Chapter 17 Stubborn Old Man
After Jiang Xiaobai finished speaking, the courtyard became quiet, and the accountant's eyes kept turning on Jiang Xiaobai.
I don't know if I just talked too much in one breath, or if I was excited, my chest kept rising and falling.
"Liu Aiguo, go get bottles and cans for Aunt Zhang and her family and let them take them back. Everyone present today is a witness. I, Jiang Xiaobai, speak with every word, and I will never break my promise. We will never cause trouble to the village if we know it."
After Jiang Xiaobai finished speaking, he turned around and returned to the house. After Liu Aiguo gave someone a bottle of can, the crowd slowly dispersed. The village accountant Goudan's face turned green and red, and he turned and left.
After the accountant Goudan left, Jiang Xiaobai thought for a moment and turned to Liu Aiguo and said, "Go and call everyone into the room."
Soon all the educated youths came to the room. Fifteen educated youths crowded the room, but there was no noise. They were all looking at Jiang Xiaobai.
Jiang Xiaobai looked at everyone's eyes and said: "Everyone has seen what happened today. So much of our movements are from the same village. We can't hide it from each other. Once we make money and live a better life, it is inevitable that some people will be jealous.
This is also normal.
But we cannot give up the money we have worked so hard to find. Now we can eat meat and drink wine every day. That is what we earned by taking the risk and going out to beg for food if we failed. There are fifteen of us.
The total is only one hundred yuan. After paying the deposit for the cans and bottles, there are only more than ten yuan left.
I don’t know if you still remember what the people in the village said about us at that time. They were a bunch of prodigal sons. They were waiting to see our jokes. Seeing that our life is getting better today, they wanted to join us. Why didn’t anyone...
"
Jiang Xiaobai said, and everyone who was a little confused by the accountant Goudan just now also came to their senses.
"Young man, I understand what you said. I let that bastard fool me just now, and I will never let that guy enter the yard in the future." Liu Yuan said bitterly.
"Yes, this accountant is nothing. Fortunately, I almost believed him just now..." Zhang Yanmei said to Goudan just now that her eyes were red. If there weren't so many people around just now, Zhang Yanmei would have wanted to persuade Jiang Xiaobai.
"Xiao Bai, don't worry, we won't let that old guy fool you in the future. This is also here. If this were in our northeast, I wouldn't be able to kill this old guy..." Wang Peng said with his eyes widened.
"Okay, it's a good thing that they came to make trouble today. They gave us a heads up and took precautions in advance, but some plans have to be brought forward," Jiang Xiaobai thought for a while and said. It has been smooth sailing for this period of time, and it almost gave way.
He forgot what era this was, and there were still some things that he needed to be careful about.
"Starting from tomorrow, the sales team will temporarily stop, and everyone will make cans. If the two production workshops are not enough, we will free up two more houses, and the gay men will squeeze in. If it is not possible in the summer, they will spread out mats in the yard at night.
Sleep. Tomorrow Liu Aiguo and I will go to the county to get the remaining cans and bottles..."
After Jiang Xiaobai finished speaking, everyone dispersed. While it was still early, some people had already gone to vacate the house. Now the days are getting better and better, and Jiang Xiaobai's prestige is getting higher and higher.
If we say that at the beginning, people were interested in Jiang Xiaobai because among the educated youth who came to Jianhua Village, Jiang Xiaobai and his group had the most children from the Longcheng Factory in Shanxi Province, and Wang Xiaojun and other factory boys supported Jiang Xiaobai, so they responded accordingly.
Now Jiang Xiaobai has convinced everyone simply by virtue of his performance during this period, so Jiang Xiaobai said something and everyone rushed to vacate the room.
The next morning, before dawn, Jiang Xiaobai and Liu Aiguo set out. This time they brought scallion pancakes with them. They were much happier than the last time they ate corn pancakes.
After arriving in the town, Jiang Xiaobai asked Liu Aiguo to sell two packs of cigarettes and a few bottles of wine before getting on the bus to the county town.
This time it was a little faster than last time, but it was already noon when they arrived in the county seat. Jiang Xiaobai and Liu Aiguo rushed to the county glass factory, but they already saw the factory door open, and groups of workers filing out, although they were wearing gray clothes.
Work clothes from a few years ago, clothes that will never leave the door in future generations.
At this time, the workers were allowed to wear work clothes and go out of their way to deny their relatives. Workers at this time were very proud. Whose child worked in the factory, and said that the matchmaker could cross the threshold.
"Okay, stop running. I won't make the trip in the morning." Jiang Xiaobai stopped and gasped.
"Why are you two here? You got off work at noon, have you eaten?" The concierge, Old Man Wang, was getting ready to get off work. He saw Jiang Xiaobai and Liu Aiguo as soon as he left the factory. He had a deep impression of Jiang Xiaobai last time.
"Uncle Wang, our village is far away from the county," Jiang Xiaobai said, taking the two bottles of wine and cigarettes bought in the town from Liu Aiguo, and said with a smile: "Uncle Wang, it was thanks to you that we were able to handle the last matter.
OK, it’s just right. I have two bottles of wine at home, so I’ll bring them over to you.”
Uncle Wang looked at the two bottles of wine handed over by Jiang Xiaobai and swallowed involuntarily. He was a heavy drinker.
Although he works in a factory, his salary is not very high. The life of his wife and his wife is more than enough, and the girls are well married and he does not need to worry about it. However, the younger son has nothing serious to do all day long, and he has not even married a wife yet.
So he has to subsidize a little bit.
Therefore, apart from family expenses, there is not much left from the salary. Only during holidays can I have a few sips.
"That's not good, it's too expensive." Old Man Wang said insincerely.
"Uncle Wang, this is what we honor you with. Just take it." Jiang Xiaobai said and handed the thing into Uncle Wang's hand. He was not asking for anything.
I'm just really grateful to Old Man Wang. If it weren't for Old Man Wang, I probably wouldn't be able to find cans and bottles now, let alone sell cans.
"Okay, you two haven't eaten yet. Let me go home to eat with my old man. We'll talk about anything in the afternoon..." Old Man Wang took the things and looked at Jiang Xiaobai getting closer to him.
In fact, this is how the relationship between people comes about. With comings and goings, the relationship gradually gets better and the relationship becomes deeper.
"No need..." Jiang Xiaobai was about to refuse but was interrupted by Old Man Wang.
"My home is not far away. Eating a meal will definitely not delay your work. If you don't go, you are looking down on me, so I won't be able to collect the things." Old Man Wang glared and was about to return the things to Jiang Xiaobai.
