Era: Start as a buyer

"What, this won't work. As for the housing issue, once things are sorted out at the Chicken Restaurant, I will find a house for the employees to use as staff dormitories. But it won't work for your cousin to live with us again. And there's another thing. The apartment on the cooking side is occupied by women, so just arrange for her to go in."

"My cousin said she just wants to live with me so we can chat. We have plenty of rooms here."

"Don't you remember why we looked for another apartment before? It was more convenient to have one more person."

"It's okay. We just don't make any noise. There are people next door. It's a bit exciting."

"You're crazy, no, we don't have any shortage of employees, let alone work there, it's quite far away from us, how can we live there. If she doesn't want to, then we won't hire her."

It was so irritating that Luo Cheng directly rejected Zhou Ruoxue's request to live here. There were some things that Luo Cheng couldn't tell Liu Xiaofei, because once he said some things, Liu Xiaofei and Zhou Ruoxue might not be able to get along with each other anymore.

Luo Cheng didn't tell Liu Xiaofei some things, mainly because her cousin was young, naive and impulsive. Things have passed as they have passed, there is no need to stir things up or anything.

But if Liu Xiaofei's cousin is allowed to live here again, there will definitely be trouble.

A person who calls you brother-in-law can privately ask your brother-in-law whether what he does is very powerful. Anyone who lacks concentration might ask her if she wants to give it a try.

Liu Xiaofei, a silly woman, is a fire-proof best friend, so she has to be a fire-proof best friend and a cousin. Luo Cheng also has a strong sense of morality. Affected by his own era, he would feel immoral if he finds another woman. But a moral person does not mean that he has no thoughts about other women, it just means that he will restrain himself.

If there were really no moral constraints, young men and women would lose interest in the opposite sex if they had a partner, and idol dramas and celebrities wouldn't have such a big market.

Liu Xiaofei heard that Luo Cheng didn't want his cousin to live here, and thought about it, the chicken restaurant was located close to the city. Arranged to work there, it was inconvenient to go back and forth every day, so she also planned to talk to her cousin tomorrow. If you don't want to, there's nothing you can do. They really don't lack people to work here.

After talking about Liu Xiaofei's cousin's urban area, the two of them didn't do much in the evening. They just played a few games and then went to bed.

"Hongxiu, I will be back in two days. You must take good care of your sister-in-law."

"Well, Yanzi, don't worry, nothing will happen if I'm here."

Today Luo Yan is going back to her hometown with Luo Cheng. According to family relations, if they are in the countryside and their parents are around, Luo Yan must listen to them. The parents are no longer here, and the elder brother is like the father. It is not Luo Cheng's turn, the third oldest son, to make arrangements for Luo Yan.

But now Luo Yan is following Luo Cheng back, which is to show respect to her parents. Luo Cheng's parents, sisters and brothers are all helping him with work. In addition, it is a good thing for Luo Cheng to arrange work for Luo Yan, and it is impossible to object to it.

Luo Yan and Hongxiu still got up early and were busy making breakfast. Luo Yan hadn't been back for almost two months. I also want to go back and take all my belongings to the city. But there aren't many things I can bring, not even a quilt. It's not a matter of reluctance, but because I really don't have any.

Some rural families have many children, and it is true that several children wear the same clothes. Whoever goes out wears them, and some people sleep in the hay in the cold weather.

In her hometown, Luo Yan slept in a woodshed with a thin quilt. When it was cold, she slept in a pile of straw with the quilt. Just that thin quilt, Luo Yan would not let her take it away when she got married. When this woman gets married, it would be nice for the poor family to have a change of clothes to take with her. Luo Yan's thin quilt was basically left to her nephews and nieces after she got married.

In the morning, it was the same as last time, boiled porridge, and Luo Cheng went to the street to buy fried dough sticks and steamed buns after getting up. The extra I bought was still taken to town for lunch and dinner.

There was food at home, and Luo Cheng received his monthly ration in the form of food stamps. Whenever he returned to town in the morning, he would bring some food with him. And that ration was enough for Luo Cheng to buy for the morning. After all, the steamed buns and fried dough sticks required fine grain stamps. As for whole grains, they will be used.

When Luo Cheng set off, he still told Zhang Hongxiu that starting from tomorrow, he would still have to go to the station every day and wait for news about him. The lumber factory made an appointment to bring eggs and vegetables today, and asked her to take care of them.

