Reborn to be rich

Chapter 25

Uncle Wu's operation was very successful, and the gastrectomy was much less than planned. Seeing Uncle Wu being sent back to the general ward, Zhang Guodong was relieved.Uncle Wu passed away early in his previous life, and he changed his fate in this life. I don't know if it will cause a butterfly effect.

After a day, Uncle Wu was still awake, so Zhang Guodong and others became a little anxious. The doctor said that it might take a few days for the body to wake up. Zhang Guodong wanted to go home, and the family business was not completely over yet!
"Wen Bin, the village will have to pay the public grain these few days, and your third uncle has to urge the team to pay the grain. I told Guotao about your wheat when I left. It should be almost enough now. Today we I will go back first, and you will take care of Uncle Wu here first. If you have anything to do, go to Chengxi Bus Station to find Wu Guangmin, just say that you are my younger brother and he will help you. Then it is 100 yuan. Don’t be afraid to spend it in the hospital. Money, after paying the public rations, I will discuss with my fifth aunt whether we can let Wenjuan replace you." On Wen Bin, the money Zhang Guodong gave a few days ago has not been spent, and seeing that his cousin gave him another hundred, he hastily shirked it, but Zhang Guodong still insisted. Let his men, in the city without money is not enough.

After taking a last look at Uncle Wu who was still asleep, Zhang Guodong and his father got on the bus and walked to Chengxi Bus Station.

The driver who drove the morning shift today was naturally Wu Laosan. Zhang Guodong told him about Uncle Wu and his cousin. He said that he would help if there was something wrong. Zhang Guodong.

"A few days ago, I told my elder brother what the two of us discussed!"

"What did Boss Wu say?" Zhang Guodong knew that Boss Wu was a smart person, and as long as he was reminded of ways to make money, he would be able to figure it out.

"My elder brother asked me to study hard with you. If you have financial difficulties, he can lend you." Wu Laosan didn't have the ease of the previous few days today. After returning, he thought about the contact with Zhang Guodong, and finally he could only use foresight Four words to describe.

Boss Wu already wants to pull Zhang Guodong into his lineup. Zhang Guodong still likes this way of cooperation. How we get along in the future depends on the strength of both parties. For people like the Wu brothers, Zhang Guodong is not really Resentment, he thinks that no matter what he does, he can do it with a conscience.

"Give me the kindness of Boss Wu. When the money is insufficient, I will definitely ask him. If I have time, I will also invite him to our Zhangjialing. We have a meeting there every July [-]th, and then I will treat him as a treat. "

Going home this time, Wu Laosan also confiscated Zhang Guodong's father's bus ticket. Zhang Chenglin just nodded politely to Wu Laosan when his son called this villain whom everyone feared. He believed in his son's own opinion.

After returning to the county seat to get the bicycle, Zhang Guodong bought some fermented glutinous rice and snacks for children in the county seat, and took his father across Zhangjialing.

Many people in Zhangjialing have almost harvested their wheat, and most of them have finished milling the wheat and drying it in the wheat field. In the wheat field of the fifth uncle's house, Zhang Guotao walked in the front with a roller, and the second brother and Heizi's father were on the two sides. Helping him pull, many people in the wheat field are starting to turn the stalks, and most of the second team have come.

Zhang Guodong hastily stepped forward to replace Heizi's father, and the three brothers sped up immediately, and within 10 minutes a wheat grind was over.

"This is two wheat stalks. It is enough to grind two wheat stalks this year. Our Yang Hao's wheat is drying in your wheat field! Today is over after a busy day!" Fifth Aunt wiped the hair on her head. Khan, while talking to Zhang Guodong, he refrained from asking about his husband's condition. The harvest of wheat at home is already late, and some wheat grains have fallen into the field, so there is no way.

As time entered the end of June, the wheat of all households in Zhangjialing Village had basically been harvested, and the team leader had issued a public grain task to each team, 6 catties per mu in the upper field, 70 catties per mu in the middle field, and 50 catties per mu in the lower field, the same as in previous years , Zhang Guodong’s family’s 30 mu of land belongs to Shangtian, and there are 21 mu of sloping land in the ditch belonging to Zhongtian, where corn is grown every year.

