Waiting for the 10 teams to leave, Chen Fan took a sip of the wine glass.

Uh, the water is terrible.

He glanced at the safe three who were talking, his little hand shook slightly, and the wine bottle fell to the ground with a clatter, "Oops, the wine is spilled." ”

Captain Yang was about to pick it up immediately, but Chen Fan hurriedly stopped him, "Forget it, it's all spilled, just replace it with Yunhu Daqu." ”

Hearing that he didn't drink loose wine and drank Yunhu Daqu instead, Captain Yang didn't pick it up.

Chen Fan turned around and glanced at Jiang Lili, who was cleaning up the table, squinted his eyes and smiled, "Little Jiang, please help me get a bottle of 'wine'." ”

Here the word "wine" is accented.

Jiang Lili pursed her lips and smiled, "Oh." ”

Then he went into the house and got the wine.

After a while, Jiang Lili sent the wine over and took the initiative to pour it for him.

Chen Fan said "thank you" and took a sip of the wine glass.

This is wine!

After a night of drinking, it was really uncomfortable.

Exhaling a breath of wine, Chen Fan looked at the three people next to him and asked softly, "That old Gao, do you all know his situation?" ”

When the man talked about Lao Gao just now, he noticed that their faces were wrong, and when he heard it later, it was true.

It turned out to be an orphan in a small day.

In fact, there are quite a lot of orphans in my country, and they are calculated in units of "10,000", especially in the Northeast, there are many such people, and I don't know how many orphans and abandoned children have been adopted by local villagers.

Some returned to China to find their relatives after opening up, while others stayed permanently.

In addition, there are also remnants in many places across the country.

There are two here, rare is indeed rare, but it is not an incredible thing.

Hearing Chen Fan's question, security and Zhang Wenliang didn't have time to speak, so Captain Yang said, "You don't care what his situation is, anyway, what that person said is true, you just need to think about whether to go or not." ”

Chen Fan took a sip of wine, his brows furrowed slightly, "Listen to your tone, I'd better go for a trip?" ”

Captain Yang's hand holding the wine glass paused, then quickly raised it again, took a sip, and said with a smile, "Go, that is, have a meal, if you don't go, it's okay." ”

In the next second, he put down his wine glass and said softly while picking up vegetables, "The Little Devil Hospital back then, in the location of the village school, the 10th team was also unlucky, in line with the principle of nearby arrangement, they were arranged in the 10th team by the large army. ”

He put down his chopsticks and smiled at Chen Fan, "At that time, I was still young, and I wasn't even old and tall, but I only remember that the adults in the village didn't like them, but they also took special care of them, for fear that they would suddenly disappear."

But then again, they are also pitiful,......"

Speaking of this, he shook his head, stopped talking, and just ate the food silently.

Chen Fan turned his head to look at the safety and Zhang Wenliang, both of them drank wine and did not speak.

Seeing this scene, Chen Fan knew what the "chief's order" meant in these years.

It means that even if you are not happy in your heart, you will firmly implement it.

At the same time, I also understood what Captain Yang meant by what he didn't say later.

Let's not talk about what happened later, at that time, Lao Gao and his wife were surrounded by hostile people, but they could only rely on these people to survive, and it was no wonder that life was better. And for the people of Team 10, I don't know how awkward it is in my heart, I obviously hate it to death, and I have to take care of it.

It's very helpless.

But life is like that, happy or not, twisting and twisting, and finally twisting together.

He pondered for two seconds, then raised his head and suddenly smiled, "Alas, captain, do you think Lao Gao's wife will make sushi?" ”

Captain Yang looked at him in amazement, and after a few seconds, he shook his head and said, "Then I don't know." ”

He turned his head and asked with a confused face, "What is death?" Is there a dish with this name? ”

Zhang Wenliang also had an inexplicable face, looking left and right.

