Chapter 52: Worrying Things

Looking at this alley less than two meters wide, stretching all the way, after several bends, less than three kilometers of the old street market, inside pharmacies, grocery stores, cloth shops, snack bars, butcher shops, vegetable vendors, fruit vendors, etc., there are constantly people trading, people come and go, the river is endless.

Mayor Liu and Mayor Han took Mu Xiaojun to shuttle through this alley, looking all the way to see if there was any place to build a livestock trade, and walked to the old stage, but it was deserted, and no one sang anymore, the previous troupe had long been disbanded, only this place was empty. Han Laosan and Mayor Liu nodded to each other, and Han Laosan spoke first: "Lao Liu, you see that this old theater is not run by anyone, and it is deserted, why don't you tear down this theater and build a livestock market, what do you think?"

Mayor Liu nodded and replied: "Okay, this place looks relatively wide, even if it is enough to sell pigs and cattle, horses, and sheep, it seems that this theater covers an area of more than 1,000 square meters, and it is demolished to build a livestock trading market!" It's the best, but this is the public property of the town, we have to go back to the meeting to make a resolution before we can carry it out, and this demolition will have to be demolished for half a month, and it will take several months to build, and the little army and your piglets will not be able to solve it during this time, so we want to build a temporary trading place for you in the open space in front of the old street, and when it is built, you will move inside!"

When Mu Xiaojun heard that there was a place to trade, he immediately agreed with joy, said goodbye to the two mayors, and went to Zhang Luo to sell piglets.

Han Laosan looked at Mayor Liu and asked, "Lao Liu, you said that we have all become towns, and the May Day Commune has become a township, is there a difference?"

Mayor Liu thought for a while and replied: "This township should be about the same, if it's different, why isn't Ouyang Jian anxious!"

Han Laosan smiled and said: "There is one thing that is different, that is, our shopkeepers have the ability to transfer all the pig raising technology of Wuyi Commune, no, Wuyi Township to our store, thinking of Mu Sanduo's matter of transporting pig cubs, he panicked in his heart, and almost died on the curve." Well, now, I finally don't have to go so far to transport the piglets back to raise them. You said that the first tractor that our commune bought, I didn't even touch it, and it fell into the valley, and now it's all shelved there! It's heartbreaking to think about it! That is also the hard-earned money of the people of our commune!"

Mayor Liu pointed at Han Laosan with a wicked smile and said: "You guy is bad, isn't it, the tractor has not driven to your Sanjiangkou Village, you have a pimple in your heart, and you have been haunting it, is this interesting? Besides, your road has been closed, but the pontoon bridge has not yet been repaired, this is still a problem? Have you talked to Han Dajiang about repairing the bridge across the river?"

Han Laosan sighed and replied: "Han Dajiang, he is so busy that he can't see the shadow all day long, he is so busy that he is dizzy and dizzy, how can he have time to care about whether the pontoon bridge is or not?

When Mayor Liu saw that he had built a livestock market, he said: "Han Laosan, third brother, we should also go back to the town, this time you are busy with the market economy, how is the business of the food company in our town?"

Han Laosan replied with a smile: "The business of the food factory is fine, but our business is not as prosperous as before, and there are signs of decline!

Mayor Liu sighed and replied: " Maybe the whole country has opened the market, everyone has taken out their own things to sell, there are comparisons and choices in the market, diners also have a choice, you can go to the market to buy their favorite food, in this way, our food is faded out of sight by some people, so the business is not as good as before, and some people have a choice of space, they will consider high-quality and inexpensive food, our food factory is to make money and share profits, the profit is also large, diners will be compared, feel that our things are more expensive, some people will not buy ours!”

Han Laosan sighed and said: "Maybe our food factory will face the risk of closure in three years, and after it closes down, what will those workers do? The most important thing is those disabled people and the elderly who are lonely, what should they do? When such a thing happens, how can we explain it to Secretary Ouyang!"

"Yes, yes, the food factory was founded by Secretary Ouyang, the purpose is to solve the problem of food and clothing for these disabled people and the lonely elderly.

Speaking of unhappiness, Han Laosan took out a dry tobacco stick, filled it with a pot of tobacco, lit it and smoked it.

