Not only did the Xiaolei family brigade get rich, but the whole society seemed to have listened to the starting pistol, one, two, three, and became rich all at once, especially some people with a little skill came to the money quickly, and the family quickly earned three major pieces such as sewing machines, bicycles, and watches, and began to move towards televisions and tape recorders.

During the Spring Festival, for the first time in the world, the Xiaolei family brigade had more wedding banquets than wedding banquets. Lei Dongbao was dragged to various families for a banquet, and the old people of each family begged Lei Dongbao to give their son a marriage certificate, but was stopped by Song Yunping. Song Yunping said that it is better to give the matter of witnessing the marriage to the old secretary who has abdicated but is still highly respected. Lei Dongbao listened to Song Yunping, but Lei's mother was very dissatisfied, she was a widow who worked hard to raise her son, and she ate enough to eat and white-eyed, and now she has survived until her son has become the secretary of the brigade, it is when she raises her eyebrows, the wedding banquet is invited, she always sits on the table, how can she see her son's table give up the table to the old secretary? But as long as he opposes his daughter-in-law's words and secretly talks to his son, it is useless for the son to be seriously inclined to the daughter-in-law, don't look at the son's big and rough person, often the daughter-in-law has a look, he immediately understands the spirit and lowers his voice.

After reminding her son many times that it was ineffective, Lei's mother decided to talk to her daughter-in-law in person, no matter what, this is the Lei family, and she is her mother-in-law. Lei's mother told her daughter-in-law that her son is now the secretary, and the secretary is the boss of the entire brigade. Song Yunping had expected that her mother-in-law, who was in the limelight now, would object, but she didn't expect her mother-in-law to tell her directly, she said that she respected the old and loved the young, and although the old secretary retreated, Dongbao could not take advantage of the old secretary because of this, and he had to be humble. Lei Mu refused, saying that there are more qualified secretaries than the old secretary, and after the old secretary took the throne, the old secretary was witnessing the marriage, and now it is the turn of the new secretary and her son to witness the marriage, and the feng shui takes turns, which makes no sense. Song Yunping just smiled and explained, saying that the wedding is not a job after all, don't stare at seniority on the occasion of the wedding, Dongbao is young, and it is nothing to earn face for the old secretary, but at the team work meeting, Dongbao has to sit in the main position. Lei Dongbao listened, and at this point, he said categorically, affirming that his wife was right, and Lei's mother was depressed. turned around and complained to her neighbors about her daughter-in-law, saying that she had no status in the family, and someone spread the word to Song Yunping's ears, and Song Yunping was helpless. Serfs may not be bullies after turning over.

The more people perceive that their authority is on the sidelines, the more they have to earn back face in front of everyone. After the Spring Festival, Lei's mother refused to cook on the fire, and she didn't want to be led by her daughter-in-law to help raise long-haired rabbits. Lei Dongbao didn't do housework, and he didn't know that housework was cumbersome, and he didn't have time to take care of the trivial things at home, so he kept Song Yunping busy to death. Song Yunping didn't expect that there would be so many things in the family, she was almost in charge of the Song family before, and she had never been so busy that she couldn't stay on the ground. For this reason, she bought a briquette stove, and said that it was always a bit of a hassle and time to burn the stove. But this expense was nagged by Lei's mother for several days, saying that the ready-made straw at home could not be used up and rotten, but she spent money to buy briquettes to burn, and she was a loser. Lei's mother now has a strategy, and she knows that it is useless to tell her son, so she simply breaks up thoughts with her daughter-in-law. Song Yunping was depressed to death, but she was still embarrassed to ask her mother-in-law to work. She only had to save time to study and work.

Lei Dongbao still retains the position of the brick factory and receives a fixed salary, although he does not work most of the time. The brick factory started after the year, and before he could sit firmly in his position, there was a rush to buy bricks to ask for bricks. Lei Dongbao was puzzled, it was cold and freezing at this time, pouring cement and lime overnight would freeze, what was he anxious to buy bricks for, and he found out that everyone was afraid that they would be in a hurry to get bricks in the spring, and they would have to queue for a month to get bricks, which would affect the work plan. Lei Dongbao made a decision immediately and decided to go to the brick kiln for the second time.

Lei Dongbao has always done things quickly, and at noon, he used the radio speaker to call the cadres of the brigade and the old secretary to a meeting. He never made a big deal, so he sat down and said: "I have two plans, one is to add a roof to the old brick kiln to save the bricks from burning in rainy days, and the other is to build a new brick kiln." You see, it turns out that we are two cents cheaper, and the delivery will be delivered in a week, which is still a business that beats gongs and drums to attract it. Now it is the same price as the brick factory, but people still pay for bricks, and in the autumn they have to queue for three weeks to get the bricks. I think there are more bricks in the spring this year. If we don't build it ourselves, other brigades will make it when they look red, so it's better for us to do it ourselves, and we can also arrange our own members to enter the brick factory. Uncle, how much does a new kiln cost? ”

The old secretary was forced to retire by the commune, and he was depressed in his heart, but Lei Dongbao listened to Song Yunping's words, and he was the most important on almost all occasions, and he was still called at the meeting of the brigade. He opened the four accounting drawers, took out the account books, and silently calculated in his heart while flipping through them. The four-eyed accountant hurriedly reminded: "Uncle, the price of everything increased last year, and you can't turn over the old imperial calendar." ”

"Yes." The old secretary didn't raise his head, but he still turned out the old account book and looked at it, took a pen and paper and counted half a piece of paper, and finally said: "Dongbao, I'll count it for you even with the shed, even if it's the simplest linoleum shed, the money of our brick factory team is not enough, and we have to borrow 45,000." ”

When the numbers came out, the whole audience gasped, and they all looked at Lei Dongbao, even if they are rich now, but forty-five thousand, it will take the whole team to pay it back without eating or drinking for half a year. The captain immediately said: "Dongbao, or we will make the roof of the current brick kiln first, there will be a lot of rain in spring, this is the top priority." Forty-five thousand, this debt is so much, who in the whole brigade can sleep peacefully. ”

Lei Shigen is now a member of the brigade department, and he also has a part in speaking: "Secretary Dongbao is right, since the brick kiln was ignited, the supply has exceeded demand every month, and the queue for goods at the door has become longer and longer. But the situation is very good, there are still many problems, now that prices are rising so much, what should we do if everyone can't stand it? I can't stand it, eating is a problem, who still builds a house? Let's be conservative, build a roof first, take back the time for rainy days, and see if the market is still tight, if ......"

