Chapter 204, make shell wind chimes

I stayed in the furniture factory for more than a month and made three sets of furniture. These three sets of furniture, one set of the previous boss to be picked up. The other set is sent to the store for display, and it is marked as not for sale. The last set was kept in the factory as a backup.

"Okay, that's it for now. Li Yuanshan stretched and said, "It's too time-consuming to make this thing." ”

"Hehe! In other words, if we don't look good, it will take at least half a year to make it. Yang Mingdong said with a smile, "This carving is too time-consuming, and there is more than a dozen layers of lacquer, but it can't be so uniform." "Some furniture doesn't need to be painted, it's just the primary color of the wood. However, there are some woods that are not good in color and do not look good without lacquer.

"You carving, it's a waste of materials. Li Yuanshan said, and then said, "You continue to guard, I'll go to the beach to get some seafood and come back." ”

"You rest, what's the use of buying fish. Yang Mingdong said.

"I'm not just going to buy, I'm probably going to go fishing. Li Yuanshan said, "This time I plan to get more, dry it and bring it back for everyone to taste." ”

"This is okay, take it back and give them a taste!" Yang Mingdong said happily, "As the old saying goes, 'dragon meat and sea cucumber', there is no dragon meat, but you can also have sea cucumbers, and abalone." "Now the price of seafood is not high, even the famous sea cucumbers and abalone are not expensive, they have already eaten them.

"It's just that it's not the best here. Li Yuanshan said, "The sea cucumber in the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea in the north is better than here, and the abalone is the same." The higher the latitude, the lower the sea temperature, the slower the growth and the better the quality. "He used to eat better sea cucumbers in the North Atlantic, better abalone in the North Pacific, and raised some in the space, but in the past few years, due to lack of management, only a few seedlings remained.

"Now it's still about quality, as long as there is it, it's good. Yang Minghong said, "As for the better ones, let's talk about them when we have a chance in the future." ”

It is said that although the price of abalone has increased now, it is still very cheap. You know, in the past few years, abalone was expensive abalone shells that could be used as handicrafts.

Li Yuanshan not only bought abalone and sea cucumbers, which can be made into dried seafood, but also picked up a lot of beautiful shells on the beach. It's everywhere by the sea, but it's rare inland. Take some shells back and make wind chimes for the kids, they'll love it.

There are four big bags of things, and it happens that the deputy county is high, and the chief has organized a group of people to come over, and Li Yuanshan can ask him for help.

"Those don't look like club members. Li Yuanshan went to help Deputy County Gao, Chief, looked at a few pale-faced people and said.

"A few of them are from the county seat, and since the wages here are high, they came along. Deputy Gao County, the chief said.

Li Yuanshan nodded, people go to high places, water flows to low places, since the salary is high here, of course they will come over. However, he still said: "They may not be able to do manual work, and it is too difficult to enter the factory now." I heard that it doesn't matter, even if you bribe people with money, you won't be recruited. ”

"Don't look at them in the city, they have cut the queue and done manual work. The deputy county magistrate said, "Even if you are worse than the members, you should be able to persevere." ”

"Now it's tiring to go to the construction site, if you wait for a few years to have more factories, then you can come to work in the factory, but it's much easier. Li Yuanshan said with a smile.

"That being said, but I have to eat in the past few years!" said the deputy county magistrate Gao, "Many people in the county want to come over, and now there are too many people in the county, whether it is a collective enterprise or a state-owned enterprise, and the wages of the workers are very low." This time it's just to test the waters, and if I can, I'll bring more next time. ”

"This moves redundant workers, and businesses in the county can breathe a sigh of relief. Gao deputy county, the mayor continued, "There are more people and less income, and now they are under too much pressure, and if they continue like this, these enterprises will not be able to continue." ”

"Everything is that there are too many people, and industrial development cannot keep up with population growth. Li Yuanshan said, "When I went to the mountains, I went to the countryside, I let go of the self-employed people, and now I come out to work." If there are few people, there is land in the countryside, there are classes in the city, there is material abundance, and life is happy, so how can there be any need to come out to work. When there are too many people, it is difficult to find a job. ”

"So now is the time to limit population growth. "Speaking of this, I admire your production team, which has done a good job in this regard, and has also affected the nearby villages." ”

"There's no way around it, there are too many people, and you can't support your own family if you farm. Li Yuanshan said.

But a lot of people just can't figure it out. "Gao deputy county, the magistrate said, "I don't understand what is going on with planned birth, so I am naturally afraid, hiding from planned birth, and there are still a lot of people who have planned to give birth, and it is very difficult to implement it." Li Yuanshan, who he said, had also heard that there were people in nearby villages who went out to hide from family planning. Of course, according to Li Yuanshan's understanding, it is because the children are all girls. In the countryside, the old concept naturally wants to have a son for the elderly. However, most of the people who avoid planning to give birth and educate are afraid to avoid because they do not understand, which means that the propaganda work is not in place.

