Chapter 125 Eating Meat Every Day
Cen Youjun freed up a hand on crutches, returned a military salute to Lin Zhenhua, then shook hands with Lin Zhenhua again, and said, "Xiao Lin, why are you here? Come, sit down in the room and talk."

The two came to the main room and sat down separately.Cen Youjun called Mao Zai, handed him a small piece of pork, and said, "Mao Zai, take it to the kitchen."

"Father, I want to eat meat." Mao Zai took the meat and begged in a low voice.

"I'll save some for you, go." Cen Youjun said.

Lin Zhenhua looked at the piece of meat in Mao Zai's hand, and couldn't help feeling sad.That piece of meat was really too small, even fat and thin, weighing less than half a catty.Knowing that he came from Jiangnan Province, Cen Youjun naturally wanted to entertain him as much as possible. Judging from the size of this piece of meat, Cen Youjun's economic conditions were indeed extremely poor.

Seeing the look in Lin Zhenhua's eyes, Cen Youjun smiled awkwardly and said, "Oh, Xiaolin, to be honest, I heard that you came, so hurry up and find someone to borrow money to buy meat at Jishang. In the end, I borrowed the whole factory. I only borrowed fifty cents. You see, you came all the way..."

"Platoon leader, your economic conditions are so bad, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Lin Zhenhua said.

Cen Youjun said: "Everyone is in trouble now. A young man like you wants to get married, and the financial pressure is also great. If it wasn't for your sister-in-law who was sick and needed surgery, I would be ashamed to ask you to borrow money. But... By the way, Xiao Lin, you Why did you come to Yuefeng, did you happen to be on a business trip?"

Lin Zhenhua said: "Platoon leader, I'm here to see you."

"Specially here?" Cen Youjun was a little surprised, and then said with a bit of distress: "It's really unnecessary. You see, the travel fee for this trip will cost more than ten yuan. What are you doing with this money?"

Lin Zhenhua said: "Platoon leader, I'm here to send you money."

Cen Youjun was even more surprised: "What, you came here to send money? Xiao Lin, how much money did you bring?" No wonder he was surprised, he only asked Lin Zhenhua for 20 yuan to borrow money, and Lin Zhenhua ran so specially A trip, obviously not to send 20 yuan, right?
Lin Zhenhua pulled Cen Youjun into the room, took out a thick envelope from his bag, handed it to him, and said, "Platoon leader, I brought you 500 yuan, do you think it's enough? Not enough for me Another point."

Cen Youjun held the money, as if his hands were scalded, and asked with wide eyes, "Xiao Lin, where did you get so much money?"

Lin Zhenhua said: "I'll tell you about this matter later, platoon leader, you should collect the money first. Look at the money, is it enough for my sister-in-law's operation?"

"Enough, enough." Cen Youjun said: "Xiao Lin, I don't need so much. If you have money, you can lend me 200 yuan. Don't worry, I really want to ask you, the money is all legal right?"

Lin Zhenhua replied: "Don't worry, platoon leader, the money is clean."

Cen Youjun counted out 20 pieces from the pile of money, and stuffed the rest back into Lin Zhenhua's hands, saying, "I don't need so much money. Xiao Lin, if you really have money, you'd better help other comrades. Knowing that there are several comrades-in-arms who are now living in a very difficult situation, as well as the family members of the martyrs, it is also very difficult."

Lin Zhenhua took the money, changed hands, put it on the table next to him, and said, "Platoon leader, don't refuse. I can tell you that I am now a ten thousand yuan household. I will return the 500 yuan to you." Yours. On the battlefield, you saved my life with one leg. How can this leg be worth 500 yuan? How can I ignore you because you are living so hard now? Even other comrades-in-arms, don’t worry, After I go back, I will definitely find a way to contact them and provide them with some necessary help."

"Ten thousand yuan household?" Cen Youjun was shocked enough today, "Xiao Lin, you are not joking."

Lin Zhenhua said: "Platoon leader, I can't lie to you if I lie to anyone, right? I contracted the labor service company in the factory, and now the economic benefits are good. This is the contract money I got."

"It turns out to be like this." Cen Youjun believed it a little. In fact, many local enterprises are already secretly engaging in the contracting system, and he has also heard of the situation where the factory manager got rich because of the contracting.He thought for a while and said: "Xiao Lin, if you are really able to afford the money, then I will accept the money, but this can only be regarded as a loan from you. Our factory is currently very tight in liquidity, so you lend the money to me. I, after performing the operation on your sister-in-law, there should be some left over, which I can just use as working capital."

