Winner in life

Seeing this sentence means that the purchase ratio is not enough.

After hearing this, Li Dashui looked at Ruihe. Ruihe turned over his coat and looked at it several times. He really liked it. This coat looks too big for him, but he is still growing taller, and he will be able to wear it for several years when he gets older.

Seeing Ruihe's intention, Li Dashui pulled Ruihe and said, "If you really want to buy it, can we haggle over the price?"

Ruihe nodded and looked at the seller: "Can it be cheaper?"

"It's already very cheap! Look at the material. It's a fine woolen fabric that won't break down after ten years of use. And I don't want a ticket! It's definitely new clothes. You can see the brand is still hanging. Such good clothes. Even if you have money, you can’t buy it in a department store!”

Rui He was interested in buying it, so Li Dashui joined in to help him negotiate the price. The three of them lowered their voices and lowered the price to each other. Finally, Rui He bought the woolen coat for thirty-two yuan and fifty cents. But he didn’t have that much money on him, and he had just discussed with the seller to wait for him to go home to get the money, when the girl who was on guard in the alley ran back and whispered: “The city manager of the Industrial and Commercial Office is here!”

Suddenly the sellers and buyers jumped up.

The man grabbed, pulled, and tied up his left and right hands at the same time, and ran away with the big package on his shoulders.

"Go, go, go!"

In the blink of an eye, people were running around, and Li Dashui also pulled Ruihe and ran out of the alley, far away from the group of city management. The city manager was wearing a uniform and walking in a vigorous manner, which made Ruihe a little scared. He had seen these people arrest people who were secretly doing business in the alleys before. He heard that all their belongings would be confiscated and they would be imprisoned for three months. I heard from Aunt Xiu'e that in the past few years, if you were caught, you would have to be imprisoned for several years. These years, the prison terms have been relatively relaxed.

Rui He was a little regretful that the coat he was looking for was not bought. In the days to come, he would always think of this dark blue woolen coat. In the dim alley, that coat seemed to be particularly bright. In his memory Rooted in for many years. When he bought more coats in the future, he always felt that they were not as good-looking as the one back then, and that one felt soft to the touch.

However, at this time, Ruihe, like Li Dashui, was frightened by the sudden arrival of the industrial and commercial bureau and municipal management. For a moment, he couldn't care about anything else, so he took other paths to avoid them and hurried home. If there is speculation, the buyer will also be punished.

At night, Ruihe sat on the bed and started to collect the soles. He just received a bundle of cords from the production team at the end of this year. He is usually too busy to collect the soles. Now he only has a pair of thousand-layer sole shoes to wear. If it rains one day , then there are not even replacement shoes.

Under the oil lamp, Rui He suddenly fell into a trance. He remembered what happened in the afternoon and couldn't help complaining to System 460: "I can buy a woolen coat without cloth, but it's a pity that I didn't succeed. You said that if I go out tomorrow, I'll pay it back." Can I meet that person again?" After saying that, he sighed and asked himself, "I don't think it's possible. If I met the city manager there today, that boss would definitely not dare to go there to sell again. Where can I go to find him? I guess I can’t find it.”

The wick of the oil lamp crackled and there was a knock on the door.

"The hill is me."

It's Zhang Dashan.

Ruihe got out of bed and opened the door. Zhang Dashan came in wrapped in the cold winter night. After sitting down, he chatted for a few words. However, they had not had much contact since they separated. On weekdays, one went to the factory and the other went to work. There was nothing much to talk about. After talking about the fact that this year's autumn harvest was worse than previous years, Zhang Dashan coughed and finally got to the point.

It turned out that he wanted to borrow money to buy a house. Instead of rebuilding the house you live in now, just buy a new one.

There is a family named Zhang Conglu in the village. His house was just built the year before last. It is brand new and has two floors. For some reason, he suddenly wants to sell the house and asks for 240 yuan.

"I just want to buy it. You can come and live in it if you want in the future."

