Chapter 2 Hoarding Sand(1/3)
In the Pizza Hut fast food restaurant, several tables of diners and waiters were shocked. They couldn't imagine how the girl sitting at the window could eat so well. Her head was only about 1.7 meters tall, and her weight was less than 100.
One, but with such a huge appetite, one person actually ate a twelve-inch pizza.
"Huzi, look at me, then look at you. You are really not a man. You don't even eat as much as a girl. You might as well change your name to a cat from now on. No matter how you have no energy and eat so little, where did you get it from?
Awesome." A plump, wavy girl weighing 150 pounds rolled her eyes and complained to her boyfriend across from her in disgust.
When the boyfriend, who was dry and thin, heard this, he was not happy and said, "You understand, why am I losing my energy?"
"You know it in your heart." The plump woman means something.
The tall and lanky man became even more angry, "Humph, I eat so much, but my body is so well-proportioned and tall. You are looking at me. No one eats much, and yet you are still so fat despite being clamoring to lose weight every day."
"Zhao Dahu, you think I'm fat, don't you? Why are you clinging to me if you think I'm fat? If you don't like me, break up." The plump girl seemed to have her tail stepped on.
"If we break up, let's break up. Am I still afraid of you?" The man threw his chopsticks, got up and left.
The woman also threw her chopsticks, cursed and left.
Watching the two people leave, Shen Na couldn't help laughing anymore. Fortunately, the two people left so quickly. Within ten seconds at night, she had to hold back her internal injuries.
Today was a really happy day. I encountered happy things one after another. Oh, by the way, why did I forget about that big bear? I had to join him quickly and give him the bad money. Otherwise, I would forget about it later. She didn’t want to owe him anything.
The favor of others, especially that big bear with an ungentlemanly look on his face.
Open WeChat, enter your phone number to start searching, and a message box pops up.
"Second senior brother in a tiger skin skirt? Hahaha, why do you have such a funny name?" Shen Na opened her small mouth and let out a sweet laugh like a silver bell. She added it directly with a move of her fingers.
But she waited for a long time and didn't receive a reply. "Hmph, I'll give you half an hour. If you don't add more, I'll scold you to death and the waiter will bring you the menu."
The waiter came over with a color-printed menu: "Beauty, what else do you need?"
"Bring me another fried chicken leg, a vegetable salad and a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice."
The waiter swallowed and placed the order.
…
Wang Biao did not ride home, but rode his motorcycle to the riverside. When he was in a bad mood in the past, he always liked to walk in the wild, look at the mountains, rivers, flowers and plants, gaze into the distance, listen to and feel the great scenery.
Natural sounds to relieve inner depression.
After parking the motorcycle under the shade of the trees on the side road, we walked through the riverside park and walked to an antique pavilion near the river bridge. In the pavilion, two old men were playing chess.
The breeze with the faint smell of fresh water blowing from the river blew away a lot of Wang Biao's inner boredom.
In recent years, the country has vigorously protected and beautified the environment. The Qingshui River is no longer as smelly as in previous years, and the water is much clearer. Many people once again appeared on the beach by the river, or walking on the beach.
Or chatting in the river breeze, or taking the children to play in the water and dig in the sand.
After the reform and opening up, the country has become more and more prosperous. Especially in these years, the national finance has allocated more than one trillion yuan every year to support and encourage various industries, among which agriculture is the most intensive. Wang Biao clearly remembers that when he was in elementary school
At that time, my family still had to pay task grains, allowances and agricultural taxes. Now not only do we no longer have to pay them, but the country also distributes grain subsidies to farmers every year. Now, whenever my grandparents talk about this matter, their faces are full of joy.
The smiles of happiness and contentment indicate that people of their generation are living in a good time.
People's lives are getting better and better, but the worry lines on Wang Biao's forehead are becoming more and more obvious.
