The Year (6)

When it rained, the water in the big river rose and filled the small river, and even the ditch at the head of the village was full of water.

The grass nests are not deep, half a meter up to the sky.

One by one, they pulled up their trouser legs. This made Lin Yutong a little unaccustomed. I had to look for it in the ditch on the edge.

"Master, I'll help you. A simple girl on the side, wearing a floral gown and black pants, smiled at Lin Yutong.

Lin Yutong was stunned, "You are that Li ......"

"My name is Li Guofang. The girl rolled up her trouser legs and took two steps inside.

"Just call me Yutong. When you are free, you will go and I will teach you. Sensei is so polite. Lin Yutong hurriedly responded with a smile. Don't underestimate the production captain, arrange people to work every day, which has to be weighed by others.

"Hello!" Li Guofang responded shyly. Uncle Wu can say, this little master has great medical skills. Even if you learn to cure a cold and stomach ache, you can be a hygienist. You don't have to work in the fields, and you can earn a lot of work. Just like my eldest brother said, it is not impossible to find a relationship and go to work in a big hospital in the county. When I arrived at the county seat, I was from the city. A lifetime of commercial food. You can't be careful. Seeing that people don't have a fight, she has to be more and more respectful.

This grassy beach is not small, but no one is fighting for it.

In front of those female intellectuals, several local boys surrounded them, saying that they were helping, but in fact they were courteous.

Lin Yutong put a bunch of long fish on a string with vines and put it aside, and then scooped up the small fish that no one wanted with a special gourd, grate out the water, and slowly fished out two pots, and planned to send them back.

Li Guofang helped Lin Yutong bring a basin, and when he got together, he was stunned.

Lin Yutong followed Li Guofang's line of sight, it turned out that Ge Hongbing and Tang Tang were fishing in a puddle, and the two were teasing each other, and they looked like a young couple.

She glanced at Li Guofang again, this girl's eyes were too obvious. At first glance, you can tell that she is interesting to Ge Hongbing.

The other side seemed to notice the sight here, and Ge Hongbing and Tang Tang both looked this way.

Lin Yutong didn't avoid them, and smiled calmly, "Do you have a lot of fish over there? Only grilled dried fish. ”

Ge Hongbing didn't notice anything unusual, he laughed: "Why don't you see that kid Yin Zhen." Don't go into the depths alone. ”

Lin Yutong answered, but didn't say where the fourth master went.

Carrying two pots of fish back to the yard, Professor Cheng's wife, Mr. Feng, was sweeping the yard. Lin Yutong said without seeing: "Aunt Feng, give me a hand and deal with this little fish." I'll go get some more. Let's dry it at night, put it away, and put it in next spring. ”

This teacher Feng is old, but he is clean and tidy, and his hair is meticulously combed. She had already heard Lao Cheng say it just now, and she knew that the children living in this courtyard didn't seem to be repulsive to them. So, she wasn't surprised. Pointed to a stone trough in the yard that was not used. This is supposed to be forage for the horses. Now there are not so many horses, so there is one free. It's been washed. "Pour it in. I'll be able to clean it up in a moment. "Just cut your belly open with scissors and clean up the dirt. No hassle. It's just that young people don't have such patience.

Lin Yutong saw that people didn't have a cold face, so he responded with a smile, poured it in and immediately rushed back with an empty basin.

Li Guofang's hands are not slow, but his mood is not high. The young girl has a crush on something, and her heart is quite bitter.

After a busy day's work, Mr. Feng sorted out two buckets of fish.

When the fourth master came back, Lin Yutong was setting up a big firewood in the pot, and the kang was a small fish. The room was full of fishy smells.

"Oops! You're so good at tossing. The fourth master frowned, he would rather not eat than bother with this.

What can Lin Yutong do? If you can't open a small stove, you can't eat boiled vegetables all at once.

"Go inside and wash it, and you'll be fine for a while. Lin Yutong looked at the dried fish in the basket, thinking that if this was steamed with chili ham and a bowl, it would also serve very well.

After the fourth master washed up, Lin Yutong put all the rice into the pot and steamed a bowl of fish on it. A bowl of eggs was copied from the back pot.

He divided half of the dried fish into pieces, "Why don't you send it to the front room." People are helping today. ”

The fourth master also wanted to talk to others, so he took it and went.

After Lin Yutong put all the food on the table, the fourth master came back.

White rice, steamed small fish, scrambled eggs. There is also a nori soup.

"None of the state-run restaurants have such dishes. The fourth master said while eating.

"Have you eaten at the state-run restaurant today?" Lin Yutong asked.

"In addition to state-run restaurants, where are there restaurants?" said the fourth master with a smile: "There are only steamed buns with three noodles, and there are noodles and noodles to eat." Stir-fried greens are sold. Without meat dishes, meat is simply not available. said that today their restaurant divided a pig's trotter and a pig's tail, and they were bought by the leader. ”

"Then what did you eat last?" Lin Yutong put the eggs into the fourth master's bowl and asked.