"Brother Shigen, you are smart, you can watch, and others will watch too. When another brigade builds a brick kiln, we won't have time to cry. Listen to me settle the accounts and build a new kiln, which can solve the problem of 30 strong laborers of the brigade, and add a roof, we can use 10 more people to dig and beat bricks, and these 40 people can pay 50 or 60 yuan a month each, and our brigade can solve the livelihood of 40 people. Have you done the math on this? Lei Dongbao didn't speak angrily.

The old secretary praised Lei Dongbao: "Yes, as cadres of the brigade, we must take into account economic and social benefits in doing things. Besides, if you have no conscience, the members of the club are rich, and it will be easier for us to recover the rice every year in the future. I voted for Toho, but when it comes to borrowing money, Toho, you can solve it yourself, and the entire brigade of rat holes will not be able to take out forty-five thousand. ”

The four-eyed accountant said without hesitation: "I voted for Secretary Dongbao, and every decision Secretary Dongbao made before looked rushed, and the final effect was good." ”

Two words popped up in the minds of the attendees: "sycophants". Shigen said: "The words of the four eyes also make sense, I know that I have always been conservative, but ...... I'm always worried, Secretary Dongbao, we're not pulling you back, you know my character. ”

Of course, Lei Dongbao knew that Shigen did not intend to dismantle the stage, and Shigen's usual caution also helped him a lot and corrected many mistakes, but now that he believes that he did the right thing, he has no patience to discuss it again. "I don't have a word, you see the effect. Now that we have had enough to eat, we will have to ask for enough fish and meat in the future. I still have the same old saying, if the brick factory loses money, you will burn me in the brick kiln. My wife and wife promise not to settle accounts with you. That's it, I'll go to the credit union and ask for money. After speaking, he looked around at everyone present.

Under his gaze, everyone voted in favor one by one. Unanimously passed.

But Lei Dongbao still discussed with the old secretary in private and asked if there was a way to lower the cost, and the old secretary said that it was impossible, this was already the lowest price. The old secretary also asked Lei Dongbao how he was going to deal with it if the city road went down, and he couldn't let the brick kiln be idle, and everyone was idle. Lei Dongbao said that when there is really no way, the price will be lowered again, anyway, the state-owned brick factory cannot adjust the price indiscriminately, and the state will not let it. They can make their own decisions in running enterprises by social teams, and it is still possible to dig up some walls of state-owned enterprises. The old secretary kept chanting, is this good? How can you dig the foot of the national enterprise wall. When Lei Dongbao said this to the old secretary, he also felt that it was wrong. But thinking about it again, the work of Xiaolei's brick factory is much harder than that of the county brick factory, and everyone should get more hard-earned money.

But Lei Dongbao was worried in his heart, and he was no less worried than other cadres. Just like he burned the brick kiln with all his guts after the Spring Festival last year, in fact, he was also so worried that he had nightmares at night, dreaming that bricks were piled up and no one wanted them, and dreaming that the bricks were halfway burned and there was no coal. But he still believes in one thing, he has to be ahead of others in everything he does, and if he can't learn from the Monkey King of an elf like Song Yunhui, then learn from Zhu Bajie, eat to grab the front, eat and pinch the point. If you are in front, there are many opportunities, and you will never be able to eat meat behind others.

However, now it is different, the prosperity of the old brick kiln shows that he is right, the four eyes are right, and all the results prove that his decision is ultimately correct. Compared with the original poverty, white-eyed and black-eyed, today he knows more about the yellow brick market, and he knows that the market has volume and greater demand. So what is he worried about? Continue to splash the courage to be. They were all frightened by the cowardly people of Shigen.

Thinking like this, Lei Dongbao left all his worries behind. In this world, there is nothing that cannot be done, only unthinkable, since you think of it, then do it boldly.

Lei Dongbao went to the credit union again. He had already gone for the third time, the first time he borrowed money to buy a tractor, the second time he also bought the money for a tractor, and the third time, he didn't even ask, and went directly into the director's office. I saw smoke billowing inside.

As soon as the director of the credit union saw Lei Dongbao, he said: "You came just in time, let me ask you, is your brick better or the brick of the county brick factory?" ”

"Ask everyone who has used it, of course ours is good. Director Shan, I want to borrow 45,000 and pay it back in a year to build a new kiln. ”

"Is the brick factory business really so good? I asked the county brick factory for bricks, and they said that I had a large amount, so I could give me 5,000 yuan first, and I would have to get it in a month, and I don't know when I could give me the rest. his grandma, I've already bought all the cement, and I can't clump it when I put it down in the spring? ”

"The director's family built a new house?"

"The credit union is building a two-story dormitory building, and the construction is ready to start in March, and the 5,000 bricks are used for it. There is also the commune construction engineering team, saying that the theater is more important than building my dormitory building, the cinema is a 'eleventh' gift project to the National Day, and my dormitory wants me to find a mason by myself, and you say that it is not a peasant adobe house, a two-story building, a two-story building with prefabricated cement panels, can I rest assured that it will be handed over to those masons who can only build adobe houses? Not to mention, you want to borrow money? On one condition, from this day onwards, all your burned bricks will be sold to me. ”

"Okay, how many? The quality of our bricks is not said, it is knocked loudly, and the whole piece is burned through, unlike the core of the county brick and tile factory, which is still black. Lei Dongbaoxin said that the county brick and tile factory does not borrow money from the commune credit cooperative, and Director Shan has no problem with the county brick and tile factory.

