The Second Brigade, like Dongjiangyan, also calculates work points in winter. It divides the food first, and then divides the money after all the sticks and mallets are sold.
It happened to be the second day of the Gregorian calendar year, and the team notified every household to go to the team headquarters for a meeting to collect money.
There are three people in Xu Shiyan's family, and only Xu Shiyan works. However, he has a high work score and many days.
From the first month of the first lunar month to the end of the winter lunar month, it was considered work.
In addition, the state-owned first field, the commune field, and several brigades also settled the work points or wages that should be paid to Xu Shiyan.
So even though there was only one person, he shared more than 300 yuan.
Xu Chenghou was very happy to learn that his son had received so much money.
Zhou Guilan didn't say anything, and just rummaged through the grains that she brought over to find sticky corn, rhubarb rice, etc., and found a vat to soak half of it. She planned to use the sticky fire spoon.
Now the old couple lives in Lao San’s place, and all the food they eat comes from Lao San’s house.
Even if the second brigade was rich and had a lot of food and money distributed among them, they still couldn't help several people eating like this.
Since they have been together for a while, they can't afford not to give out any food.
Other times, Su Anying wouldn't let Zhou Guilan use the couple's rations, so Zhou Guilan could only soak the rice, wrap it with a fire spoon, and eat it as a family.
When he got the money, he handed some of it to Su Anying, and Xu Shiyan picked up the rest and said, "Daughter-in-law, I have to go out for something."
Xu Shiyan planned to go to the venue to visit Han Wenzhong.
The two of them were masters and apprentices in their previous lives. Mr. Han taught Xu Shiyan a lot. I am afraid that there will be no master-student relationship in this life, but Xu Shiyan still wants to make friends with the Han family.
Once the relationship is good, you will have the opportunity to repay the kindness from your previous life.
Xu Shiyan couldn't tell Su Anying in detail about these things.
I can only tell her that I met an old man in a ginseng field who had a bad temper, and he wanted to ask him to help him get a few more dogs.
Su Anying never cared about these things. Xu Shiyan was a serious person, and he was not out to eat, drink, have fun, or make money to look for women, so there was no need to worry too much.
He just asked Xu Shiyan to buy something. It was his first time and he couldn't be empty-handed.
Xu Shiyan wandered to the store first and bought two bottles of wine, two cans, and a pack of snacks.
The Han family are hunters and they are also watching the game in the mountains. The Caozi River is closer to Changbai Mountain, and there must be a lot of prey. There is no shortage of game.
Besides, it’s your first time to go home, so you have to get something decent. It’s better to buy something from the store that looks good on you.
The state-run No. 1 stadium is located to the east of Donggang Commune, next to the first team, and the area is not small.
The Han family is located at the east end of Yicanchang, with six large tile-roofed houses and a large and spacious yard.
Xu Shiyan had been here countless times in his previous life. He was very familiar with it and found the place easily.
As soon as I entered the gate, I heard the dog barking in the yard.
Mr. Han is a well-known gunner in the field, and the dogs he raises are also very powerful. When a stranger comes in, he can't wait to pounce on him and bite him.
"Is Uncle Han at home?" Xu Shiyan did not walk in rashly, but stood at the door and shouted.
The people in the house heard the noise and came out to check. They found that they didn't recognize the person coming, "Who are you looking for?"
"Is she the Han family's sister-in-law? I'm here to see Han Wenzhong, Uncle Han. Is he at home?"
At this time, most of the people watching the ginseng had gone down the mountain, and Xu Shiyan guessed that Mr. Han would be at home.
"I'm at home, I'm at home, come in quickly." The person who came out was Liu Chunhua, Han Limin's daughter-in-law.
When he heard that the visitor was looking for his old man, he quickly stopped the dogs and stopped them from barking any more. He politely led Xu Shiyan to the easternmost room.
"Dad, someone is looking for you."
Xu Shiyan followed him into the house and saw Han Wenzhong sitting on the edge of the kang, smoking. Next to him sat Han Wenzhong's wife, Mrs. Sun.
Han Limin was sitting on the edge of the Kang over there. "Uncle Han, Aunt Han, Brother Limin." Xu Shiyan came in and greeted everyone in the Han family.
"Oh, isn't this technician Xu? Why are you here?"
Just now I heard from my daughter-in-law that someone was looking for her, but Han Wenzhong didn't pay attention. He was thinking about someone who might be attending the event, and he knew he had come down the mountain to come and sit down.
Without thinking, he looked up and found that it was Xu Shiyan. Han Wenzhong moved to the edge of the kang and was about to get off the ground.
"Uncle, sit down and don't get off the ground." Xu Shiyan quickly put the things in his hands on the kang, and then supported Han Wenzhong.
"Uncle, I also went up the mountain to see ginseng this winter. I just came down and was busy with some things. I just happened to come over to see my uncle and aunt."
Xu Shiyan said while helping Han Wenzhong sit down.
"Look, you can just come here, why are you still holding something?
Ordinarily, it would be me and Limin who would bring things to see you. Fortunately, you taught us how to shoot Anna this year. In the autumn, a group of people really showed up.
Someone tripped over the cannon, and someone tripped over the ground gun, causing one person to collapse. Later, the whole group caught them."
Han Wenzhong was particularly cordial when he met Xu Shiyan.
There was a strong wind that night, and the dogs were of no use at all. If we hadn't had guns and cannons to warn us, we would have had to throw sticks.
Han Wenzhong has been looking at ginseng at the ginseng market for all these years. It would be a shame if he lost his mallet. How could he look at ginseng on the mountain in the future?
"Technician Xu, thank you very much."
"Uncle, didn't we agree that you call me Xiao Xu and I call you uncle? Why did you call me technician again?
My little ability is not enough in front of my uncle."
Xu Shiyan didn't dare to take advantage of Han Wenzhong. Without the old man to teach him those skills, even if he was reborn, it would be useless.
Mr. Han is the person Xu Shiyan is grateful from the bottom of his heart.
"Dad, Xiao Xu, I don't think you two need to thank me anymore. We are all from our own family, why are you so polite?"
Han Limin had a straightforward temperament. Seeing his father and Xu Shiyan being humble and polite to each other, he felt awkward and said with a smile.
"No, we are all on our own, why are we so polite?" Han Wenzhong laughed immediately and dragged Xu Shiyan to sit on the kang.
"Xiao Xu, tell me, why did you go up the mountain to see ginseng? No one else in your team went?"
Han Wenzhong inquired with curiosity on his face. He had never heard of any team that sent technicians to the mountain to check the ginseng.
"No, many people in the team want to go up the mountain, and they don't have dogs at home.
I asked someone to buy four puppies before, and they were half-grown. Besides, wasn't it me who made the guns and all that?
The secretary of our brigade also took care of me. Seeing that my work score was high, he let me go up the mountain."
Xu Shiyan smiled, now the job of looking at ginseng has become a popular job. If Yu Shouguang didn't value him, he might not be able to get it.
"Oh, oh, that's what happened, that's good, that's good.
As long as you earn more work points, you can do the same thing, you can feel comfortable watching ginseng on the mountain, right?" Han Wenzhong felt relieved after hearing this.
Field participation is different from that of the agricultural team. Han Wenzhong receives a fixed salary, and there is a subsidy for participation.
He didn't quite understand how the agricultural team calculated it, and was afraid that Xu Shiyan would suffer a loss.
"You also have a dog at home, what do you think? Can you go hunting in the mountains? If you can hunt, we can take the dogs into the mountains some other time?"
Mr. Han was used to being in the mountains. When he came home, he couldn't stay idle, so he wanted to find someone to go into the mountains.
