80s Taoism

"The people in the village are really enthusiastic." Luo Changjun sighed.

Luo Yongming smiled and didn't speak, he had already seen Zhang Dechun's intentions. But Zhang Jiwang was sincere.

After Zhang Dechun and Zhang Jiwang left, Luo Yongming said, "It's not that I don't want to help Secretary Zhang. I've retired now. It's not appropriate to take care of this kind of thing. I can ask about the situation. I'm not sure if I can help at that time. Ordinarily, the county should have policies for a substitute teacher who has been a private teacher for more than ten years."

It was only at this time that Zhang Manyin knew the purpose of Zhang Dechun's visit, and said with some embarrassment, "Brother Luo, this is messed up. I didn't even know that he came with this purpose. If you really can't help, then leave him alone."

"It's all right. I don't have any embarrassments about this matter. Just ask him about the situation." Luo Yongming smiled.

"Father, why don't you leave it to me. I have a classmate who is in the school district. I'll ask what's going on later." Luo Changjun said.

"Okay, you can ask about this." Luo Yongming nodded.

After lunch, Luo Yongming walked around Meizitang under the leadership of Zhang Jiaohua.

"It's really a beautiful place with beautiful mountains and rivers. It's a pity that the rich products did not bring prosperity to the common people. Instead, they suffer from poverty due to traffic congestion. It's really a pity." Luo Yongming couldn't help sighing when he saw some dilapidated houses in the village.

"I read in the newspaper that wild vegetables collected in some mountainous areas can be sold to Japan and South Korea, and the income is quite good. Unfortunately, the roads here in Meizi'ao are so bad that even if wild vegetables are collected, it is difficult to send them out." Luo Changjun said.

"This is a good way. But it takes a lot of effort to organize it. And it is not an easy task to repair such a long mountain road." Luo Yongming has worked in a leadership position and knows the situation very well.

Zhang Jiaohua couldn't understand what they said: Those wild vegetables don't even like pigs, so they can be sold for money? What are the tastes of the people in the city?

"There's a lot of wild game in the mountains. If it's sold in the city, it should be very profitable." Luo Changjun laughed.

"It's a pity that you are still the director of the police station. Most of the wild game is protected animals. It's okay to eat a little secretly in the village, but it's not a trivial matter to sell it outside." Luo Yongming looked at it comprehensively.

Looking at the beautiful scenery of Meishan, Luo Yongming was a little bit lingering.

"Biaohua, next time I come here, I will live with you for a while. Take a good breath of the good air here." Luo Yongming really has this plan.

"Okay. It's just that the conditions here are simple. I'm afraid you won't be used to living there." Zhang Jiaohua naturally knew that compared with the conditions in Luo Yongming's home, the conditions in his home were one on the ground and the other in the sky.

"Don't worry about that. When I went to the countryside to join the queue, the conditions were even worse than yours here." Luo Yongming laughed.

Luo Changjun urged Luo Yongming to go back quickly, "The mountain road is not easy to walk, and it is too dangerous to walk at night. We have to walk that section of the mountain road before it is dark." Luo Yongming was urged several times before leaving unwillingly.

Zhang Jiaohua watched the jeep disappear from the distant mountain road, "Grandpa Luo won't really want to come and stay with us for a while?"

"It's probably just for fun. How comfortable their home is, is he willing to come to our village to suffer?" Zhang Manyin didn't quite believe it.

Guangdong Flower City.

It has been more than two months since they came to this bustling city, and Zhang Youping and Liu Qiaoye have slowly adapted to the rhythm of the city. Although the couple work in the same factory, they can only touch each other during meals. Then hurried to the workshop.

When I first came here, my hands and feet were not quick, and I did things slowly, and I often reworked. It is difficult to complete even the most basic workload every day, and I can only work overtime for a few hours a day.

Now I finally got used to it, but I still have to work overtime every day. Because the income is piece-rate. Only by working overtime can you earn more. Those who come out to work are to make money, not to enjoy themselves. When I was in Meiziao, there was no such good opportunity to make money. Now that there is such a good opportunity, there is no reason not to work hard to make money.

When Zhang Youping and Liu Qiaoye first came to Guangdong, their skin was dark and dark. After staying in the factory for two consecutive months and not going out much, their skin has become fair.

When it came time to receive wages again, Zhang Youping and Liu Qiaoye stood in the queue, feeling very excited. In the first month, both of them only received basic salary. But because I just came here, I made a lot of mistakes, deducting a little here, and a little there, and the two of them added up to only a little over 100 yuan. But Zhang Youping and Liu Qiaoye were still excited to death. After all, in their lives, that was the time the couple earned the most in a month. And this month, the two of them had almost no money deducted, and they worked a lot of overtime. The two of them did some preliminary calculations, and the sum of the two of them this month was almost a thousand yuan.

Zhang Youping and Liu Qiaoye were both excited and nervous.

