Life 1984

Li Yunhai was sitting in the car, looking at the surging crowd of people outside, and was a little shocked.

"Brother, what's going on? Why are they blocking our car?" Li Yunfang was a little panicked.

Li Yanxi was in her mother's arms, looking out of the car window with her little eyes widened.

Lin Zhi patted her daughter's back gently and said, "Yunfang, don't be afraid, the police are here! They don't dare to cause trouble."

Peng Dianzi and Zhang Guifen were sitting on the stone-driven Santana. They also got out of the car at this moment and came forward to protect Li Yunhai's car.

"What do you want to do?" Peng Dianzi shouted, "Can you block the road and rob me in broad daylight?"

Shao Yuqing and others who were following behind got out of the car and ran up to ask what happened.

After a while, Shao Yuqing knocked on Li Yunhai's car door.

Li Yunhai rolled down the window and asked in a deep voice, "Shao County, what's going on?"

Shao Yuqing leaned against the car window and smiled: "Mr. Li, the folks recognized your car and knew you were coming back to your hometown, so they all said they wanted to see you."

Li Yunhai drove a Rolls-Royce with a special license plate, which was the only one in the province. Anyone who knew him would know that Mr. Li was here as soon as they saw this car.

The news has spread in my hometown for a long time, and everyone knows which car Li Yunhai drives.

As soon as Li Yunhai's car entered the street, many people going to the market to buy new year's goods saw it and rushed up.

Shao Yuqing smiled and said: "Mr. Li, I don't think the villagers mean any harm. How about you get out of the car and say a few words to everyone?"

Li Yunhai nodded calmly.

As soon as he got out of the car, shouts like a roaring mountain and a tsunami were heard all around: "Hello, Mr. Li!"

Li Yunhai looked at the simple and friendly faces and immediately felt a sense of irritation all over his body.

The winter in the countryside is extremely cold. It has just rained in Meishan. The weather is gloomy and the north wind is howling.

But Li Yunhai felt a huge heat wave.

"Mr. Li!" A young man squeezed forward and handed over the two chickens he was holding. "These are the pheasants my dad shot in the mountains. They taste better than domestic chickens. I give them to you to eat during the Chinese New Year." .”

Li Yunhai waved his hand and said with a smile: "Thank you, but I don't need it. I have already purchased all the New Year supplies at home. You can keep them for yourself!"

However, more people handed over the things in their hands: "Mr. Li, this is my own grapefruit. I give it to you to try."

"Mr. Li, this is the wild boar meat we shot."

"Mr. Li, try our homemade water tofu!"

Some of these people came to sell mountain products on the street, and some came to buy new year's goods. When they saw Li Yunhai, they all gave him what they thought was the best thing.

Li Yunhai refused one by one and said: "I am not worthy of it! I, Li Yunhai, accept the wishes of all the fellow villagers. I will never dare to accept anything."

Someone shouted: "Mr. Li, you have led us all to become rich. You are our great benefactor! If someone taught us to start a typing and photocopying business, we had to pay 300 yuan in tuition and two loads of millet! But you taught us for free. You learned how to type and copy, and you even rented us machines for opening the store. You are a good person! We can’t let you suffer."

Li Yunhai also heard that there were a few people in the village who got rich first and taught people how to type and copy for free.

People in the mountains don't have much information, and they don't know about the free teaching provided by the Sihai Group, so some people come to learn from these people and charge 300 yuan, plus two loads of millet.

There is no harm without comparison.

When Sihai Group offered free training in the past, only more than 2,000 people signed up.

These people became the first batch of people to eat crabs, and also became the first batch of people to become rich.

More and more villagers began to take this road. When they learned that others charged so high prices, they realized that what Li Yunhai was doing was a good deed.

In the past few years, although Li Yunhai returned home during the Chinese New Year, he always came and went in a hurry.

Many people want to come to Li Yunhai to pay New Year greetings, but they never see him every time they come.

We finally met him on the street today, and of course everyone wanted to say thank you to Li Yunhai in person.

Li Yunhai was moved by the enthusiasm of the villagers and chatted with them for more than half an hour before convincing everyone to get out of the way.

As the motorcade slowly left the street, there were countless people following behind, waving to the motorcade.

Li Yunfang smiled and said: "Brother, it's really good to be like you as a person. You have become the most respected person in the township."

Li Yunhai said nothing.

After returning home, Li Yunhai found that his home was full of people.

People in the village knew that Li Yunhai was going home today, so they all came to visit.

Over the years, Li Yun traveled all over the world and didn't even spend much time in Xizhou.

If anyone wants to see him, they may not be able to make an appointment.

