Rebirth of the Wild Age

Carrying a huge travel bag, Hong Weiguo turned over the col, and pointed downwards: "My house is in front."

Fourth Uncle Hong smiled and said, "I asked your aunt to vacate the bed and make do with it tonight. Tomorrow I will go to the market and cut a catty of meat. This boss..."

"Just call me Xiao Song." Song Weiyang said.

Uncle Hong said, "Xiao Song, you are just a baby in the city. The conditions in the countryside are poor, so don't dislike it."

Song Weiyang said: "My grandmother is from the countryside, and I am also half a rural person."

After Hong Weiguo brought his mother and younger siblings into the city, the house in his hometown remained vacant, temporarily lending it to his fourth uncle’s son and daughter-in-law to live in. This is good for everyone. If the house is empty for too long, it should be abandoned in a year or two, and someone has to take care of it regularly.

It was a row of brick bungalows, two bedrooms, a hall, a kitchen with pigsty, and one of the bedrooms also had a granary.

The dam is surrounded by a bamboo fence, and some chickens and ducks are raised, and there are feces everywhere.

The fourth uncle has two sons and one daughter, both of whom are married and established. The youngest daughter was only 18 years old, and when she married in the next village, the children could run all over the place.

The old house in Hong Wei's country was lent to the family of the younger son of the fourth uncle.

The six-year-old boy in the yard, the grandson of the fourth uncle, was so dirty that he was hitting marbles on the ground alone.

"Strong, eat candy!" Hong Weiguo took out a handful of toffee.

The boy smiled immediately, put the candy in his mouth and happily, then took out a bamboo sword from the house to show off: "Uncle, look, I made this myself!"

"Good job." Hong Weiguo praised.

There are several families on the hillside. Hong Weiguo carries a travel bag and gives gifts from house to house, all of which are candy and other things.

Uncle Hong called his wife to make the bed for them, went home by himself and killed a chicken, cut a piece of bacon from Liang, and took his grandson to the field to pick vegetables.

Song Weiyang followed them and asked, "Qianqiang should study, right?"

"We are under age, we can only go to elementary school when we are seven years old here." Hong Sishu said.

"Where is the kindergarten?" Song Weiyang said.

Uncle Hong said: "There used to be a kindergarten, but now it has been withdrawn. There is only a preschool. Preschool is boring and wastes money. It is most cost-effective to go directly to elementary school."

Song Weiyang said: "The harvest at home is okay."

Fourth Uncle Hong said: "The harvest is good. It has been a bumper crop for three consecutive years, but it is a pity that the price of food is falling."

"The low price hurts the farmers." Song Weiyang said.

"Yes, that's what I meant." Hong Sishu said helplessly with a smile.

Song Weiyang asked: "I heard you have two sons?"

Hong Sishu laughed and said: "The eldest couple works in the coastal area, and their baby is sent to the town middle school to live in. The second child is farming at home, so he can’t be too busy. I’m planting. Adding to my second child’s own family, it’s the land where the couple planted 10 people, and they couldn’t eat enough of the food they planted."

"Then life is very rich." Song Weiyang said.

"It's definitely better than the old society. You don't have to worry about food and clothing," Hong Sishu said. "But there is a fart for food, and it can't be sold at all. It is sold to the grain station for nothing. The money for fertilizer and pesticide seeds is only a year. The year is bullish, and with the addition of water money and public rations, growing rice is actually at a loss."

"Then farming?" Song Weiyang said.

"What to eat if you don't farm?" Uncle Hong said, "Our family's current situation is that there is so much grain that the warehouses are full. There is still a lot of Chengu left three years ago. But there is no money to use, the eldest couple. When I didn’t go out to work, even my grandson would have to wait to sell pig money to pay the tuition."

This is a very embarrassing thing. The farmer's food can't be eaten, and it can't be sold at a price, and it can't be exchanged for money. There is enough food and money is scarce.

To put it more bluntly, the farmers here are so poor that they only have a house of grain left.

They are very rich, and even if they don't do anything all day, the food in the family is enough to feed them for a year or two.

They are very poor. They need money for oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, money for clothes and quilts, and money for medical and school visits. These money can only be obtained by selling agricultural and sideline products. Even electric lights are reluctant to use too bright, and only dare to use 15 watts, 25 watts incandescent lamps, 40 watts is too much electricity.

Song Weiyang pointed to a two-story building in the distance, and said with a smile: "That family is quite rich, and the house is very luxurious."

