Chapter 066: Youth Commando
Hearing that Xiaomei will soon be a substitute teacher at the central school, Zou Jie is both happy for her and happy for herself, and she will soon have Xiaomei to accompany her, and she can no longer stay alone in the empty room.
However, Zou Jie is worried about Xiaomei, this Gao Laosan is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and he has a lot of bad intentions, although he doesn't dare to talk nonsense to Xiaomei, it is also troublesome to entangle all day long.
Xiaomei is strong in heart and weak in appearance, and is easy to be bullied by Gao Laosan. But you can't give up the job you love to avoid someone.
In this world, everyone wants everything to go well, but everything can't go well, that's life.
What difficulties and hindering you from moving forward will retreat, I hope Xiaomei can let go of her burdens and worries and move forward bravely.
This night, Zou Jie was idle and bored alone, and unconsciously remembered He Wenduo and the happy time they had together.
She collapsed on the kang, there was no electric light, and her thoughts hung over the dark hut.
Outside, she was distraught by the distant croaking of frogs.
Zou Jie couldn't sleep, got up, lit the oil lamp, took out paper and pen, and began to write a letter for Wen Duo, full of his endless thoughts and concerns about him.
Zou Jie has made up her mind to sow a seed of life for her and Wen Duo's love, and after the spring sowing battle, she will take a few days off to find him in the provincial capital, which is the love journey she has been looking forward to for a long time.
Let's not mention this matter for the time being, let's talk about Xingfu Tun.
In the quiet of the village, a few rooster crows wake up the morning, and a new day begins in the rising smoke of the cooking.
The production captain rang the ploughshare early.
The spring ploughing battle is that the members of the club get up early to do a lot of work and then go home for breakfast.
In the battle yesterday afternoon, Captain Wang Kui told Captain Wang Kui about Director Zou's suggestion to set up a youth reclamation commando, and Captain Wang Kui expressed his unconditional support and let Yakzi select the commandos.
This morning, he called eight young members and himself to form a commando team to reclaim the castor field.
The nine members of the team were all young men, and there were no women.
The fourth girl was unhappy and had to join the commando, but the yak disagreed, and she agreed to join the team without work. She was helpless, and the tasks assigned to her were to plant red flags, pick up tree roots, and throw stones, which she gladly accepted.
On the eastern slope of Beishan Mountain, a vigorous battle for the reclamation of castor fields began that morning, and the tree pits dug were reburied and leveled, and the undug places were carpet dug and dug in a carpet manner.
The commandos are in full swing under the leadership of the Yakzi.
Zou Jie hastily ate breakfast in the commune guest house and rushed back to Xingfutun.
When I arrived at Xingfutun, I was just in time for the members to come back for breakfast.
Hearing that the commandos of the Yakzi Organization had begun to reclaim the castor field, Zou Jie was very excited.
Zou Jie didn't see the yaks. The meal time set by the Yakzi for the commandos was very short, and by this time they had already returned to the eastern slope of Beishan after breakfast.
Zou Jie parked his bicycle at Ye's house, knowing that Xiaomei was bored at home with his mother, so he called Xiaomei to go to the scene with her.
Xiaomei thought thoughtfully, poured a kettle of brown sugar water, and brought a small tea jar.
On the way, Zou Jie said to Xiaomei: "Good news for you, you will be able to teach students again soon, and the matter of going to the central school as a substitute teacher is basically decided." ”
"Is it true? Who do you listen to? Xiaomei couldn't believe it.
"I'm ......listening," Zou Jie didn't plan to tell her about Gao Laosan's mediation for her, so he changed his words and said, "Last night, I went back to the guest house to listen to what the teacher of the central school said, the commune leaders have asked, the news is accurate, there should be no change." ”
"Commune leaders? Which leader? It won't be ......" Xiaomei was a little skeptical.
"Who do you care?" Zou Jie said, "You don't need to think about it so much, if you go to substitute for a proper thing, whoever says it is responsible for the work and the cause, not for anyone." ”
Xiaomei said: "I understand the truth, but I always feel unsure." ”
"There's me over there in the commune, and there's your grandfather behind you, why aren't you down-to-earth? Whoever dares to bully you is bullying me, bullying your grandfather, borrowing his courage, he has to weigh it. Zou Jie said, "Now it's okay, I can finally have company, and I don't have to stay alone in the empty room at night." ”
Xiaomei is very happy and looking forward to it, but she is still a little scared in her heart.
The two of them came to the eastern slope of Beishan as they spoke.
On the eastern slope, the commandos were competing to work, and the four girls saw Zou Jie and Xiaomei coming, so they stepped forward.
"Hello Director Zou, Sister Xiaomei, you are too old." The fourth girl said "come" as "old".
"Ha~Ha~Ha~ Why don't you talk and don't listen to your mouth?" Zou Jie smiled.
