Chapter 55 Nine to five

"Mom, old man, I'm back!" Fang Dajun shouted and walked into the dam. Although the villagers' homes had courtyards, the quality was very poor. They were smoothed with lime mixed with yellow sand. Once the rain washed, it would be uneven after a while. Then they were smoothed with lime. It can only be said that the feet in the dam were not muddy.

Only the glutinous yard of each production team is a cement dam, and only good things can be owned by the collective!

"It's good to come back. Go and wash your hands and prepare for dinner. Your old man went to the town to cut meat in the morning." The mother greeted happily, and the two sisters rushed over together.

Fang Donghua also ran back, but just now he was working in the private field behind as usual. Master Li, who was driving the ox cart, had already brought fifty kilograms of rice.

When his mother brought her two sisters into the kitchen, before his father could speak, he talked about the past two days. Of course, he had a choice, and despite this, he also shocked his father.

"Old man, look, this is the certificate I received, and there is a bonus of 100 yuan." He dared not falsely report this money. If someone from above comes to ask about it, and he lied about the amount, it would be a tragedy.

"Okay, okay, okay!" Fang Donghua said three good words in a row, and actually wiped his tears again. Then he solemnly pasted the certificate on the wall with rice soup. Next to Guanyin Bodhisattva, there was a portrait of the chairman on top of the Bodhisattva, and nine generals were posted one after another.

Seeing that his father was standing in front of the certificate and unable to move his feet for a long time, Fang Dajun wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and simply said, "Old man, I'll go into the house to clean up the things."

As a result, my father still didn't respond. The power of this certificate seemed to be a bit great!

As soon as he entered the house, he counted the money on his body, and there were more than 90 yuan left. Then he sorted out the things and went back to the peach house. The fourth sister had already brought the food in.

"Old man, I bought you a bottle of wine!" As he said that, he put the things on the table.

My father's Wuliangye, my mother's comb mirror, cooling oil, etc., my two sisters' study utensils and snacks, now the goods are single, so I really can't find any good things to buy. He was afraid that it would be inappropriate to buy clothes and shoes, so he didn't choose them, but these things alone cost more than eight yuan in total.

"Son, why did you buy so many things?" the mother asked in shock.

As a result, Fang Donghua immediately excitedly told him about the award and bonus. Only then did his father's excitement burst out, and his mother was also very excited, but the two sisters were excited for the gift.

The family had a lot of trouble for a while, but he still said he was hungry and then stopped.

During the meal, he talked about the bonus and handed over fifty dollars for his mother to save. He originally wanted to explain the purpose of the remaining money, but when he saw that his parents didn't ask him, he didn't say much. Now the matter of honeycomb coal is really hard to explain.

"Son, this wine is probably not cheap." Fang Donghua asked holding the cup.

"Old man, I'll drink it if I buy it for you. If I want to say the money, I won't be happy about it." Fang Dajun raised his voice. He felt a little distressed when smoking a pack of Chinese cigarettes of 181 yuan. If his father knew that the wine would cost 6.6 yuan, he would definitely not be willing to drink it.

"Okay, the old man doesn't ask." Fang Donghua said so, but in the end he only drank half a bottle.

"Old man, don't keep this wine for a long time. It will smell like it when it is opened. If you like to drink it, I will buy it for you in the future." Fang Dajun said for a while.

"Don't buy it. This bottle of wine is afraid of a dollar. Save money to buy meat." Fang Donghua said quickly.

――――――――

The next morning, he secretly gave two sisters five cents each, doubled the standard of pocket money. Before he could have breakfast, the skinny monkey came and wore new clothes and new shoes. Qin Da and Qin Er also came. The skinny monkey was going to the county, and one of the four bad friends was temporarily missing.

"Let's go to the commune together!" Fang Dajun greeted his parents, and didn't bother to have breakfast, so he followed the three of them and ran away.

The thin monkey left. He had never even studied in junior high school, but now he started his life in the county. I don’t know how many children he envied, but Fang Dajun felt that he had become a celebrity in an instant.

