It's spring, the weather is warm and cold, but farmers who have been cats all winter can't continue to be lazy. They have to start preparing for the year's plan. Preparations for the beginning of spring ploughing: plowing, ploughing, and fertilizing, all of which are meticulous and labor-intensive work.
Li Daniu took over as the captain of a production team around the end of the year, and when it was time for spring ploughing, he was completely clueless. Even arranging the seedlings almost caused the members to quarrel.
He carried three taels of pork and hurried to the He's house to ask his brother for guidance.
He saw his sister-in-law carrying a bucket of clothes, as if she had just returned from washing clothes by the river.
Li Daniu shouted, "Sister-in-law."
He quickly thought that He Songye was deaf and couldn't hear. He leaned in front of her and said word by word very slowly, "I'm here to find elder brother."
He Songye looked at his wriggling lips and understood what he said. She nodded and led Li Daniu to her husband.
Li Dali was struggling to move around the room on crutches. But today is different. When he got married last year, he still used crutches to move, and now he can walk a few steps without the crutches.
Sweat dripped from his forehead, and as soon as he looked up, he saw a sudden number of people in the room.
He smiled, "What's up?"
Daniu was overjoyed and went to help his brother, "I just wanted to come and see you. You can walk, soon, right?"
"I wanted to come and ask you for advice."
He snapped and said to Li Daniu: "It was supposed to start spring ploughing and it was time to work, but the old fritters in the brigade pushed one and the other refused to move, dragging them down, and they wanted to beat people up when they were really angry. Let me think about it, it’s okay for the younger generation to fight, and they still rely on the old to sell the old, can’t I teach them a lesson?”
Li Daniu seemed to be holding back his anger, and saliva flew when he complained with his eldest brother.
He spoke so fast that He Songye couldn't see clearly, staring blankly at his uncle's indignant expression.
Li Dali said: "They just want you to do more work. Newly appointed captains have to be like this... If you don't work too much, they won't accept you."
"Why do you say that, at the end of the year, I don't share much of my food, so I need to work more... Okay, I'll pin my nose and recognize it, but they just want me to do it all! Tsk, tah Shameless." Li Daniu said.
When the captain of the production team has a heart of Qiqiao and exquisite, everyone earns one centimeter and eats collective meals. It is necessary for everyone to obey him, but also to listen to his arrangements. The honest ones are willing to put in more effort, and the thick-skinned ones make a fool of themselves. Old and powerless to do this, Li Daniu should also keep his eyes open and keep the centimeters.
But the 189-year-old is still doing this, which is really stepping on the bottom line of the captain. Li Daniu is inexperienced and easily irritated by others.
Li Dali thought about it and said to his second brother, "I'll listen to you when you start the mobilization meeting."
Li Daniu got his eldest brother's right words, and thanked him repeatedly, "They are willing to be obedient only when they are in front of you."
…
In March, He Songbai's big pig claimed to have weighed 160 to 70 jin. Although it was still less than 200 jin, it would be profitable to slaughter it now.
He temporarily recruited three pig slaughter masters to teach them by hand.
However, the busy spring ploughing has also begun. He Songbai has to plough the land and turn the fields during the day. The entire team has only five cattle, which is often not the turn of a young adult like him. When he finished his work, he lay down on the edge of the field and slept. When he fell asleep, there would be live animals on his body. Sometimes it is a green grasshopper, and sometimes it is a delicious frog.
The small and beautiful tender dragonfly stands gently on the tip of the weeds.
Occasionally skipped over his shoulder and stopped.
He slept soundly in the splendid spring light, sweet and solid, so quiet that there was almost no sense of existence.
After Zhao Lanxiang finished her work, she glanced at him and couldn't help laughing.
After the others dispersed, she slowly walked over and coughed lightly.
When He Songbai moved, the frog on his feet croaked and jumped away. Seeing that the sun was already high, he stood up with a shudder all over his body.
Zhao Lanxiang said, "It's time for lunch, don't sleep."
