Early the next morning, when the sky was just dawning, Fugui hurried to the brick kiln to keep an eye on all the matters of the brick kiln, and after Li Jianmei finished the housework at home, she packed up and rushed to the county, she walked to Qilong Town, took a car from the bus station in Qilong Town to the county, and asked the county people on the street to go to the family planning office.

She didn't walk long before she walked to the family planning office building, and the people in the family planning office were a little scared when they saw her, because she, those members of the family planning team, were all criticized by Liu Meng, director of the family planning office, so they were a little scared when they saw Li Jianmei.

Shi Xiaohui, the leader of the family planning team, saw Li Jianmei and said angrily: "What are you doing here?" Didn't you release all the people in your village yesterday? What else is there to do with the family planning office? ”

Li Jianmei pursed her lips and gritted her teeth, and said, "I'm here for ligation surgery", Shi Xiaohui, the leader of the family planning office, was stunned when he heard it, "What, you...... You...... You're going to do the ligation, it's not a joke, is it? ”

"I'm not joking, what I said is true, I discussed it with Fugui, and I'm here to do the ligation today."

Shi Xiaohui saw that what Li Jianmei said was true, so he asked his subordinates to beckon Li Jianmei into the infirmary of the Family Planning Office to prepare for the ligation operation, there were two female doctors in white coats and two female nurses in the infirmary, Li Jianmei lay quietly on the cold operating bed, motionless, waiting for the ligation operation.

Fortunately, the operation was done relatively quickly, and after a while, Li Jianmei walked out of the family planning office, Li Jianmei, who had just finished the operation, was no different from a normal woman, just a little weaker, she walked slowly on the streets of the county, walked towards the bus stop, took a bus back to Qilong Town, and slowly walked from Qilong Town to Zhangjiacun Village, along the way through the dirt road and crossed the Tianshui River, and then passed through Eagle Mountain, and went straight to the entrance of Zhangjia Village.

At the entrance of the village, some chatting women greeted Li Jianmei and asked her where she had gone, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, and she said softly: "I just came back from the family planning office after the ligation operation. ”

After hearing this, these women all showed surprised expressions on their faces, and they were all stunned and didn't dare to speak, thinking in their hearts, "This village chief's woman also went to be ligated, mainly because she took the initiative to go, and I don't know if Fugui knows it." ”

Time has passed, and all the women in Zhangjia Village who should have had a contraceptive ring have been sterilized, and those who should have been on the contraceptive ring have been sterilized, and none of them have been left behind.

Since Zhangjia Village built and perfected the dormitory building for the Qilong Town Credit Cooperative, the business between the engineering team and the brick kiln is getting better and better, and the situation of the people in the village has also improved, and most of the families in the village have bought sewing machines, bicycles, watches and other three-piece sets, and they are ready to save some money to buy tape recorders and televisions.

Immediately after, not only Zhangjiacun is a village that is rich, the whole society seems to have heard the sound of the starting gun, one, two, three, all of a sudden, the land has become rich, especially some craftsmen have made a lot of money by relying on their own craft, which are all 100 yuan households to 1,000 yuan households, 1,000 yuan households to 10,000 yuan households, 10,000 yuan households to millionaires, the whole society's road to prosperity is like gunpowder exploded.

In order to let the villagers walk in front of the road to prosperity, Zhang Fugui is ready to build another prefabricated panel factory, on the one hand, he expands the construction project, and on the other hand, coordinates the brick kiln to burn bricks, which is very tiring.

Every time Fugui is always busy until the last one gets off work, when he returns home in the evening, Li Jianmei, a woman, makes dinner early and waits for him to come back to eat together, Li Jianmei always finishes the rice in the bowl within a few minutes, and then walks outside the house to make a fire and boil water with a kettle, in order to wash his face and soak a foot for her husband Fugui who is tired for a day, which is also a manifestation of Li Jianmei's distress about her husband's wealth.

The villagers generally wash their faces when they sleep, at most they will drill into the quilt with a casual flush of water, but Li Jianmei has given him this good habit; Now if you don't wash your face, don't burn your feet or anything, he can't sleep when he gets into the quilt.

Whenever Fugui comes back from a hard day, Li Jianmei, a woman, washes Fugui's face and burns her feet with a kettle of boiling water as always, and then she gets into the quilt and warms the bed with her body, just to make Fugui feel warm as soon as she enters the quilt, Fugui knows that Jianmei is considerate of herself, but he also knows that her daughter-in-law not only does this for him, but she raises pigs and chickens at home, and takes care of the life of the old and young, but she is the hardest person in this family.

Fugui knew that the only thing he could do was to rebuild his own house as soon as possible, so that Jianmei, the two dolls, and his father Zhang Youcai could live better, so that he would feel more down-to-earth in his heart.

