Rebirth 1994: Starting from laid-off workers

Chapter 69: Not Simple Football

The car turned a corner and rushed outside the community.

Ye Xiumei suddenly realized that this was not the way back to the dormitory and said hurriedly.

"Brother Guo, it's too far this way!"

Guo Yonggang smiled and said, "Your brother is right in front!"

Just now Zhang Jiaqiang asked him to follow Ye Xiucheng, and now he took the two of them to see him.

"My brother, why are you wandering around so late at night?"

Zhang Jiaqiang gently patted the back of his wife's hand, "You'll know after you see it!"

After only a few dozen meters, the van began to slow down. The roadside was brightly lit, and a large group of people were shouting and cheering.

This is a street billiards stall with three billiards tables on the curb.

But those who clamored not for the billiards, but for a television set on the pool table.

At this moment, a football match is being played on the TV, and the sweating on the green field echoes with the shouting and screaming from everywhere.

At this time, they discovered Ye Xiucheng among a group of people.

"Hey, we're here to watch the game. Let's go home early. The little girl can't even open her eyes!" Ye Xiumei said, patting Zhou Xiaomeng's back gently.

Zhang Jiaqiang knew very well that these people gathered here not to watch the game, they were gambling!
This year's No. 15 World Cup is being held in the United States, and it is now the group stage.

What these people were watching was the replay of yesterday's game, and the real live broadcast would start after the early morning.

Zhang Jiaqiang had heard in the past that there were many private individuals in the market who used the opening quotations of World Cup matches to lure some cheap citizens to come and place bets.

On the surface, this kind of gambling is the fairest, but in fact, the person who opens the handicap has already calculated the odds clearly, and the bookmaker is sure to make a profit without losing any money. The only people who are cheating are honest people who think they understand the game.

Now it seems that Ye Xiucheng has been deeply involved in it, and he must have lost a lot in the past.

He has no fixed income now. After losing several times in a row, he will definitely be eager to make a comeback, so he will sink deeper and deeper, and in the end he will even lose his parents' capital.

If it were anyone else, Zhang Jiaqiang would never care.

But Ye Xiucheng was involved with two old men, and the two old men were involved with Ye Xiumei. He had to take care of this matter.

But now I am afraid that even Jiutou Niu can't win Ye Xiucheng back, let alone let his wife know the truth, so he can only do some work behind the scenes.

Zhang Jiaqiang said calmly, "Lao Guo, you really don't care about watching football. When I make money, I will give you a car with a TV so that you can watch enough and walk home!"

The van turned around and started moving slowly, soon leaving the pool table behind.

The road was very deserted at night, and vehicles drove into the dormitory courtyard at lightning speed.

Zhang Jiaqiang asked Ye Xiumei to take the child up first.

Wait for her to walk away and say to Guo Yonggang.

"Brother Guo took the trouble to arrange for someone to keep an eye on my brother-in-law. If something serious happens, you can call me directly!"

Guo Yonggang knew that Zhang Jiaqiang was generous and would never begrudge overtime pay, "Okay, don't worry!"

Zhang Jiaqiang nodded and said, "Besides, go back and have a good rest tonight. Pack your luggage tomorrow morning and let's go to Qindao to deliver goods!"

In order to expand business this time, Zhang Jiaqiang decided to go there in person.

The matter of attracting goods tomorrow can be left to Gao Shou. Just in case, Li Hu will be his bodyguard temporarily.

Guo Yonggang had long been frustrated in the city, and finally had the opportunity to go on a long-distance trip. He shouted excitedly, "I'll go back and pack up the car right now."

In the future, with more and more business, one car will definitely not be enough. After returning from Qindao this time, I can consider buying a car with the money I spent on goods!

It's just that drivers are a scarce job now, and Ye Xiucheng's appearance appears in Zhang Jiaqiang's mind again.

