Several educated youths had been tired for two days, and finally got a good night's sleep this night. It was the first time that they had slept so comfortably since they knew they were going to the countryside.
As a result, when they woke up, they found that Dawang, Erwang, Sanwang and even Xiaowang were gone.
This…
Zhao Mingjie got up quickly and pushed Chi Fengshou up by the way. Chi Fengshou was a little unhappy and pulled his face, but got up anyway.
Lin Lan looked at them and smiled, "Did you sleep well?"
Zhao Mingjie: "Thank you Captain Lin, we slept well."
"That's good." Lin Lan motioned for them to get up and drink a bowl of water.
Zhao Mingjie asked curiously, "Where are the younger brothers?"
Lin Lan pointed to the outside, "It's morning exercise, you can also follow along."
Zhao Mingjie's eyes lit up, "Then I'll go."
Chi Fengshou, however, disagreed, "Is that meal enough to be active?"
Lin Lan smiled, "Don't worry, in Shanzui Village, as long as you work hard, you can eat enough."
Lin Lan got up to cook, and Mai Sui also got up to help. When she moved, Fan Xiao muttered, "It's so early."
Mai Sui: "You don't have to go to work on the first day, you can sleep for a while."
They don't need to go to work in the supply and marketing cooperative today, and in the future they will go to work at five o'clock when the farming season is busy, and at eight o'clock when the farming season is not busy, Han Yongfang is still very humane.
Huo Hongzhen and Gao Lu also got up, "I slept too soundly."
Mai Sui smiled and said, "Let's sleep inside, be quiet."
Fan Xiao muttered: "It's so noisy, who was talking in his sleep last night, hehehehe."
Mai Sui laughed: "It must be San Wang."
Hearing that it was Sanwang, Fan Xiao no longer disliked it, and rubbed his eyes, "Yo, the little third brother is still talking in his sleep, it's really fun."
Gao Lu pouted, in Fan Xiao's eyes, beautiful children are cute when they talk in their sleep, and dirty children are not sure what they are talking about in their sleep.
When washing, Fan Xiao saw that Mai Sui and the others also had toothpaste and toothbrushes and they were hygienic, but Gao Lu didn't brush her teeth. She shouted, "Gao Lu, don't you brush your teeth?"
Gao Lu blushed: "I-I forgot my toothbrush."
After a while, they watched Han Qingsong lead the children back.
A tall and straight man with a cold face, the steam on his body makes people dare not approach. A few children behind them also have their own characteristics, Yishui tank tops and shorts. There was no expression on Dawang's face, and he couldn't see anything different when he ran in. Erwang Junxiu's fair face was flushed, and there was sweat on his body. Not only was Sanwang not tired, but he was jumping up and down with excitement, and his black eyes were extraordinarily bright, like jewels. Xiaowang's hair was wet, and tiny drops of water flashed on his long eyelashes, making his peach blossom eyes more friendly and lovely.
What a delight!
Zhao Mingjie bent over, dragged his legs and rubbed over, panting, "Tired, exhausted, you, you... it's amazing."
Fan Xiao: "Zhao Mingjie, are you disabled?"
Zhao Mingjie sat on the ground and didn't want to move again, "You, you are not afraid that you will try."
He was a little unconvinced and wanted to compare his speed with Dawang, because he felt that his explosiveness was good. As a result, Dawang did not compare with him, let him try with Erwang, and then he lost facelessly.
He pointed to Erwang: "Second brother, looking at the text is very angry, I didn't expect it to be so fast. No, looks."
Fan Xiao gave Sanwang a thumbs up, "Little Sange, man!"
Sanwang: "Then I can't teach you to swim. You are a girl."
Fan Xiao: "...Actually, I can swim."
"You can swim?" Sanwang was surprised, "You are a girl and you can swim, even my sister can't."
"Swimming is very simple. I learned it when I was very young."
Sanwang was very interested, asked her where she studied, and learned about the swimming pool.
"Can you swim in a swimming pool all year round?"
"Every day, you can take a shower."
"You city people really know how to play."
"Hey, no, I'm also a countryman now." Fan Xiao sighed.
Sanwang ran to ask Han Qingsong, "Dad, where can we find a swimming pool here?"
Han Qingsong: "In the district?"
"That's too far." You can't run that far just to swim.
