Return to 1981 and start from breaking off the engagement

Chapter 141
"Pedong, don't get me wrong. Weijun and I have just arrived at your door. We were planning to knock on the door and you came out."

Li Qiming quickly explained that as the village party secretary, he did not want to get a bad reputation for eavesdropping on other people's walls. Besides, this was a misunderstanding in the first place.

"Looking for my dad?

Ma Peidong's expression softened a little and he frowned and asked.

Seeing Li Qiming nodding, he sighed helplessly, "Is it because of the greenhouse thing? It's useless! Now I'm the only one in the family who is willing to build a greenhouse with the guards, but you guys heard it just now, so what I said doesn't count."

Yao Weijun also frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "Pedong, tell me the truth, why is your wife unwilling to plant a greenhouse?"

"I don't know either. Anyway, I firmly disagree. When I asked, I said that growing greenhouses is not cost-effective. It's not practical to grow crops. Hey!"

Ma Peidong pinched Yahuazi anxiously and said truthfully.

"Pedong, you have to explain it clearly to your wife. If you are pregnant and have a baby next year, at least one of your four workers must be at home to take care of it. Planting crops, especially harvesting in autumn, is strenuous work. One less worker will have a big impact. , I have to live with this kind of life for at least several years before I can slowly get better."

Yao Weijun patiently explained the situation and continued: "If you agree to use the land to grow greenhouses, it will be completely different. First of all, the life is not so tiring. A family only needs to contribute one or two laborers, and there can almost always be two people. An adult takes care of the children at home.

In addition, growing mushrooms is more profitable than growing crops. This is a good thing that can serve multiple purposes. If you can’t explain it to your family, then Uncle Ming and I can try again. "

"..." Ma Peidong agreed with Yao Weijun's words, but said with a grimace: "Weijun, I know that growing greenhouses is a good thing. I have explained everything to my wife in nice words before, but the key is that she doesn't listen. ah!

I'm not afraid of the party secretary making fun of you, the guards. This girl is in trouble right now. She just doesn't agree to grow a greenhouse. She's pregnant now, and she's anxious to go back to Liujiawan. What can I do? "

"Liujiawan?" Yao Weijun was moved when he heard this, frowned and asked: "Is your wife's maiden family from Liujiawan? Are she and their village party secretary Liu Zhaojin the same family?"

"Well, the fifth server hasn't been released yet, so my wife calls Liu Zhaojin uncle." Ma Peidong nodded and explained.

Yao Weijun couldn't help but make more connections, and vaguely understood the reason why Ma Peidong's wife was determined not to grow greenhouses. It must have something to do with Liu Zhaojin, the party secretary of Liujiawan!

"Uncle Ming, let me tell you something..." Yao Weijun pulled Li Qiming aside and explained in detail what happened when Liu Zhaojin took Liu Laosan's wife and children to his home.

"Hey! From the looks of it, the one behind this is Liu Zhaojin!"

Li Qiming was a sensible person. After listening to Yao Weijun's words, he quickly made a judgment.

"Uncle Ming, don't be anxious now. We will enter the hospital later. Let's do this..."

Yao Weijun whispered a few words. After the two gathered together, they turned around and found that Ma Peidong had left at some point. Apparently he was staying at home to get angry, so he simply went out for a walk.

Li Qiming came to the door of the courtyard and raised his hand to knock on the door.

"Who!"

Ma Guangchao's voice came out, and then he opened the courtyard door a crack, and said angrily to Li Qiming: "Party Secretary, please let me go. Can't we just stop talking about the greenhouse? You guys come to the door again and again. What a mess it has made in my family, and my daughter-in-law is still pregnant!"

"Guangchao, you are already old, why don't you let a junior take care of you? Open the door, I am not looking for you this time, it is the guards who want to talk to you!"

Li Qiming frowned and said with a strong tone.

"Hey, it's useless for anyone to come. I know that the Guards are in peace now, but this has nothing to do with our family. I don't think we'll talk about it anymore. Just go and do what you're supposed to do. It's better than anything else!"

Ma Guangchao still blocked the opening of the courtyard door, showing no intention of opening the door.

"Hey, Ma Guangchao, as the village party secretary, I came to you with the guards and didn't even open the door?!" Li Qiming glared and scolded, "Don't do this to me. If it really delays the progress of the greenhouse planting, next time It’s not us who are coming back to find you, when the time comes, the commune leaders will come to talk to you in person!”

"Dad, let them come in. Our family has neither stolen nor robbed. We have farmed the land in an honest and responsible manner. Even if the real commune leaders come, they still have to be reasonable!"

