Meng Sheng looked at his brother and said with inexplicable pride, “Okay, don’t worry.
With a tricycle, it is more convenient to go to the city. I will definitely come here every few days.
The city has more supplies than the village, and my wife likes to eat all kinds of delicious food. If nothing else, I have to go out often to buy food to feed her!"
Meng Chao: ········.
The goal was achieved, but I felt a little upset.
He was a little reluctant to marry this younger brother whose heart and eyes were filled with his wife.
After a long while, he said speechlessly, "Can you be a little more promising?
All you think about all day is wife, wife, and you're not ashamed! "
Meng Sheng didn't take his brother's words to heart at all. Who said he didn't think about making money?
Taking advantage of the prophet's convenience, he can invest some money from time to time at his leisure, and the future returns will definitely not be much less than what his brother would get if he worked hard.
Besides, why do you keep wondering what’s wrong with your wife all day?
How could his brother, an old bachelor, understand the joy of hugging and feeding his wife?
Besides, he has other things on his mind.
Meng Sheng reached into his trouser pocket and pulled out two passbooks, handing them to Meng Chao, saying, "One is my contribution, 30,000 yuan, and you help to look after the incoming and outgoing goods.
One is a deposit of half a year's salary. I said I would hire two people as bodyguards for you. They will arrive with Brother Hou and the others tomorrow morning.
They are comrades introduced by Brother Hou. I heard that they are all injured and retired. They may have some physical defects, but they are good at fighting. This is given to them, 500 yuan per person per month.
Brother Hou will introduce you to the job tomorrow, and you will be responsible for paying the salary.
When you go out, they can pay more attention to your safety.”
Upon hearing this, Meng Chao suspected that his second brother was too bothered by the trouble, but he was still deeply moved. For a moment, he felt that he could still have this younger brother.
After the two brothers finished talking, they went back to their rooms to rest.
Time flies, and it's a new day again.
In the morning, Meng Sheng did not sleep until noon as usual. Instead, he got up early and took Feng Yijia to the street to buy things.
The convoy passed through the county town today, and the tricycles they bought are about to arrive.
After being out for so long, it’s time to go back to the village.
After being away for ten days, I have to be on guard against my father-in-law missing his daughter so much that he comes to the city.
If that fragile and brittle soul is hit by a large amount of life and yang energy, it might be in great danger.
Wouldn’t my wife cry to death then?
So, the couple agreed last night that they would return to the village after getting the car.
With powerful means of transportation, this time when they went out to the street, in addition to buying some daily necessities, they focused on building materials.
Now that we have no worries about food and clothing, we should improve our living conditions.
The two courtyards at home have enough houses and the courtyards are big enough. The stone and adobe walls were built not long ago and are just barely adequate.
It's just a yellow mud floor with a thatched roof. It's not very clean or solid. When it rains continuously, it rains heavily outside and drizzles inside. The ground is almost muddy, and there is no decent and convenient shower room.
The two planned to get some bricks and tiles back to pave the floor and replace the roof, and then build a clean toilet like in the city.
The county town is not big, and Feng Yijia and Meng Sheng had already toured it a few days ago.
It is clear what is available and what is for sale.
This time I paid and placed the order directly at the customer's door, which was very quick.
It was just past nine when I got home and finished everything.
Chen Hongxing and Meng Chenglin rarely set up a stall today. They worked together to cook a pot of tea eggs and spread a large bag of meat patties.
Meng Chao had already packed up and was looking at the half-sack of freshly prepared food on the table while listening to his mother chatter.
“The meatloaf and eggs are much more prepared.
You will have to share the food with others. When you are away from home, you have to build good relationships with others.
Don’t be stingy when it comes to meals, and treat others when necessary.
Be sweet-mouthed, loose-handed, and have good relationships, then people will be willing to help you when you need them.
········”
A man who has always been stingy is teaching his son to be generous in every word and sentence.
Meng Chao's eyes turned red after hearing this.
Meng Chenglin also reminded him worriedly: "Whether you have money or not, you can still live on.
Whether or not you can make money is not the point, the important thing is to come back in one piece."
The atmosphere at parting was somewhat solemn. Meng Sheng pulled his wife inside and smiled, interrupting, "Dad, Mom, is there any meat pie and egg for Ikea and me?
We have to go back to the village today, and we won’t see each other for a while.
You and Dad can't be like your grandparents and only favor the eldest child.
Otherwise I won’t do it!”
These words left the three of them speechless.
The couple has been to all the restaurants in the county recently, so why would they care about this little egg and meat pie?
Chen Hongxing glared at her son and said, "I am partial, what do you want?"
Meng Sheng walked over and grabbed two pancakes, handed one to Feng Yijia and put the other into his own mouth. While eating, he said, "Ten fingers are of different lengths. I was born with the shortest one, so what else can I do?
Just accept it, it's my bad luck to have such biased parents."
A few jokes made the atmosphere in the room much more relaxed.
At this time, car horns were heard outside.
Then, a loud and familiar voice was heard: "Meng Chao, Meng Sheng!"
Yes, Hou Qunying and the others have arrived.
The whole family hurried out to greet them.
On the road outside the house, Hou Qunying was directing people to unload tricycles. Seeing people coming out, he said directly without any hesitation: "There are many people in the city at this time, and it is difficult for the convoy to enter the city. They are all waiting outside the city.
We can't delay here any longer. Has Meng Chao packed up?
Pack up, let's unload the car and leave immediately!"
When the group heard this, they swallowed back their words about inviting the person to come in and sit down.
Meng Chao turned around and went back to get his luggage, while Meng Sheng hurried forward to hand over the car-related matters to someone.
It was over. Without saying a word, he watched Hou Qunying drive away in a truck with his men in a hurry.
Feng Yijia stood by the tricycle, looking around for a while, then seemed to remember something and asked Meng Sheng, "Didn't you say Brother Xiao and the others were going south with us? Why aren't they here?"
Meng Sheng stroked the cold car body under his hands, with an expression of both satisfaction and heartache on his face.
I am satisfied with the car's solid materials, but I feel bad that today's mechanical products are so expensive compared to wages and agricultural products.
A thing like this costs several thousand dollars, and its price will be almost the same as it will be decades later.
Hearing his wife's question, his face turned gentle in an instant, and he replied with a smile: "Brother Xiao and his men have already brought a truck full of things and are waiting outside the city!"
