Hello 1983

It's no wonder that they are on fire. AMC is on the verge of bankruptcy. As shareholders of the company, they don't want to be acquired and merged by other car companies.

Therefore, the launch of the Trail Blazers became their last straw.

Unexpectedly, once this car was launched, it sold like crazy, especially those young people who regarded the pioneer generation as a treasure.

He even put out the slogan "I would rather be a pioneer than a girlfriend".

AMC's orders soared, and suddenly became hot again, and the company miraculously came back from the dead.

In terms of rewards for meritorious deeds, the biggest hero is of course Mr. Thomas.

But Thomas Teapot cooks dumplings, he knows it well, it all comes from that magical oriental friend.

That's why he delivered the car and called at the same time, hoping to continue to get some good things from Liu Qingshan.

Although Liu Qingshan doesn't know what happened, it is certain that both he and Thomas are beneficiaries, and they may continue to benefit.

That was enough, so he blew into the microphone:

"Mr. Thomas, I look forward to cooperating with you again. Believe me, we will collide with each other again, and maybe it will become a big fire, sweeping the entire automobile manufacturing industry!"

Haha, Thomas' hearty laughter came from the other end of the phone.

The phone call was finally over, but everyone in the room stared at Liu Qingshan so hard that he was a little scared, and couldn't help but make a joke.

"It seems that I didn't disclose any state secrets just now, did I?"

This joke was not funny at all, no one in the room cheered him on, they were still staring at him with wide eyes.

Suddenly, Lu Wen slapped his hands vigorously: "Xiao Liu, wait for the negotiation next month, our automobile factory invites you, be sure to participate!"

Liu Qingshan smacked his lips: "I still have to grow a greenhouse at home."

"Your vegetables in the greenhouse, our car factory takes care of them!"

"Then I have to raise pigs."

"We also pack pigs!"

"I have to help my eldest sister raise laying hens."

"We also wrapped the chicken, and we also wrapped the eggs!"

Lu Wen simply waved his hand: "Even you, we've got it covered!"

There was a burst of hearty laughter in the room, and Liu Qingshan stopped being hypocritical: With the big customer of the automobile factory, there is no need to worry about the sales of those agricultural and sideline products for the time being.

"Qingshan, sit down and drink tea."

County Magistrate Wang also had a flushed face. Although he spent some phone bills, it was so worth it. Even the county magistrate, he felt that his face was bright.

Who said there are no talents in Bishui County?

The point is, the car factory is now in the midst of employing people. With the face of Comrade Xiao Liu, it is not too easy to approve dozens of trucks for Bishui County.

Everyone was happy for a while, so it was natural to entertain them well at the guest house at noon.

At the wine table, County Magistrate Wang mentioned the matter of picking up the truck, but without Liu Qingshan saying a word, Lu Wen fully agreed.

The car they drove was also repaired, so it returned with a full load. The car was stuffed with various souvenirs, even Gangzi had a share.

"It was a worthwhile trip!"

Before getting into the car, Lu Wen cordially shook hands with Liu Qingshan to say goodbye, and embarked on the return journey contentedly.

"Qingshan, see you next month."

Gangzi waved at Liu Qingshan from the car window, and soon disappeared from sight.

Only then did Liu Qingshan put down his arms, feeling a little dissatisfied in his heart: You all have your own gains, so it's just my trip for nothing, right?

No, it's not a waste of money. There will be a car soon, and it will be imported.

Thinking of this, he finally regained his balance, and cheerfully said to the county magistrate Wang who was seeing him off, "Mayor, should I get my driver's license first?"

"Xiao Liu, how old are you this year?"

"16, I will be 17 soon after Chinese New Year."

"Hehe, you must be at least 18 years old to take a driver's license test, Xiao Liu, you are still young."

County Magistrate Wang looked at this young man with a smile, joking with his mouth, but he was very emotional in his heart: he is so young and powerful, I don’t know what height he will reach in the future?

Age is a flaw!

Liu Qingshan was also stupefied, and an urge to call Thomas surged in his heart: I don't want a car anymore, can I get a tractor instead?