"Toothpaste, toothbrush, towel, soap, slippers, and a long-sleeved jacket are placed at the bottom of your bag!" In the early morning, Ye Xiumei got up early to help Zhang Jiaqiang pack his luggage.

Zhang Jiaqiang looked at her worried and nagging look and smiled helplessly.

"Why do you want me to carry long sleeves on a hot day? It's a six hundred to seven hundred kilometers round trip. If everything goes well, I'll be back in the evening. Carrying too many things will be a burden!"

Ye Xiumei pursed her lips and shook her head, "It's windy at the beach, so be prepared. There's Fengyoujing and Huoxiang Zhengqi Water in your bag. Be careful with your health. Don't eat anything raw or cold. I'll wait for you to go home. Furazole is at the outside." .”

My wife is good at everything, but she always takes care of the little things.

Zhang Jiaqiang was so nagging that he hurriedly gave Ye Xiumei a long and passionate kiss, and then blocked her mouth.

"Godfather, godmother, what are you eating?" Zhou Xiaomeng emerged from nowhere.

If you were entangled, you would have to spend a lot of time. Just as the car horn sounded downstairs, Zhang Jiaqiang picked up his bag and ran downstairs quickly.

From Luonan to Qindao, the first expressway in the province, the Luo-Qin Expressway, is being built.

It is said that the total cost of this highway is 37 billion and the total length is 370 kilometers.

Someone has calculated that if this highway was paved with hundred-dollar bills, the amount used would be exactly 37 billion. It can be said that this road is paved with banknotes.

Unfortunately, the expressway has not yet been completed, so Zhang Jiaqiang and the others can only take the old national highway that climbs mountains and ridges, and the distance is hundreds of kilometers further.

One hundred thousand lighters were piled into the carriage one after another, and with the addition of two large living people, the car was so overwhelmed that it could not move quickly, so it could only move slowly toward the southeast.

Zhang Jiaqiang occasionally looked back at the cartons. Fortunately, they were explosion-proof lighters, otherwise he wouldn't have been brave enough to sit in the passenger seat.

Under the scorching sun, the car was extremely hot, and even with the windows open, hot air blew in.

This car can only run in the urban area at most. It is really painful to go out of the city. In the future, it will not be able to pick up the speed on the expressway.

This made Zhang Jiaqiang more determined to buy a new car.

After a long journey, it was already past three in the afternoon when I saw the sign for Qindao City.

Because the speed of the car was too slow, the two of them did not dare to get out of the car to eat at noon. Instead, they made do with a meal of bread and water while rushing in the car.

Now that they were finally close to their destination, the two people, who had run out of food and water, could no longer hold on. They found a small roadside restaurant and parked the car at the door.

Guo Yong ran to the hotel as soon as he opened the car door, "Ice, no matter what, two bottles first!"

Zhang Jiaqiang also looked like he was fished out of the water. He jumped out of the car and breathed in the hot air. He first paged the salesman Xiao Qin and asked him to meet here.

Then I walked into the store, stood under the fan, and started blowing hard.

"What does the boss have to eat?" Guo Yonggang drank a large bottle of ice-cold soda and asked burping.

"It's a small shop. The staple food is noodles and dumplings. The dishes include pig's trotters with local special sauce. You can also take a photo of cucumbers."

Zhang Jiaqiang gasped and said, "Have some of each, according to the amount for three people, and then some iced soda, one box first!"

We can't see customers in this situation now, we can only talk about it after things return to normal.

Soon the table was filled with things, and Zhang Jiaqiang and the two finally cooled down.

"Brother Qiang, you are here in person!"

A young man dressed very smartly walked into the store. This man was also a laid-off employee from the same batch and was now in charge of Qindao area business. Qin Zongbao.

Zhang Jiaqiang waved to him, "Eat something first, wait until it cools down outside, and then go deliver the goods!"

Qin Zongbao still hasn't touched his teeth yet, but he doesn't want to eat it at all. He smiled bitterly and sat across from him and said.

"How much goods did Brother Qiang bring?"