The ancestors said that a person will stand up when he is thirty, but he was thirty, but he still accomplished nothing, and his five sons also had no possessions, no car, no house, no money, no wife, and no children.
I don't give him a good look every day, and I scold him from time to time, saying that he has no future, he is a loser, he doesn't have a job, he can't even get a wife, and he went to college for nothing...
People in the village often use him as a topic to kill time in front of and behind the scenes. Although his family tells the neighbors in the village that he is writing a novel, and the folks in the countryside also 'praise' him and say that he is talented, but he knows that these people talk
He praised him, but he was actually laughing at him behind his back.
Among his classmates, no one had a worse life than him, and almost all of them were married and started businesses.
Thinking of the data of almost no new readers and the click-through rate every day, Wang Biao was shaken. Can he really write a future? Can he really support himself by writing novels, buy a house, buy a car, marry a wife, and feed his children?
With parents?
But, what can you do if you don’t write novels? Jiangyuan is just an ordinary prefecture-level city, with only one oil field as its main pillar industry. And because the oil reserves are getting smaller and smaller, the oil field is gradually declining, and many oil field workers have been bought out.
, external tune of external tune.
Returning to Beijing? But after two years of unemployment, it is really slim to find a job with the same salary as before. Moreover, even if you find it, when will you be able to afford a house, get married and start a family?
The novel has already written more than 900,000 words, but the click-through rate has not reached the expected explosion. When will the monthly manuscript fee reach 5,000, he now has no hope at all.
How sad!
As far as the eye can see, on the river, several old small sand mining boats are scattered on the river within one or two hundred meters on both sides of the river bridge, pumping up the river sand and depositing it on the river.
On the island in the center of the river where the sand has shrunk by several thousand square meters, there are seven or eight such sand piles. There are four or five piles on both sides of the bridge pier, and there is an even larger sand pile by the woods on the south bank.
Large dump trucks passed through a river road, transporting sand back and forth to the large sand pile on the south bank. Over there, heavy trucks were waiting. After more than ten minutes, the fully loaded
They will transport dozens or hundreds of sand to other places.
In his opinion, it was not a cart or a pile of sand, but a pile of red tablets. Grandpa Mao. Unfortunately, he was just a farmer with no background. Otherwise, if he could get
With this permission to fish for sand and dredging, he can become a multi-billionaire in less than a month.
By then, let alone buildings and cars, even villas will only be idle. With a chicken coop built with gold, are you afraid that you won’t be able to attract a golden phoenix? At that time, you won’t be worried about not getting a wife, but you will be worried about what to do.
Reject the love and pursuit of others.
Hey hey hey, after some lustful thoughts, Wang Biao's worries suddenly dissipated a lot.
However, I remember reading the news a few days ago that it seemed that fishing for sand in rivers was no longer allowed.
Thinking of this, he asked the two old men sitting aside, "Uncle, I remember watching the news a while ago. In order to control Dongting Lake or Panyang Lake, the Ministry of Environmental Protection even sent environmental supervisors.
The team went to deal with it. Logically speaking, we are probably not allowed to fish for sand, so why are they still fishing for sand in such a big way and no one is here to take care of it?"
When the old man with pale hair and wearing a shirt heard the sound, he sneered a few times and said inscrutably: "Haha, young man, you don't understand this. This is a dredging project contracted by others. This is a clearing project with special funds."
The siltation project is not about fishing for sand."
"What? A dredging project? Just to clean up such an area, and even excavate Jiangxin Island and sell the earth, do you still have to pay them? This is simply a business with no capital and huge profit. Put it this way, I can do it too." Wang
Biao said loudly with his eyes shining.
Another younger man looked Wang Biao up and down and said with a curled mouth: "You guys really dare to think that this is something ordinary people can do? Can you get such a project without a strong and strong background?"
"That's it! Damn it..." Wang Biao cursed bitterly and finally found a huge money source. However, none of his parents and relatives were high-ranking officials, even the village chief.
