Rebirth as an official

In the following month, there was no news about the villagers’ community construction plan.

Li An no longer paid attention to this matter, and instead devoted all his energy to the planting base and root carving factory.

When the fifth family came back from Guangdong, the root carving factory was officially built. Liu Changfa mobilized more than a dozen young families who stayed at home to enter the factory and start learning the craft from the fifth family. The root carving factory was officially put into operation. Arrived in production.

Li An's root carving factory is responsible for selecting suitable tree roots from the mountains for the initial rough processing, collecting root materials, peeling and cleaning. Only the subsequent carving and shaping, and fine processing are still being refined.

People from Guangdong come here to buy the root carvings once a month, and they give different buying prices according to the style and material of the root carvings.

In the first month, everyone is not familiar with it, so the profit is not very high, about 10 yuan, but this is already very good. You must know that the cost of the raw material for root carving is almost negligible, and the cost is the construction of the factory. funds and workers’ wages.

By the time the root carving factory was put into production for the second month, their profits had stabilized at around 15, which was already a considerable amount of income.

It's April again. The dead colors are gradually disappearing and the greenery is coming quietly. The chirping of birds coming from outside the house seems to remind Li An that it is already morning.

The sunlight coming in through the window is very comfortable on people. At this time, it is most comfortable to close your eyes and go back to sleep.

However, Li An no longer enjoyed a moment of comfort and lifted the quilt and got out of bed.

He moved his stiff body in the house. He had been sleeping on this hard bed in the countryside for a year, but he was still not used to it. His bones ached after sleeping for one night.

I habitually pick up the mobile phone next to the bed to see if there are any missed calls or text messages.

But when he saw the date displayed on the phone screen, Li An couldn't help but feel in a trance.

[Tuesday, April 2007, 4. 】

"Unexpectedly, it has been a year since I was reborn."

Li An stood there and sighed. There had been so many changes in this year of rebirth. The experience here and the time and space trajectory of the previous life were completely different.

The village party secretary has changed, the township party committee secretary has changed, and the county party committee secretary has also changed. The only thing that hasn't changed is that he still stays in Fuqiang Village.

But now I am also the assistant to the township mayor, and I also have a root carving factory, with a monthly income of about [-] yuan, which is pretty good in this day and age.

Li An got dressed and went out for morning exercise. When he came back, he fetched water to wash up and cleaned the yard and house.

Now Mr. Qin lives alone in his house.

Qin Fangfang went to college, and Qin Fangfang's younger brother lived in the school. Mr. Qin worked as a guard at the planting base and rarely came back. Originally, Li An wanted to move to the village committee, but Mr. Qin said so.

"This house must be lived in, otherwise the house will be badly damaged."

There was no other way, so Li An could only stay and live in this house, sweep the floor and ventilate it every day, and then go to the village committee.

After working inside and outside for more than an hour, Li An squatted at the door of the kitchen, holding milk in one hand and bread in the other and started eating.

These were all bought in the town, and he no longer had the energy to make breakfast.

For Li An, who is not very diligent, this morning's busy work is already the limit.

Before I had even eaten a few bites of breakfast, I received a call from Chen Shanhe.

"Li An, have you come to the village committee? I'm waiting for you." Chen Shanhe's tone was a little anxious.

"Why are you in a hurry? It's only seven o'clock." Li An said while looking at the time on his phone.

"Oh, if I'm late, it won't be good to make people wait." Chen Shanhe continued to urge on the phone.

"Okay, okay, I'm going out right now. I'll be there in 15 minutes."

"Ah, you haven't gone out yet. Hurry up."

The second batch of edible fungi at the planting base is about to enter the maturity stage. According to regulations, personnel from the Nonghe Company must be invited to come over for inspection and acceptance, and today is the day agreed to come over.

The train from the provincial capital arrived at ten o'clock, but Chen Shanhe called to remind him at only seven o'clock.

This friend of mine has been working hard in society for a year, but he is still so anxious.

"Okay, I'll be there soon." Li An shook his head, hung up the phone, locked the door and went out.

When he arrived at the village committee, Chen Shanhe came up to him eagerly, chattering non-stop.

"We'd better go early. What if the train arrives early? Why aren't you in a hurry?"

Li An's scalp was about to explode from Chen Shanhe's words. The sound was like the buzzing of flies around his ears.

"Brother Pheasant, I was wrong. I was wrong. Isn't that okay? I will arrive early next time." Li An begged for mercy again and again.

"Li An, I'm warning you, don't call me pheasant again." Chen Shanhe became angry when he heard this title.

"Okay, then stop nagging." Li An immediately gave the conditions.

As expected, Chen Shanhe shut up and sat in the passenger seat without speaking, but his face was full of displeasure.

Some time ago, Ang Lee, Xu Kai and he watched the "Young and Dangerous" series of movies during their free time. In one of them, "The Story of Pheasant in Friendship Years", Xu Kai saw the appearance of Pheasant, one of the protagonists in it. His real name is Zhao Shanhe, and he immediately thinks of Chen Shanhe’s name.

From that day on, when Xu Kai saw Chen Shanhe, he called him "Brother Pheasant." Chen Shanhe was so angry that he jumped up and down, but there was nothing he could do to him.

After the jeep drove on the mountain road for a short period, Chen Shanhe began to urge Li An to drive faster, but Li An ignored him and kept the speed at about 30 yards per hour.

Ang Lee's philosophy of "safety first" remains unwavering.

The car drove slowly to Yangdong County Railway Station.

Li An stood at the exit and looked at the information displayed on the electronic screen.

Train number: K48X7, operating range: Anzhou-Yuzhou, arrival time: 10:05, status: on time.

Li An looked down at the time on his phone [[-]:[-]], then looked up at the arrival time, and said with some pain:

"Shanhe, there are still two hours left, just sit here and wait?"

Chen Shanhe laughed a little and said, "Isn't this just in case? How about you take a nap in the car first."

Li An could only nod helplessly, returned to the car, straightened the seat and began to fall asleep.

Li An slept soundly this time. It felt like he had slept for a long time, and he suddenly woke up and looked at the time.

I'm going, it's almost eleven o'clock.

Why didn't Chen Shanhe come to wake him up?

The train is delayed?

Li An walked to the station exit with doubts and saw Chen Shanhe still waiting there.

When I looked at the station display screen again, there was no information about that train on it.

"Where are the people in Shanhe and Nonghe?" Li An asked.

"I didn't see anyone coming out." Chen Shanhe shook his head.

"Did you not see it?" Li An continued to ask.

"No, I watched every wave of people who came out carefully." Chen Shanhe said with certainty.

"Is there a replacement?" Li An could only guess.

"No, if there is a substitution, we should be notified in advance." Chen Shanhe denied Li An's guess.

"Then you call and ask what you are doing standing here stupidly." Li An was a little funny.

"I called, but no one picked up." Chen Shanhe said a little depressed.

"Then don't call me, just stand here and wait."

"I saw you were sleeping soundly just now, so I didn't have the nerve to call you." Chen Shanhe smiled innocently.

"You, let me call Mr. Qiao." Li An felt distressed and funny about his friend's behavior, so he took out his mobile phone and dialed Qiao Yuxin's number.

"Then let's make a call and ask." Li An took out his mobile phone and dialed Qiao Yuxin's number. .
