A young educated youth who repays his gratitude

"Finally home."

Bai Lele jumped off the tractor, rubbing her numb buttocks, "Bao Wa, come down quickly."

He carried Baowa off the tractor and asked, "Are you hungry?"

"Hungry." Bao Wa'er patted her stomach, her eyes sparkled with desire, "I want to eat."

At this moment, the sky is already dark, the sun has disappeared into the horizon, and the last trace of bright color is about to disappear.

Bai Lele looked at his watch. It was past six o'clock, and he was also very hungry now.

"Order some noodles." Huo Changqing parked the tractor, walked over and said, "Just eat some."

"Okay." Bai Lele looked at the quiet yard, and the house was not lit, "Changping and the others are not at home."

"It's time to go out and play." Huo Changqing said, "I'll order the noodles, and you bring Baowa into the house."

As he spoke, he took the things off the tractor and carried them directly into the house, cooking immediately before he had time to rest.

"Father." Bao Wa'er followed behind Huo Changqing, pulling a few bundles of threads around his neck, "Here's the money."

"Be good, baby." Huo Changqing took off the three bundles of thread hanging around his neck, "Take this to uncle."

"Hey." Bao Wa'er ran into the east room with the thread, and handed it to Bai Lele, "Uncle, Dad told you."

Bai Lele took it, and there were ten yuan tied to each of the bundles of strings. Huo Changqing's aunts said it was the custom here.

When relatives meet the younger generation for the first time, they have to hang a thread around the child's neck, and then help them with different amounts of money on the line.

It is said to bless children with a long and safe life.

Bai Lele didn't understand, but she was happy, not because of the money, but because of this custom.

And Huo Changqing's aunts regarded Bao Wa'er as their own descendants.

"Did you take it from under your feet?" Bai Lele ran to Huo Changqing with a smile, "I forgot just now."

"I can't forget it." Huo Changqing looked interested, and smiled slightly: "It's not the first time, this is our custom here."

Wear it on your head, take it on your feet, from top to bottom, no one can get it wrong.

"Do a lot of people hang up Bao Wa'er?" Bai Lele was curious, "Isn't that a lot of money?"

"No less." Huo Changqing said, "But there is more and less."

The amount varies according to the distance of relatives and the financial situation of the family.

"I saved it all for him." Huo Changqing said, "There are also New Year's money, meeting gifts and so on."

"Changping and the others are the same. They have their own money."

"That's good." Bai Lele remembered that he was also saving the New Year's money by himself, and said with a smile: "When I grow up, it will also be a lot of money."

When going to bed at night, Huo Changqing took out a small iron box the size of a palm, and handed it to Bai Lele.

"Baowa'er's money is here." Huo Changqing said, "There are more than 200."

"More than Changping's."

Bai Lele took a look at it, and understood why there were so many Bao Wa'er, it was because Huo Changqing, the father, was capable.

Relatives and friends are naturally generous, even if Bao Wa'er is not his own son.

No one dared to underestimate it.

"A person must not only be capable." Bai Lele sighed, "He must also be rich."

Just like today's Qi Zhijun, everyone thought he was a brave and ruthless gangster, and no one dared to provoke him easily.

Who knew that his business would flourish and become Qijiawan's reliance, no one would dare not listen to him.

Even Huo Changqing himself said that even if he went out to ask for money, he might not be able to get it back easily.

Who would easily spit out the money they got?

"I want to go to the construction site." Bai Lele said suddenly, "You talk to that Qi Zhijun."

"To pull materials?" Huo Changqing frowned, "The construction site is not easy to do, it's better to save people's worry about plowing the land, it's also very tiring."

"Can you make money if you're not tired?" Bai Lele was a little annoyed, "You're also tired from farming at home, and you don't earn as much as this."

He knew that Huo Changqing didn't want to go out, and the children in the family needed him to take care of him, and he was afraid that he would have to work hard.

"Actually, doing business is also tiring." Bai Lele said, "It's just that I earn a lot, and with the support of money, I can persevere."

When it comes to doing business, he has a lot to say and thinks he has experience.

In Bai Lele's view, doing business is harder than working hard, not only physically but also mentally.

All aspects must be considered.

It's okay for him to make small troubles like him. Those who do big business must not only have a shrewd mind, but also have strong funds and connections.

It's like he's going to the construction site to pull materials, even if he doesn't earn a lot of hard work, he needs Qi Zhijun's help.

