A glimpse of the whole picture, the situation of the town is in full view, the town government axe, supply and marketing cooperatives, grain stations, food stations, health stations, animal husbandry stations, hotels, central primary schools, cinemas, police stations, these unit buildings account for most of the area, and the rest are the aborigines of the street village.

The width of the town is less than 500 meters, there is a 50-meter-wide river in the middle, there is a road on each side of the other side, there are two bridges up and down for passage, the upper bridge is already the edge area, the lower bridge is the center, this side of the bridge is the health center built against the cliff, four stories high, the first and second floors for medical treatment, the third floor is the ward, the fourth floor is the operating room, the conference room.

On the other side of the bridge is the hotel and the supply and marketing cooperative, and the supply and marketing cooperatives are already the most beautiful buildings in the town, there are five floors high, the first floor is the pavement, the above is the accommodation building, the wall is painted, it looks very bright, you can see it from afar, it is the symbol of the town.

Walking to the left is to enter, leading to the food station, there are aborigines on both sides of the street selling some goods, and there are also villagers picking up some things to sell, although it is now the period of the people's commune, but because it is too remote here, the tail of capitalism is not so serious, although the villagers do not have land, but they can plant some fruit trees in front of the house and behind the house, and raise some livestock.

However, cattle, sheep and pigs can not be slaughtered privately, can only be sent to the town food station for meat stamps, the rest of the food stamps or cloth stamps or something can not be used, or can not be replaced, can only be distributed through the commune according to the work points, for example, the villagers are divided food can not use food stamps, and the cloth stamps are gradually canceled, the goods of the supply and marketing cooperatives are basically purchased with money, according to the memory of the original owner, there are only two words: "thieves are expensive!" ”

A mechanical watch, the face is only the size of a coin, it actually costs 60 yuan, the radio costs 30 yuan, the leather shoes are not cheap, the cowhide costs 25 yuan a pair, and the pigskin is cheaper, but it also costs 15 yuan a pair. Not to mention the TV, an 11-inch black-and-white TV costs more than 300 yuan, which is equivalent to a panda in the village.

But you must know that the current rice is only a dime a catty, eggs are a quarter of a catty, that is, apples are only a dime and twenty-one catties, and pork is seven cents a catty, although the villagers can not kill pigs privately, but they can also use money to buy pork, but who is willing to spend this unjust money.

For the villagers, it would be good to be able to buy a pair of imitation military galoshes for more than two yuan, which is commonly known as liberation shoes. A cotton shirt is also only ** yuan, which is a luxury, and it may not be able to be worn when you get married.

When it comes to wages, in Fang Dajun's memory, he only knows the salary of the village veterinarian, which is five yuan and six cents a month, and he can eat a bowl of big meat noodles in the town for free on the day of salary, which has made many villagers envious.

"Dajun, when I came, I picked two baskets of dense oranges, and when I sold them, I could save enough money to buy shoes." When the thin monkey said this, his face was already full of joy.

Shoes are a headache for many villagers' parents, many children are about to get married to fall into a good pair of shoes to wear, of course, it is not that they can't wear it, the women in the village will have their own cloth shoes, but they can't do farm work with cloth shoes, resulting in a child who doesn't wear shoes in the village at present, even some adults don't wear it, of course, women are hobbies, and they generally wear shoes when they go out.

Fang Dajun is the treasure of the family, and there is only a pair of liberation shoes, and when they are worn so badly that they can't be rotten anymore, they will sell a pair, they are barefoot when digging coal, and they usually don't wear shoes when they go out......

"How much do oranges sell for a pound?" Fang Dajun asked, the thin monkey family has three dense orange trees, it is now summer September, and the thin monkey usually picks a few and waits for them to come out of the coal hole to quench their thirst.

"I've inquired clearly, the big ones can be sold for a penny and a pound, and the small ones can be sold for a penny and a pound." When the thin monkey said this, he was very satisfied, and he was very pleased with such a "high price".

This made Fang Dajun feel like he had fallen to the ground, he had just sold a similar orange a few days ago, and it cost more than three yuan a catty, a difference of two hundred times.

"Army, come up, I'll carry you downstairs!" Qin Dahan squatted down and shouted.

Fang Dajun was not hypocritical, he was indeed weak at this time, and then he got on Qin Da's back, and his mother said at this time: "Son, Mom is going to the market to cut meat, you wait in the dam below." ”

"Okay, Mom, go get busy!"

