Chapter 395 Five Pounds of Spare Ribs

On the humming green train, Zhou Bingkun was not happy at all as if he was going on a long journey for the first time in his life. He had no intention of appreciating the beautiful scenery along the way southward.

He lay on the middle berth of the train sleeper compartment and subconsciously placed his hand near the corner of his clothes. There was a patch that Zheng Juan had sewn with needle and thread, which cost five thousand yuan. He had never seen so much money in his life, let alone owned it. He was very nervous and felt that everyone passing by was staring at him and trying to get his money.

The sleeper berths on the train were not easy to sit on, and there were not many people. He felt that if it was an ordinary hard seat, he might have scared himself.

He went south nervously all the way to Pengcheng. Of course, it was not called Pengcheng at this time, but Baoan County. It was not until January 1979 that Baoan was abolished and Pengcheng was established.

He got off the train tiredly and followed the crowd out of the station. After asking around, he found a hotel far away from the station and with a relatively large scale. He showed his letter of introduction and checked in. He knew that there were many people coming and going near the station, and it was a place of trouble and was not safe.

After settling down, he went out to eat a simple hot meal and did nothing else. He returned to the hotel, locked the door, and lay on the bed and fell asleep. Fearing that he would lose money, he had not slept well in the past few days of taking the train to the south.

After a deep sleep, he got up and went out to eat, and then wandered around here. Until, he saw a young man wearing a black watch of a different style on his wrist.

"Hello, comrade, I want to ask, where did you buy your watch?" Seeing his vigilant eyes, Zhou Bingkun said enthusiastically: "Don't worry, I don't mean anything else, I just think it looks good, and I also want to buy two pieces to go home for my son to wear, so that he will be happy."

...

"Old lady, what do you think of what I said?"

In the cafeteria of the First Hospital of the City, after a long speech, Wang Yan smiled and looked at Qu Xiuzhen, who was sitting opposite and eating a little bit.

This old lady was really proud of Zhou Bingkun and was really good to Zhou Bingkun. After all, Zhou Bingkun is down-to-earth, hardworking, kind and enthusiastic, and treats people with sincerity. He is a decent and honest man, which is commendable. What's more, he saved her leg, and Zhou Bingkun never asked for anything, and he didn't ask for favors, so it's normal that he is better.

This morning, the old lady went to the soy sauce factory for a walk. Of course, it's a walk, but she actually rode her bicycle all the way there. After all, the soy sauce factory is on the outskirts of the city, and the provincial party committee compound is in the city, not close. She can be regarded as exercising. She usually goes to the soy sauce factory, sugar factory, and other factories that she has managed to see and learn about.

After checking the soy sauce factory, she habitually asked the accompanying factory director about Zhou Bingkun's recent situation. As a result, she learned from the factory director that Zhou Bingkun had applied for unpaid leave, and it was the city leaders who called to approve it. She immediately found Cao Debao, who was on good terms with Zhou Bingkun and was still working in the slag workshop, to ask him questions. Seeing that Cao Debao didn't know, she went directly to the First Hospital of the City. She knew that Wang Yan must have done Zhou Bingkun's business. They were a family, so they must know everything.

Wang Yan was also familiar with the old lady. Zhou Bingkun had brought Qu Xiuzhen and Ma Shouchang here and prescribed them medicine to regulate their bodies. After that, when they felt unwell, they would come to see her and had a good chat.

"What you said makes sense. I also feel something." Qu Xiuzhen sighed: "But you let Bingkun do that now, he is not right after all."

"Now it's not just Bingkun who is doing this. Many people are doing it. They come in from Hong Kong Island, pass through Bao'an, and then spread all over the country. As far as I know, there are many capable people in Jichun who have become millionaires. It doesn't matter if there is not one more Bingkun. And old lady, you also know that Bingkun is too honest. The way he looks now, I can only say that he will not starve in the future. , but if you want to achieve something, that's still a little short of it. You always have to be enterprising, adventurous, and dare to think and do. "

"Why do you have to achieve something? Bingkun is such a good kid, but you have led him astray."

Wang Yan shook his head and smiled: "How can it be wrong to want to achieve something, and don't you know what the situation is in the Zhou family? His eldest brother and second sister are both top students in Beijing University, one married the daughter of a high-ranking official, and the other married a famous poet. What about Bingkun? He said he graduated from junior high school, but he actually graduated from elementary school. He married a The daughter-in-law was promised to someone else before. Yes, he took good care of his mother, and didn't let others worry about the family affairs, so that they could feel at ease outside, which was a great contribution.

