Suddenly, the door creaked open, and a tall figure appeared at the door with a sack on his back: "Dad, mother, I'm back!"

Liang Laohan's hand trembled, and he almost threw the clay bowl on the ground: "Son, why did you come back? Three months ago, didn't you go to Hangzhou to work without the consent of the master's family?

Liang Desheng, the son of Liang Laohan, strode into the house and stuffed the sack on his shoulder to his mother: "Mother, this is the flour I brought from the city, the best fine white noodles, you can make a cake." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Dad, I'm doing well in Hangzhou, now Hangzhou is building big factories everywhere, there is a shortage of people, those factory owners are personally guarding the docks and stations, and when they see migrant workers like us, they drag them to their own factories. As long as you are down-to-earth and capable, you don't have to worry about finding a job! I used to learn some words in a literacy class, and I could memorize multiplication formulas, but as soon as I arrived in Hangzhou, I was taken by the boss of a bicycle factory, and my monthly salary was 15 yuan! The boss said that when I finished night school, I would pass the professional grade exam, and my salary would be increased. If I can bring an apprentice, you can also give me dividends!"

Liang Laohan listened stupidly, when his son ignored his own persuasion, he went to Hangzhou to work, he was actually against it in his heart, the Zhuang family is the life of digging soil in the soil for a lifetime, what kind of factory does not produce food, if everyone goes to be a worker, there is no farming, what do the big guys eat?

It's just that Liang Laohan has been honest all his life, or he wouldn't have a nickname of Liang Laoshi, his son has to go when he loses his temper, and he can't stop him, so he has to let him go, before leaving, he also stuffed a few RMB coins left in the family to him, the poor family is rich, and he can't be wronged by his son when he goes out.

But I didn't expect that my son went for three months, and he brought back this great news -- a month's salary of 15 yuan! In the past, Liang Laohan's family worked hard in the fields for a year, and only dozens of copper plates were dropped.

At this time, the wife has hurriedly opened the noodle pocket, and gave the father and son and the mother and the dough pancakes, the noodles are really whiter than snow, and the wife's thick hands are reluctant to knead the dough, just looking at this noodles, it is gratifying, or Liang Desheng simply, took out a few eggs from the chicken coop, beat them in the flour, and said that this is a new way to eat in the city, egg pancakes, "eggs have protein and nutrition." ”

Liang Laohan was heartbroken when he saw it, and muttered in his mouth: "This egg has to be exchanged for oil and briquettes, you kid, you ran to the city, you didn't make a lot of money, but you learned to be extravagant." ”

Liang Desheng said with a smile: "What is a few eggs worth? In the school in the development zone, the student babies eat a glass of milk with eggs every day, and they are about to vomit. Alas, who made our Fujian not a development zone? If we can be brought under the rule of Mr. Houlong, we will also be able to live a good life. ”

Liang Laohan was taken aback, and hurriedly lowered his voice and said: "You kid, what are you talking nonsense! This big Li Dynasty is surnamed Li, but not Guo, Mr. Houlong is only a national teacher, and the development zone is not his private family. ”

Liang Desheng shrugged his shoulders like a city person: "I'm not alone in saying this, anyone who is still under the rule of the Great Li Dynasty can't become a development zone personally managed by Mr. Houlong." Gotta get it, I know you're cowardly, don't mention it, Dad, come and try this egg pancake. ”

Egg pancakes, fragrant, really fragrant, Liang Laohan ate a mouthful full of oil, he was gobbling up, suddenly with tears in the corners of his eyes, choked up: "Son, you are living a good life, it's a pity that your sister - the catastrophe of that year, if it weren't for the fact that the family couldn't survive, I wouldn't sell her to the master's family, pity her at a young age, only stayed in the master's house for less than two months, and she contracted the epidemic." ”

