Chapter 504: Joys and sorrows, start to work
No one knew if Han Li had helped Meng Zaihong check her body, but when she left, the hand that was originally carrying the snakeskin bag was behind her back, and it seemed like she was learning some leadership, but in fact she was gently supporting her lower back, and when she walked, it was very different from usual.
Shanghe Village seems to have calmed down after experiencing the farce of the Educated Youth Academy.
When Hao Hongmin learned that Han Li had started to concoct medicinal materials, she asked a little embarrassedly after making a special excuse to come over.
"Han Li, what medicine are you going to do this time?"
"This time I made the potion I needed for my boxing practice, what's wrong?"
Hao Hongmin tried it, but in the end, she didn't say anything about asking Han Li to help make the stretching painkiller cream alone, and the topic was roundabout for a while.
"That. If you can make more 'stretching painkiller cream' for someone, my mother uses it a little faster. ”
Although Han Li was a little puzzled about how quickly Hao Hongmin's mother could use the ointment, he still readily agreed to this kind of trivial matter.
Wu Lili has been instilling the theories he heard when he went back to the city to Sun Yong and Niu Dechang recently, and Sun Yong refused at first, because although he is rare Wu Lili, he wants to go back to the city to work or go to school as soon as possible, of course, it would be better if there was a place to be a soldier.
But Niu Dechang agreed with Wu Lili's proposal, and Sun Yong saw that the two of them were getting closer and closer the more they talked, which made him feel like he was being dug into a corner and cuckolded, so he gritted his teeth and joined the discussion.
Then they began to look for other educated youths to mention this matter, and the words were still the same as Wu Lili said, what they are all literate people belong to mental workers, and should not be limited by these heavy crops in the village, and the village committee should give them a certain space and time to think about how to better build a new countryside. Wait a minute.
As for the villagers who go outside every day to catch some snow clams and sell them to the sales agency, of course, this depends on luck and skill, and more people can't catch many in a day.
Since there are almost no wild vegetables to dig in the mountains at this time, most of the sisters-in-law, aunts, and aunts in the village will gather here every day to do some needlework for their families while chatting.
And those children are even more lively, they will now gather at the consignment point to read villain books whenever they have time, but under the strict requirements and reminders of the Yun family sisters, the children in Shanghe Village have all developed a good habit of washing their hands in the past few days.
There are also many people who have joined the badminton team organized by Meng Zaihong, and these groups of people have always filled the front of the agency with laughter.
This situation made the Yun family sisters more interested in staying at the consignment point, not to mention that Hou Yuhua was helping over there every day, and the other party was rushing to do many things, which allowed them to concentrate more on playing and chatting.
If Han Li wanted to talk to He Mi in the past two days, he could only fight in her spare time when she was playing chess with Hao Hongmin.
However, Zhang Shulan, a housemaiden, didn't go out often, and if Han Li didn't have a chance to succeed on He Mi's side, he would come here to help her do some psychological treatment.
Han Li had been bored with concocting medicinal materials for the past few days, and suddenly it occurred to him that He Mi had handed him several letters when he had just come back, and he didn't care about it at first, but then he forgot about it when he was free.
Now that he remembered this, Han Li hurriedly came to the North House and took out those letters and read them.
Two of these letters were from Fu Weihong from the Bingcheng Post and Telecommunications Bureau, in which she said that she had collected stamps during this time, as well as some New Year's and work trivialities, which was a normal pen pal exchange.
After reading it, Han Li directly wrote a reply, first explaining that he had returned to Sijiu City for the New Year last year, and that he had only received the other party's letter after coming back today, and at the same time said that he had picked up a stamp album that he had obtained by missing it, of course, there were Qing Dalong and a lot of stamps from the Republic of China period, of course, he did not forget to show off.
What followed was a letter from Han Li's two classmates, both of whom were in the northeast, but they were not in the same area as Han Li at all.
There are two of them who can't go home this year, but they can issue a letter from the village, and what she means in the letter is that if Han Li doesn't go back for the New Year, everyone can make an appointment to come out and get together.
This proposal was good, but it was a pity that Han Li received it too late, and Han Li wrote back one by one to explain the situation.
The last letter Han Li opened was Tian Xiaoxia, his classmate in northern Shaanxi, when she wrote to ask for help, Han Li not only remitted twenty yuan to the other party, but also sent a large piece of very fat, very fat bacon.
It's a pity that I didn't see her among the classmates who returned to Sijiu City today, but when Han Li opened the letter, he knew why the other party didn't come back during the Chinese New Year.
If you use one word to describe this thing, it is "poor", and if you use an idiom to describe it, it is "poor and treacherous".
The village where Tian Xiaoxia cut the queue in northern Shaanxi is called Kushui Village, which has been short of water since ancient times, and can be said to be an arid area in the arid areas of northern Shaanxi.
