The green tea educated youth in the text of the age
Chapter 35 Winter is here
Half a month ago Liu Gong sent Bai Qiu five algebra books and they arrived, the study group felt like a treasure.Another month passed, and there was no farm work in the village. There were only two classes a day, education class from [-]:[-] am to [-]:[-] am, and literacy class from [-]:[-] pm to [-]:[-] pm. The teachers of the literacy class were two female educated youths. The lectures are meticulous.
Bai Qiu had to be even more busy. Apart from the village cadres' meeting, he also had to go to the educated youth study group to endorse and do quizzes.
The days are also full.Chen Xinghe's question bank has also arrived in the past few days. After the learning atmosphere has improved, everyone is scrambling to copy it every day. It's just that the educated youth place is a bit cold. When writing a few lines, you have to breathe into the tip of the pen, otherwise the ink will not come out.
Bai Qiu lives in the village chief's house. Their kang is cold outside but warm inside. But at the Educated Youth Center, the cold outside is even colder inside. The only way to keep warm is to hold a warm water bag.
Bai Qiu said: "It's only December now, and it's going to be cold until March at least. What's the deal with it getting colder every day?" Boys are better with rough skin and thick flesh. Female educated youths can't stand it. The day before yesterday, Chen Lu's stomach Pain and fainted, everyone wants to send to the clinic.In the end, Wen Yitian, who had a good relationship with her, quietly pulled Bai Qiu aside, blushed and said it was the girl's menstrual period.
The rural kang doesn't burn, and it's cold when sleeping on it. Almost all the lesbians in the educated youth center have dysmenorrhea, but Chen Lu is more serious.
Bai Qiu had inquired about it, and the educated youth institutes used to survive like this.
These educated youths present, regardless of men or women, all study in the same room during the day, so it can be warmer if there are more people.When Bai Qiu asked, everyone didn't know what to do?
Bai Qiu said: "I heard from my fellow villagers that this year is a very cold winter, so why don't you just buy coal? I've inquired about it. The nearby mine costs 20 yuan a ticket, a total of [-] catties. It's enough to cook and burn kang for a whole winter." , but it costs ten yuan to hire a car from there!" Bai Qiu said: "Let's pay from everyone's money."
Bai Qiu figured out the accounts clearly, he paid the living expenses again before, and now he still has 300 yuan deposited in his hand.
People in the Educated Youth Institute live in this cold weather, and most of their hands are frozen. Hearing what Bai Qiu said, they said, "Success, buy coal this year!"
"I agree."
"I should have bought it a long time ago, so I don't have to worry about cooking in the future."
Everyone agreed to buy coal, Bai Qiu felt relieved, and felt more and more that it was wise for the village head to ask him to pay him a living allowance on a monthly basis.The money has not been distributed, and they can focus on some major things. If it is distributed, it will be difficult to collect it from them.
Just like the first batch of Bai Qiu sent more than 17 yuan, enough for them to make a cotton coat and trousers.But only half of the people did it, and the other half were reluctant to pay, so they wore several layers of single-piece clothes and shivered from the cold.
Bai Qiu said: "Come here some men, let's go buy coal together." It takes a long time to go back and forth, and people are needed for loading and unloading cars.
"I'll go." After Chen Tong finished speaking, he brought another male educated youth named Li Jianfeng. The two were tall and strong and capable of working. Huang Xiao looked at it, thought for a while and then raised his hand. They were surrounded by several people in the village. Yue wanted to go out to get some fresh air.
So the three of them followed Bai Qiu to the village chief to ask for leave.
As soon as He Jianguo heard that they were going to buy coal, he said, "That's right, go with a few people from our village later. You can also take care of each other." After a pause, he said, "Bai Qiu, don't go this time. , there are other things for you to do in the village."
Bai Qiu said: "Okay."
Then he gave Chen Tong the prepared 40 yuan.Among these few people, Chen Tong was quite stable.Bai Qiu said: "You can buy as much as you can." The winter in Northeast China is too cold, and it is impossible not to buy coal.
Chen Tong nodded and said, "Success."
Then follow the people in the village to carpool together.
Bai Qiu sent them out and stayed with the village committee.Soon, many people from the village committee came one after another, He Changfeng, Wang Mazi, Feng Shouyi, they all came, and even the female director like Lan Guiying came over, as if something big was about to happen.
He Jianguo said: "Today, gathering everyone here is the most important thing to announce. The food above has been distributed. Let's start to distribute it later."
As soon as his words fell, everyone in the village committee was happy. This year's food distribution is a full month later than last year. Many people have to spend money to buy food when they run out of food at home. It costs [-] cents It is really painful to spend food, and it is finally going to be divided.
This is a big job, distributing food, distributing various food stamps and distributing money at the same time, He Jianguo looks like there are more than last year, and he will definitely have a good year.
It's all about organizing village cadres to do it.He Jianguo said: "This is a major event in the village and no one can fix it all. It's up to Ding Kemao to call it down. All the cadres here are village cadres. Don't favor anyone. I have a tough temper. Others I don't care how the village is divided, if anyone in our village steals less, let me know, and I will be the first to report it to the higher authorities."
After He Jianguo finished speaking, he looked around.
Regardless of whether it was true or false, after being beaten up by him like this, the officials in the village all said: "Let's not do that immoral thing."
"I haven't done it in the most difficult time, let alone now."
"That is, if the folks know about poking our spine."
He Jianguo then changed the subject and said, "That's okay, you two and two groups, all of you must be distributed within today." Then he looked at Bai Qiu and said, "Xiaobai, work harder, you and He Changfeng first Distribute the money, and then record how much money is distributed to everyone. Among these old hats, you are the only one who writes, and you record the ones who distribute the food!"
He Jianguo trusts him quite a bit now, and he can't go wrong if he takes over the job.
Bai Qiu nodded and said no problem.
Soon He Jianguo took out the village's centimeter books and asked them to fry them separately. Those who put food stamps depended on the centimeters, and divided them according to the head.The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the meat ticket above is enough, two catties per person.Even the little dolls at home have a meat ticket.It will definitely be enough to buy meat until the Chinese New Year.
Bai Qiu came over and copied the master copy.He Jianguo went to the village with a loudspeaker to inform all the villagers that the afternoon literacy study was cancelled, and they went door to door to the village committee to wait for the food distribution. Once the news came out, everyone couldn't sit still.
Some were holding children, some were carrying flour bags, they went to distribute the food stamps first, and then went to distribute the food.There are three kinds of grains in the village, coarse grains, corn flour, white flour, and rice.
Most people want all the corn noodles, and less white noodles. It’s almost New Year’s Day, and after New Year’s Day, it’s a new year and the Spring Festival, so why not eat a few dumplings.As for the most delicious northeastern rice, there are few people who exchange it. Their rice stewed rice is full of flavor, and it is all peasants who can eat it, so they have to eat as much as they want.No change, nothing to eat!
At this time, I can see the benefits of having more men.People with more labor force earn more centimeters.When distributing grain, there were several large bags of corn noodles.Carried on their shoulders, everyone looks at them as if they are showing off their wealth.
In their village, both food and money are distributed.This year is a good year and has advanced again.There are more fine grain meat tickets than in previous years.In addition to food, the money can be divided into thirty or forty yuan, and the least can be divided into seven or eight yuan.
Bai Qiu and He Changfeng cooperated tacitly, Bai Qiu made plans over there, and He Changfeng gave the money.
