After two meals, Zheng Jianguo couldn't see the slightest clue from Zheng Fugui and Du Xiaomei's faces, only when he had dinner at four o'clock in the afternoon, his father took two more nests and put them in front of him: "Eat more, it's good to fight hunger at night——"

In the era of scarcity of materials, the members only ate two meals a day, at half past nine in the morning and half past four in the afternoon, and the rest of the time was the time of the winter conference, and they all got up at four or five o'clock in the morning, drank some hot water and hot soup and set off, worked until nine o'clock in the morning to finish the team to eat, and then worked until half past four in the afternoon to eat, and then worked until seven or eight o'clock in the night, and then closed the team to sleep.

According to the standard in Zheng Jianguo's memory, the conditions of the Zheng family can be classified as a poor household, although the six people in the family except him can already earn work, but the four sisters and the old lady Du Xiaomei are all women, and the daily work is to be distinguished according to the number of workers and labor, men are ten points, women are six points, and children are two points.

Five women can't get four men's work, and as a barefoot doctor, they don't have money to take it, and the scorekeeper records it according to the work points, and only collects one cent and three points when the medicine is used, plus Zheng Fugui has always received money when he gives it, and if he doesn't give it, he keeps an account, and sometimes even pays out of his own pocket to make up for the money for medicine, and the small life of a family of six is tight.

That is, the Kansai Commune belongs to the Hongqi Commune of Shanxian County, and there are more sidelines of each brigade, and there are farms and processing factories and even a machine repair factory in the Sanlipu Brigade, and there are 100 pigs in the farm alone, and the task of removing a pig per household every year, can also have a surplus of more than a dozen to spend a fat year.

Not to mention that compared to the brigades in those backward areas, even in the Shanxian area, it can be regarded as an upper-middle level, such a brigade is naturally registered in the heart of Secretary Qu of the commune, so after hearing that Guo Binghe was going to give the educated youth and members a holiday, he personally ran away.

When the hearts of the people are scattered, the team will not be able to take it.

Zheng Jianguo was woken up by Zheng Fugui, and there was no alarm clock when the black light was blind, so he rubbed his eyelids and was stunned in a daze, only to see his father in the night: "What time is it?"

"Doodoooooo

The piercing wake-up call came, Zheng Jianguo's confusion disappeared completely, and he quickly understood that this was the snow outside that had stopped, according to the instructions of Secretary Qu during the day, the members should go to the team headquarters to gather to prepare for work, and then contact the information they heard, it should be less than two o'clock now: "You are going to work?"

"Well, we're going to work. ”

As a barefoot doctor, Zheng Fugui is naturally one of the countless members of the club, he can only go to the clinic when he is free, and he has to go to work when he is busy, but this is not the reason why he woke up Zheng Jianguo: "I thought about it, since you said that you plan to stop studying, it is better to start working with us from now on, right?"

"Is this—early experience?"

Facing Zheng Fugui's face hidden in the night, Zheng Jianguo flashed such a thought in his mind, it seems that the father and mother plan to use this to be Ma Wei, so that he can go to school honestly after suffering a little, and immediately blinked and said, "Go to Yanghe Reservoir?"

"Well, the Yanghe Reservoir is the one twenty miles away, let's finish gathering at the brigade headquarters, and we still need to go over to eat according to the rapid march, and then work. ”

As if to express the hardships of going to work, Zheng Fugui explained the way to go, and especially emphasized that he couldn't eat now, and he had to wait until the ground to start eating, and work while it was hot: "Are you going?"

"Okay, I'll go!"

After Zheng Jianguo finished speaking, he turned over and got out of the quilt, found his clothes and began to put them on his body, Zheng Fugui who was standing in the dark next to him couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded, obviously he couldn't understand that his son, who was afraid of the cold these days, didn't even say anything about the cold at this time, so he directly began to get dressed and prepare to go to work, but the previous words were finished, and when he thought of this, he opened his mouth and said: "Or-"

"Let him go! If you dare to say you're tired, you'll beat him. ”

Du Xiaomei's hateful voice came, Zheng Fugui swallowed back the words behind, turned around and hooked his head to lift the curtain, and saw a pair of big dark eyes looking at him inquiringly, and his chin was raised behind him, and then his eyes glared again, as if Zheng Fugui, who had received the code, hurriedly turned his head to look, and saw that Zheng Jianguo had finished dressing and was putting cotton shoes on his feet, and couldn't help but turn around and shake his head, his face was full of depression: "Prepare to go! If you don't go, it's time to take the roll call——"

"Then you look at him. ”

Du Xiaomei gasped twice, looked at Zheng Fugui and stuffed the burden next to him into his hand: "I have prepared more nests for you two, you let him eat more." ”

"I don't know what to do!"

Muttering and scolding, Zheng Fugui put the burden on his shoulder, and before he turned his head, he saw Zheng Jianguo next to him walking out from behind the curtain: "Dad, let's go?"

