Section 51 Merchant Forest

The reason for the fights is still the fault of the educated youths -- from the city to the countryside, in addition to the water and soil, life is also very difficult, and all the material things that these young people can enjoy in the city (although it is also very little) cannot be enjoyed here at all, not to mention the side, just three meals a day, food stuffed into the mouth, which makes people feel very sad!

Luan (county) is mainly agriculture, the main crops are rice, corn, sorghum, wheat, sweet potato, etc., and it is worth mentioning that peanuts - Luan (county) is the largest flower production area in the province, known as the peanut of the East Road. The cultivated area is as high as 270,000 acres! Every harvest season, in the county's natural villages and towns, the smell of fried peanuts is everywhere, and the educated youth do their best to do what they want, they begin to spoil it, and if they can't eat it, they throw it away as garbage, and criticize the locals for a few words, not only do not listen, but scold in various dialects.

The locals always felt a little pity in their hearts when they saw these young people coming here from all over the country and lost their parents, and they did not know the same as them, but later, the situation changed slightly: the educated youth began to steal things, and these people almost caught stealing everything, and finally developed to the very small number of poultry raised by the commune, such as chickens, ducks, geese, etc., which were secretly brought home by these people and slaughtered and eaten.

This can poke the hornet's nest, this poultry is the property of the commune, in the hands of the breeder, the latter is to take responsibility, one less today, three less tomorrow, how can the breeder explain? At first, I thought it was a weasel, and it didn't work to tie the fence seriously - but later I learned that it wasn't like that, it was all stolen by these educated youths!

There is a natural village called Shanglin in the county, which is also the hardest hit area for the loss of birds, there are 2 square kilometers in this village, about 10,000 people, of which four or fifty percent are surnamed Shang! There is a local educated youth spot, that is, the place where Lu Li and they are going to this time, there were originally more than 300 and 60 educated youths from all over the motherland, and since July this year, they have had a hard fight with local farmers (see later for details)!

Because of their special identity and experience, the educated youth are very united, but after all, they can't compare to the local thousands of young and strong boys, most of them have been injured in different degrees because of the fight, and they can't even get out of bed.

Lu Li listened to Director Qiu's introduction, and his mouth twitched, "That'...... That ......"

"Do you know what to do, the people of Shanglin are the most grouped, if anyone is bullied, the whole village will go out together, one person with a pickaxe, and the death will be counted!" Qiu Funong held a cigarette in his mouth, and a light mist spread in the carriage, "Just at night, there was a young man from Beijing (Beijing) who had his head broken, his legs were also discounted, and he was sent to the health center in the town, and I don't know what to do now." ”

Luli didn't even know what the pickaxe was, and listened stunned, "That'...... Only...... In spite of? ”

"The law does not blame the public, and besides, there is an old Red Army in the merchant forest, three generations of hired farmers, and the roots are red and the seedlings are positive."

Hired peasants are poorer than poor peasants, and in terms of origin, they are the most high-grade, but because there are very few such people, they are rarely mentioned, and most of them are based on poor peasants. ”

Luli was amazed! Now I understood a little, "Oh, after the gentle slope ahead, there we are." ”

The two of them were talking, and the glass behind them made a crackling sound, Qiu Funong knew that something was wrong, so he asked the driver to pull over, "Is it swollen?" Is it to pee? ”

A girl blushed and nodded, Lu Li recognized it, her name is Zhao Yongmao, and Luo Yaohua is from the same Red Star Middle School, opened the tailgate of the car, helped her get out of the car, the girl trotted and rushed into the depths of the woods on the side of the road, the other boys took out their cigarettes and distributed them for a week, "Xiaoxiao, what did you talk to Director Qiu in the car?" See you're having a good chat? "This is a boy whose name Lu Li can't name, and he heard Xu Yunjian call him by his nickname, and he also shouted.

"Tiny? Xiaoxiao is also called by you? Xu Yunjian immediately asked him.

"I ...... I didn't see you call him ......"

"My name is, do you know what the relationship between me and Xiaoxiao is? Why are you called? Don't call it that way in the future! ”

"If you don't call you, don't you shout?"

While speaking, Zhao Yongmao lowered his head, blushing like a little daughter-in-law who was about to get married, and walked back like a little unnatural, seeing that she was walking a little unnaturally, the boys didn't understand what it was, and among the girls was that smart, they hurriedly greeted him, and said a few words, but saw that Zhao Yongmao's face was even more red, "Classmate Luli, is it okay to let Classmate Zhao sit inside?" One girl asked, "She's not feeling well." ”

"What's wrong? Is it sick? The boy who had just been robbed by Xu Yunjian asked with concern.

"Phew!" The girl smacked the talking child, "What do you care?" Do you want to know about girls? ”

Luli guessed that he might have said something that he shouldn't have said, and nodded his head in agreement, "Sit down...... Noodles, Director Qiu, look...... See what? ”

The boy didn't understand, but Qiu Funong understood, smiled and pulled the car door, let the two girls sit in, and he and Lu Li climbed into the back compartment and patted the roof with their hands, "Let's go!" ”

**********************************************************

stayed overnight in Chengguan Town, and early the next morning, Lu Li and his group of fourteen people were finally sent to the merchant Lin Zhiqing.

