reborn nature

At the end of the 80s, Huaguo proposed to strengthen the production and safety of fireworks and firecrackers. Nearly 90 cities across the country enacted laws and regulations that completely banned fireworks and firecrackers. In the 2000s, major cities banned fireworks and firecrackers. Until 100, calls for restoration of folk traditions grew. Strongly, more than [-] cities have only begun to lift the ban on fireworks and firecrackers in a limited manner.

And this year, it was the first year that the province promulgated a law that completely banned fireworks and firecrackers. Suddenly, a large number of fireworks and firecrackers in wholesale shopping malls were unsalable, causing merchants to sell goods below the cost price. The purchase price of fireworks and firecrackers was so cheap that it was incredible degree.At the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, when the government promulgated this regulation, the hawkers and wholesalers who had already bought goods complained a lot, and ordinary people also felt that it did not feel like Chinese New Year.However, fireworks and firecrackers are indeed very harmful to the environment and safety. If they are banned, they will be banned, and there is no point in complaining.

An Chengze doesn’t have a TV at home, only a small shop next to him. He stays at the small shop every night when the local news is broadcast. Generally, the children in the shantytowns squatting at the small shop during cartoons. The shop owner The old man would also be very considerate to let them watch TV, but no children came during the news hour. An Chengze squatted every day, which surprised the old man. Isn't this child too enlightened?

After finally waiting for the news, he casually talked about it after Liu Ru came back that night. Most boys liked to set off firecrackers when they were young. Liu Ru thought he was disappointed, so she patted him on the head and said, "It's okay, wait a minute." When you go to grandma’s house in the next year, you can let it go as much as you want, but now only in the city is the ban on setting off firecrackers, and there are no regulations in the countryside.”

An Chengze nodded obediently, and planted a seed in Liu Ru's heart.

On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, An Chengze walked around the street. There were no fireworks and firecrackers in the market, only couplets and yellow paper. When asked about fireworks, the peddler said with a bitter face that he would not sell them. It can't be sold.An Chengze went to the wholesale market to inquire again, and the price was already twice as low as ten days ago. Even so, few people bought it. The merchants only wanted to get rid of the goods quickly, without paying any compensation.

After returning home, Liu Ru was not at home, An Chengze sighed secretly, no matter what, he and Shi Yi were still too young, and no one would be convinced if they wanted to do business, buying fireworks at a low price and then going to the fairs in various villages Selling it in the market is the best opportunity to make money right now, even if there is no Liu Ru, he can find a way to find someone else to help.It's just that this incident opened up a new path for Liu Ru to start her own business, and it would be meaningless if she didn't participate.But he is a child, how can he persuade Liu Ru to go to sea?

If it were him in his previous life, after hearing this news, he would immediately think of the price reduction of fireworks and sales in the countryside. Liu Ru knows everything, so why doesn't his mind go in this direction?

Every year, people in rural areas start to buy fireworks and firecrackers after the Lunar New Year is over. In cities, most of the fireworks and firecrackers in the major wholesale markets have been sold out at this time, but there are many small vendors on the street.According to An Chengze's calculation, the price of fireworks and firecrackers will reach a low point in the middle of the twelfth lunar month, and it is most cost-effective to buy in large quantities at this time.And after the [-]th day, people who go to the country market to sell goods will come to buy goods, which will cause the price of fireworks in the wholesale market to rise for a period of time. In the past few days, we must find a way to persuade Liu Ru.

But he is only a child now, so he can only remind Liu Ru insincerely, he can't tell Liu Ru that he can make money in this way, it will make his mother who has known him since childhood suspicious.But Liu Ru herself couldn't think of that aspect no matter what, even if she thought about it, she wouldn't dare to do it without the capital...

An Chengze squinted his eyes and pondered, maybe there was only one way to persuade Liu Ru, but he really didn't want to use this way.

On the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month, the price of fireworks on the market was even lower. According to An Chengze's estimation, it was already close to the cost price, and it took two or three days to buy them.At this time, Liu Ru had only one reaction to An Chengze's various insinuations - when I go to grandma's house after the Chinese New Year, I will let you have enough!

No way, only as a last resort.Considering that the "investor" of this event is Shi Yi, An Chengze decided to pull him in unceremoniously, so he can just roll the wool.

