Siheyuan: There are three little cats at home

Chapter 475 Factory Construction Finalized
After leaving Fangshan and Beihai Park, Li Guohua and Erniu went back to work, and at the same time helped Xu Qing inquire about the news.

Classmate relationship, years of friendship, this little busyness is nothing.

Xu Qing, on the other hand, rode his motorcycle back to his compound in the warm spring breeze.

There was no one in the courtyard today and it seemed quiet.

There were only three aunts in the front yard. Taking advantage of the good weather and warm sunshine, they sat on a small bench holding the washtub that they had used for countless years, rolled up their sleeves, and washed clothes with a washboard.

There were four or five washed items hanging on the clothesline diagonally across the front yard. Water dripped continuously, soaking a large area of ​​the ground.

When Xu Qing passed by while pushing his motorcycle, he said hello to the third aunt and headed towards the middle courtyard.

There are only two people in the middle courtyard, Jia Zhang and Auntie.

Ms. Jia Zhang was sitting at the door of her house, with a high stool under her body. She was holding an insole in both hands and was chatting with the aunt beside her.

Both of them were facing the sun, bathing in the sunshine. When they saw Xu Qing coming back at noon, they looked up and asked.

"Hey, Xiaoqing, your grain station is not busy today."

Xu Qing stopped, leaned his motorcycle against his side, said he was not busy, and briefly chatted with the two of them in the middle courtyard.

The eldest mother rarely does needlework, not because she doesn't use it, but because she and Yi Zhonghai are the only two people in the family.

Unlike other families, there are so many people that the sewing work is busy all year round and never ends.

Xu Qing saw the insole in Jia Zhang's hand and saw that it was embroidered with a pattern of mandarin ducks playing in the water, and knew that it was for Banggeng's wedding.

Banggan is about to start a family, and Jia Zhang is her grandmother, so how can she not be attracted to her.

BangGeng has been treated like a baby bump by her since he was little.

Especially after Jia Dongxu passed away, Bangge, as the only male in the Jia family, was even more precious.

Who dares to say a harsh word to Bangge, Jia Zhang can stick up his butt and scold him in the courtyard for ten days.

Even Qin Huairu is no exception.

At that time, Mrs. Jia Zhang looked at everyone with side eyes and a mean look on her face. Anyone who dared to make irresponsible remarks about her family, even behind her back, would have to be punished in the courtyard as long as she listened to them afterwards. You cannot make a fuss for two or three months.

When Xu Qing returned to the backyard where he lived, he saw grandparents with handicapped legs sitting in the backyard basking in the sun, just like the old ladies in the yard.

It seems that older people like to come out for some fresh air during the rare good weather.

Two little guys, Xu Hongfu and Xu Qiaoxin, each holding a cane in their hands, filled the yard with Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu's daughter and son, chasing Xiao Hui, the civet cat that had been tortured for more than half a year.

The second aunt is now a grandmother. She and Aunt Feng were standing in the backyard. The two of them were talking and staring at the children.

When Aunt Feng saw Xu Qing coming back at noon, she didn't know whether she had eaten or not. She stopped chatting with the second aunt and quickly turned to Xu Qing and said:

"I didn't know you would be back at noon today, so I will cook for you."

Xu Qing responded: "Aunt Feng, no need, I've eaten outside."

When Aunt Feng heard what Xu Qing said, she didn't go back to the house, but turned around and picked up the feather duster placed on the window sill outside the house, and helped Xu Qing dust off the dust on his body.

When the second aunt saw Xu Qingda coming back at noon, she knocked the oil sunflower seeds in her hand and said:
"Xiao Qing, life is really good for your family now. Sister Feng helps you and the Aiguo family run the house, takes care of your grandparents, and helps you take care of your children.

Both of your brothers work, and I heard that Feng Ming is doing well outside. Look, in our courtyard, your family is the most comfortable. Even if you invite people, you can still come back to rest in the middle of the day. rest. "

After the second aunt finished speaking, she changed the subject and sighed: "Well, my three sons are not good. The eldest is doing better outside than Guangtian and Guangfu, but he has been away from home for several years. He comes back during the New Year. They left again, and I don’t know when the three of them will be able to let me and your second uncle enjoy the happiness."

Seeing the second aunt say sourly, Xu Qing touched the little head of his daughter Qiaoxin who ran to him and said:

"Second aunt, if you want to enjoy the blessings of my second uncle, why don't you invite someone to come back tomorrow? Let your three sons share the money equally. Each of you will pay more than ten yuan a month. Your eldest son is not here, and Guang Tian Didn't Liu Guangfu and Liu Guangfu move back in?"

When the second aunt heard this, she stopped knocking Youkui and said with a bitter face:

"Forget it, my third son is not as filial as your four brothers and sisters. Feng Ming and Xiaoya come back to the courtyard every week to see my eldest son. In the past few years, he only comes back to see me and your second uncle occasionally during the Chinese New Year.

