This meal was unforgettable for many people in the village. They had not eaten meat like this for who knows how long.

In the afternoon, everyone started to work. It is now the end of June and the harvest has ended. In the past two days, all the labor force has been threshing in the wheat field and doing the final work.

Recently, Li Wen has been eating well and nutritiously every day, and he has obviously grown taller. He feels that his height has exceeded 1.4 meters, but he still has to work hard and strive to grow to 1.6 meters by the age of sixteen.

We had plenty of nutrition today, and everyone worked extra hard. The assigned tasks were all completed half an hour before the end of work. Li Wen and his family applied for a few more work points.

When Li Wen and his family returned home from work in the evening, they still didn't feel very hungry. "I'm still hungry after eating meat," Li Deyou took a puff of dry cigarette and said with a smile.

"Then let's make some millet porridge tonight. There is still some millet at home, which has been lying around for a long time. I will cook it for everyone today," the old lady said with a smile.

Good! Millet porridge is nutritious and won’t make your throat irritate. All the children raised their hands in agreement.

After a while, two large pots of millet porridge were brought to the table by my mother and my second aunt.

"We're all here for porridge. Today it's millet porridge with pickles. The revolutionary spirit will be passed on forever," the second aunt said with a smile, and then she scooped a bowl for everyone in the queue and shared a small wotou.

"Let's go to your aunt's house tonight to see how the work is going, and send some fish over by the way. There are too many fish at home, so my father, Li Deyou, took a long pipe and smoked the dry flue."

"Yes, it's been two days, I should have some clues. My second aunt and my mother nodded."

Everyone was sitting in the yard chatting, not planning to go to bed, waiting to go directly to the city at ten o'clock in the evening.

"Mom, I'm going to raise a piglet. Today Uncle Junli said that there happened to be piglets coming out of the nest at the pig farm in the village. He asked me to go to the village to catch them. I'll just give him ten yuan when the time comes. Li Wen said excitedly."

"It's already July and you're raising pigs now, but you can't kill them for the New Year. Wintering is a big problem," said my mother, Wang Chunmei, with a frown.

"Mom, don't worry. I read about the scientific method of raising pigs from the book. There are still seven months before the Chinese New Year. It will be no problem to raise pigs to 80 or 90 kilograms by then. Besides, I usually have time to go fishing and can go fishing with the children in the village.

Change enough hogweed.”

"Today in the village canteen, Uncle Junli said that the pigs I raise are considered to be raised by myself and can be freely disposed of during the Chinese New Year. Then the pork for the Chinese New Year this year will be available, Li Wen said with a smile."

"Well, you have a good idea. I agree. I will give you ten dollars later. You can catch one after work tomorrow at noon."

"Mom, no need. I exchanged some money from the state-owned canteen in town while fishing a few days ago. It's enough."

"Hey, you guys can do it. You have hooked up with the state-owned hotel. My second uncle, who was in a state of wandering, immediately sat up."

"It's just so so! Li Wen puffed out his chest and raised his head and smiled."

Next, I carefully told everyone my experience of going to the town yesterday, and by the way, I also made up the cans and fruits I bought when I visited my grandma.

"Awen is a great kid. He is already so outstanding even before he is an adult. When he grows up, he will definitely be a capable person in our village." The second uncle and second aunt praised him, while the mother touched Li Wen's head lovingly.

"Let's go, second brother, let's carry fifty kilograms of fish each today."

The gentlemen went down to the cellar, packed two sacks of fish, and rushed towards the county town.

At almost twelve o'clock, several people arrived at aunt Li Xiulan's house. The door was ajar. I don't know if aunt knew they were coming in advance. Li Wen opened the door first and walked in gently!

"Cousin, you are here. Zhao Jianjun, who was sitting on the ground, stood up immediately when he saw Li Wen walking in."

"Cousin, you are waiting here every night," Li Wen said doubtfully.

"Well, I have been waiting for you here from 11:30 to 2 o'clock these two nights. My mother arranged it. Second cousin Zhao Jianjun scratched his head and said with a smile."

Knowing that nothing was wrong, Li Wen first called a bird at the door, and then his father, Li Deyou, and the other three walked in from the dark alley next to him.

"Uncle, second uncle, Awu, Zhao Jianjun looked at the people coming in and shouted hurriedly!"

"Let's go in and talk." After closing the door, everyone came to the living room.

The eldest uncle and aunt were resting in the room, and the second cousin hurriedly knocked on the door and called them out.

"Boss, second brother and Ah Wu, Ah Wen, you are here. My aunt saw a few people and asked with a smile."

"A few people stood up in a hurry to say hello."

"Boss, I've asked for the work quota for the second brother. It can indeed be obtained. A quota requires at least one hundred kilograms of fish, and the maximum is one hundred and thirty kilograms. However, as long as you don't make mistakes in the first half of the year, it will become

It's a good deal to have a formal job, my eldest uncle said excitedly."

"Oh! There are various positions," several members of the Li family said excitedly. "

"There is one quota for the county food factory, one for Lao Wang's flour mill, one for the agricultural machinery repair station, and one for the bus station. The units are all OK, but now there are only four quotas. My uncle sighed again after speaking."

