A young educated youth who repays his gratitude

"That much money?"

Bai Lele sat on the kang and counted the money, smiling with crooked eyebrows, "It's a pleasure to give, I'll be so heartbroken when I go back."

Huo Changqing glanced at the brand-new Ten Yuan Great Unity, "The money is nothing when you come to the battlefield. Didn't you calculate how much money you lost in one day?"

Bai Lele: "..."

The joy of counting money is gone!

He looked at the money in his hand and threw it on the kang. It was a big sum for them.

In the eyes of the rich, it is just a few days of income.

"The difference between the rich and the poor is too great." Bai Lele sighed, "I haven't made a comparison, let alone imagine it."

I also have a lot of money in my hand, and I have made a lot of money a few times, so I am happy to see thousands of dollars.

So what does this money mean to those workers who earn tens of dollars a month, and rural people who plan to eat in the soil?

"Compared to what?" Huo Changqing raised his eyebrows, and said nonchalantly: "It's an old saying that people die when compared with others, and they are thrown away when compared with goods. Does this have to be done according to the saying?"

"How many people must die, and how many things must be thrown away?"

"Yes, yes, yes." Bai Lele thought about it for a moment, and said with a bright smile: "We should be like, people are more alive than others, and goods are better than goods."

"How do you compare yourself to others? Just be comfortable with yourself."

Huo Changqing didn't speak, seeing that he was no longer fooling around with the money, so he said, "Spend the money."

"Huh?" Bai Lele was startled: Flowers as soon as you get them?

"What are you buying?" Bai Lele asked, "Can you spend so much money?"

He thought for a while and said, "You can buy whatever you want, we can afford it without the money."

"I don't have anything to buy." Huo Changqing said, "Have you bought anything? Just spend it if you have it. Don't be reluctant."

Bai Lele: "..."

What do you mean?

He leaned closer to Huo Changqing, observed his expression carefully, his eyes were full of doubts.

Huo Changqing lowered his head, pressed his forehead against Bai Lele's forehead, and said with a smile, "I don't know the reason why wealth should not be revealed?"

Now so many people, not only those in our brigade, know that Bai Lele is rich.

It is inevitable that someone will be tempted.

If you have a problem and ask for help, it's not impossible to help, but I'm afraid that someone will be jealous.

Huo Changqing is not afraid, he can block people back casually, but it will be annoying if there are too many times.

After spending it, there is no such trouble.

"Oh." Bai Lele understood, her eyes sparkled as if they were filled with little stars, and she hugged Huo Changqing's arm excitedly, "You still think too much, I didn't think of this."

He once saw someone asking Huo Changqing to borrow money, not a lot, just ten or twenty yuan.

But everyone knew that Huo Changqing had no money, and it was really difficult for his family to raise three children.

No one came to speak.

But now that there is such a large amount of money, Bai Lele can imagine how many people would think that it is nothing if he spends a few dozen dollars.

"I'll just say it." Bai Lele said, "Why do you spend so much money?"

"It took a lot of worry." Huo Changqing said: "We can help if there are difficulties, but it is not a hurdle that cannot be overcome, so there is no need to worry about it so much."

"It's the same with relatives, otherwise they will take it for granted that you should do everything, and you will end up thankless in the end."

Bai Lele nodded frequently, thinking that Huo Changqing's words were right, even though he had no experience in this field.

But Huo Changqing lives in a big family, and there are many close relatives in the family, even more than 20 nephews and nieces.

These people have experienced a lot of sophistication.

"Listen to you." Bai Lele said, "We spend it and don't keep any."

He frowned: How should I spend it?Do you want people to know that it's all spent?

"Do you think the battlefield will retaliate against us in the future?" Bai Lele suddenly thought of this question, "Should we be more careful?"

The other party's attitude was tough at first, but later changed, although Bai Lele felt strange.

But he just thought that Qi Zhijun and the others that brother Ping had found knew Huo Changqing, so that brother Ping changed his attitude, and even pulled his brother-in-law to lie down and be a child.