Han Qingsong went straight to the bathroom, rinsed with cold water, put on his clothes and went into the house to find Lin Lan.
Dawang waved at Zhao Mingjie on the ground, "Get up and stretch your muscles."
Zhao Mingjie shook his head, "Move, can't move."
Erwang: "If you don't move, it will hurt so much that you won't be able to get up tomorrow morning."
Sanwang jumped over, "Get down, I'm the best at stepping on my legs." He stepped on the eldest brother and the second brother.
When Lin Lan saw the children come back, she said to Erwang, "Second brother, go and teach Shen Zhiqing and the others how to cook." Most of the educated youths have never cooked and can't make a fire. If they accidentally set the house on fire, it will be troublesome. .
Erwang went to the bathroom to wash up, put on clean clothes, tug at his hair and go out.
Gao Lu caught up, "Brother Erwang, I'm with you."
Fan Xiao is not interested in cooking, and she doesn't want to learn if she is killed. She is now interested in Sanwang Xiaowang, these two children are really fun. She also looked at Xiaowang's paintings and said that she also paints, "I have studied music but can only play the guitar, I have studied oil painting and can only sketch, I will teach you."
Xiaowang: "What is a sketch?"
Fan Xiao told him, "You use a pencil to draw this thing in front of you."
She found Xiao Wang very interesting, no matter what he did, he seemed to come to a rhythm of his own.
Xiao Wang was immediately interested and brought his pencil and paper over.
Fan Xiao disliked it very much: "This pencil is not good, we can make it ourselves."
Sanwang and Xiaowang were curious about how to make pencils, and Mai Sui said they could cooperate with them.
Fan Xiao led Sanwang Xiaowang to fold the wicker, and came back to let Wheat Sui help to smoulder it. Good or bad, after trying a few times, there will always be success.
Erwang arrived at the brigade and found that he had set up the stove last night, and the brigade captain also sent some noodles over.
At the moment, Shen Yu and Xu Dongxing were busy, and Chi Min was blindly directing beside them, and they didn't catch half a box of matches.
Looking at the matchsticks all over the floor, Erwang's flesh hurts.
"The matches in this country are different, they're not good." Xu Dongxing was afraid of Erwang's joke, so he quickly made an excuse.
Erwang: "...The matches from the countryside are also sold in the city."
Shen Yu hurriedly said: "Brother Erwang, please teach me." Originally, the captain said that someone would come to teach in the morning, but no one came at this time, but Erwang came first, and Captain Lin was reliable.
Erwang taught them to take a bit of soft grass first, light a match and stuff it into the stove, and then slowly add grass. "Every day, the grass needs to be dried frequently, it's not good if it gets wet." Just now they just said the grass was too wet , so I can't light it, it's a waste of matches, and a box of matches is more than a dime.
When the fire was lit, Erwang let that Xu Dongxing set it on fire.
Xu Dongxing kept pulling his hair there. He felt that it was too dirty, so he turned his hair into gray, "You've all set it on fire, you can burn it."
Erwang stood up and said lightly, "I'm here to teach, not to cook for you."
Xu Dongxing's face changed, a farm boy, what are you holding on to
Shen Yu said hurriedly, "I'll burn it."
Erwang: "One burns the fire and the other cooks. You need two people to work together. You have to arrange shifts for two people to cook together in turn. Always have one person to cook, unless this person doesn't have to work."
Chi Min looked at Shen Yu, "Shen Yu, let's work together."
Wu Wenyi, who had been annoyed and did not speak, immediately objected: "Why the two of you? Be fair!"
He was dissatisfied with the two all day long, like a cockfighting cockfight, and he would say something when he saw it.
Shen Yu said: "That's it, when everyone comes over, let's draw lots and team up."
At this time, Cauliflower came over, and she smiled and said, "Why don't you hire me, and I can help you cook." She walked to Erwang and said softly to Erwang, "Let's help them cook and make money. Is it equal?"
Wu Wenyi: "Did we say we use you?"
Cauliflower ignored him and continued to ask Erwang.
Erwang said: "Even if they agree with me, I don't have time. You can join them and help them make some money by the way."
Seeing that he didn't agree, Cauliflower couldn't help feeling disappointed, "Hey, Yanyan doesn't go to school either, so I don't have anyone to play with."
