Chapter 30

Lu Yang's phone call was intended to relieve his homesickness and relieve his wife Yin Mingyue's worries.

There is nothing much to say to the rest of the random people.

Mother-in-law: ?????

So, she came with great enthusiasm but ended up disappointed. Ma Xiulan, the master's wife, waited for a long time with dry eyes, but when she got there, her youngest daughter, who had been very well-behaved since childhood, had already hung up the phone.

You can imagine how depressed I was.

Next came Lu Yang's eldest cousin's sister-in-law, his aunt, and several cousins, filling up the village committee room.

Even his second grandfather, Da Jun's sister Lu Nini, could only wait outside for the time being.

But this call was also very short.

The shortest one was less than two minutes, which made the cousins ​​who wanted to hear some sounds from afar end up disappointed.

Like Lu Yang, my cousin did not consider other people when he made the call. He might have included my aunt, but because of the good news from his wife, he was so happy that he did not care and left the last half minute to his wife.

What, why not play for a few more minutes?

Nonsence.

Please, long-distance calls were very expensive during that period. The registration fee was one dollar, and the long-distance call fee was two dollars per minute. Just for the two and a half minutes just now, the total cost was more than five dollars. You just had a few good meals, and you forgot that you could only drink porridge every day when you were at home, right?
Compared to making a phone call.

In this era, it is still more cost-effective to write letters. After all, a letter can fill up a whole piece of paper, and the envelope only costs 10 cents and the stamp costs 50 cents, which adds up to less than 60 cents.

After my cousin hung up the phone.

He turned around and hugged Lu Yang and jumped up and down: "I'm going to be a father, Lao Si, I'm going to be a father. Did you know that your sister-in-law is pregnant? It's been two months."

Lu Yang was also happy for his eldest cousin.

And he thought to himself: Fortunately it has been two months, fortunately we have been out for less than ten days. Oh, what was I thinking about? I am sorry for you, sister-in-law.

He patted his cousin on the back to calm him down.

Lu Yang said, "Since you know you're going to be a father, you should work harder to make money. Also, I know you're frugal, but when you get on the train, you should write another letter and send some money back so that your sister-in-law can help you. Don't be frugal."

"By the way, try not to work in the fields anymore."

After hearing what Lu Yang said, the eldest cousin was immediately anxious and slapped his forehead: "Yes, how could I forget, luckily you reminded me, no, I have to make another call and tell your sister-in-law to move back to her parents' home in the next few days. Otherwise, if she stays at home, eats porridge all day, and has to work in the fields, she will not be able to take care of the baby at all."

After saying that, he went forward to grab the phone again.

Unfortunately, the phone was no longer in Dajun's hand. After Dajun hung up the phone, another stranger passenger took his seat. If he wanted to call home again, he had to queue up again.

But it was too late. The train from Shanghai to Feicheng had already arrived at the station and would depart soon.

Lu Yang pulled him and comforted him, "It's okay, there's no point in being anxious now, just get in the car first, and when we get to Feicheng, we can call back."

Only then did my cousin calm down.

Lu Yang looked at Da Jun again and said, "How about you? Is Second Grandpa okay? Did Sister Nini go to school? Oh, and what about those scared cowards? They shouldn't dare to come to your house to cause trouble again, right?"

Da Jun grinned and said, "My grandpa is fine. He told me to listen to you more. My little sister hasn't started school yet, but in the next few days, grandpa said he would personally send her to the county middle school to register. Hehe, as for those cowards, how dare they come to our house to cause trouble? I will have to deal with them when I get back."

After saying that, he patted his chest.

See him so cocky.

Lu Yang thought to himself: You just keep bragging, but if your old man wasn’t a guy who really dares to shoot, with a murderous aura from the battlefield, do you think others would be scared?

But he was very curious, since these street urchins failed to fool the army, would they continue to look for other people in the village?
Or have they given up? "No, there's no way they'd give up. But who do you think they ended up looking for?"

The army winked at Lu Yang.

"Who?"

"Ma Laosan, the famous scoundrel in the village, I really didn't expect these guys to go to him. This doesn't seem like a legitimate business at all. I think you were right at the beginning. Even if I didn't make this long trip, I shouldn't have paid any attention to them. What's the point of cooperating with them to plant tea trees and open a tea factory?"

Da Jun actually doesn't have any feelings for these childhood playmates.

When he was less than twelve years old, his father died. He then moved out of the coal miners' family quarters in the town and returned to the village to live with his grandfather. Later, he went to an ordinary school like other children in the village, instead of going to the town's school like the children of coal miners. It can be said that he no longer had any contact with this group of childhood playmates.

I just came back from military service.

The other party came to the door, but I just wanted to receive him because of the childhood memories and the face left by my parents. I didn't expect that I would almost be cheated by the other party.

Lu Yang patted Da Jun on the shoulder and said, "Okay, you are quite smart. Wait and see, the best is yet to come."

The unfathomable look on his face made Da Jun couldn't help but raise his head.

I wanted to ask more carefully, but unfortunately Lu Yang had already walked away.

For the next three months, Lu Yang, his eldest cousin, and Da Jun were busy traveling between Feicheng and Shencheng.

Most of the time was spent on catching the train.

With a round trip of about three days, a battle that lasted more than a hundred days was completed.

Finally, half a month before New Year's Day, Lu Yang exceeded the first stage goal he had set for himself.

Earn ten thousand from it.

Because he was not clear about the high efficiency of compound interest and money making money, and in line with the principle of not putting all eggs in one basket, Lu Yang gradually stopped exchanging all the purchased treasury bonds for cash, and instead selectively deposited a lot of them in the exchange's account.

In the eyes of the two cousins, Lu Yang could probably make a net profit of 2000 to 3000 yuan on this trip, and they had also received dividends ranging from to yuan in the past three months. Together with the salary promised by Lu Yang, it was enough for them to return home in glory.

In fact, Lu Yang already had 9 yuan in cash, and according to the stub from the stock exchange, there were more than 17 yuan in treasury bonds in his account.

In other words, Lu Yang earned more than he had imagined on this trip, a full 25 yuan, close to 26 yuan, which was already a huge sum of money in that era.

However, Lu Yang is not planning to use the money yet.

The news that treasury bonds can make money has spread across the country over time, and the listing prices of treasury bond exchanges across the country are becoming more and more synchronized.

There is no point in continuing to travel between Feicheng and Shencheng.

I can still make money, but not much.

Lu Yang knew when to quit and had no intention of continuing to waste time.

And he missed his new wife too.

However, closing this business does not mean that the price of treasury bonds will fall. In fact, treasury bonds will always have investment value. It is better to put the money in the stock exchange than in the bank. When you come back next year to carry out the second phase of the plan, these 26Ws will definitely become 27, 28, or even more than 30Ws. It is not impossible.

"Eat, and then we'll go home."

A noodle shop.

Lu Yang raised his head seriously and spoke to his two cousins.
