Seeing the joke
"Yugang, you are the eldest son of the family. What do I think of you, you are becoming more and more ignorant?"
Li Taishan asked coldly.
Li Yugang is a good farmer, and he can get ten points in the production team. After the household quota was established, in addition to farming the family's fields, he also helped everywhere and did odd jobs to make money. He only earned one or two yuan for a day's work.
Hearing his father's accusation, he looked confused and didn't know where to get angry.
"Dad, why am I not sensible?"
Li Yugang was puzzled.
Li Taishan glared at Li Yugang and asked: "Why don't you use your brain? If my brother-in-law is really as useless as you say, can he get so many benefits from Su Shuhai? The County Public Security Bureau is not his
It’s open to the family, and he just lets people go when he says he wants to, right?”
Brothers Li Yugang and Li Yutie, you looked at me and I looked at you, and they didn’t know how to answer for a while.
This thing is really weird.
Except for Li Cuiyu, who is his pillow partner, Liu Ye has not revealed his trump card to anyone.
Even Li Cuiyu only knows a little bit about it.
But judging from Li Cuiyu's expression, it seemed that she had not disclosed the situation to her old father.
The reason why Li Taishan saw the clues to the matter was entirely based on his life experience.
After being stunned for a while, Li Yugang let out a long sigh and said, "Dad, how can I know so much as a farmer? If you have anything to say, just say it. Why am I not as good as my brother-in-law?"
Li Taishan said angrily: "After the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee, the country has sounded the clarion call for reform and opening up. I don't blame you if you don't read newspapers and don't have a TV at home. Don't you understand?
Are you looking at the policy? After the implementation of the household contract system, the few acres of land are no longer enough for farming, and I haven’t seen you think of any clever ways to make money!”
The last sentence really touched the hearts of the two brothers!
The two Li brothers are both farmers and have no special skills. They face the loess and back to the fields all day long, relying on a little brute force to make money.
Next, Li Taishan's words made Li Yugang and Li Yutie collapse.
"You must think clearly. The Su family's failure in front of my brother-in-law is not an accident. My brother-in-law is not as incompetent as you say. I know Su Shuhai well. He has strong organizational and leadership skills.
Very strategic too
, if he had no weakness and was pinched by his brother-in-law, would he be so stupid as to give a lot of money to his brother-in-law? Look at Su Shuhai's sons. In addition to the four dogs who were spoiled by his mother, how many others
Which one is a coward? Which one is not a good money maker?"
Hearing this, both Li Yugang and Li Yutie felt like they were being pushed to the ground and rubbed hard. The person who pressed their heads was their father, but the person who really slapped them in the face was Liu Ye.
For a long time, few people in the Li family really looked up to Liu Ye. After some analysis by Li Taishan, it seemed that Liu Ye was the real strong man.
Liu Ye knew very well that in his previous life, the Li brothers all went to the coal kiln to dig coal in order to make money. Because the coal kiln was dug to the bottom of the Da'ao Reservoir, a water leakage accident occurred. All thirty-six coal miners were suffocated inside, and even their bodies could not be recovered.
.
In this life, tragedy must not be allowed to happen again!
After Li Taishan's verbal stimulation, Li Yugang became anxious and said: "Dad, you are absolutely right. You really can't make a fortune by farming. I want to go to the town coal mine to mine coal. I heard the salary is very high."
"How much?"
Li Taishan asked.
"Five dollars a day."
Li Yugang replied.
When Li Yutie heard about such a high salary, he said, "I want to go too."
The coal mine in the town he mentioned was the Fenglin Coal Mine where the water leakage accident occurred. Liu Ye was secretly surprised when he heard this. Li Cuiyu and his two daughters were saved, but the affairs of Li Yugang and Li Yutie were still moving along the track of fate.
In 1983, the monthly salary was 150 yuan, more than twice that of ordinary town cadres. No wonder they were tempted.
Li Taishan had been a soldier and fought in wars, so he certainly knew the hard work and danger of mining coal.
It was precisely because he had experienced so many dangers that he didn't feel it was too dangerous.
Li Taishan said: "What's the point of going to the coal mine? People of our generation have done countless more dangerous things than this."
Wealth and wealth are found in danger.
No one's money falls from the sky.
Li Cuiyu looked a little solemn, obviously not agreeing with her two brothers going to the coal mine.
Dad spoke, but she could only remain silent.
But Liu Ye said: "Dad, I don't agree!"
The two brothers looked at this useless brother-in-law with somewhat unkind eyes, but did not curse.
Li Taishan was also a little unhappy, but he was not so arbitrary, but asked calmly: "Xiao Ye, do you have a better way?"
Liu Ye said: "Dad, my two brothers will help me build the new house first. My salary is the same as that of Fenglin Coal Mine. It's five yuan per day based on labor. How about it?"
Li Taishan was a little confused and asked: "We are our own family, how dare we accept your wages? Even if you give money, I will break their legs!"
As soon as these words came out, the two uncles felt uncomfortable. Liu Ye had money in his hands and the wages he offered were also very high.
The problem is, why is he unreliable? He is also his brother-in-law!
Liu Ye: "Dad, didn't you just say that you should read more newspapers and watch more news?"
"Right? Am I wrong?"
Li Taishan asked unhappily.
Liu Ye smiled and said: "What you said is half right."
"oh?"
Li Taishan was stunned when he heard this and asked, "Can you tell me where I went wrong?"
Liu Ye: "Of course it is a good thing to read, read newspapers and watch the news. The problem is that your thinking has not changed yet. The country is engaged in a socialist market economy. Now it is in the process of transforming from a planned economy to a market economy. It is not just you,
Many people have not changed their minds. It is a matter of course that my two uncles do things for me and I pay them. This is a market economy. Because my two uncles also have to support their wives and children."
Hearing this, Li Taishan said angrily: "That can't be just for profit! How can you ignore a little family affection?"
Li Taishan had served as a soldier and a grassroots cadre, so he was considered a man who had seen the world. In front of his son, he always existed like a god.
Liu Ye actually dared to reason with him. Li Yugang and Li Yutie couldn't understand his reasoning.
Li Cuiyu and Liu Ye traveled to the county town several times and were exposed to some new things. They knew that what Liu Ye said was reasonable.
She said: "Dad, I think it is only natural for our two brothers to help us do things and for us to pay them. Liu Ye also has many ways to make money -"
"Ahem——"
Having said this, Liu Ye coughed twice, and Li Cuiyu quickly shut up.
There is nothing better than a wife who knows her husband.
Li Taishan finally saw some clues. His unreliable son-in-law should have many secrets.
"My daughter, it's okay if you don't say anything. As long as Liu Ye doesn't have any objections, what else do I have? By doing this, he is also helping his brother get rich."
Li Taishan said.
Liu Ye suddenly stood up and said, "Sorry, I forgot something and need to go out. Wife, please go with me."
Li Taishan asked: "Where to go?"
Liu Ye pushed out his bicycle and said with a smile: "We need to go to the county town and can't come back until evening."