But what about the future?

Bai Lele felt that he should be more cautious.

The money spent should not cause too much sensation, which would defeat their purpose of letting others know.

"No." Huo Changqing stewed for a while and said: "There is no revenge, the past is the past."

He squeezed the space between his brows, and while he was speechless, he didn't want to tell Bai Lele the real reason.

In the past, he was young and energetic, he was dissatisfied with everyone, and he did a lot of lawless things.

He used to be a person with a little prestige in Crane City.

Looking back now, Huo Changqing felt very ashamed, and was embarrassed to tell Bai Lele.

"The boss of the battlefield is doing business." Huo Changqing said euphemistically, "It was because he made some money by doing business a few years ago, and his family has some connections, so he only opened this battlefield in the past two years."

"He's a decent person, and he won't do things that are black hands behind the scenes. You don't have to worry about it."

"That's good." Bai Lele relaxed, without any scruples, "Let's buy another tractor."

Qi Zhijun said: If you don’t want to send sand, you can transport earthwork and other things used in construction sites, and you can earn the same money.

So Bai Lele wanted to buy another tractor.

"No." Huo Changqing shook his head, "I won't earn much money if I buy another tractor."

Bai Lele: Five or sixty yuan a day, how little is that?

He looked at Huo Changqing inexplicably, full of complexity, as if asking Huo Changqing again: How much more do you want to earn?

Huo Changqing couldn't help but smile when he saw his lively face and his resentful eyes.

He thought of teasing, and said deliberately: "Buy a car, a big car, what do you think?"

Not wanting Bai Lele to take it seriously, she couldn't help but frowned and said, "A car? It costs more than a hundred thousand, money..." Not enough!

Huo Changqing: "..."

He was just joking around, but Bai Lele was serious, looking at his frowning and sad face.

Huo Changqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he raised his hand and knocked on Bai Lele's forehead, "I'm kidding you, can't you hear it?"

"Why do we buy a car?" Huo Changqing: "It's of no use to us."

"Hmph." Bai Lele snorted softly, rubbing her forehead in dissatisfaction, "Isn't it just a car, we can buy it sooner or later."

He waved his fist and encouraged himself: "To make money, to make money, you must buy a car."

"You should think about how to spend the money." Huo Changqing said, "Spend it as soon as possible."

"Let's treat everyone to a meal first." Bai Lele said, "There are so many people here this time, we have to express something."

Although the salary was calculated, it was paid at two yuan a day, and I was treated to a meal of braised pork at noon.

But when Bai Lele saw so much money on the kang, and what Huo Changqing said, he thought he should invite him again.

Completely paid back the favor.

"Yeah." Huo Changqing nodded, "Usually it doesn't matter, but this time it's different."

After all, there is too much money.

It's fine if you don't have the ability, the people in the brigade won't make trouble, and no one dares to say that they don't need help.

But Bai Lele got so much money, and even if he didn't take out any money, it wouldn't justify his face.

Huo Changqing originally meant this too, but before he opened his mouth, Bai Lele said it first.

"Then it's settled." Bai Lele said, "Go to the town and set up a few tables. We'll spend more money. Please have a good meal."

"No need for this." Huo Changqing shook his head, "It's not affordable."

He said: "Buy two big fat pigs, kill a family to share some meat, let them take it back, and the whole family can eat a few meals together."

Huo Changqing wanted to take this opportunity to let Bai Lele fully integrate into the brigade, and let the Huo family treat him as one of their own.

He also suggested: "There are more than 100 households in the brigade, everyone should share a little bit, and they will all be their own people in the future."

Bai Lele didn't care, knowing that no matter what Huo Changqing did, it was for his own good.

Immediately nodded in agreement.

……

A few days later, the spring plowing of the brigade was over and everyone was resting at home.

Bai Lele generously gave out a few hundred yuan to let Huo Changqing buy three big fat pigs at once, and asked someone to kill them in the drying yard.

It's not that I don't want to invite you to dinner.