Rui He found it incredible. Why did Zhang Dashan think he would borrow so much money? Even if he really wanted to buy it, he would have to buy it himself. Why would he lend money to Zhang Dashan to buy it and then live there?

"Brother, I can't borrow this money. As you know, I have been making up classes. I plan to go to middle school next summer, so the money I earn from joining the factory will be my living expenses in the future and cannot be used easily. If you want to buy a house, I I can lend you twenty yuan." Of course it's an IOU.

Zhang Dashan was shocked by this statement: "Go to middle school? What has happened to you that makes you so mad that you have a bright future and you don't want to go to school?"

It was Xu Caiheng who suggested going to middle school. He said: "Elementary school is easy to manage. Many students nowadays have not stayed in school for five years. They are busy at home and have to take care of their younger brothers and sisters to help in the fields. The school can manage it well." It’s not strict, as long as you take the final exam, you will graduate. Whether you pass the exam or not is your own business.”

He waved his hand, "But students who don't come to school very much throughout the year generally have no intention of going to middle school. But middle school is different, Xiao Shan, I can indeed teach you the content of middle school, but if you want to graduate from middle school smoothly, you must You must go to class and study step by step, otherwise the school will not let you graduate.”

If you cannot graduate, you cannot go to high school, and you cannot qualify as a high school graduate to take the college entrance examination.

Xu Caiheng said that his name could be included in the primary school graduation exam at the end of June next year, and he could take the exam for a five-cent exam fee. As long as he succeeds in the final exam next year, he can be admitted to the middle school like other students, and his student status will be in Shangmeicun Elementary School. The procedures are not bad.

For this reason, Rui He made the plan to quit his job and go to middle school. Saying this to Zhang Dashan was not an excuse.

But Zhang Dashan's explanation didn't make sense. Outsiders couldn't understand the matter of giving up his factory job to go to school. Rui He didn't want to say more and only expressed his attitude.

Zhang Dashan's hands were clasped together under the table, but his face looked a little sad, and he changed his words.

"Originally, your sister-in-law and I planned to buy a house, and we borrowed thirty yuan from the Song family. Unexpectedly, before the money was collected, something happened to your sister-in-law's father. She suddenly wanted to go to the fields in the middle of the night and accidentally fell. I fell down and hit a stone on my forehead, which opened a hole. I am now in the hospital in the town." Zhang Dashan sighed, "I paid back the thirty yuan I borrowed from the Song family and gave him another hundred yuan. In this way, the matter of buying a house will be far away. Xiaoshan, I wonder if you still remember what our father said when he was here."

Ruihe searched through his memory and finally found what the original owner's father said in his memory when he was seven years old.

"I wish I didn't have a diamond or a tile to protect myself from the rain!"

When the house was divided, Father Zhang's luck was as bad as a stinky ditch. He was not in the village, but was setting up a stall in the city to do business. When I came back, all the good houses and yards in the village had been allocated. So much so that after Mr. Zhang occupied the three mud houses in the row, he still remembered the regret and pain of missing out on a good house. Especially after several children were born one after another, he lived in a cramped and dilapidated house, which made him even more sad.

Zhang Dashan sighed: "Now that I have such a good opportunity to come forward, wouldn't my little brother be moved? Don't you want to think about all your father's wishes?"

Ruihe almost got in.

However, money is currently second only to reading in his heart, and his wariness immediately rises when money is mentioned. Zhang Dashan is right, but also wrong.

"I know my father's wish. Well, I'll buy the house. Anyway, which of us two brothers will buy it? Dad will be happy."

Zhang Dashan's face turned really dark now, and he slammed the door loudly when he left. Rui He was even more confused. The behavior of these two couples was so unreasonable. Two hundred yuan! Could it be that they could borrow it with just a few words? Do you think highly of yourself, or do you think he is a fool?

System 460 saw the host muttering and couldn't help but said: "They saw the original person too clearly. I didn't expect that you are not him now."

