Quickly pass through and refuse to be cannon fodder

The two brought a dozen pheasants and hares down the mountain, and found a nest of wild eggs.

Almost at the foot of the mountain, Jiang Qingshan asked: "What do you plan to do with these wild game?"

Yuan Jing was stunned for a moment, he was too busy to compete with Jiang Qingshan, he forgot about this, the weather is not easy, he asked, "How are you going to deal with it?"

Jiang Qingshan said: "I will go to the town to find a place to shoot tomorrow before dawn."

This is trust in Yuan Jing, and he is not afraid of Yuan Jing going to inform him. Yuan Jing can also see that although this man was born in the army, he does not do things rigidly, so he smiled: "You have a channel, why don't you help me out together?" .”

"Okay." These were the last words Jiang Qingshan said before arriving home.

Yuan Jing followed behind him with a smile, feeling that this man was more like a man of the last days than himself.

When she got home, Niu Guilan knew that her son would not come back empty-handed after going up the mountain, so she smiled and said to Yuan Jing, "Don't start a business alone tonight, let's cook in Qingshan and try his skills."

Yuan Jing didn't expect this cold man to be able to cook. It's really surprising. Although Yuan Jing and Chen Jianhua have taken turns to cook for more than a month, they just cook the food well. Don't mention the delicious food, anyway. All the pot heads, if they are undercooked and raw, they can only be eaten as they are.

Yuan Jing smiled and said: "Tonight, I have a good time with Jianhua. I have to go and call Jianhua back, so that he won't have to eat at the Educated Youth Academy. When I come back, I will help Brother Jiang."

Niu Guilan agreed on behalf of her son: "Okay, Xiao Ji go and come back quickly."

Chen Jianhua only thought that Yuan Jing had already prepared dinner, so he came to tell him to go back to eat. When he went back, he saw Jiang Qingshan boiling water and scalding pheasant feathers. The indescribable fishy smell made his eyes go straight.

"Drool is coming out."

Chen Jianhua wiped his mouth subconsciously, only to see Ji Yuanjing laughing at him, and didn't care to fight back: "Is this a pheasant?"

In fact, I still want to ask, do they have their share?

"I can't tell you on the way. Brother Jiang and I went to the mountains and caught pheasants and rabbits. Brother Jiang will cook himself tonight."

"Great, Brother Jiang, I'll help." Chen Jianhua cheered and rolled up his sleeves to help.

That night, there was a spicy stir-fried rabbit meat, a stewed pheasant with wild mushrooms, and a fried vegetarian dish. The three big men moved their chopsticks quickly, and Niu Guilan's eyes narrowed into slits with a smile.

Sure enough, after Xiao Ji and the others moved in, the family became more popular, and her son's mood was higher than before. Although he didn't say anything, she, as a mother, could feel that her son was in a good mood.

After the meal, Chen Jianhua took the initiative to clean up the dishes and the kitchen, smiling all the time, and what he said made Niu Guilan laugh from time to time.

After tidying up, they went back to the room, one of them was lying on the table writing a letter, and the other was lying on the bed with their legs crossed and happily picking their teeth.

"I didn't expect Brother Jiang to be able to cook. His cooking skills are so good. It's really a shame." Chen Jianhua said with emotion, because Jiang Qingshan gave the impression that he didn't know how to cook in the kitchen. Aunt Guilan usually did the cooking when they were off work. When the meal is ready, wait for Jiang Qingshan to come back to eat, at most he will help boil the water.

"It's such a happy day. I wish it could last forever." Chen Jianhua recalled the taste of meat tonight and expressed his wish.

"Hey, Yuanjing, don't you agree? Are you writing a letter to your family? It hasn't been long since you sent the letter, and the reply from your family hasn't been received yet. Are you going to write again?"

Chen Jianhua wanted to drag Yuan Jing into the water because he spoke alone and had no one to drink.

