Dashan Makes a Living 1984

Chapter 223 Chapter 219: Great Harvest

At that time, Wang Tianxiao paid for electricity in the village, and now everyone basically enjoys the fun of pulling electricity. When the bright lights came out, the common people realized that technological progress had reached the point where they had to accept it. Some people with a little spare money even I'm about to buy a TV.

So many people were very grateful to Wang Tianxiao afterwards, thinking that if he hadn't helped everyone advance the money back then, and everyone was still waiting and watching, it would have been impossible for the electricity to come to Wangjiacun so quickly.

Then how to enjoy this kind of fun?

His goal was basically achieved. Not only was the electricity connected, so that people in the station and Wangjia Village could use electricity, but he also accumulated contacts.

A good thing that kills two birds with one stone.

He is like a farmer who is silently working hard in spring. It seems that many things are just giving in the early stage, but slowly, when autumn comes, everything will be harvested.

Those things that he used to manage with his heart finally brought him rich harvest.

He was going back to the village to recruit people.

.

In the evening, after eating at his mother's house, Wang Tianxiao went to find Wang Tianbao.

After Wang Hongwei's incident, the relationship between Wang Tianxiao and his mother took another step closer.

Wang Tianxiao thought in his heart that maybe his mother didn't like him before, and it had something to do with him being too withdrawn, not very good at expressing, and having a low EQ.

Maybe people in later generations don't quite understand why people who are also born into the same family will have a lot of partiality from their parents.

This is actually understandable.

Because parents are also ordinary people, people will have likes and dislikes.

They are also their own children. Some children are sweet-talking, they love their parents in everything, and they share things with their parents, while some children are introverted and not very expressive. They just love their parents ignorantly.

If there is only one child, parents can keenly see the child's love.

But if there are too many children, parents can't observe them at all.

They may have spent a lot of energy in order to live every day, and they have no time to take into account the mood of the children, so he only likes two kinds of children, one is very good, and the other is the child who likes to cry.

The former can make them face and honor without having to worry about it.

And the latter, because it can attract their attention.

And those children who are neither outstanding nor like to cry will eventually become the children whose parents pay the least attention.

It has nothing to do with listening or not.

If you regard parents as the boss of a business and the family as a business, then the boss does not like the most obedient person, but the person who can behave, come to things and be outstanding.

It's... all the same.

Wang Tianxiao didn't want to continue to be as stubborn as he was in his personal life, wrapping himself under many spikes like a hedgehog.

It seems to protect himself, but it also blocks the possibility of others approaching him.

As a result, he failed to achieve anything in his life. If the children in his later years were not more promising, he might never leave that small mountain village in his whole life.

Why bother.

That kind of road is really worth continuing, right?

He disagrees.

In this life, he has changed his way of life, trying to be more considerate of others in everything. Thinking about it, not everyone has a lot of hatred for each other, and it may be that many times it is just a difference in life and outlook on life.

You can't expect others to be the same as you.

If you have your own ideas, then others will also have other people's ideas. If you get angry and neglect others just because others are different from you, wouldn't it be too pitiful and too tiring.

He doesn't want that anymore.

And after I became softer, the world seemed to become much gentler.

Wherever he went, as long as he wasn't the kind of punk or someone who was ready to cause trouble, most people could get along friendly.

It is also because of this that I got to know a boss like Zhang Wenyuan, an enthusiastic senior like Mi Qingsong, an intellectual with ambitions and ideals like Mi Liang, and acquainted with these people who are not very educated, but warm and simple. some people.

He used his own warmth to let Wang Xiaolan have his own ideals and goals, and went to the provincial capital to re-study.

Let Li Guanping have such an interesting wife as Mi Xiaoqing.

The tragedy of Wang Hongwei's untimely death was avoided.

All of these are not all positive feedback from life after he changed.

He didn't want to change the people around him, but because of his friendliness and enthusiasm, the people around him gradually changed.

What a comforting thing this is.

He, Wang Tianxiao, in his past and present lives, is actually the kind of person who regards the people around him as more important than himself. This is his character.

However, in his previous life, all he gained was bitterness.

But this life is like walking into a garden, even if there are sporadic thorns, most of the time, it is fragrant.

It's just...comfortable.

On a summer night, there is a faint heat in the air.

Everyone sat at the door and chatted with the neighbors.

This may be the last leisurely day before summer.

There are still about twenty days until the wheat harvest, and they will be busy at that time.

In this era, there are no harvesters, and everything has to be harvested manually.

After cutting, it needs to be pulled back with a flatbed truck a little bit, and a tractor is used to grind it. More often, people have to beat it by hand.

