Most of the people who shouted were women, chattering and asking endlessly.

"The rules above?"

"What's the rule?"

Jiang Gui was asked impatiently, "Have all the retention money been paid by each family? and all the arrears from previous years have been handed over, and I will go to Mayor Liu to talk about the sweater project." ”

When it came to the retention money, the audience suddenly fell silent, and many households owed it, and the remaining grain after the family paid the public grain was only to maintain food and clothing, and there was no money to pay at all.

"I asked Guotao to tell everyone about this project. Jiang Gui handed the microphone to Zhong Guotao.

"That's what happened. Zhong Guotao cleared his throat, recounted the construction of the factory to raise funds and shares, and then said: "Those who are willing to pay, without any additional conditions, and when the factory is completed, they will be distributed proportionally, and those who are willing to give people are conditional, educated, young, and hard-working, oh, and the most important point is that the conduct must be correct, you touch an egg in the east today, and steal a corn in the west tomorrow, such people can't want." If you are willing to go, come to me and sign up, we will be screened, and in the end there will only be ten people. ”、

Someone in the audience shouted: "If you want to send people to work and get wages, there are so many in our village, and there is really no money to pay." ”

"Yes, if you don't have money, you need labor...... A hundred, two hundred, can be made. ”

"Let's not pay for it, only people?"

"If you don't scrape together money and only get paid, count me in. ”

Zhong Guotao said with a smile: "Let everyone come is to raise funds, invest money, and get dividends every year without working." ”

"Can't you invest 200 lines? I have so much spare money at home. Someone in the audience asked.

"At least five hundred, right? Two hundred or three hundred can't be counted. Zhong Guotao explained.

There was a commotion in the audience, but it was just two words: no money.

Jiang Gui listened to the talk of the people in the audience, and most of them still didn't know what it meant to be a shareholder, so he whispered: "Tell everyone, how to settle this account? I don't think they can figure it out." ”

Raise funds to get money into shares, share them proportionally, many villagers in the audience don't understand what's going on, Zhong Guotao patiently explained for a long time before everyone understood, after understanding, most of the people have gone, because they really can't get the money, and the remaining small half of the people have not expressed their stance and are in a wait-and-see state.

The audience whispered, no one stood up to speak, Zhong Guotao smiled awkwardly and said, "That's it, if you are interested, you will come to me when you are interested." ”

"Okay, let's all disperse, let's disperse. Jiang Gui pulled Zhong Guotao's clothes and said, "I'll just say no, you still don't believe it." ”

"Then such a great opportunity, ...... Missed it. Zhong Guotao felt that this was a rare opportunity in his heart, and he was reluctant to give up.

"We are willing to raise funds. Someone shouted from a distance.

Zhong Guotao and Jiang Gui turned around at the same time, only to see Changfa and Chu Lei walking briskly this way, followed by the bar.

Changfa walked in the front, took out a stack of money and handed it to Zhong Guotao and said, "Brother Guotao, we are working outside, and we don't make any money, so it's just three thousand, let's count it for us." ”

"Brother Guotao, and me. Qin Shanyue listened to the corner of the audience for a long time, saying that she wanted to recruit people to participate in the study, and she didn't say that it would restrict men and women, so women should also try it, right?

Summoning up his courage, he walked over with a blushing face and asked tentatively, "I...... I don't have any money, I want to ...... I go to work in the town with you, I am very capable, and I can do all the work that men do. ”

Qin Shanhai followed and said to his sister: "Eldest sister, people are recruiting labor, what are you coaxing a girl with?"

Qin Shanyue glanced at her brother, she didn't listen to persuasion for the first time, and looked at Zhong Guotao, as if she was waiting for an answer.

Zhong Guotao was stunned for a moment, touched his head and said, "It seems to be ...... At the beginning, I had to go to Yanjing to participate in training and study, and I was a technical worker, so I should ...... There is no heavy work, but eldest sister, the problem now is that if you can't get the money, you can't talk about who will participate. ”

"We just scraped together the money. Chu Lei said on the side.

"Yes, we have your back. The head of the bar probed behind the long law and said.

"My fourteen thousand plus your three thousand, now add ten thousand seventeen. Zhong Guotao said with a wry smile.

Jiang Gui stomped his feet and said, "I also have to take the lead, our family can also make up 5,000, and the small shop that is civilized and dry has saved a little, and I can get 5,000 with me." ”

Jiang Gui receives a salary, more than 300 yuan a month, to take care of the family's expenses, his son Jiang Wenming opened a small shop in the village, usually selling some daily groceries, most of which are low-grade things, selling at a low price, removing food and clothing, there is not much money left, and it is already the limit to be able to take out 5,000.

"That's twenty-two in total. It's a long way from 500,000. Zhong Guotao thought for a while and said, "Why don't you Uncle Jiang, do you see if you can borrow some money in the name of the village committee?"

"Difficult!" Jiang Gui said worriedly: "Our village is a notoriously poor place, I had this idea a few years ago, I didn't do it if I broke my leg, the loan needs to be mortgaged, our village has no enterprises and no resources, what mortgage do you take?"

