Winner in life

《Life Winner [Quick Transmigration]》

When we arrived at Ruihe's house, Li Dashui automatically pulled out a bamboo basket from the pile of bamboo woven products in the corner and poured a whole basket of oranges into it. Ruihe hurriedly took it back: "I'm alone, how can I eat it all? Take it back and share it with your family."

"I already have more than ten kilograms at home! There are mountains and forests over there in Xialu Commune. Xiaocong has relatives there who know where there are wild oranges, so he took us there specially. I've been there twice, and I've stored a lot at home. These are all for you."

Xialu Commune is actually the commune where one of the original body's sisters married. Ruihe knew there were wild orange trees there, and his sister had brought some to the original body before. Ruihe's heart was warm, but: "I really can't finish it, what should I do?"

"These fruits are not very sweet because they are wild, ahem, they are actually quite sour." Li Dashui touched the back of his head, "But it's not that this kind of orange is nutritious, my mother plans to make orange jam. Do you have white sugar at home? If you do, I'll ask my mother how to make jam and then teach you."

"There is sugar at home, then you can ask your aunt and then teach me, it's a pity not to eat so many fruits." Ruihe peeled an orange with a yellower peel. As soon as the peel was broken, a sour smell came to his nose. The orange was small, so he ate it all in one bite. As a result, the sourness twisted his eyes and nose into a ball, and he could hardly control his saliva.

"I told you it was very sour, and you still swallowed it in one bite." Li Dashui laughed, and felt that his friend was a little silly, so he hurriedly asked him to spit it out.

Ruihe hurriedly covered his mouth, bent down and swallowed the orange, tears came out.

"It's delicious. I haven't eaten such fresh fruit for a long time." Ruihe finally recovered, his eyelashes soaked with tears, "It must be delicious when made into jam."

Li Dashui sighed: "It's just a waste of sugar, but my mother said that now I'm starting to make money, I don't feel bad about buying two more kilograms of sugar. Money is really a good thing."

"Money is really a good thing." If it weren't for the two dollars and a half tuition, Ruihe wouldn't be able to find a teacher to teach him. "The factory will start work in ten days, and I have found Mr. Xu Caiheng to teach me." Ruihe told Li Dashui about the matter, "I plan to study hard in these ten days. When the factory starts work, I won't have so much free time." Mr. Xu said he would come to teach him on weekends, but in fact, the bamboo factory does not necessarily have holidays every weekend. In fact, the holidays are uncertain. If there are large orders, there are no holidays at all. Therefore, these ten days are very important.

Li Dashui didn't expect Ruihe to be so motivated: "The money has been spent, so you really have to work hard." Two yuan and fifty cents, white sugar is seventy-eight cents per pound, his mother felt bad for using two pounds to make jam, but he didn't expect Xiaoshan to spend two yuan and fifty cents to find someone to tutor him without blinking, and he felt bad for the money just by listening to it.

"I will!" Ruihe nodded seriously.

Li Dashui: "..." He sighed and patted his friend's shoulder.

In his opinion, the two yuan and fifty cents were spent unjustly and not worth it. But on second thought, Xiaoshan is now the boss of the family, and he works very hard in the bamboo factory. He earns forty yuan a month, so spending a few yuan doesn't seem to be a big deal.

Li Dashui suddenly became ambitious. After the factory starts working after the New Year, he must work as hard as Xiaoshan, and make a lot of money to spend freely!

Ruihe didn't know that Li Dashui had set a great ambition to make a lot of money, and his mood was much more open. The depression and uneasiness that suddenly surged up after Xu Caiheng left were all gone, and he was full of expectations for tomorrow's class.

System 460 was also relieved. It seemed that although the host was young, he had good self-regulation ability. It was a little proud. This was the host it chose.

In the next ten days, Ruihe was studying all the time except for eating and sleeping. After class, Xu Caiheng left him and was still reviewing the course just now. Because of his cooperation and self-consciousness, Xu Caiheng praised him several times and said that he was "talented".

Ten days later, the factory started work. Ruihe had to go to work during the day, and Xu Caiheng also had to go to school. Therefore, according to the agreement, the class time was moved to Friday and Saturday nights. If Xu Caiheng was free on any night from Monday to Friday, he would also come to Ruihe's house.

After the New Year, it was 1973, and there were only four years to 1977. In order to catch up with the first exam after the resumption of the college entrance examination, Ruihe's study tasks were very tight. But the factory work could not be put aside. He had no one to rely on. He needed to support himself first. If he could really get into college in the future, it would be better if the college was free of tuition and there were subsidies, but he still had to have money on hand to feel at ease.

According to Zhang Xiaoshan's memory, after a few years, the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination spread to this ordinary small southern village. Who among the educated youth and other people in the village who wanted to take the exam did not study late at night? Work during the day and study at night? If others can do it, he can do it too.

"I started preparing earlier than them. Even if I have never learned it before, I believe I can learn it well." Ruihe set a goal of study ambitiously. Even if Xu Caiheng was not available, Ruihe would still study by himself until eleven o'clock at night.

The fulfilling days passed quickly. It was time for spring plowing, and the school gave a week off for students to help with farm work. The bamboo factory happened to have no big orders for delivery, so it also gave a week off.

Ruihe put on a straw hat again and went to the fields, earning himself an extra fifty-seven work points.

Soon, this year passed. At the end of the year, Ruihe used 34 yuan to approve a homestead for the production team, which was 75 square meters. Because the village stipulated that one household could only be granted one homestead, and the maximum area was only 75 square meters. . Ruihe inquired quietly, and Li Dashui asked from his father that although he could only approve one piece, the house could be bought at will, and the superiors didn't care how many houses you bought. But now Ruihe is not rich enough to buy a house, so he has put it on hold for the time being.

