Master Lu paused when he said this, and glanced at Jiang Shiyue's eyes, "Although your brother is innocent, he was a target at the time, and when the girl was transferred here, he automatically applied to come here." ”

Jiang Shiyue bit the tip of her tongue lightly, her long eyelashes lowered and lifted again, and her voice was slightly cold, "Is that girl back in the city?" ”

Master Lu was surprised, "How do you know?" ”

Jiang Shiyue hooked her lower lip coldly and didn't answer.

Master Lu hesitated and didn't ask, then said, "We people are also unlucky. As soon as we came here and settled in, the sky changed! I don't have to go to the countryside anymore. That is to say, except for those of us who will no longer come to the countryside, we are really short of manpower and have transferred some locals from the neighborhood, but we can't keep them, but we will find someone to transfer them away if we have a little way. The more understaffed there is, the more the tasks cannot be completed, and the more they are completed, the more they will not be able to finish the work, and the worse the treatment will be.

Later, it was said that the educated youths who went to the countryside could return to the city. We've exploded here, and we all want to go back to the city. But you want to! We are already understaffed, who will do the work if we are leaving? So even if the boss gave him a place, our captain refused to let him go. ”

Master Lu said this, turned his head sideways and looked in the direction of the captain's office, although he couldn't see it at all.

The educated youths complained, but there was no way, they could only stay, people left their hearts, and the work was more perfunctory. Until the reinstatement of some family members of the educated youth. They dredged up the relationship from top to bottom, and the captain had to let go if he didn't let go. So there was the first one to return to the city. ”

Where there is the first, there is the second.

At the beginning, most of the educated youths who went to the countryside because of their background had some skills.

Gradually, these affected second generations returned to the city one after another, and the rest were even more unbearable.

Those who have money in the family spend money, and those who have relationships find relationships.

"In the last year alone, half of us have walked here." Master Lu shook his head.

Jiang Shiyue didn't say anything, she knew that a stroke in the history book was often a lot of people's lives.

"Speaking of which, your brother has a chance to go."

It was Jiang Shiyue's turn to be surprised.

"Once, when the captain came back from a meeting, he was about to arrive at the farm when he encountered a tiger that should not have appeared at that time, and he was almost bitten to death. It just so happened that your brother patrolled nearby and rescued him. Your brother looks like he's okay now, and he can tell that he's walking lame on a rainy and cloudy day. The captain had a conscience at that time, and in order to repay your brother for saving his life, he gritted his teeth and gave him a note to return to the city. ”

The rest of Jiang Shiyue didn't listen and guessed that her brother must have given up the quota to the girl who was with him.

Master Lu gave Jiang Shiyue a thumbs up, "You guessed it. Your brother won't have a chance if he misses that opportunity. The current captain is not the captain of the past! It's hard for these people on our farm to see him! ”

***

Jiang Shiyue came out of the cafeteria and went directly to the captain's office.

As Master Lu said, the captain is rarely on the farm now, and he has now saved a lot of money by returning to his hometown to know the youth, and he is dredged up and plans to transfer to other places.

I don't even go back early or late, and I don't care much about the production tasks of the farm.

However, the quota for returning to the city is really inseparable from him.

Jiang Shiyue could only go back to the wooden house, thought about it, took another ten yuan, went back to Master Lu, and asked him to buy some ingredients.

The road was happy, and generously took the ingredients to Jiang Shiyue.

"Let's say okay first, this is my personal private goods, and when others ask you, they will say that they brought it in from outside, don't say that I sold it to you."

Jiang Shiyue returned to the wooden house with a piece of pork, two catties of pork ribs, a pheasant, and some vegetables and fruits.

There was a dirt stove in front of the dormitory.

Jiang Xiannian said that it was because the workers often had no food to eat when they came back late from overtime, so they made a little bit of their own cooking.

It's usually eaten secretly.

What you can eat depends on what kind of prey the workers can get.

Sometimes it's a hare, sometimes it's a pheasant, sometimes it's a snake or a mouse, and everyone eats it anyway.

The dormitory is a long row of wooden houses, most of which only live in one or two people, and even a few empty rooms.

Jiang Shiyue turned out pots and pans in the room that served as a kitchen next to the stove.

I don't know if it's because everyone doesn't take care of the public goods or the workers don't open the fire for a long time, and the kitchen utensils are very dirty.

Jiang Shiyue carried the bucket and brought it back from the water pipe in the canteen, and cleaned the pots and pans.

By the way, the vegetables were washed, and the ribs and chicken were blanched.

The chicken is a pheasant, no need to ask, it must have come from the woods, but Jiang Shiyue was a little curious about where the ribs came from.

Now to buy ribs, in addition to having a ticket, you also need to prove.

For example, a fracture certificate issued by the hospital can prove that the patient needs this food to supplement nutrition.

But if you think about it carefully, it seems that the answer is not difficult to guess, there is a high probability that the worker who was injured in the line of duty needs to be supplemented, and the ingredients were batched but were deducted into his pocket by Master Lu.

Jiang Shiyue, who hadn't cooked by herself for a long time, was soon sweating.

I can't help but think of the moment when the soul just passed through.

It was as poor then as it is now.

The difference is that at that time, when I was in debt, I really didn't have money, but now I feel like the kind of rich people who experience the life of the poor, not to say that they are enjoying it, but it is somewhat fresh.

In the summer, even the Tohoku is extremely hot.

Staying by the stove and sweating profusely.

It's just a few dishes, and when it's ready, it's almost time for the workers to get off work.

It can't be a wasted dish.

Cold cucumber is the easiest dish.

And the old chef peanuts. Master Lu was very generous in his face and took out all the snacks and gave them to Jiang Shiyue.

Jiang Shiyue reheated the peanuts and made them into old kitchen peanuts.

Then there are sweet and sour pork ribs.

After the ribs are blanched, they are re-cooked to control the moisture to make sweet and sour pork ribs.

Spices such as sugar and vinegar are available at an additional price.

The last is the stewed chicken, Jiang Shiyue has enough seasoning, and he has enough power to boil the fire.

Anyway, the last thing that is lacking here is firewood.

When the chicken soup was boiling over a small fire, Jiang Shiyue went to the captain's office.

They have a captain on the farm, as well as a squadron leader and a squad leader.

It was their squadron leader who borrowed the money.

The squadron leader had seen Jiang Shiyue at noon, but he was very surprised why she came to find him.

"Come and pay my brother back." Jiang Shiyue took out five yuan and handed it to the squadron leader.

The squadron leader gave Jiang Shiyue the IOU and the three pieces of change that Jiang Xiannian had made.

Jiang Shiyue only took out the IOU and tore it off casually, "The rest is to thank the captain for taking care of my brother." ”

"What's so embarrassing?" The squadron leader said he was embarrassed, but he quickly put the money in the drawer.

"There's another reluctant request."

"You say." The squadron leader smiled on his face, but he didn't think so, what can he do with three dollars?!

Can't it be to let Jiang Xiannian return to the city?!
