Chapter 311 She has a different mentality from people of this era
The team door.
"Auntie, here are the seven chickens you asked for, as well as ten pounds of rice and ten pounds of cornmeal."
"Hey, you guys are so awesome."
"Auntie, we also brought a bundle of firewood."
"My house happens to be short of firewood, and you delivered it just in time."
Standing in front of Luo Wanyi were four children, all carrying things in their hands, two of whom seemed to be the children from whom she bought firewood last time.
No, they appeared again in the nearby small market five days ago. After Luo Wanjing saw them, he gave them such a task, asking them to help find someone in the production team to exchange chickens, rice noodles, And ask them to bring another bundle of firewood.
The two little children were also very clever, and they knew in their hearts that their aunt was helping them.
Since the uncles in the team sent them back to the production team, no one in the production team dared to bully them anymore.Because those powerful uncles approached the team leader and village party secretary, and then their family borrowed grain from the production team.
Now, they and their grandfather will no longer be hungry. Now that spring has begun again, there are more and more wild vegetables in the fields. They can also find wild vegetables to eat, which will make them fuller.
Uncle Zhang who sent them back also told them that although they were borrowing grain from the production team now, they wouldn't be able to pay it back when they grow up. At worst, they could just pay back more. They must be allowed to grow up well now.
Not only did the two children listen to it, but their grandfather also listened to it. Suddenly they had a lot of motivation and their mental state was much better.
Coupled with the fact that there was a lot more food at home, they were full of hope for the future.
Just like Uncle Zhang said, they will still grow up. When they grow up, they will be able to do a lot of work and earn work points and food without fear at all.
Especially the eldest child is nine years old this year, and the younger child is six or seven years old. In five years, their work points combined will be able to support one of them, and the other one can be raised by borrowing food from the production team for three or four years. No more borrowing.
Luo Wanyi gave each of the four children a candy, and all four children were very happy.
Then, she asked the four children to sit in the duty room, and she called the eldest child not far away.
The eldest child obediently followed Luo Wanyi to a place where no one could hear them talking. He knew clearly in his heart that this kind-hearted Aunt Zhou must have something to say to him.
"Dayong, this is the money for seven chicks. You keep it. You helped me find the chicks and brought them all the way. I plan to give you an extra thirty cents as your hard work fee. You have to run errands for this." It’s three hours of hard work, don’t refuse, you deserve it.”
"In addition, this is the money I exchanged for cornmeal and rice with the production team, and there is also hard work fee, which is not much, it is only thirty cents. If I ask someone to exchange for food, the money I have to pay will definitely be more than this. After you take it back, If you tell your grandpa like this, he will definitely understand and won't blame you."
"Dayong, listen, you can't tell anyone else except your grandfather, not even your brother, the extra money I gave you."
"Auntie, I understand. This is speculation. I also know that there are people in the production team who exchange grain for others. I won't tell anyone."
The eldest child's name is Dayong, and his younger brother is Xiaoyong. Even though he is young, he already understands everything.
Children from poor families take charge of their own lives early, while children without parents are like weeds, learning the difficulty of life even earlier.
Dayong and his grandfather are very aware of Luo Wanyi's kind help, so they must not harm her.
"Good boy, you are great. This is the money for the bundle of firewood, and I will give you [-] cents. So, after you take the money back this time, be sure to set aside one dollar of your own first, and give the rest to the production Team and chicken changer. If you can’t count, let your grandpa do it.”
Luo Wanyi was worried that her child would stupidly hand over all the money to the production team, because she was worried that people would know that she had given them too much money. After all, the extra money was what she wanted to give to Dayong and Xiaoyong.
"Aunt, I understand. I will give one dollar to Grandpa first, and let Grandpa give the rest to the production team and Aunt Hu."
"Dayong is great, that's it."
Dayong's face turned red when Aunt Zhou praised him for being so awesome, and he was very happy in his heart. Aunt Zhou was really kind.
Luo Wanyi felt really sad looking at this cute and sensible little guy who worked hard to survive.
How could she not sympathize with someone who lived a wealthy life decades later, had no worries about food and clothing, could eat whatever she wanted, and worried about what to eat every day, wearing down jackets, cotton clothes, trousers, boots, snow boots casually, and how could she not want to help? !
There is no way for people who have not experienced a cruel survival crisis to harden their hearts. She is not a cold-blooded person, and she does not have any high-quality relatives in her family. She herself has not suffered much in her previous life. She grew up in an era when materials were extremely abundant, and her mentality It's completely different.
"Thank you auntie."
After Dayong took the money and put it away, he bowed seriously to Luo Wanyi. When he grows up, he will definitely repay Aunt Zhou well.
"You're welcome, you've worked hard too."
Luo Wanyi touched the child's head and looked at him and thought of a few more good ideas.
"Dayong, do you raise chickens at home?!"
"Grandpa said he would raise it."
"Then, can you help me buy eggs?! I will give you one out of ten eggs. You can send them once a month. You can send one hundred or eighty or ninety at a time. In addition, if you have mushrooms and fungus, you can dry them in the sun Please bring it to me, but if you don’t have it, you can help me buy twenty or thirty kilograms, and I will pay you for your hard work.”
"Aunt Zhou, then I will send you eggs and dry goods every month."
"Don't forget the firewood, I want it too."
"Okay, Auntie, I won't forget it."
Dayong really never expected that Aunt Zhou would ask him for help again, and he was extremely grateful.
Luo Wanyi smiled.
"Did you go to school?!"
"No."
"Then have you ever thought about going to school?!"
"...Auntie, I can't afford to go to school, and I can't go to school. I still have to help grandpa work to support the family."
"..."
"Dayong, knowledge is very important. If you are literate, you will be able to recognize the characters on the road and the characters on the car when you go out. You will not be afraid of going the wrong way or getting in the wrong car. Moreover, if you can read, you must also be able to count. What will you do in the future? When you are alive, people will calculate your wages for you, but you can’t count. What should you do if they give you less?! Studying will not let you suffer. If you understand the truth, you will not be afraid no matter where you go."
"Aunt, I know."
"Let's do this. When you go back, tell your grandpa that you take your younger brother to the literacy class of the production team first. The literacy class only starts in the evening. You can learn as much as you can. When you become more literate, Auntie has a lot of books here. I'll lend it to you to take a look at when the time comes."
"Auntie, I listen to you."
“Is there a lot of work in the fields now?!”
"Fortunately."
"Then can you finish two days of work in one day?! I would like to invite you and your brother to come over and help me work. I have recently been assigned a piece of land, and I plan to invite you and Xiaoyong to come over and work for a few days."
"Okay, aunt. My brother and I are currently cutting pigweed for the production team. We have four work points a day. As long as we cut five baskets of pigweed, it will be considered four work points. I can cut ten baskets a day."
"Well, when you come here, take someone else's car and don't have to walk the whole way by yourself."
"I understand."
