Chapter 91: Farmer Boss Qian

Boss Qian is a farmer, and his ancestors were all farmers.

Compared with his ancestors, Boss Qian is considered a literate person. None of his ancestors were literate. When Boss Qian was five years old, his father bought spring couplets from the market for the New Year. On the morning of New Year's Eve, he called Boss Qian to paste the spring couplets. The father and son were busy for a long time. The next day, someone passed by his door and found that the spring couplets were actually pasted upside down, so he sang loudly: "Raising a son without teaching is like raising a pig, raising a daughter without teaching is like raising a donkey."

Boss Qian's father was ashamed and hid in the house, not daring to come out. After the spring, he sold a piglet that was growing and developing, and hardened his heart to send his son to school. Unfortunately, Boss Qian's reading was like driving a duck to the shelves. He couldn't read a "Three Character Classic" after half a year. It happened to be a war, so Boss Qian threw away his books and followed a carpenter to learn the craft.

Boss Qian's reading was not good, but his hands were very skillful. In three years, he learned all the master's skills in his stomach. With a skill, Boss Qian's courage grew a lot. He hid from his master and started to take jobs outside. By the time the master discovered that no one was asking for him, Boss Qian's reputation had already spread to the four villages and eight villages. Many families marrying off daughters had to ask Boss Qian to make furniture, especially the dressing table for women. Boss Qian could change the patterns to make them. Others only heard that the furniture was made by Boss Qian himself, not only envious but also hateful. The reason is that Boss Qian is not easily invited.

Although Boss Qian has a skill, he still has to participate in the production team's labor. Boss Qian's hands were not born to hold the hoe handle. As long as he held the hoe handle, he would feel itchy all over, so Boss Qian never made farm tools. But everything that came out of his hands was exquisite furniture. Compared with some things that claim to be art, the things Boss Qian made seemed to have spirituality. One comparison can compare it.

No labor means no work points, and no work points means no rations. Without rations, Boss Qian's family would starve to death. Boss Qian bit the bullet and worked for a few years, almost grinding away all his thoughts. It happened that a cadre from the district government came, who was also a military transfer, and had a daughter to marry off, wanting to accompany the furniture according to the local customs, so he looked for a carpenter everywhere. After hearing about Boss Qian's reputation, he went to Boss Qian's house to invite him personally.

The district cadre came to invite him, and the production team leader naturally did not dare to disobey. Boss Qian's thoughts moved, and he expressed at that time that he could make furniture, but the production team had to make up his work points according to the full labor force, otherwise he would rather return to the cow's butt every day. The production team leader agreed and personally carried Boss Qian's carpenter tools to the district cadre's house, telling Boss Qian to be careful and make the best furniture for the leader's house.

Boss Qian didn't change his face. Knowing that it would take half a year for the district cadre's daughter to marry off, he did things slowly. Anyway, he slept in the district reception house and ate in the district canteen. He did it for three months without worry or effort. All furniture was polished by himself, wiped with sandpaper over and over again, wiped until it was oily and smooth. He bought clear paint and applied it three times. Finally, the merit was complete. The district cadre was surprised and couldn't close his mouth. All furniture was made according to the texture of the tree, plus the reflection of the clear paint, as if a piece of furniture was a tree with branches spread out. If it is not art, what is it?

The district cadre was almost reluctant to accompany the furniture, thought for a long time, and kept Boss Qian to continue to help him make a set. Boss Qian was afraid that the production team leader would not give him work points, so he refused to die. The district cadre was angry, called the production team leader, scolded him indiscriminately, and ordered the production team leader that Boss Qian worked outside, and the work points should be calculated according to two full labor forces, otherwise the team leader's position would be removed.

The production team leader was also a clever person. He agreed at that time and put forward a requirement, saying that Boss Qian worked alone, hard and tired, it is better to send his son to him as an apprentice, and let the apprentice do the dirty work in the future, and Boss Qian only needs to move his mouth. Boss Qian didn't want to accept apprentices, and looked at the district cadre with a look of difficulty. The district cadre laughed and said, accepting apprentices is a good thing! The craft must be passed down, don't wait for Boss Qian to die, and this craft will be lost.

The district cadre said to this point, Boss Qian was not easy to decline. From then on, he took the team leader's son and did furniture in the district committee's families, and did it for three years.