"A few ......," Director Shan choked, "or you drag 20,000 bricks for me to put them first, and then ask you to take them when I don't have enough to build, you have to give them to me on the same day anyway." ”

Lei Dong Baoqi said: "Only 20,000 yuan? The drawings are not indicated? You show me the drawings, I took a platoon when I was a soldier, and I have built all military projects, so I can understand them. Count it correctly, so as not to ask me for bricks temporarily, and I can't get enough friends. ”

"Oh, that's great. Look at it, I described it, and everyone said it looked good. ”

Lei Dongbao took the drawing and looked at it, Zhang Fei's face would also smile, isn't this a picture drawn by a primary school student? Only a golden sun is drawn in the upper right corner, and a few green grass trees are drawn in the lower left corner. He pushed the drawing back in front of Director Shan and said, "I can't see the internal structure of this drawing, how can I calculate it?" You just tell me what you think, although I painted it ugly, I mean it. ”

Director Shan then explained his intentions to Lei Dongbao in one way or another. Lei Dongbao heard half of it, put down the pencil in his hand, shook his head and said, "Soil, I used to make ...... for the headquarters This can't be said, let's put it this way, the corridor can't be wanted, the toilet and kitchen are better not to be shared, you say that the toilet is outside, what should I do if I fall asleep at night and go out to the wrong toilet? It's too cold in winter. You watched me draw it for you, this is the house where our chief lives, hey, I built it for the first time, and it took several days to get the drawings clear. As he spoke, he drew simple drawings.

Director Shan said strangely: "Put the toilet inside, it doesn't stink to death?" This doesn't work, it's too late to catch flies in the summer. ”

Lei Dongbao said: "You put on the tiles, usually wash them with a brush, which is more useful than other people's dung buckets, and the chiefs use them like that." ”

Director Shan didn't know anything about the drawings drawn by Lei Dongbao, and it was useless for Lei Dongbao to explain it, but his brain turned quickly, and he slapped Lei Dongbao's hand and said, "Since you can draw drawings, build houses, and have bricks in your hands, why don't you set up a construction engineering team?" I will lend you another 5,000, and this 5,000 special funds will be used exclusively to buy you equipment for building a house, and I will make another request, you must build the house for me in May, and my son will get married in June, and the boy will only be married if he lives in a public house. You can build the east side house first, I want the east side of the second floor. ”

Lei Dongbao's eyes lit up, yes, there are several masons and three carpenters in the Xiao Lei family, and there are many singles who have too much strength to use, and he is a general manager who has built military projects, why don't you set up an engineering team by yourself? Besides, the engineering team set up by himself specializes in using the bricks and tiles burned by his own brick kiln, isn't the new kiln another layer of guarantee? When he slapped his desk, he almost stunned Director Shan. He was bored in the director's office and drew out the six houses as required, and roughly calculated how many steel bars, cement, lime, sand and gravel, as well as wood, water pipes, and paint were needed, and asked Director Shan to buy them at the commune supply and marketing cooperative. He immediately asked Lei Shigen to drive a tractor over, and followed Director Shan to drag the reinforced concrete back and pour the floor slab first. Director Shan was still suspicious, but he was forced by his son's marriage to go to Liangshan to ask Lei Dongbao to take charge, but now he saw that he really did a good job and believed it. hurriedly called the friends of the supply and marketing cooperatives to ask them to urgently prepare the things that Lei Dongbao wanted, and in the commune, he still had a good time.

Lei Dongbao was not ambiguous at all, took 50,000 yuan back, brick kiln and roof, started work under the supervision of the old secretary, and allocated two masons and one carpenter to the old secretary. He took 5,000 yuan to buy the equipment that should be used, and led all the masons, two carpenters, and 20 helpers of Xiaolei's family to the commune to build a large western-style building. He had been an acting platoon commander, and he had managed more than 40 people to work, and now he is even more familiar with the road, with good command, plus he has a pair of ring-eyed eyes that are not angry and self-assured, no one dares to be lazy on the construction site. Director Shan came over to patrol every day, and saw the red brick outer wall and inner wall rising from the ground, the speed was amazing, and the insiders said that this brick wall was built straight. Halfway through the first floor, Director Shan saw what the structure of the house looked like, it turned out that a staircase went up to three households, and the outside looked like a "convex" word, sure enough, the toilet and kitchen were inside, and when the door was closed, no one saw it shirtless. When I went back to talk to my son, my son was impatient to get married.

The house was built quite quickly, and it was all a genius who started work, and the sky was not dark and the work was not finished, just like the long work that saw the stars at both ends before, but everyone had no complaints. Everyone was so tired that they were paralyzed into mud when they went home, including Lei Dongbao, and sometimes Song Yunping helped him when he went home to take a bath. A few clever helpers were knocked on the back of the head by Lei Dongbao and taught them to build walls and plaster cement, and they went into battle. His roar was everywhere on the construction site. In two weeks, a layer was covered, and in one month, the frame was completed, and the floor was electrified and water pipes were started. When the prototype of the two-story building with red tiles and white walls appeared in front of everyone, the whole commune was shocked, I had never seen such a foreign house, there were front and rear balconies, the balcony was still curved, and the corridor entered the place, and the two snow-white columns were as magnificent as the doorposts of the Great Hall of the People. And when I walked inside, I saw that the front and back of the house were translucent, and there was even a special bathroom, which had been made of white porcelain squatting pits, and there was no need to pour the toilet every morning in the future, the water was flushed clean, and there was a place to take a bath, and the bath water would be drained away by itself. Some people say that this kind of house has only been seen in high-end places in Shanghai. After seeing the real thing, Director Shan's heart fell to the ground, so that the toilet in the room would not smell.

The credit union broke its head for the allocation of these six houses.

Lei Dongbao and the others did not get their jobs, and a unit in the county with good efficiency found them again and asked them to build 30 staff dormitories in this way. After the credit union dormitory was finally settled, the people in the construction engineering team of Xiaolei's family were stupid, and in a month and a half, they paid enough to pay the retention of the brigade, earning an average of one hundred and five per person. Everyone thinks that even if you die on the construction site, it's worth it.

