Reborn to be rich

Chapter 15 The Future
The next day, everyone was familiar with the road, and started the day's work early.Although harvesting wheat is hard work, earning money every day is the best motivation for everyone.

The wheat field that Zhang Guodong and his second brother went to was right next to the wheat field where they were resting. From dawn at 5 o'clock in the morning until 12 o'clock in the afternoon, more than half of the 3 mu of land was cut off by the two brothers.

"Brother, there is about an acre left, why don't we go eat after collecting these!" Zhang Guotao has also adapted to the life of Maike. Buried in harvesting wheat.

"Okay, let's see if there is any small field work in the afternoon, and you can harvest more than an acre in the dark." Zhang Guodong has gradually mastered the rhythm and skills of harvesting wheat, and now he feels that his speed is much faster than yesterday. About an acre and a half was harvested, and the second brother also has 7 or 8 points in the process.

At noon, the Liangpi at Maizhu's house was not as good as the elder sister's house yesterday, and there was no soda to drink, but the two brothers ate very happily, and Guo Tao ate three bowls.

In the afternoon, as soon as the two of them stood on the side of the road with a sickle, someone asked to cut wheat for the family. Guodong asked for 1 yuan for a small farm of 9 mu and 12 fen, and the other party did not counter the price.

It is hard work to be a wheat farmer. Every day in the wheat fields, 11 people from Zhangjialing harvested wheat in this village for 3 consecutive days. It was the first time for these young people to do such heavy physical work, and they were all dark. , only Zhang Guodong does the most work every day, but he doesn't tan much, which makes everyone a little different.

On the third night, everyone gathers together to summarize the gains of the past few days. Tonight, the pot helmet brought by Uncle Jiu has been eaten. Tomorrow, Guodong’s family can share some with him and Uncle Shiba. By tomorrow, everyone will have no dry food. .

"When I came here, I saw people buying steamed buns in the village. Tomorrow, we will finish work early and go to the village to buy some! If there is no steamed buns to eat, everyone will not be able to work if they have no energy." Li Ping's father said that in the past, he would not be willing to buy steamed buns. Eat, these three days he earned more than 20 by himself.

"What do you think of Guodong?" Zhang Chenglin is used to asking his son about everything. If it weren't for him, the wheat harvest in the past three days would not have been so smooth. In the morning, Liping's father almost had a conflict with the locals. Guodong solved it.

"Laoyu Township is more than 10 kilometers away from here! Tomorrow I will go to the village and ask someone who can make some pot helmets for us. It must be cheaper in the village, and the steamed buns are not easy to hold and put away."

Several people felt that what Guodong said was reasonable. During these three days, the round trip fare was basically earned. Everyone was more interested in the affairs of the village. Heizi and Wen Bin had been discussing the opportunity to go to the village for dinner last night. OK.

"Then there is nothing interesting in Laoyu Township. I only have a few more restaurants and shops in Ganjing Township. When the wheat harvest in Hu County is over and I arrive in Chang'an City, I will take you for a stroll."

After listening to Guodong's words, several young people laughed happily. They began to chat about the delicious food in Chang'an. Guodong shook his head for a while, and he didn't expose their bragging. With a strong emotion welling up in my heart.

"I must make everyone rich!" Zhang Guodong thought silently.

On the fourth day, everyone got up on time when the first stroke of the sun was shining on the earth. After a simple wash and a little pot helmet, a young man came from a distance on a motorcycle.

At this time, motorcycles were still a rarity. Everyone was curious to see the motorcycle parked in their tent.

"Are you Maike? Do you accept the land in the mountains?" The young man asked Heizi's father with clean clothes.

Everyone looked at Zhang Guodong, indicating that Guodong was everyone's speaker.

"How far? How many lands?"

"Wangning Village, in Bangtou Township, has more than 80 mu. The land is on the hill but very flat."

Guodong of Bangtou Township knows that it is more than 40 kilometers away from here!It already belongs to the area of ​​Xingping County, and Xingping County will become a county-level city in more than ten years, because of the rapid development of greenhouse breeding.

"Bengtou Township, Xingping County? You shouldn't have harvested it yet, right?"

Hearing that Zhang Guodong knew about Bangtou Township, the young man got off his motorcycle and sat on the stone beside him without fear of getting dirty.