But what about Bingkun himself? When the family reunited before, people would say that the children of the Zhou family were promising, and two of them were college students, but no one mentioned Bingkun. And, you should also know that the old lady met the relatives who were high-ranking officials a while ago. You didn't see Bingkun's father like that, so happy, he drank himself and was confused for two days. And the neighbors who came to flatter him and build relationships, so Dun praised him, but didn't mention Bingkun.

Then tell me, they are all born of the same parents, how can Bingkun feel good? Doesn't he want to do something to make his parents happy and proud? Doesn't he want his father to pat his chest proudly when he mentions him to others? When others mention him and say, "Oh, the Zhou family is amazing, the youngest son is a millionaire", that feeling..."

Qu Xiuzhen waved her hand and said, "Don't fool me. After all, what he is doing now is not legitimate, so how can his father be proud? It's good enough that he doesn't kick him to death."

Wang Yan took a sip of the soup and said with a smile: "It's just a small fight. Let him practice his courage first and let him go out to gain some knowledge. Don't worry, although it was illegal, you still don't know what Bingkun is like." No, there won’t be any problem. It’s still a long time, old lady, you have to take your time.”

"Yes, you have more truths than I do. I won't say any more. It has nothing to do with me anyway, so I'm just superfluous. And..." Qu Xiuzhen looked at Wang Yan unhappily: "Don't call me old lady. ”

"Okay, okay, Aunt Qu, Aunt Qu, that's it."

Wang Yan chatted and had lunch with Qu Xiuzhen, then sent her to the entrance of the hospital. He watched her ride her bicycle away before going back to continue her afternoon work.

Just like what he told Zhou Bingkun, people have a longer-term perspective and are more flexible. Qu Xiuzhen was also afraid that Zhou Bingkun would really go astray, so she knew it and would not tell Zhou Bingkun to order it for him like that. After all, it was just unfair, and it didn't harm anyone, so it wouldn't be that bad.

After a busy afternoon, Wang Yan and Zheng Guangming rode bicycles back to Lao Zhou's house.

Far away, I saw a car parked in front of Lao Zhou's house.

Wang Yan smiled and said hello to the driver who was standing beside him in a daze, then parked his bicycle in the yard, rubbed Wang Jianye and Zhou Jianbang's little heads, and led them into the house.

"Sister-in-law Dongmei is here. Why is there a car parked outside? Isn't she going to school?"

Hao Dongmei smiled and said: "My mother sent a car to take me here. I didn't come to see you for something."

"Yeah." Wang Yan raised his head and motioned for her to continue.

Li Suhua beside her was smiling from ear to ear: "Dongmei is pregnant, come here and let you take a look."

Hao Dongmei nodded and said, "Yes, I didn't feel right this afternoon, so I went to the hospital for a checkup. I thought I was getting older after all, so I wanted you to see if there was anything I should pay attention to. I happened to come over to tell my mother the good news."

She was still very nervous when she spoke, but Li Suhua was too happy to notice. Zheng Juan, who was standing on the side, knew the situation. Zhou Bingkun had talked to her about it before, but she obviously wouldn't tell her.

And she came to see Wang Yan because she was afraid that the previous reason would cause the child to be unstable, and she would be in trouble if it fell. If Wang Yan didn't tell the truth, she wouldn't even be able to sleep.

Li Suhua anxiously waved her hand and urged: "Xiao Yan, show her quickly first."

It's just after the National Day, and it's been almost a month and a half since Zhou Bingyi left. It's really the time. Wang Yan shook his head, smiled, and looked at Hao Dongmei: "Show me the hospital's inspection report."

Hao Dongmei quickly took the file bag on the side and was fully prepared. She knew that Wang Yan knew Western medicine because when she was seeing a doctor before, she saw a patient holding a film and asked specifically about it. What I learned is that everything related to the disease can be used.

After reading the examination report, Wang Yan took his pulse again, and after getting to know his physical condition, he said: "There is nothing wrong for the time being, but you are not young anymore, and there are still certain risks in pregnancy. You must be extra careful. I will give you a prescription." Medications that are used to replenish qi and prevent miscarriage should be avoided at the same time..."

Hao Dongmei's situation is indeed a bit bad, and there is indeed a possibility of spontaneous miscarriage. But in her case, once she miscarries, her hope of having another child is really slim. Wang Yan gave a long list of precautions. In summary, he just stayed calm.

After listening to the elder's instructions, Hao Dongmei pondered for a long time, then looked at Wang Yan who was holding a pen and writing a prescription: "How about I take a year off from school?"

Wang Yan folded the prescription twice and handed it to her: "This is the best choice. There are not so many people at school. You are still safer and more secure at home. You can't be careless at this time."

Hao Dongmei's academic performance is not very good. In terms of talent, she is really not as good as Zhou Bingyi and Zhou Rong, brothers and sisters. Any excuse that she is busy with work and delays her studies is just an excuse. Besides, her family conditions are good, so it doesn't matter if she takes a break from school or not.

