In this era, remote villages had not yet been connected to tap water.

If you want to eat water, you have to go to the old well next to the village to carry the water back, and then pour it into a large tank to store it.

The water cannot be drunk immediately, it is very turbid and needs to be soaked for a while to let the sediment fall, and the water tank must be cleaned every few days.

"Uncle, I'll go with you." Seeing that the uncle took a shoulder pole in the yard and was about to carry the water, Zhang Shang said.

"Let's go." Zhang Zhiguo was very happy, with a glory shining on his face, just like the county magistrate was going to carry water with you. Is it a big face?

Zhang Hui looked outside through the window and wanted to play with her, but hesitated for a while. Maybe she felt that the weather was cold, and she was wearing new clothes and white boots, and was afraid of being dirty when walking on dirt.

Zhang Shang held two white iron buckets in his hand, put his hand in his sleeve, and walked side by side with his uncle.

"How is it in the mine? Can you hold on?"

Zhang Zhiguo held the shoulder pole against the back shoulder, and took the iron hooks at both ends of the shoulder pole with his left and right hands to prevent it from shaking and hitting people. There was a faint expectation in his words.

"It's okay, Hongya Coal Mine has stabilized, and the rest will have to be discussed after the New Year."

"I heard about your affairs. All the mine managers under Zhu Heijin are not simple people. You have to be careful and never force them to do so, so as not to force them into a desperate situation and cause harm to their family."

"Well, I understand, just take it slow, I'm not in a hurry anyway."

"You are amazing now." Zhang Zhiguo was jealous and asked, "Are you making any amazing friends?"

"A lot of people have asked me for dinner, but I am too lazy to deal with them. I can push them if I can, or I will let others go for me and I am too lazy to go out for socializing."

"..." Zhang Zhiguo opened and closed his mouth, hoping to teach his nephew how to behave and make more friends.

But then I thought about it, I was qualified to teach others before, but now... you guide me just like a mouse to persuade the cat, and Yelang is arrogant and not qualified.

"That..." Zhang Zhiguo hesitated a little embarrassedly, gritted his teeth and said, "My uncle, please ask you for something."

Zhang Shang was stunned, "Master, you said, I will definitely help if I can."

"Oh... Isn't your brother Zhang Fu taking the postgraduate entrance examination? He doesn't do his job well all day long except eating, drinking and having fun, so he will definitely not be able to pass the exam. The old man wants you to find a relationship to get him a graduate degree, and if he can, he will find a better university to graduate from graduate school and find a job."

"This..." Student Zhang was embarrassed. I am only a high school student. If I help others get a graduate degree and then go to college for nothing, how can I get such great ability?

But since my uncle has asked you, there is no room for rejection of this matter. It will be successful, and it will be successful even if it fails.

It’s not that Zhang is very proud of his face, but his uncle has been close to him since he was a child. He gives him 50 yuan in New Year’s money during the New Year.

A few years ago, the Zhang family was poor, and my uncle also helped me every now and then. People have a striking role in their hearts, and right and wrong are in mind.

"If it's difficult, forget it." Zhang Zhiguo saw that his nephew didn't speak, and knew that he was making things difficult for the child. The coal mines and the education industry were not in line with each other, and the journey was like a mountain.

Zhang Shang: "When will Brother Zhang Fu take the postgraduate exam?"

"I finished the exam in January, and my grades have not yet come out, so I definitely didn't pass the exam." Shaking my head and sighed, fucking her heart with her incompetent son.

"I'll ask someone to ask, it's probably OK. He's more proficient in these things." Zhang Shang said, thinking about Ma Chengpeng in his mind. Lao Ma must have done a lot of things.

"Okay, thank you first." Zhang Zhiguo smiled, his eyes full of relief.

Zhang Shang also smiled and was sincerely happy.

Arrive at the well.

There is a very thick wooden pillar horizontally on the head of the well, and a hemp rope that is thick with thumbs on it. There is a hook at the end of the rope. The bucket lift beam is stuck in the hook, and then shake the shaker at one end of the wooden pillar and put the bucket down.

After getting two buckets of water, the two of them took turns to carry it, walked for a while, and took back the two buckets of water.

Zhang Zhiwei was stirring the coal slime with a shovel in the yard.

The stove at home does not require honeycomb coal. The house is big and it is not good to keep heating. You have to use soil and powdered coal, add water, mix it together, mix it evenly, fill it in the stove, and burn it slowly.

In the 1960s and 1970s, those who could afford honeycomb coal were all wealthy families, and ordinary people could only buy coal powder.

Because the price of pulverized coal is cheaper than that of coal, then shovel some fine soil from the ground and mix it with pulverized coal, which is cheap and affordable.

However, this kind of coal slime is difficult to handle. Every time it is filled into the stove, ashes are flying all over the sky, like a volcano erupting, soaring into the sky from the fire, making the house smoky and choking.

"Dad, I'll do it." Zhang Shang felt very fresh and rushed to work.

Zhang Zhiwei handed him the shovel, put his hands on his waist, and was a little gasping...

Since becoming a big boss, he has never done these meticulous work. In nearly two years, Lao Zhang has gained a little weight.

