When the time to get off work at noon, Yang Daming packed up his tools, and washed the pool in the logistics office, the rice bran shell on his head was always unclean, and he spent five cents to eat a meal in the canteen of the grain station at noon every day, and Yuanyuan came here to work today, I don't know where Yuanyuan plans to eat at noon?

His stomach was rumbling with hunger, and there was no shadow of Yuanyuan in the crowd of people who were cooking, he hurried to the door of the big warehouse where Yuanyuan worked, only to see Yuanyuan still bowing his head and seriously mending the sack, seeing her preoccupied appearance, he couldn't help but say funny: "Fang Yuanyuan, I see that you are full of work, right?" Don't even go to eat? ”

"Ah, it's time for lunch? Am I not hungry yet? Yuanyuan looked up and smiled, and then asked, "Where to eat?" ”

"I want to save trouble at noon every day, so I eat in the canteen here for five cents a meal, what do you think ......?" Yang Daming asked.

Yuanyuan took off his dusty mask and said, "I'll eat here too." ”

"Let's go, go to the cafeteria, after eating, you can rest for a while, you won't go to work until half past one." After Yang Daming finished speaking, he glanced at Yuanyuan, her big flickering eyes were so bright, there was no trace of fatigue, because he was carrying a coarse shell, the dust was large, and the handling work was heavy, so he was tired and had a sore back and legs, every day after lunch, he would find a quiet place, lay on the sack, lie on the ground, and rest comfortably for a while.

When people saw that Yang Daming brought such a pretty girl as Yuanyuan today, they all widened their eyes and asked, "Xiao Yang, is this your girlfriend?" This question provoked Yuan Chengcheng's face to be shy, and Yang Daming punched each of those who had a lot of words, and warned: "Don't talk nonsense!" We are from a village, classmates. ”

"Haha! You're a turtle son, and you still pretend to be garlic? Look at your bird-like appearance, I don't know what you're in? When I'm a fool? "Coaxing, laughing, the canteen at noon was hot, Yang Daming knew that if he talked to them, it would be endless, he made two meals, and beckoned Yuanyuan to eat, and he also sat opposite Yuanyuan to eat, naturally like a big brother.

When he came home from work in the evening, Yang Daming beckoned Yuanyuan to take his bicycle, and Yuanyuan said: "It's still early, I've been sitting all day, let's walk home." Yang Daming said: "Then I'll go first." Yuan Yuan nodded, and fell behind, the light of the setting sun smeared the leaves on the side of the road with a layer of gold, and there was still heat on the road, Yuan Yuan untied his hair, shook his head, and walked quickly towards home.

It only took seven days, Yuanyuan put the mountain of sacks, sorted out, should be mended, the grain station administrator said in disbelief: "Oh, before, ask someone to do this, let alone take half a month, the supplement is not so meticulous, alas, this girl is really clean and neat work." ”

Yuan Yuan said: "Then reward it, and the prize will be coarse shell chaff." ”

This sentence made the administrator confused, "What? Reward coarse husk bran? ”

"My family feeds a few pigs, and I don't reward coarse husk bran, I spend money to buy some coarse husk bran, is it okay?" Yuanyuan wanted to prepare more rice bran to feed the pigs, and soon the summer passed, and it was really in the middle of the tenth winter wax moon, and he was going to school again, and his grandmother was at home, and it was cold, so he went there to get something to block these pigs' mouths? That day, Wang Meizhen asked Uncle Yang what she said, she took it to heart, the soldiers and horses did not move, and the grain and grass went first.

"Oh, seeing that you are a serious worker, I will ask them for you, and sell you a little coarse chaff. There should be no problem, I'll talk about it after asking. ”

Yuanyuan was not surprised, and said loudly: "So good! Thank you! ”

The work of the grain station, so that Yuanyuan got her wish, bought four sacks of coarse shell chaff, and also received a salary of twenty-three yuan, she wanted to invite Yang Daming to eat dumplings in a restaurant on the street, Yang Daming agreed to her invitation, came to a dumpling restaurant on West Street, three simple small tables, a few polished wooden chairs, floating in the air smelling good oil fragrance, the fragrance of green onions, peppercorns, spicy, and the smell of burning briquettes.

The two of them sat down at a small table, and Yang Daming asked Yuanyuan: "Yuanyuan, what university do you want to apply for next year?" ”

Facing Yang Daming, who was super good at learning, Yuan Yuan said modestly: "I'll take the normal exam, right?" If I really pass the exam, after finishing the study, I will return to our hometown as soon as possible so that I can take care of my grandmother and them. ”

"Your wish is very good, with your grades, it is more than enough."

"What about you?" Yuan Yuan asked, looking at the youthful face in front of him, young and old, and full of spirits.

"I want to apply for a military school, but I don't know if I can pass the exam?" Yang Daming blurted out.

Yuanyuan's eyes widened, and his face was full of surprise: "It is worthy of the youth of fresh clothes and angry horses, and it lives up to its glory and popularity!" I'm sure you'll get your wish. The white horse passed through the gap, time was like an arrow, as if not long ago, we were still fighting stones, and in a snap of our fingers, we had to think about the university entrance examination. ”

"I feel that way, too." Yang Daming saw that the dumplings were ready, so he stepped forward and brought the dumplings himself.

The steaming dumplings were wrapped with green onion tofu and a little meat foam, Yuanyuan felt very delicious, she was reluctant to eat too fast, and wanted to slowly let the delicacy turn around on the tip of her tongue for a while, just as she was intoxicated by that rare delicacy, she heard that Yang Daming had paid the proprietress money. She hurriedly ran over and said, "Boss, don't take his money, I'm in for a treat today." ”

The proprietress with a red face said, "I have collected everything, ......?" The proprietress looked at Yang Daming again.

Yang Daming said: "What about the old classmates, whoever pays is the same." ”

"It's different, give, you have to take it." Saying that, Yuanyuan had no choice but to hand five yuan to Yang Daming, Yang Daming tried his best to refuse, and said: "If you have a chance in the future, you can invite me again, it's okay." ”

The proprietress standing next to her said, "Yes." Next time, come to my shop to eat. I testify. The words of the hostess made everyone laugh.

Yuan Yuan said: "Then I have to punish the unruly, I bought the coarse husk, if I can't invite others, please help me carry it back." In the words, it seemed to be puffing and puffing.

Yang Daming said: "That's no problem, I'll push a small cart tomorrow and help you push it back." Hey, that coarse husk bran still needs to be powdered before it can be fed to the pigs, it's too coarse, how to feed it? ”

"Get it back to the village and go to Zhang Guanglin to powder it, okay?" Yuan Yuan asked.

"There's a flour bran there on East Street, it's very fine, and that's where we made it. Zhang Guanglin's machine powder is still very coarse, no. Yang Daming suggested.

"Okay, it's ready to be powdered on East Street, and then shipped back."
