Back To The Beginning Of Ming To Do Charity

The snow melted, the earth rejuvenated, and the green shoots regained their branches.

The salt workers in Gaoyou City woke up a long time ago. They came out of their homes or dormitories and went to the cafeteria to eat in groups. No matter how high prices in Gaoyou go up, they can eat two copper plates in the cafeteria. This is the only treatment that salt workers have.

After breakfast, they went to work.

Gaoyou was originally wealthy, but Gaoyou was not rich in salt workers, nor ordinary people, but small bosses and officials, and a large official and business collusion.

But now it is different. Salt workers can earn money by working hard. Whoever does more will get more.

It used to be a hard job to be a salt man. It was only when you couldn't live to be a salt man, doing the hardest work, holding the least money, and working hard to fill your stomach.

Who would have thought that in Gaoyou, there were salt people who had starved to death.

The salt man who was starved to death is Sun Si's father.

Sun Si, as the name suggests, he is the fourth child in the family.

It was the only one that survived.

The brothers and sisters either died of illness or froze to death and starved to death, but he was the only one who lived to this day.

But now that he works alone, he can feed his family, his wife and children.

After Nan Bodhisattva came, the life of Gaoyou people became better. He married a daughter-in-law, who had given birth to three children, two children and one daughter. Workers all said he was blessed.

Whether his wife and daughter-in-law are doing well, every time he goes home, he feels that such a day is like a dream.

Sometimes when he thinks of the past, he thinks it is something in his previous life.

The only regret is that his father failed to make it to the South Bodhisattva, now his Majesty Gaoyou.

His mother has been raising her for these years, but her bones have become much stronger. Now that she has nothing to do, she picks wild vegetables or wild fruits on the mountain with her old sisters, makes them into side dishes or jams and sends them to restaurants, which can also earn a small amount of money.

Now the family is still inseparable from people, the daughter-in-law and the old mother share the children.

When Sun Si was working, his fellow workers said, "Sun Si, is your eldest child six years old?"

Sun Si put down the guy in his hand and said with a smile: "Yes, he looks strong."

"Then you send your baby to a school?" The questioner hesitated.

Sun Si said strangely: "Naturally, I heard that there are scholarships for good studies! I don't ask him to give me a top pick. I just learn a few words. I don't need to be like me in the future. "

The worker sighed, "My eldest baby is ten years old. If I changed it before, they can work with me."

He is reluctant to bear this labor force.

Sun Si persuaded him: "Think about it, now you ask your son to be a salt worker? It's not allowed at the top. You didn't hear the team leader say that you must be over 14 years old before you can work, otherwise it will be a child laborer, the supervisor People who are still fined."

"Going to school, although I can't work for my family, but if I can study better and have a decent grade when I graduate, I'm afraid I won't find a good job? I can't say that one month earns more than half a year as a salt worker."

The coworkers are entangled.

There are not many people in his family, and the elders have finally grown up without illness and disasters, and are now able to work and earn money.

Sent to study...

At least three years.

His age doesn't seem like he can earn money for his family by reading a book.

Sun Si saw that he was too late to make up his mind, and said: "After all, I have read books and become literate. Your eldest son is still blind. Now there are already few girls. You are not afraid that he will not be able to marry a wife. The root of your home?"

The worker widened his eyes and said, "That's still going to be sent to the school."

On the day the school started, Sun Si took his eldest son to report, and the gate of the school was overcrowded.

Because there are new textbooks this year, I heard that this year I started to learn simplified Chinese characters.

The common people don't understand what simplified characters are, but they only hear it better and understand better.

The previous words learned in the previous sessions are still the previous words, but the simplified words and the previous words are from the same source and can be easily recognized.

Sun Si first took the eldest son to register, reported his parents’ names, his home address, and his job. Then he went to look for the eldest’s class. The eldest was in the first and fifth classes.

The teacher told him that there are a total of six grades: Primary One, Primary Two, Primary Three, and Senior Four, Five Great and Sixth Grade.

Generally, you can graduate after three years, and you can go to school if you want to.

After finishing the junior year, those who want to take the imperial examination in the future can still go to university.

Sun Si looked at the new school and the beautiful small building. There were many things that he had never seen before. The children could play on it. He thanked the teacher with gratitude and sent his son into the classroom.

When he left, he told his son: "Be obedient, study hard, and learn more later than you."

Although the elder is young, he knew that he was the eldest son of the family since he was a child, and he knew the responsibilities on his shoulders. He said to Sun Si: "I know, Dad, I must study hard."

"I can still teach my brother and sister when I go back."

Sun Si hurried away. He took a long time off and wanted to go back to work early.

He can earn two taels of silver a month because he works hard enough to do better than other salt workers.

These two taels cost only one or two for food and clothing a month at home, and one or two to save. He was going to save two years, so he repaired his house again, and after paying the housing management bureau, he can spend it in his house. The ground has been increased.

