Siheyuan: I Raised Ten Thousand Wild Boars

Han Wenlong, who was at the front of the line, ordered four steamed buns and a serving of braised pork without saying a word.

"It smells so good. Guohua, let me tell you, there aren't many opportunities to eat braised pork in the factory, so you must seize it."

Like Li Guohua, Han Wenlong was assigned to the company as a technical secondary school student and his salary as a level 15 technician is also 42.5 yuan.

There are four people in his family, including his parents and a younger brother. Both of his parents are working, so he has no burden at all. As soon as he prepared the meal, he immediately came to remind Li Guohua.

That’s right. Although we haven’t reached a difficult period yet, under the planned economy, everything has to give way to heavy industry, and it is impossible to have freedom in eating meat.

Huang Deming and Wang Wancheng are not so good. They started as technician assistants at the bottom and worked their way up step by step, from the lowest salary of 18 yuan for level 27.5 to 14 yuan for level 48.5.

Although the salary is not low, the pressure of life is still very high.

Huang Deming's mother and wife are both unemployed, and they have two children to support. Wang Wancheng's family is even bigger, with both parents and four children, the youngest of whom is still breastfeeding. Fortunately, his wife has a job and can help a lot.

The two of them walked to the window silently and ordered two steamed buns and mixed shredded potatoes and mixed radishes.

Chef Cao Daguo made a plate of scrambled eggs. His salary was higher than several others, so he had no pressure at all to eat the scrambled eggs.

Tian Songlin asked for two steamed buns and a portion of tofu and cabbage. His family was from a rural area in the suburbs, and he was recommended by the commune to work in the factory after Li Guohua got into trouble. Wang Li saw that he was a junior high school graduate and had a good education, and the third group was short of people, so he used him to get rid of Cao Daguo.

Tian Songlin now earns 18 yuan as an assistant technician at level 27.5. In addition to his parents, he also has younger brothers and sisters at home, and his conditions are not very good.

Li Guohua was also tempted by the braised pork, so he ordered 4 liang of rice and a portion of braised pork. This was a habit. He was from the south in his previous life, and if he didn't eat some rice at noon, he would feel that his stomach would not be full.

After getting the meal, they came to the table where the third group was sitting. Han Wenlong had already eaten half of his braised pork, and his mouth was full of oil.

At this moment, Li Guohua felt his hands trembling a little. He put down the lunch box and showed off to him face to face.

The two men's eating manners as if they were nobody caused the female workers in the cafeteria to secretly point and laugh at them.

"Hey, Han boy, you eat like this, people who don't know would think your dad is starving you!"

A middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a white shirt and also holding a lunch box in his hand, walked over with a smile.

"Hello, Director Zheng!"

Everyone stood up to greet them, including Han Wenlong who was showing off his hunks.

Li Guohua had just stuffed a piece of meat into his mouth when he was confused by the actions of others. He thought some important leader had arrived.

Before he could swallow the meat in his mouth, he stood up in a hurry, ready to cooperate with everyone. Although this is an innocent age, humans are also complex creatures. Don't offend others as a newcomer.

"Hahaha, little comrade, don't be in a hurry to eat. Chew slowly and it's good for your stomach." Director Zheng couldn't help laughing when he saw Li Guohua's silly look.

Li Guohua is shy and feels a little embarrassed when he hears that.

"Uncle Zheng, you are a big leader, can you please not come over here? Look at everyone, they are not comfortable eating!" Han Wenlong complained.

Just now everyone was chatting and laughing, eating their own food, which was so exciting. After Zheng Aimin came, the people around them ate much quieter, and became so elegant.

"What do you know? This is called leading by example. What's wrong with the leader? Can't the leader come and queue up for food?" Zheng Aimin said unhappily.

"Yes, yes, you understand the people's feelings!"

When Han Wenlong heard Zheng Aimin's words, he couldn't help but roll his eyes and showed disapproval.

