Chapter 73

Tang Qingqing brought Tang Xingqiang to the commune. Old Lady Wu and Zhao Dahua wanted to take Tang Xingwang along as well, and even Tang Jianjun was tempted.

Although I don’t know how big Wang Heizi’s business is, if I can make some money before the New Year, I can have a better year.

Besides, if a kid could make money, Tang Jianjun thought that if he went, he could make more.

Tang Qingqing refused without hesitation, "Whether Wang Heizi can recruit Tang Xingqiang is one thing. If it's really that easy to make money, why would he bring our family instead of his own family?"

"Then how can you be so excited?"

"Because of my relationship, I like Xingqiang and I am happy to take him with me. If you think Xingqiang is not worthy, then I won't take anyone with me, so I won't be annoying."

Who dares to respond to this? Didn’t you see that Tang Xingqiang’s eyes were about to burst into anger?

So no one said anything.

Tang Xingwang had always been at odds with Tang Qingqing, and he was too embarrassed to ask her for help.

After Tang Qingqing and Tang Xingqiang left, Zhao Dahua complained to Tang Jianjun:

"This girl has grown stronger and stronger, and it's getting harder to control her! She's just like her parents, heartless and ungrateful!"

Tang Jianjun also felt very uncomfortable. Although he could receive money from his biological daughter from time to time, the amount was much less.

Although Tang Jianguo had transferred money directly to the old lady before and they didn't get a penny, it was used for them. After the old lady passed away, the money she saved was also left for them.

As a result, he was so heartless and ignored the old lady at all!

If it weren’t for my caring and thoughtful biological daughter, life would be even more unbearable.

"Humph, my brother is the most thoughtful one, otherwise he wouldn't have been adopted in the first place! I suffered such a huge loss, my whole life was wasted, and he was not willing to send me even a penny!"

Zhao Dahua: "The more I think about it, the more I feel wronged. I think we should go to his house and ask him clearly whether he still recognizes you as his brother and this family!"

"No, if we fall out, what will happen to Zhenzhen? We can't make things difficult for her."

Zhao Dahua fell silent immediately. After all, they didn't grow up by their side, and they weren't as successful as her current parents. If she made trouble again, they might not acknowledge her as their biological parents in the future.

Tang Zhenzhen will definitely be a successful person in the future. She and her husband and their three children are waiting for her to marry into a good family and lead them to live a good life.

"Zhenzhen is old enough to date. Once she finds a good family, it won't be too late for us to go over," said Tang Jianjun.

Zhao Dahua's expression suddenly became much better: "Speaking of this, what should we do about this marriage? She is so undisciplined now, relying on her ability and not afraid of us at all. Do you think we can get the betrothal money?"

Tang Jianjun glanced at her and said, "No matter how powerful we are, we are still her parents! If we don't give her enough betrothal money, she can forget about registering to get married! Oh, remember to hide the household registration booklet."

"Don't worry, I've hidden it all. But if she comes looking for it herself, given her personality, I'm afraid we won't get any benefit from it in the future."

Tang Jianjun was very unhappy when he mentioned this: "How did you teach your child to become like this?"

"Can you blame me for this? She was fine when she was little. But ever since she met that old Liu, I don't know what kind of magic potion he gave her, she has completely changed! After learning some skills, she has become even more self-righteous!"

The two of them often brought up this topic. Every time they saw Tang Qingqing disobeying discipline and taking all the good things from other people's homes, they couldn't help but bring it up and talk about it.

If they had known that Old Liu was so poisonous, they would never have let Tang Qingqing come into contact with him, but it was too late now.

"No matter what, we are her parents. If she doesn't listen, we will go and make trouble! Say she is unfilial and doesn't care about her parents. I don't think any school would want such a person. We have raised her for so many years. If we can't get the betrothal money, then we have worked in vain! This is unacceptable no matter how you put it."

Zhao Dahua was very happy to see Tang Jianjun's firm attitude.

Usually when the two of them talked about these things, Tang Jianjun always looked like, no matter how powerful a girl is, what can she do?

Tang Qingqing was so disrespectful to him this time that Tang Jianjun realized how powerful she was and started to become tough.

"Speaking of which, she is getting more and more beautiful now, and has a good reputation outside. I guess she will receive a lot of betrothal money in the future."

When Zhao Dahua thought of this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.

Tang Jianjun had a calm expression, but his heart was burning with passion.

On the other side, Tang Qingqing handed Tang Xingqiang over to Wang Heizi.

Wang Heizi looked Tang Xingqiang up and down, with contempt on his face: "You want to get involved with me? Are you worthy?"

Tang Xingqiang's eyes were firm, and he was not scared away at all by this put-down.

"Whether I am worthy or not, you will know after you take me to work for two days! No, just one day is enough!"

"Oh, you are quite ambitious."

"I not only have ambition, I also have ability. What you can do, I can do too!"

"Okay, I'll give you a basket of sunflower seeds later. If you can sell them all today, I'll take you with me."

Tang Qingqing couldn't help but frown: "It's so late now, isn't the time too tight?"

It's already three or four in the afternoon. It's winter and people don't go out much at night. There are no pedestrians on the streets, so it's hard to sell melon seeds.

There are still people coming and going in places like cinemas, but these places have long been occupied by others, and it is difficult for newcomers to get a share of the pie, and they might even get beaten up.

Wang Heizi's test was obviously intended to make things difficult for people.

Wang Heizi didn't give Tang Qingqing face, and said: "Anyway, this is my rule. Anyone who wants to hang out with me must pass the test. If you can't pass, just go back to where you came from."

