Volume 1 Hard Times Chapter 051 Good Things Come in Pairs (Ask for Collection)
Seeing that Zhang Caixia tasted a rice ball, Hong Yan gave a thumb up behind his back and praised it. The aunt, sister-in-law, and second uncle from afar all saw it and were very happy. In fact, she didn't touch the things in Rongrong's bowl at all. It turned out that they were also testing Zhang Caixia's character. In fact, the little girl at this time is so clean that people are pitiful.
After afternoon tea, Zhang's mother did not propose to leave. This indicates the possibility of further development. Hong Yan took Rongrong to the backyard, where her grandmother cooked with her mother, and her aunt accompanied her future sister-in-law to chat with Zhou Di. The matchmaker accompanied Zhang's mother and went to Chen's house to set up a dragon gate formation with Mrs. Du. This level can't be prevented.
The second uncle gave them a small basket of fruits, purple grapes, orange navel oranges, red oranges, and even yellow and red apricots. Zhang Caixia and Zhou Di both pinched two grapes and an apricot with pointed fingers and tasted them, and the taste was wonderful. Then, the aunt took Zhou Di to see the pigsty of Hong Yan's family.
Zhang Caixia's aunt and sister-in-law were surprised to feed more than a dozen piglets, and they only grew lively and fat, which was very gratifying.
"After the beginning of spring, our family also has to feed a lot of pigs and chickens." The aunt said casually. After looking at the clean pigsty, walk to the small sunbath. She said: "Hong Yan, it is my eldest nephew who said that the provincial government has ordered to encourage members to engage in side jobs and breeding. You see my grandfather (dad) weaving that simple bamboo basket, each costs 2 cents. You can make forty or fifty a day. ”
Zhou Di and Zhang Caixia quickly calculated the accounts in their hearts, forty a day, a 2 cents, 8 yuan a day, and 240 yuan a month. It's just one person's amount, what if there are two more? This income is really not low!
Hong Chunli took Zhang Caixia's sister-in-law to the vicinity of Hong Yan's homestead. Hong Jianguo has already begun to use the morning and evening time to dig the hillside behind and fill in the lowland in front. The foundations of the three main houses have taken shape. Of course, the first three main rooms should not be too much at once to attract people's attention.
"The eldest brother and sister-in-law are open-minded, kind and sincere, and our family gets along very well. They built a new house after a period of time and moved before the Spring Festival. My father said that next year, our family will demolish the old house and add some new wood, move the land, and rely on the eldest brother's family to build it. Sister Caixia, have you seen a few new trees in the front yard? It was the second brother who had just bought it back to dry the water. ”
Hong Chunli is conveying family planning to Zhang's aunt and sister-in-law, so that they can have a more comprehensive understanding of the family. She speaks fluently at this time, how can she seem to be slow. If Hong Yan followed his aunt, he would definitely be surprised. The sister-in-law of the Zhang family naturally listens more and talks less.
When they returned to Xiaosha Dam. Mother Zhang also came from the front, her face was as usual. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, mother and daughter walked aside alone, exchanging information from each other in a low voice.
"Caixia, her neighbor said something kind. The landlord's wife wanted to speak and stopped, but the implication was that the mud couldn't support the wall. Generations of poor middle peasants are a life of suffering. Moreover, the boss of his family didn't want the old house not because he wanted to, but because he was forced out for unknown reasons. Does that mean that if you want to move out in the future, you can do it, but you don't have a share of the property? Could it be because his parents are mean? Zhang's mother analyzed.
"Mom is right. For the sake of my sister's happiness, I want to listen and understand more, the situation of his family, and the life of his family. Mom, sister, I think the key is Hong Jianjun's character, after all, it is related to the happiness of my sister's life, isn't it? Mom, you see that the children of his old family are running in and out of his grandfather's house, and they can come to the table to get close to his sister, how cute those two children are! I think it's much more sensible than my two guys! ”
Zhou Di expressed her opinion, which seemed to be missing the point, but in the end she was tending.
