More than an hour later, Cheng Hui and Gao Zhi returned to the Gaojiatun production team.
Cheng Hui touched her frozen cotton pants and found that they were still too thin.
Unfortunately, she had no money to buy cotton or cloth tickets.
The little money in my pocket is of great use, so I can't touch it.
She took Gao Zhi directly to Gao Qishan's house.
Entering the twelfth lunar month, all the crops in the Northeast have been harvested. Although there is still some kind of work in the fields, we can finish work early every day.
Gao Qishan and his wife are both at home.
Seeing Cheng Hui come in, Gao Qishan immediately stood up: "Is there something else?"
Cheng Hui smiled. She liked this team leader very much. He was a decent man and had no bad intentions. He had taken good care of her in his previous life.
"I have something to do." Cheng Hui sat down on the kang familiarly and said, "I went to the commune food factory in the morning and found a job."
The tobacco leaves in Gao Qishan's hand fell off.
Sun Tiemei, who was making a cotton-padded jacket next to her, accidentally pricked her hand.
She exclaimed: "You found a job? A commune food factory? You will be able to earn wages in the future?"
How can you be so capable!
Cheng Hui's expression was calm, but Gao Zhi behind her felt his chin go up to the sky.
Not only did my sister-in-law find a job, but so did she!
However, Cheng Hui told her on the way that the news that she had a job must not be spread, otherwise her salary would have to be turned over to the Gao family.
Only then did Gao Zhi restrain himself from showing off.
Cheng Hui nodded, took out 5 yuan from his pocket and put it on the kang.
"The commune food factory is encountering some difficulties now. There are not enough eggs. They are in a hurry to produce and can't wait for the county to deliver them. They want to collect some directly from our production team, which costs 8 cents each."
She said to Sun Tiemei: "Although I have been in the production team for almost a year, I actually don't know a few people. I want to trouble my aunt about this matter, but I don't know if she is free?"
Sun Tiemei immediately said: "Yes, yes!"
She only raised a few chickens at home, and she never wanted to eat the eggs, instead selling them for oil, salt, sauce, and vinegar.
She knows the market of eggs very well. The most expensive ones are only 7 cents and 5 cents each, and most of the time they are 7 cents each.
At 8 cents each, she has earned a lot!
She just didn't know if it would work... She glanced at her husband.
Gao Qishan was also a little hesitant.
They have strict control here. There are no markets or farmers' markets. If farmers want to sell some agricultural and sideline products, they have to go to the black market and sell them secretly.
And it’s okay to sell your own property, but it’s a big deal to take someone else’s and sell it and make a profit on the price.
Belongs to speculation.
But is everyone so obedient? impossible.
Cheng Hui said leisurely: "Logically, our commune food factory cannot collect raw materials privately, so I will not mention this matter to the outside world, let alone how much it will cost."
Leave room for them to operate.
Sun Tiemei's eyes brightened even more.
Gao Qishan looked at Cheng Hui again. This little educated youth was a little different from what he originally thought.
Cheng Hui suddenly felt a little embarrassed and said, "Of course I can't work in vain."
She touched her belly: "The baby is due in two or three months, but I haven't prepared any clothes or quilt for her yet, so I want 5 cents for an egg."
Gao Qishan and Sun Tiemei were completely relieved.
They don't want to owe a favor, they'd rather give money.
Cheng Hui smiled, she didn't like Wu Li either, but she could reassure them by saying this.
After collecting the money, everyone is just a grasshopper on a rope, and no one will betray anyone.
Gao Qishan suddenly looked at Gao Zhi.
Gao Zhi immediately closed his eyes and covered his mouth: "I didn't see anything! I won't say anything!"
Cheng Hui smiled and said: "Don't worry, I trust Gao Zhi, she knows the importance. I also helped her find a job in the food factory. I still have to ask the captain to help keep this matter secret and deal with it."
