Chapter 252 Apprenticeship
It is said that rabbits do not eat grass beside their nests.

Jia Haohao was unwilling to sell garlic yellow on the black market in the town because he was worried that it would be spread to Nanshanwu.

Therefore, they rarely sell yellow garlic on the black market in town.

Especially now, Xiaoqi's space can keep fresh again, although it costs gold coins to put it in, but the advantage is that in summer, you don't have to worry about the garlic being stale.

So she didn't plan to sell it on the black market.

Furthermore, she also found that the consumption level in the town is still not as good as that in the city.

Even if you get it yourself and sell it on the black market, the price will probably be lowered.

In this case, I should keep it and wait for Zhen Youqin to take it out for sale next time, right?

And she felt that whenever she said she was sold out, the team members thought delivery was easy?

Uncle Zhen went to buy a few packs of matches and came back, seeing that Jia Haohao was already waiting for him in the bullock cart, he was a little surprised: "I didn't expect you to go so fast today, you still have to go to the commune, right?"

When I walked over, I saw that there were more than [-] catties of garlic left in her basket, so I asked in a low voice, "Is there still so much left? Do you want to go to the black market?"

He also comes to the town often, so he naturally knows where the best place to sell things is?
Jia shook his head well: "No need, I'm going to give these away."

Half-truthfully said: "Now the beans, spinach, and hairy vegetables have started to appear in the field, and this dish is not easy to sell."

Old Uncle Zhen nodded with a serious expression, fearing that she would lose too much, he gave her some advice: "In the future, there will be more vegetables like eggplant, pumpkin, pumpkin and endive, and the price will only be five, six, seven or eight cents a catty. It will be even more difficult for you to do business, I think you should let everyone rest for a while, and start this business when the weather is cold?"

"Uncle is still thoughtful." Jia Haohao was a little embarrassed because he was deceiving people, so he explained with a smile: "The sales in our town are not very good, but as long as Yuqin can take it out for sale, there are still people who want it outside. of."

"That's okay, don't force yourself." Uncle Zhen felt that Jia Haohao's comradeship was really good, and he was wholeheartedly thinking about the team members.

Jia Haohao came to the gate of the commune in a bullock cart, smiled and said to him, "Old man, you go outside, I'll be there for at least an hour."

Uncle Zhen nodded: "Go and do your work."

There is a parking place opposite the commune, and there are also ox carts and mule carts parked there. He drives the cart, smokes a bag of Han cigarettes, and chats with another old man who drives the cart. It is a good time to pass the time.

Jia Haohao first went to the women's director for a stroll, got some family planning supplies for the women in the brigade, and then went to Secretary Lou to submit his schedule or something.

She was lucky, Secretary Lou had just returned to the office after a meeting when he went there, and when he saw her, he remembered the old comrades he had arranged in Nanshanwu, and asked them about their situation in a low voice.

"Don't worry, they are all teaching their children now, they have something to do, and their spirits are much better."

Jia Haohao also felt that he was playing the wrong game. Mr. Chen and the others really benefited a lot from teaching the children now.

Even now there are pickets outside who are not very friendly to teachers.

But the folk customs in the countryside are simple and honest. Both adults and children are naturally fond of teachers who teach and educate people.

Moreover, the members of the joint defense team and the picket team also disliked that the bumpy road in the mountains was far from lucrative, and they were unwilling to take a stroll.

Therefore, Chen Lao's life is indeed much better than before.

Secretary Lou chatted with her about the old comrades, and after reading the plan she handed in, he couldn't help shaking his head and laughing: "It's a good thing that you want to build roads, but now the commune's funds are tight and can't support you .”

The main reason is that there are more than 50 brigades nearby. If he dares to set a precedent, then the latter will follow suit.

Therefore, even if he really wanted to help Nanshanwu, he dared not agree.

"Okay, we will overcome the difficulties by ourselves." Jia Haohao grinned, and said flatteringly: "However, the tools used for road construction and the power supply, can you accommodate me?"

"Even if you don't talk about it, we've also held a meeting here, and we're going to make most of the brigades electrified this year."

Secretary Lou took out a few documents from the drawer and gave them to her: "Take it back and have a look. If you have no objections, then let everyone prepare money first, and arrange electricity for you as soon as possible."

"As for the various tools used in road construction, I can write a note, and you can buy them yourself."

