All Heavens Pension started from the fiery era

Chapter 254 254. Interested in making friends
You don't need to ask. Given the living conditions of the educated youths, they definitely can't eat white porridge. This should be made specially because of his arrival.

With the small pickles, Yue Wenxuan ate half a pancake and a bowl of porridge, experiencing the dietary standards of the educated youths when they improved their lives.

Even if it is such a meal, the educated youth can't eat it every day, and only when they need to work hard, such as summer harvest and autumn harvest, can they improve.

Although Hongqi Village is considered a relatively wealthy village, the food distributed every season can barely feed the villagers.

During the time of tiring work, you need to eat more. At this time, you need to eat some hungry meals, usually cornmeal pancakes and rice.

When you are not too busy, you have to eat less, and the food is poor. At that time, you can’t eat golden corn pancakes. You can only eat black flour pancakes, often mixed with wild vegetables.

Black flour pancakes refer to sorghum flour pancakes or sweet potato flour pancakes, or black pancakes that are a mixture of the two.

Pancakes made from sorghum noodles are not too dark, especially sweet potato noodles or sorghum flour pancakes mixed with sweet potato noodles, commonly known as the Ace of Spades in some places.

The yield of sweet potato is high and the price is low, but if people eat it every day, people will not be able to bear it, so it is often eaten mixed with other grains.

Sweet potato noodles will oxidize and turn black during processing, so the food made looks particularly black.

Pancakes made of sorghum noodles, or pancakes mixed with sweet potato noodles, the black color is not important, the important thing is that they are unpalatable!

This kind of pancake is very hard, and it is hard to swallow and difficult to digest.

Compared with this kind of black pancake, the golden cornmeal pancake is a rare delicacy even though it is a bit harsh.

But among the rations distributed throughout the year, not to mention fine grains such as wheat and rice, even the amount of coarse grains such as corn is not much.

The largest quantities must be sweet potatoes and sorghum with high yields.

Therefore, most of the time, black flour pancakes are placed on the dining tables of every household, and yellow pancakes, white flour buns, and white rice are rarely seen.

The three colors of staples represent the living conditions of three different situations.

After eating this meal, Yue Wenxuan had a rough idea of ​​the living standards of the educated youths.

Generally acceptable.

In the current period, it is already a wealthy village to have such a standard of living.

Seeing that Yue Wenxuan had only eaten half a pancake and a bowl of porridge, an educated youth said apologetically:

"Brother Yue, this morning's meal is really a neglect.

The main reason is that the time for breakfast is too short, and I have to go to work later, so there is really no time to do other things.

For the lunch at noon, we will come back a little earlier, and we will make you a delicious meal, and you can try our handicrafts. "

"It's already very good. I eat this meal to experience your standard of living. There is no need to improve my life specially for me.

For the lunch at noon, I have already agreed that I will eat at Fang Zhishu's house, so I won't trouble you. "

After eating so many things that Yue Wenxuan brought, but not allowing him to have a good meal, the educated youths all felt a little sorry, and one of them said:

"This is so embarrassing, Brother Yue must give us a chance to repay.

If Fang Zhishu is not very sincere in his treats, it is better to eat in our courtyard. "

Yue Wenxuan said in a sincere tone: "I will come here often in the future, and I will definitely have another chance, so I don't need to do it today.

I have already made an appointment with Party Secretary Fang in the morning, so it is not easy to miss the appointment. "

After breakfast, the other educated youths hurried off to work, leaving only Yue Xiangshu and Yue Wenxuan in the educated youth courtyard.

There were only two people left, so Yue Wenxuan didn't need to have any scruples. He took out a stack of tickets, handed them to Sixth Sister, and said:

"You keep these tickets. On the way here, I paid special attention to it. Hongqi Village is quite close to the town, which is about three or four miles away.

If you have any shortcomings, you can go to the town to buy it, which is convenient. "

Yue Xiangshu looked through the tickets in her hand, mainly food stamps and cloth tickets. The food stamps weighed [-] catties, and the cloth tickets were enough for her to make two clothes.

There are many types of tickets for other daily necessities, but the quantity is not large, such as soap tickets and towel tickets, each of which is one or two.

Yue Xiangshu didn't put away the tickets immediately, "When I went to the countryside, I had already prepared all kinds of daily necessities, so I don't need to buy other things in a short time.