Gao Zhi had a job and she couldn't hide it from her father, but she couldn't hide it from Gao Qishan, because if she didn't go to work, Gao Qishan would find someone else.
Gao Qishan nodded, that's it.
He had also watched Gao Zhi, a little girl, grow up. She was not too ill-intentioned, but she was also very ill-intentioned. When it came to her own interests, she would be very clever.
Cheng Hui pushed the 5 yuan forward again: "I'll bother you, aunt. I'll collect the 5 yuan first. It would be great if you can help us deliver it to the commune food factory tomorrow morning."
Sun Tiemei immediately said: "Okay, okay, what time will it be tomorrow morning? I'll catch the production team's carriage and take you there myself!"
Cheng Hui smiled and said: "Since there is a carriage, we can leave at 7 o'clock."
This is another benefit of pulling up Gao Qishan.
Although anyone could borrow the production team's carriage if they had something to do, it couldn't be borrowed every day, and she couldn't drive the carriage!
How great it is now, not only do we have a car, but we also have a free driver.
After leaving Gao Qishan's house, the two returned to the educated youth spot.
Before entering the door, Cheng Hui asked Gao Zhi: "How about you move out and live with me? The two of us will live in the room they vacated."
"Okay, okay!" Gao Zhi nodded repeatedly.
Educated Youth Point is the only brick house in the village!
In order to respond to the policy, the above specially approved the money to cover it.
It was much better than the Gao family's mud house, and as a mop, her quilt was extremely thin, and she lived on the edge of a kang, so she woke up from the cold every morning.
"But we don't have firewood." Gao Zhi said again.
Even if the brick house does not have a kang, it will still wake up from the cold.
Cheng Hui took out another 10 cents and handed it to her: "You can find a way to buy a bundle of firewood, enough to burn for a day. We will talk about tomorrow."
Gao Zhi held the 1 cent and said nothing, not because it was too little, but because he was shocked by the speed at which Cheng Hui spent money.
I grabbed 18 yuan and 3.5 cents last night.
The supply and marketing cooperative spent a total of 7 yuan on hats and scarves, 4 cents on rice cakes, and 4 yuan on Guo Dajun. He just spent another 5 yuan on eggs.
I spent a few cents on envelope stamps before.
She only has more than 1 yuan left in her hand now!
Cheng Hui smiled. The remaining 1 yuan was reserved to buy train tickets for a few people tomorrow, otherwise she would have used it to collect eggs just now.
"Don't worry about money. As long as you follow me, I guarantee that you won't be hungry or cold." Cheng Hui said.
Gao Zhi nodded immediately: "Okay."
Why do you think this is a bit weird?
Cheng Hui sent her to find firewood, and she went to the educated youth camp herself, hoping to discuss the use of the house with the manager of the female educated youth.
As a result, when I entered the room, I saw Lidya Su sitting on the kang, talking to the people next to me and wiping tears.
The female educated youth next to her no longer looked so contemptuous at her.
It seemed that she had put in a lot of effort during the day.
Cheng Hui chuckled and suddenly said: "Su Xiao, I went to the commune in the morning and wrote a letter to my family. By the way, I asked my stepmother to ask about your mother's situation. Is she feeling better?"
Lidya Su's expression froze instantly.
Her mother is not sick at all!
If her family members knew that she had lied and borrowed money in this name...she would be doomed!
"What's your expression? Don't you want to know about your mother? Or are you afraid that the lie will be exposed and they will ask you for money?" Cheng Hui said.
Su Xiao's parents are also top-notch, extremely patriarchal, and she came to the countryside for her brother.
If he knew she had money in her hand, she would definitely find a way to get rid of it, and she wouldn't care where the money came from.
Su Xiao took a deep breath, put away her expression and said movedly: "No, I just didn't expect that you would still help me. You are really my best sister. It was all my fault in the past, but in the future I..."
"Remember to pay me back in the future." Cheng Hui said: "Let's settle the accounts now. You have been in charge of how much money I have borrowed since childhood."