Zhang Shang shoveled up the coal slime with a shovel, turned his head and put it down, and stirred it up. He was so tired that he got all the coal slime in the house, afraid that it would be hard to freeze.

There is a small clay tank next to the stove, with the upper body broken and the lower head just for slime.

After doing this, a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on his body, and he sighed that he was weak...

I think when I was in a black hole, I could work without rest all day, probably because the atmosphere and environment were unstoppable.

"Look at Zhang Shang, this is so easy to work." The aunt was a little unhappy and shouted to Zhang Fu, who was still playing with his cell phone: "I know how to play with my cell phone all day long. I can't even wash a bowl or drag the floor. How can you live if you find a wife in the future?"

"I'm responsible for making money and letting her work." He said without raising his head: "I'm only in my twenties, and it's useless to do these trivial things all day long."

The aunt was so angry that she was holding back her temper when she saw others.

Zhang Zhiguo was so angry that he was worried about it. I was worried about it and thought of a way out for you. If you were good, you were not good at all, and your temper was rising. "What else do you want to do? You are twenty-four years old every day, and you live like a three-year-old child."

He scolded him until his grandfather couldn't stand it and shouted "upset" and his uncle stopped.

Zhang Fu was still very afraid of him and didn't dare to say anything back quietly, but everyone saw the disregard on his face.

Classmate Zhang was a little speechless...sighed. Maybe all the children in our country are like this. Anyway, he had experienced this in his previous life.

After staying at home for a long time, parents always have to say a few words to you before they can be content.

But, this person on the bed is really a bit useless.

...

at the same time.

A luxurious villa with a European style decoration style looks majestic, and the carved dragons in the hall support the sky pillars will cost hundreds of thousands.

Yan Gengsheng held a thick stack of information in his hand and read carefully in reading glasses.

"Dad, what are you looking at?" Yan Manni came down from the second floor and asked with familiarity on his father's shoulder.

"Study the enemy's data."

"Oh, look at what you said. This is not the era of war. How could there be such an enemy?

"I have to prepare for the future, otherwise the deposed prince will go crazy and your father, the mine manager, will have to change his position in the evening."

"Then have you thought of a solution?" Yan Manni knew that he could be a rich second generation, and everything in this family was related to the word "mining manager".

This is not just a management position, but also a symbol of authority, wealth, and status.

In the eyes of relatives and friends, Yan Gengsheng is a coal boss, a successful person in the eyes of others, and a darling of the times. His friends are everywhere and will be respected wherever he goes.

"Dad." Hesitated and said, "Actually, even if you don't become a mine manager, you can open a coal mine by yourself based on your past relationship, right?"

"If you can't open it, Zhu Xinning is not allowed to do it. He has made rules. We old brothers are not allowed to rely on his relationship to do the coal industry. As long as you leave your post, you will not be allowed to enter the coal circle for life."

"Why is he?" Yan Manni was dissatisfied.

"By he is Zhu Heijin, the myth of the coal world, you can be banned with just one word. Miao Kebang is in charge. He also said that no public unit is allowed to approve us to open a coal mine, and one will be investigated."

"What are you going to do?"

"I paid 200,000 yuan to buy this information, of course the money cannot be spent in vain." After a pause, he looked back at his daughter and said, "It depends on you whether it will succeed."

"Look at me?" Yan Manni was stunned and then woke up. Could it be that I wanted me to seduce the deposed prince?

He blushed and said shyly: "That... the deposed prince in your mouth is handsome?"

"..." Yan Gengsheng looked dark. He was Zhu Xi's object and Zhu Xinning's future son-in-law, would you seduce him?

Maybe Lao Zhu has to put you and me in the ground first...

"You are not going to seduce him, but looking for his cousin Zhang Fu, his uncle's son."

"Cousin?" Yan Manni glared. The relationship was so different that it was 100,800 miles away. Relatives said they were kinship and were far away. There was no way to hit a single stroke of eight poles.

"Yes, Zhang Shang used to be very poor, and he only made a fortune in the past two years. His uncle Zhang Zhiguo has been nice to him since he was a child. Moreover, Zhang Zhiguo is the section chief of the Fenxi Mining Bureau and will surely make a fortune in the future."

"Just a section chief, how do you conclude that he will be developed?"

"The deposed prince is someone else's nickname. Do you really think that he is a deposed?" After a pause, he walked around the house and said, "It's been the New Year, look at it. This kid will sooner or later get rid of a few mine managers. The empty space must be stuffed with his own people. He has a shallow foundation in the coal circle and has few acquaintances. There are too few people to choose from, so he must rely on Zhang Zhiguo to help him."

"But..." Yan Manni said anxiously: "Even if my cousin and I become boyfriend and girlfriend, what's the use?"

"If you don't look at monks and Buddha's faces, if your uncle is holding on, even if your father makes some mistakes, he won't be embarrassed. Besides, it's good to find someone who is a good match to marry."

"Can I choose not to go?" Yan Manni mustered up the courage to look up and face her father.

"You can't go." Yan Gengsheng sighed and said, "It's just that your father will be buried in the soil or have nothing. Do you think about what kind of life you will live?"

"this……"

Yan Manni did not eat or drink in the house, thought about it all day long, and resolutely broke up with her current poor boyfriend.
