Life in a quiet village in Xianshan

The old lady looked at the place where Gu Siwei disappeared and murmured: "It's obvious that it is, why don't you recognize it?"

"Maybe I haven't remembered it yet," Wu Daorong's daughter-in-law explained to her mother-in-law.

The old lady shook her head: "It's not like he didn't remember it. You noticed that he didn't react when I just mentioned it. He probably still hates his mother in his heart."

"What happened?" Wu Daorong's wife was a little curious.

I can't help but be curious. Both I and my mother are such big cadres. Most people would have to admit it even if they squeezed their heads. Apart from other things, can the conditions be the same? Even if it was fake, there wouldn't be many people who wouldn't recognize it, but there happened to be such a person right in front of him. Why don't you treat him like a cadre?

The old lady said: "I don't know very well. Their family used to be comparable to ours. Their farmland was fertile, and half of the entire county belonged to their family. Otherwise, do you think ordinary families can have this kind of thing? Later on, The couple both joined the army and escaped secretly. Later, when the Japanese came, their family broke up and ran to Hong Kong City. As for what happened to their family, I really don’t know. I just know At that time, his mother had her eldest daughter with her, but he, his own son, didn't take it into consideration. Is it because of this that he held a grudge?..."

The old lady reached out and touched the bracelet on the table and said.

Wu Daorong's daughter-in-law listened in a daze and didn't know what her mother-in-law was talking about.

"This thing".

"Take it back when someone comes over there. It seems like the child won't want it." The old lady said, wrapping up the bracelet and putting it into the box.

"Mom, you put such a valuable thing here?" Wu Daorong's daughter-in-law asked.

The old lady replied: "Are there still thieves now?"

"That's not true. It's just such an expensive thing. You have to be careful not to bump into it." Wu Daorong's daughter-in-law is not greedy or anything, she has no such concept.

The reason is too simple. At this time, food, clothing, housing and transportation are all well arranged by almost all countries. There is really no use asking for money. Although the food is not full and there is less meat, the people around are similar, so there are few complaints. , there is no analogy. At this time, the gap between the factory director and the workers was not big. The monthly salary difference was only ten or twenty yuan, so everyone was calm.

Gu Siwei ran out of the door with Xiao Xiao, then got on his bicycle and ran away for a long distance before looking back with a guilty look.

Seeing that there was no one around, Gu Siwei muttered to himself: "I'm really going to die, why is my ghost still here?"

He raised his hand and looked at his watch. It was already nine o'clock in the evening. Gu Siwei pedaled hard twice and the bicycle picked up speed.

It was a slow speed along the way, but there was nothing we could do. If it were a little later, people might have already gone to bed. People go to bed early at this time. There is no TV or Internet. What are you doing if you don't sleep? The newlyweds might still be able to sleep. It gets boring for a while, but as an old couple, they can only sleep for a long time.

When he arrived at the place where Qiao Qisheng lived, Gu Siwei looked up and found that the lights in the house were on and the lights in the living room were on. He knew that someone was at home and they were not asleep yet.

Carrying a basket of fruits, Gu Siwei went upstairs and gently knocked on the door.

"Master Gu is here."

Qiao Yitong's mother opened the door and saw Gu Siwei standing at the door. She suddenly became enthusiastic and welcomed Gu Siwei into the room. She closed the door and shouted into the living room: "Old Qiao, Master Gu is here." .

Gu Siwei put the basket on the small table next to him: "The loquats at home are ripe. I'll bring them over for you to taste. I won't go to Yitong's place."

Why not go to Qiao Yitong's place? The reason is that Qiao Yitong's daughter-in-law may be at home alone at this time. Qiao Yitong is also a workaholic, and there is a high probability that he will not go home at this time.

That is to say, if we put it aside now, if we put it aside a few decades later, in the eyes of those little fairies who say that a husband is within one foot, and anyone outside of one foot can do it, Qiao Yitong is a scumbag.

But at this time, women were not so pretentious, and many people were very supportive of their husbands' work, including Qiao Yitong's wife.

Of course, Qiao Yitong at this time is no longer the Qiao Yitong of a few years ago. Now he is the technical master of their factory, an expert-level figure, and has a well-known reputation in the entire system.

The price is...well, busier.

Those who are really capable work hard.

"Keep it at home to eat. What can you give us as a gift?" Qiao Yitong's mother said politely.

"We don't have many things at home, except for the many fruit trees. I have planted everything that can grow around me. I have several of each kind and I can't eat them all. Since it's not the season, I will bring them to everyone to try." Gu Siwei Said with a smile.

Qiao Yitong's mother was just polite. After several years of getting along, everyone has become very casual and there is no distinction between them at all.

"Master Gu, why did you bring fruits again?" Qiao Qisheng said with a smile.

"Well, I guess from now on, I can eat fruits until the beginning of winter," Gu Siwei said cheerfully.

Qiao Qisheng knew that Gu Siwei's family planted many fruit trees. He sat down here, reached out and touched a loquat in the basket, took it in his hand and started peeling it.

"How many fruits can there be? Let me see if I can collect a batch and distribute them to the workers in our factory. In this case, your fruits can be exchanged for things, and I can also let the workers eat the fruits." Qiao Qisheng said to Gu Siwei .

