That year the flowers bloomed 1981

After Hao Jian said, Money bites your hand, Li Ye asked calmly: Tell me first, how did you earn these five hundred thousand, and why does it make you feel uneasy?

Is it just the way you said? It's just like a dream.

Hao Jian said: We followed your method. In addition to the sesame candy channels in provincial capitals, we also took letters of introduction to various counties and towns to promote, looking for downlines everywhere.

In the first month, the speed of bulk cargo was very slow. They didn't trust us very much and were even wary.

But starting from the second month, the speed of bulk cargo became faster and faster, and it was too fast to stop.

The sales plan that Li Ye made with Hao Jian and others, now that he has the business license of the Yangcheng Clothing Wholesale Department and the official seal letter of introduction, he might as well be bolder.

They no longer retail in secret. In addition to the sesame candy channels in provincial capitals, they are fully looking for downlines that can be developed in other counties.

For example, a bold businessman like Hao Jian back then, or the manager in a collective clothing store.

The clothing styles are good, the prices are low, and there are official receipts with official seals. Apart from their individual names not sounding loud enough, Hao Jian and others are not much different from public salesmen.

Of course, how big the difference is depends on how they communicate with those in charge.

Hao Jian pulled his fingers and said to Li Ye: Our first shipment of 20,000 yuan took more than 20 days to be shipped, but the second shipment only took half a month.

The quantity of each batch of goods we have doubled, but the time for bulk shipment has been halved. Now, as long as the goods arrive at the train station, they can be bulked up in three days.

In the early 1980s, clothing sales in small northern counties were a seller's market. As long as one person wore new clothes, everyone would follow suit.

State-owned department stores are definitely not easy to deal with, but collective ones, as well as those second-hand clothing stores, will bloom all over the place as long as they open a spot.

Brother Li Ye, it took us less than half a year to earn 20,000 yuan from a few hundred yuan. It only took a few months to earn 500,000 yuan from 20,000 yuan. How long will it take to earn the five million yuan you mentioned?

Hao Jian said with excitement: Brother Li Ye, you believe me, I, Hao Jian, am not afraid of wolves before and after tigers. I am even more of a timid person. Even if you ask me to do it now, I won't be afraid. I'm just .”

Hao Jian tried hard to organize his words, but he was anxiously walking around the room, just not knowing how to express his inner thoughts.

Finally, he said to Li Ye: How about, let's go out for a walk!

Li Ye smiled, took a few bottles of beer and went out.

It was already past nine o'clock in the evening, and the last movie had ended, so even though it was summer, there was no one on the street.

Hao Jian said nothing and led Li Ye and Jin Peng straight to the north of the city, crossing half of the county and arriving at the gate of the County No. 1 Middle School.

Then he asked Li Ye: Brother Xiaoye, do you still remember where I was squatting when I first met you?

Li Ye didn't know what he meant, so he pointed to the side of a tree and said, You squat there, you can not only block your own figure, but also let the children in the school see your sesame candy.

Hao Jian nodded, walked over and squatted down.

Li Ye found it quite interesting, just like Jin Peng, he went to play Asian squats.

Hao Jian gave Li Ye and Jin Peng a cigarette and lit it himself.

This time, he did not diligently light up Li Ye's cigarette as he did before. Instead, he smoked vigorously on his own, downing a cigarette in two or three puffs.

Cough cough cough~

After coughing violently, Hao Jian rubbed his face vigorously before starting to ramble.

I, Hao Jian, am not a local. I found a wife to take root here. When everyone returned to the city, my daughter happened to be born.

I can't go back to the city. I don't regret it at all. I didn't complain when my family wrote to me and scolded me. Where can I not live my life?

But when my daughter was found to be sick, I regretted it. I regretted why I didn't control myself and let her come into this world and suffer.

Hao Jian's tears and snot had flowed down unknowingly, and even flowed into his mouth without him realizing it.

I took my child to the city and the provincial capital for treatment. The doctors have said that if you take medicine for the rest of your life, you may not live long.

I hate it so much! I hate that I'm sorry for the child.

Hao Jian's expression was painful and dazed, his eyes were unfocused, and he was completely lost in memories.

Li Ye was not in a hurry, just waiting for Hao Jian to experience and reminisce about himself.

After a long time, perhaps because he felt something was wrong in his mouth, Hao Jian wiped his face vigorously.

