Reborn in 1977

Yang Ju drove the donkey cart to the shed, put the cart back in the warehouse, led the donkey to the pen, and hurried back home.

Soon after returning home, Yang Chuanfu was in the room, lying on his desk looking at documents. Hearing the movement, he immediately turned to look at her, "You're back."

Yang Ju nodded, walked in, took out a handful of money, along with several fen coins, and placed them on the desk. "Dad, this is the money we got from selling pottery today, divided by Teacher Chen."

"Divided money?"

Yang Chuanfu was stunned, first looking at the money, then at her, his brows furrowing immediately, "Tell me, what's going on?"

Yang Ju quickly explained Chen Fan's arrangements from before, and finally said, "According to the previous agreement, each of us four takes 10%. Today we sold a total of 515 yuan and 2 jiao, so my share is 51 yuan, 5 jiao, and 2 fen, all here."

At this moment, Aunt Yang also walked in, and was immediately stunned when she saw the money on the table. She quickly closed the door, pulled Yang Ju aside, and asked, "Where did you get so much money?"

She was in charge of the household money. The team's collective money was not kept at the team leader's house, but managed by the accountant Huang. Usually, Yang Chuanfu didn't have a penny in his hand, so this money was definitely not his. There were only two people here, so it could only have been brought back by Yang Ju.

Yang Ju briefly explained to her mother again.

Aunt Yang turned to look at the money on the table, her eyes filled with unconcealed surprise, "I heard people returning from the market say that Little Chen made a lot of money selling pottery today. I didn't expect it to be this much, and you even have a share."

Yang Chuanfu frowned, thought for a while, and said softly, "No, you can't accept this money."

He raised his head to look at Yang Ju, and said sternly, "Although it's a temporary cooperative, you five work together and share the money, which seems reasonable, but if he didn't know how to make pottery, no matter how much mud you knead, it's just mud. It can't be turned into pottery, let alone charcoal stoves or dinnerware sets.

You get paid according to how much work you do. Your value is worth at most three or five yuan, just a fraction. Ju'er, listen to Dad, return the money to him."

Aunt Yang's expression changed slightly. She looked at her husband, but kept her mouth shut and said nothing.

Yang Ju had thought of many possibilities, but she hadn't expected that her father would refuse to accept the money and even ask her to return it. She couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, "But Teacher Chen said that if we don't want this money, it would be putting him in an unjust position, exploiting our labor value. If that's the case, he won't fire the kiln anymore, so we didn't dare not listen and accepted the money."

Yang Chuanfu was slightly stunned, "He said that?"

Yang Ju nodded vigorously, "Yes, Huang Ying, Liu Dan, and Jiang Lili were all there. Teacher Chen said it when he called us for a meeting."

Hearing this, Yang Chuanfu was in a dilemma. He couldn't figure out the inside story.

At this moment, Yang Ju added, "After returning just now, Teacher Chen also said that making big money will only happen this once. In the future, the potters of the Victory Brigade will definitely learn to write on pottery like us, so even if there are more market days, he doesn't plan to sell too much. He'll just fire some ordinary bowls and plates. Even if they can be sold, they'll only earn a few dozen yuan, not as much as today."

Only then did Yang Chuanfu finally breathe a sigh of relief, "If it's only once, that's better."

Then he smiled and looked at Yang Ju and his wife, saying, "Even if you can only earn a few dozen yuan each time in the future, Ju'er can get three or five yuan each market day, which is like earning more than one yuan a day, almost catching up with the 37 yuan and 5 jiao of a junior college graduate after becoming a full-time employee. This job is worth doing."

Seeing her husband agree to accept the money, Aunt Yang finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then she looked at Yang Ju and said softly, "Don't just think about working. You have to interact more with Teacher Chen. Liu Dan is okay, but Huang Ying is much more flexible than you. Be careful she doesn't snatch him away."

Hearing her mother say this, Yang Ju immediately blushed, "Mom, just don't worry about it."

Yang Chuanfu leaned back, rested on the back of his chair, and laughed, "Haste makes waste. This kind of thing can't be rushed. You have to take it slowly. Besides, they are all still young. It's not too late in another two years. Cultivate your feelings first."

After a pause, he turned to look at Yang Ju and said softly, "Don't look at those people who married workers in the town. After they married, how many of them got town residency? In the end, they became illegal residents and even lost their work points in the village.

