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 parent meeting in your school?"
The girl looked at him suspiciously. 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 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 there would be opportunities for him to live a new life and 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.
