Chapter 41 The Captain Wants to Invite Song Cenyue to Dinner

"What do you think we should do in the future? Eleven kilograms of food a month is definitely not enough. No matter how much we save, we have to eat at least half a kilogram of food a day, otherwise our bodies will not be able to bear it...

We still have to work in the fields. Physical strength is very important. We must not faint while working in the fields...

If you don't eat enough for a long time, you will definitely suffer from malnutrition, which will easily lead to various diseases. Don't get a serious disease, it would be tragic if you die here!"

On the way back, all the educated youth except Song Cenyue looked gloomy and sad, Meng Jiang said worriedly.

After hearing Meng Jiang's last words, everyone except Song Cenyue was scared to death and even more worried. He Xiaolu's eyes were wet, "I don't want to die here."

"We won't die here!" Song Cenyue really couldn't stand their behavior, so she frowned and spoke.

"Song Zhiqing, based on what you said, do you have any ideas?" Xu Xiaopeng's eyes lit up and he immediately looked at Song Cenyue. Others also looked at Song Cenyue, their eyes sparkling with expectation.

“Although the food we were given is not enough to eat, we can still go buy food. You should have brought money and tickets, right? Besides, we can earn work points. If we work harder and get more work points, we can get more food and money in the future.

Solutions are invented by people. As long as you are willing to use your brain and work hard, you won't starve to death!" Song Cenyue said.

Hearing her words, everyone regained hope and nodded, "Song Zhiqing (Cen Yue) is right."

"Why didn't we think of buying food before? My parents were afraid that I wouldn't have enough to eat in the countryside, so they got me a lot of national food coupons, national meat coupons, and other coupons." Xu Xiaopeng said, his face beaming with joy, the corners of his lips raised, and he smiled.

Other educated youth, including He Xiaolu, had some food coupons that were valid nationwide, but they just didn't remember them for a moment. After being pointed out by Song Cenyue, they all remembered them. They thought that they could use the food coupons to buy food, so they didn't have to worry about not having enough to eat for the time being, and they all smiled happily.

No longer worried and in a better mood, they became interested in gossiping.

"What do you think the captain wants Song Zhiqing to do when he asks him to go to his home alone later? Is there something he wants to say to Song Zhiqing alone that he can't say in front of us?" Xu Xiaopeng asked curiously.

"I can't guess! What do you think it will be?" Meng Jiang shook his head.

"I can't think of it either." Su Dawei thought about it and shook his head.

"Cousin, you have always been smart. Let's see if you can guess it." Xu Xiaopeng looked at Yu Jiahui.

"I can't guess it this time either." Yu Jiahui disappointed Xu Xiaopeng and waved his hands.

"You guys can't guess it, so I can't guess it either." He Xiaolu said with a smile. "Cen Yue, do you know why the captain wants to see you?"

Song Cenyue shook her head, "He didn't say anything, how would I know."

"Could it be that he asked you to go to his house because he wants to give you some benefits alone?" Xu Xiaopeng joked.

"How is that possible! You're overthinking. What benefits can the captain give me, and why should he give me any benefits?" Song Cenyue raised the corners of his lips slightly.

At this time, none of them thought that Zhang Shengjin asked Song Cenyue to go to his house because he really had something good to give her alone.

After Zhang Shengjin locked the door of the storage room, he hurried home.

As soon as Zhang Shengjin entered the house, he asked his wife Dong Jinhua, "Is dinner ready?"

"Not yet. I just came back from the fields. Are you hungry? There are some leftover steamed buns from lunch. I'll get them for you. It's hot now, so you can eat them without even heating them up." Dong Jinhua shook her head.

"No need to get it for me, I'm not hungry... Go and cook quickly, as a distinguished guest will be coming to our house soon. Cook some white rice, but don't mix it with cornmeal or other flour. Cook the rice cleanly. Then take out the bacon that you have always been reluctant to eat, cut two pounds of it and fry it..." Zhang Shengjin waved his hand and gave the order.

He still had more than ten kilograms of white rice at home, but he had been reluctant to eat it and had planned to eat it during the holidays. But today was different. He had to invite guests to dinner, so he had to treat them to white rice and meat.

