Counterattack in the chronology

Gu Lichun has three methods. One is to mobilize the family members of the employees in the five fields to be paid on a daily basis, each with one yuan per day.The wages are paid in advance by the farm office first, and then returned to the farm office after the first batch of alfalfa is sold.If the family agrees, you can wait a month to settle the wages; the second is to contact the primary and secondary schools around the farm, and let students above the second grade come to the farm for spring outings and experience production labor. The farm does not need to pay wages, but it is more troublesome. Send a tractor or It’s trucks that pick up people. Of course, it’s even better if they can come by themselves. A meal at noon is enough. Of course, this can be done freely. Laborious, requiring a lot of agitation and publicity.

Director Deng listened, thought for a while, and then said: "The first two methods are feasible, but you will not be paid in advance at the labor market. You should try to persuade them to wait for the alfalfa to be harvested before paying wages. I believe that with your Eloquence can definitely do it.”

Gu Lichun looked embarrassed: "Deng Chang, it's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice."

Director Deng was unwavering: "The organization believes in your ability. You can even persuade me and Lao Zhu, so who else can't?"

Gu Lichun: "Not everyone can be as far-sighted and discerning as Director Deng and Director Zhu."

Director Deng listened with a calm face. You can shoot as you like, but you don’t have to pay.

Gu Lichun: "..." Seeing that the other party was too determined, he immediately stopped the loss and gave up decisively.

Coming out of Deng's house, Gu Lichun went directly to the field office. Officer Liang and Sister Bai were there, and he told them his thoughts and the reaction of field chief Deng.

The two of them helped Gu Lichun find a way together, and Sister Bai said: "The family members of the employees, I know well, let me talk about it. I used to work as a temporary worker on the farm and get paid after one month, but this is different from the farm. Let's see if they believe in the reputation of our Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Department."

Officer Liang also said: "The guy in my family is a teacher, and I'm in charge of the school."

Gu Lichun said: "Thank you both very much. I am really lucky. Not only did I meet a big leader who supports me, but I also met a direct leader with strong responsibility like you two."

Officer Liang said with a smile: "Xiao Gu, you are an officer now, I can't be your leader."

Gu Lichun said: "In theory, maybe not, but in my heart, you and Sister Bai are both. After all, you are seniors, and I have to learn a lot from you."

Clerk Liang is very useful in his heart, who doesn't like to be respected and praised?

Sister Bai was bold, waved her hand and said, "Little Gu, don't be so polite, everyone has the strength to contribute, hurry up and find a way to get this done."

Gu Lichun said: "Sister Bai's reminder is that the main reason is that I am too excited today, and I express my feelings. I am not usually so emotional."

Both of them laughed.

Gu Lichun then discussed some details and steps with them.

Gu Lichun said: "The first step is to ask Mr. Deng to help us buy alfalfa seeds. We need alfalfa seeds. This variety is easier to grow. While waiting for the seeds, we have to level the wasteland and organize people to pick up stones." Stones. No matter what, you have to plow the land with a machine. You don’t need to plow it deeply, just a shallow plow. After the land is plowed and the seeds are bought, you can sow seeds.

There are many things going on, but there are only a few of them, and everyone has to wear several hats.

Sister Bai made some calculations and said, "No, there are still too few people in our five games. I heard that a group of educated youths are coming recently. I have to report to Deng Chang. We also need a few people."

Speaking of the coming of the educated youth, Gu Lichun suddenly thought of Jiang Mu and Chen Jie, they should be coming soon.

Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived, when he returned to the pig farm, he saw Chen Jie.

"Chen Jie, are you here to report?"

Chen Jie nodded with a smile, "Yes, my dad is finally willing to help me this time, as an urgent matter."

Gu Lichun said: "That's good, the atmosphere of our farm is pretty good." At least it's much better than Gu's Village.

Chen Jie said very satisfied: "You are not here, I followed Wu Fat Zhao Gao and the others to visit, and I really like it here."

Gu Lichun asked again: "By the way, where are you assigned?"

Chen Jie asked mischievously: "I won't tell you, you guess."

Gu Lichun: "We have five farms? Agriculture and animal husbandry?"

Chen Jie said with a smile: "I didn't expect it to be so smooth."

Gu Lichun smiled wryly and said: "Then you came at the right time. Our department is short of manpower, and everyone has several jobs."

