Life in a quiet village in Xianshan

The New Year in the countryside is very long. Generally, factories start working on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, but the New Year in the countryside goes directly to the eighteenth day. Anyway, there is nothing wrong, except that spring does not start and the crops in the fields cannot be planted. , then the folks will continue to live the New Year.

Now that the policy has been relaxed, things that were not allowed before are slowly appearing. Although it is not too lively yet, there are signs.

Gu Siwei didn't have this kind of leisure. After the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, he took his family to the provincial capital, and then to Hong Kong. Gu Siwei wanted to arrange work, and the family could just relax with him. .

To put it bluntly, the company's affairs are no big deal. Once the company's power structure is stable and has the function of supervision and self-examination, Gu Siwei really doesn't have much to worry about, let alone the development momentum. Although The European and American markets are still dominating the market now, but Marvel has already begun to expand its presence in the north. As long as Lao Gu doesn't think about raising the banner of rebellion, the dividends from development in the next few decades will be guaranteed.

At this moment, Marvel is also expanding, from the original video games and gaming industry to electronics, petrochemicals, transportation and other industries.

However, this expansion does not mean that Marvel is taking the lead. At this time, Marvel is just acting as an investor, investing in the original Marvel employees. If you have any good ideas, the company thinks your ideas are also good. Yes, I will invest some money for you to do it.

This not only makes it easier for Marvel to build its own industrial chain, but also fully mobilizes the enthusiasm of its employees.

Why does Marvel still have the money to do this despite its heavy investment in the North? Didn't I say that almost all of the investments in the north were loans from the rich countries in the United States? Lao Gu didn't worry about the repayment problem at all. Isn't there a saying in his previous life, if you borrow one million, that's your problem. If you borrow 10 billion yuan, then it is the bank's problem. I have nothing to worry about.

Having said that, even if Marvel fails, what does it have to do with Lao Gu? To repay Marvel's debts, Lao Gu's personal property will not be borne by him.

Lao Gu had to admire the shamelessness of Westerners. Our ancient Chinese merchants broke their families to repay their debts. These scoundrels designed a social system that allowed merchants to transfer risks to ordinary people.

I have to say that this method is really good! Anyway, Lao Gu, a businessman, likes it very much.

Not everything is going well. During the Chinese New Year, Gu Siwei sent a few more bugs to the Hong Kong Bureau. There were two other old Gu who felt that even if they were sent to the prison, they would not be able to understand their hatred, so they just dealt with them themselves. .

What, if you are greedy for money and lose your life, the money can help your parents live a better life. You are thinking too much. Is Lao Gu a good man and a woman of faith?

These are all minor episodes, but the overall direction is good. The comrades at Marvel work very hard. Although the elimination system at work is a bit cruel, the wages are high.

After the company is stabilized, Lao Gu's formula for Marvel will be the same as Comrade Lao Ren's path in a few decades. The money will be sufficient, but you have to work hard.

Fortunately, these things are not too much of a problem for us Chinese. Working one's life has always been used throughout history. In the past, working one's life was for the emperor, but now it is working one's life for the capitalists. As long as the money is sufficient, it is not a problem.

What's more, Marvel's treatment is pretty good. For example, Lao Gu launched an employee medical plan during the New Year. That is, if Marvel employees and their family members get serious illnesses, the company will pay for them, which makes Yu Wei control. Some media outlets boasted about the law and praised the merits of the lawsuit.

In fact, compared to Marvel's profits, this thing is really not even a drop in the bucket.

Another thing that worries Lao Gu is that in terms of recruiting talents, there are so many colleges and universities in the United States, among which there are a lot of international students who are excellent in science, but not many are willing to come to Hong Kong. Even if Gu Siwei waved his money, these people would be happy to stay in the United States.

This made Gu Siwei curse from time to time when no one was around, scolding these bastards for not being as good as the international students in the late Qing Dynasty. Most of the international students at that time returned to China, and these grandsons... Bah!

