Chapter 2 Angry Dad

  The open-air workers in the coal mine earn two yuan and eighteen cents a day, and the underground workers earn three yuan and twenty-four cents a day.

  Working twenty-six days a month, after deducting the commune and brigade’s public welfare funds, pooling funds, etc., five yuan and forty cents, the leftover is fifty-two a month for open-air work, and seventy-eight for underground work.

  The work points of the Dongjiangyan Brigade are not low. Those with full work points can be calculated as one yuan, five or six cents a day, but compared with the wages of coal miners, the difference is still very large.

  Just like what Zhao Dahai said to Xu Chenghou just now, this is a place that is both a worker and a farmer. I don’t know how many people want to grab it.

  The same is working, who doesn't want to earn more money?

  So Zhao Dahai was quite puzzled, why Xu Shiyan didn't want to go to Da'an Coal Mine to work?

   "Uncle Zhao, let you worry about it, I take it."

  Xu Shiyan nodded slightly towards Zhao Dahai, thanking him.

   "Since I am married to a wife, even if I don't work in a coal mine and don't have to rely on my parents, I can still afford my wife and children.

  I really can't go to work in the coal mine. "No matter how high the wages in coal mines are, you have to earn them with your life.

   On July 26, 1979, a gas explosion in the Daan Coal Mine killed seven people and seriously injured two.

  Xu Shiyan was one of the two people who were seriously injured. He was lucky to save his life, and it took half a year for him to recover.

   To live a new life, Xu Shiyan doesn't want to go back to the old path of his previous life. He will never go to the coal mine again.

   "Can you support your wife and children? What are you aiming at? Do you expect you to fish and fish all day long to support your family?"

  As soon as Xu Chenghou heard what his son said, he became angry again, and pointed at the two fish in Xu Shiyan's hand and cursed.

   "You son of a bitch, useless thing. You can't play with a serious thing except for catching fish and shrimp every day.

   Can you support your family? With the few work points you earn, can you support yourself? "

  Xu Chenghou has always looked down on Xu Shiyan. Among the five sons, the third is the worst.

  It is not as good as the eldest who can write and be considered literate, not as quick and quick as the second, not as shrewd and thoughtful as the fourth, and not as smart and aggressive as the fifth.

  No matter what the three sons do, they are calm and stern. Xu Chenghou is short-tempered. When he sees the third son like that, he gets angry and wants to go up and kick him.

   "I'm incompetent? Isn't it thanks to you that I am incompetent?

  I was in junior high school, but you said it was useless to study so many books, I might as well come down and work.

  I studied medicine with Mr. Chu, you are afraid of being implicated by others, so you ran to the commune to make trouble.

  The year before last, the barefoot doctor selected candidates and went to the county health school for half a year training. "

  Xu Shiyan looked at the angry father in front of him, the excitement and emotion of being reborn had long since disappeared.

   If it is true, Xu Shiyan accomplished nothing in his previous life, and his father Xu Chenghou's credit was also part of it.

  Xu Shiyan was in poor health when he was a child, he went to school late, and he didn't go to elementary school until he was ten years old, and he went to junior high school just in time for the most noisy time.

  Xu Chenghou said that studying is useless, it is better to come down to work in the farm and earn some work points.

  Xu Shiyan was obedient and obediently dropped out of school and went home to work.

  When he was young, he helped feed the animals at the other end of the cowshed.

   Just in time for the provincial government to send a group of people to the Daying Commune, one of them, surnamed Chu, was not young, and he was tortured a lot.

  Xu Shiyan has a good heart and takes special care of others. Seeing that Xu Shiyan is kind-hearted, smart and calm, Mr. Chu wanted to accept him as an apprentice and teach him some medical skills.

   As a result, Xu Chenghou knew about it, and he was afraid of being implicated, so he made a fuss and almost killed Mr. Chu, so Xu Shiyan had no choice but to change to work elsewhere.

