Reborn to be rich

Chapter 44
After discussing to buy a tractor together, everyone finally wanted to invest in it. With the method proposed by Zhang Guodong, no matter how many people are afraid of chaos, Heizi's family and Uncle Yigong's family have already negotiated to buy a 15-horse four-wheel tractor.The second brother went back to his uncle, grandpa and second aunt’s house for a visit, and finally borrowed 3000 yuan, and the second team of 8 families, you 200 and others 500, and finally let and collected 6800 yuan. The money for the 25 four-wheel tractors is all enough.

The second team had all the money for the tractor ready, and they were waiting for Zhang Guodong to go to Chang'an with them tomorrow to pick up the car. The fourth uncle also came to Zhang Guodong's home at this time.

"Your grandpa Berlin sold the three cows in the family and borrowed some more. The money is enough to buy a walking tractor. I don't have any money for the fourth uncle. I borrowed all the money in the team to make up 4000 yuan. This time, the fourth uncle But it's all on you, don't let Fourth Uncle get overwhelmed." Zhang Chengdong joked.

"What Uncle Si said, you heard it at the meeting this morning. The road will be repaired until September next year. Our village next to the ravine is okay. How did the stones come from the villages around Ganjing Township? They are also the first to be watched. There is also the crop of wheat planted every year, which can earn thousands of dollars in a few days."

Tractors are indeed a powerful tool for rural work. In the 80s, those who could borrow money to buy tractors were not poor. Zhang Guodong encouraged everyone to buy more tractors in order to liberate the villagers' minds and take a solid step in the development of Zhangjialing.

Early the next morning, Zhang Guodong took a group of more than ten people from the village to Chang'an to pick up four tractors and started his own tractor. Zhang Guotao, Zhang Wenbin, Wang Le, and Uncle Jiu also followed. The people with the best skills, they drove the car back safely.

"Second brother, you can help second brother to drive for a few days, and you will come back when second brother gets to know you well. Wen Bin, you can follow your fourth uncle, Wang Le, you can go to Uncle Bolin's house, and ninth uncle, you can teach Heizi well these few days. Be careful when learning to drive and don’t cause any accidents.” Zhang Guodong repeatedly asked safety, learning to drive a tractor is easy but driving it steadily is difficult.

The news that Zhangjialing bought four more tractors quickly spread throughout Ganjing Township, especially when the four new tractors were driven to the gate of the township government to receive government subsidies, which made others envious.The Zhangjialing village road has also started to be repaired, and the situation is so huge that many people around feel incredible.

On October 10st, the 1th National Day of China, Zhang Guodong took the whole team of villagers to dig stones by the side of the ditch, which belongs to the low-level cultivated land area of ​​the second team. Zhang Guodong chose some places with the most stones and everyone dug together with the three-tooth stick After digging to the ground, the women used iron rakes to pick out the yellow stones and put them aside, and the loess was piled aside with iron.

"How many carts have you pulled?" Zhang Guodong was sweating profusely. He dug at the front of everyone alone, and the most stones were excavated under his feet. There were more than one ton in one morning, and everyone else looked at him. Enough.

"It's 12 cars, let's get here in the morning! Come back after four o'clock in the afternoon." Sister Li Ping also worked hard behind Zhang Guodong. As a teacher in the village, she is considered a cultural person, and she is responsible for keeping accounts in the team. , Sister Liping is always at the forefront of work.

Stone Road has to lay a thick layer of soil on the road first. Leslie Cheung and Zhang Guotao have been pulling the soil since the morning. Zhang Guodong left the two large tractors in the team, and Heizi and Uncle Jiu’s 15 tractors went to support the third and fourth teams. up.

"Then there are 36 tons, which is enough to pave a 70-meter-high floor. There are still many people and strength! Our team is basically finished. When the road is repaired, I will treat everyone to barbecue!" Zhang Guodong's words made the members of the second team happy When they got up, especially those half-old children, their working speed suddenly increased several levels.

Zhang Guodong put the stone digging point on a high slope beside the ditch of the second team. This high slope is only a few meters high. If the second team is dug up this time, more than ten acres of land will be gained.More than 10 tons of yellow stones were dug out in one morning and piled up at the bottom of the slope. After the subsoil on the road was paved in the afternoon, the stones could be pulled away. In the afternoon, everyone went there to pave the stones and put a layer of loess on the road tomorrow. Even if the repair is complete.

From 6 o'clock in the morning to 11 o'clock in the noon, the sunshine in October has begun to soften, and it only takes 4 o'clock to go to Xida Road in the afternoon. Road construction is physical work, and the team members need adequate rest.

