Worn in 1977

Chapter 4: I'm here at 77, don't disturb me

After a while, the girl came over, placed the pottery bowl that smelled of strong Chinese medicine on the table, lowered her head and whispered, "This is your medicine."

Chen Fan looked at her and then at the medicine, feeling like "Da Lang, you've taken the medicine".

When the girl saw that Chen Fan was not moving, she explained in a low voice, "This is what Dr. Zhang from the team prescribed for you. He said that you must drink medicine because of the cold in your body. You had a high fever last night, and it was only after taking this medicine that it went away." of burning.”

Chen Fan came to his senses and responded, "Oh, thank you."

He picked up the bowl and took a bite. The temperature was just right. He obviously brought it over after it had cooled down in the kitchen. He was a careful person.

Then he closed his eyes and drank it all in one gulp.

After drinking, the expression on his face was beyond recognition, and a bitter taste rose from his stomach.

Seeing the girl pick up the bowl and leave, he quickly asked, "Hello, what is your name?"

The girl stopped, lowered her head and said, "My name is Jiang Lili, ginger's ginger, you can call me Xiao Jiang."

She looks like a pretty girl. Although she's a little thinner, she doesn't always have her head lowered, right?

Chen Fan smiled, suppressed the bitterness in his stomach, showed a kind smile, and then imitated the tone on TV in the era, and asked, "Hello, Comrade Jiang Lili, I would like to ask, is there a calendar here? I think Look at the time and see if you can think of anything."

Jiang Lili glanced at him, then lowered her head, "Yes, I'll get it for you."

Then he walked out.

She came back within 2 minutes and handed him a partially torn calendar. She blushed and said, "The front ones have been torn off. The earliest one is today's."

Chen Fan said "thank you" and took a look at it, his eyes immediately widened.

January 77, 1, the second day of the twelfth lunar month, there was a severe cold.

So, I'm in 77?

What is the concept of 77?
The lively sports meeting has just passed, and the vigorous era is about to come. It is a gap period when the east wind turns to the west wind, and the north wind turns to the south wind.

However, the aftermath of the Games is still lingering, and the warm spring breeze has not yet blown. The living habits and ideological understanding of the majority of people are not much different from those of the previous ten years, so it is also an era where we need to shrink our necks and work hard to survive.

In life, you need a ticket to buy things, and you may not be able to buy things with a ticket.You need a letter of introduction when you go out. Once you have the letter, you can't go anywhere. You can only do the things stated in the letter of introduction...

Chen Fan sat blankly on the chair, his mind was in a mess, and he didn't even know Jiang Lili left quietly.

Even if he heard someone calling him, he just replied,
"Take care of me."

……

On the other side, Captain Yang explained Zhu Gongan’s analysis to the other two leaders in the team, and then expressed his own thoughts:

"My guess is similar to what Mr. Zhu said. Although this baby is a little taller, he looks about 15 or 6 years old. He also looks gentle and kind. He is probably not a bad person. It is fate that we can meet him. . The old saying goes that saving people to the end is the same as sending Buddhas to the West. So, let’s arrange for him to stay at the educated youth point first. The rations will be paid out of the team’s account first. When we find the rightful owner later, we can make up for it. You guys What do you think?"

Accountant Liu looked at Custodian Huang and said, "I have no objection."

Custodian Huang stared at him, "What do you think I'm doing? How can I have any objections to such a big life?"

Accountant Liu sneered, "You have such a temperament that you can break a penny in half and spend it. Normally, even a penny from your hands would be like killing you. Now that there is one more person's ration, why don't you hang yourself?" ." Custodian Huang stared, "Why are you killing me? It's public money. There can't be a penny error. If everyone trusts me to take care of the accounts, then I have to be responsible to the end. But the expenses should be paid. , as long as it is reasonable and everyone agrees, have I ever paid less?!"

