Chapter 16 Chinese New Year

"Crackle~Crackle...... Crackling ......"

In ancient times, there were evil beasts that came out to bite people at the end of the lunar year, and the miserable mortals finally invented firecrackers to deal with it. The rest of the month flickered by, and it was Chinese New Year's Eve again.

Different from previous years, this year's Lishuping, and even the entire Xiaoqingshan are filled with a joyful atmosphere, and everyone's faces are less anxious and panicked when they passed the "New Year" in previous years, and there is more silly smile.

"Aunt Zhu, where are you going!"

"Yo, Aunt Li, you're also going to buy pork, right?"

"Pork? What pork? Aunt Li, who has not known the taste of meat for a long time, put down the vegetable basket, which is the leaves of the sweet potatoes in the late season that have just been picked. As for pork, no sound of pig killing was heard in the entire Baligou, and the only piglets had already been pulled to the city to be sold.

Aunt Zhu was stunned, she didn't expect such a big news Aunt Li didn't know, and hurriedly said: "Yo, look at my mouth, I didn't make it clear." Boss Zhang of Lishuping is kind, and anyone who has worked under him can go to Lishuping to get a piece of pork today. However, people over the age of 60 can also go. Boss Zhang is really a good person. ”

"Huh? There is this good thing! That big boss is really good, and they all say that he came down from the God of Wealth in the sky. The instant joy made Aunt Li a little unbelievable, coincidentally and coincidentally, her own kid was a worker in the Baligou mine, and he could usually get back an eye-catching salary, wouldn't he be able to get a pork at home this time?

"Auntie, you go back and take out the work certificate, let's go together, we have to walk back and forth for more than an hour, if you go late, you won't be able to catch up with the pork, but don't leave those lean meats."

The same situation is also playing out in other parts of Xiaoqingshan, where three or four thousand people are like firecrackers thrown away from the fire, and the atmosphere of the New Year is instantly detonated.

"Go to Lishuping and take the pork!" Full of spring breeze, this is the joy of the group of people who are eligible.

"Alas, I can only smell the fragrance this year, and it's the beginning of the year, so I have to try my luck, and it would be nice if I could find something to do." This is the envy of others and the expectation of the thoughts.

For more than half a year, more and more people in Xiaoqingshan have come to work under Boss Zhang. Expanded phosphate fertilizer plant, two small iron mines, power station, road construction team, garment factory, machinery factory, joint defense team......

Zhang Shusheng and Boss Zhang of Lishuping were like immortals who fell from the sky, completely attracting thousands of people from Xiaoqingshan.

"Don't worry, Boss Zhang has prepared enough pork for everyone, all lined up, after checking the certificate, according to the time and position, one or two is counted as one or two, and there is no less than a cent."

Today is the big day of Lishuping, a small village with only two or three hundred people, and nearly a thousand people within a radius of ten miles suddenly came, and many people brought their families to receive pork, and took them out to see the excitement.

A large barren slope backed by the mountain was completely cleared out and used as a slaughterhouse, and the scene was as hot as it was.

On the barren slope, the eight big pits are full of blazing firewood, the pig killing water is boiled hot, a scoop of scalding water down, one by one the big fat pigs are cut into white, and then lifted to the side of the meat rack to hook up, the butchers seem to show off their knife skills, dazzling the big fat pig into pieces.

At one time, there were eight big fat pigs, and the children who could kill the pigs covered their ears, which made the onlookers swallow their saliva wildly.

"Tie Dan'er, don't run around, there are so many people, be careful of being abducted." A young mother held her child's hand tightly, while tiptoeing at the big scene of slaughtering pigs in front of her, holding a certificate of work tightly in her hand, calculating how much meat she could receive.

"This boss is really generous, I have lived for seventy-five years, old man, such a good person and a big scene, but this is the first time I have encountered it." An old man with a white beard and a goatee on crutches said with a red face.

"But no, Boss Zhang is really a good person, fertilizers, seeds, clothes, these things can be afforded by us poor sour ghosts, not to mention, there are emergency relief, respect for the old and love for the young. The children have to go to school and have food, what a good person. ”

"Alas, it's a pity that I injured my leg, and I recovered from my injury at the beginning of the year, and I had to run errands for Boss Zhang."

"Yes, I heard that the joint defense team is also going to recruit, I don't know if the conditions are high."

……

In the crowd, many people from ten miles and eight towns know each other, and they are all lamenting that this year's Chinese New Year's Eve has been rushing, and the center of everyone's discussion is the boss Zhang who has eyes and hands.

Men all talk about how to do it at the beginning of the year, and those who already have a job always want to do a better job and strive to get more wages and more meat.

