Era: 1979 From mountain man to richest man

Chapter 40 Good things happen on the first day after separation

When I heard that the water was about to be released, the fields suddenly became lively.

The production team immediately started arranging work.

Check each field bank to see if it needs maintenance.

Even the children in the village joined in the inspection, and each one looked at the field ridge again and again, for fear that the water would leak somewhere later.

This autumn's harvest depends on these rice, and both adults and children are very concerned about it.

Half an hour later, the water from the Renmin Canal arrived as promised.

The rice fields in Qingsong Bay are finally filled with water.

Not only that, the extra water also filled the two weirs and ponds in Qingsong Bay with new water.

When people see water, they see hope.

With this water, the rice can last for many days.

After all, it is bound to rain.

As long as you survive this period of time, it shouldn't be a big problem.

……

On the other side, Song Chaoyang salted the pork and marinated it.

Then started working on some pork liver and pork loin.

A pair of pork livers and two pork loin can't be saved. He plans to make a large plate of stir-fried liver and loin at night.

Together with the meat dishes brought back today, it is enough for their family of five to have a good meal.

In addition, there are ten pounds of pork suet that also need to be refined into lard.

The pork these days is black pork, which is much more delicious than the white pork that will become more common in the future.

Whether it's pork, pig offal or lard black pig is better.

However, the meat yield is not as high as that of white pigs.

So it was gradually eliminated later.

Song Chaoyang was busy with his own affairs, and he didn't have time to care about outside matters.

By the time he finished these things, two hours had passed.

He fetched water and washed his face in front of his house, and then he saw many people returning from work outside.

Everyone's face was filled with joy.

Seeing the drooping rice in the fields coming to life again, everyone felt hope again.

At this time, several neighbors also passed by Song Chaoyang's door and suddenly gave him a thumbs up and said:

"Chaoyang, you are so awesome!"

"Huh?" Song Chaoyang was confused for a while. How could he be so good?

Originally, he thought the other party was going to talk about the separation last night, but instead, the other party pointed to the field and said:
"Today both the team leader and the old party secretary said that half of our village's ability to get rid of the water is due to you."

Another person also said to him.

"That's right, if you hadn't saved Kong Zhiqing, she wouldn't have agreed to help our village get the water down."

Then another person said:

"You didn't see it today. Kong Zhiqing's legs were not healed yet, so he came down with people from the Armed Forces Department. At about ten o'clock in the afternoon, the leaders of the Armed Forces Department called the militia platoon leaders from each village to the educated youth point of our brigade. Meeting.”

“The poplar forest in Yangjiagou was directly named in front of everyone during the meeting.”

"Ask him whether he is a militia platoon leader or a bandit."

"He took the lead in grabbing water, and also took the lead in fighting and beating others."

"That posture... scared Yang Shulin to death on the spot."

"Hurry up and apologize to our brigade secretary and brigade captain."

"Then this kid didn't even eat lunch, so he rode his bicycle to buy water for our village."

Song Chaoyang suddenly realized when he heard this.

The plot was similar to what he had predicted in his dream. Although he was woken up by his father before he finished the dream, the subsequent development was as he expected.

After the little girl on the side heard this, she felt that her third brother was really clever. He just said that it was someone from Yangjiagou who went to buy water, but he didn't expect it to be true.

At this time, someone else said to Song Chaoyang:
"By the way, they not only compensated us for water, but also compensated you and your uncle's medical expenses."

"The old branch secretary should come over to you later."

Song Chaoyang didn't expect that he would actually pay for the medical expenses. He knew that his grandfather Song Xiaoren and uncle Song Shoujin had gone there to ask for medical bills last time.

It seems that the people from Yangjiagou were really frightened by the people from Yangjiagou who came from the armed forces in this province.

This group of people usually do not suffer losses, but this time they offered to pay for water and money, which is the first time it has ever happened.

From this point of view, the relationship between Kong Yun's family is really a bit hard.

She had promised to help Murakami solve this problem and asked about the injury on her head. She didn't expect that it would be solved so quickly and thoroughly in one go.

If ordinary people want to ask provincial officials to go there in person, it would be very difficult for them to come to this small mountain village to manage the affairs of two villages.

This also gave Song Chaoyang a new understanding of Kong Yun's family background.

