Hello, 1983

This Zhang Handy, who is four or five years older than Liu Qingshan, is in his early twenties. He has this nickname because he has been left-handed since he was a child.

This guy is famous for his dexterity. Every winter, he uses sorghum stalks and bamboo sticks to create beautiful and easy-to-use bird cages, which are specially used to roll squirrel.

The bird cages he made were stacked on top of each other, just like ancient palaces. Liu Qingshan reckoned that it would be no problem to make such chicken cages.

Zhang Guizi has not yet married, and is considered an older youth in the village. The main reason is that his family is too poor.

The situation in his family is exactly the opposite of that of the boss: he gave birth to seven little eggs in one go, and in the end, his mother was exhausted to death, and even his father was a man.

This is about to catch up with the old Yang family in the Yang family, an old man, leading seven sons.

Seven sons, that is seven wolves, why don't you eat poor?

Because of poverty, Zhang Chunxiao's eldest brother, Zhang Chunxiao, is in his twenties, and no one has introduced him yet. Their family is a standard bachelor's five-good family.

Zhang Guizi ranked second at home, and Liu Qingshan shouted from outside the gate: Is second brother at home?

Soon a brain seed emerged from the warehouse, and replied with a smile: Qingshan, what are you doing?

Zhang Zhuozi's brains, small eyes, and small sesame teeth, he always likes to laugh at ordinary times, and he looks very happy.

Liu Qingshan told him the situation, showed the sketch to Zhang Guizi, and was pulled into the warehouse.

There was a bundle of stalks on the floor of the barn, and there was a half-finished bird cage next to it. There were two large cages hanging on the beams, and there were a few sparrows in them, jumping around.

These sparrows were all raised in previous years, with a little red on their foreheads, and a few belly red, very beautiful.

The villagers call this bird Old Youzi.

In a few days, in November, after the first snowfall, Su Que will fly in groups from the north.

When the time comes, hang the bird cage with the old oil on the tree, and the new Su Que will take a look.

Oh my god, the guys inside had food and drink, and the little days were really beautiful, so they thumped like dumplings and fell into the rolling cage.

It doesn't take much trouble at all, you can catch a lot.

I saw Zhang Guizi was holding a sickle head in his hand, and after three strokes and five divisions, it only took more than ten minutes, and a large flat chicken coop was formed.

The ratio is basically one to one, except that the materials are made of stalks and bamboo pieces, the rest are exactly the same as those designed by Liu Qingshan.

Zhang Guizi also took out an egg from a small frame hanging in the warehouse and put it into the cage to demonstrate:

Qingshan, there is a slight problem with the design of your cage. The slope is a little smaller, and the eggs are not very willing to roll back, and they may be crushed by the hens. I will adjust the angle for you.

Second brother, your craftsmanship is superb!

Liu Qingshan was also really convinced and couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

It's you who designed this picture well!

Zhang Xiaozi also praised, and grinned, showing a mouthful of sesame teeth, and then continued:

Actually, there is no need to weld the outer iron frame, just use No. 8 iron wire as the frame, and use No. 12 iron wire for the other frames, and the bottom should be denser. It is best to use No. 10 iron wire, so that the chicken feet will not leak down when stepped on it.

Second brother, if you do it, you can get a few a day.

Five or six is ​​fine.

Okay, then when I come back from buying iron wire, I'll give it to you to make it. For fifty cents a chicken coop, my family will make a hundred first!

How many, a hundred?

yes!

That's not fifty dollars! Zhang Guizi was startled, and his small eyes immediately became round, even more round than the eyes of a rooster.

Isn't this the time to clean up Qiu'er? My father asked a matchmaker to introduce a partner to his eldest brother Zhang Chunxiao.

The woman is from the forest guard brigade, and the father is still a village accountant. The conditions are good, the temperament is good, and the appearance is also Zhou Zheng.

The only problem is that the woman is a little on tiptoe. I heard that when I was a child, I got a muscle needle and pierced the sciatic nerve.