Or the safety of the big pier is well-informed, coughed twice, and said with a smile, "What a mess, sushi, not to die, sushi is a kind of Japanese rice ball." ”

He turned his head to look at Chen Fan, "Then don't think about it, this is inland, not the seaside, there is no seaweed and no sea fish, you still have sushi, and it is almost the same to die." ”

Captain Yang looked at him, his face speechless, "You didn't mean to die. ”

Chen Fan smiled, picked up his wine glass and said with a smile, "Okay, then I'll go to his house and see if he has died." ”

Seriously, he doesn't really like to go to other people's houses to eat, let alone still be a small day.

But there is no way, the people of this year, especially pay special attention to the orders issued by the head of the army, even if so many years have passed, maybe the chief himself has forgotten, even if everyone hates Xiaori to death, but they will still follow the order, to raise Xiaori orphans, and treat them "equally".

Where is the same treatment, it is clearly "looking at each other".

And the people of the country are kind, and most people have a sense of compassion.

Otherwise, isn't it normal for one or two people to die in a famine year? But they were helpless and alive and well. Who would have believed it without the help of the villagers?!

Chen Fan himself didn't know what to say, anyway, he just went to have a meal, just treat it as an ordinary villager, don't think too much.

……

In the middle of the moon, only the four of them were still drinking in the courtyard. After all, Chen Fan had the advantage of being a latecomer, and successfully poured the three of them into a daze, and then asked Yang Ju and the three to assist several aunts to send them away.

In the courtyard, Jiang Lili came over to clean up the mess, and when she saw Chen Fan drinking by herself, she couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Are you unwilling to go?" ”

Chen Fan looked up at her and said with a smile, "There's nothing to be willing or unwilling to, the people of Team 10 have been with them for more than 30 years, I'll just have a meal, what's the big deal?" ”

After a pause, he said, "Besides, you see that night, everyone was quite nice to their family, and they should have slowly accepted it later."

People, it's all like this, comparing hearts to hearts, and getting along for a long time will have a little affection. ”

He saw that Jiang Lili's eyes seemed to be a little gloomy, and his mind immediately turned, and he vaguely guessed what she was thinking.

This is thinking that Lao Gao and they have all integrated into the village, but she herself is still ostracized, feeling nostalgic for her life experience.

He said softly, "You are different from them, they belong to external contradictions, or the kind of feud, not to mention this generation, even if it is the next generation, the next generation, written into the history books, and will not be forgotten for thousands of years." Now it is only because there is an order from the chief that individual people are accepted, and the situation cannot be generalized.

And your problem is just a little misunderstanding within us, not even a contradiction, and when the misunderstanding is resolved, there will be nothing. ”

Then he looked at her with a smile on his face, "Don't worry, this day should not be far away." ”

In fact, many times it is like this, first there is a cry below, and then there is an action above.

Chen Fan also learned from the side that Jiang Lili's father's problem was not serious, and it was more that competitors took the opportunity to fall into the ground, but even so, they failed to kick her father out of the unit. So as long as the east wind comes, it is easy to turn over.

Jiang Lili pursed her lips, her eyes brightened again, and she smiled and nodded gently, "Hmm." ”

The orange light sprinkled on her, and the smile was extraordinarily warm and innocent, which made Chen Fan a little distracted for a while.

When he came back to his senses quickly, he smiled casually, "It's late, wash up and rest early." ”

Jiang Lili pursed her lips and nodded with a smile, "I'll pour you water first, and when I'm done cleaning up, I'll go to rest." ”

Chen Fan looked at her back, turned around, raised his wine glass, and drank it all.

Ha, it's spicy.

It's better to brew some yellow bars yourself.

……

In the afternoon of the next day, Chen Fan rode a horse and was invited to the 10th team.

found Su Yujun first, sat with him for a while, and then accompanied by him, they went to Lao Gao's house together.

That's right, Su Yujun is the main escort invited by Lao Gao today.

Lao Gao's house is on the edge of the village, and there are no fences in the front and back yards, which seems to indicate an "unobstructed" attitude.

Chen Fan took a brief look and doubted the stereotype of "being very hygienic on a small day".

There is no garbage on the front of the field, but the two and a half pigs are so free-range, running around on the field, there are few complete places on the whole field, and there is a sour and rancid smell blowing in the face, which catches people off guard.

