Era: 1979 From mountain man to richest man

Chapter 140 Song Chaoyang is righteous! The whole family was shocked by the huge sum of money and the nephew’s ambition.
Starting from the north of the county seat and passing by the Wangjia River Dam, Song Chaoyang clearly saw that the river level had risen a lot.

The beach where Jiang Xiaowei and Sha Dejun were shot was now completely submerged in the river.

There was some clear river water before, but now it is turbid with a lot of sediment.

From time to time, some driftwood brought down by the flood will appear.

The sand dredger working in the middle of the river has now arrived at the river.

Too fast water also affects their work.

There are many children on both sides of the river holding various tools to catch fish.

The large amount of sediment in the upper reaches also brings rich nutrients, making the fish in this river particularly active.

Song Chaoyang saw several children who had made a bunch of large and small fish and put them on the river beach.

These children grew up by the river, and the adults were not afraid of them being washed away by the river.

They started talking about it:
"A few years ago, there were heavy rains upstream, and the water rose downstream of us."

"Damn it, don't flood the bridge when you come back later. It will be embarrassing if you can't go back."

After saying this, he suddenly realized:
"Oh, I see, you must have gone to the countryside to write articles."

"Hehe... Ouch, Wo Ri..." The driver just smiled, but the vehicle jolted and he almost bit his tongue.

"Hey, are you making us happy? You look like you belong to the unit."

Seeing that Song Chaoyang was silent, the driver smiled and said:
"How's it going? I guess you're right."

"Are you from a rural area?" The driver's eyes widened in disbelief.

"..." Song Chaoyang was speechless.

Song Chaoyang greeted the workers at his construction site.

"I'll be right back after unloading the car. It's not even two o'clock."

"Don't call me that, I'm not a leader." Song Chaoyang glanced at him and replied:
"If I don't come back, my home will be in Qingsong Bay."

When the car arrived at the roadside of Song Chaoyang's new house, those who were working on the construction site looked at the people sitting in the car.

The two porters who were chatting with the driver before now also paid attention to the situation on the river.

When the truck appeared on the plowing road, it quickly attracted everyone's attention.

From a distance, Song Chaoyang saw the bustling scene of his own construction site in the fields.

The driver waved his hand and said nonchalantly:

After about an hour, the Qingsongwan Brigade was finally in sight.

Song Chaoyang didn't want to explain anymore. He gave a thumbs up and said to the driver:

"Don't be stunned, come and help us unload the car."

Listening to what the two people said, the driver said:
"Don't worry, if the bridge is really flooded, there won't be a ferry."

"Okay, okay, it's not as mysterious as you said."

"The water is rising over the Wangjia River Dam, and the driver is still waiting to go back before the water rises!"

"It was completely flooded across the bridge."

"People can pass, but cars can't." The porter took over the conversation and said.

Song Chaoyang nodded:
"Yes, these rapeseed oil residues are bought for our brigade."

"Comrade driver, you are indeed well-informed and have a sharp eye. You can see people very accurately."

The other two porters were also almost thrown out.

"This road is really bad."

"We only have more than an hour to go."

Song Chaoyang had been prepared for it and firmly grabbed his seat in advance without wavering.

So the bumps have been reduced a lot.

After all, he didn’t care what the two porters said, but asked Song Chaoyang:
"By the way, little leader, will you come back with me?"

"If the water grows up, the bridge deck is still far away."

"If it had reached the bridge level by then, then I would have accepted it."

"Sit tight." The driver shouted and then started driving seriously, no longer talking to Song Chaoyang and the others.

Although the driver was panicked at first, it was clear from the rest of the journey that he was definitely experienced.

"The water rise this time seems to be higher than last year. I don't know if it will rise again in the future?"

In addition, the passing ability of large trucks is inherently stronger than that of jeeps.

After speaking, he also revealed:
"I heard from the doorman before that you are from Oriental Publishing House."

When the driver heard this, he suddenly said happily:

"I think even if it's going to rise, it won't happen until at least four or five o'clock in the afternoon."

Only then did everyone come back to their senses.

Everyone ran to the truck.

