Rebirth of the Wild Age
~: Seventy-Four [Call Old Zheng to Act]
Chen Tao’s younger brother is Chen Shi, who is about to graduate from technical secondary school and plans to stay in school as a teacher.
It is almost impossible for a secondary school student to stay in school without sending money or looking for a relationship.
So Chen Tao took his younger brother to visit the principal's house two days before the Chinese New Year. He stuffed a huge sum of 5,000 yuan, which was really a huge sum. The principal had never confiscated so much before, and he praised Chen Shi in a friendly manner on the spot and said that good students like this must be given priority.
Then, Chen Tao stopped by to visit her aunt.
Her aunt used to be a farmer. Because she was so beautiful, she was fortunate enough to marry the lame in the city. She once crossed the farm gate to eat iron rice bowls, and replaced her father-in-law as a cotton mill worker.
When Chen Tao was in the cotton spinning factory, she was taken care of by her aunt, so she brought a lot of gifts this time.
When the two brothers and sisters arrived at the tube building in the factory, they met Chen Tao's former colleague. When those colleagues saw Chen Tao dressing up and acting generously, they were immediately envious, and quickly asked if it was easy to make money in the special zone.
Chen Tao didn't dare to tell the truth. After all, he used to be a scam. He only said that now he is working with a private boss and he must obtain a border pass to go to the special zone.
This matter is not over, it only took two or three days to spread the whole factory, saying that Chen Tao was a young lady in Shencheng.
Even the aunt with Chen Tao was pointed out when she went out. The aunt went back to her natal home to inquire about the situation, and the whole family knew that Chen Tao's cousin even spread the rumors throughout the village.
Chen Tao said on the phone: "Now my parents and brothers are afraid to go out. Last time I sent money back, it was more than 100,000 yuan. The people in the village know it, and now they all say it is my money. Are they selling so much? Why don’t they sell it!"
"Who made the rumor?" Song Weiyang asked.
Chen Tao said, "Sun Lin, the **** who deceived me to the deep city. He also went home during the Chinese New Year, probably because I was afraid that I would expose his old bottom and jump out to bite me. This is nothing, he was tricked into being a young lady by Sun Lin. Those female workers in, actually helped the bad guys this time, and one by one, it was spread everywhere that I didn’t work well in the deep city, and after only working for a few days, I went to sell money as a lady!"
"They are also afraid of revealing the situation, so they can only pour dirty water on you." Song Weiyang said.
Chen Tao said: "Brother Song, your brain is so good, you must help me this time, or our family will have to move out."
Chen Tao seemed to be really anxious, and actually called Song Weiyang "Big Brother Song", which was her exclusive name when she was in the special zone.
"Okay, wait for me, let's do a good show again," Song Weiyang thought for a while and said, "Yes, call Lao Zheng, the Duke was forced by him to drive home. ."
……
One day later.
Song Weiyang and Zheng Xuehong met at the provincial railway station.
Zheng Xuehong wore a brand-new suit, rolled down the car window and asked, "How do you perform this time?"
Song Weiyang smiled and said, "Old routines, I'm the Taiwanese businessman Ma Gongzi, and you are my driver."
"Yes, I'm familiar with this routine, hurry up and get in the car!" Zheng Xuehong was actually very excited, probably because he was addicted to it.
drove for several hours and finally came to the foot of the mountain in the village of Chen Tao's family. The two people who came here were dumbfounded looking at the potholes in the mountain road.
I couldn't go up even after I stepped on the gas pedal. Just after it rained, it was a mountain road again. The wheels slipped straight, sinking deeper and deeper in the mud, splashing the body full of mud.
"How did you go up the mountain last time you sent Chen Tao home?" Song Weiyang asked.
Zheng Xuehong said, "I didn't go up the mountain. Chen Tao didn't want to cause a sensation, so she asked me to park the car in the town, and then she went home and took the passbook to withdraw money. The broken credit union in the town took more than 100,000 yuan to make an appointment. For seven days, I also slept in the town for a week."
"What should we do, let's go to the village?" Song Weiyang smiled bitterly.
Zheng Xuehong came up with an idea and said: "Go back to town and find someone to push!"
Song Weiyang said, "This is a good idea."
In fact, the town is also in the mountains, but there is a county road that passes through, and the road is better than the real mountains.
During the Spring Festival, the town seemed a bit deserted. The market would not open until at least the fifth day of the new year. All the households in the town could be found.
Zheng Xuehong drove the car to the center of the town and yelled, "We are Taiwanese businessmen, now we are going into the mountains, and we need to hire eight people for carts! Just push into the mountains and pay 10 yuan per person!"
Song Weiyang said: "100 yuan!"
