I'm really just the village head

"Captain, don't you have to wait a few more days? This red potato has just begun to grow. It's a pity that I have dug now."

In the flat land of Team Six, many people were digging sweet potato with hoes.

The bulldozer is less than a hundred meters away from here.

With the efficient work of the bulldozers, in less than one morning, they had already advanced about 400 meters from the commune to the sixth team.

There were no stones along the way, although there was stone millet, before the bulldozer arrived, the stone millet had already been exploded by a cannon.

Therefore, the speed is very fast.

The bulldozers have already arrived before the red potato in many fields has been dug up.

An old man who was at least eighty years old, crouched on his waist, leaning on a cane made of a small tree, and wearing a straw hat on his head, asked Liu Chunlai.

Liu Chunlai didn't know who he was. He didn't know many people in the whole brigade.

"It's really a pity. If the roads are not repaired and the garments we produce cannot be shipped out, it will cost thousands of dollars that day, and it is even more pitiful. For a thousand dollars, how much sweet potato do we have to buy?" Liu Jiuwa asked the elderly.

The old man's lips moved, but in the end he said nothing else.

There were other people watching the excitement around, and although the pain was the same, no one raised it.

The brigade has already made it clear that if this road is not already very urgent, construction must start immediately, and it will wait a while before starting.

No one made trouble because the red potato in the ground had not yet been dug up, which also made Liu Chunlai relieved.

He himself knew that it was not that these people had no opinions in their hearts.

Land, the brigade had been retracted before.

Although they belong to each household, the brigade is responsible for all the transfers and withdrawals and the overall fundraising, and the people in each household are paid for their work.

It’s okay not to dig, the country’s food taxes and so on are borne by each family, and family members don’t even want to work in the brigade’s various projects and factories to make money.

This account will be calculated by everyone.

"If it weren't for rushing to build roads and factories, it would be a pity that these red sweet potato has been dug now."

On the way back, Tian Mingfa's expression was painful.

Looking at these sweet potato, as long as they grow for a while, they will be much bigger, and now is the peak of growth.

"It's a pity, it's a pity that the spring has said that the factory was built a day earlier, and I don't know how many red potatoes should be bought. Now the sixth team is digging with the first team and the second team. The other production teams, as long as the road construction is not involved in the more critical areas. , I haven't dug it yet." Liu Jiuwa is not a pity now.

Tian Mingfa usually only served Liu Chunlai as a dog in the brigade and county, and he didn't know how easy it was for Liu Chunlai to make money.

Originally Liu Jiuwa would also feel heartache.

When a farmer sees his crops are about to be harvested but they are destroyed, how can he not feel sad?

I didn't see that on the edge of the ground where red potato was dug before, many old people were watching. Although the ground was already in the brigade, they still had pain in their faces?

Liu Chunlai ignored them.

After walking around, I have already understood the whole road clearly. According to the old man's plan, it is not too difficult to complete in 50 days.

The only worry is the coming rainy season.

In the brigade headquarters of Yanshan Temple, most of the bricks of the house have been built.

"Spring is here, although the upper beams can wait, but these beams have not yet come back..." Liu Xingguo, who was in charge of the upper project, saw Liu Chun come up and hurriedly explained the situation.

The reservoir on the mountain is still being expanded. Anyway, it is still early to plant wheat in the second half of the year, and the wheat will not be too short of water before spring.

Liu Xingguo spends most of his time at the brigade headquarters.

"Don't the school still need code bricks." Liu Chunlai asked.

The school is nearby.

The foundation has also been laid.

Just waiting for the bricklayer to code the brick wall.

"The school is different from the brigade department. Although it is said that the ground was broken on the same day, the upper beams must not be able to be together..." Liu Xingguo was taken aback for a moment, then said.

Liu Chunlai casually dealt with a few words, saying that in the afternoon he went to the furniture factory to ask about the situation.

The house of the brigade headquarters was built on the top of the mountain, and the wind was usually strong.

When building, it is natural to consider issues such as strength.

The wall is two or four walls, that is, the thickness of two bricks laid flat is the thickness of the wall.

The demand for bricks is much larger.

The same goes for the school.

For a while, the bricks produced by Yaochangwan were somewhat unable to keep up.

Liu Chunlai did not go back to Liu Baye's house for dinner at noon, nor did he eat on the site where the brigade was built on the mountain.

It's not that he doesn't want to.

At the construction site of the mountain brigade, everyone brings their own bowls...