"Okay, then I understand. Thank you, Wang Yan." Hao Dongmei turned to look at Li Suhua and Zheng Juan: "Mom, Juan'er, I'll go back first, and I won't stay home for dinner. I have to go back Discuss it with my mother, she is still waiting for news from me. "

Li Suhua waved her hand and said: "Okay, we won't miss that meal. Go back quickly and don't let your mother worry about you. You must pay attention. Listen to Xiao Yan and don't be careless."

"Don't worry, Mom, I know everything, let's go." Hao Dongmei packed her things, went out, got in the car, and left neatly.

She is not stupid, she is still studying medicine, but she has never heard that there are so many worries about pregnancy, but it is just because it is difficult to talk to Li Suhua. Basically, he told her clearly that the child could not be saved and there would be no more children in the future.

After seeing Hao Dongmei off, Wang Yan and Zheng Guangming helped Zheng Juan put the food on the table, and the family gathered around the table to eat dinner.

Li Suhua asked: "Xiaoyan, is there something wrong with Dongmei's child? Why do you say so many things? It won't work if you don't give in to this." She is not stupid, she has given birth to three children. It's just that I couldn't say anything just now, for fear of affecting Hao Dongmei.

"Well, is she old? She has never given birth before, so she must be more careful now." Wang Yan ate his food and said with relief: "Auntie, you don't have to worry, you'll be fine if you pay more attention. Dong Dong Sister-in-law Mei’s family is in good condition and there is a nanny here, so there will definitely be no problem.”

"That's true." Li Suhua nodded and said, "Xiaoyan, my aunt can't help. You are a doctor. Pay more attention to Dongmei to avoid any accidents."

Wang Yan responded with a smile: "Okay, don't worry, auntie, I will pay attention. Hurry up and eat, Zheng Juan's craftsmanship is getting better and better, and she is almost catching up with the master chef in the hotel." Li Suhua's mood is understandable, this For several years, every letter written to Zhou Bingyi contained something about the child, and I was thinking about it.

Zheng Juan smiled and nodded, pretending not to care and asked: "Brother, when will Bingkun come back?"

Although she had sent two letters back, she was still worried. After all, she was the one who sewed the money. Although she didn’t know what she was doing, it was natural and Luo Shibin’s lessons were there. It's just that she believes that Wang Yan will not harm Zhou Bingkun, and Zhou Bingkun has the final say in family affairs. Even though she is unhappy, she can't stop him. I haven't had a good night's sleep recently, and I'm always worried about suddenly receiving the news that Zhou Bingkun has been arrested.

"It's almost time. He called me today and said that he had just arrived in the capital and would be back after staying there for three to five days."

After getting the correct answer, Zheng Juan felt relieved for the time being, and everyone ate happily. Wang Yan answered a few kids' questions about the capital. The main reason was that he heard that his biological father had gone to the capital. Zhou Jianhua and Zhou Jianbang were a little yearning for it. Wang Jianye was still young when he went there, and his memory has faded after such a long time. It makes him sad to think about it. They all couldn't move and started to yearn for it. Wang Yan happily told stories about the capital city, which was like giving a history lesson, and Li Suhua listened with great interest...

Not much different from what Wang Yan said, Zhou Bingkun returned to Jichun six days later. The happiest person was Zheng Juan, and the happiest ones were the three cubs, because they not only had delicious food, but also some new toys. Of course Li Suhua was also happy, but she didn't know the key. Otherwise, her happiness would be as happy as Zheng Juan's.

Zhou Bingkun came back at noon, talked to his relatives, and took his children to take a bath in the public bath, so he did not go to Wang Yan immediately. Everyone was back, and it wasn't long before Wang Yan saw him again after getting off work in the evening.

Zhou Bingkun sat in the yard and greeted with a smile: "Brother, Guangming."

"Brother Bingkun." Zheng Guangming quickly parked the car, and then quickly stepped forward to get close.

Wang Yan nodded with a smile and looked at Zhou Bingkun. Except for being a little darker, he is still the same. There was a brilliance in his eyes that he had never seen before. He was not the same person.

After Zhou Bingkun dismissed Zheng Guangming, Wang Yan took two steps forward and patted his shoulder: "Yes, I feel a lot more energetic after this trip."

Yes, it’s the spirit. The original Zhou Bingkun rode his bicycle out to run business every day, meeting different people, doing the same thing, and receiving a fixed salary. Back home, my wife and children are on the hot bed, and I talk about my loved ones all day long, day after day. This kind of life has lasted for five years since he registered with Zheng Juan in 1973. He has no direction and no thought about the future.

