6: Start planning
When Song Yunping heard her father's words, she suddenly had a flash of surprise on her face. She raised her head and looked at her father without saying a word, but just stood there.
Song's father knocked on the gun and sighed deeply.
"I have heard of Lei Dongbao from Xiao Lei's family. He just returned from the army this year. He has a good background and is still a party member. Now he is just appointed as the deputy branch secretary of the brigade by their commune. Pingping, Lei Dongbao is destined to be a member of our family in the future. If you are with him, there will definitely be no good results in the end. It will also be disliked by people around you. Your reputation was not good at that time!"
After saying this, the sorrow on Song's father's face became more and more intense. His experience when he was young made Song's father act cautiously throughout his life, for fear of taking any handle for others, and for fear that a little fluctuation would cause a catastrophe to his family.
People often say that father and son are united, and Song’s father’s cautious character was also passed on to his son Song Yunhui. When Song Yunhui was a child, he hated his father for giving birth to such a family.
So he swore since he was a child that he must change the fate of his family, so he worked hard to study hard and strived to be the first in everything. His belief was that as long as he did not make mistakes, others could not use mistakes as a mistake. Only by doing everything right in this life can he move forward in this life.
This personality was later transplanted into his work. No matter any minor problems at work, he tried to be the most perfect and adopt the most correct solution. Unfortunately, it took many years before Song Yunhui realized that life is not only right or wrong, but people's hearts are often more important than right or wrong.
With this kind of personality, he offended many people at work and suffered countless losses. All the lessons were accumulated from the losses again and again.
Song Yunping did not inherit this character. She only inherited her mother's tenacious spirit. After listening to her father's words, the flush on Song Yunping's face slowly faded, and a hint of perseverance appeared. She raised her head, fell in love with her father, and said in a confessional tone.
"Dad, I believe that Lei Dongbao is a good man. He has a different temperament from other men. His excellence is very attractive to me. I will consider it clearly before I agree with the concern between us. It is too early for us to say this. I will definitely take my lifelong event seriously. I hope you can make your own choice for me!"
Song's father glanced at Song Yunping, and did not say anything else. He didn't know whether he agreed with Song Yunping's words or wanted to protest silently. At this time, his mother walked to the father and daughter with a bowl of vegetables. She glanced at the father and daughter, put the fish-boiled tofu made by Lei Dongbao in front of Song's father, and then said.
"The father of the child, Pingping reads so many books, and she will have her own judgment. Now Xiaohui is in college, and our family is not worse than others. Haven't you heard Xiaohui say that last time she wrote a letter? The problem of our family's hat removal will be solved soon. By then, our family will be innocent. Pingping is so outstanding, why can't we, the children, live a happy life, is it the most concerned thing for us parents. Children should choose their own happiness, are you still unhappy?"
Song's father sighed and put down his cigarette gun, which was considered as accustomed to this matter. He picked up the bowls and chopsticks and started eating. He just picked up a piece of tofu and put it in his mouth. After chewing it for a few times, Song's father was stunned. He looked down at the plate of fish-boiled tofu. He was silent for two seconds before he continued to chew.
When Song's mother saw this expression from Song's father, she asked in confusion.
"What's wrong? Isn't it new?"
Song's father shook his head, looked at Song Yunping, and pointed to the plate and said.
"Pingping, is this dish made by Lei Dongbao?"
Song Yunping was still immersed in her thoughts. When her father asked her, she quickly came to her senses, nodded and said.
"Dad, does the taste suit your taste? I really like this dish!"
Song's father nodded and said with a rare smile.
"This Lei Dongbao is indeed very excellent. With this skill, you can go to the restaurant to cook. This simple fish-boiled tofu is fresher than others. It's not ordinary! There is a faint sweet fragrance here, which is really not ordinary!"
Song’s father’s praise finally made Song Yunping feel much happier, and he quickly smiled and asked his mother to taste it.
Song's mother was moved when she was said, so she picked up a piece of fish, put it gently into her mouth, and chewed it slowly. After a while, she nodded, looked at Song Yunping and asked.
"Pingping, this Lei Dongbao is good. Mom supports you. We Pingping should catch such a capable man. I just saw that the table in the inner room was also repaired by Lei Dongbao, right?"
With encouragement from her mother, Song Yunping nodded immediately and began to chatter and tell all of Lei Dongbao's actions today. Of course, Song Yunping didn't dare to say anything about Lei Dongbao's embrace of her in the end.
After hearing Lei Dongbao's spirited appearance as his daughter talked about, Song's father and Song's mother looked at each other and saw the mixed feelings in each other's eyes. It seemed that the daughter had obviously fallen into it.
After dinner, Song's mother packed the table and started washing dishes. Song's father looked at the door, finally sighed in his heart, and slowly spoke to Song Yunping.
"Pingping, if you have time, ask Lei Dongbao to come for a meal and we will meet you!"
When my father said this, he obviously had already begun to let go. Song Yunping nodded happily.
Lei Dongbao returned to Xiaolei Village, returned the bicycle to the secretary's uncle, and then returned home, began to clean up the family affairs and make up for it.
