At this time, in Lujiawan, every household is busy, but the busy things are different from the past.

In the past, when farm work was not so busy, the members of the production team were generally doing their own things.

Some weeded and caught insects in their vegetable fields, some went to hunt pigweed and feed livestock, some tidied up the house, pulled pig manure to the team to change jobs, some slowly shook the spinning wheel to spin cotton thread, or sat in front of the loom, pushing and pulling the ground to weave.

The younger boys carried a shabby basket, fought from the front of the village to the back of the village, took branches and bamboo as weapons, and the basket was a shield, looking for people to catch and fight everywhere, and waited until it was getting late, and then quickly grabbed some pigweed and went home.

Girls are naturally hopscotch, jumping rubber bands, and kicking shuttlecocks, but as usual, there is a small basket for pigweed.

The slightly larger ones take the fishing rod to fish, the rods are all bamboo, without exception, but the fishing line is slightly different, the children do not understand the fishing line, anyway, there is any line at home, some are nylon ropes for weaving fishing nets, some are cotton ropes for sewing quilt covers, and there are all kinds of strange things.

Of course, there are more normal fishing lines, but the thickness is difficult to say, and there are many people who want to catch big fish with a small hook with a thin line, and there are many people who want to fish for small crucian carp with a thick line and a big hook.

As for the bait, there are basically two types, one is an earthworm, and the other is a maggot crawling out of the dry toilet.

Children are not sensible, they don't know how to find fish, people stand by the water, and where I am, the fish will be there.

Pick a lotus leaf to make a hat, and it is good to be able to squat by the water for half an hour.

When these children grow up and become more experienced, they can know where the fish are at a glance, and they can catch a big black fish with a thin bamboo pole, which is not a problem.

But why can you catch it? I don't understand, ask again is the feel!

If you can get a thin wire, the best one is the spokes of the wheel of a bicycle, sharpen the head and break it into a hook, and then you can go to the bottom of the ridge to find a hole to fish for eels.

However, at this time, it is necessary to pay attention to the difference between the entrance of the hole, the round one is the eel hole, if it is flat, it is very likely to catch a snake, or a few small crabs.

There are also people who go to the woods with slingshots to hunt birds, and if they are lucky enough to catch a sparrow, they will secretly take it home as if they were on a secret mission, then boil water and pluck the feathers, and put it in the stove to roast it while cooking at night.

Usually at this time, Captain Yang will also be more leisurely.

Few men can do the work of weeding and catching insects, and they can't spin or weave cloth, and they don't pull dung every day, and he is no exception, so he walks slowly from the head of the village to the end of the village, looking for people everywhere to chat.

Occasionally, I would sneak up on someone's house and scrub around twice.

The vast majority of people in later generations believe that there is no gambling in this era.

Are you sure?

Not necessarily!

There is a writer named Ye Zhaoyan, whose grandfather is Ye Shengtao, and when he writes articles reminiscing about his childhood in the countryside, there is a plot of playing cards in the village in those years.

Every New Year's Day, there must be a few households in the village will open, either pai gow or mahjong, the game is not small, and the ones on the table are gross tickets, and even cents are rare.

At that time, as soon as the field opened, all the slogans and learning were left behind, and there was only the hard wooden sign in my eyes. The people at the table started a war, and the onlookers were not idle, some people were sitting on the side, which one could be pressed to win, one point and two points were not limited, and he dared to accept one or two pieces.

Even the children will spin around, the smart will help the "big winner" pick up the money that falls from the table, and when people are happy, they will reward a dime or two, and when the child gets the money, the smart IQ will immediately fade, and the impulsive desire will reoccupy the high ground, and resolutely press the reward money as gambling money.

Needless to say, the ups and downs in the middle are all clean and slippery in the end, and there are no good results.

The situation in Lujiawan is naturally not as exaggerated as described in the article, not only is it playing big, but it is not afraid of suspicion, and it is not afraid of children inadvertently saying it.

