Chapter 4 Going to the Cloud

"Lao Liu Chi, why are you carrying a thermos?"

"I saw you pour water for those truck drivers, aren't you the ones who collect money?"

"How much did the sixth child earn?"

On the way home, Lu Ye also met many acquaintances who were busy in the fields, most of whom were in their thirties and forties.

There is not nothing to do in the fields in the winter. Now the most common thing I do is to weed rape and fertilize rapeseed.

This rapeseed is not the kind of edible green vegetables, but the rapeseed flowers bloom and are full of yellow in spring. When the seeds are born in spring and summer, they are rapeseed and produce rapeseed oil.

As for being called "Lao Liu Child", it is also very simple, it is Lao Liu Child.

His father Lu Huoxing's nickname is Lao Liu. Lu Ye didn't know how he came from it. He probably guessed that his surname was Lu. In his local dialect, he was somewhat similar to Liu. He was called up to such an old age since he was a child.

"There was a driver who gave me two cents."

When Lu Ye heard someone's answer, he would respond loudly, with a pretended smug smile on his face.

"This kid is so amazing. He is too big and knows how to make money."

When most people hear Lu Ye’s answer, they will smile and praise a few words, but no one really takes the penny to their hearts.

Lu Ye also understood the psychology of the villagers at this time. As a result, most of the villagers who dig food in the fields did not realize the business opportunities and had not changed their mindset. If they just poured a cup of hot water, they could charge money?!

Er thought of it or noticed some hotels built in other places, but the village is one section away from the national highway.

Moreover, there have been few vehicles passing by in and out of rural areas. Only townships, gas stations and repair points are the places where many large trucks may choose to choose.

Another thing is that when you cannot know the income in detail, you go to set up a stall, especially to take the lead and bear the eyes of others. In fact, many people can not accept it in rural areas.

Not everyone can let go of things like dough. People are inertia and inertia.

Otherwise, there would be a widely circulated saying that people who sell breakfast outside a Taiwanese-funded factory bought several houses, but they worked in the city for many years but couldn't afford a square meter.

Even if there were some time in the later generations, there were still many people discussing the street stall economy, and fewer people would have put down their posture and do it, and even fewer people would have persisted.

Of course, if Lu Ye really wants to say that a kettle of boiling water earns nearly two yuan, he probably will have many people to think about when he goes back tonight.

Even now, Lu Ye can't guarantee that the acquaintances he met on the road would be more active and might think about them.

...

The village where Lu Ye is located is called Shangyun Village, and the specific place name is Peng Yan Chu.

Peng Yanchu originally meant two big families, namely Peng and Yan. Later, families with surnames such as Xu, Zhang, Lu, Tong, Lian, and Li moved in, which was considered to be the early disintegration of the clan.

This situation is quite common in northern Fujian, or in the entire Han x County.

The Han x County is at the junction of the three provinces. Since ancient times, it has been the first choice for merchants to move south to Fujian to avoid disasters. Therefore, although it is considered a Fujian area, most of the dialects that are popular in the north of the county town are Wu language.

In addition, Hanxun County is a rare granary center. Before the liberation, the situation was turbulent, and many people in the surrounding Zhejiang and Jiangxi provinces fled here.

For example, Lu Ye’s father should be in the generation of Emperor Gaozu and Great-Emperor, probably during the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, he fled here from Nanjing Wuhu and hid in a mountain village surrounded by mountains and a very high altitude to avoid disaster.

When his grandfather was young, he caught up with the liberation of the whole country and moved to Shangyun Village, which is now relatively gentle.

His mother's side is similar. His grandfather's father is a famous place for swords in Zhejiang Province. During the Republic of China, he fled to the desert and settled in Yangxin Town.

Lu Ye's grandmother was also from Zhejiang Province. After her death, her grandfather Xu Xian married the second grandmother from Gan Province.

Basically, before the founding of the People's Republic of China, Hanxun County was in a large influx of population. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, household registration restrictions were restricted, but they were still attractive to the surrounding areas.

In the 1990s, it began to lag behind the surrounding areas in all directions. Since the beginning of the new millennium, the population of the entire county town has almost no growth, and a large number of people have flowed out.

A few years before Lu Ye's rebirth, Hanx County was just a transformation from a national-level poverty-stricken county to a provincial-level key poverty alleviation county.

Due to historical reasons, in the era of large collectives, it was relatively simple to divide production teams in Peng Yan, one Peng and the other Yan.

After the household contract responsibility system was established in 1982, the production brigade was changed to a village committee, but each team was still retained.

The population of the two teams of Peng Yan basically lives in a mixed manner. The fields they divide are either adjacent to each other, or you have me and I have you, but they still belong to two production teams.

On the way back, Lu Ye met some village men who were busy in the rapeseed fields, including Peng Chu and Yan Chu.

The reason why we should talk about it separately is that the fields planted by households now are collective units based on small teams, which is collective ownership.

The total number of land and locations in the team remain unchanged, and each household divides the land according to the population. The good land planted is usually organized by the head of each household to draw lots by the end of the year. Lu Ye remembers that there are one year rotations and several years rotations, but he can't remember it clearly for a while.

Shangyun Village is a large village in Yangxin Town, with a population of about 2,000. There are a total of eight or nine production teams, and one team is about one or two hundred.

Lu Ye later studied management and remembered that he had mentioned the concept of "Dunbar Number", which is about a small group with less than 150 people, and can rely entirely on interpersonal relationships and naturally formed unspoken rules to operate in an orderly manner.

It was then that he realized that many common things actually have their own logic and truths.

For example, in the army, most soldiers in "company"-level units have the closest relationship.

...

Lu Ye thought about these things all the time, and before he knew it, he also arrived at home with an empty kettle.

The door of the house has been open, but my parents have not yet returned home.

In the rural areas of this era, there are neighbors and acquaintances around them. I dare not say that I don’t close my door at night or pick up my leave. But there is no one at home during the day, so it’s normal for the door to be open.

Lu Ye put the kettle back on and sat on the threshold at the doorstep of his house. He didn't know if he was thinking or dazed.

A child's body, with a soul in his thirties, lives in the countryside in the 1990s, and his life can only be so simple, unpretentious and boring.

"It's so cold, why are you sitting on the threshold?"

I don’t know how long it took, but Lu Ye, who was bored in front of the threshold, suddenly heard a kind and gentle voice from the side of the road.

"Mom, you're back!"
