Chapter Sixteen Chinese New Year
,
spn "Crack~Pap...Crack..."
There was an evil beast in ancient times that came out to bite people at the end of the Lunar New Year. The miserable mortals finally invented firecrackers to deal with it. The rest of the month flew by and it was New Year's Eve again. [Search for the latest updates here]
Different from previous years, this year's Lishuping and even the entire Xiaoqingshan are filled with an atmosphere of joy. Everyone's face is less anxious and anxious when celebrating the "New Year's Eve" in previous years, and a little more silly.
Hehehe smile.
"Aunt Zhu, where are you going!"
"Hey, where's Aunt Li? You're also going to buy pork, right?"[
"Pork? What kind of pork?" Aunt Li, who has not known the taste of meat for a long time, put down the vegetable basket. Inside were the leaves of freshly picked late-season sweet potatoes. The old leaves were removed, and the young leaves of the vegetable stems were stir-fried with red pepper. But the poor people
A rare delicacy at home. As for pork, there was no sound of killing pigs in the entire Baligou, and the only piglets had already been taken to the city and sold.
Aunt Zhu looked stunned. She didn't expect that Aunt Li didn't even know such a big news. She hurriedly said: "Hey, look at my mouth, I didn't explain the matter clearly. Boss Zhang from Lishuping has mercy on him.
Anyone who has worked under him can go to Lishuping to get a portion of pork today. However, old people over sixty years old can also go. Boss Zhang is really a good person."
"Ah? Such a good thing! The big boss is really a nice person. They say he is from the God of Wealth." The instant joy made Aunt Li a little unbelievable. By coincidence, her boy was in Baligou.
As a worker in a mine, you can usually get an eye-catching salary back, but this time you can also get a share of pork?
"Auntie, go back quickly and show your work certificate. Let's go together. It takes more than an hour to walk back and forth. If we go late, we won't be able to share the pork. Don't leave behind those lean meats."
The same situation is also happening in other places in Xiaoqingshan. The Xiaoqingshan area with three to four thousand people is like firecrackers thrown away, and the New Year atmosphere is instantly detonated.
"Go to Lishuping to get the pork!" Their faces were full of spring breeze, which was the joy of those who met the conditions.
"Oh, I can only smell the fragrance this year. It's the beginning of the new year, so I have to try my luck. It would be great if I could find something to do." This is the envy and expectation of others.
Over the past six months, more and more people in Xiaoqingshan have come to work for Boss Zhang. The expanded phosphate fertilizer plant, two small iron mines, power stations, road construction engineering teams, clothing factories, machinery factories, joint defense teams...
Boss Zhang Shusheng from Lishuping was like a god descending from the sky using his magical powers, completely attracting thousands of people from Xiaoqingshan.
"Don't be anxious, everyone. Boss Zhang has prepared enough pork for everyone. They are all lined up. After checking the certificates, according to the time of employment and position, one or two will count as one or two, and there will be no less."
Today is a big day in Lishuping. The small village, which originally had only two to three hundred people, suddenly had nearly a thousand people from a ten-mile radius. Many people came with their families to receive pork and take it out to watch the fun.
A large desolate slope near the mountain was completely cleared and used as a slaughterhouse. The scene was as hot as it could be.
On the desolate slope, eight large pits were filled with blazing firewood. The pig-killing water was boiling. Ladles of scalding water were poured down. The big fat pigs were cut into white pieces, and then they were carried to the side of the meat rack.
Once hooked, the butchers cut the big fat pig into pieces in a dazzling way, as if showing off their knife skills.
There were eight big fat pigs being slaughtered at one time. The sound of killing pigs was so shocking that children covered their ears. This gesture made onlookers swallow their saliva.
"Tiedan'er, don't run around. There are so many people, be careful of being abducted." A young mother held her child's hand tightly, while standing on tiptoes and looking at the big scene of pig killing in front of her, her hands tightly
He kept a work certificate tightly and calculated in his mind how much meat he could receive.
"This boss is really generous. Old man, I have lived for seventy-five years. This is the first time I have encountered such a kind person and such a big scene." An old man with a goatee and white hair and beard was leaning on a cane, his face full of smiles.
Said redly.
"No, Boss Zhang is such a good person. Not only do we poor people like us, such as fertilizers, seeds, clothes, etc., can afford it, but there are also regulations on emergency relief, respecting the elderly and caring for the young. The children can go to school and have food to eat. He is such a good person.
.”
"Oh, it's a pity that my leg was injured. I recovered from the injury in the new year, and I have to run errands for Boss Zhang even if I risk my life."
"Yes, I heard that the joint defense team is also recruiting people. I don't know if the conditions are high or not."[
…
In the crowd, many people from all over the country knew each other, and they were all lamenting that this year's New Year's Eve was a great one, and the center of everyone's discussion was Boss Zhang, who had great hands and eyes.
The men all talk about how to start the new year. They already have people to work for, and they always want to do a better job and strive to get more wages and more meat.
