Chapter 22: Make some extra money(1/2)

Gao Baosheng came out of the cave dwelling and saw his fourth uncle fetching water for his family. His mother had already filled his face with water.

"Baosheng is up!" Gao Guoming saw Gao Baosheng getting up and asked him.

After learning that Baosheng actually bought a car, Gao Guoming was very surprised. Remembering that he once told him that he would use the green sea lake in the village to raise fish, Gao Guoming no longer thought that Baosheng was just talking. When he saw Baosheng again today, he felt that his nephew

It no longer seems the same as before.

"Fourth uncle, let me carry the water so early!" Gao Baosheng stepped forward to take Gao Guoming's pole and asked him to stop him.

"Hurry up and eat. You have to deliver anti-sand grass to other villages in the countryside! That's a big deal. Just come and do these things." Gao Guoming said.

"Uncle Fourth, wait a minute!" Gao Baosheng entered his cave when he saw this, took out two roast chickens from the space, and handed them to Gao Guoming.

"Yesterday when I came back from the county and passed by, I saw a roast chicken seller and bought some. You can give one to my second uncle's house later and take one back to my third uncle's house." Gao Baosheng said.

"Okay, if you need me, just tell me. My uncle doesn't know anything, he just works hard!" Gao Guoming said.

"Our family's life will definitely get better and better. After the autumn harvest is over, I plan to build a house for you. Then we will renovate our yard and build a brick wall and an iron gate."

Gao Baosheng said to Gao Guoming.

The fourth uncle is already 28 years old, which is considered very old in rural areas. If he doesn't build a house, he may be a bachelor for the rest of his life. He is still living in the third uncle's house.

"Okay, I'll do whatever you want." Gao Guoming said with a smile.

Gao Baosheng ate breakfast quickly. Maybe he had eaten too much meat in the past few days. Today, he felt that the polenta and potatoes at home had a different taste.

I drove out and started a fire. I checked that the oil level was still one-third. I sent anti-sand grass to two villages this morning. Gao Baosheng planned to go to Baota City at noon. In this way, he should be able to clear the sand grass at 6 p.m. just like yesterday.

Pull it out, so that the task will be completed in five days.

The delivery of anti-sand grass in the morning went smoothly. Gao Baosheng went out at 6 o'clock in the morning. By 10:30, the 54 square meters of sand grass in the space had been delivered. At 11:30 in Yuyang County, Gao Baosheng went to the gas station to fill up the gas tank.

Gas, 180 yuan is gone again.

He only has 180 yuan left on him now, and he will be out of money if he can refill the tank just one more time.

This tank of gas should allow him to make three trips. If that doesn't work, he can find time to go to Green Sea Lake to catch some fish. Although there are no big fish in the lake, he can still save a few hundred yuan.

When Gao Baosheng came to the sand control grassland in Baota City in the afternoon, it was exactly four o'clock, exactly the same as yesterday. Gao Baosheng used the same method to pull 90 square meters of sand control grass and came to the hotel where he stayed yesterday. Early the next morning

It was just dawn and we drove home empty-handed.

On the way, Gao Baosheng ate a few bites of the potatoes he brought back yesterday and the beef from the space warehouse. He tried not to waste time on eating. When he got tired from driving, he would lean on the side of the road and close his eyes to take a rest. With space and water, he could basically maintain his energy.

full.

It was only around 5 o'clock in the afternoon, and all the anti-sand grass was delivered. Today was the second time that 180 square meters of grass had been pulled out, and the last 140 square meters were left. It could be easily completed in three days without any problem. When he returned home, he brought cornmeal with him. Arrive at the Green Sea Lake.

Today, the children in the village have been playing around him, and everyone in the village knows that he bought a car. Erdan Daddy, who came to Dashui, also stopped next to Gao Baosheng, making it impossible for him to catch fish secretly.

It lasted until it was almost dark. One person left and a few came back. Gao Baosheng didn't catch a single fish. Seeing that there was no hope of catching fish today, Gao Baosheng sighed and planned to go home, but saw everyone around him suddenly leaving. .

Gao Baosheng was wondering why everyone left. Has the opportunity to catch fish come? At this time, a familiar voice sounded behind him.