Cooking, working, etc., has no impact at all, but when walking, I limped a little and looked indecent.

His eldest brother was also very happy, but the woman put forward a request: the girl has bad legs and feet, so she needs to buy a bicycle.

This request is normal, but their old Zhang family has no spare money, so his father said to the matchmaker: My family is the least willing to hear the jingle of bicycles, because my family is already poor.

As a result, the matchmaker went over there to learn how to talk, and the marriage almost broke, and now it's still hanging there, making his brother sigh and sigh all day long, unable to lift his spirits.

Now that fifty dollars has fallen from the sky, and if you borrow some more, there is still hope for the bicycle!

The more Zhang Guizi thought about it, the more excited he became, he grabbed Liu Qingshan:

Let's go, I'll go to the supply and marketing agency to buy iron wire with you!

The amount of iron wire that needs to be purchased is not a small amount. Zhang Shuzi directly put on his old bullock cart, and walked slowly to the commune.

Qingshan, can our greenhouse vegetables really make money?

The two were sitting in the car, chatting while walking, Zhang Guizi couldn't help but ask the biggest doubt in his heart.

These days, the brothers in their family put all their hearts into the greenhouse.

The youngest, the sixth and the seventh, one is seven and the other is nine. After school, they are pulling weeds in the shed, and there is not a single weed in the field.

His eldest brother, staring at the thermometer all day long, as long as the temperature in the shed is a little higher, he will immediately start to let out the air.

Looking at these few days, the young seedlings have emerged, and the celery and leek seedlings are all green and green. They are festive when they look at it, and they start to worry about sales again.

These little seedlings are the hope of their whole family!

Liu Qingshan smiled and comforted: Second brother, don't worry, our vegetables will definitely be the emperor's daughter, so you won't have to worry about getting married.

Only then did Zhang Guizi feel a lot more at ease: The emperor's daughter, of course, is not worried about getting married. My family has a whole bunch of bachelors, but they are worried about marrying a daughter-in-law.

Talking and laughing, after walking for more than an hour, the two arrived at the commune.

From far away, I saw a sea of ​​people, and it was almost the sound of gongs and drums and firecrackers.

What holiday is it today?

Zhang Guizi also hurriedly jumped out of the car, holding the reins of Lao Niu so as not to hit anyone.

It doesn't seem like there are any festivals. I guess there are some activities?

Liu Qingshan also looked forward, and gradually saw a few army green liberation vehicles with loud speakers on the roof, playing something.

Gradually approaching the front, it was discovered that the liberation car was moving slowly, and the car was all soldiers in green uniforms, carrying submachine guns.

Of course, the most eye-catching is not these soldiers, but the prisoners they escort.

It was a parade!

Liu Qingshan finally understood that street parading was also a feature of this period. Seeing that the big signs in front of the criminals were all painted with a dazzling red cross, Liu Qingshan suddenly moved in his heart.

I don't know what happened to Gangzi and Fei Ge in Spring City. Will they be affected?

Seeing Zhang Guizi still looking at him with great interest, Liu Qingshan dragged him away quickly.

Two people came to the supply and marketing cooperative, and all of a sudden, they almost bought out the various thicknesses of iron wire from the supply and marketing cooperative.

Fortunately, iron products do not need a ticket, otherwise, Liu Qingshan really has nowhere to get it.

Liu Qingshan bought a few more pliers, because Zhang Zhuozi said that the third and fourth and fifth of his family can also follow suit.

After leaving the supply and marketing cooperative, Liu Qingshan reminded again: Second brother, when my family's batch is finished, you'd better use the winter leisure time to make some and keep it.

What's the use of doing so much, and my family doesn't raise chickens?

Zhang Guizi couldn't turn around for a while.

There will be more and more large-scale chicken raising in the future.

Liu Qingshan knew the situation of Zhang Guizi's family, and he didn't mind pointing him to ways to make extra money.

