When Geng Zhiye said he wouldn’t buy it, he was actually teasing his son.
In the end, Geng Zhiye took his son and nieces and nephews to buy many small fireworks.
Erbao didn't go because it was too cold. Geng Leilei and Geng Sensen thought that fireworks were for children. They had grown up and were not as naive as Geng Huihui, so they didn't follow them. But Geng Zhiye also bought them for the three of them.
In the afternoon, the adults made dumplings, and Dabao, like a little boss, asked his brothers, sisters, and sisters to go out and play with him.
When it got dark, Dabao took out the fireworks, and the children in the alley ran out to watch. Dabao was very generous and gave a few to others so that everyone could play together.
A dozen or so children, both big and small, set off fireworks together. The whole alley was lit up and the crackling sound was very lively. The adults and adults who were eating in the house couldn't help but leave the house.
Dabao goes crazy on his own. The more people there are, the happier he becomes. He jumps up and down and asks his cousin: "Is it fun?"
Geng Leilei thought that was all. But seeing that my little cousin was very happy, he smiled and said, "It's quite fun."
Dabao immediately said: "There are some more in the house, I'll get them!"
But he came back empty-handed.
Geng Leilei couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong?"
"My dad said that the fireworks left in the house are dangerous and children should not set them off. Brother Leilei, if you tell my dad that you want to set them off, my dad will definitely give them to you." The more Dabao talked, the more he felt that his idea was good and he took away his cousin. With the small firework in his hand, he pushed him with his elbow: "Go quickly, go quickly, I'll wait for you here."
It’s useless for Geng Leilei to go.
Geng Zhiye came out with a handful of flying monkeys and asked Dabao: "Where to put it?"
Dabao was surprised and happy: "Dad, let him go?"
Geng Zhiye nodded: "Eat the dumplings after finishing."
Dabao pulled his sister to his side and said, "Don't be in front of daddy." Then he asked the other children to step back, saying that the flying monkey was very powerful and could jump on him accidentally.
The flying monkey flew up to the sky and exploded with a bang. The uncle and aunt who had just walked out of the house were startled and asked: "What's so loud?"
Dabao laughed happily: "My father released the flying monkey!"
The uncle and aunt came over to see what kind of flying monkey they had never seen before. Geng Zhiye explained: "It's just firecrackers one by one."
"How can it fly?"
Geng Zhiye: "It was made using the rocket principle."
The uncles and aunties asked Geng Zhiye to put in a few more to see how fresh they were. When all the neighbors in this alley had seen enough, Geng Zhiye finished releasing his flying monkey: "Geng Dabao, are you satisfied?"
Dabao nodded: "Satisfied! Sister, let's go home and eat dumplings!"
Erbao took his brother's hand and jumped back to the house.
Geng Leilei looked at the happy faces of his cousins and said to himself, it’s great to be an uncle’s son and daughter!
Geng Leilei didn't think so before, because Geng Zhiye was an officer guarding the island, and Dabao and Erbao had to go to the island to live with him, otherwise they would continue to live without their father. In Geng Leile's impression, the island was desolate, comparable to the mountains and forests. Therefore, he asked his parents more than once if his little cousin could bear it. On more than one occasion, I sympathized with my cousin who was reincarnated as my uncle’s child.
My cousins are as happy as they are today on the island. Geng Leilei believes that they can live their whole lives on the island with their uncle.
Geng Huihui came out with a broom and planned to clean the door, and found her cousin as if he was out of his mind: "Geng Leilei?"
Geng Leilei came to his senses: "Call me brother!"
Geng Huihui rolled her eyes at him: "Give way!" Then she told the children to go back to their homes and stop waiting outside the door. Geng Dabao's fireworks were finished.
The children also knew that Geng Dabao's fireworks had finished setting off, but it was too lively just now and they still didn't want to leave. But when she saw Geng Huihui's big broom, she had to leave.
Geng Huihui emptied the fireworks papers into the trash can, and when she got home, Geng Zhiqin, Chu Fenghe and Yang Mengxia made dumplings. Yang Mengxia glanced at Geng Huihui and asked: "How many can you eat?"
Geng Huihui: "Ten! Eat before serving."