Shanglin is located in the east of Chengguan Town, and Hebei Changli is only separated by a Luan River, the river water is extremely clear, you can see through the bottom of the river three or five meters deep at a glance, the reeds and aquatic plants on the bank are growing in the lush season, the vast fields on both sides are planted with all kinds of crops that cannot be seen at a glance, "Xiaoxiao, have you seen it?" How beautiful is that? ”

"Yes." Luli also felt relaxed, and at this moment, he seemed to feel that it was not a very bad idea to come here to cut the queue hundreds of thousands of kilometers away from home, "We...... Let's go? ”

The scrivener of the merchant Lin Commune anti-Japanese, born in 1931, is only in his thirties this year, but because of the wind and frost in the field, it seems that he is much older than the actual age, according to the genealogy of the Shang family, his generation ranks a 'come' word, but the name 'Lairi' is too strange, in the northern dialect, the meaning of this word is very indecent, so after the end of the Anti-Japanese War, it was changed to anti-Japanese.

Shang Kang served as the branch secretary for several years, and has received a large number of intellectual young people, familiar with Lu Li, Xu Yunjian, Li Haijun (that is, the child who was robbed by Xu Yunjian), Lin Yanxiu and several boys shook hands, and it is expected to look at Zhao Yongmao, Fan Meidi (that is, the second girl who robbed Bai Li Haijun) and other girls, "Okay! The young comrades of knowledge came to our merchant forest and brought us the excellent revolutionary tradition and fine style of the revolutionary comrades of Tian (Tianjin) City. He smiled, revealing a mouthful of tetracycline teeth.

Luli applauded, "We respond to the Great Leader...... Hair...... The great call of the chairman to settle down in the merchant forest, and there is a ...... in work and production If it's wrong, it's ...... Please, the secretary of the business branch criticizes...... Education. ”

"You're welcome, you're welcome." Shang Kang looked at everyone in amazement, he didn't expect that this stammering kid would be the leader of everyone? "We progress together, progress together; Come, I'll take you to the Educated Youth Point. ”

Zhiqing point is in the west of the village, Luanhe River turns a small bend here, the jade belt goes around the village in general, and Shanglin Village is the first natural village in Chengguan Town, with more than 3,000 households; Among them, nearly 300 houses are Zhiqing Point; Among the more than 300 households, 60 are exclusively for female intellectuals, and 42 are for the use of intellectuals and young couples who are married here.

Lu Li didn't expect that there were already educated youths getting married here? Later, I found out that this was because life in the fields was too hard, and men and women supported each other and helped each other to get by--educated youths were still a minority, and more women were married to locals -- that was to make up their minds to take root here for a long time.

Shang Kang led the way in front, and introduced the situation to them while walking, "There were originally more than 400 educated youths here, more than 200 male educated youths, and more than 200 female educated youths, but recently, many male educated youths and the old and young masters of the village have fought, and many of them have been injured. ”

There was the sound of wheels behind him, Shang Zhan looked back, and hurriedly flashed to the side of the road, "Let them go first." ”

Everyone looked back, and immediately widened their eyes, a big car slowly drove away, it was a non-horse and non-donkey animal holding a wheel, a man sat in front, the car was loaded with a large bag of corn that had just been harvested, and more than a dozen women were only wearing close-fitting clothes, and they saluted a group of young people in the car, "Shangzhishu, this is new, right?" ”

"It's Ni!"

The woman who spoke patted the handlebar on the shoulder, and the latter let out a long 'whoop', and the driving livestock stopped, and the woman grabbed the gray and blue cloth clothes placed on the corn bale and jumped down, "Come, sisters, meet the new comrades!" ”

She said a very beautiful Beijing film, crisp and pleasant, "Hello, I am a Beijing (Beijing) educated youth, Hu Xuejun." For 70 years, welcome to you. ”

It's also strange to say, just two or three days of getting along, with a group of people from Tian (Tianjin) formed a small group centered on Lu Li, he doesn't speak, others don't speak, "You...... Okay, senior. ”

Hu Xuejun laughed, "Did you hear that?" He called me senior! Listen to you, it's from Tian(Jin) Wei, right? North (Beijing) Tian (Tianjin) is not far away, and it can be regarded as a fellow countryman. Welcome! ”

"This ...... What is it? Fan Meidi asked, her name sounded very troublesome, but because of the surname Fan, it became a name with the characteristics of the times.

"This is corn, and you will have to learn to pick it later, have you ever heard the story of a bear breaking a cob? We're bears, but don't worry, you'll be bears one day. Ha ha! ”

Luli smiled.

"Okay, okay, Hu Zhiqing, you guys are busy with your first, I'll send them over and talk about it."

Hu Xuejun didn't linger any longer, his hand that moved quickly supported the car, and his body jumped up, "Goodbye." ”

"Goodbye."
