Think childish

The eggshell fell in?

Qiao Zhi regained her senses in a hurry, and stirred the pot with chopsticks. The noodle soup was thick and whitish, bubbling and bubbling, and it became more and more invisible.She simply threw the chopsticks, turned around and pulled Guo Qingshan and said: "Go out to eat."

Going to a restaurant?

Guo Qingshan rubbed his hands excitedly: "Where are you going to eat?"

"Go to third uncle's house and ask him to serve you a bowl of braised pork noodles."

"Sister, I love you to death!" Guo Qingshan yelled.

"...can you wish me a treat?"

"I wish my sister a long life and a hundred years of happiness like Donghai Shoubi Nanshan Songhe..."

"To shut up!"

"Oh."

"Third uncle," Qiao Zhi said hello to the man behind the cupboard, pointing to Guo Qingshan, "give him a bowl of noodles and some meat, focus on the taste."

"OK, find a place to sit by yourself."

Before the noodles were cooked, Qiao Zhi asked him: "Which furniture factory did your mother go to? Why can't you buy furniture?"

Guo Qingshan said: "Which other furniture factory can it be, just the one on Zhongxing Street! My mother said that the furniture factory is big, with many materials and styles, and there is no other small furniture factory to choose from."

"Really? How long has it been in line?" Qiao Zhi asked again.

Guo Qingshan counted on his fingers: "Three or four days..."

While talking, Uncle Li came over with a noodle bowl and sat down next to the two of them, then continued the conversation and said, "Qingshan is talking about the one next to Yangyang Department Store, the 'Belle Epoque Furniture City', with a big frontage and a proud three-story building. There was a flood of fashionable furniture. During this time, the people queuing up at their house almost went for two miles. No, my daughter-in-law went there before dawn, and she hasn’t come back yet, nor Do you know if you got the ticket?"

Guo Qingshan put his mouth full and smirked and said: "Hey, then third uncle, your daughter-in-law may be rowing with my mother!"

Uncle Li smiled, patted his head, and scolded him "Stupid boy" with a joking smile.

Qiao Zhi asked again: "Why is everyone crowded together to change furniture?"

Uncle Li raised his hand, and gestured to the south meaningfully: "Isn't it the wind blowing over there? The country needs reform, opening up, prosperity, and economic recovery. Once the common people have money, Who doesn't want to live a better life? It's just a pity that this 'logistics force' can't keep up with the rhythm, so it's just a collision?"

Uncle Li is a rough man who has not read much, and what he speaks is only vernacular.If there were an economist sitting here at this time, he would succinctly sum up his remarks in six words: The contradiction between supply and demand is prominent.

Qiao Zhi didn't read much, and she didn't have much social experience, but all of this didn't prevent her from smelling something else.

"Third Uncle, there doesn't seem to be a large-scale forest farm in this city, does it?" Qiao Zhi asked.

Uncle Li nodded and said: "No, not only in our city, but also in several nearby cities. Most of the wood used by the wood processing factories in our city is transported from several nearby provinces and cities. Yes, isn’t there a lot of people changing furniture recently? My daughter-in-law’s friend who works in a furniture factory said they didn’t have time to catch up with the overtime, and the raw materials are also very tight...” When the third uncle said this, he looked at her and paused. "What are you thinking about, little girl? Don't you still want to compete with someone from the forest farm?"

Qiao Zhi hurriedly waved her hand and said, "How can I be so capable? I can't turn into a forest out of thin air..."

The third uncle nodded and smiled, and was about to answer her words, but she continued slowly: "Although you can't compete with others for jobs, it's always okay to pass a pair of chopsticks, right?"

Guo Qingshan: "..."

What are these two talking about in such a mess?

***

Coming out of the third uncle's shop, Qiao Zhi dismissed Guo Qingshan and went to Dawang Road to find a teapot.

"Province A forest farm? What are you doing asking about this?" Teapot asked strangely, "Isn't your supermarket running well? Why are you interested in the timber business again?"

