Chapter Twenty-Six: Sympathy

Ask for favorites, recommendations, and comments.

Tian Sui and his wife rushed early in the morning to occupy the best prime location, and as soon as they started their fight, they were provoked by a Hui man who also sold cold powder.

It turned out that this stall used to be the place where this Hui man set up a stall, but the location of the bazaar stall is not fixed, and whoever comes early occupies a good position, which is the rule of the bazaar.

Che Guihua didn't want to cause trouble, and was about to move the place to make room, Tian Sui held down his wife and reasoned with this man.

This man has been setting up a stall in the Erdaoqiao Bazaar all the year round, and he is a local snake, and he puts his thumb and index finger in his mouth and whistles loudly.

After a while, three young men came and surrounded Tian Sui menacingly, watching the posture of the three strong men, Tian Sui protected his wife behind him, picked up a bench and prepared to defend himself.

At this moment, Jahi, who was selling cigarettes at the bazaar, stepped forward, stood in front of Tian Sui, clenched his hands into fists, and then pulled up the sleeve of his right arm, revealing tangled pimples on the flesh, on which the tattoo was two crossed axes.

Jia Xi said with a smile: "Brothers, give the younger brother a thin face." ”

When a few rough men saw Jahi's tattoo, they looked timid, turned their heads and left.

Tian Sui, who turned evil into good fortune, was so excited that he pulled Jia Xi to eat cold noodles and noodles and lungs, and Jia Xi, who hadn't eaten in the morning, was not polite, and asked Tian Sui, who was born in the past, which county he was from while eating.

Hearing Tian Sui say that he was from Guangren Township, Jia Xi opened his mouth and asked, "Guangren Township, do you know Tian Liu?" ”

"Brother Jia, do you know my cousin?" Tian Sui was ecstatic.

As soon as he heard that Tian Sui and Tian Liu were a family, Jia Xi told Tian Sui all the precautions for doing business in the Erdaoqiao Bazaar in the future.

Jia Xi, who is "content and happy", has his own life creed for many years in prison, and "that's it" is his mantra, which has a sense of breaking the jar and breaking it.

After he was released from prison, he basically didn't seek to be motivated, one day at a time, he had to get by, he didn't have any big ambitions, but his heart was full of love, and he was easy to satisfy, and he was a heartless person.

Listening to Jia Xi's introduction of selling cloth and snacks in the bazaar is the most profitable, but Jia Xi has a way to suffer from lack of funds, and can only sell some tassels to earn some living expenses, Tian Sui is tempted.

Tian Sui is rich and has no way, under his instigation, Jia Xi accepted Tian Sui's proposal, and the two hit it off and started a business together.

Tian Sui and his wife and Jia Xi rushed to the bazaar together, Che Guihua still sold her cold powder, noodles and lungs, and Jia Xi and Tian Sui sold some cloth, yellow sneakers, and snacks.

Jia Xi has acquaintances in the Yining Municipal Bureau of Commerce, and every time the stores in Yining City take inventory, they will process a batch of products at a low price, and with the help of acquaintances, Jia Xi and Tian Sui will collect all the orders and pull them to the bazaar for sale.

In the cold winter, the scope of business that can be done in the bazaar is small, and it is not easy to resell chickens and make a livestock trade, and it is really not easy to go south and create north.

Tian Sui and Jia Xi, who are willing to endure hardships, heard that ice mining is a cost-free business, and it is not bad to rely on coolies in exchange for money.

Due to the climatic characteristics of Xinjiang, the water of the Ili River has been repeatedly frozen for a long time after minus 20 or 30 degrees Celsius in the cold winter, and the natural ice of the Ili River is much cooler than the machine-made ice in the cold storage.

The Ili River has become the best-selling natural ice cube in the market due to its clean water, thick ice, crystal clear ice, high hardness and easy transportation.

In the hot summer, these natural ice cubes can be used as food preservatives such as vegetables, beef and mutton, fish and other food preservatives in farmers' markets, as well as refrigeration aids for cold drinks such as ice cream and shaved yogurt for ethnic minorities in Yining City.

With the increase of ice cellars, ice mining in winter has become a profession, and ice mining and storage have also become a unique and beautiful scenery in Yining City.

The average labor cost per piece of ice in the market is five dimes, as long as you are willing to endure hardships, work hard for 7 hours a day, earn 30 yuan, and earn about 1,000 yuan a month.

Tian Sui and Jia Xi came to the Ili River to dig the ice with a special curved iron fork and a sharp axe, and they first cleared the snow from the ice, cut it with a sharp saw, split it with an axe, and then scooped the ice from the river with a special iron fork, and then placed a piece of ice about 50 centimeters long, 35 centimeters wide, and nearly 30 centimeters thick like giant cubes of candy on the unexcavated riverbed.

After the busy morning, the two of them nibbled on some dry naan, ate some ready-made ice cubes, and continued to work, and at about four o'clock in the afternoon, the two strong guys put a 50-kilogram ice cube on the climbing plow.

When business is good, Uyghur businessmen come to the Ili River to buy dug ice.