Fourth Uncle Hong said: "I earn it by working. I have a good mind. I went out to work in 1991. Now I am a team leader in the factory. I have a monthly salary of more than 600, including food and housing, and I can save three or four times a year. Thousands."

Song Weiyang found out that he didn't understand the account. With a salary of more than 600 a month, how could he save three or four thousand in a year, without spending money at ordinary times?

Song Weiyang said the doubts in his heart.

Fourth Uncle Hong explained with a smile: "He is a big man who doesn't smoke or drink, so what else can he spend money on? His wife is also a capable person. To raise chickens, ducks, and pigs, the family’s expenses are still earned by his wife. In fact, these days are not bad, as long as they work hard, one woman can feed their family. The money a man earns from working is six to seven years. Enough to build a building."

"Will that woman be busy? A land with four people, raising chickens, ducks and pigs, and taking care of mother-in-law and children?" Song Weiyang asked.

Uncle Hong said: "Go out to farm at five o'clock in the morning, come back at seven or eight o'clock to make breakfast, cook the food for chickens, ducks and pigs, and then go out farming. When you come back at noon, you can cut some grass and feed the rabbits. Five in the afternoon. I finished work at 6 o’clock and came back to clean up the house. In the evening, I watched TV and went to bed. The whole day passed. Her mother-in-law is also strong, washing clothes in the morning, feeding chickens, ducks and pigs, and picking firewood in the mountains in the afternoon. Help with the work in the field."

"So tired, what if you get sick?" Song Weiyang asked.

Hong Sishu smiled and said, "See a doctor for minor illnesses, and wait for death for serious illnesses."

Song Weiyang said: "Can a serious illness be cured or not?"

Uncle Hong said, "It depends on who gets the disease. If a young man gets a serious illness, he must be able to get medical treatment. If he owes a stock debt, he has to be treated. If the young man dies, the family will collapse. Old people don’t need it. Anyway, I can’t live for a few years anyway. If it costs 20,000 to 30,000 to see a doctor, it’s better to die early and count the ball. Anyway, if I get sick, I’ll go to the doctor for a few thousand dollars, and I’ll just drink it for 10,000 yuan. pesticide."

"You can see it well." Song Weiyang smiled.

"What else can I do if I can't see it?" Hong Sishu said, "It is not easy for the eldest couple to work part-time, and the money is not windy. Ten thousand yuan is enough for them to save for two or three years. The eldest grandson will read it again soon. In high school, there are so many places to spend money, can it be used for me as an old man?"

Song Weiyang handed over a cigarette: "How much money does your family spend on consumer goods a year? Excluding the daily expenses of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar."

Uncle Hong lit a cigarette and pondered: "Except for oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, there is nothing to spend."

"It costs money for clothes and socks~www.wuxiamtl.com~ Song Weiyang said.

"Oh, yes," Uncle Hong said, "the child has to buy at least four sets of clothes a year, so he is long. Sons and daughters-in-law also need to buy new clothes and new shoes for the New Year, otherwise they will lose face when they wear them out."

"How about you?" Song Weiyang asked.

"What kind of clothes do I buy for an old man," Hong Sishu laughed. "I have worn these for at least seven or eight years. If the shoes are not worn, I will wear a pair in two or three years."

"Where are the electrical appliances at home?" Song Weiyang asked.

"I bought the TV, but I don't need the others." Uncle Hong said.

Song Weiyang asked: "I don't want to buy any drinks or beer?"

Uncle Hong said, "You must buy it when you thresh grain. You have to ask someone for help. You don't even prepare beer. You will be pierced in the backbone."

Song Weiyang asked again: "How often do you eat meat?"

Fourth Uncle Hong said: "Eating meat during festivals, usually depends on luck. If you are lucky, you will not eat meat. If you are unlucky, you will eat meat every day."

"Huh?" Song Weiyang didn't understand.

"Fowl and swine fever, if you die, you will eat meat every day." Hong Sishu said.

Song Weiyang said, "Then your son and daughter-in-law go out to work, and only make money and not spend it. Shouldn't you save a lot of money?"

Uncle Hong said, "You can't move the money you have saved. You have to keep it for building a two-story building!"

Song Weiyang was silent, he found that the biggest economic benefit of farmers is working, and the income from working is reserved for building houses. In other words, in addition to building materials, there is no consumer demand for industrial products in rural areas, and domestic demand in rural areas cannot be increased.

Of course, feed is also very popular, especially pig feed.

No wonder the Liu brothers became the richest man in China a few years ago by selling feed alone, because they have the most extensive market in China.
