PS. Present the May Day update, don't hurry up to play after reading, remember to vote for the month first. From now on, you can enjoy double monthly passes for the 515 Fan Festival, and you can also take a look at other activities with red envelopes!

Nature is like a tape that plays on a loop, singing the same cheerful song every spring.

The Shiqiao River is rising in spring, green trees and grass are sprouting, wheat and bean seedlings are growing wildly in the spring breeze, crabs and loaches are poking their heads out from under the cracks in the rocks at the same time, and frogs are also busy breeding offspring.

But this year, a beat was added to the spring song of the stone bridge, which made the whole stone bridge lively in another way.

The compound of the Shiqiao Supply and Marketing Cooperative was leased to a boss from Hunan, and the sign of "Shiqiao Xiangjiang Fireworks and Firecrackers Factory" was hung, and rows of simple factories have been built in the upper reaches of the Shiqiao River; The state-owned cotton mill, which was on the verge of bankruptcy, was privately acquired under the name of "Jiacang Silk Co., Ltd."; The Ishibashi Distillery was contracted by a small workshop, and a large brick factory began to take shape......

Whether it was a foreign "monk" or a local "monk", they suddenly recited the business scriptures in the small temple of Shiqiao. Not to mention ten years ago, even a year ago I would not have dared to think of it.

This is all because of Secretary Yan's instructions - "Support the western mountainous areas, especially Shiqiao Township, to get rid of poverty as soon as possible!" "The major government departments took urgent action, and the funds that came to them took the lead in supporting the western area, and the bank loans were given to farmers and entrepreneurs without interest for three years, and the one-way road out of the mountain was doubled to build a two-lane road of the same scale as the provincial highway.

These changes are, of course, closely related to farmers. The factories at the doorstep of the house are facing the society to recruit workers, "half-work and half-farming" has become a new state of activity, and the form of "engaging in sideline business" has crossed from the scope of agriculture to industry.

Unlike many rural areas, the people of Shiqiao have not yet experienced "going out", and these so-called "companies" have been brought in. In many cases, "sending teachers to the door" is because the teaching materials are divorced from reality, and the effect will be counterproductive.

After all, they are all small factories, and they still have certain requirements for technology, and some just change the soup but not the medicine, and there is no need to recruit workers at all. So in the end, I entered the factory to "engage in a side business". It's just a young man who relies on relationships to go through the back door. With a salary of forty or fifty yuan a month, he has created a negligible economic benefit for Shiqiao.

Shufen was busy in her forest farm. She is not optimistic about the new factories in the township, she feels that Shiqiao has no conditions to set up factories at all, and those factories are for farmers. It really doesn't have much of a driving effect.

There are also more than a dozen young men and women who have graduated from junior high school in the village and work in firecracker factories or cotton mills, but these young people are the labor force needed in the countryside, and they are the knowledge farmers who can promote "rejuvenating agriculture through science and technology." They are now more tired than working in the fields for that dozens of dollars a month. It's not worth it to leave your elderly parents or even grandparents at home!

And, if you look at Yang Zejian, the deputy director of the firecracker factory, you know what will happen to the factory!

Of course, let's look at this ruffian "cheap dog" from the perspective of development for the time being, after all, he is now the director of the big factory who walks sideways on the stone bridge, and even Secretary Luo is hunched over to light a cigarette for him.

This kid ran outside the year before last and wandered around, and he didn't know what tricks he used, he married a mother-in-law from Hunan, and his father-in-law opened a firecracker factory. He also learned some techniques along with it. When I came back for the Spring Festival, I heard that Jiacang encouraged investment in building factories, not only tax incentives, but also interest-free loans from the bank.

The old man came to inspect and did what he said. First moved her daughter's hukou over, and then registered the factory in her name, and the firecracker factory in Shiqiao was officially established. Hunan woman Huang Yun served as the factory director, and Yang Zejian also fished out a deputy factory director.

"Shufen. You said that this person really wants to go out, you look at the virtue of the cheap dog, and now he is still a factory director! Guoqiang sat on the branch of an orange tree and said with a smile. Guoqiang and his family happened to be in the forest farm today to help Shufen repair orange branches.

"Brother-in-law, you also have a chance. Look at your fish pond, you can earn a lot of money a year! ”

"What's up to him?" Shufang picked up the branches and said with a smile, "If he hadn't had a holiday with Uncle Jianyi, I would have gone to make artillery (firecrackers) for others!" ”

"Sister, you should take good care of your fish baby! Don't you earn more than others in a month? ”

"Yes. Many! Hehe, Shufen, Guangwen really promised you to copy (dialect, meaning 'grafting') orange tree! ”

"Well, I'll be here in a few days. Brother-in-law, you have to trim all the branches on the top as I said......" Shufen thought of the encounter between Zhengyue and Brother Guangwen, and her heart became worried again.

To the north of Yantai Mountain, there are still endless mountains. Is the lover already packing his bags and coming to this land of hope?

On the day of the Lantern Festival, Shufen finally confided in her sadness, and fortunately Brother Guangwen echoed so enthusiastically. How happy they were at that moment! Even the strong Guangwen cried with joy.

That day, Shufen did not follow Guangwen to his house again, they talked a lot on that stone, and Guangwen suddenly changed from a peasant to a poet, and every word of his words stepped on the rhythm of poetry and tugged at Shufen's heartstrings.

In the end, Shufen asked him to come to Yangjiawan to graft orange trees, Guangwen nodded and agreed, and then said: "I am not grafting orange trees, and the hope of our life, such a large orchard, will be the most beautiful place in Shiqiao in the future!" You wait for me! ”

Their affection was interrupted by Guangwen Niang's call. Shufen stood up and reluctantly said goodbye to her lover; Guangwen didn't invite Shufen to his house again, he knew that Shufen's tears just now must have come from his mother's lies!

There have been some changes in the views of Guangwen's parents. On the one hand, the son's career has improved considerably, although it seems to them to be an unhonorable profession; On the other hand, the child is getting older and older, and Lao Wang's habit of picking up a flat shoulder and hoe and beating people at every turn should also be changed!

As for the marriage of Guangwen and Ding Ping, they were not too demanding. Because of the simple rural people, they also believe in "marriage".

"Wen'er, Yang Shufen came to you that day, saying that she was calling you to go and give her an orange tree!" Guangwen Niang thought about it for several days, but still relayed Shufen's words to her son.

Because that day she saw Shufen and her son hugging each other on the field, he could feel that his son was older, and many things could not be put on with them.

"Oh!" Guangwen just responded.

"You go...... Or not? She asked tentatively.

"Mother, what do you say?"

"I don't know, that's your business! I told your father, but your father didn't say let, and he didn't say no......"

"Oh, then I'll go, after all, people have also helped us, and he introduced Dr. He to cure your illness......"
