"Squad leader, thank you!"

He Jidong's family lives in a small town, which is considered to be eating public food, but the family has no livelihood, his father died of illness at an early age, and he only relies on his mother's salary to work in the supply and marketing cooperatives to support a family of five. Among these five people are grandmothers, He Jidong, and his younger brothers and sisters.

Life was tight, He Jidong was admitted to university, his mother was so happy that she didn't sleep all night, talking to his father's portrait, saying that their son was promising, and that their family's future life would be better.

In the middle of the night, He Ji was woken up by a soak of urine, and when he heard the movement in his mother's room, he was stunned and lay on the bed silently and cried for half a night.

How bitter it is, he knows. There are women in the town who die of men, and directly leave the children and old people in the family, and remarry other men, and his mother has never said anything about remarrying, and someone runs to his house to tell his mother to match, and before he can speak, he is kicked out by his mother.

Therefore, because he knows that it is not easy to fuck, he has been cooking in the cafeteria for the past few days, only making cheap meals, and only buying black flour buns, so that he can send the saved food subsidies home so that his family can have a full meal.

"If it's a classmate, don't say thank you, go, I'll invite you to dinner, don't refuse."

In order to avoid Guo Hongjun and He Jidong not going, Ye Xia said: "I have relatives in Beijing, and before I came to the school to report, my relatives gave me a little money ticket, so that I could occasionally improve my life. ”

Guo Hongjun and the others hesitated, and under Ye Xia's smiling gaze, they finally opened their legs, picked up the lunch box and followed Ye Xia to the door of the classroom.

"I tell you, it's not terrible to be poor, as long as we are willing to work hard, we will be able to take off the hat of poverty and live a good life. What's more, the major we study plays a key role in improving the lives of farmers. ”

Their study of agriculture is undoubtedly closely related to agriculture, and as long as they make achievements in their future work fields, there is no need to think too much, the first to benefit will definitely be the people who rely on arable land, planting, and breeding to make a living.

To put it bluntly, it's a peasant family.

"Hmm."

Guo Hongjun nodded, he knew that this was the girl encouraging him and He Jidong, so that they would feel inferior because of their current predicament, and they felt that they were dwarfs.

He Jidong followed Guo Hongjun to respond, and he also said with a low "um", "I won't waste these four years in college." ”

Ye Xia smiled at the corner of his mouth: "That's right, we can't waste the past few years in college, after all, this university is not easy to get into, and if we are admitted, we must go all out to learn knowledge and prepare for our work in the future." ”

Hearing this, Guo Hongjun and He Jidong nodded heavily.

More than half an hour has passed since the canteen sells food, and this will basically miss the peak period of student meals.

"Is it enough? If it's not enough, add another white-flour steamed bun to each of you. ”

Looking at the pork and cabbage stewed vermicelli in Guo Hongjun's lunch box, and then at the three white-flour steamed buns on the lid of each of the two people's lunch box, Ye Xia said, "Don't be polite to me." Guo Hongjun responded repeatedly: "Enough is enough." ”

It is already a very happy thing to be able to eat Erhe noodles steamed buns, but as soon as the girls arrived at the canteen window, they handed their lunch boxes forward and helped them buy meat dishes.

is to help them buy white-flour steamed buns, and buy two white-flour steamed buns for each of them, this is the best life in his village, and it is difficult to eat such good food.

Even on the Chinese New Year's Eve and the new year, on festivals like the first day of the new year, the people in their village who have almost a good life are difficult to see meat flowers on the dinner table.

It's hard to see a fine white bread. This is not an exaggeration, it is the reality of their village. Relying on the sky for food, coupled with the thin land, everything planted is low yield,

But the public grain must be paid every year, so that there is not much grain left, well, even if there is a little grain left, it will be managed by the villagers to the town, or the county

The black market was replaced with coarse grains to get more rations for the family.

