The next morning, before dawn, Qi Yang pushed out a cart from Second Uncle's house and pulled a cart full of charcoal from his house.
When his parents heard the commotion in the courtyard, they knew that Qi Yang was making charcoal.
"His father, Xiao Yang is sending it to an acquaintance. Nothing will happen!”
Wang Hongmei stopped Qi Delu, who wanted to go out and take a look.
After pulling a cart full of charcoal, Qi Yang met up with Fang Yu at the village entrance. Then, the two of them headed straight for the city.
This trip was even smoother than yesterday. Half of the cart of coal was bought by the neighbor of the elder sister, and the rest was bought by the old woman and the neighbors around her house. They didn't sell it at the street corner at all.
Moreover, after Big Sis and the others used the charcoal from the Qi Yang family yesterday, they all said that it was especially good and attracted some neighbors to buy it.
From then on, Qi Yang went to the city almost every day, but most of the time, he delivered the goods directly to his door. This way, he avoided the risk of being caught by the inspectors.
Even if they needed to sell on the streets, they would always move from one place to another. They would never stay in the same place. Therefore, although they sold many times, they were never caught.
Every time he went back, Qi Yang would bring home some meat, vegetables, and steamed buns, making his family eat until their mouths were full.
His father, Qi Delu, and his mother, Wang Hongmei, were a little worried at first, but they were used to it later on. They were only waiting for him to come back at night to bring delicious food.
Qi Yang had even brought Second Master wine a few times.
Second Uncle scratched his ears and cheeks as he praised Qi Yang for his ability.
"Second Uncle, in the future, drink less of those sweet potato and corn wine!”
Qi Yang reminded Second Master,
"In the future, we'll open up business. If you have money, go to the city and buy some good wine to drink!”
The second uncle had no children in his life. It was impossible for him to quit drinking this kind of thing, but drinking some good wine could still avoid the risk of a stroke.
The wine brewed by the local method was mixed and mellow, which could easily cause liver damage and hardening of the blood vessels. It was very likely that it was the culprit of the second uncle's stroke.
At this stage, all Qi Yang could do was let Second Master drink as much alcohol as possible.
In this day and age, the alcohol produced by regular manufacturers was also made from grains, unlike in the later generations, where many were directly blended with alcohol.
Moreover, the wine technology of the legitimate manufacturers was mature. They removed a lot of impurities in the wine and could reduce the damage.
In the blink of an eye, two months had passed. Soon, it was almost the Spring Festival.
Fang Yu was about to go home for the New Year, and it was very likely that she would not come back after the New Year.
The charcoal that the Qi Yang family had accumulated for a long time had almost been sold by him. Other than handing over a portion to his parents, he brought the rest with him. Then, he found Fang Yu and prepared to split the loot with her!
The two of them walked into the abandoned kiln warily, one after the other, as if they were spies.
Fang Yu hesitated for a moment at the entrance of the cave, but she still walked in.
Once inside, Qi Yang took out a cloth bag, opened it, and poured out all the money inside.
There was a huge pile of change, including 50 cents, 10 cents, 20 cents, 50 cents, 20 cents, and 10 cents. There were also all kinds of meat stamps, cloth stamps, food stamps, and food stamps.
Fang Yu's eyes were blurry. She had never seen so much money since she was young.
Her family was an ordinary worker's family in the city. Her parents 'monthly salary was only about 30 yuan. They had to scrimp and save every month. Her mother had never brought more than 50 cents when she went out to buy vegetables!
Qi Yang did a check. After deducting expenses, he had saved up a total of 80 yuan, 55 catties of meat stamps, 210 catties of food stamps, 30 feet of cloth stamps, and a few other miscellaneous stamps.
One had to know that even the high-level technicians who were scarce in the city could not earn so much in two months.
He split the money equally and gave half to Fang Yu. He told Fang Yu to hide it well and to secretly touch the things she bought at the supply and marketing cooperative so that no one would find out.
Fang Yu shook her head and said that she could not ask for so much. Qi Yang was the one who came up with the idea. Usually, Qi Yang would negotiate with the customers, so she did not do much.
After saying that, she gave Qi Yang more than half of the money and tickets, leaving only five yuan for herself.
Qi Yang was stunned for a moment. He was about to persuade her when he saw the girl turn around.
"Stop talking. I won't accept it anyway!”
Fang Yu was embarrassed. After all, the two of them had been doing business together for the past two months, but the cart was borrowed by Qi Yang, and the charcoal belonged to their family. Qi Yang was the one who went to look for customers when they bought things, so she was only helping out.
Moreover, every time they sold charcoal, Qi Yang would bring her to feast.
Stewed beef, pig's head, braised pork, steamed buns, fried dough sticks, soy milk…
She had eaten many things that she had never eaten before and could not bear to eat.
Now, the lady at the grocery store was familiar with them. When she saw them, she would ask Qi Yang with a smile,"Young man, did you buy meat for your little partner again?"
I'll buy meat and eat well. I'll develop faster and marry you sooner!
Every time this happened, Fang Yu's face would turn red with embarrassment, but she could not turn around and leave.
According to Fang Yu's thoughts, the food Qi Yang treated her to every time was enough for her salary. However, Qi Yang still gave her so much money this time. How could she accept it?!
Over the past two months, Fang Yu had been able to eat good food every day, so her nutrition had been replenished.
Her entire body seemed to be gaining weight, and her face was slightly red. She was no longer as skinny as before, and her face was pale and dry. At this moment, she looked a little more charming.
Therefore, Fang Yu only took five yuan and refused to ask for another cent!
Qi Yang smiled. He knew that this girl could be quite stubborn sometimes, so he didn't force it on her.
He was going to leave a portion of the money to his parents for their own use. The rest would be used as his own start-up capital!
More than 80 yuan, and the ransom was a hard currency now. He had already taken an important step towards his dream!
After splitting the money, the two of them did not go back immediately.
Her heart was filled with the joy of success. Who would she tell when she went back?
Only when the two of them were together would they feel pure happiness, and they had many common topics to talk about.
The two of them sat under the chimney of the abandoned kiln, looking at the blue sky above their heads and the white clouds. Their hearts could not help but be filled with joy.
Qi Yang retracted his gaze from the sky and turned to look at Fang Yu.
At this moment, Fang Yu happened to turn her head to look at him.
When their eyes met, Fang Yu's face instantly turned red!
In the past two months, although she had been running around every day, Fang Yu was no longer as malnourished as before because she ate well and had meat every day. Her face, which was flushed red from the cold wind, looked more beautiful, and her eyes were more lively. There were faint ripples in her eyes.
Qi Yang looked at Fang Yu and couldn't help but think of a poem, so he whispered,"
"Last year, on this day, the peach blossoms on the human face reflected each other.
I don't know where my face has gone, but the peach blossoms are still smiling in the spring breeze!”
