Chapter 13 Chapter 13 A Sudden Show of Goodwill
At this time, the two of them had already arrived home, so there was no need to be secretive when talking. Han Lin did not avoid the topic and honestly told them what had happened to him today.
Today's commune black market is divided into two. For safety reasons, Han Lin went to the black market he was familiar with.
But after entering, I felt something was wrong. There were quite a few people inside, but some of them didn't look like they were here to buy or sell anything.
Therefore, as soon as he entered, Han Lin became alert.
Han Lin had been in the black market before, so he naturally had some acquaintances.
He didn't plan to stay in the black market for long, so the quickest way was to find someone he knew to sell the golden melon seeds to.
But when he got to the place he was before, the familiar people were not there, and Han Lin felt something was wrong.
While he was still pondering, he heard the sound of chaotic running not far away.
Han Lin didn't want to get into trouble, so he jumped over the wall and prepared to escape using the small path.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he jumped off the wall, another briefcase fell from the sky and landed right in front of Han Lin's hand.
Han Lin didn't know what was in the bag at first, but since the things were in his hands, Han Lin didn't let them go.
It was not until he walked out of the black market that Han Lin opened his briefcase and took a look, only to find that it was full of tickets.
After leaving the black market, Han Lin did not go far, but observed the movements of the black market from the side.
There were actually other people running out after Han Lin, but those people were not as brave as Han Lin. After running out of the black market, they left without looking back.
Only Han Lin was left observing from the side.
Han Lin waited for more than ten minutes before seeing several people wearing red armbands coming out, escorting three people.
Han Lin didn't know those three people, but they looked like the original leaders of the black market.
The black market here was in turmoil, so Han Lin simply went to the black market on the other side.
Although the black market is divided into two, the two places are actually not far apart.
In just a few minutes, Han Lin arrived.
The black market here is in the back alley of a house. You need to enter the house first before you can enter the back alley.
Originally, there would be two gatekeepers at the main gate of the house, and there would be a crack at the side door, so you could get in with a slight push.
It's just that entering through the side door requires luck.
But this time is obviously different.
There was no one guarding the gate of the house, and there was no movement inside.
Han Lin did not go in again, but waited patiently outside again. After seeing two lame people running out from inside, he left the black market again.
"I got a bargain this time, but I'm afraid I won't be able to go to the black market anymore." After saying this, Han Lin lowered his head and sorted out the bills again.
This was the first time Han Lin had seen such a complete collection of tickets. In addition to the common food tickets, meat tickets, and industrial tickets, there were also tickets for bicycles, TV tickets, sewing machines, and radios.
"This ticket dealer has suffered a huge loss this time." Not to mention televisions and radios, a bicycle sells for 120 yuan in a department store, and a bicycle ticket can be sold for at least 100 yuan on the black market.
Among this pile of tickets, there are five bicycle tickets, one TV ticket, three sewing machine tickets and three radio tickets.
If I sell these tickets, I will have a lot more money, but it is obviously not a good idea to sell them right now.
"The black market in the commune is so chaotic, I don't know what's going on in the county town."
The two went to the county town. Although it was a bit chaotic and busy, they also heard other news along the way.
Not only was the head of the commune replaced, but the head of the county was also transferred from above.
"I heard that the top leader of the county was demoted before, but now he has been promoted." There was no one else at home, but Han Lin couldn't help but lower his voice when he said these words.
Yang Dai raised her eyebrows. She had not heard of this news.
In recent years, many cadres have gone to the countryside for reform, and even Huangzhuang Brigade has a few of them. They live in cow sheds, doing the dirtiest and most tiring work every day, and parade around the brigade every few days.
These people have been reformed here for so many years, but none of them has been able to return to the city.
Now that the county magistrate can return to the city after the transformation and immediately become the top leader, there must be someone behind him.
This thought flashed through Han Lin and Yang Dai's minds, and the couple finally chose to extinguish the candles and turn over to sleep.
After all, the position of county magistrate is still too far away from the two of them.
The two are currently just struggling to make ends meet.
If you go to bed late at night, it is naturally impossible to get up early in the morning.
After breakfast, the two went to Han's house to return the bicycle.
When Han's mother saw the two of them, she couldn't help but nag them again, hoping that they would work hard.
But Yang Dai really doesn't like working. Fortunately, she was pretty much the same before marriage. She worked for three days and rested for two days. She didn't listen to anything and Han's mother had no way to deal with her.
Han's father kept Han Lin again. He hoped that Han Lin could pass on his skills so that he would not starve to death in the future.
"The chemical plant in the county is planning to build a new dormitory building soon. You should follow me to the Housing Management Department more often these days." Han's father had a serious face, but when he looked at Han Lin, he showed a little more patience.
Han Lin nodded in agreement. Dealing with the Housing Management Department was more profitable than earning work points in the fields.
Han Lin and Yang Dai actually had the same idea that it was not cost-effective to only earn work points in the Huangzhuang Brigade.
If you want to live a good life in this era, being a worker is the most cost-effective way.
This way, there is no need to hide when buying things at home.
