Chapter 304: Arrangement for Sister-in-Law
At night, there are three people in a bed again.
Liu Xiaofei and Zhou Ruoyu lie down together and play games. Even if they don't play games, they still like to watch dramas together, mainly because they can complain together. When Liu Xiaofei and Luo Cheng watch dramas together, they mostly have arguments. Moreover, Luo Cheng doesn't like watching some stupid dramas.
In the past, it was enough for three people to share a bed, but now the weather makes it impossible to cover them with quilts. There is no need to turn on the air conditioner. For Luo Cheng, he can sleep very comfortably just by wearing pants. But Zhou Ruoxue's presence made Luo Cheng feel a little unnatural.
Luo Cheng went to bed a little 'early' tonight. People who play with mobile phones can count as going to bed early if they can go to bed around ten o'clock. In a daze, Luo Cheng felt Liu Xiaofei touching him. But he was in no mood to wake up, mainly because he was already sleepy and unwilling to move, and also because Liu Xiaofei's cousin was here, so he couldn't call her out temporarily.
~~
The guest house does not check whether men and women are in the same room during the day. You can enter and leave the guest house around six o'clock.
Early in the morning, Zheng Ke came to the guest house to find Luo Cheng. Clingy people are just annoying. She just wanted to cling to people and make out with them, and had no other thoughts. And when a man is intimate with a woman, it is easy for him to do inappropriate things. The result is that every time it is Luo Cheng who wants the same thing.
After briefly washing up in the guest house, Luo Cheng and Zheng Ke went back to her home. I bought some fried dough sticks on the way, and Zheng Ke made porridge at home.
"Keke, I want to discuss something with you. Your sister doesn't have a job right now. How about asking her to do something for me."
"To help you with work, why don't you let her go to Jiangcheng?"
In Zheng Ke's view, besides working at Changcheng Machinery Factory, Luo Cheng's other place was the office in Jiangcheng. Luo Cheng asked her sister to help, so she naturally thought she was going to Jiangcheng.
If he was going to Jiangcheng, Zheng Xin would have to go to the street to get a certificate for visiting relatives. Nowadays, when rural people go to other places, they have to go to the brigade commune to get a certificate. City dwellers also need a certificate when going to other provinces.
"That's not necessary. I plan to go to the poultry factory here today to discuss a cooperation. If it works out, I can ask your sister to help take care of it. I can give your sister some hard work money."
Hearing what Luo Cheng said, Zheng Ke felt that this was his man helping his sister, so he naturally had no problem with it. In fact, let alone Luo Cheng giving benefits to her sister, with Zheng Ke's love-minded temperament, if there is no benefit, Zheng Ke will let her sister help as long as it is not a crime.
A love-minded woman is not a demon who helps her younger brother. This kind of woman can betray her whole family when she meets a bad man.
Arriving at Zheng Ke's house, Zheng Xin saw Luo Cheng coming with fried dough sticks, and the brother-in-law called him affectionately. He called him brother-in-law, and then took a fried dough stick directly from Luo Cheng's hand. Luo Cheng couldn't refuse.
Zheng Ke's parents warmly entertained Luo Cheng. Zheng Ke's mother will inform Zheng Ke's uncle and aunt today that her grandparents live in the uncle's house. Naturally, she will also invite them together, and even let Zheng Ke's grandparents stay in the evening. Come over and have a meal first and tell them about Luo Cheng's situation.
Luo Cheng, on the other hand, plans to go to the poultry factory here first. As long as the chicken exchange cooperation is negotiated, Zheng Ke's sister can be in charge here in the future. The other thing is to give her the responsibility of arranging some manual work.
The cooperation with the Macheng Poultry Factory was very easy, because this time Luo Cheng also brought the receipt form from the Jiangcheng Poultry Factory. There are signatures and seals, and Luo Cheng said that several cities are already changing breeds. The number of new varieties is limited. If you don’t want them here, choose other cities to promote them first. Don’t wait until they are all promoted and then go up to the pole to beg them.
No matter how you look at it, it's a cooperation that won't make a loss, and Jiangcheng has nearly a thousand signatures. And using eggs to pay off debts is something every city must contribute. Just because the eggs produced by the new breed are larger than the current ones, this will allow poultry factories to try them.
At this time, in a poultry factory far away in Jiangcheng, the chickens that Luo Cheng exchanged with their factory are now really being raised as treasures. The raw eggs are larger than the eggs laid by the chickens in their factory. Now the technicians in the factory are directly planning to get a batch of hatchable eggs. I feel that just relying on Luo Cheng's exchange of hundreds or hundreds of animals is too slow.