When Chen Jie heard the news, she seemed very happy: "I just like such a busy life, and I'm afraid that I'll just sit on the bench and have nothing to do."

Gu Lichun patiently explained to her: "Our five games have the worst conditions in the field, but the field department, especially the agriculture and animal husbandry department, because there are few people and less intrigue, everyone is very united and the atmosphere is good." Now, Chen Jie felt more at ease.

Gu Lichun didn't hide from her, and told Chen Jie about the meeting in the morning and the difficulties they encountered so far. Anyway, she would know about it when she reported for duty tomorrow.

Chen Jie started to work ahead of time, and enthusiastically helped Gu Lichun find a solution together.

"The method you think of allowing school students to experience life is very good, especially for schools other than farm middle schools. For example, your younger brothers and sisters know that I am going to come to the farm, and they all want to come with them. Yes Yes, I brought you something, I almost forgot."

Chen Jie took out a bundle from her luggage.Gu Lichun opened it and saw that it was food and clothes.

Gu Lichun casually asked about the situation of the family members, and Chen Jie said: "Your family is still the same, everything is fine. It's your father..."

Speaking of this, Chen Jie was a little hesitant.

Gu Lichun's heart skipped a beat, and he said hastily: "I know who my father is, and I'm mentally prepared, so tell me."

Chen Jie thought for a moment, and carefully chose her words: "I'm not sure about this matter, just listen to it. Go back and check next time."

Gu Lichun nodded, motioning for her to continue.

Chen Jie said that she had to go to the commune to go through the formalities because of the transfer to the farm. Once, she met Gu Dajiang and the village widow Zhong Yanli on the way to the town. At first she thought it was nothing, but they were just walking together.But the strange thing is that when Gu Dajiang saw her, his expression changed.When he returned to the village, he still made friends with her, meaning to tell her not to speak out, which made Chen Jie feel even more abnormal now.She refrained from telling Tian Sanhong. After struggling for a long time, she felt that she should tell Gu Lichun.

Gu Lichun frowned, he always felt that that scumbag father would not be so peaceful all the time, sure enough, Gu Dajiang had never let people down in the matter of scumbags.

Chen Jie saw that Gu Lichun's expression was not good, so she quickly comforted him.Gu Lichun shook his head: "I'm fine, I'm mentally prepared, I'll take care of it. Thank you for reminding me."

Gu Lichun and Wu Fat originally wanted to invite Chen Jie to have dinner at the pig farm, but Chen Jie said that she was going to clean up the dormitory, Gu Lichun said: "That's fine, I'll treat you after you settle down, anyway, I still owe Zhao Gao and Wu Get fat, and then you will come together, and everyone will be lively."

Chen Jie readily agreed: "Okay, then I will definitely come."

Gu Lichun asked Wu Pang and Zhao Gao to send Chen Jie downstairs to the girls' dormitory.

When the two came back, Gu Lichun briefly explained the matter to them, and both of them were very angry.

Wu Fat said: "I told you earlier, Brother Gu, you have to change your father."

Zhao Gao said: "Then what should we do, Aunt Tian will not die of anger when she finds out?"

Gu Lichun had already made up his mind that he would send Gu Dajiang to a remote construction site as a temporary worker, with his wages deducted, and he was not allowed to come back.As if he was in a labor camp.It's a pity that neither Zhao Gao nor Wu Fatty has any connections in this regard.

Zhao Gao sighed: "If you want to talk about remote construction sites, those in the production team may know them. Among them are the infrastructure departments, who dig ditches and build roads everywhere."

Speaking of the production team, Gu Lichun knew who he could turn to, Hu Dahua.Although he and Hu Dahua had only met once, they had a good impression of both of them, and they belonged to the employees of Wuchang, so it was not surprising that he went to find him.

Gu Lichun went to the canteen and bought two packs of Nongfeng cigarettes for [-] cents, put them in his pocket and went straight to Hu Dahua.Hu Dahua was surprised and pleasantly surprised to see Gu Lichun.

He laughed heartily and said, "Haha, Comrade Gu, why did you think of looking for me?"

Gu Lichun said: "Last time I was there and chatted with you very speculatively, so I came here to chat with you."

Speaking of handing two packs of cigarettes to Hu Dahua, Hu Dahua waved his hands quickly: "You are too generous, one is enough."

Gu Lichun stuffed both packs of cigarettes to Hu Dahua: "This is a gift from someone else, and I don't smoke, so here it is for you."

