(Thanks to Dapanzha for the 1,000-coin reward)
In order to avoid suspicion, Wan Feng left Yawan and went home more than ten minutes after Luan Feng left.
He walked very slowly, his mind was still in chaos, and he seemed to be in a dream.
What happened during this period of time was full of drama. The originally peaceful world was changed into a mess because of a river flood.
If it weren't for a woman's decisive and crazy action, he, who had been sailing smoothly, would have almost passed away on this sunny afternoon.
Wan Feng walked while shaking his head. This crazy woman broke into his heart in a domineering and unreasonable way. Will I become a henpecked husband in the future?
Although it was a false alarm and I am still very scared when I think about it now, it may not be a bad thing for Wan Fenglai who has been reborn. There will be not only human disasters but also disasters on the road ahead. How can you see the rainbow without going through the wind and rain? No one can expect to succeed easily.
I hope this disaster is just an episode in his life, and it would be best if such a thing does not happen again in the future.
Because Wan Feng was only wearing shorts, he sneaked into the house through the back door when he returned home. As soon as he entered the house, he heard his grandmother in his grandfather's room talking to someone very loudly.
Wan Feng secretly returned to the room where he and his uncle lived, found a pair of pants to put on before coming out.
Wan Feng found out that the person talking to grandma was his second aunt who lived in Cuitun. He went over to say hello and then listened to his second aunt talk about family matters.
My uncle who worked at the cement factory was fired and now has no work to do at home. My second aunt came home to complain.
Second Aunt was crying and seemed to be in a state of collapse.
"How are we going to live from now on?"
Women are just pretentious. Can't we just live like this? There are big guys when the ground collapses, and there are short guys when the ground sinks. What's so scary about that?
"Second Aunt, what's wrong with that? Didn't we get through it the same way before?"
"Now your uncle is unemployed, and Cui Tun doesn't make much money a year. How can we still make ends meet?"
It’s just a loss of income, no big deal.
"Go back and tell my uncle to come work at the Wahou Brick and Tile Factory tomorrow. It just so happens that the Wahou Brick and Tile Factory is short of workers. By the end of the year, I guarantee that my uncle can take home 300 yuan."
Second Aunt's tears evaporated in the blink of an eye. She looked at Wan Feng in astonishment: "Take three hundred? Are you dreaming?"
My uncle only earns a little over 200 yuan a year working in a cement factory.
Three hundred yuan is still the most conservative estimate. If all the bricks and tiles from the brick and tile factory are sold as planned, three hundred yuan is only the minimum guarantee.
"Go back and tell my uncle to go to the brick factory tomorrow to work. I'll take care of it."
Wan Feng changed his clothes and rode his bike to Xu Bin's house. Xu Bin's family had enough glass to fill a car, and he planned to take advantage of his free time in the afternoon to send the broken glass to the wire drawing factory.
The pile of broken glass in Xu Bin's house was indeed quite large. While Yang Hong's tractor was loading the glass, Xu Meilin, who had been playing somewhere, came back covered in dirt.
Xu Meilin bit her fingers and stared at Wan Feng.
Wan Feng was in a complicated mood at this moment. In his previous life, he and Xu Meilin had a four-year relationship. Looking back now, it seemed as if all those little details happened just yesterday.
That was a love that he would never forget.
"Don't bite your fingers anymore, okay? Look how dirty your hands are! They're even dirtier than chicken feet. They're full of bacteria. If you put them in your mouth, they'll all go into your stomach and bite your intestines. Do you know what bacteria are?"
Xu Meilin shook her head.
"It's just a bug, just like Sister Hua."
Sister Hua is the common folk name for ladybugs.
Xu Meilin's face turned pale and tears were about to come out.
Wan Feng sighed and took Xu Meilin to the supply and marketing cooperative, where he bought her a lot of delicious food. He was not stingy at all with anything that money could buy, until Xu Meilin could no longer hold him.
The nine-year-old girl had no idea why Brother Feng bought her so many good things today.
These two bought the girl a new set of clothes.
After delivering the broken glass, Wan Feng went to his second aunt's house. Unexpectedly, his second aunt came back early after complaining.
My uncle Wu Yong was skeptical about the fact that the Wahou Brick and Tile Factory could earn 300 yuan a year.
"Not one year, but from now until the end of the year."
Wan Feng was speechless about his uncle Wan Feng. His uncle was also a warlike person. He was fired from the cement factory this time because of a fight with his colleagues.
A relative of a section chief in the factory was usually quite arrogant and loved to bully the workers. Wu Yong didn't like him so he kicked the guy out and went home in glory.
"Half a year? That's impossible."
"Is it possible that you'll know after working there for half a year? You don't think I'm kidding you, do you? And I'm warning you not to fight in the brickyard. If you get a prick on your hand, rub it on the bricks. You'll be fined for fighting."
Wan Feng didn't know whether his second uncle had come to work. He had gone to the street on a tractor early in the morning. Old Liangtou could only sell three or four melons at most, so he had to seize this last opportunity.
He could earn more than 20 yuan from a cart of melons, which was a figure that would shock countless people in 1980.
Jinwahou dispatched two carts and a large team of tractors to deliver goods to the street. One horse-drawn cart pulled tiles, and the remaining cart and tractor pulled bricks.
The brigade's tractors earn one yuan and two cents in freight fees. For the time being, they have decided to make two trips, each carrying one thousand red bricks, and the loaders and unloaders will be provided by the people in Wahou.
Because the tractor ran fast, Wan Feng wanted to lead the way, so he took the tractor to the county hospital first.
Xia Qiulong was already waiting here. Besides Liu He, there was also a middle-aged man and the two young men who helped Wan Feng look after the place yesterday.
He arranged for Liu He to lead the tractor to the construction site and sit under a tree and chat with Wan Feng.
"I found the black market. It's in an alley behind the farmers' market, right by the Hongshui River, every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday from around 1:00 to 2:00 p.m.."
"Do you need someone you know to take you to the black market?"
Xia Qiulong nodded: "This is the guide I found for you, Brother Zhao, and this is my brother Wan."
"Your brother?" the man called Brother Zhao asked doubtfully.
"Brothers, we've shared life and death together."
After hearing the word "fate", Brother Zhao, who had originally had a lazy look, immediately became serious, and his gaze towards Wan Feng also changed.
"Hello, Brother Zhao!"
"Since you are Brother Xia's brother, I will call you brother. Brother Wan, why are you looking for the black market?"
"Brother Zhao, we'll discuss what I want to buy later. I want to know what kind of tickets are available on the black market."
Brother Zhao didn't answer immediately and his eyes flickered.
In 1980, the country would turn a blind eye if you did other business, but reselling various stocks would definitely be considered speculation and profiteering. It is normal for Brother Zhao to be wary.
Xia Qiulong interjected at the right moment: "Don't worry, my brother. Our family is well-established in the countryside and there's nothing wrong with that."
Xia Qiulong's words seemed to dispel Brother Zhao's concerns.
