On a small hill.

Li Dawei saw Liu Xing leading the black calf to appear on the village road, he was stunned for a moment, and then greeted him with a smile: "Why did you come back so early today?

It's not that he has nothing to say, but he knows that Liu Dongju's family is going to plant seedlings, and he doesn't have time to take care of the shoe store's business.

"I hired someone. Liu Xing replied.

"Oh!" Li Dawei didn't ask any more, but pointed to the hundreds of villagers who were building the road: "How about it, I didn't disgust you this time, right?"

"Yes. Liu Xing smiled teasingly.

"Huh?" Li Dawei was stunned.

If that's the case, then he really wants to die.

"Since you want to build a road, why are you in such a hurry! Can't you take your time?" Liu Xing looked at the country road under his feet, not joking: "This road surface is much smoother, and it can be opened to traffic, but the roadbed is not solid! After waiting for a long time, I am afraid that it will still be potholes." ”

The country road paved with slag is actually no different from the country road paved with sand.

Of course, the former is much cheaper.

But there are common shortcomings.

That is, it will disperse when it encounters water, and it will soon be washed away with the precipitation of time.

He is a person who was reborn, and he thought that in order to open the rural road of saltpeter village to traffic, it took a lot of effort and a lot of money, so he knew the inside story of this.

Li Dawei stretched out five fingers: "If I have extra money, can I finish it in such a hurry? ”

"That's it!" Liu Xing was stunned when he heard this.

In this way, he misunderstood Li Dawei.

It turned out that Li Dawei didn't want to completely repair the rural road, but there were only so many resources that could be obtained in Hengshui Distillery.

Thinking of this, I don't know why, Liu Xing suddenly didn't hate Li Dawei anymore.

It's not because he helped repair the village road this time, but as a reborn person, he knows that Li Dawei actually has a hard time when he does certain things.

At least in the Hengshui Distillery, where Arowana is mixed, if he doesn't have certain means, I'm afraid he won't want to gain a foothold at all.

But speaking of which, Li Dawei is still an old fox.

Those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to ink are black.

Although reborn as a human, Liu Xing knew that he still had a lot to learn.

Seeing that Li Dawei picked up the horn and went to command again, he did not stay on the country road at the moment, but took the black calf home.

At the door of the house, Zhou Qiuxiang took Zhao Xiaomo, Kang Hu, Liu Qiuyuan and other little daughters-in-law who made shoes to help pick slag to repair the road, and they were sweating profusely, but no one shouted tired.

It's Lan Lan and melon seeds, who are also holding small hoes to help level.

Liu Xing saw this scene, and after putting the black calf in the bullpen, he joined the road repair team without saying a word.

After all, this opportunity is really rare, if you don't grasp it, I'm afraid I don't know when it will go.

In his memory, saltpeter village paved the country road with sand, and that was still a matter of 96 years.

It's only 82 years now, and there is a difference of more than 10 years between the two!

But Liu Xing knows that the reason why it has been shortened for so many years.

It's all because of him.

Because he had the butterfly effect.

Changed the course of the road in Saltpeter Village.

This seems to be nothing, but in fact, it has laid a solid foundation for the development of saltpeter village attack in the future.

Otherwise, there will be no roads, and I am afraid that there will be no one to invest in the construction of the rural areas.

In other words, invisibly, Liu Xing changed the pattern of saltpeter village.

Most of this pattern is not visible.

But Liu Xing found out.

If nothing else, he knew that the impact of this pattern on Saltpeter Village would be huge in a few decades.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile with relief.

Maybe......

That's one of the things God wants him to be born again.

......

Busy time always flies.

It was noon in a flash.

Liu Xing saw that several truckloads of slag had been laid, and Li Dawei didn't mean to call the driver to load it, so he even asked his mother to cook, while he walked into the kitchen with the boiled tea.

On the way, if there were villagers who wanted to drink tea, he would pour them a bowl.

Just as he was about to walk to Li Dawei's side, Liu Qiuyuan pulled him to the side of the vegetable soil: "Xing Yanzi, did your mother tell you about someone coming to dig the corner of the wall this morning?"

"Huh?" Liu Xing was stunned.

Digging corners?

What does this mean?

