Chapter 6 No one's growth is smooth sailing
With Su Fang's marriage, the Su family's courtyard was suddenly much deserted, and Su Qing's little couple rarely came to the front room, to be precise, if the eldest sister hadn't done something delicious to call them, the new daughter-in-law would have been able to open another door on the wall of the backyard.
At dinner, the family of three seemed to have their own thoughts, and they didn't say much, in Su Hua's eyes, Su Feng, who was about to study in the fifth grade, was not worry-free, and recently she always pestered herself to think about not studying, and even skipped a few classes in order to play.
After eating, he was playing around in the yard like a tomboy, just not doing his homework...... Seeing Su Feng playing in his own garden, Su Hua was a little angry, the conditions at home were so poor before, and he was desperately trying to provide his younger siblings with education, but now that the conditions are better, why don't you know how to cherish it,
"Su Feng, hurry back to the house to do your homework, or don't come back and cry tomorrow when the teacher asks you to stand on punishment", hearing the eldest sister's angry shout, although Su Feng immediately ran out of the small garden, he didn't go to do his homework, but took out the cigarette basket that his father usually used, and began to roll the cigarette paper inside, Su Hua was so angry that she turned her head and stopped looking at her, the air was a little embarrassed, and she begged the eldest sister with a sigh
"Eldest sister, can I stop reading, I just need to sit in the classroom now, my headache is like it's going to crack, I'm really not the material for studying", Su Hua was even more angry when she heard her sister's uncompetitive words, and she pouted and got up from the small stool and asked
"Maple girl, from childhood to adulthood, my sister depends on you for everything, and everything looks like you, my eldest sister doesn't ask you what you can do in the future, but do we have to be literate, do we have to be a little promising",
"I'm literate!" Su Feng whispered,
"You're satisfied, how old are you, you only know a few words, and everyone is going to college soon, don't you still read?
"He can't go to college, and he won't let them take the university entrance examination", Su Hua was very surprised by her sister's words, and squatted down to look at Su Feng
"Don't talk nonsense, who did you listen to, how do you know that Brother Zhongliang can't be admitted to college", Su Feng was a little afraid of the eldest sister who was staring at her, but she still answered truthfully
"When my father was talking to Uncle Wang, I heard that Uncle Wang also said that there would be many students working on the team in a few days, saying that it was called 'opening the world and daring to be a pioneer'."
Su Hua no longer questioned her sister, she was a little distracted, did Wang Zhongliang know the bad news, why didn't he mention a word every time he came back from the county seat?
Maybe he doesn't know yet? It can't be, Uncle Wang must have told him, and he hasn't slept all night...... After breakfast, Su Feng reluctantly went out with his schoolbag, Su Hua hastily cleaned up the kitchen, and was about to rush to work in the field with Father Su, but before he could go out, he heard the village horn shouting
"Hey, hey, hey, please send at least two people from each family to the old well at the entrance of the village at half past six to greet our new comrades...... "Su Hua looked at Daddy Su
"Dad, who are you going to greet?", Daddy Su thought for a while and didn't answer, just said
"You'll know if you go", there are almost a hundred people gathered at the entrance of the village, everyone is looking at each other, thinking about what kind of people to greet, the rumble of the tractor in the distance seems to remind people,
"The protagonist is here", there are 4 people sitting on it, I can't see their faces clearly, but I can vaguely see that they seem to have a big red flower tied to their chests, Uncle Wang stands at the front of the team as the captain, holding 2 crumpled pages of paper in one hand and an iron shouting microphone in the other.
The rumble was getting closer and closer, Su Hua saw the appearance of 4 people clearly, one of them was Wang Zhongliang who worried her last night, after the car stopped, 4 people jumped down one after another and stood directly in place, Uncle Wang rushed up a little excitedly, shook hands with them respectively, some of the 4 people bared their teeth and couldn't hide the joy in their hearts, some people shy lowered their heads like a quiet little girl, and some people were cowardly and afraid of life, but Wang Zhongliang just looked into the distance in a daze, his eyes were not focused, there was no content, just looking at ...... A little distracted, Su Hua looked a little distressed, is this still the boy who went out from here a few years ago, the appearance of this person in front of her has not changed except for being more mature and taller, but it gives her a different feeling, the boy whose eyes were once full of stars is so lost at the moment, as if he can't hear the speeches and applause around him at all, Su Hua wants to say something to him, but the public is wide, and there are so many people, what to say?