Guangtian and Guangfu have disappeared since they moved out a few years ago. This year, they both moved back. But look, Guangfu wants to build a house, and as soon as he reaches out, he asks me and your second uncle for money. , saying that the money he earns is not enough to support his wife and children, Guangtian will not help your second uncle to persuade his brother, and even joins in to make noises, saying that his family can't open the pot and needs money, how can we count on them. "

When Xu Qing saw the second aunt pouring bitterness on him, he suddenly had no intention of listening any more.

After dealing with it casually, he took his daughter and Aunt Feng and turned around and walked towards the grandparents in front of the door of his house.

The two old people smiled when they saw their eldest grandson coming back. Xu Qing parked his motorcycle and sat aside, talking and relaxing with his grandparents.

He has nothing to do today. He will come back at noon to take a rest and then go to the warehouse to have a look in the afternoon.

There was no rush to open a meat joint factory and he had to take his time. He would wait for the letter for the next two days.

But he knew that it wasn't a big problem, it was just a little complicated.

After the reform, since the state encourages self-reliance, a number of industrial lands will definitely be planned for economic construction in the suburbs outside the city.

What is complicated is whether the land allows for the construction of a meat factory, as well as the approval procedures for the meat factory.

Li Guohua and Er Niu can help, but he also has to go socialize.

Treating guests to dinner, drinking bureaus, etc. are indispensable.

After all, running a factory is different from opening a grain station. It’s not just about size, it involves many problems.

In particular, the establishment of a meat joint factory is tantamount to touching the cake of several meat joint factories established by the state.

If those state-owned meat factories unite and boycott, they may not even be able to open.

If he wanted to go smoothly, Xu Qing knew it was impossible.

As expected, he received a call home from Li Guohua in the evening, saying that there was industrial land allocated in the suburbs and there would be no problem in setting up a factory.

However, the Land Management Office said that the use of the land to run a meat processing plant was subject to discussion and a meeting would be held to discuss it.

Li Guohua did not explain why the other party wanted to discuss it on the phone, but Xu Qing knew the reason in his heart.

Three days later, Xu Qing asked Li Guohua to invite the commune secretaries of Sanhuzi's townships and the people from the soil management office to Quanjude. They had a meal and talked about the idea of ​​setting up a meat factory. Before leaving Quanjude, Each person was given a roast duck.

The next day, Xu Qing received a call from Li Guohua from his work, saying that the suburban soil management office held a meeting and decided to allow the establishment of a meat factory. The documents there had been sent to the soil management office in the city below his work unit. Wait for signature and seal before submitting it.

Things were progressing, and Xu Qing was instantly happy.

However, for the next two days, there was no movement at all.

Xu Qing waited patiently for another three days, but in the end, there was still no news.Over the weekend, Xu Qing invited Yang Suo from the city's soil management office to Lao Mo for discussion.

Yang works at the soil management office in the city and has higher authority than those in the township soil management office.

A roast duck meal was impossible, so Xu Qing specially chose Lao Mo.

For city dwellers, going to Lao Mo for a meal is both high-end and prestigious.

Yang Suo, who was in his early fifties and bald, seemed very excited as soon as he sat down in Lao Mo's restaurant.

Nowadays, not everyone can be an official like Lao Mo, but in the Forty-Nine Cities, there are a lot of officials who go out on the streets. Among ten people, three of them are the same.

Below the department level, he has gone to sea. The top leader of a soil management office does not manage as many people as Xu Qing did when he was the director of the fifth factory. However, because it is an administrative department, he is responsible for his duties (power). Speaking from a distance, it's pretty big.

But the salary package is really not that good.

After all, in Sijiu City, he is just an official the size of a sesame seed, with a monthly salary of more than 100 yuan.

After Xu Qing explained the matter, he mentioned his old classmate Li Guohua and said that he would call him later.

Yang Suo suddenly became restless and said with a smile on his face:

"Comrade Xu Qing, you told me earlier, why are you so polite? I have already signed the documents for the meat joint factory that you want to apply for, but you also know that before this change, there was no one here all year round. , it’s different now. People come to talk to me every day. I’m so busy. I guess the few comrades under me have forgotten. When I go to work tomorrow, I will have people rush to hand over the documents about your opening of the meat factory early in the morning. Go up, it’s a good thing to open a factory, and it’s a meat factory, so I don’t have any objections.”

Xu Qing smiled without saying a word.

The next morning, Li Guohua called Xu Qing from his work phone and said:
"Qingzi, several state-owned meat joint factories heard that you were going to open a new one in the suburbs. They kept calling us all morning and raised objections, saying that their business conditions were not very good. If a private meat joint factory When the factory was opened, it was to steal their business.

Our top leader was so noisy that he lost his mind. Let me rest for a few days while I do some ideological work. I will tell you if I have some news. "

Xu Qing hummed, put down the phone, and ignored the matter for half a month.