In their place, one pound of fine grain can be exchanged for three and a half pounds of coarse grain, and if they don't want the family to lead the grain for a few days, it is the most cost-effective to replace fine grain with coarse grain. But coarse grains are exchanged for more catties than fine grains.

It doesn't mean that the family can let go of their stomachs to eat. Five or six points full, yes, at most five or six points full, this is still for the strong laborers who go to work, like women and children at home,

It's good to be able to drink it thinly. You don't have to think about white flour buns, there are very few two-way buns, and on the dining table of every household, there are mostly black buns and steamed buns mixed with wild vegetables in black noodles.

Only the strong laborers who go to work in the fields are eligible to eat a steamed bun about the size of an adult's fist after drinking thick porridge with wild vegetables or sweet potatoes, so as not to be unable to hold it during the working period.

The grain is locked in the cupboard, and before cooking, the woman in charge of each household opens the cabinet to get food, and when the meal is ready, the woman in charge of the house cooks the food for the family. At his house, it was his mother who held the key to the food cabinet, and naturally he was also his mother who divided the room at the dinner table.

However, there is no patriarchal preference in his family, his mother cooks in the family's bowls, and the thickness is almost the same, and the black-faced buns are half for women and one and a half for men.

However, the rules set were like this, but his mother and his grandmother rarely ate steamed buns, and he knew that this was for his father and two brothers.

After all, the three strong laborers who earn the most work in the family are his father and the eldest brother and the second brother. Ming Ming accidentally broke a leg in his early years, and because he had no money to go to the commune health center for treatment, he called the barefoot doctor in the next village to help him with bones.

As a result, he was disabled, but even so, his father could get eight or nine points of work when he went to work. He knew that this was forced by life, in order to survive, to live the family not to be starved to death, even if his father had one leg that was not good, he still relied on his own hands to exert a lot of strength, earn more work, and when the harvest season came, he would bring more food to the family.

"Eat, finish the dishes, you go directly to the window over there to make porridge, I just paid the ticket together."

Ye Xia gave herself half a portion of pork and cabbage stewed vermicelli, bought a white flour steamed bun, and sat down opposite Guo Hongjun and He Jidong with a lunch box: "What are you looking at me?" Eat it! ”

Seeing that the two of them didn't move their chopsticks for a long time, Ye Xia smiled, picked up the steamed bun and took a bite first: "Tomorrow, you will officially go to the canteen to work part-time, and report directly to Master Liu." ”

"Master Liu?"

He Jidong muttered. Ye Xia said "um" and said, "It's the white and chubby Master Liu, he is in charge of everything in the cafeteria, and the student union has informed Master Liu, so you can come and report tomorrow." ”

He Jidong nodded, picked up a steamed bun and started eating.

……

"Squad leader, what did you and Guo Hongjun say to He Jidong? Why do you still sit and eat with them? You're in for a treat, right? ”

When Ye Xia and Guo Hongjun walked into the cafeteria, Niu Chunmei and Fang Xiao noticed it for the first time, seeing that Ye Xia had finished eating and said goodbye to Guo Hongjun and the two, Niu Chunmei dragged Fang Xiao's arm and the two of them went to the cafeteria to wait outside the cafeteria like a gust of wind.

To be precise, it was Niu Chunmei who wanted to gossip, but Fang Xiao was just dragged by Niu Chunmei and passively gossiped.

"Niu Chunmei, you seem to like to inquire about other people's affairs?"

Ye Xia frowned slightly, and met Niu Chunmei's eyes: "I just said a few words to Guo Hongjun and He Jidong, you can't suppress the gossip, and want to listen to one or two from my mouth, this habit is not good at all, I hope you can change it." ”

Niu Chunmei was immediately stunned, and her cheeks were slightly hot, and she said very uncomfortably: "I...... I'm just a little curious, and I don't mean anything else. ”

"Have you ever heard of the phrase 'curiosity kills cats'?" Ye Xia asked Niu Chunmei as she walked forward, and out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at the other party and shook her head, she said: "There is a very poor cat, it is too curious, it wants to know what is in the jar on the table, but unexpectedly, it fell into the hot soup and died." ”

As for where "curiosity kills the cat" from, Ye Xia didn't say specifically, she just told such a small story, hoping that Niu Chunmei's curiosity would be less, and it was better not to open her mouth to gossip and ask gossip. And in Ye Xia's opinion, this gossip is actually no different from talking about the rights and wrongs of others, and she is quite disgusted by this.