The people in the village also showed smiles, and they were not bored when queuing up. The acquaintances chatted with each other and said, "This year is really not for nothing..."
"It's not bad. Just now, Mrs. Li divided up eight bags of coarse grains and 25 catties of fine grains. Can I eat it?"
"We can't compare with others. His family has five sons, and the daughter-in-law is also a good labor force. Plus the old couple, how many people are there in total. But I heard from her third daughter-in-law that if anyone's family is short of food, they can go to him. It’s cheaper than supply and marketing cooperatives anyway.”
"This year's grain harvest is bumper, and it will definitely be enough for a period of time!"
"After the food is distributed, let's have a cat winter."
"It was in previous years, but this year I have an ideological education class again. I really don't know when it will be. I wondered, today I cut two catties of meat for my family to improve my life. It's been a long time since I tasted meat, let alone Children and adults are all hungry."
"If you want me to say yes, I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative's meat place and line up early, buy two catties of fat meat and some meat oil, and save enough to eat for a while." It turned out that the two newly married young daughters-in-law were talking , everyone on the left and right is queuing up, it’s okay, the people behind heard it, and couldn’t help but chat up: “You can’t buy fat meat.”
The person next to him said: "Who says it's not the case? The meat sellers in the supply and marketing agency left the fat ones early on. We can only buy the skinny ones when we go."
Everyone in the village can’t eat anything meaty, and they don’t want to use oil when cooking. In their eyes, lean meat is still sticky, and big fat meat is fragrant and delicious. After eating, their lips are covered with oil.
"Is Xiaowei from our village in the county meat joint factory?"
"That's not familiar, how dare you find him..."
Everyone didn't think it was boring when they were talking.The house on the side of the village committee was burning hot, familiar and unfamiliar people could chat together, and it was their turn after a while.
The fat aunt in the village looked at Bai Qiu, he was a very energetic young man, with a good planner, he was really handsome no matter how he looked.
I heard Bai Qiu say: "The total is 30 yuan and eighty-five cents." Bai Qiu said.
He Changfeng took out three ten-dollar bills from the side, and then counted out nine cents. Basically, they would catch up with a few cents, and they all flirted up.
In this way, the villagers are also happy, as if they have taken advantage of it.The fat aunt said: "Bai Qiu, what kind of wife do you want to find in the future. Let me see if I have a suitable girl in my hand, and introduce you." Older people love soliciting matchmakers. People look down on Bai Qiu and feel unable to work.
But now seeing Bai Qiu as the team leader doing the math, it's easy to say a word in the educated youth team.Besides, there is no one in the village who is better than him in this skillful abacus.
Although Chen Xinghe was also handsome and unrestrained, the people in the village didn't even dare to think that he was not someone who could stay in the village at first glance.In fact, neither is Bai Qiu, but everyone likes him and wants to keep him as Chen Jiawan's son-in-law!
Bai Qiu can coax people with a sweet mouth, and there is no one in the village who doesn't like him, especially Lan Guiying. Her four sons are all excellent, but Bai Qiu is the one who always talks about it. If you don't know, you may think Bai Qiu is the real one What about his own son?
Bai Qiu was taken aback for a moment, then his face became hot, he lowered his face, and after a while he raised his face again and said, "I... haven't thought about it yet."
He Changfeng beside him also looked at Bai Qiu, his face darkened.This aunt finally knew that she couldn't blame everyone for teasing Bai Qiu.He is so funny, I am embarrassed to tease him.There are fewer girls in the village and more boys. The young men are afraid of being single, and when they reach their age, they ask someone to introduce them to them on a blind date. Bai Qiu is different from others.
Fat aunt said: "Oh, you should look for it at your age..."
He Changfeng said beside him: "He can't afford a wife."
This sentence made the fat aunt speechless, He Changfeng really hit the point, no matter how good Bai Qiu is, he is still a young educated youth.Without a house or money, Fat God just looked at Bai Qiuhao and forgot to think about his problems.
Marriage is not a small matter, very enthusiastic turned into two points.
Afraid that Bai Qiu would be discouraged, he said: "There are also those who don't care about the conditions." After speaking, he laughed and moved aside, letting the next one come over.Bai Qiu looked at it like a small episode, and recovered after a while.
But Bai Qiu keenly noticed that He Changfeng's mood was not as good as when he first started working.
After all the money was distributed, Bai Qiu also copied the roster, and gently touched He Changfeng with his elbow: "What's wrong?"
He Changfeng glanced at Bai Qiu, never thought about what would happen to Bai Qiu after he got married.Just thinking about it makes me irritated.At this moment, seeing his little educated youth tilting his head to look over, with curiosity in his eyes, he said: "It's okay." Although he was troubled, he couldn't say that, he couldn't say that he didn't want Bai Qiu to find a partner, could he? .
It's not good for my little educated youth to be too flamboyant, seeing that several girls in the educated youth center always come to him.I don't know which one he likes.
He Changfeng was depressed, what good would it be to ask him to find a partner?There is no freedom at all if there are more people in charge.
Bai Qiu was a little puzzled, he obviously looked very irritable, why did he say nothing happened, Bai Qiu said, "What's the matter?"
He Changfeng felt more and more depressed, rubbed his hair, and felt better, and said, "Come on, let's go out and help weigh the grain."
Bai Qiu's hair was originally fine, but he messed it up, so he gently combed it with his fingers.
Just as he was about to get up, he heard a commotion, and the crowd asked, "Why are they here?"
"Is there any face left?"
"Yes."
The people who came were Zuo's father and Zuo's mother. Since Zuo Yingying's incident happened, everyone didn't like their family very much.How can children be educated like that? There is no shortage of cynicism when they meet.Zuo Yingying's matter really did not lightly affect the family. Her sister Zuo Fenfen was engaged, but because of this matter, the man quit and asked for the 60 yuan of the bride price back.Now no one in the village cares about them at all.
They don't come out very often, and after a long time, they still feel that there are no such people in the village.I remembered it when I saw her.My heart suddenly responded.
Zuo's mother and Zuo's father's family were almost unable to open the pot and came to share the food.Because centimeters have been deducted before, and they also like to steal and play tricks when they are working, there are not many, and once they are deducted, they will be even less.Calculated, it is only enough to get eight catties of corn noodles.
When Zuo Ma heard this, she said, "Is it a mistake?" Although something happened to her family, this year is a bumper harvest year, and the next time the food is distributed will be in March. Normally, there will be no food. Sell more.
Why can't their family have enough to eat for a month?
The person who distributed the food was Wang Mazi, who said angrily, "Look at your house's centimeter, it is enough to distribute seven catties and nine taels. I will take care of you if I give you eight catties."
The people around were all waiting for the food distribution, but she got stuck and said, "Hey, if you don't want to go out...you still have to wait for the food distribution later."
"That's right, don't you know what you did?"
These two people usually kept their heads down in the village, but now seeing how little food was available, they suddenly collapsed, sitting on the ground and shouting: "Oh, everyone in the village is running on us, we can't survive this day!" Go down. Uuuuuuuuuuuu..." After speaking, she sat on the ground and began to cry loudly.
Dad Zuo beside him not only did not try to persuade him, but even added fuel, saying: "You are all good people, but we are bad... Simply, you strangle us all to death, we can't get through this winter without food anyway. I forgot a single one. I can't miss you." As he spoke, he looked around with vicious eyes.
