After returning home, Li Wen continued his New Year life, only occasionally talking to county leaders.

Li Wen really likes this era. People don't have to catch up with time. Seeing that the Lantern Festival will be here in four or five days, the villagers are still celebrating the New Year.

The countryside is not like the city. Work starts on the second or third day of the lunar month. Farmers' job is to farm. The New Year has just ended and the ground is still frozen, so there is little farm work.

Even if there is occasional farm work, work points are earned by taking turns according to households. Most of the rest, except for the men tied to brooms, sit in groups on the wall to bask in the sun, or watch TV in the brigade headquarters.

"Xiao Wen, the land for building a factory in the village has been planned. It is on the dry land at the entrance of the village. Let's go and have a look." Li Wen was sunbathing at the door that day, and his father Li Deyou rushed back from the brigade headquarters and said.

"Oh! That piece of land is nice. It's far away from the village and there's no yield from farming. It's very suitable for building a factory." Li Wen also agreed after hearing this.

When the father and son arrived at the entrance of the village, the village cadre and a dozen villagers were preparing to burn the wasteland. At this time, everyone was helping to pull rapeseed in the field.

The dry land at the entrance of Sanxing Village covers about ten acres. Because the terrain is high and watering is difficult, the village has designated it as private land.

Because of the inconvenience of watering, the more than ten acres of land are usually used by members to grow vegetables and are left unused in winter.

Of course, there are also some hard-working people who have planted rapeseed in the fields. If they work harder after the new year and carry more water, they can harvest more than ten kilograms of rapeseed from their own land, whether they make oil for themselves or sell it for money.

All are considerable incomes.

Now the village is building a factory, so these rapeseeds cannot be kept. However, if you pull them out, you can take them home and make them into vegetables. This is a comfort to these members of the community in this season when there is no green vegetables.

However, these households of villagers will not suffer losses, and the brigade will definitely give them some compensation. As for who dares to try to stop him? That does not exist, otherwise the brigade cadres will use big sticks to teach them how to be a new person in minutes.

After pulling out the rapeseed, four or five villagers gathered around and started taking out matches to burn the waste.

In the first month of the year, it is the period when the weather is dry. When the fire is turned on, more than ten acres of thigh-high weeds quickly burn with a blast.

After the weeds were burned out, the two hired architects began to draw the lines.

"Xiao Wen, how is this land? Is it enough?" the village cadre asked with a smile.

"Okay, nearly twenty acres of land is enough for the early stage." Li Wen looked at the excited village cadres and nodded.

On the second day, as the captain shouted from the loudspeaker, the entire Sanxing Village began to move.

Today, except for children under eight years old and really old people, all the village members came to the entrance of the village to prepare for the factory. Li Wen had not seen thousands of men, women, old and children working together for a long time. Today, when he saw it,

Still a little moved.

Although the wasteland was burned yesterday and the ground was much softer, it was still relatively hard. At this time, the charm of machinery was revealed.

Although there were no bulldozers or excavators at this time, there were agricultural machinery in Sanxing Village.

I saw two tractors dragging the rotary tiller roaring forward. The originally frozen ground immediately became soft, and then thousands of commune members followed behind and started shoveling the soil.

Thousands of members worked hard, and in just one day, the factory site was leveled, and even the foundation and the road leading to the village entrance were dug.

“The power of the people is still great!”

The county leaders who came to inspect looked at the site where the foundation had been dug and said with emotion.

After the inspection, the county leaders did not withhold the money. After all, it was the start-up capital donated by Li Wen to the village. They allocated funds to the village on the spot to start purchasing construction materials.

Six or seven tractors from Sanxing Village pulled 200,000 to 300,000 bricks to the site in one day, and the construction of the factory in Sanxing Village began with great fanfare.

There are good things and bad things, and having a job as a worker these days is a privilege.

In the past two days, because they knew that a factory was going to be built in Sanxing Village, relatives and friends of members of Sanxing Village in Shiliba Village almost turned over the road in Sanxing Village.

Of course, the same goes for Li Wen's family in the past few days. I don't know which village cadre or county or township leader was the loudmouth who spread the word about Li Wen's donation. Mr. Li has also been "very lively" these past few days.

In the past few days, Li Wen was having a very bad time at home. All kinds of distant relatives came to his door, first begging, and then threatening him in the name of relatives. There were even some distant relatives who stayed away during the New Year and made rude remarks.

In order not to embarrass his parents and grandma, Li Wen has been hiding outside for the past few days. He only went back at night, and was blocked by several relatives.

Most of these people are grandma, father or mother's aunts, uncles, aunts and other cousins.

The parents couldn't open their mouths, it was too difficult. Li Wen couldn't speak too harshly, so he had to spend money to avoid disaster and sent some expensive gifts away.

Within a few days, Li Wen, who was not good at dealing with relatives, suffered from a severe headache.

"Grandma, Dad, Mom, I'm going to leave as soon as the Lantern Festival is over tomorrow. I can't leave Xiang Island for too long." Li Wen said to several elders.

"Is it because your relatives are looking for help from our house these days and you don't want to stay anymore? If so, I will kick out whoever comes here tomorrow." Wang Chunmei said with an ugly face.

"Mom, it doesn't matter. The work over there started in full swing after the Lantern Festival. Thousands of people in the company and factory rely on me for food! If I go back, it will be bad if something goes wrong in the company." Li Wen quickly waved his hand to explain.

"Okay, my career is more important." Li Deyou lit a cigarette and took a deep breath and said.

"Well! You damn ghost, you don't care about the baby at all. My baby has been away for several years, and he has only been home for a few days and is about to leave again." Wang Chunmei said with tears streaming down her face.

"Mom, why are you crying? It's not good for your health." Li Wen put his arm around his mother's shoulders and comforted her.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, no one in Sanxing Village went to work. Like the members of other villages, they all spent the last day of the New Year at home.

After the Lantern Festival, the feeling of the New Year is completely gone, and it also tells people that rest has stopped and the work of the year will officially begin.

It's past five o'clock in the evening, and the sky has darkened. The doorways of every household in Sanxing Village are already piled with wheat straw or corn stalks.

I don’t know whose house’s cannon fired first, but at the moment when the cannon sounded, every household seemed to have made an appointment, started to fire off the cannon, and then lit the firewood pile at the door.

At this time, whose door has the most people, it proves that this family is a good person in the village, or has good luck.

The most people in the village are those who cross the fire in front of the cadres' or workers' families. Naturally, Li Wen's family does not give in. There is an endless stream of people who cross the fire in front of the house to get good luck.

Li Wen looked at the fire in front of his house. As the corn was fully burned, the flames jumped up to two or three meters high. He rushed over first.

"Whoa!"

Feeling his cheeks burning, Li Wen had already rushed to the crowd outside the flames and was pulled by the better crowd.

At this time, someone must direct everyone to step across the fire, so that everyone should step in one direction. Otherwise, two people walking in opposite directions may easily collide and fall into the fire.
Chapter completed!
