After the summer harvest was over, Grandpa Xu took Huanhuan and took a hitchhike to the county seat.

At this time, there were a lot of big-character posters and slogans posted on the walls on the street.

In particular, the propaganda blackboard newspaper column at the door of those units is posted on the inside and outside three layers.

Except for those young men with armbands on their arms, the pedestrians on the street are all hurrying with a strained face, and they will definitely not stay outside for long.

The grandfather and grandson went to the state-run restaurant next to the railway station for dinner, but the state-run hotel was actually closed, and a piece of paper was pasted on the door - "Suspend business and make revolution".

"Zuzu, let's go directly and buy a train ticket, anyway, there is dry food in the baggage." Huan Huan said to Grandpa Xu.

Grandpa Xu nodded and led Duan Huan to leave, "Let's go, hurry up and get in the car and take a rest!" ”

Inside and outside the train station, Wuyang and Wuyang were full of people, most of them young people wearing imitation military uniforms and red armbands.

Don't look at the inside and out, the chest is close to the back, but the ticket window of the train ticket is still very deserted.

The conductor inside heard the sound of Grandpa Xu shouting to buy tickets, so he stopped knitting a sweater in his hand.

"Old comrade, you don't necessarily have a seat if you buy a ticket here!" The conductor didn't immediately take the money and letter of introduction handed over by Grandpa Xu.

"Recently, a lot of student dolls are going to take the train out to do a big tandem, so I'm afraid you won't have a seat when you go up!"

Grandpa Xu smiled and replied, "It's okay, comrade!" Anyway, it's not far, just squeeze and you'll be there! ”

He had long heard that the trains had been basically stuffed with student dolls in tandem recently, and he had already been mentally prepared for not having a seat.

The conductor collected the money and gave the ticket, Grandpa Xu got the ticket, and seeing that the train was about to start, Grandpa Xu hurriedly picked up the joy and squeezed forward.

was carried by Grandpa Xu like this, and she felt uncomfortable, let alone others.

When the grandparents finally squeezed into the car, there was no doubt that there were no seats.

Not only were the seats crowded, but there were people lying under the seats, and some of the young people who were thin and small even lay directly on the luggage racks.

Grandpa Xu finally found a corner with few people in the carriage, and he took out the black-faced steamed buns and military kettles in the baggage.

Then quickly spread the furoshiki on the ground and sat down, and sat on Grandpa Xu's lap.

The grandparents and grandchildren nibbled on the steamed buns with the cold boiled water in the military kettle, and Grandpa Xu specially steamed the black flour steamed buns last night.

Now these young generals are in high spirits, and they will definitely get into trouble if they are red-eyed.

Although black noodles are now considered fine grains, now that the summer harvest has just passed, many rural families will still cook a few meals, so they are not eye-catching.

"Comrade, will you sell me a few of your steamed buns?" A middle-aged man next to him swallowed his saliva and asked Grandpa Xu.

Grandpa Xu didn't raise his eyelids and refused directly: "No!" ”

"Obviously, how many more are there in your little baggage?" The middle-aged man pointed to the small burden on Grandpa Xu's hand.

It is estimated that this person is either hungry and crazy, or has a hole in his brain.

Hundreds of pairs of eyes in this carriage watched, and he dared to openly talk about private business, and properly speculated.

Wan Huan twisted her eyebrows, "This uncle, if you want to speculate, go by yourself, don't drag us into the water!" ”

"When did I get a chance to speculate?" The middle-aged man was surprised when he heard what he said.

Grandpa Xu said with a serious expression: "The state does not allow private transactions to buy and sell anything, and any private transactions are speculative, so I won't sell steamed buns!" ”

Only then did the middle-aged man realize that he had done something stupid, and he hurriedly stood up and slipped away under the pretext of going to the toilet.

But fortunately, the young revolutionary generals in the carriage were talking about their big series, and no one paid attention to the situation in the corner.