That's obvious. Besides, it was everyone who forced their family to death.
Originally, distributing food was a happy thing.Especially the queue at the back.Looking at the familiar families in front of me, there are more than one, and they are looking forward to it here.As a result, before the food was distributed, they swear and swear.
A few angry ones started to scold directly: "Why, I let you cheat and play tricks. Originally, the village eats a big pot of rice. You are lazy and hardworking people deserve to work more? Thanks to the village. It’s the centimeter system, otherwise we’d still be aggrieved.”
"That's right, we don't owe you anything for what you are playing here."
"The village head is soft-hearted. If you want me to say, I would have driven your family away when something happened. There are not as many moths as there are today."
The quarrels in the house became louder and louder, and the village chief outside came into the house without paying any food, and said, "This is all done in a fair manner. If you are not satisfied, you can report it to the higher authorities. I will sit up straight."
Now Aunt Xu rushed to the front and said: "Old Zuo's family, why are you so embarrassed? When your girl was lost, the director followed us to the county to find someone. Our village head rode for several hours to the county, and almost because of You have lost your progress. Whether you have a heart or not, you still blame everyone now, what do you want?"
How could the two of them have so many mouths, they were so suffocated that they couldn't speak.Just short of breath, said: "Eight catties of food for us to do chores? Ah... We survived when we were hungry in the 60s, but now we starve to death when the year is good."
Bai Qiu frowned, they were a bit morally kidnapped.I just want to make a fuss and share more food.If this trend is opened, wouldn't it be that only those who make trouble will benefit in the future.
Everyone looked at them, there must be something pitiful about the hateful person, eight catties of food is indeed not enough to eat.At this moment, Bai Qiu said: "The rations are not enough, you can buy them."
His voice was not loud, but when everyone was thinking, everyone heard him when he spoke.
Zuo Ma said: "Where is the money... Our family can't survive the winter!"
Bai Qiu said: "Didn't Zuo Yingying say that you have 20 yuan?"
He was also at the police station at the time, but I heard...
Zuo Ma froze, and said: "What the hell, don't talk nonsense." She scolded with a look of panic.Everyone keenly noticed that there was something tricky in it, and hurriedly urged Bai Qiu to speak.
There was some hesitation on Bai Qiu's face.
Zuo Ma said: "I don't have this money at all, don't talk nonsense." It seemed like she was trying to cover it up.
Seeing her so nervous, there is something I don't understand.It must be Bai Qiu who knows something.
The money might be real, so Aunt Xu said, "Since we have money, if we don't buy food, we still have to scoop it out of everyone's pockets. We don't agree."
"That's right, isn't it just not enough to take advantage?"
"Hey, I'd like to know why Zuo Yingying said she's fucking rich."
Now that the conversation has come to this point, the people present will understand after thinking about it: "It is estimated that she wants you to get her money." This is not a new thing.
But seeing that Zuo Yingying was still taken away, after thinking about it carefully, she felt that this matter was really true. The Zuo family valued money very much, and they were not willing to take money at all.
Although it is not easy for the villagers to save some money, compared to the family's reputation and the girl's future, most people will definitely take it, but she is willing to give up her life.Now seeing that there is no food at home, and they are still unwilling to spend money to buy it, the people present mocked: "I really don't know what to do with so much money."
Zuo Ma's face turned blue and pale.He Jianguo said: "Hurry up as soon as you finish the division, don't stand in the way here, many people have not yet divided."
After speaking, Zuo Ma stood up and left crying.Zuo Dad received eight catties of food and then went home.
After receiving the food, everyone told everyone about Zuo Yingying, and someone asked Bai Qiu what happened that day.
Bai Qiu said he forgot...
Everyone looked at him and knew he wasn't telling the truth.I remembered it just now, how can I forget it now, it's better to save face for the Zuo family.What a good child, Zuo Yingying was never mentioned outside, I heard that Zuo Yingying was still pouring dirty water on Bai Qiu in the police station, she really raised all kinds of people with the same rice.
Soon the news spread that the Zuo family was making trouble at the village committee, and Xue Sanlin's family was so frightened that they didn't dare to pick it up. They asked the elders of the family to come and pick it up, for fear that everyone would spit on him.
After distributing the food, He Jianguo used the big loudspeaker of the village committee to shout to each family: "We will have a three-day rest starting tomorrow. Everyone has been given food and money. A lot of people told me just now that they want to go to the city to buy something. You can go to But you must go together. Come to me before you leave and tell me that you all go home early and are not allowed to stay outside. The old and young men who stay in the village cannot play cards..."
Bai Qiu listened in the room, and really felt that Chenjiawan was lucky to have such a village head.Really wholeheartedly for everyone.
I'm afraid that when I have money, I will lose it in a hurry.
After distributing the food to the villagers, it was distributed to the people in the educated youth office, thirty catties of food per person.A total of six hundred catties.
Bai Qiu called the educated youth who stayed at home to bring all the food back to the educated youth center.
As soon as I entered the room, I saw a strong smell of chocolate floating in the room. Everyone who entered the room held a cup in their hands, and this fragrance came from the cup.
During the day, male educated youths and female educated youths like to stay in the same room. Wen Tiantian said, "Leader, do you want to drink? It's so sweet."
Bai Qiu said: "Where did you get it?"
Chen Xinghe said: "My family sent the high-lego by mail." Others scooped up two spoonfuls and poured it into a cup to drink, but he didn't, he poured half a can into a thermos bottle.The boiled hot water is brewed directly, and after boiling, everyone pours it out of the thermos bottle.
It was the first time for the educated youths present to drink it. It was sweet and smooth, especially in the cold winter. After drinking a cup, they just felt warmer all over.
After he finished flushing, he refused to drink and poured it for others.
Bai Qiu found a clean bowl from the Educated Youth Office, poured out half of the bowl and tasted it, it was indeed very sweet.
Seeing that he drank it, Chen Xinghe's eyes lit up and said: "If you like it, I still have half a bottle. You can take it home and drink it when you want to drink it."
"No, thank you." Bai Qiu was very sincere when he said this.These days, people are short of food and clothing, and everyone has few things, so they are extra cautious. This is the first time I have met such a generous person.Bai Qiu had observed it before, and found that he was really the kind who didn't care about money.
Bai Qiu was in the educated youth center, waiting for their coal buyer to come back.Said: "Let's clear out the small shed first." Save it and have no place to unload it.
A few men came out soon, Chen Xinghe didn't do much work, but he was usually generous, and the men and women in the educated youth institute were soft-spoken and soft-handed, and no one picked on him right now.
The small shed is very big, but there are too many old things in a mess.With a slight movement, ash one meter high can be lifted.When a few people came out, it was as if they had just gone down the well from their hair to their shoes.
Just as I finished cleaning here, I heard the sound of rumbling cars passing by outside.
When Bai Qiu and the others came out, they saw the educated youths in the cockpit.
"Here comes the coal, fast comrades take the shovels." Bai Qiu instructed.I don't know if this is by He Changfeng's side every day, but now his temperament is more capable than before.
The car stopped steadily at the gate of the Educated Youth Office.They all started unloading in the car and out into the yard.The car was in a hurry to go back, and he didn't have time to wait for him to go to the yard one after another.
The boy unloaded the cargo and the car drove away.
Chen Tong said to Bai Qiu: "I found a bargain today." His tone couldn't be more excited.
