Reborn in 1977

Seeing Chen Fan laughing so hard he could barely close his mouth, Xiao Liewen, with his hands behind his back, chuckled and said, "I knew he'd like this. Look at him, he's like a rich man who fell into a money jar and can't move."

The others around him laughed.

Chen Fan, thick-skinned, didn't take it to heart. So what if he got laughed at a few times? Once I level up my Language of Animals skill, I'll scare them to death!

Putting the puppy on the cart, Chen Fan was about to take out money. "Brother Sanhu, how much did this puppy cost?"

Zhang Wenliang's face turned stern. "What money, money, money? You think you're a big shot because you earned tens of dollars today? I told you it's a gift, why are you still asking about money?"

Chen Fan smiled sheepishly. "If you were giving me something from your own field, I'd accept it. But this was bought with money, how can I let you pay for it?"

Zhang Wenliang pointed at him, saying grumpily, "You're just stubborn."

After a pause, he explained, "It didn't cost any money. It's from my cousin. His dog had puppies, and he brought them to the market to try his luck. He didn't really expect to sell them for money, just to find a home for the puppies, otherwise he couldn't afford to raise so many.

Originally, almost no one here buys dogs with money. We all wait for the dogs in our acquaintances' homes to have puppies and then take one or two back to raise.

I thought you liked playing with dogs, and all the dogs in the team get along with you, so I told him. When he heard it was to pick a puppy for you, he didn't hesitate to choose the two best ones."

After saying that, he looked at Chen Fan. "Are you still going to give money?"

Chen Fan neatly stuffed the money into his pocket, shaking his head with a serious face. "I can't give it. Otherwise, wouldn't you be getting something for nothing? I can't let you make a mistake."

Hearing this, not to mention Zhang Wenliang, even Secretary Yang laughed so hard that he choked on his smoke and couldn't speak.

After catching his breath, Zhang Changjiang asked, "Are you going back now, or what?"

Chen Fan pointed ahead. "I still need to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy something. I'll go back after I buy it, and I won't delay work in the afternoon."

Zhang Changjiang nodded, then pointed at him. "What do you need to buy? Do you have coupons?"

Chen Fan smiled. "I have coupons. I exchanged some meat for coupons just now, enough to use."

Hearing him say this, Zhang Changjiang stopped talking, waved his hand, "Okay, then go ahead and get busy. Come back to the brigade earlier after you're done, don't delay work."

Chen Fan nodded, returned to the donkey cart, sat down, called Jiang Lili to get on the cart, and moved forward, waving the whip.

Watching the donkey cart slowly drive away, Secretary Yang, with his hands behind his back, frowned and asked softly, "Who is that girl?"

Zhang Changjiang shook his head. "Her head is wrapped up so that only her eyes are visible, who can tell?"

After saying that, looking at the backs of the two, he suddenly had an idea, and said to Secretary Yang in a low voice, "Do you suspect he's seeing someone?"

Before Secretary Yang could speak, Zhang Wenliang said from the side, "Uncle, don't talk nonsense. That's Little Jiang from the educated youth spot. Chen Fan invited her to help sell turtle meat. I know about this, Yang Chuanfu and the others all know."

Hearing him say this, Zhang Changjiang and Secretary Yang suddenly nodded.

At this time, Xiao Liewen said to Zhang Wenliang, "You still have to remind Yang Chuanfu to pay attention to the situation between the two of them. After all, a single man and a single woman living under the same roof, it doesn't matter in the short term, but after a long time, even if nothing happens, people will spread rumors as if something did.

Chen's background hasn't been clarified yet. It's okay if he's from an ordinary family, and it doesn't matter even if he's made mistakes before. But I'm afraid he's from a big cadre's family. If he settles down here and has children, the trouble will be big."

Ye Shubao immediately took over his words, "That's right, look at Chen's appearance, his skin is fair and tender, and he doesn't know many common sense things, but he's very capable. This is clearly a characteristic of children from big cadre families.

Only those kinds of families will spin around in their own circles and not have much contact with the outside world. Most of these people pay attention to matching social status, and they find wives and partners from similar families. If they find someone, one person comes out and three people go back, the consequences are really unimaginable."

