Chapter 580 Workers on the River, Digging Turtles, and Eating Hot Pot(1/2)
Many members of the club came here, and they all came to listen to the radio.
In this era, people don't have mobile phones, and there are no entertainment items. There are also very few radios. Everyone can't sleep at night. Apart from chatting and talking nonsense, there are no other entertainment items.
Liu Chen brought the radio, and everyone was very excited. They all came over to listen. Many people even said that they had finished listening to the radio and were collecting money to buy batteries. Everyone was very happy.
Not only people from Liu Chen's team, but also many members from other groups came over. There were people from three floors inside and three floors outside. Many people gathered around, and they kept hearing about ten o'clock.
The next day, everyone still got up very early, and Liu Chen also admired them. These people were quite impressive, their eyes were all swollen, and they were still so excited.
Liu Chen changed into his rubber shoes and put on his gloves. Liu Jiangang and others were envious. This thing is a good thing. Most people can't afford it. They have good family conditions, and there are some wealthy leaders and cadres.
She can only afford to wear it, and other children can only envy her.
Many young members of the commune looked at Liu Chen. Sure enough, those who worked in the health center were different from those who ate commercial food. They were not here to do anything with this style. They were clearly here for inspection.
"Dad, why don't you wear it? Didn't I bring it for you?"
"I don't want to wear them. I'll keep those good things. Just these thousand-layer cloth shoes your mother made for me." Liu Jiefang really couldn't bear to wear them, so he might as well keep these good things for the New Year.
"Oh, Dad, this is comfortable to wear. I will buy it for you during the Chinese New Year."
No matter what Liu Chen said, Liu Jiefang was still reluctant to wear it.
"Dad, you don't wear rubber shoes, you wear safety shoes."
At Liu Chen's repeated request, Liu Jiefang had no choice but to wear a pair of protective shoes.
Liu Chen saw his father wearing protective shoes, and then smiled and nodded.
That pair of cloth shoes is wet. How can I wear these wet cloth shoes? They are uncomfortable to wear. Besides, it wouldn’t be good if I catch a cold, right?
"Ah Chen, your shoes are so good." Erniu also ran over, looking at the shoes on Liu Chen's feet with envy.
"Want it?"
"Nonsense, who doesn't want it?"
"If you want to make things easier, if you have any soft-shell turtles you can keep for me while we are digging the ditch, I will buy you eight soft-shell turtles and twenty kilograms of eels."
"Okay, as you said, this is no problem."
"There's me, there's me."
Liu Jiangang and Hu Zi also came excitedly.
"Well, don't talk nonsense, you are the only ones who know this."
"I also want a pair of protective shoes."
"Give me another pair of socks."
"Okay, I understand, you can just get it."
After listening to what Liu Chen said, everyone was very excited. When they were working, no one cared about the water below, and they all scrambled to dig out the mud below.
Everyone was very energetic and caught a lot of turtles, loaches and eels in the whole morning.
Liu Chen actually knew that there were turtles in the mud. In this era, turtles, loaches and eels were not popular with people, and not many people ate them, mainly because they were too fishy.
Some people don't care when they see these people staying, and just turn a blind eye.
"Ah Chen, look, I got a lot of things this morning. I used a few cigarettes and asked several people to look out for soft-shell turtles and eels. I got a lot." Liu Jiangang looked at it with a smile.
Written by Liu Chen.
This guy was quite smart, and he actually came up with some ideas. He found several young people, spread smoke for them, and asked others to keep an eye out for turtles and eels.
When Youdi was working here, many women saw Youdi wearing new gloves and new rubber shoes, and they were all jealous.
"Youdi, you are so lucky. You have such a powerful brother. Look, the clothes are really nice. Only the children of leaders in the city can afford to wear them. They are really nice."
"It's okay, my little brother got it all."
Not to mention how happy Youdi was when she was praised, she was full of energy and ran around all day long.
"Don't you know? Youdi's brother is still working in the county hospital. His salary is forty yuan a month. It's normal to buy a pair of rubber shoes."
"What? Youdi, your brother works in the county hospital? Oh my god, this is amazing."
"Now I not only work in the county hospital, but also in the health center, and the school also provides teacher training. After a month, my salary is 90 yuan."
When many members here heard that Liu Chen's salary was ninety yuan a month, their eyes widened and almost popped out of their eyes.
Oh my god, ninety yuan a month, isn't it more than a thousand yuan a year? They were really envious, how much money did Liu Chen earn in one year?
They are now working on the river, and their work points are 12 points a day, while women only earn 10 points. How many years do they have to work to earn one year's worth of money, let alone one year's money? It takes one year for them to earn one of Liu Chen's.
