Movie: Get Alpha Dog at the start

Chapter 1145: Those who are close to Zhu are red
In addition to He Jiawen, He Jiali and Zhang Qiufang were also asked by Qin Hao to help. After all, a child taking out more than a dozen toothpaste tubes was too eye-catching. It would be less likely to arouse suspicion if they dispersed and dealt with them one by one.

He Jiali and Zhang Qiufang were relatively calm and returned quickly after completing their mission. When they came to He Jiawen, he was so nervous that he was speechless when asked casually by the staff of the scrap collection station.

Fortunately, no one paid attention to her. When they saw her holding the toothpaste tube, they asked if she was there to sell waste.

"Yeah." He Jiawen nodded nervously.

"Here, three cents each. The girl is quite smart. She knows that we charge one cent more than door-to-door."

18 toothpaste tubes were sold for 5 cents, and Qin Hao bought five kilograms of rice and wheat at one time. It was still a no-cost business, as he picked them from the fields.

Three days later, a big pot of freshly baked malt sugar was ready, which made He Jiali and the other two very greedy.

"Three per person, and the rest have to be exchanged for toothpaste tubes."

He Jiali took out a piece of brown paper and carefully wrapped it up, then warned her second sister He Jiawen: "Don't be silly and let mom see it again this time, or you will snatch it away again."

"Okay, I'll keep it safe." After the last lesson, He Jiawen became more careful.

Zhang Qiufang took out the jar from last time and filled it up. He Jiali took a look and saw that there were still six or seven pieces in the jar, but they had not been eaten at all.

He Jiali's gluttony, which had been aroused by the malt sugar, was suppressed by her and she didn't eat a single one.

After returning home, He Jiali carefully hid the brown paper wrapped around the maltose in a small box on top of the closet.

He Jiawen was not that tall, so he could only hide in a drawer of the closet.

Just as I finished hiding, I heard Liu Meixin's voice coming from the inner room.

"Jia Li and Jia Wen, come here for a moment."

The two sisters entered the house. Liu Meixin pretended to care about their studies, and then asked, "Is the Qin family next door making maltose again?"

He Jiawen's eyes widened: "Mom, did you finish eating such a big jar of maltose?"

Liu Meixin looked a little embarrassed: "No, I haven't finished eating yet, I just asked casually."

He Jiali took the lead and said, "Mom, we don't have any toothpaste tubes to exchange this time. They didn't give us any."

"Not even a single cent?" Liu Meixin still felt unwilling to give up.

"Not a single piece." He Jiali and He Jiawen looked at each other and shook their heads.

Liu Meixin complained in a low voice: "You were so generous last time, why are you so stingy this time?"

He Jiali rolled her eyes and said, "Maybe I'm going to save it for toothpaste tubes."

Liu Meixin could only wave her hands in a lack of interest: "Okay, you guys go out, I have to feed the third child."

He Jiali and He Jiawen turned around and smiled with relief, and this scene happened to be seen by He's grandmother.

"Jia Li, come to the kitchen and help me."

"Oh."

In the kitchen, Grandma He said earnestly: "Your mother just gave birth to a baby and needs to supplement nutrition. Don't blame her."

"I don't blame her, but she ate all the delicious food in the house by herself, and she even fought for a few pieces of maltose..." He Jiali said unconvinced.

Grandma He sighed and shook her head: "Well, you don't have classes tomorrow, come with me to pick wild vegetables."

"Oh."

Early the next morning, He Jiali followed He's grandmother to the woods to dig wild vegetables. After returning home, she washed them, mixed them with some flour, and fried them in a frying pan to make pancakes. This finally stopped Liu Meixin's complaints for a while, but the little lard left in the house was almost used up.

"The lard at home is almost gone." Grandma He said helplessly to her son.

He Changsheng frowned when he heard this: "It's still half a month before the oil coupons are issued. This amount of oil won't last until then."

"If it doesn't work, just don't add oil. The dish will be fine if it's just boiled."

He Changsheng shook his head: "We are fine, but Mei Xin needs to be fed. If she doesn't have any food in her stomach, she will be hungry soon."

"Okay, I'll figure it out."

At night, He Changsheng took out a fur coat from the bottom of the box, and as soon as he went out, he met Qin Hongqi.

"What are you doing so late, Lao He?"

He Changsheng rubbed his hands in embarrassment and said, "The oil at home is almost gone, so I plan to take this fur coat to Boss Zhu to see if he can find a way to get some oil coupons."

"Hey, it's just oil coupons. Why didn't you tell me earlier? I still have two kilograms of oil coupons at home. I'll give them to you first." Qin Hongqi patted his chest.