The place where the two pigs were supposed to stay was in the pigsty next to the house, the fence door of the pigsty was open, and next to it was the kitchen with a white mist, and it was not known what was cooking inside.

On a bamboo pole drying rack at the door of the kitchen, there are a few pieces of clothing floating, but the color is very suspicious, whether they have been washed or not?

Frankly speaking, this sanitary condition is really a bit unexpected by Chen Fan, and it can even be said to subvert imagination.

Just when Chen Fan couldn't help frowning, a person in the room rushed out, it was Lao Gao.

Seeing Chen Fan and Su Yujun coming, Lao Gao was extremely happy, and immediately ran over quickly.

Chen Fan was about to wave his hand to say hello, but he was startled when he saw Lao Gao kneeling on the ground.

Lao Gao was not good at words, he just kowtowed, and without waiting for Su Yujun to pull it, he quickly got up, bent down to say hello, and let the two go home.

It seems that kowtowing is his way of expressing his gratitude?

Chen Fan and Su Yujun glanced at each other, both smiled slightly embarrassedly, and then followed Lao Gao into the house.

The house was barely clean, and it could be seen that it should have been cleaned by surprise, but there were some old stains, which were really difficult to remove.

A 7 or 8-year-old boy was in the hall and saw Chen Fan and Su Yujun, his eyes were full of curiosity, but he didn't speak.

Lao Gao pulled the child and threw it on the ground, "Kowtow to Teacher Chen." ”

The child was ignorant, but he was obedient, and kowtowed without saying a word.

He also wanted to knock again, but was pulled up by Lao Gao again, "One is enough." ”

Then he grinned at Chen Fan with a mouthful of yellow teeth, and the smile made Chen Fan's scalp a little numb.

After two seconds, Lao Gao seemed to think of something, and hurriedly went into the room next to him.

Chen Fan only had time to look at this room at this time.

It is a very simple two-bay earthen wall house, the walls and the ground are not decorated, the loess walls have been peeled a little, and the ground is also mud, and even the most basic three-fold soil is not paved.

As for the layout, the entrance is a hall, and a small door to the west is the room, and then it is gone!

The furnishings in the hall are also very simple, with two portraits hanging side by side on the walls, one is Mr. Li and the other is Mr. Hua.

Below the portrait is the table of the Eight Immortals, on which is a large teapot, next to a stack of bowls, and then a few benches and chairs against the wall, and nothing else.

The child sat timidly in a chair, holding a toy made of bamboo, and he couldn't tell what it was.

Chen Fan smiled at him, and was about to speak, Lao Gao came out of the room again, still holding a pack of peony cigarettes in his hand, he clumsily tore out a big hole in the cigarette box, put his hands in front of Chen Fan and Su Yujun, and said with a sincere smile, "Teacher Chen, captain, please smoke." ”

Since they were all here, Chen Fan just couldn't see the sludge in his fingernails, so he directly pulled out two and handed one to Su Yujun.

Su Yujun received it in his hand and suddenly laughed without warning.

Lao Gao was a little inexplicably laughed by him, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at Chen Fan.

Chen Fan knew what Su Yujun was laughing at, he was laughing at himself for being a little uncomfortable, but he was still pretending to be nothing.

Think about yourself, although I also live in a mud-walled house in the educated youth point and wear the same clothes as everyone else, the topic of clean and orderly rooms and changing clothes every day is no longer news in Lujiawan.

Don't talk about cleanliness, at least it can be regarded as hygiene, and it has become one of the topics in the countryside.

But look at Lao Gao here, but anyone who pays attention to hygiene probably can't sit down.

But he can still sit with his eyes closed and take a cigarette with his eyes closed like someone who is fine, for Su Yujun, isn't that a very happy thing.

Lao Gao didn't know what they were laughing at, but seeing that they were both laughing, he laughed with them.

Perhaps hearing the laughter, Lao Gao's wife, who was busy in the kitchen, ran out and greeted them warmly, "Hello Teacher Chen, hello Captain Su." ”

He was busy pouring them tea.