"After receiving the salary, let's go for a stroll in the city today? We have been in Huacheng for so long, and we haven't seen it outside the factory yet." Every night when Zhang Youping got off work, he would stand on the roof of the dormitory and take a look at this strange city.

Liu Qiaoye was also a little moved, but he shook his head after a while, "Don't go out. Sister Lihua said that Guangdong is very chaotic, and people often steal money. Also, you need a temporary residence permit to go out here. If you don't bring a temporary residence permit, you will be fined 300 yuan once."

Within a few days of arriving here, Zhang Youping and Liu Qiaoye had already obtained their temporary residence permits. They heard from workers in the factory that they were fined for not bringing their temporary residence permits. Here in Huacheng, wage earners are all inferior people, no one cares about their life and death. There are often local ruffian# hooligans who specialize in robbing these wage earners. Sometimes, even if someone is dead, no one pays attention. Zhang Youping and Liu Qiaoye could not confirm the authenticity of this rumor.

"Zhang Youping, the salary plus bonus is 567 yuan." The factory accountant handed the money to Zhang Youping.

Zhang Youping received it excitedly, and said thank you several times.

Liu Qiaoye has a little more work than Zhang Youping. Women do have an advantage in this kind of work that is quicker than hands and feet. Liu Qiaoye received more than six hundred. The smile on his face was as bright as a flower.

"Zai Zai doesn't know what to do at home? I really want to buy him some delicious food." Liu Qiaoye made money, and the first thing he thought of was Zai Zai. It's a pity that Zai Zai is not around. Liu Qiaoye has passed through the most difficult days. Although she still misses Zai Zai terribly in her heart, her heavy labor has slowly recovered from her grief.

"Don't worry, he's doing well at home. Didn't dad say it in his letter, Zai Zai is very obedient at home." Zhang Youping comforted the mother-in-law.

But Liu Qiaoye shook her head, "Your father must be lying. If mother said that Zai Zai is obedient, I would still believe what father said, he must be lying."

After finishing speaking, Liu Qiaoye showed a smile on his face, what kind of personality is Zai Zai, how could the mother not know? If Zai Zai had a good life at home, she might still believe it a little bit, but it was impossible for Zai Zai to be obedient. If you are obedient, how can you still live at home alone, why don't you want to go to grandparents' house?

"At least he won't be hungry and warm at home." In fact, Zhang Youping had already seen that the words in Zhang Manyin's letter were meant to comfort the couple.

"How about, when we go to save money, we can buy some clothes for Zai Zai to send back?" Liu Qiaoye really wanted to use the money he earned to buy something for Zai Zai.

"It's too troublesome to send things. We'll wait until we go home for the Chinese New Year before buying for Zai Zai. Anyway, Zai Zai has enough clothes." Zhang Youping knows that not only sending things is troublesome, but also when the family receives them.

"Okay." Liu Qiaoye nodded.

Xiao Lihua walked over, "Qiaoye, you can do it. You have only been here for two months, and your salary is about the same as mine. If you work for a few more months, you may become the highest-earning migrant girl in the factory. You, don't be so hard on the shifts every day, take it easy, and don't break your body."

"Understood, Sister Lihua. I can't stop, as soon as I stop, I miss Zai Zai." Liu Qiaoye used heavy labor to resist the pain of missing Zai Zai.

"You. It won't be so painful when you work in Guangdong for a few years. By the way, some of our fellow villagers are going to get together. At that time, the two of you will go there together. Rely on your parents at home and friends when you go out." Xiao Lihua said.

"I want what I want." Zhang Youping agreed wholeheartedly. When I came to Guangdong this time, it was thanks to Xiao Lihua that I entered the factory so smoothly. Don't look at the fact that there are many factories in Guangdong. It is not so easy to enter a formal factory with decent treatment.

"Sister Lihua, call us when the time comes." Liu Qiaoye said with a smile.

"Let's go, let's go and save the money together. We just got paid, so don't run around. There are many people who are watching our factory. They are robbing us of the wages we just received. So, don't leave the factory alone. There are many of us, and we go out together, and others dare not do it easily." Xiao Lihua quickly reminded Zhang Youping and Liu Qiaoye.

Both Liu Qiaoye and Zhang Youping were a little scared, if Xiao Lihua hadn't reminded them, the two of them might have acted alone. If you meet those short-lived ghosts outside, maybe this month's hard work will be in vain.

Xiao Lihua called several fellow villagers, and they walked out of the factory gate together. Zhang Youping deliberately looked around the factory gate, and there were really a few idlers looking here non-stop. At first glance, he is not a good person.

Xiao Lihua quickly pulled Zhang Youping, "Don't look at them. There are so many of us, they dare not do anything."

"They are blocking people from our factory here so blatantly, so nobody cares?" Zhang Youping asked puzzled.

"Who will take care of it? We migrant workers, alas, they don't treat us as human beings at all. Youping, don't push yourself. This kind of thing is not something you, a wage earner, can handle." Seeing Zhang Youping's disapproval, Xiao Lihua quickly reminded.
