Xiaomei had already gotten up early and was cooking breakfast with her mother.

She is a caring person, and when she heard the cry of rhubarb, she guessed that it must be Brother Yakzi who came back from the production team. She deliberately took the opportunity to pour water and walked out of the door.

Yakzi was looking into the courtyard, and Xiaomei saw him. The eyes of the two people were connected into a line dozens of meters away. There is warmth in the eyes, greetings and expectations, as well as the embarrassment of the yak and the shyness of Xiaomei.

There was no need to hesitate any longer, Yakzi took the initiative to walk into the courtyard of Xiaomei's house, and Xiaomei stood at the door waiting for him.

"Did you come back last night?" Yakzi walked up to Xiaomei.

"Well, I learned to ride a bicycle and came back from Sister Zou's car." Mei replied.

"It's good to buy one yourself."

"Sister Zou said that she would find a way to help me get a bicycle ticket."

"That's great," asked the Yakzi, "is your tank full?" ”

"Waiting for you?" Xiaomei smiled secretly and went back to the house to get a bucket and a flat pole.

Xiaomei's mother and Xiaomei walked out of the door together, Xiaomei carried two buckets in one hand and a flat pole in the other.

"I said, Xiaomei went out to pour water, why did she suddenly go back to the house and remember to carry water, it turns out that there is a helper."

Xiaomei's mother smiled at the yak and turned around and went back to the house.

The yak picked up four loads of water in a row, filled the water tank, and had to have a full meal at Xiaomei's house.

The breakfast prepared by Xiaomei's mother is sour soup, plus cabbage and mushroom stew, and poached eggs.

The soup noodles used for this soup are soaked and ground by stone grinding, added with water and filtered in a bag, part of which is precipitated into bud rice starch, and the rest is made into soup noodles by absorbing water with plant ash.

The method of throwing the soup is to boil the water in the pot, and then put a special conical leaky eye tool on the thumb of one hand, put the dough into the hand, squeeze it hard with the other hand, and throw the long noodles into the hot water one by one, and after the noodles are cooked, take them out and put them in cold water, and make a soup with water.

The soup belongs to the coarse grains, mixed with the marinade, sour and smooth, and it is very delicious.

As long as Xiaomei's family comes back, they can't deal with three meals a day, especially after Zou Jie reminds them, they can't wait to eat up the good food they have accumulated as soon as possible, so as not to have any bad things on the table, and they can't say clearly.

Teacher Ye Kun's family does not treat the yak as an outsider, and they do not shy away from words during meals.

Yakzi could see that Xiaomei's family was in a bad mood and worried, worried about whether something would happen.

Xiaomei heard some rumors, and the commune set up a working group, and after the spring ploughing battle was over, the working group began to act.

No matter what kind of movement it is, what can it do to us poor and middle peasants? Love what's going on, what's going on. This is what Xiaomei's mother has always thought.

Teacher Ye Kun does not think so, in the face of class struggle, there is no room for revolutionary retrogression, and there is no way to sail against the current. He has been checking himself repeatedly these days, and he has already felt the crisis, but this layer of window paper can't be pierced by himself, so he can only hold on to a bit of luck, looking forward to turning big things into small things, small things into small things, and nothing is better.

He came to Xiaomei's house for a purpose, and he wanted to find an opportunity to mention that he wanted to see Old Man Gao, but he didn't know how to speak for a while.

After the meal, it happened that Mr. Ye Kun asked: "Yakzi, the spring ploughing battle is over, what have the production team been busy with these days?" ”

He seized the opportunity to reply: "In the past few days, there has been no major work except for dredging the river and repairing the road, and the commune has not yet handed over 5,000 catties of scrap steel to the production team, and now we are thinking of a way to do this." ”

"What can be done, this is a big problem, and every household can pay it last year."

Teacher Ye Kun straightened his glasses and made it difficult for the production team.

"Liu Zhishu of the brigade said that there are turrets and underground fortifications outside the mountain, and if they are removed, there must be steel bars inside, I don't know if it's true or not."

When he mentioned this, he felt naïve in his heart, but there was really no other way at the moment, and this method was better than enough for the moon to pick up the stars.

"Obviously, Liu Zhishu has no good way, he came up with such an idea, it is nothing more than mobilizing everyone to overcome difficulties to complete the task, it is not reliable at all, even if it is true, it will not be your turn."

"But what if you don't complete the task? I want to go out and have a look, maybe find a way. He spoke his mind.

"Roosters can't lay eggs, what way can you find?" Teacher Ye Kun was unceremonious.

"How do you talk as a teacher? Don't discourage your petti. Xiaomei's mother said, "Yakzi, don't listen to him, he knows that it is on paper, without your tenacity, aunt believes in you, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, if you don't want to do it, you will definitely not be able to do it, dare to think and dare to do it, you may not be able to do it." ”

Xiaomei complimented: "Mom, I didn't expect that you are still a theoretician, Mr. Lu Xun said, 'There is no road in the world, and it becomes a road when there are more people' The words of the two of you are quite similar." ”

"Who is Lu Xun?" Xiaomei's mother asked.

