Chapter 60: Keeping Peace Throughout the Year
"Xiao Ju's father and I were working, and we went back to the village to celebrate August 15th. At that time, every family in the village could only buy one pound of mooncakes, one pound of one pound, four yuan, which was not cheap. Some families were so poor that they couldn't afford to buy one pound, so they fry some peanuts and roll them down, add sugar and wrap them in a fire instead of mooncakes..."
Liu Zhi knew that before he married Qin Shihuang, the Qin family could not afford mooncakes for several years. Later, he bought a pound with his colleagues and neighbors, and then he could eat mooncakes. Now he not only had to eat them, but also had to be served with beer and a table of dishes.
As the saying goes, eating from the sea, the dishes on the table in the yard are naturally indispensable, including seafood, mackerel, yellow croaker, shrimp tiger, and crab...
September and October are the time for crabs to be plump. In addition, Lao Qinwan people also have the habit of eating roast chicken in the Mid-Autumn Festival. They not only eat roast chicken themselves, but also give it to the elderly. This roast chicken is cooked and smoked, and also has brown sugar...
"Come on, you have a good harvest." Liuzhi smiled and brought taro, sweet potato, peanut and corn to the table. In Qinwan, there is another name for this dish, called "Support you to death".
"Well, Dadong, you are busy, I have been unable to see you recently..." Du Yuan seemed to be worried while eating peanuts.
"What's wrong, brother?" Wu Geng handed over the cigarette and reunites all families during the Mid-Autumn Festival. This is a happy day. Logically speaking, Du Yuan had already cooked, so this is not what he looked like.
Du Yuan sighed and went into the room to take out a newspaper, "Look, the fool is in jail again..."
oh?
The name of a fool is well known to everyone in the country.
On September 25th of this year, the "fool" Nian Guangjiu was unable to escape the second prison.
This illiterate person who was ignorant of the big words and could not even read the account book was arrested and imprisoned for the crime of embezzlement and embezzlement of public funds, and the company "Silly Guazi" closed down.
Two years ago, this nationally famous "fool" jointly run a melon seed factory. He couldn't understand the standard accounts made according to the accounting system, so the finances in the company were naturally confused. He argued: "I know how much money I come in? Just go out as much money."
"Dadong? How do you manage your factory accounts?" Du Yuan asked with concern.
"The accountant in the village keeps the accounts for the time being." Qin Dong looked at the newspaper. He knew about the fool? It was the previous life? This was also an incident that caused a sensation across the country.
His case was delayed for two years, and it was finally determined that although his accounts were unclear, it did not constitute embezzlement or misappropriation. However, the court eventually sentenced him to two years in prison for hooliganism.
What’s interesting is that? In 1992, during a conversation on the southern tour, the great man suddenly talked about this "fool". More than a month later, Nian Guangjiu was acquitted and returned home.
"The situation is not good this year? I heard that some individual business owners have closed down, and there are still many." Wu Geng said.
The economic situation is not good, and the whole country is the same. Hope Group can hardly recruit one person. The chemical factory manager who spent 2,000 yuan to buy a spoonful of salt in Xiaoshan County, Zhejiang Province wanted to close his factory? The mayor was afraid of losing this big taxpayer, so he applied for a county model worker to him at the end of the year. This finally made him feel at ease.
"I am a model worker, provincial model worker?" Qin Dong smiled, "I won't make mistakes."
This year? China's enterprise reform has fallen into a "late spring cold".
Later, Li Shufu, who became famous for making cars, built a refrigerator factory called "Arctic Flower" in Taizhou at this time? Of course, it is a non-fixed factory without a birth certificate. Just as Hangzhou shouted at non-fixed refrigerator factories, he hurriedly donated the factory and then took a sum of money to study at a university in Shenzhen.
"Qin Dong, there will be nothing wrong with Factory 2 and Carton Factory, right?" Du Xiaoju stood behind Qin Dong at some point, with a worried look on his face. Liu Zhi and Xiaoju's mother also walked out of the kitchen.
"What can I do?" Qin Dong smiled, "I am a contractor in Factory 2 and pay profits to the factory every year, which is the same as Xiaogang Village."
As for the carton factory, "Yes, carton factory, what should I do?" This is the question Du Yuan is most concerned about. He heard Du Xiaoju mention that the carton factory is now "making money every day", but he can't take any risks.
"The carton factory is Yanjiadu carton factory, a collective enterprise." Qin Dong smiled. After his rebirth, he was not in a hurry to open his own factory. He did not want to repeat the same mistakes. He just opened a factory. The factory belongs to his own, and the name of the village collective is also in the name of the village collective.
"By the way, Dad, you reminded me," Qin Dong poured Du Yuan full of beer, "In this way, let Xiaoju take care of the carton factory accounts. In addition, Old Man Yan is a good Chinese person in the village, and someone has to be in charge of the situation. Dad, please take more care of me."
"Well, I leaned against Yanjiadu when I was off work." Du Yuan immediately agreed. He was the old policeman and had a bad temper. He controlled the carton factory, so the villagers did not dare to cheat and cheat.
"Then you have to pay your father-in-law another salary?" Wu Geng joked.
"No problem, my dad will be the factory director in the future." Qin Dong said formally.
"The factory manager can't talk, so we won't speak two people together." Du Yuan was naturally happy to see that he was favored.
Du Xiaoju looked at Qin Dong with a smile, and she felt even more happy.
Xiaoju's mother smiled and put a plate of shrimp tigers on the table. Now the girl is enjoying her happiness. The old man is taking her double salary. Well, this son-in-law, okay!...
The men were drinking, the women were eating vegetables, and before the wine was finished, Xiaoju's mother took Willow Branch, Xiaoju, Qin Nan and Wu Yue to worship the sky and the moon.
"The moon is full on August 15th, and the watermelon mooncakes are respectful to God, and God is happy to keep peace all year round."
Xiaoju's mother muttered: "Please protect my girl, and the girl and son-in-law will be safe all the way..."
...
Because Qin Nan did not return to the grassland when he was in school, the two of them wrote letters of introduction at their work and got their ID cards. On the second day of August 15th, they boarded the train to Hohhot.
Of course, their target was not Hohhot, but the Wulijitu Brigade of Yihe Gaole Commune, Aba Banner, Xilingol League, where the Qin family has lived for ten years.
Qin Dong originally wanted to take a plane, but Du Xiaoju had never even taken a train, so he changed his mind.
Throughout the 1980s and even the 1990s, in Qin Dong's memory, the fastest train was less than 100 kilometers per hour, and "difficulty in travel, slow in travel" was his biggest feeling.
So every time he went on a business trip in later generations, he chose the way of traveling on airplanes. He no longer wanted to recall the green train, or the mixed smell of toilet, instant noodles and feet.
Looking at Qin Wan away outside the window, he was very excited, and Du Xiaoju also looked yearning. Although this green train takes several days and nights to travel from Qin Wan to Hohhot, unlike the high-speed train in later generations, it only takes a few hours.
The two sat down in the soft bed, and Qin Dong looked at the green train coming towards him - thirty years later, it has become a memory of the times. At this time, those bad memories of the past were gradually fading.
The train window glass is gray, the surface of each carriage looks very worn, and the iron sheet around the carriage is rusty. It is summer, but the green carriage is covered with a thick layer of black kerosene.
