Rebirth after the 1950s

“Except for the busy farming season, the members of the brigade work hard every day and don’t take the brigade’s sideline business seriously at all.

After we three educated youths arrived, the brigade cadres saw that the three of us could leave work early every day and handed in a lot of medicinal materials. They calculated the money we received in more than a month, and they must have understood in their hearts. It was still in the first two days. When the money was distributed, the team leader specifically mentioned this at the meeting. "

"How much did you pay, how much did those two educated youths pay?"

"Except for the 126.35% retained by the brigade, my sister distributed 22 yuan and [-] bills. I don't know how much Chen Enpeng and the others received, but I did some calculations and figured out how much they both got. Let each have half of me.”

"That's indeed a lot. Calculating it this way, it's about 30 yuan a month, which is better than a regular worker who has just started working."

"Next year there won't be so many. This year everyone knows about it and will definitely join in. By then, there won't be enough common medicinal materials on the roadside for everyone to grab. As for going up the mountain, everyone will only dare to do peripheral activities.

I made a rough estimate and found that from the beginning of spring to the heavy snowfall, it takes half a year. An adult can earn 80 or [-] yuan."

"That's a lot."

"Mianmian, we are not short of money, but we can't go into the mountains," the eldest brother said worriedly.

"Brother, don't worry, let's not talk about the outer periphery, let's talk about the middle periphery. There are also many medicinal materials that everyone doesn't know. Besides, the brigade only accepts the most basic ones. I want to collect the others, but I am afraid that something will happen. The brigade cadres only ask for Safe. So I took some of the more expensive medicinal materials to the county seat."

"That's good, but we can't sell too much together as it will make it easy for people to stare at it, you know?"

"Don't worry, my elder brother and sister are aware of it."

"That's good"

"Brother, we don't have fresh fish at home. If it's not the Chinese New Year, let's use salted fish."

"What do other people do?" asked the eldest brother

"Sister, you really know. Didn't we go to exchange meat on the 27th? I saw someone put fish in the snowdrift in the yard at one of the stores, but I only saw the tail of the fish, but I'm sure there hasn't been any in that store in recent days. Traveled far away"

"Then it can't be a gift from someone else."

"Brother, how is it possible? Who can come out in such a cold weather? Besides, a few days ago, when Seventh Grandpa's Gu Zhengyu, your comrade in arms, got married, there was fish on the table, and it was quite big? Do you know where it came from?"

“Where did you get it?”

"Their brothers smashed holes in the ice at night"

"Can this work?"

"It should be possible, otherwise we can't invite the whole village to dinner. There will be fish on every table."

"Then let's try it too. This way, when the time comes, you can freeze it and save it to eat later. Otherwise, you have been working for the past half a year and if you don't take advantage of the slack time, your body will not be able to bear it."

"Okay, if there are too many by then, you can feed them to Uncle Shen and Aunt Zhou later."

"talk later"

"Then when are we going?"

"Let's do it tomorrow night. I'll go out early tomorrow morning and see if it's suitable."

"Okay, do you want to call them two?"

"Call me, otherwise if you stew fish every day, they will be muttering in their hearts even if you don't say anything."

"Ok"

In order to have fish to eat on New Year's Eve, we wrapped ourselves up like bears on the night of 29 and set off to the place that Big Brother liked. In order to better smash the hole in the ice, we used everything we could, and finally broke it out. , put the backpack quickly.

I originally planned to use a fishing net, but my eldest brother said: "Keep this thing for yourself and use it secretly. It will be convenient when you want to eat fish, otherwise it will be broken before anyone gets it."

"Okay, so what do we use?"

"Just a backpack is fine. If you put a rope on it in advance, it should be fine."

"That's good"

Chen Enpeng and Chen Junjie didn't say anything, they just followed. They knew that following them would be beneficial. Besides, wasn't Brother Mianmian still there?They are still wearing military uniforms, so they will definitely not sell them both.

In this way, from 12 o'clock to 2 o'clock in the morning, we fished out more than 200 kilograms of fish?Moreover, the fish froze not long after landing. Fortunately, I took a nylon bag out for a few days when it came out.When I looked at the oldest one, I saw it weighed 20 pounds.

"It's getting late, go back quickly, put the fish in Mianmian's place first, and we will divide them tomorrow morning."

"Okay, no problem, Brother Shen." Chen Junjie was now familiar with his eldest brother, so he just called him Brother Shen.

It was almost 11 o'clock in the morning on New Year's Eve, and Chen Enpeng and Chen Enpeng just came over.

"Have you two eaten? You didn't wake up until now, did you?"

"We ate here," said Chen Enpeng

"That's good. Otherwise, we can make more and have lunch together."

"no need"

“Then let’s divide the fish.”

"How to divide"

"The average score"

"How about that"

"It's you and Brother Shen who have contributed. No, no."

"Yes, Mianmian, you have taken care of us a lot."

"That"

"Just follow what Mianmian said! He doesn't feel at ease with a girl in this house. She has two of your friends here, so our family can feel more at ease."

"Okay, Brother Shen"

"Then score it four points."

"Press three points"

"Four points, if it's three points then we won't want it."

"OK then"

Just like that, my eldest brother and I had nearly 100 kilograms between us. At this time, my eldest brother said: "We will celebrate New Year's Eve together tonight, so you two don't need to bring anything."

"How can this work"

"Why doesn't it work? Just listen to my brother, otherwise you won't call me Brother Shen."

"Okay, Brother Shen"

"But you two need to come over early to help, and prepare all the pots at home."

"Whatever I ask you to do when the time comes, do it."

"Okay, let's send it back first."

"Go ahead, come here quickly and follow the command."

"Okay, Chief Li"

"Mianmian, do you know where they are from?"

"Brother, why do you suddenly ask this?"

"These two look a bit like people I know, so I wanted to ask."

"Oh, so that's it. I know this. They both come from the same place, Jin City."

"Tsu City, I know."

"Is it a place?"

"Yes, brother, you might as well ask later during dinner, maybe that's it."

“You can ask”

Chen Junjie and the others will come back soon.Question: “What do we need both of us to do?”

"Can you two make dumplings?"

"will not"

"All right"

"Brother, please make dumplings. I've prepared the dumpling fillings and the noodles."

"Can"

"Which one of you will take care of these two fishes? One of you can take care of this chicken for me."

"I'll take care of the fish"

"Then I'll pack up the chickens"

"After cleaning up, tell me, go in and prepare other dishes."
