Yanei of Rebirth

"Uncle Wu, is the honeysuckle growing well?"

"Good."

Speaking of honeysuckle, Uncle Wu was very excited.

"According to what you said last time, the brigade has bred another two thousand seedlings, and they are growing very well."

"That's good. If we can harvest three crops of flowers next year, maybe we can have an income of 6000 to [-] yuan." [

Uncle Wu smiled and nodded: "That's right. This is all a good idea from you. It seems that if you study well, you will be promising."

While we were talking, Fifth Aunt came in from outside and saw me here, she was pleasantly surprised and said: "Xiaojun is here? Jincai and Bixiu are back too?"

"Hello fifth lady."

I hurriedly stood up, asked about her respectfully and respectfully, and then answered.

"My parents didn't come back. They have too many things to do and can't spare time. I just came back to see my grandparents and Uncle Wu."

"You're so filial, Xiaojun."

Fifth Aunt nodded repeatedly, seeing the cigarettes and wine on the table, she looked at Fifth Uncle.

"Xiaojun brought it, you put it away."

Uncle Wu said calmly.

"Oh, it's true, it's not the New Year's Eve, why don't you bring something when you go out the door...Old man, you are really confused, just let Xiaojun sit like this, without even pouring a cup of tea..."

I smiled and said, "Wu Niang, I'm not thirsty. If I am thirsty, I can pour tea by myself, and if I dare not work for Uncle Wu, I will be killed."

"This child has such a sweet mouth."

The fifth aunt murmured, tremblingly served cold tea, set out a plate of fried pumpkin seeds at home, and hurried inside to take out a few eggs, opened the stove, and filled a clay pot half-filled with water Boil the eggs.

I was about to say a few words of politeness when Uncle Wu waved his hand and said with a smile, "Xiaojun, leave her alone, let's continue talking. What's your father calling you for?"

Alas, no matter what, Dad told me to come here!Depressed first!

"Uncle Wu, how much will the per capita income of our Liujiashan brigade have this year?"

Uncle Wu may as well ask me about this, and give me a strange look: "Your father asked you to ask this?"

I almost went crazy!

"...Well, it's only been a little over half a year now, so it's hard to say. Last year, each person could get 350 catties of rations... 15 yuan and 6000 cents... This year, I raised 1000 acres of fish, and it is estimated that there are more than [-] catties. Drop half, keep half, can sell for more than [-] yuan..."[

I gasped.

Although he had experienced this era in his previous life, he was a real kid at that time and knew nothing about these data.I just learned a little about it as history in books.Although I knew that the income of the members was not high, the "350 catties ration" and "15 yuan and [-] cents" per capita still made me dizzy.

"Then, how many members are there in Liujiashan?"

"Calculation of men, women and children, about 850."

That is to say, raising [-] mu of fish will only increase the income of more than one yuan per capita.

"Then, how much collective surplus does the Liujiashan Brigade have in total... only cash."

Uncle Wu smiled wryly, a little embarrassed: "450 two yuan and seventy-three cents."

I grabbed the corner of the table to prevent sudden fainting and falling.

"Uncle Wu, going on like this is not an option..."

Uncle Wu looked at me, a little puzzled.The life of the collective has been going on for 30 to [-] years, day after day, year after year, and Uncle Wu has already gotten used to it.I don't know what I mean by that.

When I came to Uncle Wu, I originally wanted to simply discuss the matter of making bricks with him, but now it seems that I have to talk about the future development direction of the Liujiashan Brigade.Uncle Wu has an orthodox concept, if he doesn't get rid of this knot, today's trip might be a waste of time.

"The collective has no surplus, and the members of the commune are even tighter on money. They can't cope with any urgent matters. For example, when Miss Xiaoqing fell ill at Uncle Qi's home last time, she couldn't even afford the medical bills."

Uncle Wu's face became serious: "Xiao Jun, is there any new way in the county? Your father asked you to come and find out about me? Don't worry, as long as it is something that Director Yan and Jin are going to do, no matter what you do, Wu Bo I and the Liujiashan Brigade both raised their hands in favor."

I pondered, and said, "Uncle Wu, it's true that my father and Director Yan didn't call me here... You've heard about the Daping thermal power plant, right?"

"Uncle Wu, have I never heard of such a big commotion? Why is it related to the thermal power plant?"