Hu Dahua is an old smoker, so he accepted the cigarette after thinking it was not expensive.

He wiped a match, lit one first, and smoked a smoke ring beautifully, squinting his eyes and asked: "Little Comrade Gu, look at your face, are you in trouble? Tell me, can you?" Just help me."

Gu Lichun looked at no one around, hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, as if he had made up his mind, and said helplessly: "The thing is, something scandalous happened in my family, and I can't think of anyone to help, so I can only trouble Brother Hu gone."

Then, Gu Lichun was a little embarrassed to say that his adoptive father might have hooked up with other women, and he was afraid that his adoptive mother would be sad if he found out, and he was even more afraid that the village would make a fuss about it and rape his father.These days, there is the crime of "making broken shoes".He wanted to get his adoptive father out as a temporary worker. It was best to find a place far away from home and not be able to go back casually, so that he could not contact that woman. In this way, the two of them could be separated from each other.

Hu Dahua was filled with righteous indignation when he heard this, "Your father is too bad, your son is already this old, so you are not afraid of affecting your future if you do anything foolish."

Hu Dahua heard about the situation of Gu Lichun's family more or less from other people, and sighed in his heart, "No melon is perfect, no man is perfect." Xiao Gu is so smart and capable, but his family situation is so bad.

Gu Lichun said: "Brother Hu knows about me. When I first came to the farm, I don't know many people. I thought about it, maybe you are the only one who can help me, Brother Hu. I hope you don't find me abrupt."

Hu Dahua waved his hand: "If you ask me for help, you think highly of me. Besides, it's not difficult. Let me think about it. I'm far away from home, so I can't come back casually. Then there is really a suitable place."

Hu Dahua then asked: "Have you heard of the construction of a hydropower station on the Qingjiang River?"

Gu Lichun shook his head: "I really haven't heard of it, where is Qingjiang?"

Hu Dahua said: "It's three hundred miles away from here. We're going to start construction this year. We need a lot of manpower, and we also need temporary workers. I have a comrade-in-arms who is in charge of the construction site. If you want, I can help you."

Gu Lichun hurriedly said: "Yes, thank you very much Brother Hu."

Hu Dahua went on to say: "By the way, let me tell you in advance that the place is tired and hard, and the wages are not much. You can earn more than 20 yuan a month, but you can eat enough."

Gu Lichun smiled wryly: "In my father's situation, even if he doesn't pay money, he can just eat and live."

Hu Dahua thought about it, and he nodded: "Okay, my brother-in-law is going to deliver supplies there in the past few days, and I will ask him to help."

Gu Lichun thanked him again, and Hu Dahua changed the topic to another topic, "By the way, Xiao Gu, I've always wanted to ask you, can the alfalfa plant you mentioned really work?"

Gu Lichun said with a smile: "It's definitely possible. If you don't believe it, you can wait for more than a month. Plant it now, and you can harvest it in a month."

Hu Dahua smiled slyly and said, "Okay, I'll just wait for a month."

Hu Dahua asked Gu Lichun to go back and wait for news, and the two said goodbye.

The next day, Chen Jie reported to the Department of Agriculture and Animal Husbandry.Qi Ke was not very happy. He wanted a male educated youth, but a female came, and she came from a big city. This type of girl is generally more delicate.Clerk Liang was very happy, someone is better than nothing.

Chen Jie saw Qi Ke's dislike, and felt uneasy.

In the evening, Gu Lichun invited her and Wu Pang to dinner.When Chen Jie mentioned this, Gu Lichun said indifferently: "You prove it to him with practical actions, and he will naturally change after a long time."

Gu Lichun didn't know how to evaluate Qi Ke. Anyway, he felt that he was different from Liang Ke and Sister Bai.

After dinner, Gu Lichun sent Chen Jie back. The atmosphere here on the farm is much more civilized than that in Gujia Village. Even if a man and a woman walk together, everyone is used to it, especially if there is a big age gap between Gu Lichun and Chen Jie. Few people spread gossip.That's why Gu Lichun dared to send her off alone.

On the way, Chen Jie whispered, "Xiao Gu, thank you for venting your anger on me."

Gu Lichun was taken aback for a moment before he realized that she was talking about Liu San.

Gu Lichun said: "That kind of scum deserves to be beaten up, but it's a pity that he wasn't beaten hard enough."

