As a first-hand experience of this era, Wang Manyin also knows a lot about literacy classes. It should be said that the eradication of illiteracy has indeed achieved great results, and many peasants have been lifted out of the situation of being blind.

But in the general environment at that time, some people thought things too simply, and only thought about completing the task as soon as possible to report the good news.

Take Yuanxi County as an example, the slogan shouted by the literacy eradicator back then was "People don't untie their armor, horses don't take off their saddles, and the war will be fought for eight days and nights." So, in just eight days, tens of thousands of young adults in the county took off their illiterate hats.

More than 1,500 children are literate per capita, and the majority of young adults have successfully reached the level of upper primary and lower secondary school graduation. The corresponding literacy diploma was issued in the commune.

At that time, a newspaper had a widely circulated report entitled "Literacy Story: Illiterate Ten Days Ago, Become a Teacher Ten Days Later". The article tells the story of an ordinary female member in a certain place, who only spent ten days reading more than 1,500 words of peasant literacy textbooks, and then she became a literacy tutor and successfully graduated two students.

Is such a thing true or false...... Just look at your aunt's orchid.

If it weren't for Wang Manyin forcing Orchid to be literate, it is estimated that she would still be blind now.

So for Wang Shiwa's graduation certificate, Wang Manyin didn't even want to look at it.

However, he was not ready to discourage the other party's enthusiasm, but just said: "Brother Shiwa, I can't promise you now." The two books used in the driver's license test are "Traffic Rules" and "Mechanical Common Sense", and you can borrow them from Runsheng and Jin Bo when you go back. If you can figure it out, how about I let you learn it then? Anyway, the factory is expanding all the time, and there will definitely be a need for more drivers. ”

Wang Manyin understands Wang Shishi's thoughts, and now being a driver is much better than an ordinary worker. In the words of later generations, it is this profession that has broader development prospects.

After Jin Bo and Runsheng got their driver's licenses, Wang Manyin directly increased their salaries to ninety-one months, and I don't know how many people envied them.

But it's one thing to have an idea, it's another thing to be able to do it.

Nowadays, it is not as easy to get a driver's license as it was in later generations, and many people need to memorize almost two books completely for the theory test alone.

If Wang Shiwa can really do this, Wang Manyin doesn't mind cultivating.

I'm afraid that the other party will toss blindly and waste time in the end.

"That'...... Okay," although Wang Shiwa was a little disappointed, she also understood that her "literacy class graduation certificate" was indeed not convincing.

But privately, he was really going to borrow two books to read, in case he could understand them.

Sending Wang Shiwa away, Wang Manyin continued to sit on the bamboo chair and fish, just to kill time.

Not to mention, there are really a lot of fish in this 30-square-meter lotus pond water surface. Especially the ears of wheat...... Wang Manyin took the bait ten times, and seven or eight times they grabbed food.

In half an hour, the four shrikes had been fed.

But he's also spotting something unusual now: the guys' screams are a bit motleying. One moment it sounded like a sparrow's chirping, the next it sounded like a pulsatilla's chirping, and a few more sounded like chirping of chicks.

In the end, Wang Manyin was a little confused, and he didn't know what the shrike bird should have called.

He had thought that these guys would stop completely after they were full, but he didn't know that they would continue to live.

After one of them grabbed the wheat ear fish, he flew directly to the branch of the horse tree next to it. Its pointed mouth rubbed back and forth a few times, and it actually hung the wheat earfish on the needle.

Wang Manyin was completely speechless.

He also wanted to catch some fish and fry them at night, and according to the practice of a few little guys, even if it was dark, it would be useless.

But if you really want to eat fish, it's easy to eat, there are carp and grass carp fed in the pond next to it, and you can get one later. It's just that it's too hot in the summer and I don't want to toss.

Wang Manyin's family guards a mountain alone, and after all these years of development, the appearance of the entire field has changed greatly. Now there are not only fish ponds and lotus ponds, but also a circle of fruit trees planted along the perimeter of the field.

They are all ordinary fruits, such as apples, pears, peaches, walnuts, etc. Since last year, these trees have been in the fruit-bearing period. Now the branches are covered with paper bags, and they should be ready to eat in a little more than a month.

He naturally learned the trick of putting paper bags on fruits, mainly to prevent insects and birds.

At work in the afternoon, Wang Manyin got up as usual to inspect the workshop.

In fact, the management of hairy eggs has always been very careful, and there have been no major problems for such a long time. However, as long as Wang Manyin is at home, he still can't appear in the factory every day, and from time to time he selects a few bags of roasted goods to taste.

The main reason for this is to let people know that he attaches great importance to the quality of the product.

There is also a ...... to prevent cheating and slippery

Even Wang Manyin himself felt that he was becoming more and more like a factory owner in later generations.

