"Knock knock!"

"Wei Ping, get up, hurry up and run with me!"

With a sudden knock on the door, Zhou Yuanchao's shout came from outside the door.

Yang Weiping didn't think about it, turned his head and replied: "The door is not bolted, Brother Chao." ”

In the sound of "squeak", Zhou Yuan pushed the door forward.

Seeing the figure sitting cross-legged on the kang, Zhou Yuanchao asked with a smile: "Look at your plane, didn't you sleep all night last night?"

"Well, I have so much going on in my head that I can't sleep. Yang Weiping nodded and replied while rewrapping the red cloth bag.

"I didn't sleep all night. Zhou Yuanchao sighed and said: "I guess Guodong is the same as us." ”

"Then just call Brother Guodong together. Yang Weiping got down from the kang and put on his shoes, "Grandpa Mao said that the body is the capital of the revolution, and we have to take advantage of our youth to exercise our bodies well." ”

"Okay, I'll call him. Zhou Yuanchao turned around and went out without hesitation, and after a while, his soft "huh" sound came from the courtyard, "Guodong, you are also up, I was just about to call you!"

"Your kid is so loud that the whole yard can hear it. He Guodong said: "Wei Ping is up, right?"

"This kid hasn't slept all night, and when I called him, he was sitting on the kang and thinking about things!"

"Zhou Yuanchao, please make your voice lighter, okay, and don't let people sleep!"

"You will toss blindly, you can't eat enough, how can you still have the energy to run and exercise, sleep and sleep. ”

After a few complaints from others, the courtyard became quiet again.

Yang Weiping put the red cloth bag back at the bottom of the rattan box, just put it in, took it out again, counted ten ten-yuan bills from it, then re-wrapped it, stuffed it into the bottom of the box, and pressed it tightly with books, and then locked the box.

I folded the money, carefully put it in my trouser pocket, and patted it when it was over. Yang Weiping came out of the house and came to the courtyard, their brothers didn't look like they had slept all night, but the spirit of the three of them seemed to be enough.

In order not to disturb the sleep of other educated youths, the three brothers didn't say much, nodded to each other, and walked out of the yard lightly, jogging side by side, along the village road out of the village, towards the outside of the village.

Because He Guodong had a foot injury, Yang Weiping and Zhou Yuanchao basically accompanied him for a walk. The three of them walked around Shangling Village twice and unanimously agreed that from today onwards, regardless of wind or rain, they must insist on exercising in the morning, and without a good physique, let alone devote themselves to national construction in the future and make contributions.

Yang Weiping thought more about how to make use of the existing environment to slightly improve the food of the educated youth, so that everyone could increase a little nutrition as much as possible.

This morning, Su Changgui did not appear in the team, and it was the deputy captain Luo Jiefang who led everyone to work, and Yang Weiping didn't think there was anything strange about it, leading cadres, there are always a lot of things waiting for them to be busy and deal with.

Taking the opportunity of delivering public grain to the commune in the afternoon, Yang Weiping slipped away to the Hongqi Supply and Marketing Cooperatives next to the commune compound while everyone was unloading the car.

In this year's supply and marketing cooperatives, the goods on the counters and shelves could not even be compared to a community commissary in later generations.

Horse lanterns and kerosene were sold, but there were not even ten copies of paper such as material paper and letter paper. After the enthusiastic introduction of the fat aunt's salesman, Yang Weiping learned that if he wanted to buy a large amount of material paper, he had to take the letter of introduction issued by the commune and go to the county printing factory to order.

Knowing that there was a printing factory in Jinnan County, Yang Weiping's mind immediately became active.

Printing houses, in general, must have business dealings with Xinhua bookstores and publishing houses.

In the current environment, it is impossible for Yang Weiping to find time to make a special trip to Shanghai to contact Huhai Science and Technology Publishing House to publish the "New Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry Self-study Series", so he can only choose the nearest publishing unit in Longxi Province. …,

Yang Weiping does not know much about the Chinese publishing institutions and publishing policies in this era, so it is necessary to consult professionals while compiling the "New Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry Self-study Series".

In the surprised eyes of the fat aunt's salesman, Yang Weiping bought four horse lanterns, half a barrel of kerosene, ten material papers, two pens, ten pencils, ten bottles of ink, two catties of brown sugar, plus two cigarettes from the front door, and consumed a total of fifty-seven yuan, eight cents and six cents.

You must know that at this time, the monthly salary of an employee of a state-owned factory was less than 30 yuan. Personal consumption costs nearly 60 yuan at one time, which is a typical "loser" behavior.

Watching Yang Weiping pick up the things he bought from the counter with his arm between his left and right arm, the fat aunt asked curiously, "Young man, did you buy this for the father-in-law?"

I can't help but be curious about this fat aunt, she has been in the supply and marketing cooperatives for almost three years, and it is the first time to see such a young man consuming such a large amount of "huge money" at one time.

"Well, I am a young man in the production team of Shangling Village. Yang Weiping smiled and nodded and replied: "Today, the team came to the commune to pay for public food, let me come over and bring some office supplies back." ”

"I'll just say, how can private people buy these things? The fat aunt suddenly smiled and said: "If you want to open a letter of introduction, you have to go to Zheng Zili, the director of the office of the commune, he is the head of our family, and you said that I introduced you in the past." ”

Yang Weiping was stunned for a while, and he didn't know who to find to open a letter of introduction, and when he heard the fat aunt say this, he quickly thanked him again and again, and trotted out of the supply and marketing cooperative.

