Go to the county seat

The fourth master's momentary emotion also made him know the importance of knowledge, so when he proposed to go to the county seat, everyone was shocked.

The fourth master said that he was just going to take a look, and he would come back in a few days, wanting to go to the school to see the exam.

Only then did everyone understand, and they thought that he was going to the county to do something, but Old Man Yang glanced at him and nodded, but didn't say anything. Yang Dabao secretly stuffed him with 5 yuan and asked him to buy some delicious food outside.

Seeing that the family agreed, the fourth master went to the village chief, saying that he wanted to go to the county school to see if there were any books that were not used, and to bring them back to prepare materials for the children, and planned to go to the recycling station to see.

The village chief was very happy when he found out, and he was counted as his work for a few days, not as a leave, because he was on a business trip for the commune, and he should have a work score.

Shizuka also pestered her family after she found out, saying that she wanted to go with the fourth master, Cheng Zhiming disagreed, and in the end, the fourth master came over in person and said that it was a business trip, and the village chief gave the work, and the two of them were half of each other.

Shizuka happily left with the fourth master in the reluctant eyes of her family.

"This girl is a girl who forgets her mother when she has a husband, she is really unfilial." Cheng Zhiming looked at Wang Junlan aggrievedly and said.

Wang Junlan nodded her forehead and said, "You, you're still scheming with Nannan, you are her mother, she won't forget you, you see, she will bring you good things back." ”

Old Man Ye also nodded: "Yes, just now her father secretly stuffed her money, and he got 1,000 yuan for selling ginseng that time, and the two families also had money, so don't worry about them." ”

The fourth master and Shizuka stood at the entrance of the village and waited for the bus that day, waited for three hours, just when Shizuka's legs were about to stand numb, the car finally arrived, very shabby, very noisy, and there were many people crowded inside, due to the drought here, lack of water, many people have not taken a bath, the weather is hot, and the slow strong smell of Han is mixed with the rancid smell of not taking a bath, filling the entire carriage, and now it is almost noon and no one wants to get off. Shizuka and the fourth master stood at the door and pulled the handrail of the door, the fourth master tightly surrounded Shizuka and stood outside, so that Shizuka stood in his arms, the door couldn't be closed at all, and the smell was not as strong as inside, but the dust was very large, and after a while, Shizuka and the fourth master were covered with dust.

Shizuka saw that the fourth master was almost thrown out several times, so she felt distressed and shouted to the people inside: "You guys go inside, we are all about to fall, if there is a murder, you will all go to prison." ”

As soon as everyone heard that they were going to prison, they squeezed into the car, and finally let the fourth master not have to float out of the door, but it was no better.

Fortunately, after one and a half hours, they arrived at the county bus station, and after asking the driver for the time and place of the car, they went to the county hand in hand.

Shizuka has never seen a small county town in the sixties, just like in the old movies. There are no buildings, a bungalow with a water, and the house in their village is almost the same, but the materials are different, some people in the village can't afford to buy red bricks, they use a mix of big stones and wood, here are all red bricks, some of the colors have fallen, that should be living for a long time.

The streets are still relatively clean and tidy, and I didn't see the vegetable sellers, so I guess there should be a special point. There are not many small shops, and there is no lively scene.

Shizuka didn't want to look at it after looking at it twice, she pulled the fourth master and kept walking forward, because she saw a house with a guest house written on it, and there was a restaurant next to it.

Shizuka pulled the fourth master into the guest house, there was a woman in it who was playing a sweater, and when she heard someone coming in, she didn't look up, she still lowered her head and said while playing a sweater: "2 yuan for a room for one person, 5 yuan for a double room, hot water is provided at night, and dinner is next door." ”

Shizuka said that she wanted a double room, and the woman said, "The double room will take out the marriage certificate and the letter of introduction, and I will return it to you after registration." ”

Shizuka hears that she still needs a marriage certificate and a letter of introduction to live, so what should she do?

At this time, the fourth master took out the letter of introduction, Shizuka smiled happily when she saw it, the fourth master was well prepared.

The woman looked up and saw that they were two small teenagers, one of whom was wearing a navy blue tunic coat, although it had been a long time, the leader of the dress had a hairy edge, which should be the kind issued by the school. The lines on his face are cold, his eyes are very energetic, and his thin lips are pursed. One was wearing a dark orange striped shirt, with two small braids, and his hair was neatly combed and free of stray hair. A round and cute little face, big eyes, looking at you fluttering. It's just that the two of them are covered with dust, and they look very disgraced.

But the hands of the two children are very clean and tidy, there is no smell on their bodies, the boy looks very thin, and the girl is the same as the little girl in the city, it seems that the girl is very favored at home, after all, there are very few girls who can grow so good-looking in such an era of lack of food and clothing. So she frowned and asked, "Is she 15 years old?" Who are you? Does your family know that you are out on an errand? ”

The fourth master nodded very seriously and said: "Comrade, this is my sister, we are members of the Red Flag Commune, this time we came out to find some books for the children, we are going to my school to ask for some books and desks that are not used in school."