The dishes are all packed in pots, and so is the rice.

After being installed, people will directly pick up the mountain.

Originally, there was a short break at noon on the construction site. In order to keep up with the progress, even if it was hot at noon, it would only take a rest for less than an hour after eating. Work started at about one noon.

Liu Chunlai wanted to set a schedule, but Liu Fuwang stopped it.

Doing like that in the early stage will make people feel that this can be done for a long time, but not so hard.

As for being too hot to do it?

No problem, give up the job quota, and some people come for an eight-year salary.

In desperation, I can only go home to eat at noon.

Yang Aiqun was sitting on the threshold to eat with a large sea bowl.

In the bowl is cowpea porridge.

There are more cowpeas but less rice.

"Mom, isn't there rice at home? Why do you still eat it like this?" Liu Chunlai couldn't help frowning while looking at the rice in Yang Aiqun's bowl.

There are more cowpeas and less rice, which is fine.

But in the whole bowl, people's shadows can still be clearly illuminated.

He gave the money.

Liu Jiuwa also carried the food to her home.

After all, many people eat at his house every night.

"At noon, I was alone in the house. I worked in the afternoon. I was too thirsty to come back and drink water." Yang Aiqun had good reasons.

Liu Chunlai sighed.

I am afraid of being poor.

No one wants to eat more.

There is food, but it is saved and stored there.

"I haven't eaten yet." Liu Chun said.

"Then I will cook noodles for you? There is no egg at home. The meat I cut before will be refined into oil and put them together..." Yang Aiqun heard that his son hadn't eaten yet, and hurriedly put the bowl down and went to cook the noodles for Liu Chun.

Without her doing it, Liu Jiuwa and Tian Mingfa had entered the room unceremoniously.

"Mom, don't eat like this at noon in the future. You are working hard to reclaim the wasteland on the mountain. Although Ergou and Lean Monkey are also a share of shares, they don't get paid after all. , I have to take care of the food at noon..." Liu Chunlai reminded my old lady.

In the past few days, because Yang Aiqun was reluctant to pay the wages to ask for help, he took his father's two doglegs to open up wasteland on the mountain.

Not only had to cut the weeds on it, but also had to dig it one by one.

Digging a lot of grass roots is very laborious.

It's not the same thing to drink rice soup without any dryness or oily water.

"Let’s take care of the food. The two of them are still on the mountain, and I’ll bring them up in a while. There are six broods of chickens in my family, and the first brood will be out in a few days. The grain chickens are not big, but so many The eggs are not worth selling, and it's a pity to eat them..." Yang Aiqun saw Liu Jiuwa and Tian Mingfa going to cook, brought the bowl again, and said while eating.

Gu Zhuangji, Liu Chunlai knew.

The chicken that came out when threshing.

I don't know if it's the hot weather or what's the reason. The chicks hatched at this time of the same species are not very big.

"Mom, find someone to help reclaim the mountain. Set up a shed first. When the chicken comes out, let the old hen take the chicks to catch the insects and eat it, so that it will grow faster. There are many insects, maybe the New Year Can sell a batch..."

"What are you thinking about! The chicken I took out at this time will have to wait until next year to harvest the wheat." Yang Aiqun laughed, his son was silly after seven years of high school.

It's great to make money, but I don't know these basic common sense.

Whose chicken can't grow up for eight months and ten months to lay eggs and eat meat?

Although the grain chicken is not as long as the one carried out in the first month, it takes so much time, doesn't it?

Most people don't hold chickens at this time.

Yang Aiqun wants to run a chicken farm, and he is unwilling to spend money to buy chickens. Naturally, he can only develop it by himself.

Although it takes a long time, save money.

"Mom, the chickens are fed well and they grow fast. There are many insects in the grassland on the mountain, and it will be autumn soon, and there are also many grass seeds. There is no shortage of food, and naturally they will grow fast." Liu Chunlai can't tell others. Chickens that are fed feed will be released in two to three months.

The chickens in the chicken farm are driven out entirely by feed and hormones.

Do not let the chicken move.

Just eat without exercise, naturally you can only gain weight quickly.

"Ergou and Lean Monkey are still staring at the sun, and they don’t have much to eat at home. They don’t even have enough to eat at noon. It won’t be long before people are worn down, and they have to spend money to hire people. Not to mention, they have to see a doctor..."

Liu Chunlai also didn't force his old mother to do anything.

Just tell the truth.

The old lady is shrewd, forgetting everything, and calculating how cost-effective is, naturally.