"Our family harvested a total of 5680 catties of wheat, 21 catties of wheat on the 1470 acres of hills, and 250 catties of wheat in the ditch, a total of 1720 catties. After paying the public grain, there are 3960 catties left, which is about 500 catties more than last year. "Zhang Chenglin borrowed a scale from the brigade, and the father and son went through all the bags of wheat, and then selected the largest and whitest wheat to be handed over to the public rations. The public rations in the village only accept the cleanest good wheat. , if the grain inspector fails to pass the inspection, the wheat needs to be returned and re-prepared. Not to mention, there will be a certain penalty in the village. After three inspections, you can only pay money, so all farmers will take out the best wheat in their homes for more drying. A few days, hoping for a one-time pass.

This is the time to highlight the relationship between candidates in a village. It is very tiring to go to the village for 12 miles and only rely on a pole. If the neighbors have a shelf cart, everyone will gather together. Each family will send out a labor force to take turns to send all the wheat from each family to the grain station in the village. , and the family that got out of the shelf car was the first to be transported, and the other families would rush to work in order to pull their own wheat as soon as possible.

Zhang Guodong originally planned to help Uncle Wu weigh the wheat and select the wheat to send to the grain station in the village, but before he packed his own wheat, three neighbors helped them weigh the wheat, a total of 3 catties, which was cheaper than Zhang Guodong's family on average. If it is less, the public grain that the two families have to pay is about the same.

Aunt Wu and her three neighbors have already left with their own wheat. Zhang Guodong and his son also set off. They have no intention of asking others to help. The second brother has already made a reservation to borrow the grain cart from Guodong's family today.

A shelf truck can only pull 700 catties of grain at most, and it will be difficult to control if it goes uphill or downhill. Zhang Guodong’s first car is loaded with 600 catties. The father and son Zhang Guodong pulls in front. Only when going uphill, his father and second brother are there Push from behind.

When we arrived at the grain station in the village, there were already dozens of vehicles queuing up, but more people were still carrying them on poles. Everyone in front had checked the grain and weighed it. After waiting for more than an hour, it was Zhang Guodong's turn.

"The name of the village, several teams, and the head of the household!" the grain collector asked habitually.

"Zhang Jialing Second Team Zhang Chenglin!" Zhang Chenglin stepped forward and returned.

"The wheat is not bad, it's very clean, and it's quite dry. It's 602 catties and it's still 1118 catties."

Hearing the grain harvester say that the wheat has passed, the three of them couldn’t help but feel relieved. Every year, the probability of the grain station opening up to the sky will not exceed 50%. Most of them need to go home and re-select the grain. Sifting large grains of wheat from one's own granary bit by bit, it may not be possible to survive like this.

Zhang Guodong did not let his father continue to follow the remaining 500 catties. He and his brother pushed the cart to the village to pay the food. They saw a large restaurant opened in front of the township government. Zhang Guodong remembered this restaurant. It will be the best hotel in Ganjing Township in the next 20 years.

"Brother, you said that after the silver dollars are sold, you can take me to the Qilin Building for a big meal when Uncle Wu recovers from his illness. I won't go to the Qilin Building today, so you can just take me here for a meal." Eat at noon After eating for two hours in the afternoon, Zhang Guodong looked at the 50 yuan in his pocket, which must be enough, so he entered the "auspicious restaurant" with his brother.

"What do you two want to eat? We have all kinds of pasta and cold dishes here..." A tall and handsome girl said when she saw the two brothers approaching. She seemed to have just graduated from junior high school and was younger than Zhang Guotao. Some.

"Don't you have a menu? Show me." Zhang Guodong sat down and saw a few middle-aged leaders who looked like leaders at the next table ordering food. It seemed that they had been eating for a long time.

"This year the task of the county is very clear. All the main roads in the townships must be open to large vehicles before the end of the year. The county is still worried about the task of 4 tons of yellow stones per household that you have given to each village in the township. Every village has to build roads and work. It doesn’t matter if there are fewer people, but the stone materials must be prepared in place, and now you tell me that many villages cannot hand in stones, how do you want to solve this problem.”

Zhang Guodong heard that these people were discussing the matter of road construction after the summer harvest. They must be the leading cadres in the village.

"Secretary Yao, it's not that our village doesn't do anything. Now the villages still use poles to pick up the public grain. Rack trucks are relatively rare. Even if they dig yellow stones in the ditch, it is difficult to send them to the construction site. Let's see if the county can find a way to get a few cars, and we will go to the villages to pull stones, and I believe everyone can hand them in." The township leader next to Secretary Yao said in embarrassment while picking up vegetables.