When business was bad, Tian Sui and Jia Xi, one pulling in front and the other behind pushing the planks of the plough with an iron fork, walked towards the Uyghur merchant's house near the Ili River where he was storing ice.

This kind of work relies on physical strength, but also has to brave the cold, generally do not pay on credit, settle the bill on the spot, and there is no phenomenon of arrears of labor fees.

In the summer, after removing the costs, the depositors can earn about 3 yuan per 50 kilograms of ice, and the worst can earn two yuan and a half, and many Uyghurs do ice storage businessmen, and the ice cellar at home can store at least 4,000 ice cubes, and they can earn 10,000 yuan a year.

In the 80s, the 10,000-dollar households were extremely wealthy, and many Uyghur businessmen made their fortunes by storing ice.

For these ice miners and ice collectors living on the banks of the Ili River, some people once described them as winter collectors, and the money from storing ice is the first pot of gold mined in their business.

In a year's time, in the spring, summer and autumn to the bazaar, and in the winter to sell coolies to chisel ice, Tian Sui and Jia Xi made a lot of money.

Che Guihua's cold powder, noodles and lungs taste excellent, and there are many repeat customers, and the small life of the two is prosperous.

Under the influence of Tian Sui, Jia Xi is full of energy.

Just when his brother Jia Xi was busy doing business with Tian Sui and Tian Sui, Jia Xin, who was in his father Jia Ming's hometown of Zhejiang, took his one-year-old son Jia Xiangyang to set up a stall in Yiwu City, Zhejiang.

Son Jia Xiangyang's facial features are not at all like Jia Xin, he is alive and well with a small Tian Liu, and Jia Xin, who loves Tian Liu deeply, cries secretly in his arms around his lover in the dead of night.

The young and beautiful Jia Xin is alone with a one-year-old boy, and it is not easy to live.

Qi Hai, the owner of the adjacent stall, is a widowed man, thirty-three or four-year-old, of medium height, and average-looking, who has been silently helping Jia Xin.

Seeing that Jia Xin had a gentle personality and was a woman who lived a good life, Qi Hai began to pursue her, and when Jia Xin told Qi Hai truthfully, she had lost her fertility and could not harm him.

However, Qi Hai didn't care about Jia Xin, who was infertile, and still helped her, and in the long run, Jia Xin was moved by this honest man, and married Qi Hai with his 2-year-old son Jia Xiangyang.

Qi Hai knew that Jia Xin had grown up and lived in Xinjiang, and he told Jia Xin that after hearing that the Ili Khorgos port was reopened in 1983, he could make a lot of money doing small commodity business in this goods trading port open to the Soviet Union.

Jia Xin knew that the port of Khorgos was very close to her birthplace, Jia Xin, who was born in Xinjiang since she was a child, lived in a multi-ethnic county, and she knew that the Mongolian language of Khorgos is a place with a lot of cow and sheep dung, which means that the water and grass are abundant and suitable for grazing, and its Kazakh language is a brave and free migration of people galloping in the grassland.

With the Central Plains entering the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the rulers of the Tang Dynasty took the opportunity to break the Turks to reopen the trade route of the "Silk Road" in the northwest, unified the countries of the Western Regions again in one fell swoop, and set up the Beiting Protectorate and the four towns of Anxi, newly repaired the Yumen Pass, reopened the passes along the way, opened up the Silk Road branch line at the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, and opened the western route to Central Asia, so that the Silk Road ushered in prosperity again.

With its convenient transportation and abundant aquatic and grass resources, Khorgos has become an important post station on the north road in the middle section of the Silk Road.

Seeing Jia Xin's hesitation, Qi Hai, who was ten years older than her, did not mention the topic of the development of the Khorgos port again.

Qi Hai knows that his wife Jia Xin is a person with a story, and his stepson Jia Xiangyang is a child born to Jia Xin out of wedlock.

During Jia Xin's contact with Qi Hai, she found that her husband Qi Hai was born a businessman and had an extraordinary sense of smell for business.

Jia Xin thought twice and agreed to bring some small goods to Xinjiang with her husband Qi Hai, intending to explore the way at the Khorgos port first.

They did not stop along the way, and went straight to the Khorgos port for business after countless cars.

At this time, there were not many people doing foreign trade business at the port, most of them were Xinjiang locals, and there were few mainland businessmen.

At first, local businessmen saw Qi Hai's mainland accent and came to find fault.

Jia Xin conversed with these provocative local businessmen in Yining's unique tone, and at the same time negotiated business with Soviet businessmen in fluent Kazakh, and the local businessmen accepted their son-in-law Qi Hai from Xinjiang.

Qi Hai estimated that he could make a lot of money at the Khorgos port, but he didn't expect to make huge profits, so the two discussed, bought a large number of Russian nesting dolls, lighters, razors and other goods at the port, and returned to Zhejiang non-stop, and after getting rid of it, he bought a car of small commodities at a low price with all the funds and came to the port.

Jia Xin stayed at the port to guard the stall and do business with Soviet merchants, and Qi Hai went back and forth to resell goods back and forth between Zhejiang and Khorgos ports.

