The weather is still very hot, the sun is shining, and the sound of firecrackers and guns from time to time breaks the peace of the mountain village.

Li Jiaming, wearing a filial piety hat and a white shirt and black trousers, carried two baskets of snacks and braised vegetables, followed his cousin, who was carrying four cases of beer and a vegetarian body, and walked along the mountain road with thorns cut down to the grave of Tai'a Gong.

The joint burial tomb of Tai Ah Gong and Tai Grandma is located halfway up the mountain, overlooking the entire village of Yinzitan. According to feng shui, this is called a mountain behind the Ming Hall, which is a treasure land of feng shui, in fact, the ancestral tombs in the mountains are not all open in front and backed by the mountains?

The old and dilapidated tomb has been renovated, and the front prayer is paved with marble, so that a dozen or twenty people can kneel at the same time. Even the previous bluestone tombstone has been replaced with a white marble tombstone, which is carved with an owl tail, an owl kiss, flowers and birds, and so on.

The two cousins, who were sweating profusely, first set up the food and wine for the grandfather and maternal uncle who helped the helpers, and then took a few steps back to prepare to bow down to thank the relatives for their hard work. This is the tradition of the mountain people, those who do white ceremonies are the prime men of the clan, and those who meet small families want to do a white ceremonies, and even the eight big men who carry the coffin can't get together. Just like Li Jiaming's mother-in-law and mother passed away, he had to ask the clansmen to help from Xiushui, so that he could gather enough eight immortals to carry the coffin up the mountain.

"Jiaming, don't kneel!"

"Jiaming, quick, don't kneel!

More than a dozen sweaty grandfathers and uncles hurriedly supported Li Jiaming and didn't let him kneel, but let their nephew (grandson) You Guilun kowtow firmly. Don't look at yourself as an elder, but Jiaming is a Wenqu star, and he can be admitted to a prestigious university in the first year of high school, so he will lose his life if he kneels!

Speaking of which, this nephew has a real conscience. It is no longer profitable to build a small factory, so I immediately moved the small factory, invested hundreds of thousands of dollars in the village to build a white fungus base, and recruited everyone to be workers, which was easier than before, and I got more money.

You Guilun, who was dressed in filial piety, knelt on the ground, kowtowed honestly and thanked: "Father-in-law, uncle, uncle, I'm tired of you!"

It is a happy event to repair the bones and graves, which is equivalent to repairing a house for the ancestors, since it is a happy event, there is no sadness but joy. After kneeling, You Guilun didn't wait for his father-in-law and uncles to help, he got up and quickly pried open the lid of the beer and handed it to his father-in-law and uncles, jokingly: "Uncle Xuequan, you are a big official, and you are still used to doing these things?"

How many years have I not done such a job? You Xuequan, who was tired enough to choke, poured half a bottle of beer, wiped the hops from the corners of his mouth, sat in the freshly repaired Baiping, and said gratefully: "Hey, I have to come if I can't get used to it! I used to have no money to study, but Uncle Hsinchu wrote a donation of 50 yuan, and he also took tea money every time school started." Chengyue, it's been eighteen years since Uncle Hsinchu passed away, right?"

The first fifty yuan that year was unbelievable, and the pork was only five jiao and twenty-one pounds!

The swarthy and stout You Chengyue also poured half a bottle of beer, stuffed a piece of cake into his mouth, and sighed: "Almost, I remember that not long after I told you to be the first year old, my father-in-law in Hsinchu was gone." ”

"Hey, did you join the party in the army?"

"I just joined this year, and I still teach people in the family meeting!"

The swarthy You Chengyue wiped her sweat and looked at Li Jiaming's nephew gratefully, if it weren't for this conscientious nephew cub, this life would have been ruined.

After demobilization, I will go to Gao Bin to see if I can be stuffed into the Public Security Bureau. ”

You Chengyue was overjoyed, and hurriedly thanked: "Uncle Xuequan, then please!"

His wife was laid off and had nothing to do, so I was recruited to the factory as an accountant. He gets more than 400 yuan a month, and he only does things for three days, and he owes me a favor, so he has to pay it back, right?"

Everyone laughed a few words, and You Xuequan, who was flattered by the clansmen, also laughed, and casually called Li Jiaming, who was squatting there to pry the bottle cap for everyone, and asked: "Jiaming, is your white fungus base still built?"

