1986: Old Stories in Northeast China

"Yingzi, take care of my brother-in-law, why is he so naughty." Chen Tiezhu was also happy.

"Tiezhu, what's going on? Is there anyone in your village dealing in fertilizers?" Ma Zhanhua asked curiously.

"It's their family that has always been at odds with me and often gossips about me." Chen Tiezhu said.

"Usually, when they deal in fertilizers, they just increase the price appropriately. This time, they increase it so much because the people in the village are close to me."

Ma Zhanhua frowned. This matter is not easy to manage even with his status.

You know that he has increased the price of diamine a little too much, but for the past two years, this is the norm.

Or it's because the amount of fertilizer is too small, even if it is increased, there will be people who buy it.

"Tiezhu, why don't you use a loudspeaker to shout it out?" He Jianguo asked.

"It's better not to shout it out first, after all, the leaders haven't given a definite answer. We can't tell the villagers about unreliable things." Chen Tiezhu said.

"Otherwise, if he really gets into trouble, I won't be able to stay in the village. Let's eat our own food, and then we can go and watch the fun."

Zhang Guangyou's counterattack this time really exceeded his expectations.

Obviously, he has been messed up, so how dare he give him fertilizer?

It should be said that Zhang Guangyou still has some connections.

On the contrary, He Jianguo is a little worried. After being messed up by Zhang Guangyou, who knows how many storms will arise.

Didn't I hear that Chen Tiezhu is going to watch the fun? Is he a person who can watch peacefully?

"Just stay at home quietly, why are you messing with me." Han Xiuying said.

"You have to care about it, what if our family also has to get a few bags." Chen Tiezhu said indifferently.

Han Xiuying really didn't know what to say, anyway, this guy is definitely going to be messed up.

It's nothing at ordinary times, but the key is that Ma Zhanhua is here today.

After eating and drinking, Chen Tiezhu carried his precious daughter and walked towards the brigade.

There were many people rushing to the brigade on the road, after all, fertilizers were very important in people's hearts.

But when walking on the road, the atmosphere was a little awkward.

If everyone greeted each other enthusiastically at ordinary times, it would be a little difficult to say now that fertilizers were involved.

After all, the price increase was much higher than last year, and the main reason was Chen Tiezhu.

This also made the villagers feel complicated. Tiezhu was a good comrade. But because of the conflict with the Zhang family, everyone's fertilizers became more expensive all of a sudden. Who wouldn't think about it?

"What are you still hesitating about? It's good enough that we can buy it with this money. Fertilizer will definitely be expensive next spring. The truck will deliver it soon. This is all."

"Don't let your guns run out by then. Buy from us when the price goes up. We have no choice. We all pay extra. There are only five tons in total. We don't know when the next wave will come."

"Third brother, there are not so many left. We have to keep some for our family. It's very reasonable to use it as base fertilizer. It can increase the yield per mu by at least 20%."

...

As soon as he walked to the brigade headquarters, Chen Tiezhu heard the three brothers of the Zhang family talking in unison.

And when they saw him coming, everyone made way.

"Everyone is here. That's good. I have something to tell you. Someone has dug a trap on the mountain. Be more careful when you go hunting on the mountain." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

"Also, I went up the mountain again today and didn't see any wolves on the Toudao Ridge. I guess they wandered off, but everyone should be careful when hunting."

"Chen Tiezhu, you don't need to be so nice here. Everyone knows what's going on. You don't allow people to go up the mountain to hunt, but you just hunt as you please." Zhang Guangliang spoke.

The villagers who heard it all became nervous, and this was another irritation.

"Oh, I was wondering why it was so quiet these days. It turns out that you didn't go to our house to stand guard." Chen Tiezhu said cheerfully.

"Chen Tiezhu, what's the point of saying that? It's because you made it impossible for us to buy cheap fertilizers. I'll put it here today. When the fertilizer delivery truck comes, add 15 yuan per bag." Zhang Guangyou also spoke.

"Don't blame me, old men. I sold my motorcycle to get the money to buy diamine. I can tell you clearly that I will definitely make money, but if Chen Tiezhu didn't interfere, the price of fertilizer this year would not be so high."

"I can also pat my chest and tell you that when it comes to topdressing, the price of fertilizer will definitely be higher. If you miss this opportunity, you will miss it. You should think it through yourself."

"Hey..., why are you so incompatible?"

"It's really hard to say about this matter, but Tiezhu, although he is quite capable, has he done a little too much?"

"I don't like what you said, then TiezhuWe can't let them bully us like that."

"Why are you so anxious? How much money will it cost to buy fertilizers? Wouldn't it be nice to buy some meat?"

...

The villagers around also started to talk.

After hearing these words, even He Jianguo's expression looked a little ugly.

"Tiezhu, otherwise..."

"Uncle Jianguo, it's nothing. This is human nature." Chen Tiezhu interrupted him.

"In fact, even if I were them, I would definitely have some thoughts in my mind now. So it's understandable what everyone says about this matter."

"Leader, this is the current situation of agricultural production. People are really greedy for fertilizers. Since this summer, fertilizers have been snatched up."

Ma Zhanhua nodded, "This situation is not just in our town. Our county and city are also short of fertilizers. But I still don't understand. You said that the shortage of hard goods like urea is understandable, but why is there such a shortage of small fertilizers? ”

“Well, I think it has something to do with national policies.” Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

“The state takes care of the people and has given policies of price limits and price cuts. But for these fertilizer plants, this is not so beautiful. The profit margin has been compressed a lot. Even if you work overtime, you can’t make much money. ”

“Because you work overtime, you have to pay overtime, even if it is calculated into the bonus, you have to pay. When you sell it, you have to be cheaper. How can you make money with one in and one out?”

“Just guarantee the basic production indicators, and the extra ones are enough. This is a contradiction in the transition from a planned economy to a market economy. Every fertilizer plant has to support a lot of workers.”

“Ding ding ding…”

At this time, a horn sounded in the distance, and a large truck slowly drove over.

Zhang Quanyou showed a happy face, “Don’t blame our family, everyone, the truck is here, and you have to pay more if you want to buy more. "

After saying that, he ran over happily.

Chen Tiezhu also looked over there and laughed, "There is a saying that goes, it is better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early, it's interesting."

His words confused everyone. What does this mean?
