Wang Manyin thought for a while and replied, "If Dongzi is willing, of course he can." If you don't want to learn how to fry melon seeds, you can also help deliver them. It's a relatively easy job, and I go to the county seat every three or two days. ”

"For a month, I will temporarily give Dongzi a salary of thirty yuan. In addition, I also pay for the round-trip fare...... When you don't want to do it, say it, you can resign at any time. How? ”

As early as before starting the speculation business, Wang Manyin had considered recruiting people. Especially now, as the stalls get bigger and bigger, this problem is becoming more and more urgent.

Every time he made a delivery to the county seat, it took a day to go back and forth.

Although the matter of fried melon seeds is temporarily taken over by Wang Qiusheng's father and son, he also needs to check it. There are not many condiments such as star anise and cinnamon, and you also need to take time to purchase.

After the next step is to expand the scale, it will also go to other counties and cities to develop the market. If he was alone, he wouldn't be able to keep himself busy even if he was divided into eight petals.

He came from later generations, and naturally understood that if he wanted to make his stall bigger, he must learn to use people, and he must let go when it is time to let go.

So I always want to find the right person to help with the delivery as soon as possible...... The situation in the county town is more complicated, and the people in the village may not be able to live in the past.

In fact, with Bai Mingchuan as the backing, Wang Manyin is not stunned when he really encounters problems, and many small things are not worth bothering others.

Guo Weidong in front of him is a very suitable candidate.

After graduating from junior high school, he has been living in his grandmother's house and is familiar with all aspects of the county. In addition, with the help of relatives and friends, you can solve general things by yourself, and you don't need Wang Manyin to come forward to find someone.

The most important point is that he also watched Guo Weidong grow up and knows him better.

Except for being a little lazy, there is no big problem.

"Yes, of course I do." Without waiting for his parents to speak, Guo Weidong had already nodded again and again.

To have a serious job, of course he doesn't want to eat idle meals.

During this time, I was annoyed to listen to my mother's nagging every day, so it was better to go to the county seat to hide quietly. What's more, the salary given by Brother Wang is not low.

However, Guo Chaowang frowned slightly and said, "Full silver, the salary is a bit high...... Or do you want to give it according to the apprenticeship first. ”

Although 40 percent of workers' wages have been raised by one level since last year, it is for the elderly. The monthly salary of an apprentice in the first year of work is still eighteen dollars and a half.

"Uncle Guo, you're talking about going to work in a factory. I asked Dongzi to go to the county seat to deliver goods, what is there to learn, as long as it is not a wrong account, of course, it must be according to the formal work...... If Dongzi continues to work for a long time, his salary will rise. ”

"Man Yin, it seems that you have really earned money, and you can't even speak." Guo Chaowang couldn't help but quip. When it came to this, he didn't object again.

"It's okay, it's better than opening a sales point." Wang Manyin responded a little helplessly.

During this time, there were rumors everywhere in the Shibijie Commune that he made a fortune by fried melon seeds. And the more it spreads, the more outrageous it becomes, saying everything.

Wang Manyin couldn't refute it.

He sent hundreds of catties of fried melon seeds to the county seat every three or five times, saying that no one would believe him if he didn't make money, so it was better to respond with half-truths and half-truths.

Not exactly lying. Dried peppercorns cost two yuan a pound, anise is more than two yuan a pound, and there are cumin, cinnamon, and licorice...... Just increase the ratio a little, and the cost will go up.

After the discussion, Wang Manyin said the purpose of coming tonight.

"Uncle Guo, I'm busy every day now, and I don't have time to manage the sales point, so I want to let it go to the rest of our village. In addition, my old father-in-law also wants to open a sales outlet in Shuangshui Village......"

"Okay, since you think it through, let them come to me tomorrow." Guo Chaowang agreed.

Even if there is no matter of his son, with the relationship between the two families, he will not refuse. What's more, Wang Manyin's old father-in-law is also involved...... The daughter-in-law is Tian Fujun's niece!

This land has belonged to a humane society since ancient times, and Guo Chaowang will inevitably have tacky ideas.

It was not early, Wang Manyin drank a cup of tea, got up and pushed the bicycle away.

After going out, it caused the local dogs along the street to bark wildly.

After crossing the Apricot Tree River, silence returned to the surroundings.

The evening breeze in the mountains.

Now that the moon has risen, even without a flashlight, you can barely see the road clearly, just ride slowly.

In the Dongla River, the croaking of frogs continues. On the big trees on the side of the road, the sound of yellow birds cooing sounded from time to time. Farther away, in the grass of the cliff ditch, there are still a few fireflies flying.

Riding in such a night, Wang Manyin's mood was also refreshing, and he couldn't help singing Xintianyou: "When it comes to a family, the family is famous, the family lives in the original West Thirty Lipu Village, and the four sisters have a third brother......

