Reborn in 1977

After spurring his horse into a gallop, Chen Fan returned to the educated youth spot in less than ten minutes.

However, before he could even dismount, the mare seemed to hear the foal's cry, and neighing loudly, she charged towards the backyard like a madwoman.

Passing through the passageway and trampling over the vegetable garden, she headed straight for the pigpen where the foal and lambs were kept.

The foal, also hearing the mare's call, jumped up, placed its front hooves on the pigpen fence, and neighed incessantly.

Only when the two horses met, face to face, did the mare stop, and the foal ceased its cries, closing its eyes and quietly pressing its face against its mother's.

This was one of the most common ways for foals and mares to communicate.

Chen Fan wiped a handful of cold sweat, jumped off the horse, and looked back at the ravaged vegetable garden, his face full of speechlessness.

Forget it, what's the point of arguing with a horse.

He couldn't just kill it and eat horse meat, could he?

He walked over and opened the wooden gate, conveniently picking up the two naughty little lambs that were trying to sneak out, then turned to look at the mare.

Well, she had already turned in along the path, her rear end almost bumping into Chen Fan, tightly protecting the foal under her body.

Chen Fan closed the wooden gate, grabbed half a bundle of fodder from the hay pile on top, threw it into the trough, and then said to the mare, "First of all, no bullying the lambs."

The mare was happy and nodded thoughtlessly, not even thinking about what lambs were.

Chen Fan sighed helplessly, "Forget it, I'll make a deal with you tomorrow."

Then he untied the reins from the horse's mouth and jumped out.

The mare let him do as he pleased, only caring about lying in the hay with the foal, snuggling together, silently savoring the hard-won reunion.

Chen Fan walked to the front yard, first closed the gate, then returned to the room, washed his face, and changed his clothes before starting to count his gains for the day.

From the big black ten-yuan notes and the 'Great Unity' ten-yuan notes to the distinctive yellow one-fen paper bills, the total came to 621.5 yuan.

He had spent 100 yuan on buying the horse and 14.5 yuan on buying a small alarm clock, so today's total gain was 736 yuan.

His share was 60%, which was 441.6 yuan, and after deducting the 114.5 yuan already spent, he still had 327.1 yuan.

Chen Fan felt delighted as he took out his share of the money and put it away.

Then he hesitated, wondering if he was taking too much and leaving too little for the girls.

In reality, he hadn't done much of the work these past few days, digging mud, mixing clay, and making clay blanks were mostly done by the four girls.

All he did was provide technical guidance, occasionally make a few clay blanks, mix the glaze, and then be responsible for lighting the kiln.

The labor input was not proportional to the gains.

But as soon as this thought arose, he quickly shook his head.

No, no, that's not how it should be calculated.

As the saying goes, science and technology are the primary productive forces.

If he didn't know how to fire pottery, where would he earn these seven hundred yuan?

And the girls shouldn't think that they did all the work themselves, but got the least money.

Without his technology, they could only play with mud, and wouldn't earn a single penny, let alone earn more than 70 yuan in three days.

Thinking this way, Chen Fan felt much more at ease.

He also volunteered to help divide their shares, 73.6 yuan each, waiting for them to come back and check the accounts.

He didn't have to wait too long. Just as Chen Fan had put away the money, the courtyard door was pushed open, and Jiang Lili ran in first, followed by Master Liu and Yang Ju and the others in the cart.

Master Liu said "Whoa" and stopped the mule cart, jumped out of the cart and asked, "Where's the horse?"

Chen Fan pointed to the back, "In the stable, with the foal."

Master Liu was stunned, "Is she okay?"

Chen Fan deliberately clicked his tongue and shook his head, saying, "How could she be okay? As soon as she came back into the yard, she ran to the back like a madwoman, couldn't be stopped, and then she didn't make a sound, jumped into the pen and lay there motionless, protecting the foal, and I couldn't even touch her."

Master Liu laughed and said, "It's a mother's nature to protect her young. She probably heard the foal's voice, or smelled the scent, and would definitely rush over as soon as possible."

