The deep night sky, the stars are sparse and the moon is bright.
In the fence yard, Dai Hongmei, Luo Xuan, and the Zhou brothers were chatting away.
Xiaocao, who was feeling sleepy, ran to Luo Xuan's room and fell asleep.
In the entire Sixth Production Team, only Xiaocao could enter and leave Luo Xuan's room at will.
other people,
Uncle Zhang, Aunt Zhang, Uncle Ding and his third sister-in-law would not go into Luo Xuan's room.
The three brothers of the Zhou family didn't even dare.
The three of them had been dealt with psychologically by Luo Xuan for a long time. Without Luo Xuan's permission, the three brothers of the Zhou family did not dare to take a single step beyond the realm of thunder.
Boss Zhou's face was gloomy, and he said in a cold voice, "I told my father that as soon as he gets married, I will separate from him and live alone."
Dai Hongmei asked him softly, "Do you want to separate the family and live alone? You are currently working in the production team, and you can only count 6 work points.
If the year-end profits of the production team are better, you can still barely fill your belly.
If you encounter a little bit of drought or flood, what will you use to buy the quota of grain?
Don't compare yourself with Luo Xuan, even if you are ten Zhou bosses, you still can't stand up to Luo Xuan's ability."
Boss Zhou gave a wry smile, "How dare I compete with Luo Xuan? Luo Xuan is not only more capable, but he is also the only one in the production team who regards me as a human being.
The rest of you hate me, and I know it.
After we separate, I plan to go out with others to 'dig wild food' so that I can earn some money to buy food."
Dai Hongmei was shocked when she heard this: "Boss Zhou, you don't want to live anymore, how dare you go out to dig wild plants?
What if I catch you?
Even if you get to the place successfully, what should you do if you don’t get paid?
What should I do if I am bullied?
Do you know how many of the people who go to dig wild plants every year never come back?"
Boss Zhou gritted his teeth and said: "Can I survive without going out to dig wild food? For a while, I have relied on Luo Xuan to help with some work. We three brothers can still eat a few full meals, and can we still survive?" Live like a human being for a few days.
Wait until my father marries that woman.
I dare to say: Either my father beats us three brothers to death, or we three brothers kill my father! Otherwise, we all starve to death together."
Luo Xuan and Dai Hongmei glanced at each other quietly under the moonlight, and it was hard to persuade Boss Zhou immediately.
Because what he said was the truth and it was something that could be foreseen to happen sooner or later.
After all, the breeder, Uncle Zhou, can provide some collective feed.
But that little grain was not enough for him to make wine and drink it!
After Uncle Zhou gets married, only Uncle Zhou will have one and a half of the work points in the family, and Ye Erniang can also be considered a strong laborer.
Together with Boss Zhou, he can still earn 60% of his work points.
The three of them earn work points, but they have to support a family of nine. Everyone can imagine the final result.
As for the dig-yezhai that Boss Zhou mentioned just now, it is actually a saying originating from the old society.
that time,
Monks begging for alms are called "Dezhai". When they go out to beg for alms, they do so in a legitimate manner, so they are also called "Dezhai".
At this time, members are generally prohibited from moving around at will.
For example, when Mr. Zhou planned to go out to work secretly, he was naturally called "dig Ye Zhai" by everyone.
During this period, there were some big projects in other places, which required a lot of labor force to work on.
But locally, it is impossible to raise so many voluntary workers. After all, maintaining the basic operation of the production team still needs to be ensured as a priority.
Therefore, under this background, many underground contracting teams came into being.
In some relatively remote and poor production teams, members will greet the production team and hand over 3 to 5 cents to the collective every day, and the settlement will be based on the total number of work performed in 26 days a month.
In this case, the production team will issue them a travel certificate.
On the surface, it is in the name of "collectively organizing members to go out and help with project construction", but in fact it is the individual behavior of the members.
In the production team, only "management fees" are charged.
People like this who go out to dig wild vegetables wait until they return to the production team, and then settle the accounts with the team's accountant.
And the production team is not afraid of them defaulting on their debts.
You must know that the production team controls the members' quotas of food, homestead allocation, school quotas, recruitment quotas, etc.
If the person who digs up Ye Zhai dares not to settle the accounts with the production team.
Within the brigade, there are many ways to collect money.
This is actually a win-win situation. Many production teams even encourage members to go out and make money.
Boss Zhou is only 15 years old this year. Although he is thick and strong, he is still a young man after all.
Now he actually wants to follow Luo Xuan's example, establish the same family and live separately.
You don't need to think about it, you can imagine the great pressure on Boss Zhou.
Therefore, after much deliberation, Mr. Zhou decided to seek wealth and honor in the midst of danger and become a "Second Brother Zhai".
Digging a wild place is tiring and dangerous.
But the wages for digging the wild beast are okay...as long as you can get it smoothly.
The wages paid by diggers are actually much higher than the wages of regular employees in those units.
The boss of the Zhou family finished talking about his plan.
For a moment, the courtyard fell into silence.
At this moment, Uncle Ding's voice came from outside the fence, "Speaking of Zhou Dawa, you just rely on your bravery and strong body to withstand beatings, so you know how to act recklessly on weekdays.
I asked you, are you filled with dregs of tofu in your head? It’s okay if your brain doesn’t work well, your eyes don’t work well either, don’t you have a wink?”
In addition to being afraid of his father, Boss Zhou later became afraid of Luo Xuan.
Who was he ever afraid of in the production team?
Even production captain Peng Zhikun dared to yell at Peng Zhikun when he made Boss Zhou unhappy.
