C19 Agreement 3
At 11 o'clock in the afternoon, in the village of Little River Village, a few children are fighting a snowball war and making snowmen. Snow at the beginning of spring, although it was common in the Northern Lands, it was still a happy thing for the children.
In the distance, the long whistle of the bus arrived as scheduled.
This was the last bus of the day.
Very quickly, a figure carrying large and small bags appeared at the village entrance.
This person was naturally Liu Sanshun.
He had really bought quite a few things this time. Both of his hands were full. He was so tired that he was covered in sweat. When his sweat met the cold, it turned into waves of white gas that rose. From afar, it looked like he had achieved immortality.
Several children surrounded him together, laughing loudly as they snatched things from Liu Sanshun's hands.
"Liu Sanshun, I want to eat canned food. . . "
"I want to eat sugar. . . "
" I want to eat cake. . . "
"I want to drink milk. . . "
Liu Sanshun dodged left and right, rushing these naughty children.
"Go, go, go. I'm giving them away. Don't mess around with me. If you want to drink milk, go back and find your mother. . . "
The children were originally playing around. They dispersed in a hubbub and turned around to face Liu Sanshun. They shouted together, "Liu Sanshun, you're shameless. Chase after the big girl. "
Liu Sanshun was not angry. He grinned and said, "You little brats only know how to pee and mud. What do you know? When you grow up, you have to be like me. Get lost and go play!"
After chasing away these troublemakers, Liu Sanshun held the things in his hands. He ran straight to Fu Xiaoqing's house.
He had spent a lot of effort this morning buying these gifts.
In terms of visual effects, giving gifts was far more important than giving money directly.
Of course, this also depended on the thickness of the money.
But Liu Sanshun could only take out five hundred yuan. Without a doubt, Fu Yonggui definitely did not want it.
But if it was something else, it would be different.
Five hundred dollars. He bought two bottles of liquor, two cigarettes, two boxes of milk, two boxes of walnut powder, and a pile of canned snacks. There was also a home appliances: Electric Razor.
Although he didn't buy any expensive tobacco and wine, he couldn't help but fill up the numbers. In this small village in the countryside, even if it was a festival, he definitely wouldn't be so generous as to come and give gifts.
Walking on a path covered in snow, Liu Sanshun walked with one foot deep and one foot shallow. His two hands were full, and his arms were almost broken.
Along the way, many people saw Liu Sanshun carrying two big bags, but no one paid attention to him. They all looked at him from afar and pointed at him.
Everyone knew in their hearts that this kid had been thinking about his eldest daughter for a long time. This time, he must have bought a gift to please Fu Yonggui.
Liu Sanshun finally walked to Fu Xiaoqing's door and shouted inside.
"Uncle, please open the door. I really can't carry it. . . "
After shouting a few times, no one came out. Liu Sanshun was puzzled when Fu Xiaoqing suddenly ran out of the yard. With a strange expression, she opened the door for Liu Sanshun.
"You. . . What's wrong?"
Liu Sanshun was confused. He had just entered the yard and before Fu Xiaoqing could reply, a person came from the backyard and picked up a shovel leaning against the wall.
"Liu Sanshun, did I warn you? If you come again, I will break your legs!"
Fu Yonggui was furious when he saw Liu Sanshun. He picked up the shovel and was about to attack.
Frightened, Liu Sanshun hurriedly put the thing in his hand onto the ground and waved his hands.
"Uncle, don't misunderstand. I have no other intentions. I am here to show respect to you. "
Fu Yonggui saw a large pile of things on the ground. The shovel stopped in midair.
As the saying goes, good. The officials were not in a hurry to give gifts. Not to mention, in this small village, one could be so generous in one go.
Fu Yonggui frowned when he saw the gifts Liu Sanshun brought.
"Kid, don't think that you can give me something. I can give you some face. I have something to do at home today. I won't keep you anymore, you can leave. In addition, I'll tell you clearly that Little Qing won't take a fancy to you. My daughter, I will chop her into pieces and feed her to the dogs. And not with you!"
". . . Uncle, look at you. Didn't you say to feed the duck earlier? Why did you have to feed the dog now? You are too cruel! . . . "
"I'm happy to be my daughter no matter what!"
Fu Yonggui glared at him and was about to swing his shovel again.
