80s development history

Chapter 22 Ambition

Although I heard Zhenghao mentioned the experience of taking his father to set up a stall when he was young, Jiang Xuanzong was still a little dazed when he saw this small pine and cypress appearing in the crowd of middle-aged uncles and aunts for the first time.

A 13-year-old child is late in development, and he just suffered a serious illness during this period. He is so thin that he can be blown away by the wind. When his slender arms pick up the scale, his white and thin wrists seem to be Breaking off, Jiang Xuanzong frowned inexplicably.

I don't agree with Xin's couple's behavior of letting a child out to do business.

Then I looked at the cousin who was clamoring to sell lobsters instead of the boy. He was tall and tall, with strong limbs and bulging cheeks on both sides. That is to say, there was a one-year age difference, but there was a huge difference in body shape.

"Just let me play for a while, why can't I be so fat, Dongzi, are you still my brother?"

"Dahe is just selling and collecting money for me. If you want to do his work, I will let you play, but you insist on the steelyard in my hand, and you don't know how to use a steelyard, and you can't weigh customers. It's business, not your housekeeping."

Tong Zhenghao's nonsense made Xin Andong angry, especially since he had been asking Jiang Xuanzong for help for so long, and this person turned a blind eye, the anger in his heart was even greater.

When Xin Andong said this, he unconsciously glanced at Jiang Xuanzong, and there was a hint of resentment in his clear eyes.

Is he being angered?Jiang Xuanzong was amused.As an elder, he naturally can't argue with a child, and he is Tong Zhenghao's cousin, so he does have the obligation to discipline his cousin.

Jiang Xuanzong glanced lightly at Tong Zhenghao who was full of displeasure, and said, "Grandpa is still waiting for us to have lunch at home, next time when you can learn to use the steelyard to help An Dong do business, now, come back with me."

"What time is it now? It's not time for lunch yet. Cousin, if you are in a hurry, go back first, and I will help Dongzi with business." Tong Zhenghao was very interested in the steelyard, so he was naturally unwilling to leave.

Jiang Dahe was annoyed that Tong Zhenghao robbed him of his job, and with Jiang Xuanzong's support, he was not afraid of Tong Zhenghao's revenge, so he boldly said, "I can help Dongzi, I don't need you."

"Try to say it again, believe it or not, I'll whip you when you go back to school?"

The majesty was provoked, Tong Zhenghao squinted his eyes and held up the football to wave at Jiang Dahe. Jiang Dahe, who had just aroused a little courage, immediately lowered his head to his chest and stopped talking.

Jiang Xuanzong looked down on his bullying appearance, and said coldly, "Tong Zhenghao, what about your upbringing?"

Tong Zhenghao was extremely impatient, "Oh, I know, cousin, just let me play for a while, besides, you are in such a hurry to go back, don't you just want to see sister Xiaoyou? Don't need a blind date, you're in a hurry to go back."

After being stunned for a moment, he finally heard the meaning of his words, Jiang Xuanzong's face turned dark, "Tong Zhenghao, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Tong Zhenghao dribbled the football on the ground twice, and raised his head disdainfully, "Cut! I overheard her call to grandpa to visit yesterday, and you still want to hide it from me, but I won't stop you from finding me a cousin." , why are you trying to hide it?"

Thinking of how his grandfather used to look at him teasingly yesterday, Jiang Xuanzong stopped talking, and his brows formed a pimple.

If it wasn't for Zhenghao's slip of the tongue, he might still be kept in the dark.Jiang Xuanzong didn't know He Xiaoyou well, but he accidentally rescued He Xiaoyou who was being targeted by some gangsters in college. He didn't take this matter to heart, but He Xiaoyou didn't think so, and he chased after him ever since. I will repay you later.

The relationship between them is actually not as ambiguous as outsiders think. He Xiaoyou is probably because he saved her, and sometimes he is very friendly to Jiang Xuanzong. It is only accidental that she came to Qingshui County to work, but she did not expect to be misunderstood by her grandfather. .

Tong Zhenghao was taken away by Jiang Xuanzong in the end. Jiang Dahe pushed Xin Andong, who was a little stupefied, "Dongzi, why are you so surprised? Did you hear that someone wants three catties of crayfish? It's like losing your soul."

"Oh, I'm sorry," Xin Andong came back to his senses, his complexion was a little bad, and he forced a smile to deal with the customer in front of him, "Three catties is the spicy crayfish, right? Well, here you are, three yuan, and I'll come again next time .”

