After transmigrating to this world, Lin Yuan didn't sleep well in this unfamiliar environment.
At around six in the morning, the sound of other people getting up to brush their teeth, wash their clothes, and wash their vegetables could be heard in the courtyard.
The voices gradually became noisy.
Lin Yuan helplessly woke up early.
In the courtyard, a few aunties were wearing thick coats and carrying baskets to the market to buy vegetables.
Lin Yuan even saw a person in navy blue pushing a bicycle. There was a huge pile of equipment on the bicycle. It seemed like Xu Damao was going to the countryside to film a movie.
Lin Yuan followed the crowd and prepared to go to the market to buy a chicken and some meat and eggs for his sister's birthday.
Following the crowd in the courtyard, they soon arrived at Dongdan Market.
This market was slightly closer to the Siheyuan, and the Chaoyang Market required a bus to get there.
"Selling ducks!"
"Fresh eggs, come and take a look!”
"Selling pigeons, selling pigeons!"
The place was bustling with people. Early in the morning, there were all kinds of uncles, aunties, young ladies, and young wives carrying baskets to buy vegetables.
Lin Yuan found a farmer and prepared to buy chickens.
"How much is your chicken?"
"These are chickens I raise at home. I only sell them for one yuan each.”
The tanned country bumpkin had a simple and honest expression.
People in this era were not very calculative. Moreover, the poultry bought here were basically raised at home, unlike those in the future who were fed with feed and might even be injected with hormones.
"One yuan, how about 95 cents?”
Lin Yuan did some calculations. With the money in his hands, he could still buy vegetables if he bargained for 5 cents!
"Alright, you're the first one here today, so I'll give you a discount!”
The farmer thought for a while and nodded. Then, he started to catch the chicken and tied Lin Yuan up with a straw rope.
"Alright, take it."
Lin Yuan happily paid the money and went to buy other vegetables.
Xiaoxiao bought a pound of meat, a few pounds of white flour, and some vegetables. Lin Yuan spent about 1.30 yuan.
The main reason was that Lin Yuan didn't have any more food and meat tickets, so the others would pay according to the black market price. Lin Yuan would pay more.
Lin Yuan returned with a full load. When he returned to the Siheyuan, it was only around 7 pm. There was still enough time to make breakfast.
Lin Yuan placed the chicken in his own cage and tied its legs with a rope to the side of the cage. This way, he didn't have to worry about it escaping.
"Yaoyao, I'll go to work later. You have to take good care of this chicken. We'll stew it for your birthday tonight!”
Lin Yuan instructed Yaoyao.
"Got it, brother. I'll take good care of it!”
Yaoyao nodded obediently.
Lin Yuan had a hasty breakfast and went to work at the rolling mill.
……………………………………
As one of the few steel companies in the Imperial Capital, the Red Star Rolling Mill played an important role in the country's modern construction.
The huge rolling mill had more than ten thousand people.
It was even more crowded during the morning working hours. Many workers wearing blue Bragi were smiling and laughing as they went to work.
Occasionally, there would be a few people who rode their bicycles to work. When faced with such a rich person, everyone looked envious.
It was a huge rolling mill with tens of thousands of people, and not many workers had bicycles.
There were all kinds of big slogans pasted on the wall.
They said that we workers have strength, and unity is strength.
The factory's speakers were also playing the most popular songs of this era.
Lin Yuan arrived at the first workshop. He was still an apprentice, so he had to do more work.
In fact, he had been learning from Yi Zhonghai for more than half a year and was almost ready to be promoted to a formal worker.
"Ah Yuan, why are you so early today?"
"Let's roll these parts first."
Yi Zhonghai immediately instructed when he saw Lin Yuan.
Yi Zhonghai was a very rare Level 8 fitter in the factory. He had many apprentices and had a high salary of 90 yuan!
Although he was not a leader, no one in the factory dared to provoke him.
He could be considered a respectable old employee!
"Alright!"
Lin Yuan nodded his head and started working skillfully.
"Master One, I've been an apprentice for half a year, and I know almost everything now. Can you see if you can let me become an official worker?”
Lin Yuan wouldn't be as submissive as his previous self. He had already worked for Yi Zhonghai for half a year, and Yi Zhonghai only needed to sit and drink tea during this period of time. He would receive a salary of 90 yuan for nothing and do all the work for Lin Yuan.
Yi Zhonghai was stunned for a moment and looked at Lin Yuan. He didn't expect Lin Yuan to take the initiative to bring it up today.
"Alright, I'll talk to the leader and let you become a full-time employee.”
"You can get more salary after you become a full-time employee. Then, you can let Yaoyao live a better life.”
After Yi Zhonghai agreed, Lin Yuan did his work in peace and didn't say anything else.
After working for a day, Lin Yuan's small body still felt a little tired.
However, seeing that the surrounding workers seemed to have gotten used to it and wanted to go home for dinner, they smiled again.
Lin Yuan could only sigh at how easily the people of this era were satisfied.
However, at least he got off work early enough. It was much easier than working overtime in his previous life!
Thinking about how he would be able to celebrate his sister's birthday soon, Lin Yuan felt much happier.
Lin Yuan followed the people from the factory out of the factory. Silly Zhu from the canteen also carried a net bag and three lunch boxes back home.
…………………………………………
In the courtyard house, Yaoyao stared at the old hen at home for the entire afternoon. After she was tired, she went back to her room to take a nap.
But when she woke up, she saw that the old hen in her house was gone!
The rope tied to the chicken coop was still there, but the chicken was gone!
"Hey, where did it go?"
Yaoyao panicked and her big eyes were filled with tears.
Brother bought this for her birthday. It must have cost him a lot of money!
When Lin Yuan returned, he saw the anxious Yaoyao with a flustered expression.
"What's wrong, Yaoyao?"
"Wow, brother, our chicken is missing!”
Seeing Lin Yuan return, Yaoyao immediately threw herself into his embrace and started crying loudly.