He knew very well that it was easy to manage people down below, but not above.

Taking care of the above cannot be done with a meal or a little ceremony.

Coupled with the involvement of several meat factories in the city, the more urgent it is, the more difficult it will be to get it done.

I'll wait for a call from my old classmate Guohua and wait until things come to light.

On April [-]th, Li Guohua came to Xu Qing and said:
"Qingzi, it's almost over. Several meat factories in our city have been in trouble for a few days. The top leaders in my unit can't deal with other things that bother them every day, so they handed over your matter to me. I gave it to that person yesterday. The directors of several meat joint factories held a meeting and conveyed the country's determination to reopen. After all, none of them dared to criticize anymore. I was really exhausted yesterday because of your affairs. Qingzi, hurry up. Take out your good tea leaves and let me drink two more cups."

Xu Qing smiled and said: "Don't mention it. At the end of last month after liberation, everyone was looted and taken away."

Li Guohua lamented, "Liberation is real, I have to leave some for you no matter what, Qingzi, you are the brother-in-law, and my brother-in-law can't even control it.

My brother-in-law, if I say a word, he won't even dare to enter my house. "

Xu Qing handed Li Guohua a cigarette and said:
"How old is your brother-in-law? He's only eight years older than my son. How dare you mention it."

The two chatted and laughed, and Li Guohua said seriously:

"Qingzi, there is something. I have to tell you. Recently, many people want to open a meat joint factory. You are not the only one. You have to think carefully. Don't let others open it when the time comes. Plus the four of us There are several state-owned meat factories in Jiucheng, and the streets are full of meat sellers."

Xu Qing smiled calmly and smoked the cigarette: "It's okay. Isn't that what the country wants? Only when more people work in each industry can it prosper and the economy will improve accordingly. With more meat factories, pig farmers will With more, there will be no need to limit meat consumption in the future, and the planned economy can be transformed into a market economy. For now, it's a good thing."

Li Guohua nodded in agreement.

There was no problem in building the factory. After Xu Qing sent Li Guohua away, he started to recruit people.

Prepare to start construction on a certain date.

Everyone in the compound knew that Xu Qing was going to build a meat factory.

Yan Bugui came back from teaching at Hongxing Primary School in the afternoon. When he saw Xu Qing, he asked:
"Qingzi, how's your factory construction going?"

Xu Qingli said in the front yard: "It's no problem. We just hired people today and the construction will start in two days."

Yan Bugui nodded in response, handed the bag to the third aunt, looked at Xu Qing and said in wonder:
"Xiao Qing, your business is getting bigger and bigger. I used to think that you would become an official, but I didn't expect that you would turn around and start a business. Last year, you opened a grain station, and this year you will open a meat station." In the joint factory, when people in our hospital buy meat, they will come to you."

Xu Qing smiled and said: "Third uncle, when our factory is established, I will take care of whoever wants to eat whatever meat they want."

Yan Bugui said yes with a smile on his face, but he was thinking secretly in his heart.

The Xuqing Grain Station has just been opened for a year, so how can it get so much money to set up a factory?

Just the eyes hidden behind the lenses rolled, and he immediately thought that Xu Qing's three brothers were now married and starting a business.

The development is good.

Although Aiguo and Fengming had only been married for a few years, their official positions were higher than the other.

Xu Qing may not have that much money on his own, but if three brothers put it together, it would still be enough.

Coupled with the three Xu Qing brothers, they all come into contact with capable people.

Even if you borrow money, you can probably raise it.

Yan Bugui didn't say anything about what he wanted to do.

On the one hand, it was because Xu Qing could borrow money and didn't need his three melons and two dates at all.

On the other hand, Yan Jiecheng took Yu Li back from get off work on his bicycle. He didn't want to reveal all his savings in front of his son and daughter-in-law.

As soon as Yan Jiecheng pushed his bicycle into the courtyard, he said to Xu Qing:
"Hey, Qingzi, how's your factory construction going?"

Xu Qing said he would start construction immediately, and Yan Jiecheng grinned and said happily:
"Qingzi, it's okay. You are very efficient. Construction is about to start."

Yu Li stood next to Yan Jiecheng, glanced at her man, and said:
"Do you think Qingzi is as useless as you?!"

Yan Jiecheng turned his head and glared back at Yu Li, his face a little confused.

After all, he is a big man, but his wife would not feel good if she said that to him in front of outsiders.

After parking his bicycle at the door of the house, Yan Jiecheng said nothing, turned around and opened the door curtain with a sullen face, and entered the house.

Seeing this, Xu Qing stopped staying in the front yard and pushed his motorcycle back to his backyard.

However, at this time, Xu Aiguo came back from get off work. Seeing his eldest brother, he said hello to Yan Bugui, and the two brothers went back to the backyard together.
