Chapter 215: The Life of a Little Man II
Li Daniu sat in front of the vegetable stall and waited for the guests, he was a member of the fifteenth production team, the so-called production team, that is, before Zhang Youde according to Chen Zijian's instructions, let the people who want to farm be organized, merged into a production team, so that after a few years of wasteland, according to the choice of the members of the production team, you can continue to combine or work separately, and combine them in the early stage, because the people have no savings, and there are no production tools or anything.
Li Daniu's production team came to Zhangjiacun very early, and after being freed, he thought that going to the factory to do things or something was a floating cloud, only farming felt down-to-earth, and there were still many such people, and the traditional thinking was not so easy to change, even if the wages of the factory were high.
Because the rice season has passed, the land that has been cleared out is wasted there, and the production team uses this free time to plant vegetables according to the order of the chief. Vegetables can be harvested in just a month or two.
Wu Shi already has a piece of venison in his hand, which is obtained by hunters when they go out to hunt, and now it is natural to eat venison, there is no wildlife law or anything in later generations, what prey hunters hit in the wild, there is no need to worry about someone pursuing it.
"Shopkeeper, this dish is good, bring me five catties."
Wu Shi saw that there were green vegetables, so he bought some, and the green vegetables that he didn't like to eat very much before, now he feels like eating them.
"Wait a minute, the guest officer will weigh you immediately." Li Daniu saw the guests come to the door, and worked neatly.
Taking advantage of the shopkeeper's busy work, Wu Shi asked curiously, "Shopkeeper, where did this dish come from, I haven't seen it some time ago!" I didn't want to eat a bite. ”
Li Daniu: "Hehe, guest officer, this is planted by our fifteenth production team, and the harvest began three days ago. You can buy it later. ”
Wu Shi was a little surprised, there was an output so soon, so should he also apply for the wasteland, but he was reluctant to give up the work at hand, it was really difficult.
The vegetable market is very lively, Wu Shi felt an unprecedented thing in it, he didn't know a hundred words, he couldn't say anything, but there was a kind of enjoyment in it, the world should be like this, I had suffered so much before, but I didn't expect to have another chance after being arrested.
The vegetable market is not far from the new area, Wu Shi walked back with his things, and when he was about to get home, he met a lot of acquaintances, and it was not right to say that acquaintances were not right, but everyone lived nearby and felt more familiar, so he smiled and nodded all the way.
When I was about to get to the house, I saw a few boys writing something on a stone table, one of them was a boy and a girl, and the other were the neighbor's children, and it was easier for the children to play together.
"Uncle Shi, you're back."
A child just looked up and saw his accomplice's father coming back, and greeted him politely.
"Daddy!"
"Daddy!"
Wu Shi: "What are you doing, aren't you going to play!" ”
Wu Qiu said shyly, "The homework that Mr. assigned to us can only be played after we finish it today." ”
For going to school, Wu Shi is a hundred willing, I can't imagine that he can produce two scholars from a poor family, this is a matter of green smoke from the ancestral tomb, when you are free, you have to go back to worship.
I glanced at the things written by a few children, on a yellowed piece of paper, there were fonts, most of which Wu Shi recognized, it was a relatively simple word, originally Wu Shi did not know a big character, usually after the factory got off work, the factory organized employees to carry out literacy actions.
The literacy campaign does not require individuals to participate, but the literacy campaign has a benefit that people can't refuse, two months later Zhangjiacun will start the exam, the content of the exam is the primary school level, after the test score reaches more than 80 points, return to the original factory to work, the basic silver has the original three taels a month, raised to four taels of silver, which is enough to add one or two silver, the result is that almost all employees after work, follow the literacy, because they are adults, the speed of learning is much faster than that of children.
In the past, he was envious, jealous and hated for readers, but now that he has the opportunity, Wu Shi studies hard, so he can now understand what the children in front of him are writing.
Complimenting the seriousness of several children, Wu Shi returned home, saw his wife cooking dinner, and handed over the things to his wife to work, Wu Shi said negotiably, "A-Ying, I want to go back and pick up my mother after a while." What do you think! ”
Chen Ying, who was immersed in work, turned around, "Stone, you can call the shots, it's better to take your mother over as soon as possible to enjoy the blessings." ”
Before the volunteers arrested people in Maoming County, as long as there were people and children with labor, for the old and frail elderly, leave them enough food and silver, Wu Shi's wife can do some small things at home every day, but it is difficult to go out to do things, because this is in Maoming County.
