It is not easy for Zhang Shanhai to subcontract the lime factory. First of all, Zhang Shanhai is too young, and neither the brigade cadres nor Zhao Tiezhu can agree with it. Where so much money is spent every year, it is not something that a child can decide.
things.
"I don't dare to subcontract this to you. What if your parents don't agree? In the end, don't you have to ask your parents for money? Don't look at how big those two stone mountains are. The one on top can be used as a bench.
There are no trees. If I had not thought that the stones on this mountain could be used to reduce lime, I would not have contracted this lime factory! The quality of the stones on the rocky mountain on the east slope is not good at all. The quality of the burned lime is very different.
It has to die. Otherwise, the brigade will stop the lime factory?" Zhao Tiezhu said...
Zhang Jingxian also said, "Shanhai, there's no rush. Go back and talk to your parents and ask them first. I'm afraid the brigade won't talk to a kid like you about contracting a lime plant."
Zhang Shanhai scratched his head. Although he never felt that he was a child, he couldn't change it in the eyes of others.
After returning home, Zhang Yunyang and He Ni reacted extremely violently when they mentioned this matter.
"You have nothing to do when you are full, so why are you contracting a lime plant? Are you planning to be the director of the lime plant in Caiyun Brigade? Don't you plan to return to SH?" Zhang Yunyang asked.
"I told you that you wouldn't understand either," Zhang Shanhai said.
"Hey, you brat, you really think you are no longer as old as your parents now that you are strong-boned, don't you?" He Ni was a little unhappy when she saw that Zhang Shanhai was not nice to her husband.
"Mom, let me tell you, I contracted that lime plant mainly for the stones on the mountain. It would be a pity if the stones on the mountain were used to burn lime!" Zhang Shanhai said.
"Then you can explain the reason clearly to your father and mother!" He Ni said.
"Of course the stone mountain on the east slope is not good for burning lime. But there is jade in the stone. The jade shop sells it at a very high price. Well, these jade charms were picked up from the stream coming down from the mountain.
Aren't the stones in these streams washed down from the stone mountains of Caiyun Mountain?" Zhang Shanhai had no choice but to tell the real reason.
Jade can be found in ditches. Although the quality is usually not very good, it is still much more valuable than burning lime. Zhang Shanhai has long known that there is jade in the mountains. But he was in a hurry at that time and later forgot about it.
Fortunately, the quality of the stone used to burn lime was very poor, otherwise it would have been seriously damaged. Zhang Shanhai felt a little heartbroken when he saw it.
"Emerald?" He Ni asked.
"That's right. If you don't believe me, I'll take you to the mountain to have a look tomorrow." Zhang Shanhai said.
"I can't go tomorrow. We have to go back tomorrow. As for grandma, your aunt said she would come and take care of her," Zhang Yunyang said.
"Shanhai, don't mess with those things. The only thing you should do is go to school and get admitted to university in the future. We haven't had a single college student in Zhangjiashan. You are the number one scholar now, but it won't be easy to get admitted to university in the future.
What's the matter? Tomorrow, you go back to Jiu with your father and mother. Don't worry about grandma, grandma's body is very strong - I'm afraid she won't die after a while." Liu Xiulin said.
Zhang Yunyang said, "Shanhai, is the jade you just mentioned worth?"
"Of course it's valuable. When I was in sh, it was always worth buying a piece of jade with better quality. I think, if we let the brigade give that stone mountain to that idiot now, what a pity it would be if it were all reduced to lime? So I think
First, contract out the lime factory, and then ask the people from the brigade to quarry the stones for me. I will process the stones and then sell them. It will also give people in our village another way to make money." Zhang Shanhai said.
.
"Can't you just tell the brigade that there is jade in this mountain?" Zhang Yunyang is a very upright person.
"That won't work. I have great use for these emeralds. No matter what, in the future I will make money to build roads and schools for the Caiyun Brigade." Zhang Shanhai said.
"Then in the future, if the people in the village find out what you did, why don't they stab our family in the back?" Zhang Yunyang shook his head, he really couldn't do such a thing.
"I knew this would happen if I told you. If I didn't tell them, they would still want to use it to burn lime! Besides, I don't know how much jade there is in the mountains and what the quality is. If they are all mixed jade,
It's not much different from a stone." Zhang Shanhai said.
"Yunyang, you go to the brigade this afternoon and ask if you can transfer the lime factory. Shan Hai discovered this jade thing. I think Shan Hai knows how to deal with it. Shan Hai, right?" He Ni said.
"No, mother-in-law, is this appropriate?" Zhang Yunyang said.
"What's inappropriate? Without our grandson, it would be a stone that can't even be used to burn lime. Now that my grandson finds out that the thing is valuable, it should be returned to the public family. Where can such a thing happen? As for my grandson making money in the future
Whether the money wants to build roads or schools, I can only let my grandson decide." Liu Xiulin said.
Liu Xiulin opened the door. Zhang Yunyang couldn't refute, "Okay, mother, I'll go talk to Secretary Zhao in the afternoon and see if we can subcontract the lime factory. But Shanhai has to come with me, and I have to find an excuse no matter what.
