Is this okay if I don’t continue to work? This is not something that the fourth master has the final say on his own. Damin and Sanling have to be called in to see how this matter should be handled. The fourth master took over at the beginning, but now
Who can accept that a good job is no longer available?
Damin didn't understand, "Go and mess around, it's January or 20! This is a large collective unit, and the country will never ignore it. After this difficult period, maybe it will be fine?"
Yes! Isn’t that what everyone thinks?
But these twenty yuan are really not enough to support the family.
So what should we do now? Only children can take over the classes of their parents, and no older brothers can take over the classes of their younger brothers.
The fourth master said, "Otherwise, I will be transferred to the warehouse and my eldest brother will take over my shift."
This is so determined that you don’t want to do it anymore!
Damin really doesn’t know what to say?
Qin Yindi was not happy and said to the people, "Guard the warehouse and get 20 yuan a month, 240 yuan a year. It's better to get you a donkey cart and sell vinegar on the donkey cart! We have more money."
Collect some persimmons and make vinegar at home! People’s vinegar is made by soaking it in acetic acid and water. Ours is persimmon vinegar. You can make five or six hundred by selling the vinegar for a year. Just replace it with wheat bran.
If we raise a few more pigs, we can make money by selling them at the end of the year."
Xiaotong knows how to make persimmon vinegar, and she can make it herself. It’s not difficult! Vinegar is something that every household can’t live without. It can be done by buying hundreds or ten jars, and after finishing the work at once, the remaining
Just sold.
It can’t be said that it’s hard work for him to go out. He just rides on a donkey cart and walks through the streets! Everyone in every village and town is familiar with collecting rabbits before. Even if he encounters local gangsters, are we afraid? Who doesn’t know that you are the fourth brother?
,right?
"I'm in charge of the land at home, and I can feed a few more pigs. I think it's right for the fourth child not to cling to twenty yuan and beg for food from the iron rice bowl, so why don't you let go?"
Damin said, "Look at what you can do. Persimmons are gone if you don't have them. Where can you get so many persimmons?"
Tongtong said, "Grains are okay, fruits are okay, even tomatoes are okay. Especially sweet potatoes, the vinegar brewed is not bad. I know how to brew it. Let's try brewing it this year. You will know it once you taste it.
Already."
Qin Yindi said to Damin, "You are really afraid of wolves and tigers in everything you do. If we don't have persimmons, we can't just plant them ourselves. It's not expensive to contract the land now, so contract more."
The land is all planted with persimmon trees. Just like the persimmons at our door, what kind of management is required? No management is needed! They will grow in three or two years..."
You can contract thirty or forty acres of not-so-good land for two hundred yuan. Persimmon trees and persimmon seedlings don’t cost much at all. It takes dozens of people to plant them in a day, and it’s going to be difficult for you.
Qin Yindi said, "As long as you know how to sell, it's fine. I don't care about the rest. I'm here!"
Okay! It can be sold! Is there anything that can’t be sold?
Sanling's thoughts were on the brick and tile factory, and he didn't want the twenty yuan.
So, Fourth Master resigned smoothly! Several colleagues were playing poker and putting stickers on their faces, but they were all stunned: "Quit? Quit?"
Yes! I quit.
One young man said, "Twenty a month means I won't starve to death. If there was any way, I wouldn't do it anymore."
After the Fourth Master left, Sister Zhang laughed and said, "The Fourth Master's wife's earnings are not even counted. He will have a wife to support him when he goes back. Who will support you when you go back?"
That’s right!
Everyone's understanding of Fourth Master's willful behavior is: He has a wife to support him, so what is he afraid of?
As for the Fourth Master, he was very interested. The first thing he did the next day was to take Tongtong with him to measure how big the reed field was.
Tongtong's stride was very standard. The fourth master used a ruler to measure it and stopped. It was better for Tongtong to do it. This place is just at the southwest corner of an intersection. The geographical location is really unique, with access from three directions.
Everyone in this town had to pass in front of the door. Moreover, after measuring it, Lin Yutong was surprised, "Sixty-seven and a half acres!" She pointed back, "There is a wild ditch behind. If it is expanded, there will be a
More than one hundred and forty acres.”
The only bad thing is that the terrain is too low! To fill this place up, a huge amount of earthwork is needed.
Fourth Master shook his head, "Don't rush, two acres of open space is enough to start with. Take your time!"
Then the two of them planned to clear out the two acres closest to the roadside first. While they were discussing, Jin Yin came leading Jin Mingming. Jin Mingming was holding twists in his hand, which he knew without asking, and went to a small store to buy snacks.
Jinyin said, "It's difficult to clean up the reeds. Once the roots multiply, they will grow into pieces... and they will sprout out as soon as spring comes. It will take several years to clean them out."
yes!
While the adults were discussing here, Jin Mingming suddenly tugged at the hem of her father's clothes and asked in a low voice: "The reed is gone...where did the bird go?"
The Fourth Master was stunned for a moment and glanced at this patch of reeds. Various common birds inhabit the densely packed reeds. Because few people enter here, the birds build their nests there with peace of mind. Don’t you mind?
Ask the children to run in here. No one knows where a snake will come out. What will happen if it bites?
But Jin Mingming must have gone in to play! Otherwise, how would she know there was a bird's nest inside? No matter how stupid a bird is, it would not build a nest outside.
