Hello 1983

  Chapter 146 True Friends

  The last partner selected by Liu Qingshan is Zhang Long from Xinhui Village.

  After dinner in the evening, Zhang Long and Zhang Biao were also called over to accompany the guests. Zhang Biao, of course, was Er Biaozi's queen.

  After everyone in the family finished eating and went to watch TV at grandpa’s house, only their little brothers were left in the house, Liu Qingshan explained the situation clearly to Zhang Long.

  Zhang Long couldn't help but his eyes lit up: "Sanfeng, what do you mean, I can ask my comrades to go there together?"

  Liu Qingshan nodded, Zhang Long only has one hand now, how many more can he hit?

  So what he wants to rely on is Zhang Long's comrades-in-arms, but they are all brave men who have experienced many battles.

   "Tomorrow, I will go to Longjiang Province with Biaozi to buy the rice planting machinery, and see if I can find some comrades in arms."

  Zhang Long is also impatient, so don’t be in a hurry. In the homes of those comrades who died, there are elderly people and younger brothers and sisters waiting to be fed.

   Without the pillar of the family, life is almost impossible.

  As for the pension, the average soldier is about 500 yuan, and every cent spent is one cent less.

   "Then I will go back to Spring City tomorrow, first set up the greenhouse, and then purchase flower seeds and seedlings."

  Hou San is also in a hurry, he finally has a chance to make a fortune, so can he not be in a hurry.

  He's almost thirty, and he hasn't asked for a wife yet.

   "I still want to play here for a few more days, I didn't play enough last time."

  Gangzi muttered dissatisfiedly, this guy is easy-going, this kind of person is generally blessed.

   "Brother, you are my own brother, stay here, I can't even sleep now!"

  Hou San was so anxious that he almost scratched his head.

   "Who is your brother? Your kid is several years older than me."

  While speaking, Gangzi stretched out his hand and patted Hou San's head: "You, you are in a hurry."

  Looking at Hou San, everyone smiled.

  The next day was the seventh day of the first lunar month. Liu Qingshan packed up and prepared to drive to Spring City. He had to keep an eye on the preparatory work.

  The jeep was packed to the brim, and there were six people in total. Gangzi wanted to put Hou San in the trunk, who told him he was the thinnest.

   It was much easier to unload Zhang Long and Er Biaozi when we arrived at the county seat.

"Bon Voyage!"

  Liu Qingshan waved to Zhang Long and Er Biaozi. If it was Er Biaozi alone, he would never be worried about bringing so much money, but it would be different with Zhang Long.

   It’s really troublesome. Take out the military medal, it’s easy to use anywhere.

  The two sides split into two groups in the county seat and went their separate ways. After Liu Qingshan drove for a while, he gave up the driving seat to Brother Fei.

  Gangzi also had itchy hands, but he just started to learn to drive, so Liu Qingshan couldn't trust him.

   Bumping all the way to Chuncheng, it was already midnight, so I found a hotel to stay in. After breakfast the next day, under the guidance of Hou San, I went to Erdaohezi in the eastern suburbs.

   Driving out of the urban area, there are flat fields, also covered by snow, where the sun shines, and occasionally the land melts and is exposed.

  The jeep drove into a small village with dozens of sparse households. Hou San said that the small village in their hometown was called "Gongrong Village" in the past, and it was the name given by the devils at that time.

   But after liberation, the name was changed, and now it is called Guangrong Village.

  Liu Qingshan also found it very interesting, from common prosperity to glory, this in itself is the epitome of a nation's progress and prosperity.

  However, this small village still looks very poor at the moment. There are a few scattered brick houses, and most of the rest are mud houses.

   Parked in front of a dilapidated thatched cottage, several people got out of the car, Hou San pointed at the three thatched cottages: "This is my hometown."

  Look at Liu Qingshan, the house is pretty dilapidated, but the front and back of the house are spacious enough to build a shed.

  A **** dog suddenly rushed out of the yard, and kept yelling at Hou San.

  Hou San was so angry that Hou San cursed: "Dahei, you forgot about me, you son of a bitch!"

  Gangzi couldn't help but burst into laughter: "There is nothing wrong with your scolding."

   After being scolded, the **** dog seemed to recognize Hou San and began to wag its tail.

  At this time, two elderly people in their fifties walked out of the room.

  In this era, people in their fifties are indeed old men and old ladies.

  The old man's face was wrinkled and his back was hunched. When he saw Hou San, he immediately got angry and shouted: "You prodigal son, you know how to come back, get out of here, I'll get mad at you."

  Liu Qingshan can also guess the general idea: Hou San doesn't do his job properly, and he doesn't want to work hard in the fields, so in the eyes of his father, he is just a **** and unwelcome.

  It was the gray-haired old lady, Hou San's mother, who stabbed the old man, and then said to Liu Qingshan and the others:

   "You are Sanzi's friends, come in and sit down."

  The old man muttered in his mouth: "Fish looks for fish, shrimp looks for shrimp..."

   I was stabbed by my wife again, and I didn't say anything worse after that.

  Hou San also felt a little humiliated, and stomped his feet angrily: "Father, my friend is here for business this time, and he found a way for our family to get rich."

  The old man seemed to have a stubborn temper, and he hummed twice: "I don't expect to get rich, don't let your family lose everything, I will burn the incense."

  Liu Qingshan didn't take it seriously either, and happily entered the room with the gift.

  Hou San's mother picked up the broom and quickly pulled the kang mat, muttering: "Come here, come, what gifts do you want, it's too expensive."

  In the first lunar month, of course you can’t come to the door empty-handed. Liu Qingshan put out two bottles of wine, two bottles of canned food, two bags of sugar and two cigarettes, which frightened the old couple for a while.

