Traveling into the 1980s: A Cannon Fodder Female Supporter's Guide to Self-Rescue

It was a rare opportunity for the whole family to get together. Chang Zhirong, the old party secretary, and Qi Yulan were very happy, so they all chatted about household matters while working.

Mainly asking about Chang Wumo's situation in the transportation team and what happened to him during this trip.

Speaking of encounters, Chang Wumo did gain a lot this time out.

But no matter how hard you work, you will gain something. Of course, he needs to pay more for this.

Chang Wumo has a quick mind, and he seems to be indifferent to others in the team, just because he is not interested.

In fact, as long as Chang Wumo puts his mind to it, he can do anything better than others.

At that time, something happened to my family and I needed money, and there was a lot of it.

Chang Wumo had no choice but to go to the county town to find a way out, so he met Xu Dong.

It can be said that the two people did not know each other without fighting, but they later became close friends.

Chang Wumo learned to drive from Xu Dong, and he used to rely on him to help sell some mountain goods or bring back some good things from other places.

This time I didn't join the transportation team through Xu Dong's relationship.

Of course, thanks to Xu Dong, he was the one who told Chang Wumo that the transportation team was urgently recruiting people.

Then Chang Wu Mocai got in through the exam through connections, and was then sent to work with a senior master.

To drive a long-distance train, at least two drivers need to take turns driving, and they need to take turns to rest on the way.

The old rule of the transportation team is that the master leads the apprentice, and then the two of them set off together.

Chang Wumo relied on his ability. As soon as he joined the transportation team, he recognized the most capable Comrade Shen as his master, and then followed him to run the route in southern Guangdong Province.

He was good at telling stories and had a sweet mouth, so Comrade Shen liked him very much and taught him all his years of work experience without any secret.

That's why Chang Wumo had such a rich harvest this time. It was also the first time for Qi Yulan to see this sea fish.

Not only is the fish body large and there are few fish bones, but they have never seen such a backing place before.

The fish is picked out and marinated first, but the bone soup needs to be simmered first. The bone soup needs to be simmered slowly over low heat to make the best tasting and most nutritious bone soup.

Chang Wuwen and Cao Dahua helped together, so Qi Yulan quickly put away a few dishes.

Stew the bone soup here, pack the fish over there, and steam it in the pot just before eating.

Chang Wumo was also restless. He knew that there would be a lot of water at home today, so he and his brother carried buckets on poles to the well to fetch water.

Although there is a river in the Harvest Brigade, the water in it is not very clear, so in the early years, the successful old people in the team advocated digging wells.

Moreover, two wells were dug, one at the east end and the other at the west end of the production team, to make it easier for nearby families to access.

It just so happened that the well Chang Wuwen and Chang Wumo were going to was not close to Lao Jiang's house.

It was also because Jiang Daqiang was already used to that job. Otherwise, Chang Wuwen could often help the two of them carry water without Jiang Tang having to ask.

His wife is now keen on helping the third aunt of the Jiang family with work. She often runs there after finishing the work at home.

It happened to be because he had to finish the work at home before going there, otherwise, his mother would have to beat his wife to death.

Chang Wuwen didn't want to lose his wife at such a young age, nor did he want Niuniu to lose her mother at such a young age.

On the way back from carrying water, Chang Wuwen suddenly said: "Second brother, go back and help me tell my mother that Dahua is not sincere and she is helping the family."

…………

Chang Wumo looked confused. He wouldn't answer this because he didn't know what happened.

However, the eldest brother’s face didn’t look very good, so he nodded seriously.And when they got home and poured all the water into the big water tank at home, Chang Zhirong, who had been smoking next to them, suddenly spoke.

"Xiao Er, did you suffer anything when you went out this time?"

Chang Zhirong used to smoke dry cigarettes. Even if he was an old party secretary, his family didn't have the conditions.

Only when going to commune meetings, the leaders would have cigarettes, and some would even have cigarettes.

And this time when the waiter came back, the best gift he brought back to his father was a pack of cigarettes, the kind with handles.

It looked very high-end, and Chang Zhirong felt that it was stronger than the cigarettes smoked by commune leaders.

Originally, he wanted to keep it for the Chinese New Year, but the waiter persuaded him: "Dad, I bought this just for you to smoke."

So Chang Zhirong carefully opened the cigarette box and took out a cigarette. Of course, he chose to ignore the look of the boss next to him who was very coveted.

Just kidding, this is a son's duty to honor his father. Wouldn't he want his daughter to buy it?

It was already late when Chang Wumo came back yesterday, and he was in a hurry to meet his partner, so he didn't have much to do with his family.

Today Qi Yulan was busy cooking a big meal, but Chang Wuwen was careless. At this moment, Chang Zhirong saw his two sons entering the house together and quickly discovered the problem.

After not seeing him for a while, Xiao Er not only looked darker but also lost a lot of weight, and his hands also had a lot of calluses.

Anyway, the whole person looked a lot rougher. Chang Zhirong looked at it and felt very uncomfortable.

Outsiders only think that being a long-distance freight driver is a good job, but Chang Zhirong, who travels frequently, knows that this is not the case.

The drivers of the transportation team not only have to drive, but also need to do hard work.

Especially outside, when pulling goods back and forth, the driver is basically responsible for moving, carrying, and unloading the goods.

Chang Wumo drove out with Comrade Shen. He was a master who was older than him and had more working experience than him. He also had better driving and repair skills than him.

Naturally, Chang Wumo did all this hard work alone.

In the past, such a fair and handsome young man was at the front of the entire harvest brigade, but now he is the type that makes those aunties absolutely feel distressed when they see him.

Dark, rough, and looking very thin.

As a result, he saw that his father was not in a good mood. He was not going to cry, right?

Chang Wumo couldn't bear this sensational scene and hurried back to his room to carry out a big bag.

Most of his things were taken out, mainly food and items for home.

But the gifts for everyone in the family were actually still in Chang Mo's room.

"Dad, brother, let's see what good things I bring back for you."

Chang Zhirong's face was relatively calm, but Chang Wuwen was already very excited.

Speaking of which, it seems that this is the first time I have given him a gift since I have grown up to be such a young boy. I don’t know what good things to give him.

In the end, Chang Wumo took out two military water bottles from the big bag and said, "Dad, brother, these are for you to drink water."

Next time, if I have a chance, I will make a thermos cup for his father so that he can look very stylish when he goes out for meetings.

Chang Wumo also saw that his master had used it, but it was not easy to buy, so he would just buy two kettles for the time being.

The average team member is tired and thirsty while working outside, so they just go to the river or the ditch at the edge of the field and drink the water with their hands.

According to Jiang Tang, this behavior is unhygienic and can easily cause harm to the body.
