Wine is food, and the more you drink, the younger you are.

But Shi Guozheng looked like he was twenty years old when he came home from the township health center, and he walked tremblingly, as if he was half-paralyzed.

His son Shi Dali went to the township winery once to make trouble, but was beaten out by the people in the winery.

Shi Guozheng's sphere of influence is only in Tuanjie Village, and he has no influence at all in the township.

Qu Wenfu didn't dare to come to see him these days, if Shi Guozheng saw him, he would definitely scold him for being a bloody dog!

According to Zhou Maocai's diagram, the entire roadway is 120 meters long, and the Dakegou Coal Mine has passed through this fault twice during the excavation, and the most difficult section is about 30 meters.

When the roadway is about 80 meters, the water inflow of the roadway becomes smaller, the pressure on the roof also decreases, and the speed of excavation begins to increase.

Zhou Maocai changed the scaffolding that was half a meter back to one meter.

A few days later, Zhou Mao returned to the office, and he showed Wang Weidong the contents of the helmet.

There was a handful of mud in the hard hat, which he had brought back from the excavation face.

"It used to be off-white, but now it's black." Wang Weidong said after looking at it carefully.

"It's almost close to the coal seam, three meters a day, and you can see coal in a week!" Zhou Maocai said.

On the same day, Wang Weidong called Ou Xiaoyang and asked him to come over in a week.

It is now the beginning of January of '86, and it seems that it is completely possible to end the incident in the Tuanjie Coal Mine and go home for the New Year.

Two days later, the gravel and mud pulled out of the pit turned even darker, and anyone with experience knew that it was not far from the coal seam.

Cao Baolu watched through the window in the cafeteria as two workers pushed a minecart full of gravel along the small track and said, "This time, let Wang Weidong bite the eggs - I took it!" The coal seam really let them find it. ”

"Do you want to go back and tell Shi Guozheng about this?" Cao Baolu's daughter-in-law asked.

"Needless to say?" Cao Baolu said lightly.

"Actually, Wang Weidong is very good-minded, good to the workers, good to us, the two of us are now making more money than when Shi Dali was the mine manager." Cao Baolu's daughter-in-law said.

"You old ladies just have long hair and short knowledge! The strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, who has the final say in the one acre and three points of land here, don't you know? The two of us are going to stay in Tuanjie Village for a long time, and the children in the family will also stay here, if you offend Shi Guozheng, will you still live? Cao Baolu said.

"This Wang Weidong also seems to have a background, if you offend him, you are not afraid of retaliation?" Cao Baolu's daughter-in-law asked.

"He came from Harbin City to take revenge on me in Tuanjie Village? Besides, why can't you offend the bad guys, because the bad guys will be ruthless in revenge! It doesn't matter if you offend good people, didn't you just say that Wang Weidong is so kind-hearted? offended a good person, and if he wants to take revenge, he can't do it. Cao Baolu replied.

In the evening, Cao Baolu and his daughter-in-law returned to the village and immediately came to Shi Guozheng's house. He told Shi Guozheng about the upcoming coal meeting.

"It's a good thing that I really found coal." Shi Guozheng said.

He didn't get angry, he didn't feel pity, and he didn't regret subcontracting the coal mine to Wang Weidong, Shi Guozheng felt that it was right to subcontract the coal mine to Wang Weidong!

What's wrong with Wang Weidong spending tens of thousands of dollars digging into the roadway to find coal for him? He got 70,000 yuan for nothing, and saved tens of thousands of yuan in excavation costs.

Now the question is how to get the mine back!

After sending Cao Baolu away, Shi Guozheng said to his daughter-in-law: "You go to the township immediately to get Dali back!" ”

"It's too late, it's so dark I'll go tomorrow morning." The daughter-in-law said.

"You are an old lady in your fifties, and you are not a big girl in your twenty-eights, what are you afraid of? Go now! Shi Guozheng said sharply.

More than an hour later, the daughter-in-law came back with her son Shi Dali.

"Dad, I've heard my mom say on the way, I've wanted to clean him up for a long time, just look at it, see how I clean him up!" Shi Dali said.

"You young people are frizzy in doing things, and I want to hand over this burden to you in the future, but how can I rest assured that you are the way you are now?" Shi Guozheng hated that iron could not become steel.

"What are you going to do?" Shi Guozheng asked.

"Find a couple of friends and beat him up and get him away! If you don't leave, you will be beaten, and he will be hit until he is covered with parts! Shi Dali replied.

"You simple-minded thing with developed limbs! Where do you hit him? Do you know that there are more than 30 people in the coal mine? People who always work in coal mines are rude, I have inquired, Wang Weidong is quite able to win people's hearts, those workers will receive ten yuan when they go up the mine, eat meat and drink wine every day, they can watch you beat people? You are playing their jobs, do you know? Shi Guozheng asked.

Seeing his son's dazed appearance, Shi Guozheng said: "Forget it, this matter still depends on me to plan, what I ask you to do, what do you do Do you hear?" ”

Wang Haifu and Wang Weidong's father-in-law, Lao Chen, are counted as one person, and they take turns to take turns to take over the shift with Lao Changtou and go down to the well to watch the substation room.

Lao Changtou receives dozens of yuan a month, and now eats three stews a day in the coal mine, sleeps in the mine, and wanders around after going up the mine, and lives a very comfortable life.

Ten years ago, Lao Chang repaired the agricultural machinery of various brigades in the small repair shop of the commune, paid monthly like a worker, maintained an unclear relationship with the women of the commune, and did not care about his daughter-in-law and children at all.

Later, his daughter-in-law was angry with him, and he often had to return to the village after the package was delivered, but his son used a hoe to plane the kang and drove him out of the house.

Thanks to this coal mine, otherwise the old man would have been homeless.

At noon, Lao Changtou arrived at the canteen half an hour early, life was boring, although he was old, his strength was insufficient, but he had more than enough, and he sat in the canteen and said a few words to Cao Baolu's daughter-in-law.

Seeing that Cao Baolu's daughter-in-law was washing vegetables, Lao Changtou said: "Your Baolu knew him twenty years ago, and he didn't work well. Now that the land has been contracted, how is your land, is it all grass and you can't see the crops? If you can't do it, you can tell me, I'll help Bao Lu shovel the ground! ”

Cao Baolu's daughter-in-law stood up and pointed to the old man's nose and said, "You old dead man is coaxing!" ”

Lao Changtou smiled, and his heart was very satisfied.

Cao Baolu's daughter-in-law lowered her arm and whispered, "Shi Guozheng asked me to tell you, let you go to his house tonight, be careful not to let others see it!" ”

"What is he looking for me for?" The old man asked.

"I don't know, it's all up to you whether you want to go or not, you can weigh it yourself." Cao Baolu's daughter-in-law replied.
