Era: Start as a buyer

"Qian, if something like this happens, if you don't marry Luo Cheng, who else can you marry? Someone older, disabled, or that stupid cow."

"But dad, Luo Cheng is a second-rate guy, I'm afraid."

"There is nothing to be afraid of. He only bullies some honest people and children in the town. He can bully our Zhao family."

In 1958, if a woman was naked, no one would want her.

In fact, some people want it, but those who are willing to want it must have something wrong with them. Those who are older, born ugly, disabled, and even some who have had a daughter-in-law who died in childbirth will naturally not dislike it so much.

Luo Cheng is the third eldest child in the family and a second-rate son. With him like this, whoever follows him may suffer. But Accountant Zhao had his own plan, which was to establish a people's commune. He also learned that after the commune was established, everything would be collectivized, not only work but also food.

That is to say, in the future, every place will have a canteen, and other people will not have to light fires to cook. This will save firewood, and the extra iron pots can also support construction.

Moreover, the collectivization of farming also has an advantage, that is, agricultural tools can be used intensively, which improves production efficiency. For people like Luo Cheng who were separated from their families, the land they were allocated before was not good and they didn't even have a single farm tool. And Luo Cheng doesn't know how to farm.

After the commune is established, the commune will also set up production brigades and squads. The squads are basically based on villages, and a squad is basically a village. Then the brigade needs deputy captains, accountants, cashiers, and clerks. These require people who can count and write. The captains and squad leaders are elected by the villagers. But others are in the form of assessment announcements.

Accountant Zhao's Zhao Qian was taught literacy and arithmetic by Accountant Zhao when she was a child, and later studied for two years. Even if you can write and do math in the town, you can still become one of the accountants, cashiers, and clerks.

And as long as Luo Cheng agrees to marry Accountant Zhao's daughter, and through some connections, the mountain forest will also be a collective in the future, and he will be given a job as a mountain ranger. In this way, they can eat from a big pot and earn work points together. Life will not be difficult, and although Luo Cheng is a second-rate boy, he has never done anything immoral, and he is actually pretty good.

Accountant Zhao analyzed these plans with his daughter at home. He didn't tell Luo Cheng about these plans, thinking that he relied on his own conditions. Luo Cheng shouldn't be embarrassed when others take issue with it. To be honest, the people who took off my daughter's pants don't know where they are buried now. Others don't want to marry Zhao Qian, maybe because there is still Luo Cheng who is still alive to see her body.

Zhao Qian actually understood this, but she just felt that Luo Cheng was not a good person. At least that day, Luo Cheng definitely took the opportunity to look at her naked lower body several times. That look in his eyes made me feel like I had an idea.

Moreover, people have heard that people with bad character like to beat their wives and children. Luo Cheng has a reputation as a second-rate man, and she is afraid of being beaten if she gets married.

But now it's Zhao Qian who doesn't want to get married but has to agree with her father that he is the best choice, but Luo Cheng hasn't agreed yet.

"Qian, come with me to find that boy tomorrow. Then dad will tell him about the cooperative. If he doesn't agree, it will depend on how he makes a living in the future. He won't even be able to plant the land. He won't even be able to feed himself even if he wants to. Difficult. If he goes hunting in the mountains, it will be poaching. He needs permission from the town, and what he hunts must be shared with everyone. If he goes hunting alone, it will be stolen. "

"Dad, I still need to go."

"You look so pretty. If you tell him in front of him, I don't believe that kid can hold it back. Or there's something wrong with him."

"Okay~~Okay."

At night, the adobe houses on the west side of the town are already close to the west boundary of the town. If you go further, you will have to leave the town and go to the village on the west.

Luo Cheng was lying on the bed and fast asleep. If anyone were there, they would find that his stomach seemed to be slightly bulging.

~~~

"Master Wang, if you can't pay back the daily payment as promised by the superiors, if you don't work on this day, you will lose three hundred."

"I didn't agree, and I didn't agree either. The superiors have relented now, but they are afraid that we will overwhelm our labor, so they plan to calculate wages in a fixed amount. That is, if you work more, you will earn more, and if you work less, you will earn less. The settlement will not be done on the same day, but at most every other day. , the statistics are done, and someone will send the money at noon the next day. Someone is negotiating, and we will just do our work then."

"Well, that's good, Master Wang. I see that everyone else is buying vegetables to cook. Where did you buy that pot with a little cooking pot? I also want to make my own food."

"Have you seen the intersection on the south side? If you go out and turn to the left, there is a supermarket. Although it is not big, it sells everything."

"Um, Master Wang, can you take me to Hongta Mountain?"

"You just need to show me the way?"

Master Wang was a little confused. He and Luo Cheng were eating on the side of the construction site. A box lunch costs ten yuan, including two meat and two vegetables and a bottle of mineral water. If you eat here, you can add rice for free. If you pack it, you can pack two meals without extra charge. If you add more rice, it will be charged. .

For workers, such roadside mobile stalls are the most affordable, and some box lunch sellers specifically look for ones to sell near the construction site. It's not a fixed place, just come when the time is right.

But Luo Cheng still hasn't calculated the price value here. A box lunch costs ten yuan, but if you buy rice for ten yuan, even if it's more than two yuan, you can buy more than four kilograms. Also, I heard from other workers that steamed buns cost 50 cents each, and you can buy 20 of them for 10 yuan. Even a kilogram of dried noodles costs two yuan a bucket.

In Luo Cheng's eyes, many prices are not equal. The oil and water in this lunch box is pretty good, but Luo Cheng is embarrassed to eat too much rice. This lunch box can only be cooked for a few taels at most. It doesn't weigh more than two kilograms a few times. As for the vegetables, I don't know the exact value, but people who sell lunch boxes must make a profit.

Luo Cheng didn't dare to eat as much as he wanted to, as he would definitely be able to save his capital if he did. Now he doesn't really want to cook for himself, but he is restricted in his range of activities. In Luo Cheng's eyes, the world is surrounded by fog, and it is easy to lift the fog, as long as someone takes him closer to the fog.

For example, last time Master Wang kindly took him to buy second-hand mobile phones, which were sold at mobile phone repair places. And because someone took Luo Cheng there, the fog on the road to repair the mobile phone was dispelled.

Luo Cheng has never seen what a 'supermarket' is, but he heard that it can be used to buy food, so Luo Cheng is now tricking Master Wang. But Luo Cheng is also a little embarrassed now. It is obvious that the place Master Wang mentioned is very close, and you can see it just by turning a corner at the intersection. But Luo Cheng couldn't get through the fog at all. He had to be guided by someone. Others could do it, but he couldn't lift the fog alone.

"Well~~, I'm afraid of strangers. If you take me there once, I'll dare to go next time."

"Well, okay, you come from a poor place and have few contacts with strangers. Now that you are in the city, you will gradually get used to it."

So after dinner, the two of them went directly to the supermarket without any arrangements to return to the construction site. Luo Cheng followed Master Wang and watched the fog dissipate and the road continue to expand.

I’m really looking forward to what the supermarkets in this world look like.
