Winner in life

Seeing this sentence means that the purchase ratio is not enough.

Just like that, three months after coming to this world, Ruihe left the village for the first time. There was a bicycle in the factory, and the old workers who could ride bicycles were the first to carry the bamboo baskets. The remaining large quantities were pulled by oxcarts. Ruihe sat on the outside edge of the oxcart and supported the pile behind him, which was higher than one person. Bamboo basket, swaying towards the city.

Along the way, Ruihe looked around with wide eyes at the pedestrians wearing gray clothes. Some are carrying backpacks, and some are carrying baskets. Children were laughing and running past. A girl fell down but did not cry. She got up and continued to chase: "Brother, wait for me! Brother!"

Ruihe watched intently until the girl's voice disappeared on the dusty dirt road. He turned around and saw a shop on the side of the road with the words "Patriotic Juice Shop" written on it. It was said to be a juice shop, but in fact there was a sign next to it with the words "Patriotic Juice", "Fried Juice", "Soup Noodles" etc. in big letters, indicating what it sold. Quite a few. He swallowed unconsciously after thinking for a moment.

?The sauce is a local specialty. It is steamed thin slices made from rice flour slurry ground with glutinous rice and water. It is cut into triangular pieces and cooked like noodles. Braised dried tofu, yuba, braised pork belly and Braised pig fat intestines, pork rice noodles and other foods taste smooth and chewy. The soup has both the rich aroma of rice and the rich aroma of marinade.

Just by exploring Zhang Xiaoshan's memories, Ruihe drooled all over the floor and felt his stomach growling.

That store is state-owned, and it actually serves late-night snacks when it's open for one day. Food stamps are required for meals. A bowl of juice costs thirty cents and two taels of food stamps.

Now Ruihe doesn't have a penny on him. Zhang Dashan and his wife kept all the tickets at home, and he didn't have any of them. Even if there was, he would not be willing to eat such a bowl of rich juice.

He looked at it for a long time, and his eyes were still there after the bullock cart passed by. Mingyong, who was riding in the same cart, smiled and said, "Want to try it? It's more affordable to cook it at home. You can use your food stamps to buy some glutinous rice and bring it to the village." The tofu mill costs only a penny per kilogram, and you can make the rice flour syrup at home. "

Rui He smiled and nodded: "Okay." He now knew how to get food stamps, so he would not rush to ask where to get food stamps.

"Well, it's better than before. I remember when I was a kid, there were a lot of breakfast stalls and late-night snack stalls on the roadside. A bowl of juice only cost a dime." Mingyong sighed, "It's not like now. You have to use whatever you buy. Ticket. Alas! "He is already twenty-seven years old, it is easy to get married!" Recently, he had to work overtime and purchase wedding supplies, and he was so tired that he lost weight.

In this age of the world, there are really many things that surprise Rui He. For example, this ticket is completely unheard of. He rummaged through Zhang Xiaoshan's memory. It seemed that in another five or six years, what kind of "reform and opening up" would there be? After that, the country began to undergo great changes. First, cloth stamps were cancelled, and then grain and oil stamps were cancelled. When Zhang Xiaoshan was thirty-seven, all stamps disappeared. You can buy many things with money in the market. As long as you have money, you can buy whatever you like. .

Ruihe plans to save a lot of money before he can buy what he wants. Like a house, it is imperative to separate the family, but the house at home is also very old. It is the house left by the original owner's parents, and it must be more than thirty years old.

And after reading Zhang Xiaoshan's memories, he knew that the future world would develop even better, with peace and prosperity. These were scenery that Ruihe had never seen before. He wanted to take a look and learn from it. As long as he works hard, he can get what he wants. This is such an exciting world.

He needs to be literate, see the world, and learn skills.

He wants to grow up and be his sister's support when he returns home.

After seeing Zhang Xiaoshan's memory, Ruihe had a deeper plan for the future. The future is bright, and he will move towards that light.

The first priority now is to make money.

The ox cart was not walking fast, and it had only gone halfway when lunch time came. The ox cart stopped under a big tree on the side of the road, and the workers spread out in twos and threes to find something to eat. Rui He didn't know that he would be sent out to deliver goods today. He didn't bring anything with him. He sat under a tree to enjoy the cool weather and waited for others to come back.

