Chapter 146 My Sister-in-Law Has an Idea

Luo Cheng wanted to find the third brigade to raise pigs, chickens and ducks. Such things could not be hidden, and he had no intention of hiding them from the people in the town.

For example, Luo Cheng's sister-in-law is from Qinlingkou, even if she can not tell her family about it now. Is it possible to ensure that other people in the brigade don't say that many villagers' wives' natal families may not be from the third brigade.

So there is no need to hide this matter, just do it directly. Luo Baotian explained the matter to the team captains, and also notified the accountants, cashiers, etc. in the team.

In the afternoon, let the team leader go back to his village to count the situation of each household, and strive to have all the statistics by tomorrow morning. But when the chickens and ducks are delivered, each pair comes first to take the quantity needed by their own village. And one thing is that every family has to build a chicken shed in these two days. If you don't know how to build it, you can have someone teach you. You can build it by picking up some dead branches and sticks.

There are two tractors. After they are completed tomorrow, the backstage will arrange for someone to follow Luo Cheng to the city early in the morning. Luo Baotian will also go, and bring more people with him. At least the team leader will go, and the accountant must also go. There were few people, and I was afraid something might go wrong on the way back.

When Luo Cheng had dinner in the afternoon, his father Luo Wen also told him the itinerary. The day after tomorrow, he, Bingzi, and Bingzi's wife would also go, mainly because Luo Cheng now lives in the city and they haven't visited it yet.

The original plan was to let Luo Cheng's mother go and let Qin Ru take care of her grandma and uncle at home. But considering that Luo Bing and Qin Ruru had just gotten married, it would be a good idea to let them go to the city for a walk.

Luo Cheng nodded. If they went to the city, even if they returned on the same day, the two sisters would be very happy to see them.

After a simple dinner, Luo Cheng called his old lady outside alone.

"Nariko, what do you need to tell mom? Why are you so secretive?"

"I~~I'm not used to eating whole grains, but the ration of fine grains in the city is not enough. Give me some of the rice at home. Dad will go to the city with me the day after tomorrow. I will buy the ration of coarse grains in the city into corn noodles for you."

Luo Cheng said with some embarrassment that now is not an era of not having enough to eat, but an era of whether one will starve to death. Forget about whole grains, everything you eat will be wasted. There was not a single person in the entire Longyang Town who said he was not used to eating whole grains, so Luo Cheng felt a little embarrassed when he said this, but it didn't matter if he told his mother this.

"Look at what my mother did. You are a leader in the city, so you should eat fine grains. Mom will prepare it for you tomorrow and take it away the day after tomorrow. But Xiaoyu and Shishi don't keep giving them fine grains. Don't be spoiled, you will be criticized by others when you marry in the future."

His mother's answer embarrassed Luo Cheng again. The two sisters really ate the same thing as him every day. It seemed that they had never eaten whole grains since they went to the city. But there is no need to worry about this in the future. After they go to the repair shop to raise chickens, the factory will give them some meal stamps, which can be thick or thin, but basically the amount is enough for a lunch meal. The factory won't give it to you at night.

"Mom, Xiaoyu and Shishi, I have found a temporary worker for them in the city. Although they can't eat rations like me, they are paid every month, and the factory has meal tickets for them. They can spend some money at noon. You can eat it without food stamps. I won’t need to keep it in the city anymore.”

"What~~, Chengzi, you found jobs for Xiaoyu and Shishi in the city."

"Mom, I am a temporary worker, and the salary is not much. It is very different from a regular worker."

"Then how much can they earn in a month? Shishi is so young, she can still work."

"It's all the same. It's only eighteen and a half yuan a month. If there is no quota, the money will not be spent in the city."

Eighteen and a half yuan~~, two little girls can actually earn eighteen and a half yuan each. Although it is said that without tickets and rations, you cannot buy food. But now rice is only 161 pounds, and corn noodles are only 5 cents. If you have a ticket, you can buy a hundred kilograms of rice, not to mention stick noodles.

Even if you go to the pigeon market and buy free food, a pound of stick noodles is only 20 to 30 cents, and you can buy nearly 70 to 80 pounds.

If we insist on counting it this way, there are indeed so many. Nowadays, it is normal for a working person in the city to support the family. Of course, that is a formal job. Even if the rest of the family does not have a job, they still have a ration.

Luo Cheng's desire for rice is not a problem for his family, but they don't have much. It doesn't matter if the whole family eats whole grains, but Xiaoyu and Shishi have jobs. For my mother, this is a great joy.

My mother immediately went back to her room to tell her father and grandma, and she did not hide the matter from her brother and sister-in-law.

The two little girls followed Luo Cheng to the city, and within a short time, he helped them find jobs. Although Luo Cheng said it would take a while before he could go to work, since Luo Cheng could tell the matter, it was basically safe. Even if they are temporary workers, the two girls can earn thirty-seven yuan a month from filming together. When you earn work points in the countryside and have a large family, when the harvest is good, excluding the grain you share, the balance may only be this much.

