Chapter 019: A Handful of Peanuts and a Bowl of Wine

In two days, the number of women and sisters who went to Sang Zhiheng's house to sign up as female grape pickers reached 814.

The women compatriots from the five or six villages around Taizi Village almost met the conditions and signed up.

Even female compatriots from several other townships in Gangcheng County, such as Lixin Township, Yanzhuang Township, Chengzipo Township and Zhaizi Township, also came to sign up.

Choosing 20 people out of more than 800 people is really more difficult than getting into a university.

After the registration deadline, at eight o'clock in the evening, Sang Zhiheng, Sang Shoucheng, and Wei Youliang held a family meeting in the three tiled houses next to the vineyard.

"Dad, the village party secretary greeted me, and his daughter-in-law Qi Jing and daughter Sang Xiuxiu also signed up this time. These two are more difficult to deal with. Sang Zhiheng frowned.

Sang Shoucheng smoked a dry cigarette and said, "It's just picking grapes, why do you have to take the exam?" ”

Tomorrow will be the selection exam, roll paper Sang Zhiheng has entrusted his alma mater, Yingmu No. 4 Middle School, the school-run printing house to be responsible for printing, and he will be able to pull it back from the school at nine o'clock tomorrow morning.

The paper was given by Sang Zhiheng to a classmate of the Labor Bureau, a bit like the administrative ability test of the civil service exam, but the difficulty of the questions is much lower.

Sang Zhiheng explained to his father with a smile: "Dad, today's society is developing with each passing day, although it is said that the job of picking grapes does not require much culture to be done, but in the future, science and technology will develop, with new technologies, those literate workers can easily master the new technology, and those who are not educated may be much more difficult." ”

When Sang Shoucheng heard this, he said a little unhappily: "So, in the future, we will be eliminated directly?" ”

Sang Zhiheng hurriedly explained: "Dad, you are a veteran and have so much experience, how can you be eliminated?" ”

Hearing this, Sang Shoucheng relaxed his brows and said, "It's pretty much the same. I said Zhiheng, those related households must be dealt with. ”

Wei Youliang grabbed a bunch of grapes and ate them, and at the same time leaned next to Sang Zhiheng and said, "Zhiheng, discuss something with you." ”

Sang Zhiheng found that Wei Youliang was flattering, and knew that his brother-in-law must have something to ask for him, so he said shamelessly: "Say!" ”

"What, my neighbor's daughter-in-law, I'm very good with your sister, your sister asked me to ask, can I ......"

Sang Zhiheng didn't wait for Wei Youliang to finish speaking, he glanced at him and said, "I said brother-in-law, why are you still causing trouble?" The work of picking grapes is not too hard to say hard, and it is not too tiring to say that it is tired. However, if it is too easy for those who apply for the job to get this position, they will not cherish it too much, and they will come today, and they will not come tomorrow, so they will not delay me? The reason why I made things so complicated was to let them know that I would give Sang Zhiheng a lot of money to work, but they must listen to me and understand my rules! ”

When Wei Youliang heard this, he was also a little anxious.

"However, we can't talk to death, some real relatives, can we pull a hand and not let the village gossip?"

Sang Zhiheng thought to himself, maybe his brother-in-law might have the benefits of others, and he agreed to take care of everything. If he talks to death now, his brother-in-law may offend people.

"What my brother-in-law said also makes sense, then we have to discuss and discuss, which relationships need to be taken care of, and which relationships can't be taken care of."

"As the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, the relationship between neighbors must be handled well, and the relationship between neighbors must be taken care of!" Wei Youliang hurriedly said.

Sang Zhiheng nodded and said, "What my brother-in-law said makes sense. ”

Sang Shoucheng tapped the cigarette pouch and said, "Our family has three generations in a row, and there is no family of Jinzhi, but your aunt's family is a relative, and you have to take care of it." Your uncle doesn't have any skills, and he supports a large family by doing construction, and if he lets his daughter-in-law come, it can greatly reduce the pressure on your uncle and aunt. ”

"We really have to help my aunt's family, Dad, have my cousin-in-law signed up?"

"I heard from your mother that she signed up, and she helped maintain order."

When Sang Zhiheng heard this, he immediately remembered that when he signed up yesterday afternoon, the order was relatively chaotic, and it was a woman in her thirties who helped maintain order. Although he is a relative of his aunt's family, he has not paid much attention to the appearance of his relatives because he has been outside, and he didn't expect such a close relative to not recognize him, which is really undeserved. No wonder, when I filled out the form for that woman yesterday, she smiled at me.

Sang Zhiheng has always only known that his cousin-in-law's name is Da Hong, but he doesn't know that his name is An Hong.

"My cousin-in-law's name is An Hong?"

"Yes, it's called An Hong."

Sang Zhiheng said with a smile: "My cousin is really blessed, I found a wife who can be inside and out, Dad, I don't need you to say, An Hong is a talent, I must recruit." ”

"What about Zhiheng, my neighbor?"

"Since you told me, I won't make it difficult for you, brother-in-law, take the exam tomorrow! But I can remind you that you told your neighbors that you should never cheat, and if you do, you should not cheat. ”

Wei Youliang nodded again and again and said, "Zhiheng, I'm relieved to have your words." ”

In fact, Sang Zhiheng wanted to talk about his old friend in front of his father and brother-in-law, but he didn't dare to speak several times. The person he wanted to mention was called Li Ling, and he had a good time with her when he was in high school. Unexpectedly, Li Ling also came to sign up this time.

