When Tiancheng arrived at Lao Mu's house, the sun had already set on the western horizon, Xiuhua and Mu Yan were preparing dinner, and when they saw Tiancheng coming to the house at this time, Xiuhua walked out of the kitchen door and greeted Tiancheng: "Brother, come to the house at this point, I will cook two more dishes, let you two brothers drink two cups!"

"Sister-in-law is polite, I'm here to discuss something with my brother!" Tiancheng said as he walked into the hall, and when Lao Mu in the house heard that Tiancheng was coming, he hurriedly stood up and greeted the door: "What kind of wind is blowing you here, I heard you say something? Tell me!" Lao Mu felt that Tiancheng had a lot of things recently, and he really couldn't guess what he could come up with.

"Coming to you is to trouble you, what other good things can be!" Tiancheng felt that last year, the matter of letting Lao Mu help him with the loan had not been paid off, and if he mentioned any money at the moment, he always felt that it was difficult to say clearly, so he could only say that it was a matter of troublesome to others, and it was inconvenient to say that it was a good thing.

"Look, as long as my brother can help, just say it!" Lao Mu replied very simply.

"This matter also involves money, so when you say it, I'm afraid you will think too much!" Tiancheng said.

"What kind of money is not money, brother now compared with last year, it seems that it is not worse than thirty or fifty! You say, how much?" Lao Mu felt that he was not short of thirty or fifty yuan, Tiancheng's pig this year was rich, not to mention thirty or fifty, but he didn't know what kind of medicine he sold in his gourd, so he generously said that he would give as much as he wanted.

Tiancheng listened to what Lao Mu said, as if he had eaten a reassuring pill, and said without scruples: "My pig farm made some money last year, but what I want to do now is not simply raising pigs, but raising sows, if raising sows, I can't just rely on the two big sows I am raising now, I want to increase the number of existing sows, you can rest assured, I am not here to borrow money, I want you to invest in my kind of pig farm, at the end of the year, let you follow the dividends, and the wages of my sister-in-law working there will be calculated separately, do you think it is okay?"

"I really haven't thought about this, and with my little money, there is no problem in subsidizing the family, as for your shares, it's a little little!" Lao Mu said hesitantly.

"It's not too little, as long as you have this heart, it is a trust for me, and the dividends in the future will naturally be indispensable to you!" Tiancheng said as if he saw himself taking the dividend and sending it to Lao Mu's hand.

"Brother Tiancheng, although I have harvested some crops and sold some money this year, it is not much, depending on what you said, I will hand over all the rest of this year's money to you, this is also the minimum trust that my brother has in you, what you have done, I have never doubted it, but it is unrealistic for you to let me take a lot. "Lao Mu said it very directly, and there is no hypocrisy at all.

"Brother, don't worry, I thought about this method before I thought about it, but I think which method is not as good as this, let's not say it directly, the key is to let the big guy follow me and make some money. For this reason, I went to our secretary Mu and told him, let him find a way to mobilize everyone to participate, and at the same time vouch for everyone in the name of the village committee, so that everyone can believe more that the money will be taken out and handed over to me Tiancheng, and it will never be wasted!" Tiancheng said a little excitedly, and the next few words obviously raised his voice.

"How could I not believe you, even if there is no guarantee from the village, I will also invest in your breeding farm!" Lao Mu looked at Tiancheng's slightly reddened face and said.

"Seeing that you two are just talking, I have made a dish, and you two will pour some wine!" Xiuhua said as she put away the books on the table, then took two third-line wine glasses from the drawer and washed them outside.

When the wine was full, the sky was already dark, and the two of them just picked up the wine glass and touched it, and the wine glass in Tiancheng's hand just touched his mouth, and suddenly a child's voice came: "Am I here?"

Tiancheng's hand holding wine stopped in mid-air, this was the voice of his son Xiaojian, who came to call himself home for dinner. "Well, here!" Tiancheng responded, tilted his neck, and poured all the small wine of three coins into his mouth, his head was not lowered, his throat moved, and the wine was already in his stomach.

Xiao Jian, who had already arrived at the door of the hall, urged: "I was looking for you for half of the village, but fortunately I met Dongzi, otherwise I really don't know where to find you!" The Dongzi mentioned by Xiao Jian was the child who met him scratching his nose on the way when Tiancheng came.