Seeing this, Liu Qiuyuan explained: "I don't know the specific situation, anyway, a middle-aged man in a black suit came to your house and found Zhao Xiaomo, at first we thought it was Zhao Xiaomo's relative, but later we learned that it was ready to pay a high price to call Zhao Xiaomo to go somewhere else to make shoes, ten yuan a day!"

"And what is this middle-aged man's name? Liu Xinglian asked.

If nothing else, this must have been Xiao Li's idea.

After all, using waste tires to make shoes is not good for an inexperienced master.

"I don't know, anyway, Zhao Xiaomo finally scolded this man and ran away. Liu Qiuyuan smiled: "It's just that Tang Shi didn't come to make shoes today, and the daughter-in-law of the old Zhang family didn't come today." ”

Under normal circumstances, the little daughters-in-law will ask for leave if they don't come to Liu Xing's house to make shoes, which is Zhou Qiuxiang's rule, because this can let her know how much she cooks in advance.

For example, Zhao Xiaomo was originally at home to accompany her husband to build a new house today, but when she saw the road being repaired in saltpeter village, she told Zhou Qiuxiang in advance that she wanted to come over to help, so that she could reduce a lot of misunderstandings and eat at noon.

Liu Xing naturally knew the inside story of this, and after he was stunned for a moment, he followed Liu Qiuyuan's words and asked, "Auntie, you mean, they were poached by middle-aged people?"

"I don't know, so I'm here to ask you. Liu Qiuyuan replied.

"I don't know. Liu Xing thought for a while and said, "I'll take care of this matter, you go to the kitchen to help my mother cook! ”

"You don't need me to cook, your two sisters are already preparing meals. Liu Qiuyuan replied.

"You can't be talking about Sister Ding Lan and Sister Lian Fang, right?" Liu Xing was surprised, after all, Wu Ju and Zhang Xiangjun were gone, and there was no reason for the two of them to stay.

"Hmm," Liu Qiuyuan nodded.

"Then aunt, you will ask Sister Xiaomo again, what this middle-aged man looks like. Liu Xing proposed.

"Okay!" Liu Qiuyuan turned around and left.

Liu Xingmu sent her away, and walked towards Li Dawei with a teapot.

Maybe because he talked too much before, Li Dawei's voice chatting with Liu Dazhao at this time was a little hoarse, and when he saw that there was tea to drink, he quickly took it and drank a big bowl: "Good tea, I haven't drunk such good tea for a long time." ”

"You are thirsty, what good tea can you have in the countryside. Liu Xing smiled: "What's the matter, will this road continue to be repaired in the afternoon?"

"There's no slag left. Li Dawei replied in a hoarse voice.

"Then go back to rest and eat first, and leave him alone. Liu Xing took it and walked back.

Liu Dazhao disagreed: "Xing Yanzi, now that the road is repaired to our doorstep, I am afraid that other villagers will have opinions! Do you want to take Director Li to explain?"

When Li Dawei heard this, he couldn't help but smile.

He helped Saltpeter Village to repair the village road to the door of Liu Xing's house, which was a request from Liu Xing.

Other villagers want to build roads to close his business, if it weren't for Liu Xing's sake, he wouldn't have repaired this one at the foot of Shiniu Mountain.

Liu Xing also felt that there was something wrong with his father's words: "No...... What did you say when you called them to come and repair the road, did you promise them that they would pave the entire village road of Saltpeter Village with slag?"

"That's not true, the key is that everyone wants to take this opportunity to pave the village roads in front of their homes with slag! I am the leader of the saltpeter village, and I can speak for them, so naturally I can't shirk it. Liu Dazhao said with a smile.

"Then you discuss this matter with Director Li, and I won't interfere. After Liu Xing said this, he turned around and left.

"Don't!" Liu Dazhao grabbed Liu Xing: "How did I find out that you kid is so selfish?"

"Dad, I think you're selfish!" Liu Xing frowned: "Do you know how much this truckload of slag costs?"

"I don't know. Liu Dazhao scratched his head.

Liu Xing looked at Li Dawei, who was watching the play on the side.

He knew that only Li Dawei knew this question best, so he could only answer it by Li Dawei.

"The slag is actually not worth much, but a large truck is worth one or two hundred, after all, many villages that build roads need it, but what?" Li Dawei said this, and his voice changed: "I can't hold it up to the amount of slag! Just the slag transported to Saltpeter Village today is almost 30 trucks, which is a full 6,000 yuan according to 201 trucks! ”

Li Dawei is not scaring people, but telling the truth.