A month's worth of money was earned by the whole family together. In some cases, the whole family could not earn Liu Chen's money in a month even if they worked for a year.
There are many aunts, aunts, and girls who don't have a partner here. They all come close to Youdi, and they all want to ask Youdi if he has a partner?
"No, his little brother has no partner." Big-mouthed Aunt Li said with a smile.
"Really? Youdi, that's great." There were several aunts, and the aunt was very excited.
Youdi curled her lips and thought, that's right, what's the point of my little brother not having a partner?
Youdi just smiled. Although I don’t have a partner, if I am so good now, the partners he will have in the future will also be great. Anyway, these girls do not meet the standards of a sister-in-law.
Youdi thought to herself that her future sister-in-law would be from the city and have formal jobs, and none of them would be worthy of her brother.
As soon as Aunt Li finished speaking, many aunts and aunts from other teams came over to inquire about Brother Youdi's preferences, his criteria for choosing a mate, etc., and they asked each one in detail.
On Liu Chen's side, after the team leader knew Liu Chen's ability, he was really flattering. He was afraid that Liu Chen would be tired and the work arranged for Liu Chen would be easy.
In this way, after working until the evening, Liu Chen was so tired that his whole body ached and his hands had a few blisters.
Liu Chen thought to himself, it would be better to work in the health center. It would be too tiring.
It’s okay to be tired, but I still haven’t eaten enough. The main reason is that I didn’t eat well. The steamed buns and other things I brought yesterday have already been shared by several people in the team. It’s really uncomfortable to go to bed hungry.
Liu Chen thought to himself, this living person cannot starve.
Liu Chen here called Liu Jiangang, Er Niu, Hu Zi and a few others, thinking that he had to get some food.
"A Chen, why didn't you bring your hot pot? There are fish and eels here. Make some hot pot and eat it. It's really delicious."
Liu Jiangang said while smashing the bar.
Liu Chen thought about it. It was very uncomfortable to go to bed hungry. No matter what, he made some hot pot.
Liu Chen rode his motorcycle and brought home some of the soft-shell turtles and eels that everyone dug during the day, and then brought the hot pot.
"Achen, I'll go back and get it with you." Huzi said with a smile.
"Let's go together."
Liu Chen rode his motorcycle and went back quickly.
"A Chen, why are you back?"
Wang Mudan looked at Liu Chen. She had only been there for a day, and she felt like she was tanned. She asked distressedly: "A Chen, you'd better come back. Stop doing this. Look at you, you're already tanned."
"It's okay, Mom, look at how many turtles and eels I got."
Wang Mudan looked at Liu Chen, no wonder her son was going to work on the river. It turned out that he had an idea.
During this time, everyone was busy making tiger pillows and fur nests, and we couldn't harvest the soft-shell turtles and eels. We could collect some.
"Okay, you can take care of it yourself anyway, just pay more attention to safety."
Here Wang Mudan brought some steamed cornmeal buns and some meat and stir-fried cabbage.
Here Liu Chen has packed up the copper hot pot and brought the condiments, and also brought a thermos bottle. The hot pot will be delicious later.
I also brought a lot of cabbage and radishes, some vermicelli, and a lot of noodles. Most importantly, I brought a Damascus knife. This is a good thing and will be of great use later.
Liu Chen also brought some lice-killing spirit. Last night, he laid some straw and reeds underneath. Although they were all new, there were so many lice that Liu Chen didn't sleep well all night, so it would be better to bring them with him.
I also brought some distilled wine, medicinal wine, plasters, etc., so that I can use them later in the evening when I treat everyone.
After bringing everything, we quickly arrived at the construction site.
"Ah Chen, you're here. Look, I've already taken care of this black fish."
"I also stole some lotus roots and washed them."
"There are also cabbages and radishes here. I even brought some back."
Liu Chen looked at Liu Jiangang, Er Niu, Liu Jiantao, Liu Hongwei and others, which made him eat a lot.
Liu Chen brought the turtles, eels, etc. that he had just processed.
Everyone was so excited when they saw Liu Chen bringing a lot of things.
"Captain Liu, Liu Huiji, how did you know?"
Liu Chen was still very careful when doing things. Captain Liu and Liu Huiji saw them at some point and came over.
"You guys, I knew you were up to no good even if I didn't see you. No, I followed you just now, and I saw you cooking other people's food." Captain Liu took a puff of cigarette and stared at Jiangang.
said.
Everyone's heart dropped and they thought, it's over. Captain Liu knows about it and most likely won't be able to eat it.