He Songbai silently followed the object home. He went to the well and washed his face. The bright spring light of early spring shone on his body, and his body was warm. In his eyes, even the stench of composted mud was so special. . He stretched his muscles and bones, feeling his whole body full of energy.
Zhao Lanxiang said, "Is it a pleasure to work?"
He Songbai nodded.
He walked to the woodshed and ate two big bowls of rice suddenly.
He wiped his face and said, "I've finished the afternoon's work, and I still have something to do. Let Tie Zhu play me in the afternoon."
Today is the weekend, and as a rule, I have to rest. But in the busy agricultural season, the weekend has become less like a weekend.
Zhao Lanxiang said: "You pay attention to safety."
She paused and said, "Can I ask what's the matter?"
He Songbai stopped eating for a while, and he quickly picked out every grain of rice in the bowl and ate it clean.
He looked at the worry in the object's eyes, and his heart softened.
He whispered, "Do you remember how our pig slaughtering farm closed last time?"
Zhao Lanxiang nodded, and the police caught a few pork sellers, followed suit, and took down the base camp.
He Songbai clenched one hand into a fist, put it on his lips, and approached the subject's ear.
"So this time I'm looking for a relationship and selling pork!"
Zhao Lanxiang's heart suddenly moved, "Selling pork?"
He Songbai nodded, he quickly cleaned up the table and washed the dishes, and returned to the room without saying a word. He took out his well-folded tunic suit and put it in a bamboo basket.
"Have you finished your work? Come with me when you're done."
He thought that it would be okay to take her to the city to change her mood.
Zhao Lanxiang looked at the energy in the corner of the man's eyes, as if bewitched, she nodded.
"When you're done, the eldest sister helped me in the morning."
He Songbai quickly went to pick up the bicycle. He wiped the dusty back seat with his hand, and took the object to the county, and then transferred to the city.
When I came to the city, it was time for the urban workers to get off work.
He Songbai reunited with Li Zhong, and Li Zhong took them to an acquaintance's house.
"Here." Li Zhong handed a package to He Songbai.
When He Songbai came out of the bathroom, he had already turned over. The stubble on his face was cleanly shaved, his face was neatly tucked, and the tattered poor man's shirt he was wearing had been replaced by a tunic suit that was neat and wide and ironed.
These tunic suits were also the two clothes that Zhao Lanxiang made for him for the first time. He was reluctant to wear them out, so he carefully kept them and wore them less than three times in total.
He Songbai's hair seems to have been repaired, and the hair that usually grows recklessly has become the popular educated youth split.
When he walked out of the bathroom, Zhao Lanxiang turned his head and looked at it suddenly, and was really stunned. He Songbai rarely has such a neat time. The last time I saw it was when the New Year was in G city.
However, the pair of sneakers that are popular in the city on his feet are nondescript, making Zhao Lanxiang dumbfounded. This is a unique and rustic fashion of this era. She is also beyond reproach.
He Songbai packed a bunch of things into Li Zhong's handbag, he touched the object's head, and instructed: "You stay at this fellow's house for a while, eat something, I'll be back soon after I'm done. ."
Selling pork is so mysterious, so that Zhao Lanxiang wants to follow them to find out what they are doing in this way.
After He Songbai finished his instructions, he soon followed Li Zhong and disappeared on a bicycle.
He and Li Zhong made a special arrangement to look like a dog, and they went to the officials of the steel smelter and coal processing plant to "talk about business". Dress well and be strong, it is easy to be respected.
He Songbai was full of confidence in front of Zhao Lanxiang. In fact, he took this step, and he was not uneasy.
Li Zhong laughed and scolded: "You cowardly boy, I was tricked by you. If you don't dare to go, let's go back today."
He Songbai said calmly: "I'm not afraid, the sky is falling and your fourth uncle is still on it."
"Master He told me before that these two factories had come over to ask about pork, but he didn't dare to answer. We won't eat this piece of fat, and I can't sleep."
Workers in steel smelting plants and coal processing plants do heavy physical labor. Therefore, the cafeteria often goes to great lengths to give them extra meals. However, the pork in the monthly share cannot support them to eat meat all the time, and purchasers often buy meat through various channels.
