Qi Tongwei: I can sign the relationship between characters

"Dad, you have to look at this matter in the long term. With our family's financial situation, marrying someone who can work won't help much. If we want to marry someone, we have to marry someone who can read and write. Only in this way can the children born be smart.

Only the next generation can do the work of two people. Take me for example. I can’t even work as hard as Dahua Maliu, but in just one year, I earned more than the whole village. This is the power of knowledge.”

"Yes, yes, Dad, the girl I know is a high school student." Qi Tonggong immediately jumped out to agree.

When Mr. Qi heard this, he was a little surprised. He thought that a high school student was already a great intellectual.

Although high school students at that time were not as popular as technical secondary schools and junior colleges, they were still considered highly educated in the eyes of ordinary people.

If the girl's family wasn't too poor and she hadn't had any connections, she would have been assigned a good job long ago and wouldn't have met Qi Tonggong.

"Hey, you are good, you have a lot of potential."

"How much does it cost to marry a city girl?" Qi's mother asked the question that Qi's father was most concerned about.

How much money you spend is the key.

Even though the family has several thousand in savings now, they will definitely object if the price is too high.

"You don't have to worry about this. The eldest and second brothers have made their own money, and they can find wives and children on their own."

"Yes, yes." The two nodded quickly.

The two brothers calculated that the money Qi Tongwei gave them would be enough to support their wives and children.

Hearing that they wouldn't have to spend the family's money, Qi's father and mother's expressions eased a little.

Years of living in poverty have made them very careful with their money, and they believe deep down that doing the most with the least cost is what they want.

They are just marrying a wife. As long as she can give birth to children and work, it is good. As for her beauty, it is not within their consideration.

If it was Qi Tongwei, it would be a different story, as he was the Wenquxing of their family.

"Then hurry up and get the certificate, get married and have children." Qi's father gave the order.

"I thought it would take several years for the eldest and second sons to get married, but I didn't expect our family to prosper in the blink of an eye. It's really the blessing of our ancestors." Qi's mother couldn't help but sigh, and then changed the subject and turned the topic to Liang Meng.

"Tongwei, tell me honestly, do you like Uncle Liang's daughter Liang Meng?"

No, does this mean they are related?

Qi Tongwei said unhappily, "She has just reached adulthood and is not yet of marriageable age. What are you thinking about?"

"We don't follow this in the countryside. Look at Lao Qi's family in the village. His daughter got married at the age of 16 and now has two children."

"What you said is all rubbish, it's unacceptable, it's illegal. Do you know what your son is studying? It's politics and law. When he starts working, he will stop this. Isn't this asking me to break the law knowingly?"

When Qi's mother heard that her son's work would be delayed, she immediately stopped talking.

"That's fine. We won't interfere with your marriage, but don't we advocate free love? You can just date first."

"..."

The ideas of the elderly will always catch you off guard. Qi Tongwei had no choice but to find an excuse, go check on the orchard, and ran out of the house.

Rural people always get up early, especially in summer.

Because the sun rises early in the summer, it is almost bright before six o'clock.

They had to take advantage of the brief coolness in the morning and do more work so that they could go home and rest when the sun was at its highest and hottest.

Walking in the fields, you can see villagers working hard everywhere, and even the children on summer vacation are skilled workers.

"Tongwei, good morning!"

"morning!"

"Why did you get up so early today?"

"Hehe, I can't sleep..."

Seeing Qi Tongwei, the villagers were as enthusiastic as ever.

Chapter 55 Rich people have distant relatives in the mountains

Soon, Qi Tongwei arrived at the wasteland in front of him.

The origin of Qicun’s future planting base.

The wasteland has been simply surrounded by a fence by Qijia Village, and many of the stones inside have also been cleared away.

There is a thatched shed at the entrance, where Qi's father usually sleeps to look after this vibrant orchard.

Although it will take several more years for the fruit trees to truly grow and be harvested, the seedlings alone are a considerable fortune, and Father Qi still cares about them very much.

The villagers also know what this means, so they will arrange people to come and stand guard.

The peach and plum saplings were spaced at equal distances, in a neat and uniform pattern, swaying in the breeze.

These saplings are all high-quality varieties that Qi Tongwei asked Wu Huifen, a friend in the agricultural department, to get.

Most of those planted in March have survived.

For farmers, there is no systematic experience, but since they are all planting, it is the same as planting grain, so it is always right to apply fertilizer and remove pests.

Seeing that the growth was good, Qi Tongwei felt relieved, stretched himself, remembered that he had not signed in today, and opened the system again.

"Sign in."

"Sign in [Blue] Liang Tiande, Friendship: 1"

Hmm? Liang Tiande? Do I really want to be related to him?

Liang Tiande, who is already 47 years old and a non-permanent deputy county magistrate, is in charge of departments such as water conservancy. To be honest, he cannot provide much help to Qi Tongwei.

After he graduates from university or passes the postgraduate entrance examination, Liang Tiande will probably retreat to the second line.

But it’s not bad to be able to sign in and get a blue point. When I delete it, at least it can be converted into 0.5 blue points, which is equivalent to days of sign-ins. It’s the best relationship of sign-ins in the past six months. It’s better than nothing.

After taking a stroll, Qi Tongwei, who had almost recovered from the aftereffects of sleeping on a big bed, walked home.

When he got home, County Magistrate Liang was already up, chatting with Qi's father.

Seeing Qi Tongwei coming back, Qi's father invited everyone to have dinner together.