When Bai Qiu was questioning, the educated youths around him also surrounded him.Said: "If we go there, the normal ticket price is [-], but there is a unit in front of the boiler who came to pick it up. He asked for [-] tons at once, and the price of [-] was given by the mine. We followed closely behind. , It also took advantage of the price and the price is thirteen, that is, the car is ten yuan no matter how much it is.
A lot of local people pick up briquettes and sell them for a penny a catty. I thought we would collect some.Anyway, there is no price increase for one car, so we charged 650 catties, so we bought more than 20 catties of coal for 600 yuan! "It really took advantage of it, and then gave the remaining ten yuan to Bai Qiu and said: "We spent fifty cents, carpooling when we went, plus a bowl of noodles for each person. "
Bai Qiu said: "After you left, the village still distributed food."
The three of them were also very happy to hear that.
The boys put all the media in the small shed, and this time they were not bad, the coals were neat, and some had to break open the coals when they encountered large ones.
Let the girls go in first to burn the kang and heat up the two houses until it's eight o'clock and it's completely dark.They made radish soup with steamed buns, and greeted Bai Qiu to eat. Bai Qiu said: "You guys eat, I'm going back." There is not much food at the Educated Youth Institute.
On the way back, Bai Qiu happened to meet He Changfeng who came out with a flashlight, and looked for him in the direction he came from.
Bai Qiu saw him and said, "Why did you come out in such a cold day?"
He Changfeng said: "See why you haven't come home yet." There was still some complaint in his words.
"There are a lot of things going on in the office today." They are distributing grain and buying coal.
Bai Qiu also shrunk his neck coldly, pulled He Changfeng's arm and said, "Hurry up, don't talk." The winter in the Northeast is so cold, it's as if you can drink the northwest wind with just one mouth. pain.
Just He Changfeng was still wearing a thin padded jacket, which was obviously ordinary clothes, but he was handsome and forced to wear a handsome look.But Bai Qiu didn't care about how to keep warm and how to dress. Bai Qiu and these native Northeast people were really incomparable in terms of cold resistance.
When the two returned home, He Xiaosan and He Xiaosi had already fallen asleep.Bai Qiu went into the house to wash his face, and wanted to go to the kitchen to see if there was anything to eat.He Changfeng went with him.Open the lid and there are rice and vegetables inside.Today, the food is divided, and it is rare to steam the rice once.Put it in a large iron pot, and it is still a little warm after several hours.
Bai Qiu was still cold after taking a bite of the meal, so he went back to the house early, and covered the quilt tightly on the kang, and then he came back to life. After a while, He Changfeng took off his clothes, and came up by leaning on him .He Changfeng's body was hot, and it seemed like a heat source was added to the bed when he came in.Bai Qiu couldn't help getting closer, but his hands and feet were like ice, and he was too embarrassed to stick them on others in the cold weather.
He Changfeng hugged Bai Qiu in his arms and said, "Why are you so cold?" After speaking, he warmed him with his whole body.
Hugged in Bai Qiu's warm arms, he felt he was recovering little by little.Said: "People in the village say that when the body is cold, no one hurts."
He Changfeng's voice came from above Bai Qiu's head: "Nonsense, how can you be loved by no one. My mother will soon make you the third eldest in our family. From now on, don't use your surname Bai, but change your surname to He."
"No." Bai Qiu said.
He Changfeng let go of him a little, and looked down at him: "You still don't want to?"
"En." Bai Qiu said.
He Changfeng let go of his hand, and with the dim light above his head still on, he said, "Then I'll tickle you."
Bai Qiu looked at him in surprise: "Are you childish?"
He Changfeng was irritated by his childish words, so he scratched him directly.
Bai Qiu kept hiding under the blanket: "Hahaha, stop making trouble..." All the heat that had finally accumulated in the blanket was released.
He Changfeng usually looks like a steady person, but he is different in front of Bai Qiu.
……
It was very warm in the bed, although I could already hear the rustling voices outside.But still no motivation to get out of bed.It was too cold outside.
Bai Qiu opened his eyes and found that he was embracing He Changfeng.The hot kang in the northeast is like this. It is very hot in the first half of the night, but it gradually cools down in the second half of the night.Afraid of the cold, Bai Qiu automatically approached a warm place, but when he got up in the morning, he saw He Changfeng's playful eyes.
"You're too clingy." The corner of his mouth curled up.There is a bit of pride in the words.
Bai Qiu's face turned hot, and she let go of her hands.Said: "When did you wake up?"
"Five o'clock."
Bai Qiu glanced outside, it was at least seven o'clock outside now.Then he was entangled in bed by himself for two hours.As soon as Bai Qiu thought about it, his heart started to pound.
He Changfeng said: "It's not..."
Bai Qiu got up, took the tooth bowl and towel and went to the yard to brush his teeth and wash his face, but as soon as he came out, he was shocked by the scene in front of him. In just one night, there were white cotton jackets on the branches and eaves, and the sky was still buzzing. Light snow.Impressively decorated into a snow-white world, really beautiful.
He Changfeng came out and saw it, and said, "It's snowing, eat a big goose."
Behind him, He Xiaosan and He Xiaosi were running around in the yard.Children like to put shoe prints on every spot of snow in the yard.The snow was creaking and creaking. He was having fun at first, but when he heard He Changfeng's words, he immediately shouted, "Eat stewed goose."
After the snow fell in the village, the free-range chickens, ducks and geese could not find food.They can only eat dry food, and they don't grow meat.Basically, they will be killed before the festival.Anyway, the outdoors in the Northeast are natural large freezers, and the meat will become firm after being frozen outside for a day, and it will not spoil during the Chinese New Year.
At this time, He Jianguo and Lan Guiying came back from the outside, and the family really had a good understanding. They saw Lan Guiying carrying a big goose that had lost its feathers, and it looked like it weighed more than seven catties.
He Jianguo originally had a sad expression on his face.Those who didn't know thought he had an argument with his wife, but when he saw Bai Qiu, his eyes lit up and he said, "Bai Qiu, let's go into the room and talk about something."
Bai Qiu let out an oh, and followed back to the house.
He Changfeng walked behind and asked his mother what happened.Lan Guiying didn't even know.
Seeing Bai Qiu and He Jianguo enter the house, He Changfeng also followed.
What He Jianguo wanted to say was not a secret, and said, "We have a pig in our village. It's been over a year, and it's only sixty catties." Everyone divides the meat, and it turns out that dry feeding is not fat.
He Jianguo said: "The man who raised the pig said it was because there was not enough swill in the village, and the pigs had nothing to eat, so they came out hungry. I went to Daniu Village today, and the situation in their village is similar to ours, but there is someone who knows how to raise pigs." The educated youth raised the pigs in their village to two hundred catties."
But he was shocked. The pigs raised in the village can distribute the pork during the Chinese New Year, or sell it directly to the meat factory. Now that the grain is distributed in winter, the price of pork has risen from the previous 100 cents per catty to [-] cents, an extra [-] cents. How much does it cost?
He Jianguo said: "He is capable, there is no reason why we can't do it. You choose a swineherd from among the educated youths. From now on, he will not need to do the farm work in the village." This is good news for the educated youths, after all, such high-intensity farm work is not A few can hold on.
Bai Qiu said: "But we don't know how to do it either." He had never heard of anyone raising pigs, they were all children from the city.Not to mention raising pigs, I have never seen a live pig.
