Chapter 221 1 day, just 1 day!
"Brother Qing?"
Jiang Qing shook the wine and peanuts in his hand: "I want to have a drink with you two."
"Okay." Ah Hu stepped aside. Jiang Qing just stepped in and was shocked to see the pile of paper horses. "It's almost the New Year, and you're still making these things..."
Atang put down the bamboo strips and smiled at him: "We have nothing to do, so we are just tying them for fun."
The Su family had to do a big cleaning, so they moved the paper-made items directly back home and have been practicing them at home for the past two days.
Jiang Qing put the thing on the table and curled his lips: "How much money can you make by piercing this thing? I tell you, Ah Xiong is making big money doing business in the south. He even bought a mobile phone!"
"Big brother, at least tens of thousands."
"He can afford it. He must earn at least hundreds of thousands, don't you think?"
Ah Hu lifted the wicker cover and nodded: "Of course there is."
Jiang Qing slammed the table and said, "So, I just wanted to ask you, do you want to go south with me after the New Year?"
He bit open the bottle cap: "If we make money, we can eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks..."
Then he froze.
There are four dishes under the dish cover.
A large bowl of meat, a plate of squid, a plate of hairtail, and a plate of cabbage.
He silently glanced at the peanuts he brought.
"No, you two..." He blinked, "You eat so well?"
Atang came over with a bowl, took the bottle and poured some wine, then laughed dryly: "Grandpa Su asked us to bring it back."
"Well, Grandma Liu said we didn't know how to cook and was afraid we'd ruin something good, so she cooked it for us to bring back."
Jiang Qing: “…”
Damn, who said that you two orphans are doing badly in the village?
His parents are both here, as are his brothers and sisters. There are only two dishes served at home all day long, and meat is only eaten once every ten days or half a month, and those are just lumps of meat the size of a fingernail. Where can he get such a big piece of meat?
He couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of meat and started to chew it.
"Well, it's delicious."
"This is the sheep that Uncle Achen brought back. It must be delicious. Brother Qing, if you like it, eat more."
"Uuuuuuu~"
Jiang Qing ate a lot of meat, finishing most of it. He then burped contentedly and took a sip of wine. "What do you think? Do you want to come with me?"
"Going south to work?" Atang asked.
Jiang Qing nodded: "Of course we have to work first. Only after we work can we have money and start doing business, right?"
Atang shook his head: "No, right?"
"Well, Brother Qing, we won't go. We've been learning paper-folding for more than half a month just to open a shop in the city."
Jiang Qing laughed: "Just the two of you...opening a shop in the city? Can you afford the rent?"
"No need to rent. Uncle Achen has a house. He will lend it to us first and then open it there."
Ah Hu looked at Jiang Qing awkwardly and said, "Brother Qing, Atang and I are too timid to go so far south. Uncle Chen said that if we open a shop in the city, we can have enough food and clothing. So we won't go with you."
Jiang Qing: “…”
I heard it.
Not only did Ah Xiong make a lot of money by doing business in the south and have enough money to buy a mobile phone, but Su Chen also became rich and even bought a house in the city!
"He spent a lot of money on buying the house, didn't he?"
A house in the city must cost at least tens of thousands, right?
Atang said honestly: "Not much. Uncle Achen is very good. He found it in the haunted house."
A haunted house? A house no one wants must be worthless! No wonder he could afford it. Jiang Qing felt relieved.
He clinked bowls with Atang and Ah Hu and reminded them, "Then you should be careful when you live here. If you feel uncomfortable, just move out. After all, this is a haunted house and there are dirty things in it."
Ah Tang wanted to refute, but was stopped by Ah Hu. He nodded repeatedly: "We understand, Brother Qing, but you really want to go south to work after the New Year? Don't go alone, otherwise you will have no one to look after you if something happens."
Atang nodded: "Why don't we ask Uncle Ze? I remember he wanted to go out to work before, but his family wouldn't let him. If he has a companion, he might agree..."
Jiang Qing nodded: "Well, I'll go ask later. Now, let's have a drink."
One bottle of wine is not enough for three people.
Jiang Qing was naturally not drunk. After leaving Ahu and Atang's yard, he hesitated for a moment and went to Su Ze's house.
Su Ze is Su Chen's cousin who is within the fifth degree of mourning. He is two years younger than him. There are three children in his family and not much land, so they live a tight life.
During the slack season recently, he went to the town to look for work and do odd jobs, but there was too little work in the town, and not only did he earn little, but the situation was also unstable. After hearing what Jiang Qing said, he immediately decided to go with Jiang Qing.
His wife advised, "It's better to go to the north than to work in the south. I went back to my parents' home a few days ago, and they said you can earn over a thousand yuan a month digging coal in the north!"
When Jiang Qing heard this, his eyes lit up.
"Really?"
"Why would I lie to you? My uncle's aunt's grandson went to the north to dig coal. He just came back with 20,000 yuan!"
"Twenty thousand!!!"
Jiang Qing exclaimed.
"It's only a little over a thousand a month, how can you save 20,000?" Su Ze was curious.
His wife glared at him and said, "You think a little over a thousand is easy? You work day and night in the coal mine, with no time to buy food or drink, not even to play cards. So you just save the money? At the end of the year, their boss also gave them a bonus, which adds up to over 20,000 yuan."
"You kept clamoring to go out and work, and I thought you'd be better off digging coal if you had time to spend money while working in the south. I'm just worried you'd be unsafe on your own," she poured Jiang Qing some water. "It would be great if Aqing could go with you."
Jiang Qing muttered, "Twenty thousand a year, I can start my own business in two years..."
He raised his head and stared at Su Ze with burning eyes: "Uncle Ze, if you agree, we will be together!"
Su Ze nodded: "Go, isn't it just digging coal day and night? I go up and down the mountain all day looking for work, can it be more tiring than this?"
"Exactly, 20,000!"
Jiang Qing drank the water in one gulp: "Aunt, can you help us ask someone of your uncle? Ask him how to dig coal."
"no problem."
After leaving Su Ze's house, Jiang Qing couldn't help humming a little tune.
It’s just a mobile phone. In two years, not only will I be able to afford it, I can even drive it in my car!
What he didn't know was that in the neighboring Feizhu Town, there were more than a dozen people who dreamed of getting rich like him.
And Cuicheng is about a hundred kilometers away from here.
Zhong Hongqi even laughed in bed.
One more day, one more day, and...
Make a fortune!
During the day he had asked around and found out about several unfamiliar small casinos.
When the time comes, I will use glue to stick my double eyelids together, paint my face a little darker, and stick a mole on the corner of my mouth. I guarantee that no one will recognize me.
If you make a fortune like this, even if the people in the casino want to take it back, they won’t be able to find you.
perfect!
When I get rich, I will take my mother to have surgery.
Just as I was thinking about it, a suppressed cough came from next door.
Zhong Hongqi's smile froze.
"Why are you coughing so badly? And you're hiding under the covers and coughing?"
"Hongqi is asleep, don't wake him up."
"So what? You're still worried about that brat? He's been hanging around all day and owes so much money..."
"Can we blame him? If we weren't incapable of finding him a wife, would he be like this? Ahem... I'll just drink some water and calm down."
"It doesn't hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt, it really doesn't...hiss...it hurts..."
"I'll buy you some painkillers tomorrow."
"What are you buying? With this money, I might as well help Hongqi pay back more..."
Zhong Hongqi clenched his fists so tightly that veins popped out.
One day, just one day!
He was able to pay back all the money he owed in one day, which not only allowed him to buy painkillers for his mother, but also to send her to the hospital for surgery.
Just one day!