"What's in the third brother's truck?" The second brother Song Chaodong happened to be at the construction site and immediately came over, curiously asking Song Chaoyang.

"Rapeseed oil residue, bought from the oil mill in the city."

Song Chaoyang answered directly and jumped out of the car.

The second brother Song Chaodong was a little surprised when he heard the dialect's words and said:
"All in such a big car?"

Song Chaoyang nodded:
"Yes, a total of twelve thousand catties."

The two porters who came with him at this time had climbed behind the truck body, ready to drop off bags of rapeseed oil residue.

Song Chaoyang asked his second brother to quickly open the door to his new home.

Put it in an empty room first.

At this time, curious people came over and asked:
"Why did you buy so many? Your family only has thirteen piglets."

"How can they eat so much?"

Song Chaoyang watched bags of rapeseed oil residue being thrown down, and then being dragged by people on the construction site to put them into the empty house at home.

He turned back to the person who asked and said loudly:

“Our pigs can’t eat them, and there are other people’s pigs.”

"If you buy it, you can give it to the folks in the brigade."

Hearing that there was such a good thing, the surrounding crowd immediately became excited.

As long as you are in the health care industry, you will inevitably go to the commune to buy such things, and half a day's work points will be lost every time you come back.

Even if you are an idle person who does not work at home, carrying 100 kilograms of things on a trip is enough.

If you borrow the production team's oxcart, you have to pay another five cents.

Everyone always feels a little bit shortchanged.

It's good now, Song Chaoyang brought everything back directly.

Immediately, someone came over to him and asked:
"How much more will it cost?"

Song Chaoyang waved his hand and said:
"Still according to the commune's original price, 100 pounds of 1 yuan."

“You can come here and buy whatever your family needs.”

"You don't even charge for gas?" Everyone was surprised.

I originally thought that Song Chaoyang would add a few cents for errands.

Not only do you save time by buying from him, they don't even charge for running errands.

if it is real.

Then this is a great deal.

"No, third child, we still have to charge some gas fees." At this time, the eldest sister Song Xue reminded in a low voice.

Song Chaoyang glanced at the eldest sister, smiled and winked at her.

Then he whispered:
"Don't worry, I won't suffer any loss."

Now the eldest sister finally understood that no matter what the original price was, it would be fine if her brother did not suffer a loss.

It was already time to finish work at noon, and many people had returned from the fields. Seeing how lively Song Chaoyang's house was, everyone came to watch.

I want to know what Song Chaoyang brought back in the cart?
Then the news about Song Chaoyang selling rapeseed oil residue without increasing the price spread like wildfire.

Song Chaoyang saw that the onlookers had almost gathered, and then he began to announce loudly:

"Don't get me wrong, rapeseed oil residue does not charge travel fees. This is only for our fellow villagers in Qingsong Bay."

"If other villages come to buy it, they have to pay extra for traveling. After all, it's not cheap to hire a truck to bring it back."

"Even if you borrow the oxcart or tractor of the production team, you have to pay for it, right?"

"Don't send me the wrong message."

After listening to Song Chaoyang's words, everyone realized that they were only free of charge for our own talents in Qingsongwan.

People coming from other places will also be charged for errands.

As soon as these words came out, not only did no one think that Song Chaoyang was wrong, everyone even gave him a thumbs up.

They all say he is loyal.

Be kind to the people in your village.

Anyone else would definitely have to charge this amount.

So Song Chaoyang and the others had just finished unloading the car when someone from Qingsong Bay came to buy it.

You have 100 catties, I have 100 catties, and soon we sold a lot.

When Song Shou and his wife came over with the prepared meals, they found that there was a queue in front of their home construction site.

Everyone left happily carrying their bags of stuff.

The couple was stunned by this scene, not knowing what was going on.

When I got closer, I realized that the third child of my family was actually back, and he and the second child were still carrying a steel scale to weigh the weight.

At this time, they quickly grabbed their eldest daughter Song Xue, who was keeping accounts, and asked what was going on. After a short conversation, I finally figured it out.

So they invited the workers on the construction site to eat, and brought a steelyard over to help weigh them together.