In the county jeep, Liu Qingshan was also sent home. In fact, for him now, a car is really useless, not as practical as a bicycle.

After getting off the main road of the commune, a horse-drawn sledge ahead was walking slowly, with two large sacks still being pulled on the sledge.

On their side, after the snow fell, they usually replaced the carriage with a wooden sledge.

The two smooth wooden rails under this thing travel on the snow with low friction and save effort.

Seeing the figure sitting on the sack, Liu Qingshan looked more and more familiar. When he got close, he opened the window and yelled:

"Er Biaozi!"

The man turned his head abruptly, he was really Er Biaozi, when he saw Liu Qingshan poking his head out, he was a little dazed for a while.

Liu Qingshan asked the driver brother to stop the car, and told him to go back directly. For the rest of the way, he took the sledge.

After getting out of the jeep, Er Biaozi also jumped out of the carriage. The two brothers ran towards each other and hugged each other tightly.

"Qing Shan, you seem to have grown taller!"

"Haha, Biaozi, you seem to be tanned even more!"

There was a sound of a whip in front, and then the voice of the boss uncle came: "Get in the car, chatter while walking."

Er Biaozi looked darker and thinner. Thinking about it, it was quite difficult during this time.

But it seems that he has matured a lot, and has gradually faded away from the youthful innocence.

Along the way, listening to him talk about his study and practice experience in the Heilongjiang Province, he looked eager to try, eager to show his skills.

Liu Qingshan patted his little friend on the shoulder: "Success, let's try planting a hundred and eighty acres of rice next year."

Er Biaozi patted the big sack under his buttocks: "I brought back all the rice seeds!"

When the sledge entered Jiapigou, many people immediately surrounded him and greeted Er Biaozi.

"Biaozi, what's in this sack?"

Zhang Ganzi patted the big bag and could feel the food inside.

"Rice, of course."

Er Biaozi was too busy chatting with the villagers, so he didn't pay much attention here.

"Isn't rice just rice? Well, now we have rice to eat!"

Zhang Ganzi got excited, stood up the sack, carried it on his back and ran away.

A sack of rice weighs nearly two hundred catties. This guy is trotting and running, so who can believe that he is a lazy man?

"Hey, Uncle Ganzi, there are rice seeds in there, and they haven't been shelled yet, so they can't be eaten!"

Er Biaozi's voice came from behind.

Zhang Ganzi immediately felt that all the strength in his body was vented, his legs went limp, and he collapsed on the ground...

Chapter 100 Natural Big Freezer

Er Biaozi went home for a while, then was dragged to his house by Liu Qingshan, he slaughtered a pig yesterday, and there were some pig dishes left, so he happened to call Datou and the younger brothers to have a meal together.

Before eating, Er Biaozi took out a stack of banknotes from his close-fitting pocket and handed them to Liu Qingshan.

"When you went to Longjiang Province, I gave you 200 yuan, and you gave me more than 160 yuan. In the past few months, you have spent less than 40 yuan?"

Liu Qingshan counted the banknotes, and then got a little angry.

It's not because the money spent is too much, but too little. Excluding the round-trip travel expenses, it's basically no money.

Er Biaozi chuckled a few times: "When I get there, Professor Xu is a good person. Basically, I eat and drink for nothing and learn technology for nothing. Even the rice seeds are given by Professor Xu for free."

Liu Qingshan also silently recorded this kind of favor in his heart: the feelings of the older generation are actually the most precious wealth.

It's a pity that with the surging economic tide, the feelings of too many people have been washed away without a trace.

"When the rice on our side is ready, Er Biaozi, you must carry a bag of rice and send it there."

The big head obviously knew the affection in it, and while talking, he reached out and patted Er Biaozi's back heavily.

"It's more than 1000 miles, you asked me to carry it over, why is your head getting worse and worse?"

Er Biaozi turned around and patted the big head's brain melon seeds, and the three little friends were laughing and joking.

After laughing for a while, Er Biaozi opened the satchel he carried back, and took out a thick stack of notebooks from it.

