Chapter 048 Eighty-two Years, Reunion
Oil mill, the old dry stick followed Wang Zhong to check the equipment inside and out, the oil press is fine, there is oil infiltration all the year round, basically there is nothing wrong, the key is in the water-powered stir-fry equipment, basically every year needs to be repaired and maintained.
Fortunately, after so many years, the old is no longer the little carpenter who can only play some tables and benches, and he has followed Wang Zhong for decades, and he has done many things big and small.
"Big worm, you said that the machine is really so powerful, it doesn't take any effort to squeeze out oil?" The old gan said curiously.
Wang Chongdao: "Ziping learned machinery in Beiping, I specially asked him, not only can you squeeze oil, but also the same peanuts and soybeans can squeeze more oil!" The silver-white old gan stick bent his waist, and the old face full of pleats was full of smiles: "Such a good thing, it must be very expensive, right?" ”
"It's not cheap!" Wang Chongdao: "But if our oil mill wants to expand its scale, it can't do without this thing." ”
"And this thing consumes electricity for a long time, squeeze oil once, and use enough electricity for our family for a month!"
"Shhh A gasping voice sounded: "This is too much electricity, isn't it?" Even if we can afford this thing, we may not be able to afford it! ”
"I can't afford it now, but it's hard to say in the future."
"In the future, things like waterwheels are estimated to be fewer and fewer, and if you still want to be a carpenter, this direction can be changed!"
"If you don't hit the water truck, then what?"
"Tables, chairs, benches, boxes, cabinets, and beds are closely related to life." The old ganbang, father and son, both looked at Wang Chong.
"Now, people are seeking food and clothing, but after satisfying food and clothing, everyone's life will get better and better, get richer, and the standard of living will improve, and the demand will come!"
"That's right!" Niu Jianshe clapped his hands and said happily: "Dad, what Uncle Worm said makes sense!" ”
"Hmm!" The old ganstick couldn't stop nodding. The old has passed the age of ear shun, whether it is body or energy, it is not as good as before, and in the future, his carpenter skills will definitely have to be inherited by his son.
With the significant increase in grain production made by the Maixiang brigade, which proved the feasibility of package production to households, in the face of Zhou Yihu's repeated applications, the province finally agreed to implement the policy of package production to households in the entire territory of Qingze County, and in the rest of the areas, try to implement the package production to the group.
With the successive establishment of several special economic zones along the coast and the gradual implementation of reform and opening up, the economy at the national level has begun to have a trend of revitalization, and a large-scale influx of Hong Kong businessmen into the interior to invest and build factories has not only stimulated the local economy, but also provided a large number of jobs, and solved the work problems of a large number of ordinary people in the coastal areas.
The state's policies have also become more and more open, and the free market, which had been closed down earlier, has been reactivated one after another, and although there is no substantive policy, it has also acquiesced in the phenomenon of peasants buying and selling agricultural and sideline products freely.
With the help of Zhou Yihu, Wang Chong first sent three young people in the village who were of the right age, and relatively intelligent, and had good hands-on and learning abilities to the agricultural technology station as temporary workers, and the agricultural machinery station was only responsible for providing these temporary workers with three meals a day, teaching them the use and maintenance of various agricultural machinery, but did not pay wages, and the wages of their apprenticeships were paid by the Maixiang brigade.
I heard that for this matter, Zhou Yihu traveled a lot and ran around, and he withstood a lot of pressure to open such a small opening.
Wang Zhong and Niu Daring Ma Renli were not idle in the Maixiang Brigade, Niu Daring and Lao Ganbang were in charge of the fish pond and oil mill, Yang Deng'er led Xiao Zhuan and a few women, and there were many people who were not full of food and had flexible brains and sharp mouths.
Originally, according to Wang Chong's intentions, he wanted Ma Renli and Yang Deng'er to go together, and Yang Deng'er promised to be good, but when he returned home and discussed with Ma Renli, he hit a nail.
"You're really not going?"
"If you don't go, you won't go!" Ma Renli was lying on the kang with his back to Yang Deng'er.
"If you don't go, you won't go! I'll go on my own! Yang Deng'er went out with something puffed out. It was useless to persuade Ma Renli last night, Yang Deng'er was too lazy to delay his efforts on Ma Renli anymore, so he simply went by himself.