She didn't know either. Later, she learned that Wang Zhongliang's graduates were not admitted to the university, to be precise, the school did not let them participate in the examination at all, but let them go to the countryside to accept the re-education of the poor middle peasants, some students with high ideological consciousness have taken the initiative to apply to the more remote and barren Xinjiang and other places, and those who stay either do not want to be too far away from home, or still have illusions about the university entrance examination, Wang Zhongliang is the latter, for these students who stay in school, the school will take the initiative to help them contact the production team in the surrounding villages, so as to respond to the call from above, and devote themselves to the tide of serving the motherland as soon as possible。
The laughing Ma Dalin was assigned to Su Hua's group, in his words
"I want to feed high-quality pigs with knowledge", several kind sisters-in-law couldn't help but laugh
"We don't need to learn knowledge to feed these pigs, we just need to feed them to grow fat", Ma Dalin scratched his head with a smile
"Then what I have is strength, I can cut more pigweed!", the other two Xu Chunxue and Han Zhanzhan were assigned to the farm tools group and the accounting group respectively, and Uncle Wang was a little unbearable for Wang Zhongliang to do farm work, so he was assigned to the propaganda group.
Because Ma Dalin is a foreigner, can not go home every day, so can only temporarily live in Uncle Wang's house, Xu Chunxue, Han Zhanzhan although not from the village but fortunately home is not far away, every day after the end of work after a 40-minute walk to home, so there is no need to spend the night.
In the past few years, the eldest of Aunt Wang's family, the third and fourth have married and married one after another, and one of the three grass houses has just been vacated
"These two intellectuals" live, in the eyes of Uncle Wang, Wang Zhongliang is not only his son, but now it is an organizational task, so he must do it well
"Reception". The time in the laughter flies very fast, the new Ma Dalin is simply a boy who grows on the laughter, not only sweet, but also willing to work, at the end of the day, these sisters-in-law laughed constantly, he didn't know how to return to the residence when he first arrived, this small task naturally fell on Su Hua, who lived next door to his house, and the two of them cut the rest of the pig food and were ready to call it a day, Ma Dalin patted Su Hua's shoulder familiarly
"Comrade Su Hua, we are now comrades-in-arms and neighbors, in the future, you teach me to work, and I will send you home", Su Hua was also amused by the optimistic big boy in front of her
"You still call me Dahua like them, or I always feel like I'm going to fight, what do I teach you, how to feed yourself when you're hungry, just feed them!" Hahaha, the two of them smiled and walked home, not far from home, Su Hua seemed to remember something, she embarrassedly pointed to the low grass house a few hundred meters away
"Dalin, that's my home, the east courtyard of my house is where you live, I won't go back in advance", Ma Dalin didn't jump out of the joy yet, and responded
"Then be careful, I'll visit my new home first." Looking at Ma Dalin who was walking away, Su Hua immediately walked in the opposite direction, she knew that there was someone who might not go home at this time, the house of the brigade was empty, let alone the lights, it was a bit scary in the dark, Su Hua didn't give up, and walked straight to the propaganda room in the back row, it was also pitch black, but the door was not locked.
Su Hua gently pushed open the door and shouted
"Wang Zhongliang?", Wang Zhongliang was obviously taken aback by Su Hua, he immediately stuffed a notebook into his schoolbag, and only dared to breathe a sigh of relief after seeing that it was Su Hua, Su Hua looked at Wang Zhongliang, who was a little frightened, and asked suspiciously
"The lights don't turn on, what are you looking at?", Wang Zhongliang didn't answer but asked in reverse
"It's so late, you haven't gone home yet, so who will cook for Uncle Su and Feng Yatou?", Su Hua saw that he didn't answer and stopped asking,
"Then why don't you hurry up and go home with me, what kind of foreign work are you grinding here!", Wang Zhongliang sighed, he understood that Su Hua was not complaining about him, what he needed now was not comfort, but to face reality, he was very grateful to Su Hua, she was the one who was willing to drag him......
