1959Siheyuan, a Turnaround

Li Dajiang felt deeply moved when he saw his brothers trying to give up the precious work quota for formal workers to each other.

These days, work targets for formal workers are extremely valuable and hard to come by.

However, the deep friendship between the brothers before us is even more precious.

Li Dajiang pondered for a moment and said slowly, "Since you are all so modest, let's put this matter aside for now. Go home and ask my parents and let them make the decision."

After hearing this, everyone nodded, indicating that they agreed with the decision.

Grandpa Li and Grandma Li have always been very fair in their work, so they naturally believe that they can handle this matter well.

Afterwards, Li Dajiang took out the one thousand yuan given by Director Liu of the purchasing station.

He began to distribute it in front of everyone.

Each person got 200 yuan, including Li Dajiang and Li Weiguo.

As for the extra portion, Li Dajiang decided to give it to the villagers.

After all, every time they go up the mountain to hunt, they have to rely on the guns in the village. They can't rely solely on this relationship with Lijia Village, and they can't treat the villagers unfairly.

So he handed the two hundred yuan to Li Xinyan.

Li Xinyan quickly declined, saying, "Brother Dajiang, you guys never treated us unfairly every time we came back from hunting, so how can we take the money? What's more, we have benefited a lot from you."

Li Dajiang insisted, "Those are just small matters. Every time we go hunting in the mountains, we use the village's guns. You must take this money."

Li Xinyan couldn't refuse, and finally had to accept the 200 yuan on behalf of the villagers.

At the same time, he also took a few cleaned pig's trotters and pig's stomachs and asked Li Weiguo and others to take them back to the old lady.

Li Dahu took the 200 yuan he was allocated and hurried to find Chen Suzhi.

Chen Suzhi was working in the fields now, and Li Dahu was happy and went straight to the fields to find her.

"Suzhi, there is good news!" Li Dahu's face was filled with excitement.

Chen Suzhi was working. When she heard Li Dahu's voice, she looked up in confusion, "Dahu, what's the good news? I heard that you came back with a lot of stuff from the mountains this time. I already know it!"

Li Dahu walked up to her, his eyes sparkling with joy, and said in a low voice: "Our daughter Wei Lan has found a job!"

When Chen Suzhi heard this, her eyes widened instantly and the shovel in her hand fell to the ground. "What? What did you say? Wei Lan really got a job?" Her voice trembled slightly with excitement.

Li Dahu nodded vigorously, "Yes! Weiguo is a capable guy. He found Weilan a job as a salesperson in a supply and marketing cooperative."

Chen Suzhi was stunned for a moment, and then a bright smile broke out on her face.

She covered her mouth with her hands and tears welled up in her eyes.

"Oh my, this is great! Our daughter has something to look forward to."

She spun around excitedly, as if she couldn't believe the good news.

"I said Weiguo was a promising kid. I didn't expect he still cared about our daughter."

Then she hurriedly grabbed Li Dahu's arm.

"Da Hu, hurry up and pack up the eggs at home and take them to my uncle and aunt in the city. They have helped us so much, we must be polite."

Li Dahu smiled and replied, "Okay, I'll go right away. By the way, this is my share of the money from selling the prey!"

When Li Dahu put a thick stack of money into Chen Suzhi's hand, she felt sick.

It was the first time she had so much money in her hands.

"Why... so many?" she asked with eyes wide open in disbelief.

Li Dahu said with some pride: "This is only part of it. This time we killed seven wild boars, two roe deer, and quite a few hares and pheasants. We will share some of the money tomorrow!"

"Really? Then... No, I'll tell the captain and go home to catch two old hens that are willing to lay eggs for my aunt!"

After saying that, Chen Suzhi ran towards the captain with an excited look on her face.

At the same time, in another part of the village, Li Xinchuang also returned home with the 200 yuan he had been allocated.

When his family saw the money in his hand, they all showed surprise.

"Xinchuang, what's going on?" asked Li Xinchuang's mother.

Li Xinchuang smiled and recounted what happened. "This is the hunting money that Brother Dajiang gave us. Director Liu from the purchasing station gave us a portion first, and then Brother Dajiang distributed it to everyone."

Li Xinchuang's family members were deeply moved when they heard this.

"Dajiang and his family are so kind. You were able to become a regular worker because of them. We can't forget this kindness."

"I understand, mother. I will never forget the kindness of Brother Dajiang and his family!"

As for the additional work indicators, Li Xinchuang didn't even mention them.

There is always a scale in his heart, and he knows that he cannot be greedy. If it weren't for Li Dajiang helping them for the sake of his brotherhood.

He and Li Dahu are still farming in the village!

Now that he has a formal job and receives a monthly salary, he can also share the money when he gets something from hunting or fishing in the mountains. This is something he can't even find even with a lantern, so how could he have any excessive thoughts!

When Li Dahu and Li Xinchuang came out of home, they were holding a lot of things in their hands. These were specially prepared by the family for Grandpa Li and Grandma Li.

Li Dajiang looked at the things the two brothers brought. Although he didn't say anything, his heart was full of gratitude towards their families.

He knew very well that the fact that they, the brothers, could live in harmony with each other was inseparable from the support of their family members.

Afterwards, they said goodbye to the villagers of Lijia Village and returned to Sijiu City.

They walked into the house together, and Grandma Li was shocked to see them carrying so many things.

She frowned and blamed Li Dajiang for being ignorant: "Dajiang, the villagers are having such a hard time right now, how can you still accept their things?"

Li Dajiang quickly explained: "Mom, don't be angry. Listen to me, we got a lot from hunting this time..."

He then recounted in detail their experiences in the mountains and the many prey they had hunted.

Only when Li Dajiang told her how much they had harvested this time did Grandma Li feel at ease to take over these things.

She understood that this was the villagers' gratitude to them and the filial piety of her two nephews, so she naturally could not refuse.

However, when the additional work indicators were mentioned, Mrs. Li was also very surprised.

After thinking for a moment, she smiled and said, "Isn't this easy? Convert this work quota into money. Those who want work don't want money, and those who want money don't want work quotas. This is fair!"

When Li Dajiang heard this, his eyes lit up and he thought this method was indeed good.

This way, no one needs to feel uncomfortable.

But when it came to how much money it would cost, he became worried again.

Grandma Li looked at Li Dajiang's dilemma, nodded his head with a smile, and said, "Isn't it hard to say? Put the money you get this time together with the work target. If you want the work target, don't share the money."

Li Dajiang thought carefully about his mother's words, felt that they made sense, and agreed.

At this time, the atmosphere in the room became relaxed.

Li Dajiang said with emotion: "Mom, you still have a solution. This way everyone will be satisfied."

Grandma Li nodded slightly and said, "We are all family. We can't let this matter ruin our relationship. We have to handle this fairly and impartially."
