Riding the wind of rebirth

Chapter 44 New Year's Dinner
In the afternoon, I ranted against the boss again. Today's traffic was several times that of yesterday, and the turnover also jumped, which was more than three times that of the first day, breaking through [-] yuan!

On the third day, the same number!
On the afternoon of the third day of junior high school, Zhou Zhi gathered everyone together again: "In this work-study program, we sold more than 1000 balloons in three days, and the total turnover was [-] yuan and [-] cents."

"Deduct 30 yuan for meals for two days, 30 yuan for the principal of the balloon, 30 yuan for Brother Dayong's wages, 80 yuan for gas refills for Brother Zhao San, 680 yuan for the two-day bus fare for Brother Big Mao, and Guan Ting Ting's wages are ten yuan, and there is still one thousand six hundred and eighty three yuan and fifty cents."

"Oh—" everyone cheered.

"Don't worry, don't worry! I'm going to explain here! The principal of the balloon didn't need to be so high, but because of unskilled business, it broke a lot, resulting in a huge increase in cost."

"The rest will be useful for future class meetings and so on, so I don't bother to deduct them."

"Let's not talk about the hard work that Brother Dayong and Third Brother Zhao have had these two nights. They stayed up all night to work overtime for us. According to the principle of three times the overtime salary during the Spring Festival, and a little bit more, I think so much is appropriate."

"There is also the use of helium. We didn't spend any money, but it was Zhao Sange's favor, so we gave an extra fifty. Whether he used it to honor his old uncle, or withheld it himself, we don't care."

"The rest of Big Brother's fare is the market price. I think Guan Tingting will simply express it as an encouragement. Do you have any opinions on how to deal with it?"

Everyone was already on the verge of fainting with joy, and now their only focus was on sharing the money, so how could they have any opinions.

Zhou Zhi continued: "There is 680 yuan, 330 cents left, 330 yuan and [-] cents per person. I don't bother to find [-] cents for everyone. Even if I buy balloons for errands, each person will get [-] yuan!"

Don't underestimate the 330 yuan these days. Ordinary workers only earn forty or fifty yuan a month, which is equivalent to earning seven months' wages in three days!
The fourth set of renminbi reappeared in 50 yuan and [-] yuan, but they are rarely used now. The purpose of buying balloons is not to buy balloons, but to give change or find fault.

Therefore, Miss Wei Yi now has a thick stack of tickets in her hand, and she is counting the money while staring at her eyes: "This is not a work-study program, it is clearly a money grab!"

The appearance of Yang He and Wei Fei is not much better. Only Master Qiao has finally regained a sense of superiority. This year, he listened to his brother's command and really responded to Wu Gang's attack. He was at the bottom of the previous 300, and now it is more than [-] , huh huh, that's all...

After the winter and summer vacations, I can finally hand over the heavy responsibility of finding projects to the next one with confidence.

Retreating to the second line, I am so relieved...

Generally speaking, during the work-study program during the Spring Festival, everyone was very happy except that Mr. Qiao was a little regretful that he would not see Miss Sister in the future.

After everyone left, Zhou Zhi stretched out his hand to Yang He: "Here."

"What... What are you bringing?"

"Money in your pocket."

"Why?" Yang He stretched out his hand to cover the bag. This baby has never mastered so much money since he grew up: "Why?! It's not hot yet!"

"Where do you take it? It didn't take long for school to start. At that time, you have to pay two hundred schools of school fees to stay in school fees. Where can I put the rest?" Under the pillow? "

"There are still two and a half years left, why don't I let my mother save it for you." Zhou Zhi took out a small notebook: "This is for you to keep accounts, you and I one by one, we are all together when we make payments, and record them separately. "

"Don't worry." Knowing that it wasn't about stealing money, Yang He narrowed his eyes and showed a simple and satisfied smile.

Put away the books too: "My brother didn't ask for my money, so I need to add another seventy, and now I have four hundred in my pocket! Elbow, let me carry it for a while..."

After my mother returned home, she listened to Zhou Zhi's suggestion, refused it temporarily, and scolded him for being ignorant, saying that even so, she had to ask Yang and his parents, brother and sister-in-law for permission first.

For the sake of safety, grandma added a cloth bag to Yang He's underwear and sewed a bag of money inside. My good grandson, listen to your mother, at least take it back for Yang He and give it to my parents, brothers and sisters-in-law to see what the monk looks like. ability!
On the fourth day of the lunar new year, Yang He went home again, and made an appointment to come back on the sixth day of the new year, while Zhou Zhi's family went to the aunt's house in Zaolingqiao for New Year's dinner.

In the past, the family had to leave someone to take care of grandma, but now that they have a wheelchair, this is the first time the whole family has been out on the move in all these years.

But the aunt was so happy: "It's the first time for the ancestors to come to our house! This year is really a festival!"

"The year is here with you!" Grandma was also very happy: "You can also raise chickens and grow vegetables in this yard, which is better than Yuanjiang's place!"

Dad grew up here, and he is very familiar with the guests invited by his aunt, and chatted with everyone enthusiastically.

Among the people who used to live in this courtyard, except for the son of Aunt Liu who was pointed out by his father to call him "Uncle Navy" in the photo album, his father is almost the most powerful person who has gone out.