Sure enough, when Liu Jiuwa threw the noodles into the pot, Yang Aiqun asked him to prepare more noodles, and she sent it to Ergou and Lean Monkey in a while.

"How do you convince Auntie Aiqun?"

Liu Jiuwa watched Yang Aiqun leave with two bowls of noodles filled with lard, and asked Liu Chunlai.

Liu Chunlai just smiled, not talking.

There are some things that cannot be explained.

After eating, Liu Chunlai went to the furniture factory again.

Now because of the Quanyou brand, and the price is less than 500, it is far from Bayi. Although the board is much thinner, it is still popular with customers.

The gap of a few hundred dollars!

For dual-income families, it takes months to save money.

How about the almost quality?

They are used anyway.

Under such circumstances, the furniture factory is naturally very busy.

"You came just right, something happened at the timber factory. The director Su Qingping brought a group of people and set up a private factory directly. The Linjiang timber factory will soon be out of stock. Su Qingping asked their sales chief Yang Bin asked me in private, hoping that we would get wood from them..."

As soon as Liu Chunlai arrived at the furniture factory, Zhang Changgui complained to him.

"When is it?" Liu Chunlai frowned.

He was not optimistic about the situation of Linjiang Timber Factory.

The leading cadres in the factory did not take the business of the factory too seriously.

The technicians are more reliable.

I heard that Su Qingping wanted to contract a lumber factory, but he also contacted Liu Fuwang in private.

They offered to supply the goods at a price 10% lower than the price of Linjiang Timber Factory.

Liu Fuwang was very excited at the time. If Liu Chunlai disagreed, I guess there would be nothing about Linjiang Timber Factory now.

Bayi Furniture Factory is the largest customer of Linjiang Timber Factory.

Once there is no such customer, the timber factory will only be closed down, and it will eventually be contracted by Su Qingping.

"This morning. I just came back from the county seat..." Zhang Changgui told what he knew.

He actually doesn't know much.

Originally, I went to the wood factory to talk to managers about increasing the supply of wood, but when I went there, I found that there were only a few technicians left.

Su Qingping almost emptied the entire timber factory, and everyone also dug away.

They set up a new timber factory, which is attached to a unit in the city...

"So, we have a problem with the supply of raw materials?" Liu Chunlai asked Zhang Changgui, squinting his eyes.

Zhang Changgui did not understand Liu Chunlai’s thoughts, “If we use the wood provided by Su Qingping, it will not be out of stock. I guess it is because our demand is currently expanding, and it is basically impossible for them to contract a lumber mill. So we have to come out. Do it yourself..."

He didn't understand why Liu Chunlai was unwilling to cooperate with Su Qingping.

For the same source of goods, even the price provided by Su Qingping is much cheaper.

With the introduction of cheaper Quanyou furniture to the market, almost the same style as Bayi, the order has increased a lot, and the demand for raw materials is naturally greater.

It will be too late if Su Qingping does not start.

Liu Chunlai's furniture factory seems to be a collective industry, but Zhang Changgui understands that Liu Chunlai is the largest shareholder.

"You don't need them. Once the supply is in their hands, our future development depends on their faces!" Liu Chunlai shook his head, "You don't know who he is..."

Immediately explained the situation of the first visit to the timber factory.

At that time, Su Qingping was working on the idea of ​​a timber factory.

This is understandable.

But once there is no other source of goods, Bayi Furniture Factory can only be controlled by others. At a critical moment, if the other party wants to increase the price, what else can be done besides accepting it?

Especially after expanding the scale later.

Some small timber mills in the surrounding area simply cannot meet their needs.

From the upper reaches of the Jialing River, the demand for each terminal along the way is basically predicted in advance.

"But now..."

"How long can our wood be available now?" Liu Chunlai asked.

"Half a month."

"Then it's okay. Production will continue. I'll go to the county first, and then I will come back to see you." Liu Chunlai had a conclusion in his heart.

With such a busy schedule, even the Fang Liang purlins needed by the brigade headquarters and school have forgotten to ask.

"Tian Mingfa, if I let you go out alone, is there any problem?" Liu Chunlai asked Tian Mingfa on the way to the commune.

Tian Mingfa stopped immediately.

For a while, I don't know what Liu Chunlai meant.

Out?

Where to go?

I have been to the county as far as I can.

"Go to the Wang Family at the junction of the three counties. It's not far from the upper reaches of the Jialing River..." Liu Chunlai directly said where Tian Mingfa was going.
