Life in a small village with quiet mountains and quiet waters

Chapter 34

"Brother Siwei, what are you doing?"

Gu Siwei was about to enter the factory when he suddenly heard someone calling him behind him, so he stopped, turned his head and said to him.

"Into the factory?"

"Don't go in!"

Guo Shengshui squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "We can't make a big show of changing things. You are resting in the woods over there, and I will call someone over here."

"?"

Gu Siwei was a little doubtful, which was a bit beyond his cognitive outline, but when he thought about it now, he suddenly felt that he could understand it again.

Although it's a pity that he didn't enter the city, Gu Siwei was not stupid and stunned. He rushed straight up when things happened. Hearing Guo Shengshui's words, Gu Siwei waited to act with the big guys.

At this time, Liu Dezhu followed Gu Siwei and said: "Brother Siwei, after we finish changing things, I'll take you for a stroll here. It's very lively here. There are more things than in our town. It's great to work here." .

Through Liu Dezhu's words, Gu Siwei knew that the biggest wish of this silly boy was to work in this factory, earn a salary, and become a member of the country.

It's not Liu Dezhu's fault, everyone thinks the same way now. Some people want to be farmers, but they all sharpen their heads and go to the factory.

Entering a factory from the countryside is like a carp jumping over the dragon gate, and the whole family will be wiped out after jumping over it. If they fail to jump over, they have to face the loess and turn their backs to the sky, drop a drop of sweat and smash eight petals and wave a hoe. I didn't see a few bowls of white rice when I came down.

I am afraid that in this era, the only guy who thinks it is good to be a farmer is Gu Siwei.

"You just study hard." Gu Siwei joked.

As soon as he heard about the study, Liu Dezhu's whole face wrinkled instantly, and he began to mutter something in his mouth.

"Dezhu is going to study? It would be nice if he could write his name in full."

The kid who followed immediately laughed.

Even if the young people are not full enough to eat, they are still energetic, so soon several people are laughing and laughing together.

Gu Siwei followed Guo Shengshui to a small forest.

Everyone tied up the animals and unloaded the things together, and then heard Guo Shengshui say: You all wait here, I will call someone over.

Watching Guo Shengshui leave the grove and walk towards the cement road of the factory, Gu Siwei began to look at the factory again.

The factory is very lively, it is now in the morning, and those who should go to work have already gone to work. There are still many pedestrians on the road, but they are all old and small, including old ladies with bound feet, and more It is a child who runs all over the road, and from time to time, there will be a crisp bicycle bell ringing in his ears, and sometimes it will be accompanied by one or two shouts.

"What are you looking at?"

Liu Dezhu came up again, stood beside Gu Siwei with a curious face, and followed Gu Siwei's gaze. He thought he could see something strange, but who knew that all he saw were children besides the elderly.

Gu Siwei didn't respond to him, because he knew that this kid still thought he was a spy or something. As far as Liu Dezhu's brain was concerned, Gu Siwei felt that an explanation was superfluous, so let this silly boy keep being stupid.

Seeing that Gu Siwei didn't answer himself, Liu Dezhu felt bored after a while, muttered a few words and ran to the side to play with his friends.

I don't know how long it took, but Gu Siwei saw two men riding bicycles, wearing blue tunic suits and blue hats coming towards him.

He is obviously a cultural person, with a pen pinned to his breast pocket.

After waiting a little closer, he saw Guo Shengshui sitting on the back seat of the bicycle.

Seeing Guo Shengshui, Gu Siwei knew that the person he was looking for had come.

Gu Siwei didn't move, but watched these people set up their bicycles at the foot of the mountain, and then walked slowly into the woods.

"Director Wu, this is what we brought."

As soon as he entered the woods, Guo Shengshui enthusiastically introduced him to a middle-aged man in his early 40s.

The two people who came were in their early thirties and the other in their fifties.

Seeing the demeanor of the middle-aged man, Gu Siwei knew that this man had real power, and he still had some flesh on his body, so he knew at a glance that he was the real power faction of the oil and water department.

The middle-aged man didn't seem interested in listening to what Guo Shengshui had to say. He knelt down and stretched out his fingers to poke at the prey on the ground, picking pricks while poking.

"The rabbit is a bit too thin, and the pheasant is not enough, let alone the little wild boar, who can eat such a small amount..." The middle-aged man expressed his dissatisfaction while talking.

Guo Shengshui was taken aback for a moment, and then he laughed again: "It's winter now, such big hares and pheasants are hard to come by, and we all spent a lot of effort to catch them, I'm not boasting, now It is almost impossible for other villages to catch these things... ".

Guo Shengshui is also from the old mountains. He doesn't know what the state of wild boars and hares is like in winter?

He also understood that Director Wu just wanted to pick a thorn and lower the price.

