Chapter 4: The Beginning of 1978's Guilty Life
"Xiaojuan, what are you doing?" Li Dong turned around and saw that Xiaojuan was writing and drawing with a small notebook, and the kid couldn't read and write.
You must know that in those years, there were really few people who knew words in the countryside, let alone a big child like Xiaojuan.
Take a closer look.,What's this?,There's a lot of things in the small book.,It's just too weird.,This egg Li Dong knows that the painting is quite similar.,The second aunt's aunt uses pinyin.,This picture plus pinyin plus Chinese characters combined to see Li Dong was stunned.。
Rice, the captain's grandfather, the captain can write the same pinyin as the word grandpa, and the little girl is keeping accounts.
Li Dong sat down with interest and pulled Xiaojuan over. "You're bookkeeping?"
"Well, the New Year's rations are still paid. ”
"That's not right. ”
Li Dong looked confused, these things were still returned, not sent. "In the past two days, we haven't seen the captain at dinner and said that he wanted to pay it back, what's the matter, there is still a return. ”
Xiaojuan lowered her head and whispered. "We've lived by ourselves. ”
It's a family by himself, Li Dong was stunned, this kid is quite sensible.
"Reach"
"Da?"
Li Dong was stunned again, and shouted to his father and Dada, and then remembered that Han Fu said that since he lived in Xiaojuan's house, he would be Xiaojuan's father in the future.
"Call Daddy. ”
Li Dong took the account book and flipped through it and smiled. "Sorghum, and sweet potatoes haven't been remembered, I'll come, wait for Dad to make something to eat for you later, we have vegetable oil today, and eggs, I'll make you an egg fried rice." ”
"No, I can't. ”
The villain was still lowering his little head just now, but this would be like a little hen opening his hand and stopping Li Dong.
"What's wrong?"
Don't all children like to eat egg fried rice, why is the little girl unhappy, Li Dong was strange, and only when he asked. "Changing the chickens?"
"Well, two eggs and a pound of rice for a chick. ”
Change the chicken, Li Dong was confused, the egg was not eaten, Li Dong looked at the little girl with a persistent face, forget it. "Okay, I'll go to the reservoir at night to see if I can catch a few fish, and I'll stew fish soup for you to drink, you see how thin you are." ”
When it came to the reservoir, Xiaojuan hugged Li Dong. "I don't eat fish, Dada...... Dad doesn't go to the reservoir. Xiaojuan was really scared, I was afraid that Li Dong would run to the reservoir again, she had no mother, father, just came a new father, Xiaojuan was afraid that there would be no more, at that time she was a child without a mother and a father.
Baijia rice is not delicious, white eyes, bullying, other people's mouths are lost, children are reluctant to play with them, Xiaojuan is afraid, Li Feng was hugged by Xiaojuan's legs and couldn't cry or laugh for a while. "Don't worry, your dad and I won't do anything stupid. ”
"Do you have a needle and thread at home?"
Xiao Juan pulled out a dustpan, there were some broken steps in it, some shoe shapes, and then needles and threads, thimbles, and mouths, etc., Li Dong pulled a needle. It's a pity that there is no vice, so I finally made a fishing hook with a stone and tied a good line.
"Make do with it. ”
In the ravine, there was no one as soon as it was dark, Li Dong took Xiaojuan with him, and he couldn't go out without taking her, so he locked the door and quietly went out of the village. According to Xiaojuan's words, there are militia patrols at night, and they can't tell if they are caught, but they have to be sent to the commune.
Xiaojuan led the way to avoid the militia, the reservoir was not far away, and when he came to the reservoir, Li Dong took out the bait.
It's so fragrant, Xiaojuan's little nose twitched, Li Dong mixed the bait, hung the hook, and patted the thigh, there are really a lot of mosquitoes, you have to find a way to get some mosquito killing equipment.
"Huh?"
"Hooked. ”
"It's pretty fast. ”
Li Dong didn't know, where did the fish and shrimp in the reservoir enjoy such a high treatment, fragrant bait, not to mention the fish, Xiaojuan wants to taste it.
"What's that?"
When I fished it, Li Dong was dumbfounded, this is Wang Ba, fishing and catching a wild Wang Ba, this is a surprise, I am so happy. "Good thing, hahaha, this thing is good, this one is at least a catty, and it is indispensable to ask for two or three hundred after forty years. ”
Not to mention, I really caught some good things this night, and I didn't catch a few fish, but Wang Ba caught three, which made Li Dong happy.
"Go home. ”
Stewed Wang Ba, this guy is nutritious, when he returned home, he was still thinking about how to stew Wang Ba, and Xiao Juan on the side had already climbed over to the head of the bed and came over with a pu fan to fan Li Dong. Sure enough, it's a little padded jacket, Li Dongle thought about it, it felt so good.
The one Li Dong slept on this night was called comfortable, but it was a little uncomfortable in the morning, and Xiaojuan shook Li Dong vigorously. "What's wrong?"
"Dad, get up to eat, go to work. ”
Eating, going to work, Li Dong muttered a little, no, let's eat at home today, when I saw that there were two bowls on the board, one large and one small, and the rice porridge with wild vegetables and coarse grains was fragrant, Li Dong swallowed his saliva.
