Sixty years with spring

Chapter 138

Love of the Mountains (4)

On the morning of October 2, 2000, the sky was still cloudy, the windless drizzle no longer moistened everything, the thick fog covered the mountains, and everything was in a psychedelia. The mountainous areas in this area often get foggy in the morning, and that's because of the mountain reservoirs. It's the season of one autumn rain and one cooler, and one or two more autumn rains start to snow. Fortunately, although the northwest wind blew in the past two days, the wind was not strong and the temperature did not drop much, but it also made people feel particularly cold.

The southeast wind has started to blow slightly in the morning, and the locals know that the northwest wind blows almost every day in the evening and southeast in the morning, except in particularly bad weather.

A small, gray-white long-billed bird chirps and lands on a windowsill.

Although she was busy catching forest frogs until more than four o'clock last night and slept for just over two hours, she woke up early because Jin Xianglan was extremely excited. Kneeling on the bed in a set of white round-necked pajamas with small flowers, staring at the birds outside the window with wide eyes and surprise. It was unbelievable to her, she had never experienced such a closeness to nature.

As soon as Jin Xianglan moved, the friction between the iron bed welded by the angle steel and the floor tiles made a sharp sound, which woke Xie Ruifen up, and she and Jin Xianglan watched the birds together.

Xie Ruifen said mysteriously: "Let me tell you, this little bird used to come only occasionally, but then I put millet on the windowsill, and it came every day. When I'm not around, I let the old woman feed me, every day. Do you think it's good? If you look at it through the glass, it won't run, and as soon as you open the door, it will fly, and the things in the mountains have spirituality. ”

Jin Xianglan smiled sweetly and said intoxicatedly: "The mountains and rivers here are beautiful, isolated from the world, it is really a good place!" I like it very much, and I'll come back in the future, are you annoyed? ”

Xie Ruifen smiled and said, "It's too late to be happy, how can you be annoyed?" I've been here since I retired. We'll go put the chickens in a while, you can watch it for me for a while, I'll cook. ”

Xie Ruifen pointed to a tall tree at the foot of the mountain to the east and said, "If you see an eagle coming there, there must be another one on the mountain to the west." The east side can be seen by the sentry, but the west side of the forest cannot be seen, and it will be too late to see it. They always cooperate like this to steal chicks, and the day I came, it was fine. When I saw you, I even shouted and knocked on the pot again, and it was blown away, and it might be fine today. I heard from the local old farmer that these are bird eagles, and there are big ones who are not afraid of people, that is, the kind that 'cooing' on the mountain at night. ”

"They don't attack people, do they?" Jin Xianglan's eyes widened and said, "Why don't you go and put the chicken, I'll cook, and I'll make special pickles for you." ”

"Don't be afraid, it's okay, it won't come down if you stand in the yard, or I'll cook."

"Is this little bird a migratory bird? Why don't you fly away when it's so cold? ”

"It's a migratory bird, and if it doesn't come one day, it's going south."

"Why is it just one? And what about that? ”

"I don't know, it's always one, I guess it's like you, I didn't find a partner, or maybe I live alone and don't find a partner."

Xianglan smiled and said, "It's so interesting, but it's also so pitiful." ”

At this time, Brother Wang came to work and scared away the bird.

Xie Ruifen opened the door for Brother Wang, thinking about having a wedding dinner for her daughter today, and she was very concerned about the weather, so she asked: "It's so foggy today, it won't be cloudy and rainy, right?" ”

The eldest brother smiled and said, "No, it's ten fogs and nine sunny days, and it's a southeast wind, so today must be a good day." The night before yesterday, several workers went home to play drunk, and told Hongxuan not to invite everyone to drink in the future, and it would be no good to spend money without saying anything! I also drank too much and had a bad night! By the way, the workers are on vacation, you give me the salary, and I will go down the mountain to pay everyone. ”

The two sat down.

Xie Ruifen took out the prepared salary and said, "There is a problem with the salary you reported, and I deducted it for two days each." ”

The eldest brother said unhappily: "This doesn't make sense! Can I still eat inside and out? Why don't you always believe me? ”

Thank you Ruifen said: "I don't care about this!" If you let each worker collect it himself, I don't believe they are all full attendance. ”

"Okay, okay, you have the final say!"

"It's not okay for you to do Dachai, I don't know about the village at all, I will also deduct your salary, and if your salary is not enough, it will be deducted from Wang He's salary."

