Chapter 80 The Willow of the Heartless (1)

Chapter 80 The Willow of Unintention (I)

After leaving Zeng Xiangang's house, Hou Weidong followed the path and walked up to Qinglinchang Town. Zeng Xiangang's suggestion actually made him feel full of contradictions: he came to Shangqinglin to do his career, rather than giving up life in the city and becoming a private owner in the township.

But when life shows its ruthless side, it often makes jokes to the hard-working people, otherwise, it would be impossible to live this life.

Hou Weidong, that is, he tastes the jokes that life makes for him.

Hou Weidong graduated from the Political and Legal Department and habitually remembered policy and legal issues. The central government has always emphasized that cadres are not allowed to do business. Although he was exiled to Shangqinglin, he was also considered an administrative cadre within the establishment. If he runs this stone factory, it would be a violation of discipline. Hou Weidong thought about it and drafted a partnership agreement based on the content he had negotiated with Zeng Xiangang.

On Saturday afternoon, Hou Weidong said to Township Mayor Gao, and went down the mountain early at 1 noon. It took three hours to go to Yiyang County, and another three hours to go from Yiyang to Wuhai County. Hou Weidong arrived home, and it was already eight o'clock in the evening.

Liu Guangfen sat alone in the living room watching TV. He saw several actors yelling on the TV. When he saw Hou Weidong coming back, he shouted happily: "San'er, why did you come back? Have you had a meal?" As he said that, he handed over the slippers. Hou Weidong walked to the living room and was very relaxed at home, especially in front of Liu Guangfen, he was just a child who was not grown up. He snatched the remote control without hesitation and immediately changed to another station, saying, "Mom, your appreciation level is too low, and you are watching Qiong Yao's TV series again. Where is Dad?"

Liu Guangfen has been competing with Hou Yonggui for the color TV in the living room these two days. Liu Guangfen wants to watch Taiwanese TV series, and Hou Yonggui wants to watch the animal world. Of course, every time Liu Guangfen wins, Hou Yonggui only gets to watch the small TV in the inner room. Hearing his son's voice, Hou Yonggui has already walked out. He wore a cotton jacket, which was posted in the army before, and has been worn for many years. He looks a little bloated, and his usual decisiveness when wearing police uniforms is gone.

Hou Weidong said, "It's too cold in the room. Let's just buy a heating and cooling air conditioner." Liu Guangfen poked his head out of the kitchen and said, "You can buy an air conditioner, and you three siblings will sponsor two thousand."

A mouth-watering fragrance wafted out of the kitchen. This was Hou Weidong's favorite braised pork. Liu Guangfen quickly brought the food and said, "If you don't call me when you come back, otherwise you will get some delicious food. Your sister is back at noon today, and I will cook the meat for her." She sat opposite Hou Weijiang, watching her son eat voraciously, and was very happy, but said, "I paid my salary, but I didn't buy a dollar for your father and me. What's the use of raising a son? Your sister's first month's salary back then bought gifts for everyone in the family."

Speaking of his second sister, Hou Weidong said: "I heard that the Yiyang County Silk Factory has poor performance and has closed two workshops. How is the efficiency of the second sister's factory?"

Liu Guangfen sighed and said, "I am just about to tell you about this. Your second sister has been laid off. Fortunately, your brother-in-law has a high income. Otherwise, it would be a tragic situation. It seems that she is still in the government agency for insurance."

Hou Weidong sighed: "The factory was in prosperity in the first half of the year, why didn't it work all at once?"

Liu Guangfen said angrily: "The whereabouts of international silk prices in the second half of the year, and the problems in the factory exploded, and they broke the market all at once. Those officials only know how to eat and drink, and the factory breaks the market, and see what they eat."

While the mother and son were having fun chatting, Hou Yonggui replaced the TV with an animal world, and then sat on the side and watched with relish. Liu Guangfen was all focused on his son, and he didn't care about him.

"How is your road repaired? How did you solve the problem of drawings and money."

Hearing that it was made in private names, Hou Yonggui began to teach a lesson: "The distinction between public and private affairs is two-layered. The public's money and goods cannot be taken. Private money and goods are only so small, so don't paste them easily. This is a matter of principle unless the unit sends you a written loan note."

Hou Weidong, who studied law, was also clear about the interests of this matter. After he finished a bowl of rice, Liu Guangfen scooped him another bowl, and Hou Weidong poured the soup of braised pork into the bowl. This way of eating it, the essence of braised pork was included in the bowl, which was Hou Weidong's favorite.

Liu Guangfen couldn't help but grab Hou Weidong's cheek and said, "Look at your face, the flesh on your face is bulging. Is it the village cadres eating every day?" Hou Yonggui said, "Village cadres are very fierce to drink. They should drink less in the village. If they can, they can cheat."

After dinner, Liu Guangfen and Hou Yonggui were almost nagging, so Hou Weidong told him the idea of ​​opening a stone factory.

Hou Yonggui frowned and said, "You have just started working and have worked hard in the town. These things are just a lie. It is best not to do so, so as not to have bad influence in the unit in the future."

"The new leader in Shazhou calls on the whole city to handle transportation. The Yiyang County Party Committee and County Government have designated 1994 as the year of transportation construction. I analyzed that 1994 will be the first time for Shazhou City to launch transportation construction. Gravel and stone are essential materials for road construction. The stone on Qinglin Mountain is the best in Yiyang County, so there is definitely no problem in opening a stone factory."

