Rebirth in 1980, the rise of the golden age

When we arrived at the hall, the waiters had already started serving the dishes one after another.

First cool and then hot, there are already 4 plates of cold dishes of meat and vegetables on the table.

Qiulin red sausage, meat rolls, and salted shrimp are all delicious foods that can only be eaten during the Chinese New Year or at banquets.

Many brothers were so greedy that their mouths were watering and they were swallowing their saliva secretly.

Li Youcai sat down at the main seat and asked the waiter to serve wine.

"Brothers, eat and drink as much as you want in a while. Once you're full, let's go back to the factory and get to work. There's still a month and a half until the Chinese New Year. Brother Cai can't say anything else, but he'll definitely make sure you all have a prosperous New Year!"

"Thank you, Brother Cai~!"

All the brothers cheered loudly.

Wang Qiang was also a little excited.

In just one month, not only did his and Wang Rong's lives undergo tremendous changes, but his brothers in the forest farm also lived a better life.

This made him very happy, and he felt that he had finally repaid the benefactors of the forest farm.

Hot dishes were served one after another.

Widow Wang was just as she said, she had no intention of saving money for Li Youcai and ordered the most expensive dish in the restaurant.

There are chicken, fish and pork elbows.

Li Youcai glanced at the people sitting at the same table.

My younger brother Li Youjie, my childhood friend Niu Dazhuang, Wang Qiang who traveled with me all over the country in my previous life, and Wang Rong who is silent and like a transparent person, these people are my current team.

The weather was cold some time ago and Wang Rong's asthma relapsed.

He stays in the house all day, never going out, and has almost no presence in the factory.

But Li Youcai knew that Wang Rong had a very good brain. Although she had not received much education, she was very sensitive to numbers. In her previous life, she helped him and Wang Qiang with their accounts.

When they go south to trade goods, they can always accurately calculate which goods will bring the greatest profit.

Li Youcai looked at Wang Qiang: "How is Wang Rong's illness?"

"It had a slight relapse some time ago, but it's much better now," said Wang Qiang.

When Wang Rong heard Li Youcai calling her name, she raised her head, which was originally half-lowered, and glanced at Li Youcai.

He was about fifteen or sixteen years old, his skin was a little pale, but his expression was as calm as water.

"Wang Rong is at such a good age, it's really a pity for her to stay in the house every day. Have you ever thought about going to night school to learn something?" Li Youcai asked.

"Going to night school?"

Wang Qiang looked at Wang Rong and then at Li Youcai.

He and Wang Rong have been dependent on each other since childhood. Even eating is a problem, so how could they have extra money to go to school?

Since their parents died, the siblings have never been to school and have never thought about this issue.

"Yes, go to night school. In the future society, only people with knowledge can gain a foothold better. Wang Rong is still young and should not be illiterate like us." Li Youcai said.

Illiteracy is not a shameful thing in this day and age, because nine out of ten people are illiterate.

But being able to write and read is still something to be envied.

Wang Qiang also hopes that Wang Rong can have a better life.

"Brother Cai, how should I attend night school?" Wang Qiang asked.

"There are several categories of night schools. Production teams and street offices have literacy classes, and each unit also has its own skills training classes. However, these are not suitable for Wang Rong. The county library has more professional night school classes. You can just go and study there. It is also more convenient to borrow books there." Li Youcai said.

Wang Qiang didn't expect that attending night school would be so easy.

Then he looked at Wang Rong: "Do you want to go?"

Wang Rong nodded: "Yes."

"Then let's go. Brother Cai is right. Only educated people can achieve greater success in the future. I will take you to the library tomorrow." Wang Qiang said happily.

"Not only Wang Rong has to go, but the brothers also have to go to the street literacy class after get off work. We will do big things in the future, and we definitely can't do it without knowing how to read." Li Youcai said again.

Both go?

"Brother Cai, are we all going?" Wang Qiang made a bitter face. He didn't expect that he would have to go to study too.

Li Youcai said seriously, "Yes! Everyone should go and learn."

"How can you accomplish great things without some knowledge? If you're content to be a peddler forever, I won't stop you if you don't want to learn. But if you want to accomplish great things with me in the future, you must learn to read and write. Otherwise, you won't even be able to read and write when you sign a contract, and you'll be stuck as a small fry for the rest of your life."