Because the slag is transported out of the Hengshui Distillery, it requires more than a dozen people to manually load and unload, and it is also necessary to find relevant departments to issue invoices.

When Liu Dazhao heard this, his face changed with fright: "Isn't it?, do you need so much money?" He also thought that the slag was something that was not wanted from the boiler of Hengshui Distillery, but now that he thinks about it, he is really lonely.

If he had known this inside story, how could he dare to say such embarrassing things in front of Li Dawei!

"Otherwise, you think it's all free?" Liu Xing couldn't help but snort: "So if you want to continue to build the road next, you better go and tell everyone yourself, right? As long as they are willing to pay for it, there is no problem in laying slag on their threshing fields." ”

"That can't be, you didn't say what I said before. Liu Dazhao knew that Liu Xing would not pit him, and after scratching his head in embarrassment, he hurriedly ran away.

Li Dawei looked at it and smiled: "Actually, it's not that I don't want to continue to build roads, but there is really not much slag in Hengshui Distillery, and there are still five or six cars that are useful." ”

"Don't say it, my father may have been brainwashed by someone, thinking that this carload of slag is all things that don't need money!" Liu Xing looked at the sky: "Let's go! Go to my house to rest and eat." ”

"Okay, but you'll have to call out to the drivers. Li Dawei reminded.

Although these are actually working in Hengshui Distillery to get money, they are also working hard today.

So, it has to be called.

"No problem. Liu Xing saw that the truck driver was resting and chatting on the side of the road, and immediately walked over with Li Dawei.

......

After eating, Li Dawei didn't linger after chatting with Liu Xing about the maintenance of the wine filling equipment, but drove away with Li Weiwei.

After all, he still needs to do it himself.

But before leaving, he gave Liu Dazhao a promise.

That is, in the next half month, as long as the weather is good, he will also ask the truck driver to bring a few truckloads of slag over to the villagers of saltpeter village to repair the road.

The reason why I suddenly changed my mind.

That's because Liu Xing spent a lot of thought on inviting him to have a meal with the drivers.

In such a situation, as the director of Hengshui Distillery, if he does not make a little statement, it will be a little too much.

This decision made Liu *** very happy, and seeing that there was nothing big in the family, he went out to brag to other villagers who were waiting for news.

Although Zhou Qiuxiang knew what Liu Dazhao was doing, she didn't stop it.

After all, in the countryside in the 80s, everyone sat together and bragged about this hobby for no money.

Liu Xing's side, after sending Li Dawei away, was pulled into the kitchen by Ding Lan and Niu Lianfang.

I thought I was going to take the glutinous rice back to eat, but Ding Lan told him a shocking news.

That is, after the discussion of Wu Bureau, Secretary Yan and other leaders yesterday, it was decided to let his father Liu Dazhao be the village head of Saltpeter Village.

For now, as long as Liu Dazhao does not object, it is almost a sure thing.

Because after Village Chief Wang was arrested, there were many problems when he was investigated and punished.

If you want to come back, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult in my lifetime.

Liu Xing, who heard the news, did not feel happy at the first time, but asked Niu Lianfang in surprise: "Sister, Village Chief Wang usually looks quite honest! What did he do?"

"Well!" Niu Lianfang thought for a while and replied: "He colluded with Xiao Daode and concealed all the tickets issued by his superiors to the villagers of Saltpeter Village, and many of them were sold to Xiao Daodao, and all the money he obtained was used for gambling. ”

"Isn't it?" Liu Xing's eyes widened when he heard this: "I remember that Village Chief Wang is very frugal, and the last time I saw his granddaughter's feet were still wearing straw sandals!"

Such a thrifty person is actually a good gambler.

It was so unexpected.

Niu Lianfang smiled when she heard this: "That's just a phenomenon, you don't know how rich Village Chief Wang's son's family is." ”

"Okay!" Liu Xing covered his forehead and didn't want to say more.

After all, he remembered that in the 80s, the village officials were all for the people.

And not like decades later, most of them think about their own interests.

