Chapter 21 Heaven will give great responsibility to the people

If you have something to say, you will be long, and if you have nothing to say, you will be short. More than a month passed by after the Wang family was wiped out.

Gu Ao successfully obtained his graduation certificate, and he also avoided being reported to his class teacher Mr. Yang as a candidate for admission to high school.

After graduation, he should have been caught and thrown into the countryside to join the countryside. After all, he was the place to return to the city by his sister, and his sister returned to the city for some reason as early as May.

However, my father used the factory's adjustment resources and could delay it if possible, and helped Gu Ao not set off until mid-July.

Gu Ao originally didn't care about this, but his father, who knew the sufferings of the people, taught him a lesson:

"Do you think the countryside is so easy to get along? Going to the first day of July is just a double scramble. That is the hardest day for farmers in the year. It is good to sleep for five or six hours a day. It is not enough to stop until sunrise until dark, and you have to eat under the sun on the ground.

If I hadn't sold my old face, I would have dragged you until mid-July. I would wait until the early rice in the production team had almost the same harvest and the late rice was about to be planted. Just rely on your body that had never suffered, you would have fallen down in a week!"

My father originally wanted to delay until the end of July, but that was impossible. After all, if an educated youth who went to the line completely avoided the busy farming season and then went there, it would only make him excluded by other farmers in the team for the next year. It would be better to endure a little hardship. At the time when the farmers were just halfway through the double-handed and were most exhausted, they would appear as a "fire-fighting team member" and maybe they could still make a good fortune.

This is how people's hearts are, and the older generation who are used to being in society do not lack this simplicity and wisdom.

My sister Gu Min also knew the pain of double-grabbing. Before leaving, she prepared a large bunch of dried plum vegetables for Gu Ao, and prepared two large pieces of bacon, asking Gu Ao to pay attention to replenishing salt and water:

"You're just starting to dry heavy goods, and the weather is hot. Remember to cook porridge with dried mold and dried vegetables, and make some winter melon for bacon, and boil more soup, and replenish salt and hydration, otherwise the heatstroke will be over."

The Gu family has no meat tickets, so these two pieces of bacon were brought from the black market by Ma Feng.

Since going out with Gu Ao to meet the world, Ma Feng has been traveling to other places for more than two months on weekends to buy black market meat that does not require tickets, and each trip has a few dozen yuan in income.

Now, not only has he paid off the capital he owed Gu Ao, but he has also saved three or four hundred yuan in private money. As for meat, Ma Feng is not short of it.

When he heard that Gu Ao was going to go to the neighboring province to go to the countryside, Ma Feng was also shocked and came to Gu's family to visit.

My father Gu Yong originally didn't like Gu Ao to make friends with these friends who fought in groups at school and had five bad things at home (Ma Feng's family is about to be rehabilitated, and it will be fine next year).

However, seeing that Ma Feng came to the door with two pieces of bacon, he seemed to be quite grateful, so his father tacitly agreed to Gu Ao's "mistakes making bad friends".

"Brother Gu, why did you go to Huizhou to go to the ranks? Really, fake? Why aren't you a little closer? I'm going to go to the ranks at the end of the month, but it's very close, right in Kuaiji." As soon as parting, Ma Feng asked about his well-being.

Gu Ao patted Ma Feng's shoulder and said earnestly: "Far or near is not important. I will get back from the exam within half a year. You should also study hard and don't focus on making small money - national policies will soon turn around."

In addition to making money recently, Ma Feng also has a lot of knowledge about Gu Ao's deeds in Kuaiji, so he admires Gu Ao even more and more devotedly.

After all, Ma Feng, who is in the second year of middle school, has a temper that is willing to avenge his enemies, but it’s a pity that he has made so many small enemies, and none of them can handle it.

But Gu Ao just said that his sister was bullied and killed the whole family, and killed the Wang family and killed the sons and grandchildren, and also eliminated the traitors for the country. This kind of revenge made Ma Feng worship him so much that he looked like a star.

Therefore, he believed Gu Ao's words unconditionally.

Ma Feng patted his chest and agreed: "Brother, don't worry, since I graduated, I will make good plans. To be honest, I will buy Hujiang meat that doesn't require tickets. I'm about to stop this business - the policy has fluctuated so much recently that I can't continue.

I heard from those people in Hujiang that the policies have fluctuated so much recently. The privileges and preferential offers such as "buying meat without tickets" in Hujiang are also related to the instigation of some people who came to Beijing from Shanghai in the past few years. Now, with the central government's crushing of the ***, all liquidations have been completely completed. Any privileges proposed by bad people will be counterattacked. Let's live a serious life in the future."

Gu Ao didn't expect that Ma Feng was so well-informed, which saved him from temptation.

Many of Hujiang's privileges were gradually liquidated and abolished after the central government smashed a certain evil organization. Gu Ao knew this historical trend, but he just didn't know the details.

So he completely believed Ma Feng's statement.

Gu Ao calmly advised: "You are willing to give up when you see the difficulties. The old saying goes, you should suffer as soon as possible. You will be too smooth to make money and think you can do everything. Instead, you will suffer as much as you lose."

This business came to an abrupt end due to external setbacks, which may not be a bad thing.

Maybe it can prevent the horse wind from expanding prematurely and there is no need to count.

...

Ma Feng sat in the Gu family for a while, and the Gu family also kept him for dinner.

