Return to the era, take over and become a winner in life

Chapter 97: The unexpected reward of the commune (subscription required)
"As long as they don't raise them on a large scale, they probably won't make a big deal out of it."

“If individuals cannot raise them, then we can raise them collectively.”

"As long as I ask him, Fan Dajun will definitely give me this face." Xu Ye said calmly.

Now that the construction team has taken shape, it will soon be able to train a few people who can build firewood-saving stoves.

As the founder of the construction team and the person in charge behind the scenes, he should not be completely without a say.

Moreover, everyone in the brigade is eager to eat meat, and raising bamboo rats can achieve this, so Fan Dajun has no objection.

Hearing Xu Ye say this, Jiang Ruyue couldn't help but nodded.

She was fascinated by Xu Ye's confidence, and her eyes couldn't help but become drawn to him.

After seeing this, Jiang Ruoan silently took her sister's arm.

"Brother Ye, my sister and I will go buy some bricks now. We still have time. Let's go to Sister Yun's place to see if Li Qing has bought what you want."

You can take your time dismantling the room, since Xu Ye doesn’t have time to lay the floor yet anyway.

"Okay, take this for self-defense." As he said that, Xu Ye handed the pistol behind him to Jiang Ruyue.

"Will it work?"

Jiang Ruyue took the gun and asked in surprise, "Yes, how did you get a gun?"

"It was a reward from my uncle after we blew up that disaster yesterday. I'll feel more at ease if you take it with you." Xu Ye said with a smile.

Anyway, there is no problem in snatching it now, so it’s okay to carry it with you.

"How much do you want to buy? Is one thousand bricks enough?" Jiang Ruoan asked generously.

After all, she is in charge of the money now, and Xu Ye will soon be able to get the gun as a reward from the brigade, which can save a lot of money on buying guns.

"Buy it for three thousand yuan, we will need it later." Xu Ye said more generously.

"Okay, then I'll go get the money." Jiang Ruoan said, pulling her sister to the room to get the money.

The two sisters set off quickly. After Xu Ye settled the bamboo rat, he started working on the water pipes.

He forged an iron rod yesterday to be used for piercing bamboo joints.

Without this, it would be difficult to convert the bamboo into a water pipe.

Near noon, Xu Ye heard the sound of gongs and drums.

And the sound was getting closer and closer until someone arrived at the door of his house.

"Xu Yingxiong, what are you busy with? I heard that you sprained your ankle and asked for leave to recuperate at home."

A man in a Zhongshan suit walked in and looked at Xu Ye with a smile.

"Director Lin, I just want to get some bamboo and make a wheelchair for my brother-in-law." Xu Ye quickly put down the work in his hands.

It must have been Yang Zongming who said it was a sprain, so he naturally couldn't say that he was not injured.

Xu Ye was indeed planning to make a bamboo wheelchair. As for the bamboos, he had already opened up the joints and was just waiting for the plastic pipes and faucets to be in place.

"Look at how enthusiastic our Xu Zhiqing is. He is not only a little hero, but also a role model among his brothers-in-law."

"Your heroic performance has saved the commune from a great loss. I am here to express my condolences on behalf of the commune."

"Come on, bring the stuff up."

As he spoke, someone came in, leading a little donkey with a red flower hanging on it and a gun covered with red paper.

"The commune knows your difficulties and specially rewards you with a donkey, hoping to help you solve some of the difficulties in your life."

"And this gun. I hope you can use it to protect the brigade, the commune, and defeat all criminals." As he said that, Director Lin picked up the Type 38 rifle and handed it to Xu Ye.

Xu Ye quickly took the gun with a look of joy on his face.

He hadn't expected the commune to be so generous as to add a big wake-up call to the original reward.

A donkey, as a reward from the commune, which he must have kept at home.

It's a little small, but it can be used to some extent.

The outside was filled with people watching the fun, all of them extremely envious.

"This is too good to be true. The commune actually gave a little donkey as a reward?"

"If I had known this earlier, I would have gone to stay at Liu's house. It would be much easier to work with a donkey, and it can also pull carts to transport things."

"This Liu Quansheng is not a beast at all, he is clearly a living god of wealth, bringing wealth to people."

"The gun is useless, but the donkey is very useful. Why didn't the commune say before that it would reward the donkey? Otherwise, I would have gone to squat at the entrance of the village. I said long ago that the beast from the Liu family would definitely come back."

Everyone was talking at once, all filled with envy and sourness.

The value of large livestock is really too high, and private breeding is not allowed without special circumstances. They must be collectively owned.

"There is also this certificate and some bullets, which are also rewards for you." As he said this, Director Lin took off a shoulder bag with a wedding character on it from the donkey and handed them to Xu Ye.

"Thank you to the commune and the organization for their care." Xu Ye hurriedly expressed his gratitude.

With these things, the application he wrote earlier should have a chance of being approved.

After a few pleasantries, Director Lin asked Xu Ye to take good care of his injuries as he had to attend a meeting at the brigade headquarters.

Seeing Fan Dajun pulling his head in the crowd, Xu Ye knew that he must have been criticized.

He did not follow them, but just watched Director Lin and a group of people leave.

He tied the donkey directly in the yard and opened the new bag.