The child grows fast, and the young one can't always stay in the same room with him and his wife.

When the new building is built, let them move in.

Since the elders have studied, they will tell their younger brothers and sisters about their studies at the school when they come back. They are not called the school but the school.

"My teacher said that if I learn well, I won't charge any textbook fees in the future." The elder said happily, "The teacher praised me for having a good memory yesterday! I was elected class leader this afternoon, and all my classmates elected me!"

The younger siblings looked at their elder brother with admiration, and only felt that after the elder brother went to school, the whole person had changed.

The eldest also said to Sun Si: "Father, when I graduate, I will earn money to support my family, raise you, my mother and grandma, brothers and sisters!"

Sun Si laughed at him: "Your father, I am not old yet! You don't need to raise it! Your younger siblings will also go to school in the future, maybe they can be more promising than you, and you don't need to raise them!

"Wait for your father, me and your mother to stop working, you can raise it."

The child frowned, "Hey! When will you stop working?"

Sun Si couldn't laugh or cry: "A little bastard, who is this speechless mouth?"

His wife was busy on the stove, shouting: "It's up to you."

His mother also joined in the fun: "Your father and you are like this!"

Sun Sizheng couldn’t help but went out to chop firewood by himself. Although he sells more firewood now, it’s cheaper, but after a long time in poverty, he always feels that he can save a little bit. Only when the autumn is over will they spend money to buy firewood. carbon.

The carbon burns in the house, it is warm, but the window must be opened, and the team will tell them every year that those who do not open the window will be smoked to death.

The firewood is burned while cooking.

"It's dinner!" The wife brought the dishes to the main hall, and the family sat around the wooden table.

The little doll reached out to grab the steamed buns and said happily, "Mother! Why are there steamed buns today!"

This is white flour!Life is getting better now, but white flour is still expensive, and ordinary people are reluctant to buy it.

The daughter-in-law smiled and said, "Your father paid out his wages yesterday."

Every time you pay your wages, you can have a good meal the next day. This is an unwritten rule of the Sun family.

When the daughter-in-law brought another pot of vegetables, the family's saliva would flow down.

"Fatty!" The girl's eyes couldn't move away.

Fatty pork is rare. The fat on the meat stall is the fastest to be robbed.

Chicken, duck and fish are all lean, and people still prefer fat pork.

The daughter-in-law proudly said: "I will go to the market to wait before dawn this morning, otherwise I can't buy such good fat."

She has average craftsmanship, but the whole family eats very sweetly.

Sun Si took a bite of the bun and watched his little boy rushing to eat the fat, his eyes were full of smiles.

His grandson did not make his baby hungry, nor did he make his woman and old mother hungry.

Although it wasn't a big achievement, he was already satisfied.

"By the way, there is a nursery on the street." The wife told Sun Si before going to bed.

Sun Si also knows what a nursery is. Now many families work together to make money by men and women. There are no children with them, so there are nurseries.

Before the parents sent their children to work, there were women watching, taking care of the food, and sometimes snacks.

Parents take their children home after leaving work.

This kind of nursery is very strict, the door is closed during the day, and security guards are also hired-this is also a new job, and the salary is not low!

Those who are strong and strong are willing to go.

The merchants are very thoughtful, not to mention human traffickers, even a flying insect can hardly fly in.

But it's not cheap. One child costs one coin a month, and two costs two dollars.

Sun Si turned to look at his wife: "Do you want to go to work?"

The daughter-in-law nodded: "Sanya doesn't need to take milk anymore. Isn't there a knitting factory to recruit people? Close to home, I can come back every day. I heard that as long as I can meet the standard, I will have a silver or two. Each has a commission, and one piece can mention forty articles!"

Her eyes were very bright: "The first thing outside is 20 essays, this forty essays."

Sun Si said strangely: "Why forty essays?"

Daughter-in-law: "What else is there, I can't recruit people."

Sun Si suddenly realized that males are willing to do hard work and earn more if they have energy. Few males in the knitting factory are willing to go. Attentive.

I heard that there was still a rough man who went to work in a knitting factory, but he broke two groups of threads, didn't make money, and lost money.

From then on, men who thought they were bad hands stopped trying to avoid losing money.

"Then go." Sun Si agreed, "We two make money together, maybe we will collect the money for building the house this year!"

The daughter-in-law was also very happy: "Yes, save more. In the future, the two boys and girls will marry the daughter-in-law, and the girls will have a dowry. Money is needed everywhere!"

It used to be a pain to spend money.

It's not hard to spend money now, because I can earn it.

As a result, the next day, the daughter-in-law was going to the knitting factory for an interview, and Sun Si and the old lady followed.

Then-the daughter-in-law has no face and clumsy hands.

The old lady is face.