After a pause, he made a gesture, "I won't chat with you anymore, I'll go to the back and take a look. I haven't seen such a beautiful horse in years."

After speaking, he walked towards the backyard.

Chen Fan immediately rushed to the door, carefully looked around, and only when his figure turned in did he beckon to the four girls, "Come on, let's divide the money."

After speaking, he went to the next room.

After entering, Chen Fan made a gesture, "Yang Ju, go to the back window and watch. When Master Liu comes over, shout, Liu Dan, guard the door and watch the courtyard gate."

The two girls immediately responded, their hearts beating faster, feeling like they were participating in a secret operation.

After the two were in position, Chen Fan cleared his throat and said, "Today's total income is 736 yuan, so you can each get 73.6 yuan."

Hearing this number, even though Huang Ying and the others had already calculated it themselves, they couldn't help but jump for joy.

Huang Ying held her face in her hands, her eyes shining, "Wow, so much money!"

Liu Dan was so excited that her face was flushed, and she could only grin and laugh. Yang Ju wasn't much better, looking at Master Liu standing by the stable for a while, and then looking back at Chen Fan, unable to speak.

Only Jiang Lili was slightly better, but she was also happy from ear to ear.

Chen Fan handed each of them the four stacks of money that had been divided, looked at Huang Ying and the other two, and said with a smile, "I've already calculated it for you, the amount to report to the family is 51 yuan, 5 mao, and 2 fen, and you can keep the rest."

Then he looked at Jiang Lili, "This time, Little Jiang contributed the most, and I should have calculated a little more work points for you..."

Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Lili quickly waved her hand, "No, no, everyone is the same."

This time it was Huang Ying's turn to interrupt, she said solemnly, "Teacher Chen is right, Lili contributed the most, she should get more work points, Teacher Chen, you should recalculate."

Jiang Lili waved her hand again and again, "No need, no need."

Chen Fan made a gesture and said with a smile, "Don't worry, listen to me finish."

Then he looked at a few people, "Our business probably won't last long. Even if there is a market in the future, it is impossible to sell so many pottery pieces.

The pottery master from the Victory Brigade is not a pushover. I guess that next time he will write words on the pottery, so even if people want to buy it, they may not buy ours. Moreover, after today's batch, there probably won't be too many people who want to buy it later.

So before I can think of a better way, I don't plan to burn pottery to sell anymore. Even if I continue to burn pottery to sell, I will only burn some common bowls and plates, and the quantity will not be large. Compared with today, the harvest will definitely be much lower."

When the girls heard this, their faces couldn't help but become a little dim.

They finally found a way to make money, but listening to the teacher's words, it couldn't last long, so naturally they were unhappy.

Chen Fan turned to look at Jiang Lili and continued, "So, since this is only a one-time thing, I didn't calculate it very carefully. You just suffer a little loss. If there is a next time, you will calculate the work points according to the pottery blanks you each made, okay?"

Jiang Lili nodded without hesitation, "Okay."

Having received more than 70 yuan at once, she was already very satisfied. In fact, if Yang Ju and the others hadn't concealed their income from outsiders, she would have been a little worried. Under this mentality, she naturally had no objections.

Chen Fan smiled and said again, "However, I can't let you suffer too much. In this way, I'll give you a gift, which is a little bit of compensation for you, and also a little bit of my heart."

A gift?

Jiang Lili's eyes lit up. Compared to getting more money, she preferred to receive a gift from Chen Fan, even if it wasn't worth much money.

Huang Ying and the others looked at her and Chen Fan with envy, wanting to know what the gift was.

Under their gaze, Chen Fan took out a small alarm clock from his pocket and handed it to Jiang Lili with a smile, "Here."

This alarm clock was originally bought for himself?

No wonder he already had an alarm clock, but he still wanted to buy one just now.

Jiang Lili happily took it, looked at it in her hands again and again, and liked it very much.

After a pause of two seconds, she blushed and looked up at Chen Fan, then quickly lowered her head and said嬌声, "Thank you."
