Start as a farmer from an ordinary world

Chapter 188 Hu Yongzhou Rent a Car

Soon, Wang Yanqiang, Wang Fugui and others arrived.

After listening to Wang Lianshun's news, everyone was also very excited and began to think about candidates.

"Otherwise, they are quite anxious. You two captains might as well have a private meeting with the laborers tonight... If anyone is willing to go, gather early tomorrow morning and take them to the county seat with a walking tractor." No outsiders , Wang Mandun didn't need to shout slogans or anything, he made a decision directly.

Two days ago, Director Zhao had already led a group of educated youths to connect with many members of the commune to work in the river, and he probably wouldn't be able to return before the end of the year.Without the other party's blindness, it is much more convenient for everyone to do things in the village.

"I'm afraid that everyone will fight to go, and there will be a lot of chaos in the end." Wang Fugui said worriedly.

Seventy-five cents a day for small workers, one yuan for big workers... Excluding the management fees in the team, it seems that there is not much left for individuals.But one thing cannot be ignored, the team will still give full credits.

In addition, the construction site manages three meals a day.If they worked till the end of the year, one laborer could save at least thirty to fifty catties of grain and twenty or thirty yuan for the family.

If you know carpentry, you will get more.

This is much better than the team's year-end final accounts and dividends... A lot of labor has been working for a year, and they still owe their bills.

So Wang Fugui's words are not unreasonable. Hearing the news, everyone probably wants to go.

People who suffer are not afraid of exerting themselves, but they are afraid of not being full.

However, the potatoes and sweet potatoes in the field have not been dug up yet, and there will be threshing and digging of corn in the future, and all the labor cannot be dispatched.

"Go back and ask first. If there are too many people, you can only draw lots. If you can't catch it, you can only blame yourself for being unlucky." Wang Lianshun thought for a while and said.

The others kept nodding their heads, it was the fairest thing to do.

"Uncle Lian Shun, you can just decide directly, I will not participate. Also tell everyone to bring quilts and thick clothes when we gather tomorrow."

This night, it was cold outside, Wang Manyin didn't want to continue to accompany the meeting.

Walking out of the branch secretary's house, he tightened his cotton-padded jacket, shrunk his neck and trotted towards the house.

Just after walking not far, I suddenly saw a black figure rushing into the nearby firewood stack.

Wang Manyin's heart was tense, and he immediately let out a low growl: "Who, what are you doing?"

"Uncle Man Yin, keep your voice down, we are hiding cats and monkeys."

In the darkness, the voice of Shanwa from Wang Shuhai's family came.

"Oh, then you keep hiding." Wang Manyin was relieved.

Hide-and-seek is hide-and-seek, and it is also one of the classic games that children like to play.

Today is no better than later generations, there are no TVs, computers and various toys.

Broken babies can only adapt to local conditions and find things around them to entertain themselves.Tibetan hairy monkeys, catching stones, kicking sandbags, spinning tops...these are what they often play.

I really can't find anything to play with, so I urinate on the yellow earth, make some mud and throw mud bowls, and I can play for half a day even if I survive.

Speaking of throwing clay bowls, Wang Manyin also played it when he was a child, but they called it a tile-throwing house.

The method of playing is very simple, that is, make the mud into a bowl shape with a flat bottom, and then drop it with the mouth facing down, and the expansion of the gas covered inside will explode the bottom of the basin.

According to the size of the blasted hole, the opponent has to lose the corresponding mud block.

Sometimes I won a big ball of mud, and I can be proud for a long time.

Thinking about it now, I feel special.

After breakfast, laborers in their 20s quietly appeared beside the dirt road at the head of the village with their quilts on their backs.

Then, Liu Xiangyang came driving a walking tractor.

Because he had to take care of the fish pond, he did not follow the other educated youths to work on the river, but stayed in the village all the time.

The space in the carriage is too small to accommodate more than 20 people to salute together. Only some people can sit on the side rails, while the rest stand inside.

For the sake of safety, Wang Manyin specially found a few wooden sticks from the village and tied them into guardrails, so that everyone could have a place to lean on while driving.

As for himself, he sat in the driving seat with Liu Xiangyang.

It was too cold, and the walk-behind tractor had no windshield, so it was too much work for the driver, and two people needed to take turns driving halfway.

With so many people weighing about three or four thousand catties, Wang Manyin was a little afraid that the walking tractor would not have enough horsepower.Unexpectedly, although there was a little black smoke after starting, it ran completely fine.

Of course, the speed is slower, and some people need to come down to push the cart when going uphill.

It was about noon when they finally reached the city.

Seeing so many laborers coming, Hu Yongzhou was naturally very happy, and hurriedly ordered the chef to fry two more dishes at noon.

Speaking of stir-frying, in fact, it means cooking in a big pot.

At noon, I eat stewed radish with mutton. There can be no more than two pieces of meat in a bowl for one person, and there are more mutton fat floating on the vegetable soup.

