70 years ago

The wind from Siberia to the south made Zhong Yuemin's roar on the top of the cave dissipate in the air before it reached Baidian Village, and his communication with Qinling was basically interrupted.

Zhong Yuemin finally experienced what it was like to be a single, which also caused everyone to heckle, whenever he felt bored, someone would deliberately say to him: "Yuemin, if you are really bored, it is better to go to the top of the cave and roar, it doesn't matter if Qin Ling hears it or not, anyway, we can hear it, so we should relieve the boredom." ”

Zhong Yuemin is not easy to refute, he is no different from a single person now, and he can't stimulate anyone.

The cold winter made it impossible to continue composting, but luckily there was enough earthworm powder to prepare, otherwise the fifty chicks would not have had a good time.

The villagers have nothing to do in the winter of the cats, anyway, it is also the time of farming, their life is even more boring than that of the intellectual youth, many of the entertainment activities handed down from the ancestors have been banned, and many people can only bask in the sun by leaning against the wall.

The intellectual youth is much better, Jiang Hua brought a lot of books, the last time he stole books from the library, he had a lot of books, in addition to technical books and literature, although there are not many, but it is enough for the intellectual youth to be a disaster.

Seeing that at the end of the year, the village is ready to start paying wages, and the wages in the village are to distribute grain according to centimeters, which is the family's ration all year round.

This year, because of the rush to plant some potatoes and sweet potatoes, although it is not appropriate, but there are some harvests, and the villagers have more rations, and it should not be a problem to last for about half a month to a month, which also makes the villagers have more smiles.

Under the New Year, the villagers are also rare to be generous, the village kills the pigs, and each family can get about a pound of meat, which is a rare oil and water all year round.

Then I went to the supply and marketing cooperatives in the town to buy some sugar, and the rich people pulled a piece of cloth, and the New Year passed like this.

As for the firecrackers that children never forget, they are basically delusions, and how can the family have spare money for children to listen to and play.

Jiang Hua bought a few firecrackers and distributed them to the children in the village, with a maximum of a few per person, and the children were already so happy that they couldn't find the north.

This is the first time in the lives of young people to spend the New Year alone, and everyone also wants to eat better, but there are not a few children in their pockets, so in the end they can only scrape together some money and want to buy some white bread dumplings.

Looking at the two dollars and three cents that everyone had hollowed out of their pockets, Jiang Hua volunteered to take over the purchase.

Zheng Tong is a seven-trick mind, he knows why when he sees Jiang Hua doing this, although he doesn't know how much net worth Jiang Hua has, but it is estimated that it will not be less, so he also volunteered to help carry it, and also dragged Zhong Yuemin together.

Zhao Dayong watched the three of them leave, and asked curiously: "With such a little money, how many things can I buy, and three people need to carry them together." ”

Cao Yang took the dirt on the ground and threw it at Zhao Dayong: "You are stupid, Huazi is obviously to paste money inside, although I don't know why Huazi is rich, but he has a good heart, and he will definitely let you have a good year." ”

Jiang Biyun said: "He is a child of the compound, the conditions are much better than ours, and the people are good, I heard that he can go to the army, it seems that he gave up to take care of Zhong Yuemin." ”

Xiao Ningwei didn't speak, but then he interjected and said: "I know that Brother Hua's parents are martyrs, and he has a living allowance every month, but it seems that he will be gone after the age of eighteen." ”

Jiang Biyun was still very interested in Jiang Hua, so he asked: "Then why is he and Zhong Yuemin brothers?" ”

"After hearing that Brother Hua's parents died, Brother Yuemin's father took him to his home to raise him, because Uncle Zhong and Brother Hua's parents are comrades-in-arms."

Wang Hong frowned and said, "I seem to have heard the name Zhong Yuemin when I was in the capital, and I heard that he is quite famous among the children in the compound. ”

"That's Brother Yuemin, Li Yuanchao, Zhang Haiyang, they are equally famous, and they are recognized as influential figures."

Jiang Biyun asked, "What about Jiang Hua, isn't he a man of the hour?" ”

"Brother Hua usually doesn't like to play outside, I heard that he likes to read books, often reads and studies at home, and rarely plays on the street, and it is only in the last year that he has a little reputation among the veterans, it is said that he put down the little bastard with one move."

Jiang Biyun's eyes were shining, and she seemed to be very interested in this man.

In the evening, the servants finally returned, each carrying a large bag, which was a lot of purchases.

Zhao Dayong, Cao Yang, and Qian Zhiming greeted them warmly, unloaded the sacks on the shoulders of the three people, and said in surprise after checking them: "Ho, there are a lot of things, Huazi, you didn't break the bank." ”

Jiang Hua replied with a smile: "New Year's Day, you shouldn't eat and drink, everyone is going out for the first time, and if you are wronged, you will be so disappointed." ”

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, the eyes of the servants turned red at that time, and they were about to shed tears.

Zhong Yuemin pretended to be disdainful and said: "Are you still an old man, drop cat urine, in Northwest dialect, it is called a shame to say it." ”

Qian Zhiming said: "Zhong Yuemin, you don't understand, you are a child of the compound I don't know what we children in the compound think, we don't have you knowledge, so we are looking forward to a stable job, and in the future, my wife and children will be hot on the kang, and I don't have as much ambition as you." ”

Cao Yang also responded: "Yes, if it weren't for Brother Hua, you have been tossing with us for the past half a year, I'm afraid I would have accepted my fate and become numb, and like those idlers in the village, I would have mixed up every day, and when I had the opportunity, I would marry an aunt and give birth to a baby." ”

Zheng Tong said happily: "That's good, isn't it also a hot kang for wives and children?" ”

Zhao Dayong said angrily: "Can it be the same, you can enter the factory in the city, you can earn a salary, and there is no shortage of food. ”

Jiang Hua patted them on the shoulder and said comfortingly: "It's going to be okay, it's going to be okay, you have to keep hope, optimistic and positive, everything will be fine." ”

Back in the cave, the three girls prepared hot water, the servants washed and scrubbed themselves, and the rest opened the sack, which was full of surprises.

Wang Hong exclaimed: "White noodles, fruit candy, and white rabbits, this is a rarity." ”

"There's meat, there's vermicelli, cabbage, fungus, and a chicken."

Jiang Biyun also opened the bag in his hand: "Chicken cake, and wine, Jiang Hua, you are too expensive, we can't let you subsidize it all the time." ”

Jiang Hua smiled and said, "They are all brothers and sisters, don't talk about these." ”

At this time, the sky outside the cave was covered with goose-feather snow, and Zheng Tong poked his head out to look at it and said, "Ruixue is a good year." ”