The time and geography have made Kushui Village extremely poor, and the people here do not have any concept of time, and all people's work and rest arrangements are based on the sky, because the whole village does not have a watch, and there is not even an ordinary timekeeping tool, which can be said to be a real sunrise and sunset.
The most she eats here is soup, cabbage soup, potato soup, radish soup, and drinking some soup with oil flowers can be regarded as improving her life.
Young intellectuals love to drink soup, drink soup in the morning to welcome the rising sun, drink soup at noon to warm the beam, drink soup at night to shine on the moon, and drink soup to the stomach.
Not to mention electric lights in Kushui Village, even kerosene lamps and candles are rarely used.
And there are caves living here, and it's still lit outside, and it's dark inside, so you can't see things clearly.
In order to save some kerosene, everyone will walk out of their cave with a bowl when they eat at night, and gather together in twos and threes to pull the shortcomings of their parents, but the wind and sand here are too big, and many educated youths can't enjoy this treatment at all, they would rather eat in the dark inside the house than eat a mouthful of dust outside.
Because it is so poor and the roads are very difficult to walk, many of them have never even been to the nearby county seats. Not to mention the good things that have been eaten, so most of the villagers in Kushui Village insist that dumplings with sour soup and spicy peppers are the most delicious food in the world.
When these intellectuals from all over the country explained the various delicacies of their hometown to the villagers, they did not admit it.
If you say it a few more times, the villagers of Kushui Village will unanimously think that you have never seen the world, and you must not have eaten sour soup dumplings to be here to be nonsense, how to say? The villagers of Kushui Village belong to the kind of character that is poor and strong.
But the reason why Tian Xiaoxia and the others can't return to the city this year is still poor, the son of the captain of Kushui Village fell in love with a girl in the county, and the two of them were classmates when they were in school.
But the girl's family didn't look down on him at all, and they didn't want their daughter to marry into the bitter ditch of Kushui Village.
In order to make the man die, the woman proposed a sky-high bride price, which included that there must be a house in the county, even if it is a broken cave, people will not dislike it.
If this were replaced by an ordinary family, they would have retreated at that time, but there were seven girls in the captain's family, and there was only one baby bump in the son, how could he be willing to make his son uncomfortable, not to mention that if the son married a girl in the county, his grandson would likely become a city man in the future, and it was not impossible to get a household registration to eat commercial grain.
But the captain's daughter-in-law cleaned up the daughters' homes, but she still didn't have enough money for her son to get married.
In order to let his son get married smoothly, the captain hit the idea on the heads of the educated youth.
He privately withheld all the jobs and rations that should be given to the educated youth, and all the money he got in exchange for his son's marriage.
There is a big gap between the rich and the poor among the educated youth, and some are counting on this amount of labor rations to go home for the New Year, while others are counting on these rations to save their lives.
But they couldn't wait for the distribution of work and rations, so they began to mumble, and at this time, a well-informed person learned that the work and rations of the educated youth had all been intercepted by the captain.
What is the purpose of interception? Looking at the lively scene of the captain's family marrying his daughter-in-law a few days ago, it is not difficult to guess.
After the intellectuals got the news, their lungs were about to explode, so a group of male intellectuals rushed into the cave of the captain's house and beat people.
After the fight, they were surrounded by the captain's own uncle and nephew, and then the two sides clashed.
Not to mention the conflict with the captain, even if you conflict with an ordinary person in the village, you will not have the good fruit of the educated youth to eat.
So the fate of the male intellectuals in this conflict was quite miserable, a young intellectual, who was lightly injured and had a faster brain reaction, ran into the commune with the captain as a shield.
The commune immediately sent people down, the arrest of people who should be arrested, the investigation of the investigation, the captain of Kushui Village was taken away as soon as possible, and his final outcome is not known, but last year, none of the educated youths in Kushui Village could go home.
Han Li smiled bitterly when he saw this, the country was really too big, and it was not surprising that each region had its own situation.
And it was only in the nineties that everyone was barely able to get enough food and clothing, and now everything happens in this era.
However, the relaxed days in Shanghe Village were still very short, and the voice of Captain Liang came from the loudspeaker in the village in the afternoon.
"Hey, hey, all the members and all the educated youths pay attention, in order to make everything go smoothly during the spring ploughing, we will start to clean up the buds and beards in the field tomorrow morning, sorghum roots, and get the snow out of some places with thick snow, in short, everything must make way for spring ploughing, and everyone will go to the barn early tomorrow."
After hearing this voice of Captain Liang, the villagers were ready to hear, after all, there was no income from work in the family for several months, even if it was like this every year, but there was no income from work, and they were always a little unsteady in their hearts.
When the other educated youths heard this, they immediately wailed, because once they started working, unless it rained God, they would basically have to say goodbye to rest this year.
Only Wu Lili immediately became excited after hearing the broadcast, only her proposals to start work in the village can be said, if she can succeed, it will not be in vain for the hard work she has spent these days, if she fails
