The Story of Qingfeng Village

Chapter 37

Wang Chunsheng: "It is said that we rely on the mountains to eat the mountains and rely on the sea to eat the sea. Our Qingfeng Village is located in a hilly area. Apart from planting some crops on these hillsides, there is no special production, and there are no economic trees. The trees on the slopes are all Some crooked cypress trees, weeds and thorns, the grain yield is also low, and they seem to be unreliable."

Wang Jinfa nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes. In the past, it was said that bricks could be sold with yellow mud, but it didn't work out. A good thing was messed up, and no one took advantage of it? Just holding a golden bowl It's just a matter of asking, now...it can't work, do you still need so many bricks?"

Wang Chunsheng: "Now the country advocates environmental protection. Red bricks cause huge damage to the environment and cultivated land, so many places have banned brick kilns. Even if there are bricks, they are green bricks and sand bricks. Building kilns is not feasible."

Xiao Guangwei: "It is definitely not feasible to build a kiln factory. The thermal power plants in our power sector have been banned because they caused great pollution to the environment."

Wang Jinfa: "That's right, Secretary Xiao, it's not that I don't know how to work. You see, our Qingfeng village has no water or food, and we don't have any geographical advantages. How can we get rid of poverty?"

"Is there nothing special?

Wang Jinfa said: "Qingfeng village only produces red sweet potato and corn. These two things are drought-resistant and are most suitable for planting on such slopes. Qingfeng village has many of these two things. As long as it is in Shili Baxiang, every village produces it. People who go out Said it was from the country of Shao.”

Zhu Xia said: "Isn't there still water if the mountain is not close to it? If the village has such a big weir and pond to engage in breeding, it can make a lot of income."

"Quickly stop talking. Mr. Zhu, you didn't know that you almost killed someone because of the Yantang incident."

"What's going on? How could there be a death?"

Wang Jinfa said: "When the old party secretary was in office, he said that he would invigorate the economy and develop the breeding industry in the village, and contract out the weirs and ponds.

But everyone in the village looked forward and backward, and no one dared to do it.

In the past, Yantang was a collective property, and everyone ate whatever they had. The lotus root, fish, etc. in it were shared by everyone at the end of each year. No one will suffer, and no one will take advantage. Hello, me hello everyone.

Now if you want to contract out, you have to work hard on your own. No one can figure out the market, so who dares to start easily?

Moreover, you have to pay for the contracting of Yantang, and you have not earned any money. If you pay a sum of money first, who is willing to do it?What's more, I don't know if this fish can be raised, whether it will be sold or not, I have to worry about it myself, the risk is not small, who is willing to bear it?
People in Qingfeng Village have always crossed the river by feeling the stones, otherwise they would have been rich long ago. It was an example when my uncle found a partner to set up a stall in the village.

Now I just watched him go to the city to enjoy the blessings, but at that time, no one could follow him.

Wang Chunsheng: "Oh, don't get too far, let's talk about it."

Wang Jinfa: "Okay, let's not get too far. In the end, the son of the village party secretary, Li Qiang became the first person to stand up and say that he came to contract first.

There is no objection to him coming to contract the villagers.

They took a wait-and-see attitude, anyway, they had money for Li Qiang's success. "

Li Qiang contracted to grow lotus roots and fish in the village's weir pond. After agreeing to pay the village the contract fee, the village didn't care.

Li Fumin was very supportive of his son, and took out all the savings of the family, planning to make his son turn around so that he could show his face in Qingfeng Village again.

Because of his daughter's death, he was no longer the village party secretary, and he couldn't hold his head up in the village for a long time.

In the past, there was a daughter and son-in-law supporting the facade, and life was not bad, and she was respected and sought after everywhere.

Since the daughter left, the situation has completely changed.

Now if the son can succeed, he can be regarded as able to stand up.

My son has grown up too, so I have to think about his marriage.

Li Qiang also knew that he was not good at studying, and he couldn't go to college like his sister and jumped out of the farm. Before, he thought that even if he couldn't go to college, with the help of his sister and brother-in-law, it would not be difficult to find a job in the city in the future, but suddenly Sister Jian was gone, and Li Qiang felt that the sky was about to fall.
Moreover, my family and my brother-in-law's family have become enemies, and my father issued a ban after he came back, and will never associate with my brother-in-law again.

Although the brother-in-law later wrote a letter to send money, but it was all returned by the father. The brother-in-law also wrote him a letter and sent it to the school. He replied to the letter to the brother-in-law without telling the family.

After that, my brother-in-law didn't hear from me.

Everything depends on Li Qiang himself.

Li Qiang first went to the town to buy some breeding books, but there was no decent bookstore in the town, so he simply went into the city. There must be a lot of books in the special Xinhua bookstore in the city.

After buying the books he needed at Xinhua Bookstore, Li Qiang thought that since he was here, why not visit his brother-in-law's house and ask his brother-in-law Liu Jianguo's opinion. He knew that his brother-in-law had never denied him as a brother-in-law.

Also, my nephew Liu Li didn't even know what he looked like, so my uncle should go and see, so I bought some gifts and went to my brother-in-law's house.

My brother-in-law lives in the dormitory of the unit, and Li Qiang has been here several times.

Those who were familiar with the way walked to the door, just as the uncle in-law picked up Liu and Li back from school.

The uncle in-laws still recognized him and warmly invited him into the house, but Liu Li didn't know him and looked at him curiously.

Under the guidance of his uncle in-laws, he called him uncle, and ran back to his room for a long time without coming out.

Li Qiang told Uncle Liu that he had come to the city to buy books and planned to contract fish ponds. Uncle Liu said it was a good thing, and now he would definitely make money in the breeding business.

Li Qiang is also very happy and has confidence again.

Ask about brother-in-law Liu Jianguo.

Uncle Liu said that he went to the provincial capital to study.

Li Qiang didn't see his brother-in-law, Liu Jianguo, although he was a little disappointed, but he still had something to gain. When he left, Uncle Liu stuffed him with a few hundred dollars and asked him to work hard.

He didn't intend to ask for it, but Uncle Liu said that you are still Liu Li's uncle, and our two families are still relatives.You work hard, you will make a lot of money in the future, remember to come and see your Uncle Liu!

Li Qiang held back the tears that were about to burst into his eyes, said goodbye and left his brother-in-law's house, went back to learn how to raise fish, and even went to other people's fish ponds to learn from others.

Later, he received a remittance of 1000 yuan from his brother-in-law Liu Jianguo, and Li Qiang became even more confident.So I was ready to let go of my hands and feet and do a big job.

Li Qiang bought fish fry and put them in the weir pond, and built a shack beside the weir ridge, managing the fish pond day and night.

Even Li Fumin and his wife helped mow the grass and feed the fish after finishing their farm work.

Even grandpa was not idle, he came to deliver meals to Li Qiang every morning, and when Li Qiang was away, he would help watch by the fish pond.
