Chapter 89: Signals

Chen Fan, who was already a little unfamiliar with the market, was even darker when he heard this.

What does it mean?

Fortunately, there was no need for him to ask, so Captain Zhang began to talk about it in fragments.

"In our place, there have been big gatherings since ancient times, generally on the first and fifteenth days of each month, and two days a month. When it comes to the winter moon and the wax moon, considering that every household has to prepare New Year's goods, it becomes the fifth, fifteenth and twenty-fifth days of the lunar month, and you can buy more and sell more things.

For example, the first, fifth, and twenty-fifth days of the Lunar New Year are small gatherings, which are held in the surrounding villages in turn, saving the people from running long distances. Fifteen is the big gathering, with more people and more goods, and the location is near the commune, so that the villagers of ten miles and eight towns can come to participate.

Even if the public-private partnership, unified purchase and sales were carried out later, and tickets were required to buy things, but for the rural large gathering, it has never been blocked, as long as it is a home-grown thing in the countryside, including what tables, chairs, and homespun cloth, everything does not need a ticket, and you can buy it with money.

That is, industrial products are not allowed to enter the large market, which are things in the factory, and they must be purchased and sold in a unified manner, and cannot be confused with agricultural products.

In 65 years, we still had a big set here.

At that time, ordinary people could take out their surplus things and sell them, no matter how many things there were, even if there were only two eggs, they could carry them in their pockets to go to the market, and exchange two pieces of candy to come back to coax children's mouths. ”

Speaking of this, Captain Zhang let out a long breath, looked at the direction of the front yard, and laughed, "It's a pity." ”

He turned his head to look at Chen Fan, who was full of sluggishness, and suddenly grinned, "When I look at you like this, I know that I haven't lived in the countryside before, otherwise I wouldn't even know this. ”

Chen Fan laughed dryly, "I forgot, I don't have an impression." ”

Captain Zhang snorted, "That's right, if you hadn't had something wrong with your brain, you wouldn't have ended up here, and you might not be able to enjoy happiness in a high-ranking cadre's house." ”

Chen Fan looked down at himself, "Gao Gan who wears the belt of cotton pants?" ”

He received several sets of clothes, but he didn't have a belt, and at first he asked Jiang Lili for a piece of hemp rope as a belt, and then Jiang Lili sewed him a cotton belt for his trousers, thanks to his thick skin, otherwise he would be ashamed to death.

When Captain Zhang heard his words, he couldn't help laughing, and then said, "It's not far from here to the commune, the 5th team of Ganjia Village is next to the commune, and it will take more than half an hour to walk over. ”

Chen Fan glared, "Belt? ”

Captain Zhang nodded, "Generally, it is pigskin, or some beast skin, and the cowhide is taken away from it, and there will definitely be no one, and some dare not take it out and sell it."

If you have a leather, you can go to the commune to find a coppersmith to make a belt buckle, which is a good belt, as long as it is not ripped around, it can be used for decades without breaking. ”

Chen Fan's eyes widened, "Coppersmith? ”

And now there is a self-operated handicraft shop?

Captain Zhang said with a smile, "There are repair shops in the commune, blacksmiths and coppersmiths, blacksmiths mainly repair farm tools, kitchen knives and scissors, coppersmiths are the former silversmiths, and later they are not allowed to wear gold and silver jewelry, so they changed their careers to become coppersmiths and play some delicate things." You don't need a ticket to buy these things, in addition to the planned supply of raw materials, many of them are scrap iron and scrap copper collected from the scrap station, and you can buy them for a little money, but they don't look good at the belt buckles sold by the supply and marketing cooperatives. ”

Chen Fan suddenly realized that he was this kind of coppersmith.

After talking a lot, he finally understood what was going on with this resumption of the market, and then asked, "The time is the 19th of the lunar month, Sunday, and the location is Team 5 of Ganjia Village, are there any other regulations?" ”

Captain Zhang patted his head, "Yes, I want to think about it." ”

After a pause of two seconds, he suddenly turned around and walked into the radio room, "I just received a call from the commune, and I didn't even have time to record it. ”

Chen Fan nodded, "It's better this way." ”

Captain Zhang sat down at his desk, took out a stack of papers, took out the pen he was carrying, and wrote with a brush.

