Chapter 36: Leave Something Behind

It's winter, and there's not much farm work, but at this time, water conservancy is being overhauled all over the country, and objectively speaking, the past decade has not been all bad, at least many of these water conservancy projects have been in use until much later.

After last night's meeting, Shen Long invisibly became the leader of these ten educated youths, and took them to Bai Mingchuan early in the morning and asked them to arrange for them to work.

After a few polite sentences, Bai Mingchuan took them to the construction site, seven female intellectuals followed the women's director to do some light work such as cooking, and the remaining three followed the production captain Bai Guangliang to dig and transport soil.

"You are all babies from the city, I'm afraid you haven't done much rough work, don't use your dead strength when you come up, follow my example." Bai Guangliang took the hoe to demonstrate to them, and when he turned around, his eyes lit up, "Yo, you are an expert in this offspring, and you have done it before?" ”

Not to mention, I was tossed by the turtle immortals at the beginning, Shen Long smiled honestly, and with Li Kuiyong's honest face, the surrounding villagers felt very kind, "I haven't learned, it's Captain Bai who taught me well!" ”

He not only did it himself, but also helped Hu Jianjun and Jiang Shaoan adjust their movements, Bai Guangliang has been holding a hoe for decades, he can do it or not, Shen Long can do it and say it, and soon these two will also do it well, and the villagers next to him gave a thumbs up, and praised the three of them for being good offspring.

The peasants are actually very simple, and at the beginning they may have felt a little uncomfortable sharing rations with ten more people in the village, but now they see that these dolls are not squeamish at all, and are willing to work with them, and the resentment in their hearts has also dissipated.

After working for a while, when he was resting, Shen Long also sat down on the hoe handle like them, took out the big front door and scattered it, "I'm gone after smoking, I'm afraid I'll have to ask you for dry tobacco in the future." ”

"You're a descendant, haven't you? I'll find you a cigarette pouch and pot when I go back, and I'll grab tobacco leaves for you if I want to smoke it. Compared with those sneaky and slippery educated youths in other villages, the more Bai Guangliang looked at Shen Long, the more satisfied he became, just a moment ago, Shen Long worked more than the two strong laborers in the village, but unfortunately he was not from Baidian Village, otherwise with this strength, Bai Guangliang would be willing to marry his daughter to Shen Long.

Everyone gossiped while smoking dry cigarettes, except for Bai Guangliang, most of the people present were young students, and young students gathered together to talk about women, and there were no outsiders on the side at this time, they joked more than one meat, and some deliberately found them to tease a few young people in the city.

Hu Jianjun and Jiang Shaoan blushed, but Shen Long began to fight back, he looked at Bai Xiwa, the one who made the most trouble just now, so he remembered a joke he had seen, "Just listen to what you said, I'll tell you one too; It is said that there is a descendant in the village called Xidan, one day Xidan's wife saw that Xidan's was not there, so she went to her father-in-law's house to find him, and when she entered the door, she saw that her father-in-law was washing her hair, so she asked, Dad, Xidan? The father-in-law glanced at it and didn't say anything, and the happy egg's wife thought he hadn't heard, and asked again, Dad, happy egg? The public and public horses are on fire, wash the eggs? I'm going to wash it in a while! ”

"Hahahaha!" Everyone understood in seconds, watching Bai Xiwa smile forward and backward, since then, everyone no longer dared to joke with Shen Long and them, for fear of getting into trouble for themselves, as for Bai Xiwa, many people began to call him happy.

At noon, a meal was eaten on the construction site, after the casual workers, everyone returned to the cave and began to cook by themselves, the village gave some sorghum, corn and other coarse grains, at most add some potatoes and radishes as vegetables, but Shen Long's craftsmanship was not given in vain, and the simple dishes also made him very extraordinary.

Hu Jianjun was stunned for a moment, "When is the sorghum noodles so delicious?" ”

"It's not that sorghum is delicious, it's Kuiyong's craftsmanship." Qin Ling pursed his lips and smiled, "This is a bad thing, I'm afraid your taste will be raised by Kui Yong, don't be too unpalatable when it's my turn to cook in the future." ”

After eating, Jiang Shaoan and Hu Jianjun took the initiative to take over the work of washing the dishes, Qin Ling came to Shen Long to borrow books, Shen Long opened the box, and took out a copy of "Paustovsky Anthology" from under a pile of "Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry Self-study Textbooks" and handed it to Qin Ling, "Here, I think this book is good, his works are not as full of suffering as other Soviet writers, full of romanticism, full of fantasy, our current life is miserable enough, and it is not bad to look at his works occasionally." ”

This is still Shen Long turned out of the scrap recycling station, and he doesn't like the popular works full of revolutionary struggle spirit, but this book is more in line with his taste, so he brought it to northern Shaanxi to pass the time, with his understanding of Qinling, he thinks Qinling will probably like it too.

"I don't see it, you still like this kind of book?" Qin Ling was a little surprised, Li Kuiyong's face didn't look like a person who loved to read, and his dress was different from that of those cadres, generally speaking, this kind of person usually can't come into contact with this type of book, let alone like it.

"Reading is always useful, don't look at the fact that all schools are closed now, but a country still needs knowledge." Shen Long avoided talking about it, but picked up a copy of "Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry Self-study Textbook", "It's still early to come back from work every day, it's too wasteful to go to bed directly, you go back and ask anyone who wants to learn, let's learn by ourselves together." ”

"Okay, I'll go!" Qin Ling went back, and when she walked to the mouth of the cave, she couldn't help but glance back at Shen Long, she felt that the man in front of her was different from everyone she had come into contact with before, she was born in a scholarly family, and she knew a lot of intellectuals, but those intellectuals always loved to hold it, and it was difficult to sink down and mingle with the peasants, and the children from ordinary poor people were not as far-reaching as he did.

After asking again, Hu Jianjun and Sun Xiaoxia, Liu Ying, and Wang Liping want to continue studying, and the remaining few were disgusted with hard work in school, but now that they are finally free, who is willing to continue to work hard?

Shen Long is not reluctant, a person's fate is still responsible for himself after all.

After more than half a month like this, Shen Long and the villagers in Baidian Village got acquainted, and they were also familiar with Bai Guangliang and Bai Mingchuan, he felt that the time was about the same, so he found Bai Mingchuan, "Branch secretary, let me ask something, why don't we run the school in our village?" These days, I see the dolls running around the village one by one. ”

"There is no money in the village, so I can't afford it." Bai Mingchuan said while smoking a dry cigarette.

"Branch secretary, do you think this will be successful? Aren't there two broken caves next to where we live? Packed up and made into a classroom, several educated youths took turns to teach the children. "I have to stay in Baidian Village for several years, and I should leave something for the village.