Of course, there is no need to worry about security in the county seat, and there is no need to worry about any thieves suddenly attacking the county seat or something, because it has long belonged to the territory of the volunteers, and there are dozens of production teams dispatched by Zhangjia Village outside the county to carry out farming. In addition, the volunteers are cleaning up the bandits in the county, and although the population of the county is small, safety is guaranteed.
Knowing that the old lady at home is fine, Wu Shi can stay in Zhangjia Village to do things with peace of mind, but now he is enjoying himself here, so that the old lady can live a hard life in the county seat in vain.
Just live a hard life in the county seat, come to Zhangjia Village to enjoy happiness, if it weren't for Wu Shi in it, who would believe it.
Taking advantage of the time, Wu Shi went to the store to see what new business was there, and on the way back just now, he heard that there were new things in the store, and now he was free to go over and take a look.
"Dog, Xiaoqiu, hang out with Daddy. I'll take you to buy something delicious. "It's rare to have time to come back, and Wu Shi naturally won't waste time.
Wu Tian clapped his hands, "Okay, okay, Dad, let's go out to play." ”
Although Wu Qiu didn't speak, his expression was happy, Wu Shi didn't have the idea of patriarchy, maybe others had it, but he felt that both men and women were his own flesh and blood, and in the case that girls from other families might not be allowed to go to school, Wu Qiu had no such concerns.
When the primary school opened, the boys accounted for the majority at that time, and the girls were less than one-fifth of the boys, the reason was naturally that most people did not give their girls to study, thinking that it was a waste of time, girls had to get married, and what was the use of poor girls studying.
Chen Zijian will not say anything to those people about this phenomenon, let the police find out, if there are girls in the family who do not come to class, the salary will be directly halved, and others can have three taels of silver, and the family that does not let the girl come to study can only get one or two halves of silver.
In the face of the interests in the heart, even if I don't want to, I can only obediently send the girl to primary school, most of the jobs here are state-owned enterprises, or related to state-owned enterprises, who dares not to listen to the salary when it is paid, directly deducted, and there is no place to reason.
On the issue of reading, Chen Zijian was too lazy to convince the people, the people saw the problem short-sighted, and only cared about the immediate interests, Chen Zijian looked at the problem from the overall situation, and naturally did not want to waste human resources.
Wu Shi left with the two children, and the children next to him looked enviously.
When I arrived at the store, there were a lot of people who came to buy things, almost crowded, the scale of the store was very atmospheric in Wu Shi's opinion, seeing so many people outside, Wu Shi didn't want to squeeze in, there was a large group of people outside the store.
"Dog, Xiaoqiu, go over and see what's going on." Bringing the kids out is just to see the excitement, so you don't have to go into the store.
Wu Shi came at the right time, more than a dozen people came out with something in their hands, and a seller shouted to everyone, "Ladies and gentlemen, now I recommend a good thing to everyone, this is made by the chief's wife's factory, it is trustworthy, this thing used to cost one or two pieces of silver, and now the chief has found a good way to solve the production restrictions, and now it can be sold in large quantities at a cheap price." ”
Someone replied, "The shopkeeper is going to tell me something, I've been waiting for you for a long time." ”
The shopkeeper smiled, didn't rush to answer, picked up a piece of soap and began to explain the benefits of soap to everyone.
"Well, having said all this, you may have some doubts, there is a soap trial area over there, you can go there to clean your hands, you know how good soap is."
Wu Shi took the two children to line up together, and soon waited for them, looking at the soap after cleaning their hands, they originally thought that their hands were very clean, and they were even cleaner after being cleaned by soap, Wu Shi was attentive, after coming to Zhangjia Village for so long, everyone has been used to being clean, and now seeing the benefits of soap, who is not impressed.
Soon the price spread among the people, and a piece of soap cost twenty yuan, which is really cheaper than one or two pieces of silver before. After buying several pieces, Wu Shi was satisfied for a month.
The next morning, Wu Shi first went to the management office to take over the temporary task, managing the people captured by the chief, for such a thing, Wu Shi had some emotion, he was captured by the Volunteers, but now he is helping the Volunteers to manage the newly captured people, there is a taste of being a tiger.