Even so, the workers in Jars Village were very excited.

Wang Manyin was not surprised that Hu Yongzhou was able to get mutton.

Now the purchase and sale of pork is unified, and the management is relatively strict.Mutton is different. Some villages will secretly sell it out before the year.

Wang Manyin originally planned to deal with it on the construction site and rush home early in the afternoon.Unexpectedly, Hu Yongzhou pulled him and Liu Xiangyang into a small room next to him.

Braised lamb, stewed pork vermicelli, scrambled eggs with green onions, and a plate of shredded potatoes.

Looking at the several dishes on the table, Liu Xiangyang couldn't help but salivate.I haven't eaten like this for a few days.

Although the educated youths can get one catty of meat tickets per month, on average, they spend almost three qian per day, which is barely enough for the tooth festival.

And they usually like to eat dumplings, ten people need at least five catties of meat for a meal.

After two meals of dumplings, the meat tickets were completely gone.

Liu Xiangyang didn't know how the villagers of Guanzi Village endured it. Ever since he jumped in line, he had always felt a lack of meat in his stomach.

To put it bluntly, he could eat all these four dishes by himself.

After the two sat down, Hu Yongzhou was not polite, he picked up the chopsticks directly and said, "Man Yin, Xiang Yang, I have been hungry for so long. Let's put two mouthfuls on the bar first, and then drink."

To this, Wang Manyin naturally agreed.He doesn't have any special interest in alcohol, but as a man, it is inevitable to drink some when going out, as long as it is not too much.

Three rounds of wine.

After Hu Yongzhou filled the two again, he said: "Manyin, you have also seen the situation on my side, and the construction site is very rushed now. Especially the Lasha Bricks, the shelf cart is too small at a time, and it is impossible to catch up .I think your walking tractor is very good. Can you keep it on the construction site to transport materials? Even if I rent it. I will rent it for 15 yuan a day, and I will pay for the diesel, how about it?"

Ever since seeing this walking tractor in the morning, Hu Yongzhou has been moved.

If you contract construction by yourself, you really need a walking tractor.He has something to do with it, but agricultural machinery is different from ordinary things, and it is impossible to sell it to private individuals.

Hearing this, Liu Xiangyang was immediately tempted.

But he didn't say a word, but left everything to Wang Manyin.

According to Wang Manyin's original plan, he could use a walk-behind tractor to pull coal from the Shikoma Coal Mine and sell it, with a profit of almost 20 yuan per truck.

Later, I found that I took it for granted, and there were too many variables in the middle.It's okay to pull coal once or twice, but it will definitely cause problems after a long time.

It was because of his scruples that he never mentioned it to the village.

It was Hu Yongzhou's rent law that made Wang Manyin a little tempted.

However, he didn't nod at the first moment, but asked the most critical question: "Brother Hu, using a walk-behind tractor for construction belongs to 'agricultural machinery not farming'. If you are detained by the road staff, can you handle it? "

"It's okay, Man Yin, don't worry about it, I still know some people in the county. As long as there are no major troubles, there should be no problem." Hu Yongzhou patted his chest and assured.

Wang Manyin believed that the other party was able to contract so many jobs in Yuanxi County, and there was no accident, so he definitely did not rely solely on his cousin Gao Fengge.

After all, two years ago, Hu Yongzhou was a man of the hour in the county.

After thinking for a while, Wang Manyin said: "Brother Hu, to be honest, I can't make the decision. The car is collectively owned by the production team. Although it is in the slack season now, I occasionally have to deliver goods to the supply and marketing cooperative. Do you think this is good? Come back to me Tell the village, I will give you an answer in three or two days at the latest, how about it?"

"Okay then," although Hu Yongzhou was a little disappointed, he could only nod and continued to persuade him to drink.

After finishing a bottle of wine, Wang Manyin hurriedly stopped him when he saw that the other party wanted to continue to drink.

I have to drive home in the afternoon, and it is very uncomfortable to be blown by the cold wind after drinking too much, and maybe I will drink.

It's a pity to spit up such a good meal.

After eating and drinking, Wang Manyin started the walking tractor and left.

It gets dark earlier in winter, and there are still seventy miles to go back.That's it, it is estimated that it will be discredited.

"Brother Wang...that Hu Yongzhou is not simple, is it?" Liu Xiangyang asked after driving a certain distance.Although he was in contact with the other party for the first time, he had some eyebrows in his heart.Those who can contract projects in the county today are definitely capable.

At the same time, Liu Xiangyang admired Wang Manyin even more.

Don't look at Brother Wang who usually doesn't show his face in the village, the relationship behind it is really not to be underestimated.

"Well," Wang Manyin didn't know what Liu Xiangyang was thinking, so he just nodded and answered, "That's for sure, some things have thresholds, and not everyone can do it. Let's put it this way, Hu Yongzhou was also a man of the day..."

"No wonder," Liu Xiangyang hesitated, and then asked, "Brother Wang, what do you think of the rental of walking tractors in the village?"

