The Green Song Years Chapter 14: Cashing In
Li Mo fell asleep after thinking about it. Early the next morning, Li Fuguo went out early to catch up with work.
After all, it was delayed yesterday, and today we can't delay it any longer!
Li Mo was idle, and his mother didn't let him go up the mountain.
After all, the injury is not healed, and it is understandable that my mother did not let me go up the mountain.
Since there is no way to go up the mountain, the brigade supply and marketing cooperatives can still go for a walk. It is also appropriate to get some cash to make up for the family.
In fact, the supply and marketing cooperatives also collect things, because in the mountains, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. No one cares at all.
In particular, there are some villagers in the village who are in urgent need of money, and they can get some things at home and sell them at the supply and marketing cooperatives.
There are those who change duck feathers, and there are those who change black pig hair. There are also eggs or something. Anyway, as long as the supply and marketing cooperatives can take it out, they will accept it.
The higher the sky, the farther away the emperor is, the more no one cares!
For example, no one has come to check here in the bandit ditch all year round, but because life is passable, no one takes risks.
There was no money in his mother's hands at all, and Li Mo planned to get something that could be exchanged for money to cash out and make his mother's hands more relaxed.
What can you buy? Rice and pork are definitely not good, but for example, eggs and canned food or something. Basically, no one checks these things.
Li Mo also found a lot of chicken from the warehouse, which were all in pieces. Because it's handled, and it's all piece by piece, I don't know what kind of chicken it is.
Li Mo thawed by the river at the foot of the mountain, while eating snacks leisurely.
At this time, in the courtyard of the brigade, many people were having a morning meeting before going to work.
"Be quiet, I said one thing before going to work, that is, our brigade decided to recommend Li Fuguo to work in the brick factory, everyone knows about their family situation, and they just broke off relations with his wife. Life at home is not easy. So I discussed with the captain and found him an errand to subsidize his home. That one...... Li Fuguo, you should go to the brick factory of the commune to report now! On the other side of Lao Niuliang, it is only a dozen miles away. Go for it!"
Li Fuguo got a job?
Everyone was amazed.
"Captain, why do you have a job for Li Fuguo?"
"Yes, how can Li Fuguo still be arranged to work?"
"You guys are red-eyed, Li Fuguo is honest, and what has become of the difficulty, the house is built on the edge of the Hetao. ”
"That is, the relationship you live in is good, and other people's children are injured like that, do you still have a little humanity?"
There are those who are skeptical and those who are helpful.
Li Zhenjiang roared and said, "Okay! I arranged this job, and I didn't use your quota." Even if I am still Li Fuguo's favor, other people's children can still go up the mountain to open the way when they are injured like that. I gave up my son's job to him. I'm here to tell you there's nothing going on here. Got it?"
"That's right. If you had arranged it, we wouldn't have anything to say. ”
"That is, other people's children do pay a lot. ”
"Don't say it, the little wild boar that Li Mo made is delicious. ”
The men chatted babblingly, and Li Zhenjiang looked at Li Fuguo and said, "Okay, you go and report." The road is not far, only ten miles away. ”
"Hey!"
Li Fuguo ran out excitedly, he really didn't expect that he would have a job!
I was so excited that I didn't even have time to go home and say a word. I went directly to the factory with a letter of introduction and a letter of recommendation.
Li Fuguo ran to report, and the others continued to work. After going to work, the villagers basically talked about Li Fuguo's work.
The village of Baihe and the land of the bandit ditch were next to each other, and the news soon spread to Baihe.
Li Qingmin's nose was almost crooked when he heard the news.
I heard the children say that it seems that Li Mo got medicine for the grandson of the old branch secretary. ”
It's okay if Li He doesn't say it, this news from careful inquiry makes Li Qingmin even more angry!
After severing the relationship, Li Qingmin's fine grain this year is gone.
looked at his unsuccessful son, and then looked at Li Mo of others.
Li Qingmin looked at his own house again, his daughter-in-law went back to her parents' house every day, and basically didn't come back much.
There are just the two of them in the house, and the house is as messy as a pig's nest. This house doesn't look like it's inhabited at all. Li Fuguo's daughter-in-law is busy every day, and she is not idle.
Li Qingmin himself is lazy and lazy, and his family is actually no better than Li Fuguo, the only thing that can be better is that their house is built with gray bricks in the corner, and the roof is made of clay tiles.
At that time, the large tiled houses with red brick walls and cement joints were equivalent to villas. Most people are adobe houses, and the better ones are the half-tile houses of Li Qingmin's family.
A half-tiled house is actually an adobe house, the difference is that the foundation and a small part of the ground are brick.
The roof is also mud tiles, but not all of them, but the bottom of the perimeter is mostly thatched.
But it looks much better than the kind of adobe house that Li Mo's family has!
In the past few years, Li Qingmin's life has not been good, and the windows are even pasted with newspapers.
Although Li Mo's family is poor, they are still rice paper stickers.
After the newspaper pasted the window, the whole room was so dark that I couldn't see it clearly without lighting an oil lamp in the room.
And the inside of the house was also cold and gloomy.
Li Qingmin paced around the room angrily, and after thinking for a while. Called Li He to his side.
"Xiaohe, you go out and ask what's going on. Come back and tell me that I'm going to the township! I'll sue them too!
"Dad, you're waiting for my good news!"
Li He ran out excitedly, and ran back after a while.