Mingyong came back with a bun in his mouth and two more in his hand. Seeing Ruihe sitting under the tree, he asked in surprise: "Have you finished eating so soon? Are you the only one?"

Rui He was a little embarrassed: "Well, it's just me."

There was nothing to say between the two of them. Ming Yong finished the buns in a few mouthfuls and leaned against the tree and burped. Ruihe suddenly heard him speak: "Our job is not difficult at all, but the management requirements are very high. Every bamboo basket must be made the best. Some people with three-legged cat kung fu can't do it. I just joined the factory At the worst time, I could only make two baskets a day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. I didn’t want to be a steward if I couldn’t do it well. I had to dismantle and tie it up. If I dismantled it twice more, the bamboo pieces were damaged and I had to peel them again. Bamboo pieces.”

Ruihe has heard about this matter. He heard that because of such strictness, the factory's products are selling well. He heard that they have been selling bread bowls abroad in recent years, which makes them very embarrassed.

"I heard that your team is the best among the new workers. You are the one doing all the bamboo basket making? That's great. Having a good craft can last a lifetime. If you do well in the future, I will be happy. "Mingyong patted Rui He on the shoulder and gave him the last bun, "Eat it, and be kind to yourself when you get your salary. The stomach is the last thing you can bully. If you bully it for one day, it will be there for the rest of your life. I have to take revenge on you. I’ll go to the villager’s house and ask for some well water, and you can watch the car.”

Rui He didn't expect that Ming Yong encouraged him first and finally gave him a bun. He was very moved and slowly ate the buns. The buns were filled with cabbage and were a little warm. After eating, he stood up and faced Mingyong. Mingyong fetched five bamboo tubes of well water and gave one tube to Ruihe: "Although it's hot, don't rush. Drink coaxingly and take a little sip.”

He hung other bamboo tubes on the bamboo basket: "This is all experience. If you have to go out temporarily in the future, you can bring it with you."

Rui He nodded gratefully: "I understand."

When other workers came back one after another, the three oxcarts continued to move. They delivered the bamboo baskets to the main bamboo factory in the city and rested there for a while. Mingyong said, "If you want to go shopping, go shopping. It's five o'clock." It’s time to gather and go home. If you miss it, just walk back by yourself.”

"Yeah!"

Watching the other workers disperse, Ruihe also walked out. Their bullock carts were parked in the receiving factory without fear of being stolen.

After walking out of the door, Ruihe was a little at a loss. After looking around, he followed the direction Mingyong went.

The city is so lively! The clothes people wear are also somewhat different from those worn by people in Shangmei Village. They seem to be better, and the streets are paved with cement, making it easier to walk. What attracts Ruihe's attention are the shops. Ruihe can't take his eyes off each store. . After coming here for several months, this was the first time he saw such a prosperous scene.

Only he didn't dare to go in. He followed Mingyong and kept walking until he saw Mingyong walking into a building. The building had two floors and a long signboard hung outside. The signboard had a bright red background, white fonts, and a golden light in the middle. The pentagon looks very impressive.

"Then it says Jinfeng Road Department Store." System 460 spoke.

Rui He hurriedly wrote it down, staring at the seven words and scratching his fingers on his thigh, "Ding Ding Ding Ding——" There were many people coming in and out next to him, and another bicycle flew past him, Rui He did not dare to go any further. He blocked the door, pulled up his clothes, and walked in carefully.

As soon as he entered, his eyes couldn't get enough of it. Rows of glass cabinets lay horizontally, and rows of wooden shelves stood vertically against the wall. Both cabinets and shelves were filled with things, and a well-dressed and clean clerk stood behind them. Clothes, pots and pans, pastries, clocks and alarm clocks, shoes... so much more! Too many! There are much more things than the supply and marketing cooperative in the village.

There are many paintings on the walls, some of them are farmers digging the ground with hoes, some are reading books, and there are also several children holding flowers with bright smiles on their faces. Up and down, Ruihe's sight was tightly squeezed. He almost turned his body in a full circle, and then another circle, and his eyes couldn't see enough.

"Oops." He accidentally bumped into a young woman, and the woman shouted softly, which made Ruihe recover and apologize quickly.