At the table, everyone else was eating in silence, only the two of them were chatting non-stop. If Qi Tongwei hadn't stopped them, the two of them would have been ready to have a few drinks early in the morning. This guy doesn't act like an official at all.

After the meal, Liang Meng couldn't bear to lose face, so she dragged Liang Tiande to say goodbye.

Qi Tongwei thought Liang Tiande’s departure was the end, but unexpectedly it was the beginning.

Soon, the news of Qi Tongwei's return home spread like wildfire.

There was an endless stream of people coming to watch the fun, beg for money, seek marriage, or want to become in-laws.

Qi Tongwei underestimated the power of a millionaire in a poor area.

In the span of several days, he had already gained a thorough understanding of the rise and fall, honor and disgrace, and side branch families of the Qi family and Qi's mother's family over the past century, because that group of people had really brought the family tree with them.

Qi Tongwei deeply understood what it meant: If you are poor in a busy city, no one will care about you, but if you are rich in the mountains, you will have distant relatives.

I don’t know if this was the same scene when Director Qi became the Director of Public Security.

A bunch of relatives for no reason gave Qi Tongwei a headache.

Especially, since he asked for help before they had even chatted for a few words, Qi Tongwei would not tolerate this bad habit and directly chased him away.

It seems that moving needs to be put on the agenda, otherwise it will be disastrous.

He wants to be Governor Qi, Secretary Qi, not Director Qi.

Who knows when these distant relatives may become the knife that attacks you.

Unable to bear the harassment, Qi Tongwei picked up his backpack and left Qijia Village.

Qi Tongwei had never really understood the background of this era. The source of information was just fragments of information in TV dramas or novels.

As the saying goes, reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles. It is also necessary to investigate the customs and culture of Handong.

...

The heat wave rolled in and the dust filled the sky.

Li Dakang's mood was even more anxious and irritating than the weather in June.

This time, he made a promise in front of his old leader Zhao Lichun that Jinshan County must be removed from the label of a poor county in Handong.

If he succeeds, Li Dakang will have a bright future.

If it fails, even Zhao Lichun might have to stay where he is for a few years.

Jinshan County and Yantai County are adjacent to each other, but they belong to different regions.

Yantai County is under the jurisdiction of Yantai City, while Jinshan County is under the jurisdiction of Luzhou City.

The situation in Jinshan County is even poorer than that in Yantai County.

Although Handong Province is a large plain province, it also has a certain proportion of mountainous areas.

So, as the name suggests, Jinshan County is famous for its mountainous terrain.

The mountains rise one after another, making it impossible for common people to go out and difficult for outsiders to come in.

The people even had to borrow salt from each other, not to mention other things.

Li Dakang knew very well that the way to change all this was to open up a path to the outside world.

It's just that the summer is hot and the construction progress is extremely slow.

The jeep bumped along the way and arrived at a construction site. Unlike other construction sites, which were bustling with activity, there was no one in sight.

Li Dakang picked up the loud speaker and shouted, "Old Tao, Old Tao, where are all the dead people?"

A thin figure rushed down the hillside beside the road.

"County Magistrate Li, I'm here, I'm here."

"Lao Tao, why don't people in your village work?"

"County Magistrate Li, the villagers have been working for most of the day and are exhausted. The sun is scorching hot right now, so I'm afraid they will get heat stroke, so I asked them to take a rest first."

Li Dakang became furious and started cursing at the thin and dark old village party secretary in front of him.

"Lao Tao, do you still have any organizational principles and party spirit? Is it time to rest now? Ah! Hurry and move."

Secretary Lao Tao begged, "Chief Li, I also want everyone to move. For the past month, everyone has been here since 5 a.m., at dawn, to pave the road. Except for eating, drinking, defecating and urinating, they have not stopped for a moment. Even a strong man can't stand it.

The sun is so strong now that everyone can't stand it, so let them take a break. When everyone has more energy, they can work more efficiently. "

"I say, Lao Tao, are you getting old and confused? Have I not explained myself clearly enough? Do you think that only the people in your village are tired and others are not?

I tell you, you must mobilize your villagers right now and get to work quickly. If you delay the progress, I will hold you accountable!"

Secretary Lao Tao had no choice but to mobilize the villagers who were resting in the shade to continue working.

Li Dakang also wants everyone to have a good rest, but he doesn’t have much time left for himself.

Everyone said that Li Dakang had connections and could get money from the province, but this money was all loans approved by Zhao Lichun from Jingzhou City Bank. Every day of delay would result in an additional day of interest.

Moreover, Zhao Lichun was taking a huge risk by approving such a sum of money.

As for some people saying that the whole county raised funds to build the road, that is a joke. People even have difficulty getting salt, so where can they get the money to raise funds?

Li Dakang had no choice but to keep rushing the deadline and cutting costs.

Every point reduced now will leave one more point for future construction and development.

Seeing that the villagers had returned to their posts and started working, Li Dakang, with a gloomy face, got on the jeep and went to the next construction site.

Chapter 56 Li Dakang Easy to Learn

"Boss, we're here."

"Is it here? How much?"

"two hundred!"

"Two hundred? Why don't you just go and rob it!"

"Oh, boss, this is more than 50 kilometers, and the road is so difficult to travel. Two hundred is not too much."

"What? Do you think I'm easy to bully? Believe it or not, I can let you in with just one phone call!" Qi Tongwei was furious.

These taxis are simply outrageous. They dare to charge 200 yuan for a 50-kilometer trip from Yantai County to Jinshan County. Even in later generations, this price would not be charged, not to mention that the average daily income per person is less than 10 yuan now.
