1949 I am from the future

【416】life

"Yeah, why can't I try to be a tractor driver? It would be great to be able to drive that iron lion. But if that's the case, what will happen to the pillars in the future? What about the land at home?"

Although Fu Yuncui didn't say anything, her heart was itchy like a cat's scratching.

That's right, how could Fu Yuncui be worse than Li Xiuying in the deblinding class?As far as the job of washing the sand is concerned, Fu Yuncui has never been lazy. If it weren't for the fact that he had children at home, Fu Yuncui felt that he could work three shifts a day like Li Xiuying, and he also persisted on the construction site. I didn't return to the village until eleven or twelve o'clock.

Speaking of Li Xiuying's place, when she arrived at the Zhihuai Headquarters, it happened that Xiaoqiang had just got off the plane and drove there.

After listening to the introduction of the local comrades, Xiaoqiang hurried forward to shake hands with Li Xiuying.He carefully looked at the peasant girl in front of him. This was the first time since he came to this age that he had close contact with the working people at the bottom of Chinese society.

I saw that Li Xiuying's skin was a bit dark, and under the infiltration of sweat, she had a healthy bronze color. She was wearing a single gown made of gray earthen cloth. In 2011, this kind of cloth was considered too dirty and rotten to use as a rag. Her nails were black and covered with sand, and her pants were cropped pants, which were also covered with patches. Know how old you started wearing it.The feet are wearing a pair of straw sandals, revealing a pair of strong natural feet with protruding joints and blue blood vessels. The nail on the upper half of the thumb of the left foot is cracked, revealing bright red flesh.But she didn't seem to feel any pain herself.

"You've worked hard, Comrade Li Xiuying!" Xiao Qiang grabbed her hand and said.

As soon as Li Xiuying saw Xiaoqiang, an intellectual with a white face, she immediately felt a kind of admiration for scholars unique to Chinese farmers.She panicked, and said in a repeated voice: "It's not hard, it's not hard... There are work points for work... It's not hard..."

Xiaoqiang held her hand, and felt that the girl's fingers and palms were covered with the kind of broken skin that had been soaked and dried out.He praised with mixed feelings: "It is right to get work points, but not everyone can play the leading role of a model worker. A person can become a model worker, which shows that he is an excellent worker in essence."

Qian Zhengying introduced with a smile from the side: "This time, we plan to promote grassroots model workers, as an example, and assign them to more skilled positions."

Xiaoqiang agreed: "This is very good! The salary of technical positions is better than that of ordinary jobs at the grassroots level. In addition to setting an example in work, model workers should also be set as models in terms of salary! With the exemplary role of model workers, In the future, everyone will compete to be a model worker, which is very good.

Moreover, technical positions are relatively more important, and it is more reassuring to let model workers do it. "

Qian Zhengying said with a smile: "So we are planning to let Li Xiuying be the deputy captain of the women's tractor transport team, and their instructor will temporarily serve as the captain."

Li Xiuying was stunned? "Vice captain? Be an official? No, no, no, I can't do it. I have no education, so I can't be an official."

Xiaoqiang loosened his hold on Li Xiuying's hand, and said, "Anyone who is an official or not is one who takes the lead. If you work diligently, comrades will learn from you. If you do well, comrades will learn from you."

Li Xiuying looked at Xiaoqiang adoringly, and said, "Oh, that's right, report to the chief, I must be diligent! I want to be a tractor driver! I dream of it! I will definitely not be lazy!"

Xiaoqiang smiled and said: "Don't get excited, it's not difficult to drive a tractor. A model worker like you will have to learn how to use a rice transplanter, harvester, and rotary tiller in the future. To become an expert in agricultural machinery, the rural areas of China will gradually improve mechanized farming. The ratio is a long way."

Qian Zhengying said with a smile: "As long as the central government supports me, I can train operators no matter how many machines are given to me."

Xiaoqiang said: "Of course the central government will support you. The systematic Huaihe River governance project has just started, and there will be tough battles ahead. How can we not give you the best guarantee.

Before I came, the Prime Minister said that this anti-terrorism disaster prevention is a major battle to successfully protect people's lives and property. You have done a particularly good job, and you must have worked very hard!Therefore, the Prime Minister specifically proposed that for all the migrant workers who participated in the battle and successfully defended the Huai River embankment and the newly built dam, centimeters can not only be exchanged for money, but also for real goods!The discount ratio of centimeters for physical objects is one to two! "

"What!" Qian Zhengying exclaimed.Of course, it wasn't that she didn't hear clearly, but she couldn't help but exclaimed when she heard such a ratio.

