Rebirth in 1980, the rise of the golden age

Li Youcai sat on the red bricks.

"Go ahead."

Li Youjie turned around and faced his elder brother.

"Brother, something happened at Huang Juan's home..."

Li Youjie babble, and told Li Youcai everything that Huang Juan told him yesterday.

"Brother, if Huang Juan's second brother can't find a job in the county town, then my relationship with Huang Juan will have to be postponed."

"Brother, you know a lot of people, why don't you help me find a job?"

Li Youjie tried to sort out the cause and effect of this matter for Li Youcai, guiding Li Youcai bit by bit.

Li Youjie has been thinking about this matter for a whole day, but he has no idea what to do.

Now I can only ask for help from my elder brother Li Youcai.

After all, Li Youcai had helped Widow Wang find a job before, and he knew many people in the county town.

Li Youcai had already understood the meaning of Li Youjie's words and hit Li Youjie's arm with his gloves.

I feel a little disappointed with him.

"His parents don't even know you exist yet, and you're already trying to find a job for their son. Should I call you stupid or dumb?"

"What did I tell you before? If you want to be friends, be open about it. Don't be sneaky."

"Look at yourself now, what's the difference between you and a licking dog?"

We are just friends and neither of our parents know about it yet. It’s okay to just give each other some small favors from time to time.

Now you even want to find a job for someone else.

Li Youcai really didn't know what was going on in his brother's mind.

Li Youjie asked in confusion, "Brother, what is a licking dog?"

The word "licking dog" had not been invented in those days. Li Youjie had no idea what it meant and could only instinctively feel that it was not a good word.

"That's just you! People who lick others without any dignity are lickers, do you understand?" Li Youcai explained unhappily.

When I heard this word, it turned out to be an insult.

Li Youjie was also a little unhappy.

Pulling a face.

"If you don't want to help, then don't help. Why are you scolding me?"

Although he knew that people in love were a little abnormal in their brains, as the eldest brother, Li Youcai still couldn't help but say a few words to prevent Li Youjie from going further and further down the path of a dog bootlicker.

"Brother, as a human being, especially as a man, you have to be hard."

"Helping Huang Juan's second brother find a job isn't a big deal for our family, but have you ever thought about why we should help them?"

"Huang Juan is my girlfriend, isn't that enough?" Li Youjie said in a deep voice.

"Do his parents know? Does his brother know? Do their families agree with you two?" Li Youcai asked three questions in a row in a cold voice, knowing the answer.

Li Youjie wanted to argue, but faced with these three questions, he didn't know how to answer.

Because what his elder brother said was true.

An indescribable feeling welled up in Li Youjie's heart.

Li Youcai continued, "You and Huang Juan are now virgin lovers, but there's actually nothing substantial going on."

"When I ask you to take the initiative, I mean to develop relationships, not to work like a slave for others. Do you understand?"

"The more you talk, the more unpleasant it becomes. Who are they who treats me like a slave? I just want to help and show off in front of Huang Juan. That way, their family will be more likely to accept me." Li Youjie said.

"wrong again!"

Li Youcai said in a deep voice: "As a person, you must put yourself in the right position. If someone asks you to do something and you help them, that's a favor. If they don't ask you to do something and you take the initiative to help them, that's giving away money!"

"That's all I have to say to you. Please understand it carefully."

Li Youcai stood up and brushed off the red brick dust on his butt.

Then he went aside and started packing his things.

The work here is almost done. Once the cement dries tomorrow, it can be used normally.

And next, he still has a lot to do.

For continuous production, we can no longer burn straw, we have to burn coal.

There are also more aluminum lunch boxes, as well as raw materials such as milk for making ice cream. Some of these things can be purchased at the supply and marketing cooperatives, such as white sugar and corn starch.

Some of them need to be purchased elsewhere.

For example, fresh milk.

If we want to make ice cream in batches now, the demand for fresh milk is not just one or two hundred kilograms.

Li Youcai could only go to the milk station and buy it in large quantities.

Li Youcai cleaned the trowel and put away the tools one by one. He then filled the remaining cement on the ground directly into the other holes.

After he had packed up everything, he looked back and saw Li Youjie still sitting there in a daze.

So he shouted at Li Youjie, "Don't just sit there like an idiot, Deputy Manager. Hurry up and get on the cart. Follow me to the aluminum products factory. Let's bring back some more lunch boxes."

Li Youjie stood up and dusted off the dust on his body.

Put the red bricks under your butt back into the corner.

Then he pulled the cart and left the factory with Li Youcai.

The cold wind outside blew on his face, bringing a little clarity to his confused mind.

"Brother, what should I do now?"

"The fact that you asked this question shows that you still haven't figured it out." Li Youcai shook his head.

He is usually a very smart person, so why is he so stupid about this matter?

"You don't have to do anything right now, understand? Unless Huang Juan asks you for help, you must never ask for it. Do you understand now?"

Li Youjie understood what he said and knew what to do, but he felt that this was a bit too cunning and that his brother was too cunning.

You have to calculate everything you do.

"I understand." Although he didn't agree in his heart, Li Youjie still responded.

The two brothers pulled the cart and went to the supply and marketing cooperative first.

The ticket scalper waiting outside the door was now very familiar with Li Youcai. When he saw Li Youcai coming, he immediately went to greet him.

"Brother is here, do you want to order any tickets today?"

"How many sugar coupons do you have?" Li Youcai asked.

As the saying goes, the first time is the second time, and now Li Youcai is pretty familiar with buying tickets.

"I have thirty tickets for two catties." The ticket seller held up three fingers.

Li Youcai said readily, "I want them all!"

When the ticket scalper heard this, he was so happy that his teeth almost burst out: "Okay, brother."

"I want more sugar coupons. Please buy more and keep them all for me." Li Youcai said.

The ticket scalper said confidently, "No problem, don't worry, brother. I'll go and buy tickets with my brothers tonight."

"By the way, brother, I just bought a bicycle ticket, it's still hot, do you want it?" the ticket seller suddenly asked.

The "three turns and one ring" refers to the bicycle. It is a big deal for anyone to own a bicycle these days.

He was wearing a Zhongshan suit, a Qianfeng cap, leather shoes, and a 28-inch bicycle.

Just ride on the street.

It's just as cool as wearing Armani, sunglasses, and driving a convertible sports car in later generations.

The only difference is that one carries the girl on the passenger seat, while the other carries the girl on the front bumper or the back seat.

"How much?" Li Youcai was a little tempted.

"Others ask for at least 12 yuan, but if you want it, just give me 10 yuan." The ticket scalper was also good at talking. The market price of the item was obviously 8 yuan, but he made it seem like he was doing a big favor.

Li Youcai walks around the streets and can see through this little trick at a glance.

He whispered, "You must have made a lot of money with me during this period."

The ticket scalper grinned and said, "Brother, you're so pitiful and take care of my business. I've taken it all to heart. Don't worry, brother. If I find something good in the future, I'll definitely think of you first."

"You're quite good at talking. I want this bicycle ticket."
