Back to 1980: Please Love Me Again

Chapter 15 Li Guofu's Happy Event
Tonight, Zhao Wenmu came to credit again!
Uncle Chen didn't say anything, it was too late for him to be grateful to Zhao Wenmu!
It is precisely because of following Zhao Wenmu that the eldest grandson's gift money has a clue.

His wife and eldest son are not in good health. The family has been living in a difficult situation these years. Although the eldest grandson is well-behaved and sensible, no one has been willing to marry a daughter into their family.

Seeing that the eldest grandson is 25, the old man is so anxious.

A few days ago, I managed to talk about a family, a family in Xiaowa Village in the mountains. The girl has a good temperament and appearance, and the two children also like each other.

Old Uncle Chen was very happy. The eldest grandson's marriage has not been settled, and he can't rest in peace even if he dies.

But that family also wanted to marry their son, and they had to ask for a bride price of 200 yuan, otherwise they would not agree to the marriage.

In this day and age, it is very common to ask for gift money to marry a daughter, and then use this money to marry a son to a daughter-in-law.

There are even swaps.

That is, one's own daughter marries into the other's family, and the other's daughter marries into one's own family.

No way, poor people are like this.

I don't know how many girls sacrificed their lives for the boy at home.

Zhao Jing married Zhao Wenmu, in fact, how much difference is there from this?

For the time being, the money the old people earned from selling wild game was not divided, and it was all given to Uncle Chen.

Uncle Chen's eldest son just took the money to the other party's house today to make an agreement on the marriage.

The old man's guilt towards his eldest grandson was finally relieved.

He is very grateful to Zhao Wenmu at the moment, not to mention that Zhao Wenmu is only on credit for one day and will pay it back soon.

Zhao Xuehai heard that Zhao Wenmu lent the money to the "lonely hero" Zheng Guangming, and a smile appeared on his stern face.

He kicked Zhao Wenmu.

"You finally did some personnel work this time! That's enough, let's just leave it at that, you Uncle Chen and Uncle Song are not bad for a day or two."

"Okay, thank you everyone!"

The next day, Zhao Wenmu went to the state-run restaurant to deliver goods, but Li Guofu was not there. Wang Youming told him that Li Guofu had gone to the city for a meeting.

"What kind of meeting is Director Li going to the city for?"

Wang Youming has a simple personality, and the two are about the same age. When talking to Wang Youming, Zhao Wenmu is very casual.

Wang Youming smoked the cigarette that Zhao Wenmu handed over, and dragged Zhao Wenmu to hide under the big willow tree by the roadside, obviously wanting to chat a little more.

"It was a meeting at our state-run hotel and guest house in Quancheng City. When Master left, he was so happy that his face was almost wrinkled from laughter."

"Oh, is there anything good?"

"Yesterday, deputy mayor Cheng, who is in charge of sanitation and catering in the city, was full of praise for our game banquet. He said that it can not only reflect our local characteristics, but also increase farmers' income. It can be considered as a business card of Pingyang County. Come together Deputy county magistrate Zhou and deputy director Liu later called Master to talk, and today our city’s state-owned hotel system has a meeting.”

Wang Youming said in a low voice.

This is indeed a good thing.

In his previous life, Li Guofu had to wait for many more years before becoming the director of the state-owned restaurant in Pingyang County.

The current director was getting old and was about to retire. Li Guofu had good qualifications, age, and ability, so he was considered the default successor, but he was cut off by others.

Shengsheng sat on the bench for several years.

In this life, it seems that the old director will soon abdicate for him.

After all, he is now appreciated by the leaders of the leaders.

Of course, officials in this era are still very pragmatic, and they will not blindly throw out any game feast just because of a word from the leader, and they will inevitably conduct some investigation and demonstration.

Pingyang County has unique conditions and is indeed suitable for the development of game industry.

Zhao Wenmu felt that there would probably be no accidents in this matter.

He patted Wang Youming on the shoulder and said mysteriously:

"Don't worry, your master's good news is coming soon."

Wang Youming couldn't think of that much, he just scratched his head and smiled.

Sure enough, when he arrived at the state-run hotel the next day, Li Guofu was already waiting at the door.

There was unconcealable joy in his brows and eyes, that fat face, sitting on the lotus platform, looked like a smiling Maitreya.

"Director Li, what a good thing, it makes you so happy!"

"Xiao Zhao, good news, great news!"

He dragged Zhao Wenmu aside to talk, while Zhao Wenyuan and Wang Youming unloaded and weighed the goods.

"Xiao Zhao, the city plans to promote wild vegetable banquets in thirteen state-run restaurants in the city. From now on, you will also supply the wild vegetables in two state-run restaurants in the city!"

Ah, what a big pie fell from the sky!

"Thank you so much, Director Li!"

Zhao Wenmu knew that Li Guofu must have won this for him. Although Quancheng City is very close to Pingyang County, it is definitely not the best choice for the city's state-run restaurant to transport wild vegetables from Pingyang County.

But they agreed anyway.

"This is all in exchange for the recipes and slogans you taught, and you deserve it."

Even so, without Li Guofu's efforts, he would definitely not be able to secure such a large order.

Zhao Wenmu expressed his thanks repeatedly, but Li Guofu stopped him.

"It should be me thanking you!"

"Oh, how do you say that?"

Although Zhao Wenmu had guessed a general idea, he still followed the other party's words.

