Chapter 158 In Yiwu

Qiu Yingjie nodded and said, "Don't worry, brother and sister, Zirui and I will be your elder brothers from today onwards. Jianghe has a beautiful girl like you. If he dares to let her down in the future, neither Zirui nor I will forgive him."

Luo Yuzhu was moved to tears when she heard Qiu Yingjie's words. Since her mother died, her father married a stepmother and finally sold him to a trafficker, which made her full of doubts about the feelings in the world. Now there are two elder brothers love.

She choked up and said, "Brother Bai, Brother Qiu, thank you for being so caring to me. From now on, you will be my big brothers."

Bai Zirui smiled and said, "Jiang He, do you hear that? Yuzhu is Yingjie and I's younger sister. If you dare to bully her, let me see how I deal with you!"

Chen Jianghe said without hesitation: "Don't dare, from now on I will treat Yuzhu like a princess and make her happy for the rest of her life."

Seeing Bai Zirui and Qiu Yingjie's deep affection for Chen Jianghe, Chen Jinshui felt happy for him. With the help of these two promising elder brothers, the chicken feathers will surely fly to the sky.

After Bai Zirui and Qiu Yingjie helped solve the problems encountered by Chen Jianghe and Luo Yuzhu, they wandered around Yiwu at this time under the leadership of the two of them.

Yiwu, also known as Wushang and Wuxiao, is located in the central part of ZJ Province, in the east of Jinqu Basin. Yiwu has a long history. It was established in Wushang County in the 25th year of Qin Yingzheng (222 BC). The history of Wushang County is as follows It is said that Yan Wu, a filial son, buried his father in the earth, and the crowd of Wu helped him with the soil, and all the mouths were wounded, so this place was named "Wushang".

Yiwu has a splendid culture and a large number of celebrities, such as King Luo Bin, one of the "Four Heroes of the Early Tang Dynasty", Zong Ze, a famous general of the Song Dynasty, Zhu Danxi, one of the four famous doctors of the Jin and Yuan Dynasties, Chen Wangdao, a modern educator, Feng Xuefeng, a literary theorist, and Wu Han, a historian. .

At this time, Yiwu was just a dilapidated small county town, not the world-famous small commodity capital and the largest small commodity distribution center in the world.

For more than half of the time, Yiwu was just a dilapidated small county town, "seven lights on one road, and one trumpet ringing the whole city".Farming is the only source of income. However, the land in Yiwu is barren. The people were once so poor that they had no rice to cook. They mixed water chestnuts and radishes with porridge to satisfy their hunger. They could not eat a catty of rice a month.

Sugar cane is suitable for planting along the Yiwu River, and brown sugar boiled from sugar cane can be used to exchange chicken, duck and goose feathers.The first batch of Yiwu people who exchanged chicken feathers for sugar carried brown sugar, hair ropes and hairpins in their burdens, shook rattles, ate and slept in the open, and walked all the way to Jiangxi, Hunan, and Guangdong.Then bring the local rare commodities back to Yiwu.

The self-organized market quietly developed in Niansanli Town. Everyone carried baskets and cloth bags, and it was agreed that the morning of "[-]" was the market opening time, and some daily necessities were traded here.But before the reform and opening up, businessmen who exchanged chicken feathers for sugar were regarded as speculators, and if they were "caught" by "thugs", they would be "annihilated."

Before that, Luo Yuzhu secretly set up a stall selling socks at the Niansanli Market, fighting wits and courage with Chen Jinshui who regarded him as a thorn in his side.Before Chen Jianghe came back, Chen Jinshui seized a batch of goods at the train station.

In December 1978, the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee was held, which sounded the clarion call of reform and opening up, established economic construction as the center, realized the shift of work focus, and brought new vitality to Yiwu's commercial tradition of exchanging sugar for chicken feathers.

Yiwu's rural market resumed its traditional market day in mid-January 1979, and spontaneous small department store stalls appeared successively in Niansanli Market and Xianqian Street in Choucheng Town.

At this time, "chicken feathers for sugar" is no longer simply exchanging sugar for chicken feathers, but instead using small items such as cowhide bands, hair clips, buttons, etc. to exchange "chicken feathers".The market is bustling and bustling, the streets are full of crowds.

There are goods stalls all over the street, from the street to the end of the street, the colorful goods on the stalls are dazzling, the sellers recommend the goods, and the buyers look here and there to pick out the goods they like.

The cries of hawkers, the bargaining of customers, and all kinds of noisy voices converged into a wonderful and cheerful symphony, and everyone had a hopeful smile on their faces.

The four of Bai Zirui walked in the market while looking at the lively scene around them, and said with emotion: "Yiwu people are really born businessmen, and the talent for doing business has been integrated into their bones."

Leader Xie of the county heard Chen Jinshui's report, and two top students from Yenching University came to invite them in person. Finally, he found them at the Gansanli Market, invited them to the county party committee to entertain them warmly, and invited them to serve the county party committee. Grassroots cadres give lectures.

Leader Xie walked into the meeting room first, and said with a smile: "Everyone is here! Comrades, the county has called grassroots cadres from all towns and decided to open a closed study class here. It will disturb the work of comrades, but it is a rare opportunity.

As for what to learn?how to learnI don't have the right to speak, but I have invited two good teachers for you. They are top students from Yenching University, the top university in the country.

For the next three days from today, all your actions will be under their command. Let us applaud and welcome the two teachers from Yenching University to teach you comrades. "

Bai Zirui and Qiu Yingjie walked into the study class amidst bursts of warm applause. Leader Xie shook hands with them enthusiastically and said with a hearty smile: "Teachers welcome you to our Yiwu as our guest. Next, you will work hard for us grassroots students. Cadres go to class and let them study hard and change their minds."

Bai Zirui said with a smile: "Thank you, leader, don't worry! We will live up to the leader's trust."

After Leader Xie introduced the two of them, there was some whispering at the scene, and he said loudly: "Comrades, why are some people not happy with the rules I just announced? Listen carefully to the class and follow the instructions of the two teachers in all actions."

After he finished speaking, he turned and walked out of the study class, but he was lying on the window and quietly watching the movement of the study class.Bai Zirui and Qiu Yingjie discussed in a low voice that he would give the lecture first, and he walked to the conference table calmly, first put the materials in his hand on the conference table, and then wrote the four chalk characters of emancipating the mind on the blackboard behind him.

Bai Zirui smiled and said to the township cadres sitting on both sides of the conference table: "We have been entrusted by the leaders to give lectures to you for the past three days. We are really ashamed! Rather than talking about lectures, we should talk about it with everyone.

What I am talking about today is emancipating the mind. The focus of emancipating the mind is emancipation. If you want to develop, you must make a breakthrough in your thinking. Now that the reform and opening up have taken place all over the country, changes are taking place with each passing day. We, Yiwu, cannot lag behind... ".

Leader Xie listened to Bai Zirui's lecture outside the window for a while. What he said was easy to understand, lively and interesting. He listened to Leader Xie and nodded frequently. He thought to himself, it seems that it is really kind to invite top students from Yenching University to teach grassroots cadres this time. Yes, he walked away with a big smile on his face.

For the next three days, Bai Zirui and Qiu Yingjie.Taking turns teaching these grassroots cadres greatly liberated their minds.

　Lovesickness is a kind of strong wine, which always exudes intoxicating fragrance when toasting; nostalgia is a thick feeling, which always evokes unspeakable melancholy when the moon is full.During the festive season, I miss my relatives a lot, everyone, happy Mid-Autumn Festival!
