Riding a donkey back to 60s

Finally, on that day, Yili Qiuniang put the drunk Li Dashan back on the kang to end.It aroused Xia's mother's sadness, which was unexpected by everyone, but it also aggravated Xia's mother's desire to send Xia Ye to study.So when she learned that the middle school in the town started in early August, Xia's mother asked Li Dashan to let Xia Ye take the exam, hoping to be admitted to the junior high school.And Xia Ye approached Li Dashan in private, saying that he didn't want to start from junior high school, so Li Dashan entrusted someone to prepare for the graduation exam of the town's junior high school, and then directly took the high school entrance examination.Fortunately, in 1962, when the county's education system was reformed, only the county's No. [-] Middle School enrolled students, and the exam was postponed until the end of August, so Xia Ye borrowed Li Lichun's books at home and started studying, thinking that he could study in high school earlier. , so that after a few years there is no hope of going to high school or university.

Although Li Dashan was worried about Xia Ye, he was very firm after persuading Xia Ye a few times, so he agreed. At worst, if he failed the graduation exam, he could go to junior high school again.So Xia Ye added one more item to his daily routine in the past few days: reviewing books! In order to be admitted to high school, Xia Ye read all the books in junior high school.For him, a top student, the current knowledge points should not be too easy, and he is not nervous about going to high school, but Xia Mu and Li Dashan are nervous!The current high school education system is two years, and students can take the college entrance examination after completing high school.But judging from the timeline, the university will be canceled in two or three years, only the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University, but it still depends on the recommendation to go to school. Xia Ye has no plan to go to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University. He is beautiful when the factory eats public food and pays all kinds of tickets!

Li Dashan pulled Xia Ye into the car early in the morning.At that time, Xia Ye was a little confused, just after picking water into the tank, he was called away by Li Dashan who was in a hurry.After getting in the car, Li Dashan said: "Yewa, the village is going to take a group of educated youths from the county back to the village in the second half of the day, so I thought about leaving early, let's go and dispose of the candy and wild pork, uncle Pulling you to see it!"

Only then did Xia Ye come back to her senses, thinking suddenly in her heart: Is this the beginning of the educated youth's going to the countryside?

Li Dashan just said to himself: "If you want to talk about this educated youth, there were two years ago, but our village is remote in the mountains, so we didn't get assigned to our village first. According to the secretary, they were still rushing to get it! But other brigades There are also a few not. But this time it is said that they can be divided into several, saying that being educated can help the village increase production or something! But the rumors from other teams with educated youths are not like this, saying that they are all so-and-so No way, they are all coquettish!"

Xia Ye responded, "Where does the educated youth live?"

Li Dashan replied: "According to the secretary's intention, let the villagers who have rooms first borrow and live in the village, and the ration brigade will give them to their homes. After the autumn harvest, we will build an educated youth camp for them!"

Although Xia Ye has never experienced the generation of educated youth, she has also described the pain and tears of educated youth through information channel novels, as well as stories of abandoning husbands (wives) and children. . .

Xia Ye thought that he had to stay away from these people, that was the origin of the incident, and possible various ethical dramas!

After mentioning a few words about educated youth, the two put the topic on hold, and began to chat with each other.

Xia Ye came to the county for the third time (I came here once when my head was healed and the stitches were removed, but it was also in a hurry), this time it can be regarded as not two points one line.

Li Dashan led Xia Ye and took the car directly to the family area of ​​the county mine. He found a corner and left Xia Ye watching the car. He went in to find someone. After about ten minutes, he led a car about one meter away. Around 76, a middle-aged man in a tunic suit came over.

"Yeba, call him Uncle Liu!" Da Shan instructed Xia Ye.

Xia Ye hurriedly called out: "Hello, Uncle Liu!"

Uncle Liu nodded and patted Xia Ye's head: "You are also welcome, Dashan, is this your kid?"

Li Dashan hurried back: "Director Liu, this is my eldest nephew, named Xia Ye."

Director Liu nodded and asked, "Did you bring them all?"

Li Dashan patted the bag on the car and said, "I brought them all. The meat weighs about 180 catties, and there are 140 catties of candy. How much do you want here?"

Director Liu nodded, with a happy expression on his face: "There is still sugar? I have all of them. According to the price of the supply and marketing cooperative, I don't have many tickets. I can pay as much as I can. I will buy some for you next time, okay?"

Li Dashan nodded: "Okay, why not! It's a chipped iron pot from my nephew's house, look?"

Director Liu nodded: "Our mine just brought back a batch of iron pots from the counterpart unit, and I'll get you a bite! Let's say it's 20 yuan!"

When Li Dashan heard the price, he quickly thanked him. You must know that the 35 yuan at the supply and marketing cooperative needs to be purchased with an industrial coupon.Xia Ye was also dumbfounded. He still had a lot of printed materials in his space, and he hadn't used them yet, so the iron pot was done!

Director Liu took Li Dashan to the cafeteria to unload the meat, and then went to the factory committee to unload the sugar. It turned out that the brown sugar was used for monthly welfare, and the meat was directly used in the cafeteria to give front-line workers extra meals!

Before leaving, Director Liu and Li Dashan settled the bill, and took out the pot from the factory committee and handed it to Li Dashan.Meat is given seven cents a catty, a total of 126 yuan, brown sugar is five cents a catty, a total of 5 yuan, a total of 70 yuan.Leaving the cafeteria, Director Liu handed over 196 yuan to Li Dashan, and together with the money, there was a wad of colorful tickets.Without counting, Li Dashan directly stuffed it into the pocket of his shirt and underwear.

