Chapter 212: Wishful thinking

Although the intellectuals packed their things, they quickly made their mattresses and packed their luggage.

The main reason is that they don't have much luggage, even if they are the stinky Gao Peng and Wu Xiaoyan, they have one more pair of leather shoes and two clothes than other educated youths.

After all, under the planned economic system, materials are purchased by ticket, and no matter how strong the material desire is, it can only be held back.

What surprised Duan Huan was Chen Yuejin, who brought a rattan box full of books.

When he opened the box, he was ridiculed by Wu Xiaoyan and Gao Peng.

They said that Chen Yuejin was a nerd, and he had come to the countryside to dig land and become a farmer, so what kind of motivated intellectual youth was he pretending to be?

Chen Yuejin was not angry when he was ridiculed, and said with a very good temper that these books were saved by him with pocket money for many years.

He was reluctant to leave his books at home, and thought about going to the countryside to pass the time when the farm was slack.

Duan Huan has a little more appreciation for Chen Yuejin, no matter what, loving reading is always a good thing.

Moreover, Chen Yuejin is cheerful and easy-going, not like the kind of intellectual youth who loves to drill the horns, with an open-minded mind and an easy-going personality, and the future achievements of such people are often not bad.

After everyone had cleaned up, Lu Xiao asked them to take a look around the village so that they could get acquainted with the environment in the future.

The educated youths all agreed with Lu Xiao's decision, except for Wu Xiaoyan, who was sitting on the bed and screaming about pain in her feet.

Wu Xiaoyan was wearing a pair of leather shoes with low thick heels, and the position of the head of the leather shoes was still a little pointed, and it was not normal for her feet to be painful.

However, other educated youths couldn't take care of the squeamish Wu Xiaoyan, so they let her stay alone, and the rest of the people went out with Duhuan.

According to the daily needs of the villagers in the village, Duan Huan took them around the village.

The mill for grinding rice, the water barrier for washing clothes, the fields in the village, and the path to pick mushrooms and wild vegetables in the shallow mountains were all pointed out to them.

After introducing these places, it was basically dark.

The big pot of dishes on the drying field is also ready, and I am happy to let the educated youths go back to get lunch boxes and chopsticks, and come out to eat with everyone.

There were a total of eight large wild boars, and the internal organs alone were a lot of them, and they were stewed in three large pots, and they were all full of meat.

Zhang Qiugui came out with the rice retort at home, served a big bowl of dried red rice to the educated youth, and asked Duan Huan to take them to the cauldron to serve vegetables.

In the afternoon, when Zhang Qiugui was cooking, Xu Jiajun instructed her to eat a little more rice and bring out the evening dinner of the educated youth.

On the edge of the cauldron is Xu Jiajun's third daughter-in-law Zhang Xiaomei, and Xu Qiuhe's mother Li Fanghua.

"The popularity of our little fish is good, so you will get acquainted with these city babies in a while?" Zhang Xiaomei smiled and talked to Duan Huan.

He smiled and said, "Third sister-in-law, they just came and couldn't understand our dialect here, so Uncle Jia asked me to help bring it!" ”

"If you want me to say that they are really lucky today, they will have meat to eat on the first day!" The meaning of injustice beyond Zhang Xiaomei's words is obvious.

When educated youths go to the countryside and their household registration falls in the village, they must share the village's rations.

Zhang Xiaomei, as the daughter-in-law of the village party secretary, sees it very clearly under the influence of her ears and eyes, so it is normal to complain.

Li Fanghua smiled and continued, "The city baby also has the benefits of the city baby, Xiaomei, maybe there are your future brothers and daughters-in-law in this group of city babies!" ”

"Sister-in-law, don't talk nonsense, I still have my in-laws and sisters-in-law with Xiang Jun, and Xiang Min's marriage is not my turn to be the master!" Zhang Xiaomei hurriedly said.

