My 1979

There was no watch, no mobile phone, and no alarm clock, so I just got up when I guessed the time.

When Da Zhuang drove the donkey cart over, the two brothers had already dragged out all the bags from the ditch. Only half of the bags were simply pierced. If there were too many, they would be afraid of suffocation, so they had more pockets.

There was definitely no room for one donkey cart, so Da Zhuang quickly went to the cowshed and brought another one over, so the two carts were full.

Li He sat in front and showed the way, letting Li Long drive the cart, while Da Zhuang drove another cart behind. After walking for a while, he would use wooden buckets to pour water on the donkey cart to give the eels and loaches some water. , I had to run halfway, and I was so tired that I kicked my pants.

The moonlight was just right, and it wasn't as dark as in winter. There was no need to light the lantern. I turned on the flashlight on the occasional bumpy road. By the time I hurried to the provincial capital, it was almost bright every day.

When we arrived at the fishery company, people were already coming and going, all rushing to deliver goods to the morning market.

The donkey cart stopped aside, and Li He took out the shovel from the side of the donkey cart to Li Long, and specifically told him to pay attention to the donkey's feces and urine, shovel them clean, and bury them in the green belt, and then he went straight to yesterday's office area.

He had just taken a few steps when someone held his shoulder behind him. He turned around and saw that it was the old man from yesterday. He immediately took out his cigarette and said, "Good morning, uncle, light a cigarette. Is Manager Wang here?"

The old man put his cigarette between his ears and said, "The manager won't come so early. He told me yesterday, just come here with me. That donkey cart is yours, let them bring it over."

Li He quickly waved to the two of them and asked them to follow him.

Walking into a series of water tanks, there are mostly freshwater fish such as crucian carp and catfish. In front of two empty tanks, he opened the bag and stretched it in front of the old man, "Uncle, you look so fat. We are all the pickers."

The old man didn't say anything and shouted to the person next to him, "Push the scale over here and get on the scale quickly.

After putting the weight on the scale, the old man asked someone to pick out the dead and too small ones and weigh them separately, as well as remove the moisture.

At last count, he weighed 53 pounds less than he weighed at home.

Li He didn't care too much. He passed a cigarette to each person along the circle, and called him "big brother" and "big sister" with admiring eyes and admiring tone, just short of calling him "dad."

He took the receipt and followed the old man out of the financial room after settling the money. "Uncle, you really helped us a lot!"

Pointing at Li Longhe and Da Zhuang, he said, "This one is my brother and the other is my old cousin. I will help you more in the future."

The three people driving the donkey cart didn't dare to find a place to eat. After all, donkeys poop a lot and this is a city, so it would be troublesome to deal with it.

After leaving the city and getting on the highway, the three of them ate some pancakes brought from home and drank all the water in the kettle.

Li He lay in the back and slept all the way to the country road. The road was bumpy and bumpy, and he woke up with pain all over his body from the bumps.

He took the donkey cart back to the cowshed and gave Da Zhuang 10 yuan, but Da Zhuang still wanted to postpone it.

Li He said, "Here, there is no reason why my brothers are making money while you are working in vain. Besides, you have to continue to help me in the future, and you are not just doing it for a day or two. As long as we do this for a day, you will get it for a day." 10 yuan".

According to the current market situation, just give me two or three yuan. As the old saying goes, if you don't suffer from poverty, you will suffer from injustice.

Li He is not pretentious enough to enter into a partnership or share share with Da Zhuang. The capital he lacks most at the moment is that if he doesn't work hard now, when great people come out in large numbers, his own small amount will not be enough.

Liu Dazhuang was extremely happy. A strong laborer like him could only earn 240 work points a year. Lizhuang was close to the Huaihe River, so droughts and floods were common. Counting the annual harvest, the maximum one work point was only 30 cents. .

Liu Dazhuang knew in his heart that he had only received 43 yuan in his best years since he started working. He made another calculation in his mind. If it was 10 yuan a day as Erhe said, then it would be at least 300 yuan a month. I can’t even think about it.

Isn't this just like how his grandfather drove people's cars in the past? The boss gave him money and the clerk did the work. Erhe gave him so much money just to take care of himself. Don't say ten yuan, just give him one yuan. This Li Zhuang guy People also queue up to do it.

Da Zhuang thought, apart from staying up late, this job shouldn't be too easy at all. He quickly went home and discussed with his father that from now on, he would no longer serve whoever wanted to do the work of the production team.

As soon as Li He returned home, the brothers and sisters calculated and deducted the capital and earned 232 yuan. This frightened Li Mei and said, "That's right."

When the fourth child heard this, he immediately muttered, "My third brother and I have calculated it several times, and there is not even a dime difference."

Li Mei's troubles came. It was difficult to hide money. Finally, it was unsafe to stuff the bedside, and she was afraid of rats when stuffing bricks into the wall. Finally, she found a jar and stuffed it, sealed the head, and stuffed it under the bed in Li He's room.

