Traveling between the 70s and the modern world

Chapter 368 Li Cuihua's miserable condition

Lin Qingyan is selecting materials for a plastic greenhouse in the suburbs of modern Beijing.

She roughly calculated that 4-5 acres of land, plus the undeveloped land nearby, added up to 7-8 acres.

Leave some space for building a house, and plant some fruits in the rest. The greenhouse can plant about 4 mu at most.

A 4-acre greenhouse is actually not a small number. Lin Qingyan only selected some materials that would not be found to be obviously abnormal in 79.

As for things like the greenhouse supports, the technology in 79 was obviously behind the modern technology, so she did not buy any from Hyundai.

After buying the materials, Lin Qingyan worked in the space for a while, filling up the fresh-keeping room before returning to 79.

After finding a public telephone booth, Lin Qingyan called the Xishui Village Brigade Headquarters.

"Hello! Where?"

There was an unfamiliar voice on the other end of the line, and Lin Qingyan couldn't tell whose voice it was.

"Hello, comrade. I'm Lin Qingyan. I'm looking for Village Chief Wang."

As soon as Lin Qingyan finished speaking, she heard someone else talking on the phone.

"Why do I seem to hear Lin Zhiqing's voice?"

"What did you say on the phone?"

"Looking for the village chief uncle, said it was Lin Qingyan."

"Ah? It's really Lin Zhiqing. Go call the village chief." The person who spoke took the phone and asked another person to call the village chief.

"Hello, Lin Zhiqing, this is Li Changqing. I've asked someone to call the village chief. Please call back in ten minutes."

Li Changqing was the new captain who took office after Li Genshu stepped down.

"Thank you, Captain."

"You're welcome, Lin Zhiqing."

When Wang Lanlan's father rushed to the brigade headquarters, he saw Li Changqing holding the phone and talking with a smile on his face.

After seeing him come in, he said to the person on the phone: "Lin Zhiqing, the village chief is here, you talk to him."

Wang Lanlan's father glanced at him, and when he answered the phone, the smile on his face wrinkled.

"Xiao Lin, the educated youth, I am Wang Tiezhu."

"Uncle village chief, is everything okay in the village now?"

"Good, very good. Now our village is piloting the household contracting system. The government not only provides policies but also financial support, including a direct loan without a term limit.

Now many people in the village have installed plastic greenhouses on their contracted fields, half of which are used to grow crops and the other half are used to grow vegetables.

Our village is now the richest village in the entire commune and even the entire county." Wang Lanlan's father became more and more proud and excited as he mentioned this.

What he didn't say is that although the government has provided a life-time and interest-free loan, many people do not dare to take out the loan. People in this era do not dare to take out a loan easily. Even if the bank has stated that it is a life-time and interest-free loan, people still do not dare to take out a loan easily.

It was only after he did the ideological work of each family that half of the people in the village finally applied for loans.

Those who apply for loans are often watched by villagers who do not have loans and gossip about them, which puts them under great pressure.

He had scolded them before, but the effect was not obvious. It was not until those who had taken out loans earned money and repaid most of their loans that those who had not taken out loans began to regret it.

Lin Qingyan talked to Wang Lanlan's father about the situation in the village for a while before telling him the purpose of this call:

"Uncle village chief, do you have the phone number of the factory that our village just bought the plastic greenhouse from? I have something to discuss with them."

"Yes, Xiaolin Zhiqing, please wait a moment, I will come and find it."

After Wang Lanlan's father gave Lin Qingyan the phone number, he asked Lin Qingyan:

"Xiao Lin Zhiqing, is my Lanlan with you?"

"Lan Lan went to set up a stall with Ye Yi today. I was dealing with other things and didn't go with them today. Uncle Village Chief, do you miss Lan Lan? Then let her call you when she comes back?"

"No, no, I'm just asking. Is she setting up a stall? Is setting up stalls allowed in Jing City?"

Beijing is the place where policies are implemented the fastest and is also a national weather vane. Now there are still some remote areas in the country that are using the previous set of policies.

"Yes, there are many people setting up stalls or doing other small businesses on the street now. Uncle and aunt can come to Jingshi to have a look when you have time. Lanlan works very hard and even earned more than 100 yuan yesterday."

Lin Qingyan's words made Wang Tiezhu smile even more, and the smile on his face did not stop even after the phone call was hung up.

"Uncle, what is Lin Zhiqing calling about?"

The captain listened for a long time and couldn't help asking when he saw his expression.

"It's nothing serious, I just asked for a phone number." Wang Tiezhu carried it on his back and stood outside the brigade headquarters.

"Uncle, your daughter Lanlan didn't come back during the holiday. What was she doing with Lin Zhiqing?" the team leader asked curiously.

"Well, Lin Zhiqing bought a house in Beijing. She and Ye Zhiqing all live in Lin Zhiqing's house. During the holidays, they do some small business together to earn some money."

Wang Tiezhu felt even happier when he remembered what he heard from Lin Qingyan, that his daughter had earned more than 100 yuan yesterday.

"Doing business? Is it allowed to do business now?"

The team leader thought of the people in the commune who had been arrested and sent for reform for speculation in previous years.

"Yes, Lin Zhiqing said that there are many people pushing carts and selling small items on the streets of Jingshi now, and no one is in charge. Let's go to the county town tomorrow to see the situation."

"Okay, uncle, your Lanlan is smart. She made friends with Lin Zhiqing. Not only did they both get into college, but they can also do business together. Maybe one day she will buy a house in Beijing and take you and aunt there to enjoy the good life."

The team leader smiled and flattered the village chief, but who would have thought that he really touched his heart. His daughter wrote back and said that he should make more money during the holiday so that she could buy a house and take him and his wife there to live a good life.

The village chief walked home with his hands behind his back and a smile on his face. When he passed by Li Genshu's house, he heard a noise coming from their yard from a distance:

"You jinx, you made a fuss and tried to marry that ungrateful bastard Wang Cheng, but what happened? You were naughty and caused trouble for Lin Zhiqing, and in the end, your father lost his position as the team leader.

It would be fine if you could live a good life with him, but look at what kind of person Wang Cheng is. Dad has long felt that he is not a good person and wants to break his wings so that he can live a good life with you here.

What happened to you? After being coaxed a few times, you secretly let him take the college entrance examination without telling his family. With his condition, could he get into college? Ugh!

He really thought he was a nobody. He went to take the exam, but he did something bad again. He was beaten up by gangsters and his leg was broken. You refused to eat or drink and knelt down to beg your father to treat him.

Dad felt sorry for you and hired a doctor to treat you. He spent dozens of dollars and saved your life, but your leg was crippled.

I thought he could live a stable life with his lame leg, but when he recovered, he coaxed you and said he would go back to the city first and come back to pick you up.

Then what? I've been gone for months, why didn't I come to pick you up? And you, you idiot,

You found out you were pregnant after he left. Are you going to let your family not only support you, but also raise a child for that ungrateful bastard?"

Li Genshu's daughter-in-law pointed at Li Cuihua's nose and scolded her.

Li Cuihua remained silent the entire time, working silently at her job despite her big belly. No one knew what she was thinking.

This farce happens almost every day in their home. The neighbors have become accustomed to it, and even the children are no longer interested in it.

Wang Tiezhu walked over without any hesitation and couldn't help cursing the whole family for being idiots in his heart.
