The autumn wind is blowing, and it's already getting cold.
As soon as the autumn harvest is over, the rural areas are basically idle. The production team is also shouting for work, but this kind of work is the kind of work that everyone commits by being late, leaving early and absenteeism. No matter what, the crops on the private land are the most important, followed by other things.
Like the Jin family, the two brothers of the Jin family have to work in the fields, and Yang Shuhui should also work in the fields, but Jin Yin has retired and he has no land in the countryside. He works for Yang Shuhui and just takes it as a day. The fourth master does not have to work.
Tongtong used to work, but at the seed station, no one was checking attendance, so the production team gave eight work points.
But when the food comes out this year, Tongtong has no plans to take it for himself.
Damin said, "Don't accept it? If you don't accept it, you'll be swallowed up by those bastards in the brigade."
Sanling also said, "Get it! What's not to get? There are so many managers in the brigade, who of their family members have gone to work in the fields? Otherwise, why can't we control people? There are only one or two who don't go to work.
, everyone is taking it, so we are taking it too. If you think it is not good to take it, we will take it ourselves and give one to the five-guarantee households. There is also a family in our brigade that is an orphan, a fourteen-year-old child with a nine-year-old child.
We give it to you in private. This is a favor. It also lets people know that we are not taking advantage. But if you don’t accept it without saying a word, they dare to sign for you. It’s private.”
Lin Yutong said, "Then the third brother will take care of it, so I won't go."
become!
When sharing food and money, Sanling took his nine-year-old child there. There were so many people queuing up, so he said, "How much money can Xiaotong make in a month by copying and writing for others?"
If you give this ration to Xiaofeng, she won't take it."
Don't look weird, and you're not a employed person. If you don't want it, you'd think your in-laws' father, who is an official, is giving him subsidies. Then why not make up a reason and copy it down? Now there really is this industry. Plus he
After reading Xiaotong's handwriting, it looked like the printed word. No matter who I asked to read it, no one dared to say that I couldn't make money with this handwriting in a month.
Besides, people in Yezhou always whisper behind my back, as if they are lazy and greedy.
Are people lazy? If you don't do housework, it's not lazy. You have time to earn money, and the money you earn also gives part of the household income to the family. This is a matter of division of labor within the family. Therefore, he never feels that his sister-in-law does not work.
Everything refers to the problem of relying on one's own mother. My own mother is in good health. Besides, the so-called good life is a day when you don't worry about money. The daughter-in-law here is very good at making money. To a certain extent, it makes the old man's psychological burden less.
Lighter.
Is there anything wrong with this sister-in-law?
As for being greedy, if my income was that big, I would eat whatever I wanted. What happened to the loach? What happened to the mutton soup? It’s only a matter of one or two cents, but it’s not enough to have an occasional meal, right? Half a month’s income
It cost more than two thousand. My dear, let alone one meal once in a while, it’s five meals a day. Is it worth spending even a fraction of what I earn?
This is just something outsiders don’t know!
The fourth couple didn't care much about reputation, but in fact reputation was still very important. He made up a reasonable and legal way to make money. As soon as he said this, someone immediately asked: "Where can I copy the manuscript?"
.”
Yurong, who was queuing at the back, shouted: "For the textile factory, I asked Gao Cheng for a job, what happened?"
Someone joked, "When are you going to eat your wedding candy? It will be soon."
There is a sense of squeeze, and I feel that it will not work if one is in the city or the other in the countryside.
Yurong replied, "Next month! The date is set for next month."
Ouch! This really happened, "Your father transferred your registered residence to the city for you?"
"No, go back to pick up Gaocheng's mom from work."
This is rare.
Someone said: "This woman is still very powerful. She has Gaocheng in her hands. I guess there is nothing she can do about it."
Yeah yeah!
Mumbling and talking about everything.
Some people came to Yurong and asked Yurong, "Is this job still available? How much money can Xiaotong earn in a month?"
Can Yurong tell the truth? She said matter-of-factly, "Twenty yuan a month is enough for her food and expenses."
A pound of wheat is only 18 cents, and a hundred pounds of wheat is only 18 cents. Can a person eat 100 pounds of wheat in a month? No way! So it costs 18 cents to eat in a month. There is still some money left for pocket money.
It is definitely enough to take care of your own expenses.
When you hear that you can earn so much by staying at home without going out, without wind or rain, some people must be very enthusiastic.
Then there was a man named Liu Chenggong, who really took it to heart. This man was as old as the fourth master, and he had a brother. He lived at the entrance of the alley, and his two families were in an alley to the east and an alley to the west. I wanted to go there.
On the street, you have to pass through his door. If he wants to go to the ground, you have to pass through his own door.
