Maixiang Village, Dongtou, Lao Wangjia.

"Second Grandpa is such a good person, why did he leave so soon?" Jiang Hongguo was wearing an apron and standing beside the stove, holding a long wooden pot in his hand, and the wooden pot lid was leaning against the wall.

On the shelf, the water in the pot is boiling, and the noodles are rolling in the pot with the boiling water, but my thoughts are a little far away, and I am quite emotional.

Wang Zhong was spreading pancakes next to him and said: "There is an old saying: People are rare when they reach seventy. My second grandfather was already ninety-two, and he immediately rushed to ninety-three. There is no one in our team who can live longer than him."

"Second Grandpa, this is the end of his life."

"You said that Second Grandpa is not incompetent, so why didn't he marry a wife and have a child?" Jiang Hongguo asked doubtfully.

"I've never heard anyone mention this matter." Wang Zhong had some guesses in his mind. The second grandfather was educated and his family must have been well off when he was young. And based on his attitude towards Ma Renli's father, there may be some

Old things.

But now that everyone is gone, and Ma Datou has been gone for decades, Wang Zhong is too lazy to be criticized and criticized anymore.

"You're so curious, why don't you go to the village and ask someone about it?"

"No, no!" Jiang Hongguo hurriedly shook her head. The second grandpa had just left, and the second grandpa's prestige in the team was not low. The Niu family was a wealthy family in the village, and she was not stupid. How could she not be happy rushing to find her at this time?

"By the way, now that the villagers have cultivated their own land, are you still willing to work in the oil mill and pig farm?" Wang Chong smiled and did not point out: "Why don't you want to go? The work in the fields is also

It will allow the villagers to have enough to eat. If you want to make money, you still have to rely on these agricultural and sideline industries."

"The policies from above have been getting better and better in the past few years. Maybe in a few years, when the economy develops, even the policy of unified purchase and sales will be abolished."

"No way?" Jiang Hongguo couldn't believe it.

"We are about to enter a new era. Nothing is impossible." Wang Chong said with a smile: "Maybe there will be more things and new things that we can't understand in the future."

Zhang Zhang's freshly baked pancakes were placed on the grate by Wang Zhong. Most of these thin pancakes were prepared for his youngest daughter Tzuyu, who is in high school in the county. In addition to the pancakes, there was also meat sauce that Wang Zhong had packed in cans and bottles.

, the meat sauce is made of beef or mutton, and paired with soaked dried vegetables such as Xianggu, day lily, fungus, etc. It has a unique taste and rich layers. Tzuyu likes it very much.

"That's right!" Jiang Hongguo nodded. The couple chatted for a long time, and then talked about the eldest and second son who were far away in Peiping. Now the eldest and second son have entered the first semester of their senior year.

I am about to face two paths: graduation or postgraduate entrance examination.

Ziping and Zi'an are both very young. If they take the postgraduate entrance examination again, they will really be delayed. They know this very well, so they made it clear in the letters they sent home that they have already started to prepare for the application.

Prepare for work in your country of origin.

Wang Zhong has no intention of interfering with the choices of the two brothers. It is worth mentioning that Zian, who has an out-of-the-way temperament, is still single, but Zi Ping, who usually prefers to be quiet and bookish, is actually dating.

A girlfriend.

The next morning, Jiang Hongguo had already helped Wang Zhong put everything into the canvas satchel.

"Ride slowly on the road!" Jiang Hongguo warned while cleaning up, and Wang Zhong didn't find it annoying at all.

"What do you want me to bring back?" Wang Zhong asked.

"Then bring back some salt and soy sauce! There is only half a bottle of soy sauce left at home."

"Okay! Then I'm leaving!"

"Be careful when riding."

"Don't worry!" This bicycle at home was bought after the eldest and second child worked in the commune for half a year. Although the other people in the brigade were jealous, they had nothing to say. Who told their children not to study seriously and not be able to enter the commune?

.

Wang Zhong rode his bicycle to the county. He first went to the county high school and met his daughter Ziyu, who had just entered the first year of high school.

"Dad!" Seeing her biological father, Ziyu's little face was immediately filled with smiles.

"I brought you pancakes, meat sauce, and my new sachet with your favorite osmanthus in it, which can help you sleep."

"Thank you, dad!" Ziyu happily took the package handed over by Wang Zhong, the smile on his face became brighter, and he happily kissed Wang Zhong on the side of his face.

Wang Zhong took out a dollar from his pocket and handed it to Tzuyu: "Don't just eat pancakes. To grow in shape, nutrition must be balanced. Vegetables are essential. Don't be reluctant to spend money." Tzuyu was happy.

He kissed Wang Zhong again on the face.

A pound of meat is only 70 to 80 cents. A junior worker’s monthly salary is thirty to forty yuan. The purchasing power of one dollar is very strong. Jiang Hongguo usually gives Tzuyu five cents and ten cents as pocket money.

Wang Zhong is so generous.

After leaving school, Wang Zhong went straight to find Zhou Yihu.

"Wang Zhong, Wang Zhong, you don't go to the Three Treasures Palace for anything!" Seeing Wang Zhong, Zhou Yihu's face was also full of smiles, especially the huge increase in output of the Maixiang Brigade in the past two years, which proved that Zhou Yihu

The path we are taking is feasible, and Zhou Yihu will have more confidence in speaking and doing things.

"I really can't hide anything from you. I really have something to ask of you."

"Hey!" Zhou Yihu hurriedly stretched out his palms to block: "Stop it, let me slow down for a while and do some mental construction." Wang Zhong laughed hoarsely: "Secretary Zhou, when did you learn to do Tai Chi?"