He Changsheng waved his hands quickly after hearing this: "That won't work..."

"Okay, we're friends, and it's not like we won't pay it back."

"It's probably going to be difficult for you to return it to me. To be honest, there are six people in our family now, including my mother... How about this, you take this jacket, and I won't return the fuel coupons." He Changsheng said with a wry smile.

Qin Hongqi refused to accept it, but He Changsheng insisted on giving it to him. The two of them pushed each other and if you didn't know better, you would think they were fighting.

"Dad, Uncle He, what are you two doing?"

"It's okay. I was just joking with your dad."

He Changsheng took advantage of Qin Hongqi's inattention and stuffed the fur coat into Qin Hao's hand, then ran back home as if escaping.

Qin Hongqi shook his head helplessly and said to Qin Hao, "Haozi, I'll send the oil coupons to your uncle He's house later."

After saying that, he added: "Get some more maltose."

"Oh."

Qin Hao touched the fur coat and found it was indeed made of good material. Such a fur coat would cost at least several dozen yuan in a state-owned store. He Changsheng exchanged it just for some oil coupons, which showed that his family was really at the end of their rope.

Taking the food coupons and eight pieces of maltose, Qin Hao knocked on the door of the He family.

"Qin Hao, why are you here?" He Jiawen asked sweetly.

Qin Hao shouted inside: "Uncle He, my dad asked me to bring you the gas coupons."

"come in."

Qin Hao placed the food coupons and the maltose wrapped in brown paper on the dining table in the living room. He Changsheng rubbed the top of Qin Hao's head with a smile and said, "Go back and tell your dad that Uncle He will remember his favor."

"Uncle He, my dad said that whenever you need the fur coat, you can come to our house and get it. We are one family and we should keep our differences."

Seeing Qin Hao's little manly appearance, He Changsheng was envious: "Boys are better."

This really irritated He Jiali: "What's so great about that? If he can do it, I can do it too."

He Changsheng glared at He Jiali and said, "Look at how capable you are. Haozi can make maltose, can you?"

He Jiali was speechless: "I can learn it."

"Nonsense, why should I teach you the skills I have learned with great difficulty?"

"Humph, I can learn it even without being taught."

Seeing this, Qin Hao greeted He Changsheng and quickly left the scene of the accident.

After he left, He Changsheng opened the brown paper bag, took out two pieces of malt sugar from it, and gave one to He Jiali and one to He Jiawen.

"Eat quietly, don't let your mother hear."

After saying that, he took the remaining maltose and went into the inner room.

"Sister, what's wrong with you? Are you not happy to eat maltose?" He Jiawen had maltose in her mouth and her words were a little unclear.

He Jiali glared at her and said, "Eat, you only know how to eat."

He Jiawen's mouth pursed, and he was about to cry. While comforting Jiawen, He's grandmother said to He Jiali, "Jiali, grandma knows that you are proud, but your father didn't mean it. Many people laughed at him outside, and he was also angry inside."

He Jiali's eyes were red. "Grandma, I just don't understand why girls can't compare to boys? Didn't the teacher say: Women hold up half the sky?"

"That's true, but there are some things we can't change." Grandma He sighed helplessly.

"I will let my dad know that girls are no worse than boys. I can do anything that boys can do." He Jiali said gritting her teeth.

Grandma He understood her granddaughter's personality and knew that she couldn't persuade her, so she could only let her go.

As a result, early the next morning, He Jiali found Qin Hao and said, "I want to learn how to make maltose from you."

"I didn't tell you guys off when I was doing this. If you want to learn, just go ahead and learn." Qin Hao said nonchalantly.

He Jiali asked doubtfully, "Aren't you afraid that I will learn it and take away your job?"

"Maltose is just a hard-earned income, and it's too slow."

"You mean there's a faster way to make money?"

"Of course, but not yet."

"why?"

"Speculation and profiteering will lead to jail time."

He Jiali: ...

From then on, every time Qin Hao made malt sugar, He Jiali watched him very carefully. Qin Hao was also happy to have an extra helper, so he delegated some things to He Jiali.

As a result, when it came time to make it, He Jiali discovered that making malt sugar was not as simple as it seemed. Every step had to be very particular and many of them were very laborious, such as filtering and pulling the sugar. She used all her strength but still couldn't do it well.

"Are girls really inferior to boys?"

He Jiali suddenly doubted her persistence. After all, Qin Hao was four years younger than her, but he did all these things effortlessly.

"You don't have to compare with me. I have been much stronger than others since I was a child."

