Agricultural giant since 1983

Chapter 4 East, West, North and South Middle School, Get Rich to Guangdong

The Li family now lives in a typical northern rural house. In front of the house is a flat sun-drying field, the loess is solidly ground with stones.

The sun-drying yard is very useful. When the wheat is ripe, it is threshed and dried here; jobs such as killing pigs are also done on the sun-drying yard;

This kind of place cannot accumulate water, so the sun-drying field is usually higher than the cultivated land, and there is a waist-high stone ridge. A row of fruit trees are planted under the stone ridge. In addition to the two apricot trees at the intersection, there are also apple trees, peach trees, Plum trees, jujube trees, walnut trees and other common fruit trees in the north.

Peach three plum four apricot five years, want to eat walnut but never meet, this walnut tree was planted by Li Lei's grandfather back then, now the walnut harvest is abundant every year, but the old man is gone.

There is another stone ridge at the end of the grain drying field, and above the stone ridge is the house, which is also for moisture protection.

The Li family's economic situation in Erdaowan Village is relatively good. There are three and a half tile-roofed houses in a row. next to each other.

Li Lei's mother, Wang Fenglian, was feeding the pigs. When she saw them coming back, she quickly poured all the pig food into the pig trough and greeted them, "Boy Lei, why are you back?"

Her face was full of tension. Recently, the village was full of gossip, saying that something happened to her baby. Today, seeing the child coming back with the bedroll on his back, can you not be worried?

"It doesn't matter, it's just a little thing, it will be fine after a while! You go to cook first, and then talk slowly while eating!" Li Qiyun comforted.

"That's good, that's good!" Li Qiyun had great prestige, and as soon as he spoke, Wang Fenglian felt relieved, and hurried to the kitchen to work.

Li Lei followed Li Qiyun back to the house. The father and son cleaned up his bedroom together. As soon as they finished their work and returned to the main room, Wang Fenglian brought out a plate of fried peanuts and a plate of pickled peppers. good!"

The father and son continued to chat about what happened just now while drinking, and when Wang Fenglian prepared the meal and brought it over, the matter was almost finished.

According to the information disclosed by Li Lei and combined with his own understanding, Li Qiyun made a judgment, "Recently, young cadres and higher education are being advocated. Xing Shuwang is likely to be promoted to the deputy county to replace Lao Fang who was in charge of agriculture. Lao Fang is definitely not willing to retire. You are in the second line, so you will definitely cause some trouble for Xing Shuwang, and this matter is the reason for you to send it up!"

"But don't worry, Xing Shuwang is not without roots. He can't escape as a deputy county. Once he gets up, you can go back to work! Maybe you can be transferred to the county government! We only have a few college student cadres in Heyang? Impossible to waste!"

Wang Fenglian has always believed in her man's judgment, and at last she was no longer worried, so she picked up a piece of chopsticks meat and put it into Li Lei's bowl, "It's good to take a break, you have been going to school for several years, and you don't have time to come back after work. Now I can finally stay at home for a while, and our family can be reunited."

"It's best to take advantage of this time to tell you a wife. Xinwang is only two months older than you, and the daughter-in-law is pregnant, so hurry up! Qiyun, do you have any suitable candidates?"

Wang Fenglian felt that it would be inappropriate to introduce a girl from the village to her child who had gone to university and became a national cadre. At least she had to find someone who had studied and had a formal job. How did she know such a girl in the village?
"Mom, I'll only stay at home for two days, and I'm going out the day after tomorrow." Hey, it's all been time-traveled, why can't I escape the marriage urge?
"Director Xing asked the baby to go to Shenzhen to learn something." Li Qiyun didn't say anything else, so as not to worry Wang Fenglian.

"Huh? Leaving so soon?" The child was about to leave as soon as he came back, and it was still so far away. The mother was both disappointed and worried.

"It's fine and I haven't gone out. Didn't he go to BJ with his classmates when he was in college? Nothing happened." Li Qiyun was also worried, but he didn't show it. Two pockets, separate money and whatnot."

Not long after dinner, relatives from the village came over one after another. These days, relatives are still very close. If something happens to the family, relatives will express their concern.

Li Qiyun didn't hide anything, and didn't finish the whole story. He told them the general situation. The second uncle Li Qisheng pondered for a while and asked, "Is this to let Leiwaer reflect for a while? Then he can go back to be a cadre?"

"If I want to say that there is nothing wrong with Lei Lei in this matter, someone must be jealous that Director Xing values ​​Lei Lei and does not want him to be promoted too quickly." The second uncle's children, Li Xinwang and Li Lei, have been playing since they were young, and they are older than their brothers. Dear, now that my younger brother has suffered a disadvantage, he is naturally angry as an older brother.

A dozen or so people huddled in the main room, comforting Li Lei, and scolding the leaders of the Agricultural Bureau and the county all over the place. The words of these people warmed the hearts of Li Lei's family.

Of course, this is also because of Li Qiyun's culture, high prestige, and decent behavior. If he changes to another family, this may not be the case.

After chatting until after eight o'clock, Li Qisheng stood up and said hello, "Okay, it's getting late, you guys rest! Xinwang, tomorrow you go to the river to catch some fish, and come to my house to drink in the evening!"

Li Lei got up early in the morning, picked up the things he bought in the county, and sat for a while from house to house. He was not at home all year round. Now that he came back, his relatives still had to move around.

In the afternoon, I went to the house of Li Qisheng, who is the secretary of the village party committee, to drink. I was so dizzy that I went to bed as soon as I got home. When I woke up, he should have left too.

Before leaving, Wang Fenglian asked ten thousand times, "I sewed a hidden pocket for you inside the shirt. There are ten yuan and some food stamps in it. The same goes for the underpants. If something happens, use the money to come back."

Li Qiyun sent him to the intersection, and waited until the bus came, "Remember the school phone number, after you settle down, call back, and your mother and I can rest assured."

"Well, I'll call you as soon as I arrive! Dad, then I'll go first. You and Mom will take care of yourself at home." Li Lei picked up his luggage and got into the car.

The car restarted and bumped forward all the way. After half an hour, it arrived at Heyang County, then transferred from the county to the provincial capital, and finally bought 47 tickets to Guangzhou at the provincial capital railway station.

In later generations, it only takes about six hours to go from the provincial capital to Guangzhou by high-speed rail, and it takes less than a day to go directly, but now it takes nearly 26 hours. If you change to other trips, the time will only be longer.

This train departed at four o'clock in the morning, and it was still early, so Li Lei went out for a walk, ate a bowl of braised noodles, and returned to the waiting room after six o'clock, where he found the waiting area for train No. 47.

There were still ten hours before driving, and the waiting room was already packed. After finally finding a place to sit down, I heard the two people next door chatting.

"Brother, where are you going?"

"East, west, north, south, Guangdong, I will go to Guangdong to make a fortune."
