"Master, we stopped working today to pay wages, and the Chinese New Year is about to come. Why aren't you happy?"

Yi Chuanzong has not been very happy since he came this morning.

Gong Zhoujie discovered this problem carefully.

"Be happy, how can you not be happy during the New Year?"

"But can I be happy if I don't have money?"

Yi Chuanzong sneered, then lit a cigarette and started smoking silently.

At this time, he was sitting directly on the gray cement floor of the workshop, leaning against the workbench, looking particularly embarrassed.

It’s all because of lack of money!

I had been living on relief funds before, and my life was very nourishing.

Since it's not the New Year or the festival, it's nothing, and he seldom buys anything.

In other words, I bought Sister Hua a Phoenix brand bicycle, which costs more.

Phoenix brand women's bicycles are now very outstanding. Although they use less materials, the price is not cheap at all, one bicycle costs 165 yuan.

This is because it is a public bicycle shop and does not raise prices wildly because of women's comparison mentality. Even if the bicycles are more exquisite, the prices are still very reasonable.

I haven't settled the accounts before. Anyway, he has money and has never spent it all.

It has been three months and two days since mid-October to January 14th.

He gets four to five yuan every day, and now in mid-January, he has nearly 400 yuan.

The three little wild boars from the first time and the remaining ones from before, after buying his 28-inch bicycle, there were still fifty yuan left, which meant that there was a total of about four hundred and fifty yuan.

He usually spends money lavishly, buying cigarettes and wine. Master, uncle, and father-in-law are all indispensable.

We went out to eat fried liver, ordered some stir-fried dishes at a state-owned restaurant, and went shopping with my wife on a date. I spent almost 100 yuan and had more than 300 yuan left.

I spent more than 200 on buying bicycles, underwear, autumn clothes, sweaters, youth clothes, cardigans, woolen coats, small suits, small leather shoes, and miscellaneous things for Sister Hua, and only had more than 100 left.

Candies, snacks, cosmetics, small snacks and dried fruits for the two daughters-in-law, frozen persimmons and pears bought for the aunt, household necessities... This one is a little less.

Yi Chuanzong silently dug into his pocket, thinking that money appeared in his hand.

He reached out and put a little saliva on his tongue, and then started counting the money one by one.

Yi Chuanzong thought he was a rich man, but he didn't expect that there would be times when he needed to count money carefully.

Next to him, Gong Zhoujie was absentmindedly in a daze. He didn't want to work at the moment, but it didn't matter. Strictly speaking, their work was done anyway!

Just wait until you get off work!

The master is in no condition, and neither are their three apprentices.

The four people became the four lazy people in the 21st workshop, but no one in the entire workshop gossiped. Even Director Qian came over just now to say hello, and then left happily.

It's the Chinese New Year and it's normal for him not to want to work. Anyway, the overall task of the workshop has been completed, so he doesn't want to work either.

Shi Hang didn't work diligently at this moment, because he had no work at hand. He had finished all the work in the morning, and he could only do it for others.

But he tried, but was driven back, because others were also pretending that the workshop tasks were progressing rapidly, and everyone slowed down the work progress since yesterday.

He is feeling a little excited now. When work starts again after the Chinese New Year, apprentices like him will be able to undergo technical assessments, and the three of them will definitely become full-time workers by then.

According to the usual working level of three people, it is not sure whether they can pass the third-level job, but the second-level job also costs 38.6 yuan, which is 11 yuan more than now!

Suddenly, Shi Hang felt his sleeve being tugged. He pretended to be over there, but Liu Yuan raised his head and signaled, 'Look over there.'

The three of them had a tacit understanding. Shi Hang turned his head to look over and swallowed silently.

Yi Chuanzong held a stack of coins and counted them one by one. The yellow, yellow, and green colors were very bright, the color of money.

"Master, you are so rich!"

Yi Chuanzong finished tapping. At this time, the money had been neatly folded. The one cent was placed on the top, with the smallest area. Below it were two cents, five cents, one cent, two cents, fifty cents, and one piece.

Two dollars, five dollars, ten dollars.

It’s not that I’m too ‘poor’, it’s mainly that I want to pursue something careful.

A thick stack, a total of eighty-seven yuan and thirty-two cents.

After ordering it three times, I can’t go wrong.

Yi Chuanzong looked up at Shi Hang and asked, "Do you think I'm rich?"

Shi Hang said seriously: "Of course, if you have more than seventy yuan of this money, you will be able to live a good year."

Yi Chuanzong was silent for a moment, turned to look at Liu Yuan, and asked, "Do you also think I'm rich?"

"this……"

Liu Yuan knew from his expression that Yi Chuanzong was not happy. He was obviously dissatisfied with the money, but it was really a lot of money.

He considered it for a moment and said, "If you just buy New Year's goods for the New Year without giving gifts, the money you have will definitely be enough."

