National Beer

"When Dad Xiaoju and I were working, we went back to the village on August 15th. At that time, every family in the village could only buy one catty of mooncakes, and one catty per four. It was not cheap. Some families were so poor. I can’t even afford a catty, so I fry some peanuts myself, roll them up, add sugar and wrap them on fire instead of moon cakes...

On days like this, Liu Zhi knew that before marrying Qin Shihuang, the Qin family could not afford moon cakes for several years. Later, they bought a jin with colleagues and neighbors, and then they could eat moon cakes. Now they not only need to eat, but also Served with beer and a table of dishes.

As the saying goes, eat the sea by the sea, the dishes on the table in the yard are naturally seafood, such as Spanish mackerel, yellow croaker, goby, crab...

September and October are when the crabs are fat and plump. In addition, the old Qinwan people also have the habit of eating roast chicken during the Mid-Autumn Festival. The roast chicken is not only eaten by itself, but also given to the elderly. This kind of roast chicken is boiled and smoked, and added Serve brown sugar...

"Come on, there will be plenty of grains." Liu Zhi smiled and brought taro, sweet potatoes, peanuts, and corn to the table. In Qinwan, this dish also has a name, which is called "Kill you".

"Well, Dadong, you are busy, I can't see you lately..." Du Yuan was eating peanuts, but he seemed worried.

"What's the matter, brother?" Wu Geng handed over the cigarette, and the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion of thousands of families. This is a happy day. It is reasonable to say that Du Yuan started cooking early. This is not what he looks like.

Du Yuan sighed and took out a newspaper, "Look, the fool is in jail again..."

Oh?

The name of a fool is known throughout the country.

On September 25 of this year, "Fool" failed to escape the second prison for many years.

This illiterate who didn't know the big words and couldn't understand the account books was arrested and imprisoned for corruption and embezzlement of public funds.

Two years ago, the well-known "fool" co-founded a melon seed factory. He couldn't understand the standardized accounts prepared according to the accounting system, so the financial affairs of the company were naturally a silly account. He argued: "I know that you come in. How much money you can go out."

"Dadong, how do you manage the accounts in your factory?" Du Yuan asked with concern.

"The accountant in the village will keep the accounts for now." Qin Dong looked at the newspaper. He knew that the fool's matter was his previous life. This was also a national sensation.

His case dragged on for two years, and it was finally found that although his accounts were unclear, it did not constitute corruption or embezzlement. However, the court eventually sentenced him to two years in prison for hooliganism.

What's interesting is that in 1992, the great man suddenly talked about this "fool" in a conversation during the Southern Tour. After more than a month, Nian Guangjiu was acquitted and returned home.

"This year's situation is not good. I heard that some individual businesses have closed their business, not many." Wu Geng said.

The economic situation is not good, the whole country is the same, Hope Group can hardly recruit one person.The director of the chemical plant in Xiaoshan County, Zhejiang Province, who bought back a spoonful of salt for 2,000 yuan, wanted to shut down his factory. The mayor was afraid of losing his major taxpayer, so he declared a county model worker at the end of the year. He settled down.

"I am a model worker, and a provincial model worker," Qin Dong said with a smile, "I will not make mistakes."

This year, China's corporate reforms fell into a "cold spring".

Later, Li Shufu, who was famous for making cars, built a refrigerator factory called "Arctic Flower" in Taizhou at this time. Of course, it was a non-designated factory without a birth certificate. He was clamoring for non-designated refrigerator factories in Hangzhou. , He hurriedly donated the factory, and then took a sum of money to study at a university in Shenzhen.

"Qin Dong, there will be nothing wrong with the second factory and the carton factory, right?" Du Xiaoju stood behind Qin Dong at some point with concern, and Liu Zhi and Xiaoju mother also walked out of the kitchen.

"What can happen?" Qin Dong smiled, "I am a contractor for the second factory, and I pay profits to the factory every year. This is the same as in Xiaogang Village."

As for the carton factory, "Yes, the carton factory, what should I do?" This is what Du Yuan cares about the most. He heard Du Xiaoju mention that the carton factory is now a "daily gold", but he can't take any risks.

"The carton factory is the Yanjiadu Carton Factory, a collective enterprise." Qin Dong smiled. After rebirth, he was not in a hurry to open his own factory. He didn't want to repeat the same mistakes. He just opened the factory. The factory is his own, and it is also the name of the village collective. .

"By the way, Dad, you reminded me," Qin Dong filled Du Yuan with beer, "In this way, let Xiaoju take care of the carton factory's accounts. Also, Old Man Yan, who is good at Chinese in the village , Someone has to go to the battle, Dad, you can help me take care of it more."

"Well, I was leaning at Yanjiadu when I was off work." Du Yuan immediately agreed. He is an old policeman, and he has his own evil spirits. He manages the carton factory, and the villagers dare not rape or skid.

"Then you have to pay another salary to the old man?" Wu Geng joked.

"No problem, my dad will be the director of the factory in the future." Qin Dong said formally.

"The factory manager can't talk about it, let's not talk about the family." Du Yuan was naturally happy when he saw that he was being treated.

Du Xiaoju looked at Qin Dong with a smile, and she was even more happy.

Xiaoju mother smiled and put a plate of shrimps and tigers on the table. Now the girl is enjoying the blessing, and the old man is taking double wages, um, son-in-law, good!...

The men were drinking and the women were eating vegetables. Before the wine was finished, Xiao Ju Ma brought willow branches, Xiao Ju, Qin Nan and Wu Yue to worship the sky and the moon.

"August and fifteen months are round, watermelon moon cakes respect God, God is happy, and keep safe throughout the year."

Xiaoju’s mother said something: "Bless my girl, the girl’s son-in-law, a safe journey..."

...

Qin Nan didn't return to the grassland because he went to school. The two of them opened a letter of introduction at the work unit and took their ID cards. On the second day of August 15th, they boarded the train to Hohhot.

Of course, their goal is not Hohhot, but the Ulijitu brigade of Abaaqiyihe Gaole Commune of Xilin Gol League. This is where the Qin family lived for ten years.

Qin Dong wanted to take a plane, but Du Xiaoju hadn't even taken a train before, so he changed his mind.

Throughout the 1980s and even the 1990s, in Qin Dong's memory, the fastest train speed was less than 100 kilometers per hour. "It's difficult and slow to travel" is his biggest feeling.

Therefore, every time he travels on business in later generations, he will choose the way of travel by plane, and he no longer wants to think of the green train, or the mixed smell of toilet, instant noodles and feet.

Seeing Qinwan away from the window, he was excited, Du Xiaoju also looked forward to it, although this kind of green-skinned train from Qinwan to Hohhot would take days and nights, unlike later high-speed trains, which would only take a few hours. Up.

The two sat down in the soft sleeper berth, and Qin Dong looked at the oncoming green train-thirty years later, it has become a memory of the era.At this time, those bad memories of the year are slowly fading.

The window glass of the train was gray, and the surface of each carriage looked very shabby, and the iron sheet around the windows was rusty. It was summer, but the green leather carriage was covered with a thick layer of black kerosene.

Along with the noise in the green train carriages, the slow-moving scenery outside the carriages is also full of a kind of alternative firework. The kind of unhurried, slow, unhurried and unhurried in the late 1980s made Qin Dong feel a touch of warmth. calm.