Yu Wentao told everyone not to eat it yet. She asked those who were no longer here to taste it first.
Dabao stared at the pot of dumplings served by grandma for a while and said, "Grandma, grandpa is not here."
Yu Wentao was so frightened that he almost threw the dumplings away. Seeing this, Ye Fan was speechless and wanted to laugh: "Dabao, this is like when you are full and your neighbor Aunt Li sees you and says, Dabao, try our dumplings. You said, don't eat, thank you. But people and ghosts have different paths. , unable to communicate, you feel that your grandfather is not here, maybe he is behind you.”
Yu Wentao couldn't help but look at her, "It's better not to say anything!"
Dabao was about to ask if it was because we moved, but Grandpa couldn’t be found. Hearing this, Dabao believed it and said, "So that's it. Let's eat dumplings then."
Yu Wentao breathed a sigh of relief: "Eat what's in this basin, or should I serve it to you again?"
"Anything is fine." Dabao first went to the kitchen to get a pair of dishes and chopsticks, and when he got to the main room, he asked his mother to allocate ten for him.
Ye Fan: "Can you finish eating?"
"The fillings of grandma's dumplings are delicious." Dabao put one in his mouth, "Are they stuffed with cabbage and pork?"
Yu Wentao nodded: "Want to eat fennel filling?"
Dabao is not used to eating fennel: "I want to eat fish dumplings. Mom, how many big fish do we have in our family?"
Ye Fan had some dumplings in his mouth and made a gesture with three fingers.
"Can I make fish dumplings?" Dabao asked.
Ye Fan swallowed the dumplings in his mouth and said: "We can only eat one. One fish dumpling is not enough for everyone. The remaining two are for your aunt and second mother to visit relatives."
Yang Mengxia immediately said that they were not close relatives and could just take something.
Ye Fan: "It's not surprising that there are so many people. Besides, I haven't been there for a few years."
Geng Huihui couldn't help but said: "We go there often, so we can take whatever we want. My grandma and grandpa are reasonable and don't care how much things are."
Ye Fan almost choked at her words, but Geng Zhihui and Chu Fenghe didn't hear it. The couple nodded in agreement and took whatever they wanted.
Geng Huihui often found her aunt annoying at home. Geng Benben was drinking noodle soup with her grandma at home and was unwilling to go to her grandma's house to eat bread and luncheon meat. So Yu Wentao was confused when she heard this. Was Huihui possessed by her father?
Yu Wentao looked at Ye Fan with a confused look on his face. Did I hear that right?
Ye Fan: "Eat the dumplings first. It's not too late to talk about this in the second grade of junior high school."
Yu Wentao decided to call Geng Huihui after dinner.
However, Geng Huihui was afraid that her mother would come back and scold her, so she brushed her teeth and washed her face as soon as the dishes and chopsticks were put away, and then carried the thermos bottle to the back, saying that it was too cold, she couldn't stand it, and she was going to catch a cold.
Yu Wentao could only tell Geng Zhiqin to be careful about Huihui not to get hysterical at night.
Chu Fenghe laughed: "How old is she and she still has hysteria?"
Yu Wentao didn't dare to talk about ghosts during the day, and even less at night, so she said: "It's normal to have hysteria before you turn 18."
Ye Fan was worried that the two of them would get angry because of their disagreement, so he deliberately interrupted: "There are a few more in the pot, who wants them?"
Geng Zhihua burped.
Chu Fenghe and Yang Mengxia shook their heads. Ye Fan looked at his two eldest nephews. Geng Leilei and Geng Sensen each had their fill and shook their heads feebly - enough!
Ye Fan gave it to Geng Zhiye. Geng Zhiye asked: "Don't you even ask me if I want it?"
Dabao: "No need to ask, dad has a big appetite."
"Your dad is not a pig!" Geng Zhiye glared at his son, "Wash your face and brush your teeth!"
Dabao asked: "Don't you keep the year old?"
Geng Zhiye frowned: "How old are you? In the past few years, nothing happened if you didn't set off firecrackers during the New Year. Why are you more conservative than your mother at such a young age?"
Dabao: "Just say me, why are you talking about my mother?"
Ye Fan nodded: "That's right! Because I let you eat dumplings? Commander Geng, you don't know the heart of a good person!"