Playing cards here is generally fixed in the homes of a few families without children, and the doors are closed to play their own. And it's not as big as playing there, you can play two rounds with one or two points in your hand, and watch the game from the side after losing.

Everyone knows that this kind of thing can't be said outside, otherwise it won't be pleased, at least a confiscation of license funds and a public review are indispensable, so they are very strict.

So much so that Mr. Chen, who is known as well-informed, didn't even know that there was such a thing in the village.

Thanks to him, he learned to play mahjong with Lu Siye, and he still used card mahjong, for fear of being known. Otherwise, they will definitely go over and kill all sides, so that they know what the God of Gambling is!

Of course, that was before, and now Lujiawan doesn't have the leisure for them to play mahjong.

People in every family are busy, but what they are doing is not what they used to do, but under the overall arrangement of the team, they are preparing for the expansion of breeding.

Captain Yang sat in front of the house, and there were more than a dozen bamboos piled up on the field, one end falling to the ground, the other end held in his hand, and the knife in his hand broke down the bamboo into thin bamboo strips.

The difference between the diligent rural man and the hard-working man is only in the level of ability, and what he has to do now is not something extraordinary, nothing more than a cage for live birds.

When Accountant Liu came over with a notebook, he raised his head and said, "Done?" ”

Accountant Liu nodded, "I've finished writing in the morning, and I have to remember it again in the afternoon." ”

This kind of work is relatively scattered, some are done for their own families, so they do not record the work, and some are done for the collective, so it is necessary to make a good record, although there may be one or two points of error, but the overall must be reasonable, otherwise he is not qualified as a scorekeeper.

took the chair handed by Yang Mei, the second daughter of the Yang family, sat down, first took out two cigarettes made by himself from his pocket, and gave one to Captain Yang. ”

Captain Yang put down the bamboo and the knife, picked up a cigarette and lit it, and said with a smile, "Before, each family received 30 chickens, 20 ducks, and 10 geese, and basically all of them survived, only a few families did not take care of them, and a few were killed or injured."

This first batch of acquisitions, most of the ducks and geese were taken away, only a few females were left to do seeds, the money from the sale, the seedling money with almost no money was deducted, as well as the medicine fees paid by the team before, and then the management fees of the team and the team were deducted, and the family can divide more than 30 yuan, which is almost half of the dividends of a strong labor force last year, what is the difference between this and picking up money?

If they make money, they must want to make more, can they not cooperate well. ”

Speaking of this, he kicked the bamboo under his feet, and laughed, "I want to too, look, when the bamboo cage is finished, I will go to build a bigger chicken coop and raise a few more chickens." ”

Although he is the team leader, he is not as good as the cadres of the brigade, he can get "full work", that is, 10 points a day, the cadres of the team only have subsidies, he is 300 points a year, not even one-tenth of the team coordinator, naturally he has to do farm work like ordinary members, so that he can get the work, but it can not be compared to Master Liu, who raises livestock and drives carts at the entrance of the village.

But there will also be some invisible benefits, such as the allocation of resources of the production team is in their hands, and as long as they go to work, they must be recorded as ten points.

Otherwise, if there is no convenience, why bother to be a squad leader and accountant.

Hearing Captain Yang's words, Accountant Liu also laughed, "I'm just coming to you to rest for a while, and when I'm done smoking this cigarette, I'll go back to build a chicken coop." ”

The two laughed for a while, and Accountant Liu suddenly sighed again, "It's a pity, Captain Ye and they promised the other 4 brigades before, and when our farm is set up, we will pull them along, so that now we can't even buy seedlings, and we have to help them sell goods when we go back." ”

Captain Yang said with a smile, "What do you want to do so far, when their chickens, ducks and geese are raised, the fastest is the month of La, for such a long time, Xiao Chen, safety, they can't run a few more big customers out?"

Even if we don't, the team headquarters will definitely accept the goods from our own team first, and then we can take care of others.

