Reborn in 1977

After listening to Team Leader Yang's words, Chen Fan finally understood the sideline fee a bit and knew what was going on.

In short, as long as you don't delay normal work, no one will ask you for money if you earn some extra money in your spare time.

Although Chen Fan earned a lot of money, that was his ability and did not exceed the scope of the rules.

But if it delays work and affects the production team's production, it will indirectly affect the income of all team members, especially the public income. You must make up for your share of the work for the production team to make up for the losses of other team members and the public.

This can also be regarded as a manifestation of the collective cooperative system.

As for whether the fee is high or low, fair or not, that is a matter of opinion.

Those who pay the sideline fee think it is too much, while the team members who work think it is too little. There is no way to resolve the internal and external contradictions.

Team Leader Yang took two puffs of his cigarette, looked at Chen Fan who was thoughtful, and suddenly said softly, "You don't need to pay the sideline fee, but if you have money to spare, it's best to give the team some money, not too much, 5 or 10 yuan will do."

Chen Fan, who was thinking, raised his head to look at him, his eyes turned slightly, and he immediately reacted, "The money for buying mud?"

Team Leader Yang nodded, gave him a thumbs up, and said with a smile, "That's why I say you're smart."

After a pause, he explained, "Under normal circumstances, team members will not be charged for digging some mud or cutting down a few trees in the team, and no one will gossip."

Hearing this, Chen Fan thought silently, 'The first time I went to the market, I cut down a few mao bamboo, and you charged me 50 work points.'

Team Leader Yang didn't know what he was thinking and continued, "Don't misunderstand, no one is gossiping now. I'm telling you this as a precaution. It's better to be safe than sorry. If the commune's supervision team comes to inspect one day, and someone accidentally says the wrong thing, causing trouble, it won't be good for you either."

Chen Fan nodded immediately and said with a smile, "I understand."

Seeing that Team Leader Yang had finished smoking, he handed him another cigarette and said softly, "Is 10 yuan a bit too little?"

Team Leader Yang took the cigarette and lit it, and said with a smile, "What's too little? The team doesn't expect to get rich by selling mud. You only need two yuan for a cart of quicklime. This little mud can sell for two mao a cart at most. In my opinion, you can pay 5 yuan as a token. If someone really comes to inspect in the future, it will be enough to deal with it."

After a pause, he added, "Didn't you say when you broadcast the notice that the market will be restored on a fixed basis in the future? If you go to sell pottery at every market, you can pay 10 yuan each time, which is considered paying for the whole year. Collecting 10 yuan for a little mud is enough to dig up half a mountain, and no one can find fault with it."

Chen Fan nodded with a smile, "Okay, then I'll pay 10 yuan."

Team Leader Yang looked at him, "Are you really planning to sell pottery every month?"

Chen Fan shrugged and said with a smile, "Anyway, I'm idle. I'll make a few every day, burn a kiln every half month, and sell as much as I can. If I can't sell it one day, I won't burn it."

Team Leader Yang nodded, "That's okay too."

Then he looked at him with a smile, "However, your squatting toilet will probably be sold for a while. I just don't know if the potters of Victory Brigade can copy it."

Chen Fan was not worried about this kind of thing.

He said with a smile, "Even if he can copy it, does he know how to build a flushing toilet? Don't look at it as just a toilet, the inside is not simple. How to smooth the floor, how to determine the height difference, and the sewer and septic tank. If you don't understand these, even if you have a squatting toilet, you may not be able to flush the water down. If something goes wrong, it will be a waste of effort and you will be scolded to death."

Team Leader Yang laughed, "I knew you had a trick up your sleeve."

After a pause, he seemed to think of something, his face changed slightly, and he looked at Chen Fan and asked, "If the people in our team buy your squatting toilet, how much will you charge to repair the toilet?"

If building a toilet is not that simple, as Chen Fan said, then what else can be done except to continue to ask Chen Fan to build it?

But Chen Fan shook his head, "I won't charge a penny, and I'll even give it away."

Team Leader Yang looked at him in confusion, "What do you mean?"

Chen Fan said with a smile, "I don't have that much time to build toilets for people. When the first batch of squatting toilets is fired, when building the first toilet, you can choose a few people who are willing to learn how to build toilets, and I will teach them how to build this kind of flushing toilet."

Team Leader Yang was overjoyed and turned to face him, his eyes full of surprise, "Really?"

Although building a toilet is not a formal bricklayer, it also has some technical content. Nanhu Commune has one town and five production brigades, with thousands of households in total. There are also new houses built every year. If this kind of flushing toilet can be popularized, it is also a craft enough to support a family!

The construction team in the town does not have a toilet building service. The dormitories of the units in the town are all collective public toilets, which are not together with the houses. The new houses in the countryside are also digging a pit to build a dry toilet, which can save a lot of money. Professional toilet builders, can not say there are none, but they are indeed rare.

