Baima Commune is 18 miles away from the technical secondary school.
That was the destination where Luo Xuan and Zhang Xiaoli went to the countryside for their first internship.
Luo Xuan wakes up early every day.
On this day, Zhang Xiaoli also got up early. After washing, she stood at the door of the men's dormitory and waited for Luo Xuan.
At this time, the chefs in the student cafeteria in the school were busy steaming steamed buns and making porridge. It was not officially open to the public yet.
Luo Xuan, who thought it was troublesome to wait for them to cook, rode his bicycle directly and went out with Zhang Xiaoli.
After the two drivers arrived at Baima Commune and found out the location of the livestock station.
Luo Xuan pushed the bicycle, lifted it through the large iron gate of the livestock station, and placed the bicycle in the yard.
"What is this for?"
Zhang Xiaoli was puzzled: "Didn't you say before that we go to the catering service club in the commune to have breakfast?
Most of the people at the animal husbandry station have not gone to work yet. What are we doing here?"
During this period, public office hours are from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.
As for what to say about vacation?
The livestock station needs someone to be on duty 24 hours a day. Someone is in the unit at all times, so you don't have to worry about not being able to find someone.
"Xiaoli, why don't you understand the ways of the world?"
Luo Xuan smiled and said: "Since there is a stockman today, he will take us to the countryside. Why don't we come to the unit first and ask him if he is here?"
If he is on duty here, then we have to call the master when we have breakfast."
Zhang Xiaoli blushed.
this time,
It was a rare opportunity for her to be alone with Luo Xuan. Zhang Xiaoli's original plan was to invite Luo Xuan to have a sumptuous breakfast together.
But I have no intention of inviting anyone else.
Moreover,
During this period, is it easy to get some "Jiangnei City Unified Food Stamps"?
Now, Luo Xuan actually wants to come to the livestock station to treat the livestock herder who is taking him and Luo Xuan to the countryside for internship today to have dinner?
Zhang Xiaoli is worried about whether the 8 taels of food stamps in her pocket are enough?
If the time comes and the difference is 1 tael or 2 tael, the catering service company will not sell steamed buns or porridge for myself.
That would be embarrassing.
There was no one in the yard of the animal husbandry station, so I didn't worry about losing anything.
The current social security is very good. At least in public units, there are basically not many people who dare to steal things inside.
Most of them are employees within the company, and they occasionally bring something home.
There is no one around.
Luo Xuan and Zhang Xiaoli just pushed open the animal husbandry and stood at the iron gate in such a grand manner.
Enter the unit.
"Is there anyone?"
Luo Xuan stood in the yard and asked. There was silence everywhere and no one answered.
Luo Xuan walked upstairs.
The livestock station in this commune has a large yard, except for a small store next to the iron gate.
The yard is very empty.
The second floor of a small building is used as the office of the livestock station and as a dormitory for employees when they are on duty.
Go up to the 2nd floor.
Luo Xuan gently pushed open the door of the first room with the sign "Duty Room".
A strong smell of smoke spurted out, and Zhang Xiaoli waved her hands to dispel the smell of inferior cigarettes, which was comparable to a concealed weapon.
Through the thick smoke, Luo Xuan saw three people lying on the desk in the duty room.
He slept soundly there.
On the desk, there is a long deck of cards arranged messily.
This kind of long card is also called Sichuan card, which is a unique leisure and entertainment tool in Bashu Province.
During this period, people were seriously lacking in recreational activities, so many people were very addicted to cards.
Seeing this situation, I thought that these three employees of the livestock station were on duty at the unit last night.
They played cards all night in the duty room.
These people play cards purely because they are addicted and want to waste time.
There may not necessarily be a monetary win or loss.
In addition to no money being won or lost, these guys' bets are varied: drinking peppercorn water, putting stickers on their faces, and eating dried chili peppers.
These things can all become chips for them to play cards.
Even the simplest corporal punishment will do: the loser can "squat", "kneel" or "stand".
You can also do leap frogs, push-ups, and golden roosters independently. The stakes are not the key, the key is to play with the cards.
