Xianyuan Farm

"Gu Boss, what are you...?" Old Hao and his mother-in-law were stunned when they saw Gu Hongyu carrying two bags of things into the hut.

Gu Hongyu chuckled: "It's nothing, it's just some food. This old woman's family will keep some. Later, Uncle Hao will send the rest to other villagers who are in urgent need of food. I don't know the situation this time, but I didn't bring much. Bring more next time!”

"Boss Gu, you have decided to help our village, haven't you...?" After hearing what Gu Hongyu just said, Old Hao's old face turned red like a child and almost jumped up.

But his tone immediately changed: "Don't worry, the difficulties in our village are all temporary. If you help our village now, we will treat it as a loan from you. When life becomes rich in the future, we will definitely return it to you!"

Old Man Hao is indeed a man of noble character. At this critical moment, he did not regard Gu Hongyu's support for them as free support, which would have to be repaid in the future. From this point on, Gu Hongyu once again looked at Old Man Hao favorably.

Of course Gu Hongyu will not refuse. He is not a saint, but there are many ways to do charity. Even if the act of giving alms is forced by the current conditions, Old Hao may accept it, but in the future he may have a feeling about it. A stuck-in-the-throat feeling.

Thinking of this, he laughed: "Uncle Hao, of course I believe that life in your village can become rich. Haojiawan Village is famous for making pottery. I will also ask for some pottery in the future. I asked you to put the pottery in the village before." The factory will be opened in Honghu Village, but now I still think it will be fine in Haojiawan Village. With the pottery factory, your village will not go hungry. "

"Is there any way out for the old man?" Old Man Hao heard the sound and understood the elegant meaning.

Now Gu Hongyu does have some ideas in his head, but he is not very mature. Old Man Hao did not answer the question. Instead, he said mysteriously: "This problem is still unsolved. If I tell you whether it can be solved, it will not make you happy in vain. I’ll tell you after it’s implemented.”

"Okay, okay!" Old Hao did not continue to ask. He opened the pocket that Gu Hongyu saw and left some biscuits and fruits for his mother-in-law and grandson. He said: "Osmanthus and florets, these are enough for you to eat for two days. I have to send the rest to other people in the village. Don't worry. I heard Boss Gu say just now, I will get a salary soon, and I won’t let you go on like this.”

"Uncle Yao, thank you so much. If you hadn't taken care of our mother-in-law and grandson for a long time, I'm afraid our family would have been ruined a long time ago. Thank you so much!" It is true that Old Hao is the party secretary in the village, but according to backup, he is higher than the eldest wife. A generation ago, so he directly called Yao Shu.

Old Man Hao said with emotion: "Thanks to the old boss this time, all of us in the village should thank him!"

"Yes, yes, yes. Thank you, old boss..."

Gu Hongyu interrupted the old woman: "No need. When no one is in trouble, I am just doing a little work. I will report the situation here to the town. This time there is a fund specifically for the treatment of poor people. I miss you." Haojiawan Village will definitely get some of it, even if it’s not much, it’s still very helpful to you.”

"Ah...really!" Old Man Hao said in surprise.

"Of course, I will lie to you about this!" He donated the sponsorship money. Gu Hongyu's answer was very confident.

"This is great, this is great..." Old Man Hao said to himself now. Maybe he had received too much good news today, and his head was still a little unable to react!

Next, Gu Hongyu followed Old Man Hao to present the food and fruits. The most intuitive feeling he had during the trip was that almost all the people left in the village were orphans and widows. There are almost no men in their prime, which is completely different from the situation in Ma'aozi Village.

Gu Hongyu directly asked him everything he saw, and Old Man Hao sighed: "Speaking of it, it is also the tragedy of our village. Many young boys who go out in our village do not ask any questions. Even if they go out to work, they only I could do some physical work, but once many young people who went out didn’t come back.”

"You don't need to press me, we'll talk as we walk." Seeing Gu Hongyu hesitate to speak, Old Man Hao said first.

"One year, a young man in our village who went out made a lot of money. He bought a house outside and took his whole family out. Later, a villager in the same village who was related to his family revealed that the man who made money in this family The job for young people is to dig coal.”

"This doesn't require much education. As long as you can endure hardship, you can earn a lot of money. If the people in the same village are afraid of poverty, everyone is willing to endure hardship. In this way, many people in the village followed in the spring of the next year, but no one expected that , that coal mine is a small privately contracted coal mine. In the past few months, many villagers also received money from their families who went to the coal mine to dig coal. However, it was not until almost half a year ago that the families of the villagers who went to the coal mine to dig coal no longer received any money. Having received the wages sent back, this naturally aroused suspicion.”

