Chapter 002 Yongquan Village(2/2)
"Are you really going to come back?" At this time, both Ma Huashui and the old party secretary looked at Wang Zhong in surprise.
"In this place, we have to eat and drink. We live on the relief food distributed by the government all year round. The conditions are very difficult. You are just staying outside Lanwai. What are you doing back here?"
The old branch secretary hates the fact that iron cannot become steel.
Wang Chong smiled and said: "No matter how nice it is outside, it's not as good as home!"
"Besides, these days are made by people. I am young and strong, and I don't have to worry about whether I can support myself. Now our country's economy is getting better and better, and the future will definitely get better and better!"
"I have said something, please don't laugh at me!"
"If you have anything to say, just say it!" the old party secretary said quickly.
Wang Zhongdao: "Although I am young and don't have much ability, our old Wang family can be considered a member of Yongquan Village and have received kindness from the villagers. I think if I can do something for our Yongquan Village,
Do your best, and even if you are in trouble in the future, when you see my father and my father, you can straighten your back and tell them that I have not disgraced them."
The old branch secretary looked at Wang Zhong and sighed, but with a smile on his face, he looked at Wang Zhong with relief: "As expected of the grandson of Brother Yongfu, he has a temperament just like him!"
"Old man, my name is Uncle Shui, what do you think about this matter of receiving the certificate?"
"Don't worry, your uncle Shui is now the acting village director of our Yongquan Village. Once he receives the certificate, he can do anything about it." The old party secretary was very relieved, and his old face was filled with a happy smile.
said.
"After dinner later, I will go to the village committee to issue a certificate for you. After you have completed your household registration, the old branch secretary and I will introduce you to the fellow villagers. Do you think you will be successful?"
"Hit! Why not! This is the best!"
"But there's something I have to tell you first. After your great-grandfather and great-grandmother left, the house was empty. At that time, people in the village thought that your family had no one, and later it was taken over by the government. You
The land for the house is the same. It was taken back to the collective. Later, when the household quota system was implemented, it was re-divided. If you want to get it back, it is probably impossible. We can only divide it for you from the collective land.
piece."
"I understand this, understand it, and I can accept it!" Wang Zhong smiled happily.
"Those are all wastelands that no one has cultivated!" the old party secretary reminded.
"Baby, you may not be clear because you just came back." Ma Huashui was afraid that Wang Zhong wouldn't understand the meaning of the wasteland and quickly explained: "We in Yongquan Village have had household quotas for several years. Those slightly better lands have long been taken over.
After the land reclamation is completed, it is assigned to each family. Although there is a lot of collective land in the village, it is basically all barren sandy land. It is impossible to grow crops without a few years of hard work."
"Uncle, old man, you two can rest assured. Although I, Wang Zhong, don't have any great skills, I still have a few skills. It will not be a problem to support myself."

"If I didn't have this ability, I wouldn't dare to come back! Just watch it, you two!"
"It's easy to talk about a homestead!" Ma shouted, "But there aren't any vacant houses in the village now."
"What's the matter? Let Xiao Zhong live in my house first. I happen to be the only one at home. When Xiao Chong comes, I can still have a companion!"
"Old man, then I will bother you for a while." Wang Chong said with a smile.
"What are you talking about?" the old man said deliberately with a straight face.
Several people had smiles on their faces.
Ma Huashui smiled and greeted the two of them: "Okay, okay, hurry up and eat. We have been busy all day, and we must be hungry."
The next day, Wang Zhong took Ma Huanshui's acceptance certificate and ran to the county early in the morning under the leadership of Ma Huanshui to settle the household registration matter.
After leaving the police station gate, Wang Zhong treated Ma Huanshui to a meal at a restaurant in the county.
Looking at the table full of a large plate of mutton stew, as well as pancakes, noodles, spicy food, and Ma Huanshui, I couldn't believe my eyes.
"Xiao Chong, aren't you being too extravagant? You can't survive this day!"
Wang Zhongdao: "Uncle! In the past two days, you have been very busy and worried about my affairs. This meal should be treated as a tribute to me as a junior."
The aroma of mutton hit his nostrils, and Ma Huanshui's stomach growled unsatisfactorily, and he swallowed subconsciously.
When Wang Zhong saw this, he didn't find it funny. In the eyes of Ma Huanshui, who ate potatoes three times a day, such a large plate of mutton might not be enough to eat even during the Chinese New Year. But Ma Huanshui's first reaction was that he really blamed himself for being extravagant.
waste.
"Uncle! Don't just look at it, eat quickly. I have something else to trouble you after you finish eating!"
"What's the matter?" Ma Huashui looked at Wang Zhong: "You speak first, and then eat after you finish speaking."
"Okay!" Wang Zhong said: "Uncle, I came here this time. I was in a hurry and didn't bring everything with me. There are still a lot of belongings over there, so I have to go back first and collect the things over there.
