Countercurrent 1982

Chapter 126

In the afternoon of the second day, Duan Yun rode his bicycle to the supply and marketing cooperative in the factory area.

After spending more than ten yuan to buy two Phoenix cigarettes, Duan Yun threw one back to the studio, and then took the remaining one to Majunying Village near the factory.

Duan Yun was very familiar with this village in his previous life. At that time, children in the factory area often went to the village to steal water, radishes, potatoes and corn stalks.

Especially the corn stalks left in the world after the autumn harvest to prepare for burning. The taste is similar to sugarcane. For children in that era who could not eat much candy, it was simply the best snack. In addition, the grasshoppers caught in the farmland were strung up with wire Eating it with salt is also a childhood memory of many people who have experienced that era.

Compared with Hongxing Gear Factory, which has good wages, the two neighboring villages are quite poor.

The land in Shanxi is generally barren and the climate is dry and cold, so it is only suitable for growing crops such as potatoes, corn and cabbage with strong adaptability. Due to the lack of vegetation and underdeveloped animal husbandry, most farmers here can barely It is not easy to maintain food and clothing.

Going to the countryside for six years, although he has suffered a lot, Duan Yun has a special feeling for the countryside.

Passing through a dirt road planted with poplar trees on both sides, there is a fork in front of the road, with Ma Junying on the left and Xintianbao on the right.

Duan Yun chose to go to Majunying for the first stop, because in the memory of his predecessor, the construction of Majunying village was better than that of Xintianbao, so Duan Yun was more interested in renting a house in Majunying to build a workshop.

The weather in August is occasionally windy and sandy, and Duan Yunding is somewhat strenuous riding his bike.

The dirt road at the entrance of the village is a bit narrow, and it seems that it has been rolled over by donkey carts all year round, and the ground looks bumpy. In desperation, Duan Yun had to ride from a relatively gentle place beside him.

"Crack!"

Duan Yun's front wheel was suddenly hit by a stone, subconsciously deflected the handle, and rushed directly into the vegetable field next to him.

A cabbage was instantly run over by Duan Yun's wheels, crushing a few leaves.

"Two tigers! Hurry up, someone is messing with our vegetable field!" The peasant woman who was working in the field immediately shouted to the men in the field next to her when she saw Duan Yun's cart driving into the vegetable field.

"Auntie, I'm really sorry, I was careless..."

Duan Yun was about to explain a few words, but three or four dark-skinned and strong men ran over from the other side of the vegetable field.

"Suppress our food and lose money!"

"You don't have eyes when your gun collapses?"

"This little beggar, I want to be forced to pocket it..."

Several villagers quickly blocked Duan Yun's back and forth, carrying farm tools, and swearing at Duan Yun in the local dialect of Daxing.

"I pay, I pay!"

The folk customs of the local farmers in Daxing are still a bit tough, as the saying goes, a good man does not suffer immediate losses, not to mention that Duan Yun did crush his vegetable field, so he simply admitted the compensation directly.

"thirty!"

Seeing the brand new Erba Duan Yun riding and the Shanghai watch on his wrist, the leading man opened his mouth wide open.

"What!?" Duan Yun suddenly became angry for no reason when he heard the words.

Although he could afford 30 yuan, he was not blackmailed like this.

"Don't give up, don't let go!"

A few more villagers ran over quickly and surrounded Duan Yun.

At this moment, Duan Yun has seen what it means to be a troublemaker in a remote area.

But it’s no wonder that the countryside is relatively closed these days. The poorer the place, the tougher the people’s customs, the more ignorant their thinking, the more short-sighted they are, and the more righteous and terrifying people become when they are bad.

But after all, Duan Yun has been in the countryside for six years. In his opinion, these villagers are probably just relying on the number of people to bluff. Few dare to take action. Not vegetarian.

But right now Duan Yun doesn't suffer from this short-term loss.

"Where's your village chief secretary? I'm from Hongxing Gear Factory! I want to see them!" Duan Yun straightened his back and roared in full spirit.

Seeing that Duan Yun wanted to see the village chief's secretary with such confidence, the surrounding villagers were stunned for a moment. ,

"What are you looking for with our village chief?" After a while, a leading middle-aged man asked.

"Our leader asked me to talk to your village chief secretary about the recruitment of workers in the factory this year!" Duan Yun paused, and then said: "If they don't come, then I will leave."

Duan Yun knew about the gear factory’s recruitment of temporary workers in neighboring villages. In the material preparation workshop where his predecessor worked, there were several temporary farmers recruited from the village. In addition, Duan Yun had also heard that there were many families in the nearby village. In order to be able to enter the factory as a worker, they all rely on connections to find someone, so that every time the person in charge of the personnel department of the factory comes to the village to recruit people, he is treated like a VIP, served with seven big dishes and eight big bowls. Drinking two or three bottles of wine can't leave at all!

Sure enough, when they heard that Duan Yun was recruited by the gear factory, the surrounding villagers were stunned, as if they were at a loss.

"Where's your work permit? Take it out and let's have a look." Although he still didn't intend to let Duan Yun go, the guy in the lead spoke to Duan Yun in a much more polite tone.

"I didn't bring my ID with me. I came here to help the leader with a message. If you don't let me see the secretary of the village chief, then I have no choice but to leave." Duan Yun said with a raised brow.

"This one……"

"This kid is so young, is he an official in the factory?"

"It's not a liar, is it?"

"It looks quite rich..."

The people around talked a lot, they obviously felt that Duan Yun was too young to be the leader of the factory, but after seeing the brand-new [-] he was riding and the Shanghai watch on his wrist, they hesitated.

"Erbantou, what are you doing?" At this moment, a tall young man suddenly came to the village entrance and shouted to the crowd.

"Dajun, a man from another village has come and said he is recruiting from the gear factory. He is looking for your father." The leading man said to the tall young man.

"A job recruiter?" The tall young man was taken aback when he heard the words, and then said, "Where's the person?"

"Here." The leading man pointed at Duan Yun.

"Ah, hello comrade, I'm from the gear factory. Is your village secretary there?" Seeing this, Duan Yun asked the tall man with a smile.

"Are you looking for my father? Are you recruiting?" The tall young man looked Duan Yun up and down, and asked with some doubts.

"Smoking." Duan Yun took out a phoenix from his pocket, handed it to the tall young man, and said, "I'll talk to your father about something, is your father at home?"

The tall young man took the cigarette from Duan Yun's hand and glanced at the trademark on it, a smile appeared on his face, and he said politely to Duan Yun at any time: "Come with me, my father is at home!"

Seeing this, the surrounding villagers made way for Duan Yun one after another.

"That's great." Duan Yun smiled slightly when he heard the words, and then followed the tall young man into the village.
