. Although I haven't been a soldier, I did receive military training when I was in school. If you give me some advice, I won't embarrass you." Mao Liang thought that Plush was working as a security guard, so he said
He was very confident, so he ignored Plush's evil smile. It was not easy to serve as a soldier under him, but he couldn't say this now without scaring the boy.
Knowing that Mao Liang had misunderstood, Mao Rong didn't explain. There was also a security team in their city. Mao Liang must have watched their training, but the security guards' wages in their city were too low, so Mao Liang thought about going to a big city like Magic City.
, I think working as a security guard there will definitely make more money than working in front of your home.
While talking, the two of them had arrived at a low mud house, with yellow-orange lights coming from inside. A sparse figure extended to the door, and a familiar voice was heard, making Plush a little excited.
Before Mao Liang entered the door, he shouted loudly: "Second uncle, second aunt, eldest brother is back home, come out to pick up the guests!"
Plush immediately laughed and scolded: "This is my own home, why are you accepting guests?"
There was something in his mind that he had not said out loud: This reception sounded weird and weird, similar to those who visited brothels in the past.
People inside the house heard the shouting and ran out one by one. The light at the door was still turned on. In addition to the parents, the second brother, his wife, and two children.
"The uncle is back." The two children were very happy. They called their father's brother uncle.
Because Mao Rong was a soldier, he didn't get married earlier than his brother. After retiring, he went to work in Shanghai to make money, so his brother got married earlier than him.
In rural areas, it is early to get married and have children. Now Mao Rong is not married yet, and all his second brother's children are already married.
Plush is also familiar with the two children, because he goes home once a year during the Chinese New Year, and every time he comes back, he gives them both delicious food and pocket money, so the two little guys remember him.
"Haha! The eldest brother finally came home, much earlier than before." Mao Xin, the stuffed second brother, laughed.
In the past, it would take close to three days to come back by train, including transfers.
"It must be early. We are flying back this time. The boss bought us tickets. We went to see a friend on the way and stayed overnight. Otherwise, we might have gone home yesterday, Mom! This thing is a bit heavy, I can just carry it..."
Plush said hello one by one, and pinched the little faces of his nephew and niece, saying that he had bought their favorite jelly, biscuits, etc.
His sister-in-law immediately went into the kitchen and cooked some noodles for Plush to have a meal.
Unlike other places in Shanghai, they mainly eat steamed buns, dumplings, noodles and the like.
Watching their son take out the gifts he bought for everyone one by one, his parents were very pleased, but also complained a little: Why did he buy so many things? What a waste of money.
When the two little guys got the toys and snacks, they each stopped playing with their own things.
"Why buy them such expensive things? They will be spoiled by their parents and you." The stuffed brother Mao Xin said helplessly. (To be continued...)