Erwang taught Shen Yu how to make noodles. The first step is to learn how to make cakes. This is simple, and there is no need to make noodles. Add sorghum flour or fine flour to cornmeal, and just pat it on the edge of the pot.
Shen Yu learned very quickly, and Erwang did a good job in teaching.
Erwang smiled and said, "Brother Shen Yu is a fast learner. I'll teach you how to make other things when I have time." In addition to pancakes and wowotou, there are also dough rolls, steamed buns, pancakes, noodles, and so on.
Shen Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Ashamed."
Cauliflower tilted her head slightly, looked at Shen Yu and Erwang, and suddenly smiled: "I think you two look like brothers."
Their appearances follow their parents, but their temperaments are very similar, and they are all angry with Wen Xiu. Shen Yu is like a grown-up Erwang, and Erwang is like a younger Shen Yu.
Shen Yu smiled and said to Erwang, "That's really fate."
Erwang also smiled.
Cauliflower laughed again: "But it's hard to say what will happen in the future, maybe it's unknown, maybe it's already destined."
Hearing what a country girl said so mysteriously, a few educated youths looked at her.
Kong Jingwu Wenyi said: "You are contradictory, either unknown or destined, what is Xingxu? It's really uncultured."
Cauliflower's face changed, and she was immediately aggrieved.
Xu Dongxing ruffled his hair and raised his head, thinking he was handsome, "Why are you bullying other people's little girls?"
Cauliflower nodded.
At this time, Chi Min pointed to Erwang and Shen Yu, and smiled: "The future is uncertain, but one thing is certain, this little classmate is a few years younger, and there are more possibilities."
Gang Jing continued: "What's the possibility? At most, go home and farm until you are in middle school? Is there a difference?" Is it useful to go to school now? Not to call you home to farm. Instead of wasting money and time, it's better to start farming in the first place!
Chi Min is not annoyed, "Younger, there are more possibilities. Who knows when he grows up. But unfortunately, your future is very slim."
Cauliflower couldn't help but look at Chi Min, she said timidly: "Chi Zhiqing, I also want to study, but I'm stupid and can't study well. My family is poor and can't go to school all the time. Can you teach me?"
Chi Min glanced at her, a dry and thin country girl, except for her shrewd eyes, she said indifferently: "Isn't Shen Yu living in your house, why don't you let him teach?"
Cauliflower bit her lip and said nothing.
While talking, other educated youths also came over. Fan Xiao had to dress up because she was going to the commune. Caohua discovered that she had actually put on lipstick and was wearing a beautiful Bragi, which made her even more slim and charming.
Chi Min snorted coldly, who should I show the stinky beauty to
Erwang said to Shen Yu, "Brother Shen Yu, then I'll go back first. Let's have dinner."
Fan Xiao happily went over and said affectionately, "Brother Erwang, please trouble you. If you need help in the future, just say it."
Erwang smiled and said goodbye to them and went home. He could see that the atmosphere among these educated youths was very delicate, and that a little thought compared to his classmates was nothing. However, he has always been calm, even if this one draws him to the other, he will not do it.
Being myself, Ren Er was blowing in the south-east, north-west wind, and I stood still. This is what he learned from Lin Lan.
Erwang left the brigade, and cauliflower chased after him, "Erwang."
Erwang looked back, "Is something wrong?"
"When are you going to your third aunt's house?"
Erwang looked at her puzzled.
Cauliflower: "If you go and call me, I miss Yanyan very much. I don't know how she is. I haven't come back for a long time."
Erwang: "My mother has just been there, so I won't necessarily go."
Cauliflower smiled, "Anyway, if you go, just say hello to me."
Erwang nodded and agreed.
Looking at the tall and thin young man's back, a trace of pity and sympathy flashed in Cauliflower's eyes, and she raised her eyebrows and snorted. It just so happened that Chi Min came out to see her, she was so expressive at such a young age, she couldn't help but feel curious.
Erwang came home and was waiting for him to eat at home.
Lin Lan asked about the brigade, and smiled, "These educated youths have a high level of education, they are young, and they are more careful." They are not as simple as Huo Yuan.
Erwang discussed with Lin Lan and Mai Sui. Lin Lan didn't worry about anything, but encouraged them to interact with the educated youth, "There must be my teacher in the three-way trip. Watch, listen, and observe more, and we will learn more along the way."
The children agreed.