"Brother, I won't hide it from you. This year our family contracted a piece of land on a slope. The family members are all in Chang'an City when it's harvest time. I'm anxious. My land is Xintian and the yield is not high. It’s much easier to collect here! More than 10 of you can pack it up just right.” The young man took out a pack of Monkey King, and the cigarettes cost more than 2 yuan a pack at this time.

Guodong waved his hand to signal that he would not smoke, and the young man walked around Zhangjialing, and even the three young people who did not smoke also picked up.

"More than 80 mu is okay, and Xintian will cost at least 4 yuan per mu." Xintian's first-year production is relatively low, and the price is much cheaper.

"Brother, I asked several wheat harvesters, and they all asked me for more than 6 yuan per mu, and there was no guarantee that they would be harvested in a hurry. I am the only one in my family now, can you send me the wheat to the wheat field? I can add money. Don’t worry, the wheat field is only two miles away from the field.”

His request discouraged many people, and there was no Mai Ke who was responsible for delivering the wheat sheaves to the wheat field.

"It's not that we don't want to go, you are in a mountainous area, and you are still so far away, and you have to send the sheaves to the wheat field. We can harvest more wheat when we have time. I'm sorry, you can ask other people if they are willing to go! "

The price of wheat in mountainous areas is not easy to ask for. One mu of land in Xintian can only harvest more than 100 catties at most. Even if the output in Xingping County is high, it will not exceed [-] catties. If there is more demand, people will definitely not want it. What money do you earn!

"One mu of land costs 6 yuan, and the big farm manages three meals a day. You prepare enough for a truck. We collect the wheat and send it back to the wheat farm for you to spread out. It will be collected in four days." Guodong thought for a while and said .

"Okay, six yuan is six yuan! Now you come with me. From today onwards, I will take care of your meals, and I will arrange a place for you to stay in the evening." Young people are not short of money when they drive, in order to bring them back as soon as possible. The family harvested wheat and hired a tractor. Guodong and others threw the salute on the tractor and set off directly. The trip to Laoyu Township was over.

After the tractor drove for more than two hours, Zhang Guodong and others left Hu County and entered Xingping County.

Because Xingping County is very close to Chang'an and Qindu, people here have gradually started planting and breeding industries. On the way, Zhang Guodong saw that some people had already started to store water and raise fish. In addition to ordinary wheat, there were also people planting fruit trees in the fields. , farmers rarely see patches on their clothes.

"Everyone, let's have a meal here first! Our village is still more than ten miles away, and there is no place to sell things in the village."

The young man rode a motorcycle in front, led the tractor to a township street, and ordered a cold meat and two vegetarian dishes in a restaurant.

Everyone is also very happy to meet such a generous master. Heizi can't close his mouth so happy that he is eating meat. There is no need to worry about the Guokui issue. He can find a job that pays three meals a day. Everyone knows that the outside The vastness of the world.

After dinner, the car and tractor continued on the road. After leaving the township, the asphalt road turned into a stone road, and then turned into a muddy dirt road. The road was full of potholes. Everyone was shaken and couldn’t sit in the car. At this time, a black Santana blocked the tractor. the way to go.

"What's the matter?" Zhang Guodong got out of the car and saw Mai Zhu riding a motorcycle negotiating with the driver of the car. The driver looked helpless.

"The car turned off while walking, and then it couldn't start." Mr. Mai said with a bitter face. In order to bring Guodong and others back as soon as possible, he went to the neighboring county to hire a tractor. This road is Go back to the nearest road to your home, and change to other roads for at least 20 miles.

"Can't it start? I'll take a look for you!" Zhang Guodong has been a veteran driver for many years, and he knows some common accidents.

"You know how to repair cars?" The driver saw Zhang Guodong's shabby clothes, looked at him with contempt, and asked.

"know a little?"

"Do you know how much this car costs? Have you ever seen it? If it's repaired, you won't be able to afford it if you sell it." The driver was in a bad mood, but he didn't vent a few words when he met He Lengtouqing.

"Santana 2000, the most I can get is 16! You're right, I can't afford it now, but it's not a problem if you keep letting us go." Zhang Guodong's face was flat, not because of the other party's attitude. And angry.

At this time, the person in Santana's passenger seat opened the car door. He was wearing a white T-shirt and suit pants neatly, giving people a serious and formal feeling.

"What's wrong? Is the problem serious?" The young man who got out of the car ignored the other people on the side and said to the driver.

