Chapter 14 A New Beginning, the Life of Educated Youth

A pot of soup was cleaned up by the three of us, licking the corners of our mouths, and we couldn't get enough of it. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Old Master Zou, didn't you say that life in the countryside is hard, and you can't get enough to eat! According to your way of eating, it's a fairy day! "When Huang Biao was full, his mouth began to croak.

"The babies don't know, we also rely on this mountain to live a better life, but the food is still not enough to eat, every year before the winter is hungry for a period of time, just wait until the winter hunting!" Lao Zou copied out the smoking pot and pointed to the piece of dried meat hanging on it, "No, this is the dried meat made from last winter's hunting!" ”

After asking for something that didn't touch, Lao Zou made some dry straw and spread it on the ground, and let us lie on it, and shook off the bear skin, and covered us with a quilt. He took off his jacket himself, wrapped it around himself, and snored in a short time against the corner.

The soft scent of rice, I slept sweetly that night.

Lao Zou is right, such a day, after two days, the next day when the sun was about to set, Lao Zou pointed to the crack between the two trees and touched it, and said to us, hey, rabbit, now there is fresh meat to eat at night.

Our brother was confused, why did he eat rabbit meat? Can the rabbit run into our bowl on its own?

Lao Zou smiled proudly, "It's really just running into our bowl by itself!" ”

Naturally, we didn't believe it, but Lao Zou took out a half-meter-long rope from his body, tied it in a circle, and tied it to the tree at both ends, and the coil was in the middle of the tree.

That's it? Lao Zou saw that we were still puzzled, so he explained, this rabbit passed through the middle, and when it hit its head, the coil followed, and when the time came, it could not retreat or enter, and it did not obediently run into our bowl.

It's so fresh, but is that rabbit so stupid? Our brother listened interestingly, but he still didn't believe it.

Lao Zou said, wait, let's rest in the stone room now, as soon as the sky falls, the rabbit will come back from foraging, and it will be done.

Wait until it gets dark, Lao Zou said to go and see, we hurriedly followed, all the way nervously followed, to the place, take a closer look at a black thing is struggling, Lao Zou went up and pulled up, this spring rabbit, hey, it's really fat.

Lao Zou Mali peeled the skin, roasted it in a circle on the fire, smeared it with salt water and sprinkled with cumin, and didn't want anything else, the outside was charred and the inside was tender, it melted in the mouth, and it tasted good, you can't forget it for the rest of your life.

Our brothers were eating, and they said to Lao Zou vigorously, "Old Zou, you are really a god!" We're all right! ”

Lao Zou laughed, just said, "Babies, eat hard, and after eating, I'll make you a pot of mushroom soup, and go to the oil!" ”

After two nights in the barren mountains and mountains, finally the next afternoon, Lao Zou pointed to a few houses that were faintly visible from afar, "Babies, let's Tunzi has arrived!" ”

Gong Niutun is not large, with a total of 38 households. Lao Zou is the village head. There is also a branch book, and our rations are in the hands of that branch secretary.

When he arrived at Tunzikou, Lao Zou Ye shouted, "Folks, the educated youth from Beijing who came to study with us are here!" ”

After a stunned effort, there were 100 people gathered at the entrance of the village, men, women and children, looking at our brothers like big girls.

The brothers are embarrassed.

"Lao Zou, this baby is a cultural person from Beijing?" A man looked at us and said.

"That's not a big deal! Lao Xu, aren't you the branch secretary, the food distributed to the babies is ready, and I will arrange a place for the babies to live! Lao Zou said to a bald man who was younger than him, and added another sentence after speaking, "Food is not allowed to be greedy!" The baby has a long body! ”

The brother was moved when he heard this.

followed Lao Zou into the village, and the crowd dispersed. O man, wherever he is, there is always good and bad.