Anyway, there is no one in the wilderness, and it doesn't matter how ugly it is.

After living in this land for more than ten years, Wang Manyin really liked Xintianyou. If you don't shout a few times every once in a while, you always feel an itchy throat.

He was singing energetically, when suddenly several dark shadows appeared in front of him, and the flashlight shone through.

"Who, come down!"

"I'm X," Wang Manyin's face changed drastically, and his feet hurriedly touched the ground.

He had no idea that such a thing would happen near Jar Village.

If you know this, you should bring a self-defense weapon when you go out, even if you have a wooden stick in your hand.

In a hurry, Wang Manyin had already made up his mind: when the other party approached, he immediately threw away the bicycle and turned around and fled.

Bikes are a burden these days, and it's not good to ride too fast into a ditch. With his running speed, I believe that the other party will definitely not be able to stop him. When they rush into the darkness, they go straight into space.

Although Wang Manyin was fierce, he didn't want to be tough with others. Those who dare to block the road these years must have guys in their hands.

Just before he could make a move, a familiar voice came from the opposite side: "Are you Wang Manyin?" ”

As he spoke, the other party took off the flashlight.

"Officer Yang?" With the light, Wang Manyin finally recognized the leader. His nervousness relaxed: "What are you doing on this big night?" ”

The person who came was Yang Gaohu, who was in charge of public security in the Shibijie Commune, followed by a few companions.

"What about you, where did you come from?"

"I had something to do with Director Guo of the Supply and Marketing Cooperatives in the evening, and it has been delayed until now." I don't know what the other party is doing, Wang Manyin chose to tell the truth very wisely.

"That's fine, you go back quickly, we are preparing to go to the mountains to gamble." Yang Gaohu replied loudly. In the evening, they received a report that someone was gambling in a pit behind Shibijie Village.

Afraid of startling the snake, Yang Gaohu deliberately took people on a long detour. Just as he was about to quietly enter the mountain, he bumped into Wang Manyin.

He knew that there was nothing wrong with this person, so he didn't ask too much and just got out of the way.

Knowing that people were on a mission, Wang Manyin didn't dare to inquire blindly. After saying hello, he rode away on his bicycle, and even Xintianyou didn't dare to sing.

When I arrived at the entrance of the village, I saw a light in my cave from a distance.

Immediately, the rhubarb screamed.

"My dad, it must be my dad back!" Wang Xing's voice sounded.

Orchid hadn't slept yet, and was waiting for her husband to come back with her three children on the sidelines.

When you turn on a light at home and wait for someone to return, this is happiness. It is also the meaning of Wang Manyin's efforts.

just waited on the sidelines, and he couldn't help but say, "Didn't I tell you not to wait and go to bed early?" ”

Guo Weidong's matter was a temporary decision made by Wang Manyin, and when he went to bed at night, he specially told Orchid.

After being married for so many years, Wang Manyin always has to discuss big and small things in the family.

Of course, orchids generally don't raise any objections.

Early the next morning, Wang Manyin came to Wang Qiusheng's house and told the other party about the transfer of the consignment point.

"Manyin, our family has been invited by your great kindness." Xie Dongmei's face was full of gratitude, and then asked: "You say, do you want to invite Director Guo of the supply and marketing cooperatives to have a meal?" By the way, give some gifts. ”

Although the two of them are honest, they still understand the sophistication of the world.

"I definitely want to please, I'll arrange it, and by the way, I'll invite Brother Man Ho and Uncle Lian Shun together. Forget about the gift...... "Wang Manyin had already considered this matter.

I have been buying and selling fried melon seeds for more than a month, and there has been a lot of discussion in the village. Wang Manchu and the others have never looked for trouble, but they just don't give a few words of advice.

Just taking this opportunity, he intends to express it. In addition, his roots are in Jar Village, and it is still necessary to have a good relationship with the village cadres.

Wang Qiusheng hurriedly said: "Man Yin, my family should pay for this matter, how can I ask you to ask ......?"

The two sides excused themselves, and finally decided to arrange it by Wang Manyin.

He was going to invite someone to eat in the commune canteen in the evening, and by the way, he called Shao'an over to accompany him.

***

As expected, the news of the closure of Wang Manyin's consignment caused a great sensation in Jar Village.

What surprised them even more was that the benefits were given to Wang Qiusheng's family.

As for the new consignment of Sun Yuhou's family in Shuangshui Village, everyone thinks it is normal...... He was originally Wang Manyin's father-in-law.

The key is Wang Qiusheng's family, how can he de?!

Regarding the discussion of the people in the village, Wang Manyin didn't pay attention to it.

Hate others, laugh at others, it has always been like this.

Rural life is not all peaceful, and there are all kinds of contradictions and disputes in daily life. Because an egg was laid by someone's hen, the two mothers-in-law could sometimes quarrel there for a long time, and even finally pulled each other to kneel at the intersection and swear.

