35. Chapter 35

Tang Zongyuan glanced at Ye Qiu, then remembered that she was also a young man from the countryside, and thought for a while, "Comrade Qin Guowen asked our village to issue a certificate, and he wants to go back to S Province." But there was never such a precedent in the village, so they rejected him. After being rejected, Qin Guowen's comradeship was a little excited, so he was taken away by the militia. ”

Qin Lu was relieved to hear that Qin Guowen was only taken away because he was excited. Then he rushed in from the outside and said to Tang Zongyuan, "Director Tang, can I go and see Brother Qin." ”

Tang Zongyuan nodded, "Yes." After I went, I persuaded him that our village also acted in accordance with the rules and regulations. If he wants to go back to the city, he will either give a certificate of employment in the city, and our village will definitely issue a recommendation certificate. Either you can receive re-education in the village, as long as the re-education is qualified, our village will also recommend it to the above. ”

After Qin Lu said thank you, he turned around and walked towards the ancestral hall of the brigade.

Wei Hongzhi didn't expect this reason, and after Qin Lu left, he looked at Ye Qiu and Lu Jianbin, "He wants to go back to S Province?" Could it be that something happened to his family? ”

Lu Jianbin shook his head, although he lived in the same room with Qin Guowen, he didn't know much about Qin Guowen. I only know that he is from S Province, and his father has passed away at home, leaving only his mother. However, he also has an older sister and an older brother, both of whom are already married.

Ye Qiu didn't notice Wei Hongzhi's eyes. After she listened to Tang Zongyuan's words, she was stunned, something happened to the Tang family? It was Grandpa Zhang who shook those things out. But Grandpa Zhang should not come back until next year?

Ye Qiu was a little puzzled, could it be that he was reborn in advance? Thinking of this possibility, Ye Qiu's heartbeat couldn't help but accelerate, and he hurriedly asked Tang Zongyuan, "Did Comrade Qin Guowen say what he was going back for?" ”

Tang Zongyuan shook his head, was silent for a moment, and said, "However, even if Comrade Qin Guowen has an accident at home, our village will not issue a certificate now." ”

"Why?" Wei Hongzhi was a little puzzled.

Lu Jianbin and Ye Qiu were thoughtful.

Tang Zongyuan glanced at Ye Qiu without a trace, thinking about whether to sue them.

In today's Tang family, the fifth uncle Tang Weishan is the one who has a future. When he entered the village cadre team, he learned that Tang Weishan was now an officer. The difference between a non-commissioned officer and an officer is that an officer can be promoted as long as he has military merits, while a non-commissioned officer is still a non-commissioned officer no matter how long he serves. is like the former village director, who has been fighting for more than ten years, and in the end, he will be discharged from the army. However, this is not the case for officers, who are discharged from the army and are called changing jobs, and the localities must arrange corresponding positions.

And although the above announcement is a secret now, it won't be long before everyone knows about it.

After weighing the rights, Tang Zongyuan also chose to sue the three of them, "Nowadays, the intellectual youth in the countryside in various provinces are a little fluctuating, so during this time, the above requires that these young people be prohibited from going out. That is, you can only go as far as the town, and when you go to the county, you will have to have a letter of introduction. ”

Ye Qiu guessed something in his heart.

Wei Hongzhi just didn't expect this for a while, after all, Tang Weiyong worked in a state-run hotel in the county, and when he came back, he also nagged her, but he didn't expect that he would be so strict now.

"Alright, you guys go back too." After a pause, Tang Zongyuan nodded, "If there is anything in the future, don't participate." Stay in the village separately, and when the time comes, you will always be able to go back. In fact, this was said to Ye Qiu, he was worried that when the atmosphere spread here, Ye Qiu impulsively followed.

After thanking the three of them, they left the village cadre office.

Wei Hongzhi and Lu Jianbin were going to the ancestral hall of the brigade to see Qin Guowen. Ye Qiu didn't want to go, and kept wondering what happened to Qin Guowen's family, whether Qin Guowu had fallen?

I kept thinking about it like this, so much so that I was absent-minded when I went to work, and when I used a hoe to dig potatoes, I dug a lot of pieces, and I was so worried that Ye Qiu frequently talked about it.

