Chapter 146: Depart overnight
"Brother, it's time!"
"Brother, wake up! It's already five o'clock in the morning. Yesterday, people from the village committee came to inform us that we must meet at the village committee at 5:30 in the morning."...
Wang Qiang was drowsily asleep when he heard his twin sisters shouting outside the door.
"Is it five o'clock?"
He quickly sat up and agreed loudly, "It's coming!"
I quickly got out of bed, fumbled to light an oil lamp on the bedside table, then got dressed, put on my shoes, and went to the bathroom to wash up...
Wang Qiang moved quickly, and only about five minutes passed before he opened the door, walked out of the master bedroom with an oil lamp, and came to the large living room.
Two large baskets and a pole have been placed here, filled with some drinking water and baked food.
This is what Wang Qiang told Sister Wanjun to prepare last night.
There is no way, Wang Qiang is simply not used to eating in a messy place like Stone Town.
Since our home has such good conditions, it is of course better to bring our own food and tea.
Moreover, he planned to ride a tricycle and bring a big dog with him to protect a few girls and drive the cattle, sheep and horses he bought back on the way back.
Now that I have decided to ride a super tricycle to Shitou Town, which is sixty miles away, of course I have to bring enough things to avoid the inconvenience of going out.
"Brother, come to the kitchen for breakfast."
Wan Jun's voice sounded in the large kitchen. Two oil lamps were lit in the large kitchen and the living room on the second floor, and the lights were bright and bright.
Several girls have been looking forward to going to Stone Town to buy cattle, sheep and horses today.
So they got up early today, happily made breakfast, and then went to wake Wang Qiang up.
Because I was in a hurry, my breakfast only lasted about ten minutes and was already over.
The twin girls and Chen Lin quickly cleaned up the kitchen, while Wan Jun walked to the living room with Wang Qiang.
She picked up a small bag from the big coffee table and handed it to Wang Qiang, "Brother, bring two thousand yuan with you, is it enough?"
"enough."
Wang Qiang took the small bag containing the money with one hand, stuffed it into his pocket, and replied, "Adult cows and horses are more expensive, but we just buy some calves, which only cost tens of dollars each."
"Goats are cheaper. This trip to Stone Town cost more than a thousand yuan, which is a lot of money."
"Um."
Wan Jun felt relieved, nodded, and warned again, "Brother, you have to keep the money."
"I heard that in a place where three religions are mixed together, there are many thieves and gangsters."
She was a little worried, so she had to warn her again and again.
Today's two thousand yuan is enough to buy a piece of land in the county town and build a quite large three-story building.
For more than 90% of the families in the tea city, they cannot afford this money now.
Regardless of how urban people get married these days, it’s always a matter of “three turns and one ring”.
But the year before last, in 1982, the government had launched formal documents on developing industry, encouraging consumption, and installment payments across the country, and pushed them to all parts of the country to supervise their implementation.
It is precisely because of the implementation of this formal document across the country that in the past two years, the number of households in the city purchasing "three turns and one ring" has continued to increase dramatically.
So among urbanites nowadays, despite the fact that there are many families with "three turns and one ring", in fact most people buy by installment payment.
The vast majority of working-class families cannot afford two thousand yuan in cash now.
"Brother, also, I decided to let Wan Ling take Dabai with her today."
Wan Jun said with some worry, "It's too far to go to Shitou Town this time. When we go home, we have to drive so many livestock home. It will take at least eight or nine o'clock in the evening before we can return to Jiangbei Village."
"If the process of purchasing livestock does not go smoothly, it may be already midnight by the time everyone gets home."
"While I was cooking breakfast, I asked Wanyu and the three of them to light the oil lamp and feed the livestock and poultry at home, but I still feel a little uneasy in my heart."
"Ah Cai is the best housekeeper, so it's better to leave him at home and take Xiao Hei and the others to guard the house with peace of mind."
Wanjun's only shortcoming is that she thinks too much about things and always has a bit of foresight and hesitation.
"All right."
Wang Qiang had no objection and nodded in agreement.
In fact, I have a big eagle and a fierce dog guarding my house day and night. Even if the five big dogs at home follow me to Stone Town, there will definitely be no problem.
Today's Dameng is definitely an invincible existence on earth in single combat, and is so powerful that it exceeds the imagination of normal people.
Since he was going on a long trip today, it was impossible for Wang Qiang not to tell Da Meng to take care of his home.
Last night, as soon as the cadres from the village committee who came to inform him of this morning's departure time left, Wang Qiang called Dameng and told him to take care of his home and not be careless.
Although Wang Qiang knew it well, several girls in the family had no idea of Dameng's true ability.
It is reasonable for Wan Jun to have this idea.
The cadres from the village committee who came to notify yesterday said that the village's purchasing team was accompanied by a militia team from Jiangbei Village today.
That was a team with real guns and ammunition, so this time we went to Stone Town, we were very safe in terms of safety.
He was afraid of meeting a very good liar and a very powerful thief, so the old village chief asked Wang Qiang, who was quick-minded and full of ideas, to lead the team together.
To be clear, Jiangbei Village’s purchasing team is not afraid, but they are afraid of suffering hidden losses.
"Brother, we have packed up, let's go quickly!"
"Brother, we have to go to the village committee quickly to avoid those people waiting impatiently."...
The twin sisters and Chen Lin hurriedly walked out of the big kitchen and urged.
Although their family went to Shizhen three days ago, they were the only ones out at that time.
Where can I go on a long journey with nearly a hundred people from the village like today?
Moreover, the distance is not close, it is twenty miles farther than three days ago.
This had to make the sisters a little worried, a little excited and nervous.
After a while, Wang Qiang's family and Chen Lin quickly arrived on the first floor.
Wang Qiang put the large baskets filled with various things on his shoulders on the tricycle one by one.
Wanling followed her eldest sister's instructions and explained to Ah Cai and the other big dogs. Then she took Dabai and got into the trunk of the car and sat down.
The three girls, Wanjun, Wanyu, and Chen Lin, got on the car early.
There were two people sitting in each carriage of the tricycle, with Dabai squatting in the middle, ready to set off.
Wang Qiang pushed the tricycle out of the house, locked the door, waved goodbye to the big yellow dog Ah Cai and the other four big dogs, and quickly rode the tricycle to the gate building.
After a while, Wang Qiang walked out of the gate, locked the big wooden door of the gate building, and rode a tricycle quickly across the stone arch bridge. Taking advantage of the bright morning light on the horizon, he drove quickly along the cement avenue towards the village committee.
meeting.
Wang Qiang drove all the way and arrived in front of the village committee compound in about five minutes.
The place is already brightly lit and full of people, and people are busy coming in and out, making it a lively scene.
At least a hundred people gathered here, including the old village chief and several cadres who came to see off, as well as some middle-aged women holding various kinds of food in their hands.
There is no doubt that the procurement team organized by the village this time has a big mission.
Chapter completed!
