Shi Wei didn't plan to make big moves, his idea was very simple, that is, to make arrangements for the family together before leaving, earn some money to pay off the debt, and earn some money to take Shi Fang to Yanjing to see a doctor.

His goal is not only to make money, but also to make long-term money, money that allows Shi Changcai and his wife to continue to make money.

Early the next morning, Shi Wei left the hospital, and then took a bus that could knock his ass off and went to the county town.

There is a large waste recycling station on the edge of the county seat, and Shi Wei came here to try his luck.I stuffed a pack of cigarettes, gave me two gas tickets, and took down a tricycle for a dozen yuan.

Tricycles and bicycles are made of iron and require industrial tickets to buy, but Shi Wei does not have industrial tickets, nor does he have that much money.

Tricycles are much heavier and bulkier than bicycles, but because of prestige and other reasons, the price of a tricycle is actually only a little higher than that of a bicycle of the same brand. You can buy a brand new tricycle for 200 yuan , but every penny of Shiwei's money must be used wisely, and it is impossible to spend one-third of it on a tricycle.

Although the tricycle was a bit worn out and dirty, it didn't affect its use. Shi Wei's more than ten yuan wasn't just for this dilapidated tricycle, he also asked for three extra tricycle wheels and several days of chains.They are all passable things that have been removed from other bicycles or tricycles. They are a bit dirty, but they do not affect their use at all.

"Master, can you help paint the car and change the tires?" Shi Wei asked He to clean the tricycle, and then pushed the tricycle with missing tires all the way to the town.

There were only two people in the store, a younger one was sleeping on his stomach, and a man in his 50s was repairing his watch.

The 50-year-old master worker took down his eyes and came out and said to Shi Wei: "I've been working too much recently, you may have to wait for a while."

The policy is different. Many people earn a lot of money by relying on their courage, and they buy more things at home. The repair shop is one of the few state-owned shops that are getting better and better.

Because not everyone can make this thing, especially those radio watches, without learning from the master or going to school, it is difficult to figure it out by yourself.

Shi Wei skillfully took out a pack of cigarettes, and stuffed a stack of money into the master's hand while passing the cigarettes to the master.

The old master kept saying he was busy, but the store didn't look busy. Although there were piles of things, the young man lay there to catch up on sleep. The old master was also walking slowly, showing no signs of being busy at all.

This is also normal, their wages are dead wages, no matter how many things are repaired in a day, there is only so much money, it is easy to let them care, but it is difficult to keep them caring.

The money Shi Wei gave was one yuan, and after folding it twice, he looked at it as a bluff, but it was actually only a few yuan.

But these few dollars are enough. The master's monthly salary is only more than 40 yuan, which is more than his daily wages.

It is obviously not the first time for the master master, but because it is only the first few years, his expression is still not calm. After looking around, he assured Shi Wei: "You will come back in three hours. Take it, I promise to make it good for you!"

Shi Wei nodded, and went to buy other things.

The county seat is larger and more developed than their town, and you might be able to find many things that you can't buy in the town here.

Shi Wei searched street by street, asking one by one, and finally got all the seasonings he wanted.Because a lot of things are difficult to buy, Shi Wei bought a lot at once. When he returned to the repair shop, with big bags in his hand, he filled most of the tricycle's bucket in one go.

Shi Wei's principle of choosing a tricycle is very simple, that is, which one is the best.He bought the tricycle for the convenience of doing business, so the space behind it was surprisingly large.

After the tricycle was painted, it looked much more pleasing to the eye, because Shi Wei asked for it to be fast, so the master only painted a layer of paint, but it was enough to look like this.Black paint looks unremarkable, but it is the most stain-resistant.

All six wheels have been added rubber, the chain has been oiled and readjusted, the holes on the body of the car have been carefully filled by the master craftsman, and even the pedals have been replaced with the old broken wood , replaced by two new planks.

"Thank you, Master." Although Shi Wei didn't have much expectations for the tricycle, he was still very surprised to see such a neat and tidy tricycle. ride away.

Shi Wei doesn't know how to ride a bicycle, but he doesn't need to learn to ride a tricycle, he just needs to step on the pedals and grasp the direction.He got used to it first, and within a few minutes, he was able to step on the pedals and move forward very fast.

Buying cigarettes, tricycles, seasonings, gas tanks, honeycomb briquettes, pots and big iron pans, Shi Wei had a busy day before he went home with a cart full of things.

Shi Wei's body is very good. Although he spent a little more time studying, he still chops firewood and carries water every day. Even if he was injured, he did not slack off his exercise, so the speed of riding a tricycle will not be too slow. .

"Huh—huh—huh—" Although the body is moving, the road is too bumpy and the distance is a bit too long. Although Shi Wei has counted the time, it is obvious that he can't keep going forward in peak condition. Take a rest and ride After a while, when I returned to the town from the county seat, it was almost evening.

"Weiwei, is that Weiwei?"

From a long distance, Shi Wei heard Dong Xu's voice.

"It's me!" Shi Wei responded loudly.

