August.
Su Ye received a call from Director Lu, who told her that Lu Siyuan had been admitted to a school in the UK.
She opened her warehouse and was almost blinded. In an instant, a thousand pounds of pork belly appeared in the backstage. It was no longer a warehouse, but a slush fund.
Su Ye's breathing suddenly became disordered, and he felt as if he had accidentally found a national treasure-level leader. However, after searching through history, he could not find anyone similar to Lu Siyuan.
She actually underestimated Lu Siyuan. It turned out that taking extra classes was a roundabout way to save the country, and the person taking the extra classes was Lu Siyuan.
Su Ye prepared some gold bars. They were the wedding gifts from Zhou Honghan and Ning Ma to Su Ye. Su Ye had almost no chance to use the gold bars, so she packed a few gold bars and went over. Lu Siyuan was accompanied by three other students from the oil factory, all of whom were excellent students.
When Lu Siyuan saw the box of gold bars sent by Su Ye, the complex feelings in his heart could not be described in words. This small box of gold bars was equivalent to several thousand yuan. Even now that the price of gold is rapidly depreciating, it can be exchanged for several houses. Lu Siyuan's tears were in his eyes and almost fell.
He thought that he had never been the teacher's pride, never made her feel bad once, always causing trouble for her. Every time, she would always pull him out of the mud without any grudges, and give him some valuable things before leaving.
Su Ye said solemnly, "Take it, don't feel burdened. You will have a lot of money to spend when you get to England, so save some of it for future use."
She looked at the future big shot and added, "Science has no borders, but scientists do. I hope you will return to serve the motherland after you finish your studies."
Lu Siyuan was pushed by the crowd to the security check and boarded the plane. After the plane took off, he looked at the vast land under the blue sky and white clouds, thinking that he would definitely come back, and when he came back, he would become the pride of his teacher.
…
Su Ye counted the pork in his backstage, a total of 2023 kilograms, which included rewards for students' middle school and college entrance examinations, rewards for tutoring, rewards for helping Ruan Ruliang, and the bulk of the 1,000 kilograms of pork from Lu Siyuan's overseas study. All the pork would probably be eaten up by the end of the famine.
Su Ye's "Nicai Village Production Team" was in chaos again, and Ms. Fang and Guo Aiguo received letters from "Nicai Village".
"Dear Comrade Guo: I am glad to hear from you that our village has a batch of fresh wild boars that will soon be available for sale. They are raised naturally in the wild, and are in sufficient quantity and cheap, at 5 yuan per pound. I hope Comrade Guo will be more cautious."
Guo Aiguo's heart pounded when he saw the letter, and Ms. Fang almost fainted from excitement when she received the note. The meat supply to the city's supply and marketing cooperatives was cut off, and even pork on the black market was rarely seen.
At that time, the production team of Nicai Village handed over a batch of wild boar meat. Wasn’t it like a sleepy person finding his pillow or a long drought finally meeting a rain
As for being more cautious, Guo Aiguo himself is a public servant. If he investigates himself, who dares to investigate him? Guo Aiguo is not without suspicion of the mysterious "mud village", but he has no clue. Isn't "mud village" what you guessed it to be
What is certain is that this "mud village" is definitely not an ordinary trader who trades goods. Guo Aiguo has recently investigated a large number of smuggling and transnational illegal immigration and found nothing. It is a bit like a village living in an isolated paradise, not disturbed by the outside world, and the villagers are well-fed and well-clothed, and usually don't even have much money to spend on bills.
At 2 a.m., Guo Aiguo and Ms. Fang came to the familiar alley with dark circles under their eyes and unusually energetic. They saw three sacks in the depths of the alley, which were filled with a whole vat of pork, blinding their eyes. The couple was almost overwhelmed by the huge ecstasy.
The two people were both happy and sad, and they were busy until dawn when they finally finished moving the pile of pork.
Ms. Fang returned home and weighed the pork one by one. This time they took 350 kilograms of pork, totaling 1,750 yuan.
Fortunately, both her husband's family and her own family have supported them a lot of money during this period. Her cousin Fang Xiulian directly gave the couple 1,000 yuan. Otherwise, Ms. Fang would really have to pay for the pork for a while.
It's hot and pork can't be stored, so the couple both took leave today to deal with the pile of pork. Some should be sent to the freezer, while others should be sent to relatives.
Early in the morning, Fang Xiulian received 30 kilograms of pork delivered to her door. She was so surprised that she didn't even want to go to work. She quickly asked for leave to go home to process the pork. The pork was all exquisite pork belly. In the sunlight, the fat was white and delicate, and the meat was tender and fresh to the touch.
The more Fang Xiulian looked at it, the happier she felt, and she felt that her life had finally found a purpose.
…
Su Ye drove to the department store and bought some notebooks and pens for students. He put them into the car without blinking and almost cleared out the counter.
She went back to the staff quarters and bought some meat buns made by Master Yang.
Master Yang said with a smile: "You and Xiang Qian are the same. When he returned to the team, he would come to my shop first to eat some steamed buns. Now that you have been sent to the countryside, you are eager to come back to eat my steamed buns."
He spent his own food coupons to buy her two extra buns.
