Chapter 23 The Commune Grain Station
Qin Yin listened to Wang Zhi's words, and his mind flashed with the appearance of watches, bicycles, and sewing machines. At a time when many people have not yet solved the problem of food and clothing, what kind of fashion and wealth should a family with these three things be! Qin Yin glanced at Wang Zhi attentively, the man in front of her liked it from the bottom of her heart, but if she agreed to marry now, it didn't seem to be the result she really wanted in her heart. The sound of the piano is so strong, what she really wants in her heart is what she has earned through hard work, not by others.
Wang Zhi found that Qin Yin was thinking about something in a daze, and didn't dare to say anything more.
The two young men did not speak, and were silent with each other.
Qin Yin calculated in her heart that if she saved up money to buy a bicycle and a sewing machine, it would cost nearly 300 yuan. Now the monthly subsidy of 13 yuan is more than two years, even if there is no expense, it will take more than two years to accumulate 300 yuan. Oh my God, I don't dare to think any further.
Wang Zhi thought in his heart, Qinyin's family is still very poor, relying on one acre and three points of land in a small mountain village, plus you are a part-time announcer, broadcasting twice a day, and a monthly subsidy of 13 yuan, food and clothing are all problems. His father works in a grain station and his mother works in a supply and marketing cooperative, earning nearly 70 yuan a month, and he can buy the "three major pieces" of watches, bicycles, and sewing machines that people dream of in half a year.
When Wang Zhi thought about this, he glanced at Qin Yin attentively, although the woman in front of him was a little tanned, but the bright eyes that seemed to be able to speak, as well as the handsome face, were all his beloved appearance, the lover of his dreams. The comparison of the strength of the two families made Wang Zhi suddenly feel full of confidence.
The noodles were finally served, and Wang Zhi subconsciously pushed one of the bowls in front of Qin Yin, signaling that it was time for her to eat the noodles. Qin Yin saw that the five-dime noodles were actually about the same as the noodles for his usual two-dime, but with more meat, and angrily pushed the noodles pushed by Wang Zhi back: "I don't eat it." ”
"I have a bowl too. Wang Zhi said, moving another bowl of noodles in front of him.
Qin Yin glanced at Wang Zhi: "I don't know how to save money!" As he spoke, he moved the noodles pushed by Wang Zhi back to him, bowed his head and ate it in a big gulp.
After eating the noodles, the two walked out of the noodle shop together. Qin Yin thought to herself: Two young men and women eating noodles together like this, does it count as falling in love?
When the noodle shop comes out, walk three to five hundred meters along the road, and there is a quiet courtyard. That was the commune's grain station.
Wang Zhi said, "Dad told me to go to the grain station at night to pick up some things and go home, you can go with me." ”
"It's getting dark, and I don't want to go." ”
Wang Zhi said, "Next to the grain station is my house, and there are many people there. Your Aunt Chen said that she met a friend in your village last time, and that friend was sick and urgently needed the medicine that your Aunt Chen helped buy. ”
Qin Yin thought, when did the people in the small mountain village think of buying medicine when they were sick? But when they heard Wang Zhi say that there were many people there, and Aunt Chen entrusted the urgently needed medicine, it was not easy to excuse him, and then he thought that Wang Zhi was a Sven person, not like a hooligan, so he also followed Wang Zhi.
After walking three or five hundred meters, the secluded courtyard appeared in front of me. There is also an electric light bulb on the lintel of the courtyard, which emits an orange light. Qin Yin thinks of the kerosene lamps in the small mountain village, and I can't help but say that the grain station of the commune is so magnificent. Wang Zhi just smiled.
Entering the courtyard, inside is a structure similar to a courtyard house, with houses on both sides and opposite. There is only one entrance and exit in the courtyard. Wang Zhi pointed to the big house opposite and said, "Inside is the place where the grain station stores grain." ”
Looking at the sound of the piano, there seemed to be piles of things stacked in an orderly manner under the light. Approaching, through the window glass, wow, the sacks were full and full, there were dozens of bags. Is that food?