Chen Fan smiled, "Of course it's true, but I have a condition."

Team Leader Yang's face became serious, "Tell me."

Chen Fan, "The condition is that they can only buy squatting toilets from me when they build toilets for others, and people from Lujiawan all buy them for 10 yuan, but people from outside will be charged 12 yuan."

Chen Fan set two prices, which also originated from what Team Leader Yang said just now. He advised himself to pay 10 yuan to the team to deal with the commune's inspection, and Chen Fan thought of a deeper level.

At present, he is making money by burning pottery, and he can't hear any rumors in the production team. Even if someone is jealous, they are talking behind closed doors, at least not publicly.

But people will always change. If one day someone thinks that he is making too much money and doesn't have to pay a sideline fee, his eyes will turn red and spread rumors everywhere, what should he do?

So he thought of the method of price difference, so that people in his team who buy his things feel that they have taken advantage, so there will be much fewer people who are jealous.

As for teaching others how to build toilets, it is naturally to facilitate the promotion of squatting toilets. Otherwise, he would not have time to do any promotion, let alone be interested in providing after-sales service.

Conversely, helping the team build a "toilet construction team" can not only solve his "after-sales" problem, but also get a volunteer sales team, which is a win-win situation.

He thought it was good, and Team Leader Yang thought it was even better, and immediately agreed, "Okay, no problem, just do as you said!"

Saying that, he patted the sawdust on his body and stood up, "Have lunch here at noon. There are still preserved meat and fish at home, and I'll kill another chicken. I'll call Lao Liu and Lao Huang over for a drink together."

The places for the toilet construction team cannot all be left to the Yang family. The Liu family and the Huang family must also have them. No matter so much, find a few more people first, and learn the skills first.

Not to mention the secrets of building toilets, just Chen Fan's bricklaying skills the day before yesterday can be regarded as bricklaying skills. Such a good opportunity, can you not learn it? Even if you can't take the job of building houses like the construction team in the town, it's good to repair and patch up for yourself and your relatives.

In the future, the Yang, Liu, and Huang families will each send two or three people. If the business is bad in the future, they will take turns to go out to earn extra money. If the business is good, they will divide them into two or three teams. If they earn more, the team can also collect more sideline fees, which is convenient for both the public and the private.

Having received such great benefits, treating Chen Fan to a big drinking session was only right.

But Chen Fan waved his hand repeatedly, "I won't drink today. I'll come over and teach them how to build the toilet at your place next time, and then we'll drink."

He pointed towards the direction of the brigade headquarters and laughed, "Captain Ye asked me to check on the situation at the breeding farm this afternoon, and if I drink now, I won't be able to work this afternoon."

Captain Yang didn't insist on keeping him, nodding his head, "Alright, we'll save it for next time."

He raised his head again and laughed, "You must build mine first."

Chen Fan, "That's a must."

… …

Back at the educated youth spot, Jiang Lili and the others immediately packed up their textbooks to prepare lunch.

Chen Fan hadn't even reached his room when two puppies ran over, circling at his feet.

Now, both puppies were two months old. Because they were well-fed every day, they both weighed over ten pounds. Ballball was still Ballball, and Dodo had also grown into Ballball.

He bent down and picked up the two dogs, hefting them in his hands, and said, lifting them up, "You two are not good. If you continue like this, how will you guard the house, protect the yard, and hunt prey?"

Dodo was a small spotted dog, white with spots. One eye had a black spot above it, making it look like half a panda. Ballball was a chubby little yellow dog, named Ballball by Jiang Lili because it was so meaty.

As a result, Ballball was still Ballball, and Dodo had also become Ballball.

Chen Fan looked at these two most intelligent Chinese pastoral dogs in the world and couldn't help but complain, "Can't you guys look a bit more like purebred local dogs? Look at other people's dogs, they can chase chickens and ducks, they're capable of anything. All you two do is chase chicks, can't you be a little more ambitious?"

Dodo, "Woof, what is prey?"

Ballball, "Woof woof, why is chasing chicks unambitious?"

At the kitchen door, Jiang Lili, who was washing vegetables, couldn't help but shake her head and laugh at the scene.

Huang Ying came over carrying a fish, followed her gaze, and chuckled, "Teacher Chen is training the dogs again."

Liu Dan poked her head out upon hearing this, her eyes full of incomprehension, "I saw Uncle-Grandpa training dogs, and there were so many tricks to it. Can Teacher Chen train dogs like this?"

Yang Ju poured the washed rice into the large pot against the wall, put on the lid, then turned around to the stove to start the fire. She looked at Liu Dan at the door and smiled, "Teacher Chen isn't training the dogs, he's just teasing them."

Liu Dan turned her head, her eyes even more bewildered, "But, every time after Teacher Chen finishes training, the puppies do become more obedient."

