Chapter 1624 The General and the Great Fairy Child
Zhao Youcai had been scratched on the back by a black bear and could not lean on anything when sitting. Zhao Chun was afraid that he would feel uncomfortable riding the train, so he asked Zhao Jun to drive to the forest farm to attend the meeting.
Just in time, Zhao Weipeng and Zhao Jinhui wanted to join in the fun, so Zhao Jun and Zhao Weipeng each drove a jeep and took Zhao Youcai, Li Dayong, Li Dazhi, Wang Qiang, Lin Xiangshun, Zhang Yuanmin, Zhou Jianjun, Li Baoyu, Zhao Jinhui, Jie Chen and Li Ruhai to the forest farm.
It was a bit crowded for the group to sit in two cars. Zhao Jinhui had no problem sitting in the front passenger seat because of his physique. Zhang Yuanmin and Li Ruhai were squeezed into the front passenger seat of Zhao Jun's car. One of them was short and the other was thin, so it was not too uncomfortable to squeeze together.
As the car went up the mountain road, Zhang Yuanmin hugged Li Ruhai and turned to Zhao Jun who was driving and said, "Brother, I told your sister-in-law yesterday that if I see a cheap car one day, I will buy one too."
A year and a half ago, people had to keep accounts when getting medicine from doctors at the clinic, but now they are planning to buy cars.
Zhao Jun knew that Zhang Yuanmin was rich, but it would not be easy for him to buy such a cheap car.
While the two were talking, Xie Chen, who was sitting in the back row, said to Zhang Yuanmin: "Brother Zhang, if you want to buy something, why don't you buy a tractor?"
"Huh?" Zhang Yuanmin was startled. Xie Chen continued to laugh and said, "We now have big jeeps and big Jiefangs. What we still lack is a tractor."
"You're talking nonsense." Just as Xie Chen finished speaking, Zhang Yuanmin laughed and said, "What do you buy that thing for? To pull manure? Or to pull potatoes?"
The people in the car laughed, and then Zhao Jun cursed: "Damn it, I get angry when I hear the word tractor. We still have to buy tractors for people."
When the people in the car heard what Zhao Jun said, they all kept silent.
When Zhao Weipeng persuaded the Zhao Family Chamber of Commerce to invest, he forgot about the sponsorship fee when he was settling the bill.
For example, Zhao Weipeng came to Yong'an Forest Area to do freight transportation, and promised in advance to sponsor tractors and pole-lifting machines to Yong'an Forest Farm.
This news has already spread to all the large and small forest areas under the Shanhe Forestry Bureau.
These forest areas were not interested in who would do the transportation or how it would be done, but when they heard that someone was sponsoring, the secretaries and managers of those forest areas became excited.
So when Zhao Weipeng went to discuss business with Xiaohongshan, Shuguang and other forest areas, the secretaries and production managers of those forest areas actually made huge demands, asking for fifty tractors and a hundred pole-lifting machines.
Zhao Weipeng had a good temper, but his face turned pale at that time. All those forest areas combined were not as good as the Yong'an Forest Area, and their appetite was even bigger than Yong'an's.
With Zhao Weipeng's persistent efforts, the Zhaojia Chamber of Commerce sponsored ten Dongfanghong 28 tractors and twenty pole-lifting machines to each of the three forest areas, and only then was the timber transportation business of the three forest areas won.
These days, the price of a Dongfanghong 28 tractor is about yuan, and there may be some discounts if you buy ten at a time. The price of a pole-lifting machine is yuan, mostly less than yuan, but pole-lifting machines can cost more than yuan.
Although the profit of transport business is not small, people always want to make more money. So when they think about having to give so much sponsorship to others, they feel a little uncomfortable.
"Brother." At this time, Zhang Yuanmin turned around and said to Zhou Jianjun who was sitting in the back row: "Brother-in-law, you know people in these nearby forest farms. Ask them where they have the obsolete machine. We can buy it back for him at a low price. After that, I will raise money to sponsor the pole-mounted machine myself."