Brother Wang stood up "Teng", his face was full of iron, and he was about to have a seizure, when he remembered Che Hongxuan's words and slowly sat down and said, "Then why is it not easy for Hongxuan to speak?" Can he not agree with me? ”

"He said what's wrong? He said it wouldn't be good! What the hell do you want? ”

made the eldest brother have no temper at all.

Jin Xianglan next to her didn't expect Xie Ruifen to be so powerful.

Xie Ruifen threw the calculated list and cash to the eldest brother, and blasted the eldest brother out with a wave of his hand.

turned around and said angrily to Xianglan: "You don't know, these people will put their noses on their faces, and they dare to pull out wood in broad daylight, and they will sell them to you regardless of Guan Shan!" Hongxuan, he's too easy to talk, there's no way! ”

Jin Xianglan blinked and froze there, not saying anything.

"Let's go, let's go put the chicks."

After releasing the chickens and ducks, Xie Ruifen brought a pot of feed to the geese by the river.

Lao Zhou's wife ran over without sticking to her feet, and flew over before she could speak: "Accountant, you have to help me, my brother's family has a child who is going to your house to work, just came to me, you will take a look in a while, I know you are good at talking!" ”

"What kind of mess?" Xie Fenfang frowned and asked.

Lao Zhou's wife said hastily: "You don't know? The boss said that hundreds of people will be used next year! ”

"I don't know! I don't care, you don't have a long mouth yourself? Go pick up the eggs for me! ”

The old Zhou's wife touched her nose and ran to the chicken coop.

Che Hongxuan said that there were more than 10 million projects, and more than 100 people were required to work, and it spread in Sanli and Wu Villages within a day. The village secretary made a report to the mayor, who immediately ordered that the opportunity should be seized to meet all the demands of the employers, and that the matter should be taken as the focus of some families getting rid of poverty and becoming rich, and that it should also be reported to the county. This Qingshan town has always been a poverty-stricken area and a key target of poverty alleviation in the county, so the leaders have paid special attention to the economic development of this area.

Che Hongxuan has been tired for the past few days and has been sleeping until almost nine o'clock. He got dressed, looked out the window, saw the fog, and knew that his daughter and his party would be late.

It didn't take much effort, but many peasants came, and they walked in in groups.

The two dogs barked non-stop.

Xie Ruifen opened the door and went out, thinking that the eldest brother's salary had not been paid yet, and asked in a stiff tone, "Who are you looking for?" Can I help you? ”

When everyone saw the proprietress coming, they all smiled and came over and told her that she was looking for her

The boss signed up.

Xie Ruifen understood, no wonder she saw a lot of new faces, and besides, there were not so many workers in her own family.

Xie Ruifen was angry, turned her head into the house and asked, "Are you messing around with the registration?" Have you signed the project? How do you end up if something goes wrong? Don't make people laugh off their big teeth? I'm so! Let's deal with it! ”

He smiled and said, "If you don't do it now, these farmers won't be able to go out next year."

You know, the people who used to work for us were all southerners, and the wages were so high that they had to go on strike at every turn. Now the competition in engineering is too fierce, the price is getting lower and lower, if we do not build our own team we will not be able to survive, and if we do not prepare now, it will be too late in the future. I immediately renovated the façade of a friend's hotel in the ancient city, and I used these people to take the opportunity to train them. ”

Xie Ruifen frowned and said, "You have a fatal shortcoming, that is, you are not cautious enough and idealize everything. Don't think everything too well and too smoothly! Think for the worst! Actually, sometimes you unknowingly take the risk that no one dares to take! ”

"Say no more!" Che Hongxuan waved his hand impatiently and changed the topic and said, "How much money has been invested in the mountains so far?" I want to count. ”

Xie Ruifen replied simply: "You can calculate it according to one million." ”

"How much money do you have left on your account?"

"Less than 200,000, I brought up the rest."

"Where's the cash you have?"

"Remove the 500,000 yuan for the children to buy a house, and there are still 300,000 yuan for the current period."

"Doesn't it cost money to buy a house and have children?"

"That's a child's business, and I have to prepare for it. Can you make your child miserable after half your life in business? You're not afraid of other people's jokes, I'm still afraid! ”

"Have the workers been paid?"

