Siheyuan: I Raised Ten Thousand Wild Boars
Chapter 53 Half a month later
Time flies and half a month has passed.
After a period of development, the farm has completely changed.
The land near the gate has been reclaimed to an area of about 15 acres, and is full of green seedlings. The first batch of transplanted seedlings should be ready for harvest in about a week.
There are three more small ponds near the vegetable field. Li Guohua dug them secretly at night when no one was around, and told others that he had asked someone to help him dig them.
The number of people has also increased from the original two to ten now.
Apart from Li Guohua and Zhou Dahu, the other eight are Zhao Yutian, Zhao Yulin, Zhang Zhiyong, Zhang Xiuxiu, Wu Guoquan, Liu Fuhan, Yuan Fu and Jiang Dongmei.
Among them, Zhao Yutian is Zhao Yushan’s younger brother, and Zhao Yulin is also from Shigouzi Village. Both of them are taciturn.
Zhang Zhiyong is the younger brother of Zhang Zhiwu from Hewan Village, and Zhang Xiuxiu is Zhang Zhiwu's cousin. This is to repay the favor of pulling up the seeds.
The other few people were from the nearby Chaoyang Commune. Among them, Wu Guoquan and Liu Fuhan were only 17-18 years old, while Yuan Fu was years old and was very good at growing vegetables, so he was considered a special talent.
Jiang Dongmei's case was special. Her husband died, and her two uncles, in order to seize her house, accused her of killing her husband and drove her out of her home. But she came here to escape famine, and she had no place to go to, especially with two children, a boy and a girl.
As the saying goes, there is always trouble around a widow, and since she was quite pretty, the men would deliberately make things difficult for her when she went to work, giving her more work points and deliberately giving her fewer work points, which made her miserable.
When she learned that the textile factory and farm were recruiting temporary workers, she knelt down and begged the factory to accept her. Li Guohua couldn't bear it and kept her.
In fact, the salary on the farm is pitifully low, only 15 yuan per month, 3 yuan less than the apprentice. But for them, it is already good.
According to Yuan Fu, one can earn 180 yuan a year anywhere, especially since the farm provides lunch.
In fact, temporary workers do not have any benefits. Li Guohua went to the factory to ask for benefits, but all the money and tickets went into his pocket, and he had to provide food for them himself.
"Everyone has worked hard during this period, and the results of our labor are visible to the naked eye. In the next few days, everyone should have a good rest and take good care of the vegetables. Old man Yuan, you should keep a close eye on them!"
"Don't worry, Director. I understand. I guarantee there won't be any problems!" Yuan Fu said with a smile, showing his big black teeth.
In fact, Yuan Fu is only in his 50s, but due to years of heavy physical labor and malnutrition, his hair is gray and his face is full of wrinkles. He looks like he is in his s or s.
After explaining the next task, Li Guohua prepared to go to the factory to report the situation and cry poor. There is a saying that the crying child gets the milk.
"Uncle Yuan, please ask the manager if there is any meat for lunch!" Zhang Zhiyong gently poked Yuan Fu beside him and said in a low voice.
"I won't ask, let the little girl ask!" Yuan Fu pointed at Zhang Xiuxiu and said.
"Zhiyong, you'd better stop asking. Have you forgotten that we ate corn noodles for three consecutive days last time?" Zhang Xiuxiu said unhappily.
Zhang Zhiyong held his breath when he heard this, and only Yuan Fu was left beside him, smiling happily.
Everyone was actually prepared to endure hardships when they came to the farm, just to earn 15 yuan a month. After all, in the commune, you only see money at the end of the year, and the food rations are deducted, so there is not much money left.
But after arriving at the farm, everyone didn’t expect that although life was a little hard, the food was really great.
The first day they arrived was spent on rabbit meat and rice, and on the second day they made big steamed buns and millet porridge. In the following days, because they had to reclaim the land, Li Guohua tried every means to give everyone something oily to eat.
As a result, one day, Zhang Zhiyong said that he would go and ask the workers in the factory whether the textile factory eats meat and fish every day!
Well, for the next three days, they ate vegetables, cornmeal, and sorghum rice every day, which was hard for everyone to swallow. Zhao Yutian scolded him for being an old wild boar who couldn't eat fine bran and for talking too much, and wanted to beat him.
Everyone was warned on the first day that if they heard anything about the farm outside, they would have to leave. Unfortunately, he ran into trouble.
He was also warned that if he didn't want to do it, he should go home. If he heard anyone outside talking about what to eat on the farm, he would go home immediately.
Now everyone knew that Li Guohua was here for real.
Especially after we learned about the food in the factory and the situation in other factories, everyone kept silent.
The main reason is that these people are too young. Look how smart Yuan Fu is. He knows that you are wrong, but since everyone is not familiar with you, he doesn't even try to persuade you and pretends to be dumb and knows nothing.
What is the purpose of life? We work hard every day, racking our brains to make all kinds of calculations, just for stuttering.
For the sake of everyone's welfare, everyone supervised each other and vowed to clean up the revolutionary ranks. It was mainly the people from Shigouzi Village and Chaoyang Commune who supervised Zhang Zhiyong from Hewan Village.
Textile Factory Logistics Director's Office
"Uncle Zheng, look, I've become darker recently. There are no machines for digging the land, it's all done with a hoe, it's really not a job for humans, facing the loess and back to the sky, the working people have a hard time!"
"You kid, you come to me every day to cry poor! Let me tell you, you took the job, don't even think of asking me for money!"
Zheng Aimin now completely understands him. He is just a troublemaker who would come and stir things up for no reason.
"Uncle Zheng, don't worry. No matter how hard or tiring it is, I will do my best to not lose face for you."
Li Guohua kept expressing his loyalty.
"You kid! Come on, don't say that Uncle Zheng doesn't take care of you. I'll take you to eat something good at noon!" Zheng Aimin said as he picked up his handbag.
"Let me get it, let me get it. Where are we going at noon? To Dongxing Building or Fengze Garden?" Li Guohua snatched the handbag and followed Zheng Aimin like a secretary.
"You can't see it, it's Chaoyang Machinery Factory. Some old friends are here today, let's take you to have a look. Old Cai who asked you for help last time is also here, so it's a good time to go over and take advantage of him!"
"Okay! You go ahead."
The two of them left the logistics office one after the other, and no one in the logistics department was surprised.
Everyone knows that Li Guohua is Zheng Aimin's trusted and beloved general. He is taken with him wherever he goes and is always thinking of him for any benefits. The two of them often talk about something in secret together.
Some people even suspected that Li Guohua was a relative of Zheng Aimin.
Chaoyang Machinery Factory is not far from the textile factory, and it only takes a few minutes to get there by bike.
As soon as they arrived at the gate, Xiao Huang, the logistics officer of the machinery factory, was already waiting for them. After following Xiao Huang to the small cafeteria of the machinery factory, there were already five people waiting.
Among them was someone Li Guohua knew, Li Huaide, the logistics director of the steel rolling mill.
"Okay, Lao Zheng, you are really dishonest. I asked you to drink, but you brought the gatekeeper with you. You must drink three glasses of wine today as punishment."
After a brief exchange of greetings, Zheng Aimin introduced everyone to Li Guohua. They were Qian Xinmin, deputy director of the machinery factory, Wang Manyin, director of Chaoyang Supply and Marketing Cooperative, Cai Guotao, director of the Chaoyang Grain Bureau, and Zheng Hongshan, deputy director of the machine repair factory.
Well, this is the alliance of deputy logistics directors, right?
