Chapter 53 New Business
Zhou Guangcai still didn't go to the Chen family. His old face was so messy that he couldn't go out.
He and Yu Min had another fight. They didn't know who would win or lose. Anyway, in the end, his wife took her son out of the door and went back to her parents' home in the audience.
Yu Min's joke about serving his husband quickly spread in the town, and Zhou Guangcai became a joke among the people in the town. The Zhou family was too ungrateful and was really unethical to treat their life-saving benefactors like this. There were many people waiting to watch jokes around.
It’s nothing that the Zhou family is embarrassed, but it has implicated the leaders of the town to take the lead.
In ancient times, when an official was an official, he had an injustice case under his rule. The chief official would be held accountable. He would either have to be subject to a few years of investigation or his performance evaluation and the punishment was severe. To put it bluntly, if something happened, you would not be promoted. How could you make money without promotion? Who would become an official if you could not make money? Blocking people's money is like killing parents, and this grudge is not bad.
The top scholar in the city was a great joy, and the top scholar was widely reported for his bravery. This is definitely the result of local parents' education. All leaders on the education front are waiting to share the contribution. Who knew that the Zhou family's incident the next day and went to the provincial newspaper, which inevitably made some leaders feel disgusted.
The senior official level is to crush people to death. If the leader above is unhappy, the young leader below is naturally not happy. If the leader is unhappy, the culprit will naturally be unlucky. If the person at the beginning is unhappy, the culprit will naturally be unlucky. In the end, he will have to fall on the Zhou family.
If the Zhou family handles the beginning and end well this time, the matter may be left unresolved after all parties have explained it. However, if it is not handled well, it will cause public opinion to stir up trouble again. Some of the local parents and officials can vent their anger for the Chen family and share the worries of the city leaders.
Of course, it is not as strict as before. The Zhou family is not as punished for the ruthless and merciless behavior of the life-saving benefactor. As long as Chen Qiaoshan doesn't pursue it, no one wants to deal with him. After all, this is just a moral flaw and has nothing to do with the law.
The bad thing is that the Zhou family is not a good family. Everyone knows that the wholesale department makes money, but why can only the Zhou family run in the town? The brick kiln factory can make money very much, but why is it in the hands of the Zhou family? The twists and turns behind this cannot be hidden from those who are interested.
Zhou Guangcai is not a fool, on the contrary, he is still very smart. Otherwise, he would not have started as a butcher and had a wealthy family. However, smart people also have limitations. He doesn't know how strong the public opinion is. He is still dragging him here, thinking that it would not be too late to go to the Chen family to make a fuss in a few days, but unfortunately it was just his wishful thinking.
Chen Qiaoshan naturally knew nothing about what happened in the Zhou family, but he could foresee the current dilemma of the Zhou family. People need shame, trees need bark, and the Zhou family naturally felt embarrassed when things started, which could be regarded as a way to relieve his hatred.
It was July 1st in a blink of an eye. The weather was still clear and it didn't mean it was raining at all. The land at home had been watered for a while, but it could only be regarded as a drop in the bucket. Just after the watering, the corn and soybeans that were interplanted the next day wilted again, and Chen's father and mother had a little sad look on their faces.
The Chen family has not much land, two seasons a year. Although they can't make much money, the family is all about the chewy bits in the field. What can it do if this continues? Could it be that farmers buy rice and noodles? This is absolutely not feasible, and Chen Weiguo lost the work of the brick factory, and even if he is alone, he can't do this.
Chen Qiaoshan was not very worried. He had been thinking about finding a living for the Chen family these days. Looking at the dazzling sun outside the door, he gradually became calculating.
"Dad, why don't we go and learn to drive!"
Chen Weiguo was a little confused when he heard his son's words, "Why did you suddenly say this?"
"Why are you doing nothing at home? If you don't want to study, it's a profit at least!"
Tao Xiuying laughed and scolded: "You little brat, don't think it's all right. Your dad is almost an old man. Who can ask him to drive? It's useless to learn it!"
Chen Weiguo didn't say anything, but he obviously disagreed with Chen's mother's words. He is only 48 years old this year, and he is barely young and strong. He is said to be in his sixties, so he is certainly unhappy.
Chen Qiaoshan smiled and retorted: "Dad is not as old as you said. He is still young. Now he learns to drive and takes a certificate. Maybe we will buy a car and drive out for a ride when we go back?"
Chen's mother couldn't help but sigh: "Your father and I don't expect to buy a car in our life. We'll thank you for sending you brothers and sisters to graduate from college, and we still have to endure it!"
Chen Weiguo didn't say anything, but it seemed like Chen's mother's idea was similar.
Parents always think about their children, but never care about themselves. Chen Qiaoshan suddenly remembered his parents in his previous life, and felt a little sad. The parents in his two lives were so similar, and for a moment he was confused, which made him more eager to change the Chen family.
There are three missing elements in Henan Province. The scorching sun shines on a vast land, and there is nothing else. Natural resources really need nothing.
Although there is a big river flowing through the territory, most areas have very shortage of water resources. There are many places like the Chen family, and there is no water conservancy irrigation system nearby. Basically, they can only eat in the sky. If the drought is a little more serious, they will be helpless.
Chen Qiaoshan remembered that the irrigation of fields near the fields was completely groundwater. The wells were excavated manually. The deepest one was only ten meters long, and they could not pump much water at all. This drought situation could no longer meet the needs of irrigation.
Digging a deep well should be the wisest choice at present. Although there is no large water source nearby, there is still deep groundwater. He also knows that the drought in Henan Province will be very serious in the next few years, especially in the years around 2014, the drought caused several consecutive years, making the people suffer.
There is a market where there is a shortage of water in the countryside, so there will be no shortage of demand for deep wells. Drilling wells should be a profitable business.
Chen Qiaoshan wanted to encourage Chen Weiguo to work in the well digging industry, of course there are still many difficulties in it.
First of all, it is impossible to dig a deep well by hand, and a well drilling machine is indispensable, which is a considerable expense.
Secondly, you have to find a master who drills a well. It is definitely not possible to have a machine alone. You can’t rely on blind spots to find water veins. Otherwise, after drilling for a long time, it would be a waste of money. Without a master, the income from digging a well may not be enough to make it cost, so the joke will be huge.
You can't ask a geologist to dig wells in rural areas. At this time, you have to find an experienced master. Don't underestimate the wisdom of the people. Finding water veins is like metaphysics, but outsiders watch the excitement and experts look at the tricks. That is all the knowledge passed down by word of mouth among the people. This is also a craft. Although they may not be able to explain it clearly, they can just find water.
Compared with those tomb robbers and those who are professional in archaeology, they must be very amateur, but they are actually experienced and can surpass professionals by ten streets of dividing gold and deciding acupoints. In those large tombs excavated in modern times, there are very few people who have not been visited by tomb robbers, and most of them have been dug by tomb robbers and are full of holes.