Forget it, scolding won't do anything.

Gu Siwei's attention still needs to be on his one-third of an acre of land, which is Jingshi Ligong.

Lao Gu didn't know anything about the school, but he knew people. He directly found high-level and upright scholars to enrich the school's team and handed over the management power to them. Lao Gu just paid for it himself. Anyway, he doesn’t have high requirements for his own life.

Life is like this for Lao Gu now. There are no big things but constant small things. Generally speaking, it is quite comfortable.

When spring comes, the temperature rises, so the construction of the farm has to start, crops have to be planted, and the fruit trees in the garden have to be cared for, so both Gu Siwei and the villagers start to get busy.

The environment in Zhuangzi is changing day by day, and the poor villagers can't adapt to the new life for a while. What's more, the villagers have more and more money in their pockets, and they are more and more motivated to spend money. stand up.

From the beginning to the end of the year, the new look of Zhuangzi can be generally revealed. The expansion of the school is completed, the students' classrooms are more open and bright, and the teachers are also assigned to new dormitories, a two-story small building on the water, with bright and clean windows. They all come with furniture, so you can just move in with your bags.

The construction of the villagers' houses has also been completed, and everyone happily moved into their new homes.

However, the villagers are very happy to live in the new house, but the requirements of the captain Gu Siwei make the villagers extremely uncomfortable. That is, Zhuangzi must check the health condition of every home from time to time every day, which makes the villagers complain a lot. .

It's just that Zhuangzi's words are Gu Siwei's words, and it's useless for anyone to object. At this time, Lao Gu is like what he played in the movie: I have finished speaking, whoever agrees and who disagrees!

I! be opposed to!

Snapped! The old man who objected was slapped in the face and spun around in the air several times.

Another magic weapon is the fine, how much is the fine for throwing garbage everywhere, and how much is the fine for public defecation? The price is clearly marked, so no one can be deceived.

In short, this year has been smooth but also accompanied by ups and downs, but everything is under Lao Gu's control.

April and May are the most comfortable seasons of the year. Gu Siwei walked on the stone road of Zhuangzi with his hands behind his back.

The stone strips under your feet are deeply oiled. Although they have just been laid for less than two years, they seem to have been used for a long time. They have a dark moist feeling. Only when you look carefully can you find that there are still some spots on the stone slabs. Rough, it takes time to smooth out their small edges and corners.

On one side of the stone road is a river embankment. The stone embankment gives people a sense of stability and solidity.

At the other end of the stone road is a row of weeping willows. At this moment, the willow trees have completely sprouted their young branches. As soon as the small strips are brushed, countless willow branches will flutter in the wind.

There are willow trees further up, and locust trees are planted in some places.

This is the time when the locust trees are in bloom, and the tree is covered with snow-white locust flowers, making the whole tree look like a huge snow-colored bouquet.

Under the tree, there was an old man holding a long pole in his hand. There was a curved iron hook on the top of the pole. The hook hooked a cluster of Sophora japonica flowers and with a slight twist, he plucked the Sophora japonica flowers on the treetop. Come down.

When the old man saw Gu Siwei coming over, he put down the pole in his hand and greeted Gu Siwei cheerfully.

"Fourth dimension!"

"Uncle Sun Liu, why are you making sophora flower pancakes at home today?" Gu Siwei asked with a smile.

Sophora flower pancakes were often eaten by people in the village. When food and clothing were scarce, sophora flower cakes were a very good thing. Sophora flower cakes are sweet, and whether they are paired with cereals or whole grains, they can make these cookies difficult to swallow. The food becomes more delicious.

However, as life in the village gets better, coarse grains have long since disappeared from the villagers’ dining tables, and every meal on the dining table of every household now consists of fine grains and rice.

Even if it is Sophora japonica, even if it is served on the table now, it is served with white noodles. Either it is used to make stuffing for the white noodles, or it is rolled into pancakes next to the white noodles.

