Chapter 1**Blood is thicker than water

Old man Xian ignored Liu Yi who was kneeling in front of him, walked to the wall and squatted by himself, sobbing silently for a long time, and finally Liu Yi stood up by himself, walked to Old Man Xian, and shouted softly in Guyi official dialect: "Grandpa, grandpa." ”

The old man understood Liu Yi's shout, raised his head, raised his old and thick fingers, lightly touched Liu Yi's face, nodded, stood up, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said a few words to Xian Dongshuang.

"Grandpa said let you sit, I'll call the second uncle."

Old man Xian walked up to Liu Yi and asked in a very strange Gu Yiguan tone, "What's your name?" ”

"Liu Yi."

"How old are you?"

"Twenty-two."

"Married?"

"I got a marriage certificate, and I will do wine next month." Liu Yi said, pulling Chen Weizheng: "This is my husband, called Chen Weizheng." ”

"Hello grandpa." Chen Weizheng greeted the old man.

The old man looked at Chen Weizheng and was very satisfied.

Chen Weizheng walked to the electric motorcycle, opened the tail box, and brought in the things he had bought in Gem Township before. Liu Yi saw a folding table next to the hall, took it and set it up, took out a few pieces of paper from the small bag and wiped it, it was all dust. Chen Weizheng put the wine and sugar cake on the ground, freed his hands, walked to the electric motorcycle, took in the flannel cloth on the electric motorcycle, and wiped it on the folding table, and the flannel immediately changed color. When the table returns to its normal color, the flannel has completely lost its original color.

Liu Yi put the candy cake on the table, put the wine under the table, and walked to the kitchen with the five-pound waist row. Immediately, the sound of washing came from the kitchen.

Chen Weizheng did not follow up, but sat in the hall and talked to the old man Xian with confusion. Chen Weizheng took out a pack of hardcover Yellow Crane Tower, tore it open, and handed one to the old man Xian, who took the cigarette, took out a one-yuan firer from his pocket, lit it, and saw that Chen Weizheng did not light it, so he hurriedly handed the lighter to Chen Weizheng.

Chen Weizheng took the lighter, scraped the grinding wheel with his fingers, lit the lighter, lit a cigarette, and asked, "Grandpa, how old are you this year?" ”

"Sixty-six." Old Man Xian said.

"Damn, sixty-six! You can be as old as a mummy. Chen Weizheng had a dark bird in his heart.

"The body is fine!" Chen Weizheng asked again.

"Good! Carry your own water, grow your own grain, grow your own vegetables, chop your own firewood, and do everything. The old man said.

"At the age of sixty-six, if you can't even do that, that's the end of it. Not to mention that those leaders of the central government who have just ascended to the throne in their sixties, that is, those in Chen Village, who are not strong in their waists and are tigers to death. Chen Weizheng thought so in his heart, but he couldn't say that, "Grandpa didn't raise some chickens?" ”

"Nope. It's noisy. Old man Xian said.

"It's too noisy not to raise chickens, this reason is more crazy!" Chen Weizheng really didn't understand the old man in front of him.

As she was talking, the little girl Xian Dongshuang walked in with a man in his thirties. A very quiet man, a white shirt with a small lapel casual wear, trousers and leather shoes. As soon as he stepped into the door, he stretched out his hand and said, "Hello, hello, I am Xian Guohe, you can call me second uncle." ”

"Hello second uncle, my name is Chen Weizheng, a native of Chen Village, Longshan." Chen Weizheng introduces himself.

"Chen Weizheng? The name is familiar. "This name Xian Guohe has an impression, it seems that the name Chen Weizheng has affected the place of Baobao Hengtang.

"I remember!" Xian Dongshuang on the side shouted: "My cousin-in-law is Chen Weizheng of Longshan Battery. ”

"Yongsan battery! Right, right! It is Chen Weizheng of Longshan Battery! Isn't it? Xian Guohe asked.