I wrote home and asked my father for help, and my father quickly sent me one hundred and twenty yuan.

One hundred and twenty yuan can give my child medicine for several years, but I sent the money back to him. Do you know why?

Li Ye shook his head, and Jin Peng quickly followed suit and shook his head vigorously.

At this time, the two of them must cooperate with Hao Jian.

Hao Jian bit his lower lip, holding back his tears, and said, Because my father gave me a letter saying that he had sold his eldest brother's bicycle and collected the money.

Can you understand what that means? ah? Can you understand?

Jin Peng took a guess and said, You feel sorry for your eldest brother, are you afraid that he will have a conflict with your eldest sister-in-law?

Jin Peng's guess is not outrageous. In this era, a bicycle is definitely a heavy asset in the family.

Having a bicycle makes it convenient and respectable whether you are going to the countryside market to buy some food or meat, or you are going to and from get off work, or taking your wife and children to your parents' house.

But once the bicycle is gone, the quality of life of a small family will immediately drop by several levels.

But Hao Jian cursed: I feel so bad for him.

.

Hao Jian's eyes were filled with anger: My father's monthly salary is forty-three and a half yuan, and my daughter only needs a few yuan to take medicine every month. Why do I need to sell bicycles?

I admit it that I can't control myself. I deserve to die if I can't go back to the city to fulfill my filial piety, but this girl Jianzi... is his granddaughter!

Hao Jian started crying again. While crying, he complained: I know my father is in trouble. I have many brothers and sisters. I can't take care of this but not that.

But how can a bicycle break my family ties?

.

Jin Peng looked at Hao Jian in shock, and then looked at Li Ye.

Li Ye nodded and said softly: It's not the old man's fault, he is also helpless.

In fact, if you listen carefully to Hao Jian's narration, you can understand his mood at that time, and you can also guess the helplessness of Hao Jian's father.

The family had many children, and Hao Jian could not return to the city, so he settled in a rural area thousands of miles away. He gave birth to a little girl and suffered from incurable diseases.

This makes the decision very difficult for the parents of a large family.

In the end, Hao Jian's father hoped to indirectly make Hao Jian understand one thing by selling his bicycle.

I am willing to pay for my children, but there is a bottomless pit that our family really cannot afford to fill.

Do you think this old man is cruel? If he was really cruel, he might not even pay a dime.

After all, a bicycle is really a lot of money.

In these days, if the old man can do this, he is not considered ruthless.

But I didn't expect Hao Jian to be a donkey and sent the money back again.

Hao Jian wiped away his tears, rubbed his neck and said: I, Hao Jian, used to be a dutiful person and never dared to speculate, but for the sake of my daughter, I started poaching the corners of XXism.

I sell sesame candy, and I've been chased by people who beat me up, I've been beaten by gangsters, and I've been spat on by fellow villagers. I don't give a damn.

I knew from that day that if you want to spend money, you should earn it yourself. What's the difference between relying on others' charity and being a beggar?

Hao Jian spat on the ground and said, What if I am shameless for my daughter? So what if I risk my life in exchange for my daughter's life?

I'm just afraid. I risk my life, but it's useless for him! Hehehehehe

Hao Jian laughed a little crazily, and the tears of laughter fell again.

He pointed at Li Ye and said: Do you know, if I hadn't met you, I really wouldn't be able to hold on, I really wouldn't be able to hold on.

But now, I, Hao Jian, am the big boss, the big boss.

Hao Jian's face began to turn red: I took my mother-in-law and daughter to Yangcheng last month and went to the best hospital.

The best doctor in the family secretly told me that there are imported medicines that are guaranteed to cure my daughter's disease, but they are a bit expensive.

My heart was shaking so much that I asked how much it would cost if it was more expensive.

Hao Jian stretched out two fingers and said with tears: Two thousand yuan, just two thousand yuan can completely cure my child's disease.

The one who steps on the horse only needs two thousand yuan, and the one who steps on the horse only needs two thousand yuan. Wuwuwuwuwu.

Hao Jian was jumping up and down and stamping his feet, like a manic gorilla.

The cry of a thirty-year-old man floated on the streets on a summer night, as resentful as the whimpering of a ghost.

Li Ye's heart only fluctuated slightly, but his face remained calm.

