Chapter 201: Quick money must be earned, and egg-laying hens must be hatched
The environment on the express train during the day was much better.
It was not dark when they arrived at Pengcheng Railway Station safely.
Even so, Wu Wei did not dare to delay after leaving the station, and rushed to the bus station with Ma Haitao.
In the past, they always took the first bus from the bus station back to the county town.
They did not know when the last bus was.
If they missed the last bus, the money for the express ticket would be wasted.
Fortunately, the two arrived early enough and took the second to last bus back to the county town.
It was already past seven o'clock in the evening when they returned to Beilun Bus Station with a bumpy ride.
Wu Wei looked at the watch. At this time, the news broadcast had finished.
Fortunately, as long as they set foot on the territory of Beilun, the two men had plenty of ways to go back.
Even so, the master and apprentice rode the 28-bar from the courtyard of Bayi Road and returned to Taoyuan Village. It was already close to nine o'clock.
When the master and apprentice arrived at the fenced courtyard, they saw Qiao Yuyan still at home, spending the Lantern Festival with Xichun and Xiuchun and watching TV.
When she saw Wu Wei coming back, Qiao Yuyan was overjoyed.
After all, it was a holiday, and without him, she would always feel empty.
Otherwise, she would not be here to spend the holiday with Xiuchun and Xichun.
Xiuchun said with some distress: "Second brother, you are dealing with treasury bonds and ordering brick machines, rushing and rushing, how hard it must be on the road."
Wu Wei waved his hand and said: "The hardship on the road is a small matter, coming back to celebrate the holiday with you is a big matter."
Then he told Xiuchun: "Hurry up and take out the cash from Haitao's military coat, Xichun, get some food for Haitao to fill his stomach, and then go back."
Xiuchun immediately took out the scissors to remove the stitches.
Qiao Yuyan accompanied Xichun to make dumplings and glutinous rice balls.
After all, if Haitao didn't eat, Wu Wei certainly didn't eat either.
How could she not be attentive to this, since she had to prepare for two people?
Fortunately, it was faster to unpack than to sew.
Xiuchun quickly swung her scissors and took out all the cash from Ma Haitao's military coat before the dumplings and glutinous rice balls came out of the pot.
Then, while the master and apprentice were eating dumplings and glutinous rice balls, she continued to unpack Wu Wei's military coat.
When the two of them had almost finished eating, all the cash was on the table.
Even if she had known that her man's business was big enough and the cash he handled was enough.
Qiao Yuyan was still stunned.
I'm afraid I won't be able to earn so much cash in my life.
Then Wu Wei reported a number.
Qiao Yuyan heard it and confirmed that more than 80,000 was indeed a huge number that she would never earn in her life.
While Xiuchun and Xichun were counting the money, Wu Wei took out 10 big unity notes and stuffed them into the hands of his eldest apprentice Ma Haitao.
Ma Haitao, who was wearing a military coat, was still polite and refused.
But he couldn't resist his master, so he accepted it after struggling for a while.
Not only that, he also remembered to ask: "Master's wife, are you going? If you go, I will keep you company."
He wanted to save his master the trouble of running a trip.
Qiao Yuyan was stunned and didn't hear it at all.
Wu Wei saw this and sent her away: "You go back first, I will send her off later."
As soon as Ma Haitao left, Xiuchun and Xichun counted all the cash.
Adding the 100 yuan just given to Ma Haitao, the total amount was exactly the same as Wu Wei's previous statement.
Wu Wei nodded and said, "Put it away. I'll save it tomorrow."
Qiao Yuyan came back to her senses and said, "You make so much money from trading treasury bonds, why do you want to open a brick kiln factory and a furniture factory? I heard from my father that these two factories will require a lot of subsequent investment."
Wu Wei smiled and found that Xiuchun and Xichun were also puzzled by this.
"Trading treasury bonds, although it makes money, it is not long-term. It can only last for a year or two at most."
"What should we do then? We can't just stay at home and eat our savings without working hard?"
"Although the brick kiln factory and the furniture factory have a lot of investment now, they will soon be egg-laying chickens and can continuously make money for us. This is the long-term solution."
"And by the way, it will give Xiuchun, Master, Fourth Uncle and everyone else work to do and make money. Why not do it!"
Hearing this, Qiao Yuyan suddenly felt that her man's image became taller.
So that when the Lantern Festival Gala was over.
Wu Wei stood up and wanted to send Qiao Yuyan back. She was not happy to leave.
But he had to leave.
There were many people in the village, and they were talking all the time.
Qiao Yuyan stayed at home tonight, and the news would spread all over the place tomorrow.
Of course, if Wu Wei didn't come back tonight, nothing would happen.
But the problem was that he came back, and this matter couldn't be concealed at all.
When he returned to the Qiao family compound.
Master Qiao Wuye and his mistress Cheng Yuejuan had indeed gone to bed.
It seemed that they didn't expect him to come back tonight, and they were mentally prepared for their daughter to live in the fenced yard.
Cheng Yuejuan came out with her coat on and opened the door, muttering, "Come back earlier if you want to come back. Do you have to come back so late? It's so dangerous in the middle of the night..."
Before she finished speaking, the door opened.
Wu Wei interrupted her and said, "Master's wife, I'm sorry to bother you and Master."
Cheng Yuejuan was delighted: "Oh, you're back! You've been busy all the time, but you still remember to send Yuyan back. You've worked so hard."
Master Qiao Wu in the main room heard Wu Wei's voice.
He immediately got dressed and got out of bed, and came out wearing a cotton jacket and said, "Come in and sit down, what are you doing standing at the door?"
Wu Wei had no choice but to follow Qiao Yuyan into the yard, walked to the main hall, and handed a cigarette to his master.
However, neither the master nor the apprentice smoked, but just talked behind his ear.
"You came back so soon, and the brick-making machine was settled?"
Wu Wei nodded: "It's settled. When he heard that I wanted to order a large brick-making machine, he was very polite and even invited us to dinner."
While the master and the apprentice were talking, Cheng Yuejuan served tea and poured water.
After finishing the work, he had to go to Qiao Guoliang's room and get him up to say hello.
Fortunately, Wu Wei had been watching and quickly stopped him: "Master's wife, I will say a few words to the master and leave. Don't call me Third Brother. It's not easy for him to run orders during the day."
Turning around, he heard Qiao Wuye say: "It's good to be settled. I see that the weather is getting warmer. Maybe before March, the brick kiln factory will be able to start work."
The master and the apprentice chatted briefly for a few words, and Wu Wei decisively said goodbye.
After all, there is no stove here, unlike at home, so it is not cold even with a sweater on.
After riding the 28-inch bicycle back to the fenced yard, Wu Wei soaked his feet happily and wiped his whole body by the way, and then went to sleep comfortably.
When he woke up, he felt refreshed.
He turned his head and looked out the window. The sun was already high, and it must be at least nine o'clock.
In fact, he slept so soundly that he didn't even have a dream.
The voices of Qiao Yuyan and Xichun came from outside. Although they were deliberately suppressed, Wu Wei could still hear them.