Wang Heizi did not lie. His business was growing bigger and bigger, and he could no longer hide it from his family.

A few days ago, various relatives said they wanted to hang out with him, and he couldn't refuse so he just agreed, but they had to pass this test.

If you pass, stay. If you fail, get out.

Otherwise, if he is gifted and looks as tall and strong as Tao Dazhuang, with infinite strength, he can also make an exception.

Tang Xingqiang pursed his lips, "I took it!"

Wang Heizi raised his eyebrows, "Not too bad, I'll get you a basket later, and I won't make it hard on you, I'll only fill half the basket for you, I'm giving you a break for Sister Qing's sake."

Tang Xingqiang didn't try to be stubborn and just said thank you.

Tang Qingqing and Tang Xingqiang walked out of Wang Heizi's house together. Tang Qingqing couldn't help but worry:

"You are a stranger in this place, how are you going to sell it?"

This was Tang Xingqiang’s first time in the commune and he wasn’t familiar with anywhere.

Tang Qingqing knew nothing about doing business and never got involved in the business of Wang Heizi and his friends. She just listened to what they said and had only theories but no practice.

Furthermore, according to the rules, she could lead the way but could not help with planning.

"Let's go directly to the company and sell it." Tang Xingqiang already had an idea. "Sister, take me to the machinery factory. I heard that the machinery factory has the best efficiency and a lot of workers."

Tang Qingqing didn't say anything and took Tang Xingqiang directly to the machinery factory.

Tang Xingqiang was not idle along the way. As soon as he saw people, he started shouting. His little mouth chattered and his words were in a series.

If he sees someone who looks friendly, he will take the initiative to ask the other person if he wants to buy some melon seeds, without any shame at all.

It was like I had done it many times before. I didn’t need any mental preparation and entered the salesperson state in a second.

Tang Qingqing was very impressed with this younger brother. He was indeed a pyramid schemer, with such a thick skin.

It’s just the most common melon seeds, which are praised to the skies, as if eating them can make one ascend to heaven and become an immortal.

Although the advertising slogan is extremely exaggerated, some people still buy into it and think Tang Xingqiang is very interesting, so they pay for it.

Along the way, Tang Xingqiang actually sold quite a lot of melon seeds. Basically, he could sell a cup of melon seeds by targeting one.

Tang Qingqing felt that Tang Xingqiang also had the advantage because of his good looks.

He looks well-behaved and clever, and is very likable to look at. People don't feel bored with him and are happy to listen to his nonsense.

Many people were amused by him, and his actions were quite generous.

Melon seeds are not an expensive food, a cup is only five cents, and can kill a lot of time.

Not only can it satisfy your hunger, but it can also fill your stomach. Many people like to eat it when they have nothing to do.

Wang Heizi’s goods are also good, each grain is plump and fried very fragrantly.

However, Tang Xingqiang didn't rush over to every pedestrian, he would deal with them based on the situation.

Tang Qingqing couldn't help but ask: "Why didn't you sell to the person who just walked by?"

"That person walked very fast and looked unhappy. I guess he was in a hurry. He definitely didn't have the time to buy melon seeds."

Tang Qingqing couldn't help but give him a thumbs up. His sensitivity was simply amazing.

If he were an adult, even if Tang Xingqiang was a few years older and had such observation skills, Tang Qingqing would not be so surprised.

But Tang Xingqiang is not even ten years old, and to have such observation skills, he is a little shrewd.

Moreover, he had never sold anything before and it was his first time in the commune. Many country people, not only children but also adults, were scared, but he was very open and not afraid at all.

He didn't need to adapt to the unfamiliar place at all, as if he had grown up here.

Before he even reached the machinery factory, Tang Xingqiang had already sold more than a dozen cups of sunflower seeds.

Walking into the machinery factory compound, Tang Xingqiang said to Tang Qingqing: "Sister, you don't have to follow me all the time. We can just meet here later."

Tang Qingqing was stunned. "It's okay. I don't have anything to do today anyway. I'll just keep you company."

"No, you're not easy to sell to me."

"Why?"

"Everyone sees me as a kid and thinks I'm funny, so they're more likely to support me."

What Tang Xingqiang didn't say was that he could perform better alone, so it would be more ridiculous to say that he had lost both his father and mother.

Tang Qingqing laughed, she actually became a burden.

"Okay, I'll wait for you at the snack bar at the door. Come find me when you're done selling."

Tang Xingqiang rolled his eyes and said, "Sister, if I sell out at mealtime, can you treat me to a bowl of noodles at that restaurant?"

"If you can sell out before seven o'clock, you can eat whatever you want!"

Tang Xingqiang suddenly became confident: "Sister, just wait!"

The two separated at the gate of the machinery factory, and Tang Qingqing went into the snack bar. It was not lunchtime, so there was not much business.

The snack bar owner saw her and greeted her warmly.

Since the opening, not only have more people popped up to set up stalls, but many have also opened shops.

With the emergence of these snack bars, many people no longer like to go to state-owned hotels because they think the service attitude there is too poor.

Tang Qingqing ordered a bowl of wontons. After eating, she did not leave and told the boss that she was sitting there waiting for someone.

The boss said cheerfully, "It's okay, sit anywhere you want. It's cold outside so you won't freeze if you wait inside."

When it was time for dinner, more and more people came into the store, and Tang Qingqing left tactfully, even though the boss tried to persuade her to stay.

At this moment, Tang Xingqiang came!