After hearing this, Tongtong stared at him. He hid behind her father for a moment, and then secretly looked at his face.
The fourth master patted the child's hand and assured her, "I will definitely give the little bird a place to live."
Tongtong was not in a hurry to train the child. He and his fourth master took the child first and went around Weizi towards the wild ditch. After looking at the place, Lin Yutong thought it would be okay, "Look back and ask which brigade this area belongs to. Let's contract it."
Dig out the roots of the reeds and bury them here, and they will grow out in the next spring." In fact, the reeds have been multiplying from there to this side, and reeds have begun to grow sporadically around the ditch.
The fourth master explained to the child, "When the reeds arrive in autumn, it's time to harvest them! Cut them back and weave mats. The birds have also flown to the south. When they come back next year, the reeds there will have grown up. It's quieter there."
, more suitable for settling down.”
Then I learned that this stretch of wild ditch belonged to the commune. I spent another three thousand to contract that stretch of land from the commune for twenty years. After that, I could give priority to renewing the contract!
As for why I bought it, there is nothing to hide from people, it’s just that the birds need a habitat.
For Tongtong, this can be used to make a big deal. To revitalize the economy and increase development, the prerequisite must be harmony between man and nature.
Her articles are now specially commissioned and go through different channels. If the articles are good, they are often published first.
In this issue of Development Weekly, there is an article by Tong Tong. Since the sample issue is to be distributed, Lin Shuangchao will always see it first.
He is not in the provincial capital now, but in Pingzhou, where he is in charge of the economy and is the second-in-command in the region.
As soon as I entered the office, I was sent a sample magazine and a remittance slip.
I looked at the time and saw that it was not yet work time, so I took out the journal and found Xiaotong's article.
Previously, Xiaotong's articles revealed a bold reform idea, but this article is from the perspective of a little girl, writing about a reed forest, the birds in the reed forest, and the reed tree.
The factory that is about to be built in the forest... At the end of the article, she wrote that the reed forest has been cut and will be woven into various mats, while the children with braids are carefully making every bird's nest.
After collecting them, she wanted to plant another reed forest and fix the bird's nests one by one. The child said, we cannot demolish the birds' homes for the sake of our home.
Many of Xiaotong's articles are very in-depth. This is an article with a unique perspective and a bit of childishness. But the childishness reflects a big problem, that is, how to be in harmony with nature.
of getting along with each other.
The magazine was closed, and he put away the remittance slip first. Then he took out the lake filling and expansion plan handed in from the drawer, and did not move it for a long time.
This is a big deal! If it is corrected, future generations will benefit. If it is not corrected, it will cause endless harm.
While everyone was shouting for reform, she started to sound the alarm again.
Yes! This is a warning.
He planned to write a letter to Xiaotong in the evening. Her perspective could always inspire people.
Write the letter in the evening and give it to Wu Xiuzhen, "Send it back to Xiaotong tomorrow morning."
Is there something special?
No! Lin Shuangchao pinched his eyebrows and said, "This child... just caught up with those ten years! If she doesn't receive a good education, she can't even think about her future."
Wu Xiuzhen didn't take it seriously. He said yes! She said, "My little sister called home today and said that Sihai quit her job..."
Well! Lin Shuangchao nodded, "I know about this, Sihai called me. I think it's good for young people to have young people's ideas! The country has a heavy burden, and he would rather find his own way out than add to the burden. This is a good thing.
!Is this why my little sister called me?"
"No!" Wu Xiuzhen sat next to Lin Shuangchao and whispered, "It's a water conservancy station. It says it's short of a few water conservancy dispatchers, regular employees, and the benefits are pretty good! All three of my younger sister's children were selected...
…”
Lin Shuangchao suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Wu Xiuzhen sternly, "Water conservancy dispatching, is this a trivial matter? Not many people can compete for such a unit and such a position, so why did it fall to my nephew?
?”
They found me and took the initiative to help arrange it!
Lin Shuangchao directly interrupted the questioning and said, "Should I take the initiative to make the arrangement? I think the person who made the arrangement is not well-intentioned! This can't be done!" After saying that, he went straight to the phone to call the water conservancy department. Wu Xiuzhen gave it to her.
He held it back and said, "You can't even speak properly! This has already happened. If you do this suddenly, my little sister will definitely hold a grudge in her heart. Come back home again and cry to your mother.
The scene... made my mother feel uncomfortable... Why bother? I was just wondering if this matter could be dealt with later!"
No! You can't make a call like this! Wu Xiuzhen whispered, "I'll call Xiaotong tomorrow and ask Xiaotong and Sihai to handle the matter privately at home. That's okay."
Lin Shuangchao stopped talking, "Don't be confused about these things! Yulian is in kindergarten. I heard before that she was going to be transferred to the Education Bureau, but she clearly refused. In this regard, you are not as good as Yulian?"
"
Wu Xiuzhen rolled her eyes at him, Yu Lian is her daughter, she can say anything to her! But what should I say to your sister? "Old Lin, if you don't handle this well, getting scolded will be a trivial matter! The key is, do you kiss or not?"
Getting married, brother and sister turning against each other, uncle and nephew becoming enemies... what is our mother supposed to do?"
Lin Shuangchao took another letter from Wu Xiuzhen and wrote another page.
When Lin Yutong received the letter, he only felt that the full page was full of those four words - it is difficult to be an honest official.
