I am many years in the courtyard

Chapter 12, Eight Cents Mantou

When the Golden Crow rose from the east, the Jade Rabbit had escaped from the land of dreams for many years.

On a new day, of course I went fishing.

Xu Wumei, the little girl, sat at the door with Xu Xiaoqian and the others early in the morning.

Also waiting for many years are Yan Bugui at the opposite door, and two brothers Liu Guangtian in the backyard.

Yesterday, many years of fishing was sold for more than ten yuan, which deeply stimulated everyone.

That's why everyone got up early in the morning and waited, saying what they said would follow many years later, he ate meat, and everyone drank soup.

Not too much, right?

In this regard, I have eaten breakfast for many years and said, you are too much.

"His third uncle, are you still going fishing today?"

Seeing that many years put down the dishes and was about to get up and leave, the second sister-in-law Fan Zhaodi asked.

If today can still be like yesterday, then that brat in her family can also get twenty cents.

Two cents a day, a few days of praise, is worth a day's wages of her man.

Old Xu, father and son, are all workers in the rolling mill, but, except for Lao Xu himself, who is a second-level worker, the eldest and second child are only first-level workers.

These days, the salary of a first-level worker is basically around 32 yuan.

For second-level workers, it is about 37 yuan.

And the monthly food and drink for a whole family does not cost much, only about 40 yuan.

However, the old Xu's family really has no money.

A few years back, the work of the second child cost more than 1000 yuan to buy a place.

In the past few years, several children in the family have spent a lot of money on medical treatment, Zhou Hongmei's medical expenses, etc.

Therefore, the old Xu family only paid off those foreign debts last year, and now they don't have much savings at all.

If you want to buy a house, you may have to wait a few more years.

As for his own money for many years, Lao Xu and the others didn't bother.

"No, I'm going to go to the street office to ask if my job is done."

Xu Xiaoqian publicized the matter yesterday, how could he go fishing directly today?

Isn't that just looking for trouble?

It is estimated that in the outskirts of Beijing at this moment, those rivers are full of fishermen, right?
what?
Everyone was astonished, but they had been away for many years, so they had to keep their doubts in their stomachs.

At the door, seeing that many years were about to go out, Xu Wumei and the others followed with a wooden bucket and dustpan.

And Yan Bugui also appeared 'coincidentally'.

"Why are you following me? I'm not going fishing now, I'm going to the street office to ask about my work."

what?
Yan Bugui was astonished, his expression changed drastically.

Even Xu Wumei and the others were astonished, but they still followed.

Anyway, even if you have a job, you won't go to work today, right?

In this case, after asking about work, go fishing.

For many years, Yan Bugui glanced at him, but the latter hurriedly dodged without saying hello, and turned back to the house.

Walking out of the courtyard, the two brothers Liu Guangtian were already squatting.

After seeing it, he hurriedly followed.

In addition to the two of them, there were other children from neighbors who followed behind.

Don't dare to make a big fortune, who wouldn't want to make a small fortune?

However, everyone followed, dumbfounded.

Because, for many years, it went directly to the street to do it.

Damn, you can't go fishing in the street, can you?

In the office, I have seen Director Wang for many years.

Finding a job these days is hard.

High school students or above are basically assigned by the state, and those who have retired from the army also have work arrangements.

However, many years before retiring, he was a platoon-level officer. Even if he was downgraded and hired after retiring, he would be arranged according to the rank of squad leader instead of the deputy platoon.

Compared with the administrative level, that is level 23, with a monthly salary of 50 yuan.

However, such a job is not easy to arrange.

After all, one radish and one pit, how could it be so simple?
Director Wang looked embarrassed and could only wait for many years.

But well, the food and other things can be done first. Anyway, the general level will not change. If there are differences at that time, just adjust it.

After receiving the approval letter from Director Wang, it took many years to leave the sub-district office.

When they came out, Liu Guangtian and his group of brats had disappeared.

"Come on, let's go fishing."

Xu Wumei and the others immediately cheered happily.

But when I went to the bus station, I saw people who asked the breakfast shop directly for many years and bought ten big steamed buns.

"Third brother, why are you spending so much money? If your parents find out, they will definitely say that you are a prodigal."

Looking at the big snow-white steamed buns, Xu Wumei and the others were drooling, but they still couldn't help persuading them.

These steamed buns are not cheap, they cost eight cents each, and food stamps are needed.

After many years of preparation, I took out a clean cloth from my trouser pocket and wrapped the steamed buns.

"We won't go home for lunch. Isn't fishing to make money just to eat better? If you don't tell me, how could parents know?"

In the past few days at home, I have been eating steamed buns. It's not that it's not delicious, but I'm not used to it.

Last night, he finally ate a meal of pickled fish, but he couldn't escape Zhou Hongmei's lecture.

Now he is the biggest and can buy whatever he wants.

With a big steamed bun in hand, the soft and glutinous taste is not to mention delicious.

The three little guys are divided into two steamed buns, one for each of the two brothers and sisters.

"Come when you're full and work hard when you get there, do you hear me?"

In the end, Xu Wumei was almost overwhelmed, but she couldn't kill the steamed bun.

The rest was eaten by Xu Xiaoqian and her three siblings.

Then, when he got on the bus, he paid another forty-five cents, which made Xu Wumei's flesh hurt unceasingly.

It's all money!

Calculated in this way, so much money has already been spent before the catch is caught. If the catch is not good today, will it be a loss?

Bah, bah, bah, my crow's mouth.
Xu Wumei thought a lot, but was quickly taken away by the novel experience of taking the bus.

Soon, the group of them came to the Yongding River in the suburbs. After many years, they were relieved that there were no people around here.

If he went to Guangning or Xiaoqinghe yesterday, he would be designated as people at this moment.

After arriving at the place, I began to arrange everyone to work for many years.

He and his younger sister did the heavy work of catching loaches, small fish and shrimp with a dustpan, while Xu Xiaoqian and the other three little guys chopped up small fish and shrimp to prepare for fishing.

At the same time, small water holes need to be dug to ensure the freshness of the catch.

In the hot summer season, if the catch is not kept, it will definitely stink in the afternoon.

Then it is to hook on the hook, make a fish nest, and start fishing.

Not to mention, with the addition of Xu Wumei, the efficiency is much higher than yesterday.

After one morning, the small puddle was immediately full.

In this day and age, there are so many fish in the river.

It is estimated that in the 80s and [-]s, the popularity of electric fish and other tools will make the fish in the creeks and rivers suffer.

"Third brother, with so many fish, aren't we prosperous today?"

Xu Wumei was very excited, her little face was full of pink, and she didn't know if it was because she was too happy or was exposed to the hot sun.

"Sister-in-law, how much is this? We were there yesterday"

Xiaoqian was bragging and showing off again, and she was slapped on the back of the head by her third uncle: "The plastic bottles are all dropped, don't you know if you bite the hook?"