He Jianguo said: "I have thought about this for you. The village will issue a letter of introduction for you. You can go to the county library to find books. There is a big fat pig in the book. Go, fatten up the pig!"
Bai Qiu's eyes lit up, it was a good thing to be able to borrow books from the county library!
Bai Qiu had to be even more busy. Apart from the village cadres' meeting, he also had to go to the educated youth study group to endorse and do quizzes.
The days are also full.Chen Xinghe's question bank has also arrived in the past few days. After the learning atmosphere has improved, everyone is scrambling to copy it every day. It's just that the educated youth place is a bit cold. When writing a few lines, you have to breathe into the tip of the pen, otherwise the ink will not come out.
Bai Qiu lives in the village chief's house. Their kang is cold outside but warm inside. But at the Educated Youth Center, the cold outside is even colder inside. The only way to keep warm is to hold a warm water bag.
Bai Qiu said: "It's only December now, and it's going to be cold until March at least. What's the deal with it getting colder every day?" Boys are better with rough skin and thick flesh. Female educated youths can't stand it. The day before yesterday, Chen Lu's stomach Pain and fainted, everyone wants to send to the clinic.In the end, Wen Yitian, who had a good relationship with her, quietly pulled Bai Qiu aside, blushed and said it was the girl's menstrual period.
The rural kang doesn't burn, and it's cold when sleeping on it. Almost all the lesbians in the educated youth center have dysmenorrhea, but Chen Lu is more serious.
Bai Qiu had inquired about it, and the educated youth institutes used to survive like this.
These educated youths present, regardless of men or women, all study in the same room during the day, so it can be warmer if there are more people.When Bai Qiu asked, everyone didn't know what to do?
Bai Qiu said: "I heard from my fellow villagers that this year is a very cold winter, so why don't you just buy coal? I've inquired about it. The nearby mine costs 20 yuan a ticket, a total of [-] catties. It's enough to cook and burn kang for a whole winter." , but it costs ten yuan to hire a car from there!" Bai Qiu said: "Let's pay from everyone's money."
Bai Qiu figured out the accounts clearly, he paid the living expenses again before, and now he still has 300 yuan deposited in his hand.
People in the Educated Youth Institute live in this cold weather, and most of their hands are frozen. Hearing what Bai Qiu said, they said, "Success, buy coal this year!"
"I agree."
"I should have bought it a long time ago, so I don't have to worry about cooking in the future."
Everyone agreed to buy coal, Bai Qiu felt relieved, and felt more and more that it was wise for the village head to ask him to pay him a living allowance on a monthly basis.The money has not been distributed, and they can focus on some major things. If it is distributed, it will be difficult to collect it from them.
Just like the first batch of Bai Qiu sent more than 17 yuan, enough for them to make a cotton coat and trousers.But only half of the people did it, and the other half were reluctant to pay, so they wore several layers of single-piece clothes and shivered from the cold.
Bai Qiu said: "Come here some men, let's go buy coal together." It takes a long time to go back and forth, and people are needed for loading and unloading cars.
"I'll go." After Chen Tong finished speaking, he brought another male educated youth named Li Jianfeng. The two were tall and strong and capable of working. Huang Xiao looked at it, thought for a while and then raised his hand. They were surrounded by several people in the village. Yue wanted to go out to get some fresh air.
So the three of them followed Bai Qiu to the village chief to ask for leave.
As soon as He Jianguo heard that they were going to buy coal, he said, "That's right, go with a few people from our village later. You can also take care of each other." After a pause, he said, "Bai Qiu, don't go this time. , there are other things for you to do in the village."
Bai Qiu said: "Okay."
Then he gave Chen Tong the prepared 40 yuan.Among these few people, Chen Tong was quite stable.Bai Qiu said: "You can buy as much as you can." The winter in Northeast China is too cold, and it is impossible not to buy coal.
Chen Tong nodded and said, "Success."
Then follow the people in the village to carpool together.
Bai Qiu sent them out and stayed with the village committee.Soon, many people from the village committee came one after another, He Changfeng, Wang Mazi, Feng Shouyi, they all came, and even the female director like Lan Guiying came over, as if something big was about to happen.
He Jianguo said: "Today, gathering everyone here is the most important thing to announce. The food above has been distributed. Let's start to distribute it later."
As soon as his words fell, everyone in the village committee was happy. This year's food distribution is a full month later than last year. Many people have to spend money to buy food when they run out of food at home. It costs [-] cents It is really painful to spend food, and it is finally going to be divided.
This is a big job, distributing food, distributing various food stamps and distributing money at the same time, He Jianguo looks like there are more than last year, and he will definitely have a good year.
It's all about organizing village cadres to do it.He Jianguo said: "This is a major event in the village and no one can fix it all. It's up to Ding Kemao to call it down. All the cadres here are village cadres. Don't favor anyone. I have a tough temper. Others I don't care how the village is divided, if anyone in our village steals less, let me know, and I will be the first to report it to the higher authorities."
After He Jianguo finished speaking, he looked around.
Regardless of whether it was true or false, after being beaten up by him like this, the officials in the village all said: "Let's not do that immoral thing."
"I haven't done it in the most difficult time, let alone now."
"That is, if the folks know about poking our spine."
He Jianguo then changed the subject and said, "That's okay, you two and two groups, all of you must be distributed within today." Then he looked at Bai Qiu and said, "Xiaobai, work harder, you and He Changfeng first Distribute the money, and then record how much money is distributed to everyone. Among these old hats, you are the only one who writes, and you record the ones who distribute the food!"
He Jianguo trusts him quite a bit now, and he can't go wrong if he takes over the job.
Bai Qiu nodded and said no problem.
Soon He Jianguo took out the village's centimeter books and asked them to fry them separately. Those who put food stamps depended on the centimeters, and divided them according to the head.The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the meat ticket above is enough, two catties per person.Even the little dolls at home have a meat ticket.It will definitely be enough to buy meat until the Chinese New Year.
Bai Qiu came over and copied the master copy.He Jianguo went to the village with a loudspeaker to inform all the villagers that the afternoon literacy study was cancelled, and they went door to door to the village committee to wait for the food distribution. Once the news came out, everyone couldn't sit still.
Some were holding children, some were carrying flour bags, they went to distribute the food stamps first, and then went to distribute the food.There are three kinds of grains in the village, coarse grains, corn flour, white flour, and rice.
Most people want all the corn noodles, and less white noodles. It’s almost New Year’s Day, and after New Year’s Day, it’s a new year and the Spring Festival, so why not eat a few dumplings.As for the most delicious northeastern rice, there are few people who exchange it. Their rice stewed rice is full of flavor, and it is all peasants who can eat it, so they have to eat as much as they want.No change, nothing to eat!
At this time, I can see the benefits of having more men.People with more labor force earn more centimeters.When distributing grain, there were several large bags of corn noodles.Carried on their shoulders, everyone looks at them as if they are showing off their wealth.
In their village, both food and money are distributed.This year is a good year and has advanced again.There are more fine grain meat tickets than in previous years.In addition to food, the money can be divided into thirty or forty yuan, and the least can be divided into seven or eight yuan.
Bai Qiu and He Changfeng cooperated tacitly, Bai Qiu made plans over there, and He Changfeng gave the money.
The people in the village also showed smiles, and they were not bored when queuing up. The acquaintances chatted with each other and said, "This year is really not for nothing..."