Just lying on the kang, my father has arranged for several new houses to have a kang for the past few days, and now he can sleep, Zhang Guodong is planning to take a lunch break when Heizi comes.

"Brother Guodong! I just asked the people in our team. You pulled more than ten carts of soil and more than ten tons of rocks in one morning! The third team can be so angry that a group of people surrounded by a cart looks like They are all very active, the carriages are not full for half a day, and I have pulled 8 carts so far in one morning."

Heizi's 8 cars are at most 3 cars in a large carriage. One car is calculated based on the final negotiated 4 yuan, which is more than 30 yuan, which is not much less than pulling stones for the village.

The four tractors of the second team basically cover every household in the team. Every extra trip is actually earning more money for yourself. Compared with the previous unpaid labor doing "water conservation", everyone feels that it is different. By the afternoon After laying all the stones, it only took two hours. Zhang Guodong had no choice but to continue to take everyone to dig the stones and let the two tractors continue to pull the soil.

As the new captain, he has decades of experience in dealing with people in his previous life. Both his parents and he were digging rocks by the side of the ditch. Occasionally, someone came to buy the clothes at home. Zhang Ping was left at home, and Zhang Guodong ran a special trip. I went to Yongkang County, bought a large bag of sugar, and gave everyone a few for each work, which was regarded as a compensation for every time the third sister participated in the work.

The three days of the National Day were fulfilling for the whole second team. More than 60 laborers, adults and children, dug stones and paved more than 10 meters every day. Seeing the road in front of their homes changed day by day, everyone felt a sense of accomplishment in their hearts.It's a pity that sister Liping went to school after the 4th, and the children who went to school also left. More than ten labors were lost, and the progress of the project suddenly slowed down.

Zhang Guodong is reconciling the accounts after a busy day. Since Sister Liping left, he has to do these things every day. Two weeks have passed. The stone road of the second team has been repaired nearly 200 meters, and the new road has just been built. It is 30 meters higher than the previous road. About one centimeter, Zhang Guodong even asked his own tractor to pull the roller column several times. Now the newly built road is much smoother and wider than before.

"It's time to plant wheat in a few days, why don't we stop building roads this week!" Zhang Chenglin came to his son and reminded him.

Zhang Guodong almost forgot about planting wheat. Yongkang County grows winter wheat every year. It is sown in mid-October every year and harvested in June or July of the next year. It misses the opportunity to plant the land. If the wheat is planted late, it will not be able to withstand this winter. , but if it is planted early, the crops that grow wheat ears before winter will definitely be fruitless.

"Okay, then let everyone rest for half a month! The tractor can also earn some money for plowing land and growing wheat recently. Tomorrow we will let the dung at the door be pulled into the field."

Farming in rural areas requires first pulling the bio-fertilizer accumulated at the door of a family to the field, then plowing the field with oxen, and then using oxen to crush the large clods in the field with a "pendulum mill". is sowing.

Zhang Guodong told all the members of the second team the news about Qiu Zhong. This was also the captain's responsibility. Those who had tractors started looking for relatives in neighboring villages to see who needed a tractor.

It took only half a day to apply the fertilizer with my parents and younger brother, and then I started to put on the plow to plow the field. The 25 tractor is much stronger than the ox, and the plow is not to mention deep, and the speed is not slow. From noon to 9 in the evening All 18 mu of land will be plowed.

Autumn planting in Zhangjialing has started. The fields are full of cattle plowing and the sound of tractors. Cattle can plow up to 5 mu of land a day, but it is easy for tractors to plow 50 mu of land. Because everyone’s economic situation has improved this year, there is no one at home. Most people who cultivate cattle choose to use tractors to plow the land. Although [-] yuan per mu is a bit expensive, tractors plow the land much deeper than cattle. The second team plowed all the land in an astonishing two days. Farming is over.

The tractors of Zhang Guodong and his second brother's family are the most popular, because the horsepower plows deeper than small tractors, and there are always people waiting in line behind them.

On this day, Zhang Guotao drove a tractor to Zhaojiayuan to plow the land. He was discussing with his father about planting wheat.Recently, the variety of meat and vegetables at home has increased, and the food consumption is not half of what it used to be. The economic benefits of growing wheat are indeed not as high as growing other crops, so he plans to grow some other things this year.

Thinking of this, Zhang Guodong’s first thought was to grow flue-cured tobacco. Zhangjialing is suitable for growing flue-cured tobacco. Flue-cured tobacco is the most profitable crop in rural areas in the 21st century. Flue-cured tobacco planting has strict requirements on seedling raising, planting, cultivation, and curing. It will be very difficult at first.

The other is to grow peanuts and rapeseeds. These things do not require much land and are easy to convert into money. The economic benefits are much better than traditional wheat cultivation.

