It only took three days, and the Li family's more than 30 acres of sugarcane were all harvested, and they were neatly coded in the village's grain field with a size of almost 100 catties.

Of course, Li Lu resolutely disagreed with the use of LC80 to pull sugarcane. It was transported from the field to the threshing field in ox carts. The ox carts of the production team and the other people in the village all came over and were transferred to the grain field.

Pulling sugar cane out of the soft ground is not good for ordinary trucks, not walk-behind tractors, ox carts are the most practical, and of course a farming tractor with huge tires is possible, but there are too few of them. Li Lu had the urge to let the Red Star Factory quickly imitate a towed farming tractor to come out, so that he could pull sugarcane......

Of course, he used reason to overcome his bestiality.

Because of the three-shift work system, more than 30 people in the public security department of the Xinguang Factory rested every day, and these people, after receiving Li Lu's notice, were divided into several 212 jeeps and a troop transport truck. They are all children of peasant families, young and strong young men, and I have the momentum of the world with the sickle in hand, and it only took three days to put down more than 30 acres of sugarcane.

Immediately, it took another day to load about 120 tons of sugarcane onto six Jiefang CA10 trucks, and Zhang Weiwei withdrew with his troops.

Apparently heavily overloaded. Those Jiefang CA10 have been reinforced and modified by the repair shop, there is no problem with loading twenty or thirty tons of things, the sugarcane is stacked high, the baffles on both sides are also reinforced, and the logs with thick legs are inserted to increase the space. It looks like a high-rise building, but it's just a snail.

These trucks are invited from the surroundings, some people with money in their hands, smelling the smell of the market economy, buy trucks for transportation, most of them buy second-hand cars or even state units and state-owned factories to eliminate Xiali's broken cars, modified and modified to pull twenty or thirty tons of things. The crushing season at the sugar mills is at their busiest, and with them, more cane farmers are willing to send their cane directly to the sugar mills instead of selling it to the buying station. Savvy folks know how to calculate this account.

At dusk, at the valley field, Li Lu watched the convoy of the security office leave, looked at the six trucks full of sugarcane lined up in a long serpentine row, and said to Li Yaohua, "Big brother, you will go back to the factory tomorrow, and that Chen Huang of the 325 factory still needs you to drag him down." ”

"Okay, I'll go back tomorrow. That kid couldn't think about it, and it was estimated that he wouldn't leave if he drove him now. Li Yaohua patted the dirt on his body and said with a smile.

Today, all day long, their brothers and sisters were not idle, and they loaded the sugarcane together, and they had to stack each handful of sugarcane with a hundred catties as high as a three-story building, and it would never work without strong physical support.

Li Lu smiled and said, "That's the best, it's better for him to stay here." By the way, how much is a ton of sugarcane this year? ”

"Yesterday it was fifty-six yuan, and I heard that it dropped two yuan today." Li Jiahua said, "The transportation fee is five yuan, and the skin for one dollar is about forty-eight yuan." ”

More than 30 acres of land is about 120 tons, and it is estimated that it will be about 5,000 yuan. At this time, the yield of sugarcane per mu is about three and four tons, and this year's harvest is good, otherwise there is absolutely no yield of more than 100 tons. On average, an acre of land is about 170 yuan of income.

On a per capita basis, the annual income of the Li family of eight is only about 400 yuan - their family's income is even high!

This is the income of a busy year, which means that in the coming year, the whole family will basically have to rely on the 5,000 yuan for food, drink and Lazar. Then continue the year's work, and then wait for the next harvest season, if there is a typhoon that will destroy the sugar cane forests...... This is a very common situation in the local area. Li Lu even understood why his mother didn't agree to invite someone, and even saved what she could.

Their generation was full of crises in their minds, for fear that a natural disaster would come and the whole family would go hungry. A dollar is broken and it takes a few days, that's a common thing.

It's too bitter, and the current farmers are too bitter.

"Yaohua! Who is with you brothers? A driver came over and asked in a rough voice with a short hookah in his hand.

Li Yaohua said, "I follow the car." ”

It is only a two-hour journey from Baixing Village to the Xihe County Sugar Factory, which is calculated according to the average speed of 20 or 30 kilometers per hour of cane trucks. If you enter the queue, it will take about five or six hours if you are fast, and if you are slow, you can finish it before dawn. So Li Yaohua calculated the time and thought it was enough.

He is the boss, such a thing, the father is not there, of course the boss goes, this is the rule - to go through the scales to collect money.

Li Lu said, "No, second brother, you follow the car." Big brother, you have a good rest tonight, the matter over there in the Red Star Factory is important. ”

"Okay." Li Yaohua and Li Jiahua nodded at the same time.

Li Lu said to Li Jiahua, "Second brother, over there in Fenyuan Company, you hand over some less important accounting work to others, didn't Lao Yu recruit a few accountants, let them do it, you just manage the general ledger." ”

"I know, it's gradually becoming standardized." Li Jiahua agreed.

