At the end of January, Tian Laba didn't want to go to the county seat for a meeting, so he asked Wen Qingfeng to go down to hold the meeting for him. He also told Wen Qingfeng to wait until the Spring Festival and the "annual meeting" were held before going up to the mountain. In this way, Wen Qingfeng

I can stay at the bottom of the mountain for almost a month.

Mu Yi also came down the mountain earlier than last year. After all, he was familiar with the situation above. In addition, during the New Year of the Yi people, they also went to the homes of Secretary Lamu and the head of the township of Ke. In addition, in the entire township

The relationship was almost "integrated". So, he and everyone took advantage of the weather to be fine for two days in a row, and the weather continued to be fine on the third day and went down the mountain.

Although there are still about ten days before the Spring Festival, no one thinks there is anything wrong. To paraphrase Secretary Lamu: "This year has made everyone tired and comfortable. There is no concept of 'weekend' in this regard, and there is no 'what'

The term "overtime" means that as long as there is work to do, everyone will work day and night. Once the work is done, it's just a matter of fun."

After going down the mountain, I returned home and repaired it for a few days, thoroughly cleaning the house and blowing up the dust. While the weather was fine, I washed and dried my clothes, quilts, etc. It was time to buy some New Year’s goods.

When we arrived at the county seat, we saw that the sidewalks on both sides of the highway were already covered with bright red door-god couplets. Nylon ropes were tied to the walls of some stores and even between street trees, and then flaming red couplets were hung on them.

Mu Yi and his brothers looked at the festive red lanterns and Chinese knots while walking around, enjoying the lively atmosphere.

Because there are so many people buying couplets of the door god, basically every household has to buy three to five, or even more. And this small "door god couplet" is not only a "necessity" for thousands of households during the New Year, but also a "big profit"

". Because everyone knows that all these items are wholesaled from Lotus Pond. The cost is only a few cents for ordinary ones and a few dollars for high-end ones, but the selling price is a few dollars or dozens of dollars, and the profit is almost all

It is more than ten times, even dozens of times.

Because of this, there are many people buying and selling. At this time, people who are good at calligraphy and are willing to go to the streets to "set up stalls" can also make a lot of money. That is not the case at all.

When writing calligraphy, you are not only sending blessings, but also "printing money."

The three brothers simply bought "New Year's goods" such as door-god couplets, firecrackers, paper money, etc. They got on the fire and went back.

"Brother, look at the fare for the three of us going down and up, minus twelve yuan. If we buy these things in Datang, it will be two or three yuan more expensive at most. It also saves the time of taking the bus." Brother Jun

What it means is that compared with the money we save by buying the door god couplets and other things like the fare and time we spent, it’s a bit like “the gain outweighs the loss”.

This is really an interesting question. The three brothers carefully studied this "transportation cost" issue and finally came to a "conclusion". Sometimes "sacrificing the near and seeking the far" may not be a good thing. Not only did they spend more on transportation costs, but they also

It cost more time and money. The key is that I heard a lot of "stories" about "lost wallets" along the way.

However, you can still take some psychological comfort. After all, you can't feel such a lively atmosphere in Datang. Datang is in the countryside, and its popularity is really not as popular as that of the county town.

On the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, my father returned as scheduled. As in previous years, his bulging suitcase conjured up the family's new clothes, new pants, new shoes, as well as candies, oranges, advertising calendars, and pictorials, as if by magic.

newspaper.

Finally, he took out a very delicate toy from a tightly wrapped small box - a small and exquisite TCL mobile phone.

"I bought this at the Hehuachi second-hand mobile phone market, and it's still 80% to 90% new. I'm giving it to you. You'll need it for work. It's popular now to have a new mobile phone." Father said and handed another new box to him.

Mu Yi. This is a brand new mobile phone case box. It is a mobile phone case with imitation crocodile skin texture. It is just right to put the mobile phone inside.

Holding the exquisite mobile phone, he touched the buttons and listened to the pleasant button sounds and ringtones. Mu Yi was so excited. "Thank you, Dad. Thank you, Dad."

At this time, the younger brothers all cast envious glances and wanted to touch the phone. Muyi handed the phone to the younger brothers.

"Be careful. If it's broken, you have to take it to Chengdu to repair it." My father quickly warned me.

"Why can't you make a call?" Brother Jun asked with some confusion.

"You need to take your ID card to the mobile company to apply for a mobile phone card. Insert the phone card into the mobile phone. You also have to pay the phone bill. After paying the phone bill, you can make a call. However, the phone bill is very expensive. Don't worry about it.

Don't mess around with things."

This small and exquisite mobile phone has a flip-up dual-screen. There is a small screen on the flip-up, and the screen is surrounded by a long oval. The entire inside of the oval except the screen is inlaid with small rhinestones.

Mu Yi thought of a question. "How do you charge dad's mobile phone?"