Because he has basic rations and food earned from four busy farming days of sowing and harvesting in a year, Ruihe did not spend more than fifty yuan on food this year, plus other trivial expenses and two times at the beginning and middle of the year. He has saved 420 yuan this year for medical expenses when he is sick. Plus the 20 yuan he received when the family was separated, he now has a small savings. But Ruihe couldn't bear to buy a house with this money, and always had it ready for emergencies.

After the factory shut down, Ruihe renovated his home. A typhoon in the summer made the earthen house even more dilapidated, and it always dripped when it rained. It took some repairs to make it easier to celebrate the Spring Festival. This year's Spring Festival, Ruihe refused Zhang Dashan's request to have New Year's Eve dinner together. Zhang Dashan's face didn't look good, but he still didn't say anything.

Rui He scratched his hair and looked at Zhang Dashan's back as he went out, then lowered his head and continued to pack his things. He has a good relationship with his co-workers Zhang Tianci and Zhang Cuipei in the factory. Ruihe usually works hard to make more money, which leads the two people to be very active. In addition, Rui He has a good temper, and he often does most of the work alone. The friendship of making money together makes the relationship between the three of them better and better. Maybe Zhang Tianci and his wife were dissatisfied with the extra work at some point, but when the wages were actually in their hands, all the hard work was no longer worth mentioning.

He packed up two large backpacks half as tall as a man, planning to give one to himself and one to Li Dashui, who would also go with them in the afternoon.

In order to stay in the factory, Li Dashui performed particularly well during the three-month trial period and was exceptionally recruited by the supervisor to join the factory and specialize in cutting bamboo slices. Later, Ruihe asked Li Dashui to join his group. There was no other way. They grouped three people to take turns cutting bamboo and cutting bamboo pieces for weaving. But Ruihe was much faster than the two of them. Whether it was weaving or preparing weaving materials, the whole process was The speed of the team was out of sync. Either there were not enough bamboo slices for him, or he cut too many bamboo slices for the team members to use.

After Li Dashui joined the group, Ruihe could concentrate on knitting, and the number of finished products increased significantly. When wages were settled at the end of the month, each person would earn an extra one yuan and forty cents. Since then, Zhang Tianci and the others have not spoken to each other.

This time we made an appointment to go shopping for New Year's goods together, which was also the result of the relationship between the four of us becoming more harmonious. At 12:30 noon, Li Dashui came to see Ruihe. The two of them carried a basket and went to the entrance of the village to meet Zhang Tianci. Then they met Zhang Cuibei at the entrance of the next village, and the four of them slowly walked toward the town.

"My mother made a list for me to buy. I brought out all my personal money." Li Dashui took out the list while walking and looked at it. "I have to buy all kinds of sweets, cakes and washbasins. Alas, I can't help it. I now He is also a man who makes money, so I will buy whatever my mother says." He complained about the trouble, but his eyes were filled with pride.

Zhang Tianci laughed: "Look at how successful you are as a villain."

"No matter how successful a villain is, he is obviously getting ahead~" Li Dashui shook his head and extended his orchid finger in a gesture, "I am also a rich man now."

"Come on, don't make me laugh." Zhang Tianci hammered Li Dashui's orchid finger off, and then sighed softly, "I didn't expect to earn so much after joining the factory. Now people listen to what I say at home. My dad, I My mother came to ask me for my opinion, and I really felt like I was in charge.”

Zhang Cuibei also nodded: "No, my mother always told me to get married early in the past. Now I make money and save it myself, and my younger brother doesn't dare to whisper to me anymore. It's better to make money by yourself. Once you make money, you will feel confident."

Rui He nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes."

Zhang Cuimei burst out laughing: "Little Shan, it's okay to carry such a big basket in the flood, but why are you doing the same? I remember you live alone."

"I want to buy some gifts for Mr. Xu." Rui He pursed his lips and smiled, "He has taught me seriously this year, and I am particularly grateful to him."

"I think you are too tired like this." They are all good friends. Zhang Cuibei couldn't help but give some advice, "Look, you have caught two colds this year, and both times you have high fever. The doctor said you are too tired. Always How can your body endure such hard work? "Three hundred and sixty-five days a year, without even a day off. In her opinion, there is really no need to study through gaps. Now working in factories, the piece-rate wages they earn are more than the wages of people in the city, and the wages of teachers are not much. She really doesn't understand why Zhang Xiaoshan is so stubborn.

Rui He didn't want to explain this problem because he had already explained it many times this year. After the news about Mr. Xu Caiheng helping him with tutoring spread out and more people knew about it, he would be asked questions by fellow villagers he met on the road. Later he realized clearly that everyone was just asking casually out of curiosity, so he stopped racking his brains to explain.

Sure enough, seeing Ruihe just lowering his eyes and smiling shyly, Zhang Cuibei stopped continuing the topic and turned to the things he wanted to buy today: "I heard that a batch of skirts came from the department store!" She lowered her voice mysteriously. , with a tone full of expectation, "I heard it looks good, but I haven't worn a skirt yet! No matter what, I must buy one to wear!"

Zhang Tianci frowned: "Skirt? I don't think it's good. Even if you buy it, it won't be easy to wear. Who in our village wears a skirt? It's not simple and not solemn."

"Why is it not solemn to wear a skirt? People in the city wear it too! It's long to the ankles! Don't worry, I plan to buy a dark one, the color must be simple." Zhang Cuimei strode forward with a dark face. Zhang Tianci smiled awkwardly at Ruihe and Li Dashui and hurried to catch up.

"Why do I feel that there is something wrong with them?" Li Dashui touched his chin.

Ruihe said "Huh?" in confusion: "Nothing is wrong, let's go!"
