On the fourth and fifth day of the lunar month, Yang Liufang went to trouble the designer non-stop about the house and visited the secretary of Liunan Village. In recent years, the economy of his hometown Yangshi Town has developed rapidly with the rise of low-voltage electrical appliances and leather products. In Yang Liufang's opinion, it is wealthier than many big cities he has visited. Even in rural areas, every household has undertaken many low-voltage electrical appliance assembly and leather product subcontracting projects in the town. Yang’s mother told Liu Fang that a few years ago she and other women in the village made packaging for a leather shoe factory in the town, and the manufacturer came to deliver the goods. It costs 10 cents to pick up the goods and package a pair of shoes, and I earned more than 1,000 yuan without leaving home.
The rapid economic development has made the villagers' wallets bulge, and it is inevitable to build new houses. It is a tradition in the bones of the Chinese people to rule the country and bring peace to the world. This has made land a scarce resource, not to mention homestead land for construction, which is even more difficult to find. According to my father, the concept of "urban-rural integration" has become increasingly popular in the past two years, and the land in the town is even more difficult to find. A rising tide lifts all boats, and many bosses who have already developed in the early stage have turned their attention to rural construction land. For example, Yongtai Electric, which originated in their town and had custom-made wooden shipping boxes for Yang Liufang when he was an apprentice, is now nationally renowned. It bought the ancestral home of his master Liu Gen's family, and now it doesn't consider selling it no matter how much it spends to repurchase it. Because land for construction has become important, demolition requires large amounts of compensation, and the approval procedures for building a house have become more and more stringent.
During the Chinese New Year, the village committee secretary’s house was also bustling with people. Mother Yang unloaded the leg of half a sheep that Liu Fang brought back from Xizhou. When Yang Liufang came back from Wenzhou City, he brought back a box of Ningbo Daqu. On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Early in the morning, after welcoming the God of Wealth with his parents and elder brother at home, he went with Li Tongfu to pay New Year greetings to the secretary with gifts.
"Uncle Liu Fu, happy New Year. My godbrother and I are here to wish you a happy New Year."
"Oh, Al Fang, come right over. What else do you bring? Come and sit down. Sit down." The secretary asked the two brothers to go into the living room and sit on the sofa, and the old secretary made tea for them.
"I heard that you are doing Dafa in Xizhou?"
"No, Secretary, it's all rumors. There are two small factories. They established an industrial and trading company with the state-owned Xizhou Aluminum Factory, and then rented a sales department of the supply and marketing cooperative."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, this is not big. I think you are considered the number one person in our town."
"Uncle Fu, thank you. We are like little shrimps compared to the bosses in the town. Uncle, I came here today mainly to wish you a happy new year, and then I want to apply for renovation of my ancestral home. Look, my ancestral home was built the year I was born. Yes, it rains every time there is a typhoon. My parents are old, and my master and wife sold their ancestral home for me. Now my junior sister goes to Zhejiang University to study. The old couple also rent a house in Wenzhou. I think Renovate the house and invite them to come back to live there, so that I can feel at ease outside.”
"Well, A Fang, you are commendable for your filial piety. Honoring your parents and master and wife is a good thing, and I should support it, but you know that our urban-rural integration policy has been proposed for two years, and it is difficult to get approval for building a house."
"Yes, that's why I asked Uncle Fu for help. Our family builds a house on our own homestead to live in, and we don't rent it to the bosses in the town. Please see how we can coordinate it."
"Well, it's difficult to handle, but I do have an idea about this matter. Can you take a look?
"Uncle Fu, what's your idea? Please tell me."
"In the spring of this year, I want to repair the sewers in our village. The town will definitely support part of it. I want to build a small square in the village for the elderly to exercise. For the sake of the elders in my hometown, you big bosses Can you consider donating a portion of the money, and you take the lead, so that no one can say anything if your house is renovated?"
"Oh, Secretary, you should donate some money for the health of the elders in your hometown. I very much agree with you when you talk about building small squares in the village. Yesterday I went to visit Mr. Liu of Wenzhou Furniture City. His home is in a community beside the Oujiang River. There is an activity square for the elderly, parking spaces, pedestrian trails, etc., and the greening is also well done.”
"Tell me Oujiang Garden. I also wanted to renovate the village after looking there. The town will definitely give some subsidies, but if I want to do it well and make the villagers like it, it's still a drop in the bucket. That's why I thought of asking you big bosses to give it a drop in the bucket. Donate a portion.”
"Secretary, I am different from other people who have made a fortune. I went to a remote rural area in the northwest. Both factories are in the village. The supply and marketing cooperative is rented. I am also a small shareholder in the aluminum factory. But I will try my best to donate. You How much is appropriate?”
"Without showing sincerity, it won't stop everyone from making irresponsible remarks. How about fifty thousand?" Yang Liufang felt relieved upon hearing this. It was lower than he expected. He glanced at his elder brother and quietly made a six sign on the armrest of the sofa. Li Tongfu understood instantly and answered randomly:
"Uncle Fu, you worry too much about our family. Fifty thousand doesn't sound good. Since we are taking the lead, we will choose an auspicious number. We will donate 66,000. As the saying goes, six or six will go well!"
"Okay, it's because you young people are angry. I'll take note of it. Later, give me the drawings and architectural styles of the house, and I'll go through the procedures for approval."
