Next comes the step of signing the contract and paying.

This session takes a total of fifteen minutes.

The drafting of the contract has obvious characteristics of the times, and is far less detailed than those of later generations. Compared with the seamless contracts of later generations, the contract at this time is just a rough outline.

Jiang Yu read the contract and signed it, then counted the money and put it in his pocket.

In the days when there were no hundred-yuan bills, four thousand five hundred yuan was not a small amount. It was still a bulging bag to put in your pocket. Fortunately, there was a military coat to cover it.

"Does your factory have any idle lathes or something like that? I want to process something."

"Whatever you want to process, just follow me. The beds in the workshop are more than half empty."

Director Tang from the mechanical processing workshop took Jiang Yu into the processing workshop.

It's not that no one is working in the workshop, but there are very few machine tools that are making any noise. Almost all the workers, male and female, are warming themselves around the stove that was converted from an oil drum in the workshop.

This shows the current operating conditions of the machinery factory.

"What do you want to process? How much material do you want?"

"I just want to make a small toy for my brother. I just need leftover materials and don't have to go looking for them."

"There are scraps everywhere in the workshop, you can look for them yourself."

Jiang Yu found a piece of scrap metal two centimeters thick, fifteen centimeters long and ten centimeters wide from where scraps were piled in the workshop.

In the next hour or so, Jiang Yu played with everything from the planer to the lathe to the drilling machine.

Director Tang looked at Jiang Yu's final product and was full of praise.

"I didn't expect that you are so familiar with these machine tools at such a young age, and your skills are very high. It shouldn't be a big problem for you to be rated as a level six craftsman at your level."

Jiang Yu joined this machinery factory as an apprentice for three years after being demobilized in his previous life, and worked here for another five years after becoming an apprentice in 1989.

Around 1995, the factory finally couldn't support it anymore, and he was laid off. He bought an old machine tool to process some screws and bolts for others, and eventually it evolved into a small processing factory.

In terms of technology, he is really a good hand.

Jiang Yu stuffed a box of 45 cents worth of Caohai cigarettes into Director Tang's pocket.

In the future, I might go to the machine shop often to process some messy things, so it wouldn't be a bad thing to have a friendly relationship with the director of the processing workshop.

Jiang Yu and An Minghai left the machinery factory after saying goodbye.

It's almost three o'clock in the afternoon.

In winter, the days are short and the nights are long. It is only more than an hour before dark. There is no time to buy anything else. It is better to go home quickly.

Jiang Yu rode out of the commune and turned on the road home.

This time he did not plan to take the road between Jianshan and Hongdao Commune. Instead, he took the national highway and went straight to Sha Tu Commune in the other direction. Then he crossed the Yanshui River from Liangshuiwan Village in Sha Tu Commune and went directly to Huangling. Village.

Although the routes are similar, this route is about five miles of national highway and only three miles of dirt road, which is obviously flat and easier to walk.

Even if it is a national highway, it is still a sandy dirt road, just wider and smoother than a rural road.

In 1985, there were very few vehicles on the highway. It took half a day to see a car.

Jiang Yu thought he could ride a bicycle and do whatever he wanted on the avenue, but when he reached Zhao's store, he was blocked by a group of young people.

Different from Jiang Yu's arrogance while riding his bike, these ten young people formed a long snake formation on the road, blocking the national highway more than ten meters wide.

This is much more arrogant than him riding a bike.

Jiang Yu rang the car bell fiercely.

I don't want to cause trouble if I ring the car bell.

A young man who walked to the middle of the national highway glanced at Jiang Yu for a few times, then suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed at Jiang Yu: "Come down!"

Jiang Yu got out of the car with a confused look on his face. He couldn't get out of the car. If they didn't give way, he couldn't hit him.

"Brother! Isn't it good for you to block the road like this?"

The young man who asked Jiang Yu to come down came to Jiang Yu and smiled sinisterly.

Jiang Yu must have met this person not long ago, but he didn't remember who he was.

After all, he was demobilized, and his mental state was significantly different from that in the army. If he was in the army, he could clearly remember everyone and things he saw in half a month.

"Aren't you that Jiang Yu from Huangling Village?"

Jiang Yu was a little surprised: "You know me?"

"Of course I do, why don't you recognize me?"

Jiang Yu shook his head: "I have an impression, but I can't remember who you are."

The man took off his hat, revealing a shiny bald head.

Looking at this bald head, Jiang Yu immediately thought of the other person. Isn't this the silly guy?

Jiang Yu's lips curved into a smile.

"Don't laugh!" Shaque shouted immediately when he saw Jiang Yu wanted to laugh.

"Okay, I won't laugh! Bald brother! What do you think about shaving your head in this winter? Your idea is really unique and original."

The bald man is also feeling aggrieved. He is willing to shave his head in the middle of winter! Isn’t this a lost bet?

"Bald brother! It's almost dark today, and I'm still in a hurry. Can you guys make way for me?"

"Give way! Okay, keep the money to buy the way!"

Hold the grass! This guy is blocking the road and asking for money!

"Brother Bald! Your slogan is wrong! You should say this: I drive this road and plant this tree. I want to pass by this way and leave the money to buy the road. This way the robbery will appear more formal."

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and get the money."

"This is a national highway, not driven by you. Asking for money is tantamount to robbery."

"Hmph! I was very unhappy with you that day at the market. If Brother Five hadn't said anything, I would have slapped you and left you ten dollars to go away!"

Now Jiang Yu has a huge sum of money with him, but it is absolutely impossible to give them ten yuan.

Why should I leave ten yuan for you? Why should I give it to you?

"That's right! It's not ten yuan in total, it's ten yuan per person."

The bald man has gone too far.

"What if I don't have any money?"

"Then I'll beat you!"

In the 1980s and 1990s, young people in society rarely needed any reason to hit someone. They could just do it if they didn't like you.

It will still happen even if there is severe punishment.

Jiang Yu is no stranger to this phenomenon. In his previous life, after he was demobilized, he had several conflicts with gangsters in society, but in the later period, no one bothered him anymore.

Without him, no one can beat him.

His fists and feet are no match for him, and they are even less capable of moving. The most important thing is that he will basically paralyze the opponent with one strike. Several people will be knocked down in the blink of an eye. How can we fight this battle?

It seems that this trouble is inevitable now.

"Then what do you want? I don't have any money. If you want to do it, hurry up. I'm in a hurry to go home."
