Chapter 5 The village is really poor

Liufang Town is located in the western part of Pingjiang City because of the barren land. With little land and many people, and slow economic development, Pingjiang City has always been a poor area.

Soon after Li Chun got off the bus in Liufang Town, his clothes were drenched in a miserable drizzle. He saw that most of the houses in the town were old, because of the rain, there were not many pedestrians on the streets, and the whole town seemed to be depressed. It makes people feel a chill in their hearts.

Li Chun walked around the station for a long time and didn't wait for Wei Bing. The call showed that Wei Bing was not in the service area. Just when the two of them were worried about the safety of Wei Bing, a shrill horn sounded in front of him. It scared him so much that he suddenly felt a thrill all over his body. He looked forward and saw a man in a raincoat, an ink lens and a scarf. Standing on a farm tractor waving to them.

Seeing that Li Chun did not react, the people on the tractor immediately took off their sunglasses and revealed their faces. When Li Chun saw this person, he immediately smiled. It turned out that the person dressed in this dress was Wei Bing.

Wei Bing jumped out of the car and asked, how is it, buddy is fashionable enough!

It's fashionable enough! It can scare people! Li Chun said with a smile.

How is it, have you found a place?" Li Chun asked eagerly.

But first, I'd like to introduce you to a personal acquaintance. After Wei Bing finished speaking, he took him to the tractor, and at this moment, the driver of the tractor also got out of the car.

Li Chun looked at this man, he looked very burly. With a height of about 1.8 meters, a pair of eyes on the face of the national character are blazing! There seems to be a heroic spirit between the eyebrows. Li Chun and the others looked at his appearance, as if they had seen him before, but they felt very unfamiliar.

Seeing Li Chun and Li Chun hesitating, Wei Bing hurriedly introduced that this is Liu Ke, the younger brother of our deceased comrade-in-arms Liu Chang.

When Li Chun heard this, he immediately understood. It turned out to be Liu Chang's brother. No wonder they look so alike!

Your eldest brother was also in such a spirit back then, but because of an accident, he left us prematurely. It's a pity to think about it!" Li Chun said regretfully.

It turned out that Liu Ke's eldest brother, Liu Chang, was a comrade-in-arms of the three of them, and the four of them had an excellent relationship in the army! It was a pity that Liu Chang unfortunately encountered a car accident during a training session in the army. Passed away prematurely.

This time, Wei soldiers went to the countryside to select a site for the dairy farm. When passing by Liufang Town, I wanted to send some money to Liu Chang's family. I didn't want him to come to Meihua Village, Liu Chang's hometown, and feel that it was very suitable for setting up a factory, so he immediately called Li Chun and the others.

Liu Ke is a real person, he saw that Li Chun was very wet in the rain, and immediately took out a raincoat from the tractor and put it on for him. Then he drove the two of them in a tractor to Mei Village.

Along the way, the tractor drove bumpy, making people's internal organs jump up and down. Wei Bing asked Li Chun with a smile, how is it, can you stand it!

Li Chun replied loudly, "It's really enjoyable!" It's a bit like riding in an armored car for exercises back then. If only they had brought a submachine gun and had a shuttle on it! The two brothers came to Taohua Village in the bumpy ride of the tractor.

As soon as the tractor drove into Taohua Village, it was obvious that the village was backward. The village is full of low, earthy houses. Many of the roof tiles have fallen off. The telephone poles in the village are still the black telephone poles that Li Chun saw when he was a child. Under the action of rain, the sound of static electricity was heard from time to time on the telephone poles.

After a while, the tractor stopped at the door of Liu Ke's house. At this time, the smell of food was already coming from the house.

Liu Ke's house is an ordinary yellow mud house, except for the stove, there are only two rooms, inside and outside. Liu Ke enthusiastically took the two to the back room. Her daughter-in-law had already stewed a chicken and was waiting for the three of them to come over for dinner.

Li Chun was already hungry at the moment, and immediately gobbled it up with Wei Bing. Liu Ke and his daughter-in-law also accompanied them, pouring wine for the three of them from time to time. Chat with them.

Just as the three of them were happy to eat, two small heads squeezed out of the crack in the door of the outhouse, and their eyes were dripping at the dishes on their table.

Liu Ke looked at the heads that stuck in, which were his twin sons. He said loudly, "You two go back to the back room and do your homework." Don't come out if it's okay.