Li Fanghua was stunned, "Look at you, didn't I mean to laugh, I just think that Xiang Min is now a soldier, and it is suitable to match a girl in the city!" ”

"Xiang Min's marriage can't be decided by my in-laws alone, I heard that the soldier is looking for his mother-in-law, and the army will review it!" Zhang Xiaomei said happily.

Li Fanghua smiled and didn't speak again, feeling very uncomfortable in her heart.

She sighed that her eldest son Chunsheng was so smart and capable, why was he brushed off because of myopia when he first inspected the army?

If Chunsheng becomes a soldier, not to mention these educated youths who go to the countryside, or the female children of those cadre families, it is estimated that they will all rush to marry Chunsheng.

However, Li Fanghua thought about it again, it is indeed impossible to have a female child in a cadre family now, and these female intellectuals still have a play.

Xu Chunsheng has not found a job until now, and in six or six years, he followed the son of the director of the county revolutionary committee.

At that time, Li Fanghua also felt that Xu Chunsheng had the ability, and he had a sense of accomplishment.

However, I didn't expect that more than a year later, the director of the county revolutionary committee was replaced, and Xu Chunsheng was beaten back to his original form, so he had to go home in disgrace.

After Xu Chunsheng went home, Li Fanghua's original plan was to tell Xu Chunsheng about family affairs.

thought that when Xu Chunsheng got married, he would be able to settle down and live a good life.

Most of the girls Li Fanghua picked were simple and capable, and Xu Chunsheng couldn't look down on them at all, so he wanted to find a city girl who ate commercial grain and was educated.

But the girl in the city, how can she look at Xu Chunsheng, who has no money, no job, and average appearance?

Xu Chunsheng, who is not high or low, has been married for several years.

Now the pro-matchmakers in several villages near and far will avoid Li Fanghua when they see him.

The simple and virtuous female babies they introduced were all rejected by Xu Chunsheng.

Xu Chunsheng was delusional, and the kind of girl in the city who was looking for a job, education and virtuous person couldn't look down on Xu Chunsheng at a glance.

But every time Li Fanghua found them, she was pitiful with tears, and her humble attitude of apologizing and saying good things made them really unbearable.

There are more times like this, and the matchmakers who say they are close to each other will avoid Li Fanghua and leave.

Li Fanghua's eyes swirled back and forth between Li Xiuzhu, Wu Xiaoyan and Wang Qian, observing which girl was suitable to marry back to her eldest son as a daughter-in-law.

Seeing that she was stunned, her hand shook in front of her, "What is Sister-in-law Fanghua thinking?" So fascinating? ”

"No, nothing?" Li Fanghua came back to her senses and took the bowl in Duan Huan's hand, "Xiao Yu'er, you are familiar with these city dolls, which girl has a good temper?" ”

"Sister-in-law Fanghua, I just led them to familiarize themselves with the situation in the village, as for their temper and character, I can't say good!" Wan Huan shook his head.

Li Fanghua heard what she said, and she gave up inquiring, she thought that in the future, these city babies would follow the ground anyway, and there would be opportunities in the future.

The people in the village are not particular about eating, they can find a place at random with a bowl, they can eat while squatting and standing, and they all eat with oily corners of their mouths and happy expressions.

But the young people are from the city, and they are still very unaccustomed to such a way of standing and squatting, eating and chatting at the same time.

Wu Xiaoyan and Gao Peng's disdain was immediately shown in their faces, and they turned around with bowls and went back to the big canteen, which is now the courtyard of educated youth.

Wang Qian may have been a little embarrassed by the villagers, and her face flushed and she followed.

The remaining three people followed the customs of the locals, and their adaptability was good, and they stayed under the scrutiny of the villagers.

Lu Xiao and Chen Yuejin took the bowl, approached the circle of the militia, and chatted with the chickens and ducks.

Li Xiuzhu followed behind Duan Huan, greeted Qiu Yue, Xia Miao, and Chaomei Chao Soda, and soon became harmonious with everyone.
