Rebirth 1983: Back to the day when his wife and daughter died

"Mom, it smells so good. What did you cook tonight? Why does it smell like pork?"

At around six o'clock in the evening, Ma Youde returned home with his two children. Before he entered the house, he smelled the aroma of meat.

The greed in the two children's stomachs was instantly aroused. It had been a long time since they had smelled such a meaty aroma at such a close distance.

"This is the meat your uncle brought. Go wash it and get ready to eat." Xu Qin looked at her husband and children and said happily.

"Uncle sent it?" The two children obviously didn't believe it. After all, uncle Xu Yang had never sent anything, let alone meat, except for asking for money. However, children are children, and they just wanted to wash themselves up when they smelled the meat.

Mud on the body.

"Mom, what's going on? Is it really Xu Yang who sent it?" Ma Youde asked in disbelief.

"Dad, do I look like a liar? Really, Qinghan and Tangtang are also here today." Xu Qin happily told her husband about today's events.

Xu Yang's family has always been her concern, but now they are better. Her younger brother Xu Yang has gotten better, and Bai Qinghan and Tangtang's complexions are much better. What's more, her younger brother has paid off their debts today, and there is no big problem in the family anymore.

burden.

Listening to Xu Qin's words, Ma Youde was naturally very happy about Xu Yang's change...

the next day

Xu Yang got up as soon as dawn. After all, it was a tortoise eel weighing three to four hundred pounds. He had to get up early to pack it and eat some food to fill his stomach.

Two large wooden barrels contain eels and loaches respectively, and a large bamboo basket.

Add a few big sacks, all of which contain tortoises. These sacks and barrels were all borrowed from the villagers.

It seems that if you have to search carefully in the city, the best way to buy it is to buy a large wooden barrel that can hold tortoise eels and loaches.

After all, it’s just one village now, and there will definitely be more in the future.

He neatly tied the barrels and sacks with hemp ropes on the car.

After the meal was heated up, I drank a bowl of porridge. After I was full, I picked up the cart and walked towards the county seat.

Four hundred kilograms of stuff is really not light.

Xu Yang was thinking

Perhaps, after returning from this trip, it’s time to buy a donkey. Donkeys are relatively cheap.

Otherwise, he would always rely on manpower for transportation. After a long time, he would not earn much money, and his own body would collapse, so the gain would outweigh the loss.

All the way to the county town, he was really tired with four hundred kilograms of things. He walked and rested, and it took him four hours to get to the county town.

Xu Yang was already sweating profusely at this time, and it would have been impossible to pull him over if he hadn't relied on a frame truck.

Fortunately, I had already gone to the aquatic products supply and marketing cooperative the day before yesterday, and all the connections were established.

Xu Yang gritted his teeth, worked hard, pulled the cart, and successfully arrived at the door of the Aquatic Products Supply and Marketing Cooperative.

When the gatekeeper saw the young man who had smoked him from Hongtashan, he hurried over to help.

"I found another good cigarette."

With the help of the janitor, Xu Yang successfully pulled a cart of aquatic products to the supply and marketing cooperative.

When Master Jia saw that Xu Yang was coming, he naturally didn't delay at all. After all, this was arranged by Manager Li himself.

Walked on the weighbridge.

Bastard weighs 354 pounds

The eel is sixty-one pounds

A loach weighs ten pounds

After excluding costs, Xu Yang's profit is only about 123 yuan.

The aquatic product supply and marketing cooperative has formal procedures. Xu Yang took the approval slip to the accountant to settle the accounts.

The moment a thick stack of money notes was handed into my hand,

I just feel that I have never felt more relaxed. At this time, my whole body is already worth more than 200 yuan.

He carefully counted the money and put it in his pocket.

He also put away the large denominations neatly inside, and only took some small bills for use, and then pushed the trolley.

After leaving the Aquatic Products Supply and Marketing Cooperative, Xu Yang planned to deliver the food to the Xinhua State-owned Hotel in two days.