This home can really be described as a home with only a wall. The bumpy floor on the ground is trampled all year round, making the soil on the ground turn black. There are also several mouse holes as big as bowls of rats on the surrounding earth walls. In the winter, air leaks everywhere, and there is no heat in the house at night.
I will definitely get through the matter with Song Yunping as soon as possible and marry someone in the house. I really have no shame to see anyone. Although I have made do with it for the time being, I can't let Pingping enter the house and freeze!
Lei Dongbao doesn’t want to tell me about the matter with Song Yunping now. I guess I’ll talk about it now. The whole village’s old and young women will know about it tomorrow. My mother’s mouth will be uncomfortable if she doesn’t want to beep for the whole day. This matter is kept confidential for the time being.
The next day, Lei Dongbao came directly to the brigade headquarters at the entrance of the village. The Xiao Lei family used to be in charge of the old branch secretary. This management has been in charge for decades. The Xiao Lei family has developed into what they are today. The old branch secretary has an unshirkable responsibility, but can it be blamed for the old branch secretary?
No, the old branch secretary has seen more people and things than Lei Dongbao has eaten in his life. He once wanted to lead the villagers to become rich, including building brick kilns and other things. He has done all of them.
But in a few years, the repeated waves made the old branch secretary exhausted. Ten years ago, he took the lead in sealing the brick kiln. Only by doing less and not doing so, he would not make mistakes. This is the idea of many people in this era.
But as the surrounding village brigades gradually developed, the Xiao Lei family was still standing still and even retreated. As the old secretary of the brigade branch secretary, he was also anxious.
After Lei Dongbao returned from the army, the old branch secretary immediately went to the commune to report, asking Lei Dongbao to serve as deputy secretary so that he could take him to the position later, because the old secretary knew in his heart that only young people like Lei Dongbao who are not afraid of heaven or earth and dare to fight and do can lead the Xiao Lei family to become rich.
Lei Dongbao entered the brigade headquarters and saw only a four-eyed boy writing something inside. He frowned and didn't say nonsense. He walked directly to the radio microphone, turned on the radio, and spoke directly.
"I am Lei Dongbao. I am now asking that young men over 20 years old and unmarried in the village brigade come to the brigade headquarters for a meeting as soon as possible. I will only say this notice once, only say it once. If you don't come, you will be responsible for the consequences!"
After saying that, Lei Dongbao turned off the radio and looked up at the four-eyed person opposite him looking at him curiously. Lei Dongbao thought about it, but still felt a little worried, so he walked to Siyan and said.
"I'm going to have a meeting later. Now you can gather people for me and call all the bachelors over 20 in the village to the brigade headquarters for a meeting!"
Siyan is the accountant of the brigade. He usually has a lot of power in the village and bullies the weak and fears the strong. He looked up at the somewhat unfamiliar deputy secretary in front of him, and wanted to make a perfunctory decision and give the other party a warning first. After all, Siyan is the brigade's manager of the money.
Before he could speak, Lei Dongbao opposite him said directly.
"Siyan, I'll give you half an hour. After half an hour, I haven't done this. Get out of here, do you understand?"
When Siyan heard this, her face changed quickly. She held her glasses, smiled and nodded, and ran out.
Lei Dongbao snorted, started to get himself a cup of tea, found a chair to sit down, and began to take out the village map and study it.
In addition to setting up a brick kiln, the old branch secretary also asked him to do one thing, that is, the "coin-production contract responsibility system" that has been widely circulated recently by the country!
This year is the end of 1978, and the policy of dividing land to households has also begun to be implemented nationwide. However, due to various problems, no one dares to publicize this matter. Therefore, many local managers have obtained policy documents but do not know how to implement them, for fear that they will overdo it and cause trouble.
The Xiao Lei family also got this document long ago. The old branch secretary didn't understand what it meant, so he wanted to throw this burden to Lei Dongbao. After all, Lei Dongbao dared to do it young. Let Lei Dongbao do it and check it behind the scenes. This is the best way.
When Lei Dongbao got this document, he did not start to measure the land in a hurry like the original work and began to divide the production into households. A few months later, the above policy was clear, and it would be the same if he did it at that time. There is no need to be the limelight now.
There are many ways to make a fortune in the Little Lei family. At this time, Lei Dongbao, in the original work, led everyone to build brick factories, prefabricated board factories, construction teams, and later wire factories that were established against the public. In fact, Lei Dongbao could also follow the old path of the original work, but he was a little doubtful.
Building brick factories, prefabricated panel factories, and construction teams can actually do these. After all, there are ready-made brick kilns, and the other items are not technically difficult. They can be solved simply. They are nothing more than cement problems. These original works have answers to the solution.
As for the wire factory with technical content, Leidongbao has not considered that much yet. Let’s take a look at it later. Instead of running a wire factory, it should run a more practical enterprise.
In the rural areas of this era, if you want to run a business, you can only run some simple and low-tech enterprises. Many famous enterprises in later generations have developed step by step from small township enterprises.