"It's not bad. Just now, Mrs. Li divided up eight bags of coarse grains and 25 catties of fine grains. Can I eat it?"
"We can't compare with others. His family has five sons, and the daughter-in-law is also a good labor force. Plus the old couple, how many people are there in total. But I heard from her third daughter-in-law that if anyone's family is short of food, they can go to him. It’s cheaper than supply and marketing cooperatives anyway.”
"This year's grain harvest is bumper, and it will definitely be enough for a period of time!"
"After the food is distributed, let's have a cat winter."
"It was in previous years, but this year I have an ideological education class again. I really don't know when it will be. I wondered, today I cut two catties of meat for my family to improve my life. It's been a long time since I tasted meat, let alone Children and adults are all hungry."
"If you want me to say yes, I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative's meat place and line up early, buy two catties of fat meat and some meat oil, and save enough to eat for a while." It turned out that the two newly married young daughters-in-law were talking , everyone on the left and right is queuing up, it’s okay, the people behind heard it, and couldn’t help but chat up: “You can’t buy fat meat.”
The person next to him said: "Who says it's not the case? The meat sellers in the supply and marketing agency left the fat ones early on. We can only buy the skinny ones when we go."
Everyone in the village can’t eat anything meaty, and they don’t want to use oil when cooking. In their eyes, lean meat is still sticky, and big fat meat is fragrant and delicious. After eating, their lips are covered with oil.
"Is Xiaowei from our village in the county meat joint factory?"
"That's not familiar, how dare you find him..."
Everyone didn't think it was boring when they were talking.The house on the side of the village committee was burning hot, familiar and unfamiliar people could chat together, and it was their turn after a while.
The fat aunt in the village looked at Bai Qiu, he was a very energetic young man, with a good planner, he was really handsome no matter how he looked.
I heard Bai Qiu say: "The total is 30 yuan and eighty-five cents." Bai Qiu said.
He Changfeng took out three ten-dollar bills from the side, and then counted out nine cents. Basically, they would catch up with a few cents, and they all flirted up.
In this way, the villagers are also happy, as if they have taken advantage of it.The fat aunt said: "Bai Qiu, what kind of wife do you want to find in the future. Let me see if I have a suitable girl in my hand, and introduce you." Older people love soliciting matchmakers. People look down on Bai Qiu and feel unable to work.
But now seeing Bai Qiu as the team leader doing the math, it's easy to say a word in the educated youth team.Besides, there is no one in the village who is better than him in this skillful abacus.
Although Chen Xinghe was also handsome and unrestrained, the people in the village didn't even dare to think that he was not someone who could stay in the village at first glance.In fact, neither is Bai Qiu, but everyone likes him and wants to keep him as Chen Jiawan's son-in-law!
Bai Qiu can coax people with a sweet mouth, and there is no one in the village who doesn't like him, especially Lan Guiying. Her four sons are all excellent, but Bai Qiu is the one who always talks about it. If you don't know, you may think Bai Qiu is the real one What about his own son?
Bai Qiu was taken aback for a moment, then his face became hot, he lowered his face, and after a while he raised his face again and said, "I... haven't thought about it yet."
He Changfeng beside him also looked at Bai Qiu, his face darkened.This aunt finally knew that she couldn't blame everyone for teasing Bai Qiu.He is so funny, I am embarrassed to tease him.There are fewer girls in the village and more boys. The young men are afraid of being single, and when they reach their age, they ask someone to introduce them to them on a blind date. Bai Qiu is different from others.
Fat aunt said: "Oh, you should look for it at your age..."
He Changfeng said beside him: "He can't afford a wife."
This sentence made the fat aunt speechless, He Changfeng really hit the point, no matter how good Bai Qiu is, he is still a young educated youth.Without a house or money, Fat God just looked at Bai Qiuhao and forgot to think about his problems.
Marriage is not a small matter, very enthusiastic turned into two points.
Afraid that Bai Qiu would be discouraged, he said: "There are also those who don't care about the conditions." After speaking, he laughed and moved aside, letting the next one come over.Bai Qiu looked at it like a small episode, and recovered after a while.
But Bai Qiu keenly noticed that He Changfeng's mood was not as good as when he first started working.
After all the money was distributed, Bai Qiu also copied the roster, and gently touched He Changfeng with his elbow: "What's wrong?"
He Changfeng glanced at Bai Qiu, never thought about what would happen to Bai Qiu after he got married.Just thinking about it makes me irritated.At this moment, seeing his little educated youth tilting his head to look over, with curiosity in his eyes, he said: "It's okay." Although he was troubled, he couldn't say that, he couldn't say that he didn't want Bai Qiu to find a partner, could he? .
It's not good for my little educated youth to be too flamboyant, seeing that several girls in the educated youth center always come to him.I don't know which one he likes.
He Changfeng was depressed, what good would it be to ask him to find a partner?There is no freedom at all if there are more people in charge.
Bai Qiu was a little puzzled, he obviously looked very irritable, why did he say nothing happened, Bai Qiu said, "What's the matter?"
He Changfeng felt more and more depressed, rubbed his hair, and felt better, and said, "Come on, let's go out and help weigh the grain."
Bai Qiu's hair was originally fine, but he messed it up, so he gently combed it with his fingers.
Just as he was about to get up, he heard a commotion, and the crowd asked, "Why are they here?"
"Is there any face left?"
"Yes."
The people who came were Zuo's father and Zuo's mother. Since Zuo Yingying's incident happened, everyone didn't like their family very much.How can children be educated like that? There is no shortage of cynicism when they meet.Zuo Yingying's matter really did not lightly affect the family. Her sister Zuo Fenfen was engaged, but because of this matter, the man quit and asked for the 60 yuan of the bride price back.Now no one in the village cares about them at all.
They don't come out very often, and after a long time, they still feel that there are no such people in the village.I remembered it when I saw her.My heart suddenly responded.
Zuo's mother and Zuo's father's family were almost unable to open the pot and came to share the food.Because centimeters have been deducted before, and they also like to steal and play tricks when they are working, there are not many, and once they are deducted, they will be even less.Calculated, it is only enough to get eight catties of corn noodles.
When Zuo Ma heard this, she said, "Is it a mistake?" Although something happened to her family, this year is a bumper harvest year, and the next time the food is distributed will be in March. Normally, there will be no food. Sell more.
Why can't their family have enough to eat for a month?
The person who distributed the food was Wang Mazi, who said angrily, "Look at your house's centimeter, it is enough to distribute seven catties and nine taels. I will take care of you if I give you eight catties."
The people around were all waiting for the food distribution, but she got stuck and said, "Hey, if you don't want to go out...you still have to wait for the food distribution later."
"That's right, don't you know what you did?"
These two people usually kept their heads down in the village, but now seeing how little food was available, they suddenly collapsed, sitting on the ground and shouting: "Oh, everyone in the village is running on us, we can't survive this day!" Go down. Uuuuuuuuuuuu..." After speaking, she sat on the ground and began to cry loudly.
Dad Zuo beside him not only did not try to persuade him, but even added fuel, saying: "You are all good people, but we are bad... Simply, you strangle us all to death, we can't get through this winter without food anyway. I forgot a single one. I can't miss you." As he spoke, he looked around with vicious eyes.
That's obvious. Besides, it was everyone who forced their family to death.
Originally, distributing food was a happy thing.Especially the queue at the back.Looking at the familiar families in front of me, there are more than one, and they are looking forward to it here.As a result, before the food was distributed, they swear and swear.
