When Qiu Mingquan finally arrived at the gate of Jianxin Middle School, just in time for the end of the final exam, a large group of students rushed out of the school gate.
Qiu Mingquan plucked up his courage, and stopped in front of a girl: "Student, you, hello!"
The girl wore the most common ponytail and wore black glasses frames, and took a step back vigilantly: "What are you doing?"
Qiu Mingquan blushed, and asked in a low voice: "I want to ask, when is the end-of-term parents' meeting in your school?"
The girl looked at him suspiciously, and seeing that he was not tall but handsome, she replied casually, "What are you doing in three days?"
Qiu Mingquan bowed sincerely: "Thank you."
Turning around and leaving the school gate, he took out a small notebook that he carried with him, and wrote down a line of small words in it: "Jianxin Middle School, parents' meeting on January 13th."
After a few days, Qiu Mingquan's small notebook has already densely arranged the specific dates of parent-teacher meetings of more than a dozen nearby primary and secondary schools.
One week after the exam is over, it is time for all primary and secondary schools to hold parent-teacher meetings.
"Okay, hurry up and go to the city tomorrow." Feng Rui said decisively, "Bring your passbook and money."
Qiu Mingquan stayed there for a long time before expecting Ai Ai: "Are you really going to steal money from the family?"
"What is stealing?" Feng Rui said bitterly, "Take your own money and make more money, how can you call it stealing?!"
He thought that if he lived a new life, there would be opportunities to make a fortune everywhere, but being tied to this super poor man, he had to recognize the reality.
Where does the principal come from?
It is now 1988, which is a relatively vacuum period in the securities and stock market. Four years ago, Feilo Audio, the first stock in Shanghai, was just issued; It was the first of its kind to set up agency stock trading business.
On the first day of opening, the entire Jing'an branch only sold more than 1,000 shares of Feilo Acoustics and Yanzhong Industrial as an agent, with a turnover of only 50,000 yuan.
- The market is too small!
Even if you buy and sell these stocks, you need to have a cost ranging from a few thousand. For the Feng family at this time, this amount of money is just drizzle, but for a poor class like Qiu Mingquan, it is definitely an astronomical figure.
Alright, alright, let him, Feng Rui, take this little migrant worker and try to truly start from scratch!
After inquiring about several schools, it was already evening when I got home.
It gets dark early in winter, when Qiu Mingquan stepped into the compound, he thought the house was closed, but he saw bright lights at a glance.
Almost all the doors of the houses were open, and many neighbors gathered in the courtyard. Qiu Mingquan even saw the hunchbacked figures of his grandparents in the crowd.
"What's the matter?" A bad premonition suddenly floated in his heart, and he quickly ran a few steps closer, just in time to see Wu Dagen, a strong neighbor, whose face was covered in blood among the crowd, and his wife, Aunt Wang, was wiping it for him.
"Let's go to the health center to fix it." Aunt Wang's eyes were red, and she couldn't help complaining sharply, "You have to stand out! Last time you beat those people, who are you looking for now?"
Grandma Qiu hugged her grandson in her arms, tears welled up in her cloudy old eyes: "Why did you come back so late, I thought you too... scared us to death!"
Grandpa Qiu remained silent, his tightly clenched fists finally relaxed a bit. Just now when Wu Dagen came back after being beaten with a sap outside, the hearts of the old couple were suspended.
Speaking of revenge, last time this kid Ming Quan forged a death feud with those people!
Qiu Mingquan hugged his grandma comfortingly before he stood up and said succinctly: "Was beaten by those people?"
The last time Wu Dagen stepped forward in person and hit a man on the head with a coal ball, helping him block the fatal blow, but today he was even retaliated against.
Wu Dagen waved his hand: "It's nothing."
Aunt Wang screamed, "It's all right? What's wrong with being stabbed!"
She turned her head to look at Qiu Mingquan, and muttered: "When I came back from get off work, I was blocked by some strange hooligans on the road, with a wine bottle on my head, and kicked on my body several times."
Wu Dagen hesitated for a moment, and said in a muffled voice, "They even said that everyone in our compound should be careful."
The neighbors gathered around him all looked ugly, Liu Qinhua interjected worriedly: "I heard that the shanty town on the west side of the road suddenly caught fire last night, although no one was killed, but several houses were burned, early this morning , Wang Daquan and his gang took people there, and said to the burnt families: You burned such a broken house, 500 yuan per level, if you don’t sell it, it might only be worth 300 yuan next time .”
Liu Dongfeng was so angry that he slammed his fist on the door: "Why didn't anyone catch them bastards!"
Liu Qin gave his son a blank look: "What evidence is there? The arsonist was not caught on the spot."
One of the neighbors had an expression of shock and resentment on his face: "I also heard that before they left, they told the residents in that area that the fire is the most ruthless thing, and maybe they will burn people to death next time? Over there Many of them are scared, and they are discussing to make a price and negotiate with them."
