A Journey Through the Worlds of Film and Television

The next day, Lu Cheng rushed to the black market early and met the man he had traded with before. He sold 20 small yellow croakers and earned 3,600 yuan in cash.

The fact that the other party could easily take out so much cash showed the financial strength of the person behind him.

After getting this money, Lu Cheng bought two or three different sets of clothes in the next few days, dressed up in different ways, bought tickets and supplies from the black market, and spent the tickets and money in the grain and oil store to exchange for supplies.

Rice, white flour, cornmeal, lard, soybean oil, peanut oil, salt, MSG, seasonings, brown sugar, white sugar, fruit candy, pork, mutton, chicken, duck and fish, all kinds of supplies were stored.

Fourteen cubic meters of space is equivalent to a seven-square-meter small room with a height of two meters, which is enough to hold a lot of things.

Not only that, Lu Cheng also took the time to buy some sesame cakes, fried dough sticks, and hot buns, and stored them in the storage space for emergency use.

With money, food, and guns in hand, he naturally did not panic.

A few days later, Lu Cheng went to Xinhua Bookstore again and directly bought ten sets of "Self-study Series of Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry", of which five sets were put into the storage space, and the other five sets were taken to the Li family.

While the whole family of the Li family was at dinner, Lu Cheng put five sets of "Self-study Series of Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry" on the table.

"Aunt, Kuiyong, Kuiyuan, Kuiwei... these books are for you. Aren't you idle at home? It's a good time to read and study."

Li Kuiyong looked at the nearly 100 brand new books on the table and was a little surprised: "Brother Cheng, this set of books costs more than ten yuan, and five sets of books cost sixty or seventy yuan. How can you bear to spend so much money on these books?"

"Isn't it for you to learn more knowledge? Don't look at those sons and daughters of the compound wandering around the streets like you all day, but when they return home, they will be asked by their parents to study. Because their parents know that only by reading books and learning knowledge can they change their destiny in the future."

Li Kuiyuan still didn't understand: "Aren't classes suspended now? Do we still have to study?"

"Haven't you heard that saying? Learn math, physics and chemistry, and you won't be afraid to travel around the world. Learn knowledge in your mind and you can use it wherever you go. Moreover, there is no Without knowledge and culture, you can only rely on physical labor for your whole life. Look at those who work in offices, those who engage in technology, and those who make a lot of money. Which one of them is not educated?

Two of the old friends who came to the city with my third uncle-in-law later worked in factories because they were educated. My third uncle-in-law and his friends suffered from lack of education and worked hard all their lives, and they worked themselves to death. "

After hearing this, my third aunt nodded immediately: "Your cousin is right, you should listen to him. What can you achieve by running out and fooling around all day? It is better to stay at home honestly, read some books, learn some culture, and become a useful person in the future."

Li Kuiyong and his brothers nodded: "We listen to Brother Cheng."

The two little girls also nodded: "Cousin is right."

In fact, classes are not completely suspended at this time. Primary and secondary schools in some places are still in class. After November 1969, primary and secondary schools in various places will resume classes one after another.

Among the six children of the Li family, Li Kuiyong, Li Kuiwei, and Li Kuiyuan are all junior and senior high school students, and the remaining three are still primary school students.

When the youngest two finish high school in the future, it will be after 1978, and they can directly take the college entrance examination.

The children are of different ages, and of course their learning levels are also different.

Lu Cheng checked their learning status separately. The eldest Li Kuiyong and the second Li Kuiwei are basically real academic scumbags, and they have long returned the knowledge they learned to the teacher.

The third child Li Kuiyuan is better, with a good memory and not much knowledge forgotten.

As for the other three, they are also ordinary, not smart, but not too stupid. If they are willing to study hard, they will have no problem getting into a junior college. If they work harder, they can also do better.

In the 1970s and 1980s, as long as they could get into school, their fate was basically changed.