Chen Jie's voice turned cold suddenly: "It's ok, there will be more later. I have already told my dad. By the way, you are right again. I lost several letters to my dad. My stepmother said yes The postman didn't deliver it. I followed what you taught me and gently reminded my dad that you can call the post office and ask. If I lose my letter, I will lose it. What if my dad loses an important letter? "

Gu Lichun praised: "Yes, that's what you should do. Treat others as they treat you. This is teaching them how to behave."

Chen Jie said: "Yes, teach them to be human. This feeling is very different. In the past, others taught me how to be human."

……

At the beginning of the year, Wuchang Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Division started the action of reclaiming wasteland and planting alfalfa.All the employees in the field know it. Most of them are holding the mentality of watching a joke. Some people question whether we still need to grow grass?Won't you grow up yourself?

Some people also said that Gu Lichun was proud, thinking that he didn't know how many catties he had after raising a few pigs.Anyway, there is everything to say, especially the employees of the fourth field, they organized a group to check the situation.The two farms are close to each other and both were built later, so there are naturally comparisons and contests between the two farms.

Wu Fat and Zhao Gao quarreled several times because of this matter, but Gu Lichun didn't meet him himself. He was so busy that he ran around on his bicycle.

During this period, Director Zhu's job title was also changed, becoming the party branch secretary of Wuchang, and a deputy branch secretary was added to the party branch. When Gu Lichun found out that the deputy secretary was not Wang Youcheng, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. .

Gu Lichun also frankly went to the party committee office to congratulate Secretary Zhu. Seeing Gu Lichun swaggering into the party committee office, Wang Youcheng couldn't calm down.According to common sense, shouldn't this guy hide from himself like a mouse hides from a cat?Why did you take the initiative to deliver it to your door?

Gu Lichun greeted Wang Youcheng with a smile on his face, and then reported the progress of his thoughts to Secretary Zhu.

Secretary Zhu gave him a one-hour ideological and political class in a friendly manner.An hour later, Secretary Zhu felt that his conversation had a high level and high level, like a bright light, illuminating the way forward for young people; Gu Lichun sincerely felt that he had learned a lot of routines, which would be very useful in future meetings. We had a great chat.The most important thing is that Gu Lichun only accepts ideological education and does not ask Secretary Zhu for help, which makes Secretary Zhu even more satisfied. This is a pure and good young man who has escaped from vulgar interests.

What Gu Lichun thought in his heart was that if he didn't have friendship, how could he just ask anyone for help.Especially leaders, don't open your mouth about small things, and come to big things when you want to.

Gu Lichun first organized people to pick up rocks on the wasteland, and the first group of people to come were the children who helped him mow the grass last year.

Gu Lichun felt that picking up stones was no less difficult than mowing grass, so he raised their wages, and he put the money on the account, and then deducted it from the money sold for alfalfa.You can't let him pay for it himself.

Chen Jie also took the initiative to come over to help. Officer Liang and Sister Bai were quite satisfied with this new employee. Although he came from a big city, he was not squeamish at all and had a good personality.The two also knew that Chen Jie and Gu Lichun knew each other, so they were even more satisfied.

The pig farm is fine for the time being. Except for the two people who stayed behind, the rest of the pig farm employees are all going to open up wasteland.Piles of stones were collected and transported to one side, and the roots of trees and grass were planed and thrown aside for fire.

The children haven't started school yet, and they spend all day on the wasteland. They play everywhere anyway, so why not pick up rocks and have pocket money and snacks here.

In particular, Gu Lichun listened to Chen Jie's suggestion and began to make his own snacks.They bought dozens of catties of hawthorns and some crushed rock sugar slags. Chen Jie made the first batch of rock sugar gourds with the help of Zhao Gao and Wu Pang.

After the children finished their work, each of them got a bunch of candied haws. They were all overjoyed, holding the candied haws and showing off all over the farm.

The number of children who came to work the next day increased sharply, and there were even many adults.When there are more people, the work speed is naturally faster, but the problem also arises, the candied haws are gone.In fact, the hawthorn on the farm is very cheap, and the most expensive thing is sugar.Although, Chen Jie tried to save sugar as much as possible, and only a few candied haws per skewer, but the quantity was huge, and crushed rock sugar was not available every time.

Gu Lichun originally wanted to add some rock sugar from the space farm, but after thinking about it, this is not a common practice.