"Xiao Key, don't go back, let's eat together here!" greeted Xiuhua who was holding the vegetable house.

"Auntie, my mother is still waiting for me to go back!" Xiao Jian said as he agreed.

"Then you can go back to your mother and say, I have dinner at your uncle's place, and I won't go home to eat at night! Go back and reply, don't let your mother worry about me!" Tiancheng waved his hand at his son who was standing at the door, and made a gesture to go home and return to life.

Xiao Jian retreated and shouted to Xiuhua in the kitchen: "Auntie, I'm going home, tell my mother that I'm not going back!" After speaking, he jumped out of Lao Mu's house.

Lao Mu's hotel is limited, three dollars of small wine cups, two cups of belly, his face became Guan Gong did not say, even the neck and arms became red, so Tiancheng knew that he couldn't drink, and he didn't persuade him, he drank two more cups, and he didn't pour anymore, so he began to eat, Lao Mu's consistent principle of eating at home is not to talk, not to eat, to talk and not to eat, although Tiancheng eats here, except for Lao Mu and Tiancheng occasionally say a few words from time to time, the rest of the three children and Xiuhua are silently pulling the food in their bowls.

After dinner, Tiancheng and Lao Mu talked some more and went home by themselves by the moonlight.

Tiancheng came out of Mu Xiangshu's house, this Secretary Mu was ready to go to the city, he was going to find the eldest brother, talk about the things in the village, let the eldest brother guide the maze, although he knew that it was not a bad thing to let the villagers invest in the breeding pig farm, but after all, this was the first time in his life that he encountered such a thing, and was guaranteed by the village committee, although this is not the first time, there was a previous interest-free loan to start, but this time is different from the last time, it is the country's bank, and now it is a person, the scale of this matter, it is really not accurate, this Tiancheng's brain is alive enough, if he blindly follows the trend, if something goes wrong, I will not wipe my ass？

On the tenth day of the first month, it is the day of the opening of the school, early in the morning, Lao Mu went to school, when he went home for breakfast, Mu Zhen picked up his schoolbag and was about to set off to Binhu Middle School, yesterday when Lao Mu was busy talking with Tiancheng about the pig farm, Mu Zhen had sent a new set of bedding prepared by Xiuhua to Liu Xuchang in Zhangji Village, in the new semester, he no longer had to face the humid environment, and no longer had to smell the pungent smell and fall asleep.

Mu Xiangshu was even more anxious, he understood that the things proposed by Tiancheng should not be delayed any longer, this matter stopped, Tiancheng's breeding pigs could not wait, and the customers who bought piglets could not wait, and the vigorous and resolute character developed from the young bombardment prompted him to get up early and go to the city.

From home to the county seat, and then from the county seat, to his brother's city, it took a morning, he originally wanted to make a phone call, but he was afraid that he would not be clear on the phone, and now it is also the time of the New Year's Festival, go to his brother's house, to talk about this matter, but also to visit the old mother who is celebrating the holiday at his brother's house.

Mu Xiangshu's elder brother is called Mu Xiangyang, before the liberation of the army with the army to fight guerrillas, later joined the party, promoted, after the liberation transferred to the local military sub-district work, Mu Xiangshu in the past few years, in many big things often ask his brother for advice, with his own cognition and his brother's teachings, the work in the village will always be smooth.

When Mu Xiangshu came to his brother's door, he was about to raise his hand to knock on the door, but the door opened, and the two of them were startled at the same time.

"You're from home, you see that you have brought so many things, and you don't make a phone call, so I can let someone pick you up!" It was his sister-in-law Hu Yanxue who opened the door, and the sister-in-law deliberately complained when she saw the agricultural products he was carrying.

"Sister-in-law, this is not a temporary certainty, so I didn't inform you, just after the festival, there is nothing to do at home, so I made a special trip to see you and my mother!" Mu Xiangshu said very casually.

"The second child is here, come in!" This was the mother's voice, and Mu Xiangshu hurriedly put the things he was carrying next to the door.

The sister-in-law said casually: "You two will talk about the day first, and I will go out for a while and come back with some dishes." With that, he turned and went downstairs.

Lao Mu knew that when his sister-in-law used to go to work, she was the manager of the state-run hotel, and she was too busy to take care of her family all day, but fortunately, she is retired now, and last time she heard her mother say that many people still asked her for help, so it is not strange to see that her sister-in-law has to go out in the morning this time.