Besides, it's not for nothing, whether it's chickens, ducks, geese or something else, they give us a purchase price that is 5 cents cheaper, and they have to deliver it. ”

After finishing speaking, he dusted off his cigarette ashes, pointed at Accountant Liu and said with a smile, "You are just stingy, reluctant to give benefits to others, don't forget, a production team is a small collective, the commune is a big collective, everyone collects firewood and the flame is high, and mutual help can last for a long time. ”

Accountant Liu was told a lot, and he was not angry, grinning and laughing, "I definitely understand this, a few months ago, Captain Ye asked them to pay them seedlings on credit, and they also helped us, it is normal to have contacts and contacts." ”

After a pause, he said with a smile, "Didn't I see that they set up a farm, and as a result, there were too few seedlings, and we couldn't buy them ourselves." ”

Secretary Yang frowned slightly, and nodded slowly, "The scarcity of seedlings is indeed a problem, even if you can hatch some of them yourself, but if you want to double it, the gap is still very large." ”

After a pause of two seconds, he raised his head again, shook his head and said, "Take your time, I remember the last time the safety told me, the feed pressure in the team is very high now."

Soon the rabbits will start to be distributed, and now we have to expand the scale of chicken breeding, plus the new livestock and more pigs in the team, even if there are a lot of slopes to plant grass during spring ploughing, it is estimated that there will be a lot of shortages. ”

Speaking of this, he shook his head and sighed, laughed twice, and said, "When I was not allowed to raise it a few years ago, I was thinking, when I can raise it one day, I must build a large farm and raise thousands of chickens."

When I really started a farm now, I realized that this thing is really not simple.

Seedlings, feed, breeding environment, disease prevention、...... One problem after another, it's hard to raise these things, and you have to worry about where to sell them.

If it weren't for Xiao Chen Luziguang, he would be able to eat anywhere and find a big buyer for these things, otherwise he would rely on us and die of worry. ”

Accountant Liu nodded, was silent for two seconds, and suddenly said, "So the 5 cents we earned from other teams were not earned in vain." ”

Captain Yang finally couldn't help but roll his eyes, "You talk a lot." The 5 cents is not our price reduction, it is the problems that people have seen with their own eyes that we have encountered along the way in breeding, and they know that the market is not easy to find, so they take the initiative to reduce the price.

After all, there are rules above, how much a thing is worth is how much it is, and it's better to say that it's a little cheaper, otherwise they dare to drop a dime. ”

When Accountant Liu heard this, he immediately smiled and stopped talking.

This is also the current collective business, and the future generations are very different from the place, bargaining is also uncommon, the initiative to reduce the price is also not uncommon, the basic rule is to guide the price as a criterion, according to the conscience of the speak.

Even in later generations, some old people who came from the era of the production team still uphold this rule, as much as they want, and never shout indiscriminately.

It's a pity that later generations were rich in materials, but it was difficult to meet lovers, and farmers were severely depressed, and over time, this situation was difficult to see.

Secretary Yang of the brigade department promised to buy the things raised by the other four production teams if conditions permit, and only earn 5 cents a catty.

The two talked at the door for a while, and Accountant Liu was going back.

At this time, the phone rang suddenly in the room, Captain Yang glanced back, got up and walked into the house, and Accountant Liu followed in.

This phone is almost a special phone of the brigade headquarters, and when he comes over at this time, there must be something, of course he wants to go in and take a look.

Captain Yang walked quickly to the house, Yang Mei had already answered the phone, and when she saw him coming in, she immediately handed the microphone over, "Dad, Secretary Yang is looking for it." ”

"Hmm,"

Captain Yang answered, took the microphone with a serious face, and almost instantly, he adjusted his posture to answer the phone.

His feet were slightly open, slightly wider than his shoulders, his left hand was on his waist, his right hand was holding the microphone to his ear, and his forehead was raised high, "Secretary, I'm Yang Chuanfu, what's the matter, you say." ”

"Huh? Oh. Uh-huh, uh-huh, okay, I'll do it right away. ”

Captain Yang's face kept changing, and he didn't say much, just responded vigorously.

In less than two minutes, he hung up the phone and strode out.