Jia Hao Hao originally thought that there would be some money to be paid, but after a closer look, it turned out that it was the money for everyone to pull the wires home and install them to the households, as well as the money for light bulbs.

After reading it, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Now the brigade is really tight on finances, but the villagers in Nanshanwu have been growing garlic for sale in the past few months, and everyone really has some money in their hands.

Thinking that it will take at least two months after the electricity is turned on, and it happens to be the hottest time in summer, and my electric fan seems to be a hero. Tell everyone, it should be fine."

"Haha, then I'll wait for your good news." Secretary Lou sighed after laughing: "Hey, it's all because of poverty. We also know that although many places have electricity, everyone wants to save money. To pay the electricity bill, I was reluctant to turn on the electric lights, and the main lighting still relies on kerosene lamps.”

Jia Haohao couldn't help but think in his heart: that's because of the production team that's still running.

Although it is no longer a big pot meal, the farmers' rations are distributed to each family
But now that everyone is credited with work points for labor, this has led to the generation of negative thoughts. Everyone must not work actively at ordinary times.

In addition, the prohibition of private transactions is also a disadvantage. When transactions are allowed in the future, and the land is divided into households, it will suddenly be a new look.

When Jia Haohao left the commune, it was also lunch time, so she simply found old uncle Zhen and went to the state-run restaurant for lunch together.

Life in Uncle Zhen's family is actually pretty good. Although the old couple only have one daughter now, and they are still in the army and have no home, but the daughter is very filial. She remits ten yuan a month, and sometimes sends Some clothes or food.

As for Uncle Zhen himself, there are work points for driving the car, but the money he receives from everyone in the car has to be handed over to the team.

Therefore, Aunt Zhen didn't go to work, but went to work when the farming was busy.

However, frugality is their habit.

Uncle Zhen saw that Jia was rushing to order and pay for the noodles, so he hurriedly told her: "I just want a bowl of pickled noodles."

"Okay, I got it." After Jia finished speaking well, he blinked at Aunt Li, took out two breads from his satchel and handed them to her, and said in a low voice, "My sister gave it to me, take it back to you Let the grandchildren taste it."

He gave another eight cents and half a catty of food stamps, and said with a smile, "Give us two bowls of shredded pork noodles, add an egg, and put more spicy oil."

"Okay!" Aunt Li was very quick to collect money and things, and she smiled from ear to ear: "Xiao Jia, look at you, you miss me if there is something delicious, I'm even embarrassed. "

After finishing speaking, regardless of the people behind waiting in line to pay for food, I went to the kitchen behind and told the chef to add more noodles and shredded pork to the two bowls of noodles.

Anyway, they can't give away this food for free, but let the chef relax and put more noodles and shredded pork, which can be regarded as an internal benefit.

When Uncle Zhen saw the two big bowls of shredded pork noodles she brought on a tray, he couldn't help muttering, "This is not the first time I've eaten noodles, and this time there are more noodles and shredded pork."

After finishing speaking, it seemed that he was afraid that others would find out that it would be bad if he yelled. He picked it up with chopsticks, buried the shredded meat under the ground, and ate it in big mouthfuls.

Jia Haohao also likes the noodles of this restaurant, because not to mention the firmness of kneading the noodles, the shredded pork is also very tasty, coupled with the fragrant and spicy oil chili, it tastes particularly delicious.

When they left the restaurant after eating and drinking, Old Uncle Zhen took out a dollar from his pocket and gave it to her, fearing that she would not want it, he said with a straight face: "I won't give you the food stamp, you have to accept the money." .”

Jiahao took two steps away from him, and said coquettishly, "Uncle, you drove me here on purpose, it's rare for me to treat you to a meal of noodles. If you're like this, I won't dare to ask you for help next time."

Old Uncle Zhen hurriedly said: "What nonsense are you talking about? Isn't it five work points for me to send you here? Besides, you gave me a cigarette yesterday, and also those hairtail fish and dried fish biscuits. Didn't I have the cheek to accept it?"

"Yuqin often told me that you taught him martial arts and took care of them from time to time. That is really more like a relative than his relatives."

Jiahao smiled at him, and said sweetly: "Isn't the old saying saying that one day is a teacher and life is a father? We should honor you."

He showed an embarrassed expression again: "And I have something to ask for your help?"

