Chapter 89 Tapes
"Dad, I'll go out to set up a stall and come back for dinner."
"It's better not to come back when you're out. I don't know what I'm busy with every day and have a good meal every day."
He had already been numb to his stepmother's scolding. Cao Bing closed the door, carried two large boxes full of toys on his back, and walked towards the place where he set up a stall in the mud behind the snow.
It was still in the first month of the year, and the university had not yet started school, and there were not many stalls on the ground. Cao Bing easily found a good location near the school gate, laying white cloth, and taking out the toys he had purchased. These toys were all taken from a friend, saying that they were made by township enterprises and were quite cheap. However, they had been setting up stalls here for several months, but they didn't even sell a box. Cao Bing was already upset. In order to wholesale these things, he had asked his father about borrowing more than 200 yuan. If this continues, there is no need to consider what to make money, and consider how to recover the cost first!
"Look at it, take a look, buy one, and play with the children!" Seeing someone passing by, Cao Bing immediately shouted loudly. But those people glanced a few times and were all unstoppable, and they had no interest in these toys at all.
"Oh!" Cao Bing threw the clockwork toy frog on the ground, sighed, and took out the cigarette and lit it. Over the days, he had thought that although these toys were cheap, they were too cheap and were not attractive enough. No wonder others didn't come to buy them. They were really cheap and had no good goods! They were a little discouraged, and Cao Bing thought, "If anyone really wants it, I will admit it if I lose it."
"Huh? There is this here?" Suddenly, a boy stopped and picked up a toy curiously.
Cao Bing's eyes lit up: "This is 5.2 yuan, you want to be cheaper."
"Brother, I'll take a look." The young man smiled and put it down. "I played this when I was a child, but I didn't expect to see it here."
Cao Bing was a little anxious and pulled the boy: "Then it's cheaper, 5 yuan? It's 4 yuan8 yuan? It's a bargain price, 4 yuan5 yuan?" This price is actually lower than Cao Bing's purchase price.
"Brother, I really don't buy it." The young man smiled and shook his hand away, and prepared to leave.
Seeing that the young man was really ready to leave, Cao Bing became even more anxious: "That's 4 yuan!"
"I really won't buy it."
"What's the trouble if you don't buy it?" Cao Bing rushed to the boy and grabbed his chest, "I dare not buy it even after negotiated the price? How about I enjoy it?"
"But I...I didn't ask for the price? Brother, let go, let go!"
"Did you pick it up? Did you take it just now? That's just asking the price, and you dare to talk back? You're going to cut you back."
"Brother, brother, I'll buy it, can't I buy it?" The young man looked aggrieved and took out a brand new five-yuan RMB from his pocket helplessly, "Give it to your brother, 4 yuan."
Cao Bing grabbed the toy and stuffed it into the boy's hand: "I'll give it to you, and the payment will be cleared."
"Hey, what about the 1 yuan I found? Brother, didn't you say 4 yuan?"
"Who said it? It's 5 yuan. Why? Do you still want to keep it here? Want to buy another one?"
...
When the young man left in disappointment, Cao Bing lit a cigarette with a wry smile. He was really poor and had a short ambition, so he was embarrassed to start a forced purchase and sale? However, when he thought of the money in his pocket, he felt a little comforted and finally opened.
"Come and buy one for the new toys for your child!" With a good start, Cao Bing was in a much more energetic spirit, and even his shouts seemed to become louder.
"Second brother, it's him!"
"Brothers, beat that bastard!"
"Oh, don't step on it!"
"It's all broken. This kid belongs to me. I will understand it today, and I'm sure he doesn't even know him."
"beat!……"
"Brother, spare me-!"
"Give up you? Keep fighting!"
“…”
Retribution came quickly. Not long after, the boy led a group of people to come, punched and kicked Cao Bing, and smashed and trampled the toys. Finally, when the group of people finished venting, Cao Bing, who was lying on the ground, slowly got up, touched his bruised forehead, and then touched his nose bleeding. Looking at the toy fragments all over the ground, he wanted to cry without tears.
The onlookers gradually dispersed. After moving for a while, they felt that they could still move. Cao Bing began to pick and choose on the ground, hoping to find some that were not broken. After searching around, he only found two, three broken ones were not serious. He sighed and wanted to smoke a cigarette. He first found that the cigarette in his pocket had been crushed.
"Come on one!" Suddenly a cigarette swayed in front of Cao Bing.
Cao Bing looked up and smiled reluctantly: "Xiao Jian! Thank you."
Carrying a box, he followed Jing Jianzai. Today's business has been completely ruined, and judging by this, it will be difficult to open again in the future. Cao Bing was a little confused. He had been unemployed for so long and was replaced by his younger brother at home. So what should he do in the future?
"I haven't thanked you yet." Jing Jian smoked and smiled at Cao Bing.
"It's okay, just borrow a house. Are your relatives satisfied with their living in it? In fact, the two rooms behind are a bit dilapidated, and they can cost a few dollars. Otherwise, I'll talk about it?" Cao Bing quickly answered.
The acquaintance between Jing Jian and Cao Bing was purely accidental, but there was a hint of inevitability. When doing market research, the two of them had met with each other. When asked about Cao Bing's living nearby, Jing Jian was worried. When he returned to Huaqing this time, Jing Jian found Cao Bing and asked him to help introduce him to rent a house nearby. It happened that there were several empty rooms behind Cao Bing's residence. After contacting the landlord, he rented it very happily. The rent was not expensive, 35 yuan a month, and it was rented for three years. For this reason, Jing Jian even gave Cao Bing a cigarette afterwards.
Jing Jian didn't care about this little rent. After arriving in the capital, he sent Dalin's parents to the hospital for a full-body examination. Then, he prescribed medicine and Dalin's mother went home to rest, while Dalin's father arranged cataract surgery. Such surgery was not big or small, and the surgery was quite successful. Therefore, Dalin's father was discharged from the hospital for a few days. In order to facilitate care, Jing Jian simply rented a house near the school and arranged for Dalin's family to stay.
Jing Jian smiled and greeted Cao Bing: "Is it okay? I'll go to my place to sit there. My uncle and aunt kept saying, "I want to invite you, thank you."
"Look at what you said, Xiao Jian, I'm not afraid of you making fun of you. What place can I go?" Cao Bing smiled bitterly, "Then I'll bother uncle and aunt and sit for a while."
He deliberately bypassed his doorstep and followed Jing Jian to the rental house. Suddenly, Cao Bing was a little surprised. Jing Jian stopped and looked at the door with complicated eyes. He didn't know that Jing Jianzheng sighed in his heart: "Originally, this should be his and Wei Yingzhi's love nest, but now...?"
The pause was very short, and Jing Jian quickly returned to normal. After knocking on the door, Zhou Mei quickly appeared: "Xiao Jian? Oh, and Xiao Cao, please come in quickly. I'm just looking for you."