But Jin Peng was infected by Hao Jian and turned his head to wipe the corners of his eyes.

Two thousand yuan, only two thousand yuan?

For ordinary people, the two thousand yuan in 1982 was as painful and helpless as the families suffering from terminal illnesses in later generations faced with unaffordable high surgical fees.

[There is only one disease in this world - the disease of poverty. 】

This short sentence expresses how much bitterness and bitterness there is in the world.

Hao Jian's sobbing and crying lasted for several minutes before ending.

Then he said sincerely to Li Ye: I have said so much just to tell Brother Xiaoye that I am not afraid of making more money, I am just afraid of losing everything I have now.

I'm afraid that my children won't be taken care of by me. I'm afraid that I'll suddenly go back to the past. I'm afraid that my dreams won't come true.

I have thought that one day, I will drive my own car and take my daughter back to my hometown to show them all.

Hao Jian slapped his chest loudly: I want all of them to see that my daughter is not a bottomless pit that cannot be filled, nor a loser that cannot be raised, but that all of them can't climb up. The golden knot, the golden phoenix.”

Li Ye held his chin in his hands, smiled, and looked at Hao Jian, the daughter slave, with interest. He found it quite interesting.

Daughter slaves are rare in this era!

But Hao Jian misunderstood Li Ye and asked uncomfortably: Brother Xiaoye, why are you laughing?

I'm not laughing at you, Li Ye shook his head and said, I'm just thinking, since you haven't fulfilled your dream yet, what are you hesitating about now?

Hao Jian was silent for a few seconds and said, I hope to get your guidance, Brother Xiaoye.

My advice?

Li Ye held his chin with his right hand, half-smiling.

In fact, when Hao Jian was selling sesame candy, he visited Li Ye once and worried about what would happen if he became a household worth one hundred thousand yuan or one million yuan.

At that time, Li Ye needed an entrepreneurial general, so he solved Hao Jian's doubts and released the ambition hidden in him.

Hao Jian still has great potential, but after all, he is not the kind of natural hero with endless desires. He may need a little help and training at certain stages.

For example, now, although Hao Jian was mentally prepared for a million-dollar household, he was still shocked and frightened when he saw five million yuan approaching.

At this time, he developed a mentality of seeking stability and hoped for a solid support.

Li Ye's grandfather had status and connections, and Hao Jian often delivered vegetables and meat to Erliang Store, and he also knew about Wen Leyu's existence.

It’s not a big secret that Teacher Ke from County No. 2 Middle School has been promoted to the capital.

Therefore, Hao Jian felt that Li Ye could give him guidance.

Hao Jian didn't dare to expect to get in contact with higher-ups, but I'm just a pony, boss, can you give me some confidence?

So, Li Ye gave him some advice.

Hao Jian, Jin Peng, you must have been to Yangcheng in the past few months, right? Haven't you noticed that in Yangcheng, private business worth hundreds of thousands of dollars is no longer uncommon?

.

Hao Jian and Jin Peng were stunned for a moment, not thinking clearly.

But soon, Hao Jian got a clue and asked Li Ye tentatively: You mean, put the money in Yangcheng?

It's not just money, Li Ye corrected: Our next base will be in Yangcheng or Pengcheng.

In that hot land, no matter how much money you have, you don't need to hide it.

Hao Jian and Jin Peng looked at each other, and after being stunned for a long time, they said reluctantly: But that's someone else's territory over there! What should we do with the country we have built here?

Lao Feng was about to get a sling bottle, and his lungs felt like they were on fire. Every time he coughed, it hurt. He couldn't stand it anymore.

I originally wanted to write a few hundred more words, and then divided it into two chapters over 4,000 words, but in the end I decided to forget it. Who is stupider than the other? I used to write a chapter of three to four thousand words, but suddenly it changed to two thousand words. Isn’t this fooling people? ?

Laofeng’s free chapters are updated an average of 7,000 times a day. He is really not a lazy person.

But it’s so funny. I didn’t even ask for leave for the nearly 300,000-word free chapter, and I updated it many times. But when it was released immediately, I felt like I couldn’t update it on the day it was released.

Lao Feng will go for an infusion first. If he comes back in good condition and has a lot of code words, he will add a chapter today. If there are not enough code words, he will try to ensure a normal update tomorrow and ensure that two to three chapters will be published the day after tomorrow.

It's really sad.
