Xu Wenlong's sister is called Xu Wenjuan, married to Wang Ganfu at the foot of the old mountain in the neighboring village. Wang Ganfu is a taciturn and honest farmer. After marriage, he had a son named Wang Jun, who had just turned five years old. The couple got up early in the morning and worked hard for many years, and finally demolished the old and built the new one in the middle of autumn the year before last, erecting a two-story brick and concrete building. Although it is a bare room without any decoration, it also makes them celebrate, happy, and very fulfilled. After all, this is done with your own hands, brick by brick, and it is not easy!

At dusk, the dusty Xu Wenlong came to the door of his sister Xu Wenjuan's house.

Xu Wenjuan, who had short ear-length hair, was feeding chickens and ducks in the yard, holding a large pot of grain chaff and throwing it in the east and west. Inadvertently looked up, and suddenly found a heroic young soldier standing in front of him. She couldn't help but snort, then screamed, threw down the tile basin in her hand and rushed forward like crazy, hugged Xu Wenlong, and cried out in her mouth: "Xiaolong...... Dragons...... You're finally back......"

Xu Wenlong put down the luggage in his hand and hugged his black, thin and weak sister tightly, tears couldn't help but drip quietly. After a long time, he raised his head and looked at his emaciated sister silently, and asked in a trembling voice, "Sister, what's wrong with Dad?" ……”

Wang Ganfu, who was cooking in the kitchen, ran out when he heard the sound, rubbed his hands and stood behind the sister and brother at a loss, and said after a while: "Go back to the house, go back to the house." ”

When he came to the dining room and looked at the ploughs, rakes, hoes, tables, chairs and benches that were messily placed in the house, Xu Wenlong couldn't help but feel sour and sad in his heart. He took a large cup of cold water from his brother-in-law and swallowed it in a big gulp. Then he wiped his mouth and said to Xu Wenjuan, who was sobbing and sobbing: "Sister, tell me quickly, what happened at home?" ”

Xu Wenjuan sighed, looked at his mature brother in a daze, and tried to remove the tears on his face for a long time, and told him about the reason for his father's death......

It turns out that it all started five years ago. At that time, in order to adjust the industrial structure, create characteristic old areas, and greatly increase the income of farmers, the Gulian County Government successively formulated a series of preferential policies such as interest-free loans, tax exemptions, and special agricultural subsidies to encourage and support farmers to contract barren mountains, barren slopes, sandy lands, and tidal flats to carry out special breeding and special planting activities. As a result, it has attracted a large number of contractors with active minds and the courage to eat crabs to introduce pheasants, goats, bullfrogs, soft-shelled turtles and other characteristic species for breeding, and large-scale planting of navel oranges, sweet oranges, pineapples, strawberries and other flavor fruits, which quickly set off a vigorous entrepreneurial upsurge based on planting and breeding, supplemented by processing.

Seeing this, Xu Wenlong's father, Xu Shichang, was itchy for a while and eager to try, and he was also ambitious to do a lot of work to change his embarrassing state of being unable to achieve anything. Helplessly, the bag is shy and the waist is not bulging, and the natural confidence is not enough, and the waist is not thick. had to be so low that the price couldn't be lower, gritted his teeth and contracted a wilderness mountain range that no one cared about. Except for the bare black stones that covered the mountain, there was a desolate stone ridge with castor beans, paulownia and weeds and trees.

However, Xu Shichang is extremely satisfied and proud. After all, it is also an "economic entity" built with money, and after all, it is also a real "turnaround capital". He spent dozens of days erecting a thatched hut on the mountain, bringing with him all the daily necessities, carrying forward the fine work style of the cadres in the Soviet area, summoning up the sky-high enthusiasm and boundless strength, and busy, tinkering, and tossing on the rocky mountain day and night. He selectively kept some castor and paulownia trees, planted precious Chinese herbs such as notoginseng, rhubarb, gastrodia, and astragalus, and painstakingly fertilized, watered, pulled weeds, and removed insects like a baby...... I hope that these treasures can make themselves a carp to fight, and the salted fish to turn over, and achieve the grand cause that they look forward to for a lifetime.

However, the heavens also have a heart. No matter how much you give, sometimes you don't necessarily get the rewards!

