When Debao left Wang Zhong's house, his face was red.
In the evening, when Wang Zhong returned home, he naturally learned about Debao's visit today from Shui Hua's mouth.
"Are you really unable to accept the jobs in the town?" Shuihua asked doubtfully, "If Minning Village is to build a town, there will be a lot of jobs!"
"It's not that we can't accept it!" Wang Zhong said: "It's just that the payment is a little slow. In fact, it's hard to say. Now for other projects, the payment is not fast either."
"The civil engineering industry is good everywhere, and the profits are not low, but the speed of payment is really unflattering." Wang Zhong also felt this.
In the real world, Wang Zhong studied civil engineering, so he naturally knows the ropes. When he meets those who are easy to talk to, have good people, and have strong capital, the settlement will not be slow. As long as you are satisfied with the project, Once the acceptance is passed, the balance will be received soon.
What is really difficult is those projects with two guarantees and three guarantees. Party A has already settled the bill for the second guarantee, but the second guarantee is stuck and says that there is no money. With so much money, it would be great if he put it in the bank to earn interest and generate money every year. Come on, he can't pay for the project without having to pay interest. The interest he gets is all he earns. Why wouldn't he do such a good thing?
This is just one of them. After receiving the project funds, other projects were directly misappropriated to make up for their own holes first. As for other people, what does it have to do with them.
There are also countless examples of people running away with their sister-in-law and running away with money, or of wives and young beauties escaping with money. Although it is difficult to tell whether it is true or not, this kind of thing certainly does not happen out of thin air.
Therefore, in the engineering industry, the water is very deep and the risk factor is also high. If you want to avoid being led by others, you can only be the party A and the developer yourself.
"I've already planned it. If we don't want others to take advantage of our weaknesses, we have to be our own bosses."
"Being your own boss?" Shui Hua's eyes lit up and she looked at Wang Zhong doubtfully.
"That's what I'm going to do when I go back to the city." Wang Zhong said with a smile: "Our company has applied for various qualifications. As for the land, there will be a tender in the city soon. As for whether to participate In this tender, it all depends on how Debao chooses it.”
Now that the construction company has handed over all aspects to Debao, Wang Zhong doesn't want to get involved anymore. The young eagle will always spread its wings and fly into the sky on its own.
It was impossible for him to live under Wang Zhong's wings for the rest of his life.
After listening to Wang Zhong's words, Shui Hua nodded in agreement and said, "Since the company has been handed over to Debao, let him do it on his own."
Wang Chong said with a smile: "After working hard for so many years, whether it is a brick kiln or a construction company, Shanhai Farm Trade is basically on the right track. It's time for the two of us to take a good rest."
"That's right!" A smile suddenly appeared on Shui Hua's face: "De Bao will come to see you at noon today. I told him to ask his father to propose marriage to Principal Bai as soon as possible and marry Mai Miao as soon as possible."
"This is a good thing!" Wang Zhong was happy when he heard this: "This kid has been thinking about my wheat seedlings for many years. If you ask me, this matter should have been done a long time ago."
"If this kid and Mai Miao really get married, let's give them a big red envelope."
"You haven't even written your horoscope yet!" Shui Hua sighed.
"Why don't we just talk about it? Aren't they in love with each other?" Wang Zhong asked puzzledly.
Shui Hua said: "I'm not worried about Mai Miao and Principal Bai. I'm worried about Debao."
"Don't you still believe that his brother is blessed?"
Wang Zhong didn't have any grudges against Ma Defu, Shui Hua's childhood sweetheart. Now Shui Hua was his wife and she had given birth to twins. As for De Fu, that was a thing of the past.
If this was placed in the real world, Wang Zhong might not be able to rest assured, but things are different now, and Shui Hua is also different. Shui Hua is traditional and conservative, and deep down, he knows what steadfastness is. Wang Zhong has never forbade Shui Hua. Normal interactions with Ma Defu.
If this were put into reality and applied to some women in real society, it would be useless even if Wang Zhong guarded Ma Defu like a thief.
Fortunately, this is not the reality. The social atmosphere is not so open yet. Men and women still know what propriety means. Even though Debao and Mai Miao have been together for so many years, the most they can do is hold hands and even kiss. They have never been there before, let alone a more honest relationship.
"Then you are worrying too much. You have been lucky recently." Wang Zhong chuckled.
After hearing this, Shui Hua suddenly became interested: "What, Defu has already found a partner?" Her eyes shone, and she was very curious.
"Do you still remember that stationmaster Chen from the Chengguan Yangshui Station, who took the money but didn't waterproof it and fooled the villagers?" Wang Zhong asked.
