Chapter 424 Booming(2/4)

Apples, pears, peaches and other fruits are canned for sale and distribution.

Fruit lost in trading projects will also be recycled and processed by canneries for canning.

A few months ago, the reserves were emptied all at once, and many units and companies liked to purchase cans as welfare goods for distribution.

First of all, the storage time of canned food is relatively long, which is beneficial to the current social environment that is not affluent.

Secondly, canned bottles are also a convenience for daily frugality, and many families will not throw away glass bottles.

The last thing is the transportation conditions. It is the Chinese New Year and we are visiting relatives and friends. Canned food is both delicious and affordable, so it is very popular among employees.

Therefore, the cannery on the mountain also experienced big sales at this time.

Cooperate with the recycling station to achieve sales operations, not only as a trading point, but also as a vehicle delivery to the unit.

Shen Guodong was busy for several days and finally completed this project.

"Is everything okay on the mountain?"

He went there frequently, twice a day, so Li Xuewu naturally wanted to ask him.

Shen Guodong nodded, took a puff of cigarette and said: "My old uncle got a few yellow sheep, one of them was sent to the shipping warehouse, and the rest are in the warehouse."

"Is everything okay in the village?"

Li Xuewu pointed to the direction of the reverse chamber and walked with him into the courtyard.

Shen Guodong turned around and gave the boys a few words, asked them to drive the car into the garage, and then followed him.

"How could it be bad? Other communes are short of food and money, but the Red Star Commune is living a good life."

He flicked the cigarette ashes on his hand and said with a smile: "There are more young men getting married this year than in previous years."

Li Xuewu turned around and smiled, this is really interesting.

Hongxing Commune is located in the mountains, and girls have always been married off. Who would be willing to marry in the mountains?

But this year's situation is different, and there is really no room for politeness.

Who would have thought that a place with extremely inconvenient transportation, with mountains to go up, mountains to go down, and mountains to go home, would actually have industry and commerce.

In particular, the arrival of thousands of people from the Weisan Regiment, together with the opening of the steel rolling mill training ground, has brought new hope for life to this isolated mountain village.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Of course, the road ahead is not smooth sailing, there are always bumps and tumbles.

For example, starting this summer, villagers who had spare money and went down the mountain brought back some "progressive" ideas.

Then someone had a crooked idea and wanted to seize Yin Mancang's management rights and launch a large-scale study activity.

What's the result?

Yin Mancang is not an easy person to talk to. His management has always been loud and kicking.

If you don't listen when I talk to you in a loud voice, you're in trouble.

After several falling accidents occurred in the village, this new idea completely stopped.

Because there are no more people to promote new ideas and compete for management rights, life naturally returns to normal.

Because of Yin Mancang's strict management, not only did every family in the village get money during the Chinese New Year this year, they also received full rations.

Even if the family has a large population and the food rations are not enough, they can be exchanged for food.

It’s the first time to celebrate the Year of Feast, and I don’t know how many people shed tears of excitement.

If you are smart and diligent at home, you can raise a few dogs, grow a yard of vegetables, and raise a dozen chickens, ducks, and geese.

The accumulated output in this year is enough to marry the eldest or second son of the family.

In these days, the family is not rich, and those who can really afford a hundred or ten yuan will be considered the richest man in the village.

After all, unlike workers who earn wages in the city, in the countryside, you can't see a dollar paycheck all year round.

A half-sized hunting dog costs ten yuan and can be sold in five or six months.

A dozen chickens cost another dozen or twenty yuan a year.

Summer vegetables are picked in season, sold in season, and replanted in season. Chinese cabbage, which is harvested in autumn, costs thirty or forty yuan a year.

Where does the money come from?

They were all saved by ordinary people scrimping and living frugally.

There are young men of eighteen or nineteen years old wandering around the house, so parents can't be anxious.

Now there is finally a way out. Hongxing Village was only busy for half a year last year, and the villagers have placed greater hopes on next year.

From the beginning of spring, chickens, ducks and goose eggs are hatched, and we start preparing dog rice seedlings to clear the yard for growing vegetables this year.

I can save up the money for my child's wedding in half a year, but if I work hard for a year, I won't be able to be popular.

Especially those who guard several factories and units. As long as people come, they will have active money.

Even in the middle of winter, when the snow closes the door, you can still make a living by repairing and repairing the training ground and doing some auxiliary work with leftover materials.

Ordinary people are always easy to be satisfied, especially in a state of comparison, they are more likely to gain joy.

Every family in the Red Star Commune earns extra money, and the production team's grain harvest is not delayed, so they are naturally well fed and clothed.

Marry a man, marry a man, dress and eat.

If these two problems can be solved, marrying a wife will certainly not be a problem.

Not all rural girls are as discerning as Qin Jingru.

Even Qin Jingru's father never thought that his daughter could marry into the city.

If you really want to find a son from the village chief's family, that's a long way to go.

In these days, some rural girls who marry into the city live a good life.

They are either for people with disabilities or for second marriages, or even those whose family conditions are very average.

It seems that there are very few people like Qin Jingru who marry into the city and become housekeepers' wives.

Her sister Qin Huairu is the normal way for a rural girl to marry into the city. She is abnormal.

In the words of people in their village, that's just bad luck.

Even her father himself had to admit that this girl was completely unlike him. She couldn't endure any hardship or endure any crime, so she was raised in the city.

This statement sounds a bit Versailles, but it truly reflects the gap between urban and rural life.

"What are you looking at me like?"

In the west room, Li Xuewu held the kang mat with his hands and sat leaning against the kang cabinet. Seeing that He Yuyu didn't look at him well when he entered the room, he asked with a smile.

He Yuyu snorted with his nose, picked up the clothes on the kang and turned around to go out.

Silly Zhu then walked in and looked at his sister who left angrily, with a strange look in his eyes.

When he sat down next to the kang, he held his hands, wiped his apron, and asked Li Xuewu softly: "What's wrong?"

"You asked me?"

Li Xuewu replied somewhat speechlessly: "I asked who to go with!"

"Ha~"

Silly Zhu shook his head helplessly and said: "Let me tell you something."

He poked Li Xuewu and whispered: "The rain seems to have hit the target."

"Yeah, that's a good thing!"

Li Xuewu was really happy for him, which was a piece of Si Zhu's heart.

Silly Zhu couldn't be happy, he grinned and sighed, glanced outside the door and said, "What's the matter? I haven't seen anyone, but I've learned to stay up all night."

"Hmm? When?"

Li Xuewu was stunned for a moment and said, "Is it possible that we already have a close relationship?"

"That's what I'm saying!"

Silly Zhu wilted his buttocks, sat on the kang and lowered his head and said: "If you are really a good partner, then make a decision quickly and do whatever you want."

"This hasn't happened yet, so I stayed up all night and told you to go out..."

He took a cautious look outside. They were busy at the moment and no one came in. Then he whispered: "What if it's not suitable?"

"Don't worry about how old she is."

Li Xuewu comforted him: "Maybe she has her own thoughts, and you can still control her for the rest of her life?"

After saying that, he handed him a cigarette and said, "Let's talk to Yuyu. We are not three-year-olds anymore. Why don't we two understand each other?"

"last week"

Silly Zhu took the cigarette, raised his eyebrows and said, "Didn't I drink too much? I didn't see her when I got up in the morning!"

"on Monday!"

He put the cigarette in his mouth and said: "I saw her in the cafeteria at noon. I asked her what she was doing but she didn't say anything. I didn't see anyone all night!"