"Excuse me, who is Teacher Gu Shenggu?"
Luo Xuan knocks on the door,
He woke up three employees from the animal husbandry station who were sleeping soundly: "We are students from the Jiangnei Technical Technical School sent to your unit for internship. Excuse me?"
"Oh, it turns out you are the students here for internship."
One of them stood up sleepily, "You guys came so early. I am Gu Sheng."
After saying that, Gu Sheng just stood there stunned.
His body swayed slightly, but he didn't say a word.
Good guy!
I stayed up all night, and Gu Sheng was confused.
"Ahem, Teacher Gu, we need your unit to issue us a certificate to prove that we have indeed come here and done the internship."
Luo Xuan reminded the other party: "Why don't you ask Teacher Gu to issue a certificate for us now?
Then we can go out to have breakfast together? By the time we finish eating, I’m afraid it’s time to go to work.”
"Ah? Let's have breakfast. Proof?"
Gu Sheng scratched his head,
As soon as he heard that breakfast was available, Gu Sheng gradually came back to his senses and said, "Oh, can we not issue a certificate? The official seal was locked in his desk by the webmaster.
He may need to go to the commune for a meeting today, and we can't wait for him, right?
Let’s do this, I’ll just call your school directly to prove that you’re here.”
Said,
Gudsheng grabbed the crank phone on his desk and cranked the phone handle quickly.
"Hello, post and telecommunications office? Pick me up from Jiangei City Vocational School."
Gu Sheng yelled at the phone: "Yes, pick me up from their duty room switchboard. I'll wait for you for a while."
After a while.
On the other end of the phone, there were also shouts: "Hello! This is Jiangnei Vocational School. Who are you?"
Gu Sheng crackled and told Luo Xuan and Zhang Xiaoli that they had arrived at the Baima Commune Animal Husbandry Station and told each other about the internship.
This proves that Luo Xuan and the others did not leave the company without permission and actually came to the unit for internship.
After completing this certificate,
Luo Xuan invited the three employees of the animal husbandry station present to go to the catering service club to have breakfast together.
When they filed out, Zhang Xiaoli, who was waiting in the corridor, was shocked!
So many people?
How can I have enough food stamps on me?!
This time,
Zhang Xiaoli's plan to treat Luo Xuan to breakfast alone came to nothing.
That’s 5 people!
Zhang Xiaoli really couldn't afford the 8 taels of food stamps in her pocket.
The three stockmen, who had been playing cards all night, walked in front, chatting and laughing.
Luo Xuan and Zhang Xiaoli followed closely behind.
While walking,
Zhang Xiaoli looked at Luo Xuan nervously, her heart aching for Luo Xuan: Inviting so many people to have breakfast.
How much money and food stamps will this cost?
You must know that during this period, ordinary employees in ordinary units seldom entertained each other.
Sometimes, when they go out to have dinner together, they will usually have a "even party".
Just because everyone's life is so tight, no one dares to lose his wife or children.
And come out to be generous.
I can’t afford to play!
Even if it is only 5 yuan, it is enough for a family to live on for several days.
Zhang Xiaoli vaguely felt that Luo Xuan might have a lot of money at hand.
Because of this guy, every time I order food in the school cafeteria, I always eat double portions: one meat and one vegetarian.
This is the only high-roller in the entire technical school.
But today Luo Xuan alone had to pay the bills of five people, which made Zhang Xiaoli still vaguely worried about him.
Therefore, as soon as she arrived at the catering service club, Zhang Xiaoli hurriedly jumped to the service desk and took out her only 8 taels of food stamps.
These 8 points of food stamps are definitely not enough for 5 people.
But at least it can help Luo Xuan and relieve some of the burden, right?
"Put your food stamps away."
Luo Xuan reached out from the counter and took back Zhang Xiaoli's 8 taels of food stamps. "The food stamps in my pocket are not 30 kilograms, but 20 kilograms. You don't have to worry."
"That's your business."
Unexpectedly, the Zhang Xiaoli in front of me is actually very stubborn!
She grabbed Luo Xuan's hands, opened his palms with force, and snatched back the eight taels of food stamps.
