After get off work, Liu Tao added another shift and assembled an additional air fryer before returning home.

By assembling one more air fryer, you will earn 70 cents more. In the rural market, 70 cents is still very purchasing power.

The village where Liu Tao lives is not far from the town. If you walk faster, you will be home in an hour.

When Liu Tao returned home, his daughter-in-law had prepared dinner for him, including steamed buns with white flour and a plate of small green vegetables.

After all, Liu Tao works in the town, and his income is much higher than that of ordinary farmers, so he can eat white flour steamed buns every day.

If farmers are only engaged in agricultural planting, they eat sweet potato, corn paste and multi-grain steamed buns, and white flour steamed buns can only be eaten when their lives are improved.

This is just the opposite of the future. In 2021, multi-grain noodles are more expensive than white noodles, and those who eat multi-grain noodles are rich people who pay attention to the quality of life.

After walking home for more than an hour, Liu Tao also felt hungry. He picked up a big steamed bun and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Head of the house, eat slowly. Is there anyone who grabs you? There's still in the pot! I'll pour you a bowl of hot water."

Liu Tao's wife took a bowl of hot water and put it in front of Liu Tao, and then said, "The boss is about to go to the mango planting. I'm going to sharpen the sickle at home tomorrow, and you can cut the wheat the day after tomorrow."

Liu Tao swallowed the steamed buns in his mouth and said, "No way, I'm afraid you will have to cut the wheat this year."

"Why?" Liu Tao's wife quickly asked.

"I have to go to work, there is an order in the factory, and the production is not finished yet!" Liu Tao said and took another bite of the steamed bun.

"Is it more important to cut wheat or go to work?" Liu Tao's wife looked a little angry, and he said, "At this time in previous years, didn't they all go home to harvest wheat? How can anyone still go to work in the factory!"

"This year is different. There are production tasks in the factory, assembling an air fryer, and assembling one, and you will be paid 70 cents!" Liu Tao made a "seven" gesture.

Liu Tao's wife retorted: "What if there are seven cents? That can't delay the harvesting of wheat!"

Liu Tao went on to explain: "If I don't waste my time, I can assemble seven air fryers in one day. That's three yuan and fifty cents, plus a basic salary of one yuan, and I can earn four yuan and fifty cents!"

"Then it's still important to cut the wheat! When will you not be able to earn your four or five cents? This wheat will have to be harvested in the past few days. After the time passes, the harvest will be reduced. Our rations for next year, as well as the public grains we hand in, can be I'm all counting on this round of harvest!" Liu Tao's daughter-in-law said.

"These four yuan and fifty cents are really not available every day." Liu Tao sighed and continued:

"This time, the number of orders is limited, and it's decreasing every day. If someone else makes one more, I will make one less, then others will earn 70 cents more, and I will earn 70 cents less. Do you understand? ?

If I come back to harvest wheat, I will be delayed for a few days, and I will lose dozens of dollars in wages on the surface, but in fact, someone else will take away my work!

When this batch of orders has been robbed by others, no matter how diligent I work, I have no more work to do. By then, I really won't have four yuan or fifty cents!

And I thought about it, when the wheat was cut, there would definitely be many people in the factory who would go home to cut the wheat. Then I will go to work, which is equivalent to robbing them of their work. When those people come back and see that I have robbed them of their orders, they must be dumbfounded! "

Liu Tao's daughter-in-law nodded knowingly, and then she said, "The head of the family, but our family's wheat can't be ignored, right? I'm a woman, and I can't do this kind of heavy manual work alone! "

Liu Tao thought for a while, then said, "You will give me ten dollars soon, I will go to town tomorrow, buy two cigarettes, two bottles of wine, and two packets of sugar, let's go to my eldest brother's house. , let them help our family harvest wheat!"

Obviously, Liu Tong, the "head of the family", really can't be the master, and all the money is in the hands of his wife!

...

mango season,

In the golden wheat fields, farmers are busy harvesting wheat with sickles and bent over.

In the age of manpower harvesting wheat, it was important to “get up early in the morning and stay in the dark”. You must get up early in the morning and make preparations before dawn. The harvesting starts after about seven o’clock in the morning, and usually stops at eleven o’clock in the morning, and then resumes at about four in the afternoon. Start the second wave of harvesting and keep busy until dark.

The reason for this is that during these two time periods, the wheat is not wet and is easier to thresh. If the harvest is dark or dark, the dew will be larger.

As for not harvesting at noon, the first reason is that the weather is relatively hot at noon, coupled with the sun, it is easy to get heatstroke when harvesting wheat; and the wheat stalks at noon are too dry, the wheat grains are easy to collapse automatically, and it is not easy to return the grains to the warehouse.

In later generations, if there is a harvester, there is no need to pay attention to these. As long as it does not rain, it can be harvested.

In the farmland of Liu Tao's family, Liu Tao's wife is busy with a sickle. Liu Tao's two older brothers will not come to help until their own wheat has been harvested.

In another field not far away, Liu Liang stood up, stretched his waist, and wiped the sweat from his forehead. Only then did he realize that in the field next to him, only Liu Tao's wife was alone, but he didn't look at it. To the trace of Liu Tao.