"It doesn't matter, just watch the road carefully." The young woman smiled and walked towards the other road. Ruihe followed her and saw a woman at a counter saying, "Give me a handkerchief, the kind that is pink and reflects the lotus."

"Hey Xiaoshan!"

Ruihe turned his head, and Mingyong was looking at him in surprise: "You came to the department store too?" Seeing Ruihe's confused look, Mingyong strode over and grabbed him: "Follow me, don't get stuck here. . Why are you here? What do you want to buy?”

"I took a look, but he hasn't been here either."

Mingyong smiled: "Come on, follow me. We will go back together in a while."

So Ruihe followed Mingyong to a counter. The counter was full of boxes and bottles, and the tip of his nose was filled with a rich aroma. "Honoka said she wanted to buy hair oil. Why should I use it on my hair in this summer? It's so greasy! Oh."

The salesperson smiled and said: "This is osmanthus hair oil. Apply it to your hair after washing. It will make your hair black, shiny and moisturized. It also smells delicious. It costs 80 cents a bottle, do you want it?"

Ming Yong gritted his teeth: "Give me a bottle."

Rui He stood aside and looked at the things on the counter curiously, thinking that it was very similar to the rouge that the little maids bought from the sellers at the back door. It turned out that the girls here also had to dress up.

"Let's go over there and take a look. I also want to buy two enamel jars with happy characters on them."

Ruihe nodded and followed Mingyong to other counters. After an hour of shopping, he was really eye-opening. He was still thinking about it when he returned to the village. Mingyong smiled: "It's always like this the first time I come here. When I entered the department store for the first time, I didn't even know where to put my eyes. It'll be fine once I get used to it."

"Um."

The oxcart moved forward slowly, and the orange-red setting sun hung in the distant sky. Ruihe covered his eyes with his hands and half-squinted his eyes, as if the rays of light penetrated into his heart through his eyes, painting his heart with bright colors. He is full of expectations for the future.

As soon as he guessed that he didn't learn to weave bamboo baskets tonight because he didn't have enough time to study, and he didn't learn the bamboo basket technique well enough, in the end the bamboo factory didn't recruit him... Ruihe jumped out of bed!

At this time, he didn't know that because he "fainted" on the roadside, the Zhang family's sister-in-law suddenly thought of taking his place and went to Brother Yong's house to study.

"Xiaoshan? Are you awake?" Zhang Dashan heard the noise and pushed the door open. He came up to touch his head and asked, "Why did you faint on the roadside? What's wrong with you?"

Rui He was anxious to find Li Dashui. He didn't know where Brother Yong's house was, and he didn't know what time it was now that it was so dark. So he quickly dealt with Zhang Dashan: "Brother, I'm fine. I'm going to find Dashui now. He must have been waiting for me for a long time."

Zhang Dashan smiled: "Don't worry, it was Dashui who sent you back after he found you fainted against the wall."

"Then I'll go find him now." Ruihe felt a little relieved. No matter what, he had to be punctual when he made an appointment with others. It was good that Li Dashui knew he was dizzy, and he would not wait for him to delay his work. "Brother, do you know where Brother Yong's house is?" If Brother Zhang didn't know, Ruihe planned to go to Li's house to see, and if Li Dashui's family was still awake, he would ask them to help lead the way.

"Don't go, your sister-in-law has already gone to school." Brother Zhang said, "You were dizzy just now and I don't know what's wrong with you, so your sister-in-law went for you. I thought it would make no difference whether your sister-in-law goes or you go. After a few years, you can also do full work points, and your sister-in-law can also take a break."

Ruihe's heart skipped a beat, and he shook his head subconsciously. Zhang Dashan frowned: "You don't want to? Xiaoshan, it doesn't matter who in our family can go to the factory. Since your sister-in-law has gone, you shouldn't go. Go to bed quickly. You just fainted and you should rest more."

"No, I want to go." Ruihe continued to shake his head and looked at Zhang Dashan, "I have agreed with Dashui."

"Xiaoshan!" Zhang Dashan became stern, "You are grown up, you can't be so willful!"

"Anyway, I want to go." Ruihe looked around, "The sweet potatoes were also taken away by my sister-in-law, right? Then I'll go get another one." He subconsciously touched his body, and the sugar ticket was gone.