"That's sack after sack of white rice. Wang Zhi said.
Qin Yin has never seen so much food, exclaiming: "This food is enough for the people of our village to eat for several years, right?"
Wang Zhi said, "These are all grains purchased by the commune, and part of it is handed over, part of it is relief rice, and part of it is rations distributed by the commune. ”
Qin Yin said, "You're quite familiar with the grain station." Wang Zhi replied, "I heard that the staff of the grain station have retired, and their adult son can take over, maybe I will take over in the future." ”
When he said this, Wang Zhi glanced at Qin Yin, looking forward to Qin Yin's envious eyes in his heart. But the sound of the piano is as if I didn't hear it, as if I didn't hear it.
Wang Zhi said again, "I heard that when the employees of the grain station retire, their adult sons can take over, and this year there will be one who will come to the grain station to take over." ”
The sound of the piano makes a soft "oh". Wang Zhi's sense of existence and accomplishment did not get the slightest satisfaction from Qinyin, but made him a little lost.
Coming out of the grain station, there is a small building with yellow walls next to the courtyard. Wang Zhi pointed to the second floor and said, "That's my house."
Qin Yin was hesitating, and Aunt Chen's voice came from the balcony on the second floor: "The children are finally back." Qin Yin looked over to the balcony, and Aunt Chen was waving to her.
Qin Yin followed Wang Zhi up the stairs, and walked a few short stairs from the ground on the first floor to the second floor in a few seconds. When he arrived at the door, Wang Zhi wanted to take Qinyin's hand, but it came too suddenly, Qinyin subconsciously retracted his hand and dodged it.
Aunt Chen opened the door with a smile on her face, and the moment Qin Yin stepped through the door, she exclaimed in amazement: "Wow, why is the night here like day?!" In Qin Yin's memory, the night was a dim kerosene lamp, and she suddenly felt the day-like light emitted by Wang Zhi's incandescent tube, and couldn't help but scream.
Wang Zhi's father and Aunt Chen were very enthusiastic, making tea and taking candy for Qinyin to eat.
Aunt Chen said, "This is a two-bedroom and one-living room unit building, and it is a house that can only be allocated and lived in by the employees of the commune grain station and the employees of state-owned commerce," said Qinyin. The hall, the house, the kitchen, the radio, the black and white television, the sewing machine, the electric fan and other equipment in the house.
Wow, Qin Yin couldn't believe it, and secretly thought, this family has long been not worried about food and clothing, right?
Aunt Chen also took out a few women's "really good" shirts and asked Qin Yin to try which one was suitable. While smiling, he said, "It's not expensive, it's not expensive, you can just like it." Qin Yin took one casually, and just wanted to go to the bathroom to try on clothes, but remembered that he had taught himself since he was a child, and no matter how poor he was, he couldn't just ask for other people's things, so he put it back to Aunt Chen.
Wang Zhi's father took the initiative to ask about the commune's radio station, and said with a sigh, "It is also very difficult to become a worker now, and since you are a part-time announcer of the radio station, you should do a good job." When the time comes, let's see if we can become a full-time employee or something. Of course, Qin Yin guessed in her heart that the so-called time is ripe, it should be after she marries Wang Zhi.
Aunt Chen and the royal father's warm conversation and reception made Qin Yin feel the warmth of her parents and the warmth of home. Qin Yin even thought stupidly, this family is so good, if you really want to marry in the future, you will marry it, how good it is. What higher requirements can a girl from a small mountain village have?
Thinking of this, Qin Yin glanced at Wang Zhi again. At that moment, Wang Zhi had already been taken into his heart by the sound of the qin. Kotone felt happiness that she had never felt before.
It wasn't too early, and Kotone said, I should go back. Aunt Chen and the royal father sent each other off with a smile.
When he went out, Qin Yin suddenly remembered something, walked out of the door, and turned to Aunt Chen.
