Chapter 182 Cousin Chen Qiaogu
Chen Xia hasn't been to Qingfeng Village for a long time. This weekend, she took Chen Qiu and Chen Dong back to her hometown.
After this year's nutritional supplement, the two little guys' faces have become very round and they have grown by several centimeters taller.
It can be seen that the Chen family has a good genes, especially Chen Chun and Chen Qiu both have round faces, which are chubby and look very good.
Along the way, Chen Dong sat on the crossbar in front of the bicycle, constantly talking to Chen Xia about what happened in school, like a little duck that never stops.
Chen Qiu was relatively quiet. The series of changes at home before made her mature quickly. She was not much youthful and lively at a young age, and was even much more mature than Gu Lin.
When Chen Xia was away and did not go home, she assumed the responsibility of a temporary parent.
Even if Chen Xia is at home, he only provides money and food. He usually does laundry and cooking, and Chen Qiu is in charge of any daily necessities he wants to buy at home. If she hadn't, the plum garden would be like a mess.
Chen Qiu didn't feel bitter, on the contrary, she was quite happy. Chen Xia gave her pocket money more than 200 yuan this year, which does not include the savings after the family's daily expenses.
A 15-year-old girl has so much money in her hands, she is definitely the richest man in Kezhen Middle School. You should know that other students have 2 points and 5 points in pocket money.
She is very satisfied with her current life, and she has no worries about food and drink. All her clothes and school supplies are the best in the school. Children always have a little vanity, and she is no exception.
So she was quite grateful to her elder brother. If she hadn't taken the risk of going out to make money, if she was still in the countryside, she would have dropped out of school this year.
During this year, Qingfeng Village has not changed much in appearance. It is still the dilapidated old houses and the muddy village roads. The villagers' clothes are as dilapidated as before, so there are not many without patches.
However, the villagers' faces were no longer as delicious as they used to be, and their smiles gradually increased.
Grandma Sandra had just walked out of the house with two hens in her arms. When she saw Chen Xia, she quickly greeted her with a smile:
"Xiao Xia, I just came back? Oh, everyone is so tanned."
"Yes, come back and see everyone, are you in good health recently?"
"Okay, okay, haha," Grandma San saw that there was no one around and asked in a low voice: "I have a lot of eggs, do you want it?"
"I want it, I will charge as much as I have. It's still the same rule, 1 cent per person."
"Wait, I'll get it."
Chen Xia no longer looks down on this little money, but the eggs are all the hard work of the old ladies. It takes more than ten miles to sell them on the market, and the price is only 7 points or 8 points at most.
So Chen Xia still took away all the eggs in the village as agreed before, and of course he did not lose money. This is an authentic "house-raised egg". Not to mention the nutrition, it will accumulate a lot. If you sell it in the city at one time, you can make a small profit.
It is very nutritious if you don’t sell it yourself. The fried rice made with this kind of egg is golden. This is something that the eggs bought in supermarkets will not be able to be made after decades, and even the firewood eggs are not good.
Along the way, villagers kept greeting Chen Xia. He is now a prestigious cadre and his status is higher than Chen Bingkun back then.
Chen Bingkun is the director of the clinical department and only enjoys this treatment, but cannot be considered a formal administrative cadre staffing.
The reason why President Gu was so careful at the beginning was that he said that the General Affairs Department was a miscellaneous department, but the level was real. And according to the current unspoken rules of cadres, he was allowed to go up and not down, which was considered as buying insurance for Chen Xia.
The lowest starting point is "serious science", how many steps ahead of your peers?
The three brothers and sisters of the Chen family slowly walked into the village. Chen Xia went to find the fourth grandfather. Chen Qiu and Chen Dong scattered to find their respective friends. Looking at their bulging schoolbags, you will know that there must be a lot of things in it. This is considered "returning home in glory".
"Is Grandpa Four at home?"
Grandma was drying dried radishes in the yard. When she saw Chen Xia coming in, she hurriedly greeted:
"Dragon, are you back? Have lunch at home."
"Okay, I always eat at your house when I come back. Look, I'm back with beef."
The fourth grandma happily brought the beef to the kitchen. Chen Xia would bring a few kilograms every time she came, and she couldn't finish it at one time, which was a benefit to the village party secretary.
Chen Yigen also walked out of the house when he heard the sound outside, "Xiao Xia, come, sit in the house."
Chen Xia quickly ran up very hard, took out a cigarette and lit it for him.
"Fourth Grandpa, this is the authentic Hongtashan cigarette from Nagano Province. I bought yours when I was on a business trip in Nagano."
"Haha, good boy, this cigarette is a good baby. I know what Grandpa IV like."
After saying that, the old man put two red towers into his cabinet. This cigarette is a high-end product and cannot be smoked by county-level cadres. It is definitely a powerful tool for giving people.
After the two of them entered the house and sat down, Chen Xia whispered to the purpose of returning to the village.
"Fourth Grandpa, I want to discuss with you the last time about the pharmaceutical factory when I came back this time. Now the factory is probably going bad, and someone is staring at me. But I have already walked through the door and can set up a small workshop. You can introduce 7 female workers with quick hands and feet to me. I want to take them to Ke Town."
"Why are there 7? There are too few people."
"This is the policy above. If more than 7 people are exploited, it is a mistake. So I have to have 7 female workers for the time being. It just so happens that my house in Ke Town is big enough, and I have a pharmaceutical workshop downstairs, and people can live upstairs. When the policy allows me to expand the scale."
"Sure, let alone 7 female workers, there are 70, but there are some headaches for whom you don't give it to," Chen Yigen said in embarrassment.
Chen Xia said disrespectfully:
"This is to work for the private owner, of course, it is to work quickly and cleanly. You have to take care of the obstacles. You can't sell favors casually. In addition, if it is from our Chen family, I don't believe in people.
I plan to pay 50 yuan a month. Oh, there is another requirement: don’t be too old and have to be literate. I will be of great use to this group of people in the future and may become the backbone and cadre of the pharmaceutical factory.”
"Yeah, 50 yuan a month, that's so high?"
Chen Yigen was startled and immediately thought that this was a fat man. His eldest granddaughter graduated from junior high school and thought to put her in. "Xiaoxia, how about you Qiaogu?"
"Qiao Gu?"
Chen Xia recalled, "Don't Qiao Gu be a substitute teacher in the village?"
Qiaogu is 19 years old this year, one month younger than Chen Xia. After graduating from junior high school, she returned to Qingfeng Village and became a substitute teacher without getting into a technical secondary school.