Li Guofu lowered his voice:
"Deputy Director Liu came to talk to me, and the organization decided that after Director Zhang retires, let me take over as the director of our county's state-owned hotel."

He paused and continued:

"A few days ago, Lao Zhang whispered to me that someone was going to come to our place. I'm afraid that there are other arrangements for the director's position. Let me be mentally prepared. Now I'm suddenly asked to take over. It's all thanks to the wild game feast. , I have to thank you!"

He said this from the bottom of his heart. When he heard the news two days ago, he was still depressed for a long time. He has worked hard for 20 years, but someone else will take away the fruits of victory. It is difficult for anyone.

Now not only has the post of director been regained, but he has also been appreciated by the leaders and has a broader stage of life.

Zhao Wenmu waved his hands quickly, with a serious and sincere expression.

"Director Li, your promotion is due to your outstanding work ability and outstanding performance. It is the result of decades of hard work, and it is not due to my few wild vegetables!"

This is also true, even if there is no wild vegetable feast, Li Guofu will be promoted sooner or later.

Li Guofu smiled and patted Zhao Wenmu on the shoulder.

Young people are so nice to speak.

"From now on, you can still deliver the wild vegetables to the state-run restaurant every morning, but the time must be before eight o'clock, and I will arrange a car to send them to the city."

"The state-run restaurant in the county weighs 120 catties a day, and the two state-owned restaurants in the city add up to 280 catties a day. The total is 400 catties. Do you think there is a problem?"

Zhao Wenmu was very satisfied with this amount. The state-run hotel needed a lot of money, and it was a stable income.

He suddenly thought of something.

"Director Li, can the state-run restaurant give me a letter of introduction, explaining that wild vegetables and game are provided in response to the needs of state-run restaurants at the city and county levels."

"The amount needed is relatively large now. My family alone can't dig so much. If you buy it from other villagers, as you know, there are still some risks."

Although the letter of introduction from the state-run hotel is not as good as the government approval, it still has a high degree of credibility on the production team side.

In this day and age, there is not much difference between state-run and government.

Li Guofu thought about it for a while, so he gave Zhao Wenmu a letter of introduction with the official seal of the state-run hotel.

It is clarified that Zhao Wenmu is supplying the state-owned restaurants in the city and county, and all production teams are requested to cooperate.

In this way, he is not afraid that someone will trip him up.

After all, the Zhao family has been digging wild vegetables and entering the city these days, and it is impossible to keep the matter of buying wild game secret. Some people in the village have begun to notice them.

Especially Li Ergou and his group.

Zhao Wenmu had already noticed that he and Sun Daqing were staring at him furtively, and these people were afraid they were going to play tricks.

Zhao Wenmu put away the letter of introduction carefully.

The hole card is to be used to kill in one hit, so it cannot be easily shown to others!

"By the way, the matter of wild game is still being discussed in the county, and there is no conclusion yet, but the state-owned restaurant is still buying normally."

Li Guofu continued.

"Is the county concerned about the sustainability of wildlife?"

Zhao Wenmu asked a question.

"That's right. The county government organized several experts to demonstrate that they are worried that overhunting will affect the ecological environment, and if all the animals are hunted, there will be no game feast. But there should be a plan soon, and this matter must be done. Do it, just see how it is done.”

It is still 1980, when the county government made decisions, it had already considered the possible consequences in a few years or even decades, instead of just considering the immediate interests. This foresight really moved Zhao Wenmu.

He decided to sort out the suggestions for the industrialized breeding of hares and fish after returning home and send them to the county.

Pingyang County has many mountains and rivers, so it is a wise choice to develop aquaculture and fruit industry.

In the previous life, Pingyang County did not start to develop aquaculture and fruit cultivation until the beginning of the 21st century. In just over ten years, its fruits became famous all over the country.

This time, the time may be earlier.

When he left the state-run restaurant, Zhao Wenmu had another 346 yuan and 7 cents in his hand.

扣除赊欠的野味款102块4毛，大家伙儿的工资92块，还剩下154块3。

Just bought a sewing machine!

He went to see it yesterday, and the best Butterfly brand sewing machine sells for 136 yuan.

Zhao Wenmu happily ran to the supply and marketing cooperative, and sold cash, sewing machine coupons and industrial coupons without hesitation.

Three turns and one sound, four missing and three missing!

Zhao Wenyuan was also very excited. He looked at the dark body of the sewing machine and dared not touch it at all.

I'm afraid it will be ruined.

There is no sewing machine in Shanqian Village!

Only the village chief's house has a bicycle, nothing else!
In the end, people from the supply and marketing cooperative helped Zhao Wenmu lift the sewing machine onto the bullock cart.

Zhao Wenyuan was timid and didn't know what to do.

Zhao Wenmu also bought a few firecrackers and two catties of the cheapest hard candy.

Wealth and honor do not return to their hometown, like clothes embroidered at night, who knows!
If you are promising, of course you have to let the whole village know about it, otherwise people will think you are still a bum.

It doesn't matter if you look down on yourself.

He didn't like those elderly elder sisters and aunts in the village looking at Zhao Jing with pity.

I don't even like those who are not as beautiful as Zhao Jing, secretly arrange Zhao Jing and watch Zhao Jing's jokes.

Because of him, Zhao Jing was pitied and ridiculed by others.

From today,

He wants to make her the envy of people!
However, I always feel like I forgot something.