Gu Siwei smiled and said: "Don't worry, everyone can eat this fruit. If you can't finish it, you can't finish it. There's nothing to worry about. Besides, I have enough money to spend now."

Qiao Qisheng put the peeled loquat into his mouth and threw the peel into the trash can: "I won't break the rules because of you, but I have the power here. You know this factory is built Something happened during the epidemic. So as mentioned above, we can help the villagers purchase agricultural and sideline products to a certain extent and distribute them to workers as benefits.

If you have more fruits, I won't have to go around begging grandpa to report to grandma. It's just that you can't use stamps. You can get enough money, such as food stamps, industrial product stamps, etc. Our factory itself doesn't have enough, so there is no way to get it out. If we take it out, everyone will have to fight tooth and nail."

"How much can you ask for here?"

"No matter how much you say, it must be fourteen or five tons at a time. If there is less, there is no way to divide it. No matter how you say it, one person must have three to five kilograms," Qiao Qisheng said.

When Gu Siwei heard this, he quickly shook his head: "That's really not the case. I only have a dozen or so trees in my house, and they weigh 14 to 5 tons."

"Well, you don't have anything to do anyway, so you can buy more and give it to me, which can be considered as an income," Qiao Qisheng said.

Qiao Qisheng was so eager not to curry favor with Gu Siwei, nor because he was afraid that Gu Siwei would not hand over his skills to his son. In fact, Qiao Qisheng had received too many things from Gu Siwei and didn't know how to repay the favor, so Just prepare to do this.

Gu Siwei originally wanted to refuse, but then he suddenly thought of the bare hilltop and thought to himself: Yes, why not plant fruit trees on the hilltop?

Even if the seeds are planted and Qiao Qisheng is transferred away, there is no need to worry.

As a person who lives decades later, how could he know that in three years this storm will be over? If the fruit trees grow here for three years, it will be the fruiting period anyway, and they will be reopened at that time. As soon as the horn is blown, your own fruit company from Hong Kong can swagger in.

Suddenly, it was as if a new window had opened in Gu Siwei's mind, and his thoughts that had been going here and there with a hammer and a stick suddenly started to make sense.

"What are you thinking about? You've screamed a few times." Qiao Qisheng stretched out his hand and shook Gu Siwei's arm.

Gu Siwei came back to his senses and said with a smile: "I was thinking about the hills near Zhuangzi where we cut down trees. If we plant fruit trees on them, wouldn't it just meet your requirements?"

Qiao Qisheng was shocked by Gu Siwei: "I can't digest so many mountains. They only happen once or twice a year. How can it be possible if you think too much? Most of us here have to go to the ministry."

"It's enough once or twice. Anyway, even if you can't sell it, it's good to throw it on a tree to feed the birds. It's not wasted." Gu Siwei was in a very good mood at the moment and joked.

Qiao Qisheng said: "As long as I continue to sit in this position, I will guarantee at least thirteen tons of fruit at least once a year. However, your price is at least 15% cheaper than the market. Otherwise, I will not be able to stop others." s population".

"OK!"

Gu Siwei was not happy in his heart, but he thought that it was only for one or two years. When the change was proposed, he and the fellow villagers from the sixth team would be able to sell a fortune by selling fruit. There is no need to trouble Qiao Qisheng.

"How many kilograms does your tree produce now?"

Qiao Qisheng asked.

Gu Siwei said: "It must be about two hundred kilograms anyway."

"That's okay," Qiao Qisheng said.

"It's not bad, it's a lot. In the past, a loquat tree in our house only produced about 60 kilograms of fruit a year."

Qiao Yitong's mother listened to the conversation between the two and said while eating the fruit.

Qiao Qisheng said: "So few?"

"What do you think, how many fruits a loquat tree can bear? Master Gu's loquat tree has far exceeded my imagination. However, Master Gu, you are really good at growing fruit trees. All the fruits are delicious."

At this time, Qiao Qisheng urged Gu Siwei again: "Master Gu, really don't waste your skills. Even if you don't come to my factory, you can go to another factory. After all, you still have a share from the country." Isn't a guaranteed job much better than being a farmer?

If you become a worker and your wife comes back to work, it will be convenient for your children to go to school and so on..."

Gu Siwei was happy when he heard the word "guarantee".

But at this moment, no one believes that one day they will face a new term called laid-off. The ordinary life they originally had disappeared in an instant, and the factory where they planned to stay until retirement suddenly disappeared.

How will they feel then and how will they face what they have always believed in?

Decades later, many young people on the Internet will say that the bad guys have grown old, but have they really thought about the helplessness and suffering that the bad guys they thought had experienced before they were able to meet acquaintances from a three-wheeled ride? They all have to keep their heads down so that they can compete with the young people on the basketball court.

"I think being a farmer is good and provides security," Gu Siwei said.

These words made Qiao Qisheng and his wife stunned and didn't know what to say.

"I'm serious, why do farmers still have land? If your factory is gone, you will have nothing."

"How could there be no factory?" Qiao Qisheng was sure.

"Yeah, how could it not be?"

Qiao Yitong's mother also felt that Gu Siwei was talking nonsense. How could such a big factory with so many people disappear? How could the country not care?
