Rebirth begins with the waste wood returning home

Chapter 138
The Shouhou family has a very nice surname: Huo. This surname was often seen in movies and TV series by Jiang Defu in his previous life, but it is not very common in reality.

When Jiang Defu and Shouhou entered the yard, Huo, the former boss, was plowing the land in the yard. Although it was winter, sweat was pouring from his head because of hard work.

"Um, Mr. Jiang is here?"

Father Huo saw Jiang Defu coming and greeted him warmly.

"Dad, I told you not to let you work, why did you start working again?"

The thin monkey complained, took the hoe from Father Huo's hand, and threw it aside angrily.

"I was lying on the bed and had nothing to do, so I just wanted to plow the ground in the yard and plant some vegetables when the weather gets warm..."

Father Huo explained.

After working for a while, he was panting and his body was really weak.

Although Huo's father, Huo Jingting, could not compare with some big business owners in Qingcheng in his early years, he managed to make a lot of money as a comprador because he knew how to speak some simple English.

But now the entire net worth has been basically consumed, leaving only the father and son. Huo Jingting became seriously ill and almost died.

However, he was a far-sighted person. He gave up his entire fortune, had his status downgraded, and then moved his son to this small rural courtyard.

"The doctor has told you to rest and not work. When will you feel better?"

Shouhou said to his father impatiently.

"It's okay, Monkey. The doctor said last time that strenuous activities and heavy work are not allowed, but you can do moderate activities. Uncle Huo, you have to be more careful. Don't think about what you have to do and go to the hospital when you are tired. Monkey now only You are the only family member left, so don’t cause any more problems!”

Jiang Defu smoothed things over.

Father Huo nodded hurriedly.

The Slender Monkey is actually very filial, but it's a bit of a big shock that the family's originally generous environment has suddenly changed to what it is now.

And you can imagine the sadness he suffered while working on the black market at a young age.

People tend to get angry easily in difficult circumstances, and find it difficult to calm down and speak properly. Many times, words of genuine concern often turn out to be harsh complaints.

This was also the case in Jiang Defu's previous life when he was still young. Each of his parents had their own family, and only his grandfather was sincere to him.

He wanted to be filial to his grandfather, but he was still in school at that time and was powerless. His grandfather was born in a poor family and his parents were poor. They wanted to make money and leave a family fortune for him when he was older. He hated and loved him at the same time. Even if he cared about him very much, , often turned into complaints and reprimands.

The current situation of Shouhou and Father Huo is somewhat similar to that of him back then, so he can't help but feel the same way.

"Mr. Jiang, I know. Monkey, don't worry. I know what's going on. I'm just going to do a few simple exercises. The doctor also said that my body will be almost healed after I rest until the end of the year, and I'll be able to move normally by then."

Father Huo explained.

Because of his comprador relationship, Mr. Huo was imprisoned and had free meals for a period of time. His health was damaged and he became seriously ill.

The only remaining savings of the family were also filled in. When Jiang Defu first met Shouhou, the father and son basically ate one meal without finishing.

Jiang Defu and Shouhou met by chance.

He had been shopping on the black market before, and after buying a good book, this guy followed him and told him that it was too expensive.

Jiang Defu thought he had something good in his hand and asked him to take it out and take a look.

The boy said he had nothing in his hand.

"Why do you have so much to say to me when you don't have anything to say?"

Jiang Defu was speechless.

"Can I help you negotiate the price? Brother, my dad used to collect a lot of these things. I am very experienced. I can help you negotiate the price and save you money. I don't make the middle price, so just give me some of your hard-earned money!" "

Shouhou said directly.

Although Jiang Defu wanted to take advantage of it, he also knew that his research in this field was far different from that of people doing this in this era!It’s not that he’s worried about buying something fake!

Even if you buy fake items from this era, they will still have collection value in the future and you won’t lose money.

But he really needs someone to help with the price.

He took this kid shopping with him and really saved a lot of money.

Shouhou is smart and Jiang Defu is not a stingy person. The two of them work well together and their relationship becomes closer.

Skinny Monkey was very diligent. On their way back, they bought some grain and some vegetables. Skinny Monkey went to the kitchen to cook, while Father Huo helped Changyan buy the things they bought today.

"The items sold by the An family should be fine. It's just Yuan Datou and some silver jewelry. They probably don't regard them as real good things. I guess there are too many things in the house and it's difficult to store them, so they have disposed of some of them. Mr. Jiang, I... I have A suggestion…”

Father Huo said suddenly.

"Uncle, you're welcome. If you have any suggestions, please tell me..."

"It's just some of my thoughts, it may not be correct. Mr. Jiang, you should have more information than me on the team. But based on my humble opinion, although this gold and silver is indeed precious, the purchase price is indeed more appropriate at this time. , but I think the most valuable things in the future should not be these things, but other things..."

Huo Jingting hesitated for a moment and said.

"What does uncle think is the most valuable?"

Huo Jingting should have his own vision as a businessman, but Jiang Defu really wanted to hear people's thoughts.

"food!"

Huo Jingting said directly.

"food?"

Jiang Defu didn't expect him to say this.

"Mr. Jiang, I know you are on the team, and you should not be without food in the future. But now, new coins have been issued, and the denominations of these coins are getting smaller and smaller. You can only buy things in public department stores. Basically all industries are gradually disappearing from the private sector. I am worried that from now on, the focus will be on firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea. Nowadays, grain output is not high. Without the private sector, the economy will become a stagnant water. From now on..."

Huo Jingting did not continue.

But his words shocked Jiang Defu. He didn't expect Huo Jingting, just a small comprador, to take such a long-term view.

According to the history of the previous life, there are no accidents. The days to come will indeed become more and more difficult, especially in the next few years, we will experience some things. It is not easy to be full.

Not to mention in rural areas, even in cities, many people did not have enough to eat. In those days, gold and silver were not as valuable as a few big steamed buns.

It's just that Huo Jingting can predict his future life. This person is really not simple.

"Mr. Jiang, maybe I'm too talkative. You may still have to pay to buy these things now. After a few years, these things can be exchanged for a few steamed buns. If you need to buy them at that time, it will actually be more cost-effective!"

Huo Jingting continued.

"Thank you, Uncle Huo, for your guidance. Listening to your words is worth ten years of reading! I finally saw it today."

Jiang Defu praised sincerely.

"This... this may just be my idea. The main reason is that I heard that the higher ups will cut off contact with the outside world in the future. In fact, now we have a relationship with that old goose in the north... That old goose is actually not a kind person..."

"Uncle Huo, you don't need to explain. In fact, I think the same as you! We are all small people facing the tide of the times. We cannot influence the overall situation and can only choose to protect ourselves. I want to know how you will deal with the future situation?"

Huo Jingting's vision is definitely forward-thinking. A good businessman must always pay attention to the international situation and make accurate judgments.

It's just that in the tide of the times, many people, even those who were once basically at the top of the pyramid, are inevitably involved. Jiang Defu is actually sometimes worried about his future life.

He did not buy a large amount of gold, silver, soft goods and various investments. In fact, based on this, although he dealt with it carefully to avoid being involved in future situations, he really did not think of a specific response strategy.

He would like to hear the opinion of the master Huo Jingting!