Back at the public grain weighing point in the commune compound, the villagers and educated youths of Shangling Village couldn't help but be surprised when they saw Yang Weiping carrying so many things in his hand.

"Xiao Yang, why are you buying so many lanterns?" Luo Jiefang, whose face was dark and shiny, looked at the four lanterns and kerosene drums that Yang Weiping was carrying in confusion and asked, "The team doesn't seem to let you purchase things on your behalf!"

"I bought it privately, Captain Luo. Yang Weiping smiled indifferently: "I want to read at night, the light is not on, it is not good for the eyes, so buy a few more and shine on the bright hall." ”

"What a loser, even if you have money in hand, you can't spend it like this!" Luo Jiefang shook his head and sighed regretfully.

Yang Weiping smiled, didn't say anything, walked to He Guodong and Zhou Yuanchao, and put a lot of things on the wheelbarrow they were responsible for.

"Wei Ping, where did you get the money to buy so many things?" He Guodong asked softly with a slight frown.

"I'll talk about it later, it's not convenient to talk about it now. Yang Weiping replied in a low voice: "I have to go to the commune office to find Director Zheng to open a letter of introduction now, and I have to find time to go to the county seat another day." ”

"What do you want to do with the letter of introduction?" Zhou Yuanchao asked in amazement.

Yang Weiping opened a large front door cigarette, stuffed a pack for He Guodong and Zhou Yuanchao respectively, stuffed two packs in his trouser pocket, and then put the remaining half of the cigarette together with the other unopened bag, and handed it to Zhou Yuanchao, "Brother Yuanchao, you take this first, and I'll explain to you when I come back in the evening." I'll go first, don't wait for me, I'm not sure when I'll be able to go back. ”

After finishing speaking, Yang Weiping didn't wait for He Guodong and Zhou Yuanchao to reply, turned around and strode forward, trotting towards the small courtyard gate at the east end of the compound.

This courtyard is larger than the west courtyard, covering an estimated area of more than two acres, and the bluestone courtyard wall is about three meters high, and there are full of disorganized broken glass pieces on it.

The ground is paved with flat granite slabs, and a wooden propaganda column is erected against the east wall, on which some red and white paper such as big-character posters that Cheng Gong cannot see clearly. …,

On the south wall, there are big slogans such as "Agricultural Village" and "Welcome to the Mountains and Countryside".

Most of the buildings in the courtyard are cave structures, and the most eye-catching is a two-storey building, more than 20 meters wide, and there is a red five-star building on the front.

Yang Weiping walked straight towards the office building with a calm expression.

As soon as I walked to the entrance of the middle building, I saw Chen Jialiang, the secretary of the commune, and another middle-aged man in dark blue overalls walking down from the upper floor one after the other.

"Uncle, don't send it, such a trivial matter, don't worry, it's on me. The middle-aged man in dark blue overalls turned around and waved his hand at Chen Jialiang and said.

"Yougen, our commune is now a critical time for the summer grain harvest, if the big tractor can't be repaired in time, it will definitely affect the summer grain collection task of the whole commune and even the whole county, so I will ask you for this matter. Chen Jialiang said with a very serious look.

The middle-aged man smiled loudly, patted his chest and replied, "Definitely." After finishing speaking, the person had already arrived at the staircase, and when he passed by Yang Weiping, he glanced at Yang Weiping intentionally or unintentionally, and then pushed out a half-old permanent brand 28 bicycle from the aisle on the first floor, rode on the bike with two feet, and walked away.

Although he just hurriedly took a look, Yang Weiping had an intuition that this person should be engaged in martial arts.

Chen Jialiang glanced at Yang Weiping condescendingly, and when he saw Yang Weiping walking upstairs, he couldn't help frowning and asked, "Where did you come from?"

"Secretary Chen, hello. Yang Weiping replied without humility or arrogance: "I am Yang Weiping, a young man in Shangling Village, and I want to ask the commune to open a letter of introduction for me and go to the printing house in the county to buy a batch of material paper." ”

"Material paper?" Chen Jialiang asked with obvious sensitivity, "What material do you want to write?"

As soon as Yang Weiping heard this, he knew that the commune secretary from the rebel faction in front of him had misunderstood, and calmly explained: "I want to use my spare time to write some novels, essays, poems and other literary works, and I feel a bit too wasteful to use manuscript paper, so I choose to use material paper, and the utilization rate of paper is at least twice as high as that of manuscript paper." ”

"Hehe, seeing that you are not very old, you are quite good at small abacus. Chen Jialiang smiled mildly: "I know that you educated youths from the city like to write and paint, young people, have literary interests and hobbies, very good, but you must pay attention to political factors." ”

"Well, please rest assured, Secretary Chen, I don't want to be arrested by the public security organs as a counter-revolutionary. Yang Weiping replied with a smile and nodded.

"You can open a letter of introduction, go to Director Zheng in the office, go upstairs and turn left to the first office. Chen Jialiang said, turned around and walked slowly upstairs with his hands behind his back.

Xie Lu and Secretary Chen pointed out. Yang Weiping sincerely thanked Chen Jialiang's back. did not immediately walk upstairs, but waited for the sound of leather shoes under Chen Jialiang's feet to gradually disappear, and then calmly stepped up step by step.
