Quick travel to save a miserable life

Zhang Jianshe led four people to the village. Most of the people they saw along the road were low adobe thatched houses. After walking for six or seven minutes, they arrived at the team headquarters.

To Lin Hui's surprise, the team headquarters was actually a green brick walled compound.

The yard is very spacious. It is estimated to be three or four times the size of the yard in the Educated Youth Point. It has five main rooms and two east and west wing rooms. Moreover, the houses are all made of bricks, with blue bricks and black tiles. It is almost like a house among the thatched adobe houses in the village. A unique existence.

Seeing everyone's surprise, Zhang Jianshe explained: "The house and yard belonged to a landlord in the village before liberation. Later, all his family members ran away, so this place belonged to the team. This house is the strongest in the village and does not leak. , it became the team’s office and granary.”

Just as he was talking, the old branch secretary walked out of the main room together with three or four people.

Party Secretary Han introduced to everyone, "This is Captain He, the production captain of our team. This is Accountant Han of the team. This is Han Xiaozhu, the custodian of the team. When you borrow grain, you must sign the account and sign it. You need a big guy." You have to sign and register the food before you can take it away!" said Party Secretary Han.

Captain He Guoliang came over first with a smile and extended his hand to Zhao Lei and Zhang Moran enthusiastically, "Welcome educated young people from big cities to support the construction of our production team!" Accountant Han seemed to be a serious person, facing The big guy nodded, "Hello, welcome to Hanwa Production Team!"

Secretary Han asked Xiaozhu, who was standing aside and giggling, to open the door to get the food. He found a key from a bunch of keys on his belt and opened the door to one of the west wing rooms.

This seemed to be a farm tool room. There were several shelves against the wall of the room, displaying various farm tools. There were four bulging sacks on the ground near the door. It seemed that these were the grains that were to be lent to them.

"There is nothing else in our team, but sweet potatoes are the most important. Each of you will lend you 100 kilograms of sweet potatoes to eat first. After the autumn harvest, the team will distribute the food and return it. This sack of sweet potatoes is given to you. You can use it later." Used to hold other grains." Captain He told everyone with a smile.

Several people looked suspicious, "Didn't they say they wanted to borrow food? Why were they given sweet potatoes and nothing else?" Zhang Muran couldn't hold his breath and asked in confusion.

The old party secretary saw everyone's doubts: "Our province is said to be a major grain-producing province, but it is also divided into regions. Our Ku County has never been a high-yield area. It has thalassemia and the output is not high. It is difficult to avoid eating the national relief grain." It’s pretty good, but sweet potatoes don’t have to pick the ground and have high yields. So there are so many sweet potatoes like ours, which can at least satisfy the stomach, and the different varieties can’t even be half-full. Otherwise, why are we called Kuxian County? It’s really The life of a commune member is hard!”

Lin Hui sighed in her heart: Alas, the entire country is not rich now, and the farmers at the bottom are even more miserable. I have a great opportunity like space, and my life should be safe. Can I help change my destiny at the same time? More people can be considered as accumulating blessings for themselves.

Given the chance to live again, Lin Hui, an original atheist, became no longer firm and began to believe in God's will.

After hearing what the old party secretary said, a few people stopped talking. What else could they say? Just sweet potatoes, it’s better than nothing!

Several bags of sweet potatoes were reweighed in front of several people.

The weight was no problem, so a few people signed and fingerprinted the team's ledger.

Before leaving, Captain He told them to take a day off tomorrow and go back to work the day after tomorrow.

There were four bags of sweet potatoes in total. Zhang Jianshe and Han Xiaozhu carried one bag each, and the remaining two bags were carried back to the educated youth point by the other four.

Han Xiaozhu put the sweet potatoes in the yard and left, "Where should I put this sweet potato?" Zhang Muran asked breathlessly. Lin Hui, who worked with him to lift the sweet potatoes, was also very tired, and the two hands holding the sack were tired. flushed.