When Yang Deng'er went out, Ma Renli sat up reluctantly, quietly opened the window, and peeked at Yang Deng'er slamming the door, then he hurriedly turned over and got off the kang, stepped on his shoes and quietly chased after him.
The eldest son is now working in the oil mill in the village, and the younger son was pulled away by Yang Deng'er, and now Ma Renli is the only one left in the family, but Ma Renli is used to being cautious and cautious, and he really doesn't dare to come forward again.
"You, you!" Wang Zhong looked at Ma Renli, who was dejected, and hated him a little.
"You know me!" Ma Renli came to say.
"Yes!" Wang nodded emphatically: "If you really follow your house lantern, then it won't be the Ma Renli I know." ”
"Your family has seen you and you have some ability, with him following your lights, there is nothing to worry about, it just so happens that you have a lot of things in the team recently, you stay in the team, and it is more useful." Under Wang Chong's command, the pig farms, fish ponds, and oil mills of the Maixiang Brigade were gradually expanding in an orderly manner.
Last year, the ten sows gave birth to dozens of piglets, and the family was divided one by one, seeing that they were getting older day by day, and the group of sows that Ma Renlian took care of were all fat and strong.
In order to ensure the health of the sows, Ma Renlian currently only breeds sows once a year. Ma Renli did the work of keeping notes, and the ledger was written one book after another, and Yang Deng'er and their business in the county was well organized, and Wang Chong and Niu boldly decided to reduce corn and increase the planting area of peanuts and soybeans, and officially began to implement this strategy in the summer of 80.
Everything is going on in an orderly manner. Time soon came to eighty-two years, in January, the year was approaching, and the three brothers and sisters of the Wang family graduated from school one after another.
Wang Ziyan was not in a hurry to go home, but waited in the provincial capital for Wang Ziping and Wang Zi'an, who came back by train from Beiping, and the three brothers and sisters returned home together.
On the day the three brothers and sisters arrived in the county, it was snowing heavily and there were few pedestrians on the street.
"It's the eldest brother and the second brother!" Ziyu's eyes were good, his eyes were sharp, and he was sitting on Wang Chong's shoulder, and when he saw his brothers and sisters getting off the train at a glance, he immediately waved and shouted excitedly.
"Big brother, second brother, sister! We're here! Sitting on Wang Chong's shoulder, Ziyu can be said to stand out from the crowd of people waiting for the bus, and it is difficult for people not to see it.
After a while, the three brothers and sisters followed the flow of people and walked to Wang Chong and them.
"Dad, mother!" Zijin is okay, it is in the provincial capital, it is close, it is a holiday, you can go home to see it after the holiday, eat a dumpling wrapped with ginger and red fruits, Wang Chong's fried noodles, Wang Ziping and Wang Zi'an brothers are far away in Beiping, all year round, and they can only go home during the New Year.
"It's good to be back, it's good to be back!" As soon as they met, except for Wang Chong, the whole family hugged together, especially Jiang Hongguo, who was crying and laughing, the tears couldn't stop pouring out, and he couldn't let go of the hands of his two sons.
"Okay, it's a cold day, don't pestle here, hurry home!" Looking at this scene, Rao is Wang Chong couldn't help but sigh, but the weather didn't allow it, especially Jiang Hongguo, who was old, although Wang Chong helped to recuperate, but aging was not something that human power could stop, and his body was a little worse than before.
Put all the luggage on the cart pulled by Wang Chong, Wang Chong pulled the cart in front, Jiang Hongguo and his son and daughter helped push it in the back, and rushed all the way home.
"This is a graduate, and you are both almost thirty years old, why don't you bring a girlfriend back?" As soon as Wang Chong came up, he directly dropped the bomb.
Wang Zian gloated and said: "Dad, you don't know yet, the object that the eldest brother talked about has been blown up!" Wang Zhong turned his head to look at Ziping, who was staring at his younger brother, and asked, "The girl refuses to come back to us with you?" Ziping's face was not very good-looking, but he still said: "Her family is from Beiping, and the work assigned by the school is also in Beiping!" ”
"Then why don't you stay in Beiping! The capital of a country, the best place, has stronger development prospects than ours. ”
"I want to come back!" Ziping's answer is still very simple.