It's really hard to agree, and the operating costs are there. Building a base in Grandma's house, in addition to taking care of Grandpa and maternal uncle, is also a reason to cut off the mushroom index of the Zhongxiao Liu family, even if Chen Dong has an opinion in his heart, he will understand; ”

It is a good thing to build a white fungus planting base, although it cannot collect taxes, but it can increase farmers' income. When the peasants have money, they will spend, which can lead to the prosperity of the market town. tasted the sweetness of opening a factory, and hurriedly discussed with this nephew: "Let me go, I will let Huangmei and Liangduan Primary Schools out, and the school building will be used for you for nothing, and I will also help you install a special transformer." Jiaming, if you are willing to invest hundreds of thousands, I can also ask the people of Huangmei and Liangduan to cooperate to build a dam on the river and build a small hydropower station, saving you 9 jiao 8 electricity. ”

If it weren't for the fact that Yinzitan was Li Jiaming's grandmother's house, and the small factories under Youyuan and Miaoxia could provide free fuel, the white fungus base under the mountain would not necessarily be built. Streams and rivers abound in the mountains, and the drop is huge, so building a small power station is a good way to reduce costs.

Li Jiaming pondered for a while, re-estimated the cost, and then hesitated: "Will Liu Benqiu agree?" Ah Gong, I fell out with him, he is now in charge of water and electricity, he won't get stuck with me, right?"

What this guy wanted, he was clearly not afraid of grievances, and he disdained the right to study with Li Jiaming's great admiration: "I'm afraid of a fart! Gaoqiao's affairs, and it is his turn to take care of it? Hmph, if he doesn't sign, I won't go directly to find President Ding? Don't worry, the water dog is not so open-eyed, if you don't bypass him, you will give him face!"

Also, power is given by the boss, and you can receive it if you can give it!

"Yes, I'll discuss it with Uncle Wang, anyway, your 'Dafa' factory is so big, and sawdust is enough to build two large bases. ”

This kid agreed, Wang Xiancheng, who served his job, dared to go against the grain?

With another political achievement in hand, the happily educated study tour suggested: "Jiaming, if the current situation continues, sooner or later our electricity will be insufficient, and we are worried that there will be no place to sell electricity? There are so many streams and rivers in the mountains, and if we build a small dam, we can build small hydropower." Don't underestimate these little things, a one-time investment can benefit you for decades!"

But the student tour who was drinking beer took the 'Marlboro' from his cousin and nephew, lit it with Huang Cancan's fake Zippo lighter, and continued to persuade: "Jiaming, open a company and run a factory, how can there be only one who makes money and does not lose money? Only by doing the business of 'clothing, food, housing, transportation', can you really make money without losing money. ”

Li Jiaming doesn't listen to this, investing in energy is indeed an excellent idea, although the income period is long, but the rate of return is too low, how can I have that spare money?

"Ah Gong, now I still owe more than 30 million yuan. ”

"Hehe, what are you afraid of with the bank's money? You owe more than 100,000 or 200,000 yuan, and they will force you to pay it back every day, and if you owe so much, they beg you not to collapse! Hehe, that is, Zeng Ningsheng They are timid and have a long-term vision, otherwise the small river with such a big gap between Liang Duan and Huangmei will still be your turn?"

Li Jiaming was in good spirits and hurriedly said, "Grandpa, has the bank been reformed?"

"Don't you know? Oh, you're taking the college entrance examination and taking revenge, how do you know these things? Let me tell you, banks are commercialized, you should know what commercialization is, right?"

Of course, this is a very good thing! Although after commercialization, the government still has influence on banks, but that influence is decreasing year by year.

On weekdays, the bosses have to rely on both the government and the banks, and as long as these two companies are not the same company, there is most of the room for maneuver in between. If the commercial reform had been carried out two years earlier, the factory would not have had to bird the officials at all, but could have forced the officials to give the factory more preferential policies.

Hehe, it's good that the people don't fight with the officials, but sometimes, the officials can't fight with the people. It's a pity!

After delivering snacks to the helpers' grandfather and maternal uncle, the two cousins carried empty baskets and empty baskets down the mountain. Back at his grandmother's house, Li Jiaming followed his grandfather and uncle to kneel down to welcome the guests.

It is said that nephews and great-grandchildren can not wear filial piety, let alone kneel and worship, several nephews of Ah Gong are wearing filial piety hats and playing cards, and even aunts and aunts are sitting there drinking tea and chatting. But who let Li Jiaming, a nephew and a cub, have a chance to make his grandfather and maternal uncle's faces shine.

The Buddha fights for a furnace of incense, people fight for a breath, people live in the world, in addition to food and clothing, is it just to make a face?
