It's day 10, what should I do today?

Yesterday I wandered around for another afternoon, no mobile phone, no computer, no all kinds of chaos, waiting, the bored Wang Mingyuan felt more and more difficult, feeling that the time had been extended countless times, and he couldn't survive the night.

A sense of decadence arises spontaneously.

He wanted to live a relaxed and leisurely life, not to be idle.

Alas...... Let's go to work, so that someone can still talk.

I don't want to go to work hungry, Wang Mingyuan rarely gets up early in the morning, boils water, and noodles, he is going to make a bowl and knife for himself, and he still has to eat breakfast well, otherwise, he will be bored with work.

Just when he was boiling the noodles and water, Zhang Shouzhong came to the door.

"Third uncle, so early? It's not dawn yet, it's still early to start work," Wang Mingyuan greeted with a smile: "Come in and sit." ”

"I'm going to the market today to sell some game or something, I'll come over and ask, if your head still hurts, and you won't be able to go to work today."

Zhang Shouzhong entered the house as he spoke, his eyes swept away, good guy, it's time to meet again.

He couldn't help but swallow his saliva at the thought of the noodles he had eaten that day.

"Catch up with the market......" Wang Mingyuan was slightly stunned.

"In our place, the lunar calendar is a day to catch the market, the big guys don't all have a little bit of their own land or something, the vegetables and fruits they grow can't be eaten, and the game, medicinal materials and other mountain goods they get can be taken to the market to sell, get a little money to subsidize the family, or buy some daily necessities or something."

Zhang Shouzhong explained: "No, I have been in the mountains for the past two days, got some things, and exchanged them for a few dollars. ”

Wang Mingyuan stretched out his head and looked out, and there were three hares and two pheasants at the door, all of which were still alive.

Now, Wang Mingyuan vaguely understands why Zhang Shouzhong's body is so strong, he eats meat on weekdays, and he can earn some extra money through game at any time.

"Can I go to the market without going to work?" Wang Mingyuan asked.

"Of course you can!"

Zhang Shouzhong leaned over, lowered his voice and said: "Now it's not as strict as a few years ago, you have to ask for leave and ask for a letter of introduction when you go out, don't the newspapers say that you want to carry out reform and opening up and invigorate the economy, how do you say that sentence, well, black cats and white cats, if you catch a mouse, you are a good cat." ”

"Then there is land reform, and in some places the land has already been contracted to households. Although it is an experiment, the effect is very good, but our places are too remote, but I estimate that it will be our turn in two years. ”

"You don't see that on the commune's side, people from other places have started to sneak over to do business, although they are still very strict, but many times they are just casual verbal warnings, and they don't really treat people, obviously, the policy has been relaxed a lot."

"In these years, starving to death for the faint-hearted, supporting the bold, I know that some people are secretly doing business, and they have already built big brick houses, tsk...... That's called a bright one. Xiao Wang...... I can't just go around talking about that. ”

As soon as he heard this, Wang Mingyuan's eyes changed when he looked at Zhang Shouzhong.

He never thought that these words would come from the mouth of such a rural mountain dweller.

Reform...... Why didn't I think of that?

How the song is sung: 1979, it was spring......

Mix and match all day, what am I doing?

Although I don't learn history very well, I also know that this is the period when the motherland has just begun to make great changes, and since then it has begun to leap forward, which can be described as opportunities everywhere, and indeed as Zhang Shouzhong said, starve to death the timid, support the bold, and the gap between the rich and the poor has begun to become prominent.

But I heard Zhang Shouzhong continue: "As for whether you go to work or not, you can do it yourself, anyway, you will have work points to get when you go to work, and if you don't go to work, you will have nothing." ”

Wang Mingyuan nodded: "Look at me, I always feel that something is not right in my head, and I want to go to the commune health center to take a look." ”

Yes...... A headache is a good excuse!

"That'll do!" Zhang Shouzhong thought for a while: "I'm going to sell something, it's better to leave sooner rather than later." ”

"Don't, Third Uncle Zhang, I'm not familiar with this place, but I can count on you to lead me through this experience and recognize the way." Wang Mingyuan hurriedly stopped him: "Besides, it's good to hurry when you're full, just go fast when the time comes, you see I'm almost ready, and it will be fine soon." ”

"That'...... Let's go! ”

Zhang Shouzhong hesitated for a moment, and finally moved a stool to sit down by the fire, and then watched Wang Mingyuan holding a kitchen knife, holding the dough, quickly cutting out the dough and falling into the tumbling pot, and then took two large earthen bowls, began to add sauce, vinegar, chili peppers and salt, and put a large tablespoon of lard in the bowl at the end, his eyes straightened.