My brother lives in a typical three-bedroom building, a small passage is opened next to the passage, one is the toilet, the other is the kitchen, at the end of the passage is a small living room, around the living room opened three doors, respectively, three bedrooms, one is the bedroom of the brother and sister-in-law, one is the mother lives, and one is a temporary housing for the niece who does not often come home, when the niece is not there, this room is the brother's study.

With the sound of the door, I heard the sound of my sister-in-law going down the stairs, Mu Xiangshu took two steps through the small passage, and saw his mother sitting on the sofa watching TV, it was a domestic TV set in the dark and daytime, which had already become an antique-level, because my brother and sister-in-law were busy with work, there was no one at home, Mu Xiangshu proposed several times to let my brother buy a new TV, and my brother always said that there was a TV to watch, which was much better than nothing, so it still didn't change it.

"Mother, where is my brother?" Mu Xiangshu felt that only the communication with his mother was the most enjoyable, and he never had to beat around the bush, just say whatever he wanted.

"Someone is looking for him in the morning, and he will probably be back soon!" replied the mother.

Mu Xiangshu sat next to his mother, picked up a handful of melon seeds from the dining table in front of the sofa, and swallowed them.

"Is there anything you have come for?" asked the mother with concern.

"It's not a big deal, it's just that after the New Year, there's nothing to do at home, I miss you, come and see you!" Mu Xiangshu said with some innocence.

In front of the eighty-year-old mother, as the mother often recited: "A son is a son, and no matter how old he is, he is a child in front of his mother!"

Mu Xiangshu has always recognized his mother's words, her old age is not easy, when her father died early, in that era of war and chaos, a woman with two children to live, how difficult, mother is relying on her weak body to support the family, so that the brothers in the village school to learn literacy, until later the elder brother joined the army as an adult, and he joined the party and became a village official in the village, these all come from the mother's steel and strength.

The mother and son were speechless, the old lady was attracted by the plot of the TV series, and Mu Xiangshu also watched TV with her, but she was thinking about when her brother would come back?

The door creaked open, and my sister-in-law returned, carrying a few bought vegetables and a bag of cooked meat wrapped in lotus leaves.

"My brother hasn't come back yet!" Mu Xiangshu said as he went up to take the dish from his sister-in-law's hand.

"This is coming back soon, let's cook first, and when it's ready, he should come back too!" said the sister-in-law as she held on to the wall and changed her slippers.

As Hu Yanxue said, when the meal was almost done, Mu Xiangyang came back.

Mu Xiangshu couldn't wait to say to Mu Xiangyang, who had just entered the door: "Brother, I really have something to discuss with you." ”

Mu Xiangyang was a little surprised, with his understanding of his younger brother, he was not so eager to encounter anything, it seemed that there was something big to say.

"There are no outsiders, you can say it!" Mu Xiangyang was still so calm and calm.

Mu Xiangshu repeated the words that Tiancheng said in the future, and added: "This matter involves the interests of the whole village, and involves the interests of the collective and the individual, this really dare not make a decision, for so many years, in the face of the major rights and wrongs, without you to give me ideas, take reassurance, I don't know how many mistakes I have made, now that I am reforming, the changes in the countryside are so big, I dare not make a rash decision, as you said in the face of major events, ask you for advice, so please give me some advice." ”

"At present, the country put forward the slogan around the economic construction as the center, the so-called economic construction, to put it bluntly, is to make the people rich, this is easy to say, it is indeed a little difficult to do, the village to engage in the villagers into the pig farm, this is a good thing, is to seize the opportunity, grab time, do a good thing, this is also a good opportunity for the welfare of the people, this thing should be supported, as for the village guarantee, just let the people believe that the money will not be recovered, just to ensure that everyone can see the benefits, so go back to the standard people to explain the current policy, to focus on the reform, is to let everyone get rich together, the two years of joint production contract responsibility system let farmers taste the sweetness, the motivation is enough, but there is a saying that no agriculture is unstable, no business is not rich, agriculture is the foundation, what can really make farmers rich is business, is to guide farmers to engage in side business! Now at the small meeting of the General Assembly, five times and three times mentioned to recognize the situation, change the thinking, then the original situation is the policy of the state, the thinking here is first of all the leader's thinking, and then it is the individual's thinking, the leadership of the thought has changed, in order to guide everyone to change their thinking, your thinking has changed, the villagers' thinking will change, now the village's Tiancheng thinking has changed, you are still lagging behind, so how to do it, so you must also be active, you must fully support, and can make the villagers follow you to change, so as to really lead everyone to get rich"Mu Xiangyang is not a leader of the military region, he has studied and used policies, and his understanding of policies is obviously much higher than that of his younger brother.