No way, private factories need to be efficient.

Many people develop problems during the large collective period, and they are lazy and lazy in their work. If you don't keep an eye on it, some people can do it and sit there and talk for a long time.

In fact, the work in the factory is not too busy now.

Mainly due to the recent summer vacation, coupled with the hot weather, the roasted goods are temporarily in the off-season for sales.

So before seven o'clock, Wang Manyin asked everyone to leave work early.

When she got home, Orchid washed her face and started to cook.

With a rice cooker at home, cooking is now very simple. Pour a pot of water directly, throw away half a bowl of rice, and leave it alone after the power is turned on. When the rice is almost cooked, stir-fry the vegetables over the heat and you're done.

Wang Manyin lit a fire in the middle of the field, covering it with freshly cut wormwood.

After a while, the fragrance filled the entire field, and the annoying mosquitoes disappeared without a trace.

After lighting the fire, he turned on the TV early to watch the news.

This is also Wang Manyin's habit, almost every day to understand some relevant policies.

The current form of news broadcasting is not much different from that of later generations, and the broadcast starts at 7 o'clock and lasts 30 minutes. In addition, several Chinese face announcers in later generations have appeared, but only one person appears to host every day.

"Today, half of the labor force in the Pearl River Delta region has left the land to run other industries, and the income from industrial and sideline industries has become the bulk of the rural economy...... Income from industrial and sideline industries accounts for 61 per cent of total rural income. ”

Listening to the host's upright voice on TV, Wang Manyin felt a little emotional. In just a few years, there has been a huge gap between the coastal and inland areas.

You can't catch up with one step, you can't catch up with one step at a time.

A wave of migrant workers has begun to appear in many places in the south, and most peasants in the interior are still struggling for food and clothing.

After reading the weather forecast, the orchid also cooked the meal. Scrambled eggs with tomatoes and a cucumber with garlic sauce are all alive.

It's hot, and Wang Manyin prefers garlic cucumbers. Take a bite of crispy and spicy, with a hint of sourness, which is particularly appetizing.

The people of the Loess Plateau really love to eat garlic, especially pasta, which must be accompanied by garlic. How does that sentence come about, "If you eat noodles without garlic, the fragrance will be half less."

People eat Luoluo noodles, most of them have to be dipped in garlic juice, steamed artichoke rubbing, if there is no garlic mixture, the taste will be reduced by three points, and when eating beef and mutton, people also like to use garlic to relieve greasy.

I have to admit that the environment can really assimilate a person's stomach.

When he first entered this world, Wang Manyin was not used to eating raw garlic cloves, and only felt heartburn.

Eating noodles now without garlic always feels inauthentic.

Of course, after eating garlic, the taste is very strong, and you need to brush your teeth after eating. In terms of paying attention to hygiene, Wang Manyin has done a good job.

The family sat in the cave, turned on the fan, and watched TV while eating.

Soon, many broken babies rushed over after hearing the sound.

The TV station is broadcasting "Chen Zhen" from ATV. This TV series can be regarded as a sequel to "Huo Yuanjia", so it caused a great sensation as soon as it was broadcast.

Wang Manyin is now revisiting the classics.

***

After a summer rain, the corn sorghum in the gully quickly grew waist-deep.

The sea is churning, and the valley river is surging.

On the slope of the plateau ditch, the purple flowers of alfalfa are unusually conspicuous.

In the midst of the boiling heat, countless suffering people wore shiny white handkerchiefs on their heads, bare their backs, and waved hoes in the fields.

Wild grasses grow faster than crops after rain and must be hoeed every ten days and a half months.

A hoe went down, and the yellow dust flew.

Sweat dripped on the ground and quickly disappeared without a trace.

Of course, the sufferers are also afraid of heat, but they are more concerned about the harvest.

So the hotter the day, the more energetic the work. When the hoe reaches the ground, they can take a breath. Then hold the crockpot and drink a few sips of cold water to moisten your smoking throat. Cough twice and spit out the dust inhaled into your nostrils along with sticky phlegm.

Wang Manyin was also busy in the sunflower field. In half a day, the clothes on my body were sweaty several times. If it weren't for the fact that he wasn't allowed now, he would have given up the land to someone else.

Approaching eleven o'clock, Wang Manyin went home with a hoe.

When I arrived at the door of the house, I saw two bicycles parked in the shade of the tree, and there was a lively sound coming from the cave.

Hearing the movement outside, Shao'an and his family went out with Lanxiang one after another.

"Brother-in-law, where is the hoe (brother-in-law is back)?"

