Siheyuan: I Raised Ten Thousand Wild Boars

Li Guohua looked at the notice in front of him and was actually mentally prepared.

It's not that he is stubborn and wants to go against Tan Wen and others, it's just that they can't get along with each other, otherwise they will be liquidated in the future. The most pitiful people in the world are those who sit on the fence, most of them don't get any benefits, and end up with neither side.

Since he can only choose one side, Li Guohua will naturally choose the final winner.

Since you have to draw a line in the sand anyway, you might as well make a point in the early stages to make your position clear; maybe it will catch the attention of someone with ulterior motives, which will definitely benefit you in the future.

The notice was sent by the ministry, and it didn't involve any punishment. It was just a notice for cadres to go to the countryside to work.

This started in the 1950s. Every year, every unit has a target: either go to the factories below and contribute to the construction, or go to the countryside to work and experience the difficulties faced by farmers.

The place Li Guohua went to this time was an agricultural farm located in the southwest of Beijing. It was indeed a familiar industry!

"Brother-in-law, why don't we rebel? Tan Wen is going too far!" Zhao Yunlong said fiercely, holding a gun.

Seeing that Li Guohua was going to be transferred, he began to worry.

"Rebellion? Against whom? How? Do you plan to rule the mountain and become the king? How many men and guns do you have? Can you be a little more normal and use your precious brain?" Li Guohua said unhappily.

This kid needs to hold the reins tighter, otherwise something bad will definitely happen.

"Brother-in-law, you can't leave anyway. If you leave, I will fight Tan and Liu to the death!" Zhao Yunlong said with red eyes.

Li Guohua was speechless. Good boy, your brother-in-law’s kindness to you was not in vain.

Two days later, Li Guohua stood in front of the vast field and looked into the distance. It was a great place with abundant water resources, making it very suitable for growing rice.

"Brother-in-law, what's so good about this? It's noon and the sun is scorching. Let's report in quickly!" Zhao Yunlong said with a sad face, carrying a quilt on his back.

That’s right, Li Guohua was afraid that something might happen to him, so he decided to take him with him to work in the countryside.

"Can you please cheer up a little, kid? We've been to farms before, so what are you afraid of?" Li Guohua got angry when he saw that he looked half dead. He didn't look like a model student or a class leader at all.

"Brother-in-law, how can this be the same? Before, you were the field director and I was the deputy director of the production department. Now we are just soldiers and we are still being controlled to death!" Zhao Yunlong said eagerly.

His brother-in-law wanted to take him to the countryside to do labor. What could he say? He would have to explain to his sister.

"Hehe, you kid are just shortsighted! Brother-in-law tells you, people are different. Some people can get along well wherever they go, and everyone treats them like a master. Some people are not smart, and have to be controlled all their lives!" Li Guohua said with a smile, holding his head high.

Zhao Yunlong was stunned, and his eyes seemed to be asking, "Brother-in-law, are you trying to play tricks on me?"

The two came to the farm office and met the actual person in charge of the farm, Farm Director Dong Anguo.

"Director Li, your transfer order has come down. It's to the farm's farming team!" Dong Anguo looked at the young and somewhat excessive department-level cadre in front of him and said somewhat unnaturally.

"Director Dong, there is only one farming team. I, Old Li, will make the best of it. Please take care of me in the future!" Li Guohua said with a smile.

Although he was sent down this time, it was much better than Wang Shaosheng and others. He was sent down to the countryside as a cadre, and his rank was retained. If he was sent to a place outside the capital, he would even be assigned a job.

"Director Li, let's talk while we walk!" Dong Anguo paused, stretched out his hand and said.

The three of them first came to a row of houses, which gave them the first impression of being short and damp.

My goodness, even in the hot summer, the base of the wall feels a little damp. It will definitely freeze in the winter. Is this house built on a mud pond?

After entering the room, it has the simplest layout.

There were several long tables at the entrance, with toiletries placed on them. Opposite was the earthen kang, a large bunk bed that took up almost half of the room.

The large bunk bed can accommodate at least a dozen people, and there are already several quilts on it, taking up all the good spots closest to the window.

"Yunlong, it's here!" Li Guohua pointed to the bed closest to the window and said.

Zhao Yunlong knew what he meant. He rolled up his original bedding and threw it to the back, then re-made the quilt for both of them.

"Director Li, today is the first day. You can rest first and go back to work tomorrow. Your team leader will tell you about the daily work content. Also, meals in the cafeteria..."

Dong Anguo curled his lips when he saw what the two were doing, but he didn't say much. Instead, he began to introduce his daily work content.

"Old Dong, I know everything, don't worry!" Li Guohua patted his shoulder and said. Along the way, with his jokes, Director Dong had become Old Dong.

"Okay, when you have nothing to do you can walk around and get familiar with the farm. I'll be leaving now!" Dong Anguo said with a sigh of relief.

Director Li is really not an ordinary person. He seems to be talking nonsense all the time, but in fact, every sentence he says is revealing his past.

"Brother-in-law, why do I feel like there's something wrong with this old guy? It seems like he wants to say something but hasn't said it yet!" Zhao Yunlong scratched his head and asked.

"You've figured it out, how can your brother-in-law not figure it out? Don't worry, we can stop the enemy with our generals and block the water with our earth. What's there to be afraid of? Let's go and see if there are any acquaintances on the farm. Your brother-in-law will take you to open up the heaven and earth line here!"

Li Guohua saw that he had spread out the quilt and mat and felt a little hungry.

The two of them toured the entire farm in just one afternoon.

Southwest Farm is more than half the size of Chaoyang Farm, but the number of people is more than doubled. This is probably because the fields here have a large difference in height and there are a lot of paddy fields, so farming is more complicated.

In the afternoon, he also met an acquaintance, the farm's logistics chief Zhu Youming. Before, Li Guohua had been giving away money by selling large quantities of low-priced meat. This guy followed Zheng Hongshan from the machine repair factory, and Li Guohua had seen him twice.

"Director Li, do you want me to talk to the director and ask him to change your position?" Zhu Youming asked with a smile.

He knew the power of the person in front of him. He had connections and friends all over the capital. It was only because he was low-key, otherwise everyone would give him some face.

"No need. We came down here to experience the labor at the call of our superiors. How could we experience it if we were replaced?" Li Guohua said seriously.

"Yes, yes!" Zhu Youming nodded.

Looking at the Zhonghua cigarettes in Li Guohua's hand and the big chicken drumstick in Zhao Yunlong's hand, he thought, it would be strange if I believed you.

"I have to trouble you this time. Please don't despise these little specialties from my hometown. When I get back, we can have a good get-together when we have time!" Li Guohua took out a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes from his pocket and stuffed it into Zhu Youming's pocket.

"Don't worry, Director Li. Just tell me if you need anything. I will do what I can. If I can't, I will find a way to do it!" Zhu Youming touched the cigarette in his pocket and said with a smile.

No wonder Brother Zheng talks about how good his brother is every day. He can become the factory director thanks to him, and now he has reaped the rewards of his involvement.

As for Zhonghua cigarettes, I have only seen them but never smoked them.