Before I went to the countryside, the [-] catties of food stamps you gave me were useless, and these tickets were useless, so you should take them back. "

"Why can't it be used? You educated youths are all eating in the same pot. If you want to eat something good, you can't do it yourself.

Whenever you get hungry, you can go to restaurants in the town, or you can call a friend or two.

In this regard, you don't have to care too much about other people's opinions. If you have tickets in your hand, you have to spend them.

Is there enough money?If it's not enough, I'll give you some more. "

"Before departure, I didn't even spend a penny of the 20 yuan you gave me, and we educated youths have resettlement fees, and they basically didn't move, so we don't need the money."

Yue Wenxuan knew that Liu Mei had money, so he didn't give it to her.

For this kind of collective life, you only need to carry enough money on your body, and it is not easy to put too much money.

The main reason is that Hongqi Village is not far from home. If it is not in the busy farming season, I can ask for leave and go home at any time.

When Yue Wenxuan and Fang Zhishu establish a good relationship today, it will be more convenient for Sixth Sister to ask for leave.

Yue Wenxuan continued: "After you've been busy for the past few days and the public food is distributed, you can ask for leave and go home.

I will leave this bicycle to you today, and it will be yours to use in the future. "

"Then how do you go back, can't you go back?"

"I've already made an appointment with someone, and a friend will come to town to pick me up in the afternoon."

This is of course just an excuse.

In fact, he had already bought a new bicycle in advance and put it in the system space.

"No one in our Educated Youth Academy has a bicycle. If you leave this bicycle to me, will it be too conspicuous?"

"There is no need to worry about this. After I came here, everyone knows that our family is in good condition.

Besides, this bicycle was left for you after I came here. Even if someone is jealous, they can only hold it in their hearts and can't say anything.

Besides you, there should be educated youths from the city in Hongqi Village, right? " Yue Wenxuan asked.

"There are four more people, two of them are old educated youths, and the other two are new educated youths who just arrived this year just like me."

"Don't all four of them have bicycles?"

"The two old educated youths definitely don't have any, and the two new educated youths don't have any for the time being, but the family conditions of the two are also good. I have a bicycle, maybe they will buy it too."

Yue Xiangshu knew all aspects of the educated youths, including their family conditions, very well.

Yue Wenxuan believed in her judgment, "If the two new educated youths also bought bicycles, then you won't be too conspicuous as the first educated youth to own a bicycle.

Before that, if the other four educated youths want to go back to the city, they will ask you to borrow bicycles, and you can just lend them generously.

There is no need for any reward from them, our family does not lack this thing, as long as we can remember your favor in our hearts. "

Yue Wenxuan specifically told this matter because he was worried that Liu Mei was inexperienced and didn't know how to deal with it, so he gave her advice.

After all, a bicycle is a big item, and unless there is a real need, no one will borrow it easily.

Thin-skinned people borrow bicycles, and they will give some compensation.

If the journey is short, just give a few pieces of candy to make sense of it. If the journey is long, what kind of compensation will be given depends on the situation.

From the city to Hongqi Village, it takes [-] miles to go back and forth. The journey is a bit long, and the wear and tear on the bicycle is a bit big.

There is no standard for how much or how little should be paid, and those who are thin-skinned will definitely give a little more. If they take all of it, it will appear that Liu Mei is too greedy.It would be very troublesome to charge less, and it would be very troublesome to let them go. It is better not to charge at all.

Of course, if you meet someone who is very thick-skinned and very stingy, you can't deal with it like this.

But people in this era are very concerned about their own reputation, and they are thin-skinned. It is generally difficult to meet people with a particularly thick skin.

In case of encounter, Yue Wenxuan believes that Sixth Sister can handle it well.After all, the right to borrow or not is in the hands of Liu Mei, and she can choose not to borrow for any reason.

Yue Xiangshu can grasp the sense of proportion in getting along with others, what she lacks is life experience.

The two of them were talking, and the whole morning passed before they knew it.

When the two of them were in the house, they heard someone shouting loudly in the courtyard: "Is Zhiqing Yue in the house?"

The two walked out of the house, and when a boy of twelve or thirteen saw them coming out, he said shyly to Yue Xiangshu, "Yue Zhiqing, my grandpa told you and your brother to come to our house for lunch.

Come over early, I'll go first. "

"Wait a minute, don't rush away." Yue Xiangshu shouted.

The boy stopped and waited for a while, Yue Xiangshu grabbed a handful of candy from the house and stuffed it into the boy's hand.

