The Red Era: Starting from Being an Educated Youth in the Countryside

Chapter 7 A newborn calf is not afraid of death!
Chen Huaiyang put bundles of money on the table and said, "480 yuan, count it." Although he had counted the money, people always trust themselves more and can feel at ease only when they know the amount.

Section Chief Liu was so excited that his hands were shaking a little. He patted his shoulders and said with great excitement, "You are young and promising!"

Chen Huaiyang said, "Then I'll leave first. Comrade leader, we'd better keep a low profile to avoid arousing suspicion. After some time, when it's not so conspicuous, we can spend it later."

Section Chief Liu nodded repeatedly and grabbed his clothes when he turned around. "Wait a minute, I'll get you some tickets."

"If there's nothing else, I can still save up some tickets."

"These are bicycle tickets, sewing machine tickets, and watch tickets. These special industrial products can only be purchased with industrial tickets. These surplus ones are given to you."

"By the way, I'll also bring you some defective fabrics."

"Don't you want to get married? You have to get all these ready. That girl won't be able to escape."

Chen Huaiyang looked at the ticket in his hand that was unique to this era and observed it carefully. It was like someone gave him a pillow when he was sleepy. He really needed a watch.

"I won't refuse you, brother. I really need these. This is a one-time deal. I still have to be down-to-earth in the future."

"Then I'll leave. I have to find a place to stay. It's been a long journey."

Chen Huaiyang did not plan to stay in a guesthouse. At that time, one had to have a certificate to stay in a guesthouse. He left in a hurry and had not prepared anything.

I plan to go to the black market while there is still time.

The road here is long and the sky is high. I guess I can just make ends meet by selling some flour for some money.

He didn't ask for a ticket this time, and simply raised the price to 3 cents per pound. Although the price was more expensive, there would definitely be rich people who would take it.

After all, it is a fine grain and has a priceless market.

Although I have had experience once, I still have to be cautious. Once caught, let alone making money, I will have a reputation as a speculator and will not only be paraded through the streets but also face severe punishment!

He was finally reborn, so he must cherish his life.

Although he was a stranger, he was still very eye-catching because he could produce first-class strong flour.

Food was a scarce commodity at that time. Even in the city, there was a ration every month, and with a large population, people had to tighten their belts.

Things that are in short supply will naturally become scarce. Once they appear under our noses, who wouldn’t keep a close eye on them?

If there is a pregnant woman or a woman in confinement at home, you will think about buying some nutritional supplements.

Chen Huaiyang shouted in a low voice, "If you need it, hurry up. I am also taking the risk to transport it here."

Then people who were waiting and watching gathered around, and the bag of flour was quickly divided up. Some people who didn't buy any looked at it eagerly. Chen Huaiyang made an appointment with others to go to a place to continue working.

Such a large-scale move soon attracted the attention of people in the black market, who recruited two people to rob the robbers.

But they didn't send people here to guard the place for no reason. They would also bring back some scarce supplies to sell. Even though there are risks involved, as long as they don't have to starve or freeze, who wouldn't want to do it?
Chen Huaiyang guessed that he would be watched by someone, so he left immediately after selling the item. He walked to a dark and quiet place to get rid of the person, made sure that there was no one around, and instantly disappeared from the spot and entered the space.

I sold 400 kilograms of flour and made 120 yuan.

There were eight bags of flour missing from the space, but looking at the full space of food, a few small missing items were not a big deal, so I stopped worrying about it.

After returning home, I have to buy meat, cook it and store it. I don’t know if the meat can survive in the storage space. It goes without saying that when you go to the countryside, you will know that if you want to eat meat, it is harder than climbing to the sky.

Thinking about it, I fell asleep without realizing it.

I've been running around a lot these past few days, and when I relax, I start to feel sleepy and can't stand it anymore.

When I woke up again, I was out of the space. Fortunately, this space would choose a safe location, at least to ensure that no one would be killed.

Otherwise, if someone sees me, I'm afraid I'll be treated as a monster.

Go back, there is no time to delay.

The girl’s work station must be put into place as soon as possible, time is running out!

I changed cars along the way and returned home again. It was dark again and the car was filled with a foul stench that almost stunk my nose.

This journey made him a little afraid of riding in a car, and he hurried back home. The moment Chen's father saw him, he pulled out his belt and wanted to hit him.

Chen Huaiyang's pupils widened with fear.

Oh my goodness! If this guy really hits me, I'll be skinned alive if I don't die!

What a coward, he just hid behind Chen's mother. A real man can bend and stretch, and showing weakness appropriately will not hurt anyone. He doesn't want to feel the feeling of being hit by a belt.

"Dad, let's talk it out. Don't start shouting and killing as soon as you meet. It's not conducive to the unity between father and son."

"If I do something wrong, I will be humble and learn from it."

I couldn't understand why he was fine before he left, but he became whipped in just a few days.

Father Chen snorted and said, "Wife, please get out of the way. This kid has to be beaten. He is really brave and skilled. Father Liu even dared to report him. He is really a newborn calf who is not afraid of death!"

"If you fail to pull the person down, you must consider the consequences!"

Chen Huaiyang quickly argued, "Dad, it's not me. I don't have that ability. I guess he did a lot of evil and got framed by someone else."

In this era, people always believe that beatings make good sons, and he might really get a beating.

He was not afraid of being beaten, but now was not the right time. He was covered in wounds and needed to recover, which hindered his progress in finding a job.

He has to go to the countryside in a few days, but he hasn't made any preparations yet!
Looking for an opportunity, he quickly ran out of the house, shouting as he ran, "Dad, calm down, I will definitely arrange a work station for you."

It’s better to go out and avoid the limelight first, and then come back to apologize after the anger has subsided!

By then, I'll have arranged the work station properly, and considering that my younger sister doesn't have to go to the countryside, he probably won't beat him.

Now that he has done what he has done, he will not regret it, but he will not be willing to do so unless he brings down the Liu family.

Chen's mother watched her son run away and hurriedly grabbed Chen's father.

"Calm down. Your son is going to be sent to the countryside soon. If you beat him up, he will just be waiting to die there, right?"

"Since he has made such a solemn promise, let's just wait and see. Anyway, there is no other way now."

"It's a done deal, just think positively!"

"Your son is not unreasonable. It must be the Liu family who caused the trouble. His daughter looked very well-behaved, but I didn't expect her to act so unruly. It was right for your son not to agree to come to their house."

Father Chen looked at his daughter-in-law with helplessness in his eyes, "Forget it, forget it. Prepare more things. We can live less at home. At least we can survive."

Father Chen rolled a cigarette in silence. He had no choice but to leave it to fate.