The pepper had to be obtained somewhere else, but the wild boar he planned to obtain had to be obtained in the town first. It would be hard to explain if the wild boars were found elsewhere. It’s not that one person can’t hunt wild boar, but it’s very risky for one person to go up the mountain to hunt wild boar.

Moreover, wild boars are social animals. If you get a wild boar out of Luo Cheng's commune, you can say that Luo Cheng led people to hunt it in the mountains. If you change the place, unless the distance is so far that you are not afraid of checking, you can probably do it.

Before ten o'clock, Luo Cheng and Luo Yan returned to the town. The people who work with Luo Cheng are not idle these days. Hei Niu basically comes here every day to pull goods, and Luo Cheng's father leads people to reinforce the cellars dug.

Luo Cheng took Luo Yan directly to Chen Laizi's house because everyone was busy there. If Luo Cheng doesn't come again, everyone will really have some time to relax.

Luo Cheng's mother took her grandchildren here to cook and so on every day. She was very happy to see Luo Yan back. Because Luo Cheng is responsible for everyone's food, and they don't have to worry about food, when their daughter comes back, the mother will naturally think that she will be relieved.

Luo Cheng wants to wait for his father to come back before talking about Luo Yan. When he tells his mother about it, she will still ask Luo Cheng's father. In addition to talking about Luo Yan, Luo Cheng also wanted to gather everyone to prepare to leave Longjin Town. Staying in this town every day, Luo Cheng can only do some small tricks to take everyone out. Luo Cheng's source of goods will make everyone feel more mysterious and reasonable.

At noon, most people have arrived. Luo Cheng first talked about Luo Yan's affairs. Her affairs had nothing to do with everyone and were regarded as Luo Cheng's family affairs. But Luo Yan was originally called by Luo Cheng to take care of Zhao Qian in the city. Everyone knew about Zhao Qian's pregnancy. During the Chinese New Year, Luo Cheng's parents said that he was too spoiled to his wife and that he just had a big belly. Which woman hasn't had this before.

Many people in rural areas have big bellies while working in the fields, and there are even cases where they were born directly while working in the fields. Zhao Qian lives with Luo Cheng in the city. It is a complete enjoyment. She doesn't have to work. Washing clothes and housework are not considered work in everyone's eyes. In this way, Luo Yan was specially taken to the city to take care of Zhao Qian. If she gave birth, it would be okay to find someone to take care of her. It is really a bit customary in this era to arrange for someone to take care of a person before she is born. .

But now everyone really envies Luo Yan. Even if he is a casual worker, he still works in the city. They are now working with Luo Cheng, and their life is good, but when they are introduced to the outside world, their reputations are always a bit unfair.

If they were asked about what they were doing with Luo Cheng, they wouldn't be able to tell which unit they were working for. It can only be said that it was arranged by the section chief of the purchasing department of the machinery factory. But Luo Cheng himself said that many things were done for other units, such as raising chickens, which was arranged by the poultry farm.

Fortunately, no one suspected that Luo Cheng had done such a big thing, and these things were actually his own. Even if he took things to sell on the black market, the quantity was not small, and everyone thought Luo Cheng was helping some people dispose of things. The main reason is that everyone doesn't believe that Luo Cheng got all these things himself.

Except for the envy of some people, it is impossible for her parents to object to Luo Yan's work in the city.

"Everyone, get ready. Everyone who can go into the city with me the day after tomorrow will go to the city to get some goods. Ergouzi, you can ask Hei Niu to borrow a cart tomorrow. This time I am going to pull vegetables. There are some places. It’s impossible to arrange for a car to be sent to us every time we move.”

"Push the trolley directly to the city?"

"It's not necessary when you go there. I will arrange a shuttle bus to take you there, and you can also take a trolley there. But when you come back, you will definitely have to walk back. It only takes half a day. I will arrange food for everyone on the way. .”

After hearing what Luo Cheng said, no one was afraid. It was only a few dozen kilometers, and it was not a walk back and forth from the capital. After picking up the goods, I walked all the way back in one day, and the food was all included in Chengdu, so it was nothing to walk a long way.

Just this, Chen Leizi's wife didn't think anything happened when she heard it. But Chen Laizi is a forest ranger, so he doesn't need to go, and his thirteen-year-old wife certainly doesn't need to go either.