Yi Chuanzong nodded slowly. Food and drink alone were indeed enough. He turned around again and said, "Zhou Jie, what do you think?"

Gong Zhoujie replied in a slightly low voice: "Master, my family can lend you a hundred yuan."

Yi Chuanzong's pupils dilated slightly. Look, this smart man's words are more heartwarming and he can lead the way. The two people over there have also woken up!

Shi Hang gritted his teeth and said, "Master, I can also give you fifty."

Liu Yuan hesitated slightly, "Master, I can also give you a hundred yuan."

Yi Chuanzong rolled his eyes. Everyone was very kind, but why did this add up to two hundred and fifty?

"Okay, I appreciate the kindness of you three. The New Year's Eve is just like going through a new year. At this time, it's time to pay back the money, pay back the money, spend money, and spend money. It's not easy for anyone."

"Zhou Jie asks your father for money, are you afraid he will be beaten? You have stopped taking action in the past two years, so you can give me a break. You can also take a break for a year or two and wait for your wife to take over. After getting married, every time

It’s pure.”

"Shi Hang, please don't embarrass your aunt at home. You just managed to go to work, and you still have five younger brothers and sisters! My uncle has spent all the savings he gave you to go to the factory, and he expects you to turn around.

Uncle is a smart man."

"Liu Yuan, you are planning to get married during the Chinese New Year, so you should save your money. Once you get married, you will know that it will be okay if you are poor and miserable. But when it comes time to spend money for your wife, it will not feel good in your heart. I

Ah~ This poor disease cannot be cured in a short time."

"Besides, as a master, I am reduced to borrowing money from you. How miserable will I be? How miserable will I be?"

The three of them all lowered their heads silently. Not long after they all started working, most of the money was handed over to their families, and they didn't have much money left in their hands. They might have a dollar or two for emergencies.

'I'm so miserable! It's so miserable!'

With a cry of sadness in his heart, Yi Chuanzong took a puff of cigarette silently and looked at the space he carried with him.

Now the space is littered with everything, including stones, weapons, food, bricks, money bills, bullets, mortars...

He looked at the corner. Here was a wooden box and two tickets. These were good things that came out of the daily relief fund.

It's just that this thing is too good.

Two watch tickets to Rome, Switzerland!

There are three best brands in watches now, and he went to the supply and marketing cooperative to see them all.

Swiss Roman watches are expensive to import. Swiss watches have always been famous. The round silver dial looks a bit small, with a black frame, black scales, and a black leather strap. It is comfortable and beautiful, exquisite and solemn.

There is also the most old-fashioned plum blossom watch in later generations. This thing is now a hot commodity. It has a silver-white dial with a metallic luster all over it. When a man wears it, it must be calm, steady, majestic, and upright. Zonglie has one.

The Enager is similar to the Swiss Roman watch. This watch is a little lower because there are numbers on the dial. The four numbers 3, 6, 9, and 12 destroy the exquisiteness of the dial. However, it is very comfortable for people who are not used to scales.

of.

These three models are all steel manual three-hand, with two long hands, the thin one is the second hand, the thick one is the minute hand, and the slightly shorter thick hand is the hour hand.

He went to the supply and marketing cooperative and asked about it. The prices of the three watches were all over 290 yuan. The Roman watch was priced at 305 yuan because of its shortage.

Yi Chuanzong raised his hand and glanced at the money in his hand. He saw eighty-seven yuan and three cents. Less was a lot, but when it came to more... two watches were worth six hundred and ten cents. The problem was that he couldn't even afford one.

In fact, he still had something valuable in his hand. A small yellow croaker could be sold for more than 600 yuan.

I used a small yellow croaker as an arms leader, including guns, ammunition, and a mortar. Not to mention the sense of security, just looking at it was enjoyable. This is what real men should play.

He himself decided whether it was for peace of mind or to ensure his safety, which was even more justified.

He always felt a little weird if he used his sister's money to buy things for Xiao'e.

"This is the first year of my marriage. I definitely have to buy something for my father-in-law. The old couple can't give away ordinary things. It's my first time to celebrate the New Year with my uncle and aunt. I can't treat them badly, and my master must also be filial. Flowers

My sister’s uncle is back for the first year, and he will have to celebrate the New Year there this year. He may have to ask for help in the future, so he will definitely have to give something valuable."

Yi Chuanzong raised his eyes and looked at the wooden box in the portable space, with a piece of grass inside.

But this grass is very expensive.

It is a perennial herbaceous plant wild ginseng.

The ginseng received from the system is naturally of excellent quality, with a beautiful body and five shapes. The "wild aura" body is strong and strong, with exquisite texture, long beards that are winding around dragons and snakes, prominent pearl points, and long reed heads, which are divided into two parts.

Three sections.