Finally, Ma Feng took out a sum of money and handed it to Gu Ao in private while his father and Gu Min were not paying attention.

This is his recent experience in the antique trading black market in Qiantang. When the Wang family fell from the Red Star Tea Farm that day, Gu Ao only spent 500 yuan at the beginning and asked the educated youth that he collected seven or eight high-quality products.

Of course, Gu Ao would not use these fine products to the black market.

However, later, he also figured out the potential of this business and spent dozens of dollars to get a small amount of broken cups and discs that the educated youth did not take action - this matter was completed by the end of May.

The hundreds of educated youth in the teahouse were sold to Wang Pingshan, and there were always fish that missed the net. After Wang Pingshan was shot, a few people temporarily felt that the antiques were dangerous and it was better to discount them, so they gave Gu Ao a chance to pick up the bargain.

After Gu Ao received the goods, he had no channel to take action. However, he later thought that Ma Feng was smart and had been in the black market for two months and knew a little bit of the trick. So he arranged for him to give him two broken cups and asked him to help find the next one to ship the goods.

When shipping, Gu Ao also has a limit - he told Ma Feng that he should never sell it to foreigners, nor to second-door dealers, and it is best to choose those who are willing to collect it quietly.

For this reason, Ma Feng went to Qiantang's antique trading black market.

Although Qiantang is no longer as good as Panjiayuan in Sijiucheng, it is also a coastal provincial capital, and there are still antique black markets.

Ma Feng spent a month and found it difficult to deal with it - if it could not be sold to foreigners, almost no one would buy it. Nowadays, this thing is generally worthless, and collectors only pay a few hundred yuan to receive the goods. Even Wanwan is poor, and Wanwan people cannot come to the mainland in 1977.

Gu Ao also realized that he had thought the problem simple, and finally figured out a way: "Then go and go around every day to see if there are any Hong Kong merchants who come to travel locally. If you meet Hong Kong merchants, go up and sell them."

Ma Feng didn't understand at first: "Hong Kong businessmen? Isn't that equivalent to selling them to British people? And does Hong Kong businessmen have the money and interest?"

Of course, it is not surprising that Ma Feng asked this question. In 1977, who dared to say that Xiangjiang would be taken back by the court. People think that it was the British colony.

But Gu Ao knew that it was different. After all, Xiangjiang was going to return. When he had to accumulate original funds, he sold it to Hong Kong merchants who used their own collections. This also took into account the protection of antiques and did not sell them to the country.

Of course, the benefits will definitely be lost. If the same goods are not considered for stolen from the country and are directly given to Japanese people, it will at least make three or five times more profit than selling them to Hong Kong merchants.

Ma Feng took over the black market for more than a month, and finally caught an opportunity. He actually joined a Hong Kong businessman and handed over the money and delivered the goods with one hand.

The two Song porcelain cups that were already a little broken and needed repair were sold by Ma Feng at a price of 3,000 yuan per. (If you are willing to sell them to Japan and stock up on stock, you can sell them for tens of thousands)

At this time, he handed over the 6,000 yuan repayment to Gu Ao, who also took out 1,500 yuan in business as a commission promoted by Ma Feng to help find business opportunities and intermediaries.

For several months, Gu Ao has become accustomed to this ratio: all the businesses Ma Feng has created for him will be one-quarter of the performance.

Ma Feng was extremely excited with 1,500 yuan. Gu Ao asked him to help sell two porcelain cups, and the income was already much more than his black market meat business that he had been struggling for several months. It also made his private money soar from 500 yuan to 2,000 yuan.

"Brother Gu, do you have any broken porcelain from the Song Dynasty? If I have, I will ask you for a Hong Kong merchant to ship it!" Ma Feng was a little eccentric and could not let it go.

Gu Ao advised him: "There is no goods. And don't think that selling 3,000 yuan per piece is profitable. This is something you have to sell. With some capital, you should be a steadfast person."

Ma Feng was still a little unwilling to accept it, but his eyes turned and seemed to think of another way out, so he didn't bother with Gu Ao anymore.

...

The next morning, Gu Ao brought his bags of luggage, rode his bicycle, and embarked on his way to the GD County of Xuanzhou - the county closest to Wuyue Province in Xuanzhou, Huizhou, and was posted on the edge of Huzhou. It is a small mountain county in Tianmu Mountain, and can be reached within 150 kilometers.

The reason why my father arranged for him to go there was because Tianmu Mountain is a summer resort and it was relatively cool in summer, which obviously took great painstaking efforts.

There is no railway between the two places, so it is troublesome to take a long-distance bus, because you can only go to Huzhou. So Gu Ao simply regarded it as a fitness exercise.

After riding for a whole day, I only had the hottest time at noon, I rested in the bamboo forest in the mountains and ate dry food. In the evening, I asked for directions all the way and finally arrived at the destination farm.

Under the guidance of the old farmer, he walked into several bungalows surrounded by large hillside terraces on the edge of the town, and saw white painted wooden signs hanging at the door of the bungalow.

Gu Ao walked into the gate, but there was no one inside. He waited for 15 minutes before a female staff member hurried in.

He stopped him politely and asked, "Is this the educated youth in Dushan Farm done?"

The woman was a little big and thick, and asked angrily: "What are you doing? You're all busy!"

Gu Ao: "Well, I am a newly-reported youth. Can I complete the procedures and allocate my residence?"