But after I went there this time, everything was different. He had more ideas, and his life had infinite possibilities. He felt that he had grasped fate and gave it a few big mouths. It was an indescribable pleasure. There is a vigorous desire for progress in his eyes, which is greed and ambition.

"Have you made a lot of money? Can you lose your energy?" Zhou Bingkun grinned: "Brother, you are right. I have been to several households worth ten thousand yuan a few times. Of course, I have to be as rich as you. That's it. If you lie down, five thousand will turn into ten thousand. Next time, ten thousand will turn into twenty thousand. "Oh, that's great."

Wang Yan lit a cigarette and shouted into the room, telling them to eat first. Then he and Zhou Bingkun went to the next house: "Let me know how you did it."

Zhou Bingkun nodded and sat down, grinned at his good brother, took out a box of Huazi from his pocket, lit it and took a long breath, coughed and said, "I didn't dare to sleep since I got in the car..."

After listening to his explanation, Wang Yan also had a clear understanding. It's simple to say, just go there and find people who use new things, and then follow the clues and ask the cargo owners all the way. After bargaining for the goods, go to the train station to inquire about the freight trains heading north. After finding the channel, take money to ask for directions. Buy peace. After arriving in the capital, I searched for those treacherous and recalcitrant bulk goods and shipped them out in large numbers.

It sounds simple, but the process is still full of dangers. If one link is not done well, it means both people and goods will be wasted. Zhou Bingkun was very cautious. When purchasing goods, he found several groups who specialized in traveling to and from Hong Kong Island before placing an order. As for transporting goods north, he does not have direct access. Instead, he went around several times and passed by passenger trains, and finally settled not far from the capital before entering Beijing.

Of course, Zhou Bingkun himself didn't have such a thorough idea. This was what Wang Yan taught him during the class. However, he didn't teach in such detail, he just gave a general idea. After all, this was Zhou Bingkun's first time out and he did something improper. It would be easy for problems to arise if he searched blindly. Moreover, those who do this business are not good people, and they will be beaten lightly, and they may even lose their lives.

Of course he couldn't let Zhou Bingkun go out without taking care of him. He also gave him a few phone numbers, which was very safe. Fortunately, Zhou Bingkun didn't use it, and the journey went smoothly.

Being able to make money safely now is partly due to luck, but also partly due to Zhou Bingkun's own ability. These years of sales have not been in vain, and I am quite proficient in dealing with all parties. This is an essential skill for doing things. It is important to know what you want and try to know what others think.

"Well done, aren't you scared this time?"

"Aren't you asking questions knowingly? To be honest, what I earned on this trip is what I earned without food or drink for ten years. It's worth being arrested and imprisoned for a few years."

"You are too short-sighted." Wang Yan slapped him on the back of the head: "You have to be restrained, understand? You can take risks, but you have to take risks that you can afford, and don't be blind to money. You have to think more about your parents, Think about your wife and children, and consider whether it’s worth it. Besides, there are many opportunities to make money, and the time to really make a lot of money has not yet come, so where is it?”

"Brother, I'm not like you. I'm a shallow person. I still can't figure out how you keep so much money."

"So when you feel like you're going to drift off, just think of me, brother."

Zhou Bingkun laughed: "Hey, by the way, brother, I'll give you the money."

"What do you mean? You don't want to make money with me?"

"No way, brother, do you think I am the ungrateful person? I just want to give you my capital. Next time I will take what I earn."

Wang Yan smiled and shook his head: "We have discussed it before. The five thousand yuan, plus my ideas, are my capital. Otherwise, how can I take 60% of it? Just take it. Besides, you all know that I have money. Do you think I’m missing that five thousand?”

"Okay, that's it. Let me rest for a while and try to go there again before the end of the year. By then, we brothers will all be households worth ten thousand yuan."

"Even a household worth ten thousand yuan needs to eat. Let's go back."

Walking next to his good brother, Zhou Bingkun thought for a while and said: "Hey, brother, what do you think I buy a color TV for our family? Let Jianhua, Jianye, Juan'er, my mother and them all take a look. Save It’s okay to be at home all day long.”

"If you want to buy it, I bought it in 1973. Why don't you think I want to buy a TV for my family?" Wang Yan paused and looked at him sideways: "Now there are only three companies that have black and white TVs, and none. One family has a color TV. And those three families are full of people every day. Bingkun, it’s useless if you don’t have money. And your friends, please pay attention to buying five pounds of ribs tomorrow. , Jianhua and the others wanted to eat it yesterday.”

Zhou Bingkun stayed where he was, looking at his good brother who was leaving with his hands behind his back. After a while, he heard his son's greeting inside. He responded with a sigh and entered the house with a big grin...