Xiaoqiang looked at the tattered straw sandals on Li Xiuying's feet with pity, and added on his own initiative: "In addition, each person will be given a pair of canvas rubber-soled work shoes, and every month from now on, the migrant workers who are full-time will be given a pair to everyone.

Qian Zhengying's joy was beyond words, "It's great! Many of our migrant workers wear straw sandals, and everyone is reluctant to wear the cloth shoes at home to work. Even if there are cloth shoes, they choose the most shabby ones. Because of this, There are quite a few people who hurt their feet during work. [

Li Xiuying said stupidly: "The country distributes shoes? Canvas rubber shoes? The kind worn by the People's Liberation Army? Those are cloth rubber shoes. A pair costs two yuan and six!"

Xiaoqiang nodded, and said firmly: "Everyone will give out, every month. In the future, everyone must wear those shoes on the construction site, and give out socks, yes! And give out socks."

Although Xiaoqiang finished replenishing the shoes and stockings, Qian Zhengying did not doubt that this was an instruction from the Prime Minister. She complained bluntly: "The comrade who sent the message really saves telegram money. I didn’t mention the preferential ratio of one to two, and I didn’t mention that there are shoes and socks, I should have known earlier, the day before yesterday I encouraged everyone on the dam, and the amount of work in the past few days must have doubled.”

Li Xiuying saw that Xiaoqiang had no leadership airs at all, and Qian Zhengying also looked like an easy-going elder sister. She mustered up her courage and asked timidly: "Then I have three shifts a day, four centimeters each in the morning and afternoon, and three centimeters in the evening. A total of eleven shifts a day." Work points, can you get [-] cents?"

Qian Zhengying said bluntly: "That's right, Li Xiuying, you don't take a day off every month, and if you calculate it, a month's centimeters can be exchanged for [-] yuan in kind.

Hey, Comrade Xiaoqiang, what are the real things? "

Xiaoqiang replied: "Shovel, hoe, sickle, scissors, needlework, long rubber shoes, cloth, soap. That's probably all, and we will add more types in the future. There are a lot of fabrics here, including nylon and polyester in various colors and patterns. Cloth, acrylic and cotton.”

Qian Zhengying said kindly: "Xiuying, go back and change into a few feet of nice-looking nylon cloth and pull on a new jacket. I've seen that cloth before, but it's strong, and it's more affordable than cotton cloth."

After all, she seemed to feel that her words were inappropriate, and explained: "I'm not saying that your clothes are torn, I'm saying that the fabric is really nice... Oh, look, I can't talk. I'm sorry."

"Sister Qian, I know you want to help me. I will definitely tell my father later to change the "golden wheel" cloth."

Li Xiuying held the corner of her clothes in her hands, and continued to explain with a little inferiority: "This gown is the most worn-out piece I have. My father said that farmers always pick up the most worn-out clothes when they work. In fact, I have a good single-cloth gown. I'm not willing to wear it out at home." After all, it seemed that he was a little bit unwilling because he was misunderstood as narrow-minded.

Xiaoqiang nodded to her with a kind smile.

Next, Li Xiuying began to fill out the personal information form for tractor training at the gatehouse of the courtyard occupied by the Huaihe River Management Headquarters, while Xiaoqiang, Qian Zhengying and other engineering personnel went to the office conference room in the south of the courtyard to discuss subsequent projects. construction process.

........................

When the news of the exchange spread, it shocked the people in the eight towns and villages along the Huaihe River.

The centimeters of migrant workers are not very high. Even if they work three shifts in the morning, middle and evening in a day, they will only pay more than three yuan a month.But for those farmers in the impoverished Huaihe River area with an annual income of 27 yuan per capita, if they can work for eight months, their income will be doubled.

What's more, the annual income of 27 yuan is basically the price of farmers' one-year rations, that is to say, basically they can't see the money all year round.

Besides, in order to respond to the chairman's call, everyone is rushing to do this work in Zhihuai for the benefit of the local people, and many migrant workers value the two open big pot meals, and the night shift also has a full supper, which is very important for them. For many families who have a lot of food and cannot eat enough to eat all the year round, it is simply pie in the sky.

In the past, everyone’s strong laborers hoped to do more work in their own fields, take good care of the crops, gather more grain and sell it for money after paying the public grain.But nowadays, after careful calculation by experienced farmers, it is better to let the strongest laborers go to the construction site, so as to make a lot of money and make a lot of money.