Relying on the mountain, the mountain will collapse; relying on the water, the water will dry up. Although Little Chen doesn't have town residency, he is very capable. As long as he gets a veterinarian certificate, he can get two shares of unified work points. Isn't his income higher than those ordinary workers? Moreover, he is a good cook and knows how to make pottery. He has a lot of side income in all aspects. Even if there is a disaster, he is not afraid of not finding food to eat.

I have carefully observed his character for more than a month, and there is absolutely no problem in all aspects. He is not the kind of unreliable, sloppy bastard. If you can follow him, it's better than marrying a cadre…"

Listening to her father's words, Yang Ju had already lowered her head, her face flushed, her eyes blurred, not knowing what she was thinking.

On the other side, the families of Huang Ying and Liu Dan were also similar.

It's just that compared to Yang Chuanfu, Accountant Liu had some small calculations, "Can only earn a lot of money once? That's really a pity."

He also pulled Liu Dan aside and carefully imparted his experience, "It's hard for a man to chase a woman, but easy for a woman to chase a man. Your mind is not as quick as those two, so simply think less and do more…"

And Huang Ying was also studying hard under the guidance of her parents and uncles.

…

The next day, March 7, 1977, the 18th day of the first lunar month, Monday.

At 9 o'clock, after finishing work in the morning, Chen Fan packed his things and went downstairs.

After an exam the day before yesterday, three people finally emerged victorious and obtained the qualification to enter the commune veterinary station training class.

Chen Fan himself certainly didn't need to be said. He had already memorized the veterinary textbooks by heart. A mere graduation exam paper, with only the theoretical part, could not possibly be difficult for him.

The remaining two places were taken by Yang Zhijun from Team 6 and Li Zhengqun from Team 11 respectively.

Yang Zhijun lived in Team 6, and if he encountered problems he didn't understand, he would run to the educated youth spot at night to ask for advice.

Chen Fan had promised Team Leader Yang to take special care of him, so he could only give him some extra help. Fortunately, this child worked hard, and finally lived up to expectations, ranking third in the class and taking the last place.

As for Li Zhengqun, he was truly gifted. After the initial few days of confusion, after Chen Fan explained the key points and basic principles of learning to them, he quickly got started and finally passed the exam on his own ability, ranking second in the class.

The remaining 10 people, although they failed to get a place to study, Zhou Station Master personally graded the papers and determined that they had all mastered the theoretical knowledge of the veterinary class. As long as they could persist in studying the practical lessons, they could become qualified veterinarians.

What he didn't know was that Chen Fan had already started practical learning with them half a month ago, so in fact, these 10 students were all qualified to get a veterinarian certificate.

Unfortunately, they still didn't have the chance to go to the commune veterinary station to study.

Chen Fan walked to the front yard, and all 12 students were actually there. Yang Zhijun and Li Zhengqun stood on one side, and the other 10 people stood beside them, their eyes full of envy.

He looked at the others and said sternly, "Although you can't go to the commune veterinary class to study, you can continue to learn veterinary techniques."

Then he turned to Yang Zhijun and Li Zhengqun and said, "You must study hard at the veterinary station. After you come back, teach the new knowledge you have learned to everyone. After they have learned it, they can solve some minor problems in their own team, which will also benefit you."

The two immediately nodded, "Understood."

At this time, Secretary Yang, Team Leader Zhang, Xiao Liewen, Ye Shubao, and Zhang Wenliang all came out.

Secretary Yang nodded, looked at everyone and said, "Teacher Chen is right. You are all members of a collective. You must be willing to share what you have learned and help everyone improve together. This is also learning from Comrade Lei Feng."

Team Leader Zhang continued, "Those who have passed the exam should not be proud, and should continue to work hard. Those who have not passed the exam should not be discouraged, and should continue to study hard with Teacher Chen. There will definitely be opportunities to pass the exam in the future. At the very least, learning a veterinary technique is only good for you, not bad. You must know what is good for you."

The students all nodded in unison, "Yes."

Seeing that Team Leader Xiao and the others didn't intend to speak, Chen Fan waved his hand, "Prepare to set off."

After speaking, he walked towards the horse in the corner of the yard.

The three of them all had their own "transportation". Yang Zhijun and Li Zhengqun rode mules provided by their respective teams, and Chen Fan naturally rode the mare he bought.

Although this horse was not trained as a riding horse, it was born to run fast, and it was still just an adult, so there was still a chance to correct it.

Later, I will ask Master Liu, who raised war horses, and Team Leader Xiao, who rode war horses, for advice, and maybe I can train it into a riding horse.