"Navy Uncle" has only seen photos of Zhou Zhi until now, and I heard that he works on a naval ship on Shandong Island, and his rank is already very high.

That is also the father's little boy, and just now his father asked Aunt Liu to inquire about his situation.

But in Aunt Liu's mouth, it was another matter.

This son, my mother only thought that she had given birth once, and after the age of 15, he returned to the state to raise him.

What is the country using it for? My mother can't control it, and the country won't let me ask.

Anyway, apart from sending money back every month, I only write letters occasionally, and even asking him to take a photo and send it back is a violation of discipline.

What a light Versailles!
Grandma and Zhou Zhi are now minor celebrities in the county, so they have received extra attention.

But Zhou Zhi still had business to do, so he took out 30 yuan and said, "Auntie, this is Brother Dayong's hard work for the past two days. I think he won't give it to you. It's better to hand it over to you."

"You earn so much in two days?" Brother Dayong is the squad leader, and his monthly salary can reach 30, [-] yuan, which is half a month's income.

He Dayong was helping to cook the chicken soup, and his aunt asked him to watch the fire. In fact, what is so interesting about the briquette stove? To put it bluntly, it didn’t do anything.
Zhou Zhi cast a look over, motioned him to shut up, and then handed twenty of the 30 yuan to the aunt, and ten yuan to the cousin: "Brother Dayong may be patient, that is, there is no chance, otherwise it would be more than 15 yuan a day! "

"The family heirloom knows how to coax your aunt. If you can earn 15 yuan a day, it will be more than 400 in a month." The aunt expressed disbelief: "The big cadres in the city can't earn so much!"

"Actually, you can try it if you have the chance." Zhou Zhi said, "Anyway, they also work in shifts at the water plant, so they have a lot of free time."

After finishing speaking, he whispered in Auntie's ear: "I will take a rest for two days, and spend the rest of the day hanging around with the green skins in the factory. Maybe one day I will cause trouble for you, Auntie."

"Ouch..." The aunt also said in a low voice, "Then you have to watch out for the aunt."

"Starting is not the solution, but let's talk about it later." After finishing speaking, he amplified his voice and said, "Brother Dayong has a sense of responsibility in doing things and a responsible person. Based on these two things, I feel that I can't make mistakes in the future!"

After speaking, he took out a beautiful plastic hairpin from his pocket: "Brother Dayong, Sister Xiaojuaner also helped us this time. This is a small gift from me. Remember to bring it to her."

In He Dayong's heart, being able to strike up a conversation with Xiao Juan'er is probably more important than harvesting 30 yuan. He snatched it away, and faced Ruo Pinghu with a thunder in his chest: "Yes."

Auntie knew that Zhou Zhi had grown up like a kid since he was a child, and she was saving face for herself. How could a mother not know what kind of virtue her son had?
But being able to get the money earned by his son's part-time job, he felt quite relieved: "Then let's start the banquet, everyone, let's take a seat!"

After finishing speaking, he said to his grandmother: "They are all soft and sticky, you must like the old ancestors, today is the seat of the table, and you must come to sit!"

Auntie relies on herself inside and out, at most she can find a few housewives next door to help, but there is nothing wrong with the three tables of big dishes.

Because it is mainly steamed vegetables, it was prepared last night and steamed early this morning.

This is the so-called "three steams and nine buckles" nine big bowls in the old days, with some cured meat, cold salad, and finally two stir-fried and seasonal vegetables.

The native chicken soup cooked slowly by the briquette stove is much richer than that cooked by the natural gas stove.

Because the minimum fire of the natural gas stove is too large.

So Wei Fei's family, Yang He's family, and Dagu's family could drink this chicken soup, but Zhou Zhi's family could not.

Last time at Wei Fei's house, he didn't dare to open his belly, now, there is no such restriction!

Now it is different from later generations, only one meal for the new year.

Because there are too many relatives and friends to arrange a meal, the next meal will go to another house.

Later, the circle of each family gradually became smaller, and then changed from one meal to two meals, basically eating lunch and dinner together, and playing in each house for a day.

After eating New Year's dinner at the aunt's house, Zhou Zhi pushed his grandmother again, and the family went to visit the fourth cousin.

The fourth cousin is also a strange person. The earliest family was a hunter in Gujing Township, and he often cooperated with the Miao people in Wutongchang to hunt.

In the old saying, this is called "driving the mountain craftsman".

Farmers who have this skill can live a good life around them, so the fourth cousin can finish the private school.

He also strived for success, and later was admitted to university, and later became the first director of education in Jiachuan.

The fourth cousin has three sons. I don't know if it is the inheritance of the Xueba gene, but they are all abroad now.

When the fourth cousin returned to Jiachuan and visited Gujing Township, he didn’t even know his aunt. There was a widowed sister-in-law in the third room of Gujing Township, who dragged five children with her. The fourth cousin couldn’t bear it, so he said to the widow : "Let me bring one for you."

In this way, the fourth cousin had an extra five-year-old daughter before she got married.

The fourth cousin is a sensible person. He knows that Chinese medicine is the same as Chinese studies, and he has to be nurtured from an early age, so he asked his daughter to worship Zhao Taiyi as a teacher.
