Restarting life in Siheyuan

Chapter 99 Jia Zhang is greedy

Chapter 99 Jia Zhang is greedy

Zhu Xuefeng was very aware of the geographical advantages in the mountains and put forward many targeted ideas. Second Uncle Zhu reported them one by one, including what Niu Cun had seen.

The village cadres held an enlarged meeting, and the second uncle reported. Now that he has witnessed it with his own eyes, it seems that the students' suggestions are not impossible.

Sure enough, at this cadre meeting, everyone's attitude has changed greatly. Who doesn't want to have a full stomach, a little change in his pocket, and a better life at home.

In the end, the village party secretary and the village chief jointly decided to start based on the Niucun model. As for further land reclamation and development of the ravine, we had to wait until the village party secretary and the village chief came back from another inspection.

No, the second uncle came directly with the village party secretary and village chief. The two village cadres didn't even care about the village, and they were still very ambitious.

"Second uncle, two gentlemen, please come in and talk."

"Secretary and village chief, I really welcome you two to our home. If you need help with anything, just ask."

"Xue Feng, that's right. You are still concerned about the situation in the village in the city. You, Mr. Zhu, are really thoughtful. Let's chat later and take a look first."

The second uncle was still a little reluctant, feeling that it was causing trouble to the eldest nephew. After all, there were three children and three adults.

"Xiao Feng, my second uncle is here to disturb your review again, but the development of the village cannot afford to be delayed, so don't blame your uncle."

The second uncle carried a bag of fruits and a bag of dried mushrooms this time. Zhu Xuefeng quickly helped unload them and asked his younger brothers and sisters to make tea for the three of them. The tea was given by Director Zhang.

"Second uncle, as you said, one family will not speak two different languages. We will be happy if the village can develop and the villagers can live a good life."

The second uncle had just been here not long ago, and there were no new changes. We only chatted briefly. The second uncle quickly asked Zhu Xuefeng to explain the development ideas to the village party secretary and village chief.

I have said it myself, but I always feel that I don’t understand many things. When I ask, I still get stuck. This is the main reason why the village party secretary and village chief insist on coming in person.

The village party secretary and the village chief were looking up and down at the Zhu family's house. They had to give each other time to meet relatives, and they couldn't just come up and ask questions.

Then came the discussion of the village's development plan. Zhu Xuefeng described Niucun's methods and changes one by one, and also mentioned Zhugezhuang's geographical advantages.

Water is scarce in large areas but not in small areas. In addition to hawthorns, a variety of fruit trees and sunflowers can be planted along streams in the mountains, which can greatly increase the village's income.

You can also grow a lot of food to solve the problem of hunger. The biggest problem with planting by the stream is that there is no one to guard it, and wild animals may destroy it. The village party secretary said that militiamen can be arranged, and Zhu Xuefeng swallowed what he said.

Build small water conservancy facilities and breed freshwater fish and shrimp with good water quality. In fact, Zhu Xuefeng wanted to suggest breeding rainbow trout, but this also requires feed, but the fish species are still abroad, so we have to wait for the opportunity. (There was breeding in Heilongjiang in 1958, but many people didn’t know about it, let alone Zhu Xuefeng)

The few people discussed for a long time and finally stayed at Lao Zhu's house. Early the next morning, after breakfast, they took the steamed buns and letters prepared by Zhu Xuefeng and took the car directly to Niucun to learn the scriptures.

"Zhu Xuefeng, the people who left just now are your relatives."

After seeing the three people off, they returned to the front yard and met the third uncle who was going to go fishing with a cart.

"Good morning, Third Uncle. Just now, my second uncle and the village chief secretary had something to do. They were here not long ago."

"Oh", the third uncle thought thoughtfully, lowered his head and pushed the cart away.

On the third day, the three of them came back from the practice. They were eager to go back and try it out. Everyone else was doing well, so why couldn't they do it themselves?

Zhu Xuefeng didn't try to persuade him to stay. He said goodbye the next day and gave his second uncle some rice and 30 yuan. He just carried the quilt back not long ago, which was considered a huge favor, and his second uncle said nothing. "Second uncle, I asked you to give this money to third aunt. I forgot last time. This little rice is not much. I will just go back and make porridge."

The second uncle didn't want the grain, but the village party secretary finally spoke, and the second uncle reluctantly carried it. Zhu Xuefeng took it to the bus station, bought a ticket, and watched the car drive...

"Come back when you have time before going to work!"

Zhu Xuefeng nodded, he had to go there...

Afternoon in the courtyard
Mrs. Jia Zhang was sitting at the door, gluing the matchbox for a while, when she saw Qin Huairu coming back. It was a little strange. Qin Huairu went to the small restaurant before going to work. She basically went out early in the morning and also at noon. I had a work lunch at a restaurant and waited until everyone left before I could go home and cook. Why did I come back this afternoon?

Seeing that Qin Huairu was empty-handed, he was a little disappointed, so he got up, packed up his things, and went back to the house together.

"I said to his wife, since you went to work in the restaurant, this idiot's lunch box is no longer available. He hasn't seen meat in the past half month. I really don't want it. These two children are growing tall. , without oil and water, it’s too much to bear.”

Qin Huairu didn't answer. She got off work too late and couldn't wait for Shazhu. There was no point in being anxious. She couldn't just tell Shazhu directly, don't eat it, keep it for me.

I lowered my head and went to the kang to clean up Banggan and Xiaodang's dirty clothes. I have changed my clothes frequently this summer, so I thought I would wash them in a while while I have some free time, otherwise I would have to cook and do laundry when I come back at night. I work very late every day and have to get up early the next day.

"I said his wife, did you hear me?"

"You also work in a restaurant. Why can't you be like Silly Zhu and bring back a lunch box every day, not every day or every two days? Bring some meat dishes to satisfy the children's cravings."

Sweeping the streets during this period has really killed Jia Zhang's life. The food at home has plummeted in the past two months, and she has lost weight. Qin Huairu works in the nearest restaurant again, and she has no place to steal anything. , it’s really hard.

"Mom, you really think too much. You have to be a cook to carry a lunch box back home. Have you ever seen a dishwasher carrying a lunch box?"

"Besides, why did you come back without asking me? It's because they don't want me to work anymore, so they asked me to come back for a rest on the pretext that there is no one around.

Mrs. Jia Zhang was shocked. Now her family was counting on Qin Huairu to make enough money after working for a month. If her job was gone, there would be no hope for her life.

In the past few months, everyone who begged grandpa and grandma to borrow them has borrowed them, but now it is obvious that they can no longer borrow them.

"Why? These damn people will bully us orphans and widowed mothers. Is Director Wang causing trouble? I've seen him enter Zhu Xuefeng's house. This damn gadget must be him."

Mrs. Jia Zhang gritted her teeth, her triangular eyes emitted a vicious light, she really wanted to bite him to death, send her son in, and not let go of the orphans and widowers at home.

"Probably not. Director Wang helped me find this job. If he was really causing trouble, I wouldn't be able to go there at all. Now the boss in the restaurant thinks my belly is a bit too prominent and I can't bend down to wash dishes. He said if I have If there is any accident, they cannot bear it."

After listening to Qin Huairu's words, Jia Zhang also felt that it made sense. If that was the case, Director Wang was not helping Zhu Xuefeng.

Jia Zhang's little triangle eyes rolled. Without Director Wang to support Zhu Xuefeng, her back seemed to be much stiffer.
