Chapter 8 Nuggets
"Tu tuk!"
It was already ten o'clock in the evening when Li Hao knocked on his door.
"Oh Hao'er, why are you back now? Wait, mom goes to cook for you." Seeing Li Xiao walking into the house with his luggage on his back, his mother's voice immediately rose octaves.
I guess the mothers in the world said this when they saw their son returning from a long journey.
"Mom, I've eaten it!" Li Xiao entered the door to change his shoes and put down his luggage.
"Why did you eat outside? Wait for mom to give you some noodles?"
"Mom, you don't have to be busy, you've really eaten it."
"Here you back!" Dad walked out.
Li Hao was stunned for a moment. His father was so young under the light. His hair was only slightly white on his sideburns, which was completely incompatible with the elderly with silver hair that I remembered.
"dad!"
"Just come back!" My father smiled honestly. He is a typical technical worker. He has very poor language expression skills in addition to technology.
"Is it really eaten?" My mother looked at Li Hao with suspicious eyes. Most of the mothers were worried about two things. One was that they couldn't eat enough, and the other was that they were not warm in their clothes. So it became popular in later generations, and your mother thought you were cold and your mother thought you were hungry.
"I've eaten it after eating it! What are you nagging?"
"You old man, haven't you made enough noises? You're a coward in the factory, but you'll be the one who's at home? Why don't you tell me how the new factory manager squeezed you? You said you..." My mother started the speech mode, and the words that came out of her mouth were probably enough for my father to say for a year.
Li Hao quickly realized that the factory had poor efficiency and needed some workers to go on vacation.
Of course, there is no salary when you are on vacation. In fact, it is just a disguised layoff!
"What are you afraid of! I have the ability to rivet and weld the carriage, so wherever I can't eat?" My father was annoyed by his mother's words and said.
"You have the ability, why don't you go to work in a private place? Look at Lao Zhang, who costs 1,000 yuan a month and Lao Wang next door. He has been working in the south for a long time. I heard that...!" Seeing that my father dared to talk back, my mother turned on the bara bara speech mode again.
I have demonstrated facts and reasoned from all aspects. My father should have gone out of the factory and worked in a private factory in society to earn money.
In fact, Li Hao understood his father. When he was young, workers, especially those in state-owned enterprises, had a high social status. It was a very awesome thing to be able to wear state-owned enterprise work clothes at that time, and finding partners was easier than others. After sacrificing his youth to the company, the generation of technical workers represented by his father suddenly found that the company on which he relied on to live without them.
They have been living in acquaintance circles all year round, and they have no other expertise except their own skills. They are instinctively afraid of the outside world, even though they are all adults.
This era is an era of confusion for their generation!
My father lit a cigarette and protested silently. My mother believed that it was my father's admit defeat, and her mouth became even worse.
"Mom! I'm going back to the house to sleep." Li Hao decided to save his father who was in dire straits.
"Don't, I'll clean up for you." My mother went to clean up the room for Li Hao in a arrogant manner.
"What are your plans in the future!" My father glanced at Li Hao.
"Before the New Year, with your comrades, go to the capital to pour some mountain goods and make some money."
"Mountain goods?" The father knew nothing about business and looked at his son who had just been demobilized in surprise.
"Yes! The mountain goods in Heilongjiang are rich and people in the capital pay attention to health preservation. If you like to eat such wild and pure natural things, we will definitely be able to sell when we get some in the capital."
"Wild... kid, we can't do anything illegal. Reselling wild animals is illegal!"
"Dad, where do you want to go? It's not wild animals. It's wild mountain mushrooms, hazelnuts, pine nuts, etc. It's not illegal." Li Hao also scratched his head. Sometimes his dad's head was dull. But sometimes his mind was very big and his circuit was amazing.
"Oh!" My father nodded and smoked again. He has lived in state-owned enterprises in third-tier cities in Northeast China for many years and is very unfamiliar with the word "doing business".
"It's my son who knows how to make money in business." When my mother heard Li Hao's words, she immediately rushed out of Li Hao's room.
Li Hao gave my dad a look that I couldn't help you. Sure enough, my mom was right again, and scolded her dad again.
"Hao'er! Is your partner demobilized? I'll bring it back tomorrow for my mother to see you?" After saying a few words, the topic of my mother with a genius brain turned around.
"Uh...! Mom, I'm sleepy and sleeping."
"You kid, you are still embarrassed." Mom started the bara bara mode again.
I was a little tired after drinking, and lay in bed and fell asleep for a while.
When I woke up in the morning, Li Hao was a little dazed for a moment. He wondered why no one called himself up to stand guard last night!
After opening my eyes for a while, I realized that I was no longer a soldier, but a real reincarnation soldier.
My mother was cooking and my father was washing. Thinking of my mother's nagging skills, Li Hao decided to sleep for a while.
"Hao'er! Breakfast is in the pot, your dad and I are going to work." My mother opened the door and shouted. Regardless of whether Li Hao heard or not, she and my dad were going to work.