At this time, there was a voice in the yard. From the sound, you could guess that it was Ma Guangchao's daughter-in-law.

With a "squeak", Ma Guangchao pushed open the courtyard door with a dark face, and said impatiently: "Let's talk about it. Anyway, whatever you say, I definitely want to grow crops on the land, and I am not interested in anything else!"

Yao Weijun and Li Qiming looked at each other and walked into the courtyard.

"Weijun, Guangchao and his wife live in a side house. Let's go sit in the house and talk."

Li Qiming had been to Ma Guangchao's house several times, so he knew the family's respective residences very well. He motioned for Yao Weijun to follow him and walk straight to the west wing.

Yao Weijun looked at the entire yard. There were three adobe houses, and two side rooms in the east and west. The east side room was a food shed and grain store, and the west side room was hung with cloth curtains. Ma Guangchao and his wife lived here.

From this aspect, he further confirmed that Ma Guangchao's daughter-in-law had the final say in this family, and she was not filial. In this winter, the main house was still empty, but the old couple was driven to live in a side room.

"Here comes the party secretary. Hey, Guards, hurry up, come in and sit down." Ma Guangchao's wife came to the door of the house and greeted him warmly with a smile on her face.

After entering the house and taking a seat, Yao Weijun did not see Ma Guangchao's daughter-in-law, who was obviously staying in the main room.

"Weijun, I know you are here to persuade me to plant greenhouses, but as for this, don't blame your uncle for not giving you face. The main reason is that our family is not interested in it, and we still think it is more cost-effective to grow crops, so if you have something to say, Needless to say, just think of it as a visit to my uncle’s house and let’s chat for a while.”

Ma Guangchao signaled his wife to make tea, wiped his face with his hands, and said frankly.

"Uncle Guangchao, you may have a misunderstanding. It's your freedom whether to plant a greenhouse or not. I don't think it's necessary to keep talking about this matter again and again. If you find it annoying, Uncle Ming and I don't have the time either. Right Bar?"

Yao Weijun looked calm and handed over a cigarette.

"...This is reasonable, that's what it is." Ma Guangchao originally thought that Yao Weijun would do what Li Qiming did before, and persuade him to change his mind after sitting down, but he didn't expect to hear these words, and he couldn't react for a while, so he He nodded in agreement and laughed dryly. "So, Guardsman, why are you here today..." Ma Guangchao's wife asked subconsciously, with a puzzled look on her face.

"Oh, if there's nothing else, I just came to confirm with Uncle Guangchao that your family won't participate in the joint construction of greenhouses in the village, right? It doesn't matter, just say what you think, no one is forcing you."

Yao Weijun lit his cigarette and said calmly.

"..." The more he spoke so casually, Ma Guangchao did not answer immediately. Instead, he pondered for a while and nodded heavily as if he had made up his mind.

But before he could express his position, Yao Weijun calmly said again:

"Okay, Uncle Guangchao, I understand your family's decision clearly. Let's do this. You will write a certificate later, clearly stating two things on it, and then sign it to ensure that the village will not trouble you in the future.

First of all, I promise to never participate in the joint planting of greenhouses in the village in the future. Even if I see other families making a thousand yuan a year, I can't regret it, let alone be jealous. "

"..."

After Yao Weijun finished speaking, Ma Guangchao was stunned. He thought about it for a while, and couldn't help but said to himself: "Isn't it just a greenhouse? How can you earn thousands of dollars a year? How can it be so... It’s a good thing, I’m not jealous.”

"Uncle Guangchao, you really reminded me, it is indeed not a thousand pieces..." Yao Weijun said this and deliberately asked Li Qiming: "By the way, Uncle Ming, have you brought those two pre-sale agreements? Can you help me?" Let me take a look and I have forgotten the specific amount on it. I told Uncle Guangchao that a thousand dollars was probably inaccurate, right?"

"Just wait and let me take a look." Li Qiming immediately took out two pre-sale agreements from his black leather bag and read aloud, "We haven't started planting mushrooms in our village yet, and there are already people willing to spend money to buy them, huh?" ...The amount written on this one is 10 yuan, and I look at the other one, hey, good guy, this one is 13 yuan, which adds up to 23 yuan!"

"Uncle Ming, there should be almost a hundred households in our village signing up to participate, right? If you calculate it this way, it won't be much money if it is transferred to each household, only a few hundred yuan at most?"

Yao Weijun and Li Qiming sang together, both looking like they were discussing and researching, ignoring Ma Guangchao and his wife next to them.

