Chapter 13: One million households a year

At 7:30 in the evening, Zhou Yang, who was busy in the yard, heard a burst of children playing.
I looked up and found that indeed my father-in-law, mother-in-law and a whole family were here.
The children ran in front and the adults walked behind. Everyone had bowls and chopsticks in their hands.
There is no way, this era is really too poor, every household has limited daily necessities, including dishes and dishes.
Therefore, when there is a wedding or wedding at any house, those who come to the banquet usually have to bring their own bowls and chopsticks.
Take Zhou Yang's family as an example. There are only four bowls and two plates for the three people, as well as two enamel basins.
When a dozen or so people from Lao Li's family came to eat, he really couldn't prepare so many bowls and chopsticks.
Apparently Li Fengnian and others also thought of this, so they brought all the dishes and chopsticks from home when they came.
But when everyone walked into the courtyard, Zhou Yang found that the expressions on their faces were not quite right, as if they were hiding some emotion.
Even Li Youwei was the same, her eyes were red, as if she had just cried.
Although he was a little confused, Zhou Yang didn't think too much and went out to greet him!
"Father, mother, you are here, please sit down!"
"Um!"
Li Fengnian nodded slightly, and then followed Zhou Yang's guidance and sat down at the improvised simple dining table.
Others were not polite and all sat down one after another.
Although Li Youwei felt a little uneasy, she was at her home after all, so she got busy as soon as she entered the door.
Seeing that everyone was here, Zhou Yang immediately brought the enamel basin for steaming rice to the table.
There are no rice cookers these days, and even if there are, they are not affordable for ordinary people, so most rice is cooked by steaming.
In the south, wooden barrels are generally used for steaming, but in the north, most people wash the rice, add water to it, put it in an iron basin, and then steam it in a pot.
When the rice was served, everyone, including Li Fengnian, couldn't help but swallow.
These days, rice is definitely a precious and expensive grain. In addition, rice is not produced locally. If you want to eat rice, you have to buy it from the supply and marketing cooperative.
A pound of rice costs two cents, which is a full five cents more expensive than flour. Usually, only women who are in confinement at home buy some to cook porridge. It is really rare to steam rice in a big pot like this.
However, what was served next shocked them even more.
After a common cold dish, a pot full of braised pork, stewed with potatoes and beans was brought to the table.
The roasted red and soft pork belly, paired with oily potato pieces, is enough to make you eat two bowls of rice.
Both adults and children were staring at the meat basin, unable to move their eyes away.
Zhou Yang quickly fried the last piece of cabbage, took out two bottles of sorghum wine from the room, and sat down at the dinner table.
Seeing everyone looking at him, Zhou Yang felt a little embarrassed and immediately said: "Mom, dad, and brothers and sisters-in-law, please stop sitting around and moving your chopsticks!"
Li Fengqiang coughed, and then said: "Don't be in a hurry to eat now. Don't you have something to say? Let's eat after you finish talking!"
Zhou Yang thought for a while and said: "That's okay!"
Then, Zhou Yang took Li Youwei's hand, looked at his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and said solemnly: "Father, mother! I'm going to go with Xiaowei to testify tomorrow!"
After hearing Zhou Yang's words, everyone was stunned!
They were all waiting for Zhou Yang's last heartless words, but they didn't expect that he was going to testify. Everyone was stunned for a moment!
Li Fengnian asked cautiously: "Is what you are going to announce just to pull evidence?"
"Well! Xiaowei and I have been together for four years, and Bao'er is already three years old. It's time to testify!" Zhou Yang said.
Li Fengnian laughed loudly and said: "I wholeheartedly agree with your request for evidence. Tomorrow I will approve your leave. Go to the commune early and pull off the evidence to save us from worrying!"
"Um!"
At this time, my uncle Li Jianguo let out a long breath and said: "I'm scared to death. I'm just trying to prove evidence. Why are you so formal? I thought you were going to divorce our Xiaowei!"
Zhou Yang suddenly understood why their expressions were so serious just now. It turned out to be a misunderstanding.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yang smiled and said: "How can I get divorced? I have only been widowed in my life, not divorced!"
Then Zhou Yang continued: "The reason why the whole thing is so formal is mainly because I feel that the matter of testifying is a major life event for me and Xiaowei, so it should be more formal!"
"Yes, it's better to be more formal!" Li Fengnian said happily.
Zhang Guiying was still a little uneasy and asked again: "Besides the matter of proving the evidence, is there nothing else?"ъìqυgΕtv.℃ǒΜ
"have!"