Liang Desheng's face turned a little blue, his hands were clenched into fists, and he said sullenly: "Life and death are fate, my sister is really unlucky." In fact, our family has today, and it is all thanks to Mr. Houlong. Don't say that I went to work in a big factory in Hangzhou, even at home, my father planted beans, sweet potatoes, corn, plus newly planted fruit trees on the slopes of a few acres in the back mountain, what bayberry, peach, lychee, these outputs are enough for our family to chew. ”

Liang Laohan nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, I like to listen to Mr. Houlong's most glorious sentence that labor is the most glorious, our ancestors have been Zhuanghu for generations, and we don't seek to be rich and expensive, so we can dig food from the field with a lot of strength, and eat this labor rice, and we don't feel sorry." ”

Liang Desheng said: "That's because of the good seeds passed on by Mr. Houlong, as well as the new technology taught by the Science Gate, otherwise, our family used to farm the same way, and at the end of the year, we were not hungry." By the way, I'll get you some fertilizer after a while, I heard that it's a good thing, and if you sprinkle it in the field, you can increase the yield. ”

Liang Laohan did not refuse this magical thing of chemical fertilizer, nor did he feel surprised, this fairy cast a spell, which can increase the yield of the field, which is a very common thing, Liang Laohan also thought that chemical fertilizer was also some kind of magic immortal art, but he was a strong Xie Houlong in his mouth, Xie Kemen.

After both father and son had eaten, the wife ate half of the remaining egg pancakes and added a bowl of sweet potato rice to herself, and asked her son while eating: "When you go home this time, how many days will you stay? Will you miss the work in the factory? ”

Liang Desheng said: "Mother, don't worry, am I the kind of person who comes nonsense? In fact, I went home this time, and the factory owner asked me to come back." The factory owner is about to open a branch factory again, and there is a shortage of manpower, so I asked me to go home and pull a few young men with quick hands and feet and clear minds to work in the factory. The factory owner also said that if I pull someone to go, he will give me two yuan. ”

Liang Laohan grinned: "There are still such good things? There are still a lot of strong laborers in our village who stay at home, but those old men are very old-fashioned and difficult to speak, I'm afraid you won't pull your own nephews to work in the city." ”

Liang Desheng said with a smile: "This matter has to be done by your father, who in our village doesn't know that you are honest, if you come forward to talk to those old old-fashioned people, I will beat the side drum next to me, and this matter will not be done." Besides, this is a great thing to work in the city, with RMB and overalls, it can attract the eyes of the little girl, and it will be convenient to find her mother-in-law in the future. ”

Liang Desheng snorted: "You kid, you actually hit me with the idea." But when he thought about it, just a few moves of his mouth could help his son earn two yuan, which was a great good thing, and even he, an honest man, was a little moved.

However, Liang Laohan has been cautious all his life, and he pulled his son at night, chattered and asked about the factories in the city for a while, confirming that there is a special labor bureau in the development zone, and what labor laws are there, which specifically manage disputes between factory owners and workers, although there are also factory owners who oppress workers. First, the workers can sue the labor bureau, once it is verified, the factory owner not only has to accompany the workers' money but also accept the fine of the labor bureau, and secondly, the angry workers directly roll up the shop and leave, there is no place to keep the master, there is a place to keep the master, skilled workers like them with work experience, there are people everywhere rushing to ask.

After listening to his son's words, Liang Laohan relieved himself, he couldn't send the neighbor's children in the village to the fire pit, wouldn't that ruin his reputation for half of his life.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next day, before the chicken crowed, Liang Laohan got dark, ate a few leftover beans from last night, and prepared to go to work.

