In Li Dahe's limited vision, paying four yuan for pasting 10,000 matchboxes was already a great job.
But now Lin Nianhe told him that as long as he repackaged the matches and sent them to the supply and marketing cooperative, he could earn an extra dollar from 10,000 boxes.
One dollar!
That's fifteen or six work points, which is the child's tuition for one year, which is... a lot.
Li Dahe couldn't remember how he felt when he hung up the phone. He only remembered that when he conveyed the matter to Accountant Wang Hong and Zhao, his eyes were red.
He wiped the corners of his eyes, cleared his throat, and tried his best to maintain the calm aura that a captain should have, and said: "Well, stop blaming for now, let's discuss how the money should be divided among the villagers."
Money must be kept in the public account of the production team. Catching piglets and repairing the village must rely on money from the public account.
Unfortunately, they only have more than 400 yuan in their account, which is not enough to build two better warehouses.
Wang Hong's eyes were red, but what she said was: "It's okay this time. From now on, if a wife is pregnant, she can't go to the fields, and she can earn a lot of money by working at home... Whoever dares to say not to let girls go to school, let the children go to school on their own." Provide for yourself.”
Accountant Zhao looked at his legs and said, "Well, the old, weak, sick and disabled have a way to survive. It's a good thing..."
He was the most touched because he could hardly do any work before.
He can't do spring planting, nor can he help with the crops in normal times. He can only help when breaking and rolling the corn.
His family's private land depends entirely on the help of his wife and fellow villagers.
Li Dahe didn't interrupt, and let them sigh while he secretly rubbed the pot of his pipe to calm down.
The three of them waited for a while, not wanting to cry anymore, but just wanting to laugh.
I don’t know who laughed first, but laughter came one after another throughout the entire brigade.
"Yeah!"
Li Dahe stood up, smoothed his hair and said: "Thanks to Lin Yatou and the others, she said they will come back tomorrow. Later I will ask Xiao Hai and Xiao Shan to go for a walk in the mountains to see if they can trap two rabbits. return."
Wang Hong responded with a smile: "I have saved fourteen eggs. I will bring them to you tomorrow. These girls must be very tired."
"I still have some rice at home, so I can steam some rice for them." Accountant Zhao also said.
Li Dahe did not refuse the two of them, and brought the topic back: "Then you two, how much of these five yuan will go into the public account?"
Zhao Hui calculated and said, "Why don't you make two yuan? If you raise more pigs next year and repair the barn, it will cost a lot of money."
Wang Hong didn't agree and shook her head: "The Chinese New Year is about to come soon, so let's share more with everyone. This is another income for us in the first year, and it also allows everyone to have a good New Year."
They both had their own reasons. Li Dahe walked around the room several times and finally said: "Listen to Hongzi, get one. This year is not easy for everyone. The autumn harvest will catch up with the dragon's mouth to snatch food. Let's have a prosperous year. I will be more motivated next year!”
Accountant Zhao thought for a while and nodded: "That's right. We have to keep the villagers motivated and don't delay other people's factories. It's hard to find a job, and it's even harder to work for a long time."
Li Dahe deeply agreed and waved at them: "Let's go and tell the folks about this!"
…
When Lin Nianhe returned to the guest house, Su Yuncheng had already sent tomorrow's train tickets, three sleeper berth tickets.
Wen Lan and Wang Shumei, both of whom had never sat in the sleeper berth, took the tickets and looked around, feeling excited for a while.
But in an instant, they were no longer happy——
They have bought a lot of things in the past two days. In addition to bringing things for the villagers and educated youths, they also bought things for themselves.
Now that I have money and my relationship with Zheng Lirong, I buy a lot of cans, sausages, peach cakes and fruit cakes...all in random.
Plus the book worth more than 100 yuan.
How to get it, that is the question.
Seeing that they were unhappy, Lin Nianhe asked, "What's wrong?"
Wen Lan covered her arms, horrified and flustered: "Hezi, we bought these old things, how can we get them to the car?"
Wang Shumei also regretted a little and could only say: "Why don't you go to the post office and send it back?"
Lin Nianhe looked at the two of them and waved his hand calmly: "It's okay. I'll borrow a trolley from an acquaintance tomorrow and we'll take it directly to the platform."
Wen Lan: "..."
Wang Shumei: "..."
Got it, they are current acquaintances again.
With Lin Nianhe's words, Wang Shumei and Wen Lan quickly lost their frustration.
Wang Shumei said: "It's hard to come to the provincial capital. Let's go out for a walk?"
Lin Nianhe thought for a while and realized that there was indeed nothing to do, so he nodded with a smile: "Let's go to the park?"
"OK!"
They were both ready to go out, but Wen Lan still stayed on the bed.
Lin Nianhe asked her: "Sister Lan, what's wrong with you?"
Wen Lan curled up with her eyes full of resistance: "I don't want to go out for a walk with you two. I'll be exhausted, even more tired than the autumn harvest."
In just a few days, Sister Lan developed a phobia of shopping.
Shopping with a woman is scary, but shopping with two women... is a disaster.
"Oh, Sister Lan, let's go to the park and not buy anything."
"You've come here, you can't go nowhere, right? When you go home for the New Year, your brothers and sisters will ask you about the provincial capital and you won't be able to tell them."
"Let's go, let's go, I promise I won't let you resist anything!"
"Yeah……"
Wen Lan finally believed these two people's lies and followed them out.
She figured that there wouldn't be anything too heavy for her to resist in the park, so it would be safe.
The three of them took the bus to the park. Not long after they got off the bus, a burst of curses came to their ears:
"Ouch, you're eating people to death! The people in this place are all opportunistic bad elements, and the things they sell are eating people to death!"
"What's going on? You still want to do something? Come on, hit me. Try hitting me! If I don't peel off your skin, I'll take your surname like that of a little brat..."
Wen Lan was most interested in this kind of thing, her eyes lit up instantly, and she was about to rush in that direction.
Lin Nianhe felt something was wrong. Her hands reacted much faster than her brain. She rushed forward and hugged Wen Lan from behind, blocking her way.
"Hezi?" Wen Lan turned around in confusion.
Lin Nianhe hid most of his face behind Wen Lan and carefully glanced at the source of the sound.
The center of the incident was at the entrance of a dark alley. It was very narrow. If there was no one around, I would pass by it eight hundred times without even taking a second look.
It looks like what a black market should look like.
Listen to the curse words of the ladies again...
Why does it sound so much like the script she wrote?
Lin Nianhe lay on Wen Lan's back, covering his face with his arms, and whispered: "Sister Lan, don't look at it and leave quickly."
Wang Shumei reacted faster. She calmly held Wen Lan's arm, blocked Lin Nianhe behind the two of them, turned around and ran across the road.