"Brother and sister, why are you in a trance?" Yao Xiaolan was in a group with Ye Qiu this time, and when she saw that she was obviously not in the situation, she asked worriedly.

"Sister-in-law, it's okay, it's okay." Ye Qiu came back to his senses, and he was stunned for a moment about the Qin family.

In fact, what happened to the Qin family had nothing to do with her. The fall of Qin Guowu is naturally a good thing, so that Qin Guowen's life will definitely not be as smooth as his previous life. If Qin Guowu does not fall, it has nothing to do with her. After all, she has nothing to do with Qin Guowen in this life. The two of them weren't even nodding acquaintances

Thinking of this, Ye Qiu put the affairs of the Qin family on the back of his mind and started his farm work seriously.

Nowadays, the village is digging potatoes and harvesting winter soybeans, which are commonly known as artichokes. Both potatoes and winter soybeans were planted before the Chinese New Year last year. Dig it out just to fill the season when there are no vegetables. Potatoes can be fried or boiled, soybeans can be sprouted, tofu and so on. The village also announced that after the potatoes were dug up, they would be ready to distribute the grain.

The construction of the village is divided into grain once every six months. In the first half of the year, the wheat is harvested once in the idle time, and in the second half of the year, after the rice is harvested. The main grains in the first half of the year are wheat, potatoes, dried vegetables made in winter, and so on. In the second half of the year, there are more rice, corn, peanuts, various beans, vegetables, sweet potatoes, etc., and some fruits and the like.

Although there are few types of grain distribution in the first half of the year, the villagers are looking forward to it. After all, the grain distributed in the second half of last year has been eaten so far, and many families have already eaten it and are borrowing grain to live. This time, the distribution of grain happened to be connected, so the villagers have been working very energetically recently.

The piece of land that Ye Qiu dug today is sandy, and it doesn't take too much effort to dig up the potatoes, and sometimes the potatoes in the sand can be brought out by pulling the potato vines directly. And everyone worked together, so they quickly finished today's work. After everyone put the potatoes in the village grain depot, Ye Qiu and Yao Xiaolan went home together.

The bath water at home during this time was boiled by Tang Guifang's eldest daughter Li Xiahong and her younger sister Li Donghong, and the two children were so sensible that Ye Qiu was very distressed. As soon as Ye Qiu entered the house, he saw that they were preparing to boil water, and hurriedly stepped forward to help. After fetching water from the well in the backyard, Ye Qiu found that there was no water in the tank. remembered that Tang Guifang had been very busy these days, so he picked up the flat pole and bucket to carry water.

When she went out, Ye Qiu saw Yao Xiaolan going out with a basket on her back, "Sister-in-law, what else are you going to do?" ”

Yao Xiaolan looked left and right, and quietly stepped forward, "I'm going to go to the tea mountain to pick some tea leaves, do you want to go." ”

Ye Qiu heard what he said and prepared to respond. But suddenly remembered that Yao Xiaolan didn't pick tea for herself, "Sister-in-law, the sun is about to set, let's go early tomorrow." ”

"Your eldest brother is building a field with his father on the side of Chashan today, and he said before he went to work, and I would go to Chashan to wait for him after work."

Ye Qiu heard this, and hurriedly said, "Then sister-in-law pick it herself, the tea leaves picked now can only be made into black tea, I still like green tea made from spring tea." ”

Yao Xiaolan nodded when she heard this, many people like to drink green tea, so she walked quickly towards the mountain with a basket on her back.

In fact, Ye Qiu is saying the opposite, she likes to drink black tea very much, especially the black tea made from the tea mountain behind Jianshe Village. The taste is moist and mellow, slightly bitter at first, but the aftertaste is timeless and sweet. It's just that picking tea and making zuò black tea is hard work, how can she ask for a sister-in-law. What's more, the sister-in-law is so sneaky to pick tea for her father.

When Ye Qiu was in the countryside in his last life, the first time he tasted it was the black tea made by Yao Xiaolan's father, and he liked the slightly bitter but sweet aftertaste as soon as he drank it. Later, a person also slowly studied making black tea. Once, when making tea, Yao Xiaolan's father saw it and instructed her to make it. Although the taste can't catch up with Uncle Yao, it's okay to drink it yourself. After more than ten years of research, Ye Qiu's skills are also very good.