Everyone was anxious about the money, and Liu Xiao's mother led Liu Xiao over and greeted: "Jiang Zhishu, Guotao, Dahai, we are in Xiahe Village, can we follow you?"

"Auntie, do you want to participate in fundraising?" asked Zhong Guotao.

"It's not me, it's my family Xiaoxiao, I want to follow you, I owe the sea for what happened last time, I'm embarrassed to come. Liu's mother explained.

Liu Xiao's face was flushed, and he slurred: "I...... I don't know your rules, it's not whether a village can raise funds, my wages are coming back, there are more than 3,000, if you can collect it. ”

"Okay!" Zhong Guotao said briskly: "Xiao, don't mention the past." I won't mention the sea anymore, will it?"

Qin Shanhai hurriedly responded: "Yes, Xiao, everyone has a time when their thinking is deviated, and they can't always hold on to it, we are still old classmates and good friends." No one will mention that matter again, we will continue to be the same as before. ”

"Thanks, sea. Liu Xiao lowered his head and said in a daze.

Qin Shanhai saw Liu Xiao's discomfort, walked over and hugged Liu Xiao's shoulders and smiled.

Then he said to Zhong Guotao: "Guotao, you see that since I came back from demobilization, you have helped me, and now that you are in trouble, I also have to help you, although I became a policeman and got a salary, but I didn't save money, I want to borrow it, and I will write to you in the past two days." ”

Zhong Guotao replied: "Okay, but don't be reluctant, if you can't borrow it, forget it, let's think of a way." ”

"So be it. Jiang Gui said: "Shout with a loudspeaker, gather some capable people in the village to the village committee, and we will discuss it again." ”

"Okay, you guys go, Guotao. Qin Shanhai said: "My eldest sister and I went home first." ”

Zhong Guotao said with a smile: "Hey, Dahai, you are your policeman, and the eldest sister will follow you to gather and discuss things, why do you let her go home?"

"Me too...... Someone with a bit of ability. Qin Shanyue smiled, "Brother, go back." ”

......

Qin Shanhai got off the morning shift in the evening, bought vegetables in the town, returned to the rental house to cook a simple meal, and sat in the house and waited.

It was getting dark, and Guan Xiaojuan jumped into the door.

"Why is it so late today?" Qin Shanhai beckoned: "Quick, the water just fetched in the basin, wash your hands and eat." ”

Guan Xiaojuan threw her bag on the bed and said while washing her hands: "The boss lady came to take over the shift, I'm fine after work, I can roller skate again, you usually come back late, I know that you don't skate so early, so I came back early." ”

Qin Shanhai lifted the rice and vegetables covered, handed over a pair of chopsticks and said, "Eat it." ”

"You eat it too. Guan Xiaojuan picked up the bowl and said, "I see something is wrong with you, is something wrong?"

"It's fine. Qin Shanhai ate and said, "Xiaojuan, how much money do you have there?"

"More than a thousand, what's wrong?"

"It's fine. Qin Shanhai smiled and said, "Just ask." ”

"No, how did you remember to ask this, you don't usually care about money. Guan Xiaojuan put down her chopsticks in confusion.

"It's not ...... Guotao got a project, the prospect is very good, Xiaoyue has been idle at home, I want to follow Guotao to do it, but this project needs to raise funds, he usually helps me a lot, at this time I want to help borrow some. ”

"How much do you want to raise, how much do you want to borrow?"

"Raising 500,000 yuan, how much can I help. ”

"I'm afraid it won't help. Guan Xiaojuan pouted and said, "Just this amount of money, we don't have enough for ourselves." ”

Qin Shanhai persuaded: "Look, you are also working, and I am also a policeman, so I can save some money with my salary." ”

"Since we ...... together again" Guan Xiaojuan paused and said in a low voice: "The sea, I am very restrained in spending money, but this money is still ...... Not enough to spend. ”

Qin Shanhai's heart was sour when he heard this, since he became a policeman, he has been busy, he has little care about Guan Xiaojuan, and he came back late when he was not on duty, and he fell asleep when he was tired, and the two had not spoken much for a long time. After the two confirmed their relationship and rented a house, they never got the money back, nor did they care about the family's financial situation.

"I'm sorry, Xiaojuan. Qin Shanhai bowed his head and said: "Blame me for this, I am busy with work, but this is not an excuse, blame me for caring less about you." ”

"I don't regret it. Guan Xiaojuan bit her lip and said, "If you are wronged, you can be wronged, who made me fall in love with you." ”

......

"Borrow money, no problem, I didn't spend the salary and bonus, the remaining four or five hundred, give you four hundred, I'll leave some emergency." Du Wenbin said with his pocket.

Qin Shanhai made a lot of determination and said, "No...... Wen Bin, I want to borrow a lot of money. ”

"How much money?"

"At least...... Three or five thousand, the more the merrier. Qin Shanhai added: "I have an IOU. ”

"I'm sorry, the sea. Du Wenbin spread his hands and said: "It's a coincidence, it just so happened that Lao Tian had an accident this time, I asked my father to take out all the money in the family, you know, my family is not in business, my father's salary is so much, the family scraped together 30,000 yuan, all of which were given to Lao Tian, Lao Tian doesn't owe a total of 40,000 yuan......?
