Winner in life

Seeing this sentence means that the purchase ratio is not enough. Ruihe took out the cloth ticket and money. The salesperson took it and checked it carefully. Then he put the ticket and money into the cloth bag on the wire above his head. He gently turned the pulley and flew back with the bag. The accountant sitting on the desk behind stood up, took down the money, gave the change and wrote the invoice, and then pushed the bag back.

"Are you going to make a new cotton coat?"

Rui He nodded: "The one from previous years has been repaired beyond repair. Last year's cloth ticket bought thin cotton for summer clothes, and this year's cloth ticket will buy thick cotton for winter clothes."

"You already earn so much, so you don't need to save so much. If you don't have enough cloth tickets, just exchange them with others."

Ruihe didn't respond. No one could understand or tell him about his future plans, so he still lived a frugal life. Besides, this life was good enough. He interrupted: "Let's go home."

On the other hand, Zhang Cuiberry also chose the cloth he wanted. They had just gone to the department store, and there were indeed more than a dozen long skirts hanging there, reaching to the instep of their feet. They were said to be made of corduroy material, and the colors were khaki, light gray, black and brown. The price is very expensive, one piece costs 17 yuan and 80 cents. Zhang Cuibei was scared away, but she still couldn't bear to part with the skirt she had dreamed of. The drooping curvature and elegance of the skirt decorated the dream of this nineteen-year-old girl. So she gritted her teeth and went to the cloth shop to pull cloth and planned to make it herself.

"One foot of corduroy wick costs two yuan and sixty cents. It takes at least two feet to make a skirt, right? That's more than three yuan!" Zhang Tianci felt that making skirts was not necessary at all. He had to work every day, carrying and carrying. , Wearing a skirt is so troublesome!

"I want to buy it." Zhang Cuili's face looked a little strange, "If I don't usually wear it, I have to wear it someday."

"What day?"

Zhang Cuibei's face suddenly darkened: "It's none of your business! I can wear it any day I like!"

When Rui He came over, he saw that the atmosphere between the two was strange. He was very anxious when he saw that they had a conflict, so he quietly asked Zhang Tianci: "Did you two quarrel?"

Zhang Tianci was even more baffled: "It wasn't noisy. He suddenly ignored me."

Zhang Cuili put the cloth away carefully and looked at Ruihe and the others: "Let's go. Do you want to buy anything else?"

"Then go back to the commune. I want to go to the grocery store to buy meat."

The four people happily went to the town, but when they returned, the atmosphere was weird. Ruihe couldn't see the reason why, and only felt that something was wrong. After saying goodbye to Zhang Cuibei, Zhang Tianci's shoulders suddenly collapsed. Li Dashui decrypted and said: "Brother Zhang, did you say the wrong thing to make Sister Zhang angry? Don't rush to deny it. Originally, Sister Zhang was very happy to buy cloth to make skirts. Yeah, why did I end up with a bad face when I bought the cloth? It must be your problem."

When it comes to buying cloth, Zhang Tianci still has a lot of dissatisfaction: "It's so hard to make money, it's so good to buy some meat and eggs, how about making a dress." He muttered in a low voice, "It looks so immodest." He said these last few words. It was so quiet that neither Ruihe nor Li Dashui heard it clearly.

"Brother Tianci, you don't understand." Seeing that Zhang Tianci didn't understand the style, Li Dashui thought he had experience, so he taught Zhang Tianci his experience, "Sister Cui Mei is a girl. Girls all love to be beautiful. My sister That's the case. Anyway, Sister Cuiberry can make money by herself, so if she wants to buy it, it would be great to make her happy. If you want it better, she will be happier."

"Why should I send it?"

Li Dashui's eyes widened: "Aren't you two lovers?"

Zhang Tianci blushed: "Don't talk nonsense, we are good comrades who work together. Okay, I'm home, see you next time." After that, he left quickly.

Rui He finally came to his senses: "Are they in love?"

"Oh my God, you finally understand. I've given you hints so many times. Didn't you notice that the eyes of those two people are always stuck together, and they are very close to each other when they walk? Tsk, tsk, tsk, love is so good."

Ruihe: "..."

"But Brother Tianci seems to be very confused about style. If my partner wants to buy a dress, I will definitely pay for it and give it to her. I will buy whatever she wants..."