"Of course it has something to do with it. How many red bricks do we need for such a big factory? Doesn't our Liujiashan brigade have people go out every year to do side jobs and break bricks for others?"

Uncle Wu understood a little bit.

"Yes, there are, and they are all small-scale troubles. I heard that the construction of such a large factory is directly allocated by the central government. Can we use our red bricks?"

I laughed: "Uncle Wu, it's true that the central government has allocated funds. Could it be that the red bricks were also transported from the central government?"

Uncle Wu couldn't help laughing too.

"That's the reason."

"Uncle Wu, to tell you the truth, I have a friend who bought a brick-making machine and thought of setting up a small brick-making factory in our Liujiashan brigade. Do you think it will work?"

Uncle Wu asked, "Your friend?"

"What's the matter, Uncle Wu. I'm young, but no one stipulates that my friends are all children? The brick making machine he bought can produce 5000 yuan adobe a day. It's just that he has a job on the street, and he doesn't It’s time to build a brick factory, so you need your old man to come forward to help.”

"Is there such a good thing?"

I was overjoyed when I heard it, and struck while the iron was hot: "Yes, my friend originally planned to move the brick factory to Daping, which is close to the power plant, and the freight is cheap. It was Jiang Youxin who told him that he wanted to move it to our Liujiashan. "

"Who is Jiang Youxin?"

I smiled lightly: "My dad's secretary."

There is also a saying that Jiang Youxin was thrown out at this time.Let Uncle Wu think that there is a shadow of Dad in the middle.This is called pulling up the tiger's skin as a banner.

Sure enough, Uncle Wu's expression changed.

"Well, how do you set up this brick factory? What rules does your friend have?"

Hehe, after going around for a long time, I finally got to the point.My throat was almost dry, I took a few sips from the teacup, and then said: "Uncle Wu, there are two options to choose from. The first one is to work in partnership. My friend produces brick machines. He joins the group with a minimum of 4000 yuan. The Liujiashan brigade pays for the rest, including the expenses of the members’ labor, which is borne by the brigade, and the dividend is divided in half.”

Uncle Wu frowned: "It's 4000 yuan, if it's split in half, we have to pay that much, even if we can owe the cost of the work, we can pay it when we earn money, and the other money for coal, The money for hiring a car is not a small amount... Tell me about the second method..."

"Come here, Xiaojun, be hungry, eat an egg first."

Just as I was about to speak, Fifth Aunt brought over the hard-boiled eggs, peeled one and handed it to me.

"Thank you Wu Niang."

After tossing for a long time, I am really a little hungry.

"Uncle Wu, the second plan is that my friend pays all the funds, and the brigade just organizes the members to go out to work, burn kilns, load cars, and earn wages...well, the wages are settled every month, and cash...what do you think? Like? Of course, the person in charge of the head will get another salary, my friend means 100 yuan a month.”

I said vaguely while eating eggs.

"How many?"

Uncle Wu stood up with a "huh", his face full of disbelief.The fifth aunt happened to hear it and was also shocked.

100 yuan per month!

My dad, the deputy director of the County Revolutionary Committee, has a monthly salary of just over 50 yuan.As for Wu Bo, the branch secretary of the brigade, his annual subsidy is less than 100 yuan.

"Xiaojun, what you said is true?"

I pretended to be aggrieved: "Uncle Wu, will I coax you?"

Fifth Aunt chimed in: "Yes, Xiaojun is a child, how can he lie to deceive others?"

"Xiaojun, what does that friend of yours do? So rich? Can he even afford a brick making machine?"

"Hey, don't ask me about this old man. Anyway, he is a well-connected person. Otherwise, I wouldn't come to help him talk about this matter."

Uncle Wu nodded understandingly.In his opinion, there are too many talented people on the street.Isn't this nine-year-old nephew in front of him a little capable person?At a young age, he knows a lot.

"That's a good thing. During the slack season, the strong laborers in the brigade can't find anything to do. It's really a good thing to earn a wage. I'm afraid..."

"What are you afraid of?"

"I'm afraid the policy doesn't allow it. This is the road to capitalism..."