"Problems can be found everywhere. Which of the more than ten townships in the county is not like this, and the county can't afford it! As township leaders, we have to find a way to solve the problem." Secretary Yao interrupted their thoughts of looking for the county. At this time, everyone fell silent. To do something in this poor and messy Ganjing Township, solving the poverty of the people is the most important thing.

Zhang Guodong was thinking about the problem. The waiter took the menu and handed it to him. He opened it and saw that there were quite a lot of vegetables. He ordered a dry fried fish and a green bamboo shoot and fungus, and then gave the menu to Zhang Guotao. Zhang Guotao It was the first time I ate at this kind of restaurant with a menu, and I had to carefully look at the pictures of each dish. At the end, I added two more meat dishes, and then I drank tea and waited expectantly.

The people at the table next to them talked about road construction to stones, and finally the problem came down to the transportation of yellow stones. Zhang Guodong had a general understanding of the road construction in the village this time.

"Having all the villagers use loaders to carry stones will be labor-intensive. The militiamen in the village need to keep an eye out for conflicts in the villages at all times, and immediately arrest those who provoke trouble. You should discuss it with the captains of the villages and try to make them feel safe. The yellow stone will be delivered as planned." Secretary Yao finally concluded, and the others nodded in agreement.

A thought suddenly came to Zhang Guodong's mind. Ganjing Township didn't have a tractor until now, and the villagers of Huangshishi required by the village would definitely not gather all of them this time. There must be a big gap in the stone by then. This is the best opportunity.

Zhang Guodong found a gap between the conversations of the few people next to him. He ordered a bottle of "Lao Sanqin" for 6 yuan at the restaurant counter, and came to the table next to him.

"You... aren't you the guy who sold hares in the county last time? Why haven't I seen you again recently? You are also from Ganjing Township! What a coincidence!" Secretary Yao smiled happily. He had a good impression of Zhang Guodong.

"Last time, I didn't know that Secretary Yao was the leader of the county. It's really fate to meet you here today! Come on, I'll pour a glass of wine for all the leaders..."

"Haha, what's the purpose of this little slicker? Stop drinking for a while, and tell me what's going on!" The secretary was asked to go to the countryside to understand the conditions of the country, and it was also his duty to listen to the voices of the people.

Seeing that Zhang Guodong actually knew Secretary Yao, the others didn't dare to underestimate him, and they all looked at him with smiles.

"Leaders, I am from Zhangjialing Village. Just now I heard some leaders say that there is no means of transportation for road construction in the village. Many villagers have to pay for the stones and have to buy them, right? I don't know whether to pay for the stone or not. How does the township plan to fill the gap?"

Zhang Guodong speaks easily and speaks methodically. A frail young man in his early 20s heard this and said:

"We plan to buy it from Binzhou County, but the asking price there is 30 yuan per meal. In this way, the villagers will pay less for more stones, and the township government will not be able to afford it. We are now working on this matter. Worrying!" The young man's words were very gentle, but he gave off a sense of irrefutable, he should have a high status in Ganjing Township.

"In this case, if I can find someone to send the yellow stone to the place where the township government needs it, what price can the township give me?"

It was only then that everyone heard that Zhang Guodong was planning to do business with him. Township cadres generally like to support such people. After all, being able to be a leader in a township is not ordinary villagers in terms of education level or cognition. Comparable.

"That's right! I found the point of the problem just after listening to a few words from us. Your idea is correct, but the township will definitely not give you 30 yuan. Mayor Dou, there are people in my township who are willing to contribute to road construction. We Do you still want to promote it? How can a family earn realistically if you earn money from outsiders. I think you can talk more later when you have nothing to do." Secretary Yao picked up the wine Zhang Guodong poured on the table and drank it down. A double respect for all the leaders present.

"It goes without saying that Binzhou is still unwilling to send the yellow stones. They are responsible for the later compaction of the road. If you send the stones, I will give you 18 yuan for a meal. Don't." The head of the township is the main person in charge of this road construction. He was assigned to Ganjing Township two years after graduating from Northwest University of Political Science and Law. He is a rare practical talent in the township.

Zhang Guodong was not surprised that the price was too low. In fact, it was already very good. The village paid 20 yuan per meal to the township, and the deputy head of the village, Dou, was under a lot of pressure to offer a price of 18 yuan.

Some people may ask Linxian 30 a ton of stones, why is it difficult to get 18 yuan for yourself? This phenomenon is not difficult to see in later generations, why bother in the 80s!