"Although the construction site is a little bit harder." Bai Lele said, "But we already have tractors, which are not idle when the farming is busy. I also use waste."

This afternoon, I heard Huo Changqing talking to Qi Zhijun, and knew that he had contracted a small project.

To repair roads in the town, although it is only the manpower of the package, it takes more than 100 people to work.

But he also bought two Dongfeng cars to pull materials for the construction site, so Bai Lele was tempted.

My own tractor just came in handy.

It was just that it was inconvenient to speak at that time, so Bai Lele held back and was afraid that Huo Changqing would object.

Without Huo Changqing's help to speak, Bai Lele couldn't find a way out, so he could only discuss it with him.

"Talk." Seeing Huo Changqing pretending to be asleep, Bai Lele stretched out his arms over Bao Wa'er and pinched him, "Are you going to talk or not?"

"It's okay to say it." Huo Changqing said helplessly, "But can you bear that hardship?"

"Yes." Bai Lele said without hesitation: "As long as I can make money, I can suffer any hardship."

"Why do you earn so much?" Huo Changqing frowned, "Isn't the money in your hand not enough?"

"I just like making money." Bai Lele said, "I'm afraid of being poor, can't I?"

When he went to the countryside, only 50 yuan was taken away, and he was so uneasy at that time.

Only he knows.

"When I first went to the countryside." Bai Lele felt uncomfortable thinking about it, and said in a low tone, "If I hadn't met you, I wouldn't have known what would have happened!"

"If you don't have money, you don't have guts."

He got up suddenly, crawled to Huo Changqing's side from the bottom of his feet, and took his arm to pillow under his head.

Say shamelessly: "Anyway, I have to make money."

"Go." Huo Changqing turned sideways and held him in his arms, "Come back if you can't hold on, it's no big deal."

At this moment, he felt that Bai Lele was very insecure, and Huo Changqing thought that maybe Bai Zhijun and his wife had hurt him too much.

Let Bai Lele never forget it.

He is always afraid that he will have nothing again, and all he thinks about every day is making money, only in this way can he feel at ease.

……

A few days later, just after dawn, Bai Lele got up.

It was not yet five o'clock.

Huo Changqing wanted to get up, but he pushed him back, "You sleep on your own, don't worry about me."

After he finished speaking, he went out to fetch water to wash up. When he turned his head, Huo Changqing had already put on his clothes and tiptoed out.

"I'll boil some eggs for you to take with you." Huo Changqing whispered, "It's cold in the morning, don't be empty."

"Hey!" Bai Lele raised the corners of his mouth, smiling brightly, "Listen to you."

Huo Changqing's thoughtfulness is very useful to him, no one would not want someone to hurt him.

"Don't worry about me." Bai Lele thought for a while, then raised her arms behind Huo Changqing and hugged him, "You are needed at home and outside, and there is nothing you can do if you can't get out."

"And I can't do these things well, and I still have to rely on you. I will do what I can, and we will divide the work separately, and we will get better and better in the future."

There are many things at home, feeding chickens and pigs, washing and cooking, and working in the fields.

Bai Lele can do some simple things, but he can't do some things, especially farming, which he himself still doesn't know much about.

If he and Huo Changqing exchanged positions, it would take Bai Lele a long time to learn this, but Huo Changqing could easily learn it.

"Yeah." Huo Changqing calmly agreed, but still asked uneasy: "Come back if you're not used to it, don't force it."

"I don't rely on you to earn that little money to eat."

"Understood." Bai Lele withdrew her hand and said with a smile, "I can rely on you to eat, so what should I worry about?"

"I'm saving money for us in the future."

He patted his badge and said to Huo Changqing: "Earn out our pension money, even if we can't move anymore, we will still have money to eat."

What he said, Huo Changqing's heart softened, and he stretched out his arms to hug Bai Lele.

The two are destined for a lifetime, and the three they are raising now don't want their children to retire.

Bai Lele was feeling uneasy, Huo Changqing was moved and helpless to plan for their future.

Why should Bai Lele be so troublesome?

"I see." Huo Changqing said, "You go, I support you."

"Yeah." Bai Lele rubbed against his arms, this warm embrace really didn't want to leave, "I have to go."

Bai Lele left in good spirits, driving the tractor with her back straight as if on a battlefield.

……

When he got to the battlefield, he was suddenly dumbfounded, only to see the long line with no end in sight.