As soon as I got downstairs, I saw my father greet me and said, "Master Li, who is driving the ox cart, will take twenty minutes to come, let's wait outside for a while!" ”

This is the "car" arranged by the commune cadres before, a bamboo frame cart pulled by an old ox, the village has been opened to the road, but there are no motor vehicles passing by, it is good to catch up with the ox cart, even the walk-behind tractor is not seen a few times a year, every time I see it, the children chase it out, and even the adults will put down their work to see the excitement.

The building of the health center is the kind of kind with a passage in the middle and small rooms on both sides, and through the long passage, there is a basketball court, a flat cement floor, and two basketball piles that are still eye-catching.

However, this place can only be used by the people on "dry days", and it is the main battlefield for street vendors to sell clothes, shoes and other necessities of life.

The single number in the town is to catch the market, and the double number is a dry day, that is, it is not a rush to the market, and almost no one sets up a stall in a dry day, and even some stores may not be open.

Today's September 5th, it is just to catch the market, there are quite a lot of villagers who go to the town, each carrying a small back basket called "clamp back", which is made of Nanzhu, strong and durable, about can hold 20 catties of goods, is the first choice to catch the market.

In fact, half of the ten villagers who rushed to the market probably didn't buy anything, they just wanted to come and see the excitement, especially children, Fang Dajun had run to the town many times before, and it was only ten minutes from the street to the end of the street, but he could go shopping for most of the day before he couldn't get back to it.

The ox cart was tied to the end of the street, and the master who drove the cattle was afraid that he would also go to see the excitement, so everyone waited patiently on the edge of the dam for a while.

At this time, the thin monkey said: "Great army, my oranges are placed in front of the old king who sells vegetables, so I will pick them out and sell them." ”

When he picks oranges, he will sell them for a dollar, what can he do with a dollar after 30 years? Fang Dajun felt that the only thing he was not used to now was the price, as soon as he touched the pocket of his clothes, he didn't even have a penny receipt, and he had saved more than two yuan, but he didn't bring it with him.

As soon as the thin monkey left, Fang Dajun said with some embarrassment: "Old man, do you have any money with you?" "He hasn't asked his family for a penny for several years, of course, that was before the crossing, and now he is only fifteen years old, so it's normal to ask his parents for money.

"Bring it, I borrowed some from the guy in the brick yard and scraped together more than five yuan, which was originally going to treat you." Fang Donghua unbuttoned his left breast pocket as he spoke, and took out a thick stack of money from it, all of which were dime tickets, and the other was a split ticket.

Fang Dajun thought for a while and said, "I'm hungry and want to eat flower rolls, old man, you go and buy a few more." ”

"Okay, how many do you sell?" Fang Donghua inquired, usually he is obedient to this son, not to mention that now that his son is almost gone, he is even more dependent on him.

"Buy ten, can you?" Fang Dajun recalled that steamed buns, steamed buns, and flower rolls are considered to have been relatively strong foods, which follow the price of wheat, and now the wheat is only a dime a catty, and it will not rise much after 30 years.

"Okay, I'll go back as soon as I go, Qin Wa, you guys look at the army!" Fang Donghua greeted him and left quickly.

At present, the town rarely sells steamed buns, only sells steamed buns and flower rolls, the shape of the flower rolls resembles steamed buns, which is made of flour noodles rolled up and steamed, and saccharin is put in it, and the sweetness is slightly more expensive than steamed buns.

He now has ten mouths, which can pay two full jobs, that is, he needs to dig coal for two days without eating or drinking, or the lean monkey to feed the pigs for three days.

A full worker is now worth about a dime and a half, and he is very open to the army of money and food, and he is afraid that he will not be able to make money because of the coal everywhere under the town, and if he remembers correctly, the state's policy will change by the end of this year, and the people's commune system will be abolished one after another, and after three years at most, all the peasants will be allocated their own land.

With his own land, he was afraid that he would not be able to grow enough food to eat, but he could not wait for three years, and he was mentally thinking about how to use the current commune collective system to earn the first pot of gold.

Seeing the two younger sisters sitting on the stone obediently, staring at the direction of their father's disappearance and licking their lips from time to time, Fang Dajun felt funny and his mood was extremely heavy, although he knew that the children in the village were basically like this now, but his sister could not suffer anymore in the future.

"Fourth sister, fifth sister, brother will earn money soon, and when the time comes, I will raise you all to be chubby." Fang Dajun said with a smile, speaking of fat dun is still a new word in the village, even in the town, it is difficult to see a few fat people, men in this period are fat for beauty, you are fat indirectly proves that the family conditions are good, and the fat figure is simply a big killer to find a partner, but unfortunately, he failed to gain weight young!