Qiu Mingquan smiled lightly on the side.
Liu Qinhua looked at him immediately: "Xiaoquan, what do you say?"
All the neighbors also looked at it together. After what happened that day, who can see this little doll as a real child again?
Qiu Mingquan said lightly: "The harder they do it, the greater the interests behind it, and it also means that what I heard that day is true."
The neighbors were silent.
Everyone knows this truth, but now that the door has been knocked on, will they be forced to sell it at a low price after the house is burned down?
"Everyone, uncles and aunts. Our teacher said that in this world, there is no benefit that can be obtained without giving." Qiu Mingquan showed a naive expression, "Either we should actively deal with it and defend our home, or we can discuss things like those people. The unreconciled low price will be robbed by them."
On one side, Grandpa Qiu suddenly looked up at Qiu Mingquan, with a strange emotion in his eyes.
At this moment, Feng Rui, who was really in control of Qiu Mingquan's body, didn't notice it, his eyes sparkled, and he looked around at everyone: "If you're afraid, then start looking for a house and move out as soon as possible tomorrow. It's pointless to pretend to be an ostrich."
Aunt Wang put her mind to one side: "How do you deal with it actively?"
Qiu Mingquan smiled: "First, from tomorrow onwards, everyone will go out and go home together, don't leave alone; second, borrow a few big wolf dogs from relatives in the countryside, and guard the house at night; If any house is really beaten or burned, we will pay for the medical bills and share the rebuilding costs together, so don’t let the hard-nosed people feel cold.”
He spoke clearly, concisely and to the point, and what he said was feasible, everyone was moved when they heard it.
"As long as everyone puts all their energy into one place, there's nothing really hard to get through." Qiu Mingquan said softly, his voice seemed to have a kind of magical power, "Those people also use money to do things, and they won't really come to their lives when they encounter difficulties. "
Liu Dongfeng nodded sharply, and said loudly: "Mingquan is right! I don't believe that evil can win good!"
Soon, other families also loudly supported: "I think it can be done. I will borrow a dog tomorrow. The rhubarb from my brother's house can understand human nature!"
"Okay, we are a group of several families, going out and going in together, each group is matched with a few old men, I don't believe in broad daylight, they dare to kill people!"
The atmosphere became lively, Liu Qinhua smiled at the corner of her mouth, ran home, and when she came out, she snapped out a ten-yuan bill: "Mingquan is right, if anyone's family is injured because of this incident, the medical expenses will be paid together! "
"That's right, Angkor was beaten because of all of us, so we can't make him suffer!" Five-yuan and ten-yuan banknotes gathered together.
Qiu Mingquan straightened out the money with a smile, and handed it to Aunt Wang: "Auntie, the money is for Uncle Wu to see a doctor."
Aunt Wang was stunned for a moment. Looking at the stack of banknotes, and then at Qiu Mingquan's clear eyes, his lips trembled for a long time, but he didn't speak.
... in the dead of night.
People in the compound went back to their houses, turned off the lights and went to bed.
Qiu Mingquan and his grandparents slept side by side on the bed, but Grandpa Qiu tossed and turned, suddenly turned sideways in the dark night, stared at his grandson for a while, then turned around again, and snored after a long time.
Qiu Mingquan pretended to be asleep, and began to discuss with Feng Rui in his heart.
"That's all I can do now, but you, hurry up and get something to defend yourself." Feng Rui pondered.
That hooligan Wang Daquan was frightened last time and suffered a big loss. It is unknown whether he will really retreat or will be unwilling.
"What are you doing?" Qiu Mingquan also became nervous.
"A dagger with a blood groove, a triangular-scratch-knife, a spring-jump-knife, anything is fine." President Feng seemed very excited, "In fact, throwing a stick is the most practical, but it is not as deterrent as a knife."
"...Will it be too cruel?" Qiu Mingquan smiled wryly.
Feng Rui snorted coldly: "You have a weak body, if you don't make your weapon harder, you will die if you are preemptively attacked."
After thinking for a while, he said coldly again: "People don't offend me, I don't offend others, so there is no need to show mercy to criminals!"
Qiu Mingquan said "Oh", and the upper eyelids began to fight with the lower eyelids. Suddenly, Feng Rui let out a low cry: "Get up, wake up!"
Qiu Mingquan was startled, his eyes suddenly opened in the dark night: "What's wrong?"
Feng Rui was a little serious: "I heard movement outside, there are at least two people!"
Since becoming a remnant soul, he also discovered one thing: his sensory ability is far stronger than normal people, almost reaching the point of psychic hearing and eyes.
So in these few fights, not only the skills learned in previous lives worked, but the real reason was because of his amazing induction!
"Is it those people?!" Qiu Mingquan became very nervous, "What should I do? Do you want to wake up the neighbors now?"
Feng Rui pondered for a moment: "Don't startle the snake, it can be dealt with."
...
