Chapter 3 Settlement in the Production Brigade

"Xiaojuan, is your home far away?"

Li Dong has nothing to say, just now Han Fu told Li Dong about Xiaojuan's situation, this child is also pitiful, his mother is a knowledgeable youth who was admitted to the secondary school last year and left the two of them to return to the city, and his father went to the city to find his mother and made a conflict and plunged into the Yangtze River and never came up.

There are no grandparents at home, and now they say that it is better to eat a hundred meals, but each family can't eat how much they can give their stomachs, and they are actually six or seven years old when they look like they are three or four years old.

The hair is yellow and messy, the face is not sallow, but it is swarthy, but it has a pair of big eyes that are quite watery, a little timid in nature, and a small voice.

"No...... Far. ”

It's just that it doesn't go far for six or seven minutes, and the road is not easy to walk at night, with potholes and depressions, but there is no stone road after that.

Carrying a horse lantern, the captain of the Korean rich family, this thing Li Dong has seen in the museum is the first time to use, the production team has no electricity, can only light kerosene lamps at night, of course, few families are willing to order this luxury thing, as soon as it is night, go to bed.

It's only seven or eight o'clock, the whole village is already quiet, there is no dog barking, there is no surplus food at home to raise dogs, cats, who has this thing will definitely be poked in the backbone and said that it is a loser.

The village is dark, quietly, except for a little movement in the mountains from time to time, this way, Li Dong is still a little worried.

The word black light blind fire, Li Dong now has a deep understanding, and finally came to Xiaojuan's house by the horse light, the darkness is not clear, the horse light can't be lit, and then Li Dong will be really tired, this road is one foot high and one foot short, it is already weak, and he will be tired after walking for a few minutes.

There is this way again, there are many mosquitoes are scary, and the bites are uncomfortable, this time back in the house, Li Dong wants to find a bed and lie down, where do you know what is going on in the house.

It's just that it's hot, there are a lot of mosquitoes, and the wooden bed has a really hard diaphragm, and I can't fall asleep when I turn it over.

"Xiaojuan, why are there so many mosquitoes?"

"What do you usually do at home?"

What are you sleeping, mosquitoes are going to eat people, it stands to reason that after such a long drought, there should be fewer mosquitoes.

Xiaojuan got up and took out some pampas grass sticks, lit puffs of smoke and rose, Li Dongfa was stunned, what is this, mosquito coils can't be made, this is too choking.

Forget it, forget it, Li Dong smiled bitterly, this is a good era to be alive in 1978, what do you care, sleep.

The mosquito buzzing was too uncomfortable, tossing in the middle of the night, Li Dong finally fell asleep, and a cool breeze came in the middle of the night, which was good.

When I woke up in the morning, I found that Xiaojuan was lying on the side and still holding a broken pu fan in her hand, and the cool breeze at night was fanned by this girl, Li Dong just moved a little, Xiaojuan got up and looked at Li Dong with big eyes.

"You fanned me yesterday?"

"I chase away mosquitoes. ”

No wonder I slept so comfortably in the second half of the night, there were no mosquitoes and a cool breeze, it turned out that Xiaojuan helped drive away the mosquitoes. "Sleep, I'll get up and walk around. ”

Xiaojuan saw Li Dong get up, and got up with a grunt, the captain's grandfather gave Xiaojuan the task, to be optimistic about his uncle, not to throw himself into the river, as soon as he thought of throwing himself into the river, Xiaojuan thought of his father, and he couldn't find it in the river.

Li Dong looked helpless, what is this little girl doing with her so closely, looking at the house, the good guy is ventilated everywhere, no wonder there are many mosquitoes, there is no furniture at home, two big boxes, and a table, a bench, and a few small benches.

A broken water tank, and a millet tank, Li Dong opened it and looked at it, Mi Xing didn't really have anything.

The water tank is placed under the window, and there is a gap in the boss, saying that the window is just a few sticks to support it, but there is a newspaper on the wall.

