Era: Start as a buyer

Luo Cheng came out of the office building at noon with an envelope in his pocket. Inside were the remaining payment for goods and new funds for disposal, totaling more than eight hundred, and the envelopes were bulging. It was really a huge sum of money in this era.

Luo Cheng was also upset because he had too much money. In this era, money really couldn't be used much without tickets. There is not much money that can be carried into the future era, and what can be carried into the past must be dealt with slowly.

Gold cannot be carried to the future era, but gold does not require ticket purchase. After thinking about it, Luo Cheng felt that he was not smart enough, or that there were some things that he might not have thought of.

Luo Cheng felt that it would be good to leave this issue to people in the future era. In the future era, many TV series and novels are popular with time-travel elements. There are even time-travelers asking for help, that is, various people fantasize about time-traveling, set some restrictions for themselves, and let other interested people come up with solutions.

Now that Luo Cheng is facing such a situation, he feels that he can turn to netizens in the future era for help.

At noon, the canteen of the machinery factory serves scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and each employee can only order one dish. Everyone in the factory went to get food, and everyone was very happy. Most of the people who got a portion of the food only had a little bit of flavor and kept it to take home for their families and children.

When Luo Cheng left the factory gate, he saw his colleagues in the factory smiling happily because they had a good dish. He felt that it would be meaningful to bring these supplies from the future.

When I got home, the meal was ready, and I was still at home. In the town, Luo Cheng still secretly brought some food from the future era, but he didn't want to light a fire alone.

"Luo Cheng, let me tell you something. Two days ago, Section Chief Li brought a man over and bought some malted milk at home. He gave him fifty yuan and said that his daughter-in-law had no milk and the baby was only one month old. big."

"Feeding malted milk to children? Section Chief Li didn't tell me this morning."

"You must have thought that I told you. I said before that if the child didn't drink the malted milk, I would return it. Now that I haven't returned it, it should be for the child to drink."

"Okay, I'll ask Section Chief Li this afternoon. Can this malted milk be used as milk powder? Forget it, I'll go see Section Chief Li this afternoon and let's eat."

"One more thing. I told Hong Xiu at the station a few days ago that he could arrange a sanitation job for Yanzi for twelve yuan a month. We didn't let Yanzi go immediately. We were just waiting for you to come back to make up your mind."

Twelve yuan a month is nothing to Luo Cheng. He is now asking everyone in the town to help him, and the money given to him is certainly not as high as that of a regular employee. People would think it was abnormal if the offer was too high, but Luo Cheng planned to give fifteen yuan a month to help.

However, earning twelve yuan at the station has different meanings than earning more than ten yuan working for him. In fact, even casual and temporary workers will not be fired casually in this era. It's just that he can't be transferred to a formal job, his household registration is still in the countryside, and he can't eat rations.

In the future, if you pay attention to information about temporary workers, you will see people who have worked in state-owned enterprises for decades, only to find out after retirement that they are just temporary workers with no official establishment. This may be due to some negligence, but it also illustrates a problem. As long as temporary workers and casual workers in Luo Cheng's era do not make mistakes, apart from low wages and few benefits, they can still have stable jobs.

And the most important point is that Luo Yan will get married sooner or later. If she marries in a rural area, Luo Cheng thinks that if her brother-in-law is not able to marry well, he can just bring some help.

But Luo Cheng has been in the future era for a year, and his thinking has changed somewhat. If it were him in the past, he would definitely have arranged it according to his own wishes. As long as it's good for them in Luo Cheng's eyes.

But now Luo Cheng's thinking is different. Even if he is good to others, he will respect their own choices. For example, if you work with yourself, you can earn fifteen yuan, but if you work by yourself, you can only earn twelve yuan. However, the description of this job is different. There is no official explanation for working with Luo Cheng. But if you work in other places, if others ask, at least there is an employer.

"Yanzi, let's do this. If you go to work at the station, you are actually there so that I can get some supplies. If you really want to work, I will go to my factory to ask about it this afternoon. If you want to do sanitation, my factory Maybe you need it here. If I can't handle it in the factory, you can go work over there at the station. If you can get into the machine factory, at least I'll be here and can take care of you."

"Thank you brother, I listen to you."

When Luo Yan heard what Luo Cheng said, she naturally had no objection. She just wanted to work and escape the fate of rural people. She had no choice before, and there was no one at the station to talk about it, and she had no idea of ​​struggling with her fate.

Luo Cheng's plan was also very simple. He asked his sister to go to work at the station. In fact, he would have to look after the station all the time in the future. This is different from asking Hongxiu to stay there and wait for news. Hongxiu can only stay there for a total of more than an hour in the morning and afternoon every day. As a messenger, Luo Cheng just needs to take care of the station, but he has no obligation.