There is no big official, alas!
Looking at the piles of sand, Wang Biao was extremely annoyed and resentful. He went deep into Baoshan, but he could only sigh when he looked at the sand. It felt really fucked to come back empty-handed. Why didn't he make a fortune?
At this time, a piercing ringtone rang. Wang Biao took out his mobile phone and saw that it was an unfamiliar number from Beijing. He felt a little excited, hey, hey, is there another customer looking for me?
Thinking of this, he swiped his finger and said, "Hello."
"Hello sister." A harsh voice came from the receiver.
Wang Biao's face turned green instantly, and he felt a little disappointed. How could he be that little shrew? "Your sister, why do you curse people when you open your mouth?"
"I'm just scolding you. Who told you not to add me on WeChat? Don't you want to be a big bear or a bastard?" An extremely arrogant voice came from the other end of the phone.
"You are the one who wants to be..." Wang Biao was so angry that he didn't die.
"What? You still want to scold me? Why is your skin itchy again?" Shen Na's gloomy voice came from the phone.
Wang Biao's scalp tightened instantly, and he swallowed the three words 'bastard' back into his stomach, and cowardly argued: "What did I scold you for? I am a qualified person. I was busy before and didn't read it.
Mobile phone, can I add you on WeChat now, Miss?, Okay, I’ll hang up.”
"Hey... this little bastard actually dares to hang up on me. Humph, the second senior brother is wearing a tiger skin skirt? The big pig-headed Pig Bajie is just about the same. Yes, I'll just note this for you." Shen Na maliciously slid her finger to remove Wang Biao's
Enter the mobile phone number into the address book.
Wang Biao opened WeChat and clicked on his address book. When he saw the message, he became angry and said, "A little fairy who has just come to the mortal world, can you really put gold on your face and return the little fairy? A devil, a tigress is almost the same, if you
Fairy, I am the male god."
As soon as he clicked to agree to apply for addition, the WeChat prompt sounded and he remembered that a red envelope message appeared in his WeChat dialog box. There were several words marked on the red envelope - car repair fee.
Wang Biao glanced at it, and asked, "How much does it cost to repair the car? Are you the kind of person who will be rewarded for doing good deeds? Is this someone who is short of ten or twenty yuan? Is he short of ten or twenty yuan?"
More than two hundred thousand people!
I put the phone screen in my trouser pocket and thought about sand again in my mind. If the rivers in Jiangyuan City are also prohibited from harvesting sand, then the price of sand will definitely increase in the future. If I stock up a large amount of sand at this time, I will wait for it in the future.
If the price of sand increases and you sell it, you will definitely make a lot more money. Yes, that's what we do.
Garlic can be fried, and sand can also be fried. Hehehe, he may be the first person in Jiangyuan, or even in China, to eat crabs fried with sand.
The more Wang Biao thought about it, the more excited he became. The time had come to get rid of poverty and become a well-off society. The matter of buying a house and marrying a wife could finally see the light of day. Thinking of this, he suppressed the excitement in his heart, walked through the park, and went to the supermarket to buy a
After packing Yuxi cigarettes and a lighter, he rode his saucy motorcycle across the bridge and ran towards the south of the Yangtze River.
There are more than a dozen Dongfeng, Jiefang, FAW and other heavy-duty dump trucks and four-axle trailers parked on the forest road on the south bank. More than 20 people are scattered under the shade of the trees on both sides of the forest road, smoking and chatting.
Wang Biao walked up to a strong man who looked kind and bold, and after saying a few words, he handed over a cigarette and said, "Here, brother, have a smoke."
The strong man looked Wang Biao up and down, smiled, took it without politeness, lit Wang Biao's lighter, and took a deep breath, "Brother, tell me what's going on?"
Wang Biao didn't mince words and said with a smile: "Brother, how much does it cost to pull this sand?"
"Eight dollars a pop."