"Ah?" Zhou Jianjun was shocked by Zhang Yuanmin's words and asked quickly, "Brother Zhang, you can also collect that stuff?"
"Hey, Jianjun." At this time, Lin Xiangshun took over and said, "Don't underestimate him, he will be in trouble for a while."
"Can it work?" Although Lin Xiangshun spoke for Zhang Yuanmin, Jie Chen still questioned it and said to Zhang Yuanmin, "Brother Zhang, if your brother-in-law doesn't get it back, it will be a waste if you can't save it."
"Impossible!" Zhang Yuanmin laughed, "If someone else can install something, I can take it apart and figure out how to fix it."
"Ouch." Hearing this, Li Ruhai glanced at Zhang Yuanmin and said with a smile, "Who was that year? He was repairing the gun for Yongli Li Shaonan, but he didn't do it right. The gun handle flew off and pierced his chin."
When Li Ruhai said this, Zhang Yuanmin suddenly turned his head to look at the boy and asked, "How did you know that?"
"Ah?" Different from Zhang Yuanmin's reaction, after hearing Li Ruhai's words, everyone, including Zhao Jun, looked at Li Ruhai with curiosity.
"What's going on?" Li Baoyu, who was also squeezed in the back row, reached out and grabbed Li Ruhai's shoulder and asked, "What happened a while ago?"
When asking the second question, Li Baoyu's eyes drifted towards Zhang Yuanmin.
Li Ruhai smiled but said nothing. Xie Chen urged him, "Ruhai, tell me, what's the matter?"
"What? What does this have to do with you?" Zhang Yuanmin turned around and angrily said to Jie Chen: "You don't even know him!"
"I don't know him, can't I just ask?" Xie Chen glared at Zhang Yuanmin as he said this.
"CTMD!" Zhang Yuanmin cursed at this time, but he was not cursing Jie Chen or Li Ruhai.
Then Zhang Yuanmin said, "I'll pay him 800 yuan. I've already told him that if it doesn't work, just tell him and get out of here!"
Both the Zhang family members, father and son, were not tall, but both had a pair of dexterous hands.
Forty or fifty years ago, when Zhang Dabo was still alive, that person could make a gun by himself. He could make a gun by taking a steel pipe, using yellow glass and other wood to make a large groove, and then adding small parts that he had polished himself.
In the past, whenever the hunting rifle used by Zhao Jun’s grandfather broke down, he would always ask Zhang Da Nao to repair it.
During the difficult years a few years ago, Zhang Yuanmin wanted to inherit his father's business. The first business he took was from a gunner named Li Shaonan in Yongli Village.
At that time, Li Shaonan went to find Zhang Yuanmin because his rifle was making a lot of noise.
In the Northeast dialect, "Ga Da Ya" means to chew slowly. For example, when an adult gives a child a dried sweet potato, he would say "Take it, Ga Da Ya".
When we say the gun is rattling, it means that a pin or a mechanism is loose.
The pistol is an old hunting rifle, the 16-gauge is a single barrel, and the 32-gauge is a double barrel. Both types of hunting rifles are opened to load bullets, and then closed again.
There is a mechanism buckle when closing the gun. The gun is often opened and closed, and the mechanism buckle becomes loose. The gunners call it "gadaya".
Zhang Yuanmin was repairing Li Shaonan's gun that time, but it broke. When he returned the gun to Li Shaonan, Li Shaonan opened and closed it and felt that there was no problem, so he paid the money and took the gun home.
The next day, Li Shaonan got up early and went up the mountain to hunt squirrels. When he found the target, Li Shaonan fired the hammer and pulled the trigger, and the gun exploded with a "bang".
