Starting from the Year 1960

Li Xu traveled to the year 1960. In this era, which he had never seen before and only heard about in books and from elders, the only thing he could do was ensure his family had enough to eat and li...

Chapter 590 Enthusiastic

Uncle Sun Da and Uncle Sun Er each have two sons working in the city.

Thanks to the fact that they hand over half of their salary to their family every month, the Sun family's living conditions can be said to be second to none in the entire Sunjiatan.

The children of the Sun family not only have no worries about getting married, but also no worries about finding a husband.

Not only people from this brigade, but also people from other brigade came to propose marriage to the Sun family's children.

This resulted in the Sun family's children getting married very early and the family's population being very large.

As for how early it was, let's put it this way, both Uncle Sun and Uncle Sun already have great-grandchildren...

Fortunately, the Sun family is rich and does not have to worry about housing problems.

Otherwise, dozens of people would be crowded in one yard, with no place to stay.

Since the death of Old Mrs. Sun, only Uncle Sun and his wife, Uncle Sun II and his wife, and the person who is responsible for their care are left in the old house.

This is also where we have our annual gathering.

When Sun Xiu's family and Sun Min's family arrived at the place, they saw that the courtyard gate was full of children. Some of them were fighting, and some were setting off firecrackers. It was very lively.

Some adults in the yard were busy preparing lunch, and they had set up several temporary stoves in the yard for this purpose.

The rest of the adults were sitting in the main room chatting.

After everyone said hello, the children from Sun Xiu and Sun Min's families quickly ran outside to play with the other children.

Li Xu and Li Ping said something to everyone, then carried the gifts and walked straight to the captain's house.

There are also many people at the captain's home. Regardless of whether they know each other or not, the Li Xu brothers will say "Happy New Year" to each other.

When they walked all the way to the main hall and saw the two people, Captain Sun, who was sitting at the top, was stunned at first, then he showed an extremely warm smile and greeted them.

Li Ping and the other two responded, then handed over the gift. Before Captain Sun could speak, they whispered, "Uncle, we have something to talk to you about."

Captain Sun's heart moved, and he stood up and said to the people in the room, "You guys chat first, I'll be back soon. Decheng, come out with me."

A middle-aged man stood up from the stool and followed Li Xu and the other two out.

The four of them walked out of the yard and came to a remote and empty place. Seeing that there was no one around, Captain Sun spoke first, "I heard from Dahei that you two went out to do business. How is your business going?"

The corners of Li Ping's mouth twitched. Every time they heard Captain Sun call their uncle "Dahei", they would feel speechless.

"It's okay, uncle, are you feeling well?"

Captain Sun is over 60 years old this year and he retired from his position as captain a few years ago.

However, because he had held this position for decades, people still habitually called him the captain after he retired.

The current captain of Sunjiatan is his son, Sun Decheng, the man next to him.

"Okay, I think living to eighty shouldn't be a problem." Captain Sun replied cheerfully, then asked, "You said you wanted to see me for something. Did you run into trouble outside and need help?"

Upon hearing this, Sun Decheng's body instantly tensed up and he showed nervousness.

He remembered clearly that during the drought that year, the Li family donated a large amount of food to help their family members.

The old father and the clan members were grateful for his kindness. They not only recorded this incident in their family tree, but also made a promise.

Whenever the Li family needs help, the Sun family will go forward even at the cost of their lives.

The most important thing is that the old father said afterwards that as the patriarch, he should set a good example for the tribe members. If there really is a day when people sacrifice their lives to repay their gratitude, his son, that is, his younger brother, will definitely be among them.

That's why Sun Decheng is so nervous.

He stared at Li Ping and the other man, afraid that they would say "yes".

Li Xu shook his head and said slowly, "I haven't met him yet, but I can't say for sure in the future. The two of us came to your house this time hoping that you can help gather some people. They don't need to work normally, just train at home, and they will be sent out when needed.

Don't worry, I won't treat them unfairly. I'll pay the chosen ones a monthly salary of fifty yuan. If they become disabled or die while working for me, I'll also provide additional compensation. The amount of compensation will definitely allow their families to live a prosperous life."

The Sun family father and son were stunned when they heard this. Isn’t this treatment too good?

To be honest, Sun Decheng was moved.

After a moment of silence, Captain Sun said with a complicated expression, "If you can do what you say, everyone will definitely rush to sign up."

Not only is the salary paid monthly, it is also higher than that of most workers. Even if an accident occurs, there is no need to worry about the livelihood of the family. It is like exchanging oneself for a good future for the family.

Not only rural people, but even workers are willing to do this kind of business.

"You don't know me well enough. When have I ever broken my promise in all these years?"

"That's true, but I have to remind you that even if you don't spend money, the Sun family will do their best to help you solve the problem."

"I know, but I still want to spend it."

Captain Sun gave him a deep look and asked, "How many people do you want, and what are your requirements for them?"

"Ten people, aged between twenty and thirty, who are capable of taking action at a critical moment."

"Besides these, do you have any other requests?"

"Please keep it confidential. This matter must not be known to outsiders."

"Who are the outsiders you're talking about?"

"Outsider."

Captain Sun suddenly laughed. "That's easy. I'll arrange it. Once the people are selected, I'll find someone to train them and improve their abilities, so they don't fail and bring shame to our Sun family."

This was exactly what Li Xu wanted. He grinned and said, "Looks like I have to give you two more paychecks, one for you and one for the instructor."