"It's me, I'm Chen Weizheng, the chairman of Longshan Battery." Chen Weizheng honestly admitted.

Here, Liu Yi walked out and shouted his second uncle, Xian Guohe knew that this was the daughter of his hard-working eldest sister, and looked up and down, what a beauty, his eldest sister was a famous beauty in the gem area, and this girl was a little more beautiful than her eldest sister when she was young.

Xi Guohe couldn't help but joke with Xian Dongshuang: "Dongshuang, I usually look good when I see you, but this time your cousin is here, but I can compare you to you." ”

"How can I be as good-looking as my cousin, and Cousin Zhenzhen is not as good-looking as my cousin." Xian Dongshuang said.

"Second uncle, you and Wei Zheng are sitting here, Dongshuang, come here." Liu Yi shouted.

"What's the matter?" Xian Dongshuang asked.

"There is no water at home, where can I fetch water?" Liu Yi asked.

"I know, I'll pick it." Xian Dongshuang said immediately.

Xian Guohe is a teacher at Hengtang Village Primary School, so it's no wonder that he looks sven. Chen Weizheng spoke to him relatively smoothly, although as an educator, Mr. Xian's Mandarin must not be up to standard, at least he can understand it, and occasionally a few idiom phrases can pop up, which makes people feel that culture is omnipresent.

Teacher Xian took out his mobile phone, called his family to inform him, first called his brother-in-law, and asked him to rush back from the jewel, preferably with his mother, and then called the two sisters and told them that if they could come back, it was best to come back and meet them. Finally, he stood up and told Old Man Xian that he would go home, kill a duck, and fry it. Let the old man Xian go to the vegetable garden to get some greens out and wash them.

The spring water was in the valley at the edge of the village, and when a load of water was brought back, the little girl Xian Dongshuang was panting. Chen Weizheng poured the water into the water tank, let the little girl lead the way, and carried the bucket on his shoulder. Liu Yi looked at Chen Weizheng, who was carrying a bucket on his shoulder, and smiled secretly, you are a big boss outside, and you will still do hard labor in this place.

Liu Yi took down the ribs and made a big bowl of steamed pork ribs, fried beans with lean pork, and fat pork made a big bowl of crystal and red braised pork. The woman had some greens in her hand.

As soon as they entered the house, a motorcycle flew up and stopped next to Chen Weizheng's electric motorcycle. In the back seat of the motorcycle, an old woman was hitching. This should be Liu Yi's grandmother, who drives, is naturally Liu Yi's brother-in-law.

The old woman's eyes were red, and she was probably crying all the way, and as soon as she entered the door, she hugged Liu Yi, and it was a heart-rending cry. Several men looked at each other, Teacher Xian's wife was accompanying her to wipe her tears, and Teacher Xian saw his wife wiping her tears, and snorted: What are you crying about, just let them cry and cry little, and they will not persuade.

Teacher Xian's wife immediately burst into laughter and stepped forward to persuade her.

Closer to a little bit, two more crying goods, Liu Yi's two sisters-in-law, provoked the grandmother who had just stopped crying again.

Several men chatted together, the dishes had already been put on the table, and under the table, there was the wine brought by Chen Weizheng, in Baobao Township, Chen Weizheng chose the most expensive to buy, which was this 21 yuan a bottle of Danquan. It looks similar to another 3.5 yuan Danquan, and I don't know what this factory thinks.

Teacher Xian didn't drink the 21 yuan Danquan for a while, and his eyes were glowing when he looked at the packaging of the wine.

It doesn't matter much if the uncle washes the country, after all, he is doing business outside, he has seen the world, he often burns good cigarettes, and he often drinks good wine.

At this time, the old man Xian muttered something, and the crying women immediately stopped crying, washing their faces, stir-frying vegetables, and after a while, a large table was full of fried shredded potatoes, boiled Chinese cabbage, dried green beans, and radish vegetable soup.