Not only were the children very polite to him, but even the adults greeted him enthusiastically, which made him want to change his career and open an agency, which specifically arranged jobs for the children. It’s true that this business is actually a big deal. After the reform and opening up, there are many jobs on the coast, uh!

Life continues. He goes to the vermicelli at 9 o'clock every morning, goes to the commune to collect eels at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and then finishes work at 5 o'clock and goes home on time. The standard nine-to-five-style life is like.

The fishing machines have increased to fifteen, equivalent to two per production brigade. The number has been saturated, and he has also made a noise that he will not be sold to the public.

The six additional fishing machines brought him ninety yuan in income. This time, there was no price reduction. Where did the carpenter and blacksmith each share ten yuan.

On average, whether it is eel or loach, he will be charged 15 cents per pound, and the money he earns is three-fifths or even three-quarters of Yang Chuntao. This is like robbing money. No wonder various intermediaries in later generations are so popular. In a broad sense, the matchmakers in the village are also considered intermediaries. This metaphor is a bit inappropriate, haha.

He had just finished collecting the eels that day and was about to go home, but was stopped by Wang Hongwen, "Dajun, how is the progress of the vermicelli field?"

"It is guaranteed to be completed before the end of the month!" Fang Dajun replied and followed it into the second floor office. The thin monkey has been away for three days. It is Thursday today, and it will be less than half a month before it can dig sweet potatoes.

"I heard from your aunt that you want to order something in the fire resistant site?" Wang Hongwen said and poured him a cup of boiling water, which was very stunning to have a long talk.

Fang Dajun thought about it and finally decided to say truthfully: "I plan to do honeycomb coal. I originally planned to find Secretary Wang to check it out. Now that you are asking, I will talk about my immature thoughts first."

"It turned out to be honeycomb coal. You are planning to order a fire-resistant stove. You can wait first. I have seen reports about honeycomb coal in the newspaper before." Wang Hongwen said, and then got up and searched in the cabinet. It was full of documents, newspapers, etc. that were placed neatly.

Fang Dajun was stunned. Unexpectedly, Wang Hongwen was so knowledgeable about this ravine. He just mentioned the signs that the other party could guess the rough and find information outside.

About seven or eight minutes later, Wang Hongwen said happily: "Well, Dajun, come and see, this is the Yanjing Daily in 1979, and the honeycomb coal is mentioned above."

In November 1979, Yanjing Coal Company researched and produced five inches in diameter, weighing 1,250 grams, 16-eye terminal honeycomb coal, 800 yuan per ton. It called on the people to actively adopt honeycomb coal for the sake of the country and to further cultivate the virtues of personal saving and cleanliness!

This is the general content in the newspaper. It introduces the benefits of honeycomb coal in detail, mainly starting from energy, expenses, hygiene, etc. The person who wrote this report is very professional, avoiding the important and describing the market prospects and development trends of honeycomb coal, and directly puts it on the moral commanding heights of "considering national interests".

"Secretary Wang, look at the report written on it, it shouldn't be illegal to manufacture honeycomb coal, right?" Fang Dajun asked.

Wang Hongwen smiled and said, "Of course it won't break the law. The capital is selling it, so you can naturally imitate it. When I read this report, I was still the leader of the corps team at Zizhong. At that time, there was no condition to organize everyone to make honeycomb coal. I forgot it after a long time. I didn't expect it to come up with you today."

Fang Dajun smiled and continued to look at the newspaper, and said happily: "There is also a contact address on it. I was just about to talk to Secretary Wang about purchasing equipment. I want the commune to come forward to buy the equipment of honeycomb coal. It would be even better if I could still purchase a tractor."

Wang Hongwen thought about it and then said: "It's no problem to purchase equipment. I can also approve notes, but it's difficult to sell."

"What do you mean?" Fang Dajun became confused.

"Do you want to be a collective or an individual?" Wang Hongda asked back.

"Individuals in the small group!" Fang Dajun replied quickly.