However, Li Chun likes children the most, and he sees that the twins are cute. Immediately called them out. Looking at the children who looked exactly the same, Li Chun hugged them all on his lap, both children were seven or eight years old, lively and active. After a while, he became familiar with Li Chun and others.

Li Chun took a piece of chicken leg and handed it to the child's door. deliberately teased them and said, is this chicken leg eaten by the elder brother or the younger brother?

What he didn't expect was that Liu Ke's eldest son immediately snatched the chicken leg when he saw it. Under the gaze of several people, he ran to the outhouse with his younger brother like crazy.

The children's behavior made Li Chun and the others feel strange, they didn't care about Liu Ke and his wife's obstruction, and followed the children into the outhouse.

To their surprise, there was an old lady with gray hair and gauze over her eyes lying on the kang in the outhouse at this time. Two children are feeding chicken thighs to the old lady's mouth. Liu Ke's eldest son said while feeding. Grandma eats chicken! This meat is delicious! But the old lady kept her mouth shut and said that she would not eat the chicken.

At this moment, the light rain outside the house has stopped. But a gust of north wind blew. The wind blew on an unsealed glass in the outhouse, making a whining sound. I can't help but chill people's hearts for a while!

Could it be that this old lady is the mother of a deceased comrade-in-arms? Li Chun turned around and asked Liu Ke loudly, saying, What the hell is going on!

When Liu Ke saw this scene, his face turned red. He clenched his fists and couldn't speak.

His two twins saw this and immediately got off the kang. Pulling Li Chun's trouser leg and said, Uncle, don't blame my father. It's not good for us, Dad heard that you were coming, and asked Mom to kill the only old hen in the house that laid eggs. Grandma is not in good health, we want to get her some to eat!

As soon as Li Chun heard it, he understood that Liu Ke's family was having a bad time. He picked up the child and turned to Wei Bing and said, Do you know all this before?

Wei Bing shook his head and said, I really don't know this. I only thought that his family must be in difficulty, but I didn't expect it to be like this.

Liu Ke squatted down at this time. He held his head and said that his brother and father had passed away one after another in the past few years. Mom's eyes were also blind from crying. The family owes a large amount of medical bills. The doctor said that if you want your mother to see, you have to have a cornea transplant. The cost of finding the right cornea and the surgery is added together, and it takes about 200,000 yuan. Two children have also reached school age. Relying on the harvest of these acres alone, it is not a matter at all. Because I have to take care of the elderly, I can't go out to work like everyone else. So life at home is hard!

Fortunately, my brother has you comrades-in-arms, and he sent us money twice in three days. We've just gotten through this!

This time, my mother asked me to receive you well. Thank you for helping our family over the years!

After listening to Liu Ke's words, the atmosphere in the room suddenly froze, Li Chun and the others did not expect that the situation of their deceased comrade-in-arms was so bad. Li Chun himself really regretted that he hadn't come here earlier. He said excitedly to Liu Ke, don't worry! As long as we are here. Auntie's eyes will definitely be cured!

After finishing speaking, Li Chun took out three thousand yuan from his pocket and said, you take this money first. After we go back, we will contact the hospital and make sure that the eldest lady can see again.

Liu Ke saw that Li Chun cared so much about himself, and he was so excited that he didn't know what else to say! He immediately wanted to kneel down and kowtow to Li Chun.

Seeing this, Li Chun hurriedly stopped him and said, don't be like this, we are your brother's comrades-in-arms, and we are all called brothers in the army. His mother is our mother. I will help you willingly. Besides, we have taken a fancy to the place of Peach Blossom Village and are going to set up a business here.

As soon as Liu Ke heard that Li Chun was coming to the village to set up a factory, he immediately became happy. He couldn't stop nodding and said, don't worry, Brother Li! As long as it's your business, I will definitely handle it! I will immediately invite the village chief to discuss with you!

Liu Ke was so anxious that he ran out of the house without waiting for Li Chun to speak. After only a while, the village chief Li Daniu was invited over.

Li Daniu is over 60 years old this year and has been the village chief in Taohua Village for more than 30 years. Because Taohua Village is located in a remote area, there are many people and few places. Compared with other villages, they have become poorer and poorer over the years! Most of the adults in the village have gone to work in the county and Pingjiang City. Only a few women and children were left in the village to make ends meet.