Fortunately, there are not too many people in Qingsong Bay.

After the Song family joined together, everyone gave money and left with their things satisfied after a while.

Song Chaoyang then went on to tell those who worked here that if they were willing to buy it, they would not have to pay travel expenses.

It doesn't matter if you don't bring any money. You can even directly convert it into wages. When you finish work today, take your things home first.

After hearing what Song Chaoyang said, many people expressed their willingness to buy from here.

Although they still had a long way to go back from Easy Bay, it was not as far as going to the commune.

You can also take it back here without increasing the price, and you can also save some distance.

Everyone is willing.

"You, you have to come up with something new every time." This was the first thing I said after returning home.

Song Chaoyang smiled at his mother and said:

"The main reason is that our new pig pen has been repaired and the young wild boars are about to grow meat. We all have to go to the commune to buy them. Why not I buy them directly from the county and bring them back at once."

"That saves time and saves money."

At this time, my mother asked:

"Don't you have the same price as the commune? How can you still save money?"

"Am I such a stupid person?" Song Chaoyang rolled his eyes and simply revealed directly:
"The rapeseed oil residue I bought this time is only one hundred pounds and nine cents."

"If I buy so much at the original price, wouldn't I be taken advantage of?"

Everyone present was shocked when they heard Song Chaoyang's words.

Even the eldest sister, who had long known that Song Chaoyang would not suffer any loss, was also surprised.

I knew it might be cheaper, but I didn't expect it to be so much cheaper, 100 cents cheaper per 6 kilograms.

Good guy!
Is this going to make a lot of money?

And when the news spreads to other villages, they will be willing to come here to buy it even if they know that there will be extra travel expenses.

When the time comes, there will be so many things, no need to worry about lack of sales.

"You won't be called a speculator, right?" I said with some worry.

Lao Zhangtou on the side said now:

"What kind of speculation is he doing? He didn't make much money in total."

"And now they are talking about reform and opening up. Unless someone deliberately goes up and down to punish him, speculation has nothing to do with him."

"Look, my senior brother is right." Song Chaoyang immediately gave Lao Zhangtou a thumbs up.

That's not what Lao Zhangtou cares about.

He was concerned about Song Chaoyang. Did he send the letter he wanted to send?
"Of course I've sent it, don't worry, no one can forget you if you forget."

"It was sent out yesterday morning. If you were quick, you should have received it this morning, right?"

After hearing Song Chaoyang's words, Lao Zhangtou was satisfied.

Next, Song Chaoyang took out all the things Lao Jin gave him.

Glucose powder, White Rabbit toffee, and two bottles of Maotai, these are rare good things in rural areas.

Song Chaoyang gave them all to his mother to keep.

The Maotai lady said she would take it and use it for entertaining when the house is completed in a few days.

At that time, all the cadres from the brigade, as well as Song Chaoyang's grandparents, uncles and aunts will be invited over.

Use this Maotai to entertain people and gain face.

Song Chaoyang didn't care. This wine seemed expensive now, but the retail price was only 11 yuan.

Wuliangye was only 6 yuan, 5 cents and 5 cents a bottle at this time.

Jiannanchun is cheaper at 4 yuan. As for some wines that will never be seen again, the prices are even cheaper.

In rural areas, as long as there is a brand of wine, it has a special reputation.

Even if you spill the wine, no one will feel ashamed.

The completion of a new house is indeed an event that should be remembered.

However, Song Chaoyang believes that after tonight, I will probably be reluctant to take it out again.

Because it was predicted in the dream that Qin Wanshan would treat their whole family to dinner at night and talk about the marriage between his second brother and their daughter.

When the time comes, I will definitely say that I will drink it on my second brother’s wedding day.

Song Chaoyang is still aware of my mother's temper.

"Hey, Third Brother, when did you buy this watch?" At this time, the sharp-eyed little girl suddenly noticed the watch appearing on Song Chaoyang's wrist covered by his shirt.

He screamed out excitedly.

After hearing his words, others also looked at Song Chaoyang's hands.

Song Chaoyang simply rolled up his sleeves and exposed the watch on his hand for everyone to see.