Zhangjia Village's current situation is developing a very good, there are three collective economic pillars such as brick kilns, engineering teams, prefabricated panel factories, etc., most of the people in Zhangjia Village who join in the production and labor have earned their wallets, and they all want to replace the mud walls of their own tiled houses with small bungalows made of reinforced concrete buildings, but Fugui did not speak, and they did not dare to build their own houses first, because Fugui has always advocated not to engage in specialization, and if you want to be rich, you will be rich, and if you want to live in a new house, you have to live in a new house in the whole village.

This year's spring, summer, autumn and winter can not care about the joys, sorrows and sorrows of the world, always according to its own cyclical laws continue to alternate.

After the sting, the day before the Qingming Festival, the weather suddenly warmed up, the sun shone warmly on the thawed land, the fields and mountains on both sides of the Tianshui River peach blossoms in full bloom, the green buds just emerged from the land and the withered grass mixed together, it looks yellow, yellow, green and green, it seems full of vitality, the willow silk is like a woman's hair floating in the breeze, the swallows are jumping back and forth between the branches, and the birds are chirping and jumping on the branches.

The villagers of Zhangjia Village are as busy as ever, rich and noble alone can not be busy, so the engineering team will be handed over to Zhang Tianyou to take care of, the prefabricated panel factory to Da Zhuang management, and he and Liu Laohan together to manage the brick kiln burning work, since Zhangjia Village started these three industries, there are few young people in Zhangjia Village who are willing to farm, after all, the money earned in farming a year is much less than that in the three major industries, so these are all willing to abandon their own land to work in the three major industries, Only those old men are guarding their own land, no matter what.

In the eyes of those old people, the crops are inseparable from the land, even if the current situation is better, they refuse to waste the land and eat dry, always thinking of squandering their own energy in their own land.

Just when the whole village was busy, a person walked into Zhangjia Village with a large bag of luggage, he was wearing a half-length smoky gray tweed coat, black straight pants, black shiny cowhide shoes, and a snow-white shirt collar under the coat, I don't know if it was a real shirt or a fake collar. The hair is freshly haircut, the sideburns are snow-blue, the face is cleanly washed, the beard is clean-shaven, and the whole person looks particularly energetic.

The people in the village looked at him and felt more or less inexplicable intimacy, and after a while, the old people and children in the village surrounded him, and looked at him one by one as if they were looking at a diorama.

There were more and more onlookers, Zhang Fugui happened to have just come back from the brick kiln, and when he walked to the entrance of the village, he saw the people in the village gathered together, and he was more or less curious, so he squeezed up.

When he saw the back of this person wearing a different dress with a big bag, he vaguely felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy in his heart, which made him feel that the two of them had known each other for a long time, when he walked slowly through the crowd, he was a little speechless for a while, it turned out that the person standing in front of him at this moment was not someone else, it was his brother Zhang Jianguo, who had played since he was a child, and he whimpered and his voice was a little speechless.

Zhang Jianguo also found his brother Zhang Fugui who had been playing since he was a child in the crowd, they looked at each other, tears were shaking in their eyes, and their emotions were conveyed to each other in each other's eyes, as if all this was as clear as if it happened yesterday.

Zhang Fugui's nose was sour, his lips trembled slightly, tears flowed from his face, Zhang Jianguo also burst into tears, the trembling steps of the two slowly approached, and then hugged each other, at this moment, the two of them cried like three-year-old children, crying so loudly and painfully.

Tears from the corners of Zhang Fugui's eyes fell on Zhang Jianguo's smoky gray tweed coat, and he whimpered and whispered: "Jianguo...... Founding...... Is that you......"

Zhang Jianguo sobbed and said softly: "Fugui...... It's me...... I am the founding ...... I'm back......"

"Okay, it's good to come back, it's good to come back", Zhang Fugui and Zhang Jianguo wiped their tears with their hands, Fugui helped Jianguo carry those big bags of items straight to his house, along the way Fugui talked to Jianguo about the changes that have taken place in Zhangjia Village over the years, Jianguo also listened seriously, and laughed a little from time to time.

After a while, Zhang Fugui and Zhang Jianguo came to the door of Fugui's house, Zhang Youcai was alone with Erlang's legs crossed on the stone ridge outside the house and leisurely smoked a dry tobacco bag, Fugui shouted to the house from afar, "Jianmei...... Fast...... Fast...... Come and see who's coming......"

Li Jianmei walked out of the house after hearing the shouts of wealth, this Zhang Jianguo left home early in the early years, Li Jianmei didn't have a little impression of him, but Zhang Youcai remembered it deeply, although Zhang Jianguo has been away from home for nearly ten years, but this appearance has not changed much, except for the more gorgeous clothes, the others are still the same.

As soon as Zhang Youcai saw Zhang Jianguo, he smiled and said, "Jianguo! You've been away from home for almost ten years, but your appearance has become small, and I can recognize you at a glance if you are a talented uncle. ”
