Era: Start as a buyer

Chapter 9 Good Neighbors



The main content searched on the mobile phone is correct as Accountant Zhao said, but it is a little different because it records the collective system. Everyone started recording work points when they worked, and Accountant Zhao was right. Accountant Zhao and his daughter Zhao Qian may become accountants or cashiers in the brigade, or at least a recordkeeper.

But the difference is that there is no mention of everyone eating together. Could it be that he was fooled by Accountant Zhao? Luo Cheng refused to marry Zhao Qian before, saying that he had enough to eat for one person and the whole family was not hungry. After he separated, the hunters were not hunters, and the farmers were not farmers. He could barely support himself. He wanted to marry a mother-in-law. For Luo It is indeed a burden for adults.

Accountant Zhao deliberately said that we would all eat together in the cafeteria from now on. Did he say this on purpose? But it’s wrong to think about it. At least the establishment of the commune is recorded on the mobile phone, which is true. With his father here, it would not be difficult for Zhao Qian to be an accountant or cashier. Even if they don't eat in the cafeteria together, they won't be a burden to Luo Cheng.

What's more, Luo Cheng said that at first, but he didn't change his mind because he was afraid that his secret would be discovered. Otherwise, even if Zhao Qian doesn't have a job, he would still be willing to marry her. If he has a wife, he will naturally work harder to make a living. If I really don't want to find a mother-in-law, I won't blame my parents for only looking for my brother Luo Qiang instead of him.

Accountant Zhao should not fool himself, otherwise he would marry his daughter and beat his daughter three times a day. If you dare to fool him, just ask her if she can resist the beating. So Luo Cheng continued to search the webpage on his mobile phone, changed several keywords, and finally found a word that belonged to the era he lived in, and that was ~~'big pot rice'.

What Accountant Zhao said is absolutely correct. There is indeed a collective canteen. Not to mention the iron pots at home, all other tools are handed over and owned by the collective. However, the superiors will not ask for them in vain, and will pay them according to the price of scrap iron. Everyone, there just aren’t many. The steelmaking industry is short of iron.

But the information on the mobile phone shows that after a year, the big pot of rice can no longer be eaten. There are pros and cons, which allows some people to take advantage of it, such as Luo Cheng, who takes advantage.

It's only been a year, but the collective system is in effect again. In other words, for people like Luo Cheng, if he had no livelihood at that time and had to apply for hunting in the mountains, life would be really difficult for hunters. From this point of view, marrying Zhao Qian and becoming a mountain ranger is a very good way out.

Although Luo Cheng doesn't have to worry about his livelihood now, the future space will not see the light, and he must have an identity on the bright side.

After checking the information, Luo Cheng felt confident and happily watched the video for a while before falling asleep~~.

"Did you sleep or not?"

After waking up, Luo Cheng returned to his own time. He was in good spirits and his body seemed to have been replenished by sleep. But if he alternates normally like this, he will basically not be able to dream at night. And if you rest during the day, it might still be possible. This means that he can only daydream from now on.

There are vats for sale in the town. The big ones can be used as water vats. Some people buy the medium ones and use them as rice vats. The smaller ones are used for pickling radishes and so on. There are also smaller ones, which are used to hold wine or flour and beans.

Luo Cheng was planning to buy a small vat to hold wine. Orions basically knew how to drink. It was very cold in the mountains in the morning and evening, let alone when it was cold. So Luo Cheng knows how to drink, but it's just not hard to drink in winter.

Peanuts are a good thing in this era. The land is basically used for growing grains, and the vegetable fields are not used to grow peanuts, radishes or some vegetables with higher yields. Therefore, except for the newly reclaimed land, which is not easy to grow, peanuts will be planted occasionally. They don’t grow peanuts in normal times. During the Chinese New Year, no one even in rural areas has any peanuts to eat.

As for the eggs he brought over, Luo Cheng still missed his younger sister Luo Yan, who lived with his parents. There is no way around the fact that women's status in rural areas is low. However, Luo Cheng has a good relationship with Luo Yan, which may be related to the fact that Luo Yan liked to follow him when he was a child.

In fact, Luo Yan wouldn't be able to play with anyone else if she didn't follow Luo Cheng. Luo Qiang was older, so he naturally went hunting with his father in the mountains two years earlier. At most, Luo Cheng would take Luo Yan to make traps at the foot of the mountain, so the relationship would naturally become closer.

When it's hot, you have to check the traps every day, but when it's cold there's no need, because if you catch a small animal, the meat won't go bad even if it's cold.

After getting up and boiling water, Luo Cheng prepared to boil some eggs and send some to Luo Yan when he went to the mountain. Then I would take a few with me. I would not go down the mountain at noon, but would wander around the mountain picking some mountain products.

There was no firewood at home, he didn't cook much, and he didn't even wash his face and feet every day. The water is not even boiling. If you sweat in the hot weather, you can take a bath in the river outside. When washing clothes, I just rub them casually. The clothes are not clean. It is normal for them to be sloppy when I live alone. When the family was not separated, his mother or Luo Yan would wash the clothes.

There is firewood at the neighbor's house, but distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. What's wrong with lighting firewood at the neighbor's house? If you have any objections, I’ll order it for you when no one else is around, so don’t use it. There is nothing you can do about your temper. But if you are honest, Luo Cheng will sometimes take care of his neighbors.

First, I went out and took a look at the wild bird in the bamboo cage at the door. It was alive and well. It made a fuss when people approached it, but it ate when I fed it. If you keep it for a long time, you won't react like this when people approach you.

After luxuriously feeding him a handful of millet, Luo Cheng went directly to his neighbor's woodshed to get some firewood to boil water.

Originally, I just wanted to get some firewood. I didn't want to disturb my neighbors, so I just got it myself. But people nowadays get up early, and Luo Cheng can't avoid it, so there is a certain amount of movement. So the neighbor went out to see what the noise was outside. When he saw it was Luo Cheng pulling firewood from his house, he didn't say anything and nodded and smiled to signal Luo Cheng to do whatever he wanted.

"Old Zhang, get up and pull, come on, come to my house."

"Hey, here we come."

Luo Cheng didn’t know Lao Zhang’s specific name, but I just knew that his surname was Zhang, and Er Mao was his son. There is also an eldest son and a daughter in the family. Anyway, both husband and wife are honest and friendly people.

"Did you see that there is not much water in my water tank? You are very good at fetching water. Fill it up for me today. Give you an egg, and don't say that I, Luo Cheng, am taking advantage of you."

"Hey, don't worry, I'll fetch water for you later."

Luo Cheng nodded and put the egg in Lao Zhang's hand. There is a well not far from here. Everyone can use buckets to fetch water there. But Lao Zhang is easy to talk to. Luo Cheng used to go directly to his water tank to fill the water tank. Neighbor, why don't you use some water? Later, I simply asked him to help fetch water. It was not good to go to other people's homes all the time to save water.

But during the peak hunting season, Luo Cheng did take care of others before. Don't worry about who gets the best deal. This is a friendship between neighbors and cannot be calculated based on how much you pay.

One egg is enough for the old Zhang family to make egg drop soup. Eggs cost five or six cents each, but they are a good thing. The water tank in Luo Cheng's house is not big, so he really didn't treat Lao Zhang badly this time.