"Why are you sighing? They are all good units," my second uncle Li Dezhong said doubtfully.

"Aren't we five children? Four indicators are not enough, the aunt sighed."

"Alas! It's true, the eldest brother-in-law can't get a quota, even if he has more fish and meat, Li Deyou took a puff of the flue."

"There are other indicators, but people don't like our fish," my eldest uncle said awkwardly.

The living room became quiet for a while, and the sighs of several elders could be heard from time to time.

Li Wen looked at everyone sighing and knew what to say.

"Dad, uncle, let me tell you, we originally wanted five places, one for the eldest brother, one for me, the second brother, and one for my eldest aunt's second cousin and my second aunt's second cousin, right?"

Everyone Li Wen nodded and looked at Li Wen doubtfully.

Li Wen smiled: "You must be 16 years old to work in the workplace or inherit a job, and I will have my 15th birthday in a few days, and it is still a year before I turn 16, so these four jobs are just one for each of my four brothers.

Well, I have nothing to consider."

"But this, alas! You kid, you worked so hard to catch these fish, and you suffered a lot of grievances for it. In the end, you didn't get any benefits. Where do you want your father and me to look like this?

Put it away, Father Li sighed. "

The second uncle and aunt's family also sighed in embarrassment.

"Oh, you adults, dad, you are still worried about my job! You don't have to worry about my job. I promise to come to work in the county next year. The workplace is definitely good. Don't worry, Li Wen said with a smile."

"You kid, you're not bragging. This is a lifetime event," Father Li said seriously, looking at Li Wen.

"Don't worry, dad. I met the accountant of a state-owned hotel in town the day before yesterday. Her husband is from the county supply and marketing cooperative. She has a strong background and will definitely have connections. You can rest assured." Li Wen patted his chest and confirmed. "

"Well, I hope you didn't brag," Father Li then gave up.

"Awu, Jianjun, your work is all earned by your brother. You must be grateful to him. If he has difficulties in the future, you must help him. Do you hear me?" the father and aunt warned their excited son. "

"Don't worry, Awen is our brother. Even if he doesn't help us earn jobs, we still have to help if there's anything we need," the two of them hurriedly promised."

"And Zhao Jiefang, your promotion is also thanks to your cousin. You must treat him well in the future, the eldest uncle looked at Zhao Jiefang and told him."

"I understand, Awen is my biological brother. I'm sure. Zhao Jiefang patted Li Wen on the shoulder and said with a smile."

"Boss, you guys will transport the fish over in the next few days. Don't worry about the work," said the eldest uncle.

"Brother-in-law, we've got enough fish. Today it's one hundred catties. Tomorrow night we will carry all the fish from home. It's almost five hundred. It's more than enough for the children's work targets. Father Li smiled and nodded."

"That's good. It's done for the kids. My aunt and uncle laughed happily."

"Then we will stay soon. Brother-in-law, you will arrange these more than 100 kilograms of fish tomorrow. We have to be fast," Li Deyou said, wiping the cigarette butt in his hand.

Everyone went very fast along the way, almost jogging back home. It wasn't too late when they got home, around two o'clock in the morning.

"I came back very quickly today, the old lady said with a smile as she looked at her children and grandchildren."

"There is a happy event, so I came back quickly," said the second uncle, grinning happily.

"What a happy event. The children's jobs are getting better. At this time, the mother and the second aunt came out of the room and asked with a smile."

"It's not that we have an idea, but it has been confirmed. We just need to wait for us to deliver the fish and meat, and then we can get the work quota. My father, Li Deyou, smiled happily."

"Ah! In that case, our family will have three people eating commercial food," mother and second aunt said with wide mouths. "

"Oh! It's not three, it's two. Awen doesn't have one. Li Deyou sat down and took a sip of cold water and sighed."

"The eldest brother-in-law found a total of four indicators. Awen said that he was not old enough, so he gave up and gave up the indicators. The work indicators were given to the eldest brother, the second brother, the eldest sister, and the second brother Li Dezhong of the second sister's family."

"My Awen, Mom is sorry for you. Wang Chunmei hugged Li Wen and started crying."

Only those who have become farmers know the value of an iron rice bowl in the city. Everyone else also sat in the room in silence.

"Okay Mom, I told Dad and the others. I have a way. Li Wen broke out of his mother's arms and said with a bitter smile."

"Really?" Wang Chunmei looked at Li Wen in surprise.

"It's true. I promise to find a job before the Chinese New Year next year. Don't worry, your son can make fun of his own future."

"Okay, then our whole family will celebrate you, and mom will kill the chicken for you to eat," said mother Wang Chunmei fiercely.

"That won't work. We only have five old hens in total. If you kill one, my mother-in-law won't let my father take care of you."

Everyone laughed instantly!

"You kid, I asked you to instigate a relationship between my mother-in-law and my mother-in-law. My mother, Wang Chunmei, gently patted Li Wen on the back of the head."

"Kill, when it's time to work, each of us will kill one chicken. Awen, you kill two. The old hen has no mother to raise. My grandson's future is the first. The old lady looked at Li Wendao with a smile."
Chapter completed!
