The Red Era: Starting from a Truck Driver

Chapter 114 Do you want to earn extra money?
The people from the street office started questioning from the first house, which was Wang Yuzhen's house, which was also close to the yard.

After questioning Wang Yuzhen's family, the three people from the street went to question separately. Zhou Lingying's family and Zhang Yang's family were the second group to be questioned.

Fortunately, when we asked about Zhou Lingying's home, we were met by Zhao Yuxia and Jiang Changhe. They really knew nothing about the matter. Zhou Lingying was pouring water for the people from the street office.

The questions asked by the street office were simple and direct. They asked directly whether Jiang Cheng's parents had any conflicts with Li Meihong, or if they knew which family had conflicts with her family.

Zhao Yuxia said that Li Meihong had said bad things about her daughter-in-law in front of her. She wanted to scold her, but was stopped by her daughter-in-law Zhou Lingying. It was impossible for them to do this. If they wanted to do it, they should have done it openly.

Moreover, Zhao Yuxia and Jiang Changhe only came here for medical treatment. If they wanted to live here permanently, they would have to get a certificate from the street office.

As long as they are not husband and wife or have children, even if Jiang Cheng's parents and sister come to live with them, it can only be considered as temporary residence, and they have to get a certificate from the street office.

Jiang Changhe has a medical certificate issued by the hospital, which is a special case, so he does not need to report to the street office. But if he recovers and still lives here, he will not be allowed to get a certificate without the street office.

The subdistrict office checked Jiang Changhe's hospital treatment certificate, and Zhao Yuxia's story didn't seem like a lie. In this day and age, it's normal for some mothers-in-law to say bad things about other people's daughters-in-law, or even their own daughters-in-law, behind their backs.

Anyway, he just asked a few simple questions. In addition, this family had just moved here not long ago, and he didn't know whether Li Meihong had any conflicts with other people. So he came out after asking for a while, and didn't pay any attention to Zhou Lingying who was standing next to him without saying much.

The people from the street office didn't have the insight of the police. After the people from the street office left, Zhao Yuxia smiled and said that Li Meihong deserved it. But she didn't know that the culprit who used such disgusting means was her honest daughter-in-law.

The people from the street office asked around in the front and back yards, then found Li Meihong and said they would continue investigating before leaving.

Even if it is an unprofessional investigation by the street office, it is at least better than some electric bike thefts in later generations, where they would just register it and then ask you to wait for investigation.

Zhou Lingying felt that she had escaped a disaster, and she was particularly well behaved in the morning and did not even chat with other women.

By the afternoon, I felt completely relieved and went outside with a jar to catch insects for the chickens.

At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Jiang Cheng arrived at the Deshengguan Reclamation Farm in Lichuan, Fuzhou.

Before coming here, Jiang Cheng always thought that this was a state-owned farm. State-owned farms are for farming, planned farming, and large areas.

But when I got here, I found that growing crops was just one of the industries on this farm. There were factories, farms, orchards, and even supporting schools and hospitals.

The key is that a farm has many things that are self-contained and can be self-sufficient in many areas.

When Jiang Chengyun came here with fertilizers, he was immediately warmly received by the person in charge of the reclamation farm. When he was unloading the goods, he also sent someone to take him to visit many of the industries here.

The person who showed Jiang Cheng around also introduced the history of the farm. In fact, it was just a village at the beginning. In 1957, more than 2,000 educated young people from Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai and other places were arranged to come here to build the farm.

There was nothing here at that time, and many educated youth lived in dilapidated houses, cowsheds, and large bunk beds. You should know that at that time, educated youth from cities were not forced to go to the countryside as they are now. They came here voluntarily and took the initiative to contribute to the construction of the mountainous areas.

Although the local villagers here still use the work point system, they are no longer included in the scope of educated youth going to the countryside.

There are poultry and livestock farms here, with chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cattle and sheep all raised. You don't need a meat ticket to eat meat, just like the commune production. During the New Year, pigs will be slaughtered and shared among everyone. The excess will be sold at the meat stalls designated by the commune, which also do not require meat tickets.

However, the commune and the reclamation farm both have to complete certain pig purchasing targets, but the reclamation farm has a slight advantage and can raise more pigs.

Jiang Cheng sent fertilizer today. I don't know if the person in charge of the reclamation farm wants to eat pork, or if he is really so enthusiastic. The pigs were killed, and in addition to the ones used for hospitality, there is also an open-air meat stall here.

There is a loudspeaker broadcast at the farm, which will inform everyone that pork will be for sale tomorrow morning.

After Jiang Cheng finished the tour, he returned to the warehouse and found that six tons of fertilizer had already been unloaded by the people there.

There are hundreds of bags, but the people unloading here unload at least four bags at a time. Each bag weighs fifty kilograms, and several people unload together, so they can unload half a ton in one lying position.

After unloading, the staff here counted and confirmed that everything was correct. They signed and stamped Jiang Cheng's delivery note, and the transportation task was completed.

For dinner, Jiang Cheng was treated to braised pork, wild mushrooms, fish and vegetables. There were also cultivated watermelons here, which Jiang Cheng could eat as he pleased.

"Master Jiang, you delivered this batch of fertilizers just in time. Come, let me toast you on behalf of the reclamation farm."

"It's my job. This is my duty. Director Hou, you are too polite."

"Master Jiang, after you finish delivering this load, will you go back to Changcheng directly or will you come to this city to pick up more goods?"

"At most, we will pass by Fuzhou and go directly back to Changcheng."

Jiang Cheng replied that he had been feeling a bit pent up lately and didn't want to delay for even a day. Having a wife is completely different from not having one. Without a woman, you can't sleep with her and won't miss her. With a woman, it's different. When you miss her, you can't wait to fly back.

Especially during this journey, Jiang Cheng endured a lot of temptations. He couldn't bring himself to reject Wu Xin the night before. But no matter how much he despised her, it didn't mean that he was a saint and had no desire at all.

But Jiang Cheng's desire was to go home quickly and have sex with Zhou Lingying shamelessly, at least it aroused his desire for that kind of thing.

But Jiang Cheng was also surprised that Director Hou Yaozhong, who was in charge of logistics at the reclamation farm, asked him about his schedule. In theory, agriculture should be given priority in distribution, so there is no trouble with transportation.

Hou Yaozhong looked at Jiang Cheng and smiled. He tapped his fingers on the table a few times, then suddenly stopped smiling and said, "I wonder if Master Jiang wants to make some extra money."

There is something fishy going on. There is definitely something wrong with Director Hou. Jiang Cheng can say the same thing as Jack Ma that he has no interest in making money. In this era, money can’t buy anything, and making too much money is really useless.

Moreover, you spend money lavishly, obviously far exceeding your income, and someone may report you at any time.

But Jiang Cheng wanted to know what Director Hou was up to, so he nodded and pretended to be listening attentively.

Director Hou stood up, smiled and patted Jiang Cheng on the shoulder and said, "Master Jiang, you eat first, I'll be right there."

Jiang Cheng felt that Director Hou must have gone to get something, leaving him facing the dishes on the table, and he ate without hesitation, especially the braised pork, which was very fragrant.

Jiang Cheng didn't know whether he felt the aroma of the fatty braised pork because he lacked oil or whether pork in this era was just more delicious. If he ate meat, he could eat birds and pheasants. But there was not much fat, so Jiang Cheng still craved meat.

There was a lot of braised pork, Jiang Cheng ate a few pieces, then took out a lunch box from the space, put some in it, and some mushrooms to make it delicious.

The fish here tastes pretty good too, mainly because the chef is willing to use a lot of oil and ingredients, so the taste is actually pretty good.