Beat it over and over again.

After hammering, it needs to be raised, dried, etc., and it has been busy for more than half a month.

When the work is over, it is estimated that it will be mid-August in the Gregorian calendar.

Therefore, taking advantage of the current season, people should fully enjoy the rare leisure time.

At this time, there are many people in the village.

Almost every family has a dozen or even twenty or thirty members.

Walking all the way from the small road in the village, there are people at the door of every house. Everyone is holding a small horse and forming a group, chatting lively and lively.

Most of the men are talking about how beautiful their yard is, and whose land is well planted. In the dark, the sparks of the smoke pot are dotted, red and black, like some small animal in the dark small eyes.

The women, on the other hand, gathered together to hold the soles of their shoes.

Most of them have practiced very exquisite craftsmanship, even if they don't need to look at it, they can make the soles very well even in the dark.

Women talk about different things than men.

They talked about whose daughter-in-law is lazy again, whose mother-in-law is too tempered, whose child has not yet married a wife, whose daughter is making money outside, how much money is sent home a year, and so on.

When it comes to things in the positive direction, they all sigh with envy.

And when encountering those bad gossips, the honest woman will not say anything and do things silently.

Those who are sharp-tongued are immediately shocked, standing on the commanding heights of morality and degrading others to nothing.

It wasn't until people from other people's families got involved that they changed the subject, as if they had never said anything just now.

They are always chatting with people who are not there.

There were bursts of cicadas and frogs, and crickets were chirping excitedly in the grass.

Because of the lighting of Artemisia annua, the mosquitoes did not dare to get too close to the people chatting, and the children who were running and playing with paper airplanes did not care about the many bumps on their bodies.

Maybe when I sleep at night, I will scratch because it is too itchy in the dark, but when I play, I don't notice it at all.

The child's world is so simple.

When you're happy, you don't notice anything, it's genuine happiness.

When you are sad, you cry, it is really sad.

Unlike adults, when you are happy, in order not to let others feel that you are very proud, you must always be humble and low-key.

And when you are sad, because you don't want others to see that you are disappointed, you will deliberately cover it up.

Therefore, children will cry and cry.

As for the grown-ups... they all covered their faces and wept.

Wang Tianxiao and Wang Dabao were walking on the path in the village, the summer wind was blowing on his face, smelling the familiar fragrance of Sophora japonica flowers in the air, he felt very at ease.

This is the country life he wants.

In a big city, what an old man dreams about countless times is nothing more than this.

The two asked each family along the village road, and if anyone was willing to sign up, they would register.

In fact, Wang Dabao and Wang Tianxiao knew who worked hard in the village, who liked to make soy sauce or take advantage of small things.

So they are asking those who can do things.

And these people, who were worrying about how to spend so much time these days, suddenly had such a good opportunity, who would not want it.

Only about 40 households left, and more than 80 people signed up.

Many families wished that the whole family would be dispatched.

But Wang Tianxiao still controls the situation with a maximum of two people in each family.

If the family has a lot of trips, it may become a small group, and it is not easy to greet. If something unpleasant happens, there is no room for change.

Moreover, Wang Tianxiao also wanted to give everyone a chance.

This kind of opportunity to make money is actually a good thing that can't be met for these people on the team. If only some people are selected, the other people will definitely be unhappy and feel alienated from them.

People in the village are like this, there is no secret about anything, it is easy to spread, and everyone thinks about the problem very simply, often it is black and white.

If you offend them, the connections you have cultivated before will disappear completely.

Therefore, the next family, no matter how strongly they expressed that they could have a few more people, were rejected by Wang Tianxiao with a smile.

Only a maximum of two people are allowed.

I didn't expect that it would be like this, and by the time the people with young strength had left, more than two hundred and eighty people had been recorded.

Except for some families where there are only old men and old ladies left, which is really unacceptable, young people's families basically have people.

In order to thank Wang Dabao, he took out the cigarettes he had been carrying from the motorcycle trunk and gave him one.

Hongta Mountain.

For Wang Dabao, it is considered a very good smoke.

Wang Tianxiao is not stingy at all about this kind of thing. This captain is not only his cousin, but also a warm-hearted person. If he wants to develop in this village or display more ambitions in the future, Wang Dabao must be a primitive man. supporter.

Ensuring a good relationship is inevitable.

Now that enough workers have been recruited, when Wang Tianxiao and Wu Wenhua went back at night, Li Guanping and the others roughly calculated the tasks and decided to take some of them first.

It is estimated that people in a large area will have to wait a week later.