"Brother and sister, where is my brother Liu Tao? It's almost all morning, why haven't I seen anyone yet!" Liu Liang shouted at Liu Tao's wife.

"My man went to work in the factory early in the morning, and I was alone in the field today." Liu Tao's wife answered.

"Go to work? It's already at this time, still going to work? It's important to cut the wheat!" Liu Liang paused, then said, "Look at me, I didn't go to work in the factory today, so I cut a few acres of wheat at home first. You also hurry up and persuade my brother tonight, let him come back to cut the wheat, and then go to work after cutting the wheat, this kind of heavy physical work can't be done without a male laborer!"

Liu Liang is also a worker in the electric furnace factory, but he is obviously not as calculating as Liu Tao. Instead of going to work, he went home stupidly to harvest wheat.

Liu Tao's wife said, "I also persuaded our man, but he said that if you assemble that pot in the factory, you can earn 70 cents for one."

"Hey! Why can't my brother figure out this truth? What's the use of earning that extra seven cents? How can the harvest in this field be so important! Harvest the crops in the field first, and then make the money in time? !" Liu Liang said.

"I also persuaded my man to do the same, but he told me that there are only so many orders in total, and they will be gone when they are finished. If he doesn't do it, he will be taken away by others. If he comes back to collect wheat, it will be delayed for ten days. After half a month, when I go back to the factory, I might have no work to do!" Liu Tao's wife is also a real person, and directly relayed Liu Tao's words to Liu Liang.

Hearing this, Liu Liang's expression suddenly froze.

"Why didn't I think of this! I remember what was posted on the wall yesterday, and there are less than 10,000 tasks left. If everyone else went back to work, I would be delayed at home for more than ten days, When I go back to the factory, those jobs will really be robbed by others! Three or four dollars a day! No, I can’t continue to harvest wheat at home tomorrow, and I have to go to work!”

...

During the planting season, it was the time to go back to the hometown to harvest wheat, but in the workshop of the electric furnace factory, about 50% of the workers were still working.

Li Weidong wandered around the workshop and nodded with satisfaction when he saw half of the workers.

At this time in previous years, there was probably no one in the workshop, and they all went home to harvest wheat.

"Weidong, your move is really effective. Half of the workers have come back to work. In the past, when the mango season came, the whole factory had to take at least half a month of vacation. If it rains a few days, I'm afraid it will take a month off!" Ma Zhongyi said with admiration.

Li Weidong smiled slightly: "Actually, this account is easy to calculate. Working in the factory will definitely make more money than going home to harvest wheat. They couldn't calculate this account before because everyone felt that the work in the factory was there. It will not be thrown away, and the same will be true when the wheat is harvested and then continue to work. But if the wheat is not harvested at that time, there will be losses, so the wheat must be harvested first.

Now they realize that there is only so much work in the factory. If you don't do it there, others will grab it and do it. When others finish it, you won't be able to do it. At this time, they will naturally make a comparison, whether to work in the factory to earn more, or go back to harvest wheat to earn more. "

The next day, the work rate in the workshop reached 70%. It seems that another 20% of the workers figured out the account and returned to the factory.

On the third day, 80% of the workers returned to the workshop, and the workshop's attendance rate stabilized at this figure.

There are still 20% of workers who feel that it is more important to go home to harvest wheat than to work to earn money. After all, people take food as their priority!

The 80% resumption rate is completely within the acceptable range of Li Weidong. According to this production progress, this batch of export orders for foreign exchange earnings will be completed in July.

...

In the morning, Li Weidong was having breakfast when he heard a knock on the door.

Li Weidong walked over to open the door and saw Zhao Guodong standing at the door.

"Weidong, go downstairs and move your big bluebird. I called a big car, but it was blocked on the road and couldn't get in." Zhao Guodong said.

"Okay!" Li Weidong said, took the car keys, and went downstairs to move the car.

In the 1980s, it was impossible to have a dedicated parking space in the family area. Li Weidong usually parked his car in the family courtyard, by the side of the road.

The road in the family's courtyard is not wide, so it's ok for two small cars to walk side by side.

Li Weidong followed Zhao Guodong downstairs and asked at the same time, "Director, what did you call the cart for?"

"I want to move!" Zhao Guodong replied.

"Director, although you have been transferred to the Land Administration Bureau, but the company has not said to take your house back, why do you want to move?" Li Weidong paused, and then said: "Is it possible that the Land Administration Bureau, A new house has been assigned to you again? Is it bigger than our company's house?"

Zhao Guodong shook his head: "The Bureau of Land Management said that it is going to build a family building, but the eight characters haven't been written yet!"

"Then why are you moving?" Li Weidong lowered his voice and continued, "Could it be that Zhu Shicong really wanted to force you away?"

"You think too much about this. I'm a cadre of the Land Administration Bureau. Even if Zhu Shicong doesn't like me, I don't dare to drive me away." Zhao Guodong smiled and said excitedly; "I bought a house myself. !"

"Buying a house?" Li Weidong was taken aback.

"How is it, scared! Haha, when you bought that big blue bird, I was also startled, this time I finally got it back!"

Zhao Guodong smiled and then said: "I bought a suite outside the south gate, which was built by the original farmers. It has three main rooms, one concierge, and a large yard! The disadvantage is that it is made of adobe, but it has been painted. The same!"