In addition, many young and middle-aged laborers in the countryside have begun to make a living outside, and they don’t have much time at home. Only during the New Year can everyone see each other.

So many people came to see Li Yunhai.

"Mr. Li is back!"

Seeing Li Yunhai's motorcade approaching, the villagers rushed to tell each other.

As soon as Li Yunhai got out of the car, he was surrounded by a crowd.

This is Shiban Village, and every face is familiar to him.

Li Yunhai greeted everyone, put his arm around his wife's waist and walked into the house.

Everyone in the family is here, and the third child and his wife have also returned from other places. The third daughter-in-law, Zhang Yuxiang, is pregnant and has a big belly.

The third child put on a suit and a windbreaker, but he was still as thin as a monkey and looked a bit wretched.

Seeing Li Yunhai, the third child called out "Hello, big brother."

Li Yunhai nodded and asked, "Is business okay?"

"Okay, great!" Zhang Yuxiang said with a smile, "We have enough capital and a big store. Now we hired two people to do the work. Last year we earned 50,000 yuan. I discussed with Yunshan that we will go home and build a house next year. stand up."

Li Yunhai said: "You only earned 50,000 yuan? You don't work hard enough!"

The third child said: "Brother, we have made enough! Fifty thousand a year is not much, right? Many people in the village opened shops before us, and their business is not as good as ours. You have never looked down on me!"

Lin Zhi smiled and said: "Yunshan, your brother is not looking down on you, but he hopes you can do better."

The third child muttered: "Of course I can't compete with him!"

Li Yunhai said no more and went to chat with his parents.

Shao Yuqing said he came down to visit households with five guarantees, but he stayed at Li Yunhai's house. The villagers gathered around Li's house and chatted. Many of them couldn't talk to Li Yunhai, so they could only watch from a distance and listen to Li Yunhai chatting with others.

Shao Yuqing said: "Mr. Li, look at your prestige in our county. It is much higher than our parents and officials! It shows how much the villagers rely on you! There is such a thing, I want to ask your opinion Opinion. That’s it, we want to build a Wenyin Industrial Zone in the county, do you think it can be done?”

On the way back, Li Yunhai thought about it seriously and said, "Of course it can be done, and we must do it to the best of our ability. We must make it the largest cultural and printing industrial zone in the country."

After receiving Li Yunhai's approval, Shao Yuqing was overjoyed and said, "Mr. Li, you are the founder of this industry and our God of Wealth. Please provide us with some valuable advice."

Li Yunhai said: "The printing industry is an emerging industry and a high-tech industry. I would like to hear what the county plans to do?"

Shao Yuqing said: "It is to open an industrial zone, whether it is to attract investment, or to start your own business, to set up a typewriter factory or a copy material factory. Our county's industrial foundation is weak, so we can only build these small factories first."

Li Yunhai said: "Your idea is right. I would like to make three suggestions. First, form an industrial chain that integrates industry, academia, and research. Make full use of the county's advantageous resources to create an integrated system of training, education, research, and production. The second is to focus on consumables. The printing industry is very large, and the county has no financial advantage. It is unrealistic to compete with others in machinery and equipment. Relatively speaking, consumables have small investment and large output, which is very important for The educational requirements for workers are also low. The third is to attract investment. If we can attract several office equipment manufacturers, that would be the best."

Shao Yuqing took out his diary, recorded Li Yunhai's words, high-fived and praised: "As expected of Mr. Li, his speech is very good! These three opinions you mentioned are the guiding opinions of our park! We must strictly follow them and implement them." .Mr. Li, you are from Meishan, and Sihai Group can also be regarded as an enterprise owned by us Meishan people. Do you think you can come to our county to open a few factories? Firstly, it can stimulate the employment of the labor force in our county, and secondly, it can develop our county. The economy, as a matter of fact, can certainly drive the development of our park."

Li Yunhai knew that if his hometown wanted to build a printing and printing industrial park, he would have to provide certain support, otherwise it would not be justified, so he said: "I also intend to invest in my hometown. Let's see, I will invest in three factories and a printing consumables factory in the county, mainly Producing ink and ribbons for printers. A spare parts factory. A raw material factory. The total investment is more than 3000 million yuan."

Shao Yuqing said excitedly: "That's great, Mr. Li, thank you for your strong support for our county's work!"

Li Yunhai asked: "Is the park open?"

Shao Yuqing said: "The approval has been passed, the park has been demarcated, and the work of three connections and one leveling is in progress. The factory will be built after the new year."

Li Yunhai said: "Okay, I will arrange for someone to connect with you. If anything happens in the future, we will contact you again."

Shao Yuqing didn't have high hopes at first, because Sihai Group has always been developing in Xizhou, and it was a luxury to think that he could get millions of investments from Li Yunhai.

