Chapter Eighty-Three: Condolences
After three consecutive days of meeting, the strategic plan for the remaining four months was roughly determined, and the rest of the things were implemented according to the plan. This is a tradition of No. 2 Middle School for many years, almost ten years old, set on June 7 every year.
The difference this time is that in previous years, the third year of high school who did not participate in the usual practice was also required to participate, and the teaching office required each third year of high school to bring two junior students, under the intentional arrangement of Director Qiu, Yu Jun, Sun Yuhao, and Qin Xue were divided into a group.
This shit, Yu Jun crooked his mouth, isn't this purely good for Lao Tzu.
The original intention of the director was to shoot Yu Jun's ass, who in the second middle school didn't know that Sun Yuhao was his girlfriend, and Qin Xue was Sun Yuhao's good friend, if he knew that there was a complicated triangular relationship, he would not arrange it so if he was killed, this kind of group form was still something he tried his best to get at the school teachers' conference.
Arrived at the school early the next morning, and when it was past eight o'clock, there were more than 100 students who could not leave, and the director was in a hurry.
There are two bus group buses broke down on the way, after communication and understanding, if you want to wait for the bus to come, it will be at least after ten o'clock, and then rush over, people will be these students to eat.
Yu Jun had no choice but to call Su Qing and ask the human resources department to transfer two buses to pick everyone up.
I asked the director to thank him immediately, in fact, this matter can be handled by other people, and there are not a few parents of the second middle school students who are bureau chiefs and section chiefs, and it is a trivial matter to transfer two cars to support ideological education.
After getting into the car, Yu Jun raised his eyes to look at Qin Xue who was sitting in front of him, and saw that her small mouth was pouting like a shoehorn, and he didn't know who was angry. Sun Yuhao sat quietly next to him, leaning his head on Yu Jun's shoulder, and closing his eyes to recuperate.
Waiting for the car to drive out for a while, Yu Jun also closed his eyes, planning to sleep for a while.
The place to go is Liuwan Village, located at the junction of urban and rural areas in Yunguang, close to the small workshop opened by Cheng Feng and his son, but it takes about an hour and a half to drive from No. 2 Middle School. There are some old Red Army and five-guarantee households, and the city will symbolically give some grain and oil subsidies during the New Year's holidays, but there are very few people who really care about it.
Most of these people are in their late prime, some as high as 100 years old, have no children or daughters, and live in unimaginable poverty on receiving a minimum allowance every month.
When he arrived at the entrance of Liuwan Village, he asked the director to stop the car, and Xu Huifang directed the students to line up on the side of the road. Yu Jun woke up Sun Yuhao, and when he saw her rubbing her eyes, looking like she hadn't slept enough, he thought of the toss last night, and said with a smile: "If you want to be tired, sleep in the car, Qin Xue and I will go first." "
"No need." Sun Yuhao supported his body and stood up, leaning on the chair in the front row, and reached out to touch the backpack beside him, Yu Jun said, "I'll take it." "
Since it is to come to condolences, it is necessary to buy some things, the school is to distribute five catties of rice to each family, and the students themselves must also bring some condolences. Lin Shurong prepared a ten-liter bottle of peanut oil, some compressed biscuits and some old clothes, which filled the entire backpack.
Qin Xue looked back and shouted, "What are you doing slowly, hurry up." With that, she got out of the car with her head held high.
"She's been a little angry lately, you have to bear with it." Sun Yuhao was afraid that Yu Jun would quarrel with Qin Xue again, so he whispered.
Yu Jun chuckled: "The gentleman doesn't fight with women, I'll let her." "
Sun Yuhao gave Yu Jun a complaining look: "This made her make trouble again when she heard this." "
Yu Jun smiled and helped her arm to get out of the car.
The car was already full of students, all neatly lined up, these heartless guys, I don't know how many snacks were in the backpacks and satchels they carried, and they all took this as a game.
Yu Jun listened to Xu Huifang assigning the designated condolences of each group, and begged the director to talk to the village party secretary, so he turned his head sideways to look at the village. This small village was built on the side of the road, and along the roadbed was covered with paved rubble, with weeds growing in the middle, and at the very edge of the house, there was an osmanthus tree, which looked like it was dying, and there were not many leaves on the canopy.
Looking inside, there are rows of houses, as if carved out of a mold, all of them are loess walls and ink tiles, and the beams and trees exposed in the gaps are also rotten and full of wormholes. There is also a swallow's nest under the eaves, and the door is all a wooden door with an iron lock, revealing a big gap, and you can see the appearance inside.
If the economy is better, you can build four houses, leave a patio, plant some flowers and plants, and replace the ground with cement paving. However, most of the people in Liuwan Village are below the poverty line, and the houses are divided into two rooms, with a hall on the outside and a bedroom on the inside. Make a fire to cook and receive guests outside.
