90s Little Struggle

Xiao Hong didn't know that Xiao Fang could deal with her father very well now.

She also encountered a little trouble here. Yesterday the driver said that it was more than 20 miles away, and it would take him ten minutes to drive back.

But Xiao Hong is not very familiar with the road here. She encountered a fork in the middle of the road, and only realized that she was driving the wrong car when she met someone asking for directions.

This delay took her half an hour to find a place.

It may be because this piece of soil is suitable for building pottery factories, and the ground was dug a little lower than the previous one.

The wooden signboard of the state-run pottery factory is already dusty, and the iron gate is also rusty.

She didn't rush to the state-run factory, but drove slowly around the dirt road.

There are a few small private factories not far away, and it seems that they have not been built for a long time. There are enamel factories, printing factories, and plastic equipment factories. On the other side is a small village, and you can see a few children chasing there.

Behind is a long river, and on the other side of the river are thin bamboos. When you drive across the bridge, you can see some farmlands of different sizes.

Although it is the twelfth lunar month of winter, the fields are all planted with wheat, and the wheat seedlings are almost half an inch long at this moment, and the green is very gratifying.

Behind it is the rolling mountains and forests, guarding the eastern part of the provincial capital like a curtain.

Xiao Hong is still very satisfied with the state-owned earthenware factory.

It's a pity that it is too big, at least more than 30 mu of land, and she doesn't have the financial ability now.

Even though the location of this area seems to be a little far away from the provincial capital, Xiao Hong is sure that in a few years, this area will become bustling with prosperity.

It's like a hungry person who sees the tempting cakes in the cake shop but has no money to buy them, not to mention how painful it is.

The current solution is to encourage Liu Haibo to partner with him.

It just so happens that he also needs to build a cold storage, divide the chicken and need space.

Later, Xiao Hong went to the state-owned clay pottery factory. Originally, she wanted to ask someone to inquire, but she saw a middle-aged woman knitting by the gate. When she saw a car coming in, she immediately looked over.

Xiao Hong simply drove over slowly and asked, and it turned out to be the wife of the driver's elder brother's family. She was afraid that she would not find a place, so she waited here on purpose.

The three big wine vats are really big, at least 1.5 meters high, Xiao Hong felt that they could stand three of them in a crowded place.

The driver's wife was still there and assured her that as long as this big tank does not need to be bumped, it will definitely last for 30 to [-] years.

Xiao Hong also really felt that the price was very conscientious.

Anyway, I need to ask a tractor to help transport it back. Xiao Hong saw a flower pot with flowers and plants, and bought more than a dozen of them, large and small, and asked her about things she was interested in by the way.

Xiao Hong soon learned that the state-owned clay pottery factory had been taken over by the government after it ran out of money.

After that, it is up to the government to compensate the wages of the workers first, so that the workers can find other jobs and a place to live.

And the government also stipulates that they must leave at the end of the year.

Several groups of people had come to urge them to leave before.

Now that Xiao Hong bought all the big tanks in their house, the driver's wife said that she would move to the new place when her husband came back, so as not to be urged to leave again.

Xiao Hong spent another five yuan, and the driver's wife went to the nearby village to find the tractor driver and his younger brother to help transport all the tanks back.

Of course, these can only be piled up in the yard of the old house first.

Xiao Hong originally wanted to talk to Liu Haibo about buying a house, but when she thought that the government department estimated that the eighth day of the first lunar month would pass, she was in no hurry and planned to have a good year first.

With Grandpa Zhao and the others around, Xiao Hong didn't need to worry about anything at home. He cleaned it up early in the morning, posted door couplets, and hung red lanterns on every floor.

The lunch is relatively simple, and in the afternoon I start to prepare a big dinner again.

For major traditional festivals, flower growers will prepare pig heads and whole chickens to sacrifice, to thank the gods of heaven and earth, and to repay the kindness of ancestors.

As for Liu Haibo, he had already said that the ones prepared this morning will be on holiday when they are sold out.

Therefore, after one o'clock in the afternoon, the employees also received red envelopes and happily went back to celebrate the New Year.

But Liu Haibo's side is planning to open for business on the second day of the Lunar New Year.

Because before the eighth day of the new year, the employees will be paid double wages, so everyone is very willing.

Xiao Hong also left Fan's mother and daughter here to have New Year's Eve dinner together.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, firecrackers sounded one after another, and the atmosphere of the New Year was suddenly felt.

Xiao Hong and the others also started offering sacrifices, focusing on gods before ghosts.

First welcome the gods, then worship the land, and then worship the ancestors.

Even though Xiao Hong is following her mother now, the Zhao family still asked Xiao Hongxian to worship the ancestors of the Xiao family, and then the ancestors of the Zhao family.

After that, there is a sumptuous reunion dinner.

Chicken, duck and fish are all available, and Xiao Hong specially bought out-of-season greenhouse vegetables before, including bright red tomatoes, tender beans, and purple eggplants.

Wu Julan first greeted her daughters to eat glutinous rice sausages: "Eat glutinous rice sausages, you can grow taller, and you will all be taller in the future."

Grandma Zhao felt emotional after eating the beans: "In summer, eating beans hurts, and I take them home to feed chickens, ducks, and pigs. Now I eat beans, and the taste is quite good."

Grandpa Zhao also rarely echoed: "Eggplant with only some garlic is also delicious."

Zhao Yanyan didn't accept the rebuttal: "Obviously fried tomatoes with eggs are more delicious. Tomatoes are sour, and eggs are particularly fragrant."

Xiao Fang just laughed: "Can it be delicious, this vegetable has caught up with the price of meat."

"What did you say? Now the best pork belly costs two yuan and five cents a catty." Grandma Zhao's eyes widened in disbelief: "You mean beans that cost five or six cents a catty before, but now they cost Two yuan and fifty one catty?"

The pain in the flesh is really hard to ignore.

Xiao Hong suspected in her heart that if she hadn't been worried that it was New Year's Eve, she might not be able to help scolding them as 'prodigal sons'.

She could only tell a white lie: "Grandma, these off-season vegetables are all grown in greenhouses, and they are expensive to sell outside, but I am studying at the Agricultural College, and the internal price is only [-] cents a catty. "

In fact, the Agricultural College does have greenhouse vegetables, but the quantity is not much. Some are provided in the cafeteria as welfare, and the teachers will share some, and there will be nothing left.

Besides, there have been greenhouses since ancient times, and there is also a saying that mallow is warming leeks. Of course, people today will not be left behind. Some people have been planting in greenhouses for a long time.

Their agricultural college just started greenhouse planting for the sake of experimentation, and let the students practice their hands by the way.

However, although the off-season vegetables on the market are expensive, there are many people who are willing to buy them, some for the sake of appetite, and some for the sake of face.

Xiao Hong felt that if her stepfather was still farming at home, she would also suggest that they grow some greenhouse vegetables. Although some investment was required in the early stage, the income in the later stage was really good.

But even if it is a kind of greenhouse, I am afraid of heavy rain and strong wind, and I am afraid of extreme weather, so I still have to depend on the sky for food, otherwise I am afraid that I will lose everything.