It turned out that Li Yunhai was very generous, investing more than 30 million yuan as soon as he opened his mouth!

With the endorsement of Sihai Group, the Wenyin Industrial Park in the county can definitely be built.

In the evening, Shao Yuqing got very drunk at Li's house. He praised Li Yunhai and said a lot of good things.

After seeing Shao Yuqing off, the villagers also dispersed one after another.

Li Yunhai's house gradually became quiet.

As more people buy TV sets in the village, fewer people come to Li's house to watch TV.

Li Deming and Li Yunhai sat by the stove, warming themselves up, drinking tea and chatting.

Lin Zhi took her children and went upstairs to play with Li Yunfang and Li Yunying.

Peng Dianzi's parents-in-law were both working for Li Yunhai in the city and went home to celebrate the New Year. There was nothing at home.

Zhang Shuwen took a lot of vegetables and meat from home and asked Lao San to deliver them.

After Zhuang Yong and others escorted Li Yunhai home, they drove away in Santana.

Li Yunhai gave them eight days of leave and would report back to Xizhou on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year.

Li Deming rolled a homemade cigarette with tobacco leaves grown by himself. He was used to smoking this kind of cigarette, but not the one with a filter tip.

"Yunhai, your uncle has liver cancer. It's in the early stage." Li Deming said, "They asked me to borrow money for treatment. I asked the doctor and they said it can be cured in the early stage and the chance is high. Do you think this is happening?"

Of course Li Yunhai knew about this. In his previous life, his uncle had to put off treatment because he had no money, and he died soon after.

"How much do you want to borrow?" Li Yunhai asked.

"They say they want to borrow 20,000 yuan," Li Deming said, "I don't know if it's enough."

Twenty thousand yuan was definitely a large amount of money in rural areas in 1990.

Li Yunhai said: "Aren't his children also running typing and copying shops outside? Why don't they make any money?"

The third child said from the side: "What a shitty money you make! You don't know that cousin, if you make one dollar, you have to lose 80 cents in gambling! I heard that they only made back two thousand dollars last year! It's still the uncle and The eldest aunt cried and asked them to send it home for medical treatment. Otherwise, the two thousand yuan may not be saved."

Li Yunhai frowned.

In such a comparison, although the third child in the family is unbearable, he is still passable.

It seems that Zhang Yuxiang is a good wife and controls the financial power of the third child tightly.

Li Yunhai said: "We can't ignore death. You can borrow 20,000 yuan, and you can borrow more. But you must ask your cousin to write the IOU in person and let him repay it in installments, and pay back 500 yuan every month. Interest. Never mind."

Li Deming said: "Yes, I will do as you say!"

He called Zhang Shuwen and asked her to take 20,000 yuan from home and send it to his uncle's family.

The third child said: "Dad, how can you send money to my door? When they come to get it, let them write down the IOU."

Li Yunhai thought to himself, the third child has indeed matured a lot.

While they were discussing, the uncle's cousin came over, and it turned out that he was here to borrow money.

The uncle's family knew that Li Yunhai had come back and he must have brought money. Now is the best time to borrow money.

Li Deming took out the money and asked the other party to write an IOU.

The cousin took the money and left with a lot of gratitude.

The New Year atmosphere in the countryside is still very strong, including killing New Year pigs, posting couplets, setting off firecrackers, and visiting relatives.

This is also the reason why Li Yunhai and Lin Zhi are willing to go back to their hometown to celebrate the New Year every year.

They stayed at home until the sixth day of the Lunar New Year before returning to Xizhou.

Li Yunfang also followed them back to the city to prepare for the start of school.

Li Yunhai asked his eldest sister: "What are your plans after graduation? Will you take the postgraduate entrance examination?"

Li Yunfang said: "Brother, I want to start working earlier. You can't finish learning knowledge. You can also learn while working. A graduate degree is just an academic qualification and is far less important than practical experience."

Li Yunhai said: "Then you plan to comply with the assignment?"

Li Yunfang smiled and said: "Brother, you don't want me anymore?"

Li Yunhai patted his elder sister on the arm: "How could I not want you? I'm just waiting for you to come and help me after graduation!"

"Us? Who else?"

"There is also Lin Zhi's sister Lin Xin, and Shen Xiulan's sister Shen Xiuling. The three of you were admitted to university in the same year and will graduate this year!"

"Brother, I will definitely come to help you! Just arrange the work for me. Whatever you do will do!"

"You are a talented student, of course I want to put you to good use. How about being my secretary?"

"That won't work. Being a secretary doesn't mean using me more, but overqualifying me. You can arrange for Lin Xin and Xiuling to be your secretaries. I want to do specific work." (End of Chapter)