Xiao Liewen snorted coldly, "Still unimaginable? What's unimaginable? We're not cadres, what can they do to us?"

After a pause, he said again, "I'm just afraid that something bad will happen and affect the collective honor of our Lujiawan."

Ye Shubao looked at him and laughed, "Isn't that the same thing?"

Xiao Liewen shook his hand, turned to look at Zhang Wenliang, "Anyway, convey this meaning to Yang Chuanfu."

Zhang Wenliang nodded, "I know this."

Then he looked at the four of them and smiled, "Actually, I talked to Captain Yang about this last time. His idea is that after the new year, the few educated youths who went home will all return. At that time, it won't be a single man and a single woman anymore, and we won't have to worry about something happening."

Secretary Yang nodded, "It's good if he has an idea in his mind."

Then he waved his hand, "Let's go, back to the brigade."

After saying that, he took the lead and walked in front.

Zhang Changjiang took two quick steps to walk side by side with him, and suddenly asked, "What do you think about what Stationmaster Zhou and Master Liu said just now?"

Secretary Yang didn't stop walking, nor did he speak, but his brows furrowed slightly, obviously thinking.

At this time, Xiao Liewen also followed, and said in a low voice, "They want Chen to be a veterinarian. Actually, I don't think it's impossible. Anyway, he works as a broadcaster for only 3 hours a day, and he can go out for consultations the rest of the time, or build a veterinary clinic in the brigade headquarters. If the team's livestock gets sick, they can send it directly, saving the trouble of going to the commune's veterinary station."

Ye Shubao spread his hands to the side, "But Chen is not willing."

Xiao Liewen said without thinking, "Then give him an order, in the name of the brigade headquarters, arrange for him to go to the veterinary station for further study. Anyway, he'll study for two months, come over after getting off work in the morning, and go back to work the night shift after he finishes studying. The brigade headquarters will reimburse his food expenses, and he won't suffer any losses."

Ye Shubao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Do you think he's your soldier, giving orders?"

Xiao Liewen stared and said, "We are brigade cadres, and he is the brigade's broadcaster. He was originally our soldier, what's wrong with that?"

Secretary Yang suddenly waved his hand, "Not appropriate, a forced melon is not sweet. We still have to make him willing to be a veterinarian."

Xiao Liewen turned to look at him, "Then what do you say we should do?"

Secretary Yang narrowed his eyes and thought for a while, "I have an idea, give him two jobs."

Zhang Changjiang's eyes rolled slightly, "You mean, give him 20 work points a day?"

Xiao Liewen was surprised when he heard this, "Isn't that exceeding the standard?"

Ye Shubao had a different opinion, "I think what Lao Yang said makes sense. He was originally doing two jobs, you only give him one share of work points, who would be willing?

Moreover, two shares of work points have been given before. When working on the river, which strong laborer didn't get 20 work points a day? It's just that that was only for one or two months, and this is for the whole year. The nature is actually the same."

Xiao Liewen smacked his lips, "The principle is this principle, but there is no precedent for this."

Zhang Changjiang thought for a while, "Why don't we call all the captains of the various teams together to hold a meeting and discuss it?"

Secretary Yang nodded, "There must be this regulation. In addition, we have to apply to Commune Secretary Qian. Although the affairs of the production team are decided and resolved internally by the production team, we are, after all, under the leadership of the commune, so we still have to communicate this matter."

Zhang Changjiang nodded slowly, "Okay, let's do it that way."

After saying that, he suddenly turned to look at Zhang Wenliang, who was one step behind, "Later, find a chance to sound him out. After we have discussed it, we can talk to him."

Zhang Wenliang was envying Chen Fan for being able to get two shares of work points. Hearing Zhang Changjiang's words, he suddenly came back to his senses and nodded repeatedly, "Understood, I will talk to him this afternoon when I go back."

But in his heart, he was thinking, who would refuse such a good thing as being able to get 20 points a day?

Just as they were silently calculating how to get Chen Fan to be a veterinarian, Chen Fan drove the donkey cart and stopped steadily in front of the supply and marketing cooperative's store.