But where is the meat ticket so easy to get together? Workers want to eat meat, but the canteen is not enough to buy meat. At this time, it is inevitable to go to the black market to secretly buy some replenishment inventory.
This secret matter has become a secret secret that the backbone of the cafeteria is rotten in the stomach.
Li Zhongdao: "If it can be negotiated, we will not sell to those bad guys in the future, and the business will be more secure."
He Songbai straightened Li Zhongzheng's collar and straightened his waist, "Remember, you have to be colder, have a more arrogant tone, and be more confident, so he doesn't dare to question us."
"Wait to see my expression."
So Li Zhong and the two went to the house of the purchasing officer of the canteen department of the steel smelting plant. Officer Shi, who got the news, sent his family to watch a movie early, and he made two side dishes to greet people.
Li Zhong and He Songbai, one with a red face and the other with a black face, were vivid.
Li Zhong mentioned that they have the way of pork.
He Songbai covered Li Zhong's mouth and said, "Don't listen to his nonsense, you don't even know who you are after drinking two glasses of horse urine.
What you do these days is life-threatening, how many lives do you have to take risks to earn money? Master He said that the words that he said to you in the past should be listened to. We are here today to remind you, don't think too much. "
Master He might jump into the coffin when he heard He Songbai's words. Where did he send He Songbai, and what kind of awakening did he mention.
He Songbai made another call and filled bowls with wine, so Steward Shi was already drunk by him.
Secretary Shi said slowly: "We want pork, we want it."
"Who will work if you don't have a full stomach these days? Everyone is lazy. The efficiency of the factory is declining every year. City N ranks last in the country. The manager scolds the workers and the canteen every year. food?"
"We have the money, you can talk about how to find a way, I am grateful to you."
Li Zhong also had a bunch of lines prepared in his stomach, and he was miraculously blocked like a dam that had closed the gate.
Heroes are useless!
He Songbai then took out the "Joint and Several Responsibility Book" in the leather handbag, and asked the person to sign and slap the blood red slap.
"Heaven knows this matter, the three of us know it, and it is absolutely impossible for the fourth person to know it."
Secretary Shi nodded his head hotly.
…
Zhao Lanxiang stayed at the home of the villager in the city. When it was time for dinner, the villager greeted her to eat.
She was worried about He Songbai and the others in her heart. She had no appetite and just stood downstairs and waited for someone. As night fell, all the lights were lit up. Different from the countryside where there is no electricity, many people in the city have already used electric light bulbs.
The warm yellow light shone into her eyes.
After a long time, the bell of a bicycle came from downstairs, and the tall man jumped out of the car.
He sighed, "Are you hungry?"
"I'll take you to dinner."
He Songbai pushed Li Zhong down, patted the back seat of his bicycle, and pulled the subject into the car. He rode his bike all the way, took the subject for a ride, and drove towards the state-run hotel.
His deep voice revealed a hint of happiness that could not be concealed, "Xiangxiang, my piglet has been sold!"
"In the future, the workers here and here will have to eat the pork produced in my pig farm."
He Songbai pointed at two buildings with his chin.
The night was too dark, Zhao Lanxiang looked at it hard.
She whimpered excitedly and twisted the tendon on the man's waist, "You are really capable!"
"You have to sell people a lot of pork, right?"
She made a quick calculation. He Songbai's pig farm originally had about a hundred pigs. The sow had litters. When she gave birth next month, she could have a few more litters, and they would be born in litters. At the same time, there can be fifty or sixty pigs!
Zhao Lanxiang quickly calculated that the meat production of the pig farm was incomparable to that of the old pig farm. For the supply of these two factories, there is probably not much remaining pork for retail sale to the poor father, right
It turned out that he was playing this idea
"A different way?"
He Songbai said in a low voice, "It's to make a fortune in a muffled voice."
The author has something to say: *
small theater:
Li Zhong: You are going too far.
When you see Britney, you don't want any siblings
People also want to eat, and people are hungry.
He Songbai: "..."
