I just want to fish in peace

Chapter 204 I have no money

The 35 households in the courtyard and the Fan family, young and old, gathered in the middle courtyard, and the whole courtyard meeting kicked off.

Guo Dacheng, the steward of the front yard, talked about Fan Meicheng and called on his neighbors to donate. He took the lead in donating ten yuan.

Liu Fugui, the manager of the Intermediate Court, is only a sixth-grade fitter, and his salary is less than that of Guo Dacheng. There are six people in his family, and he only donated eight yuan.

In Liu Fugui's view, Guo Dacheng is a seventh-level fitter with a monthly salary of 81 yuan. He only has a wife and no children. Guo Dacheng donates [-] yuan. His salary is less and there are more people in his family. Donating [-] yuan is enough. .

Zhang Youde, the steward of the backyard, is a teacher, and his monthly salary is only 36. One person’s salary can support seven people. He has no money, so he gritted his teeth and donated one piece.

Seeing that everyone was staring at him, Fang Yuan said, "I don't have any money left, so please donate an IOU."

He took out an IOU and handed it over without changing his face.

"Ping An, aren't you an intermediate engineer? How come you have no money?" Fan Meicheng's wife Liu Yan questioned.

"The mid-level engineer in the factory pays 150 yuan per month." Guo Dacheng muttered loudly.

"I remember that Ping An made a lot of money selling wild boars." A neighbor said to himself.

"Buying motorcycle parts, buying materials from the factory, and using the machinery and equipment in the factory, I paid for everything. I built a garage, workshop, and fence behind the house." Fang Yuan handled it with ease.

"I didn't expect Ping An to spend so much money during this time." Neighbors whispered to each other.

"Ping An, donate more?" Guo Dacheng felt unwilling.

"A ten-yuan IOU is already quite a lot. Steward Guo's monthly salary is 81 yuan, which is only used by two people. I have saved at least [-] yuan. I just started work not long ago, and I don't have a date yet," Fang Yuan said angrily.

A lot of money was spent today, Fangyuan only had thirty or so yuan left in his hand.

He has no idea of ​​donating next month's salary, nor the idea of ​​donating again next time.

He kept the thirty or so yuan left in his hand as a spare.

His family members are all martyrs, the house is his ancestral property, and the land behind the house was given to him by the factory.

Fang Yuan cares about whether the relationship between himself and his neighbors is harmonious, but he doesn't care too much.

Even if you offend all the neighbors, the big deal is not to go in and out through the main entrance in the future.

"Ten yuan is a lot, and the IOU is also money." Li Tiezhu said.

"My monthly salary is only 36 yuan, and ten yuan is equivalent to my salary for more than a week." Zhang Youde chimed in.

The donations from 35 households add up to a total of 170 yuan and [-] cents.

Going fishing together on weekends, Fang Yuan often sends fish to Zhang Youde and Li Tiezhu.

Sometimes two or three catties, sometimes four or five catties, it is normal for Li Tiezhu and Zhang Youde to help him speak.

From Fang Yuan's point of view, the neighbor's calculations and calculations have enriched his experience.

It's one thing to hear about it, another to experience it yourself.

Money or not, he doesn't care, he helps people with his heart, and he doesn't take anything away with his heart.

Seeing who is pleasing to the eye, Fang Yuan will not frown even if he gives away the money on his body.

He has no worries about food, clothing, housing and transportation, and he doesn't care about money in this world.

After the donation was over, the Fan family hosted more than [-] tables of banquets and sent Fan Meicheng away.

Get rid of bad habits and superstitions, don't allow them to be used as dojos, and the speed of burial is very fast.

The factory gave him a pension of 300 yuan, which was less than half of the normal pension.

Fan Meicheng only violated the factory regulations, and did not violate the law. After some consideration, the Fan family asked Liu Yan to take the post.

Dinggang means to replace a post, one radish and one pit, and the jobs in the Third Machinery Factory are very popular.

Liu Yan, who completed the entry procedures, became an apprentice in the first workshop, with a monthly salary of 18 yuan.

On Saturday morning, Fang Yuan rode a motorcycle and took Li Tiecheng and Zhang Youde to Donghu Lake for fishing.

His motorcycle is long enough to comfortably seat three adults, and it has a metal trunk at the rear.

The metal tail box is [-] centimeters long, [-] centimeters wide, and [-] centimeters high. It can hold a lot of things.

