guess,
Guess again!
Cui Qingfeng was really a showman today, saying "guess, you guess", he was so big, he didn't feel bored, Xu Zhao ignored him, stretched out his hand to pat Xu Fan's little butt lightly, let Xu Fan Fan went to the hut to find grandma to wear a pair of big trousers.
So Xu Fan ran into the hut with bare buttocks on his short legs. Xu Zhao stood up, not being polite to the showman Cui Qingfeng, and grabbed the two pieces of paper in Cui Qingfeng's hand, just saw the word "contract" , his heart suddenly became tense, and it lasted until he finished reading the two contracts. The nervousness turned into shock and excitement. He looked at Cui Qingfeng and asked, "Is this a mooncake order from a steel factory or a tobacco factory?"
"Yes! It's the mooncake order from the steel factory and tobacco factory!" Cui Qingfeng finally stopped pretending to be mysterious, and obvious excitement appeared on his face: "Sister Yun asked me to bring it to you, haha, Xu Zhao, you are really amazing! "
"Have they all signed and sealed?" Xu Zhao looked at the contract again and said softly.
"Yes, all you need to do is sign it." Cui Qingfeng replied.
Xu Zhao continued to look at the contract and read: "A total of 9,000 mooncakes..."
"That's right."
"A deposit of 30% of the total amount in advance."
"yes."
After reading all the keywords, Xu Zhao looked at Cui Qingfeng again with excitement on his face.
Cui Qingfeng was even more excited than Xu Zhao, and said, "Xu Zhao! Yes, don't doubt it, you are going to make a lot of money!"
yes!
It's about to make a lot of money!
Nine thousand moon cakes can earn more than one thousand yuan at a time, and more than one thousand yuan can not only repay Cui Qingfeng's two hundred yuan, but also buy thick clothes and quilts for the family, etc., to live a warm life The more abundant the winter was, the more Xu Zhao thought about it, the more excited he became, and he wished he could go to the steel factory to sign the contract immediately and hold the deposit in his hand.
However, Cui Qingfeng said that Sister Yun had something to do this afternoon and was not at the steel factory, so he decided to go tomorrow morning. Seeing the signing and stamping of the contract, Xu Zhao was very excited. When Cui Qingfeng left Nanwan Village on his bicycle Yes, his heartbeat was still speeding up. He stood in front of the yard and adjusted for ten minutes before he calmed down. Then he turned and went into the hut of Xu's father and Xu's mother, and talked about moon cakes with the two old people.
However, Xu Zhao didn't tell the elders about the moon cake income. After all, earning more than a thousand yuan at once is quite amazing in this era, especially for Xu's mother who is frugal, that is simply astronomical, so Xu Zhao only said that he will be busy with the moon cake business recently, so he may not be able to take care of his family, so the two elders should pay attention to their health and so on.
Xu Zhao originally planned to leave Xu Fan in Nanwan Village with Xu's mother, so that he could start the moon cake business aggressively, but since Xu Zuocheng and Xu Youcheng went to the county to ask for money but failed, Xu Zhao gave up this idea.
What if the two of them still came to quarrel with Xu's father and Xu's mother, and made troubles without rules, and Xu's father and Xu's mother were overwhelmed and couldn't take care of Xu Fan, then what would Xu Fan do? No matter how eloquent Xu Fan is, he is just a three-year-old child. In the final analysis, he still doesn't understand anything, and he is not as tall as Xu Erwa, nor as fat as Xu Erwa. If Xu Erwa and Xu Dawa play tricks, Xu Fan What should I do if I just throw it into the wild and get carried away
Thinking about it made me feel scared, so Xu Zhao decided to take Xu Fan by himself.
After negotiating with Xu's father and Xu's mother, the next morning, Xu Zhao rode a bicycle and drove Xu Fan to the steel factory to find sister Yun. The 30% deposit was all given to Xu Zhao. Xu Zhao expressed his gratitude to Sister Yun, and after receiving the deposit of 702 yuan, he took Xu Fan directly to the county bus without hesitation. stand.
As soon as I arrived at the bus station, I saw many buses at the station.
Xu Fan's eyes lit up immediately, and he shouted, "Dad! Look! A big car!"
Xu Zhao reluctantly agreed, "Yes, it's a big car."
"Father, I want to take a big car." Xu Fan hugged the toy car, his face full of longing.
Xu Zhao looked at Xu Fan with a smile and said, "Okay, let's sit."
"Then can our bicycles also be used?" As long as it is a car, Xu Fan will miss it.
"OK."
"Why are you sitting?" Xu Fan asked.
So Xu Zhaoduo spent two cents and took Xu Fan to see with his own eyes the bus driver hang 28 bicycles on the buttocks of the bus.
Xu Fan said happily: "Ah, the bicycle rides with us in a big car."
Xu Zhao stretched out his hand to touch Xu Fan's little head and said, "Yes, the bicycle is riding in the big car with us."
Xu Fan tilted his head and thought for a while and said, "Then when it comes down, we can still ride it home."
Xu Zhao stroked Xu Fan's chubby face and said, "That's right, alas, whose baby is this, so smart, he even knows this."
Xu Fan leaned on Xu Zhao shyly: "I am the baby of my father's family."
"..." This kid is so good at talking.
Xu Zhao hugged Xu Fan and got on the bus. At first he thought that Xu Fan had already been on the bus once, and there would be no novelty, but when the little guy saw the car start, he became very excited. Let's say that Dazhuang has never been in a big car or a big car, he has been in it several times.
