Back to 1993

When Gu Zhengdong walked back to his residence, Xiao Xiao was standing at the entrance of the alley and looking around, and when he saw him, he rushed towards him.

"father!"

Picking up his daughter, Gu Zhengdong felt that all the pain and tiredness on his body disappeared.

Longlong's little head flashed at the door, he was also worried, but he didn't say anything.

In the evening, the noodles were still cooked. Xiaoqiang got some rotten tomatoes from somewhere, and the children ate them as if they were treasures.

Longlong gained a lot today, the things he picked up were sold for [-] cents, and his tone of voice was a little drifting.

"School starts tomorrow." Xiaoqiang is the oldest of these children, and he is a little depressed when he thinks that all the children of the same age have gone to school.

A burst of pity rose in Gu Zhengdong's heart, and his desire to make money became stronger. It turns out that there are so many people in the world who need help.

Longlong never asked him about finding a job during the day, but Gu Zhengdong still handed over the [-] cents.

"You keep the flowers." Longlong said lightly, but his eyes couldn't hide his joy, his expression was like that of an old mother who saw her son's first month's salary.

Gu Zhengdong's heart was stabbed again.

At this moment, he suddenly had a new idea.

He can't find a job. Many poor people are stuck in their lives and exhausted all their strength just to survive.

In his last life, he was able to escape from the circle of poverty by breaking all the boats.If he continues to live step by step in this life, then he will never make a lot of money.

Now is not the time to rush to find a job, but to find a project.

He looked at Longlong's woven bag, lost in thought.

Early the next morning, Longlong was about to go out again, and Gu Zhengdong immediately followed.

"Let's go to the school gate to have a look."

"Why?" Longlong was taken aback.

"There's big business going on there today." Gu Zhengdong said confidently.

Although Longlong was skeptical, he followed Gu Zhengdong to the nearby No. [-] Primary School.

They waited at the gate for about two hours, the school gate was closed tightly, and the sound of reading could be heard from time to time, Longlong couldn't hold his breath anymore.

"Dad, you take your sister here, I'll go..."

"Don't move! Business is coming!" Gu Zhengdong shouted loudly, scaring Longlong back to his original position.

I saw a small truck approaching, and the janitor ran over to open the door.

"You look at my sister and don't move, I'll go."

Gu Zhengdong followed the pickup truck into the campus.

Today he got up early to tidy up, his hair can't be cut, he can always wash it, and he has improved his personal hygiene. It seems that this fancy dress is not so obtrusive.

The janitor just opened and closed the door and paid no attention to him.

He trotted and followed the truck to the gate of the teaching school.

Several female teachers ran out chattering.

The truck driver got out of the car and smoked. The female teacher struggled for a long time before calling out a male teacher and pushing him into the truck to help.

It turns out that the new textbooks have arrived, and they are all packaged. This package is not light.

There are few male teachers in primary schools, and there are some older ones who can't point them out. The female teachers are weak, and they can't move the whole package of textbooks at all.

Seeing that the time had come, Gu Zhengdong trotted over.

"Teacher, I'm the parent of a student, and I'm here to handle business. Are you going to move the books? Let me do it!"

The teachers were overjoyed to hear that some parents offered to help.

Carrying cement is not enough, but moving books can still be done.

Gu Zhengdong helped them deliver the textbooks to the classroom. At this time, several tall male students came out to help, and he was not too tired.

The teacher in the classroom has already called the class leader to help distribute the books and unpack them.

Gu Zhengdong wasn't idle either, he took out the removed wrapping paper and straps, and quickly deposited a pile at the door.

At that time, the wrapping paper was all high-quality kraft paper, which could fetch a good price just by looking at it.Gu Zhengdong was also sweating from exhaustion, but seeing this pile of things made him feel at ease.

When he saw that it was almost done, he walked over to the truck driver.

"Master, can you do me a favor?"

"What are you doing?" The truck driver looked at him warily.

"These things are useful at my house. You can pull them for me. I'll give you two dollars for gas. How about it?"

"Okay, let me do you a favor." The driver gave two yuan and agreed to come down.

This is a public job, and it is the same for him to run empty cars. Anyway, he does not need to load the car, and doing a favor is equivalent to picking up a pack of cigarettes for nothing.

Gu Zhengdong was busy loading the wrapping paper and bags into the car, when a female teacher from just now ran out.

"Parents, thank you so much! Which class is your child in?"

This teacher is really grateful and wants to ask for his name and take care of him.

When Gu Zhengdong heard it, I don't know which class it is, but it's not good not to answer, so he rolled over on the carriage, turned around and waved, "You're welcome, class three, class three!"

The car had already started, and the female teacher looked at it and asked in vain. There are three classes in five grades, which one is it?

When Gu Zhengdong saw the car approaching the door, he called the driver to stop and carried the two children into the car.

"Father! This is..." Longlong's jaw dropped when he saw the things on the car.

"It's all ours, let's sell it." Gu Zhengdong said with a smile, he just likes to see Longlong's face that has never seen the world.

"Get rich!" Longlong is really a little money fan, jumping straight in the carriage.

"But you need to invest first. Do you have two yuan?" At this point, Gu Zhengdong was taking a gamble.He guessed that Longlong must have two yuan.

The city of this child is very deep.

Sure enough, when Longlong heard that he was asked to pay two yuan, his expression became stiff.

This clearly wants to lie, but he is not good at lying, and he looks like he can't manage his expressions well.

"No." His voice was a little low.

"Longlong, listen to me, things can't be unloaded directly to the scrap yard for a while, think about it, we sold the money, and divided him into two dollars, will it be a good thing next time? Won't he sell it himself? ?”

Gu Zhengdong saw that he would reach the intersection of the scrap yard after turning a corner, so he could only hurry up and do his work.

After all, Longlong was a child, so he didn't hold on, sighed, took out some dimes from three pockets, and gave Gu Zhengdong two yuan.

Gu Zhengdong knocked on the roof of the front compartment of the car, the driver understood and pulled the car to the side of the road.

Gu Zhengdong took the children to unload the car and paid another two yuan.After the driver drove the car away, he asked Longlong to go to the waste station to borrow a tricycle.

The black man's eyes widened when he saw the two of them pushing a cart full of kraft paper and packaging.

"Longlong, you are promising!"

"My father got it!" Longlong said proudly.

"Hehe, the father inherited the son's career." Gu Zhengdong laughed at himself, and the black man looked at him with a little more respect.

On this day, the three of them squatted at five schools, missed two, and received more or less things for three of them.I bought some goods at the gates of other schools here and there, and sold them for 71 yuan in one day.

This is a huge sum of money!

At that time, many people’s monthly salary was only 100 yuan.Although such good things cannot happen every day, Gu Zhengdong still sees hope, so part-time work is impossible, and doing it by himself will always make more money.

"Go, Dad will take you to buy buns!"

Gu Zhengdong proudly said that the way Longlong looked at him was different, his eyes were filled with admiration, and that little expression just wanted to tell the world that this is my father!

The owner of the bun shop still remembered them and was so impressed that he didn't even lift his eyes when he saw them standing in front of the stall again.
