NOVEL NEXT Reborn at 70 and living a good life with his biological mother
Chapter 222 Going to the city to make money
Zhao Jiehong also has a fiery personality.
After agreeing to partner with Lin Wanyi, she immediately flew to the county seat. Now that she has the support of Tan Jiangang and his wife, she can't wait to start a business and earn a thousand yuan to return home and make the Tan Jiangang and his wife look good. .
Grandma Yu's house doesn't want new tenants, so Lin Wanyi must find a house for Tan Youye's family of four.This matter came to Xiaohan, a warm-hearted person, and he was very familiar with it.
"Don't stay too far away. It doesn't matter whether it's a bungalow or a building."
Xiaohan was very impressed, "Are you all going to move to the city?"
Lin Wanyi nodded modestly: "Life is difficult in the countryside, but it is easier to make a living in the county."
He only dared to make a fuss when he had some financial resources. When Lin Wanyi came over, it was just a job transfer, but Zhao Jiehong and Tan Youye, two real rural people, actually dared to come to the county alone to make a living. It seemed that they both had money in their hands. , otherwise who would dare to leave the land at home and drag the whole family into the city?
People in the city are not like those in the countryside where they can produce and sell their own goods. They have to spend money to buy everything, such as firewood, rice, oil and salt. They can't live in vain for long, so they can only force people in the city to work hard to make money.
The term "migrant workers" is not yet popular. The very few who go out to work go to the south, and most of the migrant workers are urbanites. It doesn't matter if these farmers go to the city, but it is terrible that they will not be able to get along. In the end, they may not even be able to get along with themselves. You can't even open your mouth to feed it.
Xiaohan envied the courage of Zhao Jiehong's family. These days, not many farmers left their fields behind and went to the city to make a living.
Moreover, doing business now is all about speculation, which needs to be severely punished. If you want to transform into a worker, you have to spend a lot of money to build relationships, and this is not an iron rice bowl. When bad luck comes, it is common for you to lose your job.
Even if you start a small business, you won't be able to support these four mouths. Besides, there is a risk of losing money in the wind and rain. Those who receive a salary are guaranteed to have income in droughts and floods, and their lives are stable and moist. The wages in some units are not that high, and the benefits are good. !
Everything was provided for food and needs, from housing to schooling for children at home, and schools for children from kindergarten to junior high school... The workers in the unit had a prosperous life, and they were also exhausted. Later, there was a large-scale layoff wave, and the iron rice bowl of the past was no longer available. Start from scratch.
When a person reaches middle age and wants to work in the fields, he is afraid that his body and bones will no longer be able to withstand the level of exertion. By then, both ends will be empty, and life will become even worse.
Of course, Xiaohan couldn't see that far yet, so she praised him a few times, saying that he wanted her to come to the county town without anything.
She wouldn't even dare to lend her some courage!
The last room shown to Zhao Jiehong was not far or near Grandma Yu's house. It was a suite in a building and belonged to the county railway bureau's dormitory.
Everyone is short of housing, and those who can rent out their houses must be people with their own connections.
Lin Wanyi accompanied Zhao Jiehong to see the house. The bathroom was shared on the same floor, the kitchen was independent, and the room plus a small living room was not considered one bedroom and one living room. It was a standard "one and a half rooms."
The layout of houses in the 70s was completely different from that of commercial real estate in later generations. Houses in the 70s had a living room with a small room, and the living room was just a place to eat. Unlike commercial houses where each room was small, a large living room was needed to be stylish.
The rent for the house is only 8 yuan a month, but the owner is too lazy to come to collect the rent every month, hoping to receive a year's rent.
Lin Wanyi felt that this apartment type was not very good, mainly because it had poor lighting and was a bit humid. She was afraid that it would not be good for the children if Zhao Jiehong lived there with her two children.
Zhao Jiehong was very satisfied. No matter how bad it was, it was much better than a room in the countryside. At least it was made of cement and would not leak or be blown by wind.
The house size is much smaller than the house Lin Wanyi rents, but it is also much cheaper than Lin Wanyi's rent.
If families don't live together, the housing in the commercial capitals is relatively plentiful. In places like Beijing and Shanghai, families can squeeze into one room, and men, women, old and young all sleep in Datong bungalows.
Besides, it’s hard to find a house nowadays. In units like the Railway Bureau, young people can be assigned dormitories after entering, so they can rent out vacant houses... If you don’t start quickly, the rent of 8 yuan a month is not cheap, but it is. There are always housing-strapped families who want it.