But when I thought of coarse grains cutting my throat, I couldn't help but look at Xiaojuan with tears and laughter. "Don't you have rice at home, why don't you eat this, so let's cook, cook rice, and stew fish for you." ”
"I don't eat fish. ”
"Don't eat fish?"
Li Dong was stunned, this is a wild fish, how delicious it is, Li Dong has eaten several meals at the captain's house in the past few days, but he ate meat once, and those babies in the rich family in South Korea smelled the taste and drooled, but they saw it clearly.
Not to mention, Li Dong has always been puzzled, now when materials are scarce, when eating coarse grains and meat stars are hard to see, why no one eats fish.
When he went to work, Li Dong was still puzzled, but when he got to work, Li Dong had no idea at all.
Oops, carrying water to water the seedlings, this is unimaginable to go back and forth for a mile, Li Dong this morning, the whole person is already confused, no, no, if you continue to do this for three days, you will jump into the river.
I can't do it, oops, Li Dong shouted in pain. Xiaojuan tapped. ”
The shoulders are worn out, I haven't done farm work for many years, I can't do it this morning, I have to think of a way in the afternoon, Li Dong feels that if I continue to do it, I will definitely not be able to live.
Dididi, what the hell, Li Dong was lying on the bed screaming, it hurts, and a few Didi sounds sounded in his ears.
There is an LCD screen in front of me, and there are three rows of numbers on the screen.
70:15:56
200
2018.8.15
The first two lines of numbers, Li Dong doesn't understand a little, but the third line of numbers, this is not the date he came here, what is the situation, he was kidnapped by aliens.
"Is anyone there?"
Li Dong asked in a low voice, Xiaojuan went to the captain's house, there was no way, she really couldn't do it, she was going to die.
Han Fu didn't expect that Li Dong couldn't hold on in the morning, and secretly regretted that he shouldn't have settled down for Li Dong.
It's good-looking, it's useless, what a neat thing is this, but you can't really tire people out, Han Fu plans to go over and take a look.
Who would have heard Li Dong muttering something as soon as he arrived at the door, Li Dong was startled by the sound of the door opening, and thought that there were really aliens.
was so frightened that he rolled straight off the bed, oops, the fall was not light, and Han Fu was also taken aback. "What, are you alright?"
"It's okay, Captain, why are you here. ”
Li Dongxin said that the numbers didn't disappear, but what do you mean, shouting that no one cares, forget it, deal with Han Fu first. "I'll come and see, and tell you, you can pull the weeds in the afternoon, and you won't worry about carrying water. ”
"Done. ”
It was easy to pull weeds, and I thought I should be able to persevere, but after going to the field in the afternoon, Li Dong found that pulling weeds was not an easy job, the most important thing was that this goods were done by women, the elderly, and children.
"Let me just say, these educated youths can't make it, and they can't make up their strength. ”
"It's not good, look at the big guy, hollow bucket. ”
"Shame, shame. ”
This group of women, but they are not afraid that Li Dong will hear it, their voices are not suppressed at all, a group of little children are still screaming, Li Dong is so depressed, his back hurts, his hands are numb, and he is so tired from pulling weeds.
The most important thing is that the sun is too strong, this day can't be passed, Li Dong regrets it, Nima, went to the city to be a blind streamer, did the black market, and was locked up at most, but it was more comfortable than doing farm work, it was fatal.
"Huh?"
"What's changed. ”
The number on the screen is on the side, 70 has become 74, this time it has increased by four numbers, what is the situation, Li Dong was confused. However, this will not have time to care about these, and in the evening, Li Dong invited Han Fu and Korean soldiers, captains and accountants, and Li Dong planned to ask about the current policy.
Farm work, I can't do it anymore, I have nothing to do with farm work in this life, I don't have the material to do this piece, it's not that Li Dong looks down on the working people, he really can't work by himself.
The rice is stewed, the fried fish in vegetable oil is unfortunately not seasoned, and I finally understand why I didn't eat fish in the past, the fishy smell of fish and shrimp is too strong without seasoning, and then there is oil and salt in the past, it is not cheap in the past, just to make a fish, at least one or two oils are used, which is still saved by Li Dong.
Han Fu and Han Bing saw three or four bowls of dishes on the table, as well as white rice, and they looked confused, and the two looked at each other, doing evil. You must know that the rations that everyone brought over yesterday were intended for Li Dong and Han Xiaojuan for the autumn, and they would have to be eaten for at least three months.
This guy, looking at the food, let alone March, just the oil flowers on the fish soup and the eggs made the two team cadres, the corners of their mouths twitched, this is not a person who lives a life, the two looked at each other and smiled bitterly, there is going to be a big incident in the team now.
Leaving behind a young man with fine skin and tender meat, who still doesn't know how to live and eats and drinks heavily, this is a disaster, and this is a drought and a sin.
Xiaojuan followed behind the two and saw the food on the board at home, and with a whoop sound, she fell to the ground and cried, her own eggs, and her own little chickens.