Geng Zhiye laughed angrily: "Who are you calling a dog?"
Dabao asked: "Did mom say 'dog'?"
Geng Zhiye turned to his son with a bad look: "Is it over?"
Dabao immediately went to the kitchen to brush his teeth and wash his face.
The next morning, Dabao got up when he heard the noise, got dressed and went out, and he saw Yu Wentao busy in the yard.
This is the first day of the Lunar New Year and she wants to pay New Year greetings to her elders. Yu Wentao is embarrassed to go out and chat with the neighbors, but she really can't sleep and there isn't much work at home, so she just looks here and touches there.
In the past, Geng's father had little sleep, and Yu Wentao couldn't sleep and chatted with him. Now that she was the only one in the room, it was better to get up and move while lying on the bed.
Dabao didn't know the truth and asked: "Isn't grandma sleepy?"
"What about you?" Yu Wentao asked.
Dabao wanted to say that he went to bed early and got up early, but then he thought that grandma might be the same as him, "Grandma, sit down and I will kowtow to you."
"No, no, grandma knows that Dabao is the most filial." There was no red paper left at home this year, so Yu Wentao couldn't prepare a red envelope, so she gave Dabao ten yuan directly.
Dabao was surprised: "Grandma gave me so much by herself?"
Yu Wentao: "How much did your grandma give?"
Dabao: "Five yuan for grandma, five yuan for grandpa, and ten yuan for uncle and aunt together. Grandma, give me five yuan!"
Yu Wentao didn't have much pension, so she felt distressed when she was given 60 yuan as a new year's money every new year. However, when she thought about returning to her parents' home two days ago, her sister-in-law and younger siblings all told her that because she rented a car and sold pork, the family earned an extra 20 yuan. For just a few dollars, you don’t have to buy meat for the New Year—the pig guts and pork net oil left over from slaughtering the pigs are enough.
Ye Fan asked her to take a big mackerel and two pounds of pork shank back to her parents' house. When her relatives and neighbors found out, they all praised her for being lucky. When Yu Wentao became a stepmother, her relatives and neighbors kept reminding her that it was not easy to be a stepmother and that her life would be difficult in the future.
At that time, Yu Wentao said in her heart, you think I am willing. Your family is too poor to take the blame, let alone the stepmother, you are also rushing to take advantage of the stepmother.
Now that the worries of relatives and neighbors have not happened, Ye Fan has done enough for her. Thinking of this, Yu Wentao couldn't help but smile and said to Dabao: "Grandpa is just not at home, it's not that you don't have grandpa. This is me and Grandpa gave it to me, take it.”
Dabao took it and said, "Thank you, grandma."
Yu Wentao was very pleased and asked: "Is it cold?"
Dabao was not cold when he woke up and shook his head: "Grandma, are you going to the toilet?"
"I'll get the flashlight." Yu Wentao returned to the house.
Dabao also went back to the house and put the money in the piggy bank, "Brother Ben Ben, grandma has given out new year's money."
"It's indispensable for me." Geng Benben pulled the quilt over the top and continued to sleep.
Dabao said disgustedly: "Lazy idiot!" Then he took the paper and went to the public toilet with his grandma.
After returning home and taking a shower, Dabao knocked on his sister's door and said, "Er Bao, get up and learn English."
Erbao asked her brother to come in first. When Dabao came in, she said, "Mom said you don't have to study during the New Year!"
Dabao: "Grandma gave me the new year's money."
"How much?" The little money fan immediately got out of bed and put on his shoes, without asking his brother to wait on him this time.
Dabao stretched out a finger, and Erbao whispered: "Ten yuan?" Chuo pulled up his shoes and went out: "Grandma, let me wish you a happy new year!"
Yu Wentao said "No need" again and gave the money to Erbao, "Grandma went to the bank to withdraw it. Is it new?"
Erbao nodded and spat out his compliments as if they were for free.
Ye Fan clicked his tongue and came out: "How come you and your brother can do better than me and your dad?"
"Happy New Year, Mom!" Dabao ran in and said.
Ye Fan said to Geng Zhiye who came out later: "Pay for it."
Geng Zhiye took out twenty yuan, and Dabao and Erbao each took one piece and went back to the house to put it away.
