Countercurrent 1978 starts with the production team

Chapter 22 A chance encounter at the post office

When the members received their wages, everyone was dumbfounded and some couldn't believe it.

In just half a month, everyone has basically received more than 20 yuan.

In that month, wouldn't it be possible to get five or sixty yuan, which is a huge sum of money for these members.

Thinking of farming at home and getting paid in the brick factory, the members felt excited.

In the past, I was envious that people from other villages could go to the factories near the village to work part-time jobs. Now I don’t know who is envious of whom.

The captain has said that in the future, they will be paid according to the workload. As long as they do more, they will get more, and there will be no cap.

As soon as Chu Jianghe's new regulations came out, the entire brick factory was in a state of excitement.

After everyone carefully put their wages into their pockets, they took a look at the others and made a secret decision in their hearts: In the next half month, let me see who can do more than me.

They have only been doing it for half a month, and their proficiency has just improved. If they had been doing it for a long time, they would dare to think about it and spend 80 or [-] yuan.

Next, the members burst out with 120% enthusiasm and devoted themselves to the work of the brick factory.

Workers who see hope are the most motivated, and motivated factories are the most profitable.

Seeing the members working so hard, how could Chu Jianghe not understand what they were thinking, so he said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Everyone's enthusiasm for work is understandable, but it should be done in moderation. You can't make enough money. The fields in the fields If you want to plant, don't forget to plow the fields at home, but don't go home so tired that you can't even hand over the public grain. The sisters-in-law in the team will come to trouble me as the captain, so they will unjustly kill me."

Most of the club members were simple men, and they all burst out laughing when they heard the captain's dirty joke.

However, the movements of his hands did not stop at all. This was related to making money.

I originally thought that this captain had a cold temperament, but after more than half a month of contact with him, I found him to be quite approachable.

But this is only when he is not angry. The captain is still very serious when he does things seriously.

These simple men have a very simple mind. They will obey anyone who is really good for them.

In the past, there was only one old secretary, but now there is another captain, Chu Jianghe.

"Captain, don't worry, we are not only good at growing the fields in the field, but also doing better at home!"

"Just you? I'm not talking about you, you have such a weak body, I'm afraid you will be discouraged after a few times, right?"

"Fuck you, how about we compete?"

"Compared to..."

When Chu Jianghe heard this, he felt a black line. Is this comparable?

"Stop it, stop it. You still have to remember one thing, there are only exhausted cows and no damaged fields. Okay, let's work hard."

After saying that, he led Liu Yunfang, who was already blushing, back home.

After Chu Jianghe left, the members were still thinking about Chu Jianghe's last words.

In the end, the members of the club agreed that grandma’s words were those of them who had read books, and educated people spoke with reason.

Chu Jianghe returned home, and when it was time to have lunch, Chu Dayou hadn't come back yet.

His wife, Zhao Yufen, quit her job and said angrily: "This old man goes crazy every day and doesn't even bother to eat."

It seemed that his father was really concerned about the school and would not come back even after lunch.

The instigator, Chu Jianghe, did not dare to offend his mother in this matter, so he said perfunctorily: "Maybe there is something wrong, let's eat first."

"Humph, what can happen to him?" Zhao Yufen thought that her daughter-in-law was still there, so she snorted and stopped talking.

After eating, Chu Jianghe rode his family's bicycle and went to the post office in the town.

After half a month of hard work, Chu Jianghe finally finished the manuscript of his novel, totaling 12 words.

A thick stack of manuscript paper, almost two hundred sheets.

It just took a lot of thinking to send it somewhere. In these days, many well-known magazines of later generations have not yet been launched.

After much deliberation, I finally decided to send it to the Children's Publishing House in Shanghai.

Speaking of Children's Publishing House, it is very famous. "One Hundred Thousand Whys" and "Tadpole Looking for Mom" ​​are all published by this publishing house.

This book itself is a popular science book, and the story is more suitable for young readers.

The original author, Mr. Ye, is the main author of "One Hundred Thousand Whys", so it is more appropriate to send it to Children's Publishing House.

Sending this thick stack of manuscript paper cost a lot just in postage.

After coming out of the post office, Chu Jianghe was about to ride home when he was stopped by someone.

"Jianghe?!"

I saw an ordinary-looking man wearing black homespun clothes, looking at me with surprise.

After looking carefully, it turned out to be Liu Dajun, his high school classmate.

The two had a good relationship in high school, and Chu Jianghe naturally responded enthusiastically.

"Dajun, it's your boy."

Seeing Liu Dajun pushing a bicycle with a bag tied to the side and a scale beam hanging on it, I naturally knew what he was doing.

"Why, have you also embarked on the path of opportunistic crime?"

When Liu Dajun heard what he said, he looked around in shock and found that no one was paying attention. Then he cautiously said: "Are you crazy? You can't talk nonsense."

Seeing his cautious look, Chu Jianghe stopped teasing him and asked with a smile, "What are you selling?"

Liu Dajun chuckled: "It's just some dry goods that I fry at home, mainly selling melon seeds."

"How's business?"

"Hey, it's okay."

"Weigh it for me."

"Good."

Liu Dajun deftly untied the bag on his bicycle, took a piece of straw paper, filled it with a large bag of melon seeds, and handed it to Chu Jianghe.

Plastic bags are not yet popular these days, so most of the things we buy are wrapped in paper.

"Give."

"how much is it?"

When Liu Dajun heard Chu Jianghe's words, his face suddenly became unhappy.

"What are you talking about? My old classmate is just treating you to some melon seeds. What kind of money do you want to give me?"

Chu Jianghe took the full bag of melon seeds, and his heart was still very warm.

He didn't have many friends in high school, and Liu Dajun was one of them.

"By the way, Jiang He, what have you been doing these past six months?"

Liu Dajun asked curiously. Chu Jianghe had a dull personality in high school, and he had rarely contacted his old classmates in the past six months or so.

"Now I am the captain of our production team."

Chu Jianghe naturally didn't hide anything from him.

"Oh, okay, you, accidentally, I let you embark on an official career." Liu Dajun yelled funny and winked at Chu Jianghe.

The two hadn't seen each other for more than half a year. Most of the time they talked about interesting things about school and their experiences in the past six months.

Liu Dajun was envious when he heard that Chu Jianghe was married.

He also wants to get married, but his family's conditions don't allow it.

We can only take risks and do small speculative business.

Chu Jianghe naturally knew the situation in his family, and gave him an idea.

"You are so tired from walking around the streets. Let me give you an idea. Divide the melon seeds into small packages of equal weight and make them more beautiful. When the weekend comes, go to the county cinema and get some Sell ​​it at the door of the workers' club, and you can sell it for 1 cent a pack, and there will definitely be many people buying it."

"Is this possible?" Liu Dajun was a little skeptical.

"Think about it, who are the people who go to the cinema on weekends? They must be sex workers, and no one can afford a cent. There are also workers' clubs, and the people who go there are all workers' big brothers. What's more, No problem."

After hearing what Chu Jianghe said, Liu Dajun was going to give it a try this weekend.

"Hey, I listen to you."

Giving him an idea is just a piece of cake. It's up to him whether he listens or not.

The two continued to chat for a while, and then Chu Jianghe left.

On the way back, Chu Jianghe met an old woman who fell down. He helped her up and sent her home.

The old lady was very grateful to him. Chu Jianghe thought it was a trivial matter and didn't take it to heart. He waved to the old lady and went home.

When I returned home, I didn't expect to see relatives I hadn't visited for a long time - my two uncles.

Chu Jianghe naturally knew what they were here for.
