Starting out as a drug dealer in 1988

About half an hour later, the two of them finally finished their breakfast while chatting.

"Fatty, I really have to leave. I have a lot of things waiting to be done at home. I'll come over next time when I'm free." Zhao Wenhao was a little reluctant, but he had no choice.

Yan Bin wiped his mouth and pretended to be indifferent. "Get out of here now. It's like no one wants you here. But next time you come, don't bring me any local specialties. You're not rich yourself."

Zhao Wenhao smiled faintly without further explanation. Then he picked up his backpack and turned to leave.

Only after walking seven or eight meters did he raise his right hand and wave.

Yan Bin felt a little sad as he watched his best friend walk away.

But everyone has their own things to do now, and we can no longer be together every day like we did in high school.

Hours flew by.

When Zhao Wenhao returned to Zhaojiayu again, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon.

"Is Wenhao back?"

"Mouse, how's it going? Is everything going well?"

"Wenhao, you haven't been here these few days, and your dad has started to slack off again. I just saw him hiding at Gangzi's house and playing Poker."

Although exhausted from the journey, Zhao Wenhao cheered up when he saw the enthusiasm of the villagers and greeted everyone he met.

Of course, there are some people who are more concerned about when the payment for the goods will be received.

This cannot be blamed, after all, everyone paid for the goods themselves and then sold them on credit to Zhao Wenhao.

And we had agreed that it would last for one week.

Now that the time is almost up, everyone will of course hope to get the money as soon as possible.

Only what is truly in your pocket is yours.

"Uncle, wait for me to go back and wash up and have a meal. Come over around five o'clock to get the money."

"Big Dog, you're my elementary school classmate. We grew up together, naked as a family. Don't you have any trust in me? Come over at five o'clock, and don't be late."

"Slug, I'm out crabbing again. Any results?"

……

It was originally a journey of more than ten minutes from the village entrance to his home, but Zhao Wenhao kept greeting people along the way until half an hour later when he finally returned home.

Sure enough, at the door, Wei Chunlan and Zhao Wenjing were busy, but Zhao Aiguo was nowhere to be seen.

"Where is Dad?" Zhao Wenhao frowned.

Wei Chunlan hesitated, revealing an awkward smile. "Maybe he went out for something? Why are you looking for him? Have you eaten? There are some leftovers from lunch. I'll heat them up for you."

After saying that, without waiting for Zhao Wenhao to speak again, he hurriedly ran towards the temporary stove.

Zhao Wenhao shook his head, not knowing what to say.

In his opinion, Zhao Aiguo's behavior was largely condoned by Wei Chunlan. Unfortunately, he had talked to Wei Chunlan many times, but the effect was limited.

In desperation, we can only turn a blind eye and muddle through.

As long as it's not too excessive, Zhao Wenhao doesn't bother to care too much.

"Wenhao, come here for a moment. I have something to tell you."

As soon as Zhao Wenhao finished washing up, Zhao Wenjing came over from the side and pulled him to the corner.

Zhao Wenhao was a little curious, "Sister, what's the matter?"

"Our dad went to Uncle Zhao Gang's house to play cards again, and mom gave him thirty yuan. I saw it with my own eyes." Zhao Wenjing muttered, a little unhappy.

"Well, forget it. Let's just consider it as buying peace of mind." Zhao Wenhao shook his head and said helplessly, "Let's not talk about him anymore. Have you continued to receive goods over the past two days?"

"Yes, we collected about 400 kilograms of honeysuckle, but there is basically no bupleurum left. In total, we collected less than 20 kilograms. Here is the account, take a look."

Zhao Wenjing hurried to get the account book, intending to explain everything to Zhao Wenhao one by one.

"It's only over 400 kilograms." Zhao Wenhao flipped through the notebook in his hand, glanced at it, and then stuffed it into his backpack. "Is it because they don't have the money to take it, or are they worried that we won't pay?"

"It's a bit of both. Some people really don't have the money to take delivery of the goods, so they're waiting for you to come back and settle the previous accounts. Some of the goods have actually been collected, but they haven't been delivered yet. I guess they're worried that you won't pay the previous accounts on time."

Zhao Wenjing pouted with some disdain.

"That's normal. After all, it's not a small amount. Some families pay close to a thousand yuan." Zhao Wenhao replied calmly, "Put aside your work for now. Notify everyone to come at five o'clock to collect their money and settle their bills."

"Okay, I'll go over now." Zhao Wenjing took off the work gloves on his hands and put them aside.

As for Zhao Wenhao, he quickly took advantage of the time and ate a few mouthfuls of rice.

"Uncle, your family's total is 326 yuan. Please count it and see if the amount is correct."

"Yes, yes, no problem. Haha, Wenhao, you are a very particular child."

"Slug, here's your 254 yuan, take it or leave it."

"You stupid rat! If you call me a slug again, I'll get mad at you. This was back in elementary school, and you've been calling me that for over ten years now."

"Damn it! I haven't even gotten over you for calling me a rat yet. I'm as strong as a bull now, how can I be a rat?"

"You stupid rat! Tomorrow I'll find two cats, one male and one female."

"Get lost, I don't have time for you. Remember to send some crabs over later, I'll steam them tonight."

"It's a beautiful thought."

"Big Dog, this is your share."

……

In the evening, villagers came one after another.

After more than an hour of hard work, Zhao Wenhao finally settled all the outstanding payments for the goods.

"Everyone, work harder. This is the last crop of honeysuckle this year. I'll close after we harvest it. If you want to make money, hurry up. The total output is limited."

Finally finished his work, Zhao Wenhao stood up and stretched.

"Haozi, this is all our capital. If you can settle a batch of payment first, maybe we can collect more." Big dog Zhao Dagou licked his face and came over.

"Come here and let me see how big your face is." Zhao Wenhao glared at the big dog unhappily. "According to what you said, I'm the one paying for all the goods. Come and weigh me to see if I have enough meat for you guys to eat."

Zhao Wenhao would not be fooled by this guy. Anyway, he has not encountered any other competitors in Ping'an County for the time being. The meat is in his own pot, so why should he advance the money!

Besides, if you really need to advance the money, the cost will be no small amount.

It would cost more than 10,000 yuan to build a house, and he really couldn't afford it at the moment.

Da Gou still wanted to build friendship based on their normal relationship, but unfortunately Zhao Wenhao kicked him away.

So and so.

The days go by, but life remains calm.

When November 11th arrived, Zhao Wenhao finally announced the temporary closure of the business.

There was no other way. The last batch of goods only collected more than 300 kilograms of honeysuckle. Some villagers even ran to the neighboring county to collect it.

But the production capacity is limited, and the output of honeysuckle grown in other counties is still quite different from that of Ping'an County.