In fact, what Zhang Guodong wants most is planting fruit trees. In his last life, he started a fruit company and finally made his fortune. However, it takes 90 years for the best apple red Fuji in Qin Province to be introduced. Now even if I go to Japan, I don’t necessarily see this. The variety has been cultivated, and the apple industry in Qin Province is still at zero scale. It is not so difficult to let yourself start this business.

Zhang Guodong was thinking about what to plant in the field this year, when Zhang Wenbin's shout outside the door pulled him back.

"Brother Guodong, hurry up! Our village and Beizhuang Village are fighting again."

Zhang Guodong hurried out of the yard when he heard it. Many people in the second team ran north with farm tools. In his previous life, he was wounded and imprisoned because of the incident in Beizhuang Village. It seems that what should have happened has finally come.

Beizhuang Village is located in the north of Zhangjialing Village, and the distance between the two villages is less than 2 kilometers. Because Beizhuang Village was established after the founding of the People’s Republic of China, the villages were all built on the edge of Zhangjialing’s first team, which left serious hidden dangers for the two villages in the future. .

Zhang Guodong ran to the northern boundary of the village in one breath, and saw that dozens of villagers in Beizhuang Village were already confronting Zhangjialing with hoes, iron lifts and other tools. The leader of Zhangjialing was the village party secretary, Zhang Guodong's uncle Zhang Chengzhi.

"Today I will plant the land here! Let me see who dares to turn it over! You say that the land is yours and it is yours? We are not afraid of you if there are more people than you." A leading young man in Beizhuang Village shouted loudly. There are more than 60 people behind them, more than double that of Zhangjialing.

"This land is clearly stuck here. You bring two plows here every year. How much do you think it takes?" Uncle Zhang Chengzhi negotiated with the Beizhuang Villagers at the front of the Zhangjialing team, but the other party obviously wouldn't listen to them.

"No matter where the land boundary is, it is at the door of our house. This land boundary is obviously unreasonable. How far away is your village from here? You can still plant the land at the gate of our village. How can there be such a reason in the world?"

"Yes, there is no reason to allocate land in the village. Our village has an average of two acres of land per person. Your village has more than four acres of land, and they are all high-quality land. How difficult it is to make such a small amount of land."

"This land should be ours..."

The scene was extremely noisy, Beizhuang Village was making noise unscrupulously due to its proximity to their own village, more and more people came up from behind Zhangjialing, everyone began to have physical contact, Zhang Chengzhi was about to lose control of the situation for a while.

"We're all separated, what are you doing?" Zhang Guodong's voice came from afar, but luckily he came here at this time.

Everyone in Zhangjialing stopped making noise one after another when they saw Zhang Guodong, and they all looked at Zhang Guodong behind him.

"Guodong, you are here. This Beizhuang village is too bullying. It takes up half a step every year. Where is the boundary stone? This year, it took up more than one meter quietly." A group of villagers hurried forward when they saw Zhang Guodong coming. He explained that now that Zhang Guodong has made everyone in the village earn money, everyone is quite convinced of him from the bottom of their hearts, and they are all watching how he handles this matter.

The stones in Beizhuang Village were all pulled by Zhang Guodong in the past few months. Everyone restrained themselves when they saw acquaintances, and they didn't make any more noise when they saw that everyone in Zhangjialing Village had retreated.

"Uncle Weimin! What is this for? Bringing the whole village to fight?"

Hu Weimin was the head of Beizhuang Village, and Zhang Guodong often negotiated with him. He stood behind the team without speaking or making a sound, which made the villagers' emotions more and more serious.

"Guodong, I don't want to see this. You know this piece of land. It's less than half a mile away from our village. It's normal for everyone to cultivate land half a meter and a foot away. Your village has to do it for this. Bringing the whole village to make a fuss, everyone in our village knows that your village has the most land and the best land, and if you lose an acre and a half, how much will you lose?"

The village cadres are very tough in dealing with conflicts with neighboring villages, otherwise the people in their own village would drown them. Zhang Guodong felt the anger of the Zhangjialing villagers behind him, and his expression remained the same.

"If it's really only one and a half acres, it's okay to give up Beizhuang Village. As neighbors, we all want to live in harmony, but you have to be more than 10 meters wide! This land must be at least 300 meters away from Xida Road Yes, this is 5 or 6 acres of land."

"Zhang Guodong, our village is not afraid of Zhangjialing. If you want to fight, come and fight, if you don't fight, go back! If you dare to plow the field, you don't even think about harvesting the wheat here." A villager in Beizhuang Village didn't wait for Hu Weimin As soon as he spoke, he began to shout threats, and a large group of villagers in Beizhuang suddenly joined in.