"The souvenirs given to the Grade A contracted writers of Oriental Publishing House. Last time they were in a hurry and didn't give it to me, so they gave it to me this time." Song Chaoyang said to his family.

Others just looked at their watches. Old Zhangtou was well-informed and said immediately:

“Double Lion of the East, a good brand!”

"This publishing house is quite willing to give it up. This watch costs more than a hundred yuan."

After listening to his words, others understood.

It turns out this watch is really valuable.

Speaking of the publishing house, Song Chaoyang simply told everyone about the contract he went to the city to sign this time and the first printing fee he received.

When they heard that Song Chaoyang had taken 11,400 yuan in one lump sum, the rest of the family were immediately stunned.

After a while, the second brother asked again:

"Lao San, did you say an extra zero?"

Song Chaoyang heard that they didn't believe it, so he simply took out all the more than 1 yuan that he had kept separately.

It should have been quite obvious that he had more than 1 yuan on his body, but the pants Lao Jin and the others bought for themselves had particularly deep pockets.

If you put more than 1 yuan in separate packages, you won't be able to tell at all.

It wasn't until Song Chaoyang put all the large amounts of more than 1 yuan on the table that he realized there was still such a thick pile.

No need to count now, it is definitely more than 1000 yuan.

Song Chaoyang was right, he really received 11,400 royalties.

And this is not the most valuable thing.

The most valuable thing is the contract.

As long as the first printing of 100,000 copies sells well, it will continue to sell in the future.

When the time comes, Song Chaoyang will get his next share.

Song Shouyi and Lao Zhangtou were relatively calm. They knew that Song Chaoyang still had a piece of gold worth nearly 20,000 yuan.

If other people found out, they would be scared to death.

At this time, the eldest sister Song Xue looked at the money and swallowed her saliva and sighed:
"Oh my God, that's over ten thousand dollars...I've never seen so much money in my life."

"You can't earn this kind of work points in ten lifetimes!"

"This should be the first ten-thousand-yuan household in ten miles and eight towns, right?"

Brother-in-law Liu Yong also nodded:

"Times have changed now. Brother can make so much money just by writing. In the future, I have to let Gouwa learn from you."

After hearing this, the eldest sister nodded repeatedly:
"Yes, yes, Gouwa must learn from his uncle and earn so much money in the future."

After speaking, he waved to his son:
"Gouwa, come here."

Liu Donglai, or Gouwa as he was called, sniffed and walked up to his mother. He looked at his third uncle Song Chaoyang curiously. He wanted to see his sister this morning, so he came here with his father.

At this time, he was seriously reminded by his mother:

"You have to learn to write articles from your uncle and become a great writer in the future!"

After hearing this, Gouwa showed an embarrassed expression and said:

"I don't like writing. I like repairing houses like my dad."

"Pah!" After hearing this, the eldest sister Song Xue became furious and slapped the little bastard on the butt.

Gouwa yelled directly:
"Mom, don't fight, don't fight! I won't repair the house anymore, I will learn it, I will learn from my third uncle!"

This kid is very good at what he does, and his tone of voice has changed very quickly.

Song Chaoyang looked a little funny, but he thought about the future development of real estate.

And the way he paved the way for his eldest sister and brother-in-law, Gou Wa is really more suitable to inherit the family business.

Song Chaoyang pulled the boy over and said to the eldest sister:

"Actually, there's nothing wrong with building a house. After you complete the county's projects, the money you get will definitely not be less than this amount."

"When we get the team together and contract more projects, we will make a lot of money in the future."

Hearing what Song Chaoyang said, the eldest brother-in-law nodded thoughtfully.

But the eldest sister said with disgust:
"I still think you are better and more respectable than us."

Song Chaoyang laughed and said:

"Hahaha... If Gouwa makes a name for himself in this industry in the future, he will be very respectable."

"Third uncle, is it true?" Gou Wa raised his head and looked at his third uncle Song Chaoyang with a confused expression.

Song Chaoyang nodded:
"of course it's true."

Gouwa suddenly showed a tangled expression. After hesitating again and again, he firmly said to my mother:
"Mom, I think I prefer building houses."