We went out to fish several times together, and Zhang Youde didn't have the idea of ​​grabbing the fishing spots anymore.

Using the bait made by Fangyuan did not yield much, so Zhang Youde had to use earthworms, corn, and wheat as bait.

Li Tiezhu went out to fish, he was a soy saucer, he was lucky, he caught a few crucian carp, but he was unlucky, and the harvest was zero.

Fangyuan, who has superb fishing skills, continues to fish silver carp.

After smoking bait for more than half an hour, the silver carp was finally attracted.

One after another, when it was close to eleven o'clock, Fangyuan closed the pole.

I went to the supply and marketing agency to sell the fish, left two silver carps, and gave one to Zhang Youde.

At noon Li Tiezhu cooks, Li Tiezhu serves wine and condiments, Fang Yuan eats with a smile on his face.

A silver carp weighing fifteen to six catties was completely eaten by them.

People in this era are very good at eating. Li Tiezhu probably ate more than four catties, and the rest went into Fangyuan's stomach.

"Peace, are you still going fishing?"

"I won't go in the afternoon."

"What about tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow morning."

"Okay, go fishing tomorrow, call me."

After leaving the courtyard, Fangyuan went up the mountain to hunt a wild boar and sold it for more than 200 yuan.

Building a car is more expensive, so he needs to prepare more.

Fangyuan, who came back from selling pigs, used the power of the five elements to change the structure of the house, and then strengthened the house again.

The living room has become larger, and the kitchen has been moved two meters to the back of the house.

The single-layer blue brick wall has become a double-layer, and a layer of metal has been added in the middle.

With nothing to do, Fangyuan replaced the pine bed at home with a wider and longer yellow wooden bed.

All kinds of solid wood furniture have been replaced, even if they are seen later, it doesn't matter.

In the entire NO.12 courtyard, except for the gate, only the back of his house can enter and exit.

Where did the furniture come from?Bought at the flea market.

When did you buy it?When did you buy it!
How come we haven't seen you shopping for furniture?Can't I go behind the house?
"The three kinds of rice in front of the door can be harvested in late summer, and the three kinds of rice behind the house can be matured in early autumn."

"Go fishing tomorrow, mainly crucian carp and carp. While the weather is not hot, catch more fish and put them in the fish pond."

After soaking in a hot bath, Fang Yuan fell asleep and woke up naturally.

After eating breakfast at home, I called Li Tiezhu and went fishing in East Lake.

I chose a suitable fishing spot, fished for more than three hours, and harvested more than [-] catties of fish in Fangyuan.

After returning to the house by bicycle, a carp weighing more than five catties was left behind, and the rest of the fish were all thrown into the fish pond.

I grabbed some pickled peppers, pickled ginger, and pickled radishes from home, together with the big carp, and handed them to Li Tiezhu.

"Li Tiezhu's cooking skills are far behind mine, but eating ready-made food is more comfortable than cooking by yourself."

When you go to Li Tiezhu's house for dinner, you don't need to wash dishes or clean up.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Youde came to the door and talked about cleaning the public area.

There are 36 households in the courtyard, and each household is responsible for the sanitation of the public area for a week.

Next week it will be Fangyuan's turn. Fangyuan, who doesn't want to sweep the floor, proposes that each household pay some money every month to hire someone to take care of the common areas in the courtyard.

Zhang Youde thought about it, and felt that this idea was very good, so he asked the other two stewards, and held a meeting of the whole courtyard again.

Each household pays 36 cents a month, and 18 households add up to [-] yuan.

The apprentices in the factory only pay 18 yuan per month. With such a high salary, many people in the courtyard are tempted.

Those who don’t have a job can earn 18 yuan a month by cleaning the courtyard house every day.

After discussing and discussing, fighting and fighting, there was no result for half an hour.

Impatient Fang Yuan proposed: "If you are willing to pay, [-] cents per month, you don't need to clean."

"I agree." Zhang Youde nodded.

"I agree." Everyone agreed one by one.

Fang Yuan paid fifty cents, turned around and went back to the backyard.

Those who paid the money left with their families one after another.

Thirteen households want to take care of the sanitation in the courtyard, and no one wants to be the first.

After a discussion, the three stewards decided on the order of cleaning. If there is no one on the wheel this month, each household will pay 17 cents, and the house that cleans this month will receive [-] yuan and [-] cents for cleaning.
