Rebirth in 1958: Getting rich starts from Nanluoguxiang

Dabao pulled Grandpa back. How could this old man be kowtowed to thank his ancestors? He was clearly going to announce it to the world.

"Second Uncle." Dabao quickly changed the subject: "You should go find Brother Dazhu these two days and ask him to organize people to go hunting in the mountains. Now that spring has arrived, wild animals are out looking for food, so it's easy to hunt. Try to catch as many as possible.

After the hunt, they came to the commune to find me. I have a good relationship with the deputy director of my father's factory, so I can exchange game for food, but the quantity must be large; less is not worth it."

Grandpa slapped his thigh when he heard it, and said with tears in his voice: "Dabao, Grandpa...Grandpa thanks you..." Tears flowed from Grandpa's cloudy eyes: "You saved the lives of our entire village."

Dabao used his hands to wipe his grandfather's tears distressedly, and kept saying anxiously: "Grandpa, don't cry, isn't this what I should do?"

The grandfather held his grandson's hand and said, "Grandson, your grandmother and I are not reluctant to eat it. Isn't the grain we harvested for people to eat?

We couldn't eat much. Seeing the villagers shivering with hunger, plucking and eating any leaves that were a little green, our hearts ached.

The people in this village either call us uncle, aunt, grandpa or grandma. How can we, as the elders, bear to see them starving while we ourselves are well fed?

But we old people are incapable, we can’t even feed our children a full meal, we, we… can’t eat…”

Grandpa buried his face in his hands, tears overflowed from between his palms and fell to the ground.

Grandma also nodded while sobbing, and Qin Qingfu squatted on the ground without saying a word.

Dabao's heart felt like it was being cut by a knife. He patted his grandfather's back and said softly, "Grandpa, I know how you feel. This year, according to experts, is a year of great disasters. There will be floods in the south and droughts in the north, and no crops will be harvested.

The reason why I always wanted my second uncle to be the team leader was because I didn't want to see the villagers starving.

This year, we need to plant sweet potatoes, corn and potatoes in the fields. At least two-thirds of the land should be used to plant these three drought-resistant crops.

Don't blindly follow the commune's arrangements and grow rice and wheat; that's the only way you can barely fill your stomach."

"But..." Second Uncle stood up, frowning: "But we still have to pay the public grain. After paying the public grain, there will be nothing left. It's still not enough to eat."

Dabao glanced outside and whispered, "So we have to find a way to find a piece of land in the mountains and grow sweet potatoes and potatoes, and nothing else."

"No, no, no." Grandpa shook his head like a rattle: "This is going to be a mistake. No, no, no."

"Grandpa, that's why we let Second Uncle be the team leader and find some reliable people. We'll grow crops secretly. We won't sell them anyway, so just enough to eat is fine."

Grandpa and second uncle didn't say anything, but they both looked worried.

"Master..., we really don't have to be afraid of this. I'm here at the commune. I'll take care of anyone who dares to act rashly. Besides, who can stop us from finding plants in the mountains for food? Who dares to stop ordinary people from going into the mountains to find food?"

Grandma clapped her hands and said, "Yes, these sweet potatoes and potatoes are wild in the mountains. What's wrong with us finding them? We can't stop us from eating them, right?"

Grandpa nodded and said, "As long as those few people keep their mouths shut, there won't be any problems."

The second uncle shook his head again: "No, no, there are so many big animals in this mountain. Planting some sweet potatoes and potatoes won't be enough to make them cause trouble."

Grandpa slapped him, and the second uncle covered the back of his head and cried out in pain: "Dad, why did you hit me?"

Grandpa was very disappointed with me: "You are such a blockhead, you are not smart at all. Why don't you just put a wooden fence around it?"

Only then did my second uncle react and stopped crying out in pain.

Dabao took out two envelopes from his bag: "I've also arranged things for my family. These are two job introduction letters from our commune's grain station. I asked someone to get them for them. They're for my second aunt and my old aunt..."