Lei Dongbao led the construction team to rush from the commune to the county non-stop and continued to start construction. But this time his mind turned a good turn, the brigade itself came forward to buy cement, steel bars, sand and gravel, and pulled out the four treasures from the brick factory to be responsible for pouring cement prefabricated slabs, whoever wants to ask them to build a house has to buy cement slabs from them, which can make a good amount of money. He simply begged the county magistrate Xu to help open a letter of introduction, and directly listed the material company to get cement and steel bars, which were cheap and had more goods. Director Shan now sees him like a treasure, he has long been accustomed to his fierce spirit, and when he stares at the door, he does not blink his eyes and approves him a loan to buy a Dongfanghong tractor, and he will not be embarrassed to say the benefits he wants.

Luxgen jumped on the big tractor and ran in the city and county every day. He had a scheming mind, and blackened the two tractors with asphalt, and asked the well-written Hongwei to write "Xiaolei's Brigade" with red paint, and as soon as the tractor was opened, the prosperity of Xiaolei's family spread, so that people who were looking for him on a blind date in the future would also be enthusiastic.

The members of the Xiaolei family all rushed to look at the money behind Lei Dongbao, while the cadres of the Xiaolei family team trembled and looked back at the debts behind the team.

Lei Dongbao is full of energy, and he almost wants to learn from Dayu three times without entering the house. Fortunately, the newlywed Yan'er was reluctant not to go home for a day, but she was so tired that she couldn't open her eyes when she went home. Song Yunping saw him like this, she couldn't say her hardships, and she was reluctant to bother her husband who had worked hard all day.

The spring flowers are blooming, the rabbits have mated and hugged the nest, and the rabbit hutch can't finish every day, but the mother-in-law sits in the drying field every day and basks in the sun with the old man and the old lady who can't move to accept compliments. The female rabbit is docile, and it is not easy to move when shearing, and it is best for the male rabbit to shear the hair of two people together, but where is she to move her mother-in-law. There are so many rabbits, she can't cut them alone. And she knows that more than 100 long-haired rabbits will be born in April, which will be distributed to the whole team of farmers to breed, and the little rabbits who have not opened their eyes must be stared at by the side, otherwise either the weak and small will not be able to eat, or the big rabbits will not honestly press the rabbits, and there will be any problems. She knew that she was alone, even if it was twenty-four hours a day, from the day the little rabbits were born one after another, she would not be able to keep herself busy. She thought, don't count on her mother-in-law, or find someone else to help. But she also has concerns, will this be said to be exploiting workers? She is not afraid of being tired, she is afraid that she will finally take off her hat and be beaten into the exploiting class, she is afraid that she will be criticized at any time, and she is even more afraid that Lei Dongbao will be involved.

For this reason, she wrote to her brother to ask if it was feasible to hire someone to help. My brother's memories are like a database: last year there was a document on non-farm self-employed workers, which clearly stated that the labor of others should not be exploited. It's okay to call relatives to help you if you play a side game, and if you say that the salary is a thank you gift afterwards, others can't say anything, but if you ask irrelevant people to help, it is estimated that it will be troublesome. Song Yunping didn't dare to think about finding someone again.

Seeing that the day of the rabbit's pregnancy was approaching, Song Yunping had to discuss with Lei Dongbao alone, and she couldn't stand it. She grabbed Lei Dongbao, who fell on the bed after eating, pointed to her face and asked him, "Dongbao, do you see that I have lost weight?" ”

Lei Dongbao looked at it carefully and said busily: "It doesn't seem to be thin, and my face is not good." What's wrong? People are uncomfortable? ”

Song Yunping brushed away Lei Dongbao's hand that probed her forehead, and sighed: "It's not uncomfortable, it's tired." It's a little hot today, and I have to cut out all the rabbit fur. In the past few days, the rabbit is pregnant, eats a lot, has a lot of illness, and is very busy, but in a few days it will be even busier, and the little rabbit will be born, these little rabbits are the lifeblood of the Xiaolei family brigade to engage in side business, and it is best not to die at all, but I must not be busy, what should I do? ”

"It's easy, whoever wants a rabbit breed, who will help you for three days, I will convey it tomorrow, and no one dares to say no. Don't tire yourself, I'm distressed. ”

Song Yunping didn't expect things to be so easy to solve, she couldn't help laughing, she thought to herself, but she took so many detours. "Okay, I just need someone to help me clean up the rabbit house, go to the field to cut vegetables, and go to the grain station to buy bran. The baby rabbit is born or I am in charge of it myself, the baby rabbit is weak, afraid of infection, and too many people will be exposed to the bacteria. ”

Lei Dong Baoqi said: "It's not much, my mother has done it." Don't you dislike people coming in and out of my house the most? ”

Song Yunping lowered her head, trying not to get excited: "Your mother, now I have to go to the drying field twice to invite me to dinner, and I pretended not to hear it the first time." ”

Lei Dongbao was leaning on the head of the bed and sitting up, but Song Yunping hurriedly pressed him when he saw it, and said lightly: "What are you doing, she is your mother, she raised you enough to retire, don't be so fierce." Let's not worry about the old man, let's think of other ways. ”

Lei Dongbao looked at Song Yunping, and then suddenly realized: "No wonder my face is not good, and my eyelids are swollen when I wake up in the morning." I also think that you also raised so many rabbits when you were in your mother's house, and you are used to it, but I didn't expect it...... You've been running out of classes lately, right? ”

Song Yunping was asked by her husband like this, and she was so aggrieved that tears couldn't help but flow out, and Lei Dongbao was in a hurry. But Song Yunping still held down Lei Dongbao and didn't let him go to his mother, for fear that things would make things more stiff. Lei Dongbao rolled his eyes and thought about it, and found that family affairs were more troublesome than on the construction site, there were two people in the family, he couldn't rush anyone to the back of the head, and his wife didn't even dare to be loud here. He thought for a long time before he said, "You sold this batch of breeding rabbits, and by the way, you sold all the rabbits." In the future, it depends on me to make money, you see that I am now a month, the salary of the brick factory is forty, and the engineering team can basically get more than two hundred, and the county magistrate Xu does not get as much as me. I said that marrying you will not let you suffer, you still study well in the University of Electrical Engineering, and you will be the accountant for me in the future, and I will have no time to raise rabbits. ”

"I'm not a bourgeois lady, I'm not so squeamish, I'm just worried about ......"

