Chapter 2 The New Family
Fang Dajun dreamed that he had a very long dream, which was a completely different life. In the dream, he was born in 1967 and his name was Fang Dajun. He grew up under the people's commune system. Now in 1982, he was fifteen years old and graduated from junior high school at the age of fourteen last year. As a result, he failed to pass the junior high school entrance exam, not to mention technical secondary school, even ordinary high school.
There are a total of six people in the family, and their parents are alive. They are all honest farmers. The eldest sister is 20 years old and married to the next town last year. The second sister is 18 years old and farms at home. He is the third child, and there are nine-year-old fourth sister and six-year-old fifth sister.
My father is very bored and not good at speaking. He is a traditional old farmer style. His mind is extremely serious. When his mother gave birth to two girls in a row, his father was stern all day long. In addition to working, he didn't even care about the private areas at home. He slept with his head on his head every day, which made his mother so angry that he often hid and cried secretly. Until his birth, his mother finally became proud. His father finally had a smile on his face, and he instantly changed from a lazy man to a production model. If it weren't for being uneducated, he could not escape as a production team leader, and even so, he was highly valued by commune cadres, and all his work was considered a major job.
There was no family planning back then, so he gave birth to two more children in a row. After the fourth and fifth sisters were born, his father stopped his plan to continue to ask for his son. His only "tea pot spout" became the treasure of the family, and he gave him all the delicious and fun things.
This made him not only strong, but also domineering. He is the No. 1 "Sky Stick" character in the village, but in a common sense he is the half-grown child king.
This area is an extremely remote town under Neifeng City. His home is not far from the town and belongs to the 11th Group of Team 2, Xinqiao Village.
He was originally working on a coal yard. He only dug out a small cart of coal every day, and the commune brigade could be considered a big worker, selling hard work, but he could basically get a truck of coal in more than half a day, and he could go around the rest of the time. After graduating from junior high school, he had been digging coal for almost a year, and gradually adapting to this kind of life.
Who knew that the autumn mold that had been falling for eight lifetimes today, but the geese were pecked by birds all day long. When cleaning the coal sand in the coal cave, a landslide occurred and buried him inside. Fortunately, there were other people in the cave. Soon he was dug out and rushed to the town health center.
He was suddenly shocked when he recalled the moment before he lost consciousness. He was planning to go across the street, as if he was hit by a truck. "Did I travel through time? I traveled through time until 1982."
At this moment, a familiar and unfamiliar cry came from my ears, "Son, you must not have anything to do. If something happens to you, the old man will follow you!"
The strong local accent was in dialect, but he understood it. The old man meant his father, and going down or leaving meant death.
Before he could think about how to deal with it, his eyelids instinctively opened and he opened his mouth and said, "Old man, I'm fine, I'm just a little dizzy!" His local accent naturally popped up.
"Okay, it's fine. When you have good cultivation, don't dig coal. Go to burn bricks with the old man and teach you step by step. You can work as a big worker even after working for half a year." Fang Donghua's skin is dark and tall, but she looks very thin. Her hands are very rough and calloused, and her face is a bit tough. She looks like a fierce man who can do heavy work, but at this moment, tears are on her face.
"Old man, don't cry, am I okay?" Fang Dajun instinctively comforted that it is the People's Commune period, and the collective work points system is the system. Only strong men can count full work, that is, large work. Children have at most three divisions of labor a day, while women generally only have seven or eight divisions of labor. However, not to mention that the difference is not big, but after a year, large work can be divided into more food.
The idea of favoring boys over girls in rural areas is actually left over from this period. Because boys can earn major jobs, after the people's commune is over, boys will give priority to allocating more fertile land. In addition, men have inherent advantages over women, and some heavy work can only be done by men, which further highlights the status of men in a family. In addition, there is naturally the old traditional idea of inheriting the family line.
Ten minutes later, he had figured out the matter. Except for his parents and two sisters, the rest of the ward were all commune brigade cadres. He was injured in his work, and the expenses were reimbursed by the commune. These cadres would come so enthusiastically to visit him. First, the people's customs are indeed simple now, and second, it is because these cadres can also be considered as workers, and they can also take the excuse to go to the town to stroll around. After calculating from side to side, his work injury brought benefits to many people.
As a novel lover, it is not so difficult to accept this kind of thing, and it is just thirty years ago and the original province. When it is developed, it will go back to look for the original parents. It will not be said to recognize relatives, but it will be filial.
