Chapter 20 Come to worship the pier

The green pickup truck drove for about half an hour and left Changyang Town and arrived at the border of Liangxiang.

Yue Zhengyang asked the locals about the direction of Shiyang Village.

The green pickup truck swayed left and right again and arrived at Shiyang Village.

After being guided by the villagers, Yue Zhengyang and his group came to the village party secretary's house in vain.

The old branch secretary of Shiyang Village is surnamed Sun, and he is highly respected in this area of ​​Shiyang Village.

He was originally at the village brigade headquarters and heard that a group of young people came to his house and drove a large truck.

He was puzzled and didn't know what happened. He hurriedly finished the meeting and rushed home.

At the meeting, the old branch secretary asked Yue Zhengyang what was going on.

Yue Zhengyang handed the old branch secretary a peony and said, "Old branch secretary, that's it. My name is Yue Zhengyang. My two brothers, one is Zhu Jun and the other is Yu Dong. In a few days, we will come to your village to study in the countryside. Let's come here to pay homage to the wharf first. I'm reckless, please let the old branch secretary Hai Han."

When the old secretary seemed to understand something when he heard the names of Zhu Jun and Yu Dong.

"Oh, Comrade Zhu Jun and Comrade Yu Dong, I just received a notice from the village that there are two people on the list."

"Since there is, there will be no mistake, Dongzi, remove the things."

Yu Dong and his men carried the 160 kilograms of pork from the truck to the old secretary's house.

When the old branch secretary saw these young men, he carried so much pork into his house with a swagger, and quickly stopped him.

"My little comrade, we are now communist, and the party's world. If you don't prosper, you are making me a mistake. Take it back quickly."

Where did the old secretary have so much pork in his home?

Every time I buy meat, I buy a few taels of meat, pick up fat, refine oil, and then cook the meat with vegetables. This is when relatives come and I don’t usually buy it.

Seeing that the old branch secretary was about to stop him, Yue Zhengyang quickly pulled the old branch secretary aside and told the old branch secretary.

"Old Party Secretary, I'm not just giving it to you. Look at which family in the village is the poorest. How many families do you choose to send it to you? It's not our heart.

Don’t refuse, you have to refuse again, and I still have something to do, so it’s hard to say it out loud if I ask you for help.”

The old secretary thought about it, Yue Zhengyang said it was not bad, and then divided the meat into several families so that those poor families could have a fat year.

Hearing that Yue Zhengyang had something to ask for his help, he said, "Tell me, Comrade Xiaoyue, as long as you don't make any mistakes, you can help you."

Seeing that the old secretary was also a pleasure, Yue Zhengyang said, "Old secretary, my brothers are here. After a while, where do they live?"

"Oh, you ask this? I've already thought about it. There are six people in total. I'll arrange them in the empty house in the brigade headquarters. Anyway, there are not two rooms in the village. There are three more rooms, two people and one room. At that time, there will be two lesbians."

Yue Zhengyang thought to himself that if Yu Dong and the others were asked to do something here in the future, it would be inconvenient to come and go.

After thinking about it, he said to the old branch secretary, "Old branch secretary, this is not good. How dare we occupy the house in the village? I saw the small hill at the entrance of the village, building a house on that hillside and letting them live. I paid for it and built three rooms and added a kitchen. How about it?"

The old branch secretary did not expect that Yue Zhengyang would not want the house he arranged. He was going to clean up the brigade headquarters and make room for the newly arrived educated youth.

After hearing from Yue Zhengyang, he said that if he paid for the house, the city people were enlightened! The old branch secretary couldn't help but sigh.

"It's actually okay if you pay for the house yourself. There is no problem. Anyway, there is also a wasteland. If you open up the place, I can be regarded as the land of your educated youth." The old branch secretary joked happily.

When Yue Zhengyang heard this, he suddenly had a good idea in his heart and said hurriedly.

"Old Secretary, do you think this is true?"

Seeing Yue Zhengyang rebelling against him, the old branch secretary said anxiously, "Comrade Xiaoyue, here, no one dares to say that my old man is not trustworthy."

"Okay, then I'll leave that mountain to me and open it up. Ten years later, I'll return it to the village. How about it?"

The old branch secretary was thinking that it was not easy to grow crops on the hills anyway, and there were many piles of rocks.

Besides, there are still many soil slopes in the village to be leveled for fertile land. The one at the entrance of the village is not easy to repair, so it doesn’t matter if it is left to him.

It would be great if all educated youths came to open up barren mountains. If they were allowed to farm and plant rice, they might not be able to do so, and it would affect my harvest next year.

"Yes, if you don't believe it, I will write you a note at that time, right?"

"No problem, what you said is definitely no problem. Old branch secretary, I have one thousand yuan, you can build three brick and tile houses for me. If it is not enough, I will make up for you later. Do you think it is?"

Seeing Yue Zhengyang handing over a fight with Datong, the old branch secretary thought to himself, why did his child take so much money and even pretend that he was talking about it?

"Enough, enough, then I'll ask someone to burn bricks tomorrow, and I will definitely have time to live there."

"Old branch secretary, and I will pay for anyone who comes to build a house. How much does it cost per day and how many people? Then you can calculate it for me and I will send them to check out when they come again."

"What else do you need for two or three days? Rural people have the strength."

The old branch secretary held the money given by Yue Zhengyang in his hand, so he was embarrassed to ask Yue Zhengyang for wages. Most of the money was bought for the earthen kiln bricks in the village.

