Chapter 3 The eldest young master in the county
"Why, you haven't adapted yet? After two years of high school, you became the eldest young master in the county?"
Shen Daliang touched Shen Tiejun with his arm, took out half of the nest head from his pocket, and stuffed it into his hand: "Now you know what it's like to be hungry, right?"
Shen Tiejun knew that Shen Daliang was despising him, but he just pulled the cart all morning, not to mention the shoulder pain, sore back and trembling hands, or even the five internal organs temple rebelled, and the little thing he ate in the morning was already digested cleanly, and his heart was close to his back when he was hungry, and his eyes were black.
Shen Daliang drank the water in the tea bowl, poured out the turbid sand at the bottom of the bowl, and found that Xiao Wu looked at Wowotou and didn't speak, and said, "If my mother hadn't stopped me with her eyes in the morning, I would have wanted to beat you." ”
was about to endure the discomfort of pulling his throat and put the sweaty head into his mouth, Shen Tiejun was stunned: "Why?"
"Why?!"
Shen Daliang's eyes flashed with disdain, at this time it was the rest during the work period, looking at the energetic young people in the distance, he said: "Xiaoliu asked our father to eat, it is natural, even if my father is hungry for a day, he will not complain about anything in his heart." However, you're different, you're the fifth, and I haven't even opened my mouth, so why is it your turn to come out? What do you think of me, the eldest brother?"
The dark eyes shrank, Shen Tiejun looked at the nest head in his hand, hunger still defeated nausea, broke a piece and stuffed it into his mouth, and ate it quickly: "Eldest brother is like a father!"
"That's right!"
Shen Daliang smiled on his dark face, poured a bowl of water with a pot, put it in front of Shen Tiejun, clasped his nostrils and said, "I just let you experience the feeling of starvation, eat quickly!"
Seeing that Shen Daliang rubbed the boogers out of his fingertips into a ball and flew away, Shen Tiejun glanced at the rest of the nest head in his hand, and the corners of his mouth twitched into his mouth, I don't know if it was a psychological effect or something at work, I felt a smell of boogers.
In the third autumn, it is the most difficult time of the year in the countryside, compared with the annual ration of 580 catties per person for these educated youths, Shen Tiejun has to work until 12 minutes a day to get the full ration.
The memory of this time in my previous life has been forgotten, early in the morning with Shen Daliang pulling a cart to transport soil, Shen Tiejun almost didn't toss the skeleton away, but fortunately, when he was working, time passed relatively quickly.
Seeing that the time was almost up, the people of the three teams began to disperse slowly, and Shen Tiejun naturally followed Shen Daliang to finish the work, and found that his eyes fell on the team of educated youths in the distance from time to time, and his heart moved: "Big brother, I thought about what the branch secretary said in the morning, do you say that the college entrance examination will be reopened?"
"Can't you open it?"
Shen Daliang turned into a question sentence as he spoke, turned his head and sighed: "I said why are you silent all morning, you were thinking about this? ”
"Big brother, do you think that if the college entrance examination is resumed, it will still be a recommendation system?"
Shen Tiejun touched his nose, looked at the group of educated youths who were muttering together, tilted his head and said: "I see that the educated youths are talking about studying all morning, and I just think that the college entrance examination is not true. ”
"Oh, you're stupid first-"
Shen Daliang said and glanced at the smiling girl in the distance, remembering that this younger brother had finished high school, he turned his head and looked at Shen Tiejun in a daze, scratched his furry chin, and said, "What do you want to say?"
"I also want to review it, but when I come back, the textbooks have been given to the junior ones, can you help me find the educated youths to borrow? I heard them say that Chen Xiaoyun's family is in the provincial capital, and they should be able to find a complete set of materials. ”
In the morning, Shen Tiejun saw a lot of familiar and unfamiliar faces, this Chen Xiaoyun is one of them, after the resumption of the college entrance examination, he didn't take two exams in a row.
Chen Xiaoyun's cousin, that is, her grandfather's cousin, followed her husband to Baodao before liberation, and it is said that it was a mixed wind and water, although her grandfather died in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, there are still things to fight and protect in the movement, in short, it was not beaten into the black five categories, but there is such a relationship, the file is naturally a little colored, until the third college entrance examination, the above set aside the documents anyway, and then was admitted to the teacher college in the next province.
Thinking of what happened to his eldest brother in the future, Shen Tiejun had a strange thought, anyway, Chen Xiaoyun couldn't pass the exam for two years, and he took the second sister and the third sister, which were all excuses for giving the eldest brother a chance.
Shen Daliang shaved off the big bald head of the old Shen family, that is, the invincible single eyelid of the old Shen family was destroying the image of thick eyebrows and big eyes, and looked at Shen Tiejun who had changed into a human in a daze, and found that the educated youths next to him were scattered in groups, and hurriedly said: "Chen Xiaoyun~"
"Xiaoyun, that person called you. ”
Carrying a hoe and wiping sweat, Chen Xiaoyun was stopped by Liu Li behind him, turned his head to look at the "labor prisoners" who had seen it, handed Liu Li a warning look, and said, "Brother Shen, you called me?"
