80s Taoism

Zhang Youping sweated and turned each carton into a piece of cardboard, and then folded them neatly. In order to load more tricycles, he had to think of more ways. Hesitation is still in the early stage of starting a business. I don’t have money to buy better equipment, so I can only ride a tricycle to various factories to collect waste products. This waste cardboard box and various waste papers are the most waste products in the factory. Now Zhang Youping is the only one working in this factory, and he is too busy every day.

Every time Zhao Hongbing came to the factory where Zhao Hongbing worked as a security guard, Zhao Hongbing would always help Zhang Youping to load his car. Seeing Zhang Youping sweating profusely, he couldn't help shaking his head, "I said, Youping, the money is endless. Why do you have to work so hard? If you come to work as a security guard in our factory, the work is very easy. Like us, you just walk around every day. Why do you think you are so hard?"

"I can't help it. I'm used to working at home and I can't be idle. Otherwise, why should I quit my job? This job is just right for me. Although it's tiring, it's nothing compared to doing farm work in Meizi'ao. And this job is more free. When I'm tired from working that day, I can take a day off and no one cares about me." Zhang Youping tied up the paper bag and got into the car immediately.

Although Zhang Youping is engaged in the business of collecting waste products, he has a bigger dream. Of course, the short-term goal is to replace the tricycle with a four-wheel vehicle. Zhang Youping figured that if he replaced his tricycle with a small four-wheeler, he could travel to several factories every day. Not only the few factories in this area, but also the factories farther away, he can also eat it. He knew that there was an earlier industrial park farther away, and there were several very large factories there. If he could eat those factories, he would not even dare to think about it. People who come out to work now don't know how much the income of collecting waste is, so there are not many people in this line of work. But Zhang Youping knows that there are many smart people in the world, if he doesn't take advantage of this good opportunity to make more money, and then expand his plate, it will be difficult to wait for such a good opportunity in the future.

He didn't send the waste paper from the tricycle to the carton factory, but dragged it to the small shop he rented. The location of the recycling station is relatively remote, so the rent is not too high for a relatively small storefront. Zhang Youping pushed up the turnstile, which was filled with all sorts of recyclables that had been sorted out. These recyclables are piled up here, and when a certain amount has accumulated, Zhang Youping will call a car to send these wastes to a large recycling company, or directly to a paper mill.

After stacking the waste paper, Zhang Youping sat on a sofa with a broken leg and prepared to take a breather. He took out a bag of money from his pocket, took out a stick from it, but didn't smoke it, just put it on his nose and smelled it. He didn't even have a lighter in his pocket. Since setting up this recycling station, he has never left a lighter in his pocket. He was afraid that if he couldn't help it, smoking here would be too dangerous.

Sitting on the sofa, Zhang Youping was thinking about what the mother-in-law was doing at this time, and what the cub was doing thousands of miles away. Thinking about them, Zhang Youping felt that he immediately became energetic again.

The last time Liu Qiaoye came over, seeing Zhang Youping's situation here, she was so sad that she couldn't stop crying. The couple hugged each other on the broken sofa, and Zhang Youping made a bold statement: "Mother, just wait." When I make money, I will buy our own house in this city. Let you and Zai Zai be urbanites too.

From the moment he left Meizi'ao, Zhang Youping secretly made a great wish: he won't go back until he looks like himself!

Now, he's working towards his goal. Zhang Youping grabbed a space cup from the ground and drank the cold boiled water in one gulp.

People in the city eat three meals a day, which is completely different from the rhythm of most people in Meiziao who eat two meals a day. But Zhang Youping is also used to three meals a day. It's not that he learned from the people in the city. It's that the work he does is too physically demanding, and he won't have the strength to work if he doesn't eat enough.

On the water line, Liu Qiaoye deftly processes the products coming off the line. Workers on the assembly line are always doing very simple repetitive tasks over and over again. This not only requires quick technique, but also extremely good patience. Liu Qiaoye could sit still, her hands were so fast that it was hard to see her fingers clearly.

Because she sat in the workshop for a long time and was rarely exposed to the sun, her skin was no longer as red as when she just came out, but as fair as the people in the city. The last time I went to Zhang Youping's recycling station, Zhang Youping joked: When I go back, I'm afraid the beggar won't recognize his mother, and he thinks his father abducted a mother from the city.

Thinking of this, Liu Qiaoye was a little dazed, Zai Zai didn't know what was going on now. He should have grown taller. Will he be as tall and handsome as his father in the future?

"Qiaoye. What are you thinking? Are you thinking about your beggar again?" Xiao Lihua pushed Liu Qiaoye who was in a daze.

"Oh, no." Liu Qiaoye immediately cheered up. You can't be careless on this assembly line. It won't be long before I hear that a female worker in a certain workshop was stabbed by a machine when she deserted.

"Take a break when you're tired. Don't hold back. You two are a natural match. You work hard. You've been here for so long and I haven't seen you take a rest. This is not okay. If the strings are taut, they will break. Don't work overtime this Sunday, go to Youping's, cook for him, and wash his clothes. My red soldiers are half as hardworking as yours, so I don't have to work hard here anymore. My man has no ambitions, alas." Xiao Lihua is not dissatisfied with her man either. . In fact, Zhao Hongbing has more affairs than Zhang Youping. But she was ashamed to tell people about this advantage.

Liu Qiaoye was indeed a little tired and did not work overtime in the afternoon. She was a little worried about her man. Every time I go to the recycling station, there is a room full of all kinds of waste. I dare not start a fire in the recycling bin, and deal with it casually every time I eat. Liu Qiaoye is going to let Zhang Youping rent another house. She also lived there in the future. There are workers in the factory who rent houses outside. The couple are both here, so it is more convenient to rent a house. Liu Qiaoye thought to herself that if she rented a house, she could cook and wash for Zhang Youping every day in the future. Now the two people earn a lot of money every month, and they can rent a house. At least a decent place to sleep. Zhang Youping doesn't need to curl up on the three-legged sofa every night. Because the environment is too simple, the two of them haven't performed Zhou Gong's ceremony for a long time.

Liu Qiaoye's mind was very confused, and she blushed when she thought of this.

Before I knew it, I was almost at the recycling bin, and I happened to see Zhang Youping pushing the tricycle towards the recycling bin with difficulty.

"What's the matter? Isn't it easier to ride?" Liu Qiaoye was a little puzzled.

"Today is really unlucky, the tire is rotten on the way. This is a new one. It's only been a few days. There are too many nails on the road in this area. Alas, I will have to replace this tricycle sooner or later!" Zhang Youping grinned when he saw his wife coming.
