From Cultivator to Widow - Chapter 133

Regarding the family contract, some people started it as early as 1978, and it has been promoted one after another. However, it was not until the beginning of this year that an official document was issued. Before that, for some reasons, many people were conservatives. No file is issued and dare not move.

Now, after a period of fermentation, this system is generally accepted, and Zhang Quan, like Zhang Quan, can still think of contracting and going back to plant fruit trees.

Some time ago, Zhang Quan and Zhao Laidi went to their city to see their son. Their son was assigned to be a teacher and also assigned a house. They just finished a project at that time and had no work to do, so they went there. Look at him and his grandson.

The house was a building, and the place was just right for their family of three.

This family of three refers to Zhang Jinhua, Wu Chuchu, and their son.

The first two daughters are in their hometown and live with Zhang Gen and Li Manfen.

The two of them went to the floor when there was no spare room.

Zhao Laidi lived for two days and didn’t want to leave. She said that she stayed there to take care of them and let Wu Chuchu concentrate on work outside. Compared to doing chores on the construction site, Zhao Laidi preferred to stay at her son’s house to help take care of her grandson.

But Wu Chuchu was unwilling.

I took my son with him when he was working, so there was no need to leave someone to take him with him.

Moreover, she is not happy to have a mother-in-law living in this house. She is the master without a mother-in-law at home.

She didn’t know how annoying it would be at that time, so she simply brought up the situation at home and suggested that they go back if they didn’t want to find a job outside.

In addition to working in the fields, you can also grow fruit trees.

Wu Chuchu also heard people say that there was a fruit tree in a nearby village, and someone just came to harvest it. That year was a bumper harvest. I sold it to the factory to make canned fruit and made a lot of money, which is no better than working outside. How much less, and can take care of the family in the hometown.

Having said so much, her purpose is to prevent Zhao Laidi from staying at her house.

When Zhao Laidi heard this, she was a little moved. It’s not wrong to work in the city to make money, but the house in the city has a big disadvantage, that is, it is really too small, there is no yard, it is inconvenient to do anything, and you are away from home. , It is also inconvenient to work outside. You have to buy everything to eat and drink. In the village, it is different. There is no money for the things in the land.

Zhang Quan is thinking about another aspect. He is the eldest of the family. His parents are living with him when they are old. Now he is away from home and can’t take care of them. Before, when he was harvesting, his father worked too hard and was injured. The body was sick for a while.

If they were at home, Dad wouldn’t have to work so hard.

They hesitated for a long time, came back from the city to work here, and while thinking, finally decided to ask Su An, the most promising person they knew was her, and her vision was definitely better than theirs.

Zhao Laidi knew that they had been filthy before, so this time Zhang Quan came alone and she didn’t show up.

It would be bad if her appearance reminded Su An of their unhappiness before and deliberately said something to mislead them.

The other party came with sincerity, Su An said something, “It’s okay to plant fruit trees, this is not like a crop, there are not many crops in the place that needs to be taken care of, but like the crops in the field, the harvest depends on the weather, and there will be pest disasters. You need to consider sales channels. Fruits are not like grains, so they are not so convenient for transportation and storage. There is no corresponding fruit canning factory in the town. You can absorb them. The factory provides holiday benefits, and the cost of outbound transportation is relatively high. There is no train station in the town. If you want to outbound transportation, you can only use trucks, which is very limited. I think you can also consider cash crops, such as sesame and peanuts, etc. These transportation are much more convenient. Well, the value is also high”

Zhang Gen pondered while listening, nodding from time to time, “I see.”

After finishing speaking, Su An added, “This is my personal suggestion. I’m not in this industry, and the contact will be more one-sided. You have to think about it yourself.”

Zhang Quan couldn’t speak, he just nodded, “I know, I have to think about it.”

Seeing the back of Zhang Quan leaving, Su An felt a little emotional. From a certain point of view, Zhang Quan’s son can still be a good son. He is the eldest in the family, and his parents followed him, because Zhang Gen worked too hard when he was harvesting. , he just wanted to go back to take care of the family. The income from returning home and farming is two different things from working outside. He can put it down, but he doesn’t know if his son will be able to do like him in the future.

After the emotion was over, Su An quickly began to inquire about the place.

When there were no documents issued before, many of these mountains were grown by it freely. Now, within the scope of the division, each production team in each village is privately owned. They can contract out, and after contracting, they can get a contract fee. , this contract fee is based on one cent of the head of the village, which can make a lot of people’s wallets bulge.