"Uncle, we will return to Xizhou tomorrow. We will build the house in Oujiang Garden as you mentioned. General Liu will give the building drawings and facade renderings to my master and wait for him to send them back to you. Donate money. Please give me an account number, and I will arrange for the finance to go to the post office to remit it to you when I arrive."
"Why are you in such a hurry? Why don't you stay at home for a few more days to spend time with your parents?"
"Uncle, the boss of the factory and the supply and marketing cooperative's fleet in Xizhou is getting married. They were supposed to do it during the Spring Festival, but in order to wait for A Fang to witness the marriage, they have been putting it off until now. Now it is scheduled for the eighth day of the lunar month. It will take three days for us to drive back. God, it’s just right to hurry up and take your time tomorrow.”
"Oh, business is important, business is important."
Yang Liufang and Li Tongfu set out from home early on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year. After returning from the secretary's house, Liu Fang asked his father not to worry about anything. He only needs to boil water and make tea for the workers who are building the house. The secretary will help with the formalities, the style of the house and the construction process. The master will guide and the building materials will be distributed uniformly in Wenzhou City. Father Yang and Mother Yang were very satisfied when they heard their son's clear arrangements, but they felt a little helpless that they couldn't spend more time with them at home. After all, things were waiting for them in Xizhou.
On the way back, the two of them alternated driving. Every time they passed a big city, they would feel the congestion. It seemed that the reform and opening up had achieved initial results. The domestic economy had been greatly improved. More and more people were buying cars, and many people were driving home to celebrate the New Year. exist.
It was already eight o'clock in the morning on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year when we rotated all the way into Xizhou. It was still four hours away from the Xizhou Hanwangchuan Leather Products Factory where Zhang Feng held his wedding. It was already 11:00 when we passed the supply and marketing cooperative. Yinhua, who was on duty with four porters inside, saw the two people who were tired of work and urged them to go quickly. Zhang Feng called the supply and marketing cooperative almost every five minutes. It was almost a blast and the guests gathered in the tannery and couldn’t wait.
The two heard that they had no time to tidy up and change clothes, so they hurriedly drove there and finally arrived at the tannery on time at 12:00. As soon as they entered, the sound of worship firecrackers crackled at the entrance of the cafeteria. Qin Jiajun, who was helping entertain the guests at the door, hurriedly greeted them as soon as he saw the two coming out of the car. Seeing Yang Liufang's disheveled hair while sleeping in the car, it was too late for him to go back to the dormitory to tidy it up, so he had to spread his fingers and straighten it randomly before going in to the stage to witness the marriage.
Yang Liufang stood on the wedding stage and saw that the cafeteria was full of guests, including those from Hongtu Village and Wangqingchuan, as well as comrades from Xizhou Qin Jiajun and Zhang Feng, from the supply and marketing cooperative, and from Shige Village. There were ten tables in the hall. Because Zhang Feng had arranged a dowry for Yinhua, and Yang Liufang was now a celebrity in Xizhou, the secretaries of Wangshawan and Hongtuzhuang villages were also invited to sit down. Yang Liufang witnessed the marriage of the two newlyweds on the stage, and went down to sit with the secretaries. Accompanied by Secretary Hongtuzhuang Wang, the secretaries of several villages sat together and chatted about Yang Liufang.
Li Tongfu walked up to Yang Liufang at the right time, stuffed a big red envelope for him, and said quietly: "Yanhua prepared this, don't forget to take it out when the newlyweds come to toast later." Then he turned around and toasted to the secretaries. After a while, Zhang Feng and Wang Xinye, who had finished changing into red auspicious clothes, also came to toast. Yang Liufang drank the wedding wine they filled and presented a big red envelope.
Li Tongfu and Qin Jiajun accompanied Zhang Feng's comrades. When the newlyweds came to toast, Li Tongfu also took out a red envelope, saying that it was a "Happiness Brand" motorcycle awarded to them by the supply and marketing cooperative, and wished them a happy marriage and a happy family. These retired comrades were in the transportation team when they were in the army. Seeing that Li Tongfu and his friends had such good benefits, some of them pestered Qin Jiajun to join the transportation team of supply and marketing cooperatives and factories. Li Tongfu pointed out that factories and supply and marketing cooperatives had limited vehicles, and these generous veterans immediately decided to join in even if they bought their own cars. In this way, the transportation team expanded to 10 vehicles and 10 drivers through Zhang Feng's wedding. Qin Jiajun regretted not asking Yang Liufang for more porters.
Zhang Feng's wedding did not end until four o'clock in the afternoon. Yang Liufang left the wedding early and went back to the dormitory to rest because he was too drunk. He now has dormitories in a furniture factory and a leather factory. After getting up and washing up, he walked around the factory area for a while. Currently, most of the newly recruited workers who are undergoing training are from Hongtu Village and Wangqingchuan, because Xinye's natal family is from Wangqingchuan. So most of them came to attend their wedding, and the factory also had a day off. With fewer people, the factory area seemed empty, and Yang Liufang always felt like something was missing. After thinking about it, I realized that it was greening. Compared with the mattress factory in the industrial park I visited in Nanjing, there were only the willow trees planted last year on the main road entering the factory and on the main road in the factory area. After being invaded by sandstorms, these willow trees looked like Also disgraced. Because of this, the newly built factory area looks a bit dilapidated.
"Plant another 10,000 willow trees in the factory area." Yang Liufang said to himself, walking on the main road in the factory area with his hands behind his back.