Although the train was crowded, the grandfather and grandson arrived in Jincheng smoothly.

On the streets of Jincheng, the situation of big-character posters is much more serious than that of the county seat.

Everywhere the slogan of the big-character poster could be pasted, even on the bus where the grandparents and grandchildren were seated.

As soon as he arrived at the house in Kuanzhai Hutong, Grandpa Xu began to dry the quilt and clean it as usual, and Duan Huan took a small wooden stick and beat the quilt at the gate.

"Huanhuan, you're back!" A black, skinny girl shouted at the end.

If it weren't for those big round eyes, I wouldn't have been able to recognize the female doll in front of me who was as thin as ribs, it was Zhang Huizhen, who was lively and enthusiastic before.

Duan Huan hurriedly pulled her to sit on the bench, "Huizhen, why have you lost weight again?" ”

"I'm getting to the age of getting bigger, and I look like I'm going to get thinner!" Hye-jin waved her chicken-pawed hand and said disapprerovingly.

Duan Huan felt even more sad when she looked like this, "You are too thin, you eat more food every day!" ”

As he spoke, he took out two white rabbit toffees from the small satchel he carried, peeled one off and stuffed it to Huizhen, and then ate one himself.

"Are you also out of class?" Ask Huizhen as much as you want.

Huizhen's smile was very sour, "It doesn't make any difference to me if I don't stop classes, anyway, I'm in the fifth grade, and my mother is not ready to let me go to school anymore!" ”

"You haven't graduated from elementary school now, and the factory recruits workers, and you can't be your age, you can't do housework at home every day?" Wan Huan asked a little anxiously.

Huizhen patted Duan Huan's hand, "Anyway, I haven't gone to school now, so I'll do housework at home and make a matchbox to make a living!" ”

"Don't be so melon, pick out the money from the matchbox and save it yourself, don't hand it all over to your mother, otherwise there will be no one in your hand to support it!" Wan Huan sighed.

Huizhen was also a little resentful at this time, "Where do I have the opportunity to pick out the money, every time I settle the manual fee, my mother will collect it, and I can't get a penny!" ”

"Where's your dad? Doesn't care about you? "My eyebrows are about to be broken.

Huizhen shook her head and smiled helplessly, "My dad? I can't count on it, and now I'm quarreling with my mother for the sake of my uncle's youngest son! ”

"Regardless of whether you pass your stepson or not, your father is an intellectual, he must still let you study, otherwise she will lose face if you don't go, and you have good grades!" Duan Huan squeezed Hui Zhen's hand and comforted.

Hye-jin sneered at this time, and her expression became indifferent.

"Count on my dad, I might as well count on pie in the sky! Even he thinks that my little brother is not angry when he is born, and he was restrained by me!

I've already figured out that in two more years, I'll be a soldier when I'm old, and if I can't become a soldier, I'll join the Iron Maiden team! ”

"I'm in favor of being a soldier, Iron Maiden still forget it, if you're not careful, you'll be sick, what will you do when the time comes?" Huan hurriedly prepares to dispel Hye-jin's idea of becoming an iron girl.

Huizhen looked at the anxious appearance of the monkey and smiled:

"I'm not old enough now, old enough for me to run early, even if I die of exhaustion from building embankments and dams, it's better than being ridiculed and ridiculed by my mother every day at home!"

Her eyes were sour when she heard these words, and her voice was astringent.

"Hye-jin! You must listen to me in this matter, go to be a soldier and learn a skill,

Whether it is a medical soldier, a communication soldier, a literary or artistic soldier, even if he is discharged from the army, the state will arrange it, and the Iron Maiden team really can't go! ”

Huizhen looked at Duan Huan with a bitter look, reached out and pinched both of Duan Huan's cheeks and smiled:

"We look like we're going to be a little housekeeper in the future, okay! Listen to you, I will definitely write to you when the time comes! ”

Listening to the tone of Huizhen's words, she knew that she was perfunctory.