The father smiled slightly and took out a small cardboard box with simple packaging. "Here, this is a charger. Just plug the head of the charger into the plug board and the tail into the power hole of the mobile phone to charge.

When fully charged, you can make and receive calls for two or three days. If you don't make calls, it can be on standby for about a week."

In fact, Mu Yi was still very puzzled, why did his father spend so much money this year?

Sure enough, after a day of rest, on New Year's Eve, my father bought chicken, fish, carrots and other vegetables for the New Year's Eve dinner early and gave them to my mother to prepare.

Under the command of their father, the three brothers pasted up the door god couplets. Then they pasted a layer of newspaper on the walls and floor of the main room. Since the water had not dried completely, it didn't look very good. But the paste was applied

The main room with a layer of newspapers still looks good, like wearing a new piece of clothing. Then I tear off the exquisite coated paper advertising calendar one by one and paste it on the newspaper on the wall. It feels better and the main room immediately feels better.

A lot more brilliant.

After finishing all these things and having the New Year’s Eve dinner, it’s time for the annual “distribution of new year’s money” and “playing cards” again.

My father gave one hundred yuan to each of his two younger brothers, and also gave one hundred yuan to my mother. This made her very happy.

"Old wood, I got some money this year."

"Business has been good this year. I paid off my debts and earned tens of thousands of dollars."

Everyone was very curious. No matter how good this business is, the time every day is still limited. No matter how you think about it, it is not appropriate. Seeing that everyone can't understand it, my father doesn't care anymore.

"It's like this. This year, my channels for making money have expanded. On the one hand, I continue to maintain my old customers in Qinglong Market. People come to purchase goods on a regular basis, and everyone has reached a tacit understanding. When they come, they come to me to deliver.

Goods. Even if I'm not here, the boss will put the goods in and put them on the stall, and they will drive away first. When I come back, the stall owner will tell me. I will quickly send them to the freight department for delivery. In addition,

On the one hand, I made some easy money this year. There is a boss who opened a shop in Tianfu Square, selling jade pendants, jade bracelets and other tourist souvenirs. When they want goods, they call me and tell me to come from Lotus Pond Market.

Take the goods and send them to them. This is very profitable, and it is calculated by the number. It only costs two or three yuan to send one, and it is not heavy. The key is to make people trust you. This made me earn a lot of travel expenses. In the end

I helped a boss go to Chongqing and helped him collect more than 200,000 yuan in payment for goods. He gave me several thousand yuan in hard work fees."

After listening to Father's report, everyone felt at ease.

At this time, Mu Yi felt a little depressed. His father asked him what was wrong.

"Sigh. I'm thinking. I spent ten years in poverty and worked hard to study. Now I finally have a job, but I haven't earned five thousand yuan in a year. It's not as much as earning money from a part-time job."

"Why do you think so? Although the salary is a little low now, after all, the income is guaranteed despite droughts and floods. It will increase in the future. You guys sit in the office all day without wind or rain. It's so comfortable! You don't want it

Look at how much money the old man has earned now. But it is all hard-earned money. It also depends on luck. If you are lucky, you can earn it, but if you are not lucky, you will not earn it. And if you work for a few more years, you will be old.

I can’t work anymore. Where can I make money? You can only earn one day’s income if you work for one day, but you will lose it if you don’t work for one day. And everyone is spreading the news that Chengdu is going to upgrade its city. What does this mean? We ordinary people can’t understand it.

.But they say they want to remove the lotus pond, build golden lotuses or something. There are various theories. There are also saying that they want to drive the bus to the sky. Anyway, there are all kinds of things you can't imagine. By the way.

, there is also talk of hollowing out the underground of Chengdu, building shopping malls and railways underneath. Do you think it is possible? You are really bragging to the sky. You dare to brag about anything. Don’t think about these things and just be honest.

Work until you retire, and then the state will pay you a pension."

After the father finished speaking, he said to his two younger brothers: "You should study hard. When you get to work, I will give each of you a mobile phone."

Mu Yi actually understood. Chengdu was announcing their future urban development plan. The city subway is a symbol of an international metropolis. Chengdu is a big city in the southwest. But judging from these trends, Chengdu leaders

The ambition is to build Chengdu into an international metropolis.

Chengdu has such ambitions, what about other cities? Other cities are naturally not far behind. But what about Varado? In addition to continuing to implement the "returning farmland to forest", Varado seems to have reached a "transcendental state" of "not caring about worldly affairs"

Already.

Mu Yi felt that as long as he stayed in Valado, in that almost pristine environment, he could basically be pure and devoid of desires, regardless of his future. But after getting off the mountain, he returned to the rolling world. "Qianzi,

"House, car, wife, children" and "Five sons and daughters". I have not achieved any of them. Although beef noodles are open to eat in the county town, "Five sons and daughters" are like "five big mountains" that weigh on Mu Yi's heart.

Forget it, forget it, don’t think about it.