I understand, but...but I don't have the money to buy iron wire or something?

Zhang Xiaozi scratched the back of his head, it was really difficult for a man without money.

He saw it just now that Liu Qingshan spent a hundred dollars less to buy iron wire.

I'll talk about it after finishing this batch of my family. I'll lend you the capital, but don't tell anyone else.

Liu Qingshan is simply a good person to do it to the end, not for anything else. Zhang Guizi is a good person and is very honest. He used to help Liu Qingshan tie a bird cage, and he once left happy memories in his childhood.

Since I came to the commune, of course I had to stop by the post and telecommunications office to see if there were any letters, and then I would take the village newspaper back.

If you wait for the postman of the post and telecommunications office, it will be good if you can deliver it every ten days and a half a month.

In the past few months, Liu Qingshan has also developed the habit of reading newspapers. When reading newspapers, if he confirms the things in his mind with the newspapers, he will be able to see more things than others.

When I arrived at the post and telecommunications office, there were really a few letters, all from my eldest brother-in-law. They were letters from some readers who had been forwarded by Harvest Magazine.

The eldest brother-in-law's first work Xiaofeng under the pseudonym Gao Shan has been published in this issue of Harvest.

Readers have sent letters so soon, and it seems that the response has been good.

Liu Qingshan is also very happy, because the eldest brother-in-law is getting closer and closer to real success.

At this moment, someone suddenly heard someone asking the staff inside the iron railing, Comrade, how can I get to Jiapigou?

The voice sounded a little familiar, Liu Qingshan turned his head sharply, and saw two familiar figures, unable to help but smile in his eyes.

I was thinking about them just now, and when I was thinking about it, they appeared in front of me, which was a bit of a surprise.

He was about to shout, but after thinking about it, he held back, lowered his head and walked towards the two of them, and when they passed by, he pulled them covertly.

Many people in the post and telecommunications office turned their heads and looked towards the door when they heard the question.

I saw two young people standing there, both wearing jeans and jackets, and at first glance they were city people.

But before they could take a closer look, the two turned around and left.

When he went out, Liu Qingshan walked faster and faster, and even went to remote places.

The people behind were suddenly anxious: Hey, I said Qingshan, our brothers came all the way to play with you, what do you mean?

Liu Qingshan stopped, and UU Reading www.uukanshu.com happily gave the two of them a hug.

These two people are not the friends Liu Qingshan met in Spring City: Wu Jianjun and Liu Quangang.

Gangzi was still a little dissatisfied: Qingshan, you haven't answered what I said just now. It's mysterious, like a connection with an underground party?

Liu Qingshan looked at them, only to see Gangzi with his hands in his pockets, one leg was still twitching, in the words of the old man: This passerby has lice on his body, and he will stab him if he doesn't shiver.

However, in Liu Qingshan's opinion, he has changed a bit, his long hair has also become a small flat head, and he doesn't wear toad mirrors, which seems to have restrained a lot.

The more stable one is Fei Ge, his expression is very calm, and his eyes are more restrained, but he seems a little depressed and feels strange.

Liu Qingshan ignored Gangzi and looked at Wu Jianjun seriously: What happened?

Wu Jianjun smiled slightly: Qingshan, we just came to you to relax, not because we committed something, we came to you to avoid trouble.

real?

Liu Qingshan was still not at ease.

Gangzi suddenly became anxious: Qingshan, are you not willing to entertain us, then the two of us turn around and leave, as if we have never made you a friend.

Brother Fei glared at Gangzi, and then said angrily: Actually, it's nothing, I just ate and hung up, and temporarily stayed without pay.

Only then did Liu Qingshan let out a sigh of relief: I'm scared to death, you don't know, there were still people parading in the commune just now, that big red cross is really dazzling, can I not worry?

Brother Da Fei and Gang Zi looked at each other, then stretched out their fists together, and gently slapped Liu Qingshan's shoulder: You boy, you can't expect us to order it!