Xu Zhao was speechless. Just as he was thinking about the moon cakes, the bus stopped suddenly. He quickly hugged Xu Fan to prevent Xu Fan from eating. Before he could figure out the situation, he heard the driver say that the bus The car broke down, everyone got out of the car and waited for a while, so a group of cheerleaders got out of the car and sat in the shade of a tree by the side of the road to wait. After waiting for more than an hour, Xu Fan was stupefied.
After arriving in the city, Xu Fan was alive and kicking after a delicious meal. He followed Xu Zhao to Xizhou Food Factory, signed a one-time contract for 9,000 yuan of moon cakes, and paid 324 yuan in advance. Such a big deal, It really made Xu Jianguo look at Xu Zhao differently. He didn't expect Xu Zhao to be so capable at such a young age, and to get orders from steel mills and tobacco factories, which is really extraordinary.
Xu Jianguo immediately treated Xu Zhao more politely than before, showing his appreciation for Xu Zhao in his words and deeds.
After the contract was concluded, Xu Zhao asked for a trial sale of some mooncakes first.
Xu Jianguo asked curiously: "Trial sale? How much do you want?"
Xu Zhao thought for a while and said, "One thousand yuan."
"When will it be?"
"tomorrow."
A thousand dollars—tomorrow—
Xu Jianguo thought for a moment, and then said awkwardly: "It may not be possible to get out a thousand yuan."
Xu Zhao asked back, "Why?"
Xu Jianguo told the truth: "Moon cakes are actually just one of the production lines in our food factory. Normally, full-scale production of moon cakes starts after a week. By then, all the employees on the other lines will come over. It is no problem to produce thousands of moon cakes a day.
"However, the production of mooncakes has just been expected to start recently. There are only two workers on the line. These two people are not skilled workers. One person can only produce 100 catties of mooncakes a day at most, that is, 500 pieces. But now it is very It’s too late, and there’s not enough time, and if we remove the defective products in the production process, there will definitely not be a thousand mooncakes by tomorrow.”
Xu Zhao settled for the next best thing, and asked, "How about five hundred? Is there any five hundred?"
Xu Jianguo calculated with lowered eyes, and said, "Yes, but it will have to wait until tomorrow afternoon. There must be five hundred yuan tomorrow afternoon."
Xu Zhao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's fine, I'll pick up five hundred tomorrow afternoon."
"it is good."
After bidding farewell to Xu Jianguo, Xu Zhao took Xu Fan out of the Xizhou Food Factory area, rode his bicycle to the bus stop again, parked the bicycle aside, and the father and son sat under the shade of a tree, waiting for the bus, taking A tree branch doodles on the ground.
"Father, what did you draw?" Xu Fan squatted beside Xu Zhao and asked.
Xu Zhao said casually, "The one drawn is Xu Fan." Actually, it's not, it's just a stick figure of a baby face.
Unexpectedly, Xu Fan immediately cheered: "Ah, it's so beautiful."
"..." Why are you so narcissistic!
Just like this while drawing and waiting, after waiting for about 30 minutes, there was still no bus coming. Xu Zhao suspected that there might be no more buses, but there was still another bus, so Xu Zhao couldn't bear it, so he asked a driver to ask. It was only later that I found out that there was a bus today, which was the bus he took in the morning, and it broke down again, so it was just sent for maintenance. I don’t know when it will come back, so the last bus is gone.
In other words, Xu Zhao and Xu Fan had no way to go home.
Xu Zhao looked down at Xu Fan.
Xu Fan looked at Xu Zhao with a small face, and asked anxiously, "Father, why isn't the big bus coming?"
Xu Zhao knelt down, looked at Xu Fan and said, "The big car won't be here today."
Xu Fan asked, "Why?"
"Because it's broken."
"It's broken." Xu Fan repeated, with a cute little face, as if he was thinking but couldn't think of anything, his watery eyes fell on Xu Zhao again, and asked, "Dad, what should I do?" ?”
Xu Zhao smiled and asked, "That's right, what should we do? Sanwazi, we won't be able to go home, are you afraid?"
Xu Fan immediately replied, "I'm not afraid."
"Why aren't you afraid?"
"Because my father is here."
Because my dad is here—
What a heartwarming sentence.
Xu Zhao's heart brightened instantly. He touched Xu Fan's chubby face and said, "Daddy made money today, so I will take you to a hotel and have a good meal."
"Stay in a hotel! Have a good meal!" Xu Fan happily repeated Xu Zhao's words. He didn't know what the situation was like now, as long as he was with his father.
In fact, Xu Zhao didn't know if there was a hotel at this time, nor did he know if there was a hotel in Xizhou City.
However, there must be a place to live. Before looking for a place to live, he had to talk to Xu's father and Xu's mother so that the elders would not be worried when they saw him and Xu Fan not going back. But the phone at Uncle Zhang's house was only installed yesterday, and he After borrowing it, I was only busy reading and writing letters to Uncle Zhang, but forgot to remember Uncle Zhang's home phone number, so I couldn't tell Mother Xu directly, so I had to find Cui Qingfeng.
So he took Xu Fan with him on a bicycle, left the bus station, found a shop nearby, and used the public phone in the shop to call Cui's family for a dime, but the other end rang four or five times, but no one answered. Could it be that the Cui family members were not at home, and when Xu Zhao thought that no one would pick it up, and was about to hang up, and called again later, a man's voice came from the other end: "Hi, hello."
Xu Zhao shouted, "Uncle."
Cui Dingchen's voice was as low as ever, and he asked from the other end, "Xu Zhao?"