Yang Ju was immediately speechless and couldn't help but shake her head in amazement.

Could it really be possible to train dogs just by talking to them?

Chen Fan held the two puppies up high, then moved them away, walking into the room and placing the two dogs on the table. He sat down to the side, saying with a serious face, "If you want to be a good dog, you must know how to obey orders, listen more, do more, talk less, and ask less. From today onwards, you will go out with me for training every day, and you must correct the bad habit of only chasing chicks."

Dodo and Ballball looked at each other, then jumped off the table together and ran outside, "Woof woof woof. (Yay, we can finally go out and play!)"

Chen Fan looked dejected, watching the two dogs frolic in the yard, inexplicably feeling like the Paw Patrol was on the move.

… …

After finishing lunch and taking a nap, Chen Fan prepared to go to work at the brigade headquarters.

First, he whistled by the back window, and by the time he went out to wash his face, the mare had already run into the yard waiting for him.

The foal followed behind, looking at him expectantly, as if saying, I want to go out and play too.

The two puppies had already run to the door, standing there, running out to look outside for a while, and running back in to look at him, busy as could be.

Chen Fan looked at the foal and snapped his fingers, "You come along too."

Then he jumped on the horse.

The mare snorted, carrying him outwards. The foal, having received permission, happily ran around him, almost stepping on Dodo, causing Dodo to bark at it repeatedly.

Unfortunately, they didn't speak the same language, and the foal didn't know what Dodo was scolding it for.

Chen Fan rode on the horse, with the foal and two dogs leading the way. Before long, even the falcon landed on his shoulder to join in the fun, leaving only the two little lambs pitifully in the backyard, bleating incessantly.

Not long after leaving the yard, a grass snake poked its head out from the roadside bushes, flicking its tongue at Chen Fan, as if to say hello. Then it timidly glanced at the falcon and decisively turned around and burrowed into the bushes.

Chen Fan noticed a large bulge in the middle of its belly, not knowing if it had eaten a rat or some unlucky sparrow.

It should be a rat. Anyway, after the grass snake stayed here for two days, no rats had been seen near the educated youth spot, making Chen Fan very glad that he had spared its life in the first place.

… …

Before long, they arrived at Team 5. Before even entering the woods on the side of Team 5, Zhang Wenliang popped out from some corner, shouting at him, "Are you running a circus, or are you delivering goods to the breeding farm?"

After walking a few steps closer, looking at the foal glaring at him, he scolded with a laugh, "If you keep looking at me, I'll keep you here as a stud."

The foal shook its head and decisively hid on the other side of its mother, separating itself from the gaze of a certain bad person.

The falcon also remembered that Zhang Wenliang didn't seem like a good person, and immediately spread its wings, flapping them twice and flying into the sky.

Only the two puppies looked at him expectantly, wondering if they had seen this person somewhere before.

Chen Fan chuckled, "You really are hated by horses and birds, only the dogs don't reject you. When the breeding farm is built, you have to stay away from it."

Zhang Wenliang stood in place, waiting for Chen Fan to approach, then smiled, "Then I'll have to disappoint you. After research and decision by the leaders of the brigade headquarters, I was appointed as the deputy director of the breeding farm, specifically responsible for the safety and security of the breeding farm, resolutely preventing sabotage elements from disrupting the production order of the breeding farm."

He put his hands on his hips, quite pleased, "So not only do I have to be closer to the breeding farm, but I also have to patrol there several times a day."

When he walked up to him, Chen Fan dismounted, holding the reins and walking with Zhang Wenliang towards the brigade headquarters, saying at the same time, "Then you have to be polite to the little animals, don't scare them before they grow up."

Zhang Wenliang curled his lips, "They definitely won't be afraid of me, they're probably afraid of you, the 'executioner' who specializes in killing rabbits."

Chen Fan smiled, "Then don't you eat rabbit meat?"

Zhang Wenliang, "I eat rabbit meat, but that has nothing to do with the rabbits being afraid of you."

After a pause, he said again, "The next market day is May 1st, right? Will you still help me make a pot of turtle meat then? But this time it won't be much, only forty or fifty pounds, and after this time, I probably won't need to do it anymore."

Chen Fan turned his head to look at him, "Why won't you do it anymore?"

They two cooperated, Zhang Wenliang provided the turtles and sold them, Chen Fan was responsible for cooking them, deducting the cost of oil, smoke, sauce, and turtle meat, and the profits earned were split equally between the two. Last time, Chen Fan got more than 30 yuan, not much, but not little either.

For a production team member, earning so much at once was quite good. Why did he say he wouldn't do it anymore?

As a result, Zhang Wenliang spread his hands, saying helplessly, "The big turtles are almost all dug up, the rest are just palm-sized turtle seedlings, how can we do it?"

Happy New Year!!!

I will update more next year, can you give me a monthly ticket? (`) 比心
