Chapter 25: The Hire-Labor Incident

After experiencing happy times and emotional deception with Wang Zhi, Qinyin felt that life was too dull and could not find enthusiasm. Recalling the passionate years of working and living at the aqueduct construction site, Qin Yin germinated the idea of returning to the aqueduct construction site. Grandma Qin anxiously stopped her: "Secretary Xin has explained that your physical condition will not let you go back to the construction site after a year and a half." ”

Qin Yin didn't want to listen to her grandmother and insisted on going back to the construction site. Grandma Qin had no choice but to ask someone to tell the commune leaders. The leaders of the commune were worried that if they didn't follow Secretary Xin's request to take care of Qinyin and let her go to the construction site for what happened, Xin Xian would blame her, and she wouldn't be able to eat and walk around. In order to stabilize the sound of the piano and prevent her from going to the construction site, the commune leaders sent her to interview and broadcast this sensational employment incident.

After receiving the interview and broadcast task, Qin Yin temporarily gave up the idea of returning to the construction site. Concentrate on preparing for the interview and broadcast of this hire-hire incident.

According to the address provided by the commune, Qin Yin came to a village about three or four kilometers away from the commune. The village was located in a relatively flat open area, and the sound of the piano walked, amazed, accustomed to the hills of the mountains, and suddenly appeared in front of her, which made her excited.

Because of the wide area and its proximity to the watery area, it presents a different scene from a small mountain village. There are more ponds, although the water in the ponds is not abundant, but it is much better than the small mountain villages and Dakang villages.

In the fields, there are many old people basking in the sun, children herding cattle, and men plowing the fields. Kotone had never been to the village, but she asked all the way and finally found a brick house, which was said to be the residence of the interviewee. Qin Yin knocked on the door, and a very handsome head poked out of the room: "No need to knock, just come in." ”

As soon as Qin Yin stepped on the threshold, he heard the handsome head exclaim: "Qin Yin!"

Qin Yin was stunned for a moment, and took a closer look at the handsome head: "Huh?

Yes, how could the handsome head be him, it was Li Fei, the driver who had previously pursued the sound of the piano. Qin Yin didn't believe her eyes, pointed at herself, and then pointed at the other party, "The commune asked me to come for an interview, it turned out to be you?"

"It's me. Li Fei said confidently, "I'm famous, and there have been two or three batches of people who have come to investigate and interview." ”

Li Fei teased while pouring tea for Qinyin, "Oops, I wanted to drive to your house several times, but who knew that your threshold was so high, so high that you couldn't even get a car." Qin Yin replied, "It's your car that is precious, and you are reluctant to go up the mountain, right?" "I really didn't expect that the girl who had been looking for her thousands of times in my dream would suddenly take the initiative to appear in my house one day." Li Fei said with a smile on his eyebrows.

After a naughty remark that looks like a joke but doesn't look like a joke, it moves on to a formal topic. Li Fei introduced the experience of his hired workers.

It turned out that Li Fei sometimes ran to the provincial capital by virtue of his identity as a driver in the county seat. In the provincial capital, Li Fei heard that the price of pond fish in the market was liberalized, and there was no need to supply pond fish with tickets, so that the city people who used to live only on grain and vegetables began to buy pond fish. Because selling pond fish can make money, many people in the suburbs of the provincial capital have begun to raise pond fish to sell. Li Fei quit his job as a driver in the county to learn from the farmers on the outskirts of the provincial capital, and at once contracted the production team to raise fish in three fish ponds.

Qin Yin exclaimed: "Ah, you often go to the provincial capital, follow the outside world to learn, see more, see farther, maybe in the future will achieve a career, bring out a new world, this is not bad." ”

"However," Li Fei said, "we are in the mountains, and many people can't imagine how quickly the outside world is changing. The people in the village were not used to it, and they reported it layer by layer, and the prefectural party committee and county party committee sent people to investigate. ”

"How's it going?" asked Kotone. I don't know the sound of the piano at that time. Dear readers and friends should know very well that this phenomenon of hired labor was widely questioned in the isolated mountainous areas at the beginning of the 80s, but later, with the acceleration of the pace of reform and opening up, people's ideological concepts have been renewed, and their understanding of new things has been improved, and they have become accustomed to it.

