Chapter 4: Gathering the Power of the Crowd
When the early morning sun shone all over the land, a semi-trailer full of calves stopped at the entrance of Weijia Village in the sound of a long whistle.
Between the two mountains, a six-meter-wide cement road is barely opened, and the mountain bags stretching in the distance are like steamed buns, as far as the eye can see.
Wei Chengmo jumped out of the car and looked at the pine tree on the side of the road, where the village chief was standing with nearly thirty middle-aged men from the village.
Wei Chengmo smiled and walked over, "Uncle Seven, thank you for your hard work." ”
The village chief had a strong anger on his face, "Hmph, you kid disturbed me before dawn, and I should speak up early if there is something in the future." ”
"Yes, yes, next time I must ventilate early." Wei Chengmo bowed and passed the village chief's pass, and went to greet the others.
Seeing that the fifth uncle Wei Zhankui and the honest old Uncle Liu were also in the crowd, Wei Chengmo walked over and said to Wei Zhankui, "Fifth uncle, old Uncle Liu, from today onwards, you two will take care of the matter of feeding the cattle, and you can take care of each other if there is an emergency at home."
As mentioned earlier, 100 yuan a day of work, and then pay a monthly salary, 3,000 yuan a month. ”
Wei Zhankui looked at his cousin who was a little tired in front of him, he didn't expect that he would have a day to work for his nephew, and he couldn't help but sigh a little in his heart.
"Okay, anyway, I can't collect a few dollars in the field in a year, so let's work in the cattle farm from now on.
I didn't expect you to get 50 calves, a lot of them, your old Uncle Liu worked in other people's cattle farms when he was young, he is familiar with how to feed the cattle, and we have prepared forage for the past two days.
The straw cutter was dragged by me from home, and the crusher was from your old Uncle Liu's family, so I used it first, but your corn stalks are too small, and it won't take a few days with alfalfa, so you have to buy the straw quickly. ”
"Cheng, fifth uncle, I'll buy the grass cutter and the crusher, anyway, you don't raise livestock now.
I will start to collect straw today, two cents a kilogram, you and Uncle Liu are worried about the feed shed, if there are people in the village to send forage over, you need to weigh it and make a record of the quantity. ”
Wei Zhankui seemed very happy to have a stable job, and his black face was wrinkled, "Haha, it's okay, I'll worry about it." ”
Uncle Liu didn't talk much, and smiled innocently, "Cheng Mo, let's go watch the unloading car, your mother is here with food, you hurry up and greet the driver." ”
Wei Chengmo smiled and nodded with Uncle Liu, and when he turned his head, he saw that the car was reversed to a high platform by the village chief's commander, and the calf was driven out of the car one by one.
Don't worry about unloading the car, Wei Chengmo walked towards his mother, Wang Xiuyi was holding a plastic bag, which was a disposable lunch box found out of nowhere, and he was pulling his sister Wei Xiaoxiao and looking at the car.
Seeing his brother coming, Wei Xiaoxiao immediately broke away from her mother's hand and pounced on her brother, Wei Chengmo bent down and let his sister hang around his neck.
There was a little girl's giggling voice in her ears, "Brother, there are so many cow babies!" My mother and I counted twice, I said 51 heads, my mother said it was 50 heads, you can tell me who counted correctly? It must be my mother's eyes, right? Isn't it bad to have an extra cow? ”
Wei Chengmo was amused, "Hehe, of course it's good to have more, my family Xiaoxiao is short and can't see clearly, when you get to the bullpen, you can count it, maybe there will be two more, now you can help my brother buy a cigarette." ”
took out 100 yuan from his pocket and handed it to his sister, "Yuan a box of camels, buy two." ”
Wei Xiaoxiao grabbed the money, pouted and said, "The rest of the money is mine." ”
When Wei Chengmo heard this, he took out two yuan from his pocket and handed it over, "Okay, the rest is yours." ”
Wang Xiuhe had more smiles on his face than ever in the past two days, and quietly watched his daughter pull a few little girls away with a cigarette, and then handed a food bag to his son.
"Steamed buns, stir-fried vegetables, you hurry up and send them to the driver, don't make the family hungry, you will go home and eat in a while."
Grinning at his mother, Wei Chengmo took the food bag and sent it to the driver.
Wang Xiuhe looked at a cart full of calves, which was worth far more than the 50,000 yuan loan in his son's hand, but he had already said that he would let his son toss, Wang Xiuhe endured his curiosity, didn't ask any more questions, and turned around to go home to prepare food for his son.
Wang Dapeng and Zhang Erliu gulped down the food, and praised the food for being delicious, and the two of them were indeed a little hungry, after all, they drove all night.
Zhang Erliu took a bite of the steamed bun, "Brother Chengmo, the phone number is also left to you, if you live in the future, you must remember to leave some for us, our brother will definitely do a beautiful job." ”
Wei Chengmo looked at the semi-trailer that was about to unload the calf, "It's not easy to raise such a big car, if I really have a life in the future, I will definitely call you......"
It didn't take long for the sun to rise a foot high, and the semi-trailer honked the trombone, rolled up a long line of dust, and disappeared along the mountain road.
The village chief stood in Wei Cheng
