Chapter 44: Fight the first battle
Niu Xiaoqiang's words made the other three dumbfounded. How do they know what a market economy is? This is the first time they have heard of the concept of value preservation.
After being stunned for a while, Niu Huahua spoke: "Brother Xiaoqiang, how do you know so much? I was stunned when I told us about shares in the morning, and now when it comes to market economy and value preservation, everything is true, and I don't know you a little bit." ”
Niu Xiaoqiang originally wanted to say that all the knowledge he learned was seen from those extracurricular reading materials, but he was worried that after saying this, the three friends would borrow books from him. These extracurricular reading materials are all Mr. Li's, he cherishes them very much, but he can't guarantee that his friends cherish them as much as he does, in case they lose or stain the books, how to explain to Mr. Li after the new semester starts?
"Well, I listened to what my master said, you know him as a person, and he has great skills. ”
The three of them sighed, revealing a look of sudden realization. Fang Dongping is a high-level intellectual in everyone's eyes, and he is a very, very high-level kind, so the three of them did not have any doubts about Niu Xiaoqiang's words.
Niu Huahua asked as if she remembered something: "By the way, the three of us have all said our thoughts, Brother Xiaoqiang, you haven't said it yet, or you can share it with everyone." ”
Niu Xiaodong and Niu Xiaoyong also looked at Niu Xiaoqiang with curiosity and expectation, Niu Xiaoqiang casually picked up a straw and stuffed it into his mouth, crossed Erlang's legs and said, "Well, I'm going to hand over the money I earn to the family to help the family improve their economic situation." ”
Niu Huahua looked at Niu Xiaoqiang again: "Aren't you going to buy something to treat yourself?"
"My four sisters are all in the boudoir, and I haven't found my in-laws' family yet, how can I spend money indiscriminately? In any case, I have to help them prepare a little dowry, right? Otherwise, what should I do if my in-laws dislike them? Besides, my fourth sister still has to go to college, and the expenses are not small, can I afford to rely on the few acres of thin land in my family? Finally, I also have to save some bride price money for future marriage, think about it, can I spend money indiscriminately in this situation?"
Niu Xiaodong put forward a different opinion: "Brother Qiang, how do I feel that you are like the head of your family? Yes, your family is indeed a large population, but it is not enough for your youngest brother to bear the burden, right? Your sisters are all like flowers and jade, and they are afraid that they will not be able to find a good mother-in-law's family? Where do you need to prepare any dowry? Not to mention that your second and third sisters have joined the work, and they are not making a small income, right? Can you afford to be so old-fashioned?"
Niu Xiaoyong added: "You still have such a powerful brother, he is the pride of our village, my parents always let me learn from him, he is only more than a year older than us, he is already the technical backbone of the factory, salary plus allowance, almost get 60 yuan every month, such a high salary is not enough?"
In these days, the wages of ordinary workers are generally only a dozen yuan, and if it were not for the fact that the factory provided food, it would be difficult for such a small amount of money to support the life of a family.
A slightly better salary is only more than 20 yuan, and more than 30 is already rare, only those state-owned factories and state-owned factories with good benefits can get this amount, for example, the cotton spinning factory where the second sister Niu Xiaxiang is located. Niu Xiaoqiang's elder brother Niu Xiaogang can get fifty-eight yuan a month, which is definitely a high-paid class.
But what about this? Does it have anything to do with Niu Xiaoqiang? When he heard this, he became angry: "Don't mention my brother, although I am his own brother, I can't afford to climb high, this guy is completely a white-eyed wolf, I look down on this and look down on that, I-"
Niu Xiaoqiang was halfway through his words, and suddenly realized that his family ugliness should not be publicized, and he changed his words: "Anyway, I don't want to count on him, people, you still have to rely on yourself, I don't believe that I will be worse than him in the future!"
When the three of them saw that the leader said so, they naturally would not be uninteresting, and expressed their full support for Niu Xiaoqiang one by one:
"Brother Qiang, you are the pride of our Niujia Village, and you will definitely get ahead in the future!"
"Yes, I don't accept any of my peers, so I will obey you, I believe that under your leadership, a few of us can also get a little light and make a fortune with you!"
"Brother Xiaoqiang, you are the most powerful, you know everything. ”
If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, it would be hard to imagine that the thief trio would be so obedient to Niu Xiaoqiang. You must know that more than half a month ago, Niu Xiaoqiang was still a fool in their eyes. In just over half a month, Niu Xiaoqiang has changed from a fool to a wise and martial leader, which is incredible when you think about it.
Niu Xiaoqiang laughed: "Thank you for your encouragement, while there is still time, let's continue to practice." ”
The three of them agreed, slid down the straw pile, and continued to get busy.
Before five o'clock the next morning, a few friends got up to herd the cattle. Parents are too late to be happy when they see their children so diligent, where will they ask?
They took out the shovels in advance last night and hid them, and after arriving at the designated meeting place, Niu Xiaoqiang waved his hand: "Comrades, we must fight the first battle!"
"Let's go!"
A few people grinned and slapped the cow's buttocks, and you chased me to Hope Farm.
Half an hour later, the four arrived at their destination. They loosened the ropes and let the cattle graze on their own, and then carried their shovels to the edge of the pond.
Niu Xiaoqiang had already chosen the excavation site yesterday, he pointed to the ground under his feet, and ordered: "Let's dig from here, the gap does not need to be too big, otherwise the water flow will not be easy to control after digging, in case the fish is released, we will do it in vain." ”
Niu Xiaoyong hesitated and said: "Brother Qiang, didn't you say yesterday that you would build a dam in the middle of the pond to divide the pond? Why did you directly ask us to dig a ditch and release water today?"
Niu Xiaoqiang pointed to the water surface: "Let's release some of the water first, after the water level is lowered, the silt below will be exposed, so that we can build a dam." ”
Niu Xiaoyong sighed: "I see." ”
When the three of them were digging a ditch, Niu Xiaoqiang took out a filter from the snakeskin bag he brought with him. This filter was bought yesterday in town and cost a dime a dime. The money was recorded in his accounts and repaid to him when the fish was sold.
Niu Xiaoqiang spread the filter on the ground, and after making a comparison, he took out the firewood knife he secretly brought from home and went to the mountain to cut branches. Soon, he had cut six wooden roots more than a meter long.
Niu Xiaoqiang carried the wooden stick to the filter, and then tied the stick to the filter with the rope he brought to make a blocking net that could block the fish.