Li Hao washed up and ate breakfast, then found a military coat to put it on. After thinking about it, he put on the cotton military cap with the hat badge removed. He still dared not underestimate the weather in December in Northeast China.
The snow under your feet was "creaking" and "creaking", and Li Hao came to the old willow tree I saw last night.
Two big words are written in chalk on the cement wall, rent it out!
After rubbing my eyes, I couldn't believe that this is true. This luck is so good! It seems that my first pot of gold has been settled.
Excited Li Hao walked to the door and vented his breath on his lips.
"Bangbang! Bangbangbang!" The iron gate sounded a little crisp in the cold winter.
No one agreed!
"Bangbang!Bangbangbang!"
Li Hao knocked his hand almost dead, and he couldn't knock it out.
"Is anyone?" Li Hao tried to shout, but no one spoke.
"What are you shouting? It's noisy!" The door was still not opened, and an old head came out of the door next to it to look at Li Hao up and down: "What's the matter?"
"Uncle! I'll look for this family."
"I know what's wrong with you looking for this family!"
"I want to rent a house!"
"Rent? Why rent a house?"
The old man looked at Li Hao with a vigilant look, as if he was catching a spy.
"The barbecue stalls are good in front of me, so I want to open one here too." This is the excuse that Li Hao thought about all night last night. Although this section of the road is not facing the street, it is adjacent to a branch road. It is reasonable to open a barbecue stall here.
"Barbecue stall?" The old man looked at Li Hao carefully again.
"My soldier has just been demobilized and doesn't want to eat free food at home. I want to do something to make money by myself."
"Oh! That's it!" This old man had a special favor for those who were in the army.
"Now, young people like you are not much younger. They are 300 yuan a month, pay every six months, and rent it for rent!" Finally, the old man spoke.
The price of renting a yard of 300 yuan is slightly higher. In those days, Li Hao went out to work for about 300 yuan a month.
"Uncle! I've just been demobilized and I don't have much money. Can I lose some money? Let's see if the rent can be paid every month. It's not easy!" Li Hao didn't expect that this old guy was the landlord. As Li Hao spoke, he handed over a red plum.
"Sher!" He lit the old man with a match.
"Go ahead! Two hundred and forty yuan a month, and the rent is paid every three months." The old man was easy to talk to, and probably the status of the demobilized soldier played a role.
"Come on! Uncle, your surname is yours."
"Submitted to Zhang!"
“Is this house yours?”
"No!" The old man shook his head, and Li Hao's nose was almost irritated.
It's not your house, I've been talking to me for a long time.
"My son's, my family went to Guangzhou to make a fortune. There was no one living in the remaining yard, so I rented it out to get two money to spend."
"Hello, Mr. Zhang!"
After renting the house in the morning, Li Hao brought tools in the afternoon in the name of decoration. However, no matter how Lao Zhang looked at it, the shovel and pickaxe did not look like a house renovating.
"Uncle! You see, there is no sewer pipe in this house. I am going to dig a ditch to directly lead the dirty water in the house into the well. After all, we are also a restaurant. The dirty water for washing vegetables and dishes cannot be poured into a bucket and poured out." This is another remark that Li Xiao had thought of.
"The cement floor is broken..."
"Uncle, if I ruined my hotel, how can I open it? I will definitely smooth it out for you when I look back!"
"Pay money for water and electricity!" Old Zhang nodded and returned to his yard with his hands behind his back.
Li Hao stood in the distance, and carefully gestured the place where he sold wontons back then. He confirmed that the place he was looking for was under the house. I hope there was no mistake in the memory over the years!
The troops dug the fiber optic cable trench and Li Hao digs a big hole in the ground in one afternoon. He digs out the solid cement and then digs out the foundation brick layer. The ground is below!
Although it is winter now, the soil is still relatively soft, about one meter deep underground. There is nothing under the cave, and Li Hao has to expand around. Now he just hopes that God will not joke with him.
When he dug it to about one and a half meters deep, the shovel made a "wait" sound. The sound was obviously not a stone. Li Hao hurriedly squatted down and his hands kept rubbing against the ground. Under the flashlight, Li Hao saw a reflection.
It's a jar!
Restraining his excitement, Li Hao took a small shovel and dug along the jar next to him.
The jar is not big, about half a meter high and about thirty centimeters in diameter. This is a jar of pickled pickles commonly found in Northeast China. Li Hao digs along the sides and soon found a exactly the same jar.
Carefully open the jar, and the place where the flashlight shines is a silver reflection.
It's this thing, the ocean!
When this place was demolished, Li Hao sold wontons at the door. He witnessed migrant workers digging out two jars of oceans, and migrant workers robbed them. Li Hao also spent fifty yuan to buy one, and wore it on his neck with a rope for many years.
It is said that this area was a place of romance before liberation, and the old people said that this ocean must have been hidden by the kiln women.
Find the prepared sack and pour out the ocean inside the jar. The seal under the soil layer is still good, and the sound of the ocean hitting is very nice. Seeing that it was already dark outside, Li Hao returned home with a bag of ocean.
This should be the first pot of gold!