Hou Yonggui has been with the Public Security Bureau in the army for nearly forty years and has been in the organization all his life. Although Hou Weidong was very clear, he always felt something was wrong, "Don't think about these colorful things, do your job well, this is the seriousness."

Hou Weidong felt bitter in his stomach, but he couldn't tell his father clearly, so he said, "Dad, do you have any friends from Yiyang who are from the vital department? Please recommend me."

Hou Yonggui hugged his hands in his chest, thought for a while, and then said, "My friends are all front-line police officers of the Public Security Bureau. The highest level is, but the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau, I'm afraid it won't help you much. Third brother, you have to understand a truth: Birds of a feather flock together, and people are divided into groups. What kind of person are you, and the friends you make are generally the same. This is a theory tested by time, and you still have to rely on yourself."

Liu Guangfen interrupted the old man and said, "Old man, you have been orthodox for life. Now that your daughter is laid off, there is no good idea. I think the third brother's advice is not bad. As long as you open a stone factory, you can make sure to make a profit and not lose money. You can give it a try."

Hou Yonggui still did not express his opinion.

Hou Weidong explained: "If I don't come forward to open a stone factory, I will use my second sister's name and ID card. In this way, I can do it right."

With Liu Guangfen's support and persuasion, Hou Yonggui finally agreed to Hou Weidong's plan. As soon as the old couple finished, they gave Hou Weidong 10,000 yuan in cash as the start-up capital of the stone factory.

After talking about the main business, Liu Guangfen smiled and said, "San, is Xiaojia's family still opposed it?"

"Xiaojia was seconded to the Construction Committee Office, and now she is a celebrity in the Construction Committee."

Liu Guangfen said meaningfully: "I think the matter between you two is a bit mysterious. Xiaojia is in the Shazhou Construction Committee Office. The people and things he has come into contact with are different, so his horizons will naturally be higher. If you don't transfer back to the county as soon as possible, you will definitely not be able to do it."

Hou Weidong was most afraid of hearing this issue. He made an appointment with Xiaojia's mother Chen Qingrong for three years. Now half a year has passed, but the goal of transferring back to Shazhou is so out of reach. He said to his mother Liu Guangfen: "It's going to rain, and my mother wants to get married, who can care? I just need to be worthy of my conscience." Originally, this was passionate, but when I remembered that I followed Qin Feiyue to Wangcheng Villa and had close contact with the lady there, it seemed that my conscience had been wiped a little black, and I was not so righteous.

When she was going to bed at night, Liu Guangfen personally changed the clean sheets of Hou Weidong. She looked at San'er and was happy and sat by the bed and chatted with Hou Weidong without saying a word.

"Your second sister is not interested in stone factories. She and your brother-in-law want to set up a small silk factory. They have worked in the silk factory for so many years and have many business relationships. It is definitely no problem to find some salary."

Hou Weidong said: "The silk factory on Yiyang is probably not good either. It has closed two workshops."

Liu Guangfen sat beside the bed, watching Hou Weidong get into the clean and warm quilt, habitually tucked the corners of the quilt, and instructed: "My second sister wants to open a company, but it's not a shortage of money. I didn't lend it to them. There are risks in starting a company. I have to be careful. Don't tell your second sister about the money you give today, so as not to be unhappy."

The next day, Hou Xiaoying returned home. She wanted to open a silk factory and was not interested in the stone factory. However, she happily signed the agreement and handed over a copy of her ID card to Hou Weidong.

"Missary, I heard that the foundation's procedures are not strict, so you can give me 50,000 yuan in purchases. My company is open now, and the money is short."

Hou Weidong smiled and said, "The payment for the goods needs to be mortgaged. In order to get the drawings, I have already made 10,000 yuan from the foundation."

Hou Xiaoying peeled a Guanggan and said, "I have never seen someone like you. The private payment for the goods is for the public. Really, it's really a big fuss for you to find a way to give your sister some money. I have a house as a mortgage."

"The foundation only supplies to locals, and outsiders do not handle them."

Hou Xiaoying said disdainfully: "Now is the era of operation. As long as you understand the rules, nothing can be done. You introduce me to the people in the foundation, and other things will be handled by your brother-in-law."

Hou Weidong nodded and said, "Okay, I'll give it a try, but I have no position and authority in the town, and the people from the foundation don't have to sell my account."

"How can you know if you don't try it? He Yong recently learned a sentence, saying it in my ears every day, called "The bold riding dragon and tiger", and the timid riding chicken mother, and my dad is too timid."

Hou Weidong ran in the village every day and learned a lot of local dialect. When he heard his second sister's words, he said, "The second sister said it wrong. It is a bold dragon and tiger, and a timid dragon and chicken mother."

Every time I went home, Hou Weidong felt extremely comfortable. The next day, after lunch, he tried to take Hui Yiyang's bus with great warmth.

Liu Guangfen stood outside the car and watched her San'er walk away before returning home.

Back in Shangqinglin, Hou Weidong entered a fixed track again. He and Zeng Xiangang were both impatient. On Monday morning, they went to the forest farm to see the terrain.

Zeng Xiangang's sister and brother-in-law were both honest farmers. They always regarded Zeng Xiangang as their backbone, so they took Hou Weidong and Zeng Xiangang to the back mountain. After a few hoes, they dug hard stones.

Zeng Xiangang knocked on the stone with a hoe and said, "This stone is very thick, at least ten meters long, and is close to the road at the foot of the mountain."
