Reborn in the red years, I am farming in space

Chapter 167 Going to the Countryside for Re-education
"Okay, I've been thinking about it for a long time, and I want to come to the countryside to have a look."

Ji Xuyuan said, "This old man has a premonition. Who is this?"

As he spoke, Ji Xuyuan pointed to Boss Zhou who was sitting beside him, and asked Luo Xuan.

Luo Xuan knew that Ji Xuyuan wanted to say something very important.

So, Luo Xuan turned towards Zhou Laoda, "Go to the kitchen and help the third sister-in-law cook. Tell the third sister-in-law to pop a few eels in a while, and I want to treat the old man to eat eel gouache .

Also, your second and third children, I sent them to Yi Yang's house to watch over Yi Yang for me, so you don't have to wait for them to eat.When you're done with your work, you should go home and help your father prepare for the wedding banquet tonight. "

"I'll give him a hammer—"

Just as Boss Zhou was about to utter a foul word, he caught a glimpse of Ji Xuyuan at the side, and Boss Zhou forced himself to swallow the words that followed, then got up and went out.

Ji Xuyuan smiled slightly, "In your production team, there is actually a wedding banquet tonight? Alright, I'll join in, too, to enjoy the happiness of the newcomers."

Luo Xuan laughed, "I'm afraid it's not new."

Ji Xuyuan was taken aback, then looked up and laughed, "So it's old furniture? That would be more interesting! I have nothing to do today, so I went to see it. This is a new-style wedding banquet in the production team."

Before liberation, Ji Xuyuan came into contact with people with relatively high levels.

At that time, the weddings and funerals he participated in, and the banquets of Xia Liba's family, were completely in the sky and underground.

At that time, the rich were flamboyant and the poor were heartbroken.

It’s all right now, the workers don’t talk about the farmers, there’s a little difference in living standards between the two, but it’s not too big, and everyone’s banquets are of the same standard.

It is nothing more than the difference between a table of dishes, whether it is a catty and a half of meat, or 1 taels of meat.

It's just that after entering the new society, Ji Xuyuan no longer has the qualifications and interest to attend other people's weddings and funerals.

He has to avoid suspicion.

Even sometimes, when he gave gifts to others, most of them would not dare to accept his things.

Instead, they would use various reasons to shirk the gift money and gifts that Ji Xuyuan sent over.

"The old man has a premonition."

Ji Xuyuan's face was calm, but his tone was dignified, "I always feel that my prospects are not good, very bad!"

Saying that, Ji Xuyuan stared at Luo Xuan with burning eyes, "Based on what you see, how should I deal with it?"

Luo Xuan stood up slowly, "Master Ji, you have traveled more roads than I have crossed bridges, and eaten salt."

Ji Xuyuan heheed, "I always eat lightly. Luo Xuan, don't tell me that I eat too much salt. Before liberation, the salt at Gongjing was taken over by the Guojun. Not a little bit of light."

Luo Xuan said with a smile, "It's good to eat light food, but I'm afraid I won't see it lightly, so I will hold on to the things around me. Let's go, let's go to the water powder!"

Ji Xuyuan is a smart person, what kind of storms and waves have he never experienced?

He has undergone major changes now, but in a short period of time, he is a little uncertain about the future in his heart.

When he understands the general situation, Ji Xuyuan will definitely make a wise choice.

There's no need to post it yourself, the radish seller follows the salt load, what a waste of time!

noon,

Uncle Zhang, Aunt Zhang, and Uncle Ding all ate rice mixed with corn dregs.

Then the dishes are stir-fried green vegetables with a little oil residue, and fried vermicelli with a little fat meat.

This dish is somewhat similar to ants climbing a tree.

It's just that the ants in the vermicelli are indeed relatively small, and their growth is a bit underdeveloped.

If you want to find them, you need to test your eyesight and use chopsticks.

This is the third sister-in-law. In order to save costs for Luo Xuan, she didn't dare to put too much meat.