, otherwise others will still be suspicious of us."
Someone is willing to take over this hot potato, and Zhao Quanhan is naturally eager to do so. He doesn't need to be a villain.
Zhao Tiezhu still accepted Zhang Shanhai's life-saving grace. Originally, he didn't even want to ask Zhang Shanhai for the two hundred yuan deposit, but Zhang Shanhai didn't want to owe anyone else. He even gave Zhao Tiezhu the money for road construction.
Got him.
"Although you two are both state cadres and earn a lot of money a month, these five hundred yuan a year are still a lot of money. You are still working hard now, so what's the use of contracting this lime plant?
What?" Zhao Quanhan was very interested.
"Grandpa Zhao, it's like this. I prefer carving, and I need a lot of stones to practice my skills. The stones on our rocky mountain are just right. If these stones are carved well, they can be sold for some money. If they are used to burn lime, it will be a waste."
Zhang Shanhai said.
"Oh, I've heard before that Zhang Yicheng's grandson from Zhangjiashan is very clever, and now it seems that he is indeed well-deserved. He is a sculptor at a young age. He is an incredible artist," said Zhao Quanhan.
Zhang Shanhai dispelled Zhao Quanhan's doubts with just a few words. Zhao Quanhan immediately voided Zhao Tiezhu's contract and signed a new contract with Zhang Yunyang.
Although the lime plant was contracted, Zhang Yunyang and He Ni were still prepared to return home the next day. Both of them are very responsible people. Now that things at home have stabilized, the two old people are urging them every day.
Naturally, it was difficult for the two of them to sit still. But Zhang Shanhai didn't expect to go back so soon. He finally got the lime factory. Naturally, he had to investigate it carefully. Just as it happened, Zhao Tiezhu had already prepared it a few days ago.
There were a lot of stones that were going to be used to burn lime. Zhang Shanhai wanted to see if there was any jade hidden in them and what the quality of the jade was.
"No, you are still in school! Look at you, how many days have you been in school this semester? No matter what, you are still a student, so you should focus on studying, right?" Zhang Yunyang became angry when he heard this.
He Ni was very supportive of Zhang Yunyang's words, "We are a little more relaxed with you. I used to think that you were a smart child who could handle things on your own, but this semester, Teacher Yang once said that you were not in school for more than half of the time.
We used to allow you to do some things of your own, but we never said that you don't have to go to school and completely abandon your studies. Do you see how much hope your grandparents have for you? If you don't work hard, can you bear to live up to it?
What do your grandparents expect from you?"
"Okay, okay, I'm scared of you two. I'll go back with you tomorrow. Okay?" Zhang Shanhai said.
Zhang Shanhai hurried to the lime factory. A large number of stones were piled up outside the lime factory. Not every stone could contain jade. There were piles of stones there, and Zhang Shanhai only found one after searching for a long time.
Two pieces with a little bit of jade. Zhang Shanhai suddenly thought of the possibility of winning.
He has studied chemistry. The stones used to burn lime are all limestone in the end. The main component is calcium carbonate, and the main component of jade is obviously not, so when the lime is burned, it becomes impurities. So it is very likely to be directly discarded in the
quarry.
Zhang Shanhai hurried to the quarry and found a pile of rubble piled in a corner of the quarry. Zhang Shanhai found a lot of jadeite in the rubble, and the jadeite inside was in very good condition.
Zhang Shanhai was busy until it was almost dark, then he searched the quarry and found all the jade stones inside.
In the evening, He Ni kept telling her mother-in-law, "Mom, don't be reluctant to eat. Keep everything for us. Eat more if you can. As for money, you must also be willing to spend it. Yunyang and I have both.
Shanhai doesn't spend much of our money on work. This guy has more money than we do. He just doesn't care about studying. If you have anything to do, let me go with the Red Army."
"I know, I know. You do your job well, and the old people don't have to worry about you. If you young people do your work well, we old people will feel at ease at home. You must take good care of the mountains and seas. My grandson is so smart, don't delay him.
." Liu Xiulin said.
"Grandma, you see, I'm such an old person and can take care of myself. I will definitely come back during the winter vacation. Grandma, if you want something to eat, just go ahead and I will bring it back to you from Jiujiu." Zhang Shanhai said.
"The things in the city are so precious. What should I buy? I don't lack anything at home, but I'm just a college student!" Zhang Yicheng said.
Zhang Yicheng doesn't talk much. When he talks, he seems to be angry with someone.
When the gastrodia elata dawned, Liu Xiulin struggled to get up and prepare food for Zhang Shanhai's family. However, Zhang Shanhai's aunt Zhang Wanmei was frightened.
"Mom, don't scare me. You said if you hurt your bones again, my whole family won't be able to leave. You go and lie down. I'll prepare it for you." Zhang Wanmei said.
Knowing that Zhang Shanhai and his family were going back to the city, many people from Zhangjiashan sent a lot of things, some of them as early as evening.
Some were delivered early in the morning. When Zhang Shanhai left the cooked eggs, they were still warm when he touched them.
