Chapter 15: Hard-earned money
Lu Miao rolled her eyes, and suddenly she was as cunning as a little fox, and she began to beat the snake again: "Does it often rain in the south?" I don't have an umbrella either, do you know how to weave a hat? ”
“……”
"Come on, come on, the porridge was in the pot for a while, and the temperature was just right. Lu Zhiqing, you taste. ”
"Thank you, Auntie~"
Chen Guifen came back soon, and Lu Miao took the coarse porcelain bowl from her hand and smiled obediently and sweetly.
Can it not be sweet?
Lu Miao confirmed that Fu Jingyou would weave the hat for her today, and persuaded Fu Jingyou to weave a hat for her, she was in a bad mood!
The porridge in the bowl is very thin, but the rice soup from the firewood is very fragrant.
Nibbling on dry coarse grains for several days in a row, this bowl of rice soup was very much in line with Lu Miao's wishes, she drank it in small sips, and there was nothing left.
The rations are expensive, of course Lu Miao will not eat them in vain, she can't calculate how to give food stamps, so she put two cents on the table when she got up.
Chen Guifen didn't see her small movements, Fu Jingyou saw it, but didn't say anything.
Seeing that Lu Miao was about to go back, Chen Guifen called out to her: "Lu Zhiqing, you wait for a while, Auntie will bring you something." ”
Stuff?
What is it?
Lu Miao was very puzzled in her heart, but she also obediently stood in the hall and waited.
Chen Guifen quickly went and returned, with an extra gourd scoop in her hand than when she left, containing a few crisp cucumbers and small yellow red tomatoes.
"It's all grown in their own land, and this year's harvest is better than in previous years, you take it back and eat it, don't dislike it."
Lu Miao was flattered and took the things, and thanked him again and again: "Thank you, auntie, then when I go to work tomorrow, I will send you back this half of the gourd." ”
"The gourd scoop is not worth anything, there are many at home, so let's stay at the Zhiqing Point to use it!" Chen Guifen waved her hand happily, "Go ahead, go fast on the road, it will make you very sunburned." ”
Lu Miao nodded, smiled sweetly at Chen Guifen, and trotted out of the door with the gourd scoop.
Chen Guifen smiled and retracted her gaze, and was bumping into He Hongjin coming out of the kitchen.
He Hongjin snorted: "You are kind-hearted, and you should do whatever people say." ”
"Hehe, what else can you do? A girl is so far away from home, do you feel pitiful? Chen Guifen smiled and put away the bowl, and when she saw the two cents stacked on top of each other at the corner of the table, she picked it up and asked, "Who are you?" ”
He Hongjin snorted twice and didn't speak.
Apparently not his.
Fu Jingyou didn't say anything.
Thinking about who was sitting in this position just now, Chen Guifen understood what was going on.
"That girl is squeamish, but she is more honest. She couldn't do the work in the cornfield, so didn't she do it properly for a few days? ”
"What will you do and what you won't do, it's better to say it directly, you think about the first few years when the first batch of educated youths first came, and now I think about it, I still feel sorry for the peanut seedlings of half an acre of land."
Chen Guifen said this, He Hongjin also felt very embarrassed.
At first, I thought that the educated youths had just arrived, and I thought that they would do some light work to adapt to it, but I didn't expect that the ones who came were all grains, and they mistakenly took peanut seedlings as weeds and pulled out half an acre of land.
The second production team became a joke in the brigade is small, but it is a pity that the seedlings of half an acre of land are ......
Peanuts are economic agricultural and sideline products, and it costs a lot of money just to buy seeds, which is all the hard-earned money of the team.
shouldn't have mentioned this, as soon as he talked about this, He Hongjin was so distressed that he scratched his scalp.
Thinking of something, He Hongjin asked anxiously: "You said that Lu Zhiqing has been in the cornfield for the past few days?" What kind of land is she working on? Have you been to see it? Don't give me the corn seedlings this time! ”
Fu Jingyou straightened his back at the table, wanting to say something, Chen Guifen said before him: "Don't worry, I said hello to the old croppers in the team that day, let them help watch the point, Lu Zhiqing is still reliable in addition to working slowly." ”
"Ouch, it was so bluffing that I almost didn't come up in one breath."
He Hongjin patted his chest, and it was strange that the weather had been getting hotter recently, and there was more and more work in the team, so he didn't think about this aspect for a while.
"What about the others? How's it going? ”
"It's all okay, the pair of sisters and brothers from the three eastern provinces are very good, I asked before, I said that I grew up in the township, and some farm work is very neat."
Hearing this, He Hongjin was a little relieved, "What do you say is going on above, how do you always score these golden lumps?" ”
Chen Guifen smiled and said, "Golden pimple? Ordinary people can't raise such gold bumps. ”
She was talking about Lu Miao.
He Hongjin sighed lightly, "I don't expect all of these educated youths to be useful, just have two or three who can do things." ”
After all, it is the person next to the pillow, Chen Guifen knows his thoughts, but what does she think, she said again: "You have time to say hello to the old croppers in the team when you go back, and the dolls in the city work slowly, don't pass by everywhere and owe it, turning around and suppressing the enthusiasm of the educated youths to work, isn't it still in the team that suffers?" ”
"Okay, I get it."
He Hongjin nodded and went out with a hoe.
Fu Jingyou also finished eating, and when Chen Guifen cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, he helped on the side, and was slapped away as soon as he reached out.
"You also pack up and go to work, where can you be used?"
Fu Jingyou went to carry the hoe as he said, and when he walked to the door, Chen Guifen suddenly called out to him again:
"Ouch, wait, Jingyou, my aunt suddenly remembered something......"
To be close to the forest, and to be a light work, there are really not many places that meet this condition, and the only two plots of land are not close to the production team.
It is definitely impossible to let Lu Miao go alone, but if the crops in the team are arranged together, regardless of the old and young, Chen Guifen is not at ease just thinking of Lu Miao's flower-like face.
After thinking about it, Chen Guifen hit Fu Jingyou with the idea.
After so many years, Fu Jingyou can be regarded as his own child, and Chen Guifen understands his character and is more assured.
Fu Jingyou hesitated a little, but Chen Guifen asked him to go, and he agreed.
When he gave Lu Miao a wheat straw hat in the afternoon, he sent a message to Lu Miao:
"Auntie said you would come with me tomorrow...... You are a girl, and you are afraid that the people in the village will spread the word, and your aunt said that we should leave early. ”
"Hmm."
Lu Miao let out a slight "um", hooked her head and looked at the hat in her hand over and over again.
The hat is made of wheat straw, and even if you ignore the natural taste on it, you can tell that it is indeed freshly knitted, but right......
It seemed to have been made in a hurry, not so delicate, and it didn't make the brim bigger as she had asked before.
Lu Miao was not very satisfied, but she didn't say anything, but followed Fu Jingyou's words and asked, "Is it just the two of us tomorrow?" ”
"Just the two of us." Fu Jingyou pursed his lips, and the Adam's apple slid up and down, "The place is far away, you have to eat in the field at noon, you prepare dry food in advance." ”
"Okay."
