Chapter 23: The First Descent into the Ground
As soon as she and Zhang Wanli left, several educated youths were unwilling, and they had to bow to reality, discuss for a while, and then follow with their luggage.
It's like Lev. Tolstoy said: Happy families are all the same, and unhappy families have their own misfortunes.
Most of the educated youths who can go to the countryside have their own hardships.
Following Zhang Wanli to climb up the dragon slope, everyone was so tired that they were out of breath and their feet were trembling.
On the contrary, it was Su Xintang, who shared most of the burden by Zhang Wanli, and he carried a small bag of clothes, which was naturally relaxed. Climbing up the mountain, two faint blush appeared on her cheeks, which made her snow-like skin even whiter and more charming, making people unable to take their eyes off it at a glance.
She fanned the wind with her hand, and the sky here was so blue, covered with green gauze tents, connected with the rolling mountains, and there was no end in sight.
There are also many adobe grass houses, which are scattered in the green sea.
"What are you shouting? Educated youths go to the countryside in response to the call of the party and the state to experience life, not to have fun. ”
Zhang Wanli stared at Ruan Mi'er who was tired in warning.
When he went up the mountain, he gave people a different feeling, and his waist straightened when he spoke: "Now allocate a place to live, you three male comrades live in one room, Xiao Su and Xiao Ruan will squeeze together with the female intellectuals." Pack up and get ready for work tomorrow. ”
Several people did not dare to speak.
Only then did he nod at Su Xintang, "Xiao Su, Xiao Ruan, you come with me." ”
The accommodation arranged is a storage room for the temporary residence of educated youth.
The place where the storage room used to be a mass grave, and after the "four olds" were destroyed, two rows of houses were bulldozed and built on it, which is the origin of the storage room. The storage room stores grain and agricultural products. Later, when food became scarce in the village, most of them were vacant except for the harvest days. The extra rooms were given to the educated youths in the countryside who had nowhere to live.
Their room was at the end of the storage room.
"This is Wang Min and Liu Zhaodi, from today on, Xiao Su and Xiao Ruan will live with you. We are all revolutionary comrades, remember to care for each other, unite and love each other. Especially you, Liu Zhaodi! ”
Zhang Wanli seems to be prejudiced against Liu Zhaodi, emphasizing emphasis.
Liu Zhaodi nestled on the bed knitting sweaters, lukewarm, and didn't even bother the two of them.
Wang Min was very enthusiastic about the two, helping to carry things and help clean up the bed, "Comrade Zhang, rest assured, we will take good care of the two revolutionary comrades, in the future, we should ride Longpo lively!" ”
She and Liu Zhaodi occupied the lower bunk of the marching bed on the left and the right, Su Xintang glanced at the indifferent Liu Zhaodi, and silently moved her luggage to the upper bunk.
"That's ......"
Seeing that Liu Zhaodi was unmoved, Zhang Wanli furrowed his eyebrows, and when he left, he specially explained: "Tonight, the village will hold a welcome party to pick you up and wash the dust." The main thing is that there is meat, you remember to participate! ”
Hearing the division of meat, everyone perked up, "I know, we will definitely participate." ”
"Wang Min, right? Thank you, my name is Mier Nguyen. ”
As soon as Zhang Wanli left, Ruan Mi'er changed the dullness on the road and took the initiative to introduce: "I have just arrived, if you don't do well or don't do it right, you can take care of it." ”
"Hmph, fake look."
Wang Min didn't have time to speak, and Liu Zhaodi, who was lying on the bed, was the first to choke.
The atmosphere of the scene was frozen.
"Zhao Di has been in a bad mood for the past two days, don't worry." Wang Min saw the opportunity quickly and hurriedly played a round.
"It's fine."
Ruan Mi'er's face changed, but she still smiled reluctantly.
Accustomed to strong winds and waves, Su Xintang naturally would not take such pediatric difficulties to heart.
Wang Min was very talkative, and told the two of them all the things that needed attention, and also emphasized the importance of the roll call and the recording of work points. Once you miss that point, you will either fly for a day or you will have to go hungry......
A crisp bell suddenly sounded in the village, and Liu Zhaodi, who had been lying down without moving her nest, moved!
Stuffing the wool into the cabinet, he seemed to be uneasy, and locked two locks on it before leaving the room by himself.
"The village must ring the bell to divide the meat, let's go quickly."
"Okay, let's go."
I have to say that Ruan Mi'er would have deceived her in her last life, and she still has two brushes. Not only can he give up his face, but he is also thick-skinned enough, and he has only been riding Longpo for half a day, and he has become a fight with Wang Min.
On the way, Wang Min talked about the reason for the incident.
During this period, the seedlings were cultivated in a unified manner, and the cereals were soaked in warm water first, and then the grains were put into the large bamboo weaving and tiled, and put into the seedling room to promote germination. The seedling room is guarded by a special person, and when the temperature drops, it needs to be heated by a fire. To put it simply, it is a simple version of the greenhouse.
"Some time ago, there was a mistake in the storage room, the temperature was not well controlled, and a large area of the seedlings was burned out. Therefore, Liu Zhaodi was a little unhappy in her heart. Later, there were not enough seedlings, so the team had to go outside to buy seedlings at a high price and come back to replant...... "If you miss the busy farming season, you can't complete the tasks assigned above, and everyone has to go hungry."
During this period, people always had the deepest craving for food.
This craving is not real hunger, but a backlash from long-term restraint from the lack of food with nothing open.
Diligence and thrift are the virtues left by people after the Great Famine. As long as you can survive, you can save it. The surplus grain in the production team was taken away for free, and the little ration left behind made everyone subconsciously tighten their belts and prepare for the next possible famine!
Under such prerequisites, food becomes more and more precious, and there is not much food to be distributed to individuals, and the opportunity to eat meat is even more limited.
Su Xintang and the others came late, so they had to be at the end.
In the black and oppressive flock, a golden phoenix suddenly fell in, and the noisy scene was clear!
Everyone brushed their heads together, and their eyes moved with Su Xintang's movements.
Completely lost the ability to react.
"Ahem, ahem!"
Zhang Wanmin, the captain of the production team, coughed heavily a few times before recalling everyone's attention: "What are you doing in a daze?" Is this not a desire to eat meat anymore? Walk fast, walk fast. ”
When the crowd moved, he walked up to Su Xintang: "You are Comrade Su who just went to the countryside to support rural construction and experience rural life, right?" I am Zhang Wanmin, the village chief who rides Longpo, and Zhang Wanli is my brother. ”
"Hello Village Chief Zhang, please give me a lot of advice."
Su Xintang smiled at him.
This smile is like a spring breeze, peonies are in full bloom, and a gasping sound is heard around. Everyone's eyes were fixed on Su Xintang, and they couldn't take their eyes off it at all.
"This, Comrade Su, it's the first time you come to ride Longpo, if there is something you don't understand or something you can't understand, just come to me."
"Thank you, village chief, I remember."
Su Xintang should go down.