The original plan was that one hundred people would need to work for two or three weeks, but now the number has almost tripled, so the speed of work can be at least doubled.

It is estimated that it will be done in ten days.

After making the arrangements, Wang Tianxiao designated some candidates, and informed them to come and work first the next day.

More than thirty people.

Wu Wenhua and Wu Qiancai, Mi Xiaohong each lead ten people, Li Guanping and Mi Xiaoqing just observe around

There are still few people at the moment, and people from the station can be used to lead the team. The first batch of thirty or so people he selected are all people who feel a little responsible or have organizational skills. He also wants to find some people from these people who can serve as Team leader, team leader, when people come in a large area, they can lead the team.

Wang Tianxiao actually has a bigger idea, whether it is planting herbs or breeding in the future, he needs some people.

He must be too busy himself, so what to do, he must be selected from these people.

Just now is the proving ground.

Whoever can stand out can be used by him.

Not to mention being rich and expensive, eating delicious food and drinking hot food will definitely not be difficult in this era.

He stood on the edge of the cliff, watching everyone below gradually enter a busy state, the mountain wind blows head-on, and there are bursts of coolness, which is very pleasant.

He is also full of pride.

This is his mountain, his proving ground.

After working hard for more than half a year, it is finally the harvest season.

After looking at it for a while, Wang Tianxiao went to the town by bicycle, bought half a pig and came back, wholesaled a few cartons of cigarettes and some wine.

At the end of the day, he will give out a pack of cigarettes to everyone, and then give out some pork and wine to take home.

Money is money, which is an added bonus.

It doesn't cost much, and it can not only make a better impression of myself in everyone's mind, promote the enthusiasm for working later, but also actually improve everyone's life.

Many people who come here today cannot afford meat all year round because of the poor conditions of their families.

If you can get some meat back from working here, you will definitely be very happy, and it will also promote your enthusiasm for working next time.

The lunch meal was cooked by Li Yali.

Old man Liu Yuan was also helping Li Yali light the fire.

More than 30 people, including the original people in the station, still need food for more than 40 people. Even if Wang Tianxiao brought back some cold dishes, there is still a lot to cook.

Just stir-fried cabbage and sliced ​​meat with vermicelli, and it was a whole big pot.

It was fried with pork and had large slices of fatty meat inside.

People in this era don't eat meat like later generations. They only like to eat lean meat, and basically don't want fat meat. Most of them are used for cooking braised pork or something.

Now everyone has never eaten any meat, and the fat in pork is the part that really emits fragrance. The working people like to eat fat meat the most.

It's white, and it tastes good.

Fortunately, now is the peak season for many dishes.

At the beginning of spring, Li Yali opened up a three to four quarters large vegetable field around the station, and planted cucumbers, eggplants, beans, peppers and other common vegetables in it.

By now, the vegetables have been harvested in abundance.

As long as you want to eat, go to the vegetable field and pick it ready-made.

Cold cucumber, steamed eggplant, spinach and egg soup, all of them are served in big pots anyway.

It's hot, so I'm not afraid that I can't eat it if it's cold.

When ready, with Liu Yuan's help, Wang Tianxiao moved all the tables to the open space outside, covered them with a layer of oilcloth, and then moved all the dishes out. Each dish will be divided into two parts to ensure that there are two sides. All can be eaten.

And prepare face towels and water for everyone in advance.

After 11:00 noon, everyone came back from work. The temperature in the mountains was very high, and everyone's face was red and a little depressed.

But when I got on the platform of the station and saw all kinds of food that had been prepared long ago, I immediately felt much cooler.

Some people who haven't eaten much good food even seem to be drooling.

After washing their faces one by one, everyone picked up steamed buns from the basket and ate them.

Li Yali enthusiastically helped everyone serve the soup, and kept telling everyone to eat slowly, if there was not enough, they could continue to fry.

Wang Tianxiao opened two bottles of wine, so that everyone can drink less, just to relieve fatigue, and drink to their heart's content after work in the afternoon.

Everyone thinks it's a good idea.

It's lively, the food is very happy, and the atmosphere is very active.

They all lamented that Wang Tianxiao is really good, he can provide such a good opportunity for everyone to earn money and eat good food.

You can even drink and smoke good cigarettes.

I really never dreamed that I could live such a good life in front of my own house.

Wang Tianxiao said confidently to everyone that if he works hard, there are still many things waiting to be done.

But it also implicitly expressed the possibility that if you don't do well, you will be eliminated.

Everyone also understands.

They are all workers. Whoever does a good job will definitely have a chance, and whoever does not do a good job will definitely be rejected.