Li Guohua understood after seeing this. The two men were familiar with each other. Didn’t he notice that the others were all terrified, only this boy looked unconvinced.

From the conversation between several people, we learned that Director Zheng was named Zheng Aimin and was the logistics director of the textile factory.

I was a little curious, why didn't the textile factory have a canteen? The logistics director had to go to the lobby to get food. Compared with Director Li of the steel mill, he was really down and out.

Because it was his first day at work after the injury, the official start time was actually tomorrow. In the afternoon, Li Guohua said goodbye to Cao Daguo and left early, saying he felt a little unwell.

Now that the job at the textile factory has been secured, the focus should shift to my own golden finger, which is the hope of myself and my family for the next few years.

The small world is still empty now, so he needs to find some crops to plant. He had already inquired last night, and now if he wants to buy seeds, he must go to the supply and marketing cooperative or the grain bureau.

If you buy seeds, you must also have a seed ticket. Where can you get this? Even if you buy it from someone, you don’t have the money.

Fortunately, the grain crops at this time have not yet been genetically modified, and basically all of them can be used as seeds after being harvested, which is very good.

He had already made up his mind that when he had nothing to do, he would go around the surrounding area and secretly collect some rice, wheat, and cabbage if he came across them.

You can also get some pear trees and fruit tree seedlings. Anyway, your own little world is pretty big.

Isn’t the opportunity here today?

July is the wheat harvest season. Outside the textile factory, the fields are golden everywhere.

The entire eastern suburbs of the capital had not yet developed at that time. The textile factory was actually built on the fields.

Li Guohua walked on the road, his eyes constantly glancing at the wheat on both sides of the road, stopping from time to time.

Whenever he looked at an ear of wheat, there would be a little less wheat.

This is the ability of his small world, which can collect items through the air, with an effective distance of about ten meters.

"Comrade, is there something wrong?" A young man with a rifle on his back ran over from a distance and asked.

He was a member of the militia from a nearby commune, responsible for guarding this wheat field.

Seeing Li Guohua hesitating here, he would have pointed a gun at him if he hadn't been wearing a textile factory uniform.

"Hello! My name is Li Guohua, a technician at a textile factory. I am from the countryside as well, and when I was a kid I often worked in the fields with him. Seeing this golden field fills me with joy, and I can't get enough of it!"

Seeing the young man coming over, Li Guohua smiled and took out the remaining cigarettes in his pack and gave one to the young man.

"You're welcome. My name is Zhang Zhiwu, and I'm a militiaman from Hewan Commune. If you say that I'm filled with joy at seeing these golden wheat fields, I believe you, because I like to see them, too.

We ordinary people work all year round for this harvest season, don’t we?" Zhang Zhiwu took the cigarette a little stiffly and said with a smile

When I heard that the other party was a technician in a textile factory, I felt even more envious.

They worked hard all year round, and all their work was calculated based on work points. A strong man got 10 work points a day, a woman only got 8 points, and children got even less. At the end of the year, the commune would distribute the surplus to everyone, but the canteen meals would be deducted.

In the end, they didn't get much at all. A better family could get a big black ten with a white border. Those with more people in the family and less work might even owe the commune money at the end of the year.

Everyone knew that they would be admitted to the textile factory, get a rationed household registration, and get a high salary. A few months ago, the textile factory was recruiting workers, and their commune was trying hard to get in. In the end, only three people were recommended by the commune.

"Yes, if you plant a grain of millet in spring, you will harvest ten thousand seeds!" Li Guohua pretended to be very impressed and added a literary remark.

"By the way, does your commune only grow wheat and not rice?" Li Guohua asked curiously.

I thought since I was going to grab them anyway, I might as well grab them all at once.

"Yes, of course there are some. They are all in the south! It's close to the river and convenient for getting water!" Zhang Zhiwu said, pointing to the south. Looking from a distance, there was indeed a small green area.