Geng Benben opened his eyes when he heard the noise and saw Dabao stuffing money into the piggy bank again: "Auntie also gave out lucky money?"
"My parents gave it to me. My dad still has it in his pocket. Get up quickly."
Geng Benben got up and stuffed the 20 yuan New Year's money under his pillow, telling Dabao: "Don't tell my mother."
Chu Fenghe was worried that the two children would spend money randomly, so he helped them put away the New Year's money no matter how much it was. Knowing that he couldn't keep the New Year's money, Geng Benben was not interested in the New Year's money.
Dabao: "I didn't see anything."
Geng Benben hugged his shoulders: "You will be my biological brother from now on!"
Dabao pushed his hand away in disgust, and when he heard Yang Mengxia's voice, he immediately went out: "Auntie, happy New Year."
Before Yang Mengxia arrived, he asked Geng Zhihua how much money he would give to his nephews and nieces. Geng Zhihua said he didn’t go back often, so it would cost him ten yuan. So Yang Mengxia took out the New Year's money that he had prepared.
Upon seeing this, Geng Zhiye gave away the New Year's money he had prepared for his niece and nephew.
Geng Leilei was too embarrassed to ask for it, so Geng Zhiye said to him: "College students are not polite, why are you so polite?"
Geng Huihui laughed and ran to grandma's house and hid in grandma's cabinet. The things Ye Fan and I bought at the thrift store were also in the cabinet. At first, Geng Huihui was afraid that her mother would see Nag Nao and think she was spending money recklessly. Later, her aunt bought a house, but she was afraid that her mother would be unkind and said that the bookshelf in her grandma's house was full and there was no room to put her things so she might as well give some to her aunt, so Geng Huihui never dared to take them out.
Among the old things was a blue and white porcelain vase, and all the money Geng Huihui earned from writing couplets was in it, and she also stuffed New Year's money into it. Geng Huihui saw several ten-dollar bills in the porcelain vase. She was very satisfied, put the porcelain vase back and went out happily.
After the relatives and friends who came to pay Yu Wentao New Year greetings left, Ye Fan took out the playing cards: "Playing cards?"
Geng Benben and Geng Huihui each occupy one seat. Chu Fenghe wanted to be angry but also wanted to laugh: "Can you two outplay your aunt?"
"Don't use your brain to count cards." Ye Fan glanced at Geng Zhiye, "If you can't help it, just get out of the way and exchange for Dabao."
Geng Zhiye stood up and asked his son to sit down: "Dabao, dad, help you?"
Dabao: "I won't cry if I lose!" The implication is, do you need your help for just playing?
Geng Zhiye sat behind Ye Fan: "I'll help you!"
Ye Fan was funny: "Let's play with Erbao."
Erbao shook his head and refused: "I want to play checkers with my aunt."
When Geng Zhiqin accompanied Ye Fan to buy poker cards, he saw a pair of checkers. In the past, supply and marketing did not dare to take them out for sale, but they were reluctant to throw them away, so they kept them in the warehouse. After the reform and opening up, the warehouse manager took out the checkers that he did not dare to sell before. Everything was taken out, but checkers were expensive and few people knew how to play them, so they were never sold.
The employees of the supply and marketing cooperative saw that Geng Zhiqin was interested and sold it to Geng Zhiqin at a low price.
Geng Zhihui couldn't help but want to laugh: "Lao San, you'd better eat melon seeds with us here."
Geng Zhiye pretended not to hear, watching her play cards from behind Ye Fan.
At the end of the round, the door of the Geng family was pushed open. Geng Zhiye and Ye Fan looked up at the same time, and several young people and children came in. Ye Fan was surprised and asked in a low voice: "Come to pay New Year's greetings to Aunt Yu?"
I used to live in an old house, and all the neighbors knew each other. Every Spring Festival, the neighbor's children would go to Geng's house to pay New Year's greetings. He just moved here last year and didn't know anyone well. Geng Zhiye didn't expect anyone to come to his door.
Geng Zhiye whispered: "You're kidding, I'll go over and take a look." He got up and went outside the door and said "Happy New Year." These adults and children were a little embarrassed at first, but when they saw that Geng Zhiye seemed to welcome them, they walked in with a smile and said "Happy New Year".
