Under the moonlight of the summer night, the general situation can be faintly seen in the courtyard of Zhangjia Village from far or near, with bluestone walls, but more bamboo fences.

Under such conditions, the production team of Zhangjia Village is already enviable in the vicinity, and families with children also like to be close to their village.

But Zhang Guoqing can't forget the eyes of most of the children in the village who are naked and barefoot, looking at his son's little sandals with envy.

Poor, too poor!

In addition to the snowy days, the villagers are eager to keep the children bare-bottomed all year round. Can parents bear to let their children be unclothed? They are all poor.

If each family had an extra income, it might change the fate of the whole village. When you are well fed and warmly dressed, you naturally want the children to be blind.

Only when the next generation walks out of Zhangjia Village and sets foot on the campus to enrich themselves can we change the fate of Zhangjia Village for generations of hunting and farming.

"Third grandfather, have you been asleep?"

Standing at the door of the old captain's house, Zhang Guoqing patted the door and greeted him loudly, startling the crazy barking of the dog at the Orion family next door.

If this was in previous years, it wouldn't be long before the sound of dogs barking in the whole village disappeared. That is, there has been a shortage of food in the past few years, and even I can't afford to raise a dog. This dog saved the life of the old hunter back then, and was desperately left behind by Nian'en's family.

"Wait, I'll open the door."

After a while, the old captain dragged his shoes out of the courtyard and opened the gate, revealing his tired and vicissitudes of life.

"Third grandfather, did you wake up by me?"

The old captain looked behind him, saw that he was alone, and shook his head, "Not yet, I'm thinking about the work of the team." Something to come in and say. ”

Zhang Guoqing followed him into the east house, passing by the outer room, the third grandmother and her eldest daughter-in-law were still mending their clothes, and they were indeed not asleep yet, so they breathed a sigh of relief.

"You pour your own water. Tell me, what made you run over in the middle of the night? ”

The time was not early, and Zhang Guoqing didn't say a few words of greeting, and said straight to the point about his idea of running a food factory in the village. Whether this method can be formed or not depends on the well-informed old man in front of him.

The old captain smiled as he listened, "I do have this idea. Seeing that the hunting road is broken, our village will not be able to survive without enough food and starvation to death just by relying on the harvest in the field. ”

Zhang Guoqing nodded.

"At the last meeting, I mentioned this to the township. Their meaning can be approved, but everything has to rely on our own Zhangluo, and we have to pay a lot to the township every year. I kept this in my heart and didn't tell anyone about it.

It's not easy to calculate. To open a factory, the glass bottles and labor costs have to be spent a lot first, and they have to be handed over to the township for a part of the profits. After such a toss, it is not much different from selling it to the acquisition station by ourselves. ”

Zhang Guoqing heard the meaning of his words, but after all, he still didn't want to be cheap in the township. Also, I'm afraid to pay the public grain. Who knows if the profits handed over will get older?

The old captain looked at Zhang Guoqing, who was bowing his head and contemplating, smiled, his eyes flashed, and then said: "In fact, the best way is not to engage in any factory, every year in the ancestral hall, we process it ourselves in the ancestral hall, according to the work score, and then use the name of the production team to sell the goods and divide the money, no one can take advantage of the village." ”

"It's not bad for you to be old." How could Zhang Guoqing not understand what the old captain meant. It is a purely private workshop, with no prospects, and is suitable for today's conservative villagers.

"It's hard. Don't you know, if there is no support from the township, with the proof of the production team, those factories that produce glass bottles will not look down on our team. There is also the most critical place, no township has come forward, and no technician is willing to come to our team for guidance. ”

Zhang Guoqing laughed. Does this count as self-defeating? Maybe I didn't come to the door tonight, and the other party had to talk to me for two days.

The old captain also let out a hearty laugh. He said that this kid was very good. But apart from this kid, there is really no one in the village who can eat it.

"How? Help the third grandfather find a relationship? ”

Since Zhang Guoqing came over, he didn't think about refusing: "Okay." I'll go out into town tomorrow morning to find someone. The glass bottle is not a big problem, and one of my classmates is an accountant in it, so he can give some face. However, that technician, third grandfather, do you think it's better to find a retired old man from a food factory? ”

The old captain was overjoyed when he heard this, and patted the kang table, "You can do whatever you say." ”

"I don't really know this technician. Looking for a relationship introduction, in case people can't wipe their faces, but they don't want to be happy, it's not interesting. ”

The old captain bowed slightly, waiting for the following. For this kid to say this, there must be some suitable candidate.

"This is definitely better than me to find my dad! My dad has an old guy with the surname Mo. This old man is the master who retired from the provincial food factory. He has nothing to do in the county all day long, let's let him play his spare heat, let him come over to play, he will be happy. ”

The old captain smiled and pointed at him, "You bad boy! ”

Zhang Guoqing smiled, "Old man Mo is a good person. His sons and daughters are all in the provincial capital, and the youngest son is in the county seat, and he is tired of staying in the city.

My dad also has a few old guys who have a very good relationship, and I just have time to let those old men and old ladies come over to guide a few tricks. You discuss this with my father, he can't wait to be busy. ”

The old captain quipped: "Aren't you afraid that your father will know to smoke you?" ”

"My dad can't be idle." Zhang Guoqing knows more than anyone else's feelings for the people of Zhangjia Village. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been busy with the farm and would have come back to help.

Sometimes it's either money or leisure that is happiness. can make Dad Zhang feel that he still has the ability to do something for the people in the village, and it is estimated that he will be happier.

And with these old men and women, their parents will not feel lonely in their old age. If I go to the city to visit these families again, they should give themselves some face.

"Your father's man has always been warm-hearted and kind."

Zhang Guoqing saw that after talking about things, he stood up and said goodbye: "Third grandfather, then I will talk about the glass bottle tomorrow, and I will talk about the rest of the things then, you should rest first." ”

"Okay, there's no rush in this matter, you can take care of your own affairs first."

Zhang Guoqing declined his old man's send-off. When I went home, I passed by the old courtyard, and after hesitating, I thought about it and didn't go in to wake up his father. It won't be long before the farming is busy, and the harvest in the fields is the most important thing, and everything has to be postponed. There is no need to be in a hurry to contact Old Man Mo.

After returning home, Zhou Jiao still turned on the lights and waited for him to come back.

Zhang Guoqing told her in detail about the conversation with the old captain tonight, and the couple agreed on their respective opinions and put them down after discussing a few words. Since the old captain has a plan, it is very good. The couple can provide convenience, and they will definitely not sit idly by.
