Winner in life

Seeing this sentence means that the purchase ratio is not enough. "Don't hide it from me! I still know who she is? As your neighbor, who doesn't know that she is mean? She looks very virtuous, but who doesn't know that she gave your mother porridge and water that year? , Not even a grain of rice? Another time you threw away your mother’s bowl? Xiaoshan, don’t be like my aunt and endure it until you starve yourself!”

It was the first time I heard about the original mother, but I didn’t expect to have such a relationship with the original sister-in-law? Porridge water? He tentatively said: "My mother didn't leave because of this."

Li Dashui snorted: "It must have something to do with it. Have you forgotten how skinny my aunt was when she left? The skin is close to the bones, yes! I know! You also want to say that there was really nothing to eat during the drought that year. I don’t believe that your sister-in-law swept your mother’s bowl and refused to let her eat. I am your friend and not a member of your family. In fact, your sister-in-law can’t bully me in any way. Xiaoshan, I still remember that time when I was six years old. It was you who kept dragging me, otherwise I would have drowned. I just said a few words like this. If you can listen, you can listen. If you can't, I can't help you." He patted Ruihe on the shoulder, "Tonight. Come to my house after dinner and I’ll leave you some roasted sweet potatoes.”

Rui He listened to a lot of old stories, but he really couldn't connect Li Dashui's words with his sister-in-law. Although his sister-in-law... did give him a little bit of shame, but she didn't scold him or hit him, so he felt that he was a good person. Alas, it's useless to think so much. That is Zhang Xiaoshan's sister-in-law, and she is Xu Ruihe.

He gratefully said to Li Dashui: "No, don't worry. I have something to eat at home. I will definitely have enough tonight."

Li Dashui didn't quite believe it. He finally sighed and advised earnestly: "Don't always think that you are a freeloader. You are sixteen! We are young. At most, the captain only gives us eight work points. You also do enough every day." Sixty-seven points, and there was an eight-point score before. The food you earned was enough for you. In the past, when my aunt was still here, you had work points, but now you are eating for free? , If your sister-in-law talks about you, just push back and don’t give her too much face.”

Li Dashui's words opened a window for Ruihe, and Ruihe's eyes lit up! He had only seen the freshly dug sweet potatoes distributed by the production team a while ago, and thought that only those were earned by himself. No matter how thin the sweet potato porridge was, there was still rice in it. He didn't know that the rice also had its original identity, so he would dare to go there. What about choosing what to eat?

It turns out that the original owner was very hardworking and distributed food every year!

He couldn't help but smile, suddenly feeling confident.

He nodded seriously: "Thank you for caring about me so much, I will take care of it."

Li Dashui smiled with satisfaction, "Then I'll wait for your news."

The next day, Li Dashui pulled Rui He and asked him how he managed it last night. Rui He pursed his lips and smiled: "I got two extra steamed sweet potatoes last night!"

"...No, no more?"

Rui He looked at him in confusion: "Do you want anything else? I had a full meal last night. My sister-in-law glared at me several times and I pretended I couldn't see her." At this point, he showed a proud expression of successful resistance, " I earned the sweet potatoes myself, so I wasn’t afraid of her. Later, my brother asked her if her eyes were uncomfortable, so she didn’t dare to stare at me.”

Li Dashui: "..."

Seeing his good friend's expression of "My brother is so nice", Li Dashui really wanted to call a thunderbolt, split open this silly boy's head, see if there was any old cotton wadding inside, and then burn it so that this boy could Be smart.

"Your brother just likes to be a good person." Li Dashui rolled his eyes. Seeing his friend looking at him in confusion, he nodded his friend's forehead, "Forget it, I won't say it anymore. You're good like this. Eat more when you are hungry and don’t treat yourself badly.”

"Um!"

Ruihe felt that his life was getting better. Although he felt a little heartburn after eating too many sweet potatoes, he still felt full and the number of times he was woken up by hunger at night to drink well water decreased. As he became more accustomed to this world, Ruihe's psychological pressure also began to weaken, and his mentality tended to be easy-going. With more sleep and satisfied appetite, his body began to develop significantly. Two months have passed, and he has grown ten centimeters longer than when he arrived. His physique has also changed from thin to well-proportioned, and his cheeks have begun to gain flesh.

Another day, Li Dashui told Ruihe that the bamboo factory in the village was going to expand production, so it needed to recruit workers!

"I heard it's a piece-rate system, and you can get 30 cents and 4 cents for every bamboo basket you make. If you make three baskets, you'll get one dollar! My mother said that in the factory, there are three people working in teams. No matter how many baskets are made in a day, the labor is divided equally. One person can get eighty cents a day, or even one yuan!”

Rui He opened his eyes and opened his mouth like Li Dashui, and asked in a low voice: "One dollar?" After Li Dashui nodded excitedly, Rui He also felt his heart burning up. He asked carefully: "How much can one dollar buy here?" A piece of ocean in his hometown can buy a load of rice or five big fat chickens! I don’t know the difference between a dollar here and an ocean…

Li Dashui excitedly counted to Ruihe: "You can buy a hundred fruit candies! You can also buy a pound and a half of pork!" He clapped his hands vigorously, "By the way, you can also buy 600 firecrackers!"

"What about rice? How much rice can I buy?"

Li Dashui did the math and was a little unsure: "Six pounds or seven pounds, right? I heard my mother say a few days ago that the rice in the grain store is one pound, one quarter and two cents."

Rui He secretly calculated and found that a dollar here was indeed different from that in the ocean. But it was good. He could buy one and a half kilograms of pork. He really wanted to eat meat. He used to work in the house for ten days and a half and he could still eat a little bit of oil refining residue. During the festival, the owner of the house wanted to offer sacrifices. , a lot of meat can be distributed at that time, and the housekeeper will no longer be harsh on them, and each person can share two big fat slices. That was the happiest time for him and his sister.