Liu Dongfeng lived in a house facing the south, and while he was sleeping soundly, he suddenly heard a few knocks on the window lattice, and in the dead of night, he suddenly got up.
Looking at the blurred black head on the window, he suddenly remembered the burning of the shanty town next door that he just mentioned, and couldn't help but tremble.
"Who?!..." He yelled sharply, but heard a familiar voice, very soft but calm.
"Brother Dongfeng, it's me, Mingquan."
Liu Dongfeng's spirit relaxed, and he put back his nervous beating heart, but Qiu Mingquan's next sentence made his scalp tingle again, and his hair stood on end!
"Someone touched it, it should be set on fire." Qiu Mingquan said softly.
Liu Dongfeng quickly got dressed, opened the window, and looked at the boy with his head up in the night: "How do you know that!"
Qiu Mingquan raised a finger on his lips: "I got up to pee, and saw a few figures sneaking around outside."
Liu Dongfeng said angrily: "These bastards, we call someone!"
Qiu Mingquan shook his head: "Don't call me, we are enough."
Seeing that Liu Dongfeng was in a daze, he smiled slyly, with a strange light in his eyes: "Arson is not the same as 'attempting arson'."
Liu Dongfeng finally understood, yes, they have to be convicted of their crimes before they can be convicted of serious crimes and deter those gangsters!
At this time, they were all bungalows, and there were no such exquisite protective windows. He jumped out of the window neatly, and asked murderously, "Where are those people?"
Grandma Qiu took it in a daze, she could see the red one hundred percent clearly, she couldn't believe her eyes for a moment.
"Grandma, Koizumi is a good seedling. It won't be a problem to get into a good university in the future. You have to train him well." Teacher Feng said sincerely.
Suddenly remembered something, she couldn't help but said to Grandma Qiu: "The child is so young, let him concentrate on his studies in the future, don't worry about other chores."
Grandma Qiu's lips trembled with joy, but she felt sad when she heard Teacher Feng's words: Yes, the family is poor, and the old couple have to go out to pick up garbage and sell money to make ends meet. Most of the children from other families are enjoying the love of their parents at this time So pampered, their family wants their children to take on a lot of housework early on.
Teacher Feng hesitated for a moment: "I heard that Koizumi is selling something, like a pen?"
After looking at the impoverished house, she roughly understood why Qiu Mingquan was in business. This made her feel a little uncomfortable. In this era, most people still advocate "study mathematics, physics and chemistry well, and not be afraid to travel all over the world." In the eyes of teachers, doing business is really a foolish thing.
There was a soft knock at the door, and Grandpa Qiu held a crumpled white plastic bag in his hand, and hesitantly repeated: "Teacher, you, you said... saw Koizumi selling pens?"
Teacher Feng smiled: "His classmates saw it. But, I'm not here to complain. I just think that Koizumi's grades are so good. It would be a pity if he was distracted and delayed?"
Grandpa Qiu listened in a daze, walked to the bed, looked at the swollen place on the back of Qiu Mingquan's hand, and suddenly squatted on the ground silently, covering his face.
Cloudy old tears fell drop by drop.
The child didn't lie, and he didn't do anything outrageous!
Qiu Mingquan quickly jumped off the ground, hugged the old man vigorously, and rubbed his furry head against Grandpa's chest: "Grandpa... I'm fine. Don't cry."
Teacher Feng looked at the family of three crying for no reason, and was taken aback: He just said a few words casually, and he didn't speak harshly. How did he make this old and young like this?
After finally waiting for the three to calm down, Qiu Mingquan wiped the tears on his face embarrassingly, and nodded gratefully to Teacher Feng: "Thank you, teacher, I will pay attention to handling the relationship between study and business."
Teacher Feng was taken aback, business? This kid, really takes this kind of messy thing seriously?
She was about to say something more, but out of the corner of her eyes, she caught sight of the leftovers on the small wooden table next to her, and then thought of Qiu Mingquan's usual shabby clothes, and swallowed all the words back into her stomach.
She sighed, and on impulse, she took out the small canvas wallet, took out a few ten-yuan bills from it, took out another one cruelly, and stuffed it into Grandma Qiu's hand.
"I'm Koizumi's class teacher, you take this money first!" She knew that the old man would give in, so she put down the money and ran out the door in a hurry, "The child is sick, don't delay the treatment, and you have to buy some food and supplements Body!"
The two old men looked at the banknotes and didn't react for a while.
fifty dollars! In this day and age, this is almost one-third of a middle school teacher's monthly salary. The point is, everyone is short of money!
Qiu Mingquan first struggled to jump up, took the money and chased him out.
"Teacher, teacher!" He caught up with Teacher Feng vainly, his face was flushed with fever, and now he flushed even more, "...my family has money, please take it back!"
Teacher Feng made a stern face and pretended to be angry: "You child, why don't you listen to the teacher! Look at how thin you are, how can you study without physical strength!"
"No, no... I can't take this money." Qiu Mingquan kept shaking his head,