Shui Hua nodded: "Remember, what does the object of blessing have to do with this?"
"Didn't Defu take Uncle Dayou and the others to the scene later to ask for an explanation from the big leaders of Qingtongxia? The leaders saw that he was well-founded in what he said and did, and he was willing to risk offending the leaders to stand up for the people, so they fell in love with him. , and introduced my daughter to him, I heard that the two of them have been in contact several times, and I heard that the girl has a good impression of Defu!"
"The daughter of a big leader?" Shui Hua clicked her tongue a little and became more and more curious: "How big of a leader is she?"
Wang Zhong said: "The second in command of Qingtongxia!"
"Hiss..." Shuihua was a little surprised, and then a smile appeared on his face: "Then Defu will not reach the sky in one step this time!"
"It's not like you can reach the sky in one step! But your official career will definitely be much smoother."
"Also, calling Uncle Shui is not that pedantic. Even if Defu doesn't have a partner, it won't affect Debao and Maimiao."
Wang Zhong knew Ma Huashui somewhat. Although he had not read many books or seen much of the world, he was more open-minded and competent than many parents in his heart. He also cared very much for his children. , there is no concept of favoring boys over girls.
If you don't talk about others, you are good at talking. I am still going to school in the county and I am about to graduate from junior high school. I usually live in school and come back every weekend.
The days passed like this. During the summer vacation of 1999, Principal Bai's elementary school welcomed a volunteer teacher from Fujian Province. He was a young man in his twenties and a top student in college. He said he had listened to Chen Jinshan After the lecture at their school, I learned about the situation in Yuquanying, and then specially applied to come to Yuquanying to be a support teacher.
Professor Ling and the others also left Wang Zhong's farm at the beginning of the year and went to other places to continue his previous research, hoping to use his Juncao to control the serious soil erosion problems in the Yellow River Basin and the Loess Plateau.
Wang Zhong and Shui Hua are relaxed. The construction company has already been on the right track. Now Debao leads a large force and has entered the market of Xingqing City. Wang Xiaoxing leads a small number of people and is still at Yuquanying Economic Development Zone. , working near the newly established Minning Town, taking on both big and small jobs.
Over at the kiln factory, now the general manager has become Shuihua. Shuihua is definitely not responsible for the daily work of the kiln factory. Shuihua is mainly responsible for the student funds in the kiln factory city.
As the business of the kiln factory has been getting better and better in recent years, and the profits have become higher and higher, the scale of the Shanhai Student Aid Fund has also become larger and larger. Even Principal Bai accepted Shuihua's invitation and became a Shanhai Student Aid Fund. The special consultant of the fund is responsible for student work.
Wang Zhong is relatively free. He has nothing to do every day, so he drives around, going back and forth to the farm, the kiln, and the Shanhai Farm Trade, checking the accounts, checking their work, and occasionally going to Xingqing City. Inside, look at the progress of Debao and the others.
But most of the time I have nothing to do. I just take care of my two sons at home, write and read books, and educate my two sons myself.
Debao did not disappoint the two of them. Not long after returning, Ma Huashui came to the house in person and invited an old party secretary with high prestige, whether in Yongquan Village or now Jintan Village, to help go to Mai Miao's house. Ask Principal Bai to propose marriage.
Without looking at any almanac, the two future in-laws, Principal Bai and Ma Huashui, sat together and discussed the meaning of the betrothal gift. Teacher Bai didn't ask for it at all, and the matter of the two children was settled. , the time is set on October 1st, a good day for the whole country to celebrate.
The two families have already begun to prepare for this. The location is at Debao's house. Naturally, it cannot be as simple as the last dinner at Wang Chong's house. Two door panels were removed and used as tables. They must set up a few tables to entertain both parties. Relatives, friends and fellow villagers came to congratulate.
Principal Bai originally said that because the student did not want to continue studying, the student's parents concealed their age and said that the baby, who was originally only fourteen or fifteen years old, was sixteen or seventeen. He went to the development zone office to register and sent the baby to work in Fujian Province to earn money. The irritable and depressed mood has also improved a lot because of the upcoming happy events of Mai Miao and Debao.
Speaking of the folks sending their children to work in Fujian Province, we have to mention it.
Chen Jinshan helped bridge the gap and established a labor export channel between the two places, which is indeed beneficial to both provinces.
There are workers in the factories in Fujian Province, and the bosses who open the factories can obtain more labor. And these young men and women from the Xihaigu area are hardworking and willing to learn. These young boys and girls have indeed learned from The factory made money, although the money was not much compared to the labor they paid, but it also depends on who you compare with and where you compare.