"Your brother said that you are the most worried, don't fuck, I am at home, you have more time to study, you are the material for the accounts, you can't keep rabbits, how much can you produce."

Song Yunping lowered her head and thought for a while, suddenly brightened, and choked up: "Yes, I actually put the cart before the horse, otherwise what would I do when I read the university." This litter of rabbits came out of the cage, I concentrated on reading, and I was really envious when I saw Xiaohui so capable. Dongbao, you see I've been thinking about it for a few days, and I've been worried for almost a month, so it's better for you to solve the problem in a few words. You really can. ”

Lei Dongbao was relieved, and was praised by his wife again, and said with a smile: "If you have anything on your mind in the future, you will tell me directly, otherwise I will not see it if I am careless." My mom ......."

Song Yunping covered his mouth and said lightly: "Don't worry about your mother, you can talk about her as a son, but your mother will only come at me if she is angry, and we will still let her." Another thing to discuss with you, you see that it has been raining for a few days, and the foot of this wall has been seeping water, and the house is very cloudy, and the newly painted walls are moss. Our young body is good, and it's okay to live, but your mother is old, and it's not good for your legs and feet to live. If I sell all the rabbits this time, it is a lot of income, so it is better to tear down the rabbit house behind and build a brick house for your mother to live in, and then we will tear down and build a brick house here with a little more money. ”

Lei Dongbao was ashamed when he heard this: "You see that you think about my mother so much, my mother is uneducated and bullies you." Behind the rabbit hutch demolished the fence to plant fruit trees, and I asked the team for approval of the foundation of the mother's house. A small house will be built in the back, and our house will not be able to breathe. ”

"Don't, you are the secretary, you can't be specialized, you take the foundation, those who have more people in the family have to gossip."

Lei Dongbao smiled: "It's worrying about it again." I approve wasteland, and I don't want fertile land, who dares to talk more. It is enough to approve more than 40 square meters. I put a floor on my mom so she doesn't have to cry out about her feet every winter. How much money does our family have now? ”

Song Yunping believed that Lei Dongbao did things in an orderly manner, no longer questioned, with tears in her eyes, she took out a thin homework book with a smile: "Look, they all keep accounts." ”

Lei Dongbao looked at it and was shocked: "There are so many?" It's enough to build a small bungalow. You wait, I'll ask someone to exchange the voucher, let's go to the city with an imported TV set, and you won't have to go to the county every day to attend classes in the future. I may have to go to Shanghai to buy the watch, so I asked whose relatives had the solution. A sewing machine is also required. ”

Song Yunping burst out laughing: "Why can't you get money in your hands, the brigade is in debt now, and you are happy to spend all the money at home, you are a." ”

Lei Dongbao saw that his daughter-in-law finally smiled, and pounced on it before letting go: "Salary will be paid soon, don't worry." I simply bought three watches, one for each of us, and one for Xiaohui, a dignified college student who carried the tin broken alarm clock brought by his family every day to go to class and out of class, like what to say. I'm embarrassed to wear this old watch you married every day, and when you go back, you return it to your mother, and your mother wants a watch too. ”

Song Yunping couldn't help but smile and give Lei Dongbao a fist: "You loser." But she listened to Lei Dongbao, his ideas were always unexpected, but most of them were good ideas. She was very happy that Lei Dongbao had also considered her mother's family thoughtfully.

However, just as the director of the commune credit union can't eat in the county, the strips of the county magistrate Xu are still useful at first, and Sibao first took the strips of the county magistrate Xu to the store department under the Municipal Bureau of Commerce to buy cement and steel bars, but soon ate cold eyes and heard cold words. After returning empty-handed again and again, Sibao could only find Lei Dongbao to report his difficulties. Sibao said with a sad face, he went to the city to buy steel, and those people in the Municipal Materials Bureau first dragged him and asked him to wait, and then he was entangled impatiently, so he complained that the county magistrate Xu did not care about the overall situation, and opened a small stove for the enterprises in his county, and randomly approved the strips to help buy the planned materials, and I don't know what benefits the company had. Enterprises in other counties and cities should also work hard and quickly go to the four modernizations, and they have given materials to your county, and others will use what to produce. Sibao said that when he went back later, people would ignore it, saying that he couldn't specialize the county of County Magistrate Xu.

Lei Dongbao was surprised, what, County Magistrate Xu's strips didn't work? He wanted to go to the county to complain to the county magistrate Xu at the moment, but suddenly it occurred to him that the Materials Bureau would not allow him to buy it, so he would go directly to the factory to buy it, wouldn't it? Just like the county brick and tile factory, it is much more troublesome to take bricks from the sales department of the supply and marketing cooperatives than to take bricks directly from the factory. When he got home, he immediately sorted out the towel and toothbrush, followed the address of the cement factory printed on the cement bag and the address of the steel factory where the steel bar roll was hanged, and went directly to the factory with Sibao.

First touched a cement factory in this province, the cement factory supply and marketing department was polite, seeing them come all the way, they served them two cups of strong tea. However, the people in the supply and marketing department of the cement factory regretfully told the two that they were state-owned factories, and the state supplied production materials according to the plan, and the products produced needed to be sold to the state in accordance with the supply tasks stipulated by the state, and the state would uniformly allocate where the cement would eventually go.

