Catch the Mountain 1985

Chapter 292 The Future Way Out

While Li Cuihua was talking, she came to the edge of the kang and sat with Wang Xiufen, while Zhao Decai sat on the edge of the kang. Naturally, Zhao Chunming went to the edge of the kang with Zhang Peng, ready to hear what he thought.
"Brother, have you told your sister-in-law about this?" Zhao Decai said to Zhang Tiejun.
"Well, I've already talked about this matter, but I haven't elaborated on it yet." Zhang Tiejun said to Zhao Decai, then took the dustpan containing cigarettes and placed it next to Zhao Decai.
"Okay, let's talk about this." Zhang Tiejun saw that everyone had gathered and said to them.
Unexpectedly, it was Li Cuihua who spoke first.
"Sister-in-law, let me tell you, if this doesn't work, let's just give some gifts. Although I'm new here, it's not surprising that I don't have many gifts. What do you think?"

"Then how much should I give?"

"I think it's enough to give you a good leather bag first, right? That's worth a hundred or so yuan."

After Li Cuihua thought about it, she felt that what she said was reasonable, and she became more determined.
"I think what Cuihua said makes sense. If it doesn't work, why don't we try giving some gifts?" Wang Xiufen heard Li Cuihua's words and thought it was feasible. This should be a safer method.
"I won't go. De Cai and I have said this before we came back. We only earn the same amount of salary every month. If we are given too much, we are not suitable. If we are given less, others will look down on us even more." Zhang Tiejun heard Wang Xiufen's words and said quickly.
"Then what are you going to do? You can't really fuck your shoulders, right? At your age, you've never done it before, and you're not a young man with your body type anymore. If you keep doing it like this, everyone will be useless. Yes." Wang Xiufen became angry when she heard Zhang Tiejun's words, and then scolded her.
"De Cai, what do you think?" Zhang Tiejun was a little frightened when he saw Wang Xiufen's full firepower, so he strategically shifted his target.
Zhao Decai was listening carefully next to him, but suddenly the topic changed and he was also taken aback.
"Brother, sister-in-law, don't be anxious. Aren't we all discussing this? I still haven't thought about it. It's not easy to have an iron job these days. If I were a young man in my 20s, this matter wouldn't be considered. What's wrong, but if I do heavy physical work now, I can't bear it." Zhao Decai also took a deep breath of cigarette, and then silently expressed his opinion.
Everyone could see that Zhao Decai was quite torn between this "iron rice bowl" and the fact that his body might not be able to bear it, so he was hesitant about what to do.
As soon as Zhao Decai finished speaking, the room fell silent for a moment. Zhao Decai and Zhang Tiejun lowered their heads and smoked, while Wang Xiufen and Li Cuihua also lowered their heads and remained silent.
Seeing this situation, Zhang Peng was also a little speechless. What is there to worry about? The little money he makes now will be like this when he gets old, and there won't be any big changes. In this case, for That little pension is just not worth it.
"Dad, Uncle Zhao, I don't think there's anything to think about. If we really change the position, it won't be interesting. It's better to go out and do something else as soon as possible, which is better than getting tired and getting into trouble." Zhang Peng He said to the two of them on the edge of the kang.
Zhang Tiejun and Zhao Decai were silent for a moment when they heard Zhang Peng's words. In this era, the idea of ​​an iron rice bowl is deeply rooted and will not be overturned so easily.
"That's right, Dad, you see, if we go out once, as long as we hit something, it will be thousands of dollars. It's almost as long as you have in a year, so what else do you think about it?" Zhao Chunming also said. He said helpfully next to him. Although he didn't think too clearly, it still didn't affect his support for Zhang Peng's idea.
"Get out of here, you hit it, what if you can't? This is God's job of giving food to you, what else do you think it is." Zhao Decai also scolded Zhao Chunming after hearing what Zhao Chunming said.
He listened to Zhang Peng's words a little bit. Besides, Zhang Tiejun didn't say anything since he was not his son, so he didn't say anything. But Zhao Chunming's words made him a little angry. What he said is obvious to you. right?Although we earn less, we still support you, and where do we put our dignity as fathers?
"Xiaopeng, we also know what you are saying, but there is no good way to make a living at this time. We can't go up the mountain. Even if we go up the mountain, this is a short-term livelihood. We rely on the sky to make a living. How can we have such stability?" Zhao Decai also turned to Zhang Peng and said, but his tone was slightly gentler.
"Uncle Zhao, let me ask you, first of all, the current situation is in front of you. Even if you are embarrassed and give a gift, let's talk about whether they can accept it. Even if you accept it, is it worth it?" Zhang Peng saw it. Zhao Decai said this and asked rhetorically.
"Why isn't it worth it? It will be stable later." Zhao Decai also looked at Zhang Peng with some confusion, wanting to hear his thoughts.
"Let me do the math for you. You will earn nearly 3000 yuan for the whole year. It must be said that the salary at our forestry farm is higher than other places, but the expenses throughout the year are basically not enough. What's wrong?" After Zhang Peng finished speaking, he also looked at Zhang Tiejun and the others. If he didn't say anything, he would have acquiesced to what he said.
"It will take at least ten years until you retire. I will definitely not give you so much money when you retire. And can we keep cutting down like this? There will definitely be some changes. If so, what do you think? does it worth?"

After Zhang Peng finished speaking, he stopped and let them react for a while. After all, what he said was a bit ahead of his time and had to be digested by them.
"Who did you listen to when you said there should be a change at the end?" Zhao Decai also asked Zhang Peng with interest.
"I heard this from Uncle Cui during the Chinese New Year. He said that he heard it from his comrades. Why else would he jump out?" Zhang Peng knew that it was not easy to make them believe it, so he also told him. A white lie.
"Ah? Satellite said it. Why didn't he tell me?" Zhao Decai was a little confused when he heard Zhang Peng's words.
"You didn't have any accidents at that time. He told you to make you panic. Why bother?" Zhang Peng also said in an adaptable manner.
"If you say so, there is some possibility. The satellite is more reliable. Is it really popular?" Zhao Decai also said with some doubts.
"That's why I said, uncle, you can't lock yourself down. There's nothing wrong with going out and doing other things, and you can be more free, and your life won't be worse than it is now, plus we all Now that I'm older, I can supplement my family's expenses, so there's nothing to be afraid of." Zhang Peng saw that Zhao Decai's thoughts were a little loosened, and he said hurriedly.
"Brother, what Xiaopeng said makes sense. I think if it doesn't work, you can give it a try." Zhao Decai listened to Zhang Peng's words and then said to Zhang Tiejun.
Zhang Tiejun listened carefully to the conversation between the two throughout the whole process. He also felt that if it was true as Zhang Peng said, this iron rice bowl would not be so iron and could be easily broken, so he felt that in his heart I kept thinking over and over again, what should I do?
