Chapter 251 250 Thief, Sweet Potato, Accident

city.

Although there is still a long time before the Chinese New Year, there is already a faint flavor of the New Year in the air. People can occasionally be seen performing Yangko in the streets and alleys, and there are also children setting off firecrackers.

Wang Yuan rode his motorcycle to the door of a store. As soon as he got off the car and walked in, a little man squatting in the corner with his hands clasped in his hands ran two steps and got on his motorcycle.

Take out the fake key and start tinkering with the keyhole directly.

The female clerk in the store saw it and her face changed, but she didn't dare to speak for fear of retaliation.

Wang Yuan noticed something was wrong from the clerk's expression, and when he turned around he jumped angrily:

"Hey! You dare to steal my car! You are looking for death!"

He quickly rushed out of the store with long strides and scooped up the thief.

Tu tu tu tu~

The motorcycle was also hit at this time, and its center of gravity became unstable and it fell to the ground. If it had been a few seconds later, the thief would have escaped on the motorcycle.

"You're too young to learn how to steal a car, right? I'll give you a shot, and then I'll give you a kick!"

"Oh, you dare to hit me!? Do you know who I am?"

""So cruel? I'll kick you a few more times!"

Wang Yuan was very angry that he almost lost his motorcycle. Once the motorcycle was taken away, it would be difficult to find it.

Then he kicked the feet of the young man who was cowering on the ground. When he saw the young man's hand reaching into his arms, he pinched the young man's wrist again.

Slowly pulling the other person's hand out of his arms, he found a knife in his hand.

"Hey, you took out the knife and wanted to stab me? That's fine, I'll take you to the Public Security Bureau now." Wang Yuan snatched the knife from the other person's hand.

The young man was only 16 to 17 years old. He was not afraid of being beaten, but when he heard that he was going to be sent to the Public Security Bureau, he got scared.

"Brother, I was wrong, just go around me this time... If you smoke, my dad will have to beat me to death if he knows I'm in trouble."

"What cigarette? It's the big front door."

Wang Yuanying looked at the young man for more than a minute, then smoked a cigarette and rode away. Another sentence came from the cold wind: "Don't do this business, otherwise it will be a matter of time before you get into trouble."

In the end, Wang Yuan gave up on sending the opponent into a trap, and did not want to make the opponent anxious.

As for the other party, it is very likely that he will steal other people's cars again. After all, once he has tasted how fast he can make money by fishing for side jobs, it will be difficult for him to work honestly again, and he can't control this.

This year is only 1992, and for more than ten years since then, public security has not been very good.

After buying all the things, I rode my motorcycle back to Wangjia Village. When I came to the intersection entering and exiting the village, I happened to see a white Nissan Baning van approaching.

The van suddenly stopped as it passed Wang Yuan. The window was lowered and it turned out to be Li Shen's purchasing manager.

"Wang Yuan, have you just come back? I bought 20 flying dragons and I was just wondering why I didn't see you at home."

"Well, I have some things to do in the city. Manager Li, please go slowly."

Manager Li glanced at Wang Yuan with envy again. Although he rode a four-wheeler and Wang Yuan rode a broken motorcycle, he knew that he was far less rich than Wang Yuan.

And because he followed Li Shen relatively late, he didn't even know that Wang Yuan and Li Shen had cooperated to open a chain of restaurants.

Just looking at the current surface, Li Shen is the owner of a luxurious hotel in the provincial capital. He is a rich man. His usual contacts are either officials or other rich people.

And Wang Yuan seems to be a farmer living in a remote village - of course Li Shen warned Manager Li not to offend Wang Yuan, so there was no story of pretending to slap him in the face.

Tu tu tu tu~

After returning home, the three dogs happily greeted Wang Yuan as usual.

"Woof woof~"

"Okay, okay, stop yelling and be honest."

After playing around with the dogs, Wang Yuan dusted himself off and went into the house, where he found his wife Li Yan counting money.

Put the green and white hundred-yuan bills on the kang, and count them slowly but seriously. In this era, the fourth set of RMB was still used, and the one-hundred-yuan bills were not red, but green and white.

On the front are four slightly overlapping portraits, and on the back is a landscape painting of Jinggang Mountain.

Sister-in-law Li Ping stood on the right side of Li Yan, looking at her sister counting the money with a longing face, while her daughter Xiaotingzi was already lying on the kang covered with a small quilt and sleeping.

"Have you finished counting? How about I count?"

"No, no, I'll give you some time to deposit it in the bank after counting." Li Yan tied the money with a rubber band and handed it to Wang Yuan happily.

The interest rates on bank deposits in this era were much higher than those in later generations. The interest rates vary from bank to bank, but the interest rate with a one-year dead date can generally reach 7% to 9%.