  Xu Shiyan was very interested in studying medicine, and later found a way to buy books for self-study.

   It happened that the barefoot doctor was selected the year before last, and he went to the county for training for half a year and passed the exam before he could practice medicine.

  Xu Shiyan excitedly wanted to sign up, but was stopped by Xu Chenghou, who felt that half a year of off-duty study would be too late for work and less money.

   "The result? Those of my classmates who graduated from junior high school all recruited and got jobs.

  Only I did not finish junior high school, so I could only work as a farmer at home.

  Old Chu, he is the principal of the Provincial Medical University. He was picked up last year and resumed his duties.

   Just wait and see, in a few years, barefoot doctors may also be able to become regulars and be assigned to commune hospitals, and they will all have serious jobs.

   At that time, I see you regret it or not? "Xu Shiyan gritted his teeth, thinking of the opportunities he missed in his previous life, regretting and hating.

   What was delayed by his father in the previous life, and this is not the only thing?

  In 1979, Xu Shixian and Xu Shian followed their wives back to the city and moved away. Xu Shiyan also moved his mind to leave this poor and remote place along the Dongjiang River.

   Xu Chenghou disagreed with his life and death, but he just refused to let him go.

   It was not until 1987, when Xu Chenghou passed away, that Xu Shiyan was in charge of the family, and then moved from Dongjiangyan Village to Donggang Town.

  It's a pity that it's too late. The land in Donggang has been allocated long ago. There is no ginseng land or farmland, so we can only start from scratch with nothing.

   At the start, I lagged a lot behind others, and I couldn't catch up no matter what.

   Not only these, Mr. Xu disliked Xu Shiyan's daughter-in-law who had given birth to two daughters, and kept pouting and scolding all day long without showing a good face.

   Helpless, Xu Shiyan and his wife gave birth to a son despite the pressure, and were fined a lot of money.

   Life was not good at first, but now it is even worse.

   What's even more irritating is that the son Feixin Baal raised is a **** prodigal son.

  Nothing to do, no leftovers to eat, Wuwu Xuanxuan can only brag all day, and you have to dust it three times when you say it, and there are not a few words that are sincere.

  Xu Shiyan spent his whole life worrying about his son, and sometimes he thought, if he had known that such a thing would be raised, it would be better not to have it.

  Well, starting over again in this life, he will definitely not let that little **** have a chance to be born.

  Xu Shiyan's words really poked Xu Chenghou's lungs.

  That’s all for nothing else, just talking about Mr. Chu’s incident, Xu Chenghou didn’t regret dying when he heard the news.

  Principal of the University of Medical Sciences, if he knew at the beginning, he would have to let the third child learn from others.

   During these seven or eight years, even if the third child has learned half of his skills from others, that would be great.

   At that time, I will go to the provincial capital with Mr. Chu, maybe I can be a college student of workers, peasants and soldiers.

  That is to change the court, and it is no longer a muddy leg digging in the soil.

  When Xu Chenghou thought of the regrettable words of relatives and friends when he returned to Daying last year, he felt old blood welling up.

  Why didn't he think of it at the beginning? A good opportunity was missed in vain.

   But he regretted it, let his son choke in front of outsiders, how could Xu Chenghou's old face stand?

   I was annoyed at that time, and picked up the **** in my hand again.

   "Just because you are worthy? Don't take a **** to take care of your own virtues.

  You are born poor, even if you are given a golden palace, you have to be lucky enough to sit on it.

   Let me ask you, will you go to this Daan Coal Mine? If you don't go to work, I will smash you to death today. "Xu Chenghou's eyes were red, and he asked fiercely.

   "If you don't go, you won't go. Do whatever you like, and you will have to pay for killing me." Xu Shiyan's temper also came up.

  He is over sixty years old, and he is living a new life, when he is still afraid of his father like in his previous life? I got into a fight with this old man today.