"Too many, don't scare people." Zheng Xuehong said.
"What you want is that effect." Song Weiyang laughed.
"You can do it," Zheng Xuehong yelled again, "100 yuan per person, I will give it to the mountain!"
The households in the town are also farmers, and they usually farm the land. Before part-time work became popular, their income was sold from agricultural and sideline products, and they earned less than a few hundred yuan a year—sold two big fat pigs for a few hundred, but they had to feed for more than a year, and other income was about nothing. .
Hearing Zheng Xuehong’s shouts, the residents of the town ran out frantically, asking questions:
"Boss, really give 100 yuan?"
"Which village do you push to?"
"Can you give 50 yuan first? I'm afraid you won't admit it."
"Boss, choose me, I am strong!"
"……"
Zheng Xuehong acted like a fox and a tiger, and said with his hands on his hips: "Our boss is a bent boy, and he will give 100 if he says 100. You, you, you, and you...you all come here and give a deposit of 20 yuan first. The remaining 80 yuan will be given to the place."
Seeing that there is really money to take, the residents of the town are crazy.
"Boss, don't think Niu San is stronger than me. In fact, he is not as strong as I am."
"Chen Lao Er, you fart, I have always been stronger than you."
"If you are not convinced, come and try!"
"Boss, I am a stonemason. I smash stones every day. I am stronger than them."
"Why don't you choose me? I can run with a load of 200 catties."
"……"
Song Weiyang rolled down the car window and looked like the second generation ancestor: "Don't fight, pick 16 people. Three shifts, rest when tired, what's the point of a few small dollars?"
Zheng Xuehong said immediately: "You, you, you, and a few of you, all come to collect the money. There are 24 people in total. Those who are not selected are not allowed to make trouble, otherwise we will go to other towns to pick people."
The 24 people selected immediately glared at the others. They are the strongest. If this rich business is disturbed, it will definitely **** the troublemaker.
Zheng Xuehong divided the 24 people into three groups, let them follow, and then drove away slowly.
The shadow of the car is gone, and the residents of the town still stay where they are and talk a lot.
"24 people, that's 2,400 yuan, this person is such a fool."
"What fool? People are big rich bosses, and thousands of dollars are not taken seriously."
"2400 yuan is enough for me to raise a big fat pig for six or seven years."
"At least eight years!"
"I've seen this car before, and it stopped in front of the credit union."
"I have also seen it, five 6s on the license plate, easy to remember."
"It would be great if he finds someone to push the cart every day. After a few days, the baby will have the money to get married."
"……"
The dirt road in the mountain is difficult to walk, and it is easy to push it with 24 people.
For 100 yuan, they really worked hard and almost carried the car all the way. Not only didn't feel at a loss, but they seemed to have taken a big advantage. Occasionally, on a flat section where there was no need for carts, these people also gritted their teeth and pushed forward desperately.
They do not lack strength, nor are they afraid of hardship~lightnovelpub.net~ They only lack the opportunity to make money, but they are afraid that they cannot find hardship.
Migrant workers entered the city on a large scale, around 1990. The railway department was completely unprepared for the Spring Festival. The national railways were paralyzed during the Spring Festival for two consecutive years. They could only mobilize manpower to stop them with violence. Some railway stations simply beat them with sticks and stabbed them with bamboo poles to beat back the hardships they wanted to make money. .
At that time, migrant workers were not called migrant workers, and the newspapers uniformly called them "blind streamers."
The population who blindly flowed into the city.
It is 1994, the railway system has been upgraded, and the paralysis of the railway will not happen again. However, the information in the remote rural areas is backward, and the farmers' horizons are also narrow. Without acquaintances with them, they would not dare to go to the cities to work.
Listening to the yelling chants behind, Song Weiyang said with emotion: "The laid-off workers are suffering, and the farmers are even more suffering."
"Who said no? But at least better than before." Zheng Xuehong said.
The real hardship of the farmers has not yet come, and it will come soon.
From 1994 to before the abolition of the agricultural tax, that was the real suffering, and some rural areas were even more suffering than in the 1980s.
Cough, I want a 404 if I say too much.
From morning to afternoon, Song Weiyang finally came to the mountain village where Chen Tao was.
More than 20 people and a car came all at once, and everyone in the village was alarmed and ran to watch the excitement.
Song Weiyang pushed the door and got out of the car, put his hands in his pants and said, "100 yuan, who washed my car."
"I!"
"Boss, I'll do it!"
The man pushing the cart immediately yelled.
Song Weiyang said: "You stand in line and wait for the money. When you get to their village, the money should be earned by the family. Who in the village wants to wash the car for me? Also, call your village director!"