"A few hundred yuan is still less? Weijun, you have forgotten the most important thing. These are all sold in advance. When our mushrooms come in large quantities, the production will be overwhelming. Where is this? ah!"

Li Qiming explained seriously: "According to the village's estimates, even the household with the least investment can only earn more than a thousand yuan a year. I estimate that in a few years, the households with ten thousand yuan in our village will be like leeks." , one after another, haha..."

As he laughed loudly, the expressions of Ma Guangchao and his wife changed obviously. You looked at me and I looked at you, and everyone fell silent.

"Uncle Guangchao, we won't waste any time. As long as you write down one more thing clearly, Uncle Ming and I will leave immediately and promise not to come to you again in the future."

Yao Weijun pretended not to see the expressions of the old couple, looked at Ma Guangchao seriously and continued:
"The other point is actually not that big of a deal. When a greenhouse is built around your land, it will involve watering the ground through water diversion channels, affecting the light needed for crop growth, and pulling corn in and out of the ground. , Uncle Guangchao, you have to make it clear that you are voluntarily ignoring these factors when it comes to harvesting wheat, and at the same time, you will not go to the village headquarters to complain."

"How is that possible!" Ma Guangchao became anxious when he heard this. He stood up from his chair and said loudly: "You have built greenhouses next to my land. How can I farm? When the food comes, Who will make up for the production reduction? I definitely can’t write this!”

"Whether you write or not will not affect the construction of the greenhouse at all! In the future, your crop production will decrease and it will be inconvenient to work in the fields. That is also your fault! It has nothing to do with anyone!"

Yao Weijun raised his tone and shouted coldly.

Seeing that Ma Guangchao was about to have an attack, he immediately smiled calmly again and continued:
"Uncle Guangchao, don't think I'm being harsh. Now I'm not in charge of building greenhouses in our village. It's something our village has to do collectively under the instructions of the county leaders. If you have to go against the leaders' policies, , then someone will naturally deal with you, and I don’t know what the consequences will be."

"This is impossible!" Ma Guangchao actually felt guilty, but still cheered himself up.

"Oh, Guangchao, why are you so confused! If you can't settle things at home, you will interfere with the collective work? You are really good at it!"

As Li Qiming spoke, he took out the joint production-stamped document from his wallet, "Did you see it? The documents issued by the superiors are here. You know a few words, so you won't be unable to understand them, right?"

"Old man!" Ma Guangchao's wife looked sad at the moment and called Ma Guangchao with a reminder in her tone.

"..." Ma Guangchao stopped talking. After reading the contents of the document, he silently took out his tobacco bag, lit it, and started smoking.

"I've told you so many times in meetings that if you have any difficulties, you can come to the village department. Even if it's a matter at home, you can come to me to discuss it!"

After seeing Yao Weijun's gaze, Li Qiming spoke loudly, "Guangchao, tell me, who in your family is opposed to building a greenhouse?"

"Me! What's wrong? Is there a problem?!"

At this time, a voice sounded outside the door. Ma Guangchao's daughter-in-law opened the door, raised the curtain and walked in a few steps. She looked at Yao Weijun and Li Qiming with dissatisfaction and dissatisfaction on their faces.

"Then just tell me!" Li Qiming darkened his face and said in a deep voice.

Ma Guangchao's daughter-in-law was not afraid at all, and deliberately held out her belly and said: "Whatever you say, I just don't think there is any money to be made from growing that thing. Since it is a voluntary participation, do I need a reason not to participate?"

"Guangchao! You are not a family member now, are you?! Who do you listen to in this family?!"

When Li Qiming saw this girl acting rogue, he simply turned to Ma Guangchao and asked.

"Party Secretary, please keep your voice down, don't scare my grandson!" Ma Guangchao quickly waved his hand to remind him. After dry coughing, he continued: "Then what, our whole family is summarizing, and we will give you a confirmation in a few days, okay?"

Obviously, what Yao Weijun said just now made him a little moved, but because his daughter-in-law was still insisting, he planned to take it easy first and deal with Yao Weijun and the other two before talking.

"Dad! What are you talking about! Do we still need to add up in this matter? Didn't we all agree not to build a greenhouse? Wow, I'm so angry that I can't help but why is this little matter not over yet!"

As the daughter-in-law spoke, she acted angrily and kept stroking the clothes in front of her belly with her hands, frowning.

"Who said it's endless? It's easy to disagree. What's that? Guangchao, you two, tell your daughter-in-law what Wei Jun said just now and ask her to sign for confirmation. This matter is over! "

Li Qiming said seriously.