Geng Zhiye invited them in and explained: "It's cold outside and I'm too lazy to go out, so I just found a pair of cards to play cards." There were melon seeds and peanut candies in the fruit plate, and Geng Zhiye grabbed a few handfuls and gave them to the children.
Yu Wentao didn't expect that her neighbors would come to pay New Year's greetings, so she was very happy. She held a chair for the adults to sit down, and pointed to a small bench for the children to sit down.
These children had become familiar with Dabao setting off fireworks last night, so they ran behind Dabao to watch him play cards. Dabao said: "I want to play cards and can't go out with you."
Geng Zhiye laughed: "Did they call you out?"
Dabao rolled his eyes: "Did I talk to you?" Then he said, "Mom, take care of my dad, he is everywhere!"
Ye Fan: "Ignore him!"
Dabao ignored his father, and Geng Zhiye chatted casually with a few people who came to pay New Year's greetings. A few people sat for a while and then stood up to leave.
The children who came with them didn't want to leave, so Ye Fan said to the children's elders: "Let them play here."
After the adults left, Ye Fan said nonsense that Geng Leile also wanted to play cards and asked Dabao to let his cousin play for a while.
Geng Leilei was studying antiques in front of the Bogu shelf. He was stunned when he heard this. Who is Geng Leile?
Dabao stood up: "Brother Leilei, come on."
Geng Leilei subconsciously put the bamboo carving back in his hand. He came to his senses only when he got the poker. Who said he wanted to play cards?
Ye Fan said it. Dabao was bored after being replaced, so he ran outside to play with a group of children. Geng Leilei asked belatedly: "Auntie doesn't want Dabao to play poker?"
Geng Huihuixin said that he still wanted to be my brother, how could he be so discerning, "Those children wanted to play with Dabao, but Dabao didn't want to go out, so my aunt said you wanted to play."
Ye Fan nodded: "Dabao is not addicted to playing cards. I told him to get up if you want to play." Facts have proved that knowing a child is like a mother.
Geng Zhiye: "You can also ask Dabao to give it to me."
Ye Fan: "If you want to play, even if Dabao gets tired of playing, I won't let you play!"
Geng Zhiye was so angry that he cursed: "What a naughty kid!"
Erbao asked: "Dad, do you want to know why your brother doesn't let you play even if he gives it to Leilei?"
Geng Zhiye asked with a half-smile: "Do you want to know when dad beats the child?"
"Why are you hitting me? I didn't make a mistake!" Erbao said loudly.
Geng Zhiye: "Hitting your children during the New Year is just idle time."
Erbao was so angry that he called "Mom".
Ye Fan: "If you just ignore him, nothing will happen."
Erbao couldn't believe it: "Dad is such an adult, and you still ask me to give in to daddy?"
Ye Fan was helpless: "Is that what I meant?"
"Aren't you!?" Erbao asked back.
Ye Fan: "Just say so."
Erbao choked.
Ye Fan asked again: "Do you need my mother to apologize?"
Erbao suddenly felt very weak, like a punch on cotton, "You are as bad as dad!" He put on his shoes and went out, "I can walk."
Geng Leilei was very worried: "Aunt——"
"It's okay!" Ye Fan interrupted, "She teased your uncle first, but then she didn't say anything to me, so she was angry with herself."
Geng Zhiye: "Geng Erbao wants to save face. He is so angry because he was speechless and embarrassed by your aunt. Just go out and play for a while."
Yu Wentao couldn't help but said: "You can just say a few words less."
Geng Zhiye: "You can't tolerate children!"
Yu Wentao was speechless.
Geng Zhiqin was happy and asked her mother: "Do you want to go out for some fresh air?"
Yu Wentao was so angry that she didn't forget to hold Dabao and Erbao's scarves and hats.
Seeing this, Geng Zhihua was helpless and wanted to laugh: "Third brother, what are you doing during the Chinese New Year?"
"What did I say?" Geng Zhiye asked.
Geng Zhihua was speechless because it was his sister who made him popular.
Chu Fenghe smiled and asked: "Why don't you say anything?"
Geng Zhihui also wanted to go out for some air, but he was afraid of being asked what he did in the factory, so he asked Geng Zhiqin to play checkers.