Seeing Li Dashui's budding look of love, Ruihe asked, "Do you have a girl you like?"

"Hehehe, my mother said she wanted to go on a blind date for me, and I don't know who it is." But even this was enough for this young man to fantasize about.

Rui He smiled: "That's good. Then when you have a successful blind date, tell me and I will give you a wedding gift."

"Yeah!" Li Dashui nodded shyly.

The two went to the non-staple food store again before going home. After putting things away, Ruihe was so tired that he sat on the bed and didn't want to move.

"On the 24th of the New Year, I already feel like celebrating the New Year." Listening to the laughter of children outside and the sporadic sound of breaking cannons, Ruihe couldn't help but sigh, "This world is really too similar to my home."

System 460 is silent. The architectural foundation and design inspiration of this mission world actually come from the ancient earth. The process is equivalent to the ancient earth and ancient China in the early 1970s. The world where the host Xu Ruihe lives is a parallel plane to the ancient earth, and its development process and civilization inheritance are very similar. In the vast universe, there are countless similar parallel planes, but some have been annihilated and some are still moving forward. But this is not something it can say. We can only wait for the host to discover the connection between this place and his real world.

Being good at discovery and utilizing it properly is the only way for a host to grow up.

So it only replied: "Host, it's raining outside."

Rui He was startled. He opened the window and took a look. Sure enough, it was raining lightly outside. He hurried out to collect his clothes. When I was packing my clothes, I met Mrs. Zhang. Ruihe said hello. Mrs. Zhang smiled at him in a very friendly manner. Before she hurriedly carried the clothes into the house, she said, "Come to my house for dinner tonight!" and asked him to do so. Not even a chance to refuse.

After taking the clothes into the house and hanging them up to dry again, Ruihe looked at the horse's hoof clock and saw that it was already 5:15 pm. When he was cooking at noon, he cooked too much and saved the fried rice for tonight. He didn't really want to go next door to eat. It was uncomfortable and awkward. So he held an umbrella and went over to say something. Zhang Dashan was squatting at the door peeling radishes. When he saw him coming over, he quickly greeted him: "Come in. It's raining outside."

Rui He had no choice but to go into the house. As soon as he explained his intention, Zhang Dashan interrupted him: "If you want any leftovers, come to brother's house to eat!" Leftovers are also a good thing these days. They are dry and full. Rui He still declined: "It's not a waste, let's do it next time. I'll bother you when I come to my brother's place next time. Where's my sister-in-law? You tell your sister-in-law not to cook my food, and I'll go right away." After saying that, he went back regardless of the obstruction.

It's not like he didn't notice Zhang Dashan's hesitant look, but he didn't want to pry.

Over the past year or so, Ruihe has gotten to know Zhang Dashan better. Back then, when Mrs. Zhang glared at him because he brought more sweet potatoes, Zhang Dashan defended him. At that time, he was very moved. After obtaining the memory of the original person, he realized that it was just Zhang Dashan's usual behavior. Zhang Dashan did nothing, and pretended to be invisible. Anyway, Mrs. Zhang was in charge of everything. In the village, people still talk about Mrs. Zhang's cruel treatment of her mother-in-law to this day, but almost no one mentions Zhang Dashan's name.

When the family was separated last year, Sister-in-law Zhang was arguing about how to divide the family from beginning to end, and Zhang Dashan just remained silent.

As the saying goes, showing courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing. How strange is it to treat yourself to dinner every year after so many separate families? But when he passed by just now, Zhang Dashan didn't say anything. He heard the sound of Mrs. Zhang cooking in the kitchen...

"Oh, I don't know what it is." Ruihe put the rain gear away, closed the door and started cooking. "System, what do you think the big brother will do if he comes to me? I have nothing but money now."

He was talking and cooking, but he didn't care that System 460 didn't respond to him. System 460 listened and suddenly asked: "What are you going to do if I ask you for money?"

Rui He was obviously happy. He was very happy when the system responded to him in ten sentences. After hearing what the system said clearly, he thought for a moment: "Then it depends on what the money is for and how much you want to borrow. I won't do it if it's too much." "Borrow." Suddenly he thought of something, "System, can you have New Year's Eve dinner with me?" He looked forward to it, his dark face bright, "It's just the two of us, can you eat?" Do you like fish? Or meatballs?”