Then put it on the counter,
He said to the salesperson, "Comrade salesperson, please collect this food stamp first. If there is not enough left, this male comrade will make up for it."
Zhang Xiaoli’s strength is actually not small.
She snatched Luo Xuan's hand away, pressed it to her chest and pinched her palm.
Luo Xuan's arms and backs of hands were tightly pressed against Zhang Xiaoli, which was the private space for her future children...
This is Tuo Haili, and Miss Ye Wan, the upright touch is completely different.
Like a balloon filled with water.
Forget it, it's not against a woman's will.
Since Zhang Xiaoli is willing to share part of the financial pressure for herself, then let her do it!
Each person has a meat bun, a fried dough stick, and a bowl of white rice porridge.
This was the final cost of Luo Xuan’s dinner for everyone this morning: on average, each person spent 3 taels of food stamps.
Five people ate a total of one and a half kilograms of food stamps.
Excluding the 8 taels that Zhang Xiaoli put aside, she actually paid less than Zhang Xiaoli.
In fact, the three employees at the animal husbandry station are also very conscious. Otherwise, depending on their appetite, it would not be a problem for one person to eat 6 or 7 taels.
Now Luo Xuan and Zhang Xiaoli, two poor students, had to treat them to a meal, so these livestock workers consciously reduced their own food intake.
perhaps,
This is the ideological consciousness of people during this period: you can't take advantage of the public, either openly or privately, well, you probably can't.
As for personal advantages, you really cannot take advantage of them: if you eat more, others will eat less.
Everyone usually eats frugally. If you can eat until you are 70% full, you will never eat 80% full.
It's not easy for everyone.
If you open your belly and eat these two poor students in front of you.
How could those three livestock keepers tolerate it?
After dinner.
The stockman named Gu Sheng carried an incubator on his back and carried the medical kit on a bicycle equipped with his unit.
Then he took Luo Xuan and Zhang Xiaoli and went straight to a production brigade.
Along the way, Gudsheng gave Luo Xuan and the others a brief introduction to the general situation of this production team: "Today, we are going to give their production team a sow. Breed."
Gu Sheng said: "Next, there are 16 chickens, and Dan. Dan needs to be deleted. Oh, when the time comes, you can help me with the flashlight and be an assistant."
Luo Xuan nodded.
"Another point."
Gu Sheng lowered his voice, "As you know, if you raise too many chickens and ducks privately, it's not easy to shout about it."
"But, do you know the actual situation?"
Gu Sheng asked Luo Xuan cautiously: "If you can't see it, why are you digging a wall like this?"
Luo Xuan smiled slightly: "Teacher Gu, I also grew up in a rural area, so I understand the situation you are talking about.
When the time comes, you can just do your thing with peace of mind, and I will be your assistant and help you."
Gu Sheng heard this,
Then he felt relieved and said, "That's good, that's good. You don't know, last time in your school, a guy came to practice with me.
Damn it! He turned around and reported it to me. When I returned to work, our webmaster slapped his face on his face and gave me a slap in the face."
Luo Xuan smiled as he listened to Gu Sheng's complaints.
No conversation was made.
When Gu Sheng came out today, he just planned to help the members to capon the chickens.
What's this?
Just because during this period, generally speaking, members of the commune did not raise chickens or ducks.
But in fact,
Members have limited sources of cash, and the children go to school or buy stationery.
Or if your family buys salt, bean paste, etc., it costs more or less 30 to 50 cents. You have to have money, right?
Therefore, it is actually very, very common for members of the commune to raise some chickens and ducks at home.
after all,
The few egg-laying hens at home are what the members call their little deposit slips!
The members' usual pocket money, such as salt money, headache powder money, and match money, had to be dug out from the buttocks of hens.
But since the chickens and ducks raised by the members are private actions.
Therefore, once their poultry becomes sick or needs to be castrated, they cannot go to livestock herders like Gu Sheng for help through normal channels.
So,
This time Goode won, just to help the members.
As long as everyone knows about this kind of thing. And the reward he gets for helping the capon