"Well, the grass in the sunflower field is too deep and needs to be cleaned up." Wang Manyin replied and said with a smile, "Why do you two have time today, the brick factory is not busy?" ”

Since opening the brick and tile factory, Shao'an and his family have become very busy. Usually they eat and live there, and only on Sundays will they take their children back to Shuangshui Village.

However, the business is really good, coupled with several connections in the county, there is an endless stream of people pulling bricks every day. In addition, the brickyard's walk-behind tractors and four-wheeled vehicles are busy every day.

The original three-hole brick kiln was too busy for a long time. This spring, Shao'an dug four new brick kilns and recruited a few more people from the village.

Now the brick factory can produce almost 10,000 bricks a day, and according to the calculation of one-third of a brick, it can also earn three or four hundred yuan.

Cut out the cost, half of the profit.

Shao'an has been contracting a brick and tile factory for nearly a year, and has saved 50,000 or 60,000 yuan on hand. This made him feel more and more that there was nothing wrong with resigning in the first place.

After chatting a few words about homely things, Wang Manyin asked everyone to continue to go back to the house to blow the fan, and he took clean clothes and went to take a bath in the newly repaired bathroom.

Come to Wang Manyin's house as a guest, and eat all kinds of fried goods.

Now there are sliced watermelons and melons on the table in the cave, as well as two plates of roasted rice.

At this time, Huzi glanced at his mother, leaned over to Wang Manyin's side and whispered: "Uncle, I don't want to eat this kind of melon seeds, I want to eat those with plastic bags." ”

"It's all the same, and it's the same kind of melon seeds in plastic bags." Wang Manyin replied puzzled.

"No, there's a rare card out there."

Wang Manyin understood: "What card do you want, I'll take it now." ”

"I want cards too, my uncle will get me some!!" When Sun Yajie heard this, she raised her little hand.

Seeing this situation, Wang Manyin was very proud, indicating that his card has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

He turned around to go next door, and when he returned, he had a few more rare cards in his hand.

"Wow, Izumo Dragon Gongsun Sheng, this card is superb!" Seeing the card in his hand, Huzi jumped up excitedly.

"Brother-in-law, this card of your house is outrageous! Some time ago, our elementary school didn't have a holiday, and almost everyone was collecting cards, and some were still playing in class...... Each teacher in the school confiscated several sets. We couldn't figure out what the magic of a small card was! ”

Seeing his son's appearance, Tian Runye reluctantly spoke.

"Hehe, the fun of children, adults don't understand." Wang Manyin could only answer like this.

Seeing that the time was not early, Orchid set off to cook next door. Runye and Lanxiang went over to help.

Taking advantage of the free time before the meal, Shao'an said the purpose of his visit: "Brother-in-law, before I contracted the brick factory last year, you said that the ceiling was too low. I also feel now that the brick factory can sell about 10,000 bricks a day, no matter how high it is. In addition, from the beginning of spring to the present, other townships in the former West County began to set up private brick factories. It is estimated that by next year, the competition will be fierce. I'm still in the prefecture...... The key Shibijie Township is far away from the county seat, and it does not have much advantage in cost. ”

Speaking of which, the high labor cost of the brick factory has a certain relationship with the brother-in-law.

Wang Manyin's workshop gave a salary of two yuan a day, and although Shao'an could not open the same price, he could only mention five yuan a piece.

As for the relationship he said, he mainly refers to Xu Zhigong. In the past year, the other party has helped to contact a lot of engineering work.

Shao'an knew in his heart that people were looking at the face of Runye's second father. This kind of thing certainly won't last long...... There is always a day when the project is done.

Although the brick factory is still thriving, he already wants to transform in advance. But in what direction to turn to, there is no clear answer in Shao Anxin.

So after this idea came to him, he wanted to hear his brother-in-law's opinion for the first time. So I discussed it with Runye and brought the children to the door today.

"If you are planning to change careers to other businesses now, I can provide three directions for reference, the first is furniture, the second is spices, and the other is food ......."

For this question, Wang Manyin has thought about it many times in his heart. These three have a low barrier to entry and are considered the easiest to get started.

"Needless to say, now that life is better, many young people will buy new furniture when they get married. Especially in the city, they are more particular, and they all buy modular cabinet sofas and the like. Not long ago, when my sister and I went to Qin'an City, we saw that there were many people around the place where furniture was sold every day. A good sofa can sell for thousands of dollars...... Its materials are simple, nothing more than sponge, cloth, wood. As long as the style of furniture is novel, it will definitely not worry about sales. ”

"However, at the beginning, the investment was relatively large, and there were no more than ten or two hundred thousand, so I am afraid that I would not be able to toss. If you want money, I can lend you ......."

Summer vacation is the off-season, and the turnover of the workshop has decreased slightly, but it can also earn more than 20,000 yuan a day.

More than 100,000 or 200,000, Wang Manyin took it out easily.
