Traveling between the 70s and the modern world

After working in the countryside for more than a year, her legs and feet have become much faster. In the past two days, she has often drunk the well water in the space.

Lin Qingyan, who had been busy for most of the day, did not feel tired and walked down the mountain full of energy.

In less than half an hour, we were away from the two-story building and walked onto a street.

It was very hot in the afternoon in summer, and there were few people on the street at this time. Occasionally, a few people would hold a rectangular object in their hands and look down at it.

There were some shops on the street, but strangely, the doors were all closed. Through the doors, you could see that there were people inside and the lights were on.

It was a really strange place, with the door closed and the lights on in broad daylight. This obvious waste was hard for Lin Qingyan to accept.

She walked down the street and finally found an open door with the word "Agency" written on it.

There were several women inside and a man who looked like a staff member.

"Urgently recruiting short-term workers, hourly workers, daily wages, 20 yuan an hour. Get paid after you finish the work!" came the man's voice.

Lin Qingyan, who was about to leave, stopped quickly.

What kind of work is this? I can get 20 yuan an hour, which is almost a worker’s monthly salary in 76.

I guess I was wrong. Even before her rebirth, when she lived to see him in 83, 20 yuan was the monthly expenses for many rural families.

Conversations could be heard from inside: "It's been sunny lately, with no rain, so the fruits are ripening quickly. Manual picking can't keep up, and the boss is getting anxious. He's now hiring hourly workers."

"20 yuan an hour is a bit low in such hot weather!"

"Sister, the normal rate for picking like this is 80-100 yuan a day. Now hourly workers are paid 15 to 18 yuan an hour.

This is the price after the weather has increased, and the boss also said that fruit pickers can take 5 kilograms with them when they leave. "

"Can I take 5 kilograms of any fruit?"

"Sister, regular ones are fine. The expensive ones are definitely not allowed, but you can eat some as long as it doesn't interfere with your work."

The man called Xiao Liu answered various questions helplessly.

"I have to pick up my child later. Can I work for two or three hours?" one of the women asked.

"Normally it's not allowed, but now it's a special situation and the boss has said that we can make special arrangements. It's allowed these few days, but it has to be at least one hour."

The man said as he picked up the cube in his hand and lit it.

A voice came from inside, "Xiao Liu, find a way to recruit more people. Salary is not a problem. If we don't pick the fruits now, they will rot on the trees."

"Okay, Boss Wang, there are a few mothers here who need to pick up their children later and can only work for a few hours. I'll take them over right away."

The man called Xiao Liu spoke to the rectangle.

After Xiao Liu finished speaking, he said to the women around him: "Sisters, those who need to work should keep up and settle the bill on the spot after the work is done."

After saying this, he was about to walk out. At this time, Lin Qingyan had already walked into the store unknowingly.

"I can also work for 2-3 hours, is that okay?" Lin Qingyan calculated the time for the educated youth to get off work and asked the man called Xiao Liu.

"Wow, this little girl is dressed really beautifully, is it some kind of retro style?"

Several women in the room also noticed Lin Qingyan. One of them asked with shining eyes when she saw her with pigtails, a double-breasted top and coarse cloth pants.

"Is this the popular style this year? It looks a bit like the clothes from the 1960s and 1970s," another woman asked.

Lin Qingyan was frightened by modern people's passion for beauty. She was a little embarrassed to look up, so she lowered her head and smiled shyly.

But I couldn't help but think, isn't this exactly the style of the 1970s? It's authentically the style of the 1970s.

"You've made the little girl embarrassed."

"Sisters, let's go and work first, 20 yuan an hour, and you can still work for 3 hours by the time you pick up the kids, and 60 yuan can give you an extra meal in the evening."

Although Xiao Liu was also very curious about the new Lin Qingyan, he had not forgotten his job.

"Little girl, are you an adult? Although hourly workers don't have a formal contract, you can't hire child laborers. Do you have your ID card with you?" Xiao Liu asked, looking at Lin Qingyan's obviously childish face.

ID card, what is that? Is it a letter of introduction? Lin Qingyan thought to herself, but she didn't stop talking.

"I'm 20."

"Little girl, do you want to earn some pocket money, or do some work-study?"

One of the women saw that the little girl looked nervous and interrupted Xiao Liu's question about Lin Qingyan's age.

"I want to earn some money on my own. At home..." Lin Qingyan continued following the words handed over by the woman.

The other women instantly gained a lot of intelligence.

"The little girl is great. No matter what era, women still have to earn money on their own and control their own lives." said a woman with a plain face and neat clothes.

"Okay, little girl, you can come along, but we have to make it clear that you have to work a full hour to get paid. If you work less than an hour, you won't get paid." Xiao Liu finally kindly reminded.

"I know, thank you!" Lin Qingyan was very sensitive to other people's kindness and quickly expressed her gratitude.

A few people walked to the door, watched Xiao Liu get into a car, and said to them:

"It takes more than 20 minutes to walk there. Sisters, please make do with a van. If you leave early, there will be no car to take you back."

"I know, I know."

Lin Qingyan followed a few women and got into the so-called van. The direction the car drove was actually Xishui Village, the direction Lin Qingyan had just come from.

The car was very fast and not bumpy. Lin Qingyan, who had to take a train and then change cars, tractors, and even walk to the countryside, was extremely envious.

If the speed was the same in 76, she would have been able to go home for the New Year. Since she went to the countryside, she has never been back home once. She missed home, especially after her rebirth. She missed home very much, her parents and her younger brother. As for her brother, oh!

The familiar house in front of her interrupted Lin Qingyan's thoughts. In front of the car was the abandoned house that Lin Qingyan came out of.

Lin Qingyan had just walked for nearly half an hour, but the car arrived in just a few minutes.

After passing the abandoned house and turning onto another road, I saw a sign 2 minutes later with a few big words on it: Creek Farm.

Lin Qingyan immediately thought that the boss should be from Xishui Village.

But what Lin Qingyan didn't know was that many people who saw Xishui Farm on the Internet complained that the farm owner was a lazy man because he didn't even bother to name the farm.

Walking inside, you will see fruit trees on both sides of the road, including red peaches and purple and green grapes of different shapes.

The car finally stopped on a hill.