"Er, what about you?" Wang Chong didn't mean to continue to ask, the topic changed, and he pulled to Zi'an: "Your eldest brother has at least talked about the object, what about you?" ”
"I have a partner too!" Wang Zi'an said with a smile: "But she is from the provincial capital, and she will not graduate until next year when she is in Beiping Normal School." ”
"Peiping Teacher?" Wang Chong was a little surprised: "You are from Shuimu University, how do you know other girls?" ”
"It's also fate, the year before last, when my eldest brother and I came back, I met her on the train, and then I met her again when I returned to Beiping, and when I arrived in Beiping, I went to their school to find her a few times, and I didn't get acquainted with it."
"You kid!" Wang Zhong laughed.
"Second brother, what's the name of the second sister-in-law?" Ziyu asked curiously.
"It's called Liu Qian!"
"Isn't it pretty?" This was asked by Zijin.
"That's a must, don't look at who your second brother is, can my vision be bad!"
"Look, I'll give you what I can!" This is still what Zijin said. Ziping silently helped push the cart next to him and didn't say anything.
"Second child, when will you call your partner to the house and let your father and mother meet!" Jiang Hongguo asked cautiously.
Zi'an is so smart, she can naturally hear her mother's voice: "Mother, don't worry, Liu Qian and I have put it away, this year's New Year, I will go to her house to visit first, meet her father, and when I see her father, I will take her back to our house, let you meet, if you all agree, then you and my father will go to the provincial capital again, and the two parents will meet and discuss me and Liu Qian." ”
"Really?" Jiang Hongguo immediately blossomed.
"Of course it's true!" Zi'an smiled and said, "Is your son the one who talks big!" ”
"Good, good!" The smile on Jiang Hongguo's face couldn't be stopped.
"Second brother, you are hiding it so strictly, it's been a few years, and you haven't leaked any wind at all!" Zijin said a little sourly.
When Ziping and Zi'an got off the train in the provincial capital, they still went to pick it up, but Zijin didn't know that he had an extra sister-in-law, so it was no wonder that he was a little complaining.
"Boss, this second child has a target, you have to hold on tightly!" After being happy, looking at the eldest son next to him, Jiang Hongguo couldn't help but say.
"Mother, how can you say that you can grasp it if you hurry up, it depends on fate."
"Okay, okay, look at fate, look at fate, go back and I'll call you Aunt Deng'er and Aunt Chunmei to introduce you to a few young and beautiful girls."
"Mother! Don't worry about it, my eldest brother is a college student at a prestigious university, and he will be assigned a job soon, so don't mess with the mandarin duck score. Zijin pulled Jiang Hongguo and said.
After talking and returning home, Jiang Hongguo and Wang Chong cooked by themselves, made dumplings, and the family had a beautiful meal.
Early the next morning, the brothers were pulled up from the bed by Wang Zhong at 5:40, practiced in the courtyard for a while, saw that the sky was bright, and pulled the brothers to a vacant lot outside the village.
"Daddy! You're in your fifties and almost sixty, and we're still in good health! The brothers glanced at each other and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.
"Don't say sixty, your father and I are a hundred years old, and it's still a matter of one hand to clean up your two rabbit cubs." Wang Chong put his hands behind his back and said arrogantly.
"It's a pity that our brothers have limited talents and can't inherit your ability!" Zi'an said with some regret, it was precisely because he went out to study in college for a few years and saw the world in Beiping City that Zi'an knew how powerful his father was.
"If you are greedy and chew more, in this life, it is enough to be able to do one thing well and learn a skill." Wang Chongdao.
"Then why are you so much yourself?"
"Isn't that impossible! When I was young, it was a warlord melee and a little devil invasion, so I didn't learn more skills, how could I survive, to put it mildly, it was still to survive. Wang Zhong said with deliberate emotion.
The brothers choked up when they heard this, not knowing how to answer.
"Tell me about the two of you, how is the work going?" Looking at the snowy scenery of the distant mountains, although his back was to the brothers, Wang Chong's voice was very clear in the ears of the two brothers.
"We both applied to come back, and the school said it was assigned to the province." Zi'an said: "But the specific notice hasn't come down yet." ”
"Actually, you don't have to go on a career path!" Wang Chongdao: "But it's better to stay in the system now, now all walks of life are in a state of waste waiting to be revived, and there is a shortage of highly educated talents to supplement you." ”
"I have no other requirements for you, if you really want to take the career of public service, remember five words: serve the people!"
"Hmm!" The brothers looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
"Let's go, go back to dinner, and I'll take you around later, and see the development of our brigade this year."