Chen Fan watched him write and asked, "Captain, didn't our Captain Yang say that you can't call during the broadcast, so can the commune's phone call come in?" ”

Captain Zhang said without raising his head, "You can't make a call on the line shared with the radio, and now the switchboard is connected to the brigade headquarters, and the line between the brigade and the police station does not need to be broadcast, so it can be used at any time." ”

Chen Fan let out an "oh" and stopped talking.

After a while, Captain Zhang wrote most of the page, turned around and handed it to Chen Fan.

Chen Fan looked at it carefully, nodded and said, "Okay, I understand." ”

……

A two-hour broadcast, not just news.

In addition to the news, there are also several operas, storytelling, a few songs, and even a 30-minute broadcast of "Little Trumpet".

"Little Trumpet" is a story program, mainly to listen to stories, and today's broadcast is "Journey to the West", but unfortunately it doesn't match before and after, and it makes people listen to it.

Even so, adults and children sit under the loudspeaker, listen with relish, and regard this as a rare form of entertainment.

At half past eight, the news began again.

Chen Fan was holding the precautions written by Captain Zhang for the gathering, writing and drawing on it, and drafting his first notice draft.

Then suddenly I heard a message.

"On January 23, the excellent opera "Honghu Red Guards", which had been put into the cold palace for ten years, was re-performed in Wuhan, which was a great joy in the cultural circles,......

Chen Fan was stunned for a moment, if he remembered correctly, the re-performance of this song and dance drama represented the official arrival of cultural icebreaking, and since then, all kinds of sealed songs, movies and other works have been able to see the light of day, breaking the monopoly of model opera.

After two seconds of silence, he shook his head again, reminding himself to be cautious in his words and deeds, and to see the situation.

If you can't get a political examination certificate, you can't enter the cultural system, and the only way for people outside the system to make money through culture is to earn manuscript fees by writing.

But unfortunately, Chen Fan watched an old writer's program before, and he remembers it clearly, there is no manuscript fee for writing and publishing articles at this time!

Yes, no matter how many words you write, you don't have a penny for the manuscript.

Because someone above said that you have a job and a salary, even if you are a member, you can earn a share of work, what do you want to do with the manuscript fee?

That's something that only exists in a capitalist society!

So after the crossing, Chen Fan never thought of making money by writing.

As for when the manuscript fee system will be reinstated, he is also unclear.

But hearing the report of the resumption of the performance of "Honghu Red Guards" today is a strong signal.

This kind of program has been restored, and the old literati who have worked in the fields can wash their feet and go ashore again, and when they return to their posts, they will definitely fight for the lost benefits.

In this way, it shouldn't be far from the day when codewords make money, right?!

Just as he was thinking, this morning's broadcast also came to an end, and a piercing "tick ......" sound came from the loudspeaker.

Chen Fan came back to his senses, quickly turned off the radio, then turned on the microphone switch, first "heed" twice, and then said, "Comrades of the members, comrades of the members, please pay attention, an important notice is now broadcast."

I have just received news from the commune, and after careful consideration by the leaders of the commune and in response to the ardent demand of the masses, it has been decided to hold a large-scale rural ,......."

Chen Fan's voice echoed in the sky above Lujiawan, and the more than 3,000 villagers in the whole brigade stared intently at the loudspeaker, as if they could see a flower.

It wasn't until the two announcements were over that everyone came back to their senses, but some people's faces were still incredulous, "What did you say on the loudspeaker just now?" Resumption of the big set? ”

There were already people next to him who were happy to clap their hands, "Yes, yes, you heard it right, on the 19th of Layue, in the 5th team of Ganjia Village, as long as you go over, you can participate in it, you can buy things casually, you don't need tickets, and you can bring your own things to set up a stall, which is a big deal." ”

Whether you want to buy or sell, you are jubilant at this time.

In addition to the excitement to see, some of them thought far-reaching, and an idea popped up in their minds.

This time it's just a temporary big set, will there be a day when it will resume the same as before, and the market will be held twice a month?

Those people are gone, it should be okay, right?!