So if the family didn't say it to their faces, he didn't hear it, and he passed it in a daze.

Listen less to gossip and be less idle.

After taking Guo Weidong to the county seat to visit customers one by one, Wang Manyin officially handed over the task of delivery to the other party.

Then, he took a car to Huangyuan City to buy condiments, and took Tian Fujun's house to visit, which was regarded as reporting to the other party about his achievements in recent times.

After returning from Huangyuan City, Wang Manyin's life finally relaxed, and he could take Rhubarb out to have fun during the day.

Soon, the people in the village were alarmed by another big news: the commune was really going to carry out the package production to the households, and the deputy director of the village Liu Genmin was personally stationed in the team to guide the team.

According to Liu Genmin, the commune does not force the delivery of goods to households, and it is up to the people of the village to decide whether they can do it or not.

Although Wang Manyin said this as early as a few months ago, even so, it still caused a lot of discussion among everyone. The people regard food as their heaven, and they will of course pay attention to matters related to their vital interests.

There are expectations, there are doubts, and there are even more opposition......

Soon, Wang Lianshun convened a meeting of the members of the second team.

He is very disciplined in doing things, and he generally does not act arbitrarily when he encounters major events. Instead, we bring everyone together to discuss and finally try to come up with a unified idea.

Wang Lianshun can serve as the captain of the second team for more than ten years, which is also one of the reasons.

After the arrival of members from each family, he did not go around in circles, and directly stated the purpose of tonight's meeting: "You should have heard about it in the past few days, and the commune is going to carry out contract production to households...... It's a new thing, and I'm not sure, but I want to hear what everyone thinks. If we want to divide it, we will divide it into mutual aid groups like other production teams. If you don't want to divide it, you still work with the big collective...... If you think about it, raise your hand and count the number of people!! ”

Wang Manyin didn't look at others, and raised his hand directly.

In fact, the result doesn't matter to him, the late division of a year and a half doesn't have much impact, anyway, he is no longer ready to work in the production team.

If you continue to go to the big collective, it's a big deal to pay the money and pay for the work.

As Wang Manyin raised his hand, someone soon followed.

In just half a minute, a large arm was raised in the crowd.

This result not only surprised Wang Manyin, but also surprised Wang Lianshun.

He originally thought that most people would not agree to divide the land, but who knew that except for a few families with few laborers, the rest of the people raised their hands, even his eldest brother.

For a while, Wang Lianshun was very disappointed.

He couldn't understand how the hearts of the people could be scattered!

In fact, this is the simplest and most simple truth: no matter how well the big collective does it, it is someone else's, and only the harvest of one's own field is one's own.

The people's desire and demand for land has never disappeared.

No matter how well Wang Lianshun did it, he couldn't stop this appeal.

"Then divide it, everyone can discuss with each other in the next two days, how to set up a mutual aid group!" Wang Lianshun was silent for a while, suddenly took a few puffs of dry tobacco, and finally spoke.

After the meeting, he was in too much of a hurry when he got out of the barn, and he tripped over the threshold, and his figure didn't seem to be as tall as before.

Wang Manyin somewhat understands the other party's mood, but the general trend is not something that can be changed by one person at all. Listen to everyone's comments to know how much you are looking forward to it.

He didn't expect that he was so popular in the village.

On the way home, people kept coming to him to discuss and want to form a mutual support group with him.

Regarding the matter of the mutual aid group, Wang Manyin felt a little "take off his pants and fart, which is too much".

But after all, I have to divide the land, and I can do whatever I want in the future.

Orchid is equally happy to know the result at home.

The two of them lay on the kang and began to discuss what crops to plant after the land was divided. In addition, in a few days, Orchid will officially resign from the sewing department.

When the time comes, she will find two mothers-in-law from the village, and she will pick and choose sunflower seeds with her.

The two of them planned the future and didn't fall asleep until after eleven o'clock.

As a result, I was in a daze, and I heard the sound of dogs barking in the village.

Then, rhubarb also screamed.

When Wang Manyin got dressed, he heard Wang Fugui shouting outside: "Manyin, hurry up, Uncle Lian Shun is gone!?" ”

"What, what the hell is going on, when did you not see anyone?" Wang Manyin opened the door in a panic and asked.

When he walked to the edge of the field, he saw four or five people next to Wang Fugui, including Wang Lianshun's mother-in-law.

The other party was holding a tattered garment in his hand, obviously intending to make rhubarb smell it.

"I didn't see anyone home after the meeting, and I thought he went to the dinner room to chat with people, and I didn't feel at ease...... In the middle of the night, there was no one at the dinner. I didn't see the shopkeeper come home, so I went out to look for him. Let Rhubarb ask, see where it is! ”

As she spoke, Aunt Wang Lianshun handed over the torn clothes.