Although the four walls of the family are not counted, but not much better, there is no rice in the rice tank at home, there is no water in the water tank, but the stove is still in the shed set up on the side, but the pot has long been broken, not to mention the others, not to mention not even a kitchen knife, a set of dishes and chopsticks is complete, a family of three.

Now there is only Xiaojuan left, Li Dong sighed, this child is pitiful.

Go out and take a look, the adobe wall, but it turned out to be a stone pile of wall foundations, straw roofs, not to mention that this house is not bad at this time, there are stone wall foundations, which can be envied by many people.

"You don't have to follow me, I'm going to wash my face. ”

Li Dong planned to go to the creek to wash his face, but at this time he had not gone around the village canal, so he could only go to the creek to wash his face, but fortunately, it was not far away, and there was still a little bit left after the stream dried up. Li Dong wanted to go down to the bottom of the stream and scoop some water to wash his face, but as soon as he was about to go down, he stopped Xiaojuan.

The villain pulled the hem of Li Dong's clothes tightly, pitiful, and Li Dong was confused. "What's wrong?"

Xiaojuan shook her head, Li Dong couldn't cry or laugh, what does this girl mean. "I wash my face, can't this water wash my face?"

Xiaojuan still shook her head, this girl, Li Dong really doesn't know what to say. "Okay, okay, don't wash your face here, I'll go to the captain's house. "Yesterday, Han Fu said that when he went to his house for dinner in the morning, Li Dong was not polite, mainly because he was not able to be polite.

Came to the rich family in South Korea, good guys, a family of more than ten people, lively, a few small dots running all over the yard, Li Dong and Xiaojuan came over, the two daughters-in-law of the rich South Korea also rolled their eyes, and the family rations were not much, so they came to eat for nothing.

Fortunately, the rich in South Korea said the same at home, the rice porridge eaten in the morning with some wild vegetables and rice crackers, vegetables, what vegetables to eat in the morning, not to mention no vegetables, no pickles to eat, pickles do not need salt, it is good to mix a full stomach.

"What are your plans?"

South Korea's rich man saw that Li Dong's spirit was not bad, thinking that if Li Dong didn't solve this matter, it would be a thing, and it would be difficult to delay, who would have no extra rations to eat.

"Is there anyone else in the house?"

Li Dong shook his head, home, who will he go to after one or forty years.

"Captain, I want to settle in our production team. ”

It is too difficult to get a hukou in the city, and the difficulty of getting it by yourself is similar to that of making an atomic bomb by yourself, but it is the most reliable to settle in the production team.

"Settled in our production team?"

South Korea is rich, this is not impossible, there are also a lot of educated youths who have settled down, after all, the first batch has been more than ten years, and they are about to marry a daughter-in-law when they start a family and have a baby.

"Done. ”

South Korea's rich clapped his hands and gritted his teeth. "In this way, Xiaojuan's house is given to you, Xiaojuan's baby is under your household registration, do you think it?"

"Huh?"

Li Dong was stunned for a moment, and glanced at Han Xiaojuan, who was lowering his little head on the side. "Cheng, Xiaojuan will come with me in the future. ”

"Xiaojuan, would you like to?"

Li Dong turned his head to look at the little guy, after all, he was a dove occupying the magpie's nest, and he couldn't guarantee that Xiaojuan had any opinions, and the little girl nodded her little head.

"Okay, I'll go to the commune to implement this for you in a while. ”

Now it's simple to get a household registration, the captain comes forward to make a certificate, and it is enough to write a material and hang the household registration, you don't need to investigate your parents, the matter of settling down is easy to do, and it will be done in the morning, and if you get the certificate, Li Dong will be a member of the Han family's brigade.

Li Dong is a tall man, and he can contribute at a glance, but the opinions of the production team are not big, one more ration, in exchange for a sincere labor, everyone has an account in their hearts.