"It's a pity that we don't have fresh meat, otherwise I could ask you to make some of our famous Shanxi dishes, like fried pork, Dingxiang steamed meat, etc., and let her taste our authentic Yamamoto specialties!" A look of regret appeared on Zhang Shengjin's face.

Suddenly, Zhang Shengjin's eyes flashed, and he slapped his thigh, as if he had thought of something. "Chicken! How could I forget about chicken! Fortunately, we have chicken at home! We can make crispy chicken...

"Mother, go kill a chicken and make your famous crispy chicken! Fry two eggs. Anyway, use whatever we have at home that can be used for cooking to make dishes and treat our guests well!"

"Are you crazy?" Dong Jinhua's face turned as black as iron and looked extremely ugly. She glared at her husband angrily and scolded him.

"Do you know what you just said? You actually asked for the chicken to be killed?! Do you know how precious a chicken is?

That's a treasure that lays eggs. Do you know how much an egg can be sold for? The reason why our family can live better than other families is not only because you are the team leader, but also because I save eggs every month to sell for money. If you kill the chicken, what will it lay eggs with? What can you sell to make money! "

Dong Jinhua became angrier and angrier as she scolded him. "Who on earth is this distinguished guest? Is he the commune secretary or the county magistrate? You're so willing to kill a chicken to entertain him, and even ask me to use all the ingredients in my home to cook! You're so willing to do so, and you don't have any plan at all!"

Even if the person coming was really the commune secretary or the county magistrate, she would not be willing to kill a chicken to entertain him.

Besides, her husband was just a small production team leader, and the poorest one at that. He was not well-liked by his superiors. How could he invite the commune secretary, let alone a high-ranking official like the county magistrate, to his home for dinner?

"What commune secretary or county magistrate? If it were them, I wouldn't be willing to kill the chicken! What do you mean I have no plan at all? I'm much better at planning than you... You have a small nose and small eyes, and you can only see how many eggs a chicken can lay!" Zhang Shengjin frowned and cursed.

"Oh! With my small nose and small eyes, I can only see how many eggs a chicken lays. Do you know how many eggs a chicken can lay and how much money it can earn?

You didn't invite the secretary of the commune or the county magistrate. Those must be very high-ranking officials and very valuable people. Tell me, let me see if they are as valuable and precious as the eggs laid by one of my chickens!" Dong Jinhua sneered and mocked.

Zhang Shengjin frowned even more tightly, "What I want to invite is the God of Wealth, who is so much more valuable than the eggs laid by your broken chicken!" He curled his lips and cursed.

"What? What did you say? You are praying to the God of Wealth? Zhang Shengjin, you don't have a fever, are you seriously ill?" Dong Jinhua was stunned. She seriously suspected that her husband had a fever and his brain was damaged. She quickly reached out to touch her husband's forehead, but her husband opened her hand.

"I don't have a fever, I'm not sick, I'm fine, I'm wide awake!"

"Then why did you say to ask the God of Wealth..."

"How can you be so stupid, woman? I was just using a metaphor. How can I really invite the God of Wealth to come?"

"You are the stupid one! Old stupid cow!" Dong Jinhua was called stupid and glared at her husband in annoyance. While scolding him, she reached out and hit him.

Zhang Shengjin groaned in pain, "You bitch, you're hitting me too hard. Aren't you afraid of killing me?"

Although he was angry, he did not fight back. Although he would scold his wife, he would never hit her.

"I can kill you with just one punch, you are too fragile... Tell me, who do you want to invite?" Dong Jinhua rolled her eyes at him and then asked curiously.

Who on earth could be called the God of Wealth by her old man?

"It's a new educated youth..." Before Zhang Shengjin could finish his words, his wife exploded.

"What! The person you invited is a new educated youth?! Zhang Shengjin, I think you are really crazy. You invited an educated youth to dinner and asked me to cook white rice, pure rice, without any other ingredients...

He even asked me to cut bacon and fry it, and to kill such a precious chicken to entertain him, and to use all the dishes at home to cook for him! Did your head get caught in the door? "Dong Jinhua cursed while reaching out to poke her husband's head.

"Your head was caught in the door! You, a woman, got angry without even waiting for me to finish my words. Why are you so angry?" Zhang Shengjin grabbed his wife's finger that was poking him.

"The new educated youth is no ordinary person. She is an extraordinary talent. She can repair cars!" said Zhang Shengjin.

