Chapter 86 Meeting the Family
Now we still do collective labor, so I said hello to the production team leader and left early.
When we go back to record work points, they will also be recorded according to the proportion of labor hours.
At this moment, Xiaogang Village in Anhui Province has implemented the household contract responsibility system under the leadership of 18 village cadres.
But it will not be promoted nationwide until they have a bumper harvest this year.
Here, it should start from next year. It is considered a relatively early batch! It
will take until the "No. 1 Document" on New Year's Day in 1982 to officially implement the household contract responsibility system in the form of a red-headed document.
Reform and opening up are like crossing the river by feeling the stones, and it is really a step-by-step process.
This is true for agriculture, and the same is true for business.
Fang Mingche said, "Mom, Dad, brother and sister-in-law, I'm back."
Fang's father nodded, and then said, "Shufen, stir-fry some cabbage with crispy whistles in the evening. And stir-fry a plate of chive eggs."
This is an extra dish, and it can be regarded as a welcome for the youngest son. After all, he is back to take the college entrance examination!
Fang's mother went into the house to take out the crispy whistles and eggs.
The Fang family also tried the planned economy, and she was in charge of all the materials. These two items are considered relatively precious.
Yuan Shufen took them and placed them on the chopping board. Then she said, "Mingche, I'll boil some hot water for you. It's more comfortable to take a bath in this hot weather."
The brother-in-law went on a long trip, and he came back from the capital. He will definitely bring something for her children.
I just met Fang Jian on the road. He said that his second uncle bought him new clothes and brought delicious food.
"Thank you for your hard work, sister-in-law."
Fang Mingche took out four big bills from his trouser pocket, "Dad, this is the money for the next four months."
Fang's father knew that his stall business was not bad, so he took it directly.
He directly saved the 500 yuan from selling work points into a fixed deposit. It was for emergency use and was not used for daily life. It
was just to earn work points, and the family still lived a very hard life, just enough to fill their stomachs.
Fang Minghua said, "I heard that you can earn hundreds of dollars a month from setting up a stall?"
They heard people talking about this on the way back.
Fang Mingche nodded, "Yes, after all, Tiananmen Square has a large flow of people. It's completely a case of small profits
but quick turnover. But my rent is fifteen yuan a month. Besides, I'm busy outside all day, and I don't have time to cook. I always eat out." Fang Minghua said, "Then you can't save much, it's probably about the same as when you were teaching before. And things in the capital should be much more expensive than here, right?"
Fang Mingche nodded.
Fang's mother came over and pinched his arm. It's okay, a lot stronger. It seems that he didn't suffer outside.
She asked, "Where's Yanyan?"
"She lives with Ayan at her grandparents' house." Now
that he's gone, the mother and daughter naturally don't have to stay in the small side yard.
Anyway, there's nothing valuable at home, so they just took the passbook and a change of clothes and moved in.
Zhu Dahai has the key to the warehouse room and will go out to the stall every day.
As for the room they live in, just lock it.
Fang's mother asked, "Why is the house you rented so expensive?"
"It has to be close to Tiananmen Square, just one kilometer away. Otherwise
, how can we get water on the way?" Yuan Shufen said, "It's so close that we can walk there."
"Yes, when you come to Beijing to play next time, you can walk to Tiananmen Square."
Fang Minghua said, "Where is the time? And it costs a lot of money on the way. However, we often take out the photos you sent back to look at. It seems that Yanyan has gained some weight, and her complexion is very good."
You can see it from the color photos. He is really willing to spend money!
Fang Mingche smiled, "That didn't cost anything. The photographer wanted to use the photos of our family of three to attract business, so he gave us six photos for free."
As they were talking, the three siblings came back. The basket of pig grass was still on Fang Fang's back.
Fang Fang was particularly happy to see her second uncle, "Second uncle, you're back!"
Only her second uncle and second aunt treated her the same as her brothers in the family.
"Yes. Oh, by the way, I bought clothes for the three of you. Put them on later, and I'll take you three to the town to take a photo."
Fang Fang was given a navy skirt, and Fang Jian and Fang Kang were also navy uniforms. They also each had a sailor shirt.
This is a very fashionable outfit in the capital, let alone here.
The three siblings were particularly happy to get the new clothes and tried them on themselves. They basically fit, at most a little bigger.
"Thank you, second uncle!" The voice was particularly sincere!
"You're welcome! You don't have to be so polite to Second Uncle and Second Aunt."
"Yes, thank you Second Aunt too."
Fang Minghua said, "Why buy them three sets of clothes? Just buy one set, the older one can wear it and then the younger one can wear it. Children grow up fast, it's not cost-effective to sell new ones."
Fang Mingche said, "I have been wearing your old clothes since I was a child. When I was a child, I always wanted to wear new clothes."
"I also picked up my cousin's old clothes. Do you think what I wear is first-hand?"
Fang Mingche said, "So, buy them each a new set of clothes. They must have worn a new set of clothes when they were young."
He also gave his parents the Donkey Rolls, Aiwo Wo, etc.
He also took out two vacuum-packed roast ducks.
In this weather, only vacuum-packed ones can be brought back. Otherwise, they would have gone bad! But we have to eat them quickly. The shelf life is only a few days.
"We'll eat one tonight, and send the other to Brother Mingfeng's house later."
Fang Jian ran over, "Uncle, is this the legendary BJ roast duck?"
Fang Mingche laughed, "Yes, this is the legendary BJ roast duck. Uncle will take a bath and come out to teach you how to make it."
Such a famous dish, of course, the whole family has heard of it.
Father Fang couldn't help but ask, "How much is it?"
"More than ten yuan. It's rare for me to come back, so I'll bring it to you to try."
Yuan Shufen said, "Mingche, the bath water is hot. You three, put your new clothes away and wear them after taking a bath."
Fang Minghua said, "You can wear them when you go out to visit guests."
Fang Mingche said, "I bought them according to their current age. How often do you visit guests? If you only wear them when you visit guests, you can't wear them after a few times. This summer is the time to wear them, so wear them after taking a bath. Tomorrow, Uncle will take you to the town to take pictures. Then go to the tailor to make a replacement for each of you."
Yuan Shufen said, "It's too expensive!"
"It's okay, how often do I come back?"
The three children were very happy. Having two sets of new clothes to wear in rotation means having new clothes to wear every day.
But Fang Fang thought about it and realized that she had to work, and she certainly couldn't wear new clothes when working. It would be a pity if they got dirty or torn!
Fang Mingche went into the house to get some clean clothes and went to take a shower. Fang Jian said sincerely: "Second uncle is back, which is better than the New Year." Fang
Minghua said: "It seems that life as an illegal resident in the capital is not difficult."
Fang's father said: "He has read so many books and his mind works quickly. He shouldn't have a hard time wherever he goes. As for you, you should just stay at home and farm."
Fang Minghua was a little unconvinced. Isn't it just serving tea and water? What can't he do?
Two people earn hundreds of dollars a month, which is much better than digging for food in the soil.
