My sister must have gone to show off her new clothes to her friends.
However, it is very likely that happiness will turn into sorrow.
According to the normal course of development, if she came back after dark, she would probably be beaten, and her clothes would definitely be dirty.
Boys are not so enthusiastic about clothes. Wan Jun looked at Wan Feng's bag and hoped that there might be something good in it.
The bag did contain good stuff, a tape recorder and a few tapes and a box of batteries.
"radio!"
Wan Feng's family has a Panda brand radio, which is just a little smaller than this tape recorder and looks very similar. No wonder Wan Jun thought of the tape recorder first.
"This is a tape recorder. I brought it back for Dad to listen to. And here's a digital watch. Mom gave it to you."
"Xiaoer, go out and play for a while, then go to the yard and tell your dad that your brother is back."
Wan Jun put two pieces of candy in his pocket and ran out.
"Feng'er, tell me honestly, how much do these things cost?"
"Why do you ask that?"
"No, you have to tell me how much these things cost. Where did you get the money from?"
Wan Feng was speechless. What was his mother thinking about? How could I rob a bank?
"These two bottles of wine cost three dollars and eighty cents, this Daqianmen is four dollars and sixty cents a piece, and the Dazhongjiu is five dollars and fifty cents a piece. The candies and other things cost a little over ten dollars in total, and that's it. These clothes were made by Luan Feng, so I didn't spend any money on them."
"What are these tape recorders and electronic watches?"
"The tape recorder is less than seventy dollars, and the digital watch is just over ten dollars."
Zhu Min slumped down on the kang. These things cost more than 100 yuan, which was equivalent to two months' salary of Wan Feng's father.
Wan Feng saw his mother's frightened expression and laughed.
"Mom, you're so scared over just a hundred bucks. If I give you another handful of cash, will you cry?"
"Where did you get this money from? Tell me the truth."
"Didn't you give me five dollars when you came back after the Chinese New Year last year?"
Zhu Min nodded.
"I used the five yuan to buy picture books, over fifty of them, which I rented out to children in all corners of the country for a penny each. By the time school started in March, I had over a hundred picture books, which I rented out to my classmates..."
Wan Feng told him about how he rented picture books, collected broken glass, sold fish and popsicles, and how he and Luan Feng made and sold clothes.
Zhu Min was stunned. Is this still her son?
"Does the country allow you to do these things?"
"The country's policies have relaxed now. It's no longer the time to cut off the capitalist tail like in the 1970s. As long as it's not illegal, the country not only ignores it but supports it. Now Black Lagoon, Warriors, Great Britain, and Qingshan have all opened markets. From this aspect, you can see the country's attitude."
Zhu Min breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Wan Feng's explanation. She was sure that it was not stolen or robbed.
"See this digital watch? I bought it from a wholesaler for fifteen yuan, and I'm selling it for forty to fifty yuan."
Wan Feng didn't tell his mother that he was just a third-level wholesaler because he was afraid that his mother's heart couldn't bear it.
Zhu Min was shocked again. Can you make dozens of yuan by selling a watch?
"So how much did you earn in total? Five hundred or one thousand?"
"I'm afraid I'll scare you if I take it out, Mom. Please close the windows and doors so no one else can see."
Zhu Min got up and closed the windows and doors.
"Your son earned all this through legitimate means. Don't be afraid!"
"Mom, don't be afraid!"
Wan Feng untied his belt, opened the secret compartment, and took out a bundle of ten-yuan Great Unity notes from the compartment, then took out another bundle, and then another bundle.
A total of five bundles were taken out.
Wan Feng stuffed all the money into his mother's arms.
Zhu Min was stunned by the money. How much was it? A bundle of ten yuan was one thousand yuan, and five bundles was five thousand yuan! Five thousand yuan? Five thousand yuan!
Wan Feng's father was a third-level agricultural worker, with a monthly salary of 47 yuan, which was only more than 500 yuan a year. His son took out ten years' salary of his father in one go!
this……
"Mom! You won't keep holding me like this, will you? I think you should put the money in the box."
"Yes! Put it in the box!"
Zhu Min stood up and was about to put it in the box, but after thinking for a moment, he said, "It can't be put in the upper box, it should be put in the lower box."
Wan Feng's family had two large boxes with iron corners, which was standard equipment for families in this area at the time.
Because of the limited space in the house, they are not placed in parallel, but stacked up together.
Zhu Min thinks that putting it in the upper box is not safe and should be put in the lower box.
Wan Feng had no choice but to get off the kang and move the box away.
Zhu Min took out the key, opened the box below, stuffed the money at the bottom of the box, and then locked the box.
Next, putting the key became the top priority. It felt unsafe to put it here and it also felt unsafe to put it there. For a moment, I was at a loss.
Wan Feng looked at it and shook his head. He had only taken back 5,000 yuan. If he had taken back 100,000 yuan, his mother would probably have to stay up all night guarding the box with a kitchen knife.
She should be given something to do, or she'll be wandering around until dark.
"Mom! I want to eat your steamed buns and stir-fried shredded potatoes. Add more soup. I want to eat the buns with the soup. I'm sleepy, so I'll take a nap first. Call me when the meal is ready."
After saying that, Wan Feng yawned loudly, grabbed a pillow and lay down on the kang.
Riding in a car is the most tiring thing. It is impossible to sleep well. Wan Feng didn't get much good sleep on the way and was really sleepy. He fell asleep as soon as his head touched the pillow.
When he was woken up by his sister pinching his nose, it was already time for dinner.
