On the twentieth day of the twelfth month, Chen Shi's family killed the New Year's house, and at the twenty-fifth time, Huzi's parents came back, and Chen Shi went to help Huzi's family kill the New Year's pig.

Chen Dazhi hadn't seen his uncle for about a year, compared to the uncle in his memory, his face was dark at this time, and he was covered by the healthy black after the sun, and it could be seen that his work outside was very hard, although he did some technical work, but how could the construction work be easy? Compared with him, his aunt's work in the county was easy, but his salary should be much higher than that of his aunt.

Chen Shi asked Uncle Chen Dazhi: "Uncle, what kind of work are you doing in construction?"

The uncle smiled and said: "Hard work, although the salary is good, but it is very hard, every day the wind and the sun are exposed, you see that I have changed now, this skin is darker than African." I'm mainly responsible for building shelves, which is a bit dangerous. ”

As soon as Chen Shi heard this, he immediately understood that although it was said to be technical work, it was actually still hard work, and no matter how skilled a migrant worker was, what could he do? Erection of the frame should be to build scaffolding, the danger of this kind of work is indeed very high, a careless fall is fatal, now the construction site is still using bamboo, not like the later generations with steel pipes, steel pipe shelves have not been popularized. There is no ability to build a frame with bamboo, and the frame built by an inexperienced person is unstable, and the wind will blow the danger of collapse, so it can be said that building a frame is a high-tech job for construction workers.

This work can't be done by the older ones, because they have to climb very high, and those who have fear of heights can't do it, and those who are less timid can't do it, only those who are bold and careful, young and flexible, and have quick hands and feet can do it. Uncle is a young man, about thirty years old, this age is the golden age of labor, and it is not surprising to do such a job.

Chen Shi said: "It's dangerous, right? You just don't do it, follow me, although it can't guarantee that you will make a fortune, but at least it's not that dangerous, look at my aunt, it's only been a few months with me, she doesn't make money anymore?"

Uncle naturally disagreed, he finally climbed up from the small worker, and now he can be regarded as having face and lining, the salary is higher than that of the small worker, and he is respected on the construction site, although it is a little bitter and dangerous, but what man does not want to be respected by others? There is a group of brothers who respect him, and he has no intention of leaving.

Chen Shi didn't persuade him, but just told Huzi about going to school, and then asked: "What are you going to do now?" If my aunt stays at home to take care of him, it's okay, but I don't think my aunt wants to stay in the countryside, she is doing a good job in the county, if it is another four or five years, I guarantee that your salary is not as high as that of your aunt, she can now be said to be a cadre, a person in the management, and in a few years, my restaurant will expand and become a small group, then it will not be difficult to transfer her to work in the office of the group headquarters. ”

Uncle Chen Dazhi hesitated, on the one hand, his current job, on the other hand, the children and his wife at home, Chen Shi's salary was good, but he was afraid, what if Chen Shi went bankrupt? When the time came, his work on the construction site was replaced, and he would definitely not have his current position when he went back, and he couldn't stand the feeling of falling from the sky.

Chen Shi persuaded again: "If you follow me, I can give you the same salary, and it will be increased in the future, the most important thing is that if you come back and be in the county with your aunt, then Huzi's affairs will be easy to do, you can take him to the county seat with you, and you will take care of your school in the county, no matter what, it is better than having no one at home, but the second grandfather and they have to do some work here, if the two old people don't want Huzi to go to the county seat, it will not be easy to do." ”

Uncle Chen Dazhi said that he should think about it, and he would talk about it after the New Year, but Chen Shi did not persuade him again, and hurriedly helped shave the pig's hair. The uncle's family raised two pigs and asked four or five people to help, and from about ten o'clock in the morning, they were busy until four or five o'clock in the evening.

In the evening, the family eats at the uncle's house, these days just to eat the pig killing feast ran to many places, the nearby neighbors are all killing the pigs in these days, therefore, in the past few days before the Chinese New Year, there is almost no fire in the house to cook, a few days of uncle's house, tomorrow on the uncle's house, the day after tomorrow is the seventh aunt's house, this year's pig rice has not stopped, has been busy until twenty-seven or eight.

After dinner in the evening, the uncle found Chen Shi and said, "I think about it, I won't do construction in the future, that is indeed a bit dangerous." He is not afraid of danger, the most important thing is that he asked his wife, knowing that Chen Cheng is not what it used to be, not only opened a restaurant, but also Internet cafes and supermarkets, most people don't know these things, only the aunt knows, the aunt is not a long-tongued woman, naturally he didn't go around to say, after the uncle chatted with Chen Shi today, the uncle Chen Dazhi went to ask his wife, and then he knew.