A few angry ones started to scold directly: "Why, I let you cheat and play tricks. Originally, the village eats a big pot of rice. You are lazy and hardworking people deserve to work more? Thanks to the village. It’s the centimeter system, otherwise we’d still be aggrieved.”
"That's right, we don't owe you anything for what you are playing here."
"The village head is soft-hearted. If you want me to say, I would have driven your family away when something happened. There are not as many moths as there are today."
The quarrels in the house became louder and louder, and the village chief outside came into the house without paying any food, and said, "This is all done in a fair manner. If you are not satisfied, you can report it to the higher authorities. I will sit up straight."
Now Aunt Xu rushed to the front and said: "Old Zuo's family, why are you so embarrassed? When your girl was lost, the director followed us to the county to find someone. Our village head rode for several hours to the county, and almost because of You have lost your progress. Whether you have a heart or not, you still blame everyone now, what do you want?"
How could the two of them have so many mouths, they were so suffocated that they couldn't speak.Just short of breath, said: "Eight catties of food for us to do chores? Ah... We survived when we were hungry in the 60s, but now we starve to death when the year is good."
Bai Qiu frowned, they were a bit morally kidnapped.I just want to make a fuss and share more food.If this trend is opened, wouldn't it be that only those who make trouble will benefit in the future.
Everyone looked at them, there must be something pitiful about the hateful person, eight catties of food is indeed not enough to eat.At this moment, Bai Qiu said: "The rations are not enough, you can buy them."
His voice was not loud, but when everyone was thinking, everyone heard him when he spoke.
Zuo Ma said: "Where is the money... Our family can't survive the winter!"
Bai Qiu said: "Didn't Zuo Yingying say that you have 20 yuan?"
He was also at the police station at the time, but I heard...
Zuo Ma froze, and said: "What the hell, don't talk nonsense." She scolded with a look of panic.Everyone keenly noticed that there was something tricky in it, and hurriedly urged Bai Qiu to speak.
There was some hesitation on Bai Qiu's face.
Zuo Ma said: "I don't have this money at all, don't talk nonsense." It seemed like she was trying to cover it up.
Seeing her so nervous, there is something I don't understand.It must be Bai Qiu who knows something.
The money might be real, so Aunt Xu said, "Since we have money, if we don't buy food, we still have to scoop it out of everyone's pockets. We don't agree."
"That's right, isn't it just not enough to take advantage?"
"Hey, I'd like to know why Zuo Yingying said she's fucking rich."
Now that the conversation has come to this point, the people present will understand after thinking about it: "It is estimated that she wants you to get her money." This is not a new thing.
But seeing that Zuo Yingying was still taken away, after thinking about it carefully, she felt that this matter was really true. The Zuo family valued money very much, and they were not willing to take money at all.
Although it is not easy for the villagers to save some money, compared to the family's reputation and the girl's future, most people will definitely take it, but she is willing to give up her life.Now seeing that there is no food at home, and they are still unwilling to spend money to buy it, the people present mocked: "I really don't know what to do with so much money."
Zuo Ma's face turned blue and pale.He Jianguo said: "Hurry up as soon as you finish the division, don't stand in the way here, many people have not yet divided."
After speaking, Zuo Ma stood up and left crying.Zuo Dad received eight catties of food and then went home.
After receiving the food, everyone told everyone about Zuo Yingying, and someone asked Bai Qiu what happened that day.
Bai Qiu said he forgot...
Everyone looked at him and knew he wasn't telling the truth.I remembered it just now, how can I forget it now, it's better to save face for the Zuo family.What a good child, Zuo Yingying was never mentioned outside, I heard that Zuo Yingying was still pouring dirty water on Bai Qiu in the police station, she really raised all kinds of people with the same rice.
Soon the news spread that the Zuo family was making trouble at the village committee, and Xue Sanlin's family was so frightened that they didn't dare to pick it up. They asked the elders of the family to come and pick it up, for fear that everyone would spit on him.
After distributing the food, He Jianguo used the big loudspeaker of the village committee to shout to each family: "We will have a three-day rest starting tomorrow. Everyone has been given food and money. A lot of people told me just now that they want to go to the city to buy something. You can go to But you must go together. Come to me before you leave and tell me that you all go home early and are not allowed to stay outside. The old and young men who stay in the village cannot play cards..."
Bai Qiu listened in the room, and really felt that Chenjiawan was lucky to have such a village head.Really wholeheartedly for everyone.
I'm afraid that when I have money, I will lose it in a hurry.
After distributing the food to the villagers, it was distributed to the people in the educated youth office, thirty catties of food per person.A total of six hundred catties.
Bai Qiu called the educated youth who stayed at home to bring all the food back to the educated youth center.
As soon as I entered the room, I saw a strong smell of chocolate floating in the room. Everyone who entered the room held a cup in their hands, and this fragrance came from the cup.
During the day, male educated youths and female educated youths like to stay in the same room. Wen Tiantian said, "Leader, do you want to drink? It's so sweet."
Bai Qiu said: "Where did you get it?"
Chen Xinghe said: "My family sent the high-lego by mail." Others scooped up two spoonfuls and poured it into a cup to drink, but he didn't, he poured half a can into a thermos bottle.The boiled hot water is brewed directly, and after boiling, everyone pours it out of the thermos bottle.
It was the first time for the educated youths present to drink it. It was sweet and smooth, especially in the cold winter. After drinking a cup, they just felt warmer all over.
After he finished flushing, he refused to drink and poured it for others.
Bai Qiu found a clean bowl from the Educated Youth Office, poured out half of the bowl and tasted it, it was indeed very sweet.
Seeing that he drank it, Chen Xinghe's eyes lit up and said: "If you like it, I still have half a bottle. You can take it home and drink it when you want to drink it."
"No, thank you." Bai Qiu was very sincere when he said this.These days, people are short of food and clothing, and everyone has few things, so they are extra cautious. This is the first time I have met such a generous person.Bai Qiu had observed it before, and found that he was really the kind who didn't care about money.
Bai Qiu was in the educated youth center, waiting for their coal buyer to come back.Said: "Let's clear out the small shed first." Save it and have no place to unload it.
A few men came out soon, Chen Xinghe didn't do much work, but he was usually generous, and the men and women in the educated youth institute were soft-spoken and soft-handed, and no one picked on him right now.
The small shed is very big, but there are too many old things in a mess.With a slight movement, ash one meter high can be lifted.When a few people came out, it was as if they had just gone down the well from their hair to their shoes.
Just as I finished cleaning here, I heard the sound of rumbling cars passing by outside.
When Bai Qiu and the others came out, they saw the educated youths in the cockpit.
"Here comes the coal, fast comrades take the shovels." Bai Qiu instructed.I don't know if this is by He Changfeng's side every day, but now his temperament is more capable than before.
The car stopped steadily at the gate of the Educated Youth Office.They all started unloading in the car and out into the yard.The car was in a hurry to go back, and he didn't have time to wait for him to go to the yard one after another.
The boy unloaded the cargo and the car drove away.
Chen Tong said to Bai Qiu: "I found a bargain today." His tone couldn't be more excited.
When Bai Qiu was questioning, the educated youths around him also surrounded him.Said: "If we go there, the normal ticket price is [-], but there is a unit in front of the boiler who came to pick it up. He asked for [-] tons at once, and the price of [-] was given by the mine. We followed closely behind. , It also took advantage of the price and the price is thirteen, that is, the car is ten yuan no matter how much it is.