A few months later, Xu Shichang worked day and night in exchange for the final result: the rare medicinal herbs gradually withered, withered, withered, and even disappeared, and truly became a precious and rare species. On the contrary, the weeds and barnyard are lush and upright, and their growth is gratifying. Until the guest and the host were transposed, the dove occupied the magpie's nest, and all the Chinese herbs were squeezed out of the stone mountain, and they disappeared completely. This made Xu Shichang's good wishes instantly turn into a string of bubbles, and his eager anticipation suddenly became a wisp of light smoke, which was really the moon in the water, the flowers in the mirror, and the bamboo basket was empty.

Looking at the mountains swaying and dancing in the wind, Xu Shichang's old heart fluttered lightly in an instant, and the whole person suddenly became wilted like a frosted eggplant.

Fortunately, God has the virtue of a good life, and there is no way to be endless!

Just when Xu Shichang felt sorry for himself and collapsed, a backpacker with glasses came to the mountain. He took a hammer and struck left and right on the ugly stones all over the mountain, and finally told Xu Shichang with a tired face that it was limestone, rich in calcium carbonate, which could be used to burn lime, a building material.

Xu Shichang doesn't know what calcium carbonate or carbon sweet calcium is, but he is very familiar with lime building materials. I heard that the hideous stone can be burned into lime and used to paint the walls, isn't that the great news that flew from the sky? It's a hundred times happier than a young man marrying a wife, and even more excited than winning five million in a lottery ticket.

So Xu Shichang jumped up from the bed, clapped his hands and laughed three times, the resurgence of pride, and the eternal ambition is dead. He wants to make a comeback, he wants to make a comeback, he wants to let go of his hands and feet and work hard!

Xu Shichang's heart is higher than the sky, his life is thinner than paper, and he has been defeated again and again. Its circumstances are real, and its ambitions are indeed commendable! In order to implement the grand blueprint he planned, he immediately agitated like a spring, and by the way, he promised to make a huge profit, begged his grandfather to tell his grandmother, borrowed from east to west, pawned and pawned, after months of wind and rain, tasted infinite warmth and cold, and finally put together 250,000 yuan of start-up capital.

The so-called money comes smoothly, and it is difficult for money to go an inch. The next Xu Shichang is the spring breeze is proud, and Fan Jinzhong is dizzy. He immediately started to build a factory on the mountain, purchase equipment, and purchase supporting materials...... Recruiting troops with great fanfare, attracting talents by unscrupulous means, Xiaozhi brought a group of big girls and young men in the village with courtesy and affection, and then attracted two kiln fire masters with attractive remuneration. In the end, everything is ready, the east wind is not owed, in a burst of crackling horns and earth-shattering firecrackers, "Yunchang Lime Plant" was officially put on the line, and the rumbling began to operate.

Originally, in the fierce competition of shopping malls like battlefields, how could a little-known small factory like "Yunchang Lime" confront those well-known old manufacturers? It's like a mantis arm blocking the car and hitting a stone with an egg, it's not at the same level at all, and it's basically not worth someone's little finger!

It's just that the world is unpredictable, feng shui takes turns, and blind cats sometimes encounter dead mice. Not long after the operation of the "Yunchang Lime Plant", it was just in time for Gulian County to vigorously rebuild, expand and build a new urban area; In addition, urban real estate is in the ascendant and menacing, and villa groups, garden areas, riverside buildings, etc. have sprung up everywhere. Moreover, the construction of the new countryside is in full swing, and there is a great tendency to be uncontrollable. As a result, there is a shortage of materials in the construction market, and the supply exceeds demand, and the sales price will naturally rise with the tide and soar all the way. After all, the products produced by the "Yunchang Lime Plant" are also lime, after all, they can also whiten the house. So much so that in the end, the purchase and sales were booming, and the situation was greatly improved.

Now Xu Shichang trembled. The waist is also straight, the breath is thick, the voice is louder, and when I see people throwing away a good cigarette, I drag them to the store for a drink, and I look like a high-spirited and ambitious nouveau riche.

It's a pity that good flowers don't bloom often, and good times don't last long. Just when Xu Shichang was ambitious and wanted to increase investment, gearing up to update production equipment, vowing to work hard, work hard and skillfully, and quickly achieve his life goals, he accidentally attracted the jealousy of the "ghost township chief" in Luoxi Township, and secretly gave him a fatal blow, and finally made him die first when he left the school.