Once the matter is settled, I estimate it will take about a week or two before we come back, but I can't say the exact time."
Although Ma Huashui was a little surprised, he understood very well: "Then what can I help you with?"
Wang Zhongdao: "The old party secretary is really kind to me, but I can't live in his house forever. I thought, could you please help me deal with the homestead matter first, and then go to the village to find some people and dig it out now?"
Come out with some soil, dry out more adobe bricks, and when I come back from Yanjing, I will start building a house immediately. As for the wages, two yuan per person per day, do you think so?"
It's only 1989 this time, and even the average salary of workers in the city is only 80 or 90. There are still about two years left in 1991 when the plot begins. Wang Zhong cannot always live in the old party secretary's house.
To be honest, the girl Shuihua is very suitable for Wang Zhong in terms of appearance, figure and character. If he wants to marry Li Shuihua, a house is definitely indispensable.
"Two yuan a day?" Ma Huashui's eyes widened: "That's too much. If you convert it to a month, isn't that sixty yuan?"
"They are all from the village. Anyway, it is not the busy time for farming. If you can help, please help. How much money do you need!"
Wang Zhong hurriedly shook his head: "How can this be done? It's not easy for the villagers, so how can we let their help be in vain! No, no, no!"
Wang Zhong didn't even bother to take advantage of this.
Ma Huashui saw Wang Zhong's resolute look, thought for a while, and said, "Well, if you really have this intention, you can just provide two meals a day! Don't mention the wages."
Wang Zhong thought for a while, counted ten brand-new hundred-yuan bills from his pocket, which were just introduced last year, and handed them to Ma Huanshui.
"What are you doing?" Ma Huashui immediately frowned and stared at Wang Zhong.
"Uncle Shui, don't get me wrong. You are the village director of Yongquan Village. You must be a capable person. I'm a newbie here. I'm not familiar with the place. I'm blind to everything I do. Where's the money? Please help me."
First, I need to find some good wood, and arrange white flour steamed buns and stew mutton for the villagers every day, which is also a little bit of my appreciation."
"It doesn't cost so much money!" Ma Huashui didn't dare to take the money from Wang Zhong, "Two meals a day, even if you eat meat and dry food, you won't spend so much. As for wood, you can't
How much wood can be used for a house, but not this much."
"Then what do you think is appropriate?" Wang Zhong shook his head. If this happened in the future, who would be eager to put the money in his pocket right away.
There are not many simple people like Ma Huishui, but there are not many of them anymore.
Ma Huashui thought for a while and then said: "Two hundred yuan is enough! I guess there is still a lot left."
Wang Zhong took out three cards and put the rest back into his pocket: "In this case, you will take three hundred first. When I come back, you can give back more and make up less. Do you think so?"
Ma Huashui gritted his teeth and finally reached out and took the money.
A smile appeared on Wang Zhong's face, he picked up the chopsticks and handed it to Ma Shui for water: "Uncle, this mutton has to be eaten while it's hot to make it taste better."
Ma Huanshui looked at Wang Zhong and shook his head helplessly.
After dinner, the two of them parted ways, and Wang Zhong got on the train and went straight to Yanjing.
Still using the old method, I went to Yanjin and Yanjing to exchange two pairs of jade bracelets in the space for 180,000 yuan. It's not that Lanzhou and Haiji couldn't exchange, but it's not the same as before. Only in Yanjing, Wang Zhong's
Two pairs of jade bracelets can be exchanged for a suitable price. In comparison, the fare and time of the round trip are nothing.
With this 180,000 yuan, plus the inheritance and retirement pension from the system-arranged status, the total amount was more than 3,000 yuan, Wang Zhong took the train back to Haiji County with a huge sum of money in his pocket.
This time and again, plus the time spent in Yanjing, a full ten days passed like this.
Wang Zhong bought a permanent brand bicycle in the county, with 28 large bars, durable and of good quality. He rode the bicycle and bought new bed sheets and quilt covers, a washbasin, a toothbrush and other daily necessities, a front bar and a back seat.
On top, there are large and small bags of things tied up.
I rode my bicycle all the way out of the county town, walked on the loess road, and headed straight for Yongquan Village.
As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the village, Wang Zhong saw a familiar figure wearing a turban and carrying a basket on his back with a bundle of small tree branches on his back.
"Splash Girl?"
When Shui Hua heard the sound, she turned around and looked back, just in time to see Wang Zhong getting off the bicycle and pushing the cart up: "It's you!"
"It's me!" Wang Zhong said with a smile, "I'm collecting firewood!"
Shui Hua also grinned and said, "Well! So you are also from our Yongquan Village!"
"Yes! But last time was the first time I returned to Yongquan Village."
"I heard that Uncle Shui said that you went back to Lanzhou to do some work. Is the work done?"
"It's done!" Wang Zhong said: "The things over there have been taken care of. I won't leave when I come back this time, and will take root in our Yongquan Village!"