All of this is related to the knowledge of rice from planting to harvesting, which is equivalent to the secrets of growing rice in cold regions.

Er Biaozi also patted the cheat book quite proudly: "This is a gift from my godfather!"

godfather?

Seeing the puzzled eyes of the two little friends, Er Biaozi chuckled: "Professor Xu is so kind to me, so of course I recognize him as my godfather."

Liu Qingshan can only give him a thumbs up: "Okay, then from now on, please respect your godfather well."

"Eat and eat."

Liu Jinfeng put a large bowl of sauerkraut on the table, then gave Er Biaozi a look:

"You have a devilish head and toad eyes. You can't be called a godfather when you are an old professor. You can throw it aside when you're done with it. If that's the case, be careful and I'll pinch you."

Er Biaozi was not afraid of others, but Liu Jinfeng, and he nodded his head vigorously to assure: "Eldest sister, don't worry, I'm not that kind of person either."

"Let's eat."

Lin Zhi brought out both the white meat and blood sausage, and put a plate of white meat in front of Er Biaozi: "Biaozi, you have been dark and skinny these past few months, you have suffered a lot, eat more meat."

Er Biaozi couldn't help feeling hot in his heart, and his eyes were a little sore. His old mother passed away a few years after giving birth to the fourth child in the family, that is, Si Huzi.

Since he was seven or eight years old, he spent most of his time playing with Liu Qingshan, treating Lin Zhi as his own mother.

Um!With a promise in his mouth, Er Biaozi quickly picked up a piece of fat and thin pork belly, dipped it in some garlic, stuffed it into his mouth, and yelled while chewing:

"It's so fragrant!"

When it was time to rest at night, Lin Zhi told her son to go to the commune tomorrow and sell the remaining half of pork to the buying station.

In fact, there are fewer sales this year. According to the usual practice in previous years, after slaughtering the New Year pigs, except for the head and hoofs and suet to keep at home, and then entertain relatives and friends for a meal, the rest will basically be sold.

Throughout the year, apart from exchanging eggs for pocket money, the rest of the family's income is the money from selling pork years ago.

This year is better. After paying the mission rations, there are still some surplus rations to sell.

If they were in the production team in the past, the rations of the family would be good. As for the work points and so on, in the poor place of Jiapigou, the work points are not worth much at all.

Take the year before last as an example, a work point was only a few cents.

In a bad year, you may have to pay back, work all year round, and finally pay back the money.

Lin Zhi felt that life at home was easier this year, so she left nearly a foot of pork.

Yesterday, she was a little worried about slaughtering pigs, worrying about killing pox, but luckily, the pigs she raised were up to par, and the pork was clean.

At this time, pigs are raised in free range, so the pigs are prone to parasites, and the most common one is pig tapeworm.

In this kind of pork, there are tapeworm eggs parasitic in the lean meat, which are white round things, the small ones are the size of rice grains, and the large ones are the size of sorghum rice grains. The common people call this "pox pork".

If someone kills a pig to kill pox, it will be a loss, and the buying station will not accept it at all. You can eat it at home, and you will feel guilty, so when slaughtering a pig, this is the most worrying thing.

Of course Liu Qingshan can understand his mother's thoughts, and he has lived very carefully these years, which is why he has brought up these children.

But now it is different, the days will get better and better, so there is no need to sell pork.

But I can't tell my mother clearly, then my mother will definitely be reluctant.

After thinking about it, Liu Qingshan said cheerfully: "Mom, why don't you sell it, the eldest sister and the second sister need to supplement nutrition, and the fourth and fifth are also very thin, eat more meat, and grandpa Grandma also has to take care of her."

Lin Zhi thought it made sense: "Then let's sell it. You can't kill a pig and keep it for food. Others will laugh at us for eating and drinking too much, and we won't be able to live."

Liu Qingshan scratched the back of his head: "Mother, when I went to Chuncheng, Professor Wang and his old couple said that during the winter vacation, they would go back to Jiapigou to visit, mainly because our family entertained them."