Then Xu Yang started to inquire about where barrels and sacks could be sold. The supply and marketing cooperative definitely didn't have them. Xu Yang had looked at them before.

After asking passers-by, Xu Yang finally found the large wooden barrels next to the Guangshan State-owned Dyeing and Weaving Factory, so Xu Yang bought two large wooden barrels and two large sacks.

Before he could load the barrels and sacks into the car, Xu Yang saw many workers gathered around the entrance of the state-owned dyeing and weaving factory.

This scene is very familiar, it looks like someone is going to cause trouble and demand wages.

Xu Yang knows that in recent years, many state-owned factories have suffered losses year after year due to problems within the system, internal management chaos, and market changes.

Private enterprise acquisitions.

Xu Yang tied the barrel and stepped forward to join in the fun. It was just as Xu Yang expected.

The factory had not paid wages for several months. The workers came to make trouble. After a while, a leader came forward, made guarantees, and brought in a lot of cloth.

I wanted to lower the salary, but obviously no one wanted it. After all, this thing can't be used as food, but after a long time of hard talking, the matter was settled.

However, when Xu Yang saw the cloth, his heart moved. The state-owned cloth factory in front of him could not pay wages, so it might be a good opportunity to pick up the slack.

You must know that in the mountainous villages alone, few people are willing to buy cloth.

The reason is that cloth is too expensive. The last time Xu Yang bought it, the linen cost 161 cents.

Better cloth costs 2 cents. If you still have cloth tickets, it costs at least a few dollars to make a piece of clothing.

In addition to occasionally buying a piece of cloth to make clothes when the conditions are slightly better,

Ordinary people don't repair any piece of clothing piece by piece, and only change into new clothes if they have no choice.

If you can get these resources at a low price, why worry about not being able to sell them? It just so happens that the car is relatively empty every time you go back.

He had an idea in his mind.

Pushing the trolley, we walked towards the dyeing and weaving factory.

………………

The gatekeeper of the dyeing and weaving factory was a middle-aged man in his forties who saw Xu Yang and thought he was a worker asking for money, so he stared at Xu Yang warily.

"Stop, the leader just said that he will find a way to not make things difficult for our brothers."

"Well……"

Seeing this, Xu Yang resorted to his old tricks again, stepped forward and handed him a cigarette.

Sure enough, when he saw Hongta Mountain, the middle-aged man's eyes lit up.

"Brother, for the sake of your cigarettes, to tell you the truth, it's useless for you to make trouble alone. I have inside information here. This salary will definitely not be paid for the time being.

Now the factory has no money, and the superiors don’t give any money. Let the factory find a solution on its own, and you must never say it was me.” For the sake of the cigarette, the middle-aged man said politely to Xu Yang.

"Ahem~ I'm not an employee there. I just want to ask if the cloth in your factory can be sold."

Hearing that Xu Yang was buying cloth, the middle-aged man was stunned. After all, he did not buy cloth at the supply and marketing cooperative.

Who would buy cloth in a factory, let alone a state-owned dyeing and weaving factory that is not open to the outside world.

"Brother, why are you buying cloth? You can buy a dozen to twenty feet of cloth directly from the supply and marketing cooperative, and we don't sell to retail investors."

"Not for sale?" Xu Yang frowned, obviously a little disappointed.

However, he thought for a moment, took out another cigarette and handed it to the doorman.

"Brother, I don't think you just paid low wages for cloth? Think of a way. I want more cloth. Is there any way you can sell it to me? A little more is fine, I can just keep it."

In the past, it was normal not to sell to retail investors because of the trouble and the small amount of money. There were also supply and marketing cooperatives.

But things are different now. The supply and marketing cooperative's cloth cannot be sold, the factory cannot pay wages, and the superiors have no energy to take care of it. It is left to the factory to find a solution. After all, not only the dyeing and weaving factories, but also many state-owned factories are on the verge of bankruptcy.

When the middle-aged guard saw Xu Yang handing him another Hongtashan, he smiled and said, "You boy, you really know how to behave."