Li Youcai's words irritated Wang Qiang. His expression tightened and he said solemnly, "Okay, I'll go!"

Having seen hundreds and thousands of ways to make money, how could Wang Qiang be willing to be just a small follower at this moment?

After eating and drinking, everyone returned to the factory.

With Brother Cai's promise, everyone was full of motivation.

Wang Qiang went to the Xinhua Bookstore and bought dozens of Xinhua dictionaries, which he distributed to his brothers. After get off work in the evening, he took everyone directly to the literacy class organized by the street.

In the following period of time, a strange phenomenon occurred in the factory.

The workers inside hold a Xinhua Dictionary with them all day long. They read the words they cannot read or pronounce according to the pinyin in the dictionary. Some people even use small tree branches to write on the snow.

The peddlers who came to purchase goods were all completely bewildered.

Those who knew about this were all workers at the ice cream factory, while those who didn’t thought this was a school.

Time flies, and the ice cream business has been going on for a full month and a half.

Taking advantage of the peak sales period for New Year's goods at the end of the year, Li Youcai produced a large batch of ice cream and successfully made a fortune.

In the office, Li Youcai opened the cash box, and inside were more than seventy bundles of Great Unity notes neatly stacked.

In order to ensure the safety of the money, Li Youjie and Dazhuang had not returned to the production team for almost a month. They stayed there all day long and never left the team's side for 24 hours.

"Brother! We are rich!" Li Youjie shouted excitedly.

Da Zhuang looked at the money and just smiled foolishly, without any particular feeling. To him, money didn't seem to have any magic power.

Wang Qiang's eyes were also full of brilliance, and he kept swallowing his saliva.

Li Youcai took out a piece of paper, on which was clearly recorded how much ice cream was produced and sold during this period of time, as well as how much goods were supplied to Taihe.

Every account is remembered clearly.

Li Youcai even calculated in advance the dividends to be given to Li Youjie and Wang Qiang.

"During this period, we've produced nearly 19 ice cream bars, generating a profit of over 7 yuan. Youjie is in charge of production at the factory and has made great contributions. Based on 6% of the profits, this is your 10 yuan dividend."

After Li Youcai finished speaking, he took out 7 stacks of Great Unity notes from the cash box, counted out 60 of them separately, and put them together.

Then he pushed it in front of Li Youjie.

When Li Youjie saw the money, his eyes widened!

You know, this money is all his! It belongs completely to him!

With this kind of money, forget about the big brick house, the three turns and the number of legs! Even if he married two Huang Juans, that would be more than enough!

"Thank you, brother!" Li Youjie grabbed the money and shouted happily.

Li Youcai was quick to act and put his hand on the money again. He said with a glare, "You can spend the 600 yuan, and take the remaining yuan home to our father and let him keep it for you!"

"Why?" The joy just now turned into a bitter face in an instant, and Li Youjie was reluctant.

"You haven't started a family yet! If you don't let our father take care of you, how about I take care of you?" Li Youcai said.

"Then I'll let our father take care of it." Li Youjie is not stupid. If the money is in his father's hands, he can still ask for it back, but if it is in his eldest brother's hands, it will be difficult to get it back.

Li Youcai glanced at the paper again, then looked at Wang Qiang and said, "You've been in charge of the delivery line to Taihe. You've made 22 deliveries in total, delivering nearly 11 yuan worth of ice cream, with a profit of 10 yuan. 3300% is yuan. This is yours."

Li Youcai counted out 300 yuan and 3 stacks of cash and pushed them all in front of Wang Qiang.

Wang Qiang was also very excited when he saw that he was given so much money.

It has only been two months since he came to work for Li Youcai, but in these two months, he has earned money that others would need ten years to earn!

This was something he had never dared to imagine before.

"Thank you, Brother Cai!" said Wang Qiang.

Li Youcai took out another wad of money and handed it to Niu Dazhuang: "Dazhuang, this is yours."

Da Zhuang smiled innocently and didn't answer: "Haha..., there's food and drinks here, I don't need money, please keep it for me."

Li Youcai hesitated for a moment and put the money away again.

"Okay, I'll keep it for you. Whenever you need money, I'll give it to you."

Then Li Youcai took out another 10 stacks of money and locked the money box again.

"Let's go and share the money with the brothers."