"Dad, I asked. I asked a couple of children, and they did. I heard from the adults in the ground that Li Mo got the medicine. The grandson of the branch secretary is happy. ”
When Li Qingmin heard this, he hugged his shoulders and laughed sinisterly with a sinister face, and his whisper sounded a little obscene.
"Hmph, that's right! You take it honestly at home, don't get into trouble, I'll go and sue!"
"Hey, don't worry!"
After Li Qingmin finished explaining to Li He, he hurriedly went out and walked to the township. At this time, Li He was still squatting by the river to thaw those chickens.
Li Qingmin borrowed a bicycle from the brigade in Baihe Village and ran inside.
Li Mo didn't think much about it when he saw Li Qingmin riding a bicycle outside. I guess I went to the township to complain to my grandmother or something. After all, the free rations are broken!
Li Mo waited disappreliantly until the chicken in the basin thawed, and then he covered the chicken with a cloth and walked to the village.
"Li Mo, what's in the basin?"
Li Yan asked in surprise when he saw Li Mo.
Li Mo looked around, and then said with a smile: "I found several pheasants that were picked up by foxes, all of which were bitten out of sight, so I cleaned them up." It's a lot! I'll clean it up, it's all clean, why don't you want to give your children food? Pure meat!"
"What's that?"
Li Yanhu looked at Li Mo suspiciously, Li Mo opened the cloth, and a basin full of chicken wings, chicken, and chicken legs. There is no whole.
Li Yan said in surprise: "It's a lot!
"Didn't you dig it out! Do you want to take care of it!"
Li Mo looked at Li Yan with a smile and asked.
Li Yan thought for a while and said, "Okay, give me some!"
Li Mo slowly made a large pot of chicken goods, originally these things cost thousands, but Li Mo was stunned to sell them for dozens of yuan here......
A whole large pot of pheasants, Li Mo sold it for more than eighty yuan and came back.
He carried a large basin and walked to the supply and marketing cooperative.
The salesperson of the supply and marketing cooperative, after seeing Li Mo, smiled and said, "Isn't this the king of the mountain, what are you doing here?"
"Do you want eggs?" asked as he put down a bag of eggs.
"What are you doing?
"For a little money, I have to go to school, and I'm going to buy reference books recently. Can the family take care of me?"
The salesperson of the supply and marketing cooperatives is called Li Chunmei, and she is also very beautiful. It's the younger sister of the captain.
She has a good relationship with Li Mo on weekdays, and she likes to joke with Li Mo.
"You're going to be a showman, aren't you?"
"Isn't this a test to come back, in case I catch up with you and you are not married, I will go to your house to propose marriage?" Li Mokou teased Li Chunmei.
Li Chunmei was giggling and laughing, and the women of that era didn't wear makeup. are all very simple and beautiful, women who look quite good at this time, and in Li Mo's era, they were all big beauties with makeup!
"Okay, Da Xiucai. Put it here, you wait for me to weigh you. ”
"By the way, Sister Chunmei, I still have cans exchanged from Hejian Township here, a total of four cans, how much can these be exchanged?"
"These are very well packaged, where did they come from?" asked Li Chunmei suspiciously.
"The pheasant was changed, and I met a few outsiders. Can you get ten bucks?"
When Li Mo said this, he felt a pain in his flesh, and the purchase price of these canned foods was more than ten yuan!
Li Chunmei looked at it and said: "The quality is so good, if it can be sold at a high price in the market, I can give you five yuan at most here." ”
"Okay! Now let them be pitted! Three pheasants are exchanged!"
Li Mo put down the can with a painful face.
Li Chunmei calculated, and gave Li Mo a total of twenty yuan for eggs and canned food.
Li Mo chatted with Li Chunmei for a while before he came out.
When he got home, it was just lunchtime. Li Mo went home excitedly and smiled: "Mom! I went out and earned a lap." Luck is so good today, give!"
This is Li Mo's first time to realize, and he relies on the protection of the branch secretary, so he dares to realize something in the village.
After selling more than 100 before and after, Li Mo stuffed all the money to his mother and said, "I earned it today." ”
"What's the matter?"
"Hey, I've dug out the fox den, good fellow, those foxes have a meeting!"
When Li Mo said this, he told him about what happened in the morning, even if it was true or false.
Zhang Ruyi's face was full of joy when he heard this, and he made a hundred yuan in one morning! This is too profitable, right?!
Zhang Ruyi hurriedly put the money away, Li Mo looked at his mother's appearance and said with a smile: "Mom, if I go to school in a few days, I won't be able to pour money for the family." ”
"You just study hard, don't always do these things, let the militia catch you good-looking!"
"Okay! I see. ”
Li Mo didn't refute his mother, and there was no need.
After going to school, the emperor is far away, he can do whatever he likes, who can control him?
Li Mo had just finished lunch and was about to catch up on sleep, when two people came outside.
"Is Li Mo at home?"
"Who?" Zhang Ruyi looked out the door, and two men in blue uniforms came in.
"This is Li Mo's house, right? Something about yesterday's scrivener. Find out what's going on!"
"Oh, wait a minute!
Li Mo was woken up by his mother when he fell asleep, he came out in a daze, and then looked at two people with red armbands and blue uniforms.
Isn't this a militia?
Li Mo's face was blank.
"You're Li Mo, right? I want you to understand the situation about something, and come with us. ”
"What's the matter?"
Li Mo looked at the two of them with tense faces and knew that there must be no good thing!