Ruihe suddenly realized it and felt even more pity for the original person. Isn’t that what the original body was like? After the market reopened a few years later, the number of people doing business increased several times. He was originally a hard-working person, and after the market relaxed, he often went out to do business during slack periods.

For example, riding to Ximi City, which is 40 kilometers away, to pick up carambola and selling it back, or riding to Rao'an to pick up rice and selling it back to earn the price difference of 20 to 30 cents per catty. It takes more than 200 kilometers to go back and forth. In those days, the roads were uneven, and although cycling was faster than walking, it was not comfortable. In this way, Zhang Xiaoshan worked hard to save the money. Until he was thirty years old, Zhang Xiaoshan was really relieved that all of it would be handed over to Zhang Dashan at home for safekeeping.

Honest, straightforward and simple-minded.

Isn't this what Zhang Xiaoshan looks like in Zhang Dashan's eyes?

"I am Xu Ruihe, not Zhang Xiaoshan." Ruihe sighed and put the matter behind him. As for buying a house, he will not buy it. What he said to Zhang Dashan is not an excuse. He really plans to go to middle school in the second half of next year, just in time for the autumn semester, so that he can start studying middle school courses again.

To help someone with a hand, it’s the hand that’s helping you, not your entire wealth. It does not mean that he will be short of money to study next year. Even if he does not study, he will not be able to lend most of his wealth to Zhang Dashan to buy a house.

The day of Xu Caiheng's wedding soon came, and Ruihe went over early to help. The place where the wine was placed was in the same alley as the bride Zhang Qingnan's house. Ruihe found the place after asking around after arriving at Xiaogangjiao. The old woman who showed him the way smiled and said: "Zhang Sheng's fifth daughter is lucky in this town. The new son-in-law bought a house in Chiyu Lane to marry a wife, and the married daughter lives in the same alley. How wonderful. Wow."

When they arrived at Xu Caiheng's newly bought house, Ruihe handed the gift to Xu Caiheng. Xu Caiheng took his gift and led him to the banquet with a smile on his face: "We are all from this village, don't be embarrassed. Let’s laugh with everyone.”

Rui He felt timid, and facing several pairs of shining eyes, he greeted with a shy smile: "Hello, Auntie Gui, hello to Aunt Seventh Cousin, hello to Aunt Shufen, hello to Aunt Zhi..."

To save his life, Mr. Xu actually led him to a table of female relatives. At first glance, Rui He seemed to know them all. After a round of greetings, the elders all laughed and greeted him.

This one said: "Hey, Xiaoshan has grown so big? You were only this tall a few years ago, but now you are tall and handsome!"

The one said: "A little too thin. I heard that you work in a bamboo factory. Are you exhausted?"

Someone else answered: "How much money can I make in a month?"

"Ouch, is Xiaoshan seventeen or eighteen? It's time to get a wife!"

Rui He, one of the two older children, listened to the elders' questions getting more and more tricky. When they heard them asking if they had a partner, their faces turned red.

"Oh, look how red your face is. Don't be shy. You should get married when you are older."

While he was talking, an aunt came to pinch his face, pretending to be surprised: "My face is so smooth!"

"Hahaha!"

Everyone present burst into laughter. Ruihe saw other arms reaching out to touch his face, and instinctively held his face with both hands.

There was even louder laughter, and Rui He almost cried.

Xu Caiheng walked into the house holding the bride's hand, personally led the bride to the room and asked her to sit down, and then the bride's family also delivered the dowry and decorated the room.

After the bride's relatives were seated, the banquet began.

At the table, everyone ate and chatted, saying that the wedding was decent, that Zhang Sheng got a good son-in-law, that the dishes were good, and that the host family was willing to spend money, etc.

The dishes were indeed rich, with six dishes on the table, two of which were meat dishes, namely tofu minced meat soup and a steamed crucian carp, and two other sweet dishes, namely a combination of sweet potatoes and taro, and a sweet soup of ginkgo, lotus seeds and Euryale. The remaining dishes were fried potatoes and stir-fried cabbage. Each dish was served in a large bowl, and the quantity was sufficient.