"Don't be entangled, Village Chief Wang stepped down, this is a good thing for you and your father!" Niu Lianfang stretched out his hand and patted Liu Xing's shoulder: "But Secretary Yan has something to tell you, he hopes that you will take your father and use your wisdom to bring the poor saltpeter village to the road of prosperity." ”

"No, I don't want this high hat. Liu Xing knew that this was definitely not what Secretary Yan said, but what Wu Ju meant.

After all, even fools can see that it is the intention of Wu Bureau to let his father become the village head of Saltpeter Village, not Secretary Yan.

But now that things are like this, it is naturally impossible for him to stop them.

After all, you can't waste the kindness of the Wu Bureau!

And father, if only he could be the head of saltpeter village.

I'm afraid that some of the ambitions in my heart can also be displayed.

So, let it be!

Don't stop it, because he thinks the current situation is already better.

Ding Lan saw Liu Xing's thoughts, smiled and said something else: "I heard your mother say that there is a problem with the supply of materials for the production of shoes?"

"Hmm," Liu Xing nodded.

For the two sisters Ding Lan and Niu Lianfang, there is no need for him to hide it.

"Then do you want me to introduce you to a big boss who buys and sells leather, and the last time you made me the leather for my shoes, I got it from him. Ding Lan looked at Liu Xing, with seriousness in his eyes: "But because the leather he buys and sells is genuine leather, the price is a little expensive!"

"There's no problem with you, it's just that I'm afraid he won't do business with me!" Liu Xing expressed his worries: "After all, my shoe store is a small fight in the eyes of some big bosses. ”

"Don't worry, he won't dare. Ding Lan smiled when he heard this: "Otherwise, I will have time to ask him to go to the shoe store to talk to you in person." ”

"Okay!" Liu Xing nodded.

With Ding Lan's relationship in it, he believes that as long as he has money, nothing should be a problem.

"By the way, will you go to the shoe store in the market tomorrow?" Niu Lianfang spoke at this time.

"Definitely, because tomorrow is the day of the market!" Liu Xing replied.

If he doesn't go to the market on the day of the market, then he won't run a shoe store.

After all, judging from the situation in the past few days, the business of shoe stores will only be booming when they are in the market.

"Then we'll see you tomorrow, and first book a place for ten people to eat with your sister. Niu Lianfang said teasingly.

"You're going to the market tomorrow too?" Liu Xing couldn't help but ask.

"Well, but what are you doing, don't ask, I won't say if you ask. Niu Lianfang looked at the time on his watch: "Don't say it, Ding Lan and I have to leave, there are still a lot of things for us to do in the bureau!"

"Okay!" Liu Xing picked up the woven bag and packed it up.

"Enough, enough!" Ding Lan saw that the glutinous rice in Liu Xing's kitchen was about to be taken out, and even reminded at the moment.

"There are a lot of them in my backyard!" Liu Xing smiled and walked out of the kitchen with a woven bag.

Ding Lan and Niu Lianfang followed behind.

......

After sending Ding Lan and Niu Lianfang away.

Liu Xing went to the hall.

Seeing that Zhao Xiaomo and her aunt were making shoes, she walked over with a smile: "Sister Xiaomo, your family is building a house, why do you still come to me to help with things?"

"It's raining every day, and a lot of materials can't be shipped in!" Zhao Xiaomo looked up at Liu Xing: "While I'm free, I'll make some more money." ”

"Yes. Liu Xing nodded: "By the way, have you ever seen the middle-aged man who asked you to go somewhere else to make shoes before?"

As soon as these words came out, Liu Qiuyuan couldn't help but speak: "She said that he looked very familiar, as if he was working in a supply and marketing cooperative." ”

"But whether it is or not, I'm not sure. Zhao Xiaomo added.

"That's enough. Liu Xing smiled, seeing that the time was not early, he walked out of the hall immediately, brought the black calf and loaded the packed shoes.

Lan Lan appeared with melon seeds at this time: "Brother, are you going to the market?"

"Hmm," Liu Xing nodded.

Tomorrow is the market, many styles of shoes in the shoe store are out of stock, naturally we must send the finished shoes as soon as possible, otherwise it will be a little troublesome when it rains.

"Can I go with it?" Lan Lan asked in a low voice.

Melon seeds are also looking forward to something.

There was no little one to play with at home, and he felt uncomfortable.

"This ......" Liu Xing thought for a while: "Okay, but you have to be obedient when you go." ”

"Uh-huh!" Lan Lan smiled happily when she heard this.

