The road is a loess road, and because of the lack of rain since July, the road is soft floating soil, and the wheels are sinking into the resistance, so Xiao Fei simply got out of the car and pushed it.

Greeting the villagers all the way.

Xiao Fei saw that the faces of the villagers were solemn, and many people had a sad look between their eyebrows.

This is all caused by the cotton bollworm plague, which is raging, and the cotton fields on which farmers depend for their survival are facing great pressure to be harvested, and no one can be happy.

The air is filled with the smell of pesticides, making it almost impossible to breathe.

Along the winding loess road, Xiao Fei finally approached the mound.

On the hill is dense thorns, locust trees and jujube trees grow on it, lush. This mound is also a paradise for small animals, with hares, pheasants and badgers on it. In autumn, the wild jujube on the hill is ripe, and the branches are bent one by one, attracting nearby people to climb up and pick.

This was once Xiao Fei's childhood paradise.

Here, Xiao Fei's countless good times have been sealed.

Xiao Fei knew that the mounds besieging the village would soon be shoveled away, and the soil would be pulled away by large trucks and turned into a roadbed for the highway.

A flash of light flashed through his mind.

An opportunity came to mind.

Now, this mound is just a chicken rib thing for the village, and even the village cadres have tried their best to bulldoze it and turn it into a field where crops can be grown.

It's just that the amount of work is too large for the village to bear, so it continues to stand on the plain.

But Xiao Fei knew that the Jichang Expressway through X City was going to start construction later in 1996, requiring a large amount of earthwork, and the engineering party looked around for a place where the soil could be taken.

No one in the village knows how much money this continuous earthen hill was sold, but there is one thing that everyone has seen, that is, Liu Zhenhai made a windfall because of this, his family built a two-story small house, and bought a house in the city, and since then he has started a big business and become a well-known rich man in the neighborhood.

If you can get ahead of the Jichang Expressway Project and contract the soil hill in the village, won't you be able to grab a windfall?

The average height of the mound surrounding the village is 8 or 9 meters, the width is more than 40 meters, and the length is 4 or 5 miles.

There are still a lot of earthworks that can be produced, at least at 8 or 900,000 square meters.

Regarding the price of loess, Xiao Fei doesn't know what the market was around 96, but after 2000, the price of earthwork gradually soared, and it was normal for a cubic meter to sell for more than 10 yuan.

This loess hill that looks like a long dragon is simply a small gold mountain.

Dry! Be sure to take it down as soon as possible. Xiao Fei clenched his fists.

What made Xiao Fei feel depressed was that he had nowhere to find the money to contract the soil for a while, and his family would definitely not be able to come up with the money. Xiao Fei didn't know how much the village would ask him for the contract.

Liu Zhenhai, the village head, is the tyrant of this Xili Village, and he has the final say on all the major and minor affairs in the village, so he has to think of a way not to let him obstruct it.

In this way, Xiao Fei's mood to earn manuscript fees is even hotter.

I will start writing tonight, and I will definitely earn a sum of money as soon as possible and get the contracting rights of Tugang.

Passing through the narrow pass, a village appeared in front of Xiao Fei. The messy courtyards are crowded together in the east and west. The houses of blue bricks and red tiles, the courtyards with fences or earthen walls, and the sounds of chickens and dogs show the peace and happiness of this village.

The village street is deserted, and occasionally a few children run through like smooth mud monkeys.

Xiao Fei's house is at the west end of the village, three dilapidated houses, the roof is full of thatch, the yard is quite large, there is no fence, and it is tied up with a fence. In the yard, a few tufts of greens, eggplant, zucchini and other vegetables are planted.

This home exudes an air of dilapidation.

Pushing the cart to the gate of the courtyard, Xiao Fei saw a girl squatting at the door wearing a short-sleeved floral shirt, covering her face and crying.

Beside her knelt straight a young man, his face full of sorrow.

Xiao Fei's brows furrowed.

The scene in front of us is so familiar.