In addition to the award certificate, there was also an enamel cup and bullets in the bag.

These bullets are exactly what he needs.

He took apart the Type 38 rifle in his hand and examined it.

The gun was well maintained and the rifling was not worn much.

It has strong penetrating power and is very suitable for hunting, but it requires high marksmanship, and it is best to be able to hit the head. If it hits a non-vital part of the body, it may pass through directly, giving the prey a chance to escape smoothly.

"It seems like I really need to pray to the Liu family mother and son. Without them, I wouldn't be able to get these good things."

A Type 38 rifle is worth at least three hundred yuan, and an immature donkey can be sold for at least one hundred yuan.

There is also food in the grain storage cave, which cannot be bought even if you have money.

It can be said that all this is because of them, mother and son.

It really wouldn't be justified if I didn't burn a few incense sticks.

The leopard and the black tiger squatted together, looking at the new family member.

Xu Ye checked around and found that it was a female donkey. She was relatively healthy, but a little thin.

At this time, whether it is livestock or humans, they are mostly thin.

There is no way. There is not much grass or fodder, and I am reluctant to use concentrated feed to feed livestock.

But compared to humans, the food that livestock eat is not bad at all.

The main reason they are thin is that they do a lot of work and have no chance to fatten up.

The brigade rang the bell for a meeting, but Xu Ye did not go and continued to work on the chair part of the bamboo wheelchair.

For the wheels on the ground, he planned to use the wheels of a cart.

It’s hard to buy used bicycle wheels nowadays, but the wheels used for carts are still okay.

At the same time, it is also easy to get the certificate to buy it.

Now Li Dongming's wrist can move and his arm is still recovering.

According to Gu Yun's estimation, Li Dongming's hands will be able to regain their vitality in a month or two.

At that time, you will be able to sit up naturally.

"Brother Ye, why is there a donkey at home?"

Jiang Ruoan, who had just arrived home, was surprised to see a little donkey tied in the yard.

"It's a reward from the commune." Xu Ye explained with a smile.

"Really?" Jiang Ruoan quickly ran to the donkey and said, "This is too generous, you can even reward a donkey?"

"Well, but it should also have something to do with my brother-in-law, considering that it is not easy for the two of us to help." Xu Ye and Jiang Ruoan explained.

"Let's go and unload the bricks first." With that, Xu Ye walked outside.

The bricks must have been pulled over, so he had to go outside to help.

Outside, Jiang Ruyue had already started unloading bricks.

Three thousand bricks is a lot of work.

If three people work together, the speed will be much faster.

However, not long after they started unloading, Zhang Sanbao and Zhang Ming, who had just finished a meeting, rushed over to help.

Zhang Gui, Wang Chunhua and others also came to help.

With so many people, the bricks were unloaded quickly.

"Brother, are you planning to build a brick house?" Zhang Sanbao asked curiously.

"No, just build a dry toilet and a tanning pool or something."

"In the future, we can tan the fur ourselves, and the price will be higher if it is well processed," Xu Ye explained.

"Brother Ye, what kind of gun did the commune reward us? Can we take a look at it later?" Zhang Xuefeng asked curiously.

He doesn't have a gun yet, but he has already started planning to buy one.

After all, if you want to go hunting in the mountains, you can't go without a gun and then keep taking advantage and getting a share of the money, right?
This is too shameless. Zhang Xuefeng has no face to keep doing this.

If you have a gun, at least it can help with hunting.

"It's a Type 38 rifle. It's right next to the entrance of the hall. You can go and take a look. It's not a very good gun." Xu Ye said generously.

Zhang Ming and Zhang Xuefeng quickly put down the bricks and ran into the yard, ready to check the gun first before coming to help.

"Brother Ye, why don't the commune give these rewards to you in the work team, but instead bring them to your home?" Zhang Sanbao asked curiously.

He had just come with the people from the commune and witnessed the reward process.

"After all, it's not a glorious thing, so how can they make it so formal? If it were something else, they would have wanted to call a bunch of reporters." Xu Ye complained and handed Zhang Sanbao a cigarette.

After the bricks have been unloaded, they need to be moved to the yard.

"It's a pity that I wasn't here last night, otherwise I would have had the opportunity to throw a grenade." Zhang Sanbao said with some regret.

When I was in the militia, I also trained in throwing grenades, but they were fake bombs and would not explode when thrown.

Zhang Sanbao wanted to see the explosion scene and experience the feeling of fighting.

"It's not easy to see an explosion. There will be plenty of opportunities to blow up mountains and dig rivers in the future." Xu Ye said with a smile as he flicked the ash off his cigarette.

The two chatted for a few words and continued to move bricks into the yard.

With strength in numbers, the bricks were quickly moved into the yard and stacked.

Zhang Gui's family was also very envious of Xu Ye for receiving the reward of a donkey.

Not only that, even the captain's wife Lin Feng'er, who rarely showed up in the team, came to visit.

Lin Feng'er has a plump figure and fair skin, which is rare in this era.

She exudes the aura of a young woman, and she attracts men's attention as soon as she appears.

However, Xu Ye felt that it was just average. He had seen too many of them in later generations and didn’t have much feeling about them.

　Godfather, do you still have monthly tickets?
