After lunch, most of the people in the village go to the fields to see the growth of the seedlings, and those who have not planted are busy trying to sow all the seeds in the ground in the next few days.

On this day, Zhou Yize took all the educated youths to the village chief's house.

"Aze, why did you come to my house, you can just tell me about something, why did you come all the way here."

Yan Xiaoxi saw Zhou Yize's figure from the window, jumped off the ground happily and ran out, standing in front of him and said.

"No, I'm taking everyone to hand over the mushrooms I have picked in the past few days, there is not enough food in the Zhiqing Point these days, we want to exchange these mushrooms for a little food."

Zhou Yize carried a big one on his left shoulder. The sack, followed by four people also carrying sacks, the bags were full of mushrooms, he walked to the center of the courtyard and put the sack on the ground, then clapped his hands and asked:

"Is the branch secretary at home?"

"In Mile in Mile he is in the house, and I will take you to him."

After finishing speaking, Yan Xiaoxi turned around and entered the house,

Inside the house, the village party secretary was leaning on the quilt stack and smoking the pot, and when he saw him coming, he knocked the cigarette pot on the small bowl where the ashes were placed, then sat up straight and raised his head to look at Zhou Yize, and asked:

"I heard you and Xiaoxi say in the house, you don't have enough food for the youth, so you want to use labor to exchange some food?"

"Yes, we have picked a lot of mushrooms these days, and it just so happens that there is not much food in Zhiqing these days, so we want to use mushrooms for some labor."

"It's not impossible to exchange this food, it's just that Zhou Xiaozi and I explained to you in advance that the grain planted in the second crop is not yet mature, and the grain planted in the first crop is there, but those are ready to be handed in during the New Year, and now the grain that can be exchanged for you is all last year's grain, because of this reason, I can give you a little more, but I don't know if you are willing."

After the village party secretary finished speaking, he picked up the cigarette pot and smoked a cigarette, and the educated youths standing on the ground, you look at me, I look at you, and they don't know what to do.

Later, it was Zhou Yize who spoke, and they exchanged five bags of mushrooms in the yard for more than 100 catties of old grain.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that the first meal of the night made the educated youths complain, and some people even directly confronted him.

"How do these rice smell like this!"

As soon as she took the first bite, a young intellectual, spoke, and then she ran outside the house and spit out the food in her mouth.

At this time, everyone at the dinner table lost their appetite.

"Although this meal is a little unpalatable, but it can fill my stomach, let's eat it quickly, and when I get through this period of time, the new grain in the village will come down, and my life will be a little better."

Liu Jianfang glanced at everyone, opened her mouth and said, and after finishing speaking, she pretended to take a bite with difficulty, and she caught a glimpse of the corners of Zhou Yize's raised mouth, and she was very happy.

"I can't swallow you if I want to eat you." Sun Wei slammed the chopsticks on the table with a "snap", and then kicked it with his foot, and the bench retreated a distance, he clasped his arms with both hands, and complained with a face.

"If you want me to say, this matter is Zhou Yize's mistake, you said that if we put these mushrooms in the town and sell them, are you afraid that the people of the supply and marketing cooperatives will not sell us new grain?"

"You were also present when you exchanged food, why didn't you say it at that time, and now that the food is finished, you only said these words, don't you think it's a little late?"

Tang Xiaohong was a little unhappy when she saw him doing this, and after swallowing the paste in her mouth with difficulty, she retorted.

"Tang Xiaohong, what do you mean it's my fault?"

"I mean, don't blame this or that if you don't have the ability to do it yourself."

"Who do you say is incompetent!"

Sun Wei stood up from his chair with a "Teng" sound. Loud questioning.

"Whoever reacts big, I'll say whom."

Tang Xiaohong didn't eat anymore, and leaned back on the chair with his arms folded.

"Don't think you're a woman, I won't dare beat you."

Sun Wei glared at Tang Xiaohong viciously, and his right hand was clenched into a fist against the table.

"Okay, okay, don't quarrel anymore, since you think the food made of this grain is unpalatable, and you think that the decision I made is incorrect, then okay, you take out your own share of the grain and exchange it with the village party secretary, and sell it in the city yourself, and we will not cook your food in the future."

Zhou Yize had been eating just now and didn't speak, until the paste in the bowl was bottomed out, he stood up and spoke.

As soon as he heard this, the house immediately fell silent, everyone knew that the mountain was the property of the collective in these years, and if anyone picked the mushrooms on the mountain and sold them privately, it would be speculation and would be criticized as a bad element.

