Reborn in '77, I have a job panel!

Qian Cheng sat down on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed) and said, "Brother, I want to talk to you about something."

Qian Lu asked, "What's up?"

Qian Cheng told Qian Cheng about his trip to the county and his idea of ​​wild vegetables and eggs.

Qian Lu was stunned after hearing this: "Will this work?"

Qian Cheng said, "It's feasible. The situation at the mine is basically stable, and I've also figured out the situation at the factories in the county."

When the wild vegetables come into season in spring, we'll harvest them and send them directly to them.

If the product is good and the price is fair, why wouldn't people want it?

Qian Lu thought for a moment and nodded: "That's true."

Qian Cheng said, "Brother, I can't handle this alone. From now on, you can help me run errands in the county and deliver to the mine. I'll stay home to receive the goods and arrange for delivery. Let's divide the work and make things go smoothly."

Qian Lu smiled and said, "Okay, whatever you say."

The two talked for a while longer before Qian Cheng went back.

With nothing to do in the afternoon, he sat on the kang (a heated brick bed) and opened a book.

Student proficiency +1

A notification flashed before my eyes.

He glanced at the panel; his student career level was just a hair's breadth away from reaching level two.

It's already mid-March.

The snow in the ground has mostly melted, revealing dark, soft soil along the roadside.

The wind wasn't so cold anymore; it didn't sting my face, but rather felt warm and cozy.

The hillside outside Laowozi Village is already showing signs of turning green from a distance.

These are grass sprouts; in a while, the wild vegetables in the mountains should be available.

Qian Cheng has been extremely busy these days.

The bean sprout business is thriving; fifty catties are delivered to the mine every day, and they sell in town on market days.

Qian Lu runs around every day, and he's gotten thinner from all the running, but he's full of energy and always has a smile on his face.

Qian Cheng has also saved up a lot of money.

That evening, he took the money out of the cabinet and counted it one bill at a time.

One hundred and seventy-seven pieces.

He folded the money neatly, clutched it in his hand, and felt its weight.

"Mom, brother, sister-in-law, come here for a moment," he called out to the outer room.

Hou Yufen was cooking when she heard the shout, so she wiped her hands and went inside.

Qian Lu and his sister-in-law also came over from next door, not knowing what was going on.

Qian Cheng put the money on the kang (a heated brick bed).

"Brother, sister-in-law, Mom, take a look at this money."

All three of them were stunned.

Hou Yufen stared wide-eyed at the pile of money: "This...how much is this?"

"One hundred and seventy-seven yuan, all earned from the bean sprout business these past few days."

Qian Lu gasped.

He knew bean sprouts could make money, but he didn't expect them to make this much.

He goes to the mine every day these days, carrying fifty catties a day, earning one mao per catty, which is five yuan a day.

He calculated that he could earn more than a hundred yuan a month.

But that was gross profit. After deducting costs, he didn't expect to save so much.

Qian Cheng counted out thirty yuan from a pile of money and handed it to Qian Lu.

"Brother, this is yours."

Qian Lu hesitated for a moment, then didn't answer.

"What are you doing?"

"This is the money you earned through hard work this past month. You went to the mine every day, you were much more tired than me. Here, take this money."

Qian Lu waved his hand: "No, no, this is too much. You were the one who figured out the bean sprouts and the path you laid out. I just contributed my efforts. How can I take so much?"

Qian Cheng looked at him and said, "Brother, you have to keep this money."

Qian Lu waved his hand again: "Really, no, just give me a few dollars as a token."

Qian Cheng shoved the money into his hand: "Brother, listen to me."

Qian Lu looked at him.

Qian Cheng said, "Brother, we're brothers, but even brothers keep clear accounts."

If you put in the effort, you should get paid.

If you don't accept it, then I won't partner with you anymore.

Qian Lu opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Qian Cheng added, "Besides, your sister-in-law's baby is getting bigger and bigger."

In a few days you should take your sister-in-law to the county hospital for a check-up to see how the baby is doing.

We also need to buy clothes, bedding, and a crib for the child.

"What doesn't cost money? Just keep it."

Qian Lu looked down at his wife's belly, which was indeed getting bigger and bigger.

He's been so busy running around the mines these days that he hasn't really thought about these things in detail.

The older sister-in-law listened from the side, her eyes a little red.

Qian Lu was silent for a moment, then reached out and took the thirty yuan.

"Okay, I'll keep it." He looked at Qian Cheng, "Chengzi, I'll remember this favor."

Qian Cheng smiled and said, "Brother, we're family, so let's not be so formal."

He counted out ten more yuan from the pile of money and handed them to Hou Yufen.

"Mom, this is yours."

Hou Yufen was taken aback: "Why are you giving it to me?"

Qian Cheng said, "Mom, you've helped me take care of the bean sprouts these past few days, watering them, checking the temperature, and harvesting them. You've put in a lot of effort, so this money is what you deserve."

Hou Yufen's eyes welled up as she looked at the ten yuan Qian Cheng handed her.

She has never saved any money in her entire life.

Her husband passed away early, and she raised her two sons alone, scrimping and saving every penny.

Now her son is giving her money, saying it's what she earned from working.

She took the money, clutched it in her hand, and remained silent for a long time.

Qian Cheng picked up the remaining money, counted it, and found that there were still 137 yuan left.

He pulled out a hundred yuan and put it in his pocket.

"This hundred yuan must be returned to my master."

Hou Yufen nodded: "It's only right. Your master paid you that hundred yuan back then to save your life, so you have to pay him back."

Qian Cheng nodded and put the remaining thirty-seven yuan back into the cabinet.

"Keep these thirty-seven for harvesting wild vegetables."

Qian Lu asked, "Wild vegetables? Are we really going to do this?"

Qian Cheng said, "Yes, spring is just around the corner, and the wild vegetables in the mountains will be available soon."

Aralia elata shoots, dandelion, bracken, and wild garlic grow all over the mountains and fields.

We can collect them, sell them to the mines, sell them to the county, and that will bring in another sum of money.

Qian Lu thought for a moment and said, "So what are you planning to do?"

Qian Cheng said, "I plan to go to the team leader tomorrow and ask him to organize the people in our village."

With the team leader in charge, when I announce the harvest, everyone trusts me, and it works well.

Qian Lu nodded: "Okay, I'll do as you say."

After dividing the money, Qian Cheng carefully put it away and went out.

He was going to his master's house.

When we arrived at the Zhang family's house, it was still dark.

The aroma of food wafted through the courtyard. Zhang Mingxi was squatting by the stove watching the fire when he saw Qian Cheng come in. His eyes lit up, and he stood up and ran over.

"Money is the future!"

Qian Cheng looked at her and smiled: "Watching the fire?"

"Mmm." Zhang Mingxi moved closer to him. "You're here?"

Deng Jingshu came out of the house, saw Qian Cheng, and said with a smile, "Chengzi, you're here? Perfect timing, come in quickly, dinner will be ready soon."

Qian Cheng followed him into the house.

Zhang Changtian sat on the kang (a heated brick bed), holding a plane in his hand, repairing a wooden stool.

Seeing Qian Cheng come in, he put down what he was doing and raised his eyelids slightly.

"You're here?"

"You're here." Qian Cheng walked over and sat down opposite him.

Zhang Mingxi sat down next to Qian Cheng, keeping his eyes fixed on him.

Deng Jingshu went to the kitchen to busy herself, leaving only the three of them in the house.

Qian Cheng took out a hundred yuan from his pocket, folded it neatly, and handed it to Zhang Changtian.

"Master, here's your money back."
