Chapter 9: Don’t be a door-to-door son-in-law
After selling the eels on hand, Luo Xuan carefully carved the money and sugar tickets and turned around and left the woods.
He has been studying in Hongxing Township. According to the original owner's memory, Luo Xuan is very familiar with the layout of the township.
Turn around the long stone wall of the grain station.
Luo Xuan passed by the gate of the slaughterhouse of the food station. Amid the shrill screams of the fat pig, Luo Xuan clearly saw a figure hunched over, squatting beside the drainage ditch of the food station, silently snatching something out of the ditch.
When the food station slaughtered live pigs, when the slaughterman used a machete to split the spine of the fat pig, some bone slags and meat would fall down.
Larger residues will be collected by the assistant.
But there will always be some small pieces of meat, which will eventually be washed into the drainage ditch.
This person obviously collected the little bit of residue in the ditch.
When he saw someone approaching, the man lowered his head even more and almost buried it in the drainage ditch!
Luo Xuan pretended to turn a blind eye, walked straight past the man and turned into an alley.
At this time, others do not need anyone’s false pity. Don’t run over and ask questions, which is the greatest respect for him.
After leaving the alley, Luo Xuan entered the only main street in Hongxing Township.
It was dim at this time.
The rising sun had no strength to break through the layers of black clouds, and could only weakly go from the gap between the clouds, and a little bit of dark red glow was revealed in difficulty.
Just like Luo Xuan's pants, it is so broken that it makes people feel irritated when they look at it.
Too early!
On the empty streets, except for the vegetable farmers in the "vegetable production team" who were eager to deliver vegetables to the food groups of various agencies and units, there were no pedestrians on the streets.
These vegetable farmers carried vegetable poles and walked on the streets wet with morning dew, each of them was very careful.
This cobbled street has become extremely smooth after years of barefoot, straw sandals, ragged cloth shoes, and precious and rare leather shoes.
If you are not careful, the consequences will often be very serious once you fall.
The bruised nose and swollen face are the lightest, and the fracture of the fall is also very common. It is just that the fall is dead, and it is not that it has not happened.
I heard that the township office is preparing to organize manpower and material resources to replace all the pebbles on this street with bluestone slabs.
However, it is only when winter comes to the slack season when rural people enter the slack season, they can collect enough "voluntary work" to implement the project.
Volunteer work, as the name suggests, is not rewarded for working, and you have to bring the food from your own home.
This kind of work is a mandatory levy and there is no room for negotiation.
Luo Xuan's father Luo Tiezhu is also among the recruitment.
When he was about to reach the supply and marketing cooperative's non-staple food store, Luo Xuan smelled the scent of tempting food.
After working all night, Luo Xuan was already hungry, and was caught by the smell of food. Luo Xuan's stomach couldn't help but rumbling.
Big white steamed buns!
It's really greedy!
One or two steamed buns with saccharin added to it, which tastes a bit of a sweet taste, which is the most attractive.
Steamed buns are "fine grains". They need 1 tael of grain coupon and 3 cents to buy them. Luo Xuan is not qualified to buy them to satisfy his hunger.
At this time, the "Café Service Company" market has begun to become busy. Half of the wooden door panels have been removed. Just wait until the first tray of steamed buns is steamed, and you can start business.
After swallowing a saliva, Luo Xuan obediently walked around the door of the fragrant catering service club and lined up in front of the supply and marketing cooperative's non-staple food store, waiting for others to open the door.
Luo Xuan thought he had come early enough, but unexpectedly, there were still many people who came earlier than him.
I saw that there were more than a dozen people wearing cloaks and straw raincoats standing in front of the non-staple food store, chatting and waiting for the door to open.
In the morning, it is cold and wet in Ba Province, and the straw raincoat and straw hat can be used to block some moisture.
Luo Xuan listened carefully to their chatting and realized that these people were farmers who came out of the mountains to go to the market.
They live very far from Hongxing Township, and the farthest one is more than 40 miles away.
It was not easy for them to come out. The night before they needed to rush out of the mountain with a torch.
When they approach the countryside, they will put down their baskets, loads and torches on their hands at home at the same family.
(In fact, the mountain people came out and brought a lot of food, pheasants, hares, etc. The family secretly reselled these things to make a little profit.)
Then these mountain people carried money, food coupons, cloth coupons and other things in their pockets, and continued to rush to the countryside.
These mountain people are more affordable than the rural people outside.
There is no other reason, just because they have more land and forests, so there is more food on hand.
Their land and houses are built according to the mountains, with 3.5 households here and 2.3 households there, and they are very far apart from each other.
Although it was already the "high-level cooperative" stage at this time, in fact, the rural areas in the mountainous areas could not be "cooperated" at all!
If everyone's oxen are concentrated and raised, use it.
In the morning, the captain of the production team led the cow to work in the field and walked to the ground. It was probably time to have lunch...
Therefore, the production teams in the mountains are on the surface as cooperatives, but in fact they are all farming in secret.
As long as the county, township, brigade and production team are retained, assigned and purchased tasks, they will be at their own discretion.
If too much is left at all levels, the mountain people will go to the deep forest and secretly open a little wasteland to farm.
Anyway.
As long as the farmers in the mountains are hardworking enough, they will not have to worry about not having enough food.
"Little brother, where is your lord?"
Among the mountain people, a short but extremely burly man saw Luo Xuan queuing alone. When he was bored, he asked Luo Xuan casually.
"The adults at home are going to work, so they don't care about coming to the scene."
Luo Xuan casually asked the man: "Uncle, do you think if I want to move my household registration to your production team, is this easy to deal with?"
The man obviously didn't expect Luo Xuan to ask such a question, and was stunned when he heard this!
"Will your adults want to?"
A thin man next to him spoke, "It's not easy to move a family to a household registration."
"What if I was the only one?"
It's still early to open the supply and marketing cooperative.
Anyway, Luo Xuan was fine, so he asked the thinner man half-true and half-false: "Is it easy to move my household registration alone?"
“It’s not easy.”
The man shook his head: "If you want to move into our production team, you need to agree to the joint guarantee of 8 members. This is easy to deal with. As long as you do not occupy mature land, you can reclaim land and plant a few acres of raw land in the mountains and forests of the production team. At the end of the year, you can pay all the reservations, send purchases, and purchase tasks."
"But the problem is that the village is now strict with household registration cards, and it is difficult to move households."
The man smiled immediately: "But there is a very simple way, I'm afraid you don't want it, little brother."
Luo Xuan quickly asked, "What method?"
"Become a son-in-law!"
The man laughed: "I will discuss with your mother-in-law's family first. When you grow up in a few years, you can get married and move your household registration."
After hearing this, Luo Xuan looked dark!