Su Ye has been in the countryside for more than half a month. Now everyone in the compound knows that she was so impulsive that she gave up her bright future and ran to the remote mountains to teach.
How good can the conditions in the mountainous areas be? Nowadays, people in the countryside are all trying to move to the city. Only Comrade Su Ye is stupid enough to choose to move to the countryside when she wants to live in a big city.
I thought she must have been worn out in the countryside, but she looked thinner, but still fair-skinned and energetic. Su Ye was tall and thin, wearing a clean white short-sleeved shirt and black trousers. She had bright eyes and white teeth, and a plum blossom brand on her wrist. She gave people a feeling of being bathed in spring breeze.
"Comrade Gu Xiangqian eagerly transported several bags of fine grain to the countryside for her last month. She didn't want her good lover, and even left her home to run away to the mountains! I think Comrade Gu Xiangqian is in trouble. She keeps him busy!"
"That poor place is so poor that you can't even produce oil. The daughter of the Zhang family went to the countryside and came home dark and thin during the Chinese New Year. Now she writes letters every day asking her parents to transfer her back. Don't you think it's miserable?"
He Meimei was queuing up for food. After listening to the lecture, she put her hands on her hips and said coldly, "Going to the countryside is the Chairman's call. Su Ye is supporting the mountainous areas. Do you think it is miserable and stupid to respond to the country's call? I will report your words to the organization! No. 1 Middle School has always reserved a position for her. I know that fewer people are better than fewer people."
Yao Chunyu heard that Su Ye went to the countryside to teach, but she never expected that Su Ye would go to an ancient village in the mountains.
It was a notoriously poor place in the whole township. Even after the reform and opening up, it was still half dead. Other villages were on the road to prosperity, but Shanggou Village was still trembling with poverty. Yao Chunyu knew clearly that the village was full of stubborn and ignorant people who idled around all day. Others had no time to escape from the pit of hell, but Su Ye plunged into it. What good future would there be for him in that place
Yao Chunyu thought Su Ye would not be so stupid as to make a living by taking his ideals and feelings like the young people nowadays. What on earth was it about Shanggou Village that attracted Su Ye
Yao Chunyu searched his memory and could only think of the world-famous tea from Shanggou Village.
No matter how lucky it is, Gu Xiangqian is now separated from Su Ye. The two are thousands of miles apart, but they have reconnected with the trajectory of their previous generations. Yao Chunyu submitted an application to study in Beijing. God personally sent the opportunity to her, and she couldn't miss it.
…
Su Ye returned to the countryside carrying two bags of rice. A female student from the educated youth dormitory ran up to her holding five white eggs.
"Teacher Su, the chicken laid eggs! We can all eat eggs from now on!"
Liu Gang's face was still full of excitement, he was holding the two chickens by their feet and grinning. Everyone surrounded him, staring at the chickens with curiosity and giggling, and the crowd kept on laughing.
The chickens would cluck occasionally, responding and responding in unison, looking like a group of fools. Su Ye suddenly felt as if his eyes were stinging.
Li Ming quickly stepped forward to report the good news to Su Ye: "We, we, have caught three chickens again!"
He was so happy that he could even speak fluently. Actually, it was no wonder that they helped people. They never thought that their luck would be so good. Meat was a rare thing in the early years. They only had one meal of meat in the whole year. They were so hungry that sometimes they would turn green when they saw the word "meat".
I didn’t expect that something that I could never dream of in the city would actually come true in the countryside.
Liu Gang, like the eldest child in charge of a big family, said thoughtfully: "These three are hens. We can have eggs to eat every day if we raise them."
All the brothers and sisters agreed with it and no one objected.
Su Ye put away his smile and said seriously: "The fact that we picked up these chickens and ducks should not be spread out. We should just keep quiet and eat meat, so that we can live in peace."
Everyone nodded seriously after hearing this. If they were to be afraid of thieves stealing, they would have to be afraid of thieves keeping an eye on them. If others knew how many chickens they raised, would they still be able to live in peace
Liu Gang said: "Teacher Su is right, we have to be more cautious. Sew up everyone's mouths and eat meat in silence!"
If he was almost robbed like last time, would he be so angry that he would die? Is it easy to catch a chicken after working so hard
In the evening, everyone ate delicious egg porridge, which was made with sweet potato cornmeal and five eggs. The porridge had a faint egg smell. Everyone drank it happily. After drinking it, they felt energetic and felt that life was full of hope.
Those female students seemed to have stronger hands than the girls in the countryside, and they did farm work nothing like city people.
In fact, it was not because they were strong, but because they ate well. Every day when they returned to the dormitory, they had meat for every meal, which was more filling than food. The grease on their lips was even more delicious than the grease in other people's stomachs, so of course they had the strength to work.
Gu Xiangqian sent Su Ye a lot of books about rice, and Teacher Ruan occasionally brought them some books and materials. Finally, everyone had some knowledge and could understand the way of agricultural production.
Liu Gang planted rice seedlings during the day and looked up reference books at night and said, "Rice is too delicate. No wonder there has been such a severe food shortage in recent years. If it doesn't rain this year, all our work will be in vain! Our sweet potatoes are more durable."