There is a distance of 100 meters in the middle, but he upholds his integrity and never hangs out with gangsters like Jin Sihai. Moreover, he is still a high school graduate.
On the night after the food was distributed, people came. When they came, they usually didn’t take people to the place where I and my fourth master lived, because there were two unmarried young men at home. So the house became lively at night.
Middle-aged and elderly men like to talk to Jinyin, and young and upright people come to Damin and Sanling. The Jin family is financially well-off, and if they want to have a drink at the bar in the evening, there is always wine here.
Jinyin bought bulk wine from the winery in the county and put it in a jar. Unless he was doing something serious, he would drink the bulk wine.
Therefore, the home is like a market for people.
This means that in rural areas, people are popular and well-connected. As long as they come to the door, they have to be particularly enthusiastic. But usually it does not hinder Tongtong. He just comes to see the fourth master, and usually talks on the territory of the two brothers. There is also a difference between the men.
You will feel that you can let go. When Liu Chenggong came, of course he went to the men.
This person does not belong to a group of people who like to deal with others. Everyone is not used to it. Sanling gave up his seat and smiled, "Sit down first! Sit down! It's hard to dismiss a customer. If you have something to say, sit down and talk."
"
Wang Gensheng, who had a very good relationship with the fourth master and was a half-hungry person, said, "Isn't this our top student? What? Sitting with us has lowered your worth?"
Liu Chenggong waved his hand, "Go, go, go! Stop pushing people. I'm here for business, I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you."
Sanling interrupted, "If you have something serious to do, sit down and talk!"
Liu Chenggong took out a piece of paper from his pocket. He didn't know which kid had written the reverse side of his homework. He wrote a quote from a great man on it, and then handed it to Damin, "Brother Damin, look at it."
How do you think this word is written?"
Damin also graduated from high school. He took what was given to him and said, "What a good word!" But he didn't know what he meant by asking him to read it.
I’ve read this one and that one, and they all think it’s well written. Most of the people sitting here are illiterate. They can read three to five hundred words, and they can write receipts and IOUs. That’s all they have.
In the eyes of these people, calligraphy is indeed a good calligraphy.
When it was passed to the fourth master, he glanced at it and said, "..." It is what a high school student should look like, nothing more. But I can't say that to others, so I can only nod, "Okay! Well-proportioned structure and good calligraphy."
"
Liu Chenggong took the fourth master's hand away, "You know how to hammer!" He shook the paper in his hand and looked at the fourth master, "At this level, how does it compare with your wife's handwriting?"
Fourth Master rummaged through his pocket and took out a piece of paper, "This is the purchase order written for me this morning. Please check it."
The paper spread out on the table, at first glance, no one dared to say that it was handwritten. No matter how you looked at it, it was printed?
Fourth Master did not criticize others, but said, "Some people are good at regular writing, and some are good at cursive writing. Copying for others may not necessarily be more excellent, but it must be easy for others to distinguish.
"
Everyone knows this, right?
Sanlingxin said, "If I hadn't noticed this, I wouldn't have made up this story. The standard for whether handwriting is good or bad is not clear. But just like printing, no one can be dissatisfied."
Let’s just say this matter has gotten sidetracked here.
It turns out that Liu Chenggong is a very persistent person. He went to the scrap factory to find old newspapers and bought them back. He came to Lin Yutong and asked Lin Yutong: "Do you have any scrap paper?"
As a young man, if he wants to find someone else's wife, of course he won't enter the room.
When you come home, you have to meet the elders first and ask if there are elders around! The same is true when others come. When they see Yang Shuhui in the yard, they call Auntie first and then say: "Auntie, I'm asking Xiaotong to borrow something."
Yang Shuhui then called out: "Xiaotong, what did you want to borrow successfully?"
Lin Yutong stood up and came out, "What is it?"
He just said he wanted to borrow paper and wanted scrap paper.
What you write cannot be given to anyone casually!
Moreover, the writing was useless, so I cut out the blank space at that time. I usually use this to write notes and the like. The other parts with words are used for igniting fire.
But when someone asked for it, Tongtong took out a bunch of blank half-page papers and said, "I have to write something important. I'll get you some good paper."
No! I just use it to practice calligraphy.
For practicing calligraphy? This is a good hobby, better than wandering around with nothing to do.
Liu Chenggong also asked, "What is that...when you practice calligraphy, you practice on it, right?"
Lin Yutong: "..." She didn't know exactly how she practiced it! But the Lin family didn't know either, so she was very calm. Now this question was actually not about how she practiced it, but about the other party.
I think this is the way to go.
But this is false!