As for Ji Xuyuan and Luo Xuan, they squatted under the eaves without any image, holding large bowls in their hands and sipping vermicelli.

Eel slices fried with lard and chili, added with fresh minced garlic and chopped green onion, it is very spicy to bite.

"A bowl of gouache, a hut, and a close friend are enough!"

Putting down the bowl, Ji Xuyuan sighed, "This life goes round and round, why do you come here? Now in the eyes of this old man, you can build two huts like you, raise a few chickens and ducks, farm every day, and fall asleep at night. Thinking is empty." Tai, peace of mind."

"Luo Xuan, after your new house is built, may these two bamboo houses be sold to me?"

Ji Xuyuan said, "Together with these chickens and rabbits, I will buy them for you too."

Luo Xuan held the empty bowl and shook his head.

"Why? Are you afraid that the old man won't be able to pay the price?"

Ji Xuyuan smiled and said, "Believe it or not, I can give you a price far beyond imagination, and the amount of money surprises you?"

How much money can surprise me?
Luo Xuan thought to himself: If you have seen a house that costs 5 yuan per square meter, you don’t know who is surprised!
No matter how rich you Ji Xuyuan is, at his peak, Ji Xuyuan's family property is probably only a few hundred thousand yuan, which is already incredible.

In future generations, this little money can buy a toilet.

only.

A dollar in this era is not the same concept as a dollar in later generations.

And it's hard to make a concrete comparison.

Agricultural and sideline products in this period are very cheap and worthless; labor wages are cheap and not worth much.

But the price of industrial products is very expensive!
For example, if you buy a pair of plastic slippers, the price is as high as 16 yuan!It takes more than half a month's salary for ordinary workers to afford a pair of imported plastic slippers.

And a "permanent brand" bicycle with 158 bars can be sold for at least [-] ​​yuan.

After all, at least one ordinary employee needs more than half a year's salary to afford a bicycle.

Therefore, if you always try to compare the money of this period with later generations, it will be a difficult data to compare intuitively.

For example: the lowest level of workers, the monthly salary is 21.5 yuan.

If you use it to buy food.

按照钱、粮票基本上等值计算，一斤粮食是1毛7分5一斤，加上粮票也算1角7分5的话，一斤粮食就是3毛5分钱。

Then his monthly salary can only afford 61 catties of grain.

Therefore, it is difficult to compare the purchasing power of the money of later generations with the money of this period.

Seeing Luo Xuan always shaking his head, Ji Xuyuan couldn't help feeling a little surprised.

So he opened his mouth again and said to Luo Xuan: "My old man sees that these two houses of yours are backed by mountains and facing water, where the wind gathers energy, the left side assists the right side, and the bright hall is open, it is really a place of geomantic omen.

That's why I decided to ask you to transfer these two bamboo houses to me for retirement. "

Luo Xuan still shook his head.

"500 yuan! I bought these two bamboo houses for you."

Luo Xuan still shook his head.

"800 bucks!"

Ji Xuyuan smiled and said, "How? I'm afraid you can't even spend 80 yuan to build these two bamboo houses? Are you satisfied with the price I gave you?"

Uncle Zhang, Aunt Zhang, and Peng Zhikun helped build these two bamboo houses.

Although I was very generous at the time, and I was in charge of cigarettes and meat, the cost did not cost 80 yuan.

I'm afraid I didn't even use up the 50 yuan.

Moreover, in this era, it is not easy to transfer the household registration from the city to the countryside; but conversely, it is extremely difficult to transfer the rural household registration to the city.

This is exactly the opposite of the later generations.

Therefore, if Ji Xuyuan wants to transfer his household registration to Zhengxing 6th team to settle down, it is actually very easy to do.

And once he moved his household registration, the production team would naturally allocate a homestead for him.

