With hope, the days seem to pass a little faster, and in the blink of an eye, the two siblings have been on the farm for three months, and this is the day of payment.

It's also strange here, the salary is never paid in the current month, I heard Aunt Wang say that when it is good, it will be paid every two months, and the longest one entrusted to the salary will be paid for half a year. Of course, the farm allowed the workers to make IOUs, but only on credit.

"How much did you send?" Zhou Sining could see from Dabao entering the house that his expression was a little strange.

"That's all. Zhou Jiguo took out a few pieces of money from his pocket and handed them to the eldest sister.

Next week, Sining's expression also became strange, "That's all?" She thought there was a big ticket below, picked it up and counted it carefully, and indeed the few dollars she saw added up to a total of seven yuan, "Three months' salary?"

"Yes, the three-month salary should have been twenty-seven yuan, and after repaying the food money we borrowed in the past few months, these are all left. Zhou Jiguo wiped his face as he spoke.

At that time, he got the few dollars sent to him by the accountant, and he worked tirelessly for three whole months, and he didn't repair it for a day, but he didn't get these few dollars, which was not as much as he earned by tossing pork in his hometown for a day.

This makes no one feel comfortable, but he is still reasonable, and his attitude is very good to ask if they have miscalculated, and their attitude is also very good, and the account book is taken out to show him, and he knows that he is a temporary worker on the farm, and his salary is only nine yuan per month. There is also a long list of bills that need to be paid back after the salary, grain, firewood, and bits and pieces of the family, all borrowed from the farm, so they need to be repaid when the salary is paid. So he can only get seven buckles.

After reading the account book, he didn't say anything, turned around and left.

"Even if you give twenty-seven yuan, it's too little, it's only nine yuan a month, you work hard every day, and you're tired to die or live, isn't this salary funny." Zhou Sining thought it was incredible.

"Well, I really can't do this job anymore, I've asked the leader for leave, and I'll go to the city tomorrow to have a look. Zhou Jiguo said.

I've always said that I'll go to the city to see if there are any job opportunities, but I don't have time to go, so this time he has to go.

Zhou Sining opened his mouth and wanted to say that I went with you, but after thinking about it, he didn't open his mouth in the end, so he waited until he got to the city, and he was relatively free, so he was talking about something else.

So early the next morning, Zhou Jiguo went out of the farm and went to the city.

After a while, Aunt Wang came to her again.

"Auntie, I heard your second uncle say that your brother didn't take leave to work today, what's wrong, isn't he sick?" Second Aunt Wang sat on the matza and helped Zhou Sining to make potato skins together, and Zhou Sining was going to make a potato cake to eat at noon today.

"It's a leave, but I'm not sick, isn't this a salary, my family is a filial child, I thought about coming out for a few months, and I didn't send a letter to my family, just yesterday I paid my salary, I want to go to the city to send some to my family, how much is so mindful, but also let the family feel relieved. Zhou Sining said while working.

Zhou Jiguo's leave last year was asked for this reason, and Zhou Sining felt that this statement was very good, so he took it out and used it today.

Of course, this is not all a lie, Zhou Jiguo really plans to send back the seven yuan he earned in three months to his old father.

"Hehe, it's still the successor country that has filial piety. Second Aunt Wang smiled and praised this, "However, the second aunt will tell you a thoughtful word, you brothers and sisters are out of the house, and there are many places to use money." If you earn so much money, it's better to come by yourself first, even if you don't need it now, you can save it, and you will need it when you can't use it. You see that you are mailing the money back to your hometown now, and the people in your hometown are happy, but when you need to use the money and let them give you the mail, you will know, and then it will be difficult. "Second Aunt Wang, this is from experience.

Zhou Sining nodded as she listened, she knew that Second Aunt Wang could tell her this, it was definitely for their good.

"Well, I told Dabao, just this time, isn't it just out of the house and not at ease, you also know my mother's temper, and when we came out, we also wasted a little energy. Thinking about sending some money home, my mother can't be so angry. "Zhou Sining is not soft on the black Li Rucui at all, what no one can carry the pot just throw on Li Rucui.

"It's not right for you to think so, you also said that your mother has a bad temperament, I think if she receives money this time, she can't worry about it, and if she doesn't get it in the future, she will have to write to you every month to ask for money. "Second Aunt Wang also knows Li Rucui, although she is not familiar with that person, she has also heard of her temperament.

Zhou Sining stopped talking, she couldn't nod and say that what you said was right, my mother will definitely eat the marrow and know the taste, but we will give it this time, I don't know where they will go in the future.

"Hey, it's also hard for you two children, it's not easy to make money at such a young age. Second Aunt Wang looked at her like that, and knew that she was not going to say anything, so she hurriedly said a few words to ease up.

Zhou Sining smiled and asked, "Second aunt, let me ask you something." ”

"What's the matter?"

"My second uncle is now a regular worker on the farm, how much can he open a month?" Zhou Sining was purely curious.

"Hehe, did you think the salary was too small when you paid your salary yesterday, let me tell you, everyone is from your time. I think that when I and your second uncle fled from the wasteland, there was nowhere to go, and when I saw that people were recruited here, I came over, at that time, this side was not like now, it was all wasteland, and at that time, I really worked hard to reclaim the wasteland little by little and planted crops. Aunt Wang began to recall the past, "At that time, we didn't have as much a month as you do now, and our monthly salary was only five yuan. Oops, you don't know how hard it was for us back then. ”

Zhou Sining's eyes widened, she really couldn't imagine their life at that time, mainly because they didn't make money for a month, and they still owed it, what kind of reason is this.

"What then?"

"What else can I do, gritting my teeth and enduring my life. Aunt Wang sighed, "The first few months are really difficult, basically you have to owe every month, you must know that at that time, you did manual work, and if you don't eat enough, you have no strength at all, and you have to borrow from the farm if you don't have enough food, and you can't pay it back if you borrow." Just borrowing food at the end of the month, and getting the salary in the middle of the month to pay it back, that salary is not enough to spend. ”

"Fortunately, after half a year, it turned regular, and both of our salaries have risen, your second uncle is now nineteen yuan and five yuan a month, and I am a little less than your second uncle, and I have seventeen yuan. Now we can open 36 yuan a month combined. ”

Zhou Sining heard it, and Aunt Wang was very satisfied with the current salary of the two of them.
