In mid-October, it is still as hot as midsummer here in the south, but in the remote small town of Bishui in the north, it is already late autumn.

People put on their autumn clothes and trousers, and the streets were filled with withered yellow leaves.

But on this day, there was no autumn desolation on the streets of Bishui County. Instead, there were loud gongs and drums, and the Young Pioneers, all wearing bright red scarves, lined up to welcome them.

"Hey, for such a big battle, the higher-ups are going to bring in big cadres, right?"

Many people were talking about it.

Some people who knew the inside story said: "I heard that it is a product of our county. At some conference, it sold a lot of goods and made a lot of foreign exchange."

When the onlookers heard this, their faces felt bright. People at this time had a strong sense of honor.

When Liu Qingshan followed County Magistrate Wang and others out of the station, he was also shocked by the scene in front of him: it was his first time to experience a big scene greeted by thousands of people.

Moreover, there were also young pioneers who presented flowers and saluted. This kind of treatment, tsk tsk...

Anyway, I have never experienced it before, but when I was in elementary school, I once used it as a red scarf to give flowers and salute to others.

Secretary Gao of the county party committee first delivered a passionate speech, then County Magistrate Wang of the delegation spoke, then Zheng Hongqi spoke, and Director Zhou spoke again.

Finally, Liu Qingshan will also talk about it.

Liu Qingshan waved his hands repeatedly, indicating that he was a student and was really not suitable to speak, so he was exempted.

Then, everyone crowded around the delegation to the guest house, just like welcoming the triumphant heroes.

It made Liu Qingshan feel a little dizzy. All the sacrifices and efforts finally came together in two words:

Worth it!

In the guest house, he was naturally drunk. Liu Qingshan was drinking soda, but Secretary Gao force-fed him a glass of Maotai, which scared him and ran away.

Liu Qingshan took a walk outside and felt more comfortable. He could never go back to the guest house. Those were veteran soldiers who had been tested by alcohol. How about being caught by them?

It has been almost half a month since he came out, and now he has one thought:

go home!

No matter how prosperous and wonderful the outside world is, only home is the harbor he always misses.

"Comrade Xiao Liu!"

Suddenly, an extremely eager voice came from behind him. As soon as Liu Qingshan turned around, he was hugged by someone.

Seeing the bright bald spot in front of him, he knew it was Director Guo of the linen factory.

"Qingshan, thanks to you this time, you are a great contributor to our linen factory!"

Bang, bang, bang, Director Guo excitedly slapped Liu Qingshan on the back. Fortunately, Liu Qingshan was a strong and strong young man. If he had had a softer body, he would have made him vomit blood.

Director Guo is so excited, so excited. These days, he often wakes up laughing from his dreams.

And all of this stems from the young man in front of him. Now he finally sees a living person. Do you think he can't help but be excited?

"Qingshan, no matter what, you have to attend our flax factory's celebration party tonight. Those guys are all clamoring to toast you!"

Director Guo finally stopped filming, but made another suggestion that made Liu Qingshan even more panicked.

"Uncle Guo, I just came out to avoid drinking. I'm still a student and can't drink."

Liu Qingshan grimaced and finally broke away from the other party's passionate embrace.

Uh...student?

Only then did Director Guo remember Liu Qingshan's identity, and the smile on his face became even brighter: "Qingshan, our linen factory is going to recruit a group of employees. Are you interested?"

Seeing Liu Qingshan's indifferent expression, he quickly added: "If you come, you will first train in the sales department for a year and then be promoted directly. The position of sales section chief will have been prepared for you long ago."

For an ordinary farmer's boy, this is definitely a piece of cake in the sky: if he can eat the food supply and then become a cadre, he will reach the sky in one step.

Even if the ancestral tombs are not blowing and emitting green smoke, I would not dare to think so.

But Liu Qingshan still declined politely, which made Director Guo feel very disappointed: "Qingshan, I know you are a promising university student, so we will not delay your future, but in the future, you must not refuse to make suggestions in the factory.

!”

While saying this, he also took Liu Qingshan's hand.

Liu Qingshan felt that there was a piece of cardboard in his palm.

Director Guo patted him on the shoulder again: "If anyone in your family is willing to work in the linen factory in the future, just tell Uncle Guo, we are a family, so don't be polite."

After saying that, he waved his hand: "Well, I still have to go in and continue to accompany you. I will probably have to drink again today."

Although he was complaining, the look on Director Guo's face was quite contented.

Speaking of which, Director Guo is also one of the protagonists of this celebration banquet.

When Director Guo entered the guest house, Liu Qingshan looked at the square piece of cardboard in his hand, and then the corners of his mouth turned up involuntarily.

"With this ticket, you can receive a butterfly sewing machine."