Captain Yang knocked on the table with his cigarette pole and acted as a peacemaker for the nth time, "Okay, okay, you guys quarrel every time we meet. What's the point of quarreling."

After a pause, he added, "Since you all agree, let's let this be settled for now. Okay, you can express your feelings later."

Accountant Liu and Custodian Huang looked at him together, "What does it mean?"

Captain Yang took out another wad of tobacco and filled it with it. He sighed and said, "This kid only wears three pieces of clothing. One of them is shorts. He is still wearing Yang Jihong's jacket. The quilt on the bed is also mine. It was taken out from home and had been refurbished only two months ago. The bottom and top of the quilt were all new, so I gave it to him. I will find him a new pair of shoes later."

As he spoke, he raised his head and looked at the two men who were lowering their heads and pretending to be dead, "Why, don't you understand what I said?"

There is a reason why he asked these two to work together. The production team leader will make up 300 work points every year, the accountant and custodian will each make up 280 work points, and the recordkeeper will make up 200 work points.

Although this year's harvest has been bumper and every household has had a much better life, ordinary people cannot afford these things. Since they are cadres on the team, they must carry forward their style and must exert their strength when it is time to do so.

Besides, if I can find someone, maybe they can come back with some extra money!
Accountant Liu glanced at Custodian Huang, straightened up and coughed, "What about that? He's almost 1.8 meters tall, and I don't have clothes of his size at home."

Custodian Huang gritted his teeth, raised his head and said, "There are still more than two kilograms of cotton distributed in the summer. I will take out half of it and dismantle two old clothes to make him a new cotton jacket, cotton trousers and a pair of cotton shoes."

Accountant Liu looked at him in surprise, "Hey, the iron tree is blooming?!"

Custodian Huang rolled his eyes, "I've told you eight hundred times, I'm calculating carefully, not picking."

Now that the two giants have spent a lot of money, Accountant Liu felt like he was being roasted on the fire. He pondered for two seconds and gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, no matter what, I will get him two clothes."

Custodian Huang looked at him with a half-smile, "Don't patch it again and again."

Accountant Liu glared at him bitterly, "I'll go to the commune to buy cloth and ask my mother-in-law to make him new clothes!"

If this iron rooster hadn't suddenly plucked its feathers, he wouldn't have suffered a massive hemorrhage. He would have just found some old clothes to cover his hair, and it would have been like adding a dowry to his daughter's wedding. What a loss!

Captain Yang continued to smooth things over, "Ahem, there's no need to buy new cloth. See if there are any suitable old clothes at home. Take them apart, boil them, and put them back together again. You can still make ends meet."

After hearing what he said, Accountant Liu's face became a little better and he said, "Then do one thing, change one thing, and have a swap."

Then he smiled at Captain Yang and said, "Thanks to your good leadership this year, the team has a bumper harvest. One job is worth 6 cents, so I only have some money left. If it's the same as in Ganjia Village, one job is only worth 5 cents." Eight, let alone buying cloth, you can’t even earn back the rations.”

Captain Yang's face was not flattering, he waved his hand and said, "Ganjia Village was also flooded and a lot of land was flooded. Otherwise, no matter how hard it is, a worker can still earn [-] or [-] cents, so let's forget it behind closed doors." , don’t mention it after you leave the house.”

Accountant Liu nodded repeatedly and said with a smile, "Of course I know this, I'm not stupid."

Custodian Huang is smiling mysteriously across from you, aren't you stupid?If you are provoked by me, you will go buy cloth. If you are not stupid, who is stupid?
Captain Yang stood up and waved his hand, "That's it. Let's go and talk to the kid."

The three of them came out and walked to Chen Fan's room. When they entered the door, they saw that the doll seemed to have lost its soul. He couldn't even see anyone coming in. He was sitting there in a daze.

Captain Yang looked around, approached Chen Fan, and whispered, "Chen, Chen Fan?"

Chen Fan's eyes were unfocused and he didn't even look at him. He just said, "Take care of me."