"Yes! I can't make up my mind. Their production team is relatively flat, at least not like our family to climb a steep slope and go out to the cliff. On the way here, they saw a channel passing through their team, so they had water security. So, the conditions here are very good. Your aunt said that it is only two or three miles away from the road, which is much more convenient than our home. Caixia, do you have a crush on that Hong Jianjun? "Mother Zhang saw the advantages of this place, although she was made heartbroken by others, it was difficult to choose in her heart. I had to listen to what my daughter meant.
Zhang Caixia squirmed and blushed again. It's really a bit embarrassing to ask a big girl directly about this kind of thing in this era. "Mom, sister-in-law, just look at it. I listen to you! ”
"You kid, it's a big thing in your life. This character is going to suffer a lot! Zhang's mother blamed her daughter.
"Then I'll say it." Zhang Caixia glanced at her mother carefully, and suddenly made up her mind and said, "Actually, I think everyone in their family is good!" You didn't notice just now, he hugged his eldest nephew and said something with a smile, it was so kind, not like an uncle and nephew but like brothers. As for his younger brother, it seems that he also has a good time with his little nephews. Also, do you see that? They didn't look at his eldest nephew like a child. When he brought his sister to the table, even his ancestors and mother-in-law smiled, and he didn't blame them at all? ”
The more Zhang Caixia spoke, the faster she spoke, the happier she became, and she had completely exposed her innermost thoughts.
"All right, girl! As long as you're happy! To be honest, his eldest brother's family started a new house, which shows that his eldest brother and his family are definitely not simple. In this way, you can try to walk for a while, and then observe and understand! We just don't move the money and things that are sent. Zhang's mother finally decided.
If you decide to get along with each other, the man will definitely send the woman money and things. If the woman repents, she must return all the money and goods. The man didn't want to continue, and the things he sent would not come back.
After the decision was made, this lunch was about to be eaten. The three members of the Zhang family should be very presumptuous to come to the door without notifying the man, so that they can see a real home. Therefore, eating is also the content of the investigation. Although they were more rigid (polite and reserved), they were secretly surprised by the sumptuous meal. Not only are there many vegetarian dishes, but there are also several kinds of meat dishes, not to mention the common pork, stewed chicken, fragrant and tender rabbit meat and the meat of unknown animals, but it is very delicious.
Zhang Caixia, who came to the house for the first time, didn't drink, so she served a small bowl of orange juice. Finally, add a small bowl of drink in front of each person.
Eating is one aspect, and it also reflects that the host family attaches great importance to them. In other words, the main family also fell in love with this girl, so they would be so generous. Otherwise, it's really coarse tea and light rice entertainment. Mother Zhang was secretly glad that she did not leave rashly.
Hong Jianyuan was rushed to school before he had lunch. Hong Yan and the other children did not join in the fun, but quietly ate on their own table. As for how much money and goods Grandma sends, Hong Yan doesn't care. Grandpa also has more than 200 money. The first time I went to visit the house, my sister-in-law and matchmaker all had thank-you gifts.
The second uncle personally sent them to the Yueshan Pass, and when they came back, they couldn't close their mouths, and they didn't seem to have seen a woman. He also hugged his nephew's little shoulders and said quite righteously: "Second master, thank you for your success, just open your mouth if you can use the second master's place!" "I almost patted my chest and promised that I would sell you more than 100 catties. Hong Yan couldn't help but be disdainful: "Cut, come less!" ”
This Zhang Caixia, whether it is talent or family, is indeed much stronger than the second aunt in her previous life in Hong Yan's vision. At least in the future, my cousin or cousin will have a grandmother's house to go to!
In the evening, Hong Jianguo came back from work and said to Hong Yan: "Things have changed, the team secretary and the team leader will come to our house in the evening to discuss the orchard contracting!" ”
"Their attitudes have changed very quickly, is something happening?" Hong Yan groaned.
