The educated youth was reborn and wanted to disappear, but he was locked into a military marriage.

At this time, eggs cost 50 cents a pound, and there were about ten eggs, but the tea eggs sold in state-owned restaurants cost 10 cents.

It's just that there is a step-by-step reduction. No matter how much people see Zhu Xiaomin's tea eggs, they won't think they are any better than the big pickles.

After all, there is a boiled egg in the middle.

The taste is different, but it's still eggs. What's more, those people ate steamed buns. There seemed to be vegetables in the lunch boxes. They were soaked in hot water and the aroma spread out.

Everyone nearby smelled it. It was the aroma of stew mixed with potatoes, and there seemed to be meat.

But just as he was weighing it, he soon saw Zhu Xiaomin take out another oil paper package and peel it off layer by layer. Inside was a squashed roast chicken. She tore off a piece of roast chicken leg and wrapped it in oil paper again. superior.

Although it was already cold, the aroma of roasted chicken still came out, making people around him swallow their saliva.

Chu Liangsheng and others couldn't help but look at her. Chen Fanggang smiled: "Beishan Forest Farm looks like the conditions are good."

Zhu Xiaomin raised his head and smiled back at him, then nodded after thinking about it: "In our area, the villages that only work in grain production are poorer than us, but the entire Beishan Forest Farm is divided into five communes, and each commune has ten to ten production brigades. It ranges from five to five. I don’t know about other communes. Our commune also had difficulties in previous years, but our brigade has made some improvements since last year.”

"Isn't the main task of your forestry farm afforestation? How to improve it? Increase the area of ​​food planting?" He Yizhou was also curious.

Zhu Xiaomin shook his head and gnawed on a chicken leg to explain to everyone: "The year before last, we had a tree planting task of 20,000 acres. When the superiors assigned the task, 80% were prescribed tree species and 20% were independent forests. We The cadres from the commune and the team reported to the county, and the 20% planted fruit trees."

Although it is a bit verbose, but with so many people listening in the car and there are soldiers on the opposite side, you need to be precise and speak clearly.

Duan Liyi asked: "Is it a good fruit harvest?"

Zhu Xiaomin nodded: "In the first year of planting, there was nothing. Occasionally, there were a few fruits, which were not enough for each person in the team to share one. Last year, the peaches entered their peak fruiting period, and our team sent two months' worth of peaches to the county supply and marketing cooperative. of peaches.”

"You said this was a report from your commune. Why is it that your team is the only one sending peaches?" He Yizhou was attentive.

Zhu Xiaomin shook his head and said: "Compared with tree species such as pine, cypress, and poplar, fruit trees are more difficult to plant and require later maintenance. Other teams had doubts. Some chose nut trees, and some simply chose common tree species. As long as our team has a solid eye, we will plant as much as we divide."

When everyone heard this, they all nodded. Chu Liangsheng sighed: "It shows that you can't be too forward-thinking when doing things."

Ren Hongtu was curious: "Why did you only plant peach trees? No other fruit trees?"

Zhu Xiaomin answered with a smile: "Each kind of tree has a different growth period. The so-called peaches, three apricots, four pears and five. Although we tried our best to select two-year-old seedlings, only peaches had a high yield last year."

He Yizhou immediately asked: "What about this year? What is expected to happen?"

Zhu Xiaomin replied: "If there are no accidents, there will be a lot of apricots and apples this year."

Duan Liyi exclaimed: "Isn't your place the Huaguo Mountain?"

Zhu Xiaomin couldn't help laughing: "Then we are just monkeys." He joked with a few people, squinted his eyes, and seemed to see the grand scene of mountains full of melons and fruits, nodded slightly, and said softly, "I hope, let's go to the countryside. , just to build the countryside and make it better and better.”

Several soldiers listened in awe, and Chu Liangsheng nodded: "The country will remember you."

Zhu Xiaomin waved her hands hurriedly: "Compared with you, who are we?"

Chu Liangsheng said seriously: "We just have different positions. We are all doing our best for the country. Your obscurity is equally admirable."

He Yizhou added: "We will all be remembered."

Yes, I will remember that this is a special era, and the educated youth are also a special group. They will still be remembered by people many years later.

Zhu Xiaomin smiled.

A few people chatted and the journey seemed to become more interesting, and it was already noon before we knew it.

The train was delayed for two hours. When she got off the train, Zhu Xiaomin had already finished four steamed buns, five tea eggs and half a roast chicken.

Chu Liangsheng asked her to go first, and he and the others carried their luggage and got off the car behind them. After leaving the station, He Yizhou was still saying: "If you have a chance, I'll go to your Beishan Forest Farm to see you. You have to take us with you then." Take a look around and see your Huaguo Mountain."

Does she show them around?

Zhu Xiaomin paused, then smiled and agreed: "If there is a chance, definitely." Watching the five people walking away, he figured out the direction and went to the ticket office first.

The earliest train bound for Pingcheng was around ten o'clock tonight. She decided that if there were no seats, she would buy one for tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow. She wouldn't buy a standing ticket anyway.

Her letter of introduction is valid for half a month, so she can go back slowly.

As expected, the seats for today and tomorrow have been sold out, so I had to buy a ticket for the day after tomorrow. The area near the station was too chaotic. Zhu Xiaomin walked through a street based on his memory and found a guest house with better conditions to stay in.

Although Chu Liangsheng and others gave up their seats, they were still very tired after sleeping all night. They were almost full in the car. Zhu Xiaomin stopped going out, washed up again, ate another tea egg, and slept comfortably again. After a nap.

When she woke up, it was still dark. Zhu Xiaomin left the food at the guest house. She only took the money, tickets and letter of introduction with her and went out to walk on the street.

Although the provincial capital at this time was still very shabby, it was a provincial capital after all, much more prosperous than Hedong City, and the streets were full of people.

Zhu Xiaomin stopped on the street and looked up at the building in front. The scenery in front of her quickly overlapped with her memory.

In the previous life, it took her and Lu Mingzheng a full nine years from getting married to getting here, that is to say, six years later. However, the scenery in front of her has not changed much from her memory, which shows that these years, Urban development is stagnant.

After walking for a while, the sky gradually darkened. Zhu Xiaomin found a state-owned restaurant to eat a bowl of noodles and took a different route back to the guest house.

This time, she stayed in a four-person room, which was 20 cents more expensive than a larger room. When she came back, there was no one else there, so she fetched water again, washed her hands and face, soaked her feet, and sat down again. In the quilt.

I didn't feel sleepy at all, but after such a day of relaxation, I could finally use my brain to think about the way to go in the future.

She no longer wants to go back to Hedong City, but the provincial capital?

Thinking of the street scene she just saw, it didn't arouse her desire to stay here at all, not to mention that the Lu family was here.

So, if you don’t return to the city, will you stay in the forest farm?

Now that she is qualified to return to the city, she should not stay whether it is for her future or for Lu Mingzheng.

However, now these three places and the poor mountains have brought her closer.

So...where will she go?