"Oh yes, brother-in-law, tomorrow you help contact a cleaner restaurant, after dinner in the morning, I want to invite the armed police invigilators to dinner."

In order to ensure the fairness of tomorrow's exam, Sang Zhiheng specially asked Zhang Hai, the manager of the Ginza supermarket, to contact the Armed Forces Department of Yingmu City and arrange for 50 armed police officers to be invigilators.

"How about going to Chess Mountain?"

Sang Zhiheng said with a smile: "It's been a long time since I have eaten Qishan fried chicken, okay, let's go to Qishan!" ”

Wei Youliang smashed his mouth, touched his stomach and said, "Why are you still a little hungry?" ”

Sang Shoucheng glanced at him and said, "Eat some grapes, can you last for a long time?" ”

Regarding his father-in-law's ridicule, Wei Youliang didn't feel embarrassed or anything, but asked his father-in-law with a smile: "Dad, do we still have anything to eat here?" ”

"Eat? There are only peanuts and sweet potatoes dry wine, isn't that there? ”

Sang Zhiheng and Wei Youliang looked in the direction that Sang Shoucheng's cigarette pouch was pointing, and in the corner of the room, there was a canvas bag and a white plastic bucket.

"If you have peanut oil, stir-fry a plate of peanuts, and then drink the wine that our father made, it will definitely be enjoyable."

Sang Shoucheng's plastic barrel contains liquor, and in addition, there are medicinal herbs such as He Shou Wu, ginseng, wolfberry, small white snake and Yimeng whole scorpion.

Not only Wei Youliang likes to drink, but Sang Zhiheng also likes to drink, which is called not a family, not entering a family.

"Brother-in-law, you don't need to fry it, grab a handful, and you can chew raw peanuts to chew them."

"That's right, Dad, do you have a bowl here, find three bowls, how about we have a drink here tonight?"

Sang Shoucheng stood up, walked to the bedroom in the back room, took out a white porcelain bowl and said, "That's it." ”

The big white porcelain bowl is full of wine and can hold seven or eight taels.

Sang Shoucheng pulled out the lid on the white plastic bucket, then poured half a bowl of wine, grabbed a handful of peanuts himself, ate peanuts, and drank medicinal wine.

"It's still the wine made by our local method, and those Moutai Wuliangye are not as good as this local wine."

Sang Zhiheng simply moved the white plastic bucket directly to the small square table, poured out a large handful of peanuts from the canvas bag, and put it on the small square table.

Then, the grandfather gathered around the small square table, took a sip of each person, and drank wine.

Before you know it, the night is getting deeper and deeper.

The three of them ate five bowls of wine in a row before putting down the big white porcelain bowl.

"Brother-in-law, we still have work tomorrow, so let's stop here."

Wei Youliang walked a little staggered, and when he wanted to compare the amount of alcohol with Sang Zhiheng and Sang Shou, he obviously didn't move.

"It's only nine o'clock, let's have some more, shall we?"

Sang Shoucheng glared at him and said, "Keep it for you, and then drink it later!" ”

Seeing that the old man was a little angry, Wei Youliang hurriedly smiled and said, "Dad, let's talk about it, you have to keep all your good wine for me." ”

Sang Zhiheng saw that his brother-in-law would really make his father angry if he continued to talk, so he picked him up and said, "Let's go!" ”

Wei Youliang came in his own car, and his car was placed here in the vineyard. However, Sang Zhiheng saw that he was stumbling a little when he walked, so he didn't let him drive, but drove him home in a pickup truck.

Then by the time he hurried home, it was already past eleven o'clock in the evening.

He hurried into the space, picked grapes, fetched water from the well, and went to sleep.

As the saying goes, good wine is not drunk overnight, and the next day, Sang Zhiheng felt refreshed.

At seven o'clock in the morning, he hurriedly called his girlfriend Shen Jiaqi.

Since there is an exam, there must be an examination room, and the examination room of more than 800 people must be a big place.

Taizi Village Dachang Courtyard, this place can accommodate so many people. However, you also need a table.

814 desks are needed for the 814-person exam, and the unit that can provide so many desks can only be the school.

Sang Zhiheng offered a sponsorship fee of 10,000 yuan to Taohuayu Village Lian Primary School in exchange for the right to rent almost all the desks in their school for one day.

Although the matter was personally negotiated by Sang Zhiheng, in the end, Wei Youliang and Shen Jiaqi were responsible for transporting the desks.

Because he had other things to do, he had to go to the armed forces department to take 50 armed police officers to the examination room.

With 50 armed policemen and 2 officers leading the team, so many people can't rely on their own small pickup trucks to pick them up.

Then, in order to pick up these invigilators, Sang Zhiheng had already contacted the Gangcheng County Bus Company in advance and hired a bus.

At 7:40 in the morning, Sang Zhiheng came to the Municipal Armed Forces Department, contacted the officers who led the team, and immediately led everyone back.

When I arrived at Taizi Village, it was exactly half past eight.

The exam started at 9 a.m., and the women who had registered for the exam came to the exam room as early as 8:30.

So many people, sitting in the courtyard of the big field at one person and one table, all looked very excited, and giggling was like rushing to the market. But when they saw so many armed policemen lining up and shouting slogans in front of them, they were all scared and quiet.