Liang Desheng turned over and woke up: "Dad, why did you get up so early? ”

Liang Laohan said in a low voice: "It's not our own family's work, it's the work in the owner's field, and a large piece of land has newly opened up in the back mountain of the owner's house, if you don't do it early, you will miss the farming time." ”

Liang Desheng was still a little dazed, but when he heard his father's words, he suddenly woke up, lifted the quilt, sat up from the pit, and said in a rough voice: "Dad, why are you still planting the land of Zhou's family? I said earlier, don't plant that land, you just keep our own land and live, in the future, with me working in Hangzhou and earning a lot of people's wages, you can eat and drink spicy food every day. I heard from the guys of the supply and marketing cooperatives that the science gate will promote the construction of new countryside in the future, and when the time comes, you will be able to live upstairs and downstairs, electric lights and telephones. ”

Liang Lao Hanqi said: "What is an electric light telephone? I have seen a kerosene lamp. ”

Liang Desheng took the farm tools in his father's hand: "This electric lamp is better than a kerosene lamp, several streets in Hangzhou have been installed with electric lights, at night, hey, it is as bright as the legendary heavenly street, the electric lamp does not use oil, what kind of electricity is used, as soon as the electricity is turned on, it will be lit, and it is better than the night pearl." As for the telephone, I haven't seen it, but I've heard that it's better than the telegraph, and two people can talk to each other on the phone thousands of miles apart. ”

Liang Laohan nodded and said, "It turned out to be a thousand-mile sound transmission technique." ”

Liang Laohan was dragged by his son, saying that he would not let him go to Zhou Papi's family to farm again, and the wife next to him also came to persuade him, it turned out that this job was done by Liang Laohan and his son, since his son went to Hangzhou to work, only Liang Laohan was left, and he got up early every day and felt dark, which was tiring enough.

Liang Laohan couldn't stand the persuasion, pondered, speaking of which, this week's peeling is also stingy, in order to save wages, he is reluctant to hire himself to do long-term work, but let himself work for a short time, hire a day to do a day's work, at the end of the year, the salary is deducted seven or eight deductions, he smiled: "Old and old, but you can also enjoy the blessings of your son, good, I listen to you, no longer help the owner, but today's work must be done, what's the matter, but also to say hello to the owner, this greeting is not to play, pick a son not to do, but not our old Liang family's reason." ”

Liang Desheng listened to his father and said that it made sense, just like in the factory, the treatment is not good, and the workers can resign and not do it, but according to the rules, they have to greet the factory a month in advance, so that the factory owner can rely on the staff to take over the work in advance.

Liang Desheng worked as a worker for three months, but he also realized the importance of rules and discipline, and after listening to what his father said, he nodded: "Okay, Dad, you go to work first, I'll go around the village later, find a few partners who can talk about it, and you can boil an egg for Dad." Wake up early and do heavy work, eat a little more, otherwise, you will get that low blood sugar. ”

Liang Desheng's so-called finding a few partners to chat, in fact, was to encourage people to follow him to work, but Liang Laohan didn't stop him, he brought a boiling egg boiled by his wife, took a hoe, and went into the mountains.

On the mountain, Zhou Papi is hoeing grass with a group of hired workers, Zhou Papi is ruthless to the workers, and even more ruthless to himself, all the big and small work, dirty work, he is doing it himself, getting up earlier than the hired workers, eating less than the hired workers, and doing more than the hired workers, if it is not for this ruthlessness, how can Zhou Papi accumulate such as many family wealth?

Now even if Zhou Papi has become rich, and even has become an outer disciple of the Luofu faction leaving the palace, he still works in the fields every day wearing rags.

After hoeing the ridge grass, Zhou Papi straightened up, wiped his sweat, picked up the kettle and poured a cup of salt water and drank a sip, this kettle is not the stoneware of the past, but the hot water kettle invented by the Science Gate, the hot water is contained in it, and it is hot all day long - although Zhou Paopi cherishes money, but also cherishes his life, no life, no matter how much money is useless, the Science Gate said, after people work and sweat, they do not drink cold water, hurt the stomach and hurt the body, and need to replenish salt. Zhou Paopi listened to these words, so he deliberately bought a hot water kettle at a high price, but this hot water can only be enjoyed by Zhou Papi, the owner, and the other employees don't talk about hot salt water, they don't even have to drink a sip of water, and if they want to drink water, they go directly to the canal to drink it.