"But who knew, later our investigators found that the coal mine no longer existed. After repeated inquiries and inquiries, we finally found out that the coal mine had been sealed due to a major accident and the boss had absconded. More than 20 people were buried under it at one time. Unfortunately, most of the people in our village were victims of this accident. "

"Most of them are, but how come there are some who were not killed and your village didn't know about it, and these victims were not compensated?" It was another tragic story, but curiosity made Gu Hongyu ask again.

"What's even more irritating is right here!" Old Man Hao breathed rapidly. At this time, his emotions were very disordered.

"Originally, there were still about ten villagers who were not killed, but these people were all guys whose consciences were eaten by dogs. They were bribed by the coal mine boss, and they were bribed with a hush fee. How many of these people were there? Some of them went back to the village to pick up their families, but some of them even gave up their children after receiving the money and ran away to unknown places. Several years have passed and they have disappeared even now.”

"Do you think these people are still human beings? The child in the family was only one month old when one of the descendants left. Now the child is 5 years old. You said he could bear it without coming back to take a look. Speaking of something like this happening in Haojiawan Village It’s all embarrassing!”

"In addition to these dozens of families, the conditions of other families in Haojiawan Village are not very good. Many of the villagers should have people working outside, right?" Gu Hongyu still feels weird, why is this place so backward?

Old Man Hao has been holding back a lot of words in his heart for a long time, and he also feels uncomfortable not to spit them out. Now he met Gu Hongyu, so he poured beans out of a bamboo tube: "There are still many young people in the village who go out to work, and their idea is to leave Haojiawan Village and work in the village." If you can buy a house outside, you will not come back. Many villagers are burdened with debt to buy a house for marriage, and their lives are not much better. "

"It's okay to marry a good wife and be filial enough to take over Haojiawan's parents. But if you marry some unreasonable people, not only will the villagers not enjoy the blessings, but they will also have to help them pay off their loans. You think this doesn't count. What’s going on!”

Are there many such things? Gu Hongyu said that although he had not been in college for a long time, he had already seen a lot. When he arrived at Haojiawan Village, he saw the most realistic drama. His desire to help this village became more and more intense. strong.

"Uncle Hao, don't be sad. Your village can get better. Now everything is covered with ice and snow in winter. After spring, I will come over and find experts to inspect this place. But at least there is a pottery building here." The factory is here, and there are also some orders from me. I think these can help improve some of the living conditions in the village, right? "

"Yes, yes, now I will take you to our pottery making place." Old Hao felt much better after being explained by Gu Hongyu.

Running through the entire village, the pottery making site is located in a somewhat sloping mountain col.

"Haha, not to mention that this place is leeward, it turns out that this is a submerged corner of Haojiawan. There is a lot of soil that can be used for making pottery. The soil for making pottery here is also very good, so many people from all over the country like us. Pottery from Haojiawan Village." Old Hao was full of pride when he talked about this pottery factory.

It's indeed quite good. As a layman, Gu Hongyu can also see some clues.

I don’t know if the location where the pottery factory was built is because pottery is fired all year round. There is basically no snow in the area, and there is still some soil exposed outside the snow.

There is a place dedicated to digging clay around the pottery factory. There is an obvious cross section there, and the thickness of the clay can be clearly seen on it. According to Old Man Hao, the amount of soil in the soil layer that can be used to make pottery reaches more than ten meters. , this has not yet been dug deep into the ground, otherwise the thickness will be far more than that.

After reading these, Gu Hongyu had a general understanding of the pottery factory. It was indeed a good place for making pottery. The transportation could be improved, but the raw materials were not so easy to find.

In this aspect, Honghu Village is not comparable. Gu Hongyu is determined to do something about pottery to make this village unique and gradually attract the attention of outsiders. Maybe new opportunities will come. .

Walking in from the gap where the pottery was taken, there is a pottery kiln inside, where the jars and jars are fired. There is a large open space inside, which is now filled with wine jars and jars customized according to Gu Hongyu's requirements.

"Gu Ban, look, in front of you is the wine jar and wine vat you asked me to make. Don't worry about the quality. We have tested these with pond water and there is absolutely no problem." Old Man Hao introduced eagerly.

"Haha, I didn't say I wasn't worried about you." Gu Hongyu said a joke and then took a cursory look and said: "There is no problem with the quantity. I also brought the money this time. You can get these wines immediately." The jars and wine jars are stacked together. Today I will only take a dozen of them, and I will find another truck to load the rest.”

"Okay, what do you say we should do!" Old Hao didn't blink when he saw Gu Hongyu opening his handbag.