Putting down the steelyard, he rubbed his sore back, rubbed it, and lost his mind again.The conversation between him and Tong Zhenghao just now was heard by Xin Andong verbatim, the sour taste was like unmade wine, and the strong smell of vinegar almost suffocated Xin Andong himself.Of course he likes Jiang Xuanzong, that person's appearance and demeanor hit his heart in every way.To put it bluntly, if he could be born ten years earlier, even in this age, even if he chased backwards, Xin Andong would still take Jiang Xuanzong down.

Meeting the right person at the wrong time is a kind of helplessness.

Although this sentence is hypocritical, it has to be said that it is very appropriate.The time is wrong, everything is lost.The harshness of the times and the age gap gave Xin Andong a sense of powerlessness.He wanted to fight, but he was powerless.Just like he watched Jiang Xuanzong leave just now, maybe he is about to find his other half, get married and have children soon, but he can only watch helplessly.

You can't stop him directly and tell him that I like you, don't you want to find someone else?Having said that, Jiang Xuanzong would probably not only treat him as a lunatic, but also his family members would treat him as a different kind.But if you want him to give up directly, his heart is obviously touched and he is not willing to give up.

Just thinking about it like this makes his brain ache. It's like a problem with no solution. When he was Xiaodouding, before he led his family to become rich, this kind of spiritual pursuit was very important to him. Can only be hopeless.

The crayfish of the Xin family are not worried about selling. Under the envious and jealous eyes of all the stall owners, Xin Andong moved the bare-bottomed bucket and basin onto Second Uncle Jiang's ox cart, gave him the commission that he had promised to Dahe, and made a deal with him. Second Uncle Jiang said hello and asked him to help put the things at his house for grandma to pick them up, so he walked towards the county hospital.

Passing by a pork shop, Xin Andong bought two pig's knuckles and some pork belly. Thinking about whether his parents had eaten lunch at the moment, he went into a restaurant and bought two vegetables, fried pork slices with garlic sprouts There is crucian carp tofu soup, crucian carp soup to replenish the body of grandpa, and then I asked for five bowls of rice to take away.

When I arrived at the ward, I ran into my mother who was going to the hospital cafeteria for dinner.Now that she was carrying two hard dishes, Xin Wenfang didn't want to spend any more money, so she helped her grandfather who had woken up looking dispirited, and the family of five prepared to eat.

Xin Andong stopped his mother to let her rest for a while, and he took the initiative to feed grandpa.

The whole family was a little hungry, and there was only the sound of bowls and chopsticks colliding when eating. At this time, Grandpa Xin swallowed the food in his mouth, was silent for a while, and said, "How is your mother at home? Since I am in this body, since the doctor said It's all right, let's go home after dinner, so as not to waste money."

Xin Andong disagreed, "Grandpa, you haven't recovered yet, you have to be hospitalized during this time, I will go home to accompany grandma later, you can rest assured of your illness, don't worry about other things."

Grandpa pouted and tried to talk, Xin Wenfang softened his voice to dissuade him: "Dad, just listen to your grandson. We don't want you to worry about money. If you don't worry, Mom, I'll bring her to see in the afternoon." Look at you, Mom will definitely not let you out of the hospital."

When a person is ill, he becomes particularly vulnerable, and his idle brain can't help but think about things. Looking back on most of his life, Mr. Xin only feels that he can't blame anyone for his current situation.Instead, relying on his status as father and grandfather, he treated his daughter and granddaughters too unfairly.

The second room he was guarding, no one came to visit him since he was sick, even the little nephew who was so hurt in his heart wanted to forget about him, so he didn't say to come to see him, and he didn't even ask to bring a good word greeting.

In the end, he was still his own daughter, and his grandchildren guarded his old bones.He knows that children are not easy, but how much money does he have in the family?Wen Fang asked him to stay in the hospital without saying a word. His parents were away, and the eldest grandson set up a stall to earn money by himself. The granddaughter who used to feel cold-hearted took good care of him, feeding him with water when he was thirsty, and feeding him when he was hungry.

This is his kind, who can change his clothes and pour the urinal, and can take care of him in retirement after a hundred years. It took him most of his life to finally see the reality clearly.

"Wen Jun's daughter-in-law..."

As soon as the old man opened his mouth, the previously warm atmosphere seemed to be frozen. Xin Wenfang's face was not good, and he put down the bowl and chopsticks heavily and did not speak. Xin Anqiu lowered his head, making it difficult to see his expression clearly.

Only Xin Andong saw the undisguised guilt in his grandfather's eyes. Sure enough, the old man seemed to be unable to feel the stiffness of the atmosphere, and continued, "Let's listen to the public. Since the public has convicted her, then she is guilty. You don't want to be guilty in the future." I'm worried that no matter how old and foolish I am, I've already figured out some things after I died once."

