Chapter 632: Zhao Yong's Newcomer

But Peng Shaoxiong is a notoriously bad boy. When he gets angry, he will dare to use a red knife to attack and a white knife to attack.

The two sides argued more and more fiercely, each holding a stick, and were about to fight.

Zhao Yong spoke up: "Peng Shaoxiong, don't you want money? How much do you want per month?"

Peng Shaoxiong thought that forty yuan was not a small amount of money, at least he could smoke a few cigarettes with his brothers, so he immediately held out four fingers.

Zhao Yong misunderstood: "Four hundred a month is not much money. The New Year is coming soon, it's not worth it to hurt the relationship. Come over to the side and let's talk alone."

"I'm not afraid of you, let's talk."

The two came to the side, and Zhao Yong looked Peng Shaoxiong up and down: "You are capable, kid, do you dare to risk your life?"

Peng Shaoxiong patted the knife at his waist and said, "I am a lonely man. My parents are dead and I have no wife or children."

"Our boss has a mine in Yun Province and needs someone who is willing to take risks to keep it safe. You seem to be quite capable, so I'll offer you 400 a month. Ask your brothers if there are any willing to go, 200 a month."

"Is this true? Are you going to sell us out?"

"Didn't I tell you just now? Go and watch the mines and patrol. If you dare to go, go ahead. If you don't dare to go, get lost right away."

"I'm just a fat man, I'm not afraid of a hero. I'm going with a dozen brothers. When are we leaving?"

"After the New Year, take those who are willing to go with you to Liujiazhuang to meet the boss tomorrow. If the boss approves, he will probably give you some resettlement allowances right away."

"Okay then, see you tomorrow."

Peng Shaoxiong came back and shouted, "Brothers, let's go."

It came quickly and left quickly, without leaving a cloud behind, but leaving behind a pile of smoke butts.

Zhao Ying asked: "Brother Yong, why did they leave? How did you talk to them?"

"The leader is quite capable. Let him meet the boss tomorrow. Okay, it's getting late. Let's go back."

The next day, Peng Shaoxiong came to Liujiazhuang with ten of his brothers, a total of eleven people including him. Zhao Yong finally saw what it meant to be poor and arrogant. They were wearing tattered clothes in the cold weather, their rubber shoes showed their toes, their hair was infested with lice, their faces were pitch black, but they were all energetic and full of fighting spirit.

Zhennan Mine lacks manpower, especially good ones. After all, it is a mine, so it is not appropriate to recruit a large number of veterans. Ordinary people should be the main force. Now people from Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan account for more than 50%. In order to balance, Zhao Yong arranged for dozens of people from the Northeast and Shimenzhuang to go there. Yesterday, he met Peng Shaoxiong again, who is also a ruthless person.

Liu Xia Lian and others were studying yellow peach planting in the field when Zhao Yong came over with his people.

Peng Shaoxiong was struck by Liu Xia Lian's beauty when he saw her. She was really pretty, but he looked down on women from the bottom of his heart.

"The boss is a woman, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Liu Xia Lian waved her hand and said, "Boy, don't be too happy too soon. We don't want any losers here. Come over here and let's fight. If you are too useless, we will definitely not accept you."

Peng Shaoxiong looked at Zhao Yong, and Zhao Yong said, "Why are you looking at me? The boss has the final say. If you don't show some real skills, you will just eat for free."

Peng Shaoxiong was helpless: "I don't hit women, but if you insist, don't blame me." He immediately swung his fist as big as a jackhammer and hit Liu Xialian in the face. The latter turned her head away and the big fist missed.

Liu Xia Lian took advantage of the situation to grab the guy's arm, threw him over her shoulder, and threw him to the ground with a bang.

Peng Shaoxiong quickly got up with a roll, crouched down again and lowered his body, planning to change his tactics this time, hugging Liu Xialian's waist and throwing her to the ground, thinking of this, he lunged forward, but missed, and felt a strong force coming from his lower back, and he lost control and fell to the ground, with his lips broken.

This time Peng Shaoxiong decided not to get up and directly used a sweeping kick. Liu Xialian dodged it easily and kicked him in the chin, making him dizzy for a while.

When you are in the world, you have to admit defeat when you should. It's good enough if you can hold on for more than ten seconds.

"Don't fight, don't fight, I lost."

Liu Xia Lian brushed the dirt off her trouser legs. "They barely passed, but we have to start training again. Shao Xiong will get 200 yuan, and the others will get 50 yuan each. They need to take a shower, change clothes, and get their hair cut. Don't dress like vagrants. Dayong, take them with you, make them look neat, and then arrange for them to look after the factory at the gravel mine. We'll go south after the New Year."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

There was a clothing store in the village that sold sweaters, trousers, outerwear, and military coats. Each of us bought several new pieces.

Some people were about to put on their new clothes, but Zhao Yong stopped them immediately, "Wait a minute. If you put on your new clothes now, all the lice will follow you to your new clothes. Go to the bathhouse, throw away your old clothes and shoes, wash them, and then put on new clothes."

Peng Shaoxiong was as happy as if it was Chinese New Year: "Well, brothers, yesterday's fight was not in vain, was it?"

Zhao Yong took them to take a bath and change clothes, and then sent them to the gravel mine to settle down for a month or so. There was nothing much to do here. They just hit stones, practiced boxing, and ate and drank every day.

At my cousin's house, Uncle Guangshen was very curious. He took a poplar branch and looked at it carefully. As a teacher in the rural middle school, he was quite knowledgeable.

"This branch is one foot long, three cents a piece?"

"Yes, this is a new variety of fast-growing poplar, which is used as raw material by the wood board factory. Its biggest feature is that it has loose wood and grows fast, becoming a big tree in ten years or so. It likes riverbanks with a lot of water the most, and can be planted by the edge of the field, in front of or behind the house. Don't you have three acres of land by the river? Cultivate 20,000 seedlings for me, and I will buy them back at 1.7 cents. Of course, I will deduct the money for the branches, so I still get 700 to 800 yuan per acre."

"You are just giving me money. I will take this job. Your aunt is at home and has nothing to do, so she can just take care of the saplings. This thing is very simple. Just stick the strips in and water it, and it will take root and sprout."

"It's not easy to grow well. You have to fertilize, plow deeply, and prepare the land to facilitate watering later."

My aunt said beside me, "Don't worry about it. Just rest assured. I'll take care of the land at home."

"Okay, this is just an experiment. If the trees grow well, I'll find a few farmers and distribute at least hundreds of thousands of saplings a year. This way, we'll have a steady supply of wood for processing later."

Liu Xialian stayed in her hometown for three days and laid out a 3,000-mu fruit base and a 3,000-mu medicinal material base, with honeysuckle and salvia miltiorrhiza as the main medicinal materials. She also developed several villages near her home, and within three or four years, her hometown became prosperous.

It was almost the Spring Festival of 82. Time passed so quickly that it was already the th day of the twelfth lunar month when we returned to the Northeast. The workers from other places had already left the kimchi factory, but the local workers were still at work, continuing to rush to deliver goods. There were still dozens of train cars to be shipped after the New Year.

Liu Xia Lian got off work at noon and was about to go out for lunch when Assistant Xiao Ma came rushing over.
