The car stopped on the side of the road not far away, Er Gouzi stayed there to watch, while Shen Xiangzhi and An Hongdou went to the train station to pick someone up.
When I arrived, I saw two brothers sitting on their luggage near the steps of the train station.
"Third brother, fourth brother..." An Hongdou called out and went to greet them happily.
"Little sister!" Brother An San quickly kicked Brother An Si, signaling him to get up quickly.
When two people arrived in a strange place, they were inevitably nervous. Now that they have seen their relatives, their hearts feel at ease as if they have suddenly settled down.
An Hongdou thought they must be tired after sitting on the train for such a long time, so she wanted to help them carry their luggage, but An Sige quickly snatched it back from her.
Are you kidding? There are two grown men there, how can they let a girl like my sister carry the luggage?
Several people walked back to the car together. Brother An San looked at the small truck in front of him in amazement, "This is the new car that Ergou bought. It's really good!"
If I felt uneasy when I came here, now it has been truly settled.
They don't expect to buy a car or a house within a few years. As long as they can make a little money, they will be satisfied.
During the ride in the car, the two brothers were still discussing that they knew their own abilities and would talk less and work more after arriving. They knew that Ergou did not even look for his biological brother but instead called the two of them because of their younger sister's face.
Otherwise, Ergou's mother has been asking Ergou to help his brother for the past few years, but Ergou has never caused trouble for himself.
Er Gouzi got out of the car and said after hearing this: "Don't be envious, Third Brother. Let's work hard in the future. We have a lot of strength, so why should we be afraid of not making money? It's only a matter of time before we buy a car and a house."
"Work hard, I will definitely work hard." Brother An San thought, looking at the small truck in front of him, his heart full of motivation.
There was a bench in the trunk of the car. After everyone sat down, the car drove back home.
Er Gouzi sent them to the door of their house and helped unload their luggage. He said, "Third brother, fourth brother, you should have a good rest for the next two days. I will send the car back first and come back with the details later."
"Okay, then go ahead and get busy. Just call us when you're ready to work." Brother An San waved his hand at him.
Carrying their luggage into the yard, they knew that this was their younger sister's current home, and they both looked obviously very satisfied.
No wonder everyone wants to move to the city. The city is really not comparable to their countryside.
An Changyue brought Dabao and the others out of the house, and was surprised for a while.
Brother An San and his friends came from home and brought a lot of things to An Hongdou, including mushrooms and fungus picked from the mountains, and pickles and fermented beans pickled by Old Lady An.
An Hongdou likes to eat fermented beans. She adds some chili peppers and stir-fries them in a pan. Whether she eats steamed buns or noodles, adding a little bit of it will make them delicious.
Er Gouzi sent the bike back and walked over again. As soon as he entered the door, he asked Chen Xiangzhi, "Brother-in-law, is there any way to get me a bicycle ticket? It's really inconvenient to go back and forth without a bicycle."
He used to drive a car in the factory and had nothing to do every day. Now that he is no longer working, he has more free time and finds it inconvenient to go out whenever he has something to do.
Or you can come here to borrow a car, but if you do it too often, it’s really not as convenient as buying one yourself.
Anyway, he doesn't need those two or three hundred dollars.
Brothers An San and An Si were very excited after hearing this and felt that their trip was not in vain.
Looking at Ergouzi, he seems to be doing quite well.
Not only did he just buy a truck, he also bought a bicycle. It doesn't seem like he is short of money at all.
"We have it at home. I'll ask Hongdou to give it to you later." Shen Xiangzhi said.
Er Gouzi went into the house and brought out a bench, and several people sat in the yard and talked about what they were going to do next, where they were going to go, and what they were asked to bring with them when they drove the car.
After all, it is impossible to come back in a day or two. It is not like when we were in the factory before where we could just load the goods and leave. They receive the goods and deal with them themselves, so maybe they can come back in a few days.
It is summer now, the spring harvest has just passed, and the autumn harvest is about to come. Ergouzi is preparing to go to the countryside to trade in grain.
He has not been idle during this period. He has already figured out where the land was distributed in the first half of the year. This time he plans to go there to collect grain and then sell it in the city.
The city has not yet abolished the bills, so the grain would definitely be in great demand, which gave him a good opportunity to take advantage of this loophole.
After they finished speaking, An Hongdou suggested, "Most of the country folk don't have bills, so they can't buy anything with money all year round. I think instead of using money to buy grain, you might as well do something to exchange for grain in the countryside."
Er Gouzi's brain was very quick, and he immediately understood what An Hongdou meant. After thinking for a while, he said, "I know that there is a lot of defective fabrics and clothes piled up in the warehouse of the garment factory. I'll go talk to Brother Zhu later."
Seeing that he had an idea, An Hongdou stopped talking and let him come in to get the bicycle ticket.
After giving him the receipt, An Hongdou said, "As usual, if you find anything good in the countryside, bring it back to me."
Er Gouzi understood what she was talking about, smiled and said, "Okay, I feel relieved with your words. Even if the grain business fails, you won't lose anything."
He wanted to leave, but after thinking about it, he couldn't help but ask, "Sister, tell me, you want so many antique jades and other things, will they really be valuable in the future?"
During this period, with the return of various big names, especially in the literary world, those things no longer have any value, but they are no longer worthless as before.
It was also at this time that Ergouzi understood the purpose of An Hongdou's collection of those things.
Although he didn't know how An Hongdou judged at that time, he knew that these things would be very valuable one day.
"Antiques are valuable in prosperous times, and gold is valuable in troubled times. Who can predict what will happen in the future? Whether it is valuable or not, my opinion does not count." What An Hongdou said was as good as nothing, but Ergouzi did not ask any more questions.
Antiques are valuable in prosperous times, and gold is valuable in troubled times. This is absolutely true.
But now, the troubled times have passed, but I don’t know whether my true self can come back.
Ergouzi had been looking for the things for An Hongdou for such a long time, and he did leave some for himself, but he hid them secretly, and even Zhao Xiaoyue didn't dare let him know.
But what he kept were jade, gold and the like. He didn't know anything about antiques, and unlike An Hongdou, he didn't have a man who knew about them, so he simply didn't want any of them.
Besides, he didn't have much money, and the amount he kept was not large, not even one percent of what An Hongdou had.
Er Gouzi went home as soon as he left. When An Sange and An Sige came, they had discussed it and said, "Hongdou, your fourth brother and I just arrived and don't have a place to live. We can only stay here for a few days. We are not familiar with this place. If you have time, take us to find a house tomorrow."