It's just that there is no sauerkraut now, so we can't make pig-killing dishes, and there are too many people in the team.

It is said that there are more than 100 households, but many people have no separate families, and the largest population is dozens of people.

Bai Lele heard Huo Changqing say: In the past few years, many children have been born one after another, and the brigade has reached more than 2000 people.

In the end, the family could only share some meat, which was regarded as Bai Lele's kindness for joining a big family.

Three big fat pigs were carried to the drying yard, and the "Aoao" sound was very scary.

Bai Lele didn't dare to look forward, so she took Bao Wa'er to the gate of the brigade and stood there, looking at the place where the pigs were slaughtered from afar.

The people in the brigade had no scruples. When they saw all the slaughtered pigs running to the drying yard to watch the fun, they knew that Bai Lele was going to distribute the meat to the team.

Immediately happy.

Everyone greeted Bai Lele with a smile on their face, and some half-children jumped up and down excitedly, shouting everywhere to kill the pig and divide the meat.

Bai Lele's smiling face was a little stiff, and everyone who saw him wanted to come over and chat with him.

He kept praising her, and her mouth was full of our brigade, as if Bai Lele and them were part of the same family.

There is no sense of distance anymore.

Bai Lele thought happily: This pork is worth it.

Huo Changqing came to him after arranging the killing of pigs, "We'll go there after the killing is over."

"What about the pigs going into the water?" Bai Lele asked him, "Do you want to share too?"

"Let's keep one set." Huo Changqing said, "The rest will be shared among the elders."

Bai Lele likes to eat offal, but it's not winter, so I can't keep it too much.

"Shall we feed some blood sausage ourselves?" Bai Lele said, "There are not many pig blood, so let's feed less."

As he spoke, he licked some of his lips, feeling that his saliva was about to flow down, and looked at Huo Changqing eagerly.

This matter has to be done by Huo Changqing, not by Bai Lele.

"Then don't give it to the elders." Huo Changqing said: "Blood sausage, let's share."

"Yeah." Bai Lele nodded again and again, and said in agreement, "It's the same with blood sausage. We'll ask for a few more."

He stood aside, far away from the place where the pig was slaughtered, tiptoeing to see if the pig had been killed.

It's just that everyone from the brigade was there and surrounded the place where the pig was slaughtered, and Bai Lele only saw some black people pressing on the back of their heads.

"Go over and talk about it." Bai Lele said, "I'll look at Bao Wa'er and ask him to play with these children for a while."

Baowa'er was jogging, playing with a group of children of the same age, her little face flushed with excitement.

Seeing Huo Changqing rushing over, he raised his head and asked, "Dad, did the pig die?"

"Kill it." Huo Changqing said.

"No meat?" Bao Wa'er looked puzzled, looking at the place where the pig was slaughtered, "Where's our meat?"

That was a pig bought by his family.

The little guy is brilliant!

After asking Huo Changqing, he looked at Bai Lele and said, "Uncle, we haven't got our meat yet."

"You do know." Bai Lele smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't forget, our family has the most meat."

"Enough for you."

Just as he was talking, Huo Xinghe came over and called out: "Uncle, Uncle Bai, I've cleaned up everything, do you share it now?"

Huo Changqing: "Divide, first share with those who help, and each person will give five catties of meat."

He looked at Bai Lele again and said, "Two catties for each household?"

Bai Lele: "Look at the arrangement."

He didn't know how much meat came out of a pig, so he was worried and asked to buy an extra pig, and he didn't intend to intervene in the arrangement.

"Then do this." Huo Changqing said: "Xinghe, find a few more people to pour all the pig's blood into blood sausages, and divide them among the families."

"Hey!" Huo Xinghe happily agreed, turned around and ran away, "I also want to ask if I want to fill the blood sausage, now I can eat it."

"I'll go and have a look too." Huo Changqing said, "Keep something you like to eat."

Bai Lele nodded, and he was also happy in his heart, unless he could get a little pig's blood when he met a butcher.

It is too difficult to eat blood sausage at ordinary times.