"It hasn't worked out yet. Li Fei said. Li Fei didn't care about the result, because the peasants in the suburbs of the provincial capital did this, and if hired workers were not allowed to operate, the suburbs of the provincial capital would be stopped first. What he is concerned about is that when the problem of hiring workers is tossed around in the mountainous areas, some people are afraid of causing trouble and gossiping, and they are unwilling to be hired, and they have to pay more money before anyone is willing to come, which is called increasing the cost.

Li Fei said, "Although we belong to the mountainous area, there is a big river flowing through it, and it is a land of fish and rice in history." Raising pond fish is a good thing, how can there be no one to raise fish in the land of fish and rice, and how can there be no fish to eat?"

Qin Yin felt Li Fei's extraordinary insight and fresh views, and constantly nodded and praised Li Fei.

Li Fei visited the fish pond with the sound of the qin, walking and talking. Li Fei said that fish farming is actually a good thing, which can change the situation of only producing rice and grain in mountainous villages, increase non-staple food, improve the quality of food, and so on. Qin Yin felt more and more that Li Fei's insights were extraordinary.

When I came to a depression with abundant aquatic plants, a clear water pond appeared in front of me, and a woman was putting some grass in the pond by the pond. Li Fei said, this is my fish pond. Wow, at a glance, it is the size of a small vegetable garden, and the flat water surface ripples lightly. As I got closer, schools of fish loomed in the water. It is indeed rare to see such beautiful scenery in the mountainous countryside.

Qin Yin asked the hired worker next to her, "What kind of work are you mainly responsible for in the fish pond?"

The worker replied: "I am usually responsible for helping to take care of the fish pond to prevent others from stealing the fish, feeding the fish grass and helping to change the water in the pond when I have free time." ”

Opened the conversation, the worker gushed and said, "Li Fei learned fish farming technology in other places, and has the capital to invest in fish farming." And I don't know anything, and I am hired by him to help with some of the easy work, and when there is a harvest, even I, a peasant woman, can get some benefit. Li Fei doesn't hire me, he doesn't have that much time for himself, and I don't have any work if I don't hire Li Fei. Hiring a worker is actually a good thing for everyone. ”

Qin Yin nodded yes. Li Fei smiled. The workers were busy talking at the same time.

Towards the end of the interview, Li Fei said that before contracting the fish pond, the income was about 30 yuan a month, and after the fish pond was contracted, the profit of one fish pond could basically buy a sewing machine.

Qin Yin exclaimed, wow, what a great profit, my mother has been wanting to buy a sewing machine for more than 20 years, and she hasn't made enough money. After speaking, he shook goodbye to Li Fei.

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart. After Qin Yin left, Li Fei never forgot Qin Yin's smile, the beautiful shadow, the magnetic voice, and the recognition of his insights and opinions were deeply engraved in his heart, which made Li Fei add love to Qin Yin. Li Fei regretted that he had never gone to the small mountain village, so he thought hard about how to make up for it so that Qinyin could also like him. Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration and remembered what Qin Yin had said.

Yes, Li Fei remembered that Qinyin said that her mother hadn't bought a sewing machine for 20 years. He wanted to use a sewing machine to enhance his relationship with Qinyin.

The next day, Qinyin praised Li Fei's insight and thoughts on the radio, and quoted Li Fei's sentence "How can there be no one to raise fish in the land of fish and rice, and how can there be no fish to eat", expressing a view that rural people should be like Li Fei and work hard to get rich.

Another day passed, and on the commune's radio, Qin Yin once again praised Li Fei's hired workers for running the fish pond and the fish in the pond.

Qin Yin said that if we can all pursue our dreams, use our brains more, learn more from the outside world, accept more new things, and really grow food, cultivate crops, and raise livestock, then, in the near future, our poor and backward mountainous areas will catch up, eliminate poverty, achieve food and clothing, and become a veritable land of fish and rice.