The trigger that Zhang Yuanmin had built opened, and the gun fired automatically without anyone having to push it. Half of the gunpowder and sand were ejected from the front muzzle, and the other half of the gunpowder and sand were ejected from the barrel, spraying Li Shaonan's chin.
Fortunately, Li Shaonan didn't use a single-headed bullet, otherwise his jaw would have been broken. But even so, the lead bean was embedded in Li Shaonan's chin.
Coupled with the effect of gunpowder, Li Shaonan's injury was not light. After he went to the clinic, the doctor recommended that he go to the Forestry Hospital.
Li Shaonan, who had just gotten married, listened to the doctor at the clinic, and before leaving, he asked his wife to call Zhang Yuanmin.
For this, Zhang Yuanmin paid 800 yuan in compensation, of which 300 yuan was borrowed.
Over the years, Zhang Yuanmin repaid the money gradually. It was not until last year when he started to work with Zhao Jun that he paid back all the money to Li Shaonan.
At that time, it was agreed that Li Shaonan would never tell anyone about this matter. It was fine in the first few years, but last year when Zhang Yuanmin paid back the money, Li Shaonan did not keep the agreement.
If Li Ruhai hadn't brought it up, Zhao Jun would never have known that Zhang Yuanmin had such a thing.
Listening to Lin Xiangshun, Zhou Jianjun, Li Baoyu, Jie Chen and Li Ruhai teasing Zhang Yuanmin in turn, Zhao Jun smiled and said nothing.
When they had finished teasing, Zhao Jun said to Zhang Yuanmin, "Okay, stop saving up for the pole-mounted cranes. We have already spent the extra ones, so we don't need those two anymore."
"Brother, that's not enough!" Zhang Yuanmin said bitterly, "Sixty pole-mounting machines cost nearly 100,000 yuan. With that 100,000 yuan, what can't we do?"
"Then can you save up 60?" Zhao Jun was silent when Zhang Yuanmin asked, and then Zhao Jun continued: "After I get married, Baoyu will be here in March. In the first half of the year, we won't do anything. When autumn comes and the red hammers come out, I will take you to the mountains."
Zhao Jun was thinking that he should quickly lead people to clear all the old ravines that were not cleared last year. Then, he could bring out the conjoined ginseng that he had heard about in his previous life.
As long as the conjoined ginseng seedlings are sold, it will be enough to rent two more train cars. Who would care about the sixty pole-raising machines?
After hearing what Zhao Jun said, Li Ruhai was the first to respond and said, "Brother, let me lead you to the mountains. I will enjoy the view every day."
"Well, I'll lead you." Zhao Jun responded with a smile. At this time, Li Baoyu wanted to complain about Li Ruhai, but he heard Li Ruhai say, "Brother, what is a general?"
"Great general?" Zhao Jun frowned when he heard this, and then he heard Li Baoyu laugh and mock Li Ruhai, saying, "No? How did you read the book? He Jin and Jiang Wei, aren't they both great generals?"
"If you don't know, then don't get involved." Li Ruhai glared at Li Baoyu. He was about to say something to Zhao Jun, but Zhao Jun asked Li Baoyu, "Baoyu, isn't He Jing the girl in Liu Mei's backyard? You said you wanted to introduce her to me."
Li Baoyu, Li Ruhai, Zhang Yuanmin, and Jie Chen: "..."
Li Baoyu opened his mouth but didn't respond to Zhao Jun's words. Li Ruhai had just said that Li Baoyu was meddling in the matter, but now he didn't dare to say anything to Zhao Jun.
Although Li Ruhai didn't say anything, he was speechless in his heart. When he first arrived at the forest farm, he went to the reading room to read books and newspapers when he was bored.
Li Ruhai remembered that he had read a report saying that the three northeastern provinces were the most educated in the country. But how could there still be an illiterate person like his elder brother?
"Hey?" Zhao Jun, who was driving, felt something was wrong, so he turned around and asked, "Why aren't you talking?"