A lot of local people pick up briquettes and sell them for a penny a catty. I thought we would collect some.Anyway, there is no price increase for one car, so we charged 650 catties, so we bought more than 20 catties of coal for 600 yuan! "It really took advantage of it, and then gave the remaining ten yuan to Bai Qiu and said: "We spent fifty cents, carpooling when we went, plus a bowl of noodles for each person. "
Bai Qiu said: "After you left, the village still distributed food."
The three of them were also very happy to hear that.
The boys put all the media in the small shed, and this time they were not bad, the coals were neat, and some had to break open the coals when they encountered large ones.
Let the girls go in first to burn the kang and heat up the two houses until it's eight o'clock and it's completely dark.They made radish soup with steamed buns, and greeted Bai Qiu to eat. Bai Qiu said: "You guys eat, I'm going back." There is not much food at the Educated Youth Institute.
On the way back, Bai Qiu happened to meet He Changfeng who came out with a flashlight, and looked for him in the direction he came from.
Bai Qiu saw him and said, "Why did you come out in such a cold day?"
He Changfeng said: "See why you haven't come home yet." There was still some complaint in his words.
"There are a lot of things going on in the office today." They are distributing grain and buying coal.
Bai Qiu also shrunk his neck coldly, pulled He Changfeng's arm and said, "Hurry up, don't talk." The winter in the Northeast is so cold, it's as if you can drink the northwest wind with just one mouth. pain.
Just He Changfeng was still wearing a thin padded jacket, which was obviously ordinary clothes, but he was handsome and forced to wear a handsome look.But Bai Qiu didn't care about how to keep warm and how to dress. Bai Qiu and these native Northeast people were really incomparable in terms of cold resistance.
When the two returned home, He Xiaosan and He Xiaosi had already fallen asleep.Bai Qiu went into the house to wash his face, and wanted to go to the kitchen to see if there was anything to eat.He Changfeng went with him.Open the lid and there are rice and vegetables inside.Today, the food is divided, and it is rare to steam the rice once.Put it in a large iron pot, and it is still a little warm after several hours.
Bai Qiu was still cold after taking a bite of the meal, so he went back to the house early, and covered the quilt tightly on the kang, and then he came back to life. After a while, He Changfeng took off his clothes, and came up by leaning on him .He Changfeng's body was hot, and it seemed like a heat source was added to the bed when he came in.Bai Qiu couldn't help getting closer, but his hands and feet were like ice, and he was too embarrassed to stick them on others in the cold weather.
He Changfeng hugged Bai Qiu in his arms and said, "Why are you so cold?" After speaking, he warmed him with his whole body.
Hugged in Bai Qiu's warm arms, he felt he was recovering little by little.Said: "People in the village say that when the body is cold, no one hurts."
He Changfeng's voice came from above Bai Qiu's head: "Nonsense, how can you be loved by no one. My mother will soon make you the third eldest in our family. From now on, don't use your surname Bai, but change your surname to He."
"No." Bai Qiu said.
He Changfeng let go of him a little, and looked down at him: "You still don't want to?"
"En." Bai Qiu said.
He Changfeng let go of his hand, and with the dim light above his head still on, he said, "Then I'll tickle you."
Bai Qiu looked at him in surprise: "Are you childish?"
He Changfeng was irritated by his childish words, so he scratched him directly.
Bai Qiu kept hiding under the blanket: "Hahaha, stop making trouble..." All the heat that had finally accumulated in the blanket was released.
He Changfeng usually looks like a steady person, but he is different in front of Bai Qiu.
……
It was very warm in the bed, although I could already hear the rustling voices outside.But still no motivation to get out of bed.It was too cold outside.
Bai Qiu opened his eyes and found that he was embracing He Changfeng.The hot kang in the northeast is like this. It is very hot in the first half of the night, but it gradually cools down in the second half of the night.Afraid of the cold, Bai Qiu automatically approached a warm place, but when he got up in the morning, he saw He Changfeng's playful eyes.
"You're too clingy." The corner of his mouth curled up.There is a bit of pride in the words.
Bai Qiu's face turned hot, and she let go of her hands.Said: "When did you wake up?"
"Five o'clock."
Bai Qiu glanced outside, it was at least seven o'clock outside now.Then he was entangled in bed by himself for two hours.As soon as Bai Qiu thought about it, his heart started to pound.
He Changfeng said: "It's not..."
Bai Qiu got up, took the tooth bowl and towel and went to the yard to brush his teeth and wash his face, but as soon as he came out, he was shocked by the scene in front of him. In just one night, there were white cotton jackets on the branches and eaves, and the sky was still buzzing. Light snow.Impressively decorated into a snow-white world, really beautiful.
He Changfeng came out and saw it, and said, "It's snowing, eat a big goose."
Behind him, He Xiaosan and He Xiaosi were running around in the yard.Children like to put shoe prints on every spot of snow in the yard.The snow was creaking and creaking. He was having fun at first, but when he heard He Changfeng's words, he immediately shouted, "Eat stewed goose."
After the snow fell in the village, the free-range chickens, ducks and geese could not find food.They can only eat dry food, and they don't grow meat.Basically, they will be killed before the festival.Anyway, the outdoors in the Northeast are natural large freezers, and the meat will become firm after being frozen outside for a day, and it will not spoil during the Chinese New Year.
At this time, He Jianguo and Lan Guiying came back from the outside, and the family really had a good understanding. They saw Lan Guiying carrying a big goose that had lost its feathers, and it looked like it weighed more than seven catties.
He Jianguo originally had a sad expression on his face.Those who didn't know thought he had an argument with his wife, but when he saw Bai Qiu, his eyes lit up and he said, "Bai Qiu, let's go into the room and talk about something."
Bai Qiu let out an oh, and followed back to the house.
He Changfeng walked behind and asked his mother what happened.Lan Guiying didn't even know.
Seeing Bai Qiu and He Jianguo enter the house, He Changfeng also followed.
What He Jianguo wanted to say was not a secret, and said, "We have a pig in our village. It's been over a year, and it's only sixty catties." Everyone divides the meat, and it turns out that dry feeding is not fat.
He Jianguo said: "The man who raised the pig said it was because there was not enough swill in the village, and the pigs had nothing to eat, so they came out hungry. I went to Daniu Village today, and the situation in their village is similar to ours, but there is someone who knows how to raise pigs." The educated youth raised the pigs in their village to two hundred catties."
But he was shocked. The pigs raised in the village can distribute the pork during the Chinese New Year, or sell it directly to the meat factory. Now that the grain is distributed in winter, the price of pork has risen from the previous 100 cents per catty to [-] cents, an extra [-] cents. How much does it cost?
He Jianguo said: "He is capable, there is no reason why we can't do it. You choose a swineherd from among the educated youths. From now on, he will not need to do the farm work in the village." This is good news for the educated youths, after all, such high-intensity farm work is not A few can hold on.
Bai Qiu said: "But we don't know how to do it either." He had never heard of anyone raising pigs, they were all children from the city.Not to mention raising pigs, I have never seen a live pig.
He Jianguo said: "I have thought about this for you. The village will issue a letter of introduction for you. You can go to the county library to find books. There is a big fat pig in the book. Go, fatten up the pig!"
Bai Qiu's eyes lit up, it was a good thing to be able to borrow books from the county library!