However, the city will not easily recruit workers from the countryside, and dealing with the housing management department in the county is a rare opportunity.
Yang Dai left the Han family and went to elementary school.
Today is the day for the public announcement of primary school teacher recruitment. Although Yang Dai knows that she has no chance, she still wants to go and take a look.
When Yang Dai arrived at the school, there were many people gathered in front of the notice board.
Only two primary school teachers were recruited, so the final results were announced with their names written in large letters.
Although there were many people gathered in front, Yang Dai still saw it at a glance.
The first one was Zhu Qingguo, who had caused a big sensation during the previous trial class, and the second one was a completely unfamiliar name - Xia Ziqing.
Xia Ziqing is not from Huangzhuang Brigade, but an educated youth who just arrived last year.
Everyone gathered around the list and argued, and most of the arguments were about Xia Ziqing.
Before the list came out, not only Yang Dai thought that it was impossible for her to be an educated youth, but most people thought so too.
The primary school of Huangzhuang Brigade has expanded its enrollment. Now, there are not only students from Huangzhuang Brigade, but also students from several neighboring brigades.
Therefore, when recruiting teachers, the surrounding brigades would also be considered, but educated youth were absolutely out of the question.
As a result, the educated youth now became teachers in the brigade primary school, and naturally many people were dissatisfied.
The principal was also very tough, believing that Xia Ziqing was a good seedling and a good teacher, and that the people in the team could not look at the educated youth with the same old eyes.
"The educated youth's household registration has been moved to Huangzhuang Brigade, so they are people of Huangzhuang Brigade." The principal was very prestigious in Huangzhuang Brigade. He stood up to speak for Xia Ziqing and also brought up the household registration issue.
Even if everyone still has opinions in their hearts, they can only be forced to accept them.
Yang Dai stood a little further away, watching the farce reluctantly, and prepared to leave with the crowd and go to the Yang family.
Yang Dai was not planning to go to the job that her father had helped her to arrange. A harmonious family is the key to success. She was no longer the same Yang Dai, so naturally she had to be more sensible than before.
"Yang Dai." A voice came from behind.
Yang Dai originally thought that it would be her mortal enemy and future sister-in-law Wang Lixia.
When he turned around, he found that he had guessed wrong. The person who called him was Xia Ziqing, an educated youth with whom he had no connection.
"Hello, Comrade Yang Dai, my name is Xia Ziqing, nice to meet you." Xia Ziqing stretched out his hand and shook hands with Yang Dai.
"I heard that Comrade Yang Dai submitted an article to the newspaper. I hope Comrade Yang Dai's wish will come true." Xia Ziqing had a big smile on his face and looked very sincere.
Although Yang Dai didn't understand why Xia Ziqing took the initiative to greet her.
But if the other person is warm and friendly, you definitely can't keep a cold face.
The two talked as they walked.
Xia Ziqing quickly explained his origins.
The educated youth came from the big city of Shanghai. Their family members were all workers. There were only four brothers and sisters, so one of them was destined to go to the countryside. Xia Ziqing volunteered to do so.
Xia Ziqing spoke slowly and calmly, but Yang Dai was quite interested in chatting with him.
But he was still confused by Xia Ziqing's goodwill.
Yang Dai thought about it carefully, but still didn't think there was anything about herself that was worthy of Xia Ziqing's appreciation.
But if someone takes the initiative to make friends with her, it will also help her to improve her bad reputation. There is no need for Yang Dai to push this matter away.
When Yang Dai returned to the Yang family, only Yang's mother was there.
"I heard that our brigade is planning to import tractors from the commune. We will definitely need tractor drivers then. Go back and ask Han Lin to prepare them."
Being a tractor driver is definitely better than earning work points in the fields.
"Talk to Han Lin about this matter, and then go back to find your father-in-law. While no one knows about the tractor issue yet, you should settle this matter as soon as possible." Mother Yang was mysterious. Although she was only talking about the plan, she had already made up her mind.
After all, regarding the tractor incident, it was actually Yang's father who took the lead in inquiring about the information.
As for the Han family, the eldest son of the Han family is the accountant of the team, and Han's father is also on good terms with the team leader.
With the joint efforts of both parties, as long as Han Lin doesn't rush to embarrass himself, the tractor driver will definitely not be able to escape.
Han Lin became a tractor driver for the brigade. It was less stressful than working in the fields and his reputation was better.
By then, his daughter would also be working in the commune, and the couple's life would finally be able to get back on track.
As a mother, she won’t have to worry about it every day anymore.
Yang Dai came back this time just to figure out what her mother said about work.
She really can't take this job.
Just as Yang Dai opened her mouth to talk about this, she heard shouting outside the door.
"Yang Dai, Yang Dai, someone is coming to your house, go back and take a look."
"The other party is even driving a tractor, so impressive!"
The messenger came and went quickly.
Yang Dai thought of the person who was sent to the hospital yesterday. She didn't expect that the other party was discharged from the hospital in just one day.
Yang Dai walked quickly back home.
When Yang's mother heard the word "tractor", she naturally did not want to be left behind. At once, everyone from the Huangzhuang Brigade headed towards Yang Dai's house.