My sister came to help me, she is 15 years old this year, the grade is too young, and you can also see, the family takes care of her very much, this time out, so we want to live in a double room, otherwise it is not good to take care of, we will stay for one night. ”

When the woman heard that she was looking for books for her children to study, she had a good impression of the fourth master. He nodded and said, "Okay, but I can only stay for one night, after all, girls, even if they are their own brothers, they must pay attention." ”

"Thank you, big sister, I will."

The woman said: "My surname is Li, you can call me Sister Li, the Yangchun noodles next door are good and cheap." ”

"Thank you, Sister Li. Let's wash up and go to dinner. ”

Shizuka looked up at the clock on the counter, it was already more than 2 o'clock in the afternoon, she was starving, and she wanted to come to the fourth master, just after Sister Li registered, she picked up the key she handed over and rushed up.

The fourth master hurriedly followed, shouting: "Be careful, you are still so reckless, you will fall down in a while, and you will cry again." ”

Shizuka turned her head and stuck out her little tongue, making a strange appearance, and Sister Li watched them go up, smiling and shaking her head.

The fourth master grabbed her out of sight around the corner and said, "You don't know what number it is, do you?" Just moving forward? I'm not afraid to go into the wrong person's room. ”

Shizuka smiled and said, "Brother, tell me where we live." ”

The fourth master pulled the key in her hand and walked forward, came to room 203, and opened the door.

Shizuka stretched out her head and saw that there were two beds, a bedside table in the middle, and a table and chairs. There is a washroom next to the door where you can take a shower, and Shizuka is happy when she sees the shower.

The fourth master has never seen it, but it's not good to ask Shizuka about everything, so he will study it himself.

By the time they washed up, it was already 4 o'clock in the afternoon, but fortunately Shizuka and the fourth master ate some pastries in the room first, otherwise they would have starved to death.

The sun is not strong at this point, Shizuka pulled the fourth master into the restaurant, Shizuka found that there were more people eating noodles in it, and fewer people eating dishes, of course, there were also eating dishes.

Shizuka didn't want to eat noodles, she wanted to try the food here, and the fourth master looked at her dotingly and nodded and called the waiter.

"What do you two want to eat?"

"What do you have here to eat?"

"Hehehe, comrade said that it was funny, this disaster year has not completely passed, and the farmers have not yet grown grain, what can they eat? Our small shop only has staple steamed buns, wotou, high-grain rice, noodles, and dishes are spicy cabbage, pork bone soup, stir-fried cabbage, pork stewed potatoes. What do you want to eat? ”

Shizuka ordered pork stewed potatoes and steamed buns with a portion of pork bone broth. The waiter saw that the two of them ordered a big dish and sent a plate of peanuts, Shizuka nodded and said it was delicious, and the fourth master saw that the people around him were looking at them with envious eyes.

The fourth master has been paying attention to the people around him, fortunately, the current people are very simple, and there are no evil people.

Half an hour later, the vegetables and steamed buns came, and Shizuka saw that the white and fat fat pork was mixed with the greasy and white potatoes, and the bowl of pork bone soup, where were the pork bones? There is only soup, not pork bone broth with oil and two cabbages.

How to eat this? Shizuka used chopsticks for half a day, but she couldn't get her hands on it, and the fourth master didn't change color and put the potatoes in his mouth, chewed them, nodded and said, "It doesn't look good, but it tastes good." ”

Shizuka saw that the fourth master ate quite well, it shouldn't be unpalatable, so she was heartbroken, and she also put a chopstick in her mouth, and immediately wanted to spit it out, but the fourth master swallowed it without changing his face.

Shizuka had no choice but to lower her head and chew desperately, swallowing what was in her mouth. After eating what was in her mouth, she didn't move her chopsticks, but just picked up the big white steamed bun and ate it in small bites.

Shizuka ate steamed buns with peanuts and rice, drank a bowl of pork bone soup, and the fourth master ate steamed buns for a long time, kept half of them, and drank the soup.

The fourth master felt that he was overwhelmed, so he called the waiter to settle the bill, and ate 2 yuan and 2 dimes for a meal. The fourth master paid the money and pulled Shizuka out of the restaurant, found a corner and spit it out.

Shizuka felt sorry for him, patted him on the back, pulled him up and wiped the corners of his mouth, and asked, "Why do you force yourself to finish eating when you know it's unpalatable?" Eat whatever you want. ”

The fourth master's face was a little pale, and he leaned against the wall weakly and said, "Don't you see what those people think of us?" If we don't finish eating, we will definitely not be able to come out safely, this disaster year has not passed, where can food be wasted? Their craftsmanship is definitely not as good as yours, you don't want to come out to eat in the future, if people see what you eat, when the time comes to start exercising, you can't say clearly, but you also have to pretend to be open, endure hardships, I will accompany you.

I've eaten a lot of delicacies from the mountains and seas before, so let's try this pork stew with potatoes in the future, hehehe. ”