Before going out, Shi Wei told Shi Changcai and his wife that he would go to the county to do some business and would come back later, but there was a time when Shi Wei was injured last time, Shi Changcai and Dong Xuyuan couldn't let go of their hearts, they were outside for a long time He waited until he saw a vague shadow appearing in the distance and heard Shi Wei's voice before he felt relieved.

"Weiwei, you bought all these things, and these three wheels, where did you get them?"

Shi Wei knew that his parents would have a lot of questions, but he was too tired to answer everything. He just said, "I bought these. Mom, I'm going to starve to death. I rode all the way back from the county seat. My feet are almost not my own."

Dong Xuyuan became anxious when he heard this, and felt that Shi Changcai was being pushed to let him finish his son's work, and he dragged Shiwei home with distress: "Hurry up, mom made meat today, you should eat more!" She also said I don't have the time to ask how much Shi Wei spent. If you don't look at those things, just saying that a tricycle costs a lot of money, if you ask, it will only make her feel bad. It's better to solve Shi Wei's stomach problem first.

Both Dong Xuyuan and Shi Changcai are hardworking people, they tidied up the rented house like hardworking little ants in just one day, and moved all the things used by the family here.

The house they rented was not big, with a total area of ​​[-] square meters, but it cost [-] yuan a month. Because there was no electricity, they didn't need to pay the electricity bill, but they had to pay the water bill themselves.

There are no partitions in a thirty-square-meter house, and there are only curtains in the whole house. One is the curtain between the room and the living room, and the other curtain divides the space inside into two sides. Shi Fang continues to live with Shi Changcai and his wife, and Shi Wei It is still a separate space for one person.

Although Dong Xuyuan tried his best to tidy up, there were too many things in the house, and it was still a mess.

Things like vegetables have already been sold by Shi Changcai. The typhoon has just passed, and the people in the town are short of everything, and things like vegetables and food have also increased by a few cents because of this.The Shi family's crops were all harvested before the typhoon, so it can be said that the loss was very small.

In particular, the water in the field hadn't drained for several days, which made Dong Xuyuan very grateful, thankful that their family had collected all the things.

Dong Xuyuan's cooking skills are actually not good. The only dishes she cooks all year round are all kinds of wild vegetables, and there is almost no oil.There are very few opportunities to eat meat throughout the year. Dong Xuyuan does not have so much insight and imagination, let alone experience in handling meat, so the only thing Dong Xuyuan does when he buys meat is to cut a few slices of home-grown ginger and share them with him. Throw the meat into the water, add a little salt, and it's done.Take the meat out and eat it, but the soup can't be poured out, and it tastes delicious with rice.

Dong Xuyuan usually buys meat to eat, but because of Shi Wei's high score in the exam, Shi Fang was discharged from the hospital smoothly, and his eyes are rare today to cut two taels of meat and come back.

"Brother, the meat is delicious, eat it quickly!" As soon as Shi Fang saw Shi Wei, she began to tell him how delicious and delicious the meat she ate just now was.

"Then you can eat some more, I want to save some for my experiment later!" Shi Wei patted Shi Fang's head and said with a smile.

"You can just eat by yourself." Only Shi Fang in Shi's family had already eaten, and Shi Changcai and Dong Xuyuan were waiting for Shi Wei to come back to eat together. At this moment, Dong Xuyuan brought the warm food up. He put the bowl containing the meat in front of Shi Wei, and they only drank the boiled meat broth with splashes.

Shi Wei didn't argue with them, he just held out two slices of meat for each of them with his chopsticks.

Neither Shi Changcai nor his wife refused, but neither did they stretch their chopsticks over the meat.

"That's right." Shi Changcai buried his head in his meal, and halfway through his meal, he suddenly remembered what happened during the day, so he quickly got up and handed over a dozen letters to Shi Wei, "Your seventh uncle gave it to me when I went back to the village today, saying It was delivered the day before yesterday, which means we didn’t go back these two days, otherwise I would have given it to you long ago.”

Dong Xuyuan couldn't read, so he asked cautiously, "Is this the admission letter?"

When Shi Wei got the envelope, he was stunned for a moment. To be honest, because too much time had passed, he would not have hoped for the success of the submission.

But looking at the time on the envelope now, he suddenly remembered that the traffic at this time was not as developed as in later generations, and there was no such thing as "today makes the day". It would be normal for a letter to arrive after more than ten days. But that's all.Especially when their town was hit by a typhoon.

"No." Shi Wei said, "It will take some time for the acceptance letter to come. It should be all manuscript fees and sample books."

Dong Xuyuan and Shi Changcai showed disappointment on their faces. They didn't understand what is a manuscript fee and what is a sample book, but they also asked curiously: "What are these?"

Shi Wei directly opened an envelope. The envelope was very large. After opening, a magazine with the words "Loving Science" was revealed. Along with it, there was also a money order, which read: Wu Yuan.

"Remember the letter I asked you to send out? They accepted my manuscript, and this is the money for me."

Dong Xuyuan and Shi Changcai still had blank expressions: "What is that? Is this money?"

"En." Shi Wei nodded affirmatively.

"This, how much is this?" Shi Changcai asked dreamily.

"I don't know, but the one in my hand has 15 yuan."

Dong Xuyuan and Shi Changcai Qiqi's eyes widened.