"Next time I go back to town, Yan Ziqi will come back with me. If you want to stay in the city and work, you have to tell your parents. But think about it. You are not young anymore. You can do it yourself. You have to be responsible for the decisions you make. Your household registration is in the commune, a rural household registration. Even if you have a job, there is no quota. If you are in the city, it is impossible to marry back to the countryside. Even if you marry in this urban area in the future Life will not be easy as a human being. Of course, it is still better than living in the countryside."

Luo Yan nodded. It is good to be independent, but that is only for those who are capable. For Luo Yan, she was very submissive in her heart when Luo Cheng gave her advice. Moreover, Luo Cheng can give her a sense of stability. In Luo Yan's eyes, only her second brother Luo Cheng can help him break the shackles of fate.

As for Zhang Hongxiu, she went to the station in the morning and took the receipt given by Luo Cheng. The people there received her very warmly. There is someone accompanying all the processes, and she is just there to check whether the accounts are correct.

Luo Cheng only sent a basket of eggs to the station today, but the basket was a bamboo basket from this era and could hold more eggs than those from the future era. But it’s less than fifty kilograms, plus hundreds of kilograms of other vegetables. The total cost is just over 100 yuan, but there are not many staff at the station.

Except for drivers, train apprentices, and conductors who often have to travel outside. Station maintenance personnel such as station masters, statisticians, finance, maintenance personnel, etc. will not exceed a hundred people in total.

Of course, some passenger transport drivers and conductors can return to the station at noon. Those traveling to the county town of Luocheng leave at around 8 a.m. and can arrive before twelve o'clock when they return. But those who travel long distances, or those from other counties, may not be able to come back.

The number of people was small, and a basket of eggs and several hundred kilograms of vegetables that were in short supply was enough to keep the people at the station happy. They also hope to cooperate with Luo Cheng in the future. Others can carefully check the payment and settle it slowly. But on Luo Cheng's side, that's the priority for settlement.

Zhang Hongxiu also took out the money immediately after Luo Yan finished talking about it, also in an envelope. These days, companies like to use envelopes to carry money.

"Take these ten dollars and buy a notebook and a pen in the afternoon to record the money at the station today. In addition to the station, there will be accounts from other places in the future, and they must be recorded. Take my car tomorrow , let’s go to the garment factory.”

"OK, got it."

"I know you are from a girl's family, so it's not good for you to show up and do such things. But if you want to live here with me, you have to play a role in your situation. If the disaster is over in the future, you want to go back to me. I won’t treat you badly.”

Zhang Hongxiu didn't say anything. She lowered her head and blushed a little. But it’s not that I’m embarrassed to go out and do things. But when I heard that I would be sitting on Luo Cheng's bicycle again tomorrow, I felt a little confused. He lowered his head because he was afraid that his little thoughts would be discovered, and his sister-in-law Zhao Qian was also there.

"I will put two bags of five kilograms of eggs in a net bag later, and then put them all in cloth bags. In addition, if colleagues from my unit come to get eggs later, they will cost one yuan and twenty one kilogram. Each person has one kilogram. According to Brother Zhou Lin, You can give him two pounds. I'm going to lie down for a while. I got up early this morning and am a little sleepy."

"Well, I'll pack the eggs immediately after dinner."

"In this way, you don't need to weigh the eggplants and tomatoes, so you can just pack some. In addition, pack some eggs and vegetables, and I will send some to my uncle by the way."

The uncle Luo Cheng was talking about was naturally Dai Tiande, with whom he had maintained a relationship for almost a year. He had asked him in private to help take care of the nutrition of Sissi and his brother. Luo Cheng also likes Sissi very much. He has a shrewd attitude towards her brother, which can't be said to be liked or disliked.

After hearing the instructions, Luo Yan continued to nod. Except for Hong Xiu, she and Zhao Qian both knew who the uncle Luo Cheng was talking about. Although there are always collected things there, the tickets that are not usually used are basically collected. For example, the thermos bottle ticket. Now Luo Yan has her own thermos bottle.

There are two hot water bottles in Luo Cheng and Zhao Qian's room. There are also plenty of hot water bottles in the kitchen, which is a good thing. When you get married, get two hot water bottles and put a happy word on them. In this era, it is a standard wedding item in the city.

Seeing that the things to be busy at noon were clearly explained, Luo Cheng went back to his room to rest. I was indeed a little sleepy. I was still receiving the goods at 12 o'clock in the morning. The driver, Master Zhu, arrived at his home in the town before 5 o'clock. I slept for less than five hours in total. And his physical fitness is indeed not as strong as before. It is normal to feel sleepy at noon.