"I can't start the ignition. I just checked the wiring and there is nothing wrong with it." The driver said timidly.

"How long will it take to fix it?" The young man spoke with a hint of bureaucracy, and Zhang Guodong felt that he must still work in a government department, and his position was not low.

"You must call a professional repairman to repair it..."

He is a special driver for the government, and he is responsible for the problem of the half-way vehicle when the leader went to the countryside to inspect this time.

After the young officials heard this, they returned to the car. Two middle-aged men under the age of 40 got out of the car, and one of them was not angry.

"this is not……"

Zhang Guodong was engaged in the fruit trade in Qin Province in his last life, and he had a lot of contact with government departments. He recognized the person in front of him at a glance.

"Jia Sheng..." Zhang Guodong felt something was wrong the moment he opened his mouth. Now the other party is only in his 40s, and he knows him but the other party doesn't know him.

"Young man, do you know me?"

Jia Qingsen saw that Guodong looked at him with a familiar look, and he seemed to know his surname Jia, so he couldn't help asking curiously.

"I don't know, um..." Zhang Guodong doesn't know how to address him. Jia Qingsen's later generations have done a lot for the people in Qin Province. He pays attention to the development of local characteristic industries and vigorously develops the infrastructure of towns and villages, instead of blindly introducing foreign capital and only looking at the economy. In the 21st century, when many state-owned enterprises were unsustainable and began to be privatized, some local industries that Jia Qingsen presided over showed strong competitiveness. He started to innovate the private economy, and finally he personally helped the economic development of poor areas. He is a rare good official for the people.

"Boys, you are harvesting wheat! The car broke down halfway and blocked your way. I am very sorry!" Jia Qingsen apologized kindly.

"Can you let me see the car, I have repaired the tractor." Zhang Guodong said to the driver, in fact, he told Jia Qingsen that he could ignore other people, but Jia Qingsen was a good official of the people, so he had to help.

The driver looked at Jia Qingsen, and nodded reluctantly. He didn't believe that a mud-legged person knew anything about cars.

Zhang Guodong skillfully opened the hood, and the straw dust was everywhere inside. After cleaning the dust, he checked that there was no problem with the wiring of the batteries, and the oil level of the fuel tank was also normal. After cleaning up the straw, he turned his head and signaled to the driver to try again.

The driver started the car shortly after he got out of the car. He stood awkwardly in front of Guodong with a face of shame, remembering how bad his attitude towards him was just now, and he wanted to apologize but couldn't.

"The straw has strangled the tubing. There are a lot of straw on the road these days. Check before driving!" Zhang Guodong was about to leave after speaking.

"Wait a minute, boy! I'm sorry for my driver's attitude just now! Thanks to you this time, otherwise we would have been thrown halfway. What's your name?" Jia Qingsen's tone was amiable yet majestic. Zhang Guodong couldn't leave directly.

"My name is Zhang Guodong, and I'm from Zhangjialing Village, Ganjing Township, Yongkang County. This time, I went out to harvest wheat with the villagers to earn some money." Zhang Guodong arrived.

"Yongkang County, a poor county in Qin Province! It's not good to stay at home! You have to go out and have a look. There are no big enterprises in Qin City, and the people can only eat from the land."

"Rural people don't have much culture, so they can only sell some hard work. Fortunately, the national policy has improved in the past few years. If they have nothing to eat, they can find ways to do it themselves. Life will always get better and better. I heard that the south has already Open up and build a city, I believe we will get better in a short time."

Jia Qingsen heard Zhang Guodong's words, and suddenly some entanglements in his mind became clear. Now that the country has determined the reform and opening up route, but many local officials are still hesitating. So easy.

"Yes, you have to trust the government! Our country has experienced many hardships and we have overcome them step by step. Everything in the country should be based on the lives of the people. Can you tell me what difficulties you still have that you can't solve?" Jia Qingsen couldn't help but He talked too much, and he himself didn't realize that there was anything wrong with discussing this issue with an 18-year-old youth.

"The main problem is still poverty! Two months before the summer wheat harvest, every family in the village has no food left. In Chang'an and Qindu, they can feed chickens, raise pigs, and sell them to subsidize their families. A small business can make money, and every family in our area is poor and it is difficult to leave there.”

What Zhang Guodong said was very simple, but hearing Jia Qingsen felt like a needle pricked his heart!