Zhang Dashan grabbed Ruihe's hand, with a rare stern look on his face: "Xiaoshan! Don't be willful! Our family can't have two people working in the factory. If the work points are not enough, the food distributed throughout the year will not be enough for the family to eat! Your sister-in-law is a woman, she is careful and delicate, let her go! Go to bed quickly!"

Ruihe didn't expect that he would encounter this thing that was not in the original owner's memory. After thinking about it, it turned out that he "fainted" on the roadside and caused this accident. He was a little angry, angry that he was too timid. System 460 made him faint in order to calm himself down. If only I were braver!

But things have happened and can only find ways to remedy them. His awe of Zhang Dashan has faded a lot. This confidence comes from the fact that he is no longer ignorant of the world, and also from Zhang Xiaoshan's memory.

He insisted: "I want to go, I must go." Then he ran to the kitchen to pack sweet potatoes.

Since Brother Zhang is unwilling, he will definitely not give him another sugar ticket. He quickly packed fifty kilograms of sweet potatoes, hoping that Brother Mingyong can accept it.

Zhang Dashan was really shocked. Why was Xiaoshan so stubborn tonight? He refused to listen to anything he said. Didn't he listen to him the most in the past? Especially in the past two months, he was very honest. He hurriedly followed him and tried to persuade him, but he couldn't stop Ruihe. He said angrily, "Okay, I don't care! Anyway, you are older and more powerful, so let's just separate. I don't care about you anymore!"

Separate?

Ruihe's ears perked up. He remembered that the original owner also separated from Brother Zhang later. When Zhang Xiaoshan was 30 years old and was about to get married, he asked Zhang Dashan for the money he had left with him. In total, Zhang Xiaoshan had more than 2,000 yuan left at home, but Zhang Dashan only took out 200 yuan. He did not admit that he had received 2,300 yuan.

So the two brothers separated.

He thought it was good to separate now. Even if he could not enter the factory, he could continue to work in the fields to earn work points, and he could support himself. So Ruihe nodded: "Okay, let's split up! But I'm busy now, I'll tell you about the split up when I get back." He thought for a moment and added, "Let's split up the food and the house."

Zhang Dashan looked at his brother carrying sweet potatoes and running out of the house in disbelief, and felt that everything he encountered tonight was like a dream. Split up the family? He actually agreed? Zhang Dashan's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he felt that his dignity as the head of the family had been hit, and he was angry, annoyed, and ashamed.

Ruihe rushed to Li Dashui's house, and with the help of Li Dashui's eldest brother, he came to Brother Mingyong's house. Mingyong taught them in his own room. The light of the oil lamp was limited. Li Dashui and Zhang Dasao studied hard, and they were a little surprised to see Ruihe coming.

Mingyong said: "Don't talk and learn quickly, my family is asleep." He shook the bag to estimate the weight and agreed to accept Ruihe as a student.

Mrs. Zhang had to shut up. Her eyes could not help but drift to the extra bag of sweet potatoes in the corner. The bag looked bulging and weighed about 50 to 60 kilograms. She felt so distressed that she complained to her husband why he let his brother-in-law come over. What a waste of extra sweet potatoes! The porridge cooked this month will be thinner! But she didn't dare to chase her brother-in-law back in front of outsiders. It would be bad for her reputation. After listening to Mingyong's words, she had to lower her head and continue to wind the bamboo strips.

The opportunity to learn to tie a bamboo basket is hard-won. When Ruihe sat cross-legged, he couldn't help but think of the scene of contradicting Zhang Dashan just now, and he was still a little scared. He exhaled deeply and couldn't help but quietly asked: "System 460, do you think I did the right thing just now?"

System 460 was silent for a while, thinking about giving more encouragement to the host, so he replied: "I think the host was very brave just now." Right or wrong, it's up to the host to judge.

Ruihe was very happy and smiled widely.

At twelve o'clock, Mingyong looked at his watch and asked them to go back. After Li Dashui took Ruihe out, he talked about the watch with envy: "It cost a full one hundred yuan! It's said to be second-hand, and the new one costs more than one hundred and fifty. Brother Yong said that he would use this watch as a gift when he got married. How decent. I must work in the factory and make money to buy a watch in the future."

