Rebirth of the New Farmers in the 1980s

Chapter 400 It's All Gambling

The cab of the 60 tractor is also a canvas shed, but it is much more spacious than the cab of the 22 tractor. At least you can straighten your back without bending over.

The tractor left the gate of the tractor station, turned north from the gate of the middle school, and set foot on the country road to the British Commune.

Wan Feng lit one with his own cigarette and stuffed it into Xiao Liang's mouth.

"Do you have any holidays with Zhu's second child?" Xiao Liang asked while driving.

"During the sports meeting in the summer, I had conflicts with people from the sports school. This guy also had some conflicts with him at the sports school."

"It seems that you are not an easy kid. You dare to clash with the brothers of the Zhu family on the Street of Warriors."

"Is he very powerful? Just now I found that the people at your tractor station seem to be very afraid of him."

"How should I put it, we are all family members, who would be as knowledgeable as a stinky ruffian, but I advise you to avoid messing with him, this guy's small-mindedness has provoked him to chase and beat him endlessly."

"Huh, him? Not enough."

Xiao Liang gave Wan Feng a blank look: "Child, bragging is not a good habit, so why did you obediently give it to him when he asked for money?"

"Haha, that's because I have business to do, and I don't want to waste time with his knowledge. If I say two yuan, it's just a beggar. It's nothing."

Xiao Liang decided in his heart that Wan Feng was bragging.

The milestone of the country road from Warrior to the location of the British Commune is 15 kilometers and 600 meters, and it takes 40 minutes by tractor.

After arriving at the location of the Great Britain Commune, go about ten miles to the east and you will arrive at the land of the Tan family, and then walk about three miles from the road to the countryside to the third team of the Tan family.

In the previous life, Wanfeng came here countless times when he drove cement to others. It can be said that one-third of the countless small bridges and cement roads here were delivered by him by car.

There are mountains everywhere in the British Commune, and the mountains are connected with mountains and ridges.

The trees that have lost their leaves stand alone in the snowy field, exuding a desolate atmosphere.

The third team of the Tan family is a small village with less than 40 households, which is located alone in a ravine.

But when the tractor entered the village, a group of blind children with cold noses ran out and stood on the side of the road to watch the tractor enter the village.

After the tractor made a U-turn, it stood on the street, with Chen Cang's sister's house as the center, and there were four houses in a row that sold firewood.

The three small cottages of Chen Cang's sister's house were dilapidated, and his sister, who was in her thirties, made it look like forty or fifty.

The firewood was stacked neatly at the door, about two feet in length, and it was neatly tidied up.

There are two old platform scales placed in front of the door, and there is an iron frame on the platform.

If you use a platform scale to weigh one scale, it will be a year of the monkey, right? Wan Feng was worried.

But no matter how anxious you are, you have to weigh it.

Fortunately, these four families have a lot of manpower. There are five or six people in each family, including the old and the young. Some people put them on the car and others weigh them under the car, and the speed is not slow.

Wan Feng and Chen Cang each counted on a scale.

Due to the iron frame on the platform scale, one scale can weigh about three hundred catties, and one scale can hold about three thousand catties in one hour.

At around 11:30 noon, each of the three tractors loaded five thousand catties of firewood, and finally finished loading.

When the driver blocked the car, Wan Feng and Chen Cang paid the money from house to house.

Each house weighed more than 3,000 catties, and Chen Cang's sister's house was a little more than 4,000 catties. Wan Feng finally went into Chen Cang's sister's house after paying the money.

Sister Chen Cang's house is very dark and narrow. Apart from a clock, there is only a black cabinet in the house, and there are no other decorations.

The eldest child of her family is a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old. He was a good hand when he first loaded the car, and he was in good physical condition.

The second one is a girl, about fifteen or sixteen, dry and thin like a timid sparrow.

The youngest was a boy in his teens who was doing his homework on the kang table under a quilt.

"How old is your eldest?" Wan Feng counted out forty-two yuan and handed it to Sister Chen Cang.

"Eighteen."

"Where's the daughter?"

"Sixteen."

"Are there any targets?"

Sister Chen Cang carefully stuffed the money into the waistband of her trousers and shook her head: "My son doesn't have it, but my daughter is now offered a matchmaker."

"How much money can your team earn a year?"

Sister Chen Cang had a distressed expression on her face, she didn't answer Wan Feng's question but just sighed.

It can be seen from this that the Tan family's third team may not be as good as the Wahou team in pulling money.

"Then do you live by selling some big firewood in winter?"

"What else can we do? We have a lot of mountains and little land here, so it would be good if we can get a ration for farming. If we don't even have big firewood, we may not even be able to uncover the pot."

"Uncle Chen Cang, why don't you let her children go to our place? It's better than here, right?"

"I said it when I came yesterday, but they don't know what's going on outside the mountain, so they can't make up their minds."

Wan Feng thought for a while and said: "Since you have a small area and people are idle, you might as well come to our valley and work part-time. You can get back three hundred and two hundred a year at least."

Sister Chen Cang's son exclaimed: "Can you earn that much?"

"Do you mean to work with us?"

The boy glanced at his mother and said nothing.

"Aunt Chen Ju, if you don't worry, let your son and daughter follow me to our place. We have a large-scale ready-made clothing store in the back of the valley. Let your daughter go to apprentice. I say that the tuition fee can be waived. Wait. After learning, it doesn’t matter whether you stay there to make clothes or come back and open your own clothing store.”

Chen Cang added on the side: "Sister, go, Luan's ready-made clothing shop now has ten sewing machines alone, and now there are six apprentices in her house."

Chen Ju's daughter was originally tutoring her younger brother in his studies, so she raised her head and looked at Wan Feng when she heard this.

The girl was quite delicate, but she was a little thinner. Seeing this girl, Wan Feng remembered the first time he saw Jiang Min.

Chen Ju was still hesitant.

"Sister, what's wrong with you, you used to be a person who dared to think and do things, otherwise you wouldn't have married here if your parents disagreed, why are you still timid now?"

Wan Feng sighed softly, after life wears away a person's edges and corners, she can only become temperless and hesitant.

"Aunt Chen, don't worry about me, don't you believe in my brother? Your daughter can live in your brother's house, and if she earns money in the tailor shop, she can pay your brother for food. As for your son, I'm afraid he won't go until the Chinese New Year." Yes, because the work is closed in winter."

"Can you really learn the craft?"

Wan Feng did not explain to let Chen Cang speak, his words had more weight than Wan Feng.

"Your niece Wenxin is doing small clothes for his family right now. She can earn thirty or forty cents a day without delaying her studies."

Chen Ju was finally tempted. Three or four cents a day was enough without delaying her schooling. If she didn't go to school for a day, she might be able to earn a dollar.

"Brother, don't lie to me, I really can't believe what you said."

It was all caused by gambling in the past, and even my own sister didn't believe it anymore.