When the branch secretary surnamed Xu brought our rations, Lao Zou took a look, "I'm still greedy for two percent, this useless thing!" ”

"Okay, old Zou Ye, isn't it just two percent, don't care, you can still be hungry with your brother!" Huang Biao opened the grain bag and looked at it.

Huang Biao was so good-mouthed, Lao Zou was amused by his words, "Okay, don't be poor, you can live in my old house in the future." ”

Naturally, we don't have any opinions, the old house of the old Zou family is two rooms and a small courtyard. Lao Zou asked his granddaughter to take us there.

His granddaughter's name is Zou Mumu, eleven years old, a quirky girl. When we asked for the name, we called her Xiaomu, and she happily accepted.

The old house is not far away, along the way Xiaomu curiously asked us about this and that, teasing a little girl is not like playing, and Xiaomu was amused by us to giggle in a few words.

We asked, why didn't you see your father?

Xiao Mu said proudly that his father broke his leg when he hunted bears a few years ago, which was inconvenient, and his father was a big hero, and the people in the village respected him! The bearskin was on Grandpa's donkey cart.

When we arrived at the place, it was getting dark, so we asked her to go back.

Looking at the two stone houses, my brothers and I looked at each other, and finally decided that the bigger one would live and leave the other as the kitchen.

Huang Biao said excitedly, "Our brothers will be a family in the future, and we will live on each other!" ”

I asked him, "Do you know how to cook?" ”

"No!"

"Will there be a fire?"

"Won't?"

"And what will you do?" Ma Zi gave him a blank look.

I didn't say what I would do after half a ring, it's over, it's still a ball day.

"I can do the laundry!" Huang Biao puffed out his chest.

Ma Zi and I smiled knowingly, "Deal!" ”

In the evening, Ma Zi and I poured some rice, and Ma Zi used some vegetables and dried meat given by Lao Zou to make the dishes.

The three of them lit oil lamps and ate around a small table.

"Hey, I can't see it! The brothers still have this hand! Cheng, the clothes in the future are packed! Huang Biao looked at the decent slices of shiitake mushroom meat and a stack of scrambled eggs with a strange expression.

Ma Zi and I were speechless, nonsense, in those years, Master and Uncle Du had never entered the kitchen at all.

After eating, the three of them sat in the courtyard, looking at the starry sky in a daze.

"I said, we can't eat the autumn harvest even if our rations are full, if we don't starve to death, we can still deal with it, let's talk about it, how do we eat! You can't always ask Lao Zou Ye for food, it's not a parent! Huang Biao held his head.

"Then you don't need to say, eat it as if you are dead!" I didn't think about it, Ma Zi nodded in agreement.

In addition, it seems that tomorrow is going to work, and the country has a policy, as the saying goes, the roots of the members.

I heard Lao Zou say that we can't do hard work like this, four points a day, that is, two cents, and two yuan a month.

Huang Biao thumped his chest and shouted that his twenty centimeters were gone!

Before going to bed in the evening, Lao Zou came again, saying that he had divided the work for us, considering that we were all hairy babies, and when it was time to sow seeds and farm the farm, we would go to the field to see the seedlings. The rest of the young and strong laborers went to reclaim the wasteland.

We thanked gratefully, knowing that it must be Lao Zou who spoke for us.

Huang Biao didn't say a word, and stuffed the military kettle on his waist into Lao Zou's hand, "Old Zou, we don't have anything, this kettle was used by my lieutenant general's father in the war back then!" You've got to be a subordinate! ”

Lao Zou touched it and sighed, "You children, if it weren't for this era, it wouldn't be glorious and rich in the imperial city!" It's a pity! Okay baby, I can really use this pot, you're welcome, and you can be polite to me in the future! ”

After sending Lao Zou away, I looked at Huang Biao, "What's the trouble?" When did you buy that kettle when our brothers didn't know? ”

Huang Biao smiled, "Gentlemen, this is to highlight your heart!" ”

Gong Niutun, the three children, came to the first night, tired of the trouble, so they went to sleep.