The firewood used for cooking here is still firewood, and an iron shelf is piled up at the bottom, and a pot is placed on top of it to be the basic cooking tool. It's not much different from Sun Yuhao's original house in No. 8 Middle School.
The village is full of bluestone roads, which have been polished smooth and translucent over the years, and you have to wear shoes that are not very non-slip to step on, and you can fall on your heels lightly. There are drainage ditches on both sides of the road, and walking in the village, the pungent and choking stench can make people faint.
Most of the first-year high school students participated in the Day of Helping the Lonely and Widowed Elderly for the first time, and many people in the village lost their minds to step on the green, and a few of them couldn't bear to vomit on the side of the wall.
Yu Jun, Sun Yuhao, and Qin Xue were assigned to Grandpa Zou's house in seventy-three households, and walked along the bluestone road to the end and turned a corner, and many chickens and ducks raised by people in the village could be seen leisurely basking in the sun on the road.
Qin Xue covered her mouth and nose, her pretty face was tense, not like Sun Yuhao's indifferent expression. This is definitely the difference between having suffered and not having suffered.
Yu Jun and the three of them came to a closed door, looked at the house number on the top of the door, and confirmed that they were not wrong, before reaching out and knocking on the door.
After a while, the door creaked open, revealing an old man in a blue cloth robe, hunched over. He had a thin and sleek face, a long white beard, a cane made of an osmanthus tree, and a dark blue hat on his head. The spirit is not bad, and a pair of eyes are full of energy, but Yu Jun can't guess his age.
"Grandpa Zou, we are students from No. 2 Middle School, and we have come to visit you." Sun Yu said sweetly.
"Come in, please." Grandpa Zou let go of his grip on the door and smiled.
There were two windows in the room, which was a little dark, but it was still possible. When a guest came, Grandpa Zou wanted to go and get the stool in the corner, but Sun Yuhao hurriedly ran over and held it, wanting to give it to Yu Jun and Qin Xue.
Yu Jun waved his hand and said, "I'll stand, you can sit." "
Grandpa Zou glanced at Sun Yuhao and asked, "Girl, are you from the second middle school?" A few days ago, I read the news that there was a big incident in the second middle school, and there was a little hooligan in the society who wanted to pursue a female student in the second middle school, and found some people to block the school gate, and then let the police arrest them back, and the female student was you, right? "
Sun Yuhao blushed embarrassedly and was embarrassed to admit it, Yu Jun smiled beside him and said, "Old man, your eyesight is very good." "
In fact, as long as he is not blind, he may not be able to pick out one of the tens of millions of people like Sun Yuhao, and he can naturally deduce some things, but what Yu Jun didn't expect is that this old man Zou can still watch the news, and there is not even a TV in the house.
"Hey, I'm old, I can't do it anymore, when I used to fight Japanese devils, I could see clearly on the mountain a mile away." Grandpa Zou waved his hand and smiled.
"Grandpa Zou, have you ever beaten a Japanese devil?" Qin Xue asked with interest.
"I have fought, not only the Japanese devils, but also the Americans." Grandpa Zou smiled.
"Grandpa Zou, tell me about beating the Japanese devils, right?" Qin Xue took Grandpa Zou's hand and said.
"Don't say it, don't say it, it's all in the past." Grandpa Zou's eyes froze before he shook his head and said.
"Isn't the old man married?" Yu Jun leaned against the door panel and asked, watching many students who were unwilling to stay in the village for a long time walk out of the village after completing their tasks.
"You see I live alone, right?" Grandpa Zou rolled his eyelids and said, "My wife died early, and she died when she gave birth to a son who fought the Vietnamese, so I was left alone, alas! "
Sun Yuhao was sad when she heard it, so she gave Yu Jun a look, she knew that this guy had money in his pocket.
Yu Jun saw that Qin Xue also looked over, so he reached out and took out his wallet, counted about two or three thousand, and saw that Grandpa Zou's eyes were glancing over here, so he smiled and said: "Old man, there is not much money, things and money are left for you, live well, ah." "
Out of Grandpa Zou's house, Qin Xue stretched her waist, beat her shoulders with her little hands and said, "It's a pity that I didn't hear the story." "
The next year is the 50th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the TV station has begun to broadcast related dramas, even if the girls who don't like these can't be unaffected.
Sun Yuhao smiled slightly, showed an intoxicating smile and said, "I'm afraid it's a little sad, and the old man doesn't want to mention it." "
Yu Jun nodded and just wanted to speak, when he heard the mobile phone ringing, he took it out to answer it, and hung up the phone after a few minutes and said, "Which of you is willing to accompany me to the capital?" "