"What, are you tempted?"

"A little bit," Liu Xiangyang regarded Wang Manyin as his eldest brother, and did not deny it.If the village agrees, he must be the No.1 choice.

"Xiangyang, I think you know in your heart that Hu Yongzhou's contracting team is not regular, and there is no guarantee that it will be safe. If only members of the commune come to do a side job, it should not be a big problem. But with a walking tractor, the situation is different. It belongs to 'agricultural machinery is not farming'. If nothing happens, everything will be fine, if you really get serious, you can directly seize the walking tractor."

"In addition, you are an advanced educated youth representative of the Shigejie Commune. Because of this, I don't know how many people are jealous behind the scenes. In case there is another Xu Kongxian...you have to weigh the pros and cons of it..."

After listening, Liu Xiangyang began to worry about gains and losses.

Of course, the name of the representative of the educated youth is of great benefit, at least in the future when the commune recruits workers or other matters, he must be the first thing that comes to mind.

But far away can't quench near thirst... Now the educated youth subsidy is only a few dollars a month, which is not enough to spend.If I can drive a walk-behind tractor as a side job, I can earn at least dozens of yuan a month even if I deduct the money paid to the team.

Moreover, this work is not tiring.

But as Brother Wang said, it doesn't matter if ordinary members are caught, if it is him, it will affect their progress.

Sugar cane is not as sweet as the two ends.

Until returning to the village, Liu Xiangyang was in hesitation.

***
When Wang Manyin returned to the village to report, Wang Lianshun invited Wang Fugui and Wang Yanqiang to discuss without stopping.

Needless to say, several people were tempted.

"Man Yin, we haven't seen that Hu Yongzhou before, is it reliable?" However, Wang Lianshun was cautious after all.

"There must be something to do with people, but this kind of thing is not afraid of tens of thousands, just in case. It's okay to detain people, but it may not be easy to solve the seizure of cars. This is an agricultural machinery. I guess it will be obtained from the agricultural machinery company by then. I don't know Yanqiang. How is uncle..."

This is what Wang Manyin thought all the way.

The walking tractors of the No. [-] Team of Guanzi Village were hard-won, so it was natural to consider all aspects carefully.

Hearing this, several people turned their heads to look at Wang Yanqiang.

Wang Yanqiang hesitated for a moment, and said, "If I'm really detained at the Agricultural Machinery Company, I'll find Old Wu and I should be able to get him back."

Old Wu is Wu Zhiyun, who is now the director of the agricultural machinery company and is his comrade-in-arms.

"Then it's settled. Xiangyang has to think carefully. If he doesn't want to go, I'll find someone else to be the tractor driver."

It has been more than half a year since I bought the walking tractor, and there are not many members who can drive it now.However, Liu Xiangyang took the lead and continued to serve as the driver.

"Well, I'll give an accurate answer tomorrow," Liu Xiangyang nodded.

After talking about the walking tractor, Wang Fugui said again: "By the way, Xiangyang, we went to the commune to hold a meeting this morning, and the resettlement allowances of the educated youths in each village were allotted, [-] per person."

"Really, that's great, when will you give us the money?" Liu Xiangyang was quite depressed at first, but now he stood up excitedly.

Just now I was thinking about making money, but now I have two or three hundred yuan, which is enough to live a good year.

The county seat, it doesn't matter if you don't go.

"What are you panicking about? Let me finish the calculation. There are a lot of deductions here. First, there are two welcome parties, and when the educated youths are accounted for, it will cost 30 yuan per person, and [-] yuan for ten people..." Wang Fugui faced I read the ledger.

"Wait, Accountant Wang, why don't I know when our production team will have a welcome fee?" Liu Xiangyang interrupted hastily.

He remembered clearly that it was dark when he came to Guanzi Village last year.

Just a group of commune members standing at the entrance of the village to watch the excitement. Is this a welcome party?Still spent three hundred?

"This money is not deducted by the village. You have to spend money when you eat in Huangyuan City and Yuanxi County, and the masses welcome you with colorful flags."

"What? Emotional fleece came out of the sheep, so it turned out that we spent our own money to organize the welcome party."

Liu Xiangyang didn't know what to say.

When he first came, he was quite excited when he saw the people lining the road to welcome him.It feels like a big scene and people are very enthusiastic.

Looking at the ledger in Wang Fugui's hands again, Liu Xiangyang's heart became more and more uneasy.

"Then you won't have to deduct the rest of the money?"

"Of course, you have seven yuan a month for living expenses, as well as soybean oil and meat coupons. If you calculate these, it's one hundred and twelve a year. The money commune has deducted it."

"Good guy, there is only 90 yuan left in the end. Accountant Wang, don't tell me, the 90 yuan will not fall into our hands, right?"

"Well, according to regulations, the remaining money is for you to solve the housing problem. It is managed by the production team and cannot be distributed to individuals." Wang Fugui nodded again.
