Life in a quiet village in Xianshan

Things in Hong Kong were almost busy. Gu Siwei returned to Shimo Village and returned to his leisurely days.

Early this morning, Gu Siwei came to the village and arrived at the entrance of the small courtyard where Zheng Youcai lived.

"Old Zheng, Old Zheng!"

Gu Siwei stood at the open door and shouted inside.

"What are you shouting for?"

Zheng Youcai walked out of the house with his clothes on. When he saw Gu Siwei standing at the door, he said, "When did you come back? You didn't even take a good rest when you came back. What kind of door did you come to my house to call me so early in the morning?"

Gu Siwei smiled and said: "Oh, it turns out you are not in a hurry. If you are not in a hurry, I will leave."

Hearing Gu Siwei's human words, Zheng Youcai smiled and said, "Are you kidding me? You've exchanged everything?"

"It's been redeemed. How can you not redeem it with such good craftsmanship? Here, this is the wages for you." Gu Siwei said as he took out a roll of national food stamps from his pocket, and at the same time bent down and handed over the bag placed in the door. Carry it into the yard.

"I've also given you part of it in exchange for some rice."

Gu Siwei used the pretext of selling bamboo weaving to Zheng Youcai and took some bamboo products made by Zheng Youcai to the Hong Kong market. He originally wanted to let Zhao Sanle sell them and dispose of them as he pleased. Who would have thought that he would actually return the favor? Hundreds of bamboo products were all sold in less than two days, and all of them were bought by foreigners.

What was originally recovered was British pounds, but how could Gu Siwei give this to Zheng Youcai, so he had to find someone to get some national food stamps and so on, which took a lot of effort. Fortunately, the gang in Rungang brought more or less these things, otherwise Lao Gu would really have a headache.

Zheng Youcai took the food stamp roll and asked in surprise: "Sold so many?"

I have a lot of food stamps on hand, almost two to three hundred kilograms, which is a huge sum of money.

Zheng Youcai pulled it open and took a rough look, and was shocked. There were not only food stamps, but also some non-staple food stamps, which were more in demand than food stamps.

After looking at it, Zheng Youcai stuffed about one-third of the tickets into Gu Siwei's pocket.

"What is this for?"

Gu Siwei was stunned by Zheng Youcai's actions.

Zheng Youcai said with a smile: "Although I exchanged the things I made, I wouldn't be able to exchange them without you, so this part is for you."

"Don't do this with me! Am I doing this for you?"

How could Gu Siwei want this? He took the ticket out of his pocket and patted it on his hand: "I don't lack this thing either. Let's do this. If you feel sorry for yourself, just give your apprentice a share of the money."

How can Gu Siwei care about this little money now? At this moment, Lao Gu is so poor that he only has money left. He has booked private jets in Hong Kong, and there must be three of them, specially for the upper management of Marvel companies. Of course, it is used. After it is opened in the future, Gu Siwei can also fly between Hong Kong and the mainland conveniently.

Zheng Youcai said: "He originally had a share."

"Then leave it to your nephew to get a wife. I don't lack these things here," Gu Siwei said.

As soon as Zheng Youcai saw it, he stopped arguing with Gu Siwei over this matter. He put the note back into his pocket and sighed: "Hey, forget it, nephew."

"Huh?" Gu Siwei felt that there was something in the old man's words: "What's wrong?"

Zheng Youcai said: "Go into the room and say it, go into the room and say it."

After saying that, he pulled Gu Siwei into the house and said this to Gu Siwei. Only then did Gu Siwei know that Zheng Youcai's nephew, who had always treated him like his own son, had an accident while working in the quarry some time ago and was in the hospital. After a week didn't make it through, the person died.

As soon as this man died, the people at the quarry said that one of the children in the family should be replaced as a regular worker, so this guy arrived. The heads of the few living nephews were almost fucked, and they were just regular workers, and they didn't recognize any brothers. .

Zheng Youcai wanted to say something, but a nephew and his wife pointed at him and scolded him, and the scolding was very unpleasant, while his brothers actually stayed silent beside him.

"You, don't worry about this matter," Gu Siwei persuaded him with a smile.

This is a common thing in rural areas, and Gu Siwei doesn't know how to persuade him. There is an old saying that a poor family is a poor family. People like Zheng Youcai are a poor family in rural areas. If a nephew treated him well in the past, then this nephew can inherit his family property. Of course, Zheng Youcai didn't have much in the past.

Now that Zheng Youcai is following Gu Siwei, he has no worries about food and drink for a month. Naturally, he has to subsidize his nephew who treats him well. Now others are not happy to see it, and the dissatisfaction in his heart has accumulated, waiting for his nephew to die. That person doesn't say anything weird when he gets the chance.

There was nothing Gu Siwei could do about this matter. He couldn't offend all his nephews. Although these guys were unreasonable, they didn't offend Lao Gu. Besides, there were a lot of bad things like this in the countryside. Every day The city was in a state of sudden change, and within a few years only orphans and widows were left in Shimo Village.

Inappropriate, this method is very inappropriate.