As soon as Zhou Yang said his words, the atmosphere became tense again, and everyone's eyes were fixed on him again.
"Don't be nervous, everyone, I'm talking about a good thing!" Zhou Yang said hurriedly.
"What's the good thing?"
Zhou Yang said hurriedly: "Didn't I take a trip to the city two days ago? I found a part-time job there. I may focus on that in the future!"
"What kind of part-time job can I make money for?" my second uncle Li Guoqing asked.
"Translation! I just translate some foreign language materials for the country. It's quite profitable. At least it's better than earning work points!" Zhou Yang answered truthfully.
"Does that mean you have to go to work in the city?"
"No, just do it at home, and then mail the translated manuscript to others, and they will send me the money!"
"How much can you earn in that month?" Zhang Guiying asked.
Zhou Yang shook his head and said: "I don't know yet, but I went there for three days, actually worked for one and a half days, and earned a total of 132 yuan!"
"How many?"
"132!"
Everyone was stunned by Zhou Yang's answer. This number was obviously beyond their expectations.
This is 132 yuan. As the village party secretary, Li Fengnian's salary is less than 300 yuan a year, which is only 25 yuan per month on average.
And Zhou Yang earned 132 yuan in three days... no... it should be said that he earned 132 yuan in one and a half days. This was completely beyond their knowledge!
"This is a legitimate business, isn't it illegal?" Zhang Guiying said worriedly.
Zhou Yang smiled and said: "Mom, I am working for the country, how can I break the law!"
"But the income is too much, more than even state cadres earn!"
"You may not know that there is a serious shortage of translation talents at the national level. I am just getting started. As I work for a longer time and my level increases, I will earn more!" Zhou Yang said.
"Can you earn more?"
"Well, I conservatively estimate that seven to eight hundred yuan a month shouldn't be a problem!"
"My God, wouldn't you be a household worth ten thousand yuan in one year?" Zhang Guiying said in surprise.
"Almost!"
Ten thousand yuan a year sounds like a lot, but judging from the remuneration offered above and Zhou Yang's translation speed, this small goal should be easily achieved.
At this time, Li Fengnian looked at Zhou Yang and said, "So you are planning to stay in the village and not leave?"
Compared with how much money Zhou Yang can earn, Li Fengnian cares more about whether he can be with his daughter. This is more important than whether Zhou Yang can earn money.
Zhou Yang nodded and said: "I don't plan to leave for the time being. If I have a chance in the future, I will leave with Xiaowei and Baoer. If I can't take them away, I will never leave alone!"
"Well, I hope you can remember what I said today!"
"Um!"
........
After the endless coma, Shi Yu suddenly stood up from the bed.
He took a deep breath of fresh air, his chest trembling.
Confused, confused, and all kinds of emotions came to my mind.
Where is this?
Afterwards, Shi Yu subconsciously looked around and became even more confused.
A single dorm?
Even if he was successfully rescued, he should be in the ward now.
And my own body...how could I not have any injuries at all?
With doubts, Shi Yu's eyes quickly swept across the room, and finally his eyes rested on a mirror beside the bed.
The mirror showed his current appearance. He was about seventeen or eighteen years old, and he looked very handsome.
But the problem is, this is not him!
My previous self was a handsome young man in his twenties who had been working for a while.
And now, no matter how you look, this appearance is that of a high school student...
This change left Shi Yu stunned for a long time.
Don't tell him that the operation was successful...
My body and appearance have all changed. This is not a matter of surgery or not, but magic.
He turned into a completely different person!
Could it be...that he traveled through time?
In addition to the mirror placed beside the bed, which was obviously not feng shui-friendly, Shi Yu also found three books next to it.
Shi Yu picked it up and took a look. The title of the book instantly silenced him.
"Essential Animal Breeding Manual for Beginner Breeders"
"Postpartum Care of Pet Pets"
"Evaluation Guide for Interracial Beast-Eared Girls"
Shi Yu:???
The names of the first two books are pretty normal, but what happened to the last one?
"cough."
Shi Yu looked solemnly and stretched out his hand, but his arm soon stiffened.
Just when he was about to open the third book and see what it was about, his brain suddenly felt a sharp pain, and a large number of memories came flooding back.
Icefield City.
Pet animal breeding base.
Intern pet breeder. Provide you with the rebirth of the master Dashang Yue 1975: tearing up the return to the city transfer order at the beginning