Some places have already been taken down, but what Su An sees is different from their requirements for building factories.

Su An had been asking about it before, but the time was not right, because everyone had concerns at that time, and they didn’t dare to do more. Now it is widely accepted, and if someone comes to rent, they can rent it out with confidence.

They are not stupid. They rent out all the places they can’t use in their villages. They basically don’t rent out their own good fields and good land. Unless everyone in the family has a job, there are really no extra people coming. Farming, will consider renting.

This kind of rental is also short-term, regardless of the long-term, if there is any change, it can be recycled at any time and cultivated by yourself.

Don’t want this kind of Su An, otherwise, it’s hard to set up a shelf, and the contract expires, and it’s not a blood loss to return it to them.

If she wants to sign, she will sign the long-term one, and all the formalities are done properly, so as not to argue later.

She contracted these for her sauce factory, for the raw materials of the sauce factory, pork, chicken, duck, mushrooms, sesame, etc., in addition to fruit.

The popularity of jam in China is relatively average, but it is very popular abroad. Many of them like to spread a layer of jam on bread.

For these jams, most of the jams produced by Su An are exported, and very few are sold in China, but the quantity is actually not much, because it is limited by the materials.

People generally prefer to grow things that can fill their stomachs. Fruits are a pastime. When their stomachs are not full, few people are willing to keep them. Many of them cut down the fruit trees that occupy the space and plant others. Even if it is not cut down, it is abandoned, and there is basically no output, so the raw materials they can receive are limited.

Now that you have your own place, you can plant whatever you want. Contracting the land is only the first step. You have to hire others to be responsible for reclamation, planting, weeding, pest control, watering, and harvesting, which will create another wave of work. jobs, bringing benefits to a wave of people, and the government welcomes this.

Su An doesn’t feel that it’s a loss. She can now have raw materials. After the ingredients are generally added with various things, she can also have a back garden where she can enter with confidence, and like this kind of contracted place, it looks like a normal location now. But after a few years of development, it will not be a remote area. If it is expropriated, it will still get a windfall income.

This wave interrupted her enthusiasm for studying on the mountain. When she went back, she was still in a hot mood, but she didn’t have the urgency to get an immediate result regardless.

Recently, Pan Jiaye has been a little bit better. He likes riding a money-burning activity.

If you want to pursue varieties and venues, the money you need to invest is not a little bit.

He was a little proud at first, but after inquiring about the prices of those pure-bloods abroad, he became humble again.

What is he so proud of

He was reluctant to buy a horse.

He still earns money honestly.

Su Shiwei stretched a little tiredly. In front of him was an open book with half-solved problems on it. He leaned back on the back of the chair and put his head on the back of the chair to look at the roof. The expression on his face is a little empty. Studying is really tiring. Studying is not something that people do. How can some people study as easily as eating and drinking?

Thinking of the four cousins ​​in his aunt’s family, he sighed. With them in front of him, he was embarrassed to be too lazy. If the gap was too big and no one else said anything, he would shrink back a little.

He graduated from high school, so he should be fine.

As for the university, he has self-knowledge, and there is still some time before the college entrance examination is wrong, but he is admitted, unless he is lucky and guesses the question ahead of time, otherwise it is impossible.

In fact, the high school education is already very good. I don’t know how many people have not graduated from primary school, but they will lose their share compared with a few brothers.

And this comparison also depends on how it is compared. If it is compared with several cousins ​​in the aunt’s family and his own brother, high school is the lowest education level, but compared with his mother’s cousins, he is already very good. Not bad, high school is second only to a university degree.

It’s not that he hasn’t worked hard, but he really has no interest in learning, and his grades can’t be improved. There’s no way.

The grades are left here. He has also thought about the future. He was admitted to the university for the job that was assigned. When he was admitted to the university, he would have a work unit all his life. If he did not pass the test, he had to rely on himself. related departments.

But he didn’t want to go into this kind of department, he wanted to be in business, just like Dad.

Doing business can make a lot of money, and money can buy a lot of things.

Just like the house that their family moved into now, their family is really comfortable, but if he wants to buy such a house in the future, he doesn’t know how many years he will have to work before he can afford it, and he wants to wait for the state to allocate it. It’s even more difficult. Below a certain level, the assigned house cannot be so good, and he doesn’t like to be restrained, so he can do business more freely, which is what he likes.

However, his mother still expected him to be admitted to university, and tried very hard to supervise him. Thinking of this, he sighed.

