Rebirth 1983: The counterattack started from hunting in the mountains

Zhang Yaoyang and Liu Quan glared at each other across the five-meter stairs. The atmosphere had reached its peak and it seemed like a fight was about to break out.

Chen Ergou rushed out suddenly, and his father Zhang Yongshou followed.

Three men standing in a line create a very oppressive feeling.

Liu Quan was scared. No matter how angry he was, he could only swallow his anger.

He picked up the money awkwardly, handed it over politely, and said some nice words against his will, only then was he able to ride away with the tricycle as he wished.

"Bah! How unlucky! It's really infuriating to meet such a scumbag."

Chen Ergou was still feeling a little aggrieved. If Zhang Yongshou hadn't held him back, he would have really rushed up and beaten the guy up first.

"Alas... When will the cycle of revenge end... Forget it! Stop caring so much."

Zhang Yongshou's sigh made Zhang Yaoyang wake up instantly.

Yes, you harm me and I harm you, and this kind of life will go on endlessly, and it has seriously affected the progress of the development of the Shiwan Mountains.

He had to solve the problem once and for all, otherwise even if he went to the mountains, his heart would be worried about home. This feeling of restraint would make it difficult for him to let go and do things.

That night, the family slept soundly in the cramped ward. By dawn, Zhang Yongqiang's condition had stabilized and he could go home to recuperate.

Zhang Yaoyang took Chen Ergou straight to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought a walk-behind tractor.

This kind of thing uses diesel, which has been available in this mountainous area since the 70s. At that time, it was considered a state-owned material and should have been available in every village.

However, Zhaojia Village is built on the mountain, the terrain is uneven, and the roads in and out are not very good. No one has repaired the road for many years.

The tractor was useless here, so after using it for a while, Zhao Dabing took the initiative to exchange supplies with other villages. As for what benefits he had hidden among the exchanged items, only Zhao Dabing himself knew.

In the past, when the production teams had not yet been disbanded, they still raised some cattle, horses and mules to plow the fields.

Later, they encountered a famine. The fields did not produce food and even people could not get enough to eat. They had to rely on wild vegetables and rotten leaves to survive the cold winter. How could they have the energy to raise livestock?

There are too many people who crave meat, and the animals will eventually die suddenly for unknown reasons and be eaten by the whole village until not even a bone is left.

The shadow of the former village chief Zhao Dadan was involved in all these things. It was lucky for him that he didn't get shot.

From here, we can see how poor this village is. It is extremely poor.

The most terrifying thing is that this impoverished life lasted for more than 40 years, and when Zhang Yaoyang was almost dying of old age, there was still not much change.

It is not a big deal for him to be able to buy a tractor by himself. His dream is to make everyone in the village live a good life, to enable every family to drive a car, and to build a wealthy village like Huaxi Village.

The price of the tractor is not cheap either, it costs 2680 yuan, which is equivalent to the salary of a state-owned enterprise employee for ten years. It is said that there are only about ten of them in the surrounding area.

Zhang Yaoyang paid the money without blinking.

Chen Ergou stood in front of a pile of cars, also looking envious.

Finally, he was itching to buy something, so he followed Zhang Yaoyang and took out 180 yuan. He counted it three times before reluctantly handing it to the salesperson and bought a tricycle.

He recently needed to transport construction materials, and he always had to borrow Zhang Yaoyang's truck, which didn't feel very good. It would be more convenient if he bought one of his own.

In this way, the money that was hard earned was spent without a penny left.

When I had no money before, I felt that the money was not enough to spend. Now that I can earn money, I still feel that it is not enough to spend. This thing is like a bottomless pit, no matter how much money you have, it is never enough.

He could only urge Zhang Yaoyang to go up the mountain quickly because making money was the real thing.

Zhang Yaoyang's tractor has a particularly large compartment at the back, where three people can easily sleep. It is very convenient to use it to transport people and goods.

Soon he brought the family back to Zhaojia Village.

When he reached the narrow and bumpy dirt road in the village, he readily took out three yuan and planned to recruit villagers to help repair the road.

Three yuan is not a small amount of money in the village, as many people can't even earn one yuan a day.

For example, it is popular in the village to carry water and sell it for money. A load of water only costs two to three cents, but although the money is little, many people do it.

I carried ten loads of water a day, and my shoulders were covered with calluses, but I only earned two or three cents.

This is earning money by selling hard labor. The women in the village cannot go to the coal mines or the quarries, and cannot earn this kind of money by selling their lives. They can only rely on selling cheap labor, saving up a few cents at a time, so that they can at least exchange it for some meat to eat on festivals.

Therefore, although the three yuan wage was not much, many villagers were scrambling to do the job and they were almost on the verge of a fight. It really proved the saying that people die for money.

Zhang Yaoyang felt extremely uncomfortable watching this, so he took out twenty yuan and hired the ten people who made the most trouble to carefully smooth the road in the village, from the village entrance to his home.

The road needs to be widened, and the uneven areas need to be filled with soil, sand and stones, and then compacted with wooden hammers before cars can drive in.

The road was really bad, especially when it rained. Going in and out was all muddy and we couldn't wear clean clothes. It was very uncomfortable.

Let's wait a little longer. Now is not the time to build roads on a large scale. He has to keep the little money he has for other purposes. It is not enough for him to start a big project.

You have to walk slowly step by step, otherwise you will easily fall.

That night, there were a lot of people standing in front of the Zhang family's door as usual, causing the adopted wolf cubs to howl non-stop.

Even the newly appointed village chief Wei Shengjun was alarmed and ran here to see what was happening.

"Zhang's waiter, your family is really rich. This thing is very expensive! Don't forget your fellow villagers when you get rich. Let's get rich together with them!"

He spoke tentatively as he touched the tractor.

Before Zhang Yaoyang could say anything, the villagers burst into laughter.

The new village chief immediately blushed.

He was not originally from this area, and had only been here for a day or two. He was busy holding meetings at the village committee and conveying the spirit of documents from his superiors. He had not had time to visit the village and understand the people's sentiments.

If he knew the horror of the Ten Thousand Mountains, he would not have said such a thing.

The Zhang family didn't even have to say much, the villagers chatted with him one after another, talking about family matters.

Wei Shengjun was a nice guy. He didn't have any airs of an official and was very humble and got along well with everyone.

Seeing everyone's enthusiasm, Zhang Yaoyang once again brought up the matter of going into the mountains.

"My fellow villagers, uncles, brothers, and younger brothers, wealth never falls from the sky. If you have the courage, you can follow me into the mountains tomorrow morning to earn some wealth. You only need to sign a life and death agreement. Is there anyone who wants to sign up..."

This is not the first time Zhang Yaoyang has said this.

Before the villagers could express their opinions, firecrackers suddenly sounded next door to Zhang's house, followed by the deafening sound of suona and cymbals.

The eldest son of the Wu family was being rescued in the hospital, but his injuries were too severe and he eventually died.

Now, those who were originally ready to make a move are now scared out of their wits. Even if we give them money, we are afraid that we won’t be able to hire them.

These people didn't care about making money and rushed towards the Wu family quickly.

In the countryside, death is a big deal. No matter how many grudges and hatreds the villagers had in the past, they must let go of them and send the deceased on his final journey.

"Tsk tsk... the final push has been wasted again."

Chen Ergou curled his lips helplessly, and then continued: "Forget it, let's do it first, and then we can make these bastards greedy to death later."

Ugh……