The brother and sister played three games, and Geng Zhiqin lost all three games. He suddenly felt bored: "Second sister-in-law, do you want to play?"
Chu Fenghe asked Geng Zhihuai to get out of the way, and she and her sister-in-law played two games. Geng Zhihui sat down on the chair opposite and chatted with his sister-in-law, mainly about how his elder brother was doing there.
Yang Mengxia said that the revolution had just ended, followed by reform and opening up, and things were so complicated that Geng Zhihua often forgot to eat.
Ye Fan heard Yang Mengxia sighing and saying that Geng Zhihua was busy until midnight and sometimes slept for four or five hours for several days in a row. She couldn't help but said, "Sister-in-law, did eldest brother ever say that if you want to get rich, you should build roads first?"
Across the Bogu frame, Yang Mengxia replied: "It's difficult to cross the road."
Ye Fan: "That's similar to the situation I encountered on the island. In the past, I couldn't get out of things on the island. My brother's land was not even three feet flat. It was because things in the mountains couldn't get out. My opinion is to build the road first. , set up a rural cooperative to sell things.”
Yang Mengxia pulled up a chair and sat down: "Aren't rural cooperatives just supply and marketing cooperatives?"
Ye Fan didn't answer and asked, "Did you know that I used to work in a food factory?"
Yang Mengxia nodded, "The third child mentioned it in his letter."
Geng Zhiye said: "I mentioned a few words, but I didn't expect that my sister-in-law would still remember it."
Geng Zhihua said several times that Yang Mengxia will never forget, "A food factory is different from a cooperative, right?"
"It's different." Ye Fan handed the cards to Geng Zhiye and went to the side to continue, "Back then, when I wanted to set up a cooperative, I couldn't get around the commune secretary, and I might have to be led by the commune. But the official level suppressed people, and the entire commune leadership team suppressed them. I don’t want to sell seafood today and mountain delicacies tomorrow, so I proposed to the commune to set up a food factory because I am at the bottom. If the leaders above agree, there is no need to be so roundabout.”
Yang Mengxia: "Then tell me about cooperatives."
Ye Fan: "The cooperative agrees in the name of the government to set up a supply and marketing cooperative in the village, but it is different from the supply and marketing cooperative. The supply and marketing cooperative purchases and sells goods. They sell the whole village's things uniformly."
Geng Leilei couldn't help but frown: "Don't go to such trouble? You can just sell it yourself after the road is repaired."
Yang Mengxia couldn't help but laugh at his son's naivety: "Now only a few coastal cities can buy and sell freely! Ordinary people who go to the city to sell mountain products will be kicked out of the city at best, or imprisoned at worst, and may even be charged stall fees."
Ye Fan nodded: "There are villains in every unit, and the leader can't keep an eye on them one by one. It doesn't take a lot of things like this, and people won't dare to enter the city after two or three times. The higher-ups support the establishment of cooperatives, and the village chief will collect everyone's belongings. Going out saves time and travel expenses, and no one dares to bully you.”
Yang Mengxia asked: "In fact, it is still an individual selling oneself? Is it just legalized under the guise of a cooperative?"
Ye Fan: "That's right. Hasn't household responsibility system been implemented over there yet?"
Yang Mengxia nodded: "Listen to your elder brother's wish and implement it before spring plowing this year." He sighed, "Some people must disagree."
"Having been accustomed to getting food even if he doesn't work hard, he is definitely not willing to suddenly be responsible for his own profits and losses. At this time, he proposes to hand over the collected food and fruits to the supply and marketing cooperative for unified sales. If he can make money, no one will object. ." Ye Fan said.
Yang Mengxia couldn't help but ask: "Who are you selling it to?"
Ye Fan: "Brother's work canteen. You can also buy it from rural cooperatives when you receive welfare during the Chinese New Year."
Geng Zhihui couldn't help but ask: "Can't things from state-owned units be sold?"
Ye Fan said: "The state-owned units do not produce fruits and vegetables, so there is no conflict with the cooperative's products. If the candies and snacks they produce are very good, people will buy them for ten yuan a catty. If you fool around, you will deserve it if you can't sell them."