Before Han Laosan could finish sucking, Mayor Liu grabbed it and took two sips hard, and as soon as he finished sucking, he choked and coughed, and tears came out.

Han Laosan looked at Mayor Liu and said, "Old Liu, don't smoke if you can't smoke? Look at what kind of cough you have? Is smoking harmful to your health?"

"Han Laosan, we haven't seen Ouyang's old buddy for a long time, let's go and see him! Bring a pot of old wine and a roast duck, and chat with him while drinking! What do you think?" Mayor Liu couldn't help but say, at this time he thought of Secretary Ouyang's old buddy, and he felt very uncomfortable.

"If you don't call Secretary Sun, and Mu Liangen, our brothers will talk to the old guy!" Han Laosan proposed.

Back in the town, Mayor Liu and Han Laosan told him about Mu Xiaojun's construction of a livestock market, and Secretary Sun held a town meeting the next day, called the village chiefs of each village, and unanimously approved the change of the theater into a livestock trading market after a show of hands.

A few days later, the old theater was demolished, and a few months later it became a market, where pigs, cows, sheep, chickens and ducks were sold, and business was very good.

Secretary Sun, Han Laosan, Mayor Liu, and Mu Liangen, four old fellows, finally had time to take a roast duck and a pot of old wine to Wushan, the highest in the store, to visit him. The jeep drove down the mountain, stopped, and the four of them took the tribute and the money they carried to visit the old man.

After walking for nearly an hour, climbing to the top, seeing Secretary Ouyang's tombstone, everyone came over, Secretary Sun smiled and said: "Old man, the four of us saw you coming, Han Laosan brought your favorite roast duck, as well as dried plum vegetables and pork, a pot of old wine, it is the wine brewed by Mu Liangen's youngest son, and it is also your favorite drink!"

Han Laosan sat down and took out a cup, filled Secretary Ouyang with wine, and shouted: "Old brother, Han Laosan has come to see you, every time I encounter something bad, I want to talk to you about my heart, nagging, but we are separated by yin and yang, although I can't talk to you now, but I want to tell you what is in my heart, because I can't find someone else to talk to, so I have to find you, brother!" Brother, don't you know, if you go for a year, our commune will become a town, and now the common people are rich, everyone can buy and sell freely, and life is getting better day by day, but the business of the old food factory you handed over to us is poor, and if it continues like this, after three years, it may face the risk of bankruptcy!"

Muligen put down the offerings, and then said: "Old man, you have kindly solved the social problems of those disabled people and lonely old people, but you have left us with a knot in our hearts! If the food factory really fails, what will those people do? Although there are few lonely old people left, the disabled still exist! We are in trouble! What can you tell us to do?"

Secretary Sun burned the paper money and shouted: "Old man, I haven't come to see you for a long time, you are doing well down here, are you still a secretary? If you are still a secretary, don't work so hard, and leave some energy to live for a few more years! Old man, our Diankou Commune has been changed to Diankou Town, do you know? And Han Sanjiang and Mu Chunfeng will be back soon! He is back, we will be much easier, I heard that the kid also brought us three college students back, so that we will have five college students in the store, are you happy? Happy, let's have a drink, let's clink glasses!" said he touched the offering cup in front of the grave, drank it all, and then said, "Brother, you drink too, don't just watch me drink!"

At the same time, Mayor Liu circled around the grave, returned to the tombstone, kowtowed to him three times, then lit incense, filled a glass of wine, sprinkled it on the ground, and said: "Old man, drink bar, this is your favorite wine, as well as roast duck and plum cabbage button pork, all of which I personally made last night, you said, you like to eat my roast duck and plum vegetable button meat, I made it for most of the night." Our brothers came to the store together, for decades, together inseparable, you go, we are like a lack of little soul, there is no backbone in our hearts, although the conditions are good, we can also buy and sell freely, but we feel that the burden is much heavier than before, are not able to slow down, for a while to build a livestock market, After a while, we will build an industrial and commercial office, and a market mediation committee will be built for a while, and Han Sanjiang is coming back, and before he comes back, he asked us to solve the problem of electricity in the store, and asked us to pull a line to the store, engage in industrialization, and open a factory.
