Chapter 66: I don’t have money to fight

"That's right, I heard that the lame man's grandpa works as a cemetery guard in Wanwan, and he has saved so much money. My grandma and uncle, they have no money even if they live frugally all their lives."
"It's different. People work to earn wages and receive money every month. We work to earn work points, and we have to pay work points to get our share of the food we grow. We're thankful that we're not hungry."
Li Changle and Ah Wei kept chatting, and quickly picked through the jars in the corner of the room, and filled the four sacks they brought with them.
He picked up the kettle, opened it, drank a few sips, wiped his lips and said, "Awei, don't let go of the bad ones."
"Oh!" Chen Yongwei picked up the last few and put them in a sack. "Brother, there are so many and they take up too much space. The minibus will definitely not let us get on them."
"It'll be fine just put it on the roof of the car." Li Changle picked up the two bags, walked out and said to Lao Zhangtou, "That's all Uncle, please weigh them."
Lao Zhangtou asked Li Changle to hang the sacks on the scale hook and weigh them. There were about four hundred plastic cans in the four bags, and the total cost was only three and a half yuan.
After receiving the money, Lao Zhangtou did not forget to promote business, "Young man, if you want to buy a bicycle, go to my house and buy it. If there is any problem with the bicycle in the future, it will be under warranty."
?????
Li Changle smiled and said, "Do you know how much one sells for?"
Lao Zhang nodded, "Look at the quality, the better one is 80, the worse one is 70. Although it is assembled, it is no different from the new one."
Li Changle thought that now the 28-bar cost at least 156, and it was much cheaper to assemble it, "We'll go to your house and have a look when we get back."
"Good to go!" Lao Zhangtou turned around and went to the backyard to clean up.
Chen Yongwei poured the plastic cans in the sack into the backpack, and tied the others to the backpack. The two went out and waited on the side of the road for more than ten minutes before a minibus arrived.
After stopping the car and putting his things on the roof, Li Changle got on the car and bought a ticket. He said to Ah Wei, "Are you going to get off at Shuiluozhang with me, or are you going back first?"
"I'm going back first, but I still haven't found a crab pot. I want to go back and see if I can find it?"
"Okay, I'll go see if they have tricycles for sale. That kind of tricycle can pull a lot of things. When there's a lot of fish, one can pull it over."
"Are you talking about the kind of car that the supply and marketing cooperative rides when it comes to collect goods? It has a carriage on the back and three wheels?"
"Yes, that's the kind. Which one do you think is better?"
"The three-wheeled ones are great and have a lot of packaging!"
After about ten minutes, they arrived at the waterway Zhangqiaotou. Li Changle got out of the car with a bucket and saw the tall four-story building on the roadside with a sign at the door.
It says: Repair bicycles, collect used bicycles.
Li Changle went over and saw a large vat at the door, a water ladle on the bamboo strips cover, and a man squatting in the dam to repair a tire.
"Master, Uncle from the Tuxiaqiao Scrap Depot said that you have old assembled bicycles for sale. I want to take a look."
Boss Zhang raised his head and said, "It's a bad time for you to come. One of the cars just happened to be sold. I still need a few accessories to assemble it when my father returns it."
"Then can you assemble a tricycle with a body?"
"Tricycle," Mr. Zhang frowned and thought for a moment, then nodded, "Yes, but the price is different from that of a bicycle."
"How much does it cost?"
"One more wheel, one more body, at least one hundred and sixty."
"It's too expensive. One hundred and sixty is enough for me to buy two bicycles. If it's cheaper, I'll order one."
Li Changle didn't know how much a tricycle cost these days, but he was so poor now that he wished he could break a penny in half and spend it!
"The parts of a tricycle are different from those of a bicycle. The horizontal bars and wheel hubs are thicker, and the carriages need to be welded. Even if you want to buy one, I won't have a car for you for a while."
"I'm not in a hurry." Li Changle thought for a moment, "Let's do it, one hundred and four, if it works, I'll order one, if not, you can assemble a bicycle for me."
Boss Zhang thought about the parts for assembling a tricycle at home. Except for the brakes, bells, and chains, which were bought, the rest were collected from scraps. He could make a lot of money by selling one hundred and forty units.
"One hundred and fourteen is one hundred and fourteen. You pay a deposit of twenty yuan first and pick up the car in half a month."
"Okay." Li Changle took out the money and paid the deposit, took the receipt written by Mr. Zhang and put it away. He went out with the bucket and waited on the side of the road for a while, then got on the minibus and returned to Shatou Village.
After getting off the car, I took out a cigarette and found that there was only one left. I lit it and took a puff. I walked to the village committee with a bucket and saw a big red notice posted on the wall next to the door of the brigade meeting room. .
I walked over and took a look and saw that it was written about the contracting of tidal flats, starting from ten acres of tidal flats, from the area connected to Shaji Village to the area near the reef beach at the east end.
The contracting fee is not high, only one yuan per acre, and the contracting period is fifteen years. After expiration, the original contractor can give priority to renewal...
Li Changle has no idea about this tidal flat. He just wants to contract the saline-alkali land when he has money. The contract period will be fifty or sixty years. When the government builds an industrial park and transforms the land, it will be big. Send a sum.
He thought happily and went to Accountant Chen's canteen not far from the village committee.
Half of the families in Shatou Village are surnamed Li, and half are surnamed Chen. There are many intermarriages between the two families, so they are all relatives after all.
Accountant Chen's daughter Chen Liping married Li Changqing, and for the sake of a weak relationship, she took good care of Li Changle's family.
Li Changle stood in front of the sales window, which was two feet larger than the door and window, and handed Accountant Chen two cents, "Uncle A Dong, here is a pack of Big Red Eagle."
"Big Red Eagle is one dime and three packs, I'll give you seven cents for it." After Accountant Chen handed him the cigarettes, he stepped forward and leaned in front of the sales window and said:
"Ale, I heard that you have made a lot of money from Taohai these days. The village is going to contract out the tidal flat land. Are you not going to sign up to contract a piece of land for breeding?"
He saw that this child was a little different from before, and thought that his in-laws had the best relationship with his father, so he said something more.
"Do I want to be a contractor?" Li Changle pocketed the money, opened the cigarettes and handed one to him with a smile, "I can't even raise the contract fees, so please stop teasing me."
"One dollar per acre, ten dollars for ten acres, you can't even come up with it?" Accountant Chen glanced at him, "You earned more than ten dollars that night when you dug the pond."
"Ten yuan is enough. Whether you are raising blue crabs or dragonflies, you have to get seedlings, right? Where can I find the money to get the seedlings?"
"Ask your sister, aunt and uncle to help you organize a meeting. If you do your business, they will still support you."
"Forget it, I'm afraid I won't be able to come out by then, and my relatives won't be able to do it after a while."
The association is a kind of mutual aid among the people. In some places, it is called a standard association or a mutual aid association, but legally it is a union association.
It is a form of private small-amount credit loan, which has the function of earning interest and raising funds.
Most of them are done among relatives and friends, and most of them are raised when building a new house or raising funds for business.