"How about this, I'll give you three cents a catty for rabbits, four cents for pheasants, and fifty cents for wild boars..." Director Wu opened his mouth and said.

Upon hearing the price, Gu Siwei was stunned.

According to the current thinking of farmers, this price is not bad. A catty of pork is only seventy or eighty cents. This price is not appropriate, but it is not outrageous.

But Gu Siwei is not a farmer now. He knows that money is not the only thing to look at now. To put it bluntly, money is not very useful. The most valuable thing is not money, but various bills.

Just giving you money but not tickets, even if you hold thousands of dollars, it's useless.

"Director Wu, you have to exchange some tickets for us. It's useless for us to ask for money. We all count on buying things. You can give it, whether it's food stamps, oil stamps, or industrial supplies stamps."

Guo Shengshui immediately began to bargain.

"Industrial product ticket? See if you can give it to you. Our factory doesn't issue many tickets. It's like exchanging so many tickets for this little thing?" Director Wu began to shake his face.

Director Wu's words are not credible at all. It is impossible for a factory like this to have industrial supplies tickets.

Let's put it this way, which one of the factories moved to the mountains is not a key project?The state tries to ensure the lives of these workers and their treatment. To be honest, the life of the county magistrate may not be as evil as they are.

Gu Siwei felt uncomfortable. He used to have a temper of two hundred and five, but now that he has space in his hands, it has fueled some of his temper. How can he accept this posturing thing in front of him?

He didn't like these bureaucratic guys at first, how could he be so angry now.

"Okay, brother Shengshui, I won't sell this prey anymore"

Gu Siwei said.

When he said this, Guo Shengshui was stunned, and he didn't recover for a while.

"Brother Siwei, don't lose your temper." Guo Shengshui winked at Gu Siwei while nodding at the middle-aged man.

Gu Siwei pretended not to see Guo Shengshui's wink, and said slowly, "Just give me some money. I want some money. My stuff is alive. If I can't sell it here, I'll go to the county seat They sell the same, but travel a little more.”

Gu Siwei didn't feel that he was inferior to others when he sold things, but looking at Guo Shengshui's appearance, he seemed to have some such factors in his heart.

Of course, it still has something to do with the times. At this time, people feel that they can't hold their heads up even if they start a small business, and they don't feel like a serious person.

It's like decades later, when a group of businessmen did lawless and unreasonable things, they made workers work twelve hours a day, wishing to hang a urine bag on the workers to save money for going to the toilet.

These dogs still have the face to call themselves entrepreneurs.

Calling you a businessman at this time is probably similar to scolding your ancestors for eight generations.

"Brother Siwei, don't make trouble." Guo Shengshui was about to cry.

Seeing Gu Siwei's appearance, this director Wu also became angry. All the farmers who have come to sell things over the years are not smiling, even if they are disrespecting cigarettes and toasting, they are also nodding and bowing like a grandson. Why did such a bird appear today? Come? !

"Not for sale?!"

"Do not sell!"

"Don't regret it." Director Wu narrowed his eyes, stood up straight and looked at Gu Siwei.

It's a pity that he is not tall enough to show off in front of Gu Siwei. He is less than 1.7 meters tall and stands in front of Gu Siwei who is about 1.8 meters short. This makes Director Wu look a little funny.

"What do you regret? Regret selling more money?" Gu Siwei's face was full of smiles.

At this time, the person who came with Director Wu spoke up.

"Young man, how much do you want to sell?"

Gu Siwei looked at it and shook his head, "Not for sale!"

"why?"

This one is a bit strange.

"I don't like you!"

Gu Siwei spread his hands, looking helpless.

How annoying Director Wu was in the past, and how hated Gu Siwei is now.

With a puff, the middle-aged man in his thirties laughed.

"I didn't say anything. Your stuff is good. If the price is right, I'll take it. It has nothing to do with Director Wu. I want it," said the middle-aged man.

"According to the market price, otherwise there is no need to talk about it," Gu Siwei said.

What Gu Siwei means is that if you buy my meat, you have to give me a meat ticket. Just give me money and go wherever the excitement is.

"It's not cheap."

The thirty-year-old was a little hesitant.

Gu Siwei opened his mouth and said: "I got these at a risk. They are not raised at home, but caught in the mountains. The price of the ones raised at home is the same. The same price as mine caught in the mountains is reasonable. You earn it, don’t you think it’s unreasonable?”

"That being said, this thing is still a bit expensive."

Although this guy doesn't know the exact market price, he also understands that what the farmers sell is worthless.

The current era is so strange, there is a shortage of food everywhere, and people all over the country don’t have enough to eat, but the food grown by farmers is worthless, and the food sold can’t be exchanged for a few dollars, which can only maintain the minimum consumption of the family.

It's just that Gu Siwei won't suffer this loss, and he has the same idea as the farmer at this time. This kid is determined to change if he can, and if he can't change, he can grab it.