"Uh... do as you please." Lin Zhenhua felt helpless, but the money was given out of his heart, and Cen Youjun was willing to use it to start a business, which was also his interest, so why should Lin Zhenhua interfere.

At this time, Tian Xiaolan, who had gone to pick vegetables in the field, had already returned. Cen Youjun called her into the house, took out a big union and handed it to her, and said, "Xiaolan, Xiaolin lent us money. You can use this money to collect money." Buy some more meat... let's buy two catties."

Before Tian Xiaolan took the money, Lin Zhenhua reached out and blocked the money from Cen Youjun's hand, took out 20 yuan from his pocket, handed it to Tian Xiaolan, and said, "Sister-in-law, I'll treat you to dinner today. You go and help buy some good food. Buy a piece of fish, five catties of meat, some eggs, yes, and wine, buy two bottles of good wine and come back."

Tian Xiaolan looked at her husband hesitantly, Cen Youjun nodded and said: "Okay, let's do as Xiaolin said, please invite Brother Youxin's family to have dinner together at noon, and make more dishes."

Tian Xiaolan just took the money, carefully tucked it away, and went to the market with the vegetable basket.

Lin Zhenhua took out all the things he had brought and handed them to Cen Youjun.It contains food for the elderly and children, cloth for making clothes, and some commonly used medicines for colds and headaches.Back then, the rural areas were engaged in cooperative medical care, and the barefoot doctors in the production team did not have any medicines in their hands. When many urban people went to visit relatives in the countryside, they had to prescribe a bunch of medicines to take with them at work. These medicines can be distributed in rural areas. Great use.

Cen Youjun called Mao Zai and asked him to take a bag of candies to give to the children of Cen Youxin's family, Mao Zai's cousin and sister.After a while, Cen Youxin's wife Wang brought four eggs over with a smile and said some kind words.This is the common courtesy and courtesy in the countryside.

When Tian Xiaolan arrived at the market, she really gritted her teeth and bought five catties of meat, a big fish, several catties of eggs and duck eggs, and two bottles of local sorghum wine.Even so, the 20 yuan given by Lin Zhenhua has not been spent.After returning, Tian Xiaolan insisted on returning the rest of the money to Lin Zhenhua, but Lin Zhenhua didn't accept it, but said: "Sister-in-law, you can keep the rest of the money first, I will stay here for two more days, even if I pay it Caijin is ready."

At noon that day, the long-lost smell of meat and wine wafted from the main room of Cen's house.Tian Xiaolan and Wang put together the Eight Immortals tables of the two families to form a big table, which was filled with all kinds of delicious dishes.There are four members of Cen Youxin's family, big and small, and Cen Youjun's parents, Cen Youjun and his wife, Mao Zai, and Lin Zhenhua, a total of 10 people sat at the table.The poor little baby is not qualified to serve, so he can only lie in the shaker and sleep soundly.

At the dinner table, the happiest people were Mao Zai and the two and a half older children of Cen Youxin's family.Cen Youxin's family's economic conditions are better than Cen Youjun's, but eating meat is still a luxury.This time, Tian Xiaolan cooked more than half of the meat she bought, and cooked a large pot of fatty braised pork, and the children ate it happily.

"Sister-in-law, Mao Zai eats so much meat in one meal, won't he be indigestible?" Lin Zhenhua asked worriedly.

Tian Xiaolan said nonchalantly: "He still can't digest? He went out and ran wild after a while, and he must be hungry again before night."

Lin Zhenhua had no choice but to turn his head to persuade Mao Zai again: "Mao Zai, don't eat so much meat for a meal, and keep it flowing. Just let mother buy meat for you every day from now on."

Mao Zai looked at his mother and asked, "Mom, will our family eat meat every day?"

Tian Xiaolan said with a smile: "If you eat meat every day, don't be poor."

Cen Youjun also said: "Xiao Lin, you are from the city, and you don't know the hardships in our countryside. Usually, who can buy so much meat at once? Today we are all thanks to you, so we eat and drink like this. Sigh , Speaking of which, the last time I drank heavily and ate meat like this was when I was discharged from the army.”

Lin Zhenhua said: "Platoon leader, I think that now that the country's policies have been relaxed, you should find a way to earn some money. Otherwise, it's really too much to rely on uncles, aunts, and sisters-in-law to make money. It's tough."

Cen Youjun sighed and said, "It's not so easy. Our agricultural machinery factory doesn't produce the right products, and we usually do some agricultural machinery maintenance. Now that the fields have been divided, the collective agricultural machinery is not used at ordinary times. This kind of money is not good. Earned. If it drags on for a few more months, I’m afraid it will be closed.”