People who are really stealing, cheating, and playing tricks will not appear in this team.

"Everyone, everyone has also seen that my work in the mountains and plains is waiting to be done. However, even if the whole mountain is full of work, it still cannot guarantee that everyone can come here to do work. So, we must It’s about having a judgment on everyone who does the work.”

"Uncle Tianxiao, we all know that you don't need to say this at all. If you don't work hard, we shouldn't take money, and we are even more sorry for such a good white flour steamed bun."

"Haha, that's right, Tianxiao, don't worry, you don't know us people, there are no people who don't work hard. You must let us come here first, you must think highly of us, and we still eat and drink Serving them with good wine and good meat, if we don’t do it well, then we are still human.”

"That's right, I'm talking about Tianxiao's nephew, so don't worry about it. Let me make a statement to you, everyone here is my junior. If anyone doesn't work hard, let's not say that Tianxiao disagrees, I will first I don't agree."

"Yes Yes Yes."

"..."

Seeing what everyone said, Wang Tianxiao smiled and nodded.

"That's good. I'm a real person. I always speak directly. I treat you sincerely. If you treat me well, then we can maintain it for a long time. Many of you are my brothers and sisters from the same family, and I don't want to say too much. Come, it's all in the wine."

"Come, drink."

"Cheerful, it's been a long time since I've been so happy, I've been honored by Tianxiao."

Wang Tianxiao and his wife looked at each other across the crowd and smiled slightly.

The intense harvest continues in the afternoon.

The first wave of work that was supposed to be done in two days ended before it got dark.

When I came back, I weighed it, and it was more than 2,700 catties.

On average, each person has an output of about ninety catties, which is quite fast.

Wang Tianxiao asked everyone to move all the packed herbal medicine bags into the warehouse.

More than forty bags were filled.

A small half of the warehouse was piled up.

After coming out, it was another meal.

Before eating, Wang Tianxiao first calculated the wages for each person according to the output they harvested, and distributed the changed change to everyone.

Originally, he set a penny and five cents for a catty, but now that the harvest is good, he simply mentioned two cents.

Those who work fast can earn more than two yuan a day today, and pay back two meals, and get back a little pork and a pack of cigarettes.

The gains are not small.

Wang Tianxiao also considered the pricing.

Because the daily salary of everyone in the station is now two yuan, how can I say that these temporary hires should not be higher than the old employees in the station.

Otherwise, it will hit Wu Wenhua and their enthusiasm.

In Wang Tianxiao's previous life, he heard from Wang Peng that the bosses of many companies did not pay much attention to old employees, and the wages of new employees recruited were much higher than those of old employees.

As a result, many old employees had no choice but to leave.

He doesn't want to do it.

These people followed him from scratch and suffered so much, he couldn't lose everyone.

He wants to ensure that these people's life will not only get better and better, but also better than most people.

When this year's harvest is over, he plans to raise everyone's salary to more than 100 yuan a month.

He just wants to let everyone know that if you work hard and do things seriously, you won't treat them badly and you can live a good life.

Including in the future, he will build deer farms and sheep farms, and he will also remove these people to be in charge in the past, and his income will also increase at that time.

After his profits rise, he will continue to increase everyone's income.

Let everyone live happily.

Nothing to say all night.

The next morning, as soon as Wang Tianxiao got up, the car from the supply and marketing station arrived.

This is an appointment with Mi Qingsong in advance, and the first batch of herbs will be taken away by the supply and marketing station.

When Wang Tianxiao saw this car, he couldn't help sighing secretly.

When I bought the seeds, it was also the car and the driver. In the blink of an eye, it has been almost a year, and the original seeds have turned into medicinal herbs.

And in the past year, many things have happened to him.

Also changed a lot.

I have gained a lot.

Everyone worked together to load all the herbs into the car.

Wang Tianxiao continued to follow the car to the town.

When he arrived, he saw Mi Qingsong coming out to meet him. He untied a few bags, grabbed some dandelions and wormwood from inside, looked at the colors, put them under his nose and smelled them, nodded and sighed with satisfaction: "It's still This kind of herbal medicine grown in the mountains is more medicinal."

"Haha, thanks to Mi Lao's guidance, otherwise, I, a layman like me, would not be able to plant them, and I can wait until the harvest season."

"Xiao Wang, you are fine in everything, but there is one thing that I think needs to be changed." Mi Qingsong said dissatisfied.

"What?" Wang Tianxiao was taken aback.

"It's you, you are too modest."

something, a little late.

8000 words will be updated tomorrow as compensation.
