The Red Era: Starting from a Truck Driver

Chapter 183 Building a warehouse outside the reclamation farm
After lunch, Jiang Changhe left with five dollars and a chicken.

Rural people get married early, even though Jiang Cheng is the second son, he was already 22 years old. But Jiang Changhe was actually only 43 years old, and got married before he was 17.

Because they work hard in the fields, rural people in their forties look old. But in their forties, they are definitely not old enough to retire. Even if Jiang Changhe is not in good health, Jiang Cheng has spent money to treat him.

So Jiang Changhe was embarrassed to ask Jiang Cheng for retirement money, but he now wanted to give some money to his parents for their retirement.

It is true that Jiang Cheng's grandparents are partial, but Jiang Changhe has indeed failed to repay their kindness in raising him. It is reasonable and reasonable that Jiang Changhe should bear part of the responsibility for his parents' retirement, even if they do not have any contact.

A while ago, Jiang Changhe was taken to the city by Jiang Cheng for medical treatment. At that time, I saw Jiang Cheng looking for someone to make furniture in the city. The labor cost alone was dozens of yuan. Including materials and miscellaneous items, it cost several hundred yuan.

When he was treated, the treatments were frequent at the beginning, costing more than two dollars a day.

In addition, the food and drinks were good, so Jiang Changhe and Zhao Yuxia felt that a few dollars was not a lot of money.

But the last time I mentioned his grandparents to Jiang Cheng, Jiang Cheng simply ignored me and didn't respond at all.

Now Jiang Changhe has returned to the countryside, but he still cannot do heavy work. After being back in the countryside for a long time, he feels that money is valuable again.

Before, his mother Liu Lianhua said that he needed three yuan and ten kilograms of grain a month as a filial piety, and Jiang Changhe thought it was nothing. But in the countryside, three yuan means that even a strong laborer has to work in the fields for at least five or six days, plus ten kilograms of grain, even if it is coarse and fine. But overall, a person has to work for about ten days for nothing.

The eldest son Jiang Quan passed away, leaving behind a granddaughter and two grandsons. Jiang Cheng paid for their schooling. Logically, Jiang Changhe, as a grandfather, should take care of the young before the old.

If Jiang Cheng is helping to share the responsibilities at home, Jiang Changhe really shouldn't ask Jiang Cheng for money for other things.

But my daughter-in-law Zhou Lingying always comes back in style, bringing this and that.

Jiang Changhe asked his parents to reduce the cost of his old-age care, but his parents said he had no conscience. Their son lived so well, and they could not even ask him for a few dollars a month.

And a few days ago, Zhou Lingying took a camera to the countryside to take pictures. The villagers said that she took a few photos like that. She earned a lot of money by taking pictures of her family and the people in the Youth League.

So it is impossible that Jiang Changhe’s son and daughter-in-law are without money, but the key is that Jiang Changhe also knows that his son is rich, but his son does not want to be filial to his grandparents.

If a grandson is not filial, the villagers will at most say a few words, but there is really no example of a grandson supporting his grandparents. Unless he is the kind who has been raised by his grandparents since childhood.

But in the early days when the family was not divided, Jiang Cheng and his family did live with his grandparents and uncle. But since Jiang Cheng's grandparents favored their eldest son Jiang Dahai, they naturally favored Jiang Dahai's children as well.

Jiang Changhe was ashamed to say that he blamed his parents for being partial. He himself was actually a little partial to his eldest son. If Jiang Quan had not died unexpectedly, at least two of the three rooms in the house would have been given to the eldest son, Jiang Quan.

This time, Jiang Changhe saw that his daughter-in-law couldn't get any money either, so he planned to go back and tell his parents directly that the grandson belonged to the grandson and he belonged to him. There was only filial piety for the grandson, but no old-age care. Seeing that Jiang Cheng had money, they would go to Jiang Cheng themselves in the future, and he, Jiang Changhe, could only guarantee to give him ten kilograms of food every month at most.

Zhou Lingying only gave Jiang Changhe five yuan, mainly because there was not much money to spend in the countryside. Although Jiang Cheng had never intervened in her spending at home, she could report it if Jiang Cheng asked. The key point was that Jiang Changhe did not say what he wanted the money for.

In the end, even when Jiang Changhe wanted to catch a hen and take it back to give to his relatives, Zhou Lingying let him catch it at will. ~~
Fuzhou Lichuan County Reclamation Farm.

When going to Guangzhou, Jiang Cheng could really pass by here without any detour.

When Jiang Cheng came back this time, he went to the reclamation farm again, wanting to work more deeply with Director Hou.

Judging from the current situation, Director Hou is still sticking to the bottom line even if he is trying to make money. At least he is just making a profit from the price difference, and he is not so ruthless as to directly make a profit on the output, for example, if a pig farm has 100 pigs, he can just change it to 80.

"Brother Hou, I'm not here to get a free meal this time. I want to discuss something with you." Jiang Cheng said at the dinner table.

"Brother Jiang, if you have anything to say, just tell me. Don't be too distant with me. I will definitely do whatever I can for you." Director Hou replied.

"I'm not doing anything for you. I want to cooperate with this farm. I've found a way, and besides fish, I want all your poultry, livestock, and various products. But I wonder if you can build a warehouse outside this farm, so that when other people come here, they don't have to go to your farm to pick up the goods, they can just pick them up at the warehouse." Jiang Cheng said.

Jiang Cheng was ready to go to Hong Kong to do something, but he would only go there secretly twice a month at most.

According to Jiang Cheng's understanding of Hong Kong in later generations, in addition to the early days, there were still people farming in Hong Kong. Now, except for some remote places where people grow some vegetables, grain and food are all imported.

Therefore, as long as it is food, it can be sold at a good price there. However, because Hong Kong can import food from many places, the price of food is acceptable, but it is not a huge profit.

Hong Kong is actually very chaotic right now, with all kinds of gangs. The key is that the police station and the gangs are all in the same business, and they will ignore you if you pay them.

But no matter how chaotic it is, there are principles. You can cause trouble in bars and chess and card rooms, but you are not allowed to cause trouble in places like grain and oil stores. Even if there is robbery, you can rob the boss of any business, but you cannot rob the grain seller.

Because the bosses who can sell grain in Hong Kong basically have overseas resources. If this business is not stable in Hong Kong, and a place where grain relies heavily on imports, no one will do this business, and there will be trouble.

So doing food business in Hong Kong may not be a lucrative business, but it is definitely a stable business. If Jiang Cheng wants to buy products from Hong Kong, he must have capital, so opening a store is inevitable.

"Brother Jiang, I have no say in building a warehouse outside the farm. But it doesn't take much effort to build a warehouse. I can find someone to apply for it. But what do you mean by contacting someone? We have a lot of products that can be handled in this farm. It would be best if we could cooperate with just one person." Director Hou perked up after hearing Jiang Cheng's words.

The reclamation farm not only has products from breeding and planting, but also has large tracts of forest land and a lot of wood, which can be used as charcoal in winter.

At this time, the director felt that Jiang Cheng's suggestion was good. If a warehouse was built outside the reclamation farm, even if it was built of wood, it would be better than transporting things out from inside all the time.

But Director Hou was only responsible for some reception work at the reclamation farm, as well as the storage and processing of the farm's products. As for construction, or breeding and planting, they were not under his control.

For example, a vegetable field, whether it is growing cabbage, radish, or peanuts, is the responsibility of the production staff. You should know that in addition to selling products to the purchasing station, they also need to supply food and drink to tens of thousands of people. There are 20 factories in this farm.