"My grandson wants to eat sophora flower cakes. I'll go out here to pick some and eat them at home at noon. I heard that you also like eating sophora flower cakes." Uncle Sun Liu looked at Gu Siwei and extended the invitation with a smile.

Gu Siwei smiled and waved his hand and said, "I've had several meals, so I won't join in the fun today."

Gu Siwei really likes to eat sophora flower pancakes, but when he eats them, he must eat them with whole grains. Whether it’s corn flour or bean flour, Gu Siwei doesn’t like eating them with white noodles. .

"Are you checking again?" Uncle Sun Liu asked.

Gu Siwei said: "What should I check? Why, your family didn't check?"

Uncle Sun Liu said: "What? Our family has been drawn three times this week, and every time it was first grade."

When he talked about this, Uncle Sun Liu didn't feel proud at all on his face.

There is a prize in the first-class village. Although the prize is not much, only thirty or fifty yuan, Guan Jian is an honor! When the time comes to take the first place in Zhuangzi, then for the next whole year, a hygienic model home will be hung on the door of your house, which is really prestigious.

"That's not easy. It seems that your family is a strong competitor in this year's sanitation competition," Gu Siwei said with a smile.

Uncle Sun Liu chuckled. Although he did not speak, it was obvious that the old man was still confident in this matter.

"You're busy, I'll go look around again." Gu Siwei stretched out his hand and pointed.

Uncle Sun Liu said: "Don't you want to go home? I got some flowers from technician Zhang. They bloomed last night and they are very beautiful!"

"Let's wait another day, I still have something to do here," Gu Siwei said with a smile.

"Oh!" Uncle Sun Liu stopped talking.

Seeing Gu Siwei walking away, Uncle Sun continued to pick the Sophora japonica flowers, humming a tune while picking them.

Gu Siwei walked eastward along the road. At the east end of Zhuangzi, there was the newly built Zhuangzi office. The office was a large building with a modern Chinese style. It was not just an office. In addition to the office, there was also an office. There are several mahjong tables and table tennis tables in the activity center. There is also a small square, which is not big, just over an acre of land. This is reserved by Gu Siwei for the elderly to dance in the square in the future. Dancing.

Compared with the activity center, the office is not very big. There are only two rooms in total, one is a small conference room and the other is a financial room.

What Gu Siwei wanted to go to was the small conference room.

While waiting for Gu Siwei to arrive, Yang Chuanwu, Wu Meiling and some old people from Zhuangzi were all there.

At this time, the villagers were no longer dressed in the same style as before. Even if they wore blue workers' hats like Zhongshan Assembly, the temperament of the villagers had completely lost the timid appearance before. All of them have rosy complexions, and their eyes are bright when they look at people.

To use the words of other Zhuangzi people, it means that when a group of people is full, it will cost them two to five or eighty thousand.

"Everyone is here, everyone is quite early." Gu Siwei looked at his watch.

Gu Siwei looked at his watch here, and most of the people in the room also raised their wrists and looked at the watches on their own wrists.

Not to mention that everyone in the house now has a watch, even if they are casually walking around the village, eighty-nine of them are wearing a watch on their wrist. Not only are they watches, but they are all domestic brand-name watches.

To use the words of outsiders from Zhuangzi, it would be: Those guys from Team 6 of Gouzi, they really wish they had a watch to wear even if they had a dog at home.

"It's almost time. I said Siwei, can't it be earlier next time?" Guo Xiangping said with a smile at Gu Siwei.

"What's the big deal? It's just an inspection. Are we, Zhuangzi, still afraid of inspections?" Liu Fulin said with a smile.

"What kind of inspection? Visual inspection!" Yang Xingjia said with a smile while smoking a cigarette, and then flicked the ash from the cigarette butt in the ashtray in front of him.

"The investigation is not an investigation, and we even held a special meeting. It's not necessary."

Another old man also said.

The table in the conference room is long and can seat about fourteen or five people when it is full. With a circle of wooden sofas around it, the entire conference room can seat about thirty or forty people.