"Dad..." After hearing this sentence after so many years, Xin Wenfang covered her mouth and couldn't help but her eyes turned red.

Grandpa can figure it out thoroughly, as if he has injected new vitality into this crumbling home.Xin Andong went back to school, handed in the manuscript for the composition competition that Teacher Lan had given him before, and then asked for half a month's leave again under Teacher Lan's helpless and dissatisfied eyes.

He can't help it, the family is in a mess, his mother has to take care of his grandfather in the hospital, and the lobster business is the only source of income, so he can only bring his third sister and silly father to the stall.Eldest sister is not doing well, when she went to visit her grandfather yesterday, Xin Andong inadvertently caught sight of the bruises on her neck, and asked a few words, the always gentle elder sister always reported good news but not bad ones, Xin Andong currently wants to help elder sister but is powerless, I could only secretly give her ten yuan, and then cruelly set up a stall to do business to make money.

The Xin family's lobster business has always been good. The reason why the nearby stall owners who also sell crayfish can make money, to put it bluntly, is because the Xin family's lobsters are not enough, and the supply exceeds demand so that they make the money they missed.But ever since his parents were framed last time, his original stall was robbed, and all the stall owners ostracized Xin's family together, Xin Andong's heart was already on fire.

Playing tricks, grabbing booths, and splashing dirty water, these small conspiracies emerge in endlessly.He simply underestimated these elders and aunts. Xin Andong was laughed at, and watched coldly for two days. He asked his third sister to take his father out of the stall. Those villagers caught shrimp, and he bought them by the catty.

At the beginning, the honest farmers didn't believe that there are many lakes and rivers in Qingshui County. Fish and shrimp can be caught with nets, and no one buys them with money.In the end, Xin Andong took a lot of words to convince a farmer that he was not discouraged. After having the first family, is there any need to worry about it?

After negotiating the price, Xin Andong deliberately wrote a written contract with a pen and paper, and both parties agreed to sign it.The other party promised to deliver the lobster to Xin's house on time the next morning, and Xin Andong let out a sigh of relief.

Xin Andong's face was smeared with black ash, several layers of straw were placed under the soles of his shoes, and he was wearing his father's decent clothes. He looked like a dark-skinned young man, except that he was shorter.

But Wang Qijun was convinced by his sternness of speech, especially when Xin Andong took out the contract from his arms. Although Wang Qijun had never seen the big world by digging in the mud, he was inexplicably relieved when he saw the piece of paper in front of him, so he came to him. The literate daughter carefully read the contract several times, and felt that the terms were fair, so she agreed to sign the contract with Xin Andong.

After pressing the red mud, he realized that he had signed a contract with a young man who was not optimistic about the whole village. He didn't know what the contract was, but in ancient times, he always understood the contract. The same is true, knowing that Xin Andong can't lie to him, as long as he delivers the lobsters on time in the future, the days of earning money are still to come.

"Uncle Wang is the first partner of Xin's Restaurant. I promise here that as long as the quality of Uncle Wang's lobster is guaranteed, no matter how far Xin's Restaurant develops in the future, Uncle Wang's supply will definitely be our first choice. "Xin Andong said with a smile again, "If there are uncles in the village who are willing to sell me lobsters, please ask Uncle Wang to help lead the way. I will give Uncle Wang a certain amount of introduction fee when the time comes."

Now that Xin Andong said so, he is not afraid of being robbed of his business in the future. Although Wang Qijun is smooth, he is not a person who is greedy for petty gains. I will naturally come to you when I get the money, it’s not a big deal if I say it, how can I take your money!"

This is the reason, but for the first person who is willing to eat crabs with his Xin family, Xin Andong always has a bit of caring heart.What's more, spending money can win people's hearts, making Wang Qijun believe that Lao Xin's family is kind and will not treat him badly, and future business transactions will be smoother.

"It should be Uncle Wang, and I, Xin, have a lot of money. Uncle Wang, don't refuse." Xin Andong looked at the sky and said, "It's getting late, so I'll go back first. Tomorrow, Uncle Wang will send the lobster to the west." When you’re in Hecun, you just need to go to East and West to find Lao Xin’s family.”

Wang Qijun agreed, and then warmly invited Xin Andong to stay for dinner. Wang Qijun's wife also strongly asked Xin Andong to stay. Xin Andong was wearing his father's clothes, and his feet were covered with straw. He felt uncomfortable, so he naturally refused.

After dealing with the overly enthusiastic Wang family, he wiped off his sweat before finally being able to go home.