I don't want Niu Chunmei's "naivety" to tell everyone about a simple thing, which will bring unnecessary psychological pressure to Guo Hongjun and He Jidong.

Yes, she thinks so, she is worried that Guo Hongjun and the two are delicate-minded, commonly known as sensitive, and when they learned that they were doing part-time jobs, Niu Chunmei was publicized everywhere, and they hated Niu Chunmei, and even she held a grudge.

She is helping her classmates, but she doesn't want to be busy and didn't help, but she is hated by her classmates. As for Guo Hongjun and He Jidong going to the cafeteria to work part-time, they were bumped into by their classmates, and the matter spread by their classmates.

This is unavoidable, but she believes that Guo Hongjun and the two should be part-time today, and they should have thought of this more or less, and then the news of their part-time job spread.

Knowing the reason, it may be a little uncomfortable, but after a while, you should be able to get used to it. Although the two methods of communication are similar, one is that Niu Chunmei's "innocence" is known to everyone, and the other is that she was bumped into by her classmates and then said it, but the nature is still a little different.

Even if these two are actually not malicious, for classmates with strong self-esteem like Guo Hongjun and He Jidong, it will inevitably make the two feel a little embarrassed.

A few days later, Ye Xia didn't expect that although the "curiosity kills the cat" she said to Niu Chunmei earlier was not staged, Guo Hongjun and He Jidong were working part-time in the cafeteria, and they were bumped into by many classmates in the class on the first day of their part-time work.

At first, I didn't hear any rumors in the class, but I didn't think about it, I said everything in the past two days, which caused Guo Hongjun and the others to bow their heads when they saw their classmates, as if they had done something unseemly.

In this regard, Ye Xia is both helpless and angry, she is helpless, her mouth grows on others, and those words are more true, not too mean, not to mention what qualifications does she have to care about other people's mouths?

And what she is angry about is, is everyone idle?

Going to university is supposed to be for further study and learning knowledge, but one by one they talk about the private affairs of their classmates, don't they think they are wasting the country's educational resources? Don't you think it's disrespectful to your classmates?

Besides, Ye Xia can't understand what Guo Hongjun and He Jidong think, the family situation is difficult and needs to walk with your head down, and you need to be troubled by this and hurt your self-esteem?

With full emotions, at noon this day, after the substitute teacher left with the handouts, she took the lead in standing up, walked to the podium, and said to the class: "I have a few words to say to you, and by the way, I will ask you a few more words." ”

Almost immediately, the noise that had just started in the class was silent, and everyone looked at Ye Xia, at the delicate-looking girl on the podium, at this little sister, and at their squad leader.

"In the past few days, everyone has nothing to do and is talking about Guo Hongjun and He Jidong, talking about their part-time jobs in the school cafeteria, talking about their families, and talking about the private lives of the two classmates.

But I don't know, what's there to talk about? Is it shameful to work part-time? Is family hardship shameful? Is it wrong to rely on one's own labor, to rely on one's own hands in exchange for a certain reward? In life, who dares to say that he has been flat and damaged all his life without encountering the slightest difficulty? ”

The whole class listened to Ye Xia's questions one after another, and their expressions were all stunned, especially the students who first bumped into Guo Hongjun and He Jidong working part-time in the school cafeteria, and casually said right and wrong to their classmates, when Ye Xia's clear eyes looked over, they unconsciously lowered their heads, only to feel a hot pain in their cheeks.