Geng Zhiye said: "Being responsible for one's own profits and losses is not only for farmers, but also for major enterprises. For the superiors, this is a matter of trying to cross the river by feeling for stones. I don't know if it can be done, so we will first carry out experiments in a few special zones. If feasible, we will promote it nationwide. By then, Maybe a lot of people will be laid off.”
Geng Zhihui couldn't help but ask: "What should we do?"
Geng Zhiye: "The state has been supporting us for half a lifetime and is no longer able to support it. You have to find a way on your own. Besides, we don't lay off employees as soon as they come up. This does not mean that the establishment of special economic zones indirectly reminds everyone that the increase in private enterprises in the future will inevitably affect state-owned enterprises."
Geng Zhihua opened his mouth: "——Not everyone can realize this!"
Chu Fenghe: "In fact, we should clearly tell workers across the country that they will lay off people if the performance is not good in the future."
Geng Zhiye was tired. His brother and sister-in-law had really stayed in the ivory tower for a long time. Geng Zhiye sighed: "Sister-in-law, you said that when people have money in the future, and several people fight for a house, house prices will definitely rise, but you still don't take it seriously. Do you think employees of state-owned enterprises believe what the country says clearly? Maybe they think there are so many workers across the country. , the country dare not let it go.”
Ye Fan: "If it gets to that point, for the sake of long-term development, it would be as dangerous as disemboweling the whole body. The higher-ups will have to do it."
Geng Zhiye said: "State-owned enterprise employees are not only slack at work. If you two go to the black market, you will know how rampant they are."
Chu Fenghe couldn't help but said: "But they are also a minority."
Geng Zhiye: "Ordinary workers also have the obligation to supervise and report reports. They dare not offend those people and turn a blind eye to the phenomenon of reselling factory goods. Will it be unfair to be laid off if the factory does not perform well in the future?"
Geng Zhihua frowned: "Not everyone has your courage. If you dare to draw a sword to help when there is injustice, others also have the right to turn a blind eye."
"What else can you say?" Geng Zhiye said, "Sell those two houses to my sister-in-law."
Geng Zhihua opened his mouth and finished: "Where is it? Don't mess around! Is it the same thing?"
Ye Fan hurriedly said: "What are you two arguing about? Brother, if the reselling phenomenon in a factory is very serious, even the security guard at the gate will realize that the factory director is incompetent. At this time, many people will think of a way out."
Chu Fenghe: "It can't be solved by just thinking about it. For example, our family has a big family of old people and children. Do you dare to leave home?"
Ye Fan nodded: "If I were an ordinary worker and suddenly got laid off one day, I would dare to go to the south to make a living. If I don't dare to go alone, I can find a few companions who are also laid off."
Chu Fenghe: "How many years have you been on the island? How dare you go to coastal cities? Others don't dare."
"Then there's no solution." Ye Fan said.
Geng Zhihua asked: "Isn't there only a dead end?"
Ye Fan sighed: "You can also go to your relatives to cry about your poverty, and look to the streets to find a solution." He glanced at Chu Fenghe, "If you still can't lose face after this, you will only die!"
Geng Huihui suspected that her aunt was talking about her grandma's family. Unfortunately, her grandma's family had stable jobs and could not be laid off even after fifty years of reform and opening up.
Ye Fan: "Then again, if you are not afraid of death, are you still afraid of going out to explore? No matter how difficult it is in the future, it will not be as difficult as breaking through Guandong in the early years."
When "Crossing Guandong" came out, Chu Fenghe was speechless.
Even if the elderly and children could not live without Ye Fan and Geng Zhiye, they could still take the elderly and children to the special economic zone to beg for food for a while. This is how many people who entered Guandong managed to survive.
Yang Mengxia tried to smooth things over: "As for your eldest brother, why are you involved in state-owned enterprises? There are not many companies on your eldest brother's side."
Ye Fan: "Is there an airport?"
Yang Mengxia shook his head: "There is a train."
Ye Fan: "Trains are also possible. In a few years, wine, oil and cigarettes can be transported here. I remember there is tea oil over there?"
"Yes. I heard it existed thousands of years ago. But it doesn't have much flavor."