After a while, the father and mother came back. They had just arrived home, and before they had time to say a word to Song Chaoyang, the second brother came later with the old party secretary and the captain.

As soon as they met, they started praising Song Chaoyang.

If Song Chaoyang hadn't relied on Kong Yun to do this today, it would have been impossible to do it so beautifully.

The old party secretary's old face was full of smiles, and even the captain looked proud.

It can be seen that they are quite satisfied with this matter.

Then the old branch secretary took out fifteen yuan from his pocket and stuffed it into Song Chaoyang's hand solemnly.

This is the amount of money that Yangjiagou paid him.

Then the captain waved his hand and directly calculated one month's work points for Song Chaoyang.

Originally, it was considered half a month, but after thinking about it, I felt that this was a good thing. After discussion with several leaders in their village, they decided to directly change the half-month work point into one month.

Including the previous seven days, Song Chaoyang received 370 work points.

Originally, Song Chaoyang wanted to keep the old party secretary and the team leader here for dinner, but they said they still had other things to arrange and shied away from Song Chaoyang's kindness.

Song Chaoyang had no choice but to give up. He originally wanted to talk to them about the homestead during dinner.

It seems that this matter can only be postponed until next time.

Song Chaoyang helped the whole village get water, and this time he became famous.

He didn't think it was anything, he just said it casually, but he didn't expect Kong Yun to do it so beautifully.

Only my father and mother are the happiest. Song Chaoyang has such a good reputation this time. Maybe the niece who broadcasts the radio in Li Delin Commune will really like him.

Who doesn't want the man he marries to be famous in the world?

Everyone in the village gave a thumbs up when mentioned.

Taking advantage of their current excitement, Song Chaoyang took out the things he bought today.

There were so many good things that my parents and my second brother were dumbfounded.

My mother, Xu Cuiping, said to Song Chaoyang:
"You kid, why don't you know how to save money? You can dig up those gastrodia elata every day."

Father Song Shouyi also said:
"I bought so much pork, and there is still so much lean meat. Oops, you have been tricked by the meat seller. If you buy pork, you should buy it with the fat..."

At this point, he was suddenly startled, and then asked:

"No, you don't even have meat tickets, how could you buy them on the street?"

Then he suddenly thought of a possibility and hurriedly asked:
"You didn't buy someone else's meat ticket, did you?"

Buying other people's meat tickets is also a way to buy meat, but it costs more money.

Hearing his question, the little girl on the other side couldn't hold it in anymore and said to several people:

"This meat and many other things were all given by others."

So everyone's eyes fell on the little girl, and several people showed disbelief. Who would be so generous and give away so much meat these days?

And this little girl also said that not only did she give away meat, she also had many other things given by others?

Bragging and not drafting!

Everyone is having a hard time these days, so who can give away so many things?

The little girl probably saw everyone's doubts, so she told everyone exactly what happened on the street today.

The whole family was stunned when they heard this.

In the end, even Song Shouyi muttered:
"Is it true that if we separate the families, this family will be lucky?"

Even my mother, who always said that he was feudal and superstitious, couldn't help but nodded:

"Don't tell me, today is only the first day, and all these good things are coming together."

"Maybe what you said is really good."

Next, I put away the things I bought today. Everything that should be locked in the cabinet must be put away.

Then after thinking about it, he asked Song Chaoyang to cut a pound of meat and send it to Kong Yun at the educated youth point.

After all, they were a big help this time. Yu Gong provided irrigation water for the whole village, and Yu Private's family also got 15 yuan in compensation and one month's work points for Song Chaoyang.

No matter what, you should go see other people.

Song Chaoyang heard what his mother said, so he suggested that he simply make the meat into a dish and send it over.

When I thought about it, they had to make food for dinner anyway.

It’s okay if Song Chaoyang said so.

If it weren't for Kong Yun's bad feet, she would have invited them to her home for a meal.

No one else in the family had any objections to this, so Song Chaoyang personally made three dishes and one soup.

A fish-flavored shredded pork, a twice-cooked pork, a stir-fried liver and kidney, and a pickled cabbage and shredded pork soup.

Thinking of Cao Wei, Song Chaoyang got another large lunch box of rice.

I guess it should be enough for two people.

After putting all the things in the basket, he headed towards the educated youth spot of the brigade.