Grandpa, grandma, and father are not so persistent, only mother.

He had no choice but to try his best to force himself to learn, to learn a little is a little, although he hoped that it would not be so big, thinking of this, he sighed again.

I remembered the thing about following my grandfather and father to see Baoguo’s cousin.

Being a soldier is also a way. His height can meet the standard, and he has no problems such as myopia, but he does not want to be a soldier.

Seeing cousin Baoguo like that, he felt a little trembling in his heart at that time. Boys have always been raised rough, bumped, hurt and bleed.

It’s not uncommon at all, but the extent to which it hurt my cousin is unimaginable.

He imagined himself that he didn’t fit in.

After much deliberation, business is suitable for him. If he graduates, he will do business with his father and sell clothes together. He can run errands with his father, whether it is to buy goods or wholesale to others, he can do it. Help, just like Mom is helping Dad right now.

He straightened his neck, stretched one hand to the back of his neck, and slowly rubbed it. In fact, if he could, he would still like to go outside and have a look. In the provincial capital, it was much more prosperous than in the village. Things that have never been touched.

For example, at any time, he can go to the cinema to watch a movie, watch a drama, go for a walk in the park, or look at flowers, although he doesn’t think there is anything to see in those, and going to the zoo to see animals is something he couldn’t do in that small isolated village before. What I have experienced and come into contact with is now here.

And they also have some money at home, enough for their family to live.

He came here to go to school and had pocket money.

Never before.

It’s just that his parents strictly control his expenses, and all the food, clothing, housing, and transportation are done at home, which leads to the poor pocket money at his disposal.

After high school, he wanted to try something more open.

Thinking of his aunt, he couldn’t admire it.

Aunt and his mother stand together like a generation apart, the gap is too obvious.

Her business in the D.C. is much bigger than her father’s, and it is thanks to her aunt that their family has achieved this success.

If Dad wants, he can go to his aunt and see if she has any work for him. He can bear hardships, and he wants to walk around.

His parents won’t worry if he is alone, and he will be fine with his aunt’s people, right?

He also wanted to go out and see, whether it was the nearest Hong Kong or the other side of the ocean.

It is that parents may disagree, and he has to find a way to convince them.

When I think of my aunt, I think of Zhang Fenghua who helped him make up lessons, and Zhou Xiaodong last time on Tuesday.

They all already have a stable future. Speaking of the future, he thought about it a lot, but he still felt confused.

I don’t know if he will be able to become a person who gets a thumbs up like his aunt one day.

Su Shiwei took out the scratch paper, lowered his head, and began to write and draw on it with a pen, outlining the clothes and figure of his aunt last time we met.

He remembered that when he was a child, his aunt was just like other people’s aunts. There was nothing special. Every time he came, his grandmother would be happy. , or send food.

He outlines his aunt’s short hair and slender figure. Was this aunt before?

He tried hard to recall that hair and clothes are not counted. Just looking at other things, aunt does not seem to have changed much. Years really treat her very favorably, like the darling of time.

There is also aunt’s enthusiasm for learning. At the beginning, her education was in elementary school, but she taught herself all the way until she graduated from high school. Now she is still reading. Even if her aunt did not go to college, it should be almost the same.

Thinking of this, he picked up the half-solved problem again.

Aunt now has this achievement and is still learning. He is still so young, after all, he can’t give up easily.

There is still time, even if it doesn’t work if you work hard, you won’t regret it when you think about it later

Su An looked at the fruit plate in front of her with some boredom, but she couldn’t see it on the face.

Opposite her, Pan Jiaye and Wang Haiwen were talking about their children’s education.

Wang Haiwen’s child is still young, going to primary school, Pan Jiaye’s oldest is already in junior high school.

Seeing that he is about to go to school, he is now hesitating whether to send his child to Hong Kong, and is learning from Wang Haiwen.

Hong Kong is close, he can take care of anything, but other places are too far away, separated by an ocean, he doesn’t think about it now.

Speaking of which, Su An’s children are the oldest, and she doesn’t need to worry about their studies.

One is in the army, one is in the system, one is in graduate school, and the other is studying in the most developed countries.

In the situation of her family, whether it is Pan Jiaye or Wang Haiwen, they are all envious. With this foundation, as long as the child does not take a fork in the road in the future, he will not have to worry about it for the rest of his life.

Wang Haiwen agrees with him thinking about sending his children to school in Hong Kong.