"Huh?"
The cordial and peaceful salutation came into his ears, and Shen Daliang's heartbeat accelerated inexplicably: "No, yes, I'm looking for you for something, it's my younger brother Xiaosi, oh, Shen Tiejun, he wants to participate in the review, no, it's he who also wants to... It's still not right, well, after he heard the news that the college entrance examination was going to be resumed, he wanted to borrow two review books from you. Well, yes, that's what it means. ”
On the side, looking at his nervous words, Liu Li couldn't help laughing: "Poof..."
Looking at the good sisters coldly, Chen Xiaoyun stroked the drooping hair beside her ears, and glanced at Shen Tiejun in the distance, it has been almost two years since she came down from the city, she has naturally heard of this family of seven brothers and sisters, but it only stops there: "Little four, is he a high school graduate?"
Being laughed at a little unbearable, Shen Daliang was feeling that his face was hot, his hands were not knowing where to put them, and he hurriedly waved after hearing the words: "No, no, he graduated from high school, and he graduated this year, that is, when he graduated, he gave the textbook to the junior students, I didn't hear that it was possible to resume the college entrance examination, so I wanted to borrow it from you, I know that your home is in the provincial capital, and I know many people." ”
Even with the explanation in his ears, Chen Xiaoyun withdrew his gaze at Shen Tiejun and nodded: "Brother Shen, I may not be able to borrow the information..."
Chen Xiaoyun's sincere cheeks seemed to be shining, and Shen Daliang's face was full of surprise: "Understand, you have also graduated for two years, you will definitely have to spend time looking for it..."
"Brother Shen, you inquired very clearly!"
Liu Li didn't finish speaking with a strange expression, she was grabbed and pulled away by Chen Xiaoyun, and watched the backs of the two leave, Shen Daliang, who came back to his senses, was a little annoyed: "How can you say that you have gone away?!"
A loudspeaker rang out, and the loudspeaker at the head of the village sounded: "Dear members and intellectuals, what is now broadcasting is the newspaper published in the province yesterday, and the provincial party committee held a meeting to expose and criticize the "four gangs" and smash the bourgeois gang system..."
Shen Daliang breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably, saw Shen Tiejun appear next to him, and turned around and said, "Did she agree?"
"I didn't refuse, I just agreed. ”
Shen Tiejun subconsciously picked it up, and didn't want to hear Shen Daliang muttering: "I remember that she is older than me, why do you call me big brother?"
"People are polite to you!"
The corners of his mouth twitched, Shen Tiejun didn't dare to continue for fear of being beaten, seeing that the sun in the sky was still early, he hurriedly woke up Shen Daliang, who was full of aftertaste: "Brother, are we still going to the self-reserved land?"
"Ahh
Shen Daliang was like eating an elixir, wiping the sweat on his face with his coat, and his steps drifted away briskly, Shen Tiejun shook his head and hurriedly followed.
There are few people and more land in Shenjiawa Village, so each family has a lot of self-reserved land, and some villages with small cultivated land do not have this welfare, and no one dares to grow radishes, beans, and green vegetables, but no one dares to grow grains and grains, for fear of being labeled as cutting the tail of capitalism.
Shen Tiejun's own land is in the west of the village, and the fertilizer at this time is a luxury, except for the land on the team, it cannot be used for other places, and then Shen Daliang was busy working in the field, and the knowledge above his head squeaked, and a thought flashed in Shen Tiejun's mind, as if he remembered something, and couldn't help but look at it a few more times.
"What, tired again?"
Shen Daliang wiped the sweat from his face, straightened up and saw Shen Tiejun standing in a daze, then looked at the sun walking in the sky, and nodded: "Well, then take a break." ”
"No, big brother, do you say that this monkey can eat it?" Shen Tiejun swallowed his saliva, when he heard the cry of knowing when he was working before, he had a vague thought in his mind, until he was hungry now, he woke up, this thing can be eaten.
"Eat, eat that?"
Shen Daliang was a little confused, and looked like he had seen a ghost: "Can that thing be eaten?"
Zhou Province, where Shenjiawa Village is located, is at the junction of the north and the south, and has never had the habit of eating this thing, Shen Tie's heart was hot and spittle, Shen Qiang's guy also bought it from the Internet to eat, saying that it was dozens of yuan a pound more expensive than beef and mutton, and after eating it a few times, it felt like that, and I felt a lot more saliva in my mouth: "I feel that I can eat it, grasshoppers can eat it, this thing should be the same as grasshoppers, right?"
Shen Daliang blinked, working in the field a few days ago, Weixing and his classmates, after catching grasshoppers, roasted and ate them with fire, thinking so, the surprise on his face turned into suspicion, and he looked at the trees in the distance and said: "The wings of this thing are much bigger than grasshoppers." ”
Smiling slightly, Shen Tiejun knew that this could be done: "I'm talking about knowing before molting, the kind without wings." ”
