Chapter 40 Price Reduction
When it came time to go to Sanjie's house, a brand new tractor stopped in front of Yang Dongsheng's house.

Yang Huai jumped out of the car. He was wearing a military overcoat and a woolen hat. He was wrapped up like a bear, except for his eyes.

The two loaded all the things Yang Dongsheng bought into the car, first went to the village to pick up the two, then went to pick up the nearest second sister and his wife, and finally went to pick up the eldest sister.

From afar, I saw the eldest sister, her husband and her two children standing by the roadside.

Two children, a boy and a girl, waved at Yang Dongsheng, "Uncle, Uncle!"

Pulling the two into the car, Yang Dongsheng took out milk candies from a basket and gave each of them a pack.

"Thanks to you driving the tractor, otherwise I wouldn't be able to reach the third child today!" The eldest sister said while poking her mouth to the side.

I saw a man walking forward with a bicycle on his shoulders. When he stepped down, the mud covered his calf. After finally pulling his foot out, the rain boots got stuck in the mud again.

The rural areas of this era are almost all dirt roads, and even gravel roads are rare. After the snow has melted, walking is so sour.

When I was about to arrive at the third brother-in-law's house, I ran into the family of the third brother-in-law's cousin, who were also performing a car ride. They pulled them on the tractor with the car. The family was grateful, and they saved their lives.

Arriving at the third sister-in-law's house, they lined up again to accompany the ceremony.

"Name?"

"Yang Dongsheng."

"Yo, Boss Yang, I'm waiting to write down your money today." The bookkeeper half-jokingly said, "How much is it for you?"

Yang Dongsheng slapped an envelope on the table and pushed it forward, "Ten thousand!"

Ignoring the stunned expression of the bookkeeper, Yang Dongsheng left the registration office straight away.

The same envelope, Yang Dongsheng also prepared one for the third sister, because he has money in his hand, so he has confidence in his heart.

Yang Dongsheng walked into the room with the stroller in his arms. The third sister was lying on the bed talking to several women, and a fair and clean little girl was lying beside her, sleeping soundly.

Yang Dongsheng touched his niece's soft face.

"They didn't make you angry, did they?" Yang Dongsheng asked while everyone else was out.

"No, no! My father-in-law said a few words, and I scolded him. The country has said it, and men and women are passed down to descendants. What else can they say. I didn't suffer!"

Yang Dongsheng shook his head. With the nature of the third sister, even if she didn't suffer, she couldn't take advantage of it.

"I heard that you quarreled with our father again. He is an old man. He said that you did it for your own good..." The third sister didn't know when she heard the news, and began to recite.

These stupid words again, sometimes, Yang Dongsheng couldn't help thinking, why didn't that woman just beat her to death when she was young when she hit her for the first time?In this way, she can save a lot of beatings, and she won't have to be angry with her parents-in-law in the future.

That woman beat her own daughter to death and sent her to prison, saving her from coming to cheat Yang Dongsheng and Yang Richu again.

"Do you think that following them in everything is filial piety?" Yang Dongsheng couldn't help interrupting the third sister.

"Filial piety, filial piety, doesn't that mean obedience? I didn't know before, but now that I have a daughter, she won't be able to survive if you feed me a little less..."

"Please don't drag me when you want to be a filial daughter in the future, okay?"

Yang Dongsheng walked out without taking out the other envelope in his pocket.

After the banquet, Yang Dongsheng and the eldest brother-in-law were arranged at the same table, and the third brother-in-law's eldest brother was in charge of accompanying the wine.

After several rounds of drinking, the eldest brother of the third brother-in-law couldn't help asking, "Dongsheng, I heard that you can earn 1000 a month in the mine?"

"It's not that high, usually two or three hundred."

"Two or three hundred is much higher than other places, how much are the workers in the city now?" said the elder brother of the third brother-in-law.

The eldest brother-in-law suddenly asked, "I heard that your mine is contracted. After the contract expires, do you have to return it to others?"

Just as Yang Dongsheng was about to answer, the second brother-in-law said first, "Who owns mines now? They are all contracted!"

The eldest brother of the second brother-in-law and the third brother-in-law continued to inquire about the mine, but the eldest brother-in-law was not interested. He had a carpenter's skill and felt that the mine was in danger, so he was reluctant to go to the mine.

At this time, the routine toasting began again, and many people came over to toast Yang Dongsheng.Yang Dongsheng pretended to be drunk, so he wasn't really drunk by them.

……

The utility poles were buried, and a thin telephone wire was ripped into the house.

It is expensive to install a fixed telephone in this era. First of all, the initial installation fee is four to five thousand. Yang Dongsheng lives far from the village, and he has to add lines and telephone poles. It costs a couple of dollars more than others. [-], plus a little more is enough to buy a suite in Shanghai.

But it doesn't work if you don't pretend, the landline phone is the most convenient way of contact in this era.

"It's ready, try it!" Two workers walked up to Yang Dongsheng.

Yang Dongsheng casually dialed the phone number of Yang Jiayun's house, which had just installed the phone, "Auntie, it's me! It's okay, the phone has just been installed, try to see if it works."

Yang Dongsheng put down the phone and took out a cigarette, "Thank you!"

Not long after the two workers left, Zhou Ying walked into the house carrying a vegetable basket.

Putting the vegetable basket on the table, Zhou Ying complained, "The meat is getting more and more expensive now, [-]% more expensive than before, and the vegetables are more than [-]% more expensive."

"Did you care about the money? See if you fry it, is it enough for a plate?" Yang Dongsheng picked up the yellow civet cat lying on the stove to warm up.

In just a few days, the size of this guy has fully doubled again, almost doubled in length.

"Don't talk nonsense, people say that the cats at home can understand what you say!" Zhou Ying put the yellow civet cat back by the stove.

"Why don't I think it understands."

The yellow civet cat changed into a comfortable position, and continued to warm up by squinting its eyes.

Suddenly Yang Dongsheng felt the door suddenly darkened, looked out, and saw Ma Qiang standing outside the door looking in, he looked at Zhou Ying's back, nodded thoughtfully, then shook his head again.

"What are you staring at with eyes that are bigger than a cow?"

Ma Qiang stretched out his big hand and pulled Yang Dongsheng out of the door, lowered his voice and said furtively, "Dongsheng, people say your wife is tall, but I don't look very tall."

"She's taller than normal people, not elephants."

If Zhou Ying grew up like someone from Ma Qiang's family... Yang Dongsheng hurriedly shook his head to drive away this terrible thought.

"If you really like a tall one, let me introduce you to one! I have a distant cousin who is 16 years old and is 1 meters tall..."

"roll!"

Not long after Ma Qiang left, an old man appeared at the door.

"Boss Yang!"

"Old style, come in and sit down!"

Zhou Ying poured tea for the two of them.

"Boss Yang, our mine is getting more and more prosperous now."

"Old style, if you have anything to say, just say it."

"Then I'll just say it straight. Boss Yang, I heard that we are going to divide the work?"

"That's right, it turned out that the dry method was too inefficient. From now on, those who mine mines will specialize in mining, and those who load cars will specialize in loading cars, so as to save running back and forth."

"I heard that after the division of labor, the price of digging a ton of ore will also drop?"
