Rebirth of the house of thieves

After hearing Wang Yue's words, Lin Qiaoxiu smiled heartily, "Okay, find something for them to do, so that you and I, Uncle Jiang, don't worry about their running around and causing accidents. I'll leave it to you to sell watermelons, and you, Uncle Jiang, only sell vegetables. .”

"Thank you, Aunt Qiaoxiu!"

Wang Rui and the others quickly borrowed the scale and ran back.

Wang Rui returned the 20 yuan to Wang Yue, "The owner of that shop said he knew Uncle Dapeng, so he didn't need a deposit."

"Okay, give him a watermelon or some vegetables then. Go sell watermelons now."

Hearing what Wang Yue said, the little fat man had to admit the gap between himself and Wang Yue.

Wang Yue took out a pen and a notebook from his small backpack, and handed them to Zhang Yan, "Yan Yan, go and keep the books for them."

Zhang Yan took it without objection, "What about you?"

Chen Chunli thought that Zhang Yan would be upset by Wang Yue's order, so she couldn't help staring at them for a while in surprise.

Zhou Lanlan followed her gaze and whispered in her ear, "Zhang Yan treats Wang Yue well, we're all used to it now."

"I'm not going to bask in the sun." Wang Yue rested her chin, sitting lazily like a lazy cat.

Zhang Yan went to buy him a bottle of iced juice before looking for Wang Rui.

Wang Yue hid from the sun and drank the icy fruit juice, enjoying it very much.

Lin Qiaoxiu saw it, and sighed to Jiang Dapeng with a smile, "Yan Yan really has nothing to say to Yueyue."

Except for Chen Chunli's introverted personality, Little Fatty and Ribs are not stage-frightened, they put on a posture and yelled loudly

"Sell watermelons, sell watermelons, big, sweet watermelons!"

"Delicious watermelon, I still want to eat it!"

"Men eat to prosper in career, women eat to look beautiful, old eat to be healthy, young eat to grow up happily!" The little fat man actually uttered a doggerel.

Several passers-by couldn't help laughing, and they all came to buy a watermelon.

Sitting there alone, Wang Yue felt cooler, but soon became bored. Seeing his friends competing fiercely to attract guests, he couldn't sit still. He moved a small bench and moved his eyes to Zhang Yan, warning him not to make jokes. .

The corners of Zhang Yan's lips twitched, and he handed him the notebook and pen, "Xiaoyue, you keep the books."

Wang Yue nodded with satisfaction.Good enough.

Zhang Yan said in a low voice: "By the way, when I was buying breakfast just now, I saw Luo Dayong selling watermelons at another street corner." Luo Dayong was one of the villagers who grew watermelons with his family.

Wang Yue thought for a while, "It is estimated that other villagers are also in the town." If they all gather in Piaoyu Town, no one will get better.What's more, they are not the only ones selling watermelons in the whole town, there are people from other villages, and even watermelon dealers brought in watermelons from other places to the town to grab the market.

Zhang Yan looked at a few energetic people, "I'll go and have a look later."

Wang Yue nodded.

The sun rose higher and higher, and the scorching sun fell, scorching the watermelon.

People who come and go on the street have never seen a group of children selling watermelons. Looking at the watermelons here, they are round and look

It's really good, anyone who wants to buy is willing to come here to buy.The piles of watermelons in the carriage gradually became smaller.

Wang Yue swiftly cut another watermelon, cut it into small pieces for people to taste, and gave a piece to each of his friends to quench their thirst.

Taking advantage of his spare time, the little fat man wiped the sweat off his face and moved closer to Wang Yue. Seeing the word "positive" on the notebook, "Yueyue, how many did I sell?"

Wang Yuenian said: "Little Fatty has 7, Wang Rui has 7, Lan Lan has 9, Ribs has 6, Chun Li has 4. Yan Yan is the least, 3 must be criticized!"

Zhang Yan looked at him helplessly and smiled.

A middle-aged man who was picking watermelons laughed when he heard Wang Yue's last words, "You are so funny, I'll buy two, just remember your brother."

Zhang Yanbin thanked him politely, and carried the watermelon onto the scale.

Wang Yue also smiled sweetly at the uncle, "Thank you uncle for taking care of our business."

"You're welcome. Your watermelons are really sweet. I'll buy them again if you come tomorrow." The middle-aged man left satisfied.

Wang Yue kept coming up with ideas, and raised his voice and said, "Come on, everyone! After the watermelon is sold out, I will treat you to ice cream. Those who sell the most can eat an extra ice cream, and those who sell the least will be responsible for running errands. Yan Yan, do you want to eat ice cream?" come on."

Zhang Yan tapped him lightly on the head, "OK."

Chen Chunli seemed to be stimulated. When she saw someone passing by, she clenched her fist and walked over bravely, "Sister, buy a watermelon. Our watermelon is very sweet. If you don't believe me, you can taste it for free."