The melon seeds also cheered, and trotted all the way to tell Zhou Qiuxiang on their short legs.

Liu Xing looked at it and shook his head, but he didn't say anything, but continued to put on his shoes.

Seeing this, Lan Lan also came to help.

After a while, the two bamboo baskets were filled.

Liu Xing saw that it was not too early, so he hugged Lan Lan and sat on the back of the black calf.

Zhou Qiuxiang walked out of the gate with melon seeds at this time: "Xing Yanzi, it's okay for your dad to be idle at home these days, or call your dad to go to the shoe store to help out." ”

"Mom, I can't stop him. Liu Xing smiled when he heard this, and after reaching out to hold the melon seeds on the back of the black calf's cow, he whispered in Zhou Qiuxiang's ear: "Sister Ding Lan told me when she left before, Dad is very likely to be the village chief of Saltpeter Village, at this time, you let him go to the shoe store to help, isn't it messy?"

"Really?" Zhou Qiuxiang's eyes widened when she heard this.

After coming back to my senses, it was not okay to be happy.

After all, in the past, if the saltpeter village wanted to elect the village head, it was necessary for all the villagers in the saltpeter village to vote.

"Am I going to joke about this?" Liu Xing pulled the bamboo basket, saw that it was very solid, and whispered again: "Let me tell you one more piece of good news, the eldest sister has it again, maybe this time next year, there will be another naughty ghost calling your grandmother." ”

"How do you know?" Zhou Qiuxiang covered her mouth, unable to say anything excited.

For her, Dong Ju's child has finally come out!

If she can give birth to a fat boy this time, then the mother of the family will not dare to say any gossip again.

"Of course my sister told me personally!" Liu Xing shook his head: "Don't say it, I have to go, otherwise I won't be able to catch my sister's dinner." ”

"Be careful on the road. Zhou Qiuxiang admonished.

"Got it. Liu Xing took the black calf and walked towards the village road.

After Zhou Qiuxiang saw Liu Xing go away, she hurriedly went to find Liu Dazhao.

After all, for her, the two things Liu Xing just told him were double happiness.

......

Supply and marketing cooperatives.

Spacious in the backyard.

The east side is a corner full of scrap tires.

Xiao Yang is supervising an emaciated girl making shoes.

Seeing that she couldn't even cut out the sole of her shoes for a long time, she couldn't help but get angry: "Tang Shi, you are a talent that I poached from Liu Xing at a high price! Don't tell me, you can get ten yuan a day with this technique?"

"I don't want to come, you tricked me. The emaciated girl 'Tang Shi' looked up and glared at Xiao Yang: "Besides, the process of making shoes in Liu Xing's house is not to cut the soles, I am only responsible for punching holes and grinding edges." ”

In fact, she and several other little daughters-in-law really didn't want to come and did something treacherous to Liu Xing.

But helplessly, when her family used to buy things in the supply and marketing cooperative, they owed a lot of old debts.

This time, Xiao Yang took this opportunity to coerce and trick her into making shoes to make money.

"Why didn't you say it earlier?" Xiao Yang was angry when he heard this.

Speaking of which, he dared to invite a rice bucket!

"You didn't ask!" Tang Shi couldn't help but say: "If you think it's not good, then let me go, I don't want to serve yet!"

"You!" Xiao Yang originally wanted to use force, but when he saw that the other two little daughters-in-law who had been dug from Liu Xing didn't dare to do anything, he had to hold back the anger in his heart and go to Xiao Li.

After all, the bad idea of going to Liu Xing to poach people to make shoes was come up with by Xiao Li.

Originally, he thought it was good, but now it seems that things are not as simple as he imagined.

At least you don't have to have hands to make shoes.

Xiao Li was settling accounts at the supply and marketing cooperatives at this time, and when she saw Xiao Yang coming with a gloomy face, she was stunned and asked, "What's the matter, who made you angry again?"

"The three little daughters-in-law you asked Lao Li to dig up, they have been busy working for most of the day, and they can't make shoes at all. Xiao Yang sighed lightly: "If you don't believe it, you can't even cut out the soles of your shoes, let alone the uniquely shaped straps." ”

"What?" Xiao Li was slightly taken aback when she heard this, and seeing that Xiao Yang didn't seem to be joking, she hurriedly walked towards the backyard.

......