In fact, Li Daniu has long had the idea of going out to work, but the old and young in the village still have to rely on themselves to communicate up and down to apply for relief. Every time the relief money came down, he saw the gratitude of the villagers. Li Daniu's thoughts of going out to work disappeared immediately.

As soon as he heard that someone was going to come to the village to invest and set up a factory, he immediately followed Liu Ke over. After seeing Li Chun and the others, he immediately said that as long as it was good for the village, he would give his full support.

Li Daniu's attitude made Li Chun very satisfied. Early the next morning, under the leadership of Li Daniu, Li Chun and others visited the village.

Li Chun's most important thing is the issue of water, after all, the raw material for his milk production is water. Fortunately, there is no shortage of water in this peach blossom village, and there is a peach blossom pond not far from the village. The vicinity of this peach blossom pond is lush with trees. The water quality is also very clean and delicious! Li Daniu couldn't help but boast that according to legend, this pool of water is connected to the bottom of the East China Sea, and for as long as I can remember, no matter how big the drought is, this pool of water has never dried up.

After Li Chun filled the container with some pool water, he split Li Daniu and the others. He tried it out in the container with his superpowers, and found that there were no other anomalies, and the milk was still transformed as usual.

It seems that this is indeed a good place to set up a factory! Not to mention the remote location, the water quality and quantity are also good.

After Li Chun and Wei Bing met, they decided to set up a factory in Taohua Village. In the early stage, one million was invested first, and Wei Bin was allowed to stay here and build the factory first.

Li Daniu was very happy when he heard that Li Chunzhen was going to build a factory here. He hurriedly said, you can choose the place where you want to build the factory. Our village fully cooperated.

Li Chun pointed to a huge open space near Taohuatan and said, "Our milk factory has chosen to build here."

Looking at the place chosen by Li Chun. Li Daniu shook his head and said, It's not good here, the ground near Taohuatan is full of stones. Construction is time-consuming. You'll spend more, too. There is vacant land in the village, but it is really not possible, even if it is a farm base, we can donate it!

Looking at the simple Li Daniu, Li Chun's heart was moved for a while. Let's just choose here! The stones are machine-gouged. You can't use the farmland of the villagers. Wei Bing, you must pay attention to this!

Don't worry!" Wei Bing replied earnestly. A few people walked around the village again, and Li Chun saw that the primary school in the village was already dilapidated. Not to mention the students of several grades huddled together in class, the children couldn't even get together the desks and textbooks! And Liu Ke's twins were among these children. Seeing this scene, his heart was congested again.

Li Chun instructed Wei Bing. When the engineering team comes, you can rebuild this school first. After I buy the desks and textbooks, I will send someone to deliver them!

After the affairs in the village were dealt with, Li Chun was worried that Chen Chao would not be able to cope with it alone in the city, so he was in a hurry to rush back to Pingjiang, and he said goodbye to Wei Bing and Li Daniu. He got on Liu Ke's tractor again and drove towards Liufang Town.

But what people didn't expect was that they couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Liu Ke's tractor broke down on the way to and from Liufang Town and stopped halfway.

Liu Ke carefully inspected it for a while, then scratched his head and said. Brother Li is really embarrassed! Because the village is poor, the tractor's fuel tank is always half refueled. Because I didn't expect you to leave in such a hurry! I forgot to refuel today. There are usually no cars on this dirt road. You wait for me a while, and I'll go to the nearest gas station to buy diesel.

Li Chun knew that the village was indeed very difficult, and he couldn't say anything more. had to sit next to the tractor and wait for Liu Ke.

However, he waited for a long time, and Liu Ke did not come back. There was not a single pedestrian passing by on the dirt road. The bored Li Chun had no choice but to wander around.

After the rain, the air in the mountains is exceptionally fresh. The potholes near the dirt road even form small ponds. In the light of the sun, it shimmers with a golden light.

The bored Li Chun squatted down and gently flicked the clear water in the pond with his fingers. A chill came from his fingers.

Li Chun gently flicked away the water droplets on his fingers, and suddenly thought in his heart. How nice it would be if the water in this pond could be turned into diesel!

Amazingly, the thought had just crossed his mind. A reddish light flashed from his fingers and shot straight into the pool.

In Li Chun's astonishment, streams of red bubbles overflowed from the pond. After a while, the water in the pond gradually turned red. The smell of diesel fuel permeated the pond.