People said it reasonably, Sibao listened to the corners of his eyes and mouth drooped together, and his heart said that there was no hope, and he finally became the head of the cement pre-product factory, and now he had no food to close. Lei Dongbao was unwilling to die, holding an enamel cup, stretching his neck, and reaching out to the head of the supply and marketing section, he said stiffly: "Section chief, you see that we have come all the way, or you sell us a few tons, just a few tons, you only need to give a few tons." ”

The chief of the supply and marketing section looked at the farmer and said with a smile: "The raw materials we import and the cement we produce are all quotas, and if we sell them to you in violation of regulations, we will have a big hole in the warehouse, and we will not be able to complete this year's plan." If we can't complete our plan this year, everyone's year-end bonus will be in vain. ”

Sibao listened to Lei Dongbao's shame, and said in his heart how could he say such unqualified words, no, it makes people laugh. Lei Dongbao didn't care, he still stared at the chief of the supply and marketing section: "Comrade, I think it's convenient to fill this hole, you also go to buy some unplanned materials to produce cement, and the cement produced is not handed over to the Commercial Bureau, and it will be sold directly?" The money from the sale happens to be a bonus, and the thing is sold to us. Sibao looked at Lei Dongbao slapping the table and talking, he really wanted to get under the table, people are state-owned enterprises, regular enterprises, there are plans and rules for doing things, one board and one eye, which is what he Lei Dongbao said to himself, how can people say such uneducated words. The so-called eating meat with a tiger and eating with a yellow dog, he lost face with Lei Dongbao today.

The chief of the supply and marketing section really squinted his eyes and smiled again: "Comrade Lei, Secretary Lei, we understand your feelings, but we are a state-owned industrial enterprise, and we have to do it in accordance with the tasks planned by the state. ”

Sibao really wanted to drag Lei Dongbao out, but he always cared about Lei Dongbao's black face, and only dared to work hard in his heart, and listened helplessly to his secretary to continue to speak without giving up: "Comrade, we still owe a lot of debt to the credit union. You help, help our little Lei family brigade. You must help. Sibao frowned and didn't say anything again.

The chief of the supply and marketing section said: "It's not that I don't help, I can't help." In this case, I will give you some addresses of our provincial cement and lime plants, and you can go to those factories and ask. But basically, don't get your hopes up. ”

Lei Dongbao had no choice but to take out a note, which contained the addresses and telephone numbers of three cement factories near and far. Walking out of the factory gate, Sibao finally breathed a sigh of relief and straightened his back, but he didn't expect the back of his head to hit him, although he didn't dare to resist, but he also muttered: "Why are you, don't be angry with me in your heart." ”

Lei Dongbao glared: "Mom, don't think I didn't see you squeezing your eyebrows." You can take the train back for me, tell my family, and I'll run these three families back again. ”

Sibao stood far away from the range of firepower, and said without fear of death: "It's useless to go, it's a waste of travel expenses." ”

Lei Dongbao said: "What do you mean useless? Doesn't this ask about the three cement factories again? You know a fart, you can do it so much, the secretary will do it for you? ”

Sibao took three steps back: "Okay, you go, I'm not going, save a sum of money." The travel bag is given to you, and you buy me a good train ticket. ”

Lei Dongbao didn't want Sibao to follow, he thought that it was clear to pay the money to buy goods, and he wanted to take Sibao out to open his eyes, which was a benefit, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult to order cement, and according to the supply and marketing section chief, it may be more difficult to buy steel bars. He didn't want Sibao to always look at him and beg for help, embarrassing. He is not a common man like Sibao, Sibao is not burdened, he is the secretary of the brigade, in charge of the jobs of hundreds of people in the brigade, and there is a butt of debts behind him, he is chased by hundreds of mouths and a butt of debts, and he can't run if he doesn't run.

Lei Dongbao continued to carry a black bag and rummaged through the national atlas to find the cement factory, and he found that the old military uniform was particularly useful, and sometimes he met people who were also veterans in the old military uniform, and he could tell a lot of inside information. So this one introduced that one, and that one introduced another, and finally found a cement factory with a similar atmosphere to his brick factory, with a slightly small scale, but vigorous production. After working overtime to complete the national plan, the factory purchased coal, limestone and other raw materials unplanned, and sold the cement directly by itself. Lei Dongbao excitedly shook the hand of the secretary who received him, and finally met his comrade. However, unlike Xiaoleijia Brick Factory, the ex-factory price of their unplanned cement is slightly higher than the national purchase price. This gave Lei Dongbao a revelation, since it is a best-selling product, why not increase the price?

The secretary of the cement factory did not say a word and agreed to deliver the goods, but after calculation, the car of the cement factory was directly placed in Xiaolei's house, and the price of cement from the city was lower than that of the freight fee. If there is a stock, it is simple, pay the money and watch the cement be shipped out of the warehouse. But Lei Dongbao didn't want to sit in the sun and watch the loading boringly, he stayed in the secretary's office to learn from each other, he talked about his piecework, his assessment ideas, the secretary talked about workshop contracting, and how to implement the right of responsibility to people, both of them were officers, they were speculative, and they learned a lot of management experience from each other. In the evening, they also ate and drank together, and they all sighed that although they were making plans and sweating blood and sweat for the benefit of the collective, it was their own heads that were carried into battle.

The next day, before the two cement trucks set off, the secretary of the cement plant gave Lei Dongbao the address of the leader of the supply and marketing department of a steel plant, and asked Lei Dongbao to go up directly without going around the bend, saying that he had just called a customer who had bought cement to bring it, and the customer had bought unplanned steel bars from that factory. The secretary of the cement factory also promised that if he wanted the goods in the future, he would make a phone call, and no one would come, they would send the cement to Xiaolei's house, and let the driver bring the money back. Lei Dongbao is overjoyed, and his work pays off.

Loaded with scarce reinforced concrete back to Xiao Lei's house, Lei Dongbao didn't say a word, and without discussing it with anyone in the brigade headquarters, he withdrew the four treasures and replaced them with Shi Hongwei, who was more courageous. When Hongwei took office, Lei Dongbao taught him a lesson, although the reinforced concrete that was finally transported to Xiaolei's house was cheaper than that taken from the city, the ex-factory price was set higher than that sold to the state. We have no enmity with the great unity, let's learn, let's not be polite, see who wants to be in a hurry with the cement floor, increase the price, who wants to be in no hurry, willing to wait, then the low price, but it must not be cheaper than the market. Although Hongwei will be skeptical, doubting whether this will be speculation and violating the law, he still agrees to come down, isn't the steel mill and the cement factory also doing it? Who has an enmity against the great unity? He carried it out carefully and cunningly according to what Lei Dongbao said, but he didn't expect to be scolded a lot, but the cement floor slabs were still sold, and the supply exceeded demand. Hongwei, who tasted the sweetness, saw Lei Dongbao and played unity.