Below is the official seal of the First Department Store, and this kind of receipt is obviously received directly without spending any money.

Last time my eldest brother-in-law received the royalties, he wanted to buy a sewing machine for his mother, but he never got the ticket.

When I really wanted to doze off, someone gave me a pillow. Not only did I get a sewing ticket, but it was also a free ticket.

This can be regarded as a small thank you from Director Guo. The price of a sewing machine is higher than that of a Shanghai watch. This thank you gift is considered very important nowadays.

As for giving money, haha, who has the courage these days?

He put the sewing ticket into his pocket and patted it with satisfaction. With this thing, my mother no longer had to light a lamp and burn oil to mend their clothes and pants by hand.

Liu Qingshan was feeling happy when he saw another person staggering towards him, looking at the iconic lees nose, he saw that it was Li, the boss of the winery, who had not run away.

"Uncle Li, your ability to drink is not good, how can you not smoke out every day?"

Liu Qingshan smiled and said hello, knowing that the highlight was coming.

If the sewing machine just now was just an appetizer, then now is the real meal.

"Qingshan, help me out first."

Old Li leaned directly on Liu Qingshan's shoulder and spoke softly.

Although he smelled of alcohol, he didn't seem to be out of his mind when he spoke.

Liu Qingshan pretended to be holding him up, and the two of them left the guest house together and found a secluded place. Only then did Old Li stop.

At this moment, the other person stopped shaking, and his eyes were no longer blurry. The way he looked just now was definitely just an act.

"Qingshan, on behalf of the workers in the factory, thank you!"

Old Man Li grabbed Liu Qingshan's hands and shook them vigorously a few times, and then the expression on his face became tangled.

After struggling for a while, he stamped his foot and said apologetically: "Qingshan, I can't forgive you this time!"

Liu Qingshan just looked at him with a smile, which made Old Li feel even more ashamed: "Qingshan, there has been too much noise this time. Our winery cannot cash in the money we originally promised you."

Of course, Liu Qingshan already knew this: if you buy a bottle of wine for three yuan more, if you buy more than 10,000 bottles of wine, it will cost tens of thousands of yuan.

Of course, the amount of transactions at the Canton Fair must directly withhold foreign exchange, convert it into RMB, and then return it to various places.

This money has to be transferred to the account, and the difference is not even a penny. If the winery really wants to give Liu Qingshan tens of thousands of dollars, I'm afraid it will cause an uproar immediately.

As for the agreement initialed by both parties, that thing is actually little more than scrap paper now.

After Big Old Li finished vomiting his bitterness, he looked around for a while, and then he leaned into Liu Qingshan's ear and said: "I, Big Old Li, am not a person who crosses rivers and burns bridges. Qingshan, you have pointed out a way for us to make money.

If you don’t know how to repay gratitude, are you still a human being?”

After saying that, Old Li looked around again and lowered his voice: "Uncle, let me tell you, there is a small treasury worth two thousand yuan in our factory, and it belongs to you!"

Factories at this time usually had their own small treasury. If Mr. Li could do this, he really didn't treat Liu Qingshan as an outsider and he sincerely expressed his gratitude.

"Qingshan, I have to go back and drink with you. I have to get them all drunk today. You'd better go to our winery in the evening and get that done."

After saying that, Old Man Li patted Liu Qingshan on the shoulder, and then returned to the guest house. As soon as he entered the gate, he staggered and started to wander again.

Liu Qingshan is not a greedy person. If he can earn 2,000 yuan from this trip, he has already exceeded the task. Not to mention, he also received a sewing machine.

By the way, there is also a camera, which should be considered one of the gains.

These are all visible and tangible, as well as connections, which also need to be accumulated continuously.

In fact, his gains were more than that. In the afternoon, Liu Qingshan received many more thank-you gifts intermittently.

One box of milk powder was sent by the dairy factory, one box of soft white sugar was sent by the sugar factory, and two boxes of Bishui Daqu and two boxes of medicinal wine were used by Da Lao Li to hide from others...

In addition, there is also a reward of 200 yuan from the county, as well as the most important spiritual reward:

Model worker!

Although the Model Worker Commendation and Awards Conference will be held at the end of the year, Liu Qingshan has already reserved a spot in advance.

There are a lot of things, and Liu Qingshan will definitely not be able to take them back by himself. Although the bicycle is still parked at the guest house, it will definitely not be able to carry it. A sewing machine alone cannot be brought back with a bicycle.

With no other choice, Liu Qingshan could only ask Big Lao Li for help and went to the transportation company to temporarily transport two Jiefang vehicles.

Of course, the purpose was not just to get his private goods, but also to transport two trucks of distiller's grains back.

Mr. Li patted his chest and promised: From now on, we will take care of enough distiller’s grains!