Patting his forehead, Li Dashan took out from the carriage a specially placed cloth bag, which weighed about seven or eight catties, and handed it to Director Liu: "Director Liu, this is what my family asked my sister-in-law to give to the children at home. Yes, take it back!"

It wasn't the first time Director Liu had dealt with Li Dashan, and he reached out to take it without saying anything, and then asked Li Dashan and Xia Ye to wait first, and then went home by himself.After waiting for a while, Director Liu carried a bag and handed it to Li Dashan, "We will be real relatives from now on, nothing else, there are two cans from the factory in it, take it back and give it to my nephew and niece to taste." taste!"

Speaking of disregarding Li Dashan's waving, he put it on the carriage, took out two food stamps, and said to Li Dashan: "It's almost noon, I'm going to a meeting later, so I won't keep you two for dinner, Take the food stamps and go to the state-run restaurant to eat, next time it's empty, we brothers will have a drink!" He said and stuffed the food stamps into Li Dashan's hands.

He patted Li Dashan on the shoulder: "Brother is real enough! Call me big brother from now on!"

Li Dashan shouted quickly: "Hey, hey, Brother Liu!"

Li Dashan delivered more than a dozen catties of meat to Director Liu in a row. This time, he also gave 2 catties of sugar. For the county, although there is supply, it is also a ration, and it can be full. It's not bad, how can I think about meat, even if he is the director of the procurement department, he doesn't have so much meat to keep from his hands, and besides, it is a mistake at this time, people are more honest, and they dare not do that.Director Liu also felt that Li Dashan was real, would come to work, and could communicate.

Li Dashan bid farewell to his new real relatives, and led Xia Ye to the state-run hotel in the county.Although I come to the county every year for various reasons, it is not easy to have a meal in a state-run restaurant, mainly because there are not so many food stamps!The stuff inside is also expensive.

Inside, there was a waitress at the counter, she was a bit fat, and she looked like she was from a good family.The attitude is neither good nor bad, and I just asked: "Comrade, what do you want to eat!" Asking and pointing to the blackboard behind him, there is a menu written in chalk on it, which seems to be watching the ingredients change.

Xia Ye took a look, fried shredded potatoes with meat, soybean sprouts with meat, black-faced buns, corn pancakes, braised pork, and hand-rolled noodles. . .

It's all very homely food. Looking at the braised pork on it, Xia Ye swallowed. It's not gluttonous meat, but just missing that taste. After all, there is no soy sauce seasoning at home.

"What would Yewa want to eat? Well, you don't seem to know what it is! Then I ordered, comrade, one serving of fried bean sprouts, one serving of braised pork, and two bowls of hand-rolled noodles!" Li Dashan said while ordering the food. up.

"Okay, you guys will listen and pick it up later!" The waiter wrote the menu and handed it to the kitchen.

Li Dashan led Xia Ye to sit down at a square table, there were not many people in the shop.

Li Dashan looked at Xia Ye very calmly, and he didn't shy away like others the first time, he was very generous.I thought to myself that he really deserved to be the son of the second brother. Xia Erzhu invited Li Dashan to eat out for the first time. He was very excited at that time, and was even despised by the other tables.

If Xia Ye knew what Li Dashan was thinking, he would definitely roll his eyes non-stop.Although I am an orphan, I have a scholarship and earn a lot of money from part-time jobs. It is common to eat out alone.Besides, this is not a seven-star hotel or anything, so I really can't make Xia Ye very excited.

After more than 20 minutes, the window began to call for dishes. Li Dashan brought up the dishes and noodles by himself. A large piece of braised pork with a finger size was placed in a large bowl with sharp tips. On a large plate, two bowls of hand-rolled noodles are placed in the largest sea bowl, which is completely sufficient. The noodles are made of Erhe noodles, which are made of cornmeal and white flour. The fried meat bean paste smells delicious!Li Dashan took the chopsticks, wiped them with his hands, tapped the chopsticks on the table, and began to stir the hand-rolled noodles, and changed it with Xia Ye's bowl when it was evenly mixed, and continued to stir: "Ye Wa, hurry up and eat! "

Xia Ye nodded, picked up a chopstick and put it into his mouth, a scent of fresh fragrant beans diffused in his mouth, chewed hard a few times, the noodles were a bit elastic, and after a few more mouthfuls, the aroma of peanuts wafted out, the more he ate The more delicious it is, the more I can't stop, watching Xia Ye eating noodles faster and faster, Li Dashan put a few chopsticks of bean sprouts and braised pork into Xia Ye's bowl.

"No hurry, eat slowly, eat noodles, have another bite of braised pork, and then eat bean sprouts to relieve the tiredness!" Xia Ye nodded.

The two quickly cleaned up the noodles and dishes and wiped their mouths. Li Dashan went to the window and asked for two bowls of noodle soup.

Come back and hand it to Xia Ye: "Yeba, drink the noodle soup, it will be easier to digest!" There is a saying when eating noodles, the original soup turns into the original food, and I don't understand the true meaning!Anyway, the two of them drank the noodle soup, and after a meal, Xia Ye couldn't bear it.

The two also bought because of the pot, and they also dealt with the things that should be sold, so they had nothing to do, so they stayed in the state-run restaurant for a while, waiting to go to the commune in the afternoon to pick up the educated youths in the village.