"Just say can you find out for me?"

"It's easy! Just wait for my news." The teapot responded with a gulp.

Four days later, Teapot came back from Province A, went straight to the supermarket to find her, and brought back the news she most wanted to know: "You guessed right, the price quoted by Province A is actually higher than the price in our city." Even lower! Are those lumberjacks stupid? Now that the demand for lumber is so high, they don’t even know about the price increase?”

"They're not stupid." Qiao Zhi said, "I've been to several furniture factories in the past two days, and I've heard some news. Most of the furniture materials in our city actually come from the supply of small forest farms in this city, and the wood from province A. Although the price is low, it is too far away, except for larger furniture factories, such as 'Belle Epoque', it is difficult for small-scale furniture factories to transport goods back from outside."

Teapot nodded and said, "That's right. I've been to large and small forest farms in Province A these days, and found that their focus is on the felling and processing of wood, and the transportation part is indeed still blank. "

Qiao Zhi looked at him firmly.

The teapot is not stupid, and immediately reacted after receiving her gaze: "You mean, the middle piece...we can..."

"That's right!" Qiao Zhi said excitedly, "The news about the timber market is currently unequal due to time and distance. We just want to take advantage of this loophole. We have to build a bridge between them, we have to eat the forest farms in province A!"

"Then we can collect bridge tolls?" He joked, then frowned again, "But this requires a complete and efficient transportation line, which costs a lot, and everyone has to consciously cross the bridge ..."

"We have always had this line." Qiao Zhi looked at him pointedly.

The teapot thought for a while, then stared slightly: "Luo Hai?"

"That's right." Qiao Zhi organized her wording, and said seriously, "People who walk the 'secret path' for a long time will eventually sprain their feet. Now that we have the opportunity to make money in the open, why don't we go?" ?”

The teapot was lost in thought.

He also heard similar words from Luo Hai two years ago.At that time Luo Hai told him that he was a little scared.After hearing this, he was surprised. When was Luo Hai afraid?

But for those who often walk in the dark, who can always control the darkness with ease and be its master, so as to ensure that they will not fall down?If you often walk by the river, your shoes will not only get wet, but if you are not lucky one day, you will fall into the river with your shoes.

At that time, although Luo Hai wanted to retire, he suffered from lack of opportunity.As for why he cared so much about the previous project in G City, and worked so hard, Teapot knew very well that it was just for a different way of life.

Teapot is good at everything, but he is a bit stubborn by nature.

Although he admitted in his heart that Qiao Zhi's words were reasonable, but he felt uncomfortable no matter how he thought about suddenly asking him to change the life he had worked so hard with his brothers.

"You make me think again," he said finally.

The spring is cold and cold, and the young are killed by the cold. 【Note】

The air in the early spring still has the aftertaste of the cold winter, and it is still very difficult for many students to get up early.Of course, there will never be a shortage of people in this world who "go straight to the challenge".

"Qiu Shui..." the girl yawned halfway through the call, holding her schoolbag, blinking her eyes, squeezing out the remaining sleepiness from the corners of her eyes. "Why do you arrive so early every day!"

Qiu Shui paused his pen, took a look at her, and said with a smile, "Tingting, your braid is crooked."

"Ah?" The girl woke up instantly, rushed to the seat in two or three steps, and took out a small mirror from the pocket of the desk. When she took a picture, the corners of her mouth collapsed halfway. "It's all my mother's fault, she keeps urging me, it's so annoying."

The mirror was too small for her to use, so she turned her head and asked the person behind her for help: "Qiu Shui, can you help me braid my hair? I can't see it myself."

Qiu Shui opened her mouth to refuse, but Tingting immediately added: "Just tie this side for me! I promise I won't waste your time!" She pointed to the high braid on the right.

"Okay." Qiu Shui put down his pen and moved his fingers quickly.

At this time, there were only the two of them in the classroom, Tingting turned her back to her, playing with her left braid boredly and said: "What are you writing so early in the morning?"

