Chapter 273: Back to the City
Chen Zhengyu has been in the countryside for less than half a year, and he has suffered from farm work and digging ditches, and has suffered the crime of being framed and almost squatting on a fence, so frightened that he just wants to escape from here.
The formalities were all completed, and he was relieved.
Before leaving, he prepared money and tickets, and wanted to invite Chen Yi and Jiang Xinyu to the county for a meal.
When he arrived at school, Jiang Xinyu was sitting in front of the bed reading the letter Jiang Yuzhu sent her.
Jiang Yuzhu did not report good news or bad news in the letter, and said that she was a rural girl who had just entered the city and arrived at the studio, making jokes and being ridiculed.
Chen Jiajia has a lot of opinions about her, and took some people in the factory to isolate her, although she was unhappy, but Teacher Fang took good care of her, and she herself understood that she didn't come to the capital to fight with Chen Jiajia, she was learning everything she hadn't been exposed to before.
Between the words, she didn't complain too much, and it could be seen that her mood was quite relaxed.
Jiang Yuzhu has written a lot of letters, and she writes them wherever she wants, and the content is fragmentary and miscellaneous, full of her desire to confide in her.
The letter said that some people have toilets and heating at home, there are many bathhouses in the capital, and cooperatives and department stores have much more non-staple food than they are, but in the same way, even the people in the capital live a tight life, and it is not easy to eat meat; The flag-raising ceremony is really exciting; Standing on the Great Wall, she is so small, and she wants to grow a pair of wings to fly into the sky and look down from above...
"Xinyu, if you have the opportunity, I hope you can also come to the capital to have a look, this is not comparable to our small place..."
Jiang Xinyu has seen the prosperity and development of the motherland in later generations, and she is also fascinated by the capital in this era.
When she wanted to write a reply, Chen Zhengyu came with a grin.
"I'm going back to the city, I'm going to invite you and Brother Yi to the county for dinner, are you two free today?"
It's really a coincidence that he will be here this Sunday, she has just returned from listening to the lecture in the county, and she has to have a meeting in the afternoon, otherwise she would have returned to the brigade today.
After eating bread and bitter herbs for a week, she usually drank some malt milk essence sweet mouth, and she urgently needed meat to satisfy her appetite.
"I have a meeting in the afternoon, I can't go to the county, it's in the state-run restaurant of our commune, I want to eat dumplings!"
Chen Zhengyu felt that the commune's state-run hotel did not reflect the heart he wanted to be grateful, but it was the only way.
Chen Yi came back with a broken record player the day before yesterday, and he has been tinkering with it for the past two days, the gears are broken, and the wiring in it has broken a lot.
Let Jiang Xinyu see, it can't be repaired at all, this is different from the radio, after all, there are very few record players at home, where can I find the parts inside? He came up with his strength and fell into trouble with this broken record machine.
The record player was in his dorm room, and when the two of them went, he was still tinkering.
He sat there, fiddling with the old record player and a bunch of bits and pieces on the table.
The sparse glow of daylight slanted through the window, his jet-black hair shone with a golden glow, and the melt light on the straight bridge of his nose and slightly locked eyebrow bones reflected the contours of his side face handsomely and handsomely.
She knew that he didn't care about his face at all, he didn't work in the fields like her in the summer, he had a hat and a scarf, he wore ragged clothes like the other men in the village, he went to work with tools, and it didn't take many days to tan several degrees, and when he came back in the winter, he didn't even apply any oil on weekdays.
But his face is based on her aesthetics, his eyebrows and eyes are handsome, and he is a gentleman and humble.
Chen Zhengyu didn't understand this thing, but he inexplicably felt that Chen Yi's serious appearance was a bit powerful.
"Brother Yi, can you fix it?"
Chen Yi shook his head, "If there is a lack of movement, the one here is broken."
Jiang Xinyu was speechless, "Without that thing, aren't you cultivating for nothing?"
Chen Yi didn't raise his eyes, and the corners of his lips hooked up in disapproval, "If I can find the movement in the future, it will be repaired, and I will fix all other problems first."
He wanted to see the structure of the record player by disassembling the parts to learn more about how it works.
Chen Zhengyu wanted to help him, so he said, "You tell me what the movement looks like, go back and I'll see if I can find the old one for you and send it over."
"If you want to turn the watch upside down in the future, I'll go to Huaiguo to have a look at it every other time."
When he went to the countryside, Chen Zhengyu went to fish with the half-grown children in the village, went to the turtle mountain with the educated youth, and gossiped with the uncles and aunts in the village, but there were few who made him look at him differently.
Although Chen Yi is just a movie projectionist, he feels that Chen Yi has a temperament very similar to his eldest brother, and he can't say what it is, anyway, it makes people trust, in addition to trust, Chen Yi also gives him a sense of connotation and generosity.
He doesn't know what else can be done as a film projectionist, but with a person like Chen Yi, he doesn't think he will always be a film projectionist.
The two of them couldn't finish talking, and Jiang Xinyu's stomach was growling.
"Let's go, let's eat big today, don't do this thing."
It's not a meal at this time, the state-run restaurant is not full, and you don't have to queue up when you go.
It's a coincidence that I came today, there is donkey meat, and I have been here for more than a year, and I have encountered this time.
Not to mention Jiang Xinyu, Chen Zhengyu has eaten donkey meat for so many years.
Needless to say, the source of this donkey must be which production team of the commune died of exhaustion or old age, and which production brigade was willing to kill it for no reason for such an important means of production?
Today, her dumplings are filled with wild vegetables and meat, and the donkey meat is braised with braised meat, but the portion of one plate is a little small.
When the dishes were ready, Xie Hongbin brought them another bowl of donkey broth with a yellowish glow.
There is not a single piece of meat in the soup, and the taste is very light, but it is super delicious.
Chen Yi loves to drink this soup, and found some memories of the past from this bowl of soup. He had drunk a lot of soup, and the light and delicious taste was similar to the soup he remembered his grandmother make.
The meat of donkey meat is delicate and delicious, mellow and delicious, and the tendons are elastic and chewy.
Chen Zhengyu was not polite at all, and he didn't raise his head when he ate.
Jiang Xinyu saw that a plate of donkey meat was served, and hurriedly beckoned to Xie Hongbin.
"What's wrong, Mr. Jiang?"
"Two portions of donkey meat in sauce, wrapped in oiled paper and taken away."
With this good thing, she can't eat alone, Chen Xiuyun and her mother-in-law have been eating wild vegetables in the village recently.
Xie Hongbin shook his head, leaned over and whispered, "No, there wasn't much donkey meat sent originally, and the purchase was limited, and the rest of the donkey meat in the sauce was ordered, and there was no more."
Jiang Xinyu was a little regretful, and when she raised her eyes again, there was only the last piece of donkey meat left on the plate, Chen Yi and Chen Zhengyu came out with chopsticks, Chen Yi took a quick step, and finally this piece of meat arrived in her bowl.
Jiang Xinyu smiled.