"The wages are so high, isn't it difficult to get into the factory?" There must be many people rushing for such a good job, and Ruihe calmed down immediately.

Li Dashui nodded: "It's not easy to get in, and the recruitment process is very strict! If you can weave bamboo baskets and bread bowls, the factory in our village can handle these two types of work."

Ruihe became even more frustrated: "But I can't weave bamboo baskets and bread bowls. By the way, what is a bread bowl?"

"Bread is a type of bun made by foreigners. The supply and marketing cooperative in town sells that kind of bread! It smells so good! The bread bowl is where the bread is placed, a bit like a washbasin."

Li Dashui has a childish temper, and whenever he talks about things to play and eat, the topic can go as far as one hundred and eighty miles away. Rui He quickly asked: "Then what are you going to do? You always say you heard about it, but who did you hear it from?" "

"Oh my God! My mother asked me to answer the call, but the little work I did was of little use anyway."

According to the established rules in the village, generally those under the age of twenty cannot be counted as full work points, eight points is considered the most, and others have three, four, five or six points. Li Dashui is the youngest son and has older brothers and sisters. Although he cannot be called lazy, he cannot be called diligent or hardworking. Now it’s good to be able to remember four to five minutes a day. His mother thought that it would be better to let him go to the factory to earn some money. Anyway, the family had a large population and enough work points, so there was no shortage of his work points.

If you have more living money at home, it will be easier to buy whatever you need. The second son and eldest daughter have both reached the age of marriage, and the family has long started to save cloth stamps, candy stamps, etc. However, if there is no money, they cannot buy anything even if they have stamps.

Hearing what Li Dashui said, Ruihe was really envious. It was great to have a mother, and he missed his mother too. He was seven years old at that time, and his mother was doing embroidery work next to her. The candlelight illuminated her brows and eyes, which looked very gentle. Mother's voice was also very gentle: "Ahe, after mother has handed over these tasks, I will send you to school tomorrow and learn some principles from books."

At that time, I only held my three-year-old sister in my arms and coaxed her, and was unwilling to go to school: "I have to take care of my sister, chop firewood and help my father run a stall, so I don't have time to go to school."

Ruihe suddenly thought of his mother, and his eyes were sore.

Li Dashui suddenly stopped speaking, tilted his head and glanced at Ruihe carefully, patted his forehead with some annoyance, and then put his arm around Ruihe's shoulders: "I told you this because I want you to sign up too."

"But I can't make it up."

"I don't know how to do it either! So my mother has hired someone to teach me. Then you can learn with me."

It turns out that Li Dashui's mother is really a smart person. Since she plans to let her son enter the factory, she must let her son learn what he should learn. As soon as she found out about the factory's recruitment news, she immediately found a master for Li Dashui. He was an old man in the factory who was called Brother Yong. He happened to be somewhat related to Li Dashui. After careful calculation, Li Dashui would call him his cousin. of.

Li Dashui said that his mother gave Brother Yong ten pounds of sweet potatoes and a twenty-tael candy coupon as a gift, and Ming Yong agreed to teach Li Dashui.

I taught for five days in the evening, and the factory started recruiting people five days later.

"We'll start studying tonight. Come to my house after dinner and we'll go together."

Rui He was very moved, but he was a little worried about what if he went to the factory and had no work points and the team didn't give him food?

Li Dashui exclaimed: "Have you forgotten? There is food distributed every year even if there are no centimeters."

It turns out that now we pay attention to large collectives, and people who have no work and no cents can still get 108 kilograms of grain every year. How did Ruihe know this? He could barely hide the surprise on his face when he heard it for the first time.

Are there such good things? This place is really good. As long as you work hard, you will have food to eat. If you don't work, you can still share the food.

"I almost forgot. I remember everything." He quickly fooled around and kept the news in his heart. One hundred and eight kilograms of rice a year may seem like a small amount, but when he makes money, he can buy food by himself. There are gains and there are losses, and he understands this.

He quickly made up his mind: "Then I will study with you!"

At this time, he didn't know that rice could not be bought with money.

Li Dashui snorted: "It must be related. Have you forgotten how thin my aunt was when she left? The skin is close to the bones, yes! I know! You also want to say that there was really nothing to eat during the drought that year. I don’t believe that your sister-in-law swept your mother’s bowl to prevent her from eating. I am your friend and not from your family. In fact, your sister-in-law can’t bully me in any way. Xiaoshan, I still remember that time when I was six years old. It was you who kept dragging me, otherwise I would have drowned. I just said a few words like this. If you can listen, you can listen. If you can't, I can't help you." He patted Ruihe on the shoulder, "Tonight. Come to my house after dinner and I’ll leave you some roasted sweet potatoes.”

Rui He listened to a lot of old stories, and he really couldn't connect Li Dashui's words with his sister-in-law. Although his sister-in-law... did give him a little shame, but she didn't scold or hit him, so he felt that he was a good person. Alas, it's useless to think so much. That is Zhang Xiaoshan's sister-in-law, and she is Xu Ruihe.

He gratefully said to Li Dashui: "No, don't worry. I have something to eat at home. I will definitely have enough tonight."

Li Dashui didn’t quite believe it. Finally, he sighed and advised earnestly: “Don’t always think that you are eating for free. You are sixteen! We are young, and the team leader only gives us eight work points at most. You also work six or seven points every day. There was once an eight-point work. The food you earn is enough for you to eat. When your aunt was still here, there were also work points. How can you be considered eating for free? Now you eat the food you earn yourself. If your sister-in-law says anything to you, just fight back. Don’t give her too much face.”
