rebirth of cataclysm

Seeing Hu Mingchen's exciting reaction, Director Song nodded with satisfaction and smiled.

"However, you must be prepared to endure hardship. It will be very difficult to learn from me."

"Don't worry, I'm not afraid of anything except hardship."

"Okay, you come to the river under the bridge every morning. I will be there every morning. But the time cannot exceed 6:30. Your family lives in Huangni Village. Can you do it?" Director Song immediately asked Hu Mingchen

A strict requirement was put forward.

"Six-thirty... no problem, I can definitely do it. I will buy a digital watch tomorrow."

We have to get to the river under the bridge at 6:30. This is indeed a big challenge for Hu Mingchen. On the one hand, Hu Mingchen’s home is far away from the street. If we have to get there at 6:30, Hu Mingchen has to go out at least 6:00.

, and you have to run along the way.

On the other hand, the riverside under the bridge is a special place in Duge Township. Usually no one goes to that place at all, and that place usually only gets crowded under two circumstances. One is to shoot prisoners, and in Hu Mingchen's

From memory, people were shot at that place at least three times, and each time there were huge crowds of people around and on the bridge. Secondly, there were fights. I don’t know when, but people who started fighting around liked to place their fights in that place.

Perhaps because of the special nature of that place, the locals are not willing to go there to bring bad luck. Even the residents on the street will not go there unless necessary.

But the place where Director Song met was so strange that even if Hu Mingchen agreed, he was still feeling confused. It was already dark at 6:30, but in winter, it was still pitch black outside at 6:30.

"You don't need to buy an electronic watch. I'll give you a watch as a meeting gift. Can you understand a mechanical watch?" After saying that, Director Song took off the watch he was wearing and handed it to him.

Hu Mingchen.

"Well...it's not good for me to just accept your gift like this? Besides, you gave it to me, what about you?" Hu Mingchen hesitated and took the watch in his hand.

"I still have this kind of watch at home. Haha, you're worried that I won't have time." Director Song smiled, "Okay, go back quickly. It's too late and the family is worried. Let's go, let's go."

.”

"What about those two people?"

"Just bandage it up, lock it up for a night, and then ask the adults to pick it up tomorrow. Little babies like this cannot be severely punished, but their adults don't believe they will give them good things to eat. You go quickly.

Director Song waved his hand and said casually.

Hu Mingchen took the watch given by Director Song and turned around and left the township government compound.

The important institutions in the township all work in the compound of the township government. In addition to the three-story building in the middle that is used by the four major groups including the township party committee and the township government, there are several two-story small buildings next to it, such as the township government office.

The family planning office, township finance office, police station, post office, etc. are all inside.

Most of the shops on the street are closed, and only some people's doorways still have lights on.

Hu Mingchen stopped at the door of a house, and with the help of the light coming from the house, he picked up the watch and looked at it.

This is a military watch, with the word "August 1" on the center, and next to it is a display with blue luminescence. The manufacturer behind it is signed Nanjing Watch Factory. This watch is quite heavy in the hand, indicating that its quality should be

Pretty solid.

Hu Mingchen put the watch on his wrist. Although the strap was retractable, it was still very long. Compared with Hu Mingchen's small wrist, it was too big. He had to ask a watch repairman to remove five or six bars when he went to the city to purchase goods.

will be suitable.

There are so few people wearing watches in Duge Township that there is not even a watch repairman here.

Hu Mingchen came back so late, Hu Yandie and Hu Yujiao naturally wanted to cross-examine him.

It was impossible for Hu Mingchen to tell them about the robbery, which would only make them worry more in vain. So, Hu Mingchen could only lie and make up other reasons.

Fortunately, when Hu Mingchen brought back two pairs of sandals, Hu Yandie and Hu Yujiao's attention had been attracted by the two pairs of beautiful sandals, and they did not even think about whether the reasons compiled by Hu Mingchen were reasonable.

"Brother, are these shoes for us?" Hu Yujiao asked happily, holding the pair of small leather shoes carefully.

"Silly girl, these are women's shoes, and the size is your size. If I don't give it to you, why don't I wear it myself? I can't fit it in either." Hu Mingchen touched Hu Yujiao's head with pity and said.

"How much do these two pairs of shoes cost? I'm afraid they are not cheap." Of course Hu Yandie also likes her pair of shoes, but she is still more concerned about the price.

In fact, the family has little money and is not well-off at all.

"It's not expensive, just a few dozen dollars. Sister, don't think about anything else. With the money you make, you should improve your lives. When I have money in the future, I will buy you better shoes and shoes."