The total number of chickens, ducks and geese in poultry factories is tens of thousands. Among them, the number of chickens is the largest. Anyone who sees a breed of chicken that is big in size and lays big eggs will want to replace all the previous breeds.
In the evening, after dinner, Zheng Ke pulled Zheng Xin into the room. In the past, the two of them slept in the same room. If Luo Cheng wanted to sleep at Zheng Ke's house, she would have to sleep in her brother Zheng Jianguo's room.
"Sister, brother-in-law, why are you looking for me?"
"Your brother-in-law has something good for you. Do you want to find something to do? You are not young anymore. Don't idle around outside all day. Although helping your brother-in-law is not a formal job, as long as you work hard for your brother-in-law, your brother-in-law will I won’t treat you badly.”
"Really, brother-in-law, tell me what you want me to do and how to do it."
Luo Cheng felt a little embarrassed, maybe because he likes to talk about doing things. The main reason is that Luo Cheng's own brain is a little dirty. In the future era, doing it and doing it are no longer very elegant words.
But in this day and age, when a man tells a woman I want to fuck you, the woman will only think of fighting, not that aspect.
"Well, I also follow your sister and call you Xinxin. The thing is, I discussed a cooperation with your poultry factory in Macheng today. In a few days, I will arrange a truck to deliver a batch of new breeds of chickens to exchange with the poultry factory. If you are willing to help, and I heard that you have many friends outside, you can go to help load and unload. Of course, this is just a side job. The main thing is that I have a lot of manual work here. See if you can find some people to process it for me. Every time a car comes in the future, you can load the processed things for me~~~."
Luo Cheng began to talk to Zheng Xin in detail about the things he wanted to help. With his sister-in-law as a helper, he could develop another region, and no one would have to come here.
As for the poultry factory, Luo Cheng couldn't set up an office everywhere and run around to exchange. Luo Cheng planned to really contact a few transportation stations and help him transport goods by giving benefits privately.
For example, in Changcheng, he could find a car there to transport a batch of feed chickens and some raw materials for manual work to Macheng. In Macheng, my sister-in-law Zheng Xin is in charge of exchanging chickens with the poultry factory and loading the processed products to Jiangcheng.
In Jiangcheng, even if Luo Cheng is not there, Zheng Ke can find someone to help deal with it.
Another point is that the spring harvest will be here in about a month. The rice of this era will be considered green ecological rice in the future.
In the future, his ecological rice shop will have more and more regular customers, and there is no need to advertise at all. Many rich people really don’t care whether the rice is 100 yuan a bag or 500 yuan. Because a person can’t eat much rice in a month, even if the rice is 10 yuan a catty, a person will only spend a few hundred yuan a month.
Luo Cheng’s rice shop basically relies on word of mouth, and acquaintances introduce acquaintances to each other. Luo Cheng contacted some customers who bought his eels and loaches at the beginning, and then he never advertised again. The shop he opened is not in a busy place.
The current rice shop business has made Luo Cheng want to raise the price. Luo Cheng is now looking for the former team leader Liu Yong to make some concessions at the Changcheng Grain Station, the channel for getting rice in the future era. He said that he wanted to put a few mouse cages in the granary at night and catch a few mice for fun.
But such an excuse is fine once or twice. Every time the grain station receives new rice, Luo Cheng goes to catch mice. And he is there late at night, which is somewhat weird. If Luo Cheng really didn't take anything away, people would suspect that he has other improper purposes.
So Luo Cheng plans to change his strategy this year and plans to use the method of open exchange to get new rice. Many unit canteens need rice every day. The canteen warehouse of the machinery factory alone has dozens of bags of rice in reserve. And nearly a thousand people eat it, and dozens of bags of rice are actually only enough for about a week.
Luo Cheng thinks it is much safer to calculate the rice for the unit canteen than to get rice from the grain station. The main reason is that the door of the grain warehouse of the grain station is closed at night, and it will not be opened even if there is no grain transfer during the day. Luo Cheng asked Liu Yong for help, but he was actually reluctant.
It was a bit strange to catch rats in the granary late at night. In the past, there were indeed many rats in the granary. But now, they are all meat. The people in the security department of the grain station catch rats every day. Rat meat is a good thing these days.
Luo Cheng's idea is very simple. The new rice is more fragrant, but the price is no different from that of old rice. Luo Cheng plans to go to the Future Times to get old rice to exchange for new rice, and add some extra coarse grains and miscellaneous grains. Ten kilograms of old rice and new rice, plus half a kilogram of coarse grains, will definitely make people excited.
The reason for exchanging old rice is not that there is no new rice in the Future Times, but that new rice is exchanged for new rice, and others will not understand.