Lao Gao slapped his head on the door, his face was full of chagrin and apology, how could he forget the rule that guests pour tea first when they enter the door? !

For this meal, Lao Gao's wife prepared for almost a day, and after a while, the dishes were served.

Today, Lao Gao had a treat, and it took a lot of money.

A braised rooster and a pot of hen soup, and the chickens slaughtered two. There is also a fish, a plate of meat and a few appetizers.

Originally, Lao Gao wanted to let his wife and children go to the kitchen to eat, but Chen Fan called him back and served it with him.

How to finish this meal, Chen Fan was no longer willing to think about it.

Whether the food is good or not, that's not a problem.

Because he didn't eat much.

When I eat vegetables, I basically only eat broad beans and soybeans, and the other dishes are also for the children opposite.

What is the main thing, the bamboo chopsticks are almost all dark black, Chen Fan doesn't even dare to touch the chopsticks, how dare he eat vegetables? !

Lao Gao thought that Teacher Chen was deliberately taking care of the children, and he was so moved that his eyes were red.

Although I didn't eat much, I drank two glasses of wine, so this "thanksgiving banquet" can be regarded as a complete merit.

Coming out of Lao Gao's house, Su Yujun took Chen Fan out of his house, turned his head to look at him, and before he could say anything, he laughed again.

Chen Fan was drunk, wiped his sweat, paused for two seconds, and smiled at him, "Did Lao Gao's children go to school?" ”

Su Yujun put his hands behind his back, walked forward slowly, and said, "I haven't read since I was in the second grade, and if I continue to study, I will have to go to Nanhu Primary School in the commune. ”

Chen Fan nodded slowly, came over for a while, and walked to the door of Su Yujun's house before he stopped and said to Su Yujun, "Captain, I'm not talking about Lao Gao's children, I just think it's better for the children to read more." If you don't have the conditions, think of a way, after all, one generation is stronger than the next, right? ”

The smile on Su Yujun's face retracted, and he sighed softly, "We've also thought about this problem, but we can't think of any good way." Teacher Xiao in elementary school is already too busy to lead two grades by himself, and if he has more, he really can't bear it. Again, add multiple teachers, and there is no suitable person,......"

Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Chen Fan said, "Didn't Su Guanglin finish elementary school, when he was in the veterinary class, I also taught them a small part of junior high school knowledge, and he can't do it?" ”

Hearing this, Su Yujun was stunned, his brows furrowed tightly, "It didn't work before, he only graduated from junior high school, and he still bought two old textbooks from high school at the scrap station, and he read them at home, and he only had that level after reading them for several years."

As for now, isn't he still going to be a veterinarian, this year almost every household in our team has expanded the breeding side business, he has been busy checking the chickens, ducks and geese of each household these days, and also using medicine to prevent, but I am afraid that there is no time. ”

Chen Fan smiled and said, "I don't mean to add new grades,......

Speaking of this, he stopped again, thought for a while and continued, "You see if this will work, first touch the situation, see if there are any people who still want to continue studying, not to go to school to attend classes, or to learn more, if there are a few people, you can find someone to teach those children a lesson every day, so that they can study without delaying their work." As for the teacher's labor fee, it is also a meaning to let the child's parents give a few catties of grain. ”

After finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at Su Yujun and said softly, "Of course, this is just my own little idea, whether it can be done, whether anyone is willing to be this teacher, and even if there are children who are willing to continue learning, I don't know, if it can be done, it should be regarded as paving the way for the next generation, so that they can seize it when they have the opportunity, if it doesn't mean it, I didn't say it." ”

Su Yujun nodded slowly, and then looked at Chen Fan with complicated eyes, "I used to call you Teacher Chen, and I shouted with everyone, but today I learned that you are a real teacher!" ”

Chen Fan smiled and waved his hand, "Don't say too much, no matter how much you say, I can't do anything else, I can only beat the side drum." ”

When Su Yujun heard this, he couldn't help laughing, "It's also a skill to beat the side drum." ”

Immediately stopped talking about this topic, helped Chen Fan get the horse, and sent him away.