However, after sleeping for about half an hour, Luo Cheng woke up, pushed his bicycle and took his things out of the yard. The first place I went to was Dai Tiande's house. In fact, I was delivering something to Director Sun and the factory director, so I dropped by Dai Tiande's house as well.

This time I came to see Dai Tiande, and basically everyone from his family was there. If it were later, Sissi and her brother would have to go to school. Dai Tiande and his son are also going to work. As for his sister-in-law, she actually has a job and has a casual position at the Women's Federation.

Sissi's favorite thing was bird eggs, and Luo Cheng didn't want her to know decades later that the eggs he had been giving were quail eggs. In fact, I also got some real bird eggs for her. In addition to quail eggs, I could also buy larger pigeon eggs in the market in the future era. They were all mixed and sent here.

Dai Tiande already knew that Luo Cheng was interested in bicycles and told him to study it together next time he had time. He just treated it as a matter of fun, just in case it really happened. But today, even though I knew Luo Cheng was going to give something to others, I still let him stay for a while.

Dai Tiande gave Luo Cheng a gift in return, which was some bills. Giving money to Luo Cheng felt a bit too unconventional. This time Dai Tiande kept Luo Cheng and still wanted to give Luo Cheng a note, but this time it was unusual.

"Here~~, uncle, sewing tickets."

"Well, I have a sewing machine here, but I can't use it. You have a bicycle and a watch. Don't tell me that you also have a sewing machine at home. I heard that you bought a bicycle last time and borrowed money from everywhere in the factory. What's wrong with you? Don’t come to me here. There is still one hundred yuan here, and a sewing machine only costs more than one hundred and twenty yuan. You can just add a little by yourself."

"Uncle, this is not possible. I can ask for the tickets, but I can't accept the money. Besides, I am now the section chief in the factory, and I earn nearly fifty a month. I have the money to buy a sewing machine."

"This~~, that's okay. I also know that you are capable. If you don't accept the money, I won't accept it. But remember to come to me if you have any difficulties in the future. Remember to call me uncle, and I will treat you as my nephew."

"Uncle, I'm going to deliver something to someone soon. Regarding the bicycle, I'll come over at noon the day after tomorrow. Are you there? I have some ideas in my mind, but I don't know if it will work."

"It's noon the day after tomorrow, no problem. You can just come over for dinner the day after tomorrow. To be honest, apart from bringing my wife over for a meal during the Chinese New Year, I haven't had much time to eat here."

"Okay, uncle, you have good wine here. I'll bring some pork head meat the day after tomorrow. My wife also likes Sissi, but she's pregnant now and she's bored at home. There's also my sister, and there's another person I'll bring here for you to meet. . If I make pork head meat, I will suffer a big loss if I don’t bring some people to eat with me."

"Haha, let's have some fun then. This wine is nothing to me, but it's hard to eat some meat now."

Dai Tiande knew that Luo Cheng was joking with him. To entertain a meal these days, he would have to save a lot of rations. But his salary is high, but the price of grain on the black market is not low and it is difficult to buy it now. But Luo Cheng wanted to have fun with the two families, so that was no problem for him. If he didn't often have to provide relief to his poor relatives, there were three working people in his family. If they didn't go to the black market to buy food, the food at home would actually be enough.

Although joining the workforce will not increase your ration allowance, some positions do provide ration subsidies. For example, in heavy industry, positions and levels are all subsidized.

Luo Cheng, the section chief, received a subsidy of two kilograms of fine grains and three kilograms of coarse grains. Dai Tiande is an engineer, so the subsidy will not be small.

After chatting with Dai Tiande for a while, Luo Cheng left. But when she left, she secretly kissed Sissi again. In fact, this time it was not a secret kiss, it was Qianqian who was deliberately waiting for Luo Cheng. The marriage to Luo Cheng was conditional. She asked him to act as her brother and say that the eggs delivered today were for her. Her brother has no share. In this case, if her brother wants the eggs, he will have to beg her.

Naturally, Luo Cheng had no problem with this request. When he left, he loudly said that the eggs sent this time were all for Sissi.

When Sissi's parents heard this, they quickly came to their senses. This kid Luo Cheng is really quite good-natured, but they also feel that their son is a little calculating at such a young age. A lot of things are done by tricking the younger sister into taking the lead and taking advantage from behind. This time, he could cooperate with Luo Cheng to educate his son.

It's not that the calculation is bad, but Sissi is his biological sister. Sissi is no longer a director now, but sooner or later she will come to her senses. Don't let this little scheme cause conflicts between siblings in the future. It's okay to be a little petty towards outsiders, but not towards family members.