That was not the original intention of lying at that time! She had to explain to others, "It takes four to five years or even seven or eight years to straighten the handwriting. This society is developing very fast. More than thirty years ago, computers were all available in the United States.
Yes! When you finish practicing, your workplace will be replaced with computers. Besides, the typewriter is also very useful when watching movies! It’s impossible to make a living by copying."
Liu Chenggong blushed and said: "Nothing is in vain, I just... don't like to fool around!"
If that's the case, there's nothing inappropriate in finding a hobby for yourself to pass the time.
She also praised others: "This hobby is quite healthy."
The person turned around and walked away with the paper, and Yang Shuhui said, "The baby is a good baby, but he is just a jerk. If you didn't go to his house, my God, it looks like a pigsty."
You can tell, the young man is slovenly.
That's how people are. When they hear how you make money, other people will inevitably think: She can do it with her abilities, why can't I?
I went to the provincial capital with my fourth master and sold young corn once, and it seemed like I was making money. Then many people who were brave or had some connections tried their best to go to the county town to sell various agricultural products, but they didn't think that retailing is sometimes not always possible.
make money.
But if we don’t do this once, it will be hard to unite people’s hearts. They would think that Fourth Master has taken advantage of everyone!
Therefore, Fourth Master is really not in a hurry, just wait! Wait and see.
When weekends come, I have some free time, so I can do some work. The fourth master chops the firewood he got back into pieces of the same length at home and stacks them neatly. He also builds an oven under the shed in the yard.
Tongtong said, "It's not the right time for you to build it! It won't even work on a rainy day."
I set up firewood and grilled it dry. It was just about to rain. Sure enough, as soon as it got dark, it started raining.
There won't even be anyone stopping by at night, so let's go to bed early.
Tongtong was sleeping when she heard a "thud" sound and she sat up immediately. There must have been a thief in the yard. Why was there such a movement?
The fourth master was asleep, quite heavy. Besides, if there was really a burglar, could you expect the fourth master? She got up and walked out quietly. But just as she grabbed the door handle, someone knocked on the window, and the sound
In a low voice, "Old Four...Old Four..."
The fourth master raised his hand and turned on the light. He heard someone shouting and thought it was the boss or the third child who had something wrong.
As soon as the light was turned on, Tongtong tiptoed and was about to open the door, when a voice like a ghost came from outside, "Fourth... come out..."
Fourth Master pointed to the top and called Tongtong to come up. He responded, put on his clothes and got out of bed.
It turned out that Wang Gensheng was outside, dripping wet, as if he had rolled out of a quagmire. "Fourth brother, our brothers have got some good stuff. You can quickly borrow the car from your work unit and we can take it to the provincial capital. We can definitely do it."
Sell it for a good price.”
This is a thief again! Come here to find someone to sell the stolen goods to you.
The Fourth Master then asked: "What are you doing again? Didn't I tell you to listen to the radio? Didn't you hear it? They all talked about rectifying social order, don't you understand?"
"You are so timid now! What can you do if you don't notice the ghost?" Wang Gensheng whispered, "It's the cattle from the East Village brigade. We knocked down the old man from the feedlot and led the cattle
It's out, right at the intersection. As long as you get it on the truck, we'll slaughter it on the way. If you have a way to the city, you can sell it right away..."
"This is the collective property of the brigade and an important means of production. If this thing is lost, we will investigate it to the end and it will take less than twenty years to catch it."
Why are you so damn verbose! If you don't leave now and someone finds out, it will be over.
The fourth master said, "Why did you go early when you were doing it? It's midnight. Not to mention that the car is locked in the unit. Even if it's not locked, it won't work. The car is broken and can't be moved!"
How the hell is this going to be fixed?
The Fourth Master first deceived him, "Hurry and return it first, pretend to be drunk and act crazy when someone sees you, and let this matter be revealed. We will talk about the rest later."
Wang Gensheng asked in a low voice, "What about the county town? Can we get a car from the county town? It's only less than one o'clock in the morning, and it's only midnight when we walk to the county town..."
Lin Yutong heard clearly from inside that her relationship was not stolen, but that the thief came to sell the stolen goods! She shouted from inside: "What are you doing? Who are you talking to? You must be muttering behind someone's back."
There's nothing good going on. If you want to talk, come in and be sneaky...don't ask me to catch you, or I'll go find my dad tomorrow! I think you don't want to live this life."
Wang Gensheng didn't need to be urged by his fourth master, and ran away quickly. He slipped and fell in the yard with a thud. Lin Yutong saw this guy running up the wall through the window, and then climbed out again.
So neat!
Lin Yutong looked at the wall. Tomorrow I will put a bunch of glass particles on the wall!
