Rebirth at 70: I am the rough man’s treasure

After returning to Yangkoupo, Wu Shengqian and Yang Xiaotian paid back the principal they owed to the sheep farm at 600 yuan per sheepskin, making the sheep farm a small profit.Then, they paid back the money they paid for renting the truck. In total, after this trip, they made a net profit of more than [-] yuan.

In those days, this was considered a huge sum of money.

The money went into the savings bank. Yang Xiaotian looked at the numbers on the deposit certificate and felt happy.

She was thinking about it at home and said to Wu Shengqian with great expectation: "Now that we have money, we need to renovate the house and buy two decent pieces of furniture. Oh, we also need to encircle the courtyard wall. We won't use any adobe, but we will use all the furniture." Red bricks! If you do something in the yard from now on, you won’t be afraid of being seen by passers-by."

The young daughter-in-law held the deposit certificate to her chest, looking like she was obsessed with money, her eyes shining brightly.

Wu Shengqian saw it funny, so he teased her and asked: "What do you want to do in the yard so shamelessly that you are so afraid of being seen by passers-by? Is it with me?"

"Shut up!"

Before Wu Shengqian could finish speaking, a small hand firmly covered his mouth.

Yang Xiaotian blushed and scolded: "Why are you so shameless? Your mind is full of these things!"

Wu Shengqian didn't hide, and let her soft little hands cover him, but a big smile still appeared from the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.

After a long time, he grabbed the hand, stared at Yang Xiaotian and asked: "You have planned so many things, have you forgotten one thing?"

"Forgot what?"

Yang Xiaotian's eyes widened and she looked confused.

Wu Shengqian slapped her on the forehead and said angrily: "Heartless! You forgot, we just got the marriage certificate and the wedding wine hasn't been served yet!"

"Oh, didn't you forget that you were busy?"

Yang Xiaotian rubbed her head and said embarrassedly.

Wu Shengqian hummed: "I think you just don't care!"

Yang Xiaotian also complained: "In other families, the women only care about the wedding wine, but the men have to do it! They have to spend money on meals, buy new clothes, and have to be busy. The women still want to wear beautiful clothes. , have a happy day, what are you guys doing? Just you, keep remembering this."

"I don't love you!" Wu Shengqian pinched her face, raised his eyebrows and said, "Other people's wives have some, and I want to give them to you. Is this my fault?"

Yang Xiaotian smiled and hid, begging for mercy again and again: "You are right, you are right, I was wrong!"

He hit her hard and squeezed her lightly, causing her great pain.

But Yang Xiaotian was so sweet in her heart that she didn't even care about his old habit of calling himself "I".

The young couple set the date of their wedding to the ninth day of next month, and then began to work hard for this day.

Wu Shengqian's parents and family members all died early, and Yang Xiaotian was left alone without even an elder with whom he could discuss matters.

Fortunately, the fat aunt next door was enthusiastic and treated the two of them as her own children and planned for them heart and soul.

What the fat aunt meant was that the young couple didn't have any relatives, so they kept everything simple and just set up five or six tables in their yard and invited the folks they were close to for a meal, and that was all.

Yang Xiaotian also agreed, but Wu Shengqian said: "No, if I want to do it, I have to do it in a big way. I have to let everyone in Yangkoupo see what a good wife I, Wu Dashen, have married."

"What did you say in front of the fat aunt?"

Yang Xiaotian blushed and pushed him gently.

The fat aunt smiled and said: "It's a big deal, it's okay. Anyway, Big Scar is not short of money now. It's a once-in-a-lifetime happy event, so it's worth spending more." She asked again, "Then what are you going to do? Method?"

Wu Shengqian said: "I have thought about going to a restaurant in the county."

Yang Xiaotian's eyes widened when she heard this, and she retorted: "No, no, how much will it cost?"

The fat aunt also said: "It's not just about money! You want to make a big deal and let all the folks have a wedding banquet, but the county is so far away, and how can those with inconvenient legs and feet go there? Many people can't afford to sit there. Even if I can afford the car, that bus can't accommodate such an elderly person."

"That's right, I can't go to the county seat."

Yang Xiaotian quickly agreed.

Wu Shengqian looked at her, smiled helplessly, and suggested: "Then... let's rent the big canteen in Yangkoupo? The chefs there are also good at cooking. If we can put more than a dozen tables there, there will be tables, chairs and benches. It’s ready-made, and the kitchen is big enough, so it’s very convenient. Moreover, the price is much lower than in the county, so it saves my stingy wife the heartache.”

"Hate!"

When Yang Xiaotian heard the sound, she pinched her man first.

The young couple were flirting and flirting, and the fat aunt saw it and was happy for them in her heart.

She thought for a while, frowned and said, "That's good, but... the canteen is owned by the public and never takes on private work. Is it possible to do this?"

"You'll know if it's possible or not, just ask."

After Wu Shengqian said this arrogantly, he took Yang Xiaotian to the cafeteria that day.

When the person in charge of the canteen heard what he said, he immediately waved his hands as Fat Aunt expected, "No, no, we are a public canteen, not a business."

Wu Shengqian said: "But I heard that the performance of our canteen has been very poor in the past two years. Everyone who works here, whether it is the cooking master or the waiter at the window, has not been paid for several months, right? And you? , has it been a while since you took money from home?”

Upon hearing this, the person in charge had a smug look on his face and sighed repeatedly: "Isn't that right! Who has the energy to work hard if they work more and get the same amount of money? The lazier the workers are, the less likely they are to cook this food." The more perfunctory they are, the less tricks they have, and the fewer people come to eat. If this continues, won't it become a vicious circle?"

Yang Xiaotian didn't understand what a vicious cycle was, but listening to the canteen manager's words, she thought about a lot of things.

The canteen is like this, but the sheep farm is also the same.

Everyone earns dead labor points according to the working hours, and they work more and less, so many people work as odd jobs.

There are really only a few people like Wu Shengqian who are strong, agile and honest.How many people are just messing around, which makes a good sheep farm less efficient year by year.

Yang Xiaotian was thinking further and further, and Wu Shengqian had already said, "Look, you don't make any money from me. How can you rely on the canteen for no income? If you want to make money, you have to take the lead. That's not good." Let’s change the place!”

"You mean..."

The cafeteria manager frowned at him.

"Start with me. From now on in Yangkoupo, any major weddings or funerals can be held in the cafeteria. This way, they don't have to borrow tables, chairs, pots and pans from everywhere, and your cafeteria can also generate income. , isn’t it a good thing for both sides?”

Several employees in the canteen were listening eagerly.

At this moment, they all stood up and said: "Yes, yes, manager, just listen to Wu Da Scar! If we don't make changes, we will all starve to death!"