Now, when he heard Uncle Ding talking about him like this, he was in the same mood as the depressed Boss Zhou, and he immediately became angry!
"Sir, please don't wrap a dead snake around your waist and pretend it's a belt."
I heard Boss Zhou say in a cold voice, "Am I stupid or stupid? I don't want to be your son-in-law. I want you to come and make irresponsible remarks on me?"
Uncle Ding’s name is Ding Changgong.
In his old society, people worked as long-term workers for the landlords in the village.
Later, when the composition was determined, he was considered a poor peasant and a long-term worker in a landlord's family.
After the new society, Uncle Ding studied culture for a few days in a literacy class and learned 3,50 simple Chinese characters.
Uncle Ding simply changed his name from Ding Changgong to Ding Changgong.
In the words of Uncle Ding at that time: The "bow" of the "bow and arrow" was winding and winding, like a long snake, which was not good-looking.
Just like that guy in his place, he can wear it around his waist as a belt...
So now people in the production team are joking about Uncle Ding.
Just call him eldest brother.
It means that his thing is longer than the donkey braid in the production team.
When Uncle Ding heard Boss Zhou's harsh retort, he couldn't help but laughed angrily, "I'm not as blind as you, and my eyesight is pretty good. How could I possibly recruit you to be my son-in-law? Someone like you is so pretentious.
The guy who is half water and half bean dregs deserves to starve to death."
Boss Zhou snorted coldly and did not continue to fight with Uncle Ding.
After all, he knew that Uncle Ding and Luo Xuan had a good relationship, and Boss Zhou was worried that if he went too far, Luo Xuan would deal with him.
Boss Zhou is reckless, but he is actually not stupid.
Uncle Ding walked slowly to the yard and slowly sat on the stone beside the eaves.
Seeing this, Luo Xuan quickly went to the house and took out a pack of cigarettes and handed them to Uncle Ding.
"Stop giving me cigarettes. When I work here, I have a pack of cigarettes a day. What do you give me now?"
Uncle Ding pushed Luo Xuan's hand away, then took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, struck a match and lit it.
Boss Zhou had resentment in his heart, and he couldn't help but speak again, "Sir, are you bitten by fleas in your bed at night, so you can't sleep, and then you come here to gossip about me?
Just to vent your anger?"
Uncle Ding blew out a puff of smoke and snorted coldly, "Are you worthy of me to talk to you? I came here specifically to check if there is any thief in Luo Xuan's house."
Boss Zhou asked again, "Then what did you mean by those words you just said?"
Uncle Ding pointed at Luo Xuan, "The master is right in front of you, but it's a pity that you have a pair of dog eyes. I can't control how you live after the separation."
As long as you don't harm the crops in the production team and don't harm the chickens and ducks I raise, that's fine.
However, since you have been quite diligent in running errands for Luo Xuan these days, I will give you a clear path.
You idiot, you don’t know how to use your brain, and you don’t know how to ask Luo Xuan what you should do in the future and how you should do it?"
Dai Hongmei also chuckled and said, "Yes, Boss Zhou, why don't you be sweeter and ask Luo Xuan for some advice?"
Seeing Boss Zhou turning to look at him.
Luo Xuan said: "Go dig sand in the river."
Uncle Ding, Dai Hongmei, and the three Zhou brothers all wondered: "Dig sand? Why dig it?"
this period,
When building houses in the production team, few people build brick houses. Even on the streets of Hongxing Township, there are not many people who build brick houses.
Therefore, river sand, which was in short supply in later generations, is not valuable at all in this era, and the overall demand is also very small.
only,
The production scale of the foundry in Hongxing Township will soon be expanded. By then, the amount of foundry sand they will need will definitely increase a lot.
Although the demand for foundry sand is not enough to make anyone become a "sand tyrant", in addition, there are always units and private individuals building houses, which more or less need to buy river sand.
It is impossible to make a fortune just by relying on these types of businesses.
But if the three brothers of the Zhou family are willing to do this business and earn some work points on a regular basis to prevent them from starving to death, there will be no problem.
The foundry in Hongxing Township is small in scale and uses a relatively primitive green sand casting process.
Just mix 95% old sand with 2-4% new sand, and then add some bentonite and coal powder to make sand suitable for foundries.
Boss Zhou pondered for a moment, then shook his head, "I've thought about it, it's better to go out and hunt wild animals. I'm a brainless person, so it's safer to make money by selling my brute strength."
Luo Xuan had pointed out a way for him to make money, but due to the limitations of the thinking of the times, Boss Zhou ultimately did not accept Luo Xuan's suggestion.
Because in their minds, digging sand from the river to sell it is a kind of endowment, and it will be dealt with!
But Boss Zhou and the others failed to understand one thing: since Luo Xuan could tell him this idea, he would have his own solution.
Although this period is said to be a collective economy and a planned economy.
But no matter how thorough the plan is, there are still areas that cannot be covered.
Just like under the midday sun, there are always shadows.
For example, those who make popcorn, those who sell cold cakes and jelly, those who go from village to village to buy kitchen knives on credit, those who collect toothpaste skins, those who mend pots and basins, those who use chicken and dog skins to replace enamel jars, and even craftsmen who repair porcelain bowls...
How can the public "plan" this kind of business and "collectively" it?
Follow Luo Xuan's idea for Boss Zhou.
The river sand dug out at that time is piled up in the rice fields where the rice has been harvested to dry.
Then, in the name of Production Team 6, we sold construction sand and foundry sand to external parties.
As long as Boss Zhou is willing to do it, he can earn some money from chewing grain.