It was his sister Xiao Yan who was squatting there and crying, and the man kneeling on the ground was called Qian Guangwen, who was the object of his sister and belonged to a nearby Qian village.

According to the trajectory of historical development, Xiao Fei knew that it was Liu Zhenhai's wife who came to the house to say that the matchmaker was coming. Liu Zhenhai's wife is a fat woman with a short temperament, who scolds and scolds on the village street every once in a while, and is a famous shrew in Xili Village.

Her mother-in-law has an only son, who is a fool and has never been able to marry a daughter-in-law.

Her calculation was to let the Xiao family change relatives with her brother's family, Xiao Yan marry the fool, and the fool's sister marry Xiao Fei's brother Xiao Yang.

This is where the tragedy of the Xiao family begins.

The fool's sister is also a rude and unreasonable, after the two families changed parents, not only ruined the happiness of my sister's life, but also ruined my brother.

The sister-in-law who was exchanged for relatives thought that the Xiao family was poor, and smashed pots and bowls at home all day long, arguing with her father-in-law and scolding her mother-in-law. Naturally, the short-tempered Xiao Yang couldn't stand it, and the two of them fought at two ends for three days.

Later, the sister-in-law said goodbye and ran away secretly.

Liu Zhenhai's family also bullied people, saying that the person was lost by the Xiao family, and now there is no news, and the Xiao family must be responsible.

For this reason, my brother was even arrested by the police station and locked up for a few days.

The sister-in-law who ran away never came back, and the elder brother raised the child alone, so to speak, suffered for a lifetime. And Xiao Yan, who married a fool, was also depressed all her life and was bullied in her in-law's family.

"Xiao Fei, you're back." Qian Guangwen, who was kneeling on the ground, greeted Xiao Fei.

"Hmm." Xiao Fei answered, and didn't ask the reason, he tied up the car, dragged his sister up from the ground and said, "Sister, what are you crying for, as long as you don't agree, no one can force you." ”

Xiao Yan looked at her younger brother with teary eyes and shook her head: "Brother, I can't agree to it, no matter what, I can't let my brother fight for a lifetime, it's all fate, I can't refuse to accept my fate." ”

This sister is docile and honest, and always thinks too much about her family, even if she sacrifices herself.

Qian Guangwen next to him was anxious: "Xiao Yan, that person is a fool, if you marry him, you won't be happy, I will tell your father, I will tell your father about marrying your brother, I Qian Guangwen has taken care of it, I don't believe that a living person can be suffocated by urine, as long as you can earn money, are you afraid that you won't be able to marry a daughter-in-law?" ”

Qian Guangwen and his sister were junior high school classmates, and they started talking when they were in school.

It would be nice for children in rural areas to graduate from junior high school.

Qian Guangwen is also a brain-piercing, after not going to school, he has been doing small business, grinding tofu, steaming steamed buns, raising chickens and pigs, selling clothing, opening a supermarket, running a leather shoe factory, in short, he has made a lot of attempts, and later made a fortune.

"Sister, Qian Guangwen is right, now our family is a little poorer, but as long as you are willing to work hard, it is also a matter of making a fortune very quickly, how can you not put your whole life into it." Xiao Fei said something for Qian Guangwen.

Qian Guangwen glanced at Xiao Fei gratefully.

But Xiao Yan obviously didn't believe their words.

"I can't let my brother be a bachelor for the rest of his life." Xiao Yan muttered, her face full of sorrow.

"Sister, just wake up! Don't be stupid again, okay? Brother is not as frustrated as you think, without your sacrifice, he will not be a bachelor for a lifetime, you are a sister, why do you have so much heart? Xiao Fei couldn't help yelling at her, this sister has a little tendon in her brain.

He's really in a hurry.

In the previous life, my brother was resolutely opposed to the change of parents, and the parents have always been ambiguous, but my sister didn't know what evil she had fallen into, and finally under the coaxing of Liu Zhenhai's wife, she ran to the fool's house, and finally facilitated the change of parents in a way that caused the established facts.

If my sister is not persuaded to do so, tragedy can still happen.