I smiled and said, "Uncle Wu, your political awareness is quite high. But think about it, who are we selling bricks to? Selling them to thermal power plants, that is a serious state-supported large-scale project. We , This is called adding bricks and tiles to socialist construction. It is not sold to foreigners, so why is it called taking the capitalist road? Do you think this is the reason?”

In fact, I know that Uncle Wu's concerns are very reasonable. To do this in [-] was indeed against the current policy.However, the construction of thermal power plants does not wait for anyone. We do not sell bricks to him, but others do.

I just want to take advantage of the time difference.As long as we keep it under wraps for the past few months, after the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee is held, the central government's policies will undergo new changes.At that time, even if the private economy cannot be carried out with great fanfare, the environment must be much more relaxed than it is now, and it is absolutely impossible to put the upper line on the line at every turn.

The key is how to cover up.This is the main reason why I am looking for Uncle Wu.

"As far as you can tell."

Uncle Wu smiled, then frowned slightly.It seems that the knot in his heart will not be solved for a while.It's no wonder, after all, we've been engaged in a collective economy for more than 20 years, and I can't be fooled by just a few words from a brat like me.

The fifth aunt was very clever, and said: "Old man, this is a very good thing. If you don't want to come forward, just ask Zhaoyu to come forward."

Zhao Yu is the eldest son of Uncle Wu, about 30 years old, and a capable person.It is indeed more suitable for him to take the lead than for Uncle Wu to go into battle shirtless.

I slapped my hands and said with a smile: "What Wu Niang said is absolutely right. Uncle Wu, you are the branch secretary, and you are afraid of being gossiping. Brother Zhaoyu has no such worries."

"That's right, he's a farmer, not even a production team leader, so why should he be afraid of gossip?"

Fifth aunt continued to encourage.

"It's 100 yuan a month. Where can I find such a good job?"

No matter how high the political awareness of Uncle Wu is, he can't help but be moved when it comes to the future of his own son.

"Then, go and call Zhaoyu back, and let's do the math again."

I smiled slightly, picked up the tea and drank a couple of sips, leaned back in the chair, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Dad, what do you want me to do? Ah, Xiaojun is here?"

Liu Zhaoyu rushed in in a hurry, and before he entered the main room, he started yelling loudly.

I hurriedly stood up: "Brother Zhaoyu, hello."

"Okay. Haha, Xiaojun, why did you come back alone? Is Twelfth Uncle okay?"

"My dad is very nice. He also often talks about you, brother Zhaoyu."

I ate a candy for him.

"Zhaoyu, sit down."

Uncle Wu pointed to the chair beside me.

Liu Zhaoyu sat down as promised, and asked impatiently, "Dad, what's the matter?"

"That's right, Xiaojun has a friend who wants to set up a brick factory in our brigade, and the brick making machines have already been bought..."

Uncle Wu looked at me and briefly recounted the matter.

"Is there such a good thing? That's great, Dad, I think it will work."

Liu Zhaoyu was overjoyed.

"It's good, it's good, I'm afraid it's not in line with the policy!"

"Hey, what are you afraid of? Let's just say that it's the brick factory of the brigade. Who is full enough to take care of this business? Even if there is an opinion from the top, isn't my twelfth uncle still in the county?"

After all, Liu Zhaoyu was young and energetic, so he didn't have so many worries.Besides, the salary of 100 yuan per month is indeed very attractive.

I thought for a while and said, "Well, let me talk to that friend again. In addition to the wages of the members, I also pay some management fees to the brigade. You can tell me the size."

Liu Zhaoyu patted his thigh: "It would be great to be able to do this. As long as the public doesn't suffer, no one has anything to say."

Uncle Wu was also agitated by his son's attitude, and said, "Well, if this is the case, I think it can work. That's it...the management fee, I'm not sure..."

"It's also 100 yuan per month, do you think it's enough?"

I tried to say a number, thinking that if Uncle Wu thought it was too little, I would add another two hundred.

Liu Zhaoyu hurriedly said: "Enough is enough, if you don't do anything, if you do one hundred a month, what else is there to talk about?"

Uncle Wu was displeased, and glared at him, cursing: "Why do you say that you don't do anything? Can you call the people in our brigade? Don't piss and do what you want!"

"Yes, when it comes to this, no one in our brigade can compare to your old man."

Seeing that he has made a lot of money, Liu Zhaoyu didn't care about being scolded at all, and smiled and flattered his father.