"Then brother-in-law, you said you would find someone to help, and there is also mine, how is the salary calculated?"
"I will give you five dollars for each loading and unloading, no matter how many people you call, but don't delay the driver's work. In addition, the processing of hand ropes, hair ropes and other items will be paid to you in a form. If you find some people to help with the processing, I will give you some extra wages."
Now the average wage of a worker is only about one dollar a day. It doesn't take much time to unload a truckload of goods and then load another truckload. Unloading will be faster, and the chicken cages can be unloaded on the ground. Then you have to change the chickens, and people have to catch them in and out. But this time cannot be delayed for too long. Nowadays, drivers rarely drive all night and cannot delay the daytime.
It's not that the driver is unwilling to drive at night. The driver basically brings an apprentice with him. Apprentices can generally drive, but they don't dare to drive on some bad road conditions.
In this era, the roads are really too bad. There are no street lights outside the city. You have to drive very slowly. If you don't pay attention, you will drive into the ditch. And many people suffer from night blindness at night due to malnutrition or lack of certain vitamins.
So if the driver comes here during the day, he really needs to load and unload the goods quickly. But if you find four or five people at a time, it can be done within two hours at most, and each person gets one dollar, it is guaranteed that many people are willing to do it. Zheng Xin is a very smart girl, she will take more.
Hearing the treatment given by Luo Cheng, you can feel that her eyes are bright in the dim light.
The next day, everything went on normally, and Zheng Ke's brother came back in the morning. Zheng Ke's father used the national food coupons to exchange some hard candy coupons from someone somewhere, bought some candies and distributed them to colleagues in the unit, and a few neighbors who had a good relationship also gave some.
As for the milk candies brought by Luo Cheng and Zheng Ke, these are high-end goods and can be given as high-end gifts. It is impossible to give them to others as wedding candies.
Zheng Ke's grandparents and uncle came in the afternoon, while his uncle and aunt came later. Luo Cheng honestly answered questions in front of the elders. To be honest, if it weren't for the profession of a purchaser, which has a lot of extra benefits, Luo Cheng, a grassroots deputy section chief, really didn't deserve Zheng Ke.
Zheng Ke is a college student, and if he becomes a regular employee, he will be treated as a cadre. He can work in a magazine and earn about 100 yuan after working for a few years. As for Luo Cheng, his age and education level are his shortcomings.
Zheng Ke's grandparents and uncles and relatives don't have much of a sense of matching, after all, their previous generation also came from the countryside. Now they are just ordinary workers in the city. Facing Luo Cheng, although they are indeed not worthy of Zheng Ke, in their opinion, the person Zheng Ke should find in the future should either be the son of a high-ranking official or a college student.
But Luo Cheng said that Zheng Ke himself said that he was very capable and could get a lot of supplies, which really added a lot of points in this period of tight supplies.
In fact, except for Zheng Ke's grandparents, it was not easy for others to say anything, after all, Zheng Ke's parents agreed. Uncles and aunts can't be villains.
As the new son-in-law of the Zheng family, Luo Cheng also has to maintain some appearance in Zheng Ke's house. If he wants some supplies, he can get some next time. Canned meat, tea, defective cloth, flour, eggs, etc. He can get some, and even "imported" milk powder is not impossible to get.
In this era, many reasons will cause mothers to have no milk after giving birth, or suddenly wean their children. Some families with good conditions have specially hired wet nurses, that is, women with milk to come to the door to feed their children.
As for milk powder, it is really in short supply. Those who can get milk powder will try to wean the child after a few months of feeding.
Anyway, Luo Cheng made a promise and said that if there is a need, just talk to his father-in-law. Even if someone doesn't believe it, at least the appearance is maintained, and it is easy to verify whether what Luo Cheng said is true or false.
Zheng Ke went back to his hometown and didn't take many days off, and it's not good to take too many days off. Luo Cheng also had to go back to Changcheng. He had to apply for a marriage introduction letter from the factory.
However, Luo Cheng applied for a marriage introduction letter with Zhao Qian, even if he had to forge a letter of introduction with Zheng Ke. Luo Cheng had to get Zhao Qian's letter first. In Luo Cheng's opinion, even if it was forged, Zheng Ke couldn't get his marriage certificate in front of Zhao Qian. Zhao Qian had held a banquet with him and had children with him. If there was a distinction between big and small wives, Zhao Qian must be the big wife, and this couldn't be messed up.
So after the family dinner at Zheng Ke's house, Zheng Ke would stay at home for another day, and Luo Cheng would return to Changcheng the next day and buy a train ticket back to Changcheng.