"Ah, big brother, haha..." Li Ruhai laughed dryly, and thinking of keeping the respect for the elder, he changed the subject and said, "I'm asking you about the great general in the mountain camp."
After hearing what Li Ruhai said, Zhao Jun did not answer for the time being, but asked Li Ruhai: "Ruhai, who are you listening to? How do you know all this?"
"Ah!" Li Ruhai nodded and said with a smile, "I was at my eldest sister-in-law's house yesterday. Didn't Pang Laoer come? Afterwards, I heard him muttering that if his father was in the mountaineering business in the old society, he would have been a general."
Zhao Jun narrowed his eyes when he heard that. Pang Laoer was a worker in the forest farm workshop, and his father was the leader of the Pang family gang, Pang the Blind.
The current Pang Family Gang is the largest and most profitable Gang in Yong'an Forest District. But Zhao Jun feels that Blind Pang's Kung Fu is not yet at the level of a general.
……
Lingnan, Jilin Province, Qiaotou Village Shao family.
Eighty-eight-year-old Shao Yunjin, the bald man, was sitting on the kang smoking a pipe. He had grown another year older during the Chinese New Year, but the old man was still full of energy.
At this time, there was a noise coming from the outer room. The 67-year-old Shao Tianpeng walked quickly into the inner room, sat down on the edge of the kang, and said to Shao Yunjin: "Dad, I have asked about it. Song Lan said that they will leave tomorrow."
Hearing this, Shao Yunjin asked back, "When will Zhao do the work?"
"February 3rd." Shao Tianpeng was talking about the day when Zhao Jun got married. Shao Yunjin heard this and said, "Then pack up, pack up, let my great-grandson drive, and we'll go after that."
"Dad, is it okay for us to go this way?" Shao Tianpeng asked. Shao Yunjin knocked his pipe against the table twice and said, "Your dad is already this old, what's good or bad about it? What rules can control me?"
Shao Tianpeng had no choice but to face his father who was almost 90 years old. It was said that people could do whatever they wanted after they turned 70, and the rule that people could come to red events without invitation could not restrain his father who was this old.
But the Chinese have another saying: Don’t let people over 60 stay overnight, don’t let people over 70 eat, and don’t let people over 80 sit.
Shao Tianpeng believed that his father could live to be 120 years old, but he also knew that his opinion could not represent others. His father was so old that no matter how much money he gave as a gift, people were not willing to entertain him at weddings.
Seeing Shao Tianpeng's embarrassment, Shao Yunjin said, "Son, your father is not confused. When we get to Lingxi, you and Zhiqiang, go to Zhao's house for a feast. After that, just ask Xiaojun to send me to Lao Pang's house."
The "Xiaojun" that Shao Yunjin mentioned was not Zhao Jun, but his great-grandson Shao Jun.
After hearing what Shao Yunjin said, Shao Tianpeng frowned and said, "Dad, is it okay for you to go to his house?"
"Why not?" Shao Yunjin glared and said, "How dare he do anything to your father?"
"He wouldn't dare." Shao Tianpeng echoed, and then advised: "Dad, you should stay at home, I will take Zhiqiang with me."
"You're nothing!" Shao Yunjin glared at Shao Tianpeng and said, "You lost the eldest fairy boy in Lingxi, and you didn't find him back, did you?"
"Dad, wasn't it Pang Sanyan who said we crossed the line?" Shao Tianpeng said, but Shao Yunjin said, "Whether we cross the line or not, I don't think it can be helped. Pang Sanyan is dead, so is his son the head of the family?"
"Yeah." Shao Tianpeng replied, "His son is the head of the family, nicknamed Blind Pang."
Shao Yunjin nodded upon hearing this and said, "He is a grandson of mine, and I have crossed the line. How dare he do anything to me?"
After saying this, Shao Yunjin threw his pipe on the table and said, "If it doesn't work, let him call all the gangs in Lingxi to see if my words are effective."
