Rebirth of Rural Literary Life

Chapter 114
"Director, this is the updated catalog of books proposed by the library this year, and I need you to take a look."

"Okay, put it there, I'll take a look later."

Xin Shoucheng was watering the flowers, and the library staff put the documents on his desk and went out.

Every morning after coming to the office to tidy up, the first thing Shoucheng does is to water a few potted flowers on the window sill. After watering the flowers, Shoucheng wipes his hands with a towel, and opens the documents on the table.

According to the rules of the library, some old books will be removed and some new books will be added every year. In the past few years, the library has been very deserted, so in the past two years, the books in the library have only been in and out, and this year is the same.

When turning to the second page, Xin Shoucheng's eyes froze, "The Wandering Cricket——He Ping?"

After Xin Shoucheng finished reading it, he asked the staff, but the staff didn't know. The book hadn't come in yet, and everyone hadn't read it. He could only let go of his doubts.

Fourth Uncle Liu is a craftsman, he does his work meticulously, and he met such a wealthy client as He Ping, so the construction progress of the small courtyard has been very slow, and it took almost a month to complete it.

The courtyard wall is made of blue bricks and red bricks, and the top has irregular curves and radians. There is a hollow window every three to five meters, which is embedded in the wall with irregular iron bars, which not only acts as a barrier. The function increases the sense of space and reduces the sense of oppression and distance.

The gate opens to the south and is made of two-finger-thick wooden planks. When you push the door into the courtyard, you will see a bluestone road. On the left is a planned small vegetable garden. There is a cement platform in the innermost corner of the vegetable garden. It is a cast iron pressurized well, and the toilet is on the right side of the bluestone road.Walking into the middle of the courtyard, the courtyard is separated by a flower bed made of blue bricks. On the left is a row of grape racks from east to west, which are still bare, and there is a swing next to it.On the right is a wooden gazebo. The umbrella-shaped top is not complicated, but it has a simple aesthetic feeling. The circle of the gazebo is made into a bench for people to sit on. There is a round table in the middle, where you can eat and enjoy the shade in summer. .

The original small round flower bed was abandoned by Uncle Liu, because he found that there were enough things in the yard, and this small flower bed would be a bit of an eyesore no matter where it was placed, so he changed the small flower bed into a long flower bed built in the middle of the yard. , making the whole yard more spacious and layered at once.

He Ping admired Fourth Uncle Liu's transformation very much. Even though he didn't have any professional training, the things he made were not worse than what He Ping thought, or even worse.

Looking at the transparent and natural small yard in front of him, He Ping began to imagine in his mind that in midsummer, the grape trellis was covered with vines, heavy bunches of grapes fell on it, and the flowers in the long flower beds were blooming one after another. All kinds of vegetables grew fat and fat in the vegetable field. He took Xiao Zhuer and Mao Chunhua to sit in the gazebo after dinner and ate watermelon. The TV in the room was still playing state affairs.

Such a wonderful life.

He Ping didn't immerse himself in fantasy for a long time, Fourth Uncle Liu was still waiting for him to pay the bill.

"Uncle Si, you need some money, right?" He Ping handed Uncle Liu the final payment for the work.

Fourth Uncle Liu took the money and didn't check it, "Check what to check, it's still short of money."

During this year, He Ping can be regarded as Uncle Liu's regular customer. The cost of two chicken farms, a house, and a yard is almost 8000 yuan.

Uncle Liu made a lot of money, and even took in two of his apprentices, but he paid for his apprentices out of his own pocket.

After seeing off Fourth Uncle Liu, He Ping came to the chicken farm.

May [-]st and [-]th are the two busiest time periods for the production team. Spring planting and autumn harvest include a year of hard work and harvest.

Recently, spring plowing started, and the old team leader took people from the chicken farm every now and then, so He Ping could only stare at the chicken farm every day.The second batch of chickens has started to lay eggs one after another, and the work on the chicken farm is more than before. At this time, there should be no shortage of manpower.

Every morning is the busiest time for the chicken farm. There are many people who come to bring eggs in the yard, all of whom are from various supply and marketing cooperatives, non-staple food stores, and school cafeterias.

He Ping greeted each of them with a smiling face, they were all old faces.

In the newly built chicken coop, Hong Qi was squatting on the ground holding notes.

"Hong Qi."

"Brother He Ping." Hong Qi turned his head and saw He Ping standing up quickly.

"What are you doing?"

Hong Qi said: "Teacher Xu asked me to collect data on laying hens."

He Ping didn't understand their professional matters, so he didn't ask again, and changed the subject, "How is it? Did you consider what I told you a few days ago?"

Hong Qi scratched his nose, and said with a shy smile, "Brother He Ping, I haven't thought about it yet."

He Ping patted him on the shoulder, "Don't worry, think slowly. You have been in our chicken farm for a long time, and the growth speed of our chicken farm is also seen in our eyes. Now is our high-speed growth period , We welcome talents like you very much."

"I understand what you said."

"I understand, but it's still not as good as the assigned job, right?" He Ping said with a smile.

Hong Qi touched his nose in embarrassment, but said nothing.

"I understand your thoughts, but the situation outside has changed rapidly in the past two years. It's just that the policy has not been fully implemented from above. When you have time, you should pay more attention to the information about relations. It is reported in newspapers, on the radio, and on TV. Can follow the clues.

Compared with traditional state-owned enterprises, our team-run enterprise is undoubtedly much more flexible, and it can give you a lot of space to display. Don't confine yourself to a small unit for the rest of your life, and look at problems from a higher place. You You will find many different angles.

As a brother, I don’t talk to you empty-handed. As long as you are willing to come over, no matter which unit or enterprise you will be assigned to in the future, our chicken farm will pay you twice as much as their wages. "

The salary He Ping gave was already comparable to the eighth-level workers in many factories at this time. Chicken farms are in urgent need of talents. He Ping once talked to Xu Haishan, hoping that he can join Hantun Chicken Farm, but Xu Haishan is half a hundred years old. The current life has no worries about food and clothing, and there is no such idea at all.

So He Ping set his sights on his student Hong Qi, Xu Haishan had no opinion on this, Hong Qi was his student, but Xu Haishan had no right to mention Hong Qi to make any decisions.

In order to win over Hong Qi, He Ping chatted with Hong Qi whenever he had nothing to do. From state affairs to basic necessities of life, he found out all eight generations of Hong Qi's ancestors within a few days.

Hong Qi's family lives in the countryside of the Yingcheng area. He is a three-generation poor farmer whose roots are straight and seedling red. He is considered a scholar in his generation. There are two younger sisters and two younger brothers in the family. He is the only adult child in the family. The burden on the shoulders can be imagined.

This is also where He Ping thinks he can take advantage of the opportunity. If you change to a student with better family conditions, you will not have any hesitation between government agencies, state-owned units, and team-run enterprises. Going to the team to run a business is really a brain hole.