Unconsciously, these farmers, who were originally rice pesticides in their mouths, changed their voices, and terms such as profit cost probed their heads to get to work.

Only Sibao felt wronged in his heart, and he was removed from his post without doing anything wrong, and many people behind him pointed at him and laughed at him. But no matter how wronged he was, he knew that it was useless to talk to anyone about this matter, so he could only find Lei Dongbao. He privately asked Lei Dongbao if he had made Lei Dongbao angry at the first cement factory, and Lei Dongbao said no, he was not so small-eyed. Lei Dongbao said that he asked Sibao to be an official to see that he was a smiling tiger on weekdays, and asked him to go out and beg for goods, who wouldn't do anything else to sell goods, what can't be sold now? As long as you can count money, you can do it. Since you can't be lower, you can only withdraw. Sibao has nothing to say, because he has seen that those who are domineering like Lei Dongbao are all in the lower three and four, and even the lower three and four are so low that he is ashamed, it turns out that Lei Dongbao is not stupid, but there is no way to do that. The opportunity must not be lost, the time will not come again, he can only beg Lei Dongbao to give him another chance in the future.

Lei Dongbao agreed casually, but his mind was not on this. He ran down in and out of the province for nearly a month, and now he is only full of his delicate wife. When he got home, he shouted outside the yard, his voice was already loud, and now he was excited. He soon saw his Pingping running out like a wind, with a smile on his face, where could he care that this was broad daylight, picked up Yunping and turned around, and rushed home. This time, Song Yunping had experience, and when she got to the door, she shrunk her neck, and finally avoided an impact.

When Lei Dongbao entered the door, he saw a room of red-skinned mouse-like rabbits lying on cardboard, a nest of large cardboard boxes, and the house was full of cardboard boxes, almost without a foothold. When a woman who came to help saw the secretary like this, she exclaimed and laughed, and consciously said goodbye and went home. But as soon as the woman left with her front foot, and Lei Mu's back foot entered the door, Lei Dongbao had no choice but to let go of Song Yunping, knowing that she was thin-skinned. Song Yunping saw her mother-in-law chasing her son and talking, so she went to the back to pick up the big rabbit to feed the little rabbit, Lei Dongbao promised the old lady in his mouth, his eyes only looked at his wife, and he went to watch the little rabbit breastfeed, and said that they would have a room of sons in the future. Lei Lao Niang was very helpless, so she could only be angry that her daughter-in-law didn't know the rules and monopolized her son.

Although Lei Dongbao was tired all the way, he could still detect the people around him getting up quietly in the middle of the night. He snored and waited for a while and didn't see Song Yunping return to the house, he was anxious, and went down to look for her, but saw that she was busy turning around the house, helping the little rabbit in the east to hold on to the nipple, pulling the leg of the female rabbit in the west to rescue the little rabbit who was suppressed, there was no sound on the soles of his feet, but there was no respite at all. Lei Dongbao took off his shoes and obediently consciously helped, he was rough, but he could at least take care of a corner, so that Song Yunping could have a chance to breathe. After waiting for a while, they saw that the little rabbit was full, and they rolled down from the mother rabbit's arms, and the two of them took the mother rabbit back to the rabbit cage one by one, and carried the little rabbit into the grass nest and covered it with a small quilt.

Lei Dongbao saw that his mother didn't come out from beginning to end, although he didn't say anything in his mouth, he knew it in his heart. Turning around to make up for it, he hugged his wife to sleep, and deliberately took a closer look, and sure enough, his wife's chin was pointed again. This time, he didn't discuss it with his wife, and the next day he quietly went to the drying field to find the old mother who was sitting in the shade of a tree chatting, and scolded her that the family did not know how to take care of each other, and that she was not too old to move, and that she was only in her fifties. Lei's mother was reprimanded by her son, although she was aggrieved, she was obedient in action, went back to the shade of the tree to retrieve the stool, and rushed home to make a fire to cook, but she didn't know how to use a briquette stove, she still used a big stove. And she is used to cooking rice under a large pot, with a bamboo drawer on top, and everything is steamed on it. This not only saves firewood, but also reduces the use of oil. Song Yunping saw that she could come back to cook rice without her three invitations and four urges, and as for the steamed yellow vegetable leaves, she could only open her eyes and close her eyes. It's just that Song Yunping didn't know how her mother-in-law changed her mind all of a sudden, and turned around to ask Lei Dongbao, but he refused to take credit.

Seeing the red-skinned rabbit slowly turn pink, the two eyes opened, and then slowly turned white, and the fine hair grew softly, and then began to be dishonest, scurrying around the cardboard box, and then always worried about crawling out of the cardboard box, but the carton was high, and they fell back again and again. After a month, the rabbits turned completely white, only the eyes were blood-red, and they were finally out of the cage, and the women of the Xiaolei family rushed to take them home to be raised as golden eggs, Song Yunping's face was also pale, and finally he was so tired that he fell down and was sent to the hospital for a test, and the hemoglobin was so low that the doctor scolded Lei Dongbao for abusing women.

After the rabbits were sold, Song Yunping could finally lie on the bed to recuperate, and Lei Dongbao would go home to take a look when he had time, afraid that his mother would not take care of him, so he would bring tea and water by himself. When I came back, I always saw Yun Ping reading a book, and Yun Ping also told him with a smile that he would study all the lessons for a week today, or read the stories in the house again, and then tell Lei Dongbao to listen to them, Lei Dongbao listened to the story in his heart, and the difference was only in the female fox or the female ghost. But he is obsessed with Yun Ping's voice, no matter how you listen to it, it sounds good.