Clothes." Hu Mingchen understood what Hu Yandie was thinking and comforted her.

"Xiaochen, I know you have made a lot of money, but... Mom and Dad should be back soon. Then we will have to spend money. We should save as much as we can, you know?"

Even if Hu Mingchen said that, Hu Yandie still took on the attitude of a sister and gave him Yifan instructions.

"Sister, I understand, don't worry, I won't spend money randomly. Buying shoes for you doesn't count as spending money randomly, as long as you like it." Hu Mingchen nodded.

"You only bought them for us, but what about yours? Didn't you buy them for yourself?" Hu Yandie asked when she saw that there were only two pairs of shoes.

"My Jiefang shoes are still in good condition and can be worn, so I won't buy them for the time being. I will go to the city to buy them next time when I earn more money." Hu Mingchen said boldly.

It sounds like Hu Mingchen dislikes the bad shoes sold in Duge Township. In fact, he really deliberately left himself behind in order to save money. In addition, his Jiefang shoes have begun to have holes in the uppers, so they are still good.

Still sitting.

"Then remember to buy yourself a pair next time."

"Don't worry, sister, can I still treat myself badly? Do you like this pair of yours?"

"Well, I like these shoes. Xiaojiao, take the shoes and put them away. You are not allowed to wear them at ordinary times. You will wear them when you go to have a drink. Do you understand?" After telling Hu Mingchen, Hu Yandie turned to Hu Yujiao.

In rural areas, good clothes are only worn at two times, one is when going to a party, and the other is when relatives host a banquet to have a drink. Even adults are like this, let alone children.

"I can't wear it to school tomorrow!" Hu Yujiao also planned to wear it to school tomorrow to show off, but when Hu Yandie said this, she became a little frustrated.

"Sister, I don't think you need to be so restrictive. You can wear it when eating and drinking, you can wear it when going to school, as long as you don't wear it when working in the fields. Don't worry, you will have a lot of nice shoes and shoes in the future.

As for the clothes, Xiaojiao can wear them if she wants, it doesn't matter." Hu Mingchen was confident that the conditions at home would get better and better, so he did not agree with his sister's prudence and frugality.

"Then... okay, but you have to be careful not to accidentally kick it." After hesitating, Hu Yandie agreed.

In fact, Hu Yandie didn't want to wear a pair of pretty good shoes to school. Her shoes with broken soles had been teased by her classmates more than once. She also wanted to show off and feel proud.

Hu Yandie may be a sister, but she is still a child in the fifth grade of elementary school. Even though she looks more mature than her peers, her childlike nature is still there.

"Ah ha, you can wear new shoes, you can wear new shoes. Sister, don't worry, I will protect you carefully." After receiving the answer, Hu Yujiao suddenly became excited.

Hu Yandie also smiled and took her new shoes to the room to admire and try them on.

A pair of shoes costing more than 20 yuan can make his sister and sister so happy. Hu Mingchen was really moved.

To other people, to city dwellers, shoes costing tens of dollars are nothing. But to Hu Mingchen's family, these are considered high-quality gifts.

In the final analysis, it is because of poverty, that is, that my elder sister and younger sister have never worn anything good, not even a pair of decent shoes. When my mother buys for her sister, she only buys cheap ones. Many things have to be given to her after she has worn them.

My sister wears it, but sometimes she has no money to buy it, so she has to wear her mother's clothes.

When he thinks of this, Hu Mingchen's desire to make money and fortune will become stronger and more determined.

Hu Mingchen tried every means and resorted to various means to earn more and more money. The little he earned so far could not fundamentally change the family's predicament. It could only alleviate it at most.

Hu Mingchen was already thinking about the possibility of making money besides selling cards.

Selling cards is good, but the amount of money is not very large. Whether it is a child studying on the street or a child studying in a mountain primary school, pocket money is always very limited. If you want to make a fortune from them, the possibility is almost

is zero.

And Hu Mingchen gradually discovered a situation, that is, if the card continues to spread deeply, it will not be good for the children. If nothing else, just the fact that they would rather not spend money to buy food is not good for their health.

Development and health.

Of course, it was impossible for Hu Mingchen to stop the business of selling cards all at once. At least until he found other ways to make more money, Hu Mingchen could only endure the pain and wronged those little kids.

At this stage, Hu Mingchen still needs money and more capital. He cannot do things that are benevolent to women.

A general's achievements and great achievements are made by countless people with their lives.

In the business world, this law also exists. In the stage of primitive accumulation, some people will inevitably have to contribute or sacrifice for this.

There is no way, those children, you can only contribute more for your entertainment and the development of Hu Mingchen.