"Baosheng, I heard from the villagers that you bought a car!" Shen Ruobing hadn't seen Gao Baosheng in the past few days, and she couldn't help but feel a little panicked. She planned to go to the lake to relax alone tonight, but she saw people around here. There are a bunch of people, isn’t Baosheng the one in the middle?

"It's just a second-hand medium-sized truck, used for hauling goods." Gao Baosheng replied.

"It's not easy to own a truck. How long have you become a car owner?" Shen Ruobing came to Gao Baosheng, looked at him and said happily.

"People who have cars are talking about pulling trucks? In the countryside, we have to pull trucks to prevent sand and grass. I thought it would be more convenient to buy a car by myself, so I borrowed some money from a friend.

It is better to find some work after the busy things in the village are over during this period than to be idle in the village." Gao Baosheng said.

"You should do something. There are still a month and a half before the start of school. With your ability, it shouldn't be difficult to earn enough money to go to college. Moreover, entrepreneurship is also encouraged in universities now. If you go to the city, you will have opportunities to make money. "Shen Ruobing then talked about letting Baosheng go to college.

"Why are you talking about college again?" Gao Baosheng looked at Shen Ruobing and said with a smile.

"It's nothing, I just feel that you can get into Jiaotong University. It would be a pity not to go to university! After all, diplomas are important wherever you go now." Shen Ruobing said a little unnaturally.

"Well! I know this, but I feel that it is not my path, so just wait! If I haven't decided on my future path after a month and a half, then I will go to the school to apply for suspension of study.

What do you think about going back to school without achieving any results in a year?" Gao Baosheng looked at Shen Ruobing and asked.

"As long as you make the decision about your affairs, why are you asking me?" Shen Ruobing's face turned red with embarrassment.

"Didn't you ask?" Gao Baosheng turned to look at the lake and said.

"Then you bought a car, can you keep the fish?" Shen Ruobing asked.

“Of course we have to raise it, why not raise it and rely on it to improve life in the village!

I bought a truck just to make it easier to sell fish in the future. Without a truck, I wouldn’t be able to send the fish out even if they grow too big,” Gao Baosheng said.

"Then you go to the city these days, and when you have time, go to the city bookstore and buy some books on fish farming. I'll take a look and help you in the future." Shen Ruobing said.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Okay, I'll trouble you! In four days, I will finish transporting the anti-sand grass. Then I can go home and take a rest."

Yesterday, the anti-sand grass in the village was finally planted. My dad said that the saplings had already been submitted. Maybe the village will send the saplings soon.

Look, it’s almost time to harvest the wheat. The busiest months of the year in our village are July and August. The children will take exams tomorrow and the next two days, and summer vacation will be the day after tomorrow. You don’t have to go to the desert with everyone every day. ." Gao Baosheng said.

"Just do what you can! You can go, why can't I go?" Shen Ruobing asked with a smile.

"How can you and I be the same?" Gao Baosheng talked to Shen Ruobing for a while and felt a lot more relaxed.

He didn't go to school to see Shen Ruobing for so many days. The two of them chatted until very late at night, and Baosheng sent Shen Ruobing back to school.

Early the next morning, Gao Baosheng set out before dawn.

When he arrived at the county town, he saw that there was only less than half of the gas left in the gas tank. He went to the gas station to fill up the tank, and he only had more than 40 yuan left.

He still had to make two trips to complete the mission, and the oil was not enough. Selling fish was out of the question. Gao Baosheng was thinking about how to make money when he suddenly saw trucks waiting for work on both sides of the road, and he paid attention.

There must be a lot of people going to the city from this county. People call for taxis every day. If you hitchhike yourself, you won't waste much time on the road. It's not difficult to make a small profit of one or two hundred.

"We are going to Suicheng City and Pagoda City. If there are people on the way, we will go there. The price is cheaper!" Gao Baosheng parked his car on the roadside and saw someone asking about the car, so he shouted.

"How much does it cost to send a set of furniture to the local taxation bureau community in Suicheng City?" The young man looked about twenty years old and was a little surprised to see Baosheng driving a sports car at such a young age.

"How many pieces of furniture?" Baosheng asked.

"There are more than ten pieces in different sizes. Your car should be able to fit them in. You'll pay when the goods arrive." The young man said.