Just now Ji Xuyuan paid himself a sky-high price of 800 yuan. To put it bluntly, it is not a problem to build 10 such huts in the countryside with this money.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

There will be pie in the sky, but there will also be hail.

Ji Xuyuan, who is even smarter than the old fox, is buying a house for himself?
He is clearly spreading money!
He is changing his tricks and ruining his family property!

Maybe he had a premonition that if the wealth in his own hands was not scattered, it would definitely bring disaster to him!
It seems that Ji Xuyuan has already moved his mind: he wants to take the initiative to go to the countryside to receive re-education from the masses.

Instead of passive transformation in the future, it is better to ask for decentralization on your own initiative.
This old fox really has a keen sense of smell and profound morals!
It's just that although Ji Xuyuan paid a sky-high price, Luo Xuan still shook his head.This time, Ji Xuyuan was completely confused.
Seeing his puzzled face, Luo Xuan explained: "These two bamboo houses are actually not my private property. When the brick house over there is built, I will move there. And this house will be Hand it over to the production team.

At that time, this house will belong to the collective property of all members, and I have no right to dispose of it. "

What Luo Xuan said was true.

At the last meeting of all members, the cadres of the brigade department had already announced this in public, and now no one has the right to change it.

When Ji Xuyuan heard about it, he couldn't help showing a hint of disappointment on his face.

Why is it so difficult to throw money out?
Because when Ji Xuyuan "donated" his family's cloth dyeing workshop and Dongsheng shop, the state gave him a sum of compensation.

Although this amount of money is far lower than the value of the dyeing workshop and Dongsheng shop, it is still a considerable sum.

Ji Xuyuan wanted to throw money out.

Luo Xuan didn't want the money.

In the end, seeing that Ji Xuyuan was determined, he wanted to take root in the countryside and reinvent himself.

Luo Xuan asked Boss Zhou to take him to the brigade headquarters to report the situation and submit the application to the old branch secretary and Liao Brigade Captain.

Thus.

If the old secretary of the brigade and Captain Liao agreed to Ji Xuyuan's request, they would decide which family Ji Xuyuan should go to, let him stay for a few days, and arrange meals.

only,
In the 6th production team, there are only two families suitable for the old bachelor's family, Ji Xuyuan: one is Luo Xuan's family, and the other is Yi Yang's family.

Now, Yi Yang is almost like a living dead.

Thinking about it, in the end, the old branch secretary and Captain Liao would settle Ji Xuyuan into Luo Xuan's house for a temporary stay.

Before Boss Zhou left, Luo Xuan specifically told him: Even the old branch secretary and Captain Liao, put Ji Xuyuan in his own home.

Then let him hand over the food coupons and money for the meal, all these things, to the brigade department!
In the end, the brigade department will settle the settlement with itself.

In such a handover, between himself and Ji Xuyuan, there is no personal friendship, but a collective will.

Public to public, easy for everyone.

After finishing all this work, when Ji Xuyuan came back, Luo Xuan took him to the production team's compound to attend the wedding banquet of Uncle Zhou and Erniang Ye.

Uncle Zhou's house is narrow and cannot fit so many tables for banquets.

Therefore, this time the wedding banquet was not held in their "hut", but in the yard of the original landlord's house.

There are now more than a dozen families living in this courtyard.

Everyone used to come in and out of the compound.

Today, the second-hand Uncle Zhou is happy to marry the third-hand Ye Erniang, but many families in the yard are not listed in the invitation list.

——People who can live in the original landlord's house, if you think about it, you know that most of them will not be the kind of people who are financially well off.

Therefore,
The shrewd Ye Erniang and Uncle Zhou expected that they would lose money in inviting them, so they didn't send invitations to them.

Even if there are a small number of people who have already received the invitation, it seems that they have no intention of coming to the banquet.

Therefore, the gates of each house in the yard were closed, and all the houses were silent.

Only the wisps of cooking smoke coming out of their chimneys tell everyone: This family is burning fire for cooking!