"We, the educated youths, eat their food together and take turns cooking. You see..." Zhang Jianshe asked several people.

"Let's go with the big guys!" When we first arrived, it was better to follow the crowd, several people expressed their opinions at the same time.

"Then let's put it in the cellar with our original grain, otherwise it will break easily!" Zhang Jianshe walked to the firewood shed and opened a bundle of firewood, revealing a wooden board underneath. When he opened it, he revealed a firewood with a diameter of more than half a meter. The circular hole turns out to be the entrance to the cellar.

Lin Hui took a closer look. It seemed to be three or four meters deep, and it was dark inside.

Zhang Jianshe first asked Zhao Lei and Zhang Moran to put him down with ropes, and then used hemp ropes to hang the sweet potatoes in the sacks and put them into the cellar. He untied the sacks inside, took out the sweet potatoes, and stacked them. In this way, he put the four bags of sweet potatoes into the cellar. All put into the cellar.

Back in the room, Lin Hui and Wu Caiyu threw themselves on the newly made bed, finally able to lie down and have a rest. The past two days were almost non-stop, and Lin Hui, who considered herself a strong woman, was a little overwhelmed.

After taking a nap for a while, Lin Hui felt that her energy had recovered a little, and she got up.

There is nothing in this house except a big bed. There must be a box to store clothes, and it is best to add a table to put things on. There are also necessities such as washbasin, soap, and toothpaste. The total number of zeros and zeros adds up to a lot of things. , but Lin Hui didn't have much money in hand.

The day before departure, Li Yun gave her 40 yuan and 10 kilograms of national food stamps. Plus the 7 yuan pocket money she had saved over the years, this was Lin Hui's entire property now.

Lin Hui thought to herself: It was impossible for her to stay in the countryside forever. The most likely option was to pass the college entrance examination and return to the city, which would require at least another year and a half.

No matter how careful you are with what you have in hand, you can't live a good life. I'm afraid it will be difficult to even eat enough, let alone eat well, and you still have to find ways to make money!

But fortunately, I have space, so making money should be relatively easier than ordinary people.

If you have the opportunity, go into the space and observe it carefully to see how you can make the best use of it.

Knowing that Lin Hui wanted to buy these things, Zhang Jianshe, as an experienced person, gave some suggestions.

Carpenter Zhang in the village is very good at his craftsmanship. He should have made basins and boxes, so just go and buy them.

However, for tables and chairs, you can first go to the scrap collection station. If there are old ones that can be used, it is best. There is no need to buy new ones. As for soaps and toothpastes, you have to go to the supply and marketing cooperative in the countryside or the department store in the county. The premise is that they must be available. ticket.

It is impossible to have tickets, so Lin Hui asked, "Where can I exchange these tickets?" Hearing this, Zhang Jianshe smiled mysteriously: "If necessary, you can go and take a look at the alley behind the county post office."

It seems that this place may be the legendary black market, and I will definitely go there if I have the chance.

Lin Hui called Wu Caiyu, Zhao Lei and Zhang Moran to talk about her purchase plan, and suggested that she go to Zhang Carpenter's place to take a look before it gets dark.

So, several people each ordered a box and two wooden basins from Carpenter Zhang. There were exactly four wooden basins in stock, so they asked a few people to take them away first. The remaining four basins and boxes would be delivered five days later.

Carpenter Zhang actually knew how to weave straw mats, so Lin Hui and the others ordered two more large straw mats that were as wide as the bed and picked them up together with the basins.

During dinner, the four of them agreed to go shopping at the department store tomorrow and send letters to their respective homes to report that they were safe.

For dinner, we had the same sweet potato steamed bread as we had for lunch. After finishing it, it got dark.

There is no electricity in the village, and most people light kerosene lamps. However, none of the new arrivals brought such things, so they could only wash themselves in the dark and go to bed. Maybe they were very tired during the day. Lin Hui and Wu Caiyu chatted. After a while he fell asleep.