"The student union has a work-study department, as the name suggests, is to provide help to students with family difficulties, this help is not free, it is to help the students to pay labor.

Get rewarded accordingly. We keep saying that labor is the most beautiful and labor is glorious, so why should Guo and He be criticized by their classmates when they use their labor to get rewards? ”

Ye Xia's tone was cold and indifferent, but every sentence was like a hammer hitting the hearts of every student in the class: "If your classmates are in difficulty, you will talk about your classmates, and even laugh at your classmates.

So let me ask you, what is the shame of this difficulty? Our country is developing, our people are also developing, difficulties are temporary, I believe that in the near future,

Our country will become stronger and stronger, and the lives of our people will become better day by day as the country prospers. And what qualifications do you have to ridicule classmates from difficult families, and what qualifications do you have to criticize classmates behind your back?

The family conditions of Guo and He are not good, but it is this bad family condition that has cultivated such glorious college students as Guo and He. Why do they eat black bread?

They are reluctant to cook a good meal, because they want to save some food expenses and send it to their families, and they want to help reduce the burden on the family. I don't think there's anything shameful about this, but I think the two classmates care about their families and have a pure heart!

Therefore, when I hear the gossip of those critical classmates and their families, it really hurts us who are pursuing higher education. The country cultivates us to learn knowledge so that we can return to the motherland after graduation, not to let us waste educational resources on this university campus and gossip about our classmates. ”

After a pause, Ye Xia's tone softened slightly: "Speaking of this today, I hope you will take this as a warning, don't keep your eyes on the private affairs of your classmates, and focus your thoughts on studying.

Four years later, when we participate in the workplace, we will see which students have lived up to the national training, the expectations of the teachers, and the four years of university life. ”

His eyes fell on Guo Hongjun, and Ye Xia asked, "Classmate Guo Hongjun, are you ashamed of your family's current predicament?" ”

Guo Hongjun got up, looked at Ye Xia and shook his head.

"He Jidong, what about you?"

Moving his gaze to He Jidong, Ye Xia asked. He Jidong also got up, pursed his lips and shook his head.

Looking at the two, Ye Xia said, "Since you don't feel ashamed, why do you bow your head in front of people?" You should be proud because your family, even if the family is in difficulty,

I also insist on providing for you until you enter the gates of the university, they are glorious and worthy of the respect of each of us. And with such an amazing family, we are not ashamed to walk in front of people,

We need to hold our heads high, and we need to face the people around us with confidence and face our lives. After all, the eyes and mouth are long on others, and we don't care what others think of us. ”

Guo Hongjun and the two of them had pantothenic acid eyes and noses, their eyelids drooping slightly, and they looked at Ye Xia and nodded while making an "um" sound.

Quietly looking at the classmates in the class, Ye Xia exhaled secretly, clapped his hands and said, "Okay, let's go and do your own business." ”

Seeing that the classmates in the class were free to move, Ye Xia stepped off the podium and returned to his seat.

"Squad leader, you're so good!"

Fang Xiao sat next to Ye Xia, and as soon as Ye Xia sat down, he stretched out his thumb and praised it. Niu Chunmei sat on the other side of Ye Xia, she bit her lip, and said with a look of shame: "I won't gossip anymore, squad leader, you won't ignore me, right?" ”

"Everyone has their own freedom of speech, I just don't want discordant voices in the class, and besides, am I a stingy person?"

Looking at Niu Chunmei, Ye Xia raised her eyebrows lightly.

"No, no, the squad leader is not stingy at all, the squad leader is the best!"

Niu Chunmei immediately laughed: "I said that I would be good friends with the squad leader for life, and this decision will not change until I die." ”

Ye Xia shook his head amusedly. Through contact with Niu Chunmei and Fang Xiao from the beginning of the school year to the present, the character of these two classmates is quite good.