"Let's go, let's go, you go and drink that hot tea. ”

Glancing at the goods, the nose is not the nose, the eye is not the eye, and he shook his face to Zheng Jianguo, Zheng Fugui turned to the door and continued: "Hurry up, if you don't leave, it's time to call the big horn." ”

Tons and tons of dry a bowl of hot tea into his stomach, Zheng Jianguo wiped his mouth and wrapped it around his neck, but as Zheng Fugui opened the door of the house, the cold wind on his face still made him shiver, only to see the miserable white moon shining on the thick snow, looking brighter than the kerosene lamp in the house.

With a squeak and a foot on the snow, Zheng Fugui turned his head to look at the door of the house wide open next to him, Zheng Chunhua walked out with her three younger sisters, and saw that her back was empty, so she opened her mouth and said: "Go and bring the medicine box and let the grasshopper carry it." ”

"Daddy, it's freezing this day, grasshopper—"

Zheng Chunhua didn't know what the two of them were messing with, except for the summer harvest and autumn when they were busy, she hadn't seen her little brother get up so early, and she didn't want to know what she was thinking, Zheng Jianguo said: "Eldest sister, you go and bring it to me on my back, seeing that this is about to graduate, it can be regarded as entering the state of membership in advance, so as to reduce the burden on the family, and Da Gazi can earn ten points." ”

"Is there a shortage of your work at home?"

Du Xiaomei blurted out after speaking, then glanced at Zheng Fugui and turned around and walked out, Zheng Xiahua saw this posture, and couldn't help but gently push Zheng Chunhua, the latter quickly turned around and entered the kitchen, carried the medicine box to Zheng Jianguo's side, picked up the shoulder belt and carried it on his back, stared at him with a pair of big eyes and said, "Did you make our mother angry?"

"Hmm. ”

Zheng Jianguo responded, feeling that the medical box on his body was not heavy, Zheng Fugui on the side looked at him carrying the medical box on his back, and it seemed to be the same, and immediately said: "Then let's go, when I get to the team headquarters, I'll see if I let Chunhua stay or let Gu Li stay." ”

"It should be for me to stay, Gu Li wants to be motivated now, didn't Secretary Qu say that he would come over too?"

Zheng Chunhua didn't know what was going on between the father and son, but the old lady's tone was extremely unkind, so she deliberately diverted the topic: "I heard that she wants to apply for the medical clerk recruited by the Mining Bureau this time." ”

"Guli seems to be just a high school student?"

Zheng Jianguo blinked and asked, the meaning of his question was naturally very clear, he just told his father yesterday that he didn't want to go to the health school after graduating from high school but looked for an opportunity to take the job exam, and now the eldest sister talked about this topic as if she knew, so she went on: "It seems that the medical staff are all doctors, right?"

"She's been a barefoot doctor for three years. ”

Zheng Chunhua said and looked at the father in front of her, inexplicably feeling a little bit of a sign of burning, Gu Li likes to play with her when she comes, and occasionally let her go if there are women who need to be diagnosed and treated, but after playing for three years, people have also become barefoot doctors, so the Sanlipu brigade has become the brigade with the most barefoot doctors in the whole commune, Zheng Fugui and her and Gu Li, this is still on the surface, and fortunately, the barefoot doctor also has to eat work, so he didn't cause more gossip, but seeing that he has cultivated an opponent for himself, it is unrealistic to say that she has no pimples in her heart。

"Well, when the time comes, let the commune come up with a certificate, which is a plus, and it's still a woman-"

Out of the house and looking at the longing figure in the distance, Zheng Jianguo, who was following Du Xiaomei and Zheng Fugui, nodded and said, only then did he suddenly remember that there was no gynecological disease at this time, that is, in the Shanxian People's Hospital in the county, I am afraid that it is only a separate department to sit for diagnosis, as for the smaller Chengguan Hospital, it is a large department, and all departments are mixed in a large office.

"But how old is that Guli? He graduated from high school five years ago—"

Du Xiaomei's voice came, and the person also stopped, looked at Zheng Chunhua, who seemed to be frightened next to her, and said, "Dani, how old was Guli when she graduated from high school?"

"She's 22 years old, and she was 17 five years ago?"

Gu Dong swallowed his saliva and didn't know what was going on, Zheng Chunhua said carefully, and then saw Du Xiaomei turn her head and look at Zheng Jianguo and said: "You are only 15 this year, I didn't want you to go to school so early, just because you were young and you would be bullied by other classmates, now it seems that my thoughts at the time were still right, you are only 16 years old at the end of this year, and you haven't grown up yet, you want to go to work?"

Du Xiaomei is a woman with no culture, but she also knows that when she is fifteen or sixteen years old, she can only be regarded as a big child, and when she heard the tone of the old lady, Zheng Jianguo, who was originally full of rhetoric, was also deflated, which he couldn't use rhetoric to shirk, he went to school at the age of six, five years of primary school, two years of junior high school, two years of high school, and was about to graduate from high school at the age of fifteen, and he couldn't say what he really thought, so he could only speak: " We also study in school for half a day and half a day in class, and there are teachers who teach us how to turn over the soil and fertilize the land. ”