"One bowl of noodles per person. The fourth master sighed, "That's it, Wu Chunlai also said that this is the first time he has eaten fine grains in two years." ”

"Now the melons and vegetables are abundant, and when it comes to winter, the days will be even more difficult. Lin Yutong sighed, "In two days, I will be able to go down in this field, and it will not be so muddy." It is estimated that the corn, sorghum, and soybeans will have to be harvested. Did you find the parts?"

"Found it. The fourth master said in a low voice: "The closest to us is the third regiment and five companies." I have already said that I will get them some oil and fine grains, and exchange some national food stamps with them. ”

"The main thing is food stamps, and food stamps are better than money. Lin Yutong breathed a sigh of relief. The two of them are not short of food, but if they want to do something else, it is inconvenient. There has to be hard currency in circulation. "What do you say to people, don't show your stuffing?"

"Don't worry about that. When did you miss it? The fourth master pushed the bowl. Today's bowl of somen noodles doesn't have the taste of noodles at all. When did you feel that eating a big bowl of rice became a pleasure?

Early the next morning, the bell rang on the big tree at the entrance of the village. It's time to go to work.

The fourth master went to the yard of the team headquarters to repair the car, and Lin Yutong rushed to the entrance of the village. Then find a group of educated youths and stand behind.

"Where's Yin Zhen?" asked Ge Hongbing.

Lin Yutong couldn't pretend not to know, "Wu Zhishu has something to do with him, it seems that he went to repair the car." ”

Ge Hongbing nodded, as long as he was not absent from work, he didn't ask.

When the living faction came down, Lin Yutong was left on the field to peel the corn cob. The rest of the educated youths went to the field to break sticks.

"Why?" Yang Liu said in a loud voice, "Why is she doing the lightest work like those big ladies?"

Lin Yutong pursed his lips and didn't speak. I really can't do my own work, so I might as well do what I can. She knows her own business, so she won't take the initiative to be active.

Li Zhong was a burly and sturdy man, and immediately scolded: "What are you shouting? What are you shouting? People have just come here and don't understand anything." Point her to the field for what she can do. She can do the job. The other members haven't spoken yet, and you young people have made trouble first. Why are you so ignorant?"

Yang Liu is a slender and tall girl, Wenwen is weak, but her mouth is very powerful. She looked at Lin Yutong and snorted coldly, "How many centimeters does the captain give?"

An adult male laborer is ten centimeters a day, and most women are nine centimeters. There are also good ones, who earn about the same as a man. But these girls are all eight centimeters.

Captain Li smiled, "Then give seven centimeters." "At the end of the year, with the subsidy of the hygienist, it can catch up to 10 centimeters.

Lin Yutong nodded at Captain Li in understanding.

Yang Liu snorted at this time, "It's pretty much the same." ”

In the middle of the night, corn cobs were brought back one after another. The walk-behind tractor has been repaired, and now Wu Chunlai is driving it. Lin Yutong looked up and saw the fourth master setting up the carriage and sitting on the wheel.

He's not tired of this work.

Lin Yutong still threw over a new pair of white-threaded gloves, "Take it." "Grinding hands of the province.

The rest of the male laborers are all one person and one cart, pulling and transporting them to the big field. Driving a carriage is not a life at all. The only thing left to do was to unload the corn cob from the car. But there were many women in their forties and fifties on the field, and one person took the handle to unload it. Two more runs in a carriage are better than anything else.

"How did that kid get into the camp?" Wang Limin asked Ge Hongbing.

Ge Hongbing lifted the hem of his clothes and wiped his sweat, "Then who knows? Now the eye gas has a fart use. He can't see Wang Limin, a person who has no ability and is cautious.

Yesterday, the captain's sister-in-law helped Lin Yutong catch fish, and he guessed that the two must have left something. But so what, many educated youths with hard relationships have been recruited and returned to the city.

Although peeling corn is the lightest job, at the end of the day, it still hurts in the shoulders, arms, and even fingers.

"Still can't be in the production team. The fourth master pinched Lin Yutong's shoulder, "The hygienist of the production team is not called a hygienist." "You still have to work when the farm is busy.

"Master wants to go to the Corps?" Lin Yutong asked.

The fourth master nodded: "This has to have a chance." You don't care, at most you will survive this half a year, and the master will find a way to stop asking you to do rough work. He thought in his heart that if he did this autumn, he would not work in the winter. After the New Year, before the beginning of spring, it can always be planned.

After all, there's not much room for upside in the queue. I've been a farmer for ten years. But the Corps is different. This country will not be like this forever, but how long it will last, who knows? He is not an official fan, a person who has been an emperor, he will not be obsessed with any official position, but he cannot make women suffer with him. Besides, what will I do if I get married and have children in the future? Still cowering in this palm-sized place? This is absolutely not good!

People, no matter what you do, you must have a hope, a head, and a goal. Living a chaotic life, not knowing how to plan, not knowing how to fight, then there is really no energy.