System 460 suddenly lost its voice. It wanted to speak, but seemed to have lost the ability to speak. It was as if the language program in my body was out of control and my mind was filled with gibberish.

"System? System, are you here?"

"I'm here. Sorry host, I don't need to eat. I don't eat fish or meatballs." After a pause, System 460 said, "Thank you for the invitation."

The light in Rui He's eyes quickly dissipated, and he lowered his eyes and said, "Okay."

After a quick meal, Ruihe went to read a book again. He thought of his sister Xu Ruizhu. Now that he had money, he could buy a lot of things. He also wanted to buy the things Aunt Xiu'e wanted to buy like Dashui, and he also wanted to buy a dowry for his sister like Zhang Tianci.

But he has no sister now.

For the New Year's Eve dinner in a few days, it will be just me.

After thinking about it, he didn't even turn over a page of the textbook. He pursed his lips and quickly pressed his nose with the back of his hand.

I'm older, I'm fourteen, I have to be brave.

Hold it back, hold it back, and push back the tears.

But my eyes were still blurry, and I couldn't see clearly the words on the textbook in front of me.

After seeing this, System 460 was a little worried about the host's mental health and regretted that he had just refused so directly. A qualified system should keep the host physically and mentally healthy and in good condition to perform tasks within the scope of power.

After thinking about it, the code in my mind was beating, and System 460 finally came up with a remedy that I thought was very good. So Ruihe, who was rubbing his eyes in embarrassment, heard the voice of the system tablet: "Host, I can't eat, but I can sit with you on New Year's Eve until you finish eating."

Rui He let go and said in surprise: "Really?"

"Really, I never lie."

Rui He showed a big smile: "Thank you."

"These fruits are not too sweet because they are wild. Ahem, they are actually quite sour." Li Dashui touched the back of his head, "But this does not mean that these oranges are nutritious. My mother plans to make orange jam. Do you have any white sugar at home? If so, I’ll ask my mom how to make jam and I’ll teach you.”

"There is sugar at home, so you can teach me after asking my aunt. It would be a pity not to eat so many fruits." Ruihe peeled off an orange with a yellow peel. A sour smell hit his nostrils as soon as the peel was peeled off. The orange was small, He ate it all in one bite. As a result, his eyes and nose were so sour that his eyes and nose were twisted into a ball, and his saliva could hardly be controlled.

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

Rui He hurriedly covered his mouth, bent down to swallow the orange, and burst into tears.

"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 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. The spring plowing time came, 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 57 more work points.

Soon, the year passed. At the end of the year, Ruihe used 34 yuan to approve a residential land in the production team, which was 75 square meters. Because the village had a rule that one household could only be approved for one residential land, and the maximum area was 75 square meters. Ruihe asked quietly, and Li Dashui asked from his father that although only one piece could be approved, the house could be bought at will, and the higher authorities did not care how many houses you bought. However, Ruihe was not well-off enough to buy a house, so he put it aside for the time being.

Because he had basic food rations and the grain earned from the work points accumulated during the four busy seasons of sowing and harvesting in a year, Ruihe's expenditure on grain this year did not exceed fifty yuan. In addition to other trivial expenses and medical expenses for two illnesses at the beginning and middle of the year, he saved four hundred and twenty yuan this year. With the twenty yuan he got when the family was divided, he now has a small savings. But Ruihe was reluctant to buy a house with this money, and he always had to prepare it for emergencies.

After the factory stopped working, Ruihe renovated his home. A typhoon in the summer made the mud house even more dilapidated, and it would always drip when it rained. After some repairs, it will be better to celebrate the Spring Festival. This year, Ruihe refused Zhang Dashan's request to have a New Year's Eve dinner together. Zhang Dashan's face was not very good, but he still said nothing.

Ruihe scratched his hair and looked at Zhang Dashan's back as he left, then lowered his head to continue packing. He had a good relationship with his co-workers Zhang Tianci and Zhang Cuimei in the factory. Ruihe worked very hard to make more money, and he also motivated the two of them very actively. In addition, Ruihe had a good temper, and many times he did more work alone. The friendship of making money together made the relationship between the three people better and better. Maybe at some point Zhang Tianci and the other two were a little dissatisfied with the extra work, but when the wages were actually in their hands, the hard work was not worth mentioning.

He packed two large backpacks that were half a person's height, planning to give one to himself and one to Li Dashui, and Dashui would 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.