All kinds of vehicles lined up in a long queue, all waiting at the gate of the battlefield, and the battlefield is not yet on duty at the moment.

Bai Lele: He obviously got up early and came to line up, hoping to pull more cars today and earn more money.

He had no choice but to line up obediently and stop the tractor behind various vehicles.

Bai Lele looked up at the sky, the sun had just exposed half of its head, and there was still a lot of time before the sky brightened.

just wait!

When it is discharged, the sand can be pulled up, and the money for a truckload of materials can only be earned when it is sent to the construction site.

In the morning of early May, it was still a bit cold, so Bai Lele took out a thermos and took a sip.

Inside was the milk powder that Huo Changqing made for him.

The hot and sweet milk powder can satisfy your hunger with a sip of hot, just a few eggs.

Bai Lele was soon full.

"Hic." He burped, which drew good-natured laughter from those who lined up.

"Yo! It's quite enjoyable early in the morning, isn't it?"

"Yeah, we are all hungry, but others are full of belches."

"The water we drink is cold, the same person has different fate!"

"You guys bring a thermos." Bai Lele smiled shyly, and held up the thermos to show them, "Put it in hot water, it won't be cold all day long."

"Hey! That's a nice thing, I'll have to see it."

A few people came over and looked at the thermos in Bai Lele's hand as a rare thing.

They are all greedy and get up early and want to make money, and they are also people who can work hard, and it doesn't take long.

Bai Lele was already familiar with them.

At the same time, he also learned a lot of things that he didn't know.

Like queuing early in the morning, this is an unwritten rule, in order to earn more money for several trucks to deliver materials.

But everyone thinks the same, so unless you come to line up in the middle of the night, you have to wait for others to finish loading before it is your turn.

"It's really hard work!" Bai Lele was speechless, looking at the few people in front of the team, "No wonder they make a lot of money, I can't be envious."

"No way." One of the drivers said, "There are a lot of projects during this period. Not only do our deliverers want to pull more trucks, but the boss on the construction site also wants more."

"The supply of materials is not timely and delays the construction period."

"Yes." Bai Lele nodded repeatedly, "Brother is right."

As soon as he finished speaking, several men laughed "haha", "It seems that you are new and inexperienced."

"Yes." Bai Lele said frankly: "This is the first time, please tell me more about the way here."

"There is no way." A man in his 30s who looks steady said, "Even if we can endure hardships, we don't know those side ways."

On this day, Bai Lele knew a few people, and also brought several truckloads of materials to the construction site.

He calculated that he earned more than 30 yuan.

Bai Lele is quite satisfied. If he continues to do this, he can earn more than 1000 a month.

More than your average small business.

……

When he returned home with a tired face, it was already past seven in the evening, and Huo Changqing was waiting at the door early.

Seeing him coming back, he immediately took him into the house and brought him water to wash his face.

"Wash first, and then talk after eating."

Bai Lele washed her face and hands, and said to Huo Changqing, "It's pretty good, I didn't earn less today, and I'm not tired."

Huo Changqing looked at him covered in dust, his small white face looked like a cat, with black marks one after another on the left.

I am secretly glad that I installed a carport for the tractor.

Although it's just the driver's seat, there is an iron plate above it, but it can block the sun from the rain and snow.

"Does your back hurt?" Huo Changqing pressed his big warm hands on Bai Lele's back, and said distressedly, "After eating, I'll rub it for you."

"Yeah." Bai Lele tilted her head, with crystal drops on her face, she pouted and said coquettishly, "It hurts, it hurts."

He knew that he couldn't hide this from Huo Changqing, but he was afraid that he would love him too much and would not let him go if he got angry.

"I have no experience today." Bai Lele didn't wipe her face, she lowered her head and rubbed against Huo Changqing's body, and said aggrievedly, "I don't earn as much as others."

A hint of cunning quickly flashed across his shining eyes, shaking Huo Changqing's arm.

"Tomorrow I must strive to earn forty, and then fifty... more and more."

"Yes." Huo Changqing rubbed his soft hair, and coaxed softly: "We are happy to endure hardships and stand hard work, and we will definitely earn more and more."

"Really?" Bai Lele looked excited, his eyes brightened with hope, "Can I really earn that much?"

"Yes." Huo Changqing saw that he was exhausted, but he still held on to his fighting spirit, and said very seriously, "I can."

He secretly decided: No, I will let you too.