Before calming down, I recalled the night before traveling, and he talked with Xiao Chen Chang about coal information for seven hours. It was a coincidence that the town here happened to mention that this town was so famous that it was called a rich town thirty years later.
Because all the twenty towns in this county can dig out coal, the county has enough coal reserves of tens of billions of tons, and this town is the most abundant area among them. After decades of digging, it has not been hollowed out, and countless coal generations have been created. Coal miners generally have a monthly salary of tens of thousands of yuan, which is more than four times the average salary of the provincial capital at that time and twenty times the township social security standard. Not to mention coal bosses, these coal miners have become local tyrants.
Could it be that God saw that he was pitiful and wanted him to deal with coal?
"Old man, how much does a ton of coal cost now?" Fang Dajun asked with his eyes shining. Although he had been digging coal for a year, he was young after all, and he would not have cared about these issues before. He was just calculating how many full labor he earned.
"Last three yuan was over last year, but it seemed to have risen to five yuan a few days ago. Only the accountant on the team knew about it." Fang Donghua thought.
Fang Dajun was almost excited to jump out of the bed when he heard this. What does this mean? Thirty years later, this raw coal has been sold for 70,800 tonnes. The price has not calculated the transportation cost. The price of civilian coal has exceeded 1,000. Of course, different coal prices will vary. It has increased by more than a hundred times. If he digs 10,000 tons of coal to store it now, he will be able to sell it for nearly 100 million yuan in thirty years. If he digs 100,000 tons, one million tons...
"Son, what's wrong with you? Don't think about coal. Once you have good health, go to work bricks. You can get a big job, and nothing can happen!" Fang Donghua's body is still trembling now. After hearing the news that his son was injured, he ran all the way from the brick yard to the town. Fortunately, his son is not seriously injured, otherwise it would be boring for him to live for the rest of his life. It would be better to go down with his son.
Fang Dajun said how could he not want coal? If he didn't seize the opportunity to become a coal generation during this period, it would be useless to travel through this fate.
"Old man, mom, I want to go back!" Fang Dajun changed the topic and said, not talking about coal for the time being. When the health is good, he said that the hospital just said that it was not a serious problem, but he couldn't get out of bed. He had to recuperate well for a few days and was judging the situation.
"Okay, I'll go and say hello to the master below!" Fang Donghua said and left the ward.
And he was about to get out of bed, but a few half of the big children appeared at the door. Fang Dajun adapted very quickly because he had received the original owner's memory and shouted: "Qin Da, Qin Er, Skinny Monkey, come in when you come!"
"Hehe, Dajun, how are you doing?" Several people walked in with a shout.
The clothes can only be described as beggars. The three of them are only the eldest son of the Qin family wearing shoes. Qin Er and the Shouhou are both barefoot. They don’t know how many times they have washed their pants and have applied a lot of patches. It is obvious that the adults have worn them and changed them to the smaller ones. The three of them must have just arrived after work, and the sweat and mud are mixed together, making them look even more glamorous.
But Fang Dajun himself was even more dismal. He had a pair of black shorts on his lower body, but his original color was white. This was his work clothes for digging coal, and his upper body was made of green cloth long sleeves. It was made of the commune sewing machine. The whole village was in this style, but it was quite durable.
"Da Jun, I heard from Uncle Guang that you will not dig coal when you are done." The boss of the Qin family asked. His name was Qin Shou. This name sounded nothing now. He originally hoped that he could live a long life, but it would be quite strange that Qin Shou's homophonic voice was equivalent to a beast after many years.
The two brothers of the Qin family are his coal friends. All three of them work in a coal cave. However, the thin monkey is not in good health. They feed pigs in the production team and boil water in the bathhouse. Naturally, coal is used to boil water. As soon as the four of them come and go, they become the best-knit bad friends.
"Let's talk about this when you go back. You are here just in time. Help me get out of bed!" Fang Dajun couldn't talk much about coal for the time being.
"Brother, I'll help you!" "Brother, I'll come too!" The two sisters also surrounded him, both of whom were not wearing shoes, very thin, with a little yellow hair, obviously malnourished. As for his family status, sometimes higher than his mother, one is that he can earn a full job now, and the other is because he is a man.
Being a man is actually a very happy thing in the countryside where you prefer boys to girls, of course, the premise is that you can support your family!
"Is this the township in the 1980s?" Fang Dajun was stunned as soon as he left the ward. Although he had the memory of his former master, the situation in the town in front of him still surprised him.