Accountant Liu followed him awkwardly and asked anxiously, "What's wrong?" A good thing or a bad thing? ”

Before he could cross the door, Captain Yang suddenly stopped, turned his head to look at him and laughed, "Good thing, great good thing." ”

Accountant Liu just breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it wasn't a bad thing.

Then I heard him say, "Today the deli opened, and all the 300 chickens, ducks and geese prepared were sold out in just one hour." Just now, the security called the brigade headquarters and asked us to organize another batch of goods immediately, and when the ship comes back, it will be loaded on the ship and sent there, and they plan to sell it again in the afternoon. ”

Accountant Liu's eyes widened and he raised three fingers, "300 chickens, ducks and geese, all sold out?" ”

Captain Yang nodded vigorously, "Not only that, but even the other 200 catties of potatoes and tofu skin, yuba, and dried tofu were all sold out, and they were sold at a high price, and the business was so good!" ”

After a pause, he breathed a sigh of relief and sighed, "We are still timid, yesterday before Xiao Chen set off, he said that there were fewer goods to prepare, if he prepared more, he could make a lot of money!" ”

Accountant Liu rolled his eyes, and walked out, "Then what are you waiting for, hurry up and stock up the goods, and send them to the dock when you're done." ”

Captain Yang did not delay, and walked outside again, "You run in front and I run behind, and all households have been notified, so that they can catch the chickens that can be slaughtered and all the ducks and geese and send them to the dock." ”

Originally, the estuary leading to the Yangtze River was on the side of the 7th team, but considering that the water flow there was relatively fast, and the chickens, ducks, geese and rabbits bred by the brigade headquarters were the most, which may be the main force of the supply of goods from the farm in the future, and finally the brigade headquarters unanimously decided to build a small wharf here in the 6th team, which was specially used to dock cargo ships.

It is said that it is a wharf, but it is actually very simple, that is, a staircase extending into the water is built with not too thick wood, because the water level is still relatively high, there is not even a cement pier, they want to wait for the dry season in winter to build a red brick wharf, as a docking point for cargo ships.

Therefore, to deliver goods to the county seat, first of all, the other teams must send the corresponding goods to the 6th team.

It has also become the distribution center of Lujiawan's foreign goods.

When Secretary Yang and Accountant Liu left, Yang Mei's eyes rolled slightly, and she shouted into the room, "Mom, I'll go find my sister." ”

Without waiting for her mother to speak, she ran out of the house, completely ignoring the shouting of her three younger siblings.

……

At the same time, in the Luwan delicatessen in Gufeng County, Chen Fan looked at Zhang Wenliang, who was holding the canvas bag tightly, and said angrily, "Let you go to the credit cooperative, if you don't go, you just have to hold it in your arms, and it's not too hot." ”

(Bankbook of 1977)

Zhang Wenliang wiped his sweat and said, "This money must be put into the account of the brigade headquarters, and it is deposited in the bank, how can it be recorded?" ”

Security laughed on the side, "You deposit the money in the bank, and then ask him to write a transfer check for you, and then you take the check back to Nanhu and go to the Nanhu Credit Union to cash the check, which is not only convenient, but also very safe, why don't you open your mind?" ”

Zhang Wenliang glared, "What if it falls?" ”

Security explained, "There is a collection unit and account number on the transfer check, even if someone else picks it up, it's useless, you find the bank to report the loss, and then reopen a new one, isn't it over, and you're worried that it will fall?" ”

(1975 cash check)

Zhang Wenliang was still a little confused, "It really won't fall?" ”

He tightened the canvas bag he was holding, "I'm still a little worried." ”

Chen Fan looked at him speechlessly, and after two seconds, he couldn't help but smile and said, "That's okay, you have more than 2,400 yuan there, you first ask Accountant Li of the brigade to come over with the official seal and information, he must know what to do, when the time comes, you give him the money, even if you pay the errand, the rest of the things will be handed over to him, okay?" ”

This time, Zhang Wenliang didn't say anything, and immediately nodded and smiled, "This is okay, this is okay!" ”