This guy is really willing!

The noodles quickly floated in the water, Wang Mingyuan scalded a few vegetable leaves in it, and then divided the things into two large earthen bowls, served them to the table, and beckoned Zhang Shouzhong to eat them quickly.

Zhang Shouzhong tasted it, it was a completely different feeling from eating noodles, it was too chewy, and the taste was unexpectedly good: "Your craftsmanship is more than enough to go to the commune canteen to be a master in charge." ”

Wang Mingyuan smiled and said in his heart: My mother is a northerner, and she is best at these pasta, which is called inheritance, alas...... I don't know what happened to my parents, I haven't been in touch for more than a month, if they know that I don't go to work and sneak into the mountains to raise bees, will they want to kill me!

Well, I don't know if I can go back now! If you can go back, you'll have to make a good call.

The two quickly eliminated the knife shaved noodles and then got up and hit the road.

In the first twenty miles, Wang Mingyuan could barely keep up, but when he got to the back, he pulled his hips more and more: "This is to catch up with the market, it feels more like running for life."

He didn't understand how Zhang Shouzhong managed to walk twenty miles in less than an hour, and he still couldn't sweat and breathe.

It's a mountain road, not a flat road.

After finally climbing from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, Wang Mingyuan, whose legs were so sore that he almost cramped, wiped the beads of sweat on his head: "Third Uncle Zhang, aren't you tired?" Take a break. ”

"What is this, when I was a soldier in the early years, I went back and forth for more than 100 miles, one day at a time, and it was no problem." Zhang Shouzhong looked at Wang Mingyuan with a smile: "You have to practice hard." ”

"You've been a soldier, have you?" Wang Mingyuan was a little surprised.

"After a few years, I went home after leaving the army and joined the militia, by the way, I joined the militia captain Chen Jiawang and came back together." Zhang Shouzhong said: "That kid's luck is better than mine...... Okay, let's go, you know, once you go hard and then decline three times and exhaust the truth, walking is the same, you want to rest a second time after resting once, and if you go late, things will not sell. ”

Wang Mingyuan struggled to get up, trying to keep up.

It seems that Zhang Shouzhong has learned a lot of things in the army, and he should have seen a lot of the world, otherwise, he would not have a far more advanced understanding than the people in the same village.

Hurry all the way, and finally get to the commune market.

It is said to be a market, but in fact it is just a trade stall along both sides of the dirt road of the main road of the commune.

At this time, there were already many people in the market, but there were still all kinds of people dressed in clothes, either with their shoulders, or with baskets, and some people driving carriages and the like, with what they wanted to sell, gathered together, and the whole market was very lively, and it is not too much to describe it as rubbing shoulders one after another.

Zhang Shouzhong found a place to sell his game, while Wang Mingyuan wandered around the market.

As for seeing a doctor...... It's just an excuse.

Wang Mingyuan walked all the way, and most of the things sold in the market were vegetables, potatoes, beans and the like. There are also those who sell piglets, sheep, dogs, chickens, and other livestock.

Of course, popcorn and a variety of traditional handmade snacks, bamboo rattan products, dry tobacco, solid wood cutting boards and some knick-knacks are also indispensable.

In addition, there are some food stalls, some homespun stalls...... There are also some sneaking around looking for someone to peddle things, mysterious and mysterious, Wang Mingyuan took a closer look, it was some gadgets such as buttons.

As for rice, flour, grain, oil, clothing and socks, some daily necessities and light industrial products, they are still strictly controlled by supply and marketing cooperatives and stores. These stores are also the most lively places.

Originally, Wang Mingyuan also wanted to squeeze into the supply and marketing cooperatives to have a look, but he was weak and weak, and he was not an opponent, so he could only continue to wander outside stupidly, and wait for a little less stupid people to talk.

I have seen a dazzling variety of commodities in a modern big city, and back to this era, in Wang Mingyuan's eyes, everything seems too simple, and the reason why I want to see it is purely curiosity.