The boy refused for a while, and finally ran home briskly with the candy in his pocket.

After the young man left, Yue Xiangshu said to Yue Wenxuan, "He is Fang Zhishu's eldest grandson."

Yue Wenxuan said: "Then let's go, don't let the off-workers see, just bring a few snacks."

"The two of us went to eat, just a few snacks, is it too little?"

"I went to Fang Zhishu's house first in the morning, and I have already put down two bottles of Moutai and a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes. Let's go to eat at noon, as long as we don't empty our hands."

Yue Xiangshu was a little surprised, "Why did you give so many things, is it a little too much?"

"After all, it is the first time to visit the door, so be more polite, so that he can have a deep impression.

Besides, this is not too much for me, and you don't know that I put a lot of Moutai and Zhonghua cigarettes in there. "

Yue Xiangshu felt a surge of heat in his heart.

He knew that his elder brother had Moutai and Zhonghua cigarettes at home, but he would not use them easily.This time, he gave Fang Zhishu so much generously, naturally to let Fang Zhishu take more care of her younger sister.

After all, they are brothers and sisters. Although Yue Xiangshu was moved, he didn't say anything grateful.

The two brothers and sisters carried a few snacks and walked into the courtyard gate of Fang Zhishu's house.

"Hey, Wenxuan, you are too polite, why did you come to the door twice a day with something?
If you come to the door in the future, you are not allowed to carry any more things, otherwise, I will be too embarrassed to invite you. " Fang Zhishu said in a complaining tone.

Yue Wenxuan said: "It's just a few snacks for the children at home. They are all ordinary snacks, not so expensive."

Yue Xiangshu sat in the room for a while, said a few polite words to Party Secretary Fang, and then went to help in the kitchen.

"Work will be off soon, do you want to call several brigade officials over to get to know you?" Secretary Fang asked Yue Wenxuan for his opinion.

"I think it's fine this time, and we'll talk about it later when we have a chance.

Although it's close, I don't have any relatives or friends in Hongqi Village. From now on, I'll look for Party Secretary Fang. "

Ganbu of the village committee sounds like a lot of people, but there is only one person who is really in charge, and that is the village party secretary.

As long as Yue Wenxuan has a good relationship with Fang Zhishu, it doesn't matter whether he knows other village officials or not.

If he still has the opportunity to come to Hongqi Village in the future, it would be fine to get acquainted with Ganbu from other villages when it is convenient, but not this time.

Fang Zhishu actually meant the same thing, otherwise, he would just have to call the other village officials over instead of asking Yue Wenxuan for his opinion.

His intention of doing this was obvious, just to make friends with Yue Wenxuan.

The reason is that Yue Wenxuan is a local, and if he knows more about such a network, it will definitely be useful in the future.

How could he pass on such a good opportunity to make connections to others.

Only when he and Yue Wenxuan got on a stronger relationship would he introduce other Ganbu in the village to him.

In order to entertain Yue Wenxuan's guests in the city, Fang Zhishu's wife and his eldest daughter-in-law left work early to go home and cook, and now they are ready.

The two had just drank a cup of tea when the table was already set.

From the gift Yue Wenxuan gave and the information revealed in his words, Fang Zhishu judged that his family was not simple.

Therefore, the specification of this lunch is very high.

The main course is old hen stewed in a large iron pot. In addition, there are braised pork, steamed fish, and scrambled eggs with leeks.

There are six dishes in total, but there are four hard dishes. Even if ordinary people have the heart, they don't have the conditions.

Sitting down at the dinner table, Yue Wenxuan said:

"It's too polite, steamed fish and braised pork, it looks like the big carp and fat pig that were killed that day are used.

In order to entertain me, I even troubled Party Secretary Fang to go to the town for a special trip, which made me feel a little bit sorry. "

In order to entertain the guests well, the host prepares with all his heart, but what he fears most is that the guests will not appreciate this kindness.

Yue Wenxuan said that Fang Zhishu's hard work all morning was not in vain.

He said casually: "I didn't go to the town on purpose, I just happened to have something to go to the commune, so I bought fish and meat by the way.

After all, it's your first time visiting, so I have to treat you well, otherwise, I'm not enough friends. "

With Fang Zhishu's kindness, Yue Wenxuan stopped being polite, "I am ashamed to accept Fang Zhishu's kindness.

When you go to Shanghai next time, be sure to call me, or go directly to our unit, and I invite you to have a good meal at Yanyun Tower. "
