Rebirth in 1970: I work as an educated youth in a forest farm

Zhou Mingyuan and his wife each carried a large backpack, and they both carried net bags and other things in their hands.

It would be difficult for the couple to carry so much stuff on foot.

Sheng Xiping and Zhou Qinglan stepped forward and quickly took some of the things to reduce their burden.

"Uncle, aunt, when you two get off the bus at Shuguang Forest Farm, just make a phone call over here.

We pushed the railway three-wheeler over to pick it up, and it was a bit brisk. "

"Oh, why bother? It's only 17 or 18 miles. We'll be there in a leisurely stroll." Wang Chunxiu smiled and waved his hand.

The Gao and Tang families will have a wedding tomorrow, and they must be busy today.

It's okay that they arrived late and can't help much, but they can't cause any more trouble.

"How are you guys doing lately? I heard that you have all moved to collective housing?

Are the conditions good there? Eating or in the cafeteria? "

Wang Chunxiu hadn't seen her daughter for a long time, so she had to ask her how she was doing at the forest farm, right?

Especially since so many things happened in the forest farm a while ago, and the entire Ersongjiang River Forestry Bureau heard about it, the Zhou family and his wife were thinking about their daughter.

If Zhou Qinglan and Sheng Xiping weren't dating, Wang Chunxiu would have really planned to find a way to get his daughter to become an educated youth elsewhere.

“The collective household is okay, a dozen of us female educated youths all live together.

Originally, I said I wanted to cook for myself, but later I found it too troublesome, so I decided to eat in the cafeteria.

Isn't this Fengying going out? I've been living in the Tang family recently, and I often go to Aunt Sheng's place to eat. Life is pretty good. "

Zhou Qinglan knew that her mother was worried about her, so she had to say something reassuring.

Of course, what she said was true. With Sheng Xiping taking care of her, Zhou Qinglan's life in the forest farm was obviously much better than that of other female educated youths.

"Oh, thanks to Xiping's care, otherwise, we would be really worried." Wang Chunxiu nodded after hearing this.

It was obvious when we met just now that my daughter must be living a good life these days. She has put on some weight and looks good.

"Xiping, thank you very much for helping us take care of Qinglan."

"Auntie, this is what I should do. Qinglan is my partner, so if I don't treat her well, who else can I treat well?"

Sheng Xiping laughed when he heard this. If a grown man can't even take care of the girl he likes, isn't he a waste?

"Hey? Why didn't Qingyue come with you?"

They had met just now and were too happy to pay attention. Only then did Zhou Qinglan realize that her younger brother Zhou Qingyue was not there.

"We came in the leader's inspection car, and there were only two seats available, so we couldn't move.

Besides, Qingyue is still studying. He can't tell his teacher, "Let's go have a drink and ask for a few days off for the child, right?" "

Zhou Mingyuan explained with a smile.

"He is at home, and his mother has cooked a lot of food and stuff, and left him some money and food stamps.

It's okay, you don't have to worry, you are a young man of 14 or 15 years old, he will be hungry at home. "

Men are big-hearted. When Zhou Mingyuan went out to study as a teenager, he took care of himself, so he felt that his son would be able to do it too.

"Mom, our idiot Qingyue, can we do it alone at home?"

Zhou Qinglan was not at ease with her younger brother, so she asked her mother in a low voice.

"It's okay, I've made an agreement with our neighbor in the west courtyard, your Aunt Wang.

Let her go over every noon and evening to cook the kang, heat up rice and so on. "

Wang Chunxiu glanced at her man, shook her head helplessly, smiled, and then whispered to her daughter.

When Zhou Qinglan heard her mother's words, she nodded with relief.

The neighbor in the west courtyard is a nice person. When his eldest daughter-in-law gave birth, Wang Chunxiu delivered her baby. The two families have a good relationship.

With Aunt Wang taking good care of him, his idiot brother should be fine, at least he won't starve to death.

Zhou Mingyuan and Sheng Xiping were quite at odds with each other, so they had to ask what Sheng Xiping had been doing recently.

There was nothing to hide, so Sheng Xiping told Zhou Mingyuan all about leading people to see green grass, collecting pine seeds, and hunting this autumn.

Maybe men have some adventurous element in their nature.

Even though Zhou Mingyuan was an engineer and a great intellectual, his eyes immediately widened when he heard what Sheng Xiping said about bombarding badgers, hunting wild boars, and killing blind men. He listened with relish.

"Oh, it turns out your life in the forest farm is so exciting.

It's a pity that I came at the wrong time, otherwise I would follow you into the mountains to see the excitement. "Zhou Mingyuan said with both yearning and envy.

“Uncle, actually hunting in the mountains is not that fun, it’s quite hard and tiring.

Wandering around the mountains from morning till night, if you don't encounter prey, the day will be wasted. If you do, it can be quite dangerous sometimes.

I just don’t have a serious job, so I have no choice but to go hunting in the mountains to supplement my family income. "

Hearing this, Sheng Xiping could only shake his head and smile.

To outsiders, hunting in the mountains seems to be quite interesting. It is good to be able to sell money and eat meat. In fact, only the hunters themselves understand how tiring and painful this work is.

Of course, Sheng Xiping loved hunting and walking in the mountains.

But he couldn't say that in front of Zhou Mingyuan.

No father would be happy to see his daughter find a man who has nothing serious to do.

That's why Sheng Xiping deliberately revealed that he was eager to have a formal working attitude.

This can make Zhou Mingyuan and his wife feel at ease. After all, their daughter's partner is motivated, but the current situation is limited and there is nothing they can do.

"Oh, you are right. It would be best to have a formal job and get paid at work.

Don't worry too much, the bureau can't always stop recruiting workers.

As long as you perform well in the educated youth team, you will be recruiting workers if there is no policy from above. Right? "

Zhou Mingyuan was quite satisfied with Sheng Xiping's performance. This kid had serious business and knew what to do, which was pretty good.

In this way, the four of them walked and chatted, and within four or five miles, they returned to Tang's house in Qianchuan Forest Farm.

As soon as they entered the gate, Tang Fengying's mother, Li Yuqin, was busy working in the yard.

When I saw my cousin and sister-in-law arriving, I hurriedly greeted her and held Wang Chunxiu's hands. I was so happy that I didn't know what to say.

"Oh, my cousin and sister-in-law are here. Are you tired from the journey? Come on, come inside and sit down."

As he spoke, he dragged Wang Chunxiu toward the house.

"Old Tang, hurry up, my brother and sister-in-law are here."

Tang Fengying's father, Tang Bin, was also busy. When he heard his wife's greeting, he hurried over to say hello to Zhou Mingyuan and his wife.

"Hey, my cousin and sister-in-law are here? Come on, come inside and sit down. Come inside and sit down."

Zhou Mingyuan and his wife entered the east room of the Tang family surrounded by everyone. Wang Chunxiu took two bags from his daughter and handed them to Li Yuqin and Tang Bin.

"Well, there isn't much good stuff in the Forestry Bureau store recently, so we just bought some.

These are for the children. The two quilt covers and a pair of mirrors are for Fengying. "

Nowadays, most wedding gifts are given in kind.

There are many things like washbasin, large mirror, soap dish, quilt cover, pillow cover, towel, etc., but few of them are paid directly.