"It's you, give you a ladder and you can climb to the sky." Teacher Ye Kun said, "What has to be realistic, steel is not a crop in the field, a harvest a year, last year's delivery, this year can still grow, that thing is there, no is no, the commune set this task is simply outrageous." ”

"You dare to say this at home, and I won't arrest you when I go out." Xiaomei's mother said, "Yakzi, your teacher's words are not unreasonable, in my opinion, you don't take this job on yourself, you can't eat it and walk around." ”

"Auntie, I know your kindness, but I don't take care of anyone, the task must be completed, and if it can't be completed, I can't look at the whole Tun people and be embarrassed." He insisted, "I still want to go out and find a way outside, I heard that Grandpa Gao is an old anti-Japanese alliance, he may know some things outside the mountain, I want to ask him." ”

Xiaomei's mother heard that she wanted to ask his father about the situation, and she was very enthusiastic. She said to the yakzi: "I think it's okay, my father knows a lot about traveling south and north over the years, and he may have a good idea." ”

"I don't believe your dad can have any good ideas." Ye Kun disagreed.

"Don't listen to your teacher," Xiaomei's mother said to Xiaomei again, "Xiaomei, you haven't been to see your grandfather for a few days, for a while, let's order dumplings with bread, and you and the yaks will send them to your grandfather." ”

Xiaomei glanced at the yakzi, and her face turned red: "In this broad daylight, how can I go with Brother Muzi." ”

Xiaomei's mother said: "What's the matter, you won't leave first, wait for him when you get out of the tun." ”

Xiaomei lowered her head and acquiesced, and she thought that Aunt Gao was really open-minded, but he still said: "If it's inconvenient, forget it." ”

"I dare to hand over Xiaomei to you, what are you doing, go, go to the garden to help me cut leeks and pick them, Xiaomei, you go and beat eggs, I'll make noodles."

"Mom, what are you talking about?"

Xiaomei was so ashamed that she hurried out of the house. He didn't know where to put this face for a while.

Teacher Ye Kun stopped talking and went to read his book. Xiaomei's mother and Xiaomei were busy making dumplings, picking leeks and making fires to boil water.

After a while, the leeks and egg-stuffed dumplings were wrapped and cooked, and everyone shared and ate half of them, leaving half of them in a small bowl, and Xiaomei wrapped them in a package.

"Brother Yakzi, you go first, and I'll ride a bicycle in a while." Xiaomei said, go to freshen up and change clothes.

"Then I'll go first, the road in the tunli has just been paved, there are stones, you ride carefully." Yakzi reminded.

"Well, it should be fine." Brother Yakzi's carefulness and concern made Xiaomei's heart warm.

Yakzi understood the meaning of Xiaomei not going together, and left first.

Today, the work of the production team is to disperse the labor, cutting grass for horses and cattle, both men and women, and handing over a bundle of grass before finishing the work.

He went home first and got a sickle, he wanted to go to see the old man Gao, and by the way, he went to the downstream of the small reservoir to cut some grass and come back.

He came out of his house and picked up the stones that were obviously stumbling on the road and threw them aside as he went.

The big yellow dog followed him, and the rhubarb threw the stone once, and the rhubarb flew after the stone once, and he couldn't see what kind of game it was.

Before the yak had gone far, the four girls carried a water hyacinth on their backs and held a sickle in their hands, smiling towards the yakzi.

"Brother Yakzi, did you go home early? I'll go to the club to look for you, but you're not there. ”

"What are you looking for me?"

He threw the stone he had picked up to the side.

"Looking for you to mow the grass, I didn't expect you to come home so early." The fourth girl asked, "Brother Yakzi, what did you eat for breakfast?" I'll prepare you two large cakes and pickle gnocchi, which I have hidden in my firewood stack. ”

"I can't afford it, you can eat it yourself, I've eaten it."

The four girls followed him closely.

"I don't know about your family, but after eating it, it's bran dumplings at most."

The four girls took a few steps to the front of the yak, looked at the yak backwards, and from the breath of the yak, she clearly smelled the fragrance of leek eggs. "No, you don't seem to be eating bran dumplings."

The four girls were smart and careful enough to find clues in the leek leaves that remained between the teeth.

"You must have carried water for Xiaomei's family again, right? The leek-filled egg-stuffed dumplings you eat at her house. ”

The four girls' faces suddenly turned cloudy. The yaki was a little impatient because the four girls were pestering her because of the bottom line.

"Yes and what? Shao Nan, don't follow me, I'll go to Dongshan Quanyangou to find Old Man Gao to ask how to find scrap steel outside the mountain. ”

"And what are you doing with a scythe? I also went to Dongshan Quanyangou to mow the grass. ”

The fourth girl spoke with jealousy, but no matter how jealous she was, she followed the yakzi.

When encountering a master like the fourth girl, what can he do? He ignored the four girls, he couldn't get rid of the four girls, he sharply ordered the big yellow dog to go home, and the big yellow looked at him and stood in place very reluctantly.

In front of the crossroads, I heard the sound of a group of male and female members laughing loudly next to the well.

In the past, members of the club used to get up early to carry water, but today is an exception. Some members don't care about earning a few more jobs, so they don't get up until they get up after a good night's sleep.

What is it about the romance that makes these members smile so closely?

"Brother Yakzi, did you hear that? You don't know yet, do you? Joe horn scratched the two children of the horse widow's family last night, and their faces were scratched into shredded potatoes. ”

What's going on? The four girls blushed and were embarrassed to say it.
