Winner in life

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

"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." Rui He peeled off an orange with a relatively yellow peel. As soon as the peel was peeled off, a sour smell hit his nostrils. 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 were soaked with tears, "It will be delicious when made into jam."

Li Dashui sighed: "It's just a waste of sugar, but my mother said that now I have started to make money, so I don't worry about the money when I buy two more kilograms of sugar. Money is really a good thing."

"Money is indeed a good thing." Without the two and a half yuan tuition, Rui He would still not be able to find a teacher to teach him. "The factory will start working 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, and there won't be so much when the factory starts working." I have free time." Mr. Xu said that he would come to teach him on weekends. In fact, the bamboo factory does not necessarily have holidays every weekend. In fact, holidays are not fixed, and if there are large orders, there will be no holidays at all. So these ten days are very important.

Li Dashui didn't expect Rui He to be so active: "All the money has been spent, so you really have to work hard." It's only two yuan and fifty cents, and a pound of white sugar is seventy-eight cents. It hurts his mother to use two pounds to make jam. , I didn’t expect Xiaoshan to spend two and a half yuan to find someone for tutoring without blinking an eye. He felt sorry for the money when he heard it.

"I will!" Rui He nodded seriously.

Li Dashui: "..." He sighed and patted his friend on the shoulder.

In his opinion, these two pieces of money were unfair and unworthy. But then I thought about it, now Xiaoshan is in charge of his own business, and he works very hard in the bamboo factory. He earns forty yuan a month, so spending a few yuan doesn't seem to matter.

Li Dashui suddenly became ambitious. When the factory starts construction after the New Year, he must work as hard as Xiao Shan and spend the big money as he pleases!

Ruihe didn't know that Li Dashui had great ambitions to make a lot of money. His mood was much brighter. The depression and insecurity that suddenly surged up after Xu Caiheng left partially dissipated, and he was full of expectations for tomorrow's course.

System 460 is also relieved. It seems that although the host is young, his self-regulation ability is still good. It is a little proud, this is the host it chose.

In the next ten days, Rui He did not stop studying except eating and sleeping. After class, Xu Caiheng left him and was still reviewing the lessons. Because of his cooperation and self-awareness, Xu Caiheng praised him several times and said he was "talented."

The factory started working ten days later. Ruihe had to go to work during the day, and Xu Caiheng also had to go to school. Therefore, the class time was moved to Friday and Saturday nights as agreed. If Xu Caiheng was free on any night between Monday and Friday, , will also come to Ruihe’s house.

It was 1973 after the New Year, and it was only four years before 1977. To catch up with the first exam after the resumption of the college entrance examination, Ruihe had a very tight study task. But he couldn't let go of his factory job. He had no one to rely on and he needed to support himself first. If I can really get into college in the future, it would be better to have free college tuition and subsidies, but I still need to have money on hand to feel at ease.

According to Zhang Xiaoshan’s memory, when the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination reached this ordinary small southern village a few years later, who among the educated youth and other people in the village who wanted to take the exam stayed up late at night to study? Work during the day and study at night? He can do it if others can do it.

"I started preparing ahead of them. Even if I haven't studied before, I believe I can learn well." Ruihe set learning goals ambitiously. Even if Xu Caiheng didn't have time to come over, Ruihe would still read by himself at night until ten a little.

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

br /\u003e Ruihe once again put on his straw hat and went to work, earning himself fifty-seven more 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 see you

This is too tiring. "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 had high fever. The doctor said you were too tired. How can your body bear the pain of working so hard all the time? "There are three hundred and sixty-five days a year, and there is not even a day off. In her opinion, there is really no need to study in such a gap. Now working in the factory, the piece-rate wages they earn are more than the wages of people in the city. The salary of a teacher is 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 like it. Even if you buy it, it won't be easy to wear. Who in our village wears a skirt? It's not simple, not very solemn."

"Why is it not dignified to wear a skirt? People in the city wear it too! It's so long that it reaches the ankles! Don't worry, I plan to buy a dark one. The color must be simple." Zhang Cuibei strode forward with a dark face. Zhang Tianci smiled awkwardly at Ruihe and Li Dashui, and quickly caught up with them.

"Why do I feel like there's something wrong with the two of them?" Li Dashui touched his chin.

Rui He said "Huh?" in confusion: "There is nothing wrong, let's leave quickly!"

In the darkness, Rui He caught the hair and slowly stroked it from beginning to end. It was really a hair about thirty centimeters thick and curly. In the dark night, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and all the strange and strange things he had heard about jumped out, making his hands tremble in fright.

"I'm not lying to you, am I? There really is a hair, and it really doesn't belong to your girlfriend?"

Rui He was scared to death!

Li Dashui led him into a ditch, and he really suspected that it was left by a female ghost. He got goose bumps when he thought about it. He was quite courageous, but he was afraid of ghosts.

"I'll go light the lamp!"

Ruihe jumped up and lit the kerosene lamp again in the dark.

Li Dashui was frightened by his friend's trembling voice and said hurriedly: "What's wrong with you?" Ruihe had already lit the kerosene lamp over there, and his face looked extremely pale and weird under the light. Li Dashui was frightened: "What's wrong with you? You look scared?"

"I really don't have a partner, I don't know where this hair came from."

A chill rushed to his forehead, and Li Dashui also stuttered: "Oh, oh, it's not a partner..."

The two were silent about the hair, and Li Dashui rolled his eyes: "Could it be that the wind blew it up when you were drying the quilt?"