As a family, the two younger sisters are about to get a temporary job in the city and they can talk for a long time. What's more, even a temporary job is enough to change the life of a rural girl. If you don’t have a job, and no matter how old you are, you won’t be able to marry someone from the city, you will eventually have to marry back to the countryside and return to rural life.

But with a job, for city dwellers, marrying someone is not necessarily a burden. There is no ration, but if you get a monthly salary, you can buy a lot of food.

Luo Cheng didn't listen to what his family was saying. He washed himself, went to the car and hid under the quilt to sleep.

The ones who really have trouble sleeping tonight are Luo Bing and his wife. Xiaoyu and Shishi are Luo Cheng's biological sisters, and Luo Bing is also Luo Cheng's biological brother. If there is a chance to work in the city, who in Longyang Town would not want to go.

If there is no chance, Luo Bing is willing to earn work points at home and be filial to his parents. But what if his eldest brother Luo Cheng still had such ability? He didn't dare to ask about it.

Qin Ru actually had a lot of ideas, but after all, she just got married and she didn't dare to encourage her husband Luo Bing. When her parents agreed to her marriage to Luo Bing, they only expected Luo Bing's eldest brother to help them if they were having trouble. They never thought that Luo Cheng could help find a job.

I can only wait until later. As my sister-in-law, I have to find ways to please this eldest brother. This relationship is closer, and if we bring it up in the future, there should be hope.

The night was getting darker. Luo Cheng was sleeping in the car and heard a subtle ticking sound in the dimness.

It seemed to be raining, but I didn't want to open my eyes to take a look. I just felt a little cold, and I huddled tighter under the quilt.

The next day, Luo Cheng woke up in the car and saw a hazy drizzle outside the car. This is the second light rain since we have been here for so many days, but it is good if it rains, as many groundwater levels will rise. You may not feel anything after the rain stops, but some dry wells may have a lot of water just because of a light rain.

It was raining lightly, so Luo Cheng went to the main room to chat with his grandmother and mother. In such a rainy day, his father and Luo Bing still had to go to work in the brigade. Moreover, if the rain is not heavy, the ground will be moistened, and the work will actually be easier.

Today, the team leader in the brigade is going to register the number of people in each household and record their names. The requirement is to complete the statistics before lunch, and then ask the villagers to quickly build chicken sheds. The team leader took people to see the former pig pen of the production team. There used to be a pig pen in the town, but it has been temporarily abandoned in the past two years. Rice bran and grass roots are eaten by people, so what are they fed to pigs?

The pigsty could actually be used once it was repaired. Luo Baotian thought of arranging a few people in each team to come and feed them in turn. The work points are also divided equally, which is fair. But let Luo Wen's daughter-in-law supervise it so that they can earn more work points.

My uncle has been staying in the woodshed for many days. Even if it is raining lightly outside, he still wants to take a walk. Wearing a tattered cotton-padded jacket and no change of clothes, grandma planned to use her father Luo Wen's clothes to have her uncle wash and replace them. Wash your clothes and put them back when they are dry.

At noon, the rain still didn't stop, but it wasn't heavy either. There is some water in the small ditch in the ground. It will be easier to plant vegetables next time. There is no need to carry water from far away.

In the afternoon, his father Luo Wen and his brother Luo Bing did not go out, but Luo Baotian had two tractors parked in a row with Luo Cheng's car. They planned to set off tomorrow as soon as the sky was a little brighter and they could see clearly. The tractor was driving slowly, so it would be impossible not to set off early.

In fact, two tractors can't pull much. Even if the pigs are not very big, they are not piglets. If they don't pull anything else, one tractor can pull only four or five at most, because there are still people in the car. In this world, one or two people really don't dare to bring five and a half big pigs back from the city. The team leader Luo Baotian has now organized a team to pull the goods. It takes time to pull pigs, time to pull chickens and ducks, and time to pull feed. .

When it was getting dark, Captain Luo brought some chicken cages over, some old and new. They were all put on a tractor, and a few bundles of straw were carried to the woodshed of Luo Cheng's family. If it rains tomorrow when you go to pull something, use straw to cover it.

Luo Cheng saw that after the rain, a creek not far away also had water, so he went to sign in out of curiosity.

Luo Cheng remembered that he had seen in videos that in small streams like this in rural areas, you could actually catch a lot of things, such as loaches, small fish, crabs and so on. If children in rural areas pass by such a creek on their way to and from school, they will look at it and grab whatever there is.

One soft-shell turtle, one pound of field snails, one pound of river shrimps, a piece of flower rain stone, and five Buddha fish.

After signing in, he got a turtle, which made Luo Cheng a little strange. Turtles grow beside streams. But I remember someone said that turtles were always encountered in the fields in the past, and few people ate them, even those as big as a washbasin.

Luo Cheng had never heard of the Bodhisattva fish, but he was curious and took out one. It was a few centimeters long, small and flat, and had stripes on its body. It was very beautiful. But what's the use of such a small fish? Even if you take one out, you can't put it back, so Luo Cheng throws it into the creek.