Becoming an educated youth in the countryside is already the worst outcome, and no one wants to take this risk to sell things in the city.

The air was quiet for a while, Zhou Yize looked around, and saw that no one was talking, so he opened his mouth to encourage:

"I won't say much about the consequences of this speculation, I believe everyone knows that since no one is willing to take this risk to sell things in the city, then don't talk about this topic anymore in the future, our food is a little unpalatable now, but we must remember that the sins we have suffered are all for the party and the people."

Speaking of this, he looked at it, and there was still no objection among the educated youth, so he stood up and said impassionedly:

"I believe that our motherland and people will not abandon us, and sooner or later we will return to the city and become the pillars of various cities."

After he said these words, the female intellectuals took the lead in applauding, and Sun Wei and their male intellectuals also clapped their hands in special cooperation.

In fact, everyone knows very well in their hearts that the educated youth who came a few years ago are still in the village, and to be honest, there is no possibility of returning to the city. It's just that there is still hope, and they would rather deceive themselves into believing that the country will let them return to the city, rather than believe in the fact that they will live a life of facing the loess and turning their backs to the sky now, or even in the future.

After more than ten days, Mingke's wound was finally healed and he could get up and move on the ground, but it still couldn't be called healed, after all, the injury was a hundred days, and the criminal law of the big head also came down, and he was sentenced to three years in prison, and the police station gave five yuan in compensation in order to comfort the victim.

"That's it, not even a tenth of my hospitalization fee."

Ming Ke took the 5 yuan and pouted in disgust.

"Be content! Don't forget that you used to be a bad element, Brother Wang, they are willing to apply for the 5 yuan for you, also for the sake of you to repair the machine, otherwise, you don't even have the 5 yuan. ”

Amy bent down to clean up the things on the bed, and when he touched the book on the bed, he found it a little wet. So she asked:

"Mingke, did you accidentally spill water on this when you drank water, why does it seem to have water stains on it?"

Mingke turned around and heard her question, and said very unnaturally:

"Well, one day I accidentally touched the wound when I was drinking water, it was very painful, and the jar in my hand jolted a little, maybe it was the water at that time!"

"Oh, that's it! By the way, when we go back today, I settled Niuniu and grandma, how about I take you to Jiangcheng to relax? ”

"Chick, that's good! You know to take me with you when you go out for a walk, but it's still daytime, so you better wait until it's dark before you dream. ”

Ming Ke was particularly faceless and ridiculed.

"Hey, don't you believe me like that? What I'm saying is true. ”

Seeing that the other party didn't believe herself, Amy was so angry that she didn't even make the bed, stood up, turned her head, and said very seriously:

"When has I not done what Amy said?"

She looked like she was blown up, Ming Ke thought it was very interesting, stretched out his hand and touched her hair, and then coaxed:

"Yes, yes, what you Lord Amy said, how can you not be, you are the most powerful person in Mao'er Village, so yes, you better hurry up and clean up, if you miss Uncle Li, you will have to take a patient back to the village on foot."

"Cut, believe it or not, you'll know when the time comes."

As if she had thought of something, Amy turned her head smug and went back to pack her things.

After another hour or so, Amy and Ming Ke came to Uncle Li's ox cart.

As soon as Uncle Li saw them, he stopped smoking the cigarette pot in his mouth, patted Ming Ke on the shoulder, and then said with a smile:

"Mingke, how are you? Oh, I'll just say it! With Amy, the little lucky star, all your disasters and illnesses will pass. ”

"Little Fuxing?" When Ming Ke and Amy heard Uncle Li's words, they looked confused. Even Amy herself didn't know when she got this title, so she asked.

"Yes, didn't I help you send things to Aunt Wang for the first ten days! I just saw that the grandparents and grandchildren were startled, before you went, the grandparents and grandchildren were thin, you have only been there for a few months, Niuniu is fat like a pig in our farmhouse, I went home and talked to the old woman of my family about this matter, it was she and I who said that you are a little lucky star down to earth, but now the top is not allowed to engage in feudal superstition, we can't say it. ”

Speaking of later, Uncle Li also lowered his voice.

Hearing what happened, Amy felt a little embarrassed, but she gave Grandma Wang some more food, and she actually became a lucky star, it was really ......

After a few more conversations, the three of them finally waited for the villagers who were going to ride home in an ox cart together.

Since getting on the ox cart, the smile on Ming Ke's lips has not been broken, making Amy's second monk confused, in order to satisfy her curiosity, she leaned over to Ming Ke's ear and asked:

"What are you thinking, smiling so happily, the smile on your face has not broken all the way."