The young girl gave her a surprised look, smiled softly, and nodded before tasting, "Okay, let's get one. We have a lot of families, so pick the bigger one."

Chen Chunli blushed with excitement, "Okay! I, I will definitely pick the biggest one for you. Please wait."

Wang Yue and the others smiled encouragingly at her.

After the young girl left, Wang Yue added something to Chen Chunli and gave her a thumbs up, "Come on!"

"En." Chen Chunli nodded heavily.

Zhang Yan took the time to walk around the town, and he found that the watermelon farmers in the village were all in the town, but they were distributed in different streets or alleys, and he soon became concerned.

After working for nearly three hours, all the watermelons were finally sold out.

Wang Rui and the others sat on the ground without fear of being hot, sweating profusely, and their faces were flushed from the sun, but they all smiled excitedly.

"Read, how much did we sell?" Ribs asked impatiently.

Wang Yue asked Zhang Yan to buy ice cream.

Zhang Yan held a large watermelon in his left hand, and left with his electronic scale in his right hand.

Wang Yue looked at the book and said with a smile: "Everyone is doing very well. Wang Rui has 33, Little Fatty has 30, Ribs has 44, Lan Lan has 41, Chun Li has 28, and Yan Yan has 26."

Chen Chunli's face turned red again.In fact, everyone understood that Zhang Yan deliberately let them, including Chen Chunli.Zhang Yan is good-looking, and many people who want to buy watermelon will go to him directly, but Zhang Yan usually asks other people to entertain him, and he is responsible for collecting the money.

Chen Chunli secretly made up her mind that if there is a next time, she must be braver.

"It's sold a lot!" The little fat man asked expectantly, "How much can we share?"

Wang Yue calculated it easily, "Wang Rui, nine yuan and nine yuan, the whole number is ten yuan; fat man nine yuan; pork ribs, 13 yuan two; Lan Lan, twelve yuan three; Chunli eight four yuan."

"What about me?" Zhang Yan came back with a bag, and first gave Jiang Dapeng and Lin Qiaoxiu an ice cream each, then picked Wang Yue's favorite watermelon flavored ice cream for him, and distributed the rest to the others.

"You are a free labor force." Wang Yuexi took a sip of the ice cream and smiled.

Zhang Yan lowered his head and took a big bite off his ice cream.

Wang Yue remained calm, and when he was eating his own ice cream, he grabbed his wrist and took a big bite off his ice cream.

The friends are overjoyed.

Lin Qiaoxiu and Jiang Dapeng just had a little leisure at this time, eating ice cream and looking at the two children with smiles.

Before long, all the vegetables were sold out.

Lin Qiaoxiu and Jiang Dapeng distributed the money the children deserved to them.

Wang Rui and the others immediately went to the canteen and spent part of the money to buy their favorite snacks or toys.

The tractor "boom boom boom" took them to the way they came.

After returning to the village, several friends were still excited.

"Zhang Yan, Yueyue, I will hang out with you from now on!" The little fat man said carelessly, patting his fleshy chest.Thinking of the rhetoric he made up casually, Wang Yue felt that this kid is also good at something, which can be left for investigation, so he patted him on the shoulder, deliberately raised his voice, and said earnestly: "Well, follow us well, in the future, you will be indispensable." benefit!"

"Hehehe, Yueyue, you are so funny!" Zhou Lanlan and Chen Chunli hugged each other and laughed.

"Yueyue, why are you so cute?" Wang Rui looked at Wang Yue with a smile, and reached out to pinch his face.

Zhang Yan stopped him, and said lightly: "Okay, go back if you have nothing to do."

Wang Rui smiled and retracted his hand.

Wang Yue dragged Zhang Yan into the house in a hurry.

"Yanyan, go and pour me some water, I want to take a bath."

He was not bullying Zhang Yan, but Zhang Yan was not afraid of heat.In summer, most of the sweaty work is done by Zhang Yan.

"Run slowly." Zhang Yan let him drag him away.

Seeing this, the others bid farewell to Lin Qiaoxiu and Jiang Dapeng and went home one after another.

After dinner in the evening, the sun had just set.The sunset glow reddened the western sky, and countless dragonflies were flying in the low sky, clearly visible against the glow.The villagers who had been tiring all day could finally take a good rest at this time. With their rice bowls and chairs in their hands, they sat at the gate of the yard, eating and enjoying the shade. They chatted loudly with the neighbors on the left and right, and burst into bursts of hearty laughter from time to time.

Wang Yue and Zhang Yan took a shower again. Wearing comfortable and loose short-sleeved shorts and slippers, they walked slowly towards Wang Rui's house. They kept saying hello to people along the way, and villagers kept talking to them. .