"Yes. You said that you, Brother Wang, were pulling timber out in a car when you weren't there. What does the village want? Don't lie to me! I deducted his salary. And the record-keeping, who is everyone deceiving when they are full of work? Cheng Cun had several red and white ceremonies last month, I don't believe that no one asked for leave, and I also symbolized deductions. Also, the reimbursement slip you gave me to Liu Bin yesterday, I spent more than 100,000 yuan in four months, all of which were white slips, and there was no way to enter the account and list the cost. If you continue to manage like this, you will fall sooner or later! ”

"Liu Bin's contribution is the main one, and it can't be the same for him as it is for others."

"Love to do it or not, I don't care about his third uncle and second uncle, how old is he without your business?"

"Can't come nonsense!"

"I repeat, you are soft-hearted and cowardly, and you can't do much of it! I think you'll take care of the mountain, think about it yourself! ”

"Alright, don't talk about those useless ones! Hurry up and prepare your meal, they're almost there. Gu Mingyuan's money was returned, and he paid back 200,000 yuan. ”

"That's not much, how many years?"

After speaking, Xie Fenfang thought about it and felt that there was nothing to say, so she turned around and left with a huff.

Che Hongxuan also snorted angrily.

The fog slowly cleared, and the sun shone in through the mist. The air is fresh, cool and slippery in the mouth, which is the unique oxygen-rich air in the mountains.

Che Hongxuan chatted with everyone in the courtyard and told everyone to go to the village to register.

People left one after another, and finally there were two people left to come over and say to Che Hongxuan: "Manager, our brothers are old and young and can't go out, each of us has saved seven or eight thousand yuan for working here in the past two years, and I want to buy a flock of sheep together, and there is still a difference of two thousand yuan per person, I want to ask the manager to help with Kai'en, and when I comb cashmere in the spring of the next year, I can use the house and land as a mortgage." ”

Che Hongxuan thought for a while and said: "In this way, in the later stage, you will have to use labor to fight toads, you two will come to work, and I will tell Lao Wang to lend you money from selling toads." ”

The two thanked and left.

Wang He, who had been waiting in the north house for a long time, came out with a girl of medium stature, good facial features, and slightly darker complexion, Wang He introduced: "Uncle, her name is Sun Xiujuan, and she is twenty years old this year. ”

Che Hongxuan looked like a rural girl who did her duty, and said to her happily: "You are good, you will be happy in the future." ”

Sun Xiujuan screamed one by one, and seemed to be very sensible.

Yesterday, Che Hongxuan said to her father that her father felt that a car owned by the car boss was worth more than the entire Cheng Village, and Wang He was ingenious and could do things, so what was wrong? I went back and discussed with my wife and agreed to deal with it first. At this time, Wang He brought her here to meet Che Hongxuan and Xie Ruifen. The two met Che Hongxuan and went to see Xie Ruifen.

Xie Ruifen also thought it was good, and happily told them that it must be good.

The two of them followed Xie Ruifen together.

At ten o'clock, my daughter and a group of five people arrived and drove two cars.

Che Hongxuan, Xie Ruifen, Jin Xianglan, Wang He and his little girlfriend all came out, and Lao Zhou and his family also came out.

Jin Xianglan has seen Che Qian, she looked at Che Qian carefully, natural shawl hair, wearing a long-sleeved ruffle-colored T-shirt, tight jeans, brand-new white travel shoes, clear eyebrows, not fat or thin, looking like a cartoon person, very modern, I can't help but sigh in my heart: This is a trendy woman.

Che Qian introduces her to her boyfriend.

Xianglan shook hands enthusiastically, and saw that he was a big white man, wearing myopia glasses, and had a scholarly demeanor, and secretly admired in his heart: This is a natural pair.

Xie Ruifen introduced Chen Jun and his wife to Jin Xianglan, and Jin Xianglan saw that they were neatly dressed, approachable, and had the demeanor of an elder, and thought: It seems that they are not ordinary families.

The car brought a lot of things, including wine, meat, and dishes, and everyone was busy moving things.

Xie Ruifen was very happy to see her daughter, and asked this and that.