Han Qingsong went to work after dinner, and Lin Lan sent him out.
Han Qingsong said goodbye to her at the door and went east on a bicycle. After passing the brigade headquarters, he turned south and turned to the South Road. When he reached the brigade headquarters, he also heard the noise of the educated youth inside. When passing a haystack, a girl suddenly ran out from behind. Han Qingsong braked in time, and the girl slammed into his wheel and fell to the ground.
Han Qingsong got out of the car, "Is it alright?"
Cauliflower grimaced, rubbed her knees and shook her head, but her eyes were red and seemed to hurt.
Han Qingsong: "I'll take you to Doctor Barefoot."
Cauliflower shook her head, "No, it's alright." She lifted her trousers, her knees were scratched, and blood was oozing out.
Han Qingsong: "I still have to go to work, so let me ask someone to help you."
Cauliflower Hong shook her head with rims under her eyes, "No, no, Director Han, you can go to work. I'm fine." She smiled again, looking very strong.
The brigade, Shen Yu, came out to take a look when he heard the movement, and came to help when he saw it.
Han Qingsong said: "Shen Zhiqing, you help me send her to the barefoot doctor, and the cost will be settled by Captain Lin."
Shen Yu: "Director Han just keep busy."
Han Qingsong left first.
Shen Yu sent the cauliflower to the barefoot doctor for some red potion.
After breakfast, when the children went to school, Lin Lan packed up and took the female educated youth to the supply and marketing agency. Zhao Mingjie and that Xu Dongxing also wanted to buy some daily necessities, so they went with them.
The team leader simply sent a mule cart to take Lin Lan and the educated youth to the supply and marketing cooperative.
This year, the goods of the supply and marketing cooperatives have also been enriched, and the educated youths who go to the countryside will have some ticket subsidies, which are also convenient to buy. Toothpaste and toothbrushes, teapot lunch boxes, tableware, washbasins, soap, lunch boxes, tableware, etc. all need to be bought.
Fan Xiao also bought a thermos and a piece of fragrant pancreas. Gao Lu only bought toothpaste, toothbrush, toilet paper and alkaline noodles, but did not buy soap.
After shopping, Lin Lan asked them to relocate, and she went to the publicity team for a meeting.
After dinner, in the afternoon, the brigade wanted to give work points to the newly arrived educated youth and invited Lin Lan to go, but Lin Lan declined. After all, she rarely participates in manual labor now, and is not qualified to rate others.
Lin Lan cleaned up at home. The quilts were taken apart, washed and sewed, and the padded clothes had been taken apart and washed but hadn't been sewed. She was busy with Shen Yu.
He stood at the door and greeted him, and Lin Lan went out to have a look when he heard it.
"Captain Lin," Shen Yu told Lin Lan what happened in the morning. In the morning, Lin Lan went to the supply and marketing agency and he went down to the ground. He didn't meet him. Skin."
Lin Lan: "Thank you Shen Zhiqing, are you still used to cooking by yourself?"
Shen Yu smiled, "I was in a hurry and didn't know what to do, but it would be much better to have brother Erwang to help."
"Just get used to it, and tell the brigade if you have any difficulties. Set the work points in the afternoon?"
"Yes," Shen Yu looked at Lin Lan, "Captain Lin, how did you decide this? Is there anything to pay attention to?"
Lin Lan said: "Our team has two methods, one is to give you a base score, and then you will be based on this one day after you start work. The other is to determine the work points according to the work and how many work points you have completed. The bottom score is the highest of ten. , the average lesbians are 6 points, good 7 points, 45 points for physical weakness. The best male comrades are 10 points, the average 8 points 9 points, and there are also 6 or 7 points. The method is estimated to let you carry the burden and walk, see Let's see how long it lasts."
If you can match the labor of the village, you will give ten points. Generally, you can't achieve ten points. Ten points are the kind of people who have the strength to work and have the skills to farm and play. That's all-around.
In general, men with poor strength and skills are almost nine points, and other men are eight or seven points.
These educated youths were new to the scene, and they lacked strength and skills. Even Dawang couldn't compare to them. Lin Lan felt that three or four points, four or five points, could not be more. But she didn't tell Shen Yu, for fear that he would be embarrassed, it would be embarrassing after all.
"Thank you, Captain Lin."
Lin Lan: "You're welcome." She went to the brigade with Shen Yu, and she went to the barefoot doctor to settle the bill, and it was only five cents.
