Chapter Ninety-Five: All the Way

"It was almost 60 years from the founding of the Qin Dynasty to the reign of Wenjing of the Han Dynasty, from the founding of the Sui Dynasty to the reign of Tang Zhenguan, from the founding of the Song Dynasty to the reign of Xianping of Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty was almost 60 years, from the founding of the Ming Dynasty to the prosperity of Yongle, and from the founding of the Qing Dynasty to the prosperity of Kangxi, it was almost 60 years. Zhong Yuemin told several dynasties in history in one breath.

"Then let's start counting from 1949?" Zheng Tong counted there with his fingers, "Then it's going to be 009?"

"Almost, I guess our country will start to prosper by then. ”

"It's been too long, we're almost sixty years old at that time, and I'm about to burp when the country is thriving. Zheng Tong was even more frustrated.

Zhong Yuemin said speechlessly: "Are you stupid in northern Shaanxi, isn't it a process for any country to prosper, how can it suddenly become stronger when the time comes." ”

"What do you mean then?" Zheng Tong also felt that he had a mistake.

"It will take thirty years for the country to start developing, you use 009 to calculate forward. ”

"009 minus thirty, 1979, are you saying that in 1979 we will have changes, and the country will begin to develop?" Zheng Tong asked excitedly.

"Heaven must not be divulged. Zhong Yuemin pretended to be profound.

"You don't have any leaky pants left, it's still heavenly!" Zheng Tong said disdainfully, turned his head and thought about it, "Yuemin, you are so powerful, you can go to the flyover to tell fortunes with sunglasses and a banner." ”

"How do you speak! You're blind. Zhong Yuemin said obscurely.

"Bah, my crow's mouth. Zheng Tong didn't even rush to the car, "Yuemin, tell me how you made it up." ”

"Why is it made up, don't I have a historical basis?"

"I've read so many history books, why don't I know? ”

"What's the use of just looking at history, but also looking at the Book of Changes, otherwise how can you understand it!" Zhong Yuemin continued to talk nonsense, he didn't believe that Zheng Tong could really find a book of I Ching.

Zheng Tong fell into deep thought.

"Hey, why are you just going inside?" The cement factory porter stopped the donkey cart that Zhong Yuemin was driving.

"Uncle, are we looking for Secretary Zhao?" Zhong Yuemin hurriedly stopped the car.

"Which unit are you from, what are you looking for Director Zhao?" the porter looked at the two of them and wondered.

"Oh, we are educated youths from Ishikawa Village, we pulled cement last time, and we have something to do with Secretary Zhao, so please help us let us in." ”

The porter asked, "Are you educated youths from Beijing?"

"Yes, yes, we are educated youths from Beijing, uncle, do you remember us?"

Knowing that it was an acquaintance, the porter's tone was better, "If you don't remember, you can't do it, Secretary Zhao has come to ask every other day in the past two days, if there are any Beijing educated youths coming to him." ”

"Hey, we originally made an appointment with Secretary Zhao, but something has been delayed in the past two days, so I'm sorry for you! Where is Secretary Zhao now?"

"It's supposed to be in the dormitory at this time, you go straight inside, the last row of rooms, he's in the innermost room. The uncle confirmed their identities and enthusiastically showed them the way.

"Then let's go. ”

"It's okay, park the cart here, you can go quickly. The uncle took their donkey cart.

"Thank you, uncle. ”

At this time, Secretary Zhao had just eaten lunch and was lying on the bed in the dormitory, and he wanted to sleep for a while, but he was upset.

There was a knock on the door.

"Who!"

"Officer Zhao, it's me, Zhong Yuemin. ”

Officer Zhao picked up from the bed and ran to open the door, "Zhong Yuemin, you're finally here!"

"Director Zhao, are you in a hurry to find me?"

Secretary Zhao brought Zhong Yuemin in, "You have made me miserable!"

"What's the matter?" Zhong Yuemin was pulled into the house by him and said strangely.

"You asked me to collect the cement for you, and a lot of people sent it to me. ”

"This is a good thing!" Zhong Yuemin was confused.

"It was a good thing, but there are more and more cement, and now I can't pile it up at home!"

"I'll give you a total of a few dozen dollars, how can I charge so much?"