"Two days ago, the county held an enlarged meeting of the county party committee attended by all the secretaries and presidents of the communes and the secretaries of the major brigades to convey the documents of the provincial party committee. After returning, the tone of the two changed. Probably something to do with that file! "Hong Jianguo's news is still relatively well-informed, unlike Hong Yan, who is purely based on memory.
"Dad, what do you think about contracting now? Has it wavered? Hong Yan said with a smile.
"The orchard is too big for our family to take care of. I'm afraid I'll have to move to the mountains in the future! Hong Jianguo repeated the old tune.
Sure enough, the secretary of the brigade and the captain came to the house one after another. Li Yun naturally prepared some appetizers, and several people talked while drinking.
"Xiao Hongyan, you know, when people are old, their courage is small, and they can't take a step! Ha ha! It's not as good as your newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers and dares to do it. ”
He sneered and indirectly apologized. But no, Hong Yan proposed to contract before, and the brigade took the initiative; Now, the brigade has refused, and the host and guest have been transposed. Although he is the secretary of the brigade and an elder, who wants to get along with money?
"Yes, yes, you see that you proposed to solve the construction of primary schools and kindergartens, and your Grand Duke and I have it in mind! We don't know where we've lived for decades, and we haven't seen it clearly with a little doll. The state has just promulgated the resumption of the college entrance examination, which shows that the top attaches importance to education, knowledge, and talents! Although we rejected your intention, we are also worried these days, we can't let children go to class in the dilapidated classroom with the northwest wind blowing, and we can't let the girl doll not go to school all the time, right? ”
Li Da said this, his voice was low, and he took a sip of soju to his stomach.
Hong Yan listened to them quietly, they were old and refined, and they didn't dare to underestimate them. "Grand Duke, cousin, what do you think now?"
The two old foxes looked at each other, and Secretary Hong said: "Now the situation has changed, and there is a new policy. The province has a new spirit, and the day before yesterday, Captain Li and I went to the county to attend a two-day meeting. I studied the relevant documents of the province......"
"Twelve?" Hong Yan asked nonchalantly.
The secretary of the brigade and the captain of the brigade looked at each other in shock. The three words "Twelve" are undoubtedly a bombshell to the secretary and the captain, and the two have just returned from a meeting, but they haven't conveyed it at all? How would a little kid know. The documents conveyed by the secretary of the county party committee and the director of the county revolutionary committee are not the 12 points, but the "12 points" in a nutshell. It's so wicked! Or is there someone in the county?
"Yes, the document raises twelve questions. We consulted the commune, and the commune consulted the county, believing that the contract you proposed did not violate the spirit of the document. Secretary Luo said that as long as we take grain as the key link, develop the production of the community, expand diversified operations, and encourage planting and breeding, we can do it in any form! Director Song said, 'Yellow cats, black cats, as long as they catch mice, they are good cats.' ’”
This Secretary Luo and Director Song are bold, and their steps are big enough. The spirit of the two is highly consistent with the old man!
"Hehe, Secretary Hong, Captain Li, it's not that I want to contract, I'm not qualified. The contractor is my father, and you should negotiate with him about the contract. ”
Hong Yan grinned and even changed his name. Now it's a matter of business! The county has already stated that the commune will naturally not stop it. Naturally, it is time to negotiate the terms of the contract. Finally, the contract fee is 1,100 yuan per year for a period of 10 years. They didn't dare to contract for 30 or 50 years. Based on the understanding of his previous life, Hong Yan drafted an orchard contract to stipulate the rights and obligations of both parties. Secretary Hong was not satisfied with the team's liability for breach of contract, namely: "Before the end of the contract period, Party A shall not terminate the contract, otherwise Party B shall be compensated for 100,000 yuan in liquidated damages." ”
"Secretary Hong, my family wants to replace the fruit tree seedlings in the orchard, you should know how much it costs. For you, do you want to just replace the fruit tree saplings and be looked down upon and can't contract? "That's what Hongyan prevented.