After several months of work, the state told the migrant workers that not only centimeters count as money, but also that the state has given them the privilege of centimeters, which can be exchanged for half-price commodities that are in short supply on the market. The villagers were blown away.Even if you change the product and sell it on the market, it is much more cost-effective than directly exchanging work points for money!

Farmers in China have always been careful about budgeting. The current one-to-two exchange method makes the benefits of working out far exceed that of farming, so many farmers simply proposed that only one or two women and children can be left to take care of the land at home. , and all the rest of the labor force went to the construction site.

Xiaoqiang asked the Huaihe River Management Committee to directly reject these suggestions.

The engineering construction headquarters posted a big-character rule that after all the previous work points have been settled, the quota allocation of migrant workers will first take care of those peasant households whose families send all school-age children to school!Followed by military households, and then the labor backbone who performed outstandingly in previous projects.All farmers who have school-age children at home and do not send them to study are not included in the recruitment plan.

In the Xiaoqiang plan, once these migrant workers have built water conservancy projects for a few years and have construction experience, they can train construction teams one by one. This is a large number of construction forces.

........................

Rich Yuncui's father-in-law, Wang Ansheng, sat on the stone millstone in front of his house, took a puff of dry cigarettes, frowned and said, "Yuncui, Zhuzi must be sent to school, this is also what Hong You explained, but he is a soldier outside, and Zhuzi goes to school. You don't farm the land either, so you can't let me, your mother-in-law and your sister-in-law help you plant that land all the time, can you?"

Fu Yuncui hurriedly said: "I don't mean that, I mean, the harvest of my four acres of thin land is only about 800 catties a year, but if you can become a tractor driver, you can learn a craft, one day Even in the morning and afternoon, it is 12 centimeters, which is one more work point than those who work three shifts a day! The money earned will be the wife of our Zhuzi in the future. I heard Xiuying said that after learning to drive a tractor, she will have jobs everywhere, and she can learn to drive a car in the future! The work points will be higher! Maybe they can be converted into household registration and become construction workers.”

Wang Ansheng nodded and said: "If that's the case, of course it is a great blessing.

But you are a woman, can you learn to drive that tractor?I think it's a group of big men driving.If you can't learn it, wouldn't the work points during this one-month training period be in vain?

Right now, you have finally been retained by the engineering headquarters to participate in the second phase of the project. That is a work point that can be exchanged for nearly five yuan a month for good goods!Also send shoes and socks!A good pair of shoes a month!A pair of cloth rubber shoes on your feet is two yuan and six!Your father-in-law and I have never worn it in my life!

Before, our family changed a hoe and a shovel, and also changed a lot of foreign cloth and soap, and I also changed a calico cloth for you to make a jacket in the future. What a wonderful thing that is!Every month you work for the next month, you will get a pair of new shoes for two yuan and six!After working for four months, Zhuzi, your mother-in-law and I all have good shoes to wear.If you don’t do the money-making work in front of you, you go to learn tractors for a month. If you don’t learn it, you may even be squeezed out of the seat of washing sand when you come back.At present, many mothers-in-law and aunts in many families are jealous!On the construction site, the only job women can do is to wash the sand, and women can only count as half of their work for other jobs!Work points less than half!The construction site still refuses to ask for it!

Besides, I think this project is about to be finished, so why do you need to drive a tractor by then, and it's a female tractor, so you can't come back to farm by then. "

Fu Yuncui bit her lip and remained silent.

But she is really not reconciled. She heard from Li Xiuying that the leaders from the central government said that once the power is sufficient in the future, the work of washing sand can be done by machines, so she has no choice but to go home and farm?If he could become a tractor driver like Li Xiuying, it would be a job that many men would be jealous of. Not only would he be paid well, but he would also have status.If you can do that job, according to Li Xiuying, do you still worry about not having a job in the future?

But she couldn't refute the words of her father-in-law, Wang Ansheng. The father-in-law was in charge of the family, so he advised her with kind words. As a daughter-in-law, would she want to rebel if she was disobedient?

"Xiuying, my life is not as good as yours."

Fu Yuncui's heart was cold, she got up and walked to the nearby thatched hut, broke off the dry branches one by one with her rough hands, and stuffed them into the stove, the stove was roasting her, but she didn't feel hot at all.

Fu Yuncui, who got married at the age of 15, is only 22 this year. If she had a choice, how she wished she was still an old maid.Then she can become a tractor driver with 19-year-old Xiuying... Female tractor driver!

The sound of cracking firewood, like Fu Yuncui's dream, was slowly burned into black ash in the stove after being broken.