Chen Jun didn't go into the house, he wanted to go to the mountains to have a look, and told Che Hongxuan: "I must go back today, if it's convenient for you to take a few people out to play, take a look at the water cave, Guanmen Mountain, and then go to Tanggou to take a hot spring." Now it should be okay to go to Guanmen Mountain to see the maple leaves. Don't get too tired and rest for a few days. ”

Che Hongxuan smiled and said, "It's nothing, I'll accompany you up the mountain to have a look." ”

Che Hongxuan led a few people along the path, breathing fresh air, enjoying the beautiful scenery given by nature, and walking to the depths of the mountain.

Che Hongxuan introduced the situation in the mountains as he walked. There are significantly more forest frogs in the river, jumping into the water like dumplings.

"There will be so many forest frogs?" Chen Jun asked excitedly.

"Yes, we have taken a lot of measures, including artificial hatching and expanding the surface of the water for the winter, and of course moderate fishing is also important. These are all groping, and there will be some successful experiences in the future. Che Hongxuan said.

"If it succeeds, it must be promoted."

Che Qian and Chen Guoqiang walked to a small dam, and the two greeted everyone with a shout. When everyone went over, the pond was shallow, and a large number of forest frogs could be seen under the clear water, and everyone was very excited.

Che Hongxuan looked at the forest frog under the water with a smile in his heart.

"So much? Dad, you're rich! Che Qian took a branch and poked it into the water, trying to touch the forest frog.

"You don't know," Che Hongxuan told her, "it's not easy for every forest frog to come back here, there are thousands of dangers, they face danger to their lives every day, flying in the sky and running on the ground, they are their natural enemies, so we have to cherish them." ”

Che Hongxuan's words silenced everyone.

After walking for a while, Chen Jun was tired, found a stone to sit down, panting, and didn't want to go forward.

Che Hongxuan told him that if he wanted to finish this mountain, he would not be able to walk it in a few days, and then it would be called the deep mountain and old forest, and a king tree would have to be hugged by several people.

Chen Jun nodded.

After a while, everyone had to go back.

Dinner starts at eleven o'clock.

As soon as he picked up the wine glass, the broken Beijing jeep in the village drove up, and before Che Hongxuan could go out, Secretary Lang and Village Chief Wei opened the door with people and came in, and when they saw so many people eating, they felt embarrassed and retreated.

Che Hongxuan put down his wine glass and went out and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Secretary Lang said: "This is the deputy mayor, who has come to study the export of labor services with you, and the mayor will invite you to dinner in the evening." ”

The deputy mayor stepped forward to shake hands with Che Hongxuan, and said enthusiastically: "I have heard of you earlier, thank you for coming to invest in our poor ravine, the town government attaches great importance to the labor export you said, and is ready to set up a labor service company, and also hold classes and training in the town middle school, I hope you can send someone to give a lecture." ”

Che Hongxuan said seriously: "No problem, I will send someone to give a lecture, and I will also bring workers with good conditions to the construction site to study on the spot." ”

The deputy mayor said happily, "Okay, let's take the time to work on the details together." ”

Che Hongxuan nodded.

Secretary Lang smiled and said, "We won't bother you if you come to your distinguished guest." But since we have come here, we must do a little bit of the landlord's intentions, go in and toast, and if not, we will invite you in the evening. ”

Che Hongxuan knew that Chen Jun was unwilling to contact too many people, so he refused the request.

Mayor Fu said mysteriously: "I recognize it, that person (Chen Jun) has been on TV and is a big person." ”

Seeing such a lively scene, Lao Zhou said to Brother Wang: "This mountain has never been so lively since ancient times, it's amazing!" ”

After drinking, Chen Jun had to go back, and everyone dispersed.

Che Qian wanted to go to Guanmen Mountain with her parents to see the maple leaves, but her parents didn't go, so she had to go with Chen Guoqiang.

"It's so hilarious!" Jin Xianglan muttered while cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks.

"In the world, flowers are in pots!" Che Hongxuan didn't drink less, lay on the bed and prepared to sleep, and sighed when he heard Xianglan.

Che Hongxuan learned that his mother was fine, and he had been living in the mountains until the sixth, and he wanted to stay for a few days, but on the evening of the sixth, he received a call from Liu Bin, telling him that the trip to Hainan was not good. Lao Shi also called and told him that Wang Yutian was calling, all the decoration materials of the No. 10 Hotel were in place, and the installation workers were going to enter the site, so he was asked to go down the mountain immediately.

There was no way, Che Hongxuan pulled Xie Ruifen and Jin Xianglan back to the company early in the morning.