  When the eldest and second child of this family went on a blind date, they were not willing to take so many good things when they went to the husband's house.

   This is not over yet, Gangzi also opened the cardboard box he was holding, and there were some fresh vegetables inside.

  Looking at the juicy cucumbers and leeks, the old couple's eyes were straightened: They didn't eat green vegetables during the Chinese New Year!

  The vegetables were brought by Liu Qingshan, and he also took advantage of the opportunity to open up the conversation:

   "Master, Ma'am, our village is just a greenhouse. We grow vegetables in winter and sell them to the car factory. Look at this leek, you two. It costs 50 cents a catty, and cucumbers cost 30 cents!"

  Hou Xilu, Hou San's father, waved his hands again and again when he heard this: "Don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, such a precious thing, it would be ruined if we eat it, you take it to the city and sell it."

  The old lady also kept shaking her head: "I dare not eat it, I dare not eat it."

  Liu Qingshan blinked: It seems that the effect is a bit too good, it scares people.

  So he said cheerfully: "Grandpa and aunt, we are here today to teach you the technology of this plastic greenhouse. By this winter, you will be able to go to the city to sell vegetables. Isn't that life easier?"

  Hou Xilu was surprised when he heard that, he stared at Liu Qingshan, and then became more and more excited:

   "You are honest, you are different from those cronies that the third son made before,"

  Hou Sanga slammed his mouth a few times, but in the end he didn't refute, because what the old man said was the truth.

  His mother was also very excited, and tremblingly poured water for several people, and kept saying, "That's good, that's good."

  After she finished pouring the water, Hou Xilu asked her to call the eldest and the second, and the family had a good discussion.

  Hou San's two elder brothers both got married and are both in the village. They will come soon. They are both honest farmers, and they are completely different from Hou San.

  The old lady went to the outhouse to pack the food, and the rest of the people talked about things in the house.

  Liu Qingshan told his plan: he planned to build a shed in front of the house and in the back of the house, all invested by them.

   One of them is used to cultivate Clivia; the other one is used by the Hou family.

  Hou's family will provide the venue and labor to take care of the greenhouse. At that time, Liu Qingshan is also planning to hire a master who specializes in flower planting.

  When the greenhouse is completed, it is estimated that Zhang Long will be able to bring his comrades here, and all the food and lodging will be at Hou's house, and then some food expenses will be enough.

  The construction of the greenhouse can only be started in the first month, but now you can prepare materials first, such as red bricks, skeletons and plastics, all are prepared in advance.

  Liu Qingshan directly took out a thousand dollars, which was enough for feeding.

   The matter of preparing the materials is handed over to Hou Dahou and his second brother. Hou San mainly buys Clivia seeds in the urban area and looks for a reliable teacher.

   Wait until the construction of the greenhouse is completed, and the construction can start immediately.

   Seeing Liu Qingshan handing out real gold and silver, Hou Dahou Er no longer had any doubts, and patted his chest to promise that the greenhouse will be built.

  As for some technical problems, Hou San has already seen them in Jiapigou, and he will just keep an eye on them.

  After lunch here, Liu Qingshan and the others left Qianjin Village, and the Hou family sent them out of the village. When they came back, it was still like a dream.

   "The third kid finally made a few reliable friends!"

  The eldest brother of the Hou family spoke out what everyone was thinking, and they suddenly felt that this day seemed to be going well.

   When the group returned to the urban area, Liu Qingshan gave Hou San another 1,000 yuan to buy seeds.

  Most of the money was put on Brother Fei, and he told Hou San: When the money at hand is gone, go to Brother Fei and Gangzi for it.

  Of course Hou San understands the reason behind this.

   After all, the relationship between him and Liu Qingshan is not far behind.

  If people can trust him and hand over 1,000 yuan to him, then they have already trusted him a lot.

   Hou San, this guy, has not been in the Spring City for nothing these years. He has three schools and nine schools, and he knows a lot of people. Ask him to buy the seeds of Clivia, and he has indeed found the right person. He is very suitable for this job.

   As a result, the next night, this guy found Liu Qingshan and began to complain:

   "It's just a money grab. If you dare to ask for four or five yuan for a flower seed of a rare variety, these people are **** crazy!"

  Liu Qingshan smiled: This is where it is, the real madness has not yet begun.

  Hou San ran with Gangzi, so it was impossible to play tricks on the price. Liu Qingshan comforted him with a smile:

   "Brother Hou, if it's cheap, we don't need to prepare 10,000 yuan of start-up capital."

  Hou San nodded, sighing in his heart: Sure enough, only rich people can afford this thing.

  Liu Qingshan told him again: "Brother Hou, just open the door to buy, and when you spend all the money, you will be considered as completing the task."

   "Also, if you come across cheap large plants or one-year seedlings, don't feel bad about the money, just sell them when you have to."

  Hou San gritted his teeth and patted his small chest: "Brother, don't worry, I didn't take a penny of capital. If running errands is no longer useful, then I, Hou San, will really become a monkey!"

   After the guarantee is over, this guy blinked his eyes a few times, and suddenly felt guilty again: "Brother, ten thousand yuan is all spent from me, do you think I am a bit too prodigal?"

  Liu Qingshan smiled: "Brother Hou, I'm not telling you to earn 10,000 yuan, so don't put too much pressure on it."

   "I don't know what to do because it's a waste of money. If I lose money in the end, I, Hou San, will be sorry for you!"

  Hou San also seemed to be genuinely moved, his eyes were red, these words were indeed from his heart.

  Liu Qingshan nodded slightly, he really recognized Hou San.

  So he raised his hand and patted Hou San's small shoulder: "Brother Hou, you can go to work at ease, now is just the beginning, and the days when we can make a lot of money together will be long."