Ye Fan said: "It definitely doesn't smell like lard. I don't want to ask my eldest brother to bring things here now. Once we set up a cooperative, we will sell them in the city first. When the market in the city is saturated, we will then find a way to transport them out. I guess by then the rich people in the capital will also I’ve had enough pork and want to change my taste.”
Geng Zhihui felt very unhappy because of what he said just now, and said angrily: "That's simple."
Ye Fan paused for breath, "Second brother, I don't want to quarrel with you. It's difficult for an individual to step forward, but it's easy for the city and province to take the lead! For example, if the eldest brother wants to cooperate with a state-owned unit in the capital, but the state-owned unit ignores him, he won't take advantage of the meeting. Don’t tell me you don’t dare to file a complaint?”
"I asked you to say everything, what should I say?" Geng Zhi got up and left in anger.
Geng Huihui held back her laughter and said, "Auntie, will the four of us and my uncle be the only ones left in the house soon?"
Geng Sensen was lying on the Arhat's bed and said, "I'm still here, I won't go out."
Chu Fenghe said: "I'll go out and see him."
When Geng Huihui saw her mother walking away, she said, "My mother is angry too."
Geng Zhiye said: "I have been in Peach Blossom Land for a long time and I can't stand the cruelty of reality." After a pause, "There are quite a few people like them who cannot accept reality." He looked up and saw Yu Wentao coming in, and couldn't help but say, "He Both of them are not as good as you. If everyone in our family is laid off, they will feel that it is better to die if they can't survive. The worst thing you can do is to return to your old job and sing Fengyang Huagu. "
Yu Wentao came in just in time to hear the last three words: "Want to listen to Fengyang Flower Drums?"
Geng Huihui shook her head: "No! Grandma, where are Dabao and Erbao?"
"Er Bao is skipping rope, and Dabao is fighting cock." Yu Wentao came in and poured a glass of water, "What else can I say about the flower drum?"
Geng Huihui: "Grandma, what do you think we will do if our family suddenly has no money, no job, and no land?"
Yu Wentao said in his heart that it would not be unlucky to say anything nonsense during the Chinese New Year. It might be impossible to encounter that situation, and Yu Wentao didn't mind very much. He drank some water and said, "Didn't your uncle say, Fengyang Huagu. Zhu Yuanzhang can do it, what are we afraid of?"
Geng Huihui was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "My uncle is worthy of being brought up by you."
"What are you talking about?" Yu Wentao was confused. Seeing that Ye Fan was not playing cards, she put down her water glass and said, "Fanfan, come out and let me tell you something."
Geng Zhiye: "What important matter do you have? Just say it here."
Because Geng Zhiye was not Geng Zhihua, Yu Wentao rolled her eyes rudely, pulled a small stool and sat down next to Ye Fan: "Do you know Lao Zhang from the east of our house?"
Ye Fan: "Uncle Zhang, our neighbor to the east? I know him. He has been to our house. Did he come to see you?"
Yu Wentao leaned back in shock, her daughter-in-law had become a sperm!
"Do you know what I want from you?"
Ye Fan: "Is his family's life difficult because he was the only one working in the past? His eldest son is about the same age as me. He may have gone to the countryside a few years ago before returning. The time is right around his retirement, so the eldest son takes over his job. , the youngest is in the same class as Benben, the second is a vagrant, want to sell pork to me?”
Yu Wentao opened his mouth: "Tell me, you asked about it."
Geng Huihui shook her head: "My aunt has never asked, I can prove it."
Yu Wentao: "How do you know that my second brother has no job?"
"Who will arrange it for him? If he has a powerful relative, why not arrange a house for his eldest son, and why should the whole family be crowded together?" Ye Fan asked.
Yu Wentao was convinced: "But you guessed wrong. It's not the second child but the boss who has no job. By the way, he was here just now."
Geng Zhiye thought about those people who came to pay New Year greetings: "The one who is not tall and thin but has a fleshy face, and smiles when he talks?"
Yu Wentao couldn't help but ask: "Did he say his surname was Zhang?"
Geng Zhiye said: "I told you. I could have guessed it was him even without saying anything. If you don't let the eldest son take over for the second eldest brother, it's either that the eldest son is incompetent or he has a good temper and will stick to his younger brothers and sisters first!"