Then Fang Xiao is the kind of "good girl" image next door. Silly Bai Tian is a little reckless, and his naivety is too much to make people feel angry and helpless; The good girl is docile and gentle, knows etiquette, and it is not difficult to get along, in short, the two girls around her who like to stick to her are both kind-hearted and scheming.

Time is like flowing water, and the National Day is coming.

"Huh?! Why did you all come here together? ”

Tomorrow is the National Day, three days off from studying, Ye Xia walked out of the school gate, inadvertently looked up, two familiar figures jumped into view, she immediately smiled, trotted to the two tall and straight teenagers like strong bamboo.

One eyebrow and eyes are warm, the other eyebrow and eyes are clear, both of them are good-looking, and when they saw the girl running over, they invariably curled the corners of their lips and showed a faint smile. "Jun Lang called me yesterday and made an appointment to come over this afternoon to pick you up and take you back to the compound for the National Day.

Jiang Xuejin said so, hearing this, Ye Xia's eyebrows and eyes were curved like the first quarter moon, and she said sweetly: "You guys are going to surprise me?!" ”

Lu Xiangbei just looked at his daughter-in-law dotingly, and didn't make a sound. Jiang Xuejin nodded and asked with a smile: "Happy, right?" ”

Ye Xia nodded again and again, with a coquettish look on her little daughter's family: "I'm happy and happy, since the start of school, it's the first time I've seen my eldest brother!" ”

Jiang Xue smiled apologetically: "The school is strictly controlled, and the study and training are tight, so I haven't taken the time to come over to see you for a while, are you angry with the big brother?" ”

Ye Xia shook his head: "No, my eldest brother's school is different from ours, in addition to studying, I have to pay more training, the time must be very tight, I don't have time to come and see me, it's understandable." ”

"My sister is well-behaved and considerate, Junlang, you have to treat my sister well, otherwise, be careful of my fists to ask you for an explanation."

Jiang Xue rubbed Ye Xia's head, then moved his gaze to Lu Xiangbei, squinting his eyes, his eyes flashing with a dangerous light.

"Big brother won't have that chance."

His daughter-in-law doesn't hurt enough, how can he treat her badly? Lu Xiangbei didn't take Jiang Xuejin's words at ease, he also rubbed Ye Xia's head, and then, the three of them walked to the nearby bus stop.

Ye Xia walked between the two, quite speechless, why did one or two like to stroke her head, so she was not afraid of being bald?

"Fang Xiao Fang Xiao, did you just see it? Our squad leader seems to be walking with two very good-looking boys, who do you say are those two boys, and what is the relationship with our squad leader? Where are they going? ”

Niu Chunmei took Fang Xiao's arm and walked out of the school gate, and as soon as she looked up at the bus stop sign, she saw Ye Xia and the two boys standing together, talking and laughing.

Immediately after, the three of them boarded the bus that was slowly parked on the side of the road, until the bus started to drive away, Niu Chunmei came back to her senses, patted Fang Xiao's arm, and asked three times with curiosity and surprise.

Fang Xiao was inexplicable: "Where is it?" Where is the squad leader, why didn't I see it? ”

"Oh, you're really, what were you thinking just now, the squad leader has already gotten on the No. 10 bus with those two boys!"

Niu Chunmei puffed out her cheeks and looked depressed.

"Curiosity kills cats, why is your curiosity so strong? Have you forgotten what the squad leader said? However, I remembered that the class president had told the two of us, saying that his eldest brother was also in college in Beijing, and if you really saw the class president just now, then the two boys around her were the class president's eldest brother and high school classmates. ”

In the afternoon two classes, she originally wanted to go back to the dormitory to wash her clothes and go out to the department store tomorrow, but the person next to her didn't wait for her to take the clothes out of the dormitory door, so he took her basin and stuffed it back under the bed, grabbed her hand and shook it, and asked her to go to the department store with her.

Niu Chunmei stuck out her tongue: "Don't you see, those two boys are very good-looking, and they are so tall, especially the one in a white shirt, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as picturesque." ”