"When it's time to call it a day, everyone is going to come and see if you have a home. ”

Han Fu said, how can I say that it is also moving to a new house, it is lively and lively, Li Dong is a little embarrassed to say this, there is nothing to entertain the big guy. "By the way, this is your clothes, your aunt washed it for you and dried it. ”

When I first got the clothes, my family also said that the fabric of this dress is really good, it does not shrink at all, especially the shorts are thick, the clothes are worth at least five yuan, and the shoes, which I have never seen, are not cheap at first glance.

Li Dong is now wearing Han Dong's clothes, not to mention patches, but also out of shape, at this time it is good to have clothes to wear, seventeen or eighteen years old bare butt is not nothing, new clothes in the countryside not to mention a year and a half, it would be good to see a set in three or five years.

"You don't have to take it off, you didn't change it, you can keep this clothes. ”

Han Fu saw that Li Dong was about to take off his clothes and waved his hand, after all, there are still a few sets of captain's clothes, and if there is this one, it will be washed and white, and it won't last long.

That's embarrassing, Li Dong actually doesn't want to wear it, but when he thinks about it, he really has a set of clothes, so he can't go without changing them every day. It's true that the modern people who came after 10 or 40 years were embarrassed and didn't even have clothes to wear.

It is necessary to find out the current situation as soon as possible, not to mention anything else, to get food and clothing.

"By the way, there's this thing, it's in your pants pocket. ”

Speaking, Han Fu took out a fish bait, never thought that this thing would also be brought over, Li Dong took the bait, good things have it, maybe you can catch some fish and shrimp, you know, this is the Yangtze River Basin, the surrounding water system extends in all directions, not to mention that fish and shrimp are indispensable in the reservoir.

"It's mine, I bought it last time I went into town. ”

Li Dong took it over, thinking about looking back to see if he could catch some fish, it was not good to say this in front of the rich face of South Korea, after all, the reservoir belongs to the collective, and if he runs the reservoir to fish, he may be caught.

In the past half a day, Li Dong was not wandering around, but he found some news, the propaganda slogans of the production brigade, or the revolutionary struggle, and so on, not only these, but also Li Dong inquired about the land reserved by each family, as well as the situation of raising chickens and ducks.

The most are the rich families in South Korea, five ducks, five hens, a total of ten, more than ten in these years, that is the tail of capitalism, to be cut off, now the world will report to you if you don't pay attention to it, and it is glorious to report it at this time.

It's not a joke, if you really get caught, you won't have anywhere to shout for more than ten or twenty years, and as for the speculation that dozens of pieces are often shot, Li Dong doesn't want to be caught and shot.

Li Dong was ready to go to the reservoir at night to get fish and shrimp to improve his life, and in the past two days, he has eaten rice porridge, wild vegetable rice cakes, and rice every day, and the oil and water in his stomach have been brushed clean.

No wonder it is said that people nowadays want to eat meat, and there is no oil and water in their stomachs, you say vegetables, a few drops of oil are stewed in a pot, not to mention that the lard stars can't be seen, and it is difficult to eat enough.

In the evening, everyone came over, Li Dong was also a member of the Han family's brigade, Han Fu carried a bag of rice, more than ten catties of rice, and the other families came with half a bottle of vinegar, or half a catty of soy sauce, a bag of salt, or a few handfuls of beans.

Li Dong looked at the rice about twenty or thirty catties, and the accountant Korean soldiers sent half a catty of vegetable oil, which is a good thing, and a catty is now more than seven cents, and it is not easy to buy.

There is not much vegetable oil in each family, and half a catty is sent, which is generally enough for half a month at home.

Li Dong was happy to have fried fish to eat, and he thanked everyone and sent everyone out. When I went back to the house, I saw Xiaojuan packing up and hurriedly came over to help, get a fish at night, and it will definitely be comfortable to eat stewed fish tomorrow.