Soon, he thought of another way, which was to stir-fry popcorn in an indigenous way.He saw a gourd-shaped iron pot in the warehouse of the farm. After repairing it, it can still be used. After a little modification and a handle, it becomes a fried popcorn pot. Fill the iron pot with corn kernels and turn it on the fire After about 10 minutes, put the tin can into a long cloth bag covered with a tin bucket, and start to open the can. There was a loud "bang", and a bag of popcorn was ready.Corn kernels are bought from farms, which are cheaper than outside. A scoop of corn with a little saccharin is a big pot of popcorn, which is much cheaper than candied haws.

After Gu Lichun experimented a few times, he handed over the job to Zhao Gao and Wu Pang.The children were naturally overjoyed and worked harder.But it also created a bad habit, that is, as soon as they heard the "bang", they all ran towards the stove.Moreover, the frequent blasting of cannons also attracted the attention of other people. Some came to watch the fun, and some brought corn kernels and sugar from home for Wu Pang and Zhao Gao to help fry popcorn.Both are acquaintances, and the two of them didn't refuse, but it made the helpers feel embarrassed, and they didn't want to give money, so let's help with some work, whether it's paid or not.

As a result, more adults joined in, and Sister Bai also contacted many family members of the employees. Aunt Tao and Sister Hu were willing to come.

With the participation of the family members, the speed of clearing the wasteland was much faster.

In a few days, they cleared dozens of acres of wasteland, and Gu Lichun and Sister Bai started to coordinate the walking tractor.This is a bit difficult. Now that spring plowing has started, the tractors in each field are treasures. There are also a few tractors in the fifth field, but they are all in the major production teams, and they are not willing to borrow from anyone.Everyone ran for two days, and finally borrowed a walking tractor from Hu Dahua's production team that always ceased fire.

Gu Lichun went into battle by himself, driving a broken tractor, puffing black smoke, running back and forth across the wasteland to plow the land.

Both Zhao Gao and Wu Fatty were interested. After studying for a long time, they started to drive with Gu Lichun in rotation.

Of course, the tractor would shut off from time to time, so Gu Lichun had no choice but to fix it. He had never repaired this kind of thing, but the techniques were similar, and he could figure out the way after a few times of pondering.After several experiments, Gu Lichun basically figured out the routine of this tractor. The main reason is that it is used too hard, and it will strike when it is overloaded; the second is that the oil circuit is blocked; .After finding out the main reason, there will be a solution.The tractor has to rest for a while after driving for two hours, and the car also stops when people stop. Diesel oil is easy to get dirty, so the oil circuit must be cleaned frequently, and those small rusty and damaged parts must be replaced.In this way, the failure rate of the tractor is greatly reduced.

Two days later, Ye Ainong's fourth-fourth production team offered to lend them two walking tractors. Seeing Ye Ainong's flickering eyes, Gu Lichun still didn't understand.Since someone took the initiative to borrow it, he would not refuse. If he could repair it, he would repair it, and if he could not repair it, he would return it.

These two tractors have their own faults, but they are barely usable, and the three tractors plow the field faster.At first Gu Lichun planned to plow lightly, but now that the conditions are met, he plans to plow the land deeply and level it well. The deeper the land is plowed, the better the alfalfa will grow.

In this way, three tractors plowed side by side, and three black smokes rushed straight into the blue sky. There were occasional bangs and bangs from the wasteland, and the children were laughing and laughing.

Hu Dahua took time to come and told Gu Lichun that the reservoir had already greeted him.

"The monthly salary is [-] yuan, and five yuan is deducted for food expenses. As long as you can work hard, if you think it's okay, you can bring someone here in two days, and I'll ask my brother-in-law to bring it with you."

Gu Lichun thanked him again and again, and he planned to go back in the next two days.

Before the field was plowed, Director Deng asked someone to deliver the alfalfa seeds, which were the alfalfa seeds that Gu Lichun asked for by name.

Before planting alfalfa, there is still some preparatory work to be done. Gu Lichun asked people to pick out plump, healthy and shiny seeds. After picking, he dried them in the sun, and then soaked them in the water of the farm space.This preparation work alone would take two or three days, and Gu Lichun happened to take this opportunity to go home.

Gu Lichun didn't expect that Lixia would come before he had time to go home.Lixia was riding a bicycle with his face covered in dust. When he saw Gu Lichun, he pulled him aside and said anxiously: "Brother, something happened to our father. People in the village said that he had an affair with Widow Zhong, and some people said that he wanted to 'fight broken shoes'." '."