"No, no, no, let's talk it out. Don't do it. . . Uncle, I'll be frank with you today. I, Liu Sanshun, used to be unprofessional, but now I really want to learn how to paint fish skin. You said that it's best for Little Qing to do it in all the villages around here. If I don't look for her, who else can I look for? Oh, right. Don't mention that Master Li. I've already been to town. That old master is deaf and blind. He even changed my name to Niu San. . . "
Fu Xiaoqing couldn't help but cover her mouth and secretly laugh. Fu Yonggui glared at her. He turned his head and said to Liu Sanshun, "Regarding what you said today, I will also make it clear to you. I didn't agree with Xiaoqing making fish skin paintings in the first place. No one wants to look at this thing anymore. What's the use of making it? Can you make a fortune? I advise you to find some other business to do. Go and work. "
" Work? How much money can I earn by working? Let me tell you, uncle. You're an old brain. Nowadays, the people in the city especially like us, these rare things. It's just that we don't have many people to do it, and we haven't formed a business yet. Wait for me, Little Qing and I will set up a company that specializes in selling fish skin products from our hometown. We can guarantee that we'll be rich. "
"You? You want to set up a company? Return a business? Dream on! If you have the ability, I don't need you to start a company. If you can build me a new house within a year, I'll agree!"
"Sure, it's just a new house, no problem!"
"Stop talking nonsense. Your own house is about to collapse. Why are you building a house for me with a fart?"
Fu Yonggui blew his beard and glared at him. He did not say anything in a good tone.
At this time, Fu Xiaoqing's mother also walked over from the backyard and shouted from afar, "Her father, what are you talking about? Quickly find someone to set up a ladder to repair the house. The house at the gala has collapsed. "
Liu Sanshun's ears perked up. He was taken aback when he heard this and asked, "Repair the house? Repair what house? What's wrong?"
Fu Yonggui's expression was ugly. He threw the shovel away and touched his body, as if he wanted to find a cigarette to smoke.
But after searching for a long time, he only found a dried cigarette box. There was not a single cigarette inside.
Liu Sanshun hurriedly opened the "Red Plum" cigarette he had bought and handed one over in time.
"Uncle, let's just say it's a joke. Let's talk about it. It doesn't matter if you learn fishskin paintings or not. It doesn't matter if you live in the countryside or not. It's not a problem for me to put in some effort. "
Fu Yonggui received the cigarette he handed over and looked down. It was a packet of "red plums" that cost five yuan per packet.
He sighed and threw his pack of "ganoderma" cigarettes, which cost two yuan per packet, to the side.
Liu Sanshun stepped forward to light the cigarette. He smiled apologetically and stuffed the box of cigarettes into Fu Yonggui's pocket at the same time.
"Uncle, don't be angry. I really learned it now. If you don't believe me, you can ask my uncle. "
Fu Yonggui did not say anything. He took a few sips of his cigarette and looked at Liu Sanshun before looking at his daughter.
Fu Xiaoqing was obedient and took the initiative to say, "Liu Sanshun, my dad's in a bad mood today. Don't take it to heart. The snow was too heavy last night, and it crushed my family's sheep collar. Just now when I was repairing the sheep collar. . . My house's west house collapsed again. Fortunately, there was no one in the house, or else. . . "
She did not continue speaking, and Fu Yonggui did not respond either. However, looking at their expressions, Liu Sanshun understood everything.
Little River Village was poor, and Fu Yonggui's family was not rich either. If one were to count on fishing, they would not be able to make much money.
Now that the house had collapsed due to the heavy snow, the Fu family would most likely not be able to fork out money to repair it. That was why Fu Yonggui's expression was like this.
"So that's how it is. "
Liu Sanshun looked at Fu Xiaoqing, then looked at Fu Yonggui and suddenly smiled.
"Uncle, you always suspect that I have other intentions and are guarding against me like a thief. Today, let's make a bet. Within three months, I will build a new house for your family. If I can't do it, I will go up the mountain to dig soil and fetch water from the river. I'll make bricks myself and guarantee that I'll build your house! "
"You little rascal, you only know how to talk nonsense. Do you know how much it costs to build a new house? Three months? Are you going to rob me? " Fu Yonggui stood up. He unhappily choked on Liu Sanshun's words.
"I'm not talking nonsense, Uncle. As long as you give me a chance, don't talk about building a house in three months. Didn't you say that no one cares about fish skin paintings now? I can guarantee you that within a year, I will sell fish skin paintings overseas! "
Liu Sanshun's chest pounded loudly, and he did not hesitate in his words.
Fu Yonggui held a cigarette in his hand and did not reply.
He hesitated for a moment. He looked at Liu Sanshun and then looked at the pile of things on the ground. Finally, as if he had made up his mind, he spoke.
"Logically speaking, your father had a good relationship with me back then. I can't just watch as you can't find anything to do, but I have something to say first. Learning fish skin paintings is fine, but we have to make an agreement. First, You have to come to my house every morning to learn skills. Leave at noon. Don't get too close to Little Qing. Second, I don't have your food either. I don't care what you eat every day. If you think you can do it. . . Come tomorrow, if you can't. . . Take the things away. "
"Okay, that's great. Don't say I don't care about food. I can even bring food here every day. "
"You can forget about it. Even if you bring food, my house doesn't have a place for you to eat. There's a third option. I'll give you three months. You won't have an extra day!"
"No problem, one more day, I'm your son!"
"Bah, you wish!"