In the afternoon at the yard of the brigade, Han Yongfang, the brigade leader, Dong Huaihua, and several accounting scorekeepers helped the educated youth to assess their work points.
According to Lin Lan's estimation, it really is for them to carry the burden.
With two buckets of water and a pole, the captain first carried it around and walked around, walking like a fly, his face was not blushing and he was not out of breath, he said: "It is ten percent to walk four or five miles."
Several male educated youths felt that they were not bad, after all, they also felt that they were not weak on weekdays.
The brigade captain asked them to carry the burdens one by one, "Walk around the house of the brigade headquarters to see how many laps you can walk. One circle is worth one point."
Xu Dongxing is the oldest among these nine people. He is eighteen years old this year. He feels that he is tall and strong, and it is not a problem to walk a dozen laps!
He picked it up confidently, and it was easy for the first twenty steps, and he was singing "Moving forward, moving forward! It's easy!" After a lap, he began to slump his shoulders, hunched his back, and bent over.
After two laps, I couldn't move, it was very difficult on the third lap, and I knelt before the fourth lap.
Everyone: "… "
Three points! Eighteen year old boy!
Others did not dare to step forward, for fear of embarrassment. After all, Xu Dongxing was eighteen years old, and they were all seventeen or sixteen.
Shen Yu: "I'll come."
He carried a load of water, gritted his teeth and lasted four laps.
Han Yongfang: "Four points."
The bar was not convinced, and the result was two and a half minutes.
Fan Xiao was stunned that the two buckets didn't lift up, and he almost pushed himself to the ground. In the end, the two girls lifted them together and couldn't get down in a circle.
…
I am most afraid of the sudden freezing of the air.
Han Yongfang: "..." Special mother asked a bunch of scholars to carry the burden, she really wanted to vomit blood. A learned head can use up a thousand powerful heads, but at this moment, ten learned heads can't support one powerful head.
But the brigade can't raise nine people in vain, this year is a few thousand grains.
How to do this
Han Yongfang can't do the same, he can't whip these educated youths with whips, and they are right!
People themselves read books, or they are weak to study to find a way out, how do you know that is the case.
Captain: "Or..." Can you go back
Han Yongfang: "...let them go to morning exercises with the Qingsong family's children every morning, and go to work and the field during the day, and practice for ten days before scoring. If they keep doing this, they won't be able to get food for the autumn harvest and will have to starve."
"Ah—" Some people began to cry out with grief and anger, which was really embarrassing.
It's already July now, and they are about to harvest millet to harvest sorghum and beans, and soon to harvest corn and sweet potatoes. If these educated youths are still like this, they can't earn enough to eat, then why should the brigade send them food
And the work points are also unanimous, and they are not happy to give them special members.
As a result, the cadres and the educated youth broke up unhappily.
After school in the afternoon, the children first turned to the brigade and wanted to chat with them.
At this moment, the educated youth gathered at the brigade to prepare to cook while they were decadent. After all, their craftsmanship was not good. It took them an hour and a half to cook a meal in half an hour.
But apart from one or two educated youths, no one else knows how to do it, and he doesn't love learning as much as Shen Yu, so he started feuding over how to cook with a partner in just one day.
Because Shen Yu knew how to do it, Huo Hongzhen was okay, and everyone else wanted to partner with them.
Erwang directly gave them an idea, "There are nine people in total, one man and one woman, and the squad leader should serve as a supervisor to teach every day." Those people couldn't do anything by themselves.
Shen Yu agreed, "I'll be on my own for a day."
That way no one else has anything to say.
Gang Jing Wu Wen Yi kept roaring, "Why do you give me two and a half points and look down on me? I'm not a man?"
Sanwang burst into laughter, "Hahahaha, two and a half minutes? What have you done? Even if I work hard, it's more than three points."
The children cut grass, pick up cotton, etc., and the work points are not low. It's a pity that the educated youth are adults and cannot do the work of children.
Wu Wenyi glared at him angrily, believing that he was one of those country mud monkeys, and said contemptuously, "The superior people use their brains, and the inferior people use their physical strength."
How could Sanwang be afraid to fight with others? He himself has the potential to fight, "But at the moment you are using your physical strength, and the result is still inferior. That is the inferior inferior? Hahaha."