Today, Zhang Yan is 13 years old, shrewd and capable, mature and steady, just like a little adult, and has done two major things to make a fortune in a row. The villagers no longer treat him as a child, and communicate with him as an adult. man's way.

A villager asked, "Zhang Yan, where are you and Yueyue going?"

Zhang Yan said bluntly, "Go to Uncle Qingshan's house."

"What do you want from him?" A villager asked curiously.

Zhang Yan said truthfully: "I noticed that the watermelons in the town are not very easy to sell today, so go discuss it with Uncle Qingshan and find a way."

"It's not easy to sell? Probably not?" Another villager smiled strangely, "I see that when they came back, they all came back with empty cars."

Zhang Yan glanced at him, but said nothing.

Another villager tentatively asked: "If we want to grow watermelons next year, can we also buy watermelon seedlings from Dapeng?"

As soon as these words came out, many villagers were moved.Wang Qingshan and the others returned home empty-handed with smiles a few days ago. They saw it, and it was a lie to say they were not envious.

Wang Yue raised his eyebrows slightly, and squeezed Zhang Yan's hand.

Zhang Yan simply stopped and looked around at everyone, "Of course it is possible, but there are two problems that must be resolved first."

"What?" The villagers admitted that Zhang Yan was very smart, but they didn't think he could really say one, two, three, and his tone was very casual.Zhang Yan didn't seem to see their expressions, "First, if there are more people growing watermelons, Uncle Jiang will need more guidance. Then he will care about whom? Second, everyone grows watermelons, so many Where are the watermelons sold?"

The villagers were taken aback.They still understand this simple truth.It's like growing peas suddenly a few years ago, and many people followed suit the next year. As a result, the price of peas plummeted, and many villagers lost money.

Seeing that they were stunned, Zhang Yan put on a sincere expression again, "Uncles, I have an idea, I wonder if you would like to listen to it." He is qualified to say this, because watermelon seeds are Wang Yue's.Jiang Dapeng is just a person on the bright side. "Yan Yan, tell me." Wang Fugui's voice suddenly sounded.

Zhang Yan turned his head and saw that he was standing outside the crowd with his rice bowl in his hand. He didn't know when he came.Apparently, their conversation had piqued his interest.

Zhang Yan smiled, "If you guys really want to grow watermelons, you can do this. Next year, you will study with Uncle Jiang for a year, at least to accumulate some experience, and then try to grow watermelons in the next year. You can plant fewer watermelons for the first time. Some, in case it doesn’t grow well, we can afford the loss. We can expand the planting area after learning experience. Maybe in the future our village can really become the hometown of watermelons, famous in the whole county, the whole province, and even the whole country.” Zhang Yan finally Said his and Wang Yue's ambitions, but at this time, none of the villagers present realized this.

The land of watermelons!

Everyone's heart skipped a beat when they heard it.

Wang Fugui reminded Zhang Yan, "But like you said, where do you sell it?"

Zhang Yan spread his hands and said uncertainly, "Selling to the county town? Selling to other places where there are no watermelons? This...isn't something I should worry about?"

Wang Fugui laughed.But Zhang Yan was right.

"Yan Yan, let's go." Wang Yue urged in a timely manner.

Zhang Yan took the opportunity to take him away, leaving behind a group of villagers who had no appetite to discuss enthusiastically.

Wang Yue and Zhang Yan didn't expect to convince them once, they left a trace in their hearts first.

After a while, the two arrived at Wang Rui's house.

Wang Rui was very happy to see them, and ran out of the house to greet them, "Yueyue, Zhang Yan, come in quickly."

Zhang Yan looked at Wang Qingshan, "Uncle Qingshan."

"Zhang Yan, read and sit down. Wang Rui, bring them milk." Wang Qingshan put out his cigarette and asked with a smile, "Are you here to find me?"

Wang Rui glanced at Zhang Yan in surprise, but didn't interrupt. He opened the refrigerator, took two boxes of milk and handed them to Wang Yue and Zhang Yan, then sat quietly aside.

Zhang Yan nodded, inserted the straw for Wang Yue, and said, "I took a look in the town this morning. Several uncles are selling watermelons in the town, and it can be seen that the sales are very slow today."

Wang Qingshan sighed, "Yeah, it was selling well a few days ago. It is estimated that those watermelon dealers came to our town after hearing about this, and as a result, everyone's watermelons couldn't be sold. Although I came back with an empty car today, it took longer than the previous few days. What do you think?"

"Today's situation should only be temporary, because it is an indisputable fact that our watermelon tastes better than others." Zhang Yan is very confident in his family's watermelon seeds, "So, it is no problem for us to compete with other watermelon vendors. But even so, our nine families are all crowded in the town, and our own people beat our own people. This is not the best solution." The "nine families" he said refers to the seven families who bought watermelon seeds, his family and Jiang Dapeng's family .

Wang Qingshan straightened up interested, "What do you mean?"