Chen Shi said with a smile: "With the help of my uncle, I really have to be much easier, don't worry, as long as you go, I promise that I will not treat you badly, but now you have to convince the second grandfather and the second grandmother first, it is not good for the two old people to stay at home in the future, you have to plan first." ”

Uncle Chen Dazhi said that he would consider and arrange, but Chen Shi did not ask again, this is a family matter, although it is his uncle, but even his own brothers have a clear time to settle accounts, let alone a cousin? Therefore, he did not talk much.

After the uncle left, his father Chen Dazhong came to him and asked, "What did you say to Dazhi?"

Chen Shi said: "Uncle will work with me in the future, and I will work for me in the future." ”

The father looked at the back of the uncle leaving and said: "Dazhi is a hard-working person, he can follow you and look up to you, take care of him more in the future, it will not be easy for him." Chen Shi nodded, in the countryside, no one is easy, especially in this kind of extremely underdeveloped transportation place, if you nest in the countryside there is no future for development, even if you contract land to plant, there is no way, because the land here is terraced shape, most of them are in the mountains, some places can't even go to the carriage, the transportation is completely back, under such conditions, there is too much land to be busy, there is no way to use large agricultural machines.

Therefore, there is only one way out for rural people, to go out to work. Going out to work will leave the elderly behind and the children behind. The one who is responsible will take the children out with them, but the education of children in the field is a big problem, but the uncle's situation is fine, but it is in the county seat, which is not far away, and it is the same for school in the county seat and the exam when he comes back.

Chen Shi lamented the difficulties of the countryside, thinking that it would be good if there were a few large factories in this rural area, just like the coastal areas, the city is densely populated, but the countryside is not bad, because many factories are built in the countryside, and there are many farmers who have made a fortune by relying on the land.

Thinking of these problems, Chen Shi sighed in front of his father: "Our ghost place, the transportation is inconvenient, there is not even a large factory, people want to get rich, only go out to work, but the people who stay at home will suffer, the elderly have no one to take care of, the children have no one to discipline, a day or two is fine, but if it is a year or two, no matter how good the child is, it will be difficult to correct this person once he learns badly, and in another ten years, I am afraid that all the problem teenagers in our village will be troubled." ”

His father glared at him and said, "Nonsense, it's his own business that this person learns badly, how can he have anything to do with his parents when he goes out? If a person is bad in his bones, he can't be taught well no matter how he teaches, and if he has a good heart, he doesn't need to be taught by adults, and the teachers in the school don't teach him? There are good people and bad people everywhere, if you look at the older generation, which one doesn't have parents at home? But there are also many bad people, and there are second-rate people in the village, and there are even people who commit crimes and stay in prison?"

There are indeed people in the village who have committed crimes outside and are still in prison at this time. Chen Shi knew that his father's thinking was outdated, and he didn't refute him, but deep down he was thinking about how to change this situation, if he could build one or two large factories in the countryside to ensure that he could keep the people in the countryside, and then if no one went out, there would be fewer children and the elderly left behind.

After thinking for a while, he looked at the ducks playing in the pond and suddenly became enlightened, his restaurant can ask for a lot of ducks, and the daily consumption is a lot, whether it is ducks or chickens are bought from the vegetable market at market prices, if he has one or two farms by himself, then the cost will be reduced, and it can also solve the problems in the village.

Thinking of this, he excitedly asked his father, "Dad, how about I open a chicken farm?"

Of course, my father didn't know how big the chicken farm was, and he said, "How many chickens do you want? If you don't have enough, you can buy them, and it's a waste to set up a chicken farm." ”

Chen Shi smiled, his father is a farmer, of course he doesn't know what the scale of a chicken farm will be, and he doesn't know how many chickens, ducks, fish and meat his restaurant consumes a day.

Open a farm in your hometown, not only to raise chickens and ducks, but also to make processed food, those pickled pepper phoenix claw flavor snacks and other food can be made, but this has to come step by step, the first is to engage in a farm, the scale can be a little smaller, and then step by step expansion. Who is the person in charge looking for? Uncle doesn't know if it's okay? This matter was not planned until after the Chinese New Year, and now it's just an idea, if Uncle can't do it, then let him go to the supermarket to help, the supermarket in the county is now very short of manpower, He Chunming went to the city, the county is naturally short of manpower, and the uncle can help after he goes.