Qiu Shui kept moving his hands, and said concisely: "Composition."

Tingting said "ah", turned her head suddenly, and said excitedly: "Is it the national composition competition that Teacher Wu recommended you to? Have you passed the preliminary round?"

Qiu Shui gave her a helpless look, pushed her head back, and replied, "Well, it's over, this is the composition for the rematch."

Tingting turned her head again and said excitedly: "I knew you would pass! Do you have to go to the capital to compete in the finals?"

"I guess so." Qiu Shui scratched her face while pulling at her braid, "Can you still weave it?"

"Edit, edit, edit!" Tingting turned around again, and after two seconds, she suddenly sighed, "I'm so envious of you! You are beautiful and have such good grades, but the key is that you wake up so early every day! What on earth are you doing?" got up?"

Qiu Shui neatly pulled up the last rubber band, threw the braid in front of her, and said, "Just open your eyes, lift the quilt, and sit up."

"Tch!" Tingting grabbed a braid in one hand and made a face at her. The classroom door was pushed open again, and the students began to enter the classroom one after another.

At noon, Tingting ate her food pick and choose, the autumn water bowl was almost bottomed out, and her bowl was still full.

"You have a bad appetite?" Qiu Shui gave her a strange look, and took another big mouthful of rice while speaking.

"I can't eat, I'm not hungry." Tingting looked at the hair on the top of her head listlessly, and finally couldn't stand it anymore, she leaned closer and whispered, "Did you not eat this morning? Your face is almost buried in the rice bowl inside."

Qiu Shui looked up at her in a daze: "I have eaten breakfast, but this is lunch."

"I know this is lunch." Tingting looked at her with hatred and hesitated, "Are you enough? Why don't you eat my bowl too?"

"You don't eat?"

"I really can't eat anymore." Tingting pushed the bowl towards her.

Qiu Shui didn't mind at all, and started to feed it into his mouth as soon as he put it in front of him.

Tingting looked at her enviously with her chin on her hand and said, "I really envy you, you don't gain weight after eating so much, you have small arms and legs."

Qiu Shui: "..."

Seeing her expression, Tingting hurriedly made a detour: "Well, I know that you eat so much food just to gain weight and height, but Qiushui, what does this height have to do with eating? No matter how much we girls eat It is also impossible to grow taller than boys."

"Who said that, I—"

"I'm going to talk about your sister again, right?" Tingting looked at her with an expression of "I knew it" and shrugged.

She has met Qiushui's sister. She accompanied Qiushui to the school when the school report started. It is said that she is three or four years older than them. She used to be a student of Chengbei Middle School. She is not yet an adult. She is really tall. I have to have a 175, maybe it will grow again in the future, it's scary!

Tingting comforted her and said: "Don't be too impatient, you are still so young, you will grow taller if you grow slowly."

The whole school knows that Qiu Shui is a child prodigy who jumped up a grade. Their homeroom teacher, Old Wu, always talks about her and praises her.Qiu Shui is also really competitive. He has been in the school for almost a year, and he has never fallen from the first position once.

Thinking of this, Tingting suddenly felt a little melancholy.

"Qiu Shui, I passed by the office the other day and heard Lao Wu say that you are going to skip a grade and go to the third year of junior high school. After this semester, you won't be studying the second year of junior high school with us, will you?"

There is nothing to hide about this, Qiu Shui nodded honestly.

"Hey..." Tingting frowned anxiously, scratching her heart and wanting to say something, but she didn't know how to say, "Why are you working so hard? Why don't we stay and study together? If you leave After that, no one will help me with my homework, and no one will play with me anymore."

After finishing the second bowl of rice successfully, Qiu Shui wiped his mouth in satisfaction, and said casually, "The person I want to catch up with walks too fast, so I can't stay, and I can't slow down."

The author has something to say: [Note]: From Song Shi Puji's "Five Lanterns Huiyuan" Volume [-]: "The spring is cold and cold, and the young are killed by freezing."

Just ask me, is this sweet?
