Section 1 Unexpected Gifts

In late April 1979, the southern breeding rice of the Hedong breeding team was basically mature, and the sickle was about to open, and it was busy everywhere.

The team site held a meeting of all team members, and stationmaster Cheng Houbo announced the decision to lead the research, and officially start harvesting and seed rice next Monday, requiring all personnel to make various preparations. On the one hand, it is necessary to prepare for the harvesting and transportation, which includes the organization and arrangement of local labor, harvesting, transportation, threshing, drying, bagging, packing, consignment, etc. On the one hand, everyone prepares their luggage, except for the items they carry, other things that need to be checked must be bagged and packed within this week, and the breeding team will handle the consignment procedures in a unified manner.

After the meeting, everyone began to prepare things, especially those who had not had time to procure, immediately started purchasing, and if they really couldn't procure, they either changed their plans or simply gave up.

"What else are you missing?" Wang Changsong asked Ma Linxi while sorting out the things he was going to take back, sweating profusely, and the ground and beds were full of things, like a small mountain.

"What's the hurry? There are still four or five days. Ma Linxi said, his eyes still on a "College Entrance Examination Review Reference Materials".

"Where will it be too late?" Wang Changsong wiped his sweat on his forehead with his arm.

"I'm talking about you so many things. Marlinthi closed the page and yawned.

"Where's Marinsi? I don't know who shouted.

"Who?" Ma Linxi turned his head and saw Hu Longbiao hurriedly stepping into the door from outside, holding a few sea stone flowers in his hands.

"Doctor Ke is looking for you. Hu Longbiao was a little out of breath.

"Doctor Ke?" Ma Linxi hurriedly stood up: "Where's she?"

"Outside. Hu Longbiao pouted.

Ma Linxi immediately ran to the door, looked around, and saw Ke Meiying standing under the coconut tree by the threshing floor, holding the bicycle, looking this way.

He ran in three steps and two steps.

"Why don't you go in. Malinsi said.

"Wow. It's a sugar ticket. Ke Meiying stuffed a note into Ma Linxi's hand: "What are you busy with, are you ready to leave?"

"It's early. Who knew they were in such a hurry, as if they were leaving tomorrow. Ma Linxi took the note and looked at it, a text message and a four-pound sugar supply ticket.

The letter was written in blue ink on the torn half-page of the exercise book. There are two sugar stamps, each two catties, which are mimeographed fingernail-sized paper stamps, stamped with the official seal of the brigade. Ma Linxi was very excited, and a warm current welled up in her heart, thinking to herself, she was so thoughtful, this has solved a big problem.

In this era of scarcity of consumer goods, everything must be supplied by ticket, and grain, cloth, kerosene, soy products, brown sugar, cigarettes, and white sugar are even more luxuries. Hainan Island is a well-known sugar-producing area and the country's leading sugarcane sugar export base.

However, in the sugar-producing base, white sugar is just as tight, and it still has to be supplied with sugar stamps, but the quantity is relatively large. The number of breeding teams in Hainan Island is relatively large, and everyone wants to bring back more scarce local products, and white cane sugar is the first choice. There are local regulations that each breeding team member can supply two catties of white cane sugar. What problems can be solved? If you want to give it away, you can only send it to a maximum of two people. As a result, their eyes fell on the local people. Local farmers, many of whom have their own land, grow sugarcane that is purchased by the sugar factory, which returns a certain amount of sugar. The production team that grows a lot of sugarcane has a lot of sugar stamps distributed to the members, and they must not be able to eat it, and often waste the sugar stamp plan. They knew the news, and after getting in touch with the fellows who were usually more familiar, they also got some sugar tickets, but not as many as they expected, and they also thought about finding a few more familiar liaison officers to order sugar tickets, but although there were many people who spoke, there were not many people who could get them, so they didn't look for anyone else. Who would have thought that Ke Meiying would take the initiative to send it over.

"Thank you!" said Marlinsi, busy reading what was written in the letter.

"Let's go back and see again!" Ke Meiying stretched out her hand to block his vision and smiled mysteriously.

"Okay. Yes. Marlinsi hurriedly put the note carefully into his shirt pocket, and pressed it with his hand on the outside of the pocket, as if he was afraid that it would fly.

"How's the revision?" asked Ke Meiying, pushing her bicycle and walking out of the village.

"I don't have time to read. I don't have much time to spare during the day, so busy with this, and at night the dormitory is so noisy, and when everyone is resting, I am sleepy myself!"

"Which one are you looking at now?" she asked.

"Geography. He replied.

"How many have you finished?"

"Three doors. "Even geography, the other two subjects are mathematics and chemistry. What about you?"

"I'm just starting to look at math. ”

"I didn't have a review outline, and I didn't have a focus, and I wanted to give up. ”

"Give it a try. Why don't you have any confidence in yourself?"

"It's not that there is no confidence. I have no free time, and the time is so tight, I have the exam in two months, and I have lost so many years. ”

"What does it matter. ”

"That being said, you have to read a few books carefully from beginning to end. ”

"Hmm. Yes, too. ”

"Oh, by the way, I have a review outline here. ”

"Where did you come from? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"What's the hurry? I only got it in the morning. ”

"Morning?"

"yes. It was published in our Nanfang Daily. ”

"Oh. Newspapers?"

"It's just for us in Guangdong. I don't know if it applies to you?"

"Where, lend it to me?"

"In the office. I'm looking for you about this. ”

Ma Linxi and Ke Meiying chatted about the college entrance examination review, chatting and walking.

She pushed her bicycle and before she knew it, she was in the outpatient room. She carried the bike to the hallway, propped it up, and pulled out the key to open the door.

"The newspaper that just arrived yesterday. Ke Meiying took out a neatly folded newspaper from the desk drawer and handed it to Ma Linxi.

"Yo. That's a lot. Marlinsi unfolded the newspaper in surprise.

"What are you doing standing. Sit down. ”

"It's okay, it's not tired. ”

"Wow. Ke Meiying filled her teacup with water, placed it on the table, and gently pushed it in front of Ma Linxi.

"Have you seen it all?" asked Marinthi.

"Where's the time? ”

"I'll see. How many courses?"

"Language, Politics, History, Geography, Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics. ”

"There's history too, huh?"

"Over here. Ke Meiying gently squeezed the newspaper in Ma Linxi's hand, opened another page, pointed and said, "Oh, it's with geography." ”

"Oh. In the end. Marlinthi turned her head. Because she was standing to his left, and bent down to read the newspaper on the table with him, because it was so close, he could already feel the smell of her snort and the smell of her body mixed with sweat......

"Do you see? History and geography go hand in hand. Ke Meiying said.

……

"Ring, ring, ring. "There was a crisp bicycle chime outside the door. A middle-aged woman's voice floated into the room: "Meiying?"