Li He looked very funny, "Sister, give our mother 50 yuan, just tell her what she has earned in the past few days, and let her pay off the old debts from outside. My uncle and I have both."

Li Mei glared, "Now you still want to teach me? My mother asked me yesterday. She probably doesn't have the nerve to ask you two brothers. I just said I made 20 yuan."

While eating, Wang Yulan heard that she had earned fifty yuan in three days. She was happy and worried at the same time. After all, this was a speculative thing. "Is this really going to happen?"

Li He didn't even wait to finish chewing the chicken bones in his mouth, he puffed up his cheeks and said casually, "It's okay."

After the meal, the two brothers continued to greet the eels that were brought over. Wang Yulan felt sorry for her two sons, "You guys haven't slept all night. You two can take a nap to collect the eels, and your eldest sister and I will be fine. It's not a physical job." , wash your feet quickly and go to bed."

In fact, Li He couldn't help but sigh that being young was good. After struggling for a long time and driving back and forth for seven or eight hours, he could still hold on. However, his eyelids were still fighting and he didn't force himself to hold on. The two brothers went to take a nap.

After lying down for a while, the room was extremely hot, and there was no fan blowing. The key point was that there was no electricity, so I couldn't sleep well. I had to stand up and take the bamboo mat to the door to sleep under the shade of the tree. After all, the ventilation was much better than inside the house. .

Li and his two brothers were settling accounts, and when they encountered an old woman and a young daughter-in-law, they were too embarrassed to argue.

But two women, Wang Yulan and Li Mei, usually want to break a penny in half and spend it. How can they be so generous? Even if they pay a penny or two cents, they still have to see the truth.

Seeing such a money scene, the girls suddenly felt hopeful. They collected eels, weighed them, and kept accounts. They were no worse than the brothers, and they worked very hard.

When Li He woke up from sleep, he found that his grandfather was helping to put on the scale, and his grandmother was tying the mouth of the bag with a cloth.

The old couple has three sons and one daughter. Li Zhaokun is the eldest son. After the separation, according to rural custom, he usually lives with his younger son. He lives at the back of the village and rarely comes here.

According to the words of the elder couple, the eldest son is not living up to expectations and is in a bad situation. Out of sight and out of mind, even if he can make up for it, he has to have a degree. You can't use the younger son to fill the eldest brother's hole. For the sake of the eldest son and his family, the elder couple have nothing Stop sighing.

Li He moved a stool from the house, placed it under the shade of a tree, and handed another cigarette, "Master, milk, it's so hot, you guys have a rest. There are many people in the family, so we are busy enough."

The old man Li Fucheng handed the scale in his hand to Li Long, walked to the shade of a tree, took a cigarette, lit a matchstick and said with a smile, "How can it be so valuable? You went to my place the day before yesterday, and I forgot to ask you about the exam." How about it, I’ll come and take a look today.”

Li He also lit a cigarette and said, "Sir, all good students can pass the exam. I have this confidence."

I remember that he was still very popular. Wasn't he the top scorer in the county's science college entrance examination?

There are less than 2,000 people taking the college entrance examination in the county, and most of them are educated youth, workers, and even farmers. There is an age limit for the college entrance examination in 79, and many people have changed their age, and even used their student status to take the college entrance examination. .

He was also selected as a general among the dwarfs, entered the Imperial University, and was able to eat commercial food. But this was an incredible thing, and the village even gave him a sponsorship of 200 yuan.

Li Fucheng smiled and narrowed his eyes, "That's good. I've always known that our child is determined to live up to his expectations. Now that I'm old, I can't help you with anything. You have to rely on yourself."

Li He's nose turned sore, "Master, it's okay. I'm old now, and I can take care of myself. I'm afraid that after I leave, the family won't know what to do. The eldest sister is not married, and the third child is about to get married, so I just want to take advantage of the summer vacation to get some spare money, so as to leave some foundation for my family. "

Li Fucheng took a long puff of cigarette, "Your grandma and I are also worried about this. Although your father is a bastard, you can't get past him in this wedding. Your grandma and I can only watch from the sidelines. I can’t be the master of this."

After hearing this, Li He knew it was true, so he didn't continue, and then thought about the problem of the house at home, "Master, I want to build 3 more houses while I have some spare money right now. What are the regulations in the production team, bricks, and houses?" Liang Mu, looking for a small job, a big job, I don't know anything about hospitality."

Li Fucheng was shocked when he heard from his eldest daughter-in-law that he earned more than 20 yuan a day. This month, he earned more than 600 yuan.

"I also heard a few words from your mother-in-law, saying that you can work for more than 20 yuan a day, and you can build three houses for 400 yuan, which is enough for you to work for one stage."

The whole family had already received instructions from Li He. When people asked, just say "earn hard money". If you said too much, there would inevitably be a jealous person who would cause trouble for you.

As for building a house, it won't be too out of the ordinary. If you have many sons and a wife, building a house in the village is normal.

The two men discussed the details and gave the old man 100 yuan tomorrow to make a deposit. The red bricks would be sent first.