After the district committee cadres' families were full of furniture made by Boss Qian, Boss Qian had saved a little money. Boss Qian's means of saving money were very clever. He usually did work in the district committee auditorium. Some family members of the district committee liked to come to see it when they were idle. Boss Qian would use some leftover materials to make some small and exquisite stools for people. The family members of the district committee were all people who loved face and were not easy to accept without merit, so they found some food stamps and cloth stamps from home and gave them to him. Boss Qian took these tickets to the market and exchanged them all for money. After a few years, he saved a lot of money.

Later, the district cadre was transferred to the county to work and was in charge of infrastructure. He called Boss Qian to form a civilian team to help build houses. Boss Qian was naturally happy, and immediately returned to the village to discuss with the production team leader for a long time, and pulled all the strong laborers in the village to the county town, forming the first civilian team in Chunshan County. That year, Boss Qian's village was the richest village in the whole district. During the New Year, every family killed chickens and caught fish, and every family invited Boss Qian to sit in the upper seat.

After the rural land was contracted, Boss Qian did not divide it, but still cultivated it together collectively.

Boss Qian gave everyone a salary, concentrated the five-guarantee households in the village, let those who could work participate in labor together, and raised those who could not work. Since then, Boss Qian's reputation grew day by day. By the time the district committee cadre was transferred to the city to work, Boss Qian's civilian team was already the largest and most famous civilian team in Chunshan County.

Half of the buildings in Chunshan County from the late 1970s to the early 1980s were made by Boss Qian's engineering team. After the district committee cadre was transferred to the city to work, he called Boss Qian to the city again. Boss Qian's engineering team fought in the city for a few years and stood firm. Now Boss Qian has registered a construction company, and those who fought with him back then have become big and small people in charge.

Boss Qian is well-informed. He came to find Deng Hanyu, naturally there is his reason. His village belongs to the jurisdiction of Chengguan Town, and Deng Hanyu is his parent official. Although he has a company and is somewhat famous in Hengyue City, he is an arm after all. No matter how strong the power is, he cannot twist the thigh.

Boss Qian is rich, but his spirit is not rough.

He heard that there is a highway passing through Chunshan County, and the place where it passes happens to be his village. Such a thing, Boss Qian cannot ignore. You know that building roads and bridges will inevitably destroy land. Land is the lifeblood of farmers. Without land, no matter how much money Boss Qian has, he feels that the ground under his feet is empty. So he wants to come back to find Deng Hanyu and touch his bottom.

These stories were told to me by Boss Qian himself. We talked and drank while talking, and unknowingly drank a bottle of Wuliangye.

Principal Zhang is old after all, and his eyes are dim and he keeps wiping his nose.

I tentatively asked: "Boss Qian, where is this highway from and to?"

Boss Qian turned his face and was full of surprise and said: "Don't you know?"

I smiled modestly and said: "Really don't know."

"From Hengyue City to Hainan Island."

I gave an "Oh" and asked: "Where does it pass through?"

"I don't know the specifics, but I know that three townships in Chunshan County are within the scope. And there are two exits, one in the county town, and I don't know where the other one is."

My heart was hung high. Highway construction? Three townships? Two exits? These messages are something you can't buy with money. I have to find County Head Liu Qimeng. In Chunshan County, after all, I have had a meeting with him, and Director An reminded me that in County Head Liu's heart, I still have some impression.

The door was pushed open, Deng Hanyu staggered in, hugged Boss Qian's shoulder and said: "Boss Qian, I'm drunk."

Boss Qian hurriedly stood up and supported him and said: "Town Mayor Deng, let's go to the sauna to sober up."

Deng Hanyu looked at him with slanted eyes and said: "You want to corrupt me, right?"

Boss Qian smiled humbly and said: "If the sauna can corrupt cadres, I would rather be corrupted every day. It's a pity that I, Old Qian, am just a farmer and have no way to corrupt."

Principal Zhang firmly refused to go to the sauna, saying that he was old and couldn't stand the hands of the massage girl.

Deng Hanyu smiled and said: "Isn't it just a pair of hands? Just treat it as a man's hand."

After saying that, he staggered out the door. We followed him into the car and drove towards the county party committee reception house. ===== CHAPTER 92 =====

Huang Qishan smiled and said, "Isn't it just a pair of hands? Just pretend they are a man's hands."

After saying this, he walked out unsteadily. We followed him into the car and drove toward the County Party Committee Reception Office.
