Chapter 60: Keeping a Diary

"I arrived here on January 19 and was in a coma for half a day and a night. I woke up on the morning of January 20 and caught a soft-shelled turtle to eat in the afternoon. On the 21st, he taught 6 teams to kill soft-shelled turtles. On the morning of the 22nd, Captain Yang's family killed pigs, and in the afternoon he went to the brigade to teach how to kill soft-shelled turtles. On the morning of the 23rd, I went to the 4th team, in the afternoon to the 7th team, and on the same day, all the production teams went to the commune to pull the telephone poles. On the morning of the 24th, I went to the 8th team, and in the afternoon, I went to the 9th team, and the production team planted electric poles. Today is January 25th, and I have to go to the team headquarters to teach Deputy Captain Xiao's family to make sauerkraut, and the production team continues to plant telephone poles. ”

Chen Fan inserted the fountain pen into the bamboo tube, and his face was a little stunned.

It's been 5 days, and today is the 6th day, why hasn't Zhu Gong'an heard back?

Jiang Lili stood aside, stunned as she looked at what he wrote, "This is the diary you wrote?" ”

Chen Fan looked at her strangely, "Ah, is there any problem?" ”

Jiang Lili looked at him, and then looked at the words on the notebook, "What you wrote is too simple." ”

In her opinion, elementary school students write better than this.

She now wonders whether Chen Fan has ever attended a high primary school (the first, second and third grades of primary school are called junior primary schools, and the fourth and fifth grades are called high elementary schools).

Chen Fan didn't care, "Diary diary, just record what happens every day, why write so much." ”

If it's not to help memory, who keeps a diary for serious people?

Then he turned the notebook over, opened the back cover, and opened the last page, "I'm going to keep the account now, you can help me count it." ”

Although Captain Yang said very clearly, what kind of rewards, thanks, and return gifts these are. But he can't take it for granted, and he will have to repay this favor if he has the opportunity in the future.

After all, in his eyes, it is really nothing to teach a turtle to kill, not to mention that Team 6 also calculated his work.

He didn't have a pen and paper before, and he was embarrassed to borrow it from Jiang Lili, but it happened that yesterday in the 9th team, the accountant on their team gave him a notebook, two dipping pens and a few packs of ink gouache.

The fountain pen is not a real fountain pen, it is a bit similar to the quill pen, that is, a nib is followed by a long pen tube, when you want to write, you can write with the nib dipped in ink, and then dip it after writing, it is very inconvenient, and the water is uneven when writing, just dipped in water is very thick, and then the more you write, the lighter it is, until it is dipped in water again.

This is still a special gift to Chen Fan when he saw that Chen Fan was like a scholar.

Ink powder is a small packet of dry powder, which is washed with water and shaken to make ink.

Chen Fan had never seen these two things, and he refused to ask for them at first, but he accepted them after hearing their captain say that it was not worth much.

Coupled with that coarse-papered notebook, it's just right to jot down something.

"Oh."

Jiang Lili puffed out her mouth and looked at the things piled up on the two beds next to her, "Where to start?" ”

Chen Fan thought for a while, "Let's start from the team headquarters, all the same." ”

Then Jiang Lili counted and reported it to him, and Chen Fan quickly recorded it.

After a while, there are really a lot of things.

Not to mention the "Educated Youth Gift Package" sent by the brigade headquarters, the military coat and big scalp shoes given by Deputy Captain Xiao are not mentioned, and the things given by each team add up to a lot.

There are 12 teams, and 6 teams are a few clothes and shoes, as well as 30 catties of rice and half a bag of sweet potatoes. Of the remaining 11 teams, 5 were Chen Fan himself, and 6 were Liu Jiaojiang, and where he went, he collected a meat and a fish, and the others were also sent to Chen Fan.

Now it has accumulated a total of 250 kilograms of rice, 16 bacon, 16 preserved fish, 33 kilograms of cotton, and 11 kilograms of rapeseed oil.

These are the main materials, and other miscellaneous items include 5 packets of pickles, 8 bottles of home-brewed soy sauce, 8 bottles of home-brewed vinegar, 6 jars of chili sauce, 6 cans of kimchi, a waist basin, two bamboo chairs, a bamboo basket, a basket, two flat poles, four buckets, two bath tubs, two hats, two coats, four pairs of straw sandals, three pairs of clogs, two washboards, and finally the pen and ink paper he is using.

This clog is not the kind of clogs of small days, but a common daily necessities that we have passed down for more than 3,000 years. Wu Wangfucha likes to listen to the sound of Xi Shi dancing in clogs, and also built a "clog corridor". Li Bai also has the verse "Feet on Xie Gong's clogs, and his body climbs the green cloud ladder".

A wooden board is cut into the shape of a foot board, and two vertical planks are nailed one after the other, and then a few holes are drilled in the edge of the shoe board, and a few hemp ropes are pulled, which is a common rural clog.

On rainy days, tie the geta directly to the shoeed foot to avoid getting dirty with mud and not slipping easily. There are also rich and noble families who put a piece of leather on the shoe board, so that they can directly wear clogs barefoot. If the poor want to wear it barefoot, they have to paste a few more layers of homespun cloth and dry it to make the upper.

At this time, a good pair of leather clogs costs 2 yuan, and the price is not cheap.

As for the hat, coat and straw sandals, they are the "three-piece suit" that every household must have.

Families with conditions even have one set of hands, and poor families without conditions also have at least two hats and a coat.

The most expensive of them is the cloth, which is labor-intensive and time-consuming to make, and can be sold for two yuan if you take it to the market. The cheapest is straw sandals, 5 cents a pair, and almost every household in the production team has people who can play straw shoes.

Such a large number of sundries, it is indeed not worth a few dollars to say that it is valuable, but it is rare, and Chen Fan recorded them one by one.

After finishing his work, the sky was already bright, Chen Fan stretched his waist, got up and said, "I'm going to Team 5 to help Captain Xiao's house make sauerkraut, if it goes well, I should be back in the afternoon, let's continue to eat soft-shelled turtle tonight." ”

Speaking of soft-shelled turtles, he suddenly remembered, "Hey, are the few soft-shelled turtles in the pig trough behind me okay?" ”

Jiang Lili grinned, "When you think about it, they will freeze to death even if they don't starve to death." ”

Chen Fan's eyes widened, "Huh? ”

Jiang Lili smiled, "Don't worry, I picked up some silt and came back to fill in the two stone troughs, and it's all fine now." ”

Chen Fan breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "It's a pity if you die, the blood can't be released, and the meat is not delicious at all." ”

After a pause, he said, "Don't hang on these meat and fish, you can also cut a little bit and eat it when you eat by yourself." ”

Jiang Lili shook her head again and again, "This is your thing, how can I eat it." ”

Chen Fan turned his face blank, "Then I also received a pair of cotton shoes." ”

Jiang Lili lowered her head and didn't say a word.

Chen Fan's face fell, yes, this is a silent protest.

He could only shake his hand, "When I'm done with today, I'll cook later." ”

Jiang Lili quickly raised her head, puffing out her cheeks and not speaking.

Chen Fan looked at it and wanted to laugh again.

At this time, there was a knock on the courtyard door, and Captain Yang pushed open the door and walked in, "Yo, Xiao Chen, you are still here, I'm afraid that you have already gone out, Zhu Gong'an will come over and talk about you." ”