There is no other way, so we have to change the subject: "Old Zheng, have you finished making up what I asked you to make up?"

When Zheng Youcai heard this, he immediately said: "It has been compiled a long time ago. What do you want this thing for?"

As he spoke, Zheng Yuecai entered the west room. When he came out, he had four bamboo tablets in his hand. Each bamboo tablet had small holes of equal size, some as big as a five-cent coin, and some as big as a red date.

Gu Siwei took the bamboo stick and tried it in his hand. He nodded with satisfaction: "I use this thing to select cherries. I put the picked cherries here and shake them back and forth a few times. The small ones will leak out from below, and the big ones will stay on top..."

This thing is very simple. It is a simple sorting tool. Gu Siwei uses it to size the cherries that are about to ripen.

"Anyone wants cherries?"

Zheng Youcai asked.

Gu Siwei said: "It's hard to say whether it's a long-term deal now. The factory wants some to taste, about five or six thousand kilograms. I won't give you any money, but I'll exchange it for some canned fruits and noodles."

It has been almost three years since the cherries were planted, and this year is the first time they bear fruit. There are not too many cherries, each plant can bear about forty or fifty kilograms.

Ordinary cherry trees naturally can't bear that many, but the cherries selected by Gu Siwei are added with ingredients. Generally, a three-year-old tree only weighs twenty or thirty pounds. After Gu Siwei added the ingredients, each one The cherry has grown two or three times, so it is naturally heavier.

So a cherry tree weighs about forty or fifty pounds.

Not all of these fruits are big, there are some that are small, or the color is a bit bad, so you have to pick them out.

Regarding cherries, Gu Siwei had big plans in mind.

Although he doesn't care about many things in Marvel now, it's mainly because he doesn't have the ability to take care of them. Many things are too professional, so Lao Gu puts his energy into farming.

Currently, there are four cherries growing in Zhuangzi, connected to his own house. The largest one is Ma Chunya's, with more than 3,000 cherries, and the least is Yang Chuanwu's, with less than 700 cherries.

It is impossible to say that all the cherries are sold, and Qiao Qisheng's factory cannot pay a huge price to exchange cherries from the villagers at once. Besides, it is still the first year, so why don't they try the water first?

So this year the total will be five to six thousand kilograms.

Gu Siwei decided to divide the five or six thousand kilograms in proportion to the number of trees each family owned. In this way, each family would have some income.

It still hasn't been changed. If it is changed, Gu Siwei can just ask his fruit company to come over and buy it. Now he can only use this method to mobilize everyone's enthusiasm for planting cherries.

After hearing this, Zheng Youcai said: "No wonder everyone in Sun Laibao's family has been grinning from ear to ear in the past two days. It turns out that there are really people who want to grow cherries."

Gu Siwei said: "It's just a trial and exploration. It's hard to say whether it will make a long-term living."

"How could it not last long? The cherries are so good, big and sweet. Let's put it this way, I have never eaten such good cherries in my entire life. The skins of each one are as smooth as if they were greased. Hey, they are really called pretty!"

Zheng Youcai said.

Nowadays, most of the people in Zhuangzi who have the strength have gone to work in the quarries. Only a few families have followed Gu Siwei and planted cherries. When the cherries have grown, they suddenly say that these cherries can be exchanged for things, so the village Some people became active again and asked about this matter.

Gu Siwei was not here some time ago, so they had no choice but to find people to ask. Now that Gu Siwei is back, they can imagine that as long as Gu Siwei shows up in the past two days, these people will definitely inquire.

Zheng Youcai said this out of pure curiosity. What kind of cherries could he grow at his age? Now that the bamboo weavings he has can be sold, he will be satisfied.

"Someone has to buy it if it's beautiful! Now... forget it, let's not talk about it." Gu Siwei waved his hand.

Now Lao Gu is looking forward to the change more and more, but unfortunately there is still a period of time, during which Gu Siwei can only stay in the country.

Not to mention him, a series of companies under Marvel also wanted to come in. Gu Siwei was eyeing the talents here. I don’t know anything else, but Gu Siwei knew that in the early 1980s, domestic companies gave up on their own due to the direction of development. To develop chips, some chip talents have changed careers.

In addition, the relationship with the United States is good, and Americans will give almost anything they want. The only thing is the lack of US dollars, so many things that should be developed have not been developed. Finally, in the new world, I found that I have to make up for this link. .

But it's no use. It's still closed now. It's like you have the best cherry in your hand, but there's no way to sell it.

We can only wait patiently and wait for the door of history to slowly open.

"Okay, I got the things, I'll give you what's yours, I'm leaving."

Gu Siwei picked up the bamboo stick and said something to Zheng Youcai.

Zheng Youcai asked: "Where is this going?"

"If the factory wants cherries, we can't leave one company alone to choose. I'll discuss it with them and see how much each company gets."

Although he had an idea in his mind, Gu Siwei still had to bring this matter to the table. By the way, he also wanted to see if the families in these early years could continue to walk at their own pace when faced with temptation.

This is very important, and Gu Siwei takes this very seriously.
