It was my father Zhou Changchun who was cooking. It seemed that he had finished his work at the construction site.

The noise outside attracted Zhou Changchun to come out of the house. He looked at Zhou Qi, rubbing his hands on his apron, looking a little nervous, and said in a low voice: "Xiao Qi, you're back. The meal is ready. Go wash your hands and come to eat!" Zhou Changchun rubbed his hands on his apron.

Zhou Qi watched his father rubbing his apron with his hands. His eyes turned red and he choked up and called out, "Dad!"

These two ordinary words made Zhou Changchun's heart tremble suddenly, and his eyes became moist. He responded, "Hey, let's go and have dinner." He wiped his eyes and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The day started so warmly.

Zhou Qi enjoyed this meal very much. He had been missing his father since his father passed away in his previous life. Now he was eating the dishes cooked by his father. He had to say that his father's cooking skills were really good.

"Burp!" Zhou Qi was full and burped with satisfaction.

But before this feeling of satisfaction faded, there was a hurried knock on the door. Zhou Changchun's face tensed, fearing that someone was looking for trouble. He put down his chopsticks and looked at Zhou Qi worriedly.

Zhou Qi comforted him, "It's okay, just eat your food, I'll go take a look."

Before Zhou Qi could ask, Cao Qinquan's anxious voice came from outside the door: "Brother Qi, are you there? Brother Qi!"

When Zhou Qi heard that it was Cao Qinquan, he quickly opened the door. Before he could say anything, he saw the tractor outside the door, which was full of cotton and cloth.

Zhou Qi's eyes lit up, and he patted Cao Qinquan on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Great job, Dabao, you got a truck so quickly, you're really efficient."

Cao Qinquan scratched his head and smiled innocently, "I heard you say that Big Brother was in a hurry to get it. I was afraid I would not be able to make it in time, so I discussed it with my dad after dinner. He agreed immediately, and we brought a truck over."

"Dabao, I'm confident in the quality of your cargo because of your trust in me." Zhou Qi said with a smile, his eyes falling on the car again, "I didn't expect that you received so much."

Cao Qinquan quickly waved his hands and explained: "Brother Qi, these are not hoarded by my family. They are carefully selected and bought from fellow villagers. The quality is absolutely excellent, and they are not discounted products."

Zhou Qi was stunned. This huge truck of goods in front of him must be worth at least several thousand dollars. In this era, several thousand dollars is not a small amount for an ordinary family.

And Cao Qinquan, just because of a word from me, left his job without a second thought and went to take care of this matter, and invested several thousand dollars without blinking an eye. What a great trust this must have!

"What price do you charge for this whole truck?" Zhou Qi asked curiously.

Cao Qinquan did not hide anything. No matter how much he earned, Zhou Qi had already promised him that he would pay him 30 cents per pound for the cotton.

"The cotton will be purchased according to the textile factory's purchase standard. If the cloth is one cent per pound, the cloth of similar quality will be purchased one cent cheaper than the price you give me. The inferior ones will be purchased two cents cheaper."

Zhou Qi nodded, agreeing with this approach. If you collect both good and bad goods, you will end up with inferior goods. I didn't expect Cao Qinquan to look silly, but he actually has a smart mind.

After a moment's silence, he asked again: "How much did this cart cost you in total?"

"More than two thousand eight hundred..." Cao Qinquan replied.

"How much more can you collect?" Zhou Qi asked.

"For my family, that's probably all..." Cao Qinquan said, "That's all we can give out."

Yes, Cao Qinquan's father was an honest man, unlike Zhang Gongzheng's father, who made a lot of money easily. How could the family save so much money? Six or seven thousand was already very difficult.

But here comes the problem!

This is not enough!

It seems that there is no cost here, but don't forget that he promised Zhang Wenhui a fee of two thousand for a car.

To put it bluntly, this amount of stuff is not even enough to cover the gas money for his entire trip.

Cao Qinquan seemed to see through his thoughts: "Brother Qi, do you think the amount is a little small? In fact, my father has already mobilized the villagers. I also said that I don’t have money to pay for the time being. I have to wait until the transaction is completed before I can pay.

The villagers listened, some were happy, some were not, but most were willing. My father thought this was a good opportunity to help everyone solve the problem of unsaleable cotton, and he was busy starting it. As long as you nod, I promise to bring five or six more trucks..."

Oh my goodness!

He was just thinking about asking Cao Qinquan to go home and persuade his father to do him a favor.

Unexpectedly, not only did I sell this favor, but I made a fortune from it!

That’s so awesome!

"Brother, don't say anything!" Zhou Qi put his hand on Cao Qinquan's shoulder and said proudly: "In this business, as long as you have my soup to drink, I will never let you be thirsty..."

"Come on, get started, move all these guys into the house first..."

Cao Qinquan rolled up his sleeves and started working without saying a word, without asking any questions about what to do with the batch of cotton cloth.

This brother is really nice!

All the goods were brought into Zhou Qi’s little nest.

The room, which was not spacious to begin with, was filled with a cart of cotton and cloth, leaving almost no space to turn around.

Looking at the sweaty Cao Qinquan, Zhou Qi asked, "Qinquan, have you eaten?"

"Not yet!" Cao Qinquan shook his head.

"Dad, bring some more bowls and chopsticks!" Zhou Qi pulled Cao Qinquan over and said seriously, "Brother, people are made of iron and food is the most important thing. If you don't eat, you will be hungry. You need to make money and you can't miss food. Your health is the capital of revolution."

"Brother Qi, I really don't want to eat anymore!" Cao Qinquan was a little embarrassed by Zhou Qi's enthusiasm. He scratched his head and said, "I borrowed this tractor. I have to return it to the owner as soon as possible."

"Hey, it doesn't matter if we wait a little longer!" Zhou Qi refused to let go and said with a smile, "It's just a home-cooked dish. We just started eating it. Don't be polite with me!"

"Dad, hurry up!"

Zhou Changchun was looking at the room full of cotton and cloth, still a little dazed. When he heard Zhou Qi's words, he hurriedly brought the dishes and chopsticks.

"Uncle!" Cao Qinquan called out innocently.

He was not good at talking, so he didn't say anything more.

Zhou Qi asked me to eat, so I ate.

So he started eating with big mouthfuls, he was really hungry.

Zhou Qi accompanied him and the more he looked at Cao Qinquan, the more he liked him.

That kind of people!

Real, sincere, efficient and capable of getting things done.

really not bad!

Cao Qinquan ate very quickly, finishing the battle in a few bites. He wiped the rice from his mouth and said, "Brother Qi, I have to go back quickly. My dad is still waiting for news from me!"

Seeing that he was really anxious, Zhou Qi did not force him to stay: "Drive slowly on the road..."

After seeing Cao Qinquan off, Zhou Qi returned to the house happily.

"What's going on with you?" Zhou Changchun asked curiously. He had a lot of questions in his mind for a long time.

Because Cao Qinquan was present before, Zhou Changchun didn't ask.

Zhou Qi didn't intend to hide it, and said frankly: "I have been tinkering with the cotton fabric business, and these are the first batch I just collected. If everything goes well, once this business is completed, our family's debts will be cleared in one swoop!"