Mu Xiangyang said this set of words, Mu Xiangshu listened to it fascinated. Mu Xiangshu heard from his brother's words that the center of the national policy is to lead everyone to get rich, and he is obviously a little behind, although he has also talked about bringing everyone to get rich in the past year, but after all, no brother understands it more thoroughly.

Before Mu Xiangshu could reply, he was interrupted by Hu Yanxue's greeting of "take the dishes and chopsticks and prepare to serve the dishes and eat".

When Mu Xiangshu was eating, he said to his brother Mu Xiangyang: "I used to say the same, but I didn't have a tune in my heart, I just knew what people did and what we did, I didn't think about it so much, and now it seems that I am really a little outdated!"

"It's not that you're outdated, it's that your mind hasn't been let go yet, and this requires a process, and the shorter the process, the faster you can grasp and use the policy well!" Mu Xiangyang's explanation was obviously very effective.

Mu Xiangshu has always respected his brother, he is an elder brother in age, a teacher in life, and a direct leader in organizational management.

When Mu Xiangshu returned home from his brother, the sun had already set, the moon had hung high in the sky, and the anxious stars began to twinkle like eyes, taking the lead in lighting up the direction of people's travel, and after a little rest at home, he paced to Tiancheng's house, and Tiancheng, who came back from the pigsty to prepare for dinner, saw the secretary come to his house, and his heart was happy.

"Brother hasn't eaten yet, has he?" Tiancheng said to his wife Ren Lianying: "Stir-fry two more dishes, let our brother drink some here!"

"Don't be busy, I'm different from before now, I usually don't eat at night!" Mu Xiangshu said and entered the house.

"You see that this is the time to eat, so you don't have to be polite, and let your younger siblings go and say to your sister-in-law later. Tiancheng said it very honestly.

"I'm not here to drink, I'm here to discuss with you the matter of the village's guarantee to buy a stake in the breeding pig farm that you proposed!" Mu Xiangshu went straight to the point.

"You've figured it out so quickly?" Tiancheng looked a little surprised.

"If you think about it, just do as you say, as for how much each family will enter, we can't decide, just like last year's interest-free loan, everyone is casual, what do you think?" Mu Xiangshu felt that it was impossible to implement a one-size-fits-all standard according to one standard, after all, it was not a unified requirement from the superiors.

"Okay, is there a need to hold a branch meeting to discuss this matter?" Tiancheng asked tentatively, according to the secretary's style of doing things, all big and small issues are handed over to the party member meeting for discussion and decision, and this time it is impossible to be an exception.

"This matter is a personal matter between the villagers and you, and the village guarantee does not do so, the village sends someone to prove the time and amount of shares, and leave a bottom here for you, and it will be used as the basis for dividends when the time comes. As for the party member meeting, it will not be held specially, just talk about it next time!" Mu Xiangshu paused here when he said this, he was obviously not surprised by Tiancheng's thoughts, and continued: "This matter is related to the interests of the whole village, how to mobilize it can be more effective, or hold a whole village meeting tomorrow to listen to everyone's opinions." Mu Xiangshu's words immediately resonated with Tiancheng.

"Okay, tomorrow happens to be nothing for everyone, and borrowing the moon as a sky lamp at night is a good time for a meeting. Tiancheng said with a smile.

For so many years, according to the habit of the village, the village holds a plenary meeting in the evening, and everyone does not occupy labor time at night, and there is another important reason, if there is nothing to do, everyone likes to come out at night to visit each other, and talk about the east and west. At this time, the meeting is good to get together, and everyone can still talk freely.

Mu Xiangshu and Tiancheng finished summing up, and Mu Xiangshu finally arranged for Tiancheng to communicate with several party members in the village tomorrow, and at the same time informed everyone to hold a villager meeting in the East Drying Field tomorrow night.