Yue Zhengyang is also considered the God of Wealth in the earth kiln in the village.

Nowadays, no one has built houses with bricks, half mud and half grass.

It is to use mud and grass to mix it together, make a large square with a mold, and then dry it and build it into a wall.

There are very few people like Yue Zhengyang who directly build brick and tile houses.

He had no choice but to build two more rooms for the four educated youths he didn't know on the grounds that he did not occupy the village house.

Yue Zhengyang thought to himself that he could not afford these four people. At that time, he would have to let them work for him. Yue Zhengyang began to have the face of the landlord Laocai.

"Old Secretary, I still have seven or eight military coats, I'll give it to you."

Yue Zhengyang took off the tweed scout coat from Wang Hongjun and others in the truck and gave it to the old branch secretary, making a favor.

Where did the old branch secretary wear this kind of military coat? He had to go to the county and town government and saw that the leader was passing by. He felt so happy in his heart, but he said.

"Oh, Comrade Yue, this is not something to do. It's a waste to wear such good clothes on the old man."

"If you don't have that kind of care, you can't wear it, so you can wear it for your son."

"That's good, that's good."

The old man thought that his three sons were exactly two with him.

Not to mention, if I put on this coat and walked to the brigade headquarters, those who don’t know would think that they were from a leader who came to visit privately.

The old branch secretary felt that it was not good to do nothing after others gave him so many things.

So he pulled Yue Zhengyang and said, "Comrade Yue, let me take you to the hillside at the entrance of the village to take a look. If you want to say that this hillside is not useless, you can use that kind of fruit tree."

Yibangzi followed the old secretary to the hillside of the village entrance.

Before leaving, the old branch secretary also ordered his old lady to call his eldest daughter-in-law to come and cook lunch together.

He put some meat brought by Yue Zhengyang into the pot. When the old woman saw Yue Zhengyang delivering pork, she was very happy and hurried to her eldest son's house to call her wife over.

The hillside at the entrance of the village is right, not far from the bridge entering the village, a few people left the old branch secretary's house and turned around and arrived at this hillside.

As the few people climbed up the hill from a small road one day, Yue Zhengyang felt the eyes suddenly enlightened.

This hill has no top, and there is a small valley in the middle.

There are mountains and waters here, and it can be described as beautiful mountains and rivers. No wonder the old branch secretary said that this place is useless.

When he came, Yue Zhengyang took a look in the truck. Now that he walked into this small hill, he really couldn't make fertile land.

But make a fruit forest, then build a greenhouse to grow vegetables, and then raise some chickens, ducks and geese in this small valley, and build a cement road from the bottom of the mountain to the depressions...

Yue Zhengyang was thinking about how to develop this small hill. He had to plan this matter carefully, and the early investment was a bit big.

This is not a big deal. The key is to establish a good relationship with the old branch secretary. If the old branch secretary says you can do it, then you can continue. If it doesn't work, then he can't go down this path.

Fortunately, this old branch secretary is not a rigid person.

"How about Comrade Yue, isn't this place good?"

"Well, that's good. Although I can't make fertile land, I still have a future of development by building a fruit forest.

However, the old branch secretary, this can only be said to be from the village. In order to let the educated youth deeply understand the hardships of the farmers, they were handed over to my two brothers to manage.

How about it? I don’t want to wear the capitalist hat at that time.”

"Don't worry, I know how to do this."

The old branch secretary looked confident. Anyway, it was always a wasteland. It was not great to let Yue Zhengyang and the others create value, right?

No matter how good he does, he will not be from our village in the future, so he will not be able to take it away, right?

"Okay, even if I have a joint venture with your village, I will pay the money and you will pay the land. If there is a harvest, I will share the income with the village.

But when I need personnel, you have to help me. I will pay for it when I use it."

Yue Zhengyang looked at the area up and down the mountain, without measuring instruments, but he probably estimated that it would have an area of ​​2,000 acres.

"The villagers all farm. What money does it cost to help you do some work? It's okay, just notify me when the time comes." The old branch secretary slapped his chest and made a guarantee.

"Oh, old branch secretary, they have work points in the village. When I come to me, I don't have work points, so the salary must be paid, otherwise who will come?

Even if you arrange it, who is willing to work for me well, right?"

How could Yue Zhengyang exploit these hard-working people? He couldn't bear it.

Seeing that Yue Zhengyang’s words make sense, the people in the city are different, and they are insightful, they are indeed worthy of being from Sijiu City.

"Okay, just do what you said."

Yue Zhengyang quietly said to the old branch secretary, "Also, I want to do breeding in this mountain depression."

"Breeding is indeed OK, but have you ever thought about raising anything?"

Yue Zhengyang wanted to do breeding, not just for his own interests, but for his brothers to do something, and by the way, for the people here.

To put it bluntly, people in Beijing still have meat tickets, so they can eat meat.

This countryside basically can’t even eat meat, and there is no oil or water in the stomach. If they can be allowed to eat openly, they will probably be able to eat five kilograms of meat in their prime.

"Don't worry, old branch secretary, I'm just raising this mountain and slums, so I won't know that we can cooperate with each other and breed in the name of the village.

At that time, I will make every household in the village able to eat big fat meat.

Then let everyone know that it is necessary to let ‘intellectual young people go to the countryside and receive re-education from poor and lower-middle peasants’.”