He Jiali didn't listen to Qin Hao's comfort at all. In her opinion, if she wanted to prove that girls were no weaker than boys, she had to be stronger than all boys, so that she could gain recognition from adults.

"I will build up my strength."

Qin Hao looked at He Jiali's thin back and shook his head: Even if you train yourself to become a strong Barbie doll, you can never catch up with my strength.

Time flies, and three years have passed in a flash. He Jiali is already in junior high school, and Qin Hao and He Jiawen are already in the fifth grade.

During these three years, Qin Hao has saved up a start-up capital of 36 yuan using maltose.

At one point, many families with children in Tianjia'an found that the toothpaste at home was consumed much faster than before. Soon they found the clue: their sons squeezed toothpaste more often than before.

After a good beating, I realized that he wanted to exchange the toothpaste tube for maltose.

Without exception, Qin Hao was reported, but when the market inspection team came and saw that the person being reported was a child of eight or nine years old, they were also stunned.

After some investigation, it was found that the malt sugar was not sold but was exchanged for toothpaste tubes, which could not be considered as speculation.

In the end, I could only advise Qin Hao not to do this again.

Qin Hao simply stopped accepting toothpaste tubes and instead traded old books and bottles for malt sugar. As a result, not only did his business improve, but he also received a lot of ancient books. Although they were not valuable, they still had certain collection value if kept for a while.

Early on Sunday morning, Qin Hao had just finished washing up when he heard someone knocking on the door. He opened the door and saw He Jiali holding a fishing rod: "Do you want to go fishing?"

"Walk."

Before, Qin Hao would occasionally go fishing secretly by the river to improve his life. After being discovered by He Jiali, the girl insisted on going with him. It turned out that she had some talent for fishing and it was rare for her to miss the target. From then on, whenever she wanted to have a snack, she would go fishing in the river.

"Qin Hao, sister, I want to go too."

He Jiawen followed happily.

As the group of three walked out of Tianjia'an Market, Qin Hao realized that he was being followed. Turning back, he saw a sneaky child following him.

"Tang Weimin, why have you been following us?"

Tang Weimin stood up awkwardly from the weeds where he was hiding: "I want to go fishing with you guys."

"How can you fish when you don't even have a fishing rod?" He Jiali said with disdain.

"I have a landing net at home, I can help you fish."

Qin Hao said unhappily, "We don't need to use a landing net to catch soft-shelled turtles. You should go back."

Tang Weimin was determined to follow: "If you don't let me go, I will report you."

He Jiali got anxious when she heard this: "If you dare, be careful or I'll beat you up."

Tang Weimin still remembered the beating he received three years ago and he subconsciously shrank his neck.

"If you dare to hit me, I will tell your dad."

"Why are you still trying to blackmail people for lard?"

When she heard about lard, He Jiali flew into a rage: "Get lost, if you follow me again I will really beat you up."

Tang Weimin said aggrievedly: "No, I'm helping you for free, all the fish you catch are yours."

He Jiali felt a little soft-hearted and couldn't make up her mind for a moment.

"Get lost, report us if you can, I won't be polite if you follow me again."

Qin Hao was not going to tolerate him. When he was a teenager, Tang Weimin's mouth was like a pair of torn cotton pants, with leaks everywhere.

Tang Weimin had no choice but to leave feeling aggrieved. Seeing this, He Jiawen couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic: "He looks so pitiful."

He Jiali glared at her sister and said, "What's so pitiful about this? There are no good people in the Old Tang family. Didn't you see how Old Tang treated our dad? It's lucky that he didn't beat him up."

The three of them came to the river and they were really lucky today. They caught two soft-shelled turtles and three crucian carps weighing about one kilogram.

As for the other small fish, Qin Hao put them back, which made He Jiali complain about him being a spendthrift.

As a result, on the way back, she met Tang Weimin again, and He Jiali stared at him warily.

Tang Weimin quickly spread his hands and said, "I didn't report you. I've been waiting for you to come back."

"Anyway, we didn't catch anything, so we're not afraid of you reporting us."

Qin Hao smiled secretly, He Jiali has also learned to play tricks.

"Why are you still following us?"

"Can I join you later?"

"No, you're not reliable." He Jiali refused rudely.

Tang Weimin felt very aggrieved: "Why are you still holding a grudge? It was such a long time ago."

"Anyway, your dad is not a good person. He always bullies my dad. Don't come near us anymore. It makes me upset."

"you……"

Qin Hao was surprised at He Jiali's current fighting ability, and actually scolded Tang Weimin to tears.
