Reborn in the 70s, doing whatever it takes to make money

"Teacher Xu Qing, can you sell me a wall clock?"

The captain asked expectantly.

He had wanted to buy a wall clock a long time ago. He had already prepared the money, but he had not yet collected the tickets to buy the wall clock. At this moment, when he saw Xu Qing, he took out two wall clocks at once. Although they were both second-hand, they were still I couldn't help but ask, wanting to buy one back.

Xu Qing was slightly startled.

Xu's father, Xu's mother, and the rest of the Xu family were also stunned, and then they all looked at Xu Qing, waiting for Xu Qing's reaction.

Xu Qing originally planned to find an opportunity to go to the town or county to sell the wall clock, but she did not expect that the captain actually offered to buy it.

Now that the captain has spoken, she definitely can't refuse. Moreover, a second-hand wall clock is not worth much. She is not going to sell it, but will give it to the captain directly. It can also be regarded as a favor to the captain. If she If something goes wrong, the captain can't just sit back and watch.

Think about this.

Xu Qing handed a wall clock forward and said generously: "This wall clock was originally broken. I was lucky enough to fix it. It's not worth a lot of money. If you like it, captain, just take it and there's no need to pay." .”

After listening to Xu Qing's words, the captain's heart warmed up. In this era, a wall clock was worth a lot of money. A city worker could barely buy a wall clock with a month's salary. Unexpectedly, Xu Qing would give it away as soon as he said so.

He was very satisfied with Xu Qing's attitude, but he couldn't accept it.

The captain waved his hands repeatedly and said: "No, no, no, Teacher Xu Qing, this clock is too valuable and I can't accept it. Let's do this. You decide the price and I will spend the money to buy it."

Xu Qing insisted not to accept money, "Captain, you're welcome, isn't it just a clock? And you also know that I bought this clock from the county scrapyard. It didn't cost a lot of money. If you give me money, then It’s too outsider.”

The captain also has his own persistence.

As a veteran, his consistent style is not to take advantage of the masses.

"No, you have to collect this money today. The lowest price of a clock in a department store is 32 yuan. Although yours is an old one, it is still worth 15 yuan. So, I will give you 15 yuan."

After the captain finished speaking, everyone in the old Xu family, except Xu Qing, all opened their eyes with surprise.

God, God!

After a broken clock is repaired, it can be resold for 15 yuan. This, this money comes too quickly and easily.

You must know that workers in the city only earn more than [-] yuan a month. Xu Qing repaired four flashlights and two wall clocks in one day. Not to mention the flashlights, the two wall clocks alone were worth the price of one worker after they were sold. One month’s salary is not a small amount for anyone.

Xu's mother grabbed Xu Qing's arm excitedly, her inner joy almost uncontrollable.

Xu's father, who was smoking a dry cigarette, had a look of surprise and joy on his face. Because he was so excited, he swallowed a puff of cigarette into his lungs, and then breathed out, choking him and coughing continuously.

Xu Qing said: "Captain, aren't you an outsider? I sold you a broken clock for 15 yuan. When others found out, they still didn't point their fingers at me and scold me. So, just give me 5 yuan." Bar."

If it had been someone else, she would have agreed without hesitation. Who would have thought that the opposite party was the captain, one of the most powerful figures in Hongqi Village. Before the reform and opening up, she could not leave the village, and she had to look at the captain's face.

and.

Her future plans will still require the support and cooperation of the captain.

It would be of no harm to her to get closer to the captain, even if it cost her some money.

The captain who was taking out the money paused slightly.

Sellers always think the price is too low, but I didn’t expect that some people would think the price is too high.

The captain looked into Xu Qing's eyes and found that the latter was not joking with him. He took out 10 yuan and put it in Xu Qing's hand and said, "I, an old man, can't take advantage of you. You and I each take a step back, 10 yuan." make a deal."

Xu Qing didn't insist, so she accepted the 10 yuan and handed one of the good-looking wall clocks to the captain.

The deal is done.

Both parties are satisfied.

Xu's mother's eyes gleamed.

10 dollars!

For the first time, she discovered that making money was so easy.

Although she didn't earn the money.

But Xu Qing is her daughter, is there any difference between what she earns?

"Captain, look at the flashlight. Do you want to buy one too?" Xu's mother was so excited about the money that she actually sold the flashlight to the captain.

The captain waved his hands repeatedly and said: "I also have a flashlight at home, so I won't buy it."

"Qing'er, hurry up, put these treasures away quickly."

The more Xu's mother looked at Xu Qing, the more she liked her.

My daughter is capable.

You can make money.

haha~

Xu's mother couldn't help but grin.

Seeing other people watching, she quickly covered her mouth.

"Captain, what brings you here?"

Father Xu changed the topic and said.

The captain also thought about it.

This time he came for business.

What the captain was talking about had nothing to do with Xu Qing.

Xu Qing listened to a word or two and was pulled aside by Xu's mother.

Looking at Xu's mother's eager expression, Xu Qing knew what Xu's mother had planned. She quickly took out a few bills, a total of 3000 yuan, and handed it to Xu's mother, saying: "Mom, you can take these seven yuan, and the rest I’ll keep the three dollars I spent for myself.”

Xu's mother took the money and said with a smile: "That's enough, Qing'er. I've also saved some cloth tickets. Tomorrow I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative to pull a piece of cloth for you, and then make you some clothes."

Xu Qing felt warm in her heart.

Xu's mother still loves her the most.

The first thing I thought about after getting the money was to make clothes for her.

Xu Qing and Xu's mother were chatting here, and the captain over there also finished talking, said hello to everyone, and turned to leave.

"Captain, wait a minute, I'll see you off!"

Xu's father followed behind and said.

Seeing this, Xu Qing immediately chased after him with a flashlight: "Dad, it's already dark now. You should hold the flashlight."

Xu's father took the flashlight from Xu Qing's hand, pressed the button, and a bright beam of light immediately shot out.

Father Xu, who was holding a flashlight, had a flash of show off on his face.

"Captain, it's dark and the road is difficult to walk, so I'll take you back."

The two walked out of Lao Xu's house side by side and walked all the way to the captain's house.

Along the way, I met many villagers, and I couldn't help but exchange a few words. Then the news that Old Xu's family had a flashlight spread like wildfire, arousing the envy of many people.

……

Silent all night.

The next day, early in the morning.

Xu Qing was woken up by the sound outside the house.

She felt that there were people outside the house.

Open your eyes, get dressed, open the door and look outside.

It feels right.

The yard was full of people.

Seeing the people in the yard, Xu Qing couldn't help but have a look of doubt on her face.

what happened?

Why are there so many people here?

Doubts flashed through her mind.

soon.

She understood.