Big and small, nine people, old and young, sat around a full table, the old man Xian just said a sentence in his weird ancient official tone, and was interrupted by everyone's laughter, he simply * said the local vernacular, Yiliwala, Xiao Dongshuang translated: Today, it is a reunion, Guomei's daughter and son-in-law came to Hengtang, since the young man still recognizes me as an old guy, my old guy has no reason not to recognize the future family, who is right and wrong in the past, and will live with their conscience in the future.

Hearing the old man say this, he had made up his mind to figure out the ins and outs of the sentence "water returns water and bridge, and each goes his own way", but Chen Weizheng couldn't help but dispel his thoughts. When the old accounts of the past are turned over, they either hurt this or that, so it is better to let it go with the wind. Although the old man looks old, he is not confused at all, and he is also very shrewd, since he is a shrewd person, then help them.

Liu Yi told everyone that on November 11, she married Chen Weizheng, and solemnly invited everyone to participate here.

The uncle calculated it and said that let the second uncle and the aunt be the representatives, the others are estimated to be unable to leave, the grandparents can't get in the car, 70 kilometers to Qingshan, after a serious illness, they won't go out, and you will come back to visit them more when you are free.

Liu Yi nodded and said: I don't dare to work my grandfather and grandmother to go, there are a lot of people that day, even if the second uncle and aunt go, there will be places that can't be taken care of. Because my parents are not alive, the ceremony is handled by my uncle, who doesn't know anyone from Gem Township, so he will definitely take care of him poorly, so please be considerate of the juniors.

Chen Weizheng asked his uncle what business he did, and Xian Guohai said that the main thing to do was to buy dry goods that were special products in the mountains, such as monk fruit, shiitake mushrooms, honeysuckle, mountain pepper, and camellia oil.

Chen Weizheng asked how much a pound of earth-pressed camellia oil in the mountains would cost, and Xian Guohai told him about thirty-five. Chen Weizheng asked if there was a lot of money in the mountains, and Xi Guohai said: Many, in a year, just the gem township can be transferred out to talk about 10,000 catties.

Chen Weizheng said that one liter of camellia oil is six taels per catty, five liters is eight catties, and eight catties are 280 yuan. Comparatively expensive. At present, the market price of a four-liter barrel is about 250 yuan, and the price per catty is less than 40 yuan. The spread is too small and there is no profit.

Xian Guohai blushed and said: If you want it in the oil press factory, you can ask for 22 yuan per catty.

Chen Weizheng asked him to prepare two bottles of samples, one pound each, and take them to Gu Yi for testing. If you can, a camellia oil packaging factory in Huaqiao Town, the trademark, is launched by Guolian Supermarket.

Xian Guohai listened to it with great admiration, yearning, and said that he would prepare samples in a while.

Xian Guohe saw that Chen Weizheng was a very good project, and said: "The project is good, but it needs to have more capital." ”

Chen Weizheng pointed at Liu Yi and said: "I asked her for the capital, if there is more, she has three million." ”

Xian Guohai is very business-minded, and said: "Weizheng, in the past, we had no money, so we could only make small troubles. The camellia oil of our gem township is more in Qingshan, but compared with Zuozhou County on the other side of the mountain, it is less, Zuozhou is close to the mountainous area on our side, rich in camellia oil, the transportation is inconvenient, the materials are basically picked, and the place where the transportation is convenient is to pass the motorcycle. There is a small river in Zuozhou from Hengtang, if you can build a small bridge for the river, you can take the kind of bridge that can be dragged by small hands of motorcycles, but I am afraid that all the camellia oil in Zuozhou will cross our side. After a pause, he added: "It doesn't cost much to build a bridge, just one or two hundred thousand yuan, but no one has the heart to come, and the main cadres in the township want to be transferred back to the county all day long, and they have no intention of working." ”

Chen Weizheng nodded and said, "We will repair the bridge, and one or two hundred thousand will be regarded as a good deed." However, we can't fix it too early, and we will implement the market first. ”

Xian Guohai knew that with this relative, the beginning of his family had arrived.
