The Nanhe River starts from the source of the Dongshan mountain forest in Taohualing Village and ends at the Hulushan Reservoir. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info This small river, which is about 10 kilometers long, is full of fine river sand. According to rough estimates, at least 300,000 cubic meters of river sand are stored under this section of the riverbed. These river sands are formed by the alluvial accumulation of various gravel particles washed down from the sandy and gravel mountains through which the river passes over many years. In the eyes of the locals in 1991, the sand in the river could not be dug up. However, when the time came to 2012, everyone found that the river sand in the South River had turned completely clean, and the riverbed was full of foul-smelling silt.

Taohualing Village is located at the headwaters of the Nanhe River, and about two kilometers of the river is located within the boundaries of Taohualing Village.

There is a lot of wealth in the river sand, which the people of Taohualing Village did not realize before Wang Xiangzhong did not sell the river sand.

300,000 square meters of river sand, sold all at the 1991 price, can also be exchanged for more than 7 million.

What is the concept of more than seven million?

In 1991, the annual financial income of Dazhai Township was only 300,000 yuan, and 7 million was an unimaginable number for the head of Dazhai Township at that time.

Wang Xiangzhong hired all the 12 tractors in the village, found 36 laborers from the village to load the tractors with sand, and then asked his brother-in-law to help, and throughout the tenth month of the lunar calendar, he has been supplying sand to the construction site of National Highway 205.

By the beginning of the eleventh month of the lunar calendar, when the section of National Highway 205 in Gangcheng County was completed, Wang Xiangzhong had accumulated enough to make the whole family proud of the first pot of gold.

On the third day of the 11th lunar month in 1991, Wang Xiangzhong settled all his wages, wore a newly bought leather jacket, and walked leisurely on the main road in the village.

"Xiang Zhong, what are you going to do?" Ma Huanchang, the village chief who walked out of the village committee compound, saw Wang Xiangzhong from a distance and hurriedly waved hello.

Because he has made a lot of money, Wang Xiangzhong's waist is now straighter, and his tone of speech has changed a little differently from before, and he has become much more confident than before.

"Village Chief Ma, I'll go to Cui Cripple to help me prune the fruit trees." Wang Xiangzhong walked across from Ma Huanchang, held his hand and said.

"I heard that your kid made a lot of money by supplying sand to the road construction site of National Highway 205 in the first few days, and you told me the truth, how much did you earn?"

Wang Xiangzhong was a little proud to dig five fingers, and said to Ma Huanchang with a smile: "Earn this number!" ”

As he spoke, Wang Xiangzhong was still a little excited. After settling the accounts yesterday, Wang Xiangzhong was surprised that he had sold so much money by digging sand in a month.

Ma Huanchang was surprised and lifted the sheepskin hat on his head, held Wang Xiangzhong's hand and said with some trembling: "My Di Niang, you actually earned 5,000 yuan?" ”

Wang Xiangzhong paused, suppressed his excitement, and said, "Add one more zero." ”

Ma Huanchang's hand holding his hat trembled, and the hat on his head fell to the ground: "What's that, I'm a mother, 50,000 yuan?!" You're now the top kid in our village! Okay, good job! Now that you are rich, don't forget about the difficulties in the village, help the big guys. ”

Wang Xiangzhong hurriedly bent down to help Ma Huanchang pick up the hat that fell on the ground, handed it to him, and said: "That's it, what you said about the village chief, I can have today, and it is all the help of the old and young masters in the village, I am rich now, and I will definitely not forget everyone." ”

In fact, Wang Xiangzhong should really thank the old and young masters in the village, he looked for those who had tractors, and none of them were unhappy, he looked for labor to load sand, and everyone was also active. In fact, this is also due to the benefits of his son's rabbit meat that he brought some time ago for everyone to eat. Everyone ate his rabbit meat, and when he needed everyone, everyone naturally wouldn't push back. Of course, he didn't treat everyone badly, driving a tractor could get 50 yuan a day from him, and a laborer could get 30 a day, which was an absolute high wage at that time. Follow him for a month, and the entire Taohualing Village will be able to have a good year.

"Village chief, I'm going to find Cui Cripple, you are busy first, and when I'm done, let's have a good drink."

According to the generations in the village, Wang Xiangzhong and Ma Huanchang are of the same generation.

When Ma Huanchang heard Wang Xiangzhong say this, he slapped Wang Xiangzhong on the back and said with a smile: "This is still like a human saying." ”

Seeing that Wang Xiangzhong disappeared at the turn of the alley in front of him, Ma Huanchang shook his head and said to himself: "What kind of blessing is this, Wang Xiangzhong, this kid is usually silent, but I didn't expect this kid to look honest on the outside, but he is actually a good person." ”

This sentence may be regarded as Ma Huanchang's highest evaluation of all the villagers of Taohualing Village. has been the village chief for 25 years, and in his eyes, which of the villagers of Taohualing Village is worthy of his eyes.

Wang Xiangzhong came to Cui Cripple's house, stood at the door and coughed dryly, and then raised his voice and shouted, "Is Old Cui at home?" ”

Cui Cripple's home is no different from Wang Xiangzhong's home, with three thatched houses, a small patio, a vegetable garden in the middle, a stone wall around the house, and the gate is tied up with sour jujube branches. There is no lock on the gate, only a hook twisted with wire, the gate is open, and Cui Cripple should be at home.

"Who? Ah, it's Xiang Zhong, come to the house. ”

Cui Cripple came out of the house, and when he saw that it was Wang Xiangzhong, he hurriedly took three steps and made two steps to greet him.

Now Wang Xiangzhong made a fortune all of a sudden, and the news has spread throughout Taohualing Village, some say that he has earned tens of thousands, and some say that he has earned 100,000 yuan, anyway, everyone knows one thing, he Wang Xiangzhong is now a wealthy family in Taohualing Village.

It is estimated that Taohualing Village can be about the same as Wang Xiangzhong's money, that is, the village chief's family who has been the village chief for 25 years and the Yang Shilong family who has led the Taohualing Village construction team for more than ten years. In the eyes of the villagers of Taohualing Village, any of these three can be said to be full of brilliance when they arrive at their homes.

"Brother, your legs and feet are not good, so slow down."

Wang Xiangzhong saw that Cui Cripple almost fell, so he hurriedly stepped forward to help him and entered the house together.

"Brother, is Ming'er busy? If you're not busy, help me go to the orchard and prune the fruit trees, fifteen yuan a day. After entering the house, Wang Xiangzhong sat down and asked straight to the point.

Pruning fruit trees is not as hard as digging sand in the river, so the salary of fifteen yuan a day is reasonable, but in fact it is higher than the price of others. This salary of fifteen yuan a day is also the result of discussions between Wang Zheng's family. Last year, the daily wage for pruning fruit trees was 10 yuan, and because the Wang family now has a lot of money, they feel that they can afford to give everyone a little more.

"Okay, this salary is a lot of miles, of course I have to do it, this old lame."

Wang Xiangzhong nodded and said with a smile: "That's okay, I'll make up my mind about you, I'll go to other houses to take a look, I'm now contracting all the orchards, and I have to find at least ten people who can prune fruit trees to help." ”

"Since that's the case, then I won't keep you, Xiang Zhong will wait for you to come to my house to drink a cup when you are free, I have good wine here." Cui Cripple pointed to a glass bottle at the head of his bed, which was filled with wine, soaked in some medicinal herbs such as He Shou Wu, wild ginseng, scorpion centipede, and so on.

"Hey, okay, I already knew that you have this good thing here, brother, when I have time to make a few good dishes, let's have a good drink."