"After you collected all the money you gave me and collected the cement, I told the workers that they would not collect any money, but they still kept sending it to me, asking me to keep it in the account, and I would give it later. ”

Zheng Tong asked: "Are these workers stupid, you don't have any money to give, and you still have to send cement to you?"

"They weren't stupid at all, they couldn't get money back home, they gave me an account, and they weren't afraid that I would run away. Officer Zhao explained. "I've been asking for money these days, and it's like I owe them money. ”

"How much cement is there now?" Zhong Yuemin asked.

"It's already more than half a ton, and if it weren't for the strict management of the factory at the end of the year, there would be a lot more to send to me. ”

"Officer Zhao, put these cements here for you first, and pull them back when we go back to the village. Zhong Yuemin thought for a while, took out some money from Zheng Tong's schoolbag and handed it to Secretary Zhao, "You take the money first, and give the money you owe first." ”

"Then I'll take it first, and then I won't give the money, and those workers are afraid that they will be stuck in my house every day. Director Zhao happily took the money, and then said to Zhong Yuemin: "By the way, do you want this cement in the future?"

"I'll give you a letter after a while, and I'll see if there's anything missing on the construction site first. ”

"Cheng, you can tell me when the time comes. Director Zhao responded.

"Well, I've troubled Director Zhang during this time. When we went back to the village, we came to pull the cement. Zhong Yuemin thanked.

"Come while it's dark. Officer Zhao instructed.

When he went out, Zheng Tong began to complain: "We brought so much money with us to the county this time, and we originally wanted to buy some things to bring back! ”

"We didn't spend this money in vain, didn't we get so much cement?" Zhong Yuemin advised.

Zheng Tong said: "Cement can't be eaten as food, and if you get so much back, you can't use up the dam!"

"We can't use it up, other villages can always use it, let's just give it to them when the time comes." Zhong Yuemin thought about it for a moment and said.

"Yuemin, you're opportunistic!" Zheng Tong objected.

"How can you be speculative, shouldn't we just set up an engineering team, build overflow channels and drainage channels for others, and then collect some wages?"

"Is this okay?" Zheng Tong hesitated.

"Why not?" Zhong Yuemin asked rhetorically.

Zhong Yuemin carefully looked at the man squatting in the corner basking in the sun, "Yes, it's him." ”

"Why are you here?" asked Zhong Yuemin as he stepped forward.

Seeing that someone was blocking the sun, the dog baby immediately stretched out the bowl, "Good Samaritan, give me something to eat, I haven't eaten for three days." ”

"Isn't the dog baby stupid, look at who we are!" Zheng Tong said angrily.

Seeing the person clearly, the dog baby quickly stood up, "Zheng Tong and Yuemin are you, why are you also coming to the county seat?"

"What about your aunt and the baby? Didn't you come out together?" Zhong Yuemin didn't answer the dog's question, but asked.

The dog baby replied embarrassedly: "The foreheads are separated from each other, and it is easy for Chunhua to beg for food with the baby, but it will not work if the forehead is pestled on the side." ”

"That's right, you're a rough guy standing next to you, and people think you're robbing!" Zheng Tong said with a smile.

"Don't dare, don't dare. The dog knew that Zheng Tong was joking, but his humble posture couldn't be changed for a while.

"Did you get something to eat?" Zhong Yuemin asked.

"Hey, I'm not afraid of your jokes, I haven't asked for a single vegetable dumpling for so many days. ”

"Then you rely on your mother-in-law to beg for food?"

"There's no way, there's no one to beg for food, I want to go to work, and I don't have any skills, so I have the strength, but the strength in our place is not worth much. The dog squatted down again.

"You didn't eat it today, did you?"

"Not yet, there are few things that Chunhua has asked for today, so I have to eat a few babies first. The dog replied.

Seeing that the farmer who used to stand up to the sky in the village went to the city to beg for food for a few days, and became such a wretch, Zheng Tong said sadly: "This is too fucking fucked, it's too fucking to be busy all year round, and I can't even support my wife and children, and I have to come out to beg for food." ”

Zhong Yuemin didn't have any emotion, the key was that he couldn't solve his hunger. He asked, "Dog, if you can eat enough, would you like to follow us?"

"Huh?" the dog baby didn't hear clearly.

"I said if you were to have enough to eat, would you like to work with us?"