Zhou Papi urged the hired workers around him: "Hurry up, the work in your hands is faster, look at your grinding appearance, I have paid for you to work, if anyone works secretly and cheating, I will deduct the wages at the end of the year! ”

This Huanghuali bag, is Zhou Papi new from the supply and marketing cooperatives agricultural technology station to learn the ability, after the bag, the newly planted Huanghuali is not afraid of insects and birds bites wind and rain, the fruit is big and sweet, the appearance is good, the price naturally went up, however, this set of bags also cost money to buy from the supply and marketing cooperatives, it really costs a lot of money, if it is not for the supply and marketing cooperatives signed an underwriting contract, and got a low-interest loan, with the stingy nature of Zhou Papi, is reluctant to engage in this new technology.

The hired men sighed because they couldn't finish their work, and a figure with a hoe on his back hurriedly trotted over the ridge: "Boss, I'm late." ”

It was Liang Laohan who came, in fact, it was not that he was late, but that Zhou Papi was working too early, except for his family's field, there was no one in the other fields, and it was still dark on this day.

Zhou Papi put the hoe in his hand to the ground: "Okay, you are honest, I see that you are not honest at all, I spent money to hire your worker, you are good, you have only come until now, what, you want to earn my wages for nothing? No way! I tell you, even if you miss work today, half of your salary will be deducted, hurry up and work!"

Although Liang Laohan is nicknamed Liang Honest, he is a man, but the clay man also has three points of anger, he ignored the dissuasion of his son and wife today, Baba came to work for Zhou Papi, but he didn't expect that he was an hour late, and Zhou Papi took the opportunity to deduct his salary for half a day, which was too dark!

Liang Laohan held the big rough hand of the hoe tightly, and he just wanted to pull out his feet and leave, but he finally endured this breath, Zhou Papi is not only his own owner, but also the outer disciple of the Luofu sect of the cultivation sect.

Liang Laohan said sullenly: "Boss, if you want to deduct it, you can deduct it, but after I worked for you today, I won't come tomorrow." ”

Zhou Papi was proud, and he took the opportunity to deduct Liang Laohan's salary for half a day, but the other party didn't even dare to let go of a fart, and several hired workers next to him saw that they were taking Liang Laohan Liwei, so they hurriedly accelerated the work in their hands, but they didn't expect that Liang Laohan actually came up with such a sentence.

Zhou Papi thought that he had heard it wrong, and asked: "Won't you come tomorrow? You won't come to work tomorrow? Then you have to come over the day after tomorrow, and the work of bagging Huanghuali in the past few days can't be delayed." ”

Liang Laohan shook his head: "Later, I won't come - I won't come in the future." ”

Zhou Papi was shocked, Liang Laohan is honest, and he does a good farm job, he has so much land at home, it is not possible to have such a strong laborer, it is more and more difficult to find good hired workers these years, and he can't do the work in the field by himself, right?

Zhou Papi hurriedly changed his face to a smile: "What? Liang is honest, there is something at home? If you have something, you can do something, how can you quit your job? If you really have a problem at home, you can come to me first to pay some wages -- well, or borrow a little money, and I will give you a lower interest." ”

Liang Laohan remembered that he borrowed a string of money from Zhou Papi back then, and bought some millet to live in the famine year, but he didn't expect that he couldn't afford to pay back the money later, and finally had to give his beloved daughter to Zhou Papi, but within a few months, the girl fell ill and died.

Where can I afford to borrow the money I picked up this week, this is life-threatening!

Thinking of his daughter who died young, Liang Laohan came from it with grief, gritted his teeth, and said with a rare stubbornness: "Dongjia, I have something at home, and I won't do your work here." Pay your wages and give it to me. ”

Zhou Papi never thought that Liang Laohan, who has always been honest, would actually contradict him in public, and what's worse is that without Liang Laohan, a humanoid animal who is easy to call, he will have to delay a lot of farm work in his family.