Zhao Jiehong was sure he wanted it, so Xiaohan went to find the landlord. However, when the landlord saw that Zhao Jiehong had a rural household registration, his attitude was obviously much colder.
What’s wrong with rural household registration? Rural people are not allowed to have money?
But for Xiaohan's sake, he still rented the house, but before handing over the keys, he put forward a lot of conditions, for fear that Zhao Jiehong's family would move in and ruin his house.
Zhao Jiehong was used to seeing these faces and didn't trust them at all. She generously gave the money and prepared to go back to the village to pack her things and move here as soon as possible.
The Tan family also raised two pigs and asked the village butcher to slaughter them. People in Shangyao Village found it strange:
"It's not even the New Year yet, and the captain is killing pigs?"
"His two pigs were fed a lot of fat and they were very fat when they were slaughtered early. They are both over 180 kilograms, right?"
"What a pity. If I feed him for another two months, he will weigh 200 pounds!"
Big fat pigs weighing 200 kilograms are not common. Pigs that do not eat feed grow slowly. Only pigs weighing 200 kilograms can produce fat three fingers thick. No housewife in charge of the stove can buy such a piece of meat, but she must be proud of it. Quite a long time.
Several villagers helped by tying up the pig's four feet and lifting it to a long bench to hold it down. The experienced butcher stabbed the pig in the neck with a white knife and inserted a red knife.Put water and salt in the basin, spray the hot pig blood into the basin, and it will slowly condense into pig blood.
Fresh pig blood is a good thing. In the north, it is customary to stuff blood sausage and stew it with sauerkraut. In Sichuan, the famous way to eat it is to eat it with fat intestine and strong blood. In Anqing, it is stir-fried with green onions.
Wait until the pig's blood is drained before scalding the skin with hot water and shaving.
The butcher and his helpers quickly took out a pig. The Tan family's pig did not weigh more than [-] pounds, so it was not far behind.
The red meat and white fat make the onlookers salivate.
"Captain, can you sell this meat?"
They all come from the same village. Even though Tan Jiangang is straight, he can't sell it to everyone at a high price. It's rare to see oily meat on the table, so he cuts two kilograms of meat home to satisfy his craving.
"Sell it, why not sell it!"
Tan Jiangang just wanted to sell the two pigs whole and raise some money for Tan Youye and his wife. After all, you may have to have some money on hand to do business, and New Year's Eve is coming soon, so killing pigs won't be too eye-catching. Then it won't make sense, Aunt Fang. It's not cost-effective, and besides, I have to keep some meat for myself.
Then kill both pigs, give away the scraps that need to be given away, sell the excess meat, and try to maximize the value of the two big fat pigs that have been hard-fed.
After killing the pig, the people in Shangyao Village knew that Tan Youye was going to move to the city with his wife and children.
"Youye went to study in a village outside and met a factory director. Now that there is a shortage of people in the workshop, he is asked to go to work. The young couple are now in a good relationship. Jiehong had to take care of the child, so they all went together."
Tan Jiangang explained it this way, and the people in the village were skeptical.
Is the Tan family lucky too?Is this also a plan to switch from farming to working?
After the pigs at home were processed, Tan Youye's family of four moved to the county town with some pork and luggage. On the day Tan Youye's family left, Aunt Fang was really worried: "Old Tan, the children should be fine..."
"What can happen? Don't get into trouble with this money-making thing!"
"Can Jiehong handle two of them well by himself?"
"Youye really plans to enter the factory together with Qingshan..."
"There should be no risk for them to make money..."
"..."
Aunt Fang was worried about this alone, and kept muttering to herself.
Tan Jiangang also told her what was going on in his heart, and said angrily, "If you're worried, just go and accompany her."
It was originally an angry comment, but I didn't expect Aunt Fang to really listen to it. She looked at him seriously and asked, "Is it okay?"
"..." Tan Jiangang was so angry that he became speechless, "You are a female cadre, but you can't leave even if you want to! And if you leave, what will happen to this big family and what will I do! What will I eat when I come back?"
Aunt Fang rolled her eyes, "What can you say if you don't want to go? I've had enough of following you. Why don't I leave? This house won't be posted, so you won't eat or drink! Are you hungry? You know how to cook by yourself. It’s not enough for me to serve you for so many years. I have to serve you to eat, drink, eat, drink, and sleep for you in the future. What sins have I done in my last life? I’m going to suffer and be tired by marrying you.”
After agreeing to partner with Lin Wanyi, she immediately flew to the county seat. Now that she has the support of Tan Jiangang and his wife, she can't wait to start a business and earn a thousand yuan to return home and make the Tan Jiangang and his wife look good. .
