Chapter 76 Endless Talk
Wangou Village.
Dormitory of the brigade primary school.
Fang Yan and Zheng Tao both felt a little dizzy at this time. This situation was completely different from what they had heard.
They also have relatives who went to the countryside to work in the fields. They would go home during the Chinese New Year and talk about this topic when they get together. They both know that their older brothers and sisters are already workers, and their younger brothers and sisters are still young and cannot go to the countryside.
The task of going to the countryside to work in the fields must have fallen on them, so they knew a lot about this aspect.
They all said that the team leader treated the newly arrived educated youth coldly because they did not do much work but ate a lot, and if one more person joined, they would get more food rations. However, the old educated youth were quite nice to the new ones because they all had no relatives in the countryside, so as long as the educated youth did not have any particularly unsociable personalities, they all got along well.
After all, people sleep on the same bunk bed and eat from the same pot, so there is a bond between them.
But when they came here, the situation was completely opposite. They didn't have to go to the educated youth compound anymore. They even ate at the team leader's house. They said they would go there to eat during this period and learn how to use the wood stove. Once they learned how to use it, they would be allowed to cook by themselves.
After discussing for a while, the two decided to go to the educated youth compound and share the things they brought with everyone. After all, they were unfamiliar with the place and would have more common topics with the educated youth.
area.
East City.
Garment factory canteen.
At this time, Tu Jiao and Director Li also held a welcoming banquet. Not long after, Fang Zhengnan also rushed over, accompanied Li Dequan to drink a few glasses of wine and chat for a while, then left in a hurry.
Seeing that his daughter and daughter-in-law had moved into the garment factory dormitory, Li Dequan felt much more at ease.
He didn't chat much with everyone at the dinner table. He just kept telling Li Fang and Peng Yiju to work hard and ask Zhang Jing if they didn't understand something.
After the meal, Li Dequan became familiar with everyone.
"Director Li and Director Tu, this is a small gift from the captain. I hope you don't mind it."
Zhao Yi handed the maltose that Li Dequan had given him to the two of them.
"How can we take these things? We also want him to take care of Xiaoyan and Taozi."
After some excuses, not only did Zhao Yi not send away his things, he also received a lot of things.
When leading Li Dequan to the guesthouse, Li Dequan refused to accept the things Tu Jiao and the others gave him. Zhao Yi had no choice but to take them all home and enjoy them himself.
"Boss, you robbed the supply and marketing cooperative?"
Zhang Jing saw Zhao Yi walk into the house, carrying a lot of things, big and small, with his hands so full that he couldn't hold anything.
"Don't mention it. These are things that people can't give away and won't take back. There's no choice but to give them to the two of us. We'll eat them all up."
Zhao Yi said jokingly.
"By the way, pick some of these things and take them with you. Ask Peng Yiju and Li Fang to give some to the workshop director and their masters."
Zhao Yi picked out some gifts and said.
“They came to the region and entered our factory?”
Zhang Jing was a little surprised.
"Director Tu and Director Li wanted their children to have a better life, so that they could do less farm work in the countryside and not go hungry. This would trouble Captain Li, who wanted his children to work in the city. They hit it off and each got what they wanted.
It actually allowed me to earn a lot of benefits in the process.
By the way, did Lao Wu come to see you today? ”
Zhao Yi looked at Zhang Jing and asked.
"He came here at noon and put a lot of pork here. He said you agreed with him that it would be fifty cents a pound. I borrowed a scale from the department store and weighed a total of sixty-five pounds of meat, and gave him the money."
Zhang Jing said.
What Zhao Yi told Zhao Laowu was that he wanted him to buy pork from Qixingao and bring it into the area at 40 cents per pound. Zhao Yi would make the other party earn 10 cents per pound of meat.
Not to mention a profit of 1 cent per pound, even if Zhao Yi said that a pound of meat was only 2 cents, Zhao Laowu would be able to do it quickly.
He didn't want to do such a thing, but many people were willing to do so because they knew Zhao Yi was helping him.
early morning.
Zhang Jing walked into the factory carrying bags of various sizes.
When I arrived at the workshop, I saw the workshop director leading Li Fang and Peng Yiju into the workshop. Then Zhang Jing stood up and waved with a smile.
The two didn't dare to come over.
"You are acquaintances. I remember Zhang Jing seemed to be from Linkou Commune."
When the workshop director saw that it was Zhang Jing, he didn't frown but just smiled slightly.
"I am a member of a team."
Li Fang said.
"Go and have a chat and say hello. I'll see which master I can arrange to take you there."
The workshop director walked around the workshop and finally chose the temporary worker who had an accident at the steel plant to teach Peng Yiju the craft. Then he took Li Fang to Zhang Jing's side and asked Zhang Jing's former master to teach her.
"Talk less and work more, and strive to be recognized as a model worker."
The workshop director stopped beside Zhang Jing and said.
"Um."
Zhang Jing nodded.
As soon as the workshop director left, he started chattering with Li Fang again.
At noon, Zhang Jing handed the gifts she brought to the two people and led them to the workshop director's office. Seeing Zhang Jing leading the two people in, both of them had gifts in their hands, the workshop director smiled, accepted the gifts and told the three of them to hurry to eat.
Then he also gave a copy to the two men's master.
Li Fang and Peng Yiju’s food supply was directly transferred to the garment factory. They didn’t have to cook for themselves and could just eat in the canteen every day.
Zhang Jing's food supply was provided by the street office, so she had to go home to cook for herself or take food coupons to the canteen to get food.
Zhang Jing had food coupons in her hand, which were bought by Zhao Yi on the black market. Occasionally, Zhao Yi would take Zhang Jing to a state-owned restaurant for dinner and buy some to keep at home.
The three of them finally met today so naturally there were countless topics to talk about.
At noon, Zhao Yi returned home from get off work. He cooked dinner and waited for a while but didn't see Zhang Jing. He knew that this girl had endless topics to talk about with people from her hometown at the factory, and she would definitely not come home for lunch.
From the garment factory, Zhang Jing followed the two back to the dormitory. They were still chatting about things in the village. Zhang Jing asked about things in the village and the two answered.
The two asked Zhang Jing about the factory matters.
Li Fang and Peng Yiju were extremely excited about their first job. It was much more interesting than working in the village, and they also got paid.
Wangou Village.
When Zhao Laowu returned to the village, he went to the cowshed. The task of purchasing Su Hong fell on Zhao Laowu, and he was paid 50 cents for each trip.
Now that fishing doesn't require help from others, Zhao Yi has already taught Su Hong, saving her a lot of money.
Naturally, Su Hong was also taught the skills of frying loaches. This girl didn't make money from this, but just wanted to improve the food problem for those people.
"I was saying that your brother Yi doesn't need anyone to worry about him. Look, he's now a worker. Aren't you envious?"
Su Hong joked.
"I'm not envious, that's because Brother Yi is capable. You know the radio, my brother Yi is now the master of repairing this."
Zhao Laowu said proudly, as if he was the only one who could repair the radio.