Naturally, it cannot be compared with coastal areas such as Fujian Province and first-tier cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. But compared with many inland poverty-stricken areas like Haiji and Xihaigu, it is not low at all.
After the children who went out to work earned money, the villagers were naturally eager to give away their children as soon as possible so that they could work earlier and earn money, thereby reducing the burden on their families and increasing their income.
Because of this incident, Teacher Bai often visited the children's homes. He talked kindly to the parents of the children and told them the importance of their children's study. He also gave examples of Defu and Wang Zhong.
Defu only went to technical secondary school, and his education is not very high. But now he is a cadre in the development zone, and he is also the village party secretary, holding the country's iron rice bowl. Wang Zhong is even more incredible. He went to university and served as a soldier. , the things that top students do are even more admirable.
The fact that Wang Zhong went to college was a trick that Wang Zhong himself gave to Teacher Bai. The villagers are very realistic and they are all people who don't let the eagle fly before they see the rabbit. If there is no living example in front of them, how could they possibly do it? When it comes to the education of their children, many parents are short-sighted and stubborn in their thinking, favoring sons over daughters.
And now in the entire Yuquanying Economic Development Zone, or even in the entire Xihaigu region, there is no one who is more worthy of being a living example than Wang Zhong.
On a weekend in mid-September, just a few weeks after school started, Principal Bai brought the new support teacher Guo Minhang over to see Wang Zhong and Shui Hua.
Wang Zhong was in the room, teaching two children how to practice calligraphy, when Principal Bai led Guo Minhang into the room.
"Wang Zhong, what are you doing at home?" Principal Bai walked to the study room in the east room and greeted Wang Zhong.
"Are you teaching calligraphy to two kids?" Wang Chong saw it was Principal Bai and the new support teacher, and a bright smile suddenly appeared on his face.
"Principal Bai, you are a rare visitor. If you are not busy with your wheat seedlings in the house, you still have time to come to my house to visit me!" Wang Chong smiled and joked with Principal Bai.
"What are you busy with?" Principal Bai glanced at Wang Zhong: "Hasn't your house water flower already helped buy everything that needs to be purchased?"
Mai Miao Niang left early, and Teacher Bai was from outside. She had no relatives in Yongquan Village, and her parents’ family had no relatives. However, Principal Bai had taught in Yongquan Village for so many years, so her subordinates didn’t know how to grow up. How many children, the folks in Yongquan Village have long regarded Teacher Bai as one of their own.
When Mai Miao got married, in addition to Shui Hua, Shui Wang's mother and Yang San's daughter-in-law all spontaneously ran to Mai Miao's house to help. All the arrangements that needed to be made and the things that needed to be explained were all done long ago. Now they are just waiting for the wedding to be held when the time comes. .
"This is Teacher Guo, the new teacher in our school." Principal Bai introduced Guo Minhang to Wang Zhong.
Guo Minhang stepped forward with excitement and stretched out his hand: "Hello, my name is Guo Minhang."
"Teacher Guo, hello, hello!" Wang Zhong had already stood up and shook hands with Guo Minhang.
"Hurry up and call someone!" The two dolls quickly stood up and greeted them: "Principal Bai, Teacher Guo."
"How good! This is peace and smoothness!"
"I am Ping An, I am brother!"
"I am Pingshun, my younger brother!"
The two brothers spoke very well, and Guo Minhang had a warm and sunny look on his face.
"Okay! Finish practicing calligraphy now. Dad will have a conversation with Principal Bai and Teacher Guo." Wang Zhong rubbed the heads of the two little guys. The two little guys sat at the desk, picked up pencils and continued to practice calligraphy.
"Mr. Wang, I think Ping An and Shun Shun are almost old enough to go to school. Why don't you send them to school?" Guo Minhang looked at the twins and asked curiously.
"They are only over five years old. If they are sent to school right now, wouldn't that be causing trouble to Teacher Bai? Besides, I happen to have time recently, so I can teach them myself every day."
"You're only five years old!" Guo Minhang was a little surprised when he looked at Pingshun, who looked like a seven or eight-year-old child. He was also half a head taller than his peers.
"Wang Zhong is a top student who studied at Yanda, and is a famous writer in China!" Teacher Bai hurriedly explained to Guo Minhang: "Besides, wasn't I the only teacher in our school before? If you are too young, I will also care. But don’t come!”
"But it's good that you're here now!" Principal Bai patted Guo Minhang on the shoulder and said happily.