The boudoir is gentle and charming, but Lei Dongbao is thunder and lightning outside. Gradually, the whole county and even the whole city knew that they were looking for Xiaolei's house to build a house, and the most sought-after cement, cement prefabricated panels, bricks and tiles could be bought from Xiaolei's family. As long as you contact Xiao Lei's family, you don't have to worry about it, wait for the Xiao Lei family's construction engineering team to bring manpower, materials, and drawings, and wait for them to build the building. Everyone calls this a dragon. Although the price is a little higher, it is also very high, and you don't have to stuff stuffed cigarettes to bleed when you buy scarce materials and ask for approval? It's the same to pay for it, and it's troublesome, anyway, it's public, so it's better to leave it to Xiaolei's family to be quiet.

The market is only so big, given to Xiaolei's family, there is a shortage of food from other families, and the county construction engineering company, the commune construction engineering team, the county brick and tile factory, and the relevant stores and departments that originally sat north and south, gradually became cold. Although I still don't have to worry about eating, the prize money is greatly affected. In particular, the county brick and tile factories have been oppressed for the longest time, and they took the lead, and everyone sued the county. The Xiaoleijia Brigade was accused of speculation, buying low and selling high-priced materials with state planned materials, and suing the Xiaoleijia Brigade for disrupting the planned economic order and competing with state-owned enterprises for materials and work. This time, it is no longer the guerrillas like Lao Qian and others, they are cadres of state-owned enterprises who eat imperial grain, they are familiar with the routines of the organs, and they know that the Xiaolei family is a model in the hands of the county magistrate Xu, so they directly sue the secretary of the palace of the county party committee through various channels.

The county party committee attaches great importance to it, and it should be said that it attaches too much importance to it, and specially convened a meeting of the leaders of the four leading groups to discuss the phenomenon of the Xiaoleijia Brigade to discuss whether this is a rational economic phenomenon that emerged after the Third Plenary Session of the CPC Central Committee, or whether it is a resurgence of the speculative behavior of lawless businessmen before liberation. The director of the county commercial bureau said that the steel and cement resold by the Xiaoleijia Brigade are all means of production that are in short supply at the state's key point, and according to regulations, these materials must be managed in a planned manner, and the general means of production such as bricks and tiles are not very restricted. The county magistrate Xu said that at present, all he has heard is the words of the suing enterprise, and what the facts are, they cannot be back to back, and they must let Xiaolei's family also have a chance to explain the situation. Secretary Gong made a decision on the spot, and immediately dispatched an inventory team composed of relevant bureaus to check the economic operation procedures of the Xiaolei family brigade and let the facts speak. The Xiaolei Brigade was ordered to suspend all foreign economic activities at this stage.

County Magistrate Xu finally faintly smelled a trace of flavor from the palace secretary's unprecedented vigorous and resolute behavior, and finally understood what the essence of the matter was: their purpose was to knock on the mountain and shock the tiger. But even if he knew the essence of the matter, the Xiao Lei family brigade would still play a pivotal role in the whole matter.

In the hot July, several pale green ceiling fans on the roof of the conference room were fanning, and the county leaders at the meeting talked eloquently in the local dialect, and the content of their talks was now understood by the Mandarin-speaking outsider Xu County Magistrate. He did not speak out again, because he saw that a conservative trend of thought was still firmly in front of the heads of these gray-haired leaders who had suffered sports injuries, and that some people had ulterior motives to take advantage of the contradiction between this deep-rooted conservative force and the centralized denunciation of the model of the Xiaolei family brigade, and took the opportunity to consolidate the undercurrent of geographical circles in the leadership.

County Magistrate Xu understood that he was a little younger after all, he lacked consideration in all aspects, and his local work experience was insufficient, so that he was in a hurry to make progress and offended a group of people. He understood that while he was doing things and making political achievements, he did not pay close attention to the improvement of the policy and ideological level of the county's cadres, and did not implement the county's cadres to change their minds to think about problems, and more importantly, he did not hide his own aura of young and knowledgeable leaders, which led to the psychological disgust of the local grassroots cadres. The latter made him lose most of the support of the four major teams.

At today's meeting, the opinions were almost one-sided, his opposition was invalid, and his opposition may arouse the disgust of the participants, which will lead to a more severe investigation of the Xiaolei family brigade. If the problems of the Xiaolei family's brigade are investigated, it will be like a galloping horse suddenly being tightened on the reins, causing the horse to be blocked and unable to stand, and the advancing carriage being overturned, then the small problem of the Xiaolei family, which is insufficient and has debts from the credit union, will evolve into a major economic problem. Although the participants did not say it explicitly, they all knew that in the future, these problems would be labeled as his Xu county magistrate and become a stain on his political achievements. County Magistrate Xu looked at the gray hair of the palace secretary next to him, and more appreciated the teachings of a senior before taking office, who said that half of the energy of doing local work has to be used to deal with regional interpersonal relations.

At the end of the meeting, when everyone was waiting for him to express his position, he spoke in support of the investigation, he said that if there is a change, if there is none, then encouragement, the inventory work is to help the Xiaolei family brigade sort out the crooked road on the road ahead, and help the Xiaolei family brigade better unite and move forward under the central policy instructions. As a result, this sentence became the purpose of the establishment of the inventory team. Secretary Gong applauded and praised County Magistrate Xu for saying this well, and until the end of the meeting, the atmosphere was harmonious as usual.

But when the county magistrate Xu returned to the office, he thought about it for a while, and he wanted to find Lei Dongbao to teach him secretly, but he felt that it was inappropriate, although he never labeled the Xiao Lei family as the county magistrate Xu, but the whole county recognized him as the backer of the Xiao Lei family, and he himself also had the intention of piloting Xiao Lei's family, so when the local gang wanted to give him some dismounts, it was really appropriate to find Xiao Lei's family, which was only a little seamed. has already tied him to the Xiao Lei family, no matter how he finds Lei Dongbao now, he will not escape the eyes of so many people in the local area. Cause trouble.

But is he just tied up? Of course not.

Two days later, he turned against the client, and gave an instruction to the rapidly established investigation team in public, to investigate to the end, never tolerate, and if there were major economic problems, they should be approved and arrested, so as to get to the root of the problem. Everyone was in an uproar, some were suspicious and some were disdainful, and there were different opinions below.