At this moment, Qin Qinggui, his second sister-in-law, and his wife came into the house. When they heard this, the second aunt was introverted and didn't have time to say anything. The old aunt rushed over and grabbed Dabao: "Oh my God, Dabao, is this true?"

"What's so real?" Qin Qinggui pulled his wife's clothes and said, "You old ladies, just stay at home. If you have work, don't you come to us men first?"

The old aunt glared at him and said, "Come on, I heard it clearly just now. Dabao said he found a job for me and my second sister-in-law, right, my second sister-in-law?"

Second Aunt nodded silently. Although she was not good at speaking, the desire in her eyes was unstoppable.

Qin Qinggui was anxious: "You old woman..."

Grandpa coughed and said, "Be quiet, are you guys listening to me? This matter is up to my eldest grandson, so listen carefully."

The two daughters-in-law dared not speak. Qin Qinggui came to Dabao and said with a smile: "Nephew..."

Dabao nudged him and said, "Didn't my grandfather tell you to be quiet, uncle? I have arranged everything for you. It will be your turn soon."

Dabao looked at his grandparents and said, "Why did you let my second aunt and my old aunt go to the grain station? First, the work is easy. The busy time all year round is when the grain is harvested. Second, the female comrades can stay there peacefully. They won't be like the male employees who drink and play cards every day."

He glanced at Qin Qinggui and said, "Uncle, I don't think you can resist this temptation. If that happens, you will have a bad ending. The separation of your wife and children is the least of your worries. You'd better stay in front of me honestly."

Qin Qinggui rolled his eyes. He didn't dare to argue with Dabao. If he did, he would definitely get beaten. He squatted on the ground with his arms folded in anger. He automatically ignored the last sentence Dabao said.

Dabao ignored him and continued, "Second Uncle, when you become the team leader, Second Aunt and Old Aunt will be at the grain station. When you deliver the grain in the future, they can also help you with the weight and quality inspection. No one will be able to shake your position then. Moreover, you bring benefits to the entire production team. Who else will the team members support if not you?"

Qin Qingfu was also hesitant, which one was better, a job or being a team leader?

Grandma understood what Dabao meant. As the saying goes, no one knows a son better than his mother. She knew her son's character best. She clapped her hands and said, "It's settled. Shufen and Xiuhe, you two will take these two jobs. Do your best and don't embarrass your nephew."

Second Aunt and Old Aunt's faces flushed with excitement and they nodded continuously.

Dabao waved his hands: "It's not that serious."

Qin Qinggui raised his head and cried out aggrievedly: "Mother..."

When his grandmother glared at him, he immediately became obedient, lowered his head and dared not speak. Qin Dabao couldn't help laughing, and he pulled Qin Qinggui up.

"Ah, why is my uncle acting like a child? Didn't I tell you? You will follow me and do it in front of me."

"What? What do you mean?" Qin Qinggui was dumbfounded.

Grandpa and grandma didn't understand what it meant either, and they just stared at Dabao.

Dabao pulled out another envelope from his bag: "I came to the commune police station for a temporary position. One condition was that I be given a few job openings. So the bureau and the commune gave me three, and I left one for my uncle."

"What? What kind of job?" Qin Qinggui was completely dumbfounded.

Qin Qingfu was so envious that he kicked Qin Qinggui to Kangqin: "Are you stupid? Dabao said, police! You are going to be a police officer, what else?"

"Public security? I'm a public security officer? Wife, hit me, am I dreaming?"

The old lady pinched his thigh hard, partly to vent her anger, and partly because she was happy that she had a job and no longer had to work in the fields.

Qin Qinggui screamed "Ah!" It was so painful that his voice was split.

The wrinkles on grandpa and grandma's faces were all brightened with joy, and their hands and feet were shaking. What happened today? Why did good things keep happening one after another?

Dabao quickly said, "Don't be too happy yet. This is a temporary job. It will take three years of training and passing the training before it can be converted to a regular employee. But it won't be a problem."