"By the way, it's noon. Have you had lunch?"

"Not yet, why do you want to eat from me again?"

"Look at what you said, am I that kind of person? Now that I have come to ask you to do something for me, I can't do it empty-handed. I can't let the horse run away without giving it grass to eat!"

"I made some pancakes by myself, and brought some sauce and green onions. Let's find a place. I'll provide the food, and you'll provide the wine. Let's drink some and talk while we drink?"

"I don't have any wine here!" Zhou Yihu said.

"Then it seems that you can only use mine!" As he spoke, Wang Zhong took out a clay pot from his satchel like a magic trick: "The medicinal wine I brewed by myself has the effect of tonifying the body and replenishing qi. It is just suitable for your current situation."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Let's go to the cafeteria." In the cafeteria, the two of them sat opposite each other. Wang Zhong took out the things from the bag one by one. Zhou Yihu got straight to the point: "

First tell me what’s going on!”

"Isn't it now that household production has been guaranteed? The enthusiasm of the villagers has been raised to the highest level. It is unlikely that our Maixiang Brigade will have big development in the short term, but we can set our sights on the future."

"Put it in the future?" Zhou Yihu took the pancake handed over by Wang Zhong, removed a green onion, scooped out a spoonful of fragrant sauce, spread it on shredded cucumber bought from the canteen, rolled it up and took a big bite.

"Tell me what you think." Wang Zhongdao: "Now is a new era. Manpower alone is not enough. Technology is the primary productive force. Over the years, our country has developed a lot of agricultural machinery. I think that only by using

Only when machinery replaces manpower can we further promote production, free up the hands of the villagers, allow them to have more time to spend on agricultural and sideline industries, and better improve the living conditions of the villagers." Zhou Yihu's eyes brightened the more he listened.

, with deep surprise in his eyes, he didn't even bother to eat the pancake in his hand: "You kid really surprised me."

"But I don't have much time. Tell me, what do you want me to help you with?" Zhou Yihu didn't bother to talk about the nonsense, and went straight to the topic with Wang Zhong.

"There are many young people in our brigade who have read books. Although they have not read much, they are not stupid. They just have not been admitted to college. I want to ask you to help find a way to give them exposure to and learn mechanics.

, the best is an opportunity for agricultural machinery, the salary does not need to be paid, and we can provide food and accommodation ourselves, as long as they can learn something."

"This..." Zhou Yihu originally thought that Wang Zhong would ask him to help him find a bank loan to buy agricultural machinery, but he didn't expect that Wang Zhong was talking about this.

"I have to think about this matter! I can't agree to you right away." Looking at Wang Zhong with an expectant face and sincere eyes, Zhou Yihu said seriously.

Hearing what Zhou Yihu said, Wang Zhong knew that the matter was half done, and immediately poured Zhou Yihu a glass of medicinal wine with a smile: "It's okay, your words are enough."

"How many junior students in your team are going to study?" Zhou Yihu asked.

"There are currently six suitable young students, and we don't expect to let them all study. We can go to as many as we can!"

"Don't have too high expectations." Zhou Yihu decided to pour cold water on Wang Zhong first to prevent him from having too high expectations.

"Do your best and obey fate!" Wang Zhongdao said: "You can have enough to eat just by working hard, but it is more difficult to improve your living conditions. Moreover, the times are different now, and talents are the most valuable."

"Sometimes I really wonder where you got all these weird ideas in your mind. You don't look like a farmer digging for food in the fields." Zhou Yihu looked at Wang Zhong curiously.

Wang Zhong added another glass of wine to Zhou Yihu: "This person's career can only represent his real life environment, but it cannot represent his spiritual world. No matter where you are, read more, read more newspapers, and broaden your horizons.

When exposed to new news from the outside world, think more and this idea will come out.”

"Yes!" Zhou Yihu said: "Today I finally know it. No wonder I can teach three college students with excellent grades, and one is the provincial champion in our province."

"Secretary Zhou, let's not say these polite words." Wang Zhong said with a smile: "Now, your focus should be on your body. Put it aside at work, if you can.

good."

"I'm in good health, so let's put it away." Zhou Yihu's expression changed. Wang Zhong said: "The injuries you suffered on the battlefield, the shrapnel remaining in your body, especially the hardships you suffered in the past few years, take them out.

They are all serious, not to mention that they are all brought together now, so you cannot ignore it."

"Besides, we can't be greedy for temporary success. The long-term success is the right thing. The villagers are pointing to you to lead them to live a good life. If you fall ill all of a sudden, what will happen to all the work in hand?

What should you do with the fellow villagers who are pointing at you?"

"This..." Zhou Yihu is a person who loves soft things but not hard words. Wang Zhong's words can be regarded as poking at his weakness.

"Have you been taking the medicine I prescribed for you recently?" Wang Zhong asked.

"eating!"

"After dinner, I will take your pulse again to see if there is any need to increase or decrease the prescription." After dinner, he took Zhou Yihu's pulse again. Wang Zhong couldn't help but sigh,

"Secretary Zhou, if you continue like this, your body won't be able to bear it in three years!"

"Three years!" Zhou Yihu's eyes flashed.

"Let's do this. From now on, when I send Ziyu to school every week, I will stop by to help you check up and perform acupuncture. In addition, I will take the medicine I prescribed for you regularly, appropriately reduce the intensity of work, and slowly recover.

It should be effective.”

"No, no, it's too hard for you." Zhou Yihu refused repeatedly. Wang Zhong smiled and said, "It's not hard work. Anyway, I have to send Ziyu to school in the county every week. It's just a side trip."

"Besides, I'm just giving you acupuncture and writing a prescription. You have to pay for the medicine yourself."