Jia Xin, who is doing business at the port, is busy doing business and has not been in contact with his brother Jia Xi and younger brother Jia Qiang.

Jia Xin knows that Tian Liu, who is both righteous and evil, is a man who talks about righteousness.

She believes that the honest Tian Liu will help her take care of her younger brother Jia Qiang.

Although Mu Huan has a cold temperament, she is kind at heart, after accepting Tian Liu wholeheartedly, she loves the house and Wu, and takes special care of Jia Qiang who lives in the school.

Jia Qiang slowly dispelled his vigilance from the initial resistance to Mu Huan, and called Mu Huan "sister-in-law long, sister-in-law short" all day long.

In Jia Qiang's heart, Tian Liu is more like his own brother, even if Jia Xi often comes to school to stuff him with living expenses, or invites him out to eat in the cafeteria, he is still lukewarm to his brother.

Jia Xi knew that this was his younger brother complaining about him in his heart, and after he was angry and crippled and imprisoned, he brought fatal injuries to his sister Jia Xin, so that Tian Liu could not become the brother-in-law he was thinking about in his heart.

15-year-old Jia Qiang was under the care of Tian Liu, Mu Huan and his wife and raised by his brother Jia Xi, and successfully spent three years of junior high school life.

This summer, Jia Qiang was faced with the choice of taking the technical secondary school exam, the technical school exam or going to high school.

Mu Huan, who was pregnant, suggested that he take the technical secondary school preliminary examination according to Jia Qiang's academic performance, but Jia Qiang secretly took the technical school exam without Tian Liu, and he was admitted to the electrician class of Yili Technical School with excellent results.

Tian Miao and Li Zi, a husband and wife who work in Urumqi City, in addition to doing their own work, their small home has become a harbor for Tian Miao's younger brothers.

When the second brother Tianzhuang was studying at Xinjiang University of Finance and Economics, he ate and lived at his house on weekends, and even the living expenses of the Tianzhuang were borne by Tian Miao and his wife.

Immediately afterwards, the third brother Tian Xin was also admitted to Xinjiang Normal University, and he still lives in his brother Tian Miao's house.

During the period when Tian Miao went to the countryside to serve as the deputy head of the township, he still did not throw away the major of the agricultural university, and he has been studying seeds with his mentor.

The corn seeds planted by the common people of Guangren Township have been the No. 70-4 seeds of Yugoslavia for many years, and this variety has long cobs and large sizes, but the middle bract core is also very thick.

The Institute of Agricultural Sciences has developed a new variety, Xinyuyu No. 1 variety, which produces corn cobs that are slightly shorter than Yugoslav No. 70-4, but the middle bract core is thinner.

Tian Miao asked his younger brother Tianzhuang and Tian Xin, who were on winter vacation, to bring the new Yuyu No. 1 variety back to Guangren Township, planning to try to plant Xinjiang varieties in their own ration fields.

This time, Tian Kunhe fully supported his son's work and planted more than 50 acres of land with Xinyuyu No. 1 variety corn.

In the late autumn harvest season, looking at the heavy corn cob, Tian Kunhe smiled from ear to ear.

In previous years, Tian Kunhe planted corn seeds from Yugoslavia was about 500 kilograms per mu, but this year it is as high as 600 kilograms, and the income per mu is dozens of kilograms.

The new Yuyu No. 1 variety corn was successfully planted in Guangren Township, which completely subverted the outdated concept of the people of all ethnic groups in Guangren.

The level of seed research of the Xinjiang Institute of Agricultural Sciences is no less than that of Yugoslavia, and then the wheat and corn seeds of Yugoslavia are gradually replaced by the seeds developed by the Xinjiang people themselves.

Tian Liu, who lives and works in Yining City, his marriage and career are like sesame seeds blooming, he is already the chief clerk of the unit, and he is about to take over the position of Director Han.

As the key training object of the unit, Tian Liu will be trained in the factory enterprise for one year.

This time, the higher authorities arranged him to work in the city cement factory, and he was the executive deputy director in charge of finance and discipline.

The high-spirited Tian Liu sat in the jeep of the superior department, and under the leadership of the leader, came to the No. 1 Cement Plant to start a one-year grassroots exercise.

In the conference room of the University, there are two countertops that resemble student desks on the podium.

Director Darwati and the superior leaders sat in front and introduced Tian Liu to everyone according to the meeting procedures.

Tian Liu, who was sitting on the left hand of the leader, looked at the crowd pressed by the black, and thought to himself, so many workers were enough to keep him busy for a while, and he didn't notice the appearance of the crowd below.

While Tian Liu was sitting in the conference room and thinking, the first row by the window was full of the deputy leaders of the cement factory.

Among these few deputy positions, a fat bald man in his fifties looked at Tian Liu's heart on the table, and his eyes showed a deep hatred.

After Tian Liu and Darvati sent off the superior leaders, everyone walked into the small conference room, and Darvati introduced the deputy leaders to Tian Liu one by one.