Xiaomei couldn't hold back her laughter and teased: "Why am I old?" ”
"I'm sorry," said the fourth girl, "give me a few sips of your water, and let them drink all the water I brought." ”
Xiaomei poured a jar of water for the four girls, and the four girls took a few sips of water and said: "Director Zou, you have to talk about Brother Yakzi, he doesn't want to die when he works, let us learn from him, don't let us take a break, just like you said, I'm so tired that my legs and stomach turn and my mouth is knocked off." ”
"How does this work?" Zou Jie said, "Go and tell everyone to rest for a while." ”
"I don't dare," said the fourth girl, "or you should call it yourself." ”
Zou Jie and Xiaomei walked to the front of the yak, and the four girls also followed, and then the yakzi found out that they were coming, Zou Jie was not surprised when he arrived at the scene, Xiaomei came and he didn't expect it.
"Brother Yakzi, how are your injuries?" Xiaomei asked.
"It's okay, it's nothing." Seeing Xiaomei, he was a little shy.
"I found out, or Xiaomei cares about you," Zou Jie said, "I didn't even think to ask about your injury, what is it called?" This is called having eyes in your heart, Yakzi, you have to cherish this love! ”
"Sister Zou, what are you talking about?" Xiaomei blushed with shame.
He was embarrassed by Zou Jie's words.
The fourth girl was very uncomfortable when she heard this, and as soon as she turned around, she hid and sulked secretly.
Although it was only one morning and one hour after the meal, a large part of the castor field had already been cultivated.
Zou Jie looked around, looked at the sweaty appearance of everyone, and said, "Yakzi, you can't let everyone do this, doing it so non-stop will tire everyone out." ”
Scratching his head, he said, "The commando team has to assault." ”
"No, the commandos have to be relaxed, they can't work so hard." Zou Jie said, "Hurry up and let everyone rest for a while." ”
The baron beckoned everyone to stop and come over for a drink.
Who knew that at this stop, a young man named Zhang Shijie lay down on the spot, and everyone else came to drink water, but he never got up.
Zou Jie and Xiaomei brought the water to him, only to find that his face was pale, his eyes were closed, and beads of sweat were on his forehead.
What's going on?
Xiaomei poured a vat of brown sugar water for Zhang Shijie, Zhang Shijie reluctantly sat up and drank it, and it took a long time to ease up.
After Zou Jie's careful inquiry, it turned out that Zhang Shijie didn't eat breakfast in the morning, others had three meals a day, and there was no rice at home, so he barely ate two meals a day.
How can this work?
Now there is still half a year before the autumn grain comes down, and the members' families are already in this situation, how to persevere?
Zou Jie was thoughtful, but where is the food? There is no surplus food anywhere, and there is nothing she can do but produce to save herself.
Zou Jie wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only solve the problem in front of him.
Before Zou Jie could speak, the fourth girl took the initiative to ask Ying and said, "You wait, I'll go home and get two big cakes." ”
So saying, the four girls ran home.
After a while, the four girls rushed back, and sure enough, they brought two golden cakes: "That's all." ”
After the fourth girl finished speaking, she directly handed the two cakes to Zhang Shijie.
The young member named Zhang Shijie gratefully ate one cake and wanted to give the other cake to others.
Although everyone was greedy, they didn't reach out.
Zou Jie said: "Don't let it, you can keep it for yourself." ”
Zhang Shijie was embarrassed, so he had to put the cake in his pocket.
He took people to work again, and Zou Jie and Xiaomei also did some work to pick up roots and throw stones.
The fourth girl turned to the yak and secretly gave it to the yak that she had hidden, but the yak divided it into several portions and distributed it to everyone, which made the four girls very shameless.
The fourth girl looked at Xiaomei at the scene, thinking about what Zou Jie said just now, the more she thought about it, the more awkward she became, she seemed to have a premonition that she might be a rival with Xiaomei in this life.
At noon, Xiaomei and Zou Jie returned to Xiaomei's house.
Xiaomei's mother heard that Xiaomei would soon be a substitute teacher again, and she couldn't suppress her excitement and excitement.
"Great, I really answered that sentence, good things are not afraid of being late, but I am afraid of no good things." Xiaomei's mother said to herself, "Why does it feel like a pie falling from the sky?" Yes, today we will eat pies, white flour pies at noon. ”
"Aren't you already cooking?" Zou Jie said, "Let's wait for Mr. Ye Kun to come back in the evening before baking the pie, and everyone will share happy events together." ”
"That's fine, just do as you say," said Xiaomei's mother, "let's deal with it at noon, and then celebrate in the evening." ”
Xiaomei's mother prepared bud rice flour cake and mountain four-leaf leaf vegetable soup at noon and served them on the table.
Zou Jie looked at the food and said, "Such a good meal is still called a mouthful?" Some members can't open the pot at home now. ”
Xiaomei told her mother about the collapse of member Zhang Shijie in the morning.
Xiaomei's mother said kindly: "Xiaomei, you find time to send some rice noodles to his family, one to live in, who is in difficulty, we can't look at other people's jokes, although we can't help a lot, we have to do a little bit of care." ”
"Okay, I'll send it later, my mother is a good person, a good person, and I can't see others in trouble." Xiaomei readily agreed.
Zou Jie saw that Xiaomei's mother was so kind-hearted, and he was even more respectful of Xiaomei's family.
Xiaomei and Zou Jie were covered in dust and sweat because they had worked all morning with the Youth Reclamation Commando.
After lunch, they quickly boiled a large pot of water, closed the door, closed the curtains, and the sisters took a hot bath.