But compared to Uncle Yao, Ye Qiu knew that he was still a big step behind.

After all, Uncle Yao began to learn to make tea when he was a child, and that craft is considered an ancestral inheritance.

Although the black tea in Wudu Town is not well-known in the country, it is still a little famous in Guojiang County. The black tea in Wudu Town is the most famous in Yaojiagou. Yaojiagou is a col on the other side of the tea mountain behind Jianshe Village, which used to be a tea forest. All belong to Yao Xiaolan's family.

Later, in the Chinese movement against rich peasant landlords, the tea forest was returned to the state. And the Yao family was also determined to be the landlord. Yao Xiaolan's father was also criticized for the tea forest at home, lived in a bullpen, and wore a high hat. For a while, the Yao family became a rat crossing the street, and everyone beat and scolded them.

Not long after, Huaguo launched a grain production campaign. The tea trees in Yaojiagou were almost completely destroyed.

People's concept of tea has also changed, and they have a contemptuous mentality, always feeling that they can't fill their stomachs and it's useless to keep them. However, there are also limitations of this era, after all, the commodity economy is not in circulation, and many things are difficult to sell even if they are available.

Therefore, the tea mountain behind the village was built, and the village only picked spring tea, and then bought it in a state-run shop. After the spring tea, if the people in the village want to pick it, they can go to pick it. It's just that at this time, when it is difficult to solve the problem of food and clothing in the village, few people will want to pick tea, after all, it is also very troublesome to make tea. Especially after the spring tea, as the weather gets hotter, it is best to make the tea leaves into black tea for a long time. But the steps to make black tea are much more complicated than green tea.

However, Yao Xiaolan was able to marry Tang Weishi because of tea picking.

In the situation of the Yao family back then, Yao Xiaolan had no one to propose.

After all, the Yao family's ingredient is the landlord, who dares to take it? Take Yao Xiaolan, then don't think about peace at home. Because the Yao family is a landlord, Yao Xiaolan's father has to be taken out to parade the streets from time to time, wearing a high hat to make people point fingers. And Yao Xiaolan, as the daughter of the Yao family, will definitely be affected.

When it was more difficult, it was recommended to go to school at that time. As long as the poor peasants have money, they can go to school, and the middle peasants and rich peasants can also find connections, but it is a bit difficult for the landlord to be included, and they basically do not give them education. So Yao Xiaolan was disliked in that situation. As she grew older, Yao Xiaolan also panicked.

And although Yao Xiaolan's father has suffered, he still has a soft spot for black tea. Yao Jiagou was gone, so he asked Yao Xiaolan to go to the tea mountain to pick and drink quietly at home. Yao Xiaolan hated her father for making black tea, and at the same time, she quietly went to the tea mountain to pick tea, and once, she was met by Tang Weishi. Yao Xiaolan was afraid that she would be sued by Tang Weishi to the construction village brigade, and then she would be paraded in a high hat and criticized, so she panicked and hugged Tang Weishi all of a sudden, and then cried and prayed.

Tang Weishi was honest and honest, and he had never been intimate with a girl, so he blushed for a while and hurriedly promised that he would not sue the village. After talking for a long time, Yao Xiaolan let go of him.

Later, after Yao Xiaolan met Tang Weishi a few more times, she took the initiative to approach him. After inquiring about his family's situation, he relied on him directly.

The Tang family was also so poor that the bell rang at that time, and Zhou Ju's own identity was also special, and he also felt some pity for Yao Xiaolan, so he agreed to this family business. So Yao Xiaolan has been married for almost ten years, although she is a little cautious and has many unsatisfactory things in her life, she is still very grateful to Zhou Ju.

Ye Qiu looked at Yao Xiaolan's back, thinking about when he would pick some tea leaves to make black tea and drink it. Send some to Old Tang when the time comes.

After picking two loads of water, Ye Qiu was ready to rest for a while. But I saw Comrade Postman walking towards her with an army-green bag on his back, grinning, and said as he walked, "Comrade Ye Qiu, Comrade Ye Qiu, there is your letter and remittance slip." ”