However, the women, who have always loved to join in the fun, did not lag behind at all.
"Sister-in-law Wang, how much meat does your family have this time?" a young woman asked an acquaintance next to her in a funny way.
"Our family, Fugui, entered the factory late, and only weighed a little more than a pound." Although the person known as Wang's sister-in-law said this, she still felt sweet in her heart. She didn't ask for money to share the meat, so Fugui followed Zhang.
The boss was indeed right. "Sister Zhou, your guy joined the factory a long time ago. According to our family, he is still a backbone in the factory."
"What a backbone. He just learned how to use a generator... I don't know what it is. It doesn't have much meat, less than three kilograms."
At this moment, the people around me were all envious. Three pounds of meat is so irritating to me. I need to talk about that person in my family when I get back.
"Sister Laifeng, I heard that your eldest brother Luo Feng is the captain of the joint defense team. Why are you queuing up here? Your family must have two or three kilograms of meat this time." The country people's view, bring a long one or something.
People are just amazing.
Laifeng also carried a basket, which was slightly larger than the others. She originally remembered the instructions of the men in her family to keep a low profile and not to be public in everything, but she didn't expect that everyone around her would still mention her.
"No, not much... Lao Luo said that when working under Boss Zhang, there are no distinctions. No matter who you are, you have to queue up to get the meat." Laifeng said a little shyly, although he saw the envious eyes of everyone.
He was panicked, but in his heart he was proud of the man in his family. Although Luo Feng had a weird temper and was a bit cold-blooded, he had always been very kind to him. Now that he was the squad leader, he had never neglected him.
"Then there must be two or three kilograms of meat. Sister-in-law Wang's family has so much."
"Yes, come on, Sister Laifeng..."
Laifeng was so crowded that the country people were so honest that they could only mutter: "Ten, ten pounds..."
------------
Looking at the crowds of people in front of him, Sun Changqing smiled so hard that he couldn't close his mouth. He said to Zhang Shusheng who was watching quietly from the side: "Shusheng, it's your turn to go out and say something."
"Yes!" Zhang Shusheng nodded. The dozens of pigs he prepared half a year in advance, although the money was not much, are now being put to great use. He is not the savior, and these villagers are not his tenants. In fact, he can make them eat
Serving food, putting on clothes, and having a meal of meat during the Chinese New Year are my biggest wishes.
However, even if pork is not expensive for him and it is easy to raise it intensively, he cannot distribute it to every household for free. With only poor sympathy, not to mention lofty dreams, even Xiao Qingshan himself will never be able to get out.
.
Only when you compete with others and make the villagers feel real benefits and loss, and want to follow you, change their lives, and live a good life from the bottom of their hearts, can you build an iron-clad team and bring out a
Small green hills like iron barrels.
"Everyone, be quiet! Let's invite Zhang Shusheng, Boss Zhang, to speak." Sun Changqing stood on the stage that had been set up in advance, shouted loudly with a loudspeaker made of rolled iron sheets at the top of his lungs.
The scene miraculously became quiet, and more than a thousand people raised their feet, waiting to see the strange and incompetent boss Zhang in everyone's eyes.
Zhang Shusheng walked onto the stage, wearing a simple Chinese tunic suit. With his young and handsome appearance and outstanding temperament, he really calmed the audience. He took the iron trumpet and began to speak: [
"Fathers and fellow villagers, I am Zhang Shusheng. I am here today to wish you all an early New Year greeting. I wish you all good luck in the Year of the Dragon, the spirit of the Dragon and Horse, and good health in all seasons!
The people who can come to collect meat today, except for a few elderly people, are all brothers and sisters who work under me, Zhang Shusheng, and have given me Zhang Shusheng’s blood and sweat. You have worked hard for more than half a year. Here, I solemnly thank you all!
Everyone is having a hard time, and I, Zhang Shusheng, know all about it. Although I, Zhang Shusheng, am a businessman, here today, I dare to swear to God that I have you in my heart!
Poverty is terrible, and I, Zhang Shusheng, know this too. You may not understand why you are poor. But it doesn’t matter. I, Zhang Shusheng, a dignified seven-foot-tall man, am willing to help you escape from poverty, put on warm clothes, eat well, and use good things.
Seeds are good for fertilizers. Let the old people have something to support, the young people have nothing to learn, and the young and strong laborers have a way to make a living.
Although, due to various reasons, these things are far from enough, but here today, I, Zhang Shusheng, guarantee everyone that as long as you follow me, Zhang Shusheng, today next year will definitely be a happier and more prosperous Chinese New Year.
Now let me announce the big things to do at the beginning of the year: First, expand the school, hire more and better teachers, and build better schools. Second, expand the factory and open more factories and mines. Third, the joint defense team will be in
Enrollment will be expanded after the 15th day of the first lunar month, and aspiring men are welcome to sign up!
Now I announce: start collecting meat!
