Rebirth in 1970: I work as an educated youth in a forestry farm

Zhou Mingyuan and his wife followed their daughter's finger and looked at Sheng Xiping who was coming from the opposite side.

The young man in front of me is quite tall, with thick eyebrows, big eyes and good facial features.

Although he was wearing a set of half-worn blue work clothes, there was no stain on him, and he looked quite neat and tidy.

The young man has a tall and straight figure, short hair, and sharp eyes. He looks quite attractive at first sight, and makes a good first impression.

Zhou Mingyuan and his wife looked at it, nodded slightly, and said nothing else. At first glance, they were quite pleasing to the eye.

Hello, Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou. Sheng Xiping came forward with a smile and greeted Zhou Mingyuan and his wife.

“Hey, hey, good, good, all good.

Xiao Sheng, I have to thank you for letting you remember that there is no firewood at home, so I brought you a cart of firewood all the way.

Wang Chunxiu looked at the young man in front of him and thought it was okay.

He looks good, but the key is to be good at things. He has just met his partner, and he can think of the Zhou family in every aspect.

Wang Chunxiu saw the large cart of firewood, which was estimated to be at least ten feet long.

If you buy it elsewhere, it will cost a lot of money.

The young man is so thoughtful, how can they not appreciate it?

At this time, Chen Weiguo and others also came over to say hello, calling Zhou Mingyuan and his wife uncle and aunt.

Zhou Mingyuan and his wife were happy and beaming.

Oh, look, there is no firewood in this house, and we have to alert so many people to help.

You are all going home for lunch this afternoon. Auntie will cook something delicious for you.

Chen Weiguo and others were not polite and agreed directly.

There's a big load of firewood waiting over there, and it's getting late, so how can we keep standing here chatting?

Hurry up and unload the truck and transport it home, otherwise it will be a big deal to anyone who looks at it if you leave it here.

So, everyone exchanged a few words and went over to unload and load the truck.

Zhou Mingyuan and his wife asked three or four apprentices from the machine repair shop to help, plus Sheng Xiping and a few others, who happened to be unloading here and loading the car on the other.

Chen Weiguo and the others were all serious about it. They knew that they were loading firewood for Sheng Xiping's partner's house. This big truck was packed with solid materials, and there was no room for empty space.

The Jiefang that Zhou Mingyuan borrowed from Donggang Forest Farm was only half loaded.

Uncle Zhou, let's do this. You two go back with the car and take care of your home. We'll wait here.

After a while the car came back, we loaded up the next car and took it directly to our home.

When Sheng Xiping saw that the big car was full, he told Zhou Mingyuan to let them escort the car back first.

It hasn't been unloaded here yet, so we can't leave it. He just needs to lead people here to take care of it.

“Oh, okay, okay, let’s take the car back first.

Xiao Sheng, Xiao Gao, please take a break first and stop working.

Zhou Mingyuan took a look and saw that the car was indeed packed with a lot of firewood. The firewood was even with the car's pillars. No matter how high it was, it would be dangerous.

So Zhou Mingyuan nodded quickly and told everyone to take a rest.

Come on, there are sodas, bread and so on.

You guys came down very early in the morning and probably haven't eaten well yet, so take a bite first.

We'll finish our work later and go home for dinner.

Wang Chunxiu specially asked someone to order the bread from Qiliang Store yesterday. He picked it up as soon as it was made this morning.

The soda was brought in a carton from the store.

With so many people helping with the work, the Zhou family are not stingy people and must be well entertained.

Nowadays, bread and soda is a good thing, and most people can't eat it.

Thank you uncle, thank you aunt.

Everyone was busy loading the car, and they were indeed tired and thirsty. Everyone was not polite and went over to get a bottle of soda.

Here, Zhou Mingyuan and his son and several apprentices climbed up to sit on the roof of the car. Wang Chunxiu, Zhou Qinglan and Tang Fengying were crowded in the driver's cab.

They went back to Zhou's house to unload the car first, and Zhou Mingyuan would bring people over later.

The car drove away, and Sheng Xiping and others found a place to sit down and rest.

After a while, Sheng Xiping stood up and said, Brothers, please sit down for now. I'll go to the purchasing station over there.

He remembered that the second and third sons had asked him to help sell copper. He happened to be free at the moment, so he should go and sell it quickly.

Otherwise, he couldn't carry those things back to Zhou's house because they were so heavy, right?

Xiping, what are you doing at the purchasing station?

Gao Haining and others found it strange that the gastrodia elata and other medicinal materials they cultivated in the mountains could be sold directly to the purchase station attached to the forest farm store. No one would carry the items all the way down to sell them.

Sheng Xiping is buying a railway station for Sentai Railway. What does he want to sell?

Don't mention it. Our second and third oldest children have to let me sell the copper belts they saved.

Sheng Xiping smiled helplessly. He agreed. He also brought the copper, so he had to go and have a look.

Just sell it if you can, no matter how much it costs to get it back, just give up.

Oh, I remembered, we also have copper at home.

They were all knocked out of scrap metal that the school asked my brother and others to pick up last year and this year.

Come on, I'll go with you and ask about the price. Whenever I come down again, I'll take some of my copper and sell it.

When Wang Jianshe heard this, he stood up.

In fact, other people also have copper at home, but there is still half a truck of firewood that has not been unloaded. They can't all leave without anyone taking care of them.

So the others didn't move. Anyway, Sheng Xiping would know how much it would cost when he came back later and asked.

Sheng Xiping took out two bags of broken copper from the basket on his back, which weighed about six or seven kilograms. He carried them out of the Forest Railway Station and walked forward. Sure enough, there was a buying station on the roadside not far away.

The two of them entered the purchasing station, and there were not many people inside. The two salesmen stood behind the counter, with cold expressions and did not pay attention to anyone.

Comrade, please ask, do you collect scrap copper here? How much does it cost per pound?

Sheng Xiping stepped forward and asked politely.

The person at the counter didn't even raise his head and said, Take it. Just look at the blackboard over there for the price.

There was a hint of impatience in the voice.

When Wang Jianshe saw this, he became angry. Isn't this person's attitude too arrogant?

Just as he was about to go over to argue with someone, Sheng Xiping caught him.

Don't make trouble, this is not our forest farm's store, everyone is familiar with it.

We don’t even know them, so we just sold them and left.

Normally, smiling service is not popular these days, and we don’t understand what the customer is.

They are employees of public institutions and have an iron rice bowl.

Even if you don't get a single piece of copper, you still get a salary. It's normal to ignore people, so don't worry about it.

Wang Jianshe was stopped by Sheng Xiping, but at least he didn't get angry. The two turned their heads and looked at the wall next to them.

There is a blackboard hanging on the wall over there, with horizontal and vertical lines and grids written in yellow paint. The catalog and prices of the acquisitions at the purchasing station are written in the grids.

Sheng Xiping took a closer look. Good guy, brass costs eight yuan per catty, and copper costs twelve yuan per catty.

To be honest, Sheng Xiping took a breath when he saw the price.

He knew that copper was valuable, but it was still much more valuable than expected.

But it’s understandable if you think about it. With construction going on everywhere, copper is still in short supply, and the price is naturally high.