Li Lu glanced over there, Cai Yefen was picking up the sugarcane on the ground with the fifth and sixth brothers, Li Lu suppressed his voice and said, "Big brother, second brother, there is something you have to put on the agenda." ”

"What's the matter?" Li Yaohua asked.

Li Lu smiled and said, "Marry a wife, look at our mother, although she didn't urge, it was because you just went out to work, and she endured it." I dare say that she will definitely say it during the Chinese New Year this year. If you don't take the initiative now, she will help you pick it out when the time comes, what will you do? ”

Li Yaohua was stunned for a moment, and then said with a wry smile, "Yes, I don't know who our mother is." ”

"Big brother, what about your original girlfriend? I heard that it was from Wang Village? Li Lu vaguely remembered such a thing, it was four or five years ago, when their family had not separated, as the eldest Li Yaohua, who was in his early twenties, had already entered the marriage process.

"Wang Hongmei." Li Jiahua said with a smile.

Li Lu said, "Yes, Sister Hongmei, are you still in touch now?" ”

Talking about such a thing, Li Yaohua's face turned red as the director of the Red Star Factory, and he said, "Occasionally, don't worry about my affairs. I remember. ”

"That's good." Li Lu looked at Li Jiahua, hesitated, didn't say anything, just patted Li Jiahua on the shoulder. The hatred of Zheng Dongyun in the second brother's heart, I'm afraid it will be difficult to fade away.

At that time, in order to prevent Li Jiahua from killing Zheng Dongyun, Li Lu took him to the Changchun factory in Northeast China to buy a car. During this time, Li Lu exerted pressure, and the sentence of Zheng Dongyun proceeded quickly, and he was sentenced to 15 years for embezzlement, dereliction of duty, forcible and other crimes, and was dragged to the northwest to serve his sentence.

Li Lu was relieved, otherwise, with Li Jiahua's character, he would definitely try his best to kill Zheng Dongyun. He couldn't know his second brother better. Li Jiahua and Li Yaohua are opposite personalities, Li Yaohua used to be calm and wooden, while Li Jiahua was outgoing and cheerful. After this incident, it was reversed. After experience, Li Yaohua has become more and more entrepreneurial, while Li Jiahua has become much more reticent.

He understands the second brother's mind - Li Jiahua is not married to Yu Xiaoman.

However, whether it is Li Guoguang or Cai Yefen, he will never accept a daughter-in-law who is not a virgin!

This is the thought that penetrated deep into the bone marrow back then, especially in the countryside!

What's going on now, the world is going down......

Even if Li Guoguang and Cai Yefen were satisfied with Xiaoman before, in such a situation, they would not accept such a combination. They can be very, very close to Xiaoman, but they must not make her their daughter-in-law.

Li Lu has nothing to do about it, at least now, it is impossible for him to convince his parents, because - in the event of marriage, it must be his parents who are in charge!

This is 1981!

"Big brother, third brother, I'm leaving." Li Jiahua took a military coat that Li Zuming took from home, said, rubbed Li Zuming's head vigorously, and said, "Don't play crazy, you want to learn to drive, you can review and review the first exam in the next few days during the holidays." ”

"Got it, second brother." Li Zuming said.

The three brothers watched as the convoy staggered away from the valley and slowly walked towards the city along the dirt road outside. When you get to the city, there is a road to the Xihe County Sugar Factory.

Li Zuming pulled a small cart loaded with dropped sugarcane and followed Cai Yefen and his two sisters in front, Li Lu and Li Yaohua followed behind, and went home together.

Li Lu took out a cigarette and divided it, lit it and took a puff, and said, "Big brother, I want to repair the roads in the village for a year, and build a few more to facilitate the transportation of the villagers." ”

"It's a good thing, what do you want to do?" Li Yaohua immediately agreed.

Everyone has the ideal of honoring their ancestors.

"Ask the experts of the Planning Bureau to investigate and study, and if you want to do it, you can do it well." Li Lu said, "I want to leave this matter to you in charge." ”

Li Yaohua nodded and said, "Okay, I'll implement this matter when I turn around." Let's get a sketch from the Planning Bureau. Anyway, we pay for it, and they don't have a reason not to help. ”

"yes, I have to look at the sketches." Li Ludao.

"Okay, I'll get in touch quickly." Li Yaohua said.

When they are in the Li family, and Li Guohua is not at home, it is Li Yaohua who is in charge of the outside world, which is the responsibility and power of the eldest son. No matter how powerful Li Lu is, he can't break the rules of the village. In some villages, the laws of the state are not as binding as some of the rules that have survived.

The matter of building roads in the village must and can only let Li Yaohua come forward, no one else can, of course, Li Guoguang is completely fine, but Li Guoguang was frightened by the speed of making money from the building materials firing factory, and he didn't dare to leave the factory at all. He, an expert specializing in crops, would rather run over to study crop experiments with Zhong Hua than easily run home to take care of the factory when he basically had no way to give opinions on production. He believes that the Guoguang Building Materials Firing Factory is the most profitable factory in Li Lu's hands.

The brothers walked home while talking, and on the other side, Huang Guanghui drove a Red Star Pajero V33 and rushed over......