On the night of the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month, Shi Yi was invited to An Chengze's house for dinner. It was said that something delicious would be prepared, so he ran over with his passbook grabbing some food.Unexpectedly, when we arrived at An's house, it was still as cold as it was a few days ago. The child's body temperature was high, and Shi Yi was a hot-blooded child, and he couldn't bear it at this time. The temperature must be below zero.

"Why don't you light a fire, don't you want to cook? You don't even turn on the lights at this late hour." He asked with some dissatisfaction, after all, An Chengze invited him here.But seeing An Chengze's family with such a desolate appearance, Shi Yi felt a little soft-hearted. When was the last time he felt sour and uncomfortable?It seems like it never happened.

"Save electricity, save coal." An Chengze looked out the window and spoke a little loudly, "Don't tell my mother, these days I have to light the fire before she comes back, and when she comes back the house will be It's so hot, I can't find it at all."

Liu Ru, who was about to open the door when she walked to the door, put her hand on the doorknob.

"Why, why?" Shi Yi was a little dumbfounded. Shouldn't his parents know about the lack of coal and electricity at home and then quickly find a solution?At least every time he ran out of food, he would call Shi Lei.

"I don't want her to worry," An Chengze smiled wryly, "She's been hiding it all the time, but I know that since she's laid off, it's not easy to make money."

Shi Yi's heart became even more sour, and he felt a little blocked: "That, that, I have money, I can lend it to you."

"You have to pay back everything you borrow, and I can't always bother you." An Chengze sighed and said, "If only I were older, I could help my mother with things, and I can use my vacation time to work and study. I still remember three Is it Wang Er from the class? He helped Dad collect scraps during the holidays and sold them for a lot of money."

"Oh, tens of dollars." Shi Yi also knew about this, but he didn't take it seriously at all, and he didn't think dozens of dollars was a lot.He didn't understand. Didn't An Chengze say he wanted to borrow 2000 yuan before, why did he say no now?

He opened his mouth to ask about this matter, but An Chengze saw his intention and quickly said, "By the way, we can't set off firecrackers this year, do you know that?"

After all, Shi Yi was a child, so his attention was quickly diverted, and he immediately said furiously, "Don't mention this, you will get angry if you mention it! I bought a lot of firecrackers early in the morning and piled them up at home, waiting for the New Year and The big guys let it go together, who knew that the firecrackers were not allowed suddenly, and my dad took away all the inventory at home, and I don’t know where to throw it..."

He lowered his head in frustration, his cropped hair was a little fluffy, which made An Chengze suddenly want to touch it.Such a good "caretaker" really needs to be praised.

"After the Chinese New Year, come with me to grandma's house," An Chengze said. "My mother said that the countryside can't help it, and grandma's house can set off firecrackers as much as you want. I went to the market two days ago and saw that firecrackers are cheap, so cheap , This year the countryside may buy more than before. I heard from an uncle in the market that although the city does not sell well, but the countryside does not care about this, and the sales are still the same as in previous years. This year, the purchase is cheap, and he is quite happy , Said he could make a fortune and live a good year.”

"Really!" Shi Yi's eyes lit up, "Then go to the street with me in a couple of days to buy some, and after the Chinese New Year, I'll go with you to set off firecrackers. Anyway, my dad left in the second year of junior high school, and he only stays at home for two days during the Chinese New Year. "

"You said..." An Chengze's voice became a little hesitant, "You said if I buy some firecrackers in the market and sell them in the country market, will it help my mother earn some money?"

Shi Yi felt that he couldn't keep up with An Chengze's thoughts, but after thinking about it for a while, he remembered the 2000 yuan that was almost in An Chengze's pocket, and said immediately: "Okay, I'll borrow it if I don't have any money." You, I will lend you two thousand! If you make money, it’s yours, if you lose it, it’s mine!”

An Chengze smiled even more happily, and stepped forward to put his arms around Shi Yi's shoulders: "Brother, if you make money, I will definitely treat you to a big meal!"

Shi Yi almost jumped up when he was called "Brother", and said at the time: "Okay, I will withdraw the money tomorrow, we will go to the street to buy firecrackers, and hire a car to go to the market!"

"Okay!" An Chengze and Shi Yi clapped their hands and glanced out the window at the same time.

Sure enough, Liu Ru couldn't bear it anymore, pushed open the door and entered the room and said, "Both of you, be honest!"