When Uncle Zhen heard what she said, he thought that she had spent almost all the money when she went out, and now that the money was no longer in his hands, he asked, "How much do you want?"

Seeing her staring at him with wide eyes, she thought she was being embarrassed, so she said: "My family only has a hundred or so yuan. If it is not enough, I have to come to the town to get it."

"No, that's not the case." Seeing that he had misunderstood, Jiahao hurriedly said, "It's my Xiao Er and Yun Hang who want to ask you to guide them and teach them a few tricks."

Children nowadays are very envious of wearing military uniforms. Like Yuqin at that time, Uncle Zhen wanted to send him to serve as a soldier, but at that time Zhen Yuqin’s sister was sold by his stepmother, and he was afraid that he would leave home. The younger sister's life became more and more difficult, so she rejected the kindness of old uncle Zhen.

Now that life at home is better, Yunhang talked to himself about wanting to practice boxing.

It's a pity that Zhen Youqin is not at home a lot now, and he has no time to teach them, so Jiahaohao remembered Old Uncle Zhen.

Therefore, there were a lot of things given to Uncle Zhen's house last night, which was to help the two little guys in the family build a good relationship early.

"This matter?" Uncle Zhen didn't expect it to be this matter, he hesitated for a while, and then sighed: "I'm getting older now, and my skills are not as flexible as before."

Seeing her disappointed look, she smiled: "However, it's okay to give them some pointers. It also depends on whether they have the muscles to practice martial arts."

What he is most satisfied with is the daughter he taught, and the three apprentices are not heartless people.

Needless to say, Captain Zhen's son is able to stand out in the army now because of his good skills. In addition, Zhen Youqin and Zhen Weigang, although they did not serve in the army, are good people.

Now that I'm getting older, it's not bad to take in two more young apprentices. Maybe they will be able to better protect the family and the country in the future?
Jiahao thanked you very bluntly: "That's great, Uncle, you are really a kind person."

"Okay, then I won't give you the money." Uncle Zhen also understood that she wouldn't want the money, but he still couldn't help but tell her: "If you are short on money in the future, go with your aunt Say, don't be shy, you know?"

Jiahao agreed without hesitation, and said it very pleasantly: "That's for sure. In my heart, uncle and aunt are both relatives, and they are definitely not outsiders."

They went to the bureau again, and Jiahao gave Suanhuang to the cafeteria of the bureau, and asked for some documents and newspapers for Team Wei before returning.

When they got home, Jia Haohao went to the field first to find Captain Zhen, who led the team himself, and told Secretary Lou what he had said before discussing with him: "As for the money needed to connect the electricity to the household, we will pay for it at that time." Let’s talk about it in a meeting, do you think so?”

Originally, she wanted to pay for the money by herself, but then she thought about it, although the money was not much, but it was too eye-catching for her, and it would be bad for others to suspect that her money came from a wrong source.

Hey, now is the time when she has money and can't spend it recklessly. She'd better be careful, lest she be watched by others, and she will be miserable.

When Captain Zhen heard the good news, wrinkles appeared on his tanned face with a smile: "Okay, this is a good thing, we will have a meeting tonight."

Those who listened to them with their ears pricked up quickly asked, "Captain, what is the good news?"

"Did the superiors agree with us to build the road?"

Captain Zhen didn't hide anything: "Yes, the superiors have agreed for us to build the road, and they will also arrange for electricity in our village. We will have a meeting at night."

"Electricity? That's power, that's great."

"That's right, if the electricity is turned on, then you don't have to envy the people in the town."

"you do not say…"

Everyone chattered, and the sweat and smiles on their faces were intertwined, which made Jia feel a little moved after watching it.

Today's people have fewer requirements and are easy to satisfy, as if they are extraordinarily simple and pure.

It seems that because of hearing the good news, everyone is working extra vigorously.

Captain Zhen and Jia Haohao went to their humble office first. Anyway, even if Captain Zhen was not around outside, there were scorekeepers watching everyone working in the field.

Jia Haohao discussed with Captain Zhen how to arrange the road construction personnel, after all, the work in the field cannot be delayed now.

"Or let people take turns?" Jiahao put forward his own suggestion: "Anyway, road construction is also credited as work points, just treat it like a laborer."

Captain Zhen still puts more emphasis on the land, so many people depend on the crops for their rations?
Therefore, he hesitated for a while before speaking: "We will discuss this matter after the meeting."
