Rebirth in 1980: I pretend to be a pig, eat the tiger and marry the chief

Tang Zheng said: "You don't have to look for me, I will come to you when I have the chance."

The woman's face turned pale and she almost fell over.

Tang Zheng said quickly: "Don't get me wrong, I'm not here to ask you for money. Maybe if I need your help in the future, you don't have to pay back the money."

The woman was relieved after hearing this. If her man found out that she owed someone else three hundred yuan, she would be beaten to death.

"The front is my home. You wait for me to send the children and luggage home, and then I will take you to find Wang Laoliu."

"Okay, you go."

Tang Zheng and He Yang were standing on the roadside, looking at the scenery of the countryside.

It snowed here a few days ago, and the mountains and fields are covered in snow. The small village in the 1980s, with its stone houses and fences, has a unique artistic conception.

After a while, the woman ran over: "My name is Dajuan. You can just call me Juanzi from now on. Wang Laoliu's family is in the mountains, and we have to walk for a while."

Dajuan pointed in a direction, which was deep in the ravine.

Tang Zheng walked slower and slower. She was not tired, but her feet hurt.

He Yang couldn't bear to see this: "Sister, how about I carry you on my back?"

Tang Zheng took a few deep breaths and asked Dajuan: "Sister Juanzi, how far is it?"

Dajuan said: "Come on, have you seen that small house? His home is there."

Seeing that there was still some distance left, Tang Zheng stopped and sat on a rock for a while to relax.

Dajuan asked curiously: "Sister, why did you come so far to find Wang Laoliu?"

Tang Zheng said: "Buy saplings."

Dajuan was surprised: "I didn't expect anyone to buy saplings. People in our village thought that Wang Laoliu's saplings couldn't be sold."

Tang Zheng and He Yang looked at each other. It seemed that Wang Laoliu's saplings should be very cheap.

"Sister Juanzi, do you know where I can buy apple saplings?"

Juanzi shook his head: "I don't know."

Several people finally arrived at Wang Laoliu's house. At this time, Wang Laoliu's house was in a state of uproar.

In the yard, Wang Laoliu was chased and beaten by his wife, and he limped ahead. The three- to five-year-old child, dressed like a ball, stood in the middle of the yard crying hard.

The tethered little local dog barked, Wang Laoliu's screams, and his wife's beatings and scoldings were like a lively symphony.

"You idiot, what a wonderful land. You don't grow food, but insist on planting saplings. Now there is not even a pound of food in the house. The child is crying because of hunger. I will beat you to death today, and then both of us will starve to death together." Let’s go underground and keep you company!”

Wang Laoliu in front ran out of breath: "Daughter-in-law, stop fighting, the saplings will definitely be sold..."

Tang Zheng and He Yang stood at the door, stunned.

Juanzi was no longer surprised. She cleared her throat: "Lao Liu, someone from Lao Liu's family is here to buy saplings!"

As soon as she said this, the courtyard instantly became quiet.

Wang Laoliu's wife stood there in astonishment like a piece of wood, and all the broomsticks in her hands fell to the ground.

It took a while for Wang Laoliu's wife to react. She rushed to Dajuan in three steps and grabbed her hand: "Dajuan, who wants to buy saplings? Please tell me quickly!"

Dajuan pursed her lips towards Tang Zheng and He Yang.

Wang Laoliu's daughter-in-law looked at the two of them and saw that they were too young. Her originally excited expression suddenly dropped.

"How many do you want to buy?"

Tang Zheng smiled and said: "As many as you want."

Wang Laoliu's wife rolled her eyes: "You are young, what nonsense are you talking about? Do you have that much money?"

Seeing her attitude, He Yang was immediately unhappy: "You speak so nicely, why do you still look down on others!"

Tang Zheng was not angry and said with a smile: "It depends on what price you sell it for. If you sell it for a sky-high price, then I definitely can't afford it."

Seeing that Tang Zheng's words were quite confident, Wang Laoliu's wife immediately gave up her doubts: "Then you guys come in and sit down, come in and sit down!"

In the small, dark room, several people were warming themselves around the stove. There were two sweet potatoes and a few earthy peanuts on the stove.

"What are you looking at? You haven't poured water yet!"

Wang Laoliu's wife spoke to Wang Laoliu angrily, and Wang Laoliu couldn't help but tremble and immediately poured the water.

Tang Zheng held the enamel teapot and drank two mouthfuls of water, finally feeling that he had recovered.

"How many saplings do you have?" Tang Zheng asked.

Wang Laoliu's wife glared at Wang Laoliu: "Speak!"

Wang Laoliu said cautiously: "Five...five thousand..."

Tang Zheng said: "Let's go see the saplings first."

"Okay, okay!" Wang Laoliu's wife agreed happily, followed Wang Laoliu with her child in her arms, and took the two of them to the field to see the saplings.

After looking at the saplings in a few fields, Tang Zheng and He Yang were quite satisfied.

The saplings raised by Wang Laoliu are very good. Although they are only one-year-old saplings, they are growing well and have straight trunks. They should be easy to maintain.

After returning to the hut, Tang Zheng took another sip of water: "If we all want them all, how much would you pay for them?"

Wang Laoliu's eyes widened after hearing this: "All of them?"

Wang Laoliu's wife kicked Wang Laoliu in the butt: "They asked you how much you would sell it for!"

Dajuan couldn't help but feel envious when she saw Wang Laoliu's daughter-in-law being so aggressive. It was not like her, a man who would punch and kick a woman like her when she got angry.

Wang Laoliu glanced at his wife and said cautiously: "Two yuan a piece."

Tang Zheng frowned, but before he could say anything, Wang Laoliu's wife immediately said: "I make the decision, one yuan a head!"

It would be good if she could sell them for one yuan. This year she planned to plant the land. If the hawthorn saplings could not be sold, the land would not be planted.

Wang Laoliu and his wife planned to dig out the saplings and burn them as firewood.

Tang Zheng didn't bargain: "Okay, that's it. Let's sign a contract and I'll pay you a deposit. Then you can't sell it to anyone else."

In fact, Tang Zheng could still negotiate the price with their family, and it was estimated that he could get it for 50 cents a piece.

But people can't do things too hard. Soon, the price of saplings will double. If Wang Laoliu and his family really sold the saplings for 50 cents, they would definitely have shadows in their hearts over the years, such as regret, depression, and anger. That Tang Zheng is too unreasonable.

Wang Laoliu's wife's eyes widened when she heard this, and her mouth was about to break into two parts: "You really want it!"

Tang Zheng nodded and looked at He Yang. He Yang opened his notebook and added the quantity of saplings, price, deposit and other information to the previously drawn up contract.

"The contract is in duplicate. You sign and fingerprint here. We will give you a deposit of two thousand yuan. Do you think it's OK?"

Before Wang Laoliu could say anything, his wife happily agreed: "Okay, okay!"

So, Wang Laoliu and his wife signed their names and pressed their fingerprints, and He Yang gave them two thousand yuan.

Tang Zheng said: "After the ground has completely thawed in a while, we will come to pull the saplings. Don't worry, we won't delay your planting."

Wang Laoliu's wife counted the money for a moment: "Five thousand saplings, even the two of us can't dig them all..."
