"Master, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, but it's you, I was too impulsive just now, no matter how wrong he is, it's also your own brother, how can you be so impulsive?"

Niu Xiaoqiang pursed his lips disdainfully: "If he wasn't my own brother, I would have beaten him a long time ago." ”

Fang Dongping shook his head: "Aren't you afraid that your father will teach you a hard lesson after he finds out?"

Niu Xiaoqiang first showed a look of fear, and then straightened his waist: "As long as I behave well in the future, my father will definitely like me more, and I am not afraid of this white-eyed wolf." ”

"Aren't you there yet, so you'd better not provoke your brother, for to tell the truth, you can't compete with him now. ”

Niu Xiaoqiang couldn't refute this, so he had to nod: "This is reasonable, I will pay attention in the future, if I don't achieve results beyond him, I won't argue with him." ”

The relationship between brothers is like this, which is quite helpless to say, but Fang Dongping, who is familiar with the inside story, knows that he can't complain about Niu Xiaoqiang at all, and blames Niu Xiaogang for being too bad, so bad that even his own brother is extremely disgusted with him.

After all, this is Niu Xiaoqiang's housework, Fang Dongping is not too deeply involved, he waved his hand: "Xiaoqiang, go back quickly, let your parents be happy." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang nodded, carrying his bag and just about to turn around, Fang Dongping took out three big unity cards from his pocket as if he remembered something and handed them over: "I almost forgot to hand over my salary to you, you can take these three tickets, you can buy some snacks for a few extra yuan, don't always worry about helping the family share their worries, but also take care of yourself." ”

Of course, Niu Xiaoqiang really wanted to pocket the thirty yuan, but his cheeks were not thick enough to Niu Xiaogang, so he excused himself and said, "Master, you spent more than 200 yuan to wipe my ass this time, how can I still ask for wages? ”

Fang Dongping directly stuffed the money into Niu Xiaoqiang's pocket: "One yard is one yard, it can't be mixed up, since you have promised to provide for the master's pension, shouldn't the master help you solve the trouble?"

This is also reasonable, Niu Xiaoqiang no longer shirked: "Since this is the case, I will accept the salary, and when I make a lot of money, I will definitely smoke and drink to honor the master." ”

Fang Dongping laughed, and the unhappiness in his heart dissipated a lot: "Okay, okay, Master knows who you are, you don't always have to show loyalty to me." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang grinned: "Then I'll go back." ”

"Well, go ahead, go ahead. ”

When Niu Xiaoqiang left, Fang Dongping couldn't help but smile and said: "It's good to have such a sensible grandson, this kid just likes people, unlike his brother, it's not a thing at all, it's all weird, he has been spoiled by Xiaogang since he was a child, and now that he is an adult, it is difficult to change his temperament." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang's money increased from forty-six yuan to seventy-six yuan, and when he saw that the sun had not yet set, he turned around halfway and prepared to go to the vegetable market to buy some good vegetables to take home and help his family improve their lives.

Normally the market is very lively at this time, but today the situation is a bit unusual. After Niu Xiaoqiang walked into the vegetable market, he didn't even see a single hair, and there were neither vendors selling things nor customers buying things. The whole vegetable market is empty, and the silence reveals a strangeness.

"What's going on?" Niu Xiaoqiang turned his head to look around, his face full of incomprehension.

Turning his head, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a white note pasted on the door of the store next to him, Niu Xiaoqiang walked to him curiously and took a closer look, and found that this was a seal, which was stamped with a bright red official seal, on which was written the slogan "Crack down on speculation".

"No, now that it has been more than two years since the reform and opening up, how can there still be such a crime as speculation? People are just selling vegetables, and they have a fart relationship with speculation?"

In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, some people in the country hoarded and raised market prices, which made the people's life not very easy. In the end, these people were punished by the relevant departments for the crime of "speculation". If you really want to say it, this disposition of the state is completely correct, and there is no problem.

But now it's different, according to Niu Xiaoqiang's memory, the store in front of him specializes in selling soy products such as tofu, dried seeds, and thousands of zhangs, and occasionally sells some cold noodles or something. These things are sold in complete accordance with the laws of the market, and have nothing to do with hoarding, so naturally there is no talk of price gouging and speculation.

Niu Xiaoqiang turned his head to look at the store next door with full of doubts, and found that the next door had also been seized, and the same slogan was written on the seal, which made him even more puzzled.

Next, Niu Xiaoqiang walked through this not too long street and found that most of the shops had been seized, including Gao Desheng's fish shop, and only two stores were spared. The two shops that survived didn't look anything special, and it is unknown how they survived.

In order to figure out this problem, Niu Xiaoqiang walked quickly to the corner of the street and asked an old lady sitting at the corner of the street enjoying the shade: "Hello grandma, there is something I want to ask you about." ”

The old lady turned her head to look and found that Niu Xiaoqiang was carrying a cloth bag, with a dusty look on his face, and couldn't help but smile slightly: "You just came back from outside, right?"

Niu Xiaoqiang nodded: "Well, I went out to visit relatives these days, and I only came back by boat this afternoon, and I originally wanted to buy some vegetables to take home, but after walking into the vegetable market, I found that there was no one inside, and many shops were sealed, I don't know what is going on?"

The old lady sighed while shaking the banana fan in her hand: "I heard that the store was closed in order to rectify the market discipline, but they have rectified it, and we ordinary people can't even buy vegetables, and we don't know what to toss around all day long." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang then asked: "I saw that there are two stores that have not been seized, since the market discipline is rectified, why should they be treated differently?"

"It's also very simple to say, as long as the stores that have been seized, they are all purchased from private channels, and those that have not been seized are all purchased from public channels. ”

Niu Xiaoqiang has read a lot of extracurricular books, and he still has some understanding of the market economy.

This is not the first time something like this has happened, even after more than two years of reform and opening up, the debate about the east wind and the west wind has not stopped. Either the east wind overpowers the west wind, or the west wind overpowers the east wind. Whichever wind prevails, it's the business people who are at the forefront of the market who are unlucky.