“You may not like to hear what I say, but this is the reality now. In many places in China, you can’t keep up with the outside world, and you don’t need to worry about studying abroad now.”

Now some developed places have set off a wave of going abroad. Zhang Dingguo went abroad through the school’s public school. If there is no way to meet this condition, they apply to go abroad at their own expense.

In terms of economy, Pan Jiaye has no problem bearing the child’s tuition and living expenses. What he has to consider is whether the child can adapt to life there, will he get used to it, whether he can make friends or will he be excluded?

Speaking of the question of exclusion, Su Hui nodded, “It’s fine in Hong Kong, but abroad, it’s not uncommon for people with different skin colors to be excluded.” What she said was based on Zhang Dingguo, who went to a Caucasian In the leading country, he encountered a lot of discrimination when studying there. Although the letter he sent back didn’t say anything in this regard, he only wrote what he learned and how he was with his friends. It was some words that reported good news but not bad news, but the friends he mentioned were all studying abroad together in China. So far, none of the foreign friends who appeared in his letter.

Just like Chen Xinyun, he looks down on mainlanders, and in more developed places, he looks down on students from underdeveloped worlds who are so different from his own appearance, which is not unimaginable.

They may not put discrimination on the bright side, but in getting along with each other in life, doing a little hand and foot is enough to make them suffer. This suffering can only be conquered by themselves. Su An can give Zhang Dingguo his , that is, there is no need to worry about the cost of studying abroad, plus they are sent abroad to study abroad, and they also have their own expenses reimbursed. In fact, it doesn’t cost much. As long as they don’t buy anything, they can eat it themselves, which is not a big problem.

There is no doubt that a lot of technology and knowledge there surpasses domestic ones, so they will study abroad and want to learn knowledge from here.

Some people have been blinded and don’t want to go back to China.

But there are also a group of people. The more prosperous the outside world is, the more they want to study and return to China sooner. They are already behind. They have to speed up their pace to catch up sooner.

The world here is very prosperous, but there is only one motherland, the land that nurtured them, and now they are needed.

“They have to walk their own way after all.”

Hearing Su Hui’s words, Pan Jiaye sighed, “It’s not that I don’t understand the truth, but I just can’t rest assured. I can’t be as free and easy as you.”

Hearing Pan Jiaye’s words, Wang Haiwen nodded in agreement, “You have a high degree of freedom with your children, and I admit that I can’t do it.” Her face was helpless, “I sometimes want to put them in the future. The road of a lifetime is paved, so that they can have a smooth and smooth life in this life.”

“You can’t do it, we will go ahead of them after all.” Pan Jiaye also sighed.

When Su An heard this, she smiled without saying a word.

This doesn’t include her, but she won’t live that long in this world.

Pan Jiaye made up his mind, “Okay, then I’ll send my child to study abroad, and the market will last a long time. I’ll leave it to you this time.”

Wang Haiwen nodded, “Don’t worry, I’ll help you with the procedures. Now that the procedures are completed, the child will be able to pass after the child’s junior high school graduation.” After talking about the child’s scripture, she and Pan Jiaye looked at each other and looked at Su An, a little hesitant to say anything. “I have something to remind you, that Fang Kun, do you know about him?”

A wealthy businessman from Hong Kong came to the mainland to form another family. She knows a lot. Even if she is a woman, she has heard some words more or less. This time Fang Kun’s matter is not too out of the ordinary. , but the problem is that his object was actually Su An’s previous concubine, and if you count the time, during that time, when they were together, she was still Su An’s concubine before she got divorced.

Pan Jiaye’s face was also a little embarrassed, because he also knew about this, or it was not a secret at all. A competitor of Fang Kun discovered it, and then it was publicized. Everyone knows that one of their special zone’s Bing Tilian , her sister-in-law became Fang Kun’s second room, and now she is pregnant with a child.

“Now that it’s spread, some people may say something or not in front of you.”

When they do business, there are some good friends and some competitors, such as Pan Jiaye and the others who bought this factory, and they have been having trouble finding them.

There will be waves even without wind, let alone now.

Even if they can’t do anything, they should disgust Su Hui, Pan Jiaye and the others. Now the other party will definitely not let them go. If they want to ridicule them, they will speed up the spread and make Su Hui a joke.

They disliked Pan Jiaye, and they disliked Su Hui. They believed that if the factory hadn’t been taken over by them, they would be able to make money every day.

They remind Su An now, for fear that she won’t know, and she will be caught off guard when she hears it from someone else’s mouth.