When they heard about the payment on delivery, many people who originally wanted to grab the business left immediately. There must be bad luck here. If there is damage to the furniture on the road, let alone asking for money, you have to pay.

"If the furniture has fragile parts, it's four hundred yuan! If it's not, it's two hundred and sixty yuan! I'm only responsible for delivering the goods intact, not for transporting them," Gao Baosheng said.

His car is a medium-sized truck, and its asking price is relatively low here. The young man hesitated after thinking about it.

"We will move it ourselves. Only one coffee table is made of glass, and the rest is fine. How about just 260?" said the young man.

"Let's go!" Gao Baosheng got in the car. There was a customer just after he arrived. It was good to make two hundred and sixty on the way, but he didn't have time to wait here.

Arriving at the county community compound, Gao Baosheng saw a group of people already filling the yard with furniture. He directed everyone to carry things into the carriage. Put the things that are not afraid of being touched at the bottom, and put the fragile things at the top until everything is put away. He closed the carriage board himself.

"Young master, please don't break things!" A middle-aged woman said worriedly when she saw Gao Baosheng put the fragile furniture on it so easily.

"Don't worry! Nothing will go wrong." Gao Baosheng returned to the carriage, and the young man who called the car got into the passenger seat.

Gao Baosheng slowly started riding his bike. When he left the county community, he saw a big hole in front of him and got off the bike.

"Master, where are you going?" the young man asked.

"Sit tight and don't get down!" Gao Baosheng quickly got into the carriage and put all the fragile and touchable furniture in the carriage into the space warehouse.

The young man had no doubts. After leaving the county seat, Gao Baosheng increased the speed of the car. The journey of more than 30 kilometers took only half an hour. When he arrived at the gate of the local taxation bureau community, Gao Baosheng found an excuse to get out of the car and put away those fragile things.

After putting out the furniture, the car slowly drove into the community.

"Master, your driving skills are really good. This is 260 yuan, thank you for your hard work!" Seeing that all the furniture was not broken at all, the young man paid the money, and Baosheng collected the money and left.

Having arrived in the city, Gao Baosheng drove to the Han and Tang Bookstore, which is the largest bookstore in Suicheng City. He went to the reference book area and saw that there were quite a few trees related to farming, whether it was raising fish, cattle, chickens, etc.

Even books on ecological recycling farming that have just been proposed by the country are available here.

Baosheng bought more than twenty copies at one time, spending a total of fifteen yuan.

It was only after ten o'clock after buying the book. Gao Baosheng drove to Baota City again. It was only after three o'clock when he arrived in Baota City.

Now that he comes more frequently, the time spent on the road is shorter, and since he has food in his space, he doesn't have to get out of the car to eat and waste time.

When I came to the grassland today, there were even fewer people here. Baosheng drove into the grassland and saw someone talking to several truck drivers there. The drivers were waving, obviously the business was not concluded.

What struck Baosheng's attention was that this young man looked like a leader, but he spoke in a low voice. When he drove closer, he heard that the other person's accent was from nearby Yuyang County.

Seeing this, Gao Baosheng stopped the car next to that person. If he meets a fellow villager so far away, he has to help him no matter what.

"Are you from Yuyang County?" Baosheng got out of the car and looked at the young man and asked.

"Yes, you are from Yuyang County too? You are a truck driver, right? Is your truck equipped with anti-sand grass?" The young man saw Gao Baosheng parking his car and asked hurriedly.

"I'm here to help others. What difficulties have you encountered? It's not easy for us as fellow villagers here. I'll help you if I can!" Gao Baosheng said.

"Well, I'm from Mawang Township. I have already dealt with the sand control issue in my hometown. I don't know what's going on in this city. I went to the countryside to investigate the sand control issue. We have a village...16 short

Fang Cao, why don't I make another trip today?" the young man said.

"It's 16 square meters short of grass. You can just supply it. What's the problem?" Gao Baosheng asked.

"When I came today, I left in a hurry, so I only brought 1,200 yuan. I wanted to call a taxi, but no one was willing to go," the young man said.

“It’s 356 kilometers to go to Yuyang County. Loading here and unloading there takes at least two days, and sometimes we have to walk at night.