For three-year and five-year terms, the annual interest rate exceeds 10%.

In other words, if you save 10,000 yuan, the annual interest will be more than 1,000 yuan, which is very scary... Of course, what is even more scary is inflation. I am afraid that the things that 11,000 yuan can buy this year will be more than 1,000 yuan.

It's not as much as what I bought with 10,000 yuan last year.

The thought that flashed through Wang Yuan's mind was that many farmers did not believe in banks at all, and hid their money under water urns, under the kang mat, in the cracks of the bricks on the stove, or in mouse holes.

He is reluctant to spend money and really likes to save money.

It seems that the amount of money is not less, but in fact the purchasing power has been reduced too much. It can be said that the money is less - stolen by smart "thieves".

Sudden.

Xiao Tingzi, who was lying on the kang, turned over and opened her eyes to look at Wang Yuan drowsily, but she didn't want to get up and closed her eyes to continue sleeping.

Wang Yuan smiled and said: "Oh, the little pavilion is still sleeping. I just happened to buy some candies. The three of us ate all the candies while she was asleep."

"Pfft~"

The two sisters, Li Yan and Li Ping, both laughed, while Tengzi Tenglin suddenly felt no longer sleepy and ran towards Wang Yuan with his short legs full of excitement.

"Dad, I want to eat candy, hee hee~"

"Aren't you asleep?"

"I'm awake again, dad, just give me a piece of candy." I don't know who I learned this from, but at such a young age, Xiaotingzi could shake Wang Yuan's arm and act coquettishly.

Wang Yuan gave her two pieces of White Rabbit toffee. Xiaotingzi ate one piece and carefully put the other piece into his pocket, patting his pocket with satisfaction.

time flies.

A week has passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, Wang had just returned from a long trip to the countryside to catch a big market. His sister, Wang Xiaodie, was waiting for him in the courtyard early.

"Second brother! Have you bought the rubber band?"

Xiaodie ran to Wang Yuan with a face filled with anticipation. She had been growing taller and taller in the past two years.

"I bought it. Give it to your sister-in-law first, and ask her to pick up a piece and keep it to make clothes. The rest will be yours." Wang Yuan gave her a large ball of red rubber bands, and she immediately ran away holding it.

Returned to the house.

The game of rubber band jumping requires very long rubber bands, which many parents think is very wasteful and will not buy them for them. Xiaodie knew that her second brother Wang Yuan was rich, so she came to pester him.

It didn't cost much to buy a rubber band, so Wang Yuan bought it on the way to the market.

Of course, the elasticity of the rubber band will gradually disappear as the frequency of use increases. It is not sure how long the rubber band you bought this time can be used.

The sun was high in the sky, but the sunlight that shone on me seemed to be cold. Thick white snow covered the entire small village. Both the houses and the trees seemed to have gained several layers of weight.

"Brother Yuan is back from the market? What good things can you buy?"

Wang Hu was messing around in his yard. He bent over and opened his mouth to let out streaks of white air.

"Pork, snacks, canned food, sesame oil, rock sugar, and some small things like needles and thread that your sister-in-law asked me to buy."

"Pork? Buy pork? If you want to eat meat, just go to my dad's yard and have it cut. The pig I killed last time hasn't been finished yet."

Wang Hu's father is Wang Yuan's third uncle. He runs a pig farm and occasionally slaughters a pig himself.

Normally, Wang Yuan would only ask for meat if the third uncle offered it to him. The other party didn't say anything, so he rarely took the initiative to ask for meat.

"Buy some on the way... eh? Are you doing Gaha? Are you making clips?"

After taking a closer look, he discovered that Wang Hu was making iron clamps. There were big and small iron clamps. The small ones could clamp pheasants, and the big ones could clamp roe deer.

"Yeah, I don't know which little bastards who gave birth to babies without buttholes stole my clamp! I'm so angry, don't let me know who stole my clamp! Oh~ there's no other way.

I’ll make a few more myself.”

"Where did you put the clamp?"

Wang Yuan laughed instantly, but there was nothing he could do if something like this happened. It was just bad luck that all the clips were stolen.

"Over there in the west, there are wild boar footprints there. I thought I could catch a wild boar."

At this time, Li Yan called Wang Yuan in the house, and the latter returned to the house with the basket.

Li Yan was breastfeeding the little girl, while her sister Wang Xiaodie was playing with her rubber band. She found that Wang Yuan had bought a longer rubber band. This was really a happy worry.

"Is it too long? Then cut off a section."

"Don't cut it!"

The little girl couldn't bear to part with it. She regarded a simple rubber band as a treasure and couldn't bear to cut off a little bit: "I'll just use it like this, I'm leaving!"