"No matter how difficult it is, you have to do it, otherwise you will be poorer. However, it is also important to pay attention to the ways and means. Li Yuanshan said. Their county is located in a remote area in the west, with an area of less than 3,000 square kilometers, but it is surrounded by mountains, and the area of cultivated land is small. In the cities, they can only take advantage of the junction of the three provinces to engage in small business, develop small industries, or set up a pharmaceutical factory, but how many jobs can be solved? Therefore, policies and policies must be implemented. However, the quality of some executors is too poor, they do not publicize and reason, and they will only come hard, throw stones to hit houses, collect excess money and rob pigs, cattle and livestock, and these things happen from time to time.

The person arranged to go down, and the deputy county magistrate went to visit the last batch of workers and asked them if they had adapted to it after more than a month.

"What's this!" the man who was asked said with a smile, "I'm a little tired, but the money I earn from working for a month is worth working at home for three months." ”

"When you're out and about, you have to be united. If you are sick or something has changed, help each other. "Senior deputy county, the magistrate told again.

"If you are not familiar with life, how can you do it if you are not united. Another man said, "If we are not united, we will be easily bullied." ”

"It's okay to protect yourself, but you can't do anything illegal. The deputy county magistrate admonished, "If you are caught and imprisoned for breaking the law, what should the people in your family do? Think more about your wife and children at home, and don't be impulsive when you encounter trouble." ”

"'Don't do anything illegal, don't eat (poisonous) things,' we remember. ”

"Brother Li, what are you carrying? When I went to the station, Deputy Gao County, the chief saw Li Yuanshan moving things and asked.

"It's just something local. Li Yuanshan said with a smile, "Abalone and sea cucumbers, bring some back to the people in the village to taste, and the other two packets are shells." ”

Deputy Gao County, the chief shook his head and smiled: "These abalone are okay, after all, they are sea fish, and they taste very good, so it's good to bring them back to taste, but what are you doing with shells?"

"Take it back to the kids. For children, although abalone and sea cucumber are delicious, they will forget about it after a few days. But this shell is different, you can play it all the time. Li Yuanshan said with a smile.

"Really, I look like I'll have to bring some shells back next time I come over. Deputy Gao County, the chief said thoughtfully.

"Next time, I'll bring a lot, you just take a little. Li Yuanshan said.

"That's not going to work. Deputy Gao County, the chief shook his head and said, "I'll pick it up myself." What you pick up yourself is what you want. ”

It was August, and the children's learning place shifted from under the camphor tree to under the walnut tree. The camphor tree has a small shade area, and the tree is short, and the branches are very low. And the walnut tree is tall, and the branches are very open, so everyone does not have to huddle into a pile.

Li Yuanshan came to the bottom of the tree and showed the shells, and the children immediately cheered and coaxed, even happier than the last time they came back with a tape recorder.

Watching the children compete for shells, Li Yuanshan and Jiang Mingyue spoke.

"Grab it! Deliver it all, I will make you shell wind chimes, hang them under the eaves, and the wind will jingle when it blows, which is very good. When they finished robbing, Li Yuanshan smiled.

"Do you want to make wind chimes?"

"You don't know if you make it. Li Yuanshan said.

"I'm going to find the line. Yang Mingjin said that he was about to leave.

Li Yuanshan said with a smile: "I bought the thread, which is better than the thread used to make needlework at home." ”

I took out the thread I bought from my bag and asked, "Look, isn't it?"

"Really!" the children exclaimed happily when they saw the colorful threads.

Li Yuanshan took out the awl, sat down on the stone, took the shell and began to punch holes.

Soon hit more than a dozen, Li Yuanshan said: "Xiaoyu, you wear it, it looks similar to that of a bamboo tube, but a few shells are worn on each thread." ”

"Okay, the first shell is ready, get a pimple, and then wear the second one. Li Yuanshan pointed while punching holes, "The two shells should be separated, otherwise it won't look good, and we don't have so many shells." ”

"Sister Mingyue, you teach me to make a good-looking one, and take it to school at the beginning of school. "Yang Mingyu dressed the second one and let Jiang Mingyue teach her.

"Huh, yes, Xiaoyu is in high school this year, is it a middle school?" Li Yuanshan only remembered at this time. With Jiang Mingyue here, Fang Lan in the village was studying in No. 1 Middle School, so Li Yuanshan asked.

"Of course!" Yang Mingjin said.

"What about you? You should be going to high school next year, and with your grades, I'm afraid you can only go to high school in the countryside. Li Yuanshan said. In his impression, Yang Mingjin's grades were barely enough, and he couldn't pass the first middle school.

"The high school in the township was revoked. Jiang Mingyue said with a smile, "The students who haven't graduated have all transferred to the fourth middle school." ”

"Revocation?" Li Yuanshan asked in surprise, "How come?"

"There is not enough funding. Jiang Mingyue said.

Li Yuanshan nodded, there is no way if the economy is not good. It is precisely because of this that this year the commune was transformed into a township, and this is only a township, not a town.

Jiang Mingyue instructed Yang Mingyu to make a beautiful wind chime, and as soon as the wind jingled and made a crisp sound, the children surrounded her.
