Chapter 150: No Three No Four
It is completely different from two thousand years later. At this time, rural people are extremely envious of city people. They all yearn to live in the city, work in factories, and have a fixed household registration to become a public family.
Seeing that her little aunt didn't care about the work she was doing, Xiu'er thought that she was in the midst of blessings and didn't know how to be blessed, so she interrupted.
"Little aunt, twenty-eight yuan and eighty cents a month is a lot, and there is a shed to block the sun where you work!
We work under the bright sun, and it only costs about ten yuan a month."
Zhang Huifen said, “Of course rural people are suffering more, much more than me!
If the leaders of our unit have the ability to send people who don't work hard to farm in the countryside, I believe that in just three days, no one in the unit would dare to go around!"
This is true, the results will definitely be immediate, but who is so awesome?
Zhang Fangfen said, "If you have this power, you must have an upright official like 'Bao Gong', otherwise you will definitely rebel against heaven."
Zhang Huifen said, "Sister is absolutely right. If you want to say bad things, how bad can ordinary workers be? Who led to bad morale?"
Seeing that his sister was getting more and more outrageous, Zhang Yugen stopped him and said, "Don't talk nonsense! You must never say such things in the future! The boss is really targeting you. With your careless work attitude, how can they not fix you?"
Zhang Huifen said, "I'm just complaining in front of you. People outside say that the leaders are good and that they care about the grassroots employees!"
Zhang Fangfen laughed and said, "Haha, that's what it should be said, it's not illegal to coax someone to death! Why are mosquitoes beaten with fans? It's because their mouths hurt people!"
Zhang Yugen said, "That makes sense, Huifen, you usually talk a lot, so you must learn to behave and don't talk nonsense regardless of the occasion and no matter who you meet."
"I don't have any! I work alone in the shed, and no one listens to me when I want to talk! I went to help Xiuer put up the mosquito net."
In front of her brothers and sisters, Zhang Huifen, who was nearly forty years old, was always the one being scolded, so she found an excuse to run away.
At half past four, Zhang Fangfen ordered a large bowl of noodles, using pickled cabbage and fish soup. The noodle bowl contained half a catty of leftover "pig gongzui" from lunch.
This noodle is so fragrant and rich in oil and water. Zhang Yugen ate it deliciously and praised it full of praise.
When returning, Zhang Fangfen asked Zhang Yugen for money to take a bus on the way, so that he could save more than half the distance.
But Zhang Yugen refused, saying that he was too full and needed to walk to eat.
He also told Zhang Fangfen that if the family had to do big things, money would be tight, so there was no need to pay Xiuer monthly wages, as long as she had food and a place to live.
Huang Han had long instilled in Huang Daozhou and Zhang Fangfen the concept of paying labor on time. Even though the family was short of money, they did not shortchange Fang Guilan and Zhang Fangfen's wages.
Zhang Fangfen said, "Brother, go back and tell your sister-in-law that Xiu'er is here. She will eat whatever I have to eat. No matter whether my family can make money or not, I will give Xiu'er thirty yuan on time every month."
Because Zhang Fangfen looked down on illiterate people, she wanted to find someone who was knowledgeable and courteous.
At that time, there were very few scholars in rural areas, and those who were educated were basically small-time cadres, and they looked down upon Zhang Fangfen, who was not a good person.
Zhang Fangfen was unable to achieve high or low standards, so she got married late.
Zhang Yugen got married early, and his sister-in-law and sister-in-law lived together for more than ten years.
Sister-in-law Ge Lanying is heartless and nags all day long. She really defaults on Xiuer's wages. Zhang Yugen can be annoyed by Ge Lanying to death.
Hearing what his sister said, Zhang Yugen certainly understood. He said
"Your family's life is getting better, and my family's life is also looking forward to it. Yesterday in the brigade, I heard that the superiors are planning to allocate the fields to each household. If you really don't have to work to farm by yourself, I can come to help during the slack time in the future!"
"Divide the fields? Haha, didn't we divide the fields when we were just liberated?"
"That's right! Alas! It's a good thing to distribute farmland to each household, but I'm afraid the policy will change after a few days!"
"Huang Han said that the country will get better and better, and policies will not change in a bad direction, but will only get better!"
"Hey, obediently, how can he, a primary school student, say such a thing?"
"Don't underestimate Huang Han. He has become much smarter after he regained consciousness. Now he often reads newspapers. In order to open a store at home, he even went to the top official in our county to inquire about policies."
"No, Huang Han knows the top leaders in our county?"
"He actually knows her and even talked to her!"
"This, this, I don't believe it!"
"Don't believe it, the daughter of the top leader in the county is a classmate of Huang Han. They get along well and even learn piano together with Teacher Qiu!"
"What to study?"
"piano!"
"Piano? What kind of piano is that? Is it made of steel?"
"Haha, I haven't seen it either. Huang Han said that it is similar to a large organ that is pedaled by a foot, but it is more advanced!"
"Oh! It's that kind of thing! Fangfen, Huang Xin, and Huang Han all have good grades and should all be able to go to college. Alas! Of the six children in my family, the fifth has only been in high school for one year and is not well developed!"
"That's not necessarily the case. I could open a restaurant. How dare you think about it a year or two ago? Six children are not stupid, and they might be able to make a big comeback!"
Zhang Fangfen's eyes turned red when she said this, and Zhang Yugen also felt sad.
They both thought of the "big turn over" and how their mother, who had been bedridden for two or three years, was in great pain before she died. She always kept saying, "Please give me a hand, I want to make a big turn over."
Later, the Zhang family really "turned around" and their four sons became famous far and wide.
Except for the second child, who earned a lot of money from being a member of the construction team, the factory jointly run by the other three brothers had an output value of tens of millions in the early 1990s, and its profits and taxes ranked among the top ten in the county. They were much better than Huang Han.
Zhang Fangfen always said that it was her dead mother-in-law who blessed her grandson with a "great turnaround."
However, my uncle was even more pitiful than Huang Daozhou. He fell ill and died just before his family started its "big turnaround."
He is the same age as Huang Daozhou, and his life span is several years shorter than that of Huang Daozhou.
That is to say, because the family no longer has Zhang Yugen, a supportive parent, only the illiterate Ge Lanying who can't handle things and loves nagging is left. After getting rich, two of the four brothers swelled.
In the early days of reform and opening up, it was really not difficult to get rich as long as you were bold and willing to work hard. After two thousand years, getting rich is no longer a matter of "neither three nor four".
There are even too many "neither" people who have made a fortune because they didn't know their parents' last names after they got the money, so they lost it and squandered it.
The quality of the "neither three nor four" rich man is too poor. He eats, drinks, whores, gambles and supports his mistress. He really lives up to the saying "watch him build a tall building, watch him entertain guests, watch his building collapse!"
Zhang Yugen said sadly, "We are going to make a 'big turn'! If this continues, there will be nothing excessive."
"Well! I believe what Huang Han said, I believe that the country will no longer engage in sports, and I believe that life will get better and better!"
Zhang Yugen nodded and said, "I believe it too! My family's life this year will definitely be twice as good as last year! You can go back! No need to send it! If we are short of manpower, ask Station Master Qian to bring a letter, and I will come to help the next day!"
"Yes! Yes! I know. You walk slower and come back in two days. I will go to the movies with you!"
"I like to watch movies the most. Your hotel is only a few steps away from the cinema, and you have a place to stay. I will definitely come if I have time."
“Don’t be in a hurry when you come, stay for a few days!”
"Well! You go back, I'm leaving!"