Lin Zhenhua asked: "Platoon leader, whose company is your agricultural machinery factory?"

"It belongs to the commune."

"Can private contractors be contracted?"

Cen Youjun said: "There are private contracting things, and other communes have such things. Why, Xiao Lin, you don't want to come to me to contract factories, do you?"

Lin Zhenhua smiled and said, "I don't have time to run back and forth like this. What I mean is, platoon leader, you can contract this factory."

Cen Youjun said: "Are you kidding me? This factory is losing so much money now. If I contract it out, why don't I lose my ancestral house?"

Lin Zhenhua said: "It's not that scary, platoon leader. If you can contract out the agricultural machinery factory, I'll find a way to find you some products. It's hard to say whether you can make a lot of money. At least let the cubs eat meat every day. It should be no problem." of."

As soon as these words came out, everyone at the table became interested.Cen Youxin interjected, "Xiaolin, do you really have such abilities? Then help the Youjun."

Lin Zhenhua said: "Of course it's okay to help the platoon leader. However, it's best if the platoon leader contracts the factory, so that I'll be willing to help. Otherwise, the money earned belongs to the commune and won't go into the platoon leader's pocket." , why should I suffer from this.”

Cen Youjun said: "Xiao Lin, whether or not to contract the factory can be discussed later. You said you can make our factory earn money, what can you do? Let's hear it."

Lin Zhenhua nodded: "No problem, I'm planning to report to the platoon leader."

Next, he briefly told Cen Youjun what he had done in Hanhua Factory.Although he deliberately concealed many things, it was enough to make Cen Youjun and his cousin Cen Youxin mesmerized.

"So, you defeated the little devil in the end?" Cen Youjun couldn't help interjecting and asked.

"That's right, in the end the little devil gave up and admitted that the quality of the shafts we produced was excellent." Lin Zhenhua said, "After this incident, our Provincial Department of Light Industry decided not to buy the equipment from the little devil, and handed it over to our factory for production. This business is worth 300 million.”

Cen Youjun asked curiously: "Xiao Lin, from what you said, you also played a big role in this matter. Where did your technology come from?"

Lin Zhenhua asked: "Platoon leader, do you remember that there lived a devolved old rightist next to our army garrison? The one who lived next to the supply and marketing cooperative in the town was tall and thin."

Cen Youjun frowned and thought for a while, then said: "I don't have a deep impression, maybe there is such a person?"

Lin Zhenhua secretly laughed in his heart, his move was a kind of psychological suggestion.That is to repeatedly describe a scene to a person, and finally make the person feel that the scene really existed.He went on to say: "The old rightist is actually a very capable person. I had a chance to deal with him once, and then I often went to help him with some things, and he taught me some knowledge."

Cen Youjun nodded: "Well, I seem to be a little impressed by what you said. You seem to often do some things for the people in the station. But, Xiao Lin, you never mentioned these things in the army?"

"That's it, that's it." Lin Zhenhua said repeatedly.

"So, you learned some techniques at that time, and after you came to the factory, you learned some things from the chief engineer of the navy you mentioned, isn't that right?" Cen Youjun continued to ask.

"That's right, that's it."

"But you still haven't told me how you plan to help my factory." Cen Youjun brought the conversation back.

Lin Zhenhua said: "Platoon leader, don't be in a hurry. Take me to your factory tomorrow to have a look. I will evaluate your factory's capabilities, and then I will see what products I can make for you. Your factory is not big, so you can have any product It’s enough to feed everyone.”

Cen Youjun was overjoyed, raised his glass and said, "That's great, Xiao Lin, if you can do this, then you can save more than 20 workers in our factory. Come, let's have a drink."

Lin Zhenhua picked up the wine glass and said to Cen Youjun's parents and Cen Youxin, "Come on, uncle and aunt, Brother Youxin, let's have a drink together."

After everyone drank and chatted a few more gossips, Cen Youxin asked suddenly: "Xiao Lin, what kind of shaft did you say you were making for the fertilizer factory?"

Lin Zhenhua replied casually, "That's right, it's the No. [-] Fertilizer Factory in Jiangnan Province."

"Then do you know any of their people?"

Lin Zhenhua was taken aback for a moment, and asked back, "What, brother Youxin wants to buy fertilizer?"

　I started asking for recommendation tickets today, and found that the recommendation tickets for this book have started to go downhill, which is really not a good thing.

　　Of course, a monthly pass is still required, and the current goal is to sit on the top of the new book list.
