Reborn in '77, I have a job panel!

Just as the installation was finished, Qian Lu arrived: "Chengzi, how much are you delivering today?"

"Thirty-four catties at the mine, fifty-six catties in the county."

"Brother, you'll have to work hard at the mine, I'll run errands to the county."

Qian Lu nodded, put the thirty-four jin of wild vegetables into the basket, and picked them up to test the weight.

"Okay, I'm leaving."

He carried his load on his shoulder and went out the door.

Qian Cheng also carried a basket on his back and headed towards the town.

When he arrived in town, he caught the bus to the county. He boarded the bus, placed his basket at his feet, and protected it from being squeezed.

The bus was packed with people.

Qian Cheng leaned against the window, looking at the scenery outside.

The snow in the fields had long since melted away, and patches of green had appeared.

The poplar trees by the roadside are sprouting tender buds, and the branches sway gently in the wind.

Upon arriving in the county, Qian Cheng immediately went to Qingping Restaurant.

Entering through the back door, Old Wei was busy at work. Seeing Qian Cheng come in, he greeted him, "You're here? How much are you delivering today?"

Qian Cheng put down the basket: "Forty catties. It contains tender shoots of wild aralia, dandelion, bracken, and wild garlic."

Old Wei walked over, took a look, and nodded: "Good quality, weigh it."

It was still ten catties of each item. Old Wei had the accountant count out twelve yuan and ninety cents and handed it to Qian Cheng.

Qian Cheng took the money and put it away.

Before Qian Cheng left, Lao Wei called him back: "Boss Cui said that your wild vegetables are good, and he will deliver them every day from now on. Forty catties is not enough, so you can deliver more in the future."

Qian Cheng nodded: "Okay, Master Wei, I've got it."

After leaving Qingping Restaurant, Qian Cheng went to several other restaurants.

After running around all morning, I delivered all the remaining thirteen pounds of wild vegetables.

I collected a total of eighteen dollars.

He didn't finish his work until the sun was high in the sky.

He found a small restaurant, ordered a bowl of noodles, and after finishing the noodles, he went to a department store and bought some things: two pounds of brown sugar, two pounds of pastries, and a piece of cloth.

The brown sugar and pastries are for Zhang Mingxi, and the fabric is for his mother.

After buying his things, he went to the station to catch his train.

It was still early when we got back to the village.

Qian Cheng first went to the Zhang family.

Zhang Mingxi was reading a book in the room, and a radio was playing on the kang (a heated brick bed).

Hearing the door open, she looked up and saw Qian Cheng come in. Her face immediately lit up with a genuine smile of joy.

"Money is the future!"

Qian Cheng walked over and placed the brown sugar and pastries on the table.

"For you."

Zhang Mingxi glanced at it and complained reproachfully, "Why are you wasting money again?"

Qian Cheng dismissed it: "I bought it on the way, it wasn't expensive anyway."

Zhang Mingxi smiled and put the things away.

Qian Cheng looked at the radio: "How does it sound?"

As soon as the radio was mentioned, Zhang Mingxi's mouth immediately lit up: "It's great! I listened to it last night. The People's Broadcasting Station had an English lecture, and it was explained very clearly. I learned several words from it."

Qian Cheng nodded: "That's good. If you listen to it every day from now on, your English will definitely improve."

Zhang Mingxi looked at him, her eyes sparkling.

"Qian Cheng, thank you."

Qian Cheng scratched his head, grinned mischievously, and peeked in to see that his master and mistress were not home. He pointed to his lips and said, "No need for thanks, let's get something more practical."

Zhang Mingxi playfully pinched Qian Cheng, thankfully not hard. After looking around to make sure her parents weren't home, she dared to tiptoe and gently kiss Qian Cheng on the lips.

*smack*

The two talked for a while longer before Qian Cheng stood up to say goodbye: "I have to go back now."

Zhang Mingxi saw him to the door and watched him walk away before turning back into the house.

When Qian Cheng returned home, he gave the fabric to Hou Yufen.

"Mom, this is for you."

Hou Yufen took it and looked at it. It was a piece of blue cloth, thick and sturdy, just right for making a garment.

"How much will this cost?"

Hou Yufen was overjoyed when she saw the piece of fabric. Over the years, she had often bought fabric and made clothes herself to save money, so she could tell at a glance that the fabric felt different from the cheap fabrics she had bought before, and that it must be expensive.

Qian Cheng waved his hand decisively, choosing not to answer the question, lest his mother find out the price and make him return it: "It's not much, you can use it to make clothes."

Qian Cheng went to the brigade headquarters.

There were still so many people, and the queue was incredibly long.

Wild vegetables were piled up in heaps: tender shoots of prickly ash, dandelion, bracken, and wild garlic, forming several small mountains.

Qian Cheng took the scale and helped with the work.

As the sun slowly began to set, the queue was finally finished.

Qian Cheng counted the accounts; a total of 110 jin had been collected today.

"One hundred and ten jin, that's more than yesterday."

"That's right. Everyone knows it can be sold for money, so they're all rushing up the mountain. In a few more days, the mountain will be completely harvested."

Qian Cheng started picking wild vegetables.

Zhang Mingxi also came from home to help. The three of them squatted on the ground, picking out items and chatting.

After picking the wild vegetables, it was getting dark.

Zhang Mingxi stood up, dusted himself off, and looked at Qian Cheng.

"Qian Cheng, I have to go back now."

Qian Cheng immediately stood up: "I'll take you."

The two walked back side by side.

Just as they were about to reach the Zhang family's door, Zhang Mingxi stopped.

Zhang Mingxi asked Qian Cheng to wait for her for a little while, then ran home. A short while later, she ran out of the house again, this time with a notebook in her hand.

"for you."

Qian Cheng took it and saw that it was a small notebook.

Opening it, you'll find it filled with English words and translations.

"This is what I copied from the radio last night and today. Take it and look at it before you go to bed tonight."

Qian Cheng felt a warmth in his heart as he held the small notebook.

He looked up, his gaze fixed intently on her.

Zhang Mingxi blushed and lowered her head.

Qian Cheng reached out, pulled her over, and hugged her.

"Thanks."

Zhang Mingxi whispered in his arms, "Let's study together, go to university together, and..."

As Zhang Mingxi spoke, her voice grew softer and softer; only she knew the last words she uttered.

Qian Cheng released her, looked into her eyes, and nodded.

"Yes, let's learn together."

Zhang Mingxi smiled, turned around, ran into the yard, and closed the door.

Qian Cheng stood there, looking at the small notebook in his hand, feeling a warm glow in his heart.

He turned and walked back.

The moon rose and shone on the road.

As he walked, he flipped through the small notebook and read it by the moonlight.

"abandon" means to give up.

ability.

......

Qian Cheng walked briskly while reciting the words.

For the next few days, Qian Cheng went to the county every day.

The wild vegetables served at Qingping Restaurant weigh forty to fifty catties every day, without fail.

The other restaurants also gradually opened up sales channels.

Some wanted ten jin, some wanted five jin, and it added up to quite a lot.

At the mine, the daily allowance is 30 jin (15 kg), without fail.

Qian Lu went to the mine every day, and he lost weight, but his spirits were much better than before.