However, the women who have always loved to join in the fun have not lagged behind.

"Sister-in-law Wang, how much meat does your family have this time?" A young woman playfully asks about her acquaintances.

"Our family entered the factory late, just over a pound." Although the person known as Wang's sister-in-law said so in his mouth, he was still sweet in his heart, not to mention the meat, and he didn't want money, it was really right for Fugui to follow Boss Zhang. "Sister Zhou, the one in your family has been in the factory for a long time, and according to our family, he is still a backbone in the factory."

"What backbone, is to learn what to call... Generator set, I don't know what it is. There is not much meat, and it is less than three catties. ”

This time, the people next to him are envious, three catties of meat, people are more popular than people, go back and talk about the head of the family.

"Sister Laifeng, I heard that your eldest brother Luo Feng is the captain of the joint defense team, why are you also lining up here? This time, your family will definitely have to divide two or three catties of meat. "The countryman's opinion is that a person who looks like something is amazing.

Lai Feng also carried a basket, slightly bigger than others, she originally remembered the instructions of the men in the family, and did not want to be low-key and public, but she didn't expect the people next to her to mention her.

"No, not much...... Lao Luo said that there is no distinction between working under Boss Zhang, no matter who it is, they have to line up to receive meat. Lai Feng said a little shyly, although he was very panicked when he saw the envious eyes of everyone, he was proud of the men in his family. Although Luo Feng has a strange temper and is a little cold-blooded, he has always been very good to himself, and now that he is the team leader, he has never snubbed himself.

"Then there are always two or three catties of meat, there are so many in Sister-in-law Wang's family."

"Yes, come on, Sister Feng......"

Laifeng was squeezed by people, and the countrymen were honest, so they had to snort: "Ten, ten catties ......"

-------------

Looking at the crowded scene in front of him, Sun Changqing's mouth couldn't close with a smile, and he said to Zhang Shusheng, who was watching quietly and distractedly: "Shusheng, it's time for you to go out and say something." ”

"Hmm!" Zhang Shusheng nodded, the dozens of pigs he prepared half a year in advance, although the money was not much, now it came in handy. They are not saviors, and these villagers are not tenants of their own homes. In fact, it is my greatest wish to let them eat, wear clothes, and eat a meal of meat during the New Year.

But even though pork is not expensive for him and it is easy to raise it intensively, he cannot distribute it for free to every household. Relying only on poor sympathy, let alone big dreams, even Xiao Qingshan himself will never be able to get out.

Only by comparing the superiority and making the villagers feel the real benefits and losses, and from the bottom of their hearts they want to follow themselves, want to change their lives, and want to live a good life, can they pull up an iron-clad team and bring out a small green mountain like an iron bucket.

"Everyone, be quiet! Let's invite Zhang Shusheng and Boss Zhang to speak. Sun Changqing stood on the stage set up in advance, pulled his throat, and shouted loudly with a megaphone rolled up in iron sheets.

The scene miraculously quieted down, and more than a thousand people raised their feet, waiting to see the Boss Zhang, who was strange in everyone's eyes.

Zhang Shusheng walked on stage, wore a simple Mao suit, coupled with his young and handsome appearance and extraordinary temperament, he really calmed the scene, took over the iron horn, and began to speak:

"Fathers and fellow villagers, I am Zhang Shusheng, I am here today to give you a New Year's greeting in advance, I wish you all an auspicious Year of the Dragon, the spirit of the Dragon Horse, and a healthy season!

The people who can come to receive meat today, except for a small number of old people, are all brothers and sisters who work under my Zhang Shusheng and give me Zhang Shusheng blood and sweat. Everyone has worked hard for more than half a year, and here, I solemnly thank you!

Everyone's words are not good, and I Zhang Shusheng is clear. Although I, Zhang Shusheng, am a businessman, but here today, I dare to swear to God that I have everyone in my heart!

Poverty is terrible, and I know this. Why poverty, people may not understand. But it doesn't matter, I, Zhang Shusheng, am a dignified seven-foot man, and I am willing to take everyone out of poverty, put on warm clothes, eat well, and use good seeds and fertilizers. Let everyone have something to support the old, learn less, and have a way to make a living for the young and strong laborers.

Although, for various reasons, these are far from enough, but, here today, I Zhang Shusheng will give you a ticket, as long as everyone follows me Zhang Shusheng, next year's day must be a happier and more prosperous New Year.

Now I would like to announce the big things to do at the beginning of the year: first, expand the school, hire more and better teachers, and build a better school. Second, expand factories and open more factories and mines. Third, the joint defense team will expand after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and aspiring boys are welcome to sign up!

Now I announce: start receiving meat!