Ruihe also saw it, and was about to say something when he was pulled over by Zhang Dasao. When he turned around, he met Zhang Dasao's dark face: "What's the matter with you? Didn't your brother explain it to you clearly?" Ruihe broke free from her hand: "He said that he wanted to divide the family and divide it tomorrow."

This time it was Zhang Dasao's turn to be dumbfounded.

The next day when Li Dashui went to the fields, he asked, "Why do you want to split the family for no reason?" Ruihe told him about Zhang Dashan's use of the split family to blame him, "I've thought about it. I'm sixteen years old and I can take care of myself."

Li Dashui was very angry for him, "What kind of person is your elder brother? He seems to be afraid of the split family. I was shocked when I saw your sister-in-law. She also told me that you would not come. It's good to split the family. You work so hard. I will talk to the team leader later to see if you can get nine points. You can't ignore your work just because you are not old enough."

Ruihe asked him to speak more quietly, "Actually, my elder brother is not a bad person. Don't say that to him. I was young before, and my mother was sick in the last two years. My brother and sister-in-law supported the family." This is the original owner's true thoughts. He thinks his sister-in-law is indeed a bit mean, but this is also forced by life, and he can understand it.

As for what Li Dashui said before, the porridge that Zhang's sister-in-law gave to the original owner's mother only had porridge water but no rice, that is true. But at that time, the whole family had to rely on his brother and sister-in-law for support, so he could only get two or three points of work points. Almost all the food distributed was given to the doctors in the health center as consultation fees, and he could not help the family much. His sister-in-law was mean, his elder brother was silent, and he and his mother had no confidence at all. Zhang Xiaoshan had to scoop out the rice and sweet potatoes in his porridge for his mother to eat, and he dared not say anything else.

Ruihe did not experience the things that the original owner did not dare to care about, and he would not say more. He came to this world for two months. At first, he was not full, but later he ate about 70% to 80% full. He could also see that Zhang Dasao looked fierce, and if you dared to fight back, the other party would shrink. And Zhang Dasao didn't care about anything, unless the matter fell on him. Therefore, Ruihe could eat enough later, because he found that as long as he could withstand Zhang Dasao's white eyes, ignore her, and not be afraid of her, and take a few more sweet potatoes and scoop a bowl of porridge, Zhang Dasao would not dare to really scold or really snatch it.

Apart from other things, Ruihe had some experience in observing words and expressions.

Last night, Zhang Da Ge said he didn't mean it when he said he wanted to split up, but thinking back today, Rui He didn't regret his answer at that time. In fact, he was a little worried that Zhang Da Ge would see that he was not Zhang Xiao Shan. It would be safer for him to separate and have less contact.

"Okay then. When are you going to split up?"

"I don't have time to talk about this in the morning. Let's talk about it after lunch."

"Oh, I'm so hungry. It's still a long time before noon." Li Da Shui was weeding listlessly. Rui He was also hungry. People here only eat two meals a day, lunch and dinner, but not breakfast.

When they got home at noon, Rui He squatted to burn firewood, Zhang Da Ge cooked, and Zhang Da Ge squatted at the door to smoke dry tobacco. The kitchen was different from the usual dullness. The firewood was crackling, and the red firelight was reflected in Rui He's eyes. He saw Zhang Da Ge and Zhang Da Ge arguing with each other in the corner of his eye. He secretly guessed that Zhang Da Ge would speak again next time.

Sure enough, Zhang Dasao coughed twice and called Ruihe: "Xiaoshan, I think it's not nice to ask for the sweet potatoes back now that they have been delivered. So, let's both go to learn and sign up at the bamboo factory. It depends on who can be recruited. What do you think?"

It was rare for her to speak so gently. Ruihe picked up her words and thought about it again and again, and finally nodded: "Okay." Zhang Dasao probably didn't want to talk about the division of the family anymore, so he used such words to appease him. The extra 50 kilograms of sweet potatoes were handled so lightly. Ruihe thought it was a bit strange that Zhang Dashan was so reluctant to divide the family. But he thought it was fine. The most important thing at the moment was not the division of the family, but to get the quota of workers to enter the factory.