Calculating this way, Luo Cheng's father, brother and sister-in-law, sister and brother-in-law, and Ergouzi and his wife, a total of seven people, were going to the city this time. Luo Cheng's mother was taking care of her children at home. She was going out to work and it was impossible to take care of her children.

Luo Cheng's father is considered an elder, and he can be considered a leader when he is away from home. Once the person who is going is decided, then it’s all about the details. Luo Cheng couldn't arrange an extra place to stay in the city. We can only live in Luo Chengjia. The temperature during the day is not bad, but the temperature difference between morning and evening is still quite large.

It's just one night anyway, just go to Luo Cheng's house and find a place to sleep for the night. In this way, everyone does not need to bring a quilt, just wear a thicker piece of clothing.

After the matter was discussed, everyone went about their own business in the afternoon. Luo Yan talked to a few people at Chen Laizi's house about the trivial matters of living in the city for the past two months. Naturally, this involves food and drink, and even though Luo Yan has only been in the city for two months, this is really a big change.

The face is rounder, not fat, but many people's previous images were mostly skinny. There is no flesh color on her face, and Luo Yan is still relatively thin now, but the flesh on her face is much stronger than that of others.

And because she stayed at home to take care of Zhao Qian every day, Luo Yan was also a little fairer than before. It might not be obvious when she was in the city. But in this rural area, most people's complexions are dark and sallow. Luo Yan's current complexion is really much better than that of rural people.

Luo Cheng didn't stay with Chen Laizi in the afternoon, and he didn't plan to eat here in the evening. Anyway, when he came back, he put a few plain steamed buns at home.

In the afternoon, Luo Cheng came home and saw all the children next door, and let himself go again. I took them to play. In previous years, there were many frogs in the fields during this season, but after searching for a long time in the fields, except for a few soil toads, there were no frogs at all.

Then I remembered that these days, those who escaped from the famine would never let this frog go. Just light a fire and roast the caught frogs and water snakes without adding any seasonings.

In the end, Luo Cheng took them to the nearby mountain forest to collect bird eggs for a long time, and finally found some eggs. This means that when Da Mao is climbing a tree, children are easily scared due to their light weight. If it is an adult who has no tree climbing skills, even if he can climb up, the physical energy consumed may not be enough to replenish the bird's eggs.

A man kills himself as a boy, catching frogs and pulling out bird eggs are the memories of his generation.

Luo Cheng took the kids next door to play just to kill time.

~~

In the future era, Luo Cheng woke up.

Luo Cheng had a full day's schedule, and he had to practice driving in the morning. There are only a few days left to take the driver's license test. Although I feel that there is nothing to practice in the driving school, it is good to become proficient.

We have to go to the breeding base in the afternoon, and a few of the twenty wild boars that were delivered will be returned to the west today.

"Xiao Fei, wake up and let me tell you something. I am going out to do something today and may not come back until after twelve o'clock in the evening. If you want to go with me, I will pick you up after my driving practice in the morning."

"Where are you going and why are you coming back so late."

"Go to the breeding base in the afternoon, slaughter a few pigs, and have a pig-killing feast there. Then give some benefits to the employees, but two of them will not be killed until dark, and they are going to be sold to others, and they will come and pick them up at night. Goods, fresh pork will be sold to others early the next morning."

"The pig-killing feast is good, but it's too remote over there. Forget it, I won't go."

That's how lazy people are. When Luo Cheng said this, he most likely guessed that Liu Xiaofei didn't want to go. If you ask her to eat hot pot in the center of the city, she will be more enthusiastic than anyone else.

But it is true that it is remote over there and no one goes to the suburbs at night.

Luo Cheng got up, got dressed, and went out. There was no loving hug today. It's like this between lovers, the sweetness can't always be hot.

But after being indifferent for a while, they may suddenly get tired of being together again.

I went to practice driving in the morning. Zhou Meng didn't come with me this time. She was busy with shop decoration. Luo Cheng didn't tell her that he came to practice driving this morning.

When they arrived at the driving school, Wang Shanshan reported to him on the phone about today's work arrangements. Today, Chen Yan is arranged to go to the breeding base to count the staff there. When the time comes, Luo Cheng needs to inform the staff there.

After Luo Cheng heard this, he asked Chen Yan to wait there and accompany him there at noon. As for Wang Shanshan, he also has something to explain, but it will be after tomorrow.