Dong Jinhua curled her lips and sneered when she heard her husband's words, "So what if she can repair cars! We don't have any cars for her to repair! Forget cars, we don't even have a bullock cart."

"I called you a stupid woman, but you still don't accept it! If you can repair cars, you can definitely repair tractors. Although our production team doesn't have tractors, several nearby communes and several wealthy production teams have tractors, but none of them can repair them...

When a tractor breaks down, people go to the city's tractor factory or agricultural machinery factory to get it repaired. Haven't you heard how arrogant the mechanics at the tractor factory and agricultural machinery factory are? If you ask them to repair your tractor, not only do you have to pay them, but you also have to ask them to sue you and say all kinds of nice things before they agree to repair it. Even then, you still have to wait in line, as it can't be repaired immediately.

This new educated youth can repair tractors. From now on, if the tractors of the communes and production teams break down, they can come to her to repair them. Have you heard how expensive it is to repair a tractor?

I heard it was very expensive before. If you ask the city's tractor factory or agricultural machinery factory to repair it, the repair fee will never be less than ten yuan, and a major overhaul will cost fifty or a hundred yuan..."

"I've heard about this. Last year, people in Dongning Commune reported that a tractor in Dongning Commune broke down, so they asked the tractor factory in the city to repair it. It cost a hundred yuan to fix it, and they also gave the mechanic a hundred kilograms of grain as a gift." Dong Jinhua shouted.

"Dad, if you let the new educated youth help the nearby communes and production teams repair tractors as you wish, wouldn't they be able to earn a lot of money!" she shouted excitedly, her eyes full of excitement.

When the new educated youth came to their production team, they became members of the production team. The money they earned from repairing tractors had to be handed over to the production team, and then the production team would distribute the remuneration to the new educated youth.

Therefore, the more money the new educated youth earned, the more money there was in the production team's account, and life in the production team would naturally be much better.

Moreover, my husband was the team leader of the production team. Although he did not have any salary, he could be off work and did not have to work in the fields to earn work points, but he could receive a subsidy of 300 yuan a year.

In addition to the work point subsidy, there are other subsidies, which are subsidies directly taken from the production team's account, 50 yuan a year.

However, the Yongfeng Production Team was extremely poor. At the end of each year, after closing the accounts and distributing dividends to the team members, there was no money left, so naturally my husband did not get the fifty yuan.

But if the money earned by the new educated youth from repairing tractors was turned over to the production team and entered into the team's account, the team would have more money. At the end of the year, when the accounts were closed and dividends were distributed to the team members, there would still be money left, so there would be enough money to give the husband the 50 yuan subsidy.

If the situation is good and there is more money, maybe I can even give my husband all the subsidies I owed him.

That would make you rich! Haha…

"Fortunately, you are not too stupid, woman!" Zhang Shengjin raised the corner of his lips which already had a slight wrinkle on it.

"That's why I said this new educated youth is the God of Wealth! We must support her well! So don't feel sorry for your chicken...

Later, she would go to repair tractors and earn a lot of money for the production team. Not only would the production team's life be much better, they could give more money to the team members, and there would be money for my subsidy... I get 50 yuan in subsidies a year, and 50 yuan can buy several chickens!"

Dong Jinhua nodded repeatedly and said with a smile: "That's right!"

Although I still feel a little sorry for the chicken, but thinking about what my husband said and the subsidy he gave me, I had no choice but to kill a chicken.

Fortunately, she raised two chickens, both were hens and could lay eggs. Even if she killed one, the other could still lay eggs. She didn't have to worry about not having eggs to give to her children to complete their status, nor did she have to worry about not having eggs to sell to make money to supplement the family income.

"Don't just stand here. Go cook. Remember what I said. Cut two pounds of bacon and fry it. Kill a chicken and make it crispy. Fry a few eggs. Use everything you can at home to cook. Don't be reluctant! If we take good care of this new educated youth, it will benefit our family and the production team a lot!"

Zhang Shengjin waved to his wife, fearing that she was still reluctant and would "cut corners", so he gave her special instructions again.

"Got it. Don't worry. I understand this principle. I'll go right away and make it as sumptuous as Chinese New Year. I guarantee that the educated youth will be very satisfied and moved. Haha..." Dong Jinhua waved her hand and smiled, then turned and ran towards the kitchen.
