The tough life of a beautiful educated young girl from the 1970s who married a rough man

"Hey, okay, thank you Teacher Shen."

Zhao Weidong put away the note gratefully, then sighed worriedly.

"Hey, I didn't expect to save salt money and save more problems. This is great. Going to the county will not only cost money to buy medicine, but also delay earning work points in the afternoon."

Chen Xiaoping worriedly asked, "Mr. Shen, is this medicine called Kelp expensive?"

Shen Zhiwei said, "It shouldn't be expensive, this is a common product grown by the sea for many years."

"Oh, okay, then let's go buy it right away, thank you Teacher Shen."

Chen Shuimei took out two eggs from her pocket and handed them to Shen Zhiwei, "Mr. Shen, our family is so poor that we can only thank you with eggs. These two eggs were laid by the hen at home yesterday and today."

Shen Zhiwei refused to accept it, "Sister-in-law, you can take these eggs back and exchange them for salt. You can thank me when you recover from the illness, and you can give me the melons, fruits and vegetables from the plot."

Such a tactful refusal, and they also kindly called sister-in-law, Zhao Weidong and his wife felt that Mr. Shen was too close and warm, so they readily agreed, "Mr. Shen, my peanut harvest will be harvested in a few days, please bring some to thank you."

"Okay, you go buy medicine first, don't worry, this is not a serious illness."

Xiao Zheng hesitated for a while, and then said, "Brother Weidong, if you don't worry, I'll go to the county tomorrow to help you buy this kombu. Teacher Shen and I will go to the county to do business tomorrow, and we can return to the village in the evening."

After Xiao Zheng finished speaking, he specially reminded Shen Zhiwei, "Wei Wei, we will go to the county to do business tomorrow Sunday, remember?"

He thought that the two of them would go to the county to play tomorrow, and they would help Zhao Weidong buy medicinal materials along the way, which would not delay Zhao Weidong and his wife from going to work in the afternoon to earn work points.

In addition, Shen Zhiwei's reason for going out tomorrow is also more reasonable.

Shen Zhiwei naturally understood.

I also remembered what Xiao Zheng said a few days ago that he would go to the county photo studio to take pictures, watch a movie, and have a formal date.

"Oh, yes, we're going to the county to do business tomorrow, so let's buy the medicinal materials for you along the way."

"Hey, that would be great, Officer Xiao, please help me bring the medicine back."

Zhao Weidong took out two yuan from his pocket and handed it to Xiao Zheng.

"Okay, Brother Weidong, I'll take the money for you first, and I'll come back to you if I have any left over to buy medicine."

"Okay, let's go home first, and we have to go to work in the afternoon."

Zhao Weidong gratefully took his wife and children home.

"Daughter-in-law, let's continue eating."

Xiao Zheng gently led Shen Zhiwei into the kitchen.

The two chatted while eating.

"Xiao Zheng, when the brigade cadres have a meeting in the afternoon, I would like to suggest to the brigade leader to count how many families in this village suffer from big neck disease. If there are a lot of people, the production team can buy kelp in bulk and put it in the health center. Allocate to needy families." Shen Zhiwei discussed seriously.

Xiao Zheng nodded in agreement, "Well, I also have the same idea as you. If you propose in the afternoon meeting, I support you."

Shen Zhiwei added, "I also thought of a faster way for the villagers to earn a sum of money, without waiting for the division of labor and money during the New Year, to have a sum of income first—that is, to sell the vegetables from the private plot to the canteen of the county's state-owned factory."

"The canteen of the county factory buys vegetables from the farm, and the cooperation is stable. Will it be difficult for us to let them buy vegetables from our village?" Xiao Zheng asked a little uncertainly.

Shen Zhiwei said to himself, "It's not too difficult. I mentioned this to several factory managers last time. They said that if they buy it once or twice, they can still support us. They just want us to deliver the food by ourselves."

"Daughter-in-law, you are really the lucky star of our Tianling Village."

Xiao Zheng couldn't help holding Shen Zhiwei in his arms again, and kissed him a few times.

After school in the evening, Shen Zhiwei mentioned the preparations for the shampoo factory at the meeting of the brigade, and then talked about the illness of Zhao Weidong's family with big necks.

The team leaders and cadres attach great importance to it, and they all agree that the production team will purchase kelp and distribute it to members in need.

Shen Zhiwei added, "The problem of lack of salt may be mainly due to the financial difficulties of the members' families. Unless the production team divides the work and distributes the money in advance, everyone will still be short of money."

"Individual members have the problem of lack of money to buy salt, and all production teams have it. According to the current method, families in need can borrow money from the brigade to buy salt, and the loan will be deducted when calculating work points at the end of the year." The team leader said compromised.

At present, the sideline income from selling wood is invested in shampoo to buy production equipment, and it is impossible to buy salt and distribute it to members.

Shen Zhiwei thought that some housewives might not be willing to borrow money from the production team to buy salt, so it is better to let them earn the expenses first.

"Captain, I have an idea, so that most of the members' families can get a certain amount of income first."

Hearing this, all the cadres of the production team came over in unison.

"Mr. Shen, what can you do?"

"It's like this. Last time I discussed with several factory directors, whether we can purchase some fresh vegetables from our village for cooking in their cafeteria. They are willing to give me a favor. As long as we have a good price, each family will pick vegetables from their own plots. Some of them can be sold for a sum of money.”

"Mr. Shen, you really... have made great contributions to our Tianling Village!"

All the village cadres stood up and applauded excitedly.

Every family in the village has their own plots, and there is a surplus of vegetables. If they can be sold for money, it will really solve the problem.