After checking their learning status, Lu Cheng asked them to collect their textbooks, and made a study plan for each person individually, and asked Li Kuiyong to supervise their study.

Given the current situation of the Li family, at least two or three children will go to the countryside in the future. Each of them will take a set of "Self-Study Series of Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry" with them, and they will not stop studying even in the countryside.

When

Of course, Lu Cheng couldn't chase everyone and force them to study. Even if he could, he wouldn't do that.

Destiny is in everyone's own hands. The opportunity and direction are given to them. If they don't seize it, there's nothing to say.

After supervising their study and arranging study tasks for them, Lu Cheng returned home, put the fishing net into the storage space, and rode the second-hand bicycle that was pieced together out of the house.

As winter deepened, the weather became colder and colder. After a while, most rivers would begin to freeze, and it would be difficult to fish.

He rode out of the city and headed south for dozens of miles. He came to a deserted river. Lu Cheng turned on the detection system and began to search for fish schools under the water.

This river is relatively much larger, with a width of thirty or forty meters, and there are more fish in the water.

It was one or two o'clock in the afternoon, which was basically the highest temperature of the day, and the fish under the water were rarely active.

Lu Cheng searched around and soon found a group of relatively large fish. He cast a net and landed precisely above the group of fish.

Lu Cheng had played with casting nets a lot in his previous life, so his skills were still good. With the help of the system, he had a rich harvest in the first net, with silver carp and bighead carp weighing five or six kilograms, and carp weighing two or three kilograms, more than a dozen, weighing forty or fifty kilograms in total.

This efficiency is much better than fishing.

He put away the fishing net, stored all the fish, and immediately chose the next place to cast the net.

One net after another, at least ten or twenty kilograms of harvest each time, just like picking up fish.

In one afternoon, Lu Cheng didn't remember how many times he cast the net or how far he ran along the river, but he caught at least more than two thousand kilograms of fish.

In addition to the common silver carp, grass carp, carp, black carp, crucian carp, catfish, etc., there are also some black fish, tilapia, and even turtles, of many varieties and sizes.

After working all afternoon and smelling like fish, Lu Cheng packed up and went home.

After that, Lu Cheng borrowed a scale from his neighbor, and the next day he went to the black market to become "Gao Qiqiang", starting his career as a fish seller.

You need tickets to buy anything these days, including fish tickets or aquatic product tickets, and even feces tickets.

Moreover, there are not many fish available in the market, and fish tickets are also a relatively scarce ticket type. Ordinary people can only get fish tickets during the Spring Festival and buy fish.

Lu Cheng sold directly at the market price, and did not need tickets. He adhered to the principle of small profits but quick turnover and shipped quickly, because there was basically no cost anyway.

In order to avoid selling too much fish and attracting other people's attention, Lu Cheng even sold the fish in batches to some merchants on the black market at a low price and started a wholesale business.

A pound of fish sells for 40 to 50 cents, and 100 pounds of fish is 40 to 50 yuan, and the speed of income is quite fast...

Then the money from selling fish is exchanged for food and supplies. Not only did Lu Cheng's savings not decrease, but it gradually increased.

After the savings and supplies are sufficient, Lu Cheng is also considering future plans.

There are three ways in front of Lu Cheng:

First, find a way to find a job and stay in the city. When you take the college entrance examination in the future, you can join the unit, become an official, or do business in the 1980s.

Second, sign up to join the army.

Third, go to the countryside to join the production team, and you can also find a way to take the college entrance examination in the future, or you can not take the college entrance examination and start a business directly after the reform and opening up.

Joining the army was first ruled out by Lu Cheng. He has been a soldier for so many years and does not want to start from scratch. He is also subject to constraints and has a low degree of freedom.

As for staying in the city or going to the countryside, it may make a big difference for other young people, but it doesn't make much difference for Lu Cheng. No matter where he goes, he can get along.

Moreover, in the next ten years or so, even if we stay in the city, we will be subject to great restrictions and will not be able to develop freely...