Yuan Jing didn't turn his head. After getting along with Chen Jianhua for so long, he got to know Chen Jianhua's temperament, and replied: "This time it was for my dad, last time it was for my mother."

"Eh? Not the same place?" Chen Jianhua heard the problem.

Yuan Jing didn't mean to hide it: "My mother and my father divorced and now live with my stepfather. My father was exposed and is now being reformed on the farm."

The reason why I didn't write to Ji's father immediately is that I wanted to report to Ji's father after I got used to the life here, so that Ji's father wouldn't worry.

Chen Jianhua smacked his lips a few times when he heard it. He didn't expect the situation in Yuanjing's family to be so complicated. After a while, he said dryly, "Uncle, is he alright now?"

Yuan Jing turned around and smiled: "Let's make ends meet, I just hope that these days will end soon. I've thought about it, I'm good at hunting, and I'll find a way to improve my dad's life by hunting with Brother Jiang a few more times in the future. .”

"Should be, should be." Chen Jianhua didn't think there was any problem with Yuan Jing helping his father. Even if his father's composition was wrong and needed to be reformed, he was his biological father. If Yuan Jing ignored his biological father, Chen Jianhua would not Dare to approach.

He knows that some children take the initiative to expose their biological parents and draw a clear line with them. Although sometimes they are forced to, it is chilling. Chen Jianhua will never be close to such a person. Who knows if he will expose himself in the next moment ?

The two of them didn't talk anymore, Yuan Jing wrote "scratchy" on the paper, echoing the wind outside, Chen Jianhua suddenly became artistic, and felt that this moment was extremely warm.

After half a month of tossing and turning, the letter was finally delivered to Ji's father at Beihai Farm. Ji's father, Ji Changlin, saw the familiar handwriting on the envelope, and his hands trembled with excitement.

It's been almost half a year since he received a letter from his son. In the past six months, he has been thinking about whether his son has been bullied outside, and how he and his younger brother are doing.

At home, Ji's mother, no, now it's time to be called Zheng's mother. I usually don't say anything bad about Ji's father. I only say that for the safety of the two children, don't mention Ji's father in front of outsiders so as not to be implicated, and don't write to contact him. , so as not to be caught.

Mother Zheng didn't know that Ji Yuanjing had been secretly writing letters to Ji's father, and every time he sent a letter, he went to the post office several miles away from home.

Speaking of which, this is also related to Ji Yuanjing's status in the Zheng family. Zheng's mother was very considerate and caring for her stepson. Later, after the younger son was born, she divided the other half of her energy. It was very embarrassing. After the youngest sister was born, she became a superfluous person. When she left the Zheng family and went to the countryside, Ji Yuanjing was actually relieved, because he always felt like an outsider when he stayed in the Zheng family.

As for the younger brother, with his mother and father taking care of him, he won't be cold or hungry. Ji Yuanjing could tell that Zheng's father really loved his younger brother as his own son, and he has always been grateful to this stepfather from the bottom of his heart for this reason. .

Ji's father hurried back to his room, opened the letter and read it carefully. He read every word very seriously. Although he knew that he had a younger son, he had never seen him face to face. The younger son was still in his mother's stomach when he left. , only the eldest son grew up under his love, and his affection was particularly deep. Now on this farm, his son's letter is his only comfort and hope.

"...Dad, don't worry about me. I have a good life in the production team here. Now I am boarding in a fellow villager's house. There is a veteran named Jiang Qingshan who is a few years older than me in the fellowship's family. He will take me tonight I went to the mountains to hunt pheasants and hares. In the evening, Chen Jianhua and I were invited to have a big meal. Dad sends some dried meat to improve life."

"Brother Jiang's uncle is the old branch secretary of our production team. He takes good care of our educated youths. I experience happiness in labor, physical and spiritual happiness, which is not available in the city."

Ji's father's old tears flowed down, and he quickly wiped them off with his sleeve, for fear that the tears would fall on the paper and make the handwriting blur. He knew that his son wrote this to comfort his old father, so as not to worry him, but the interpersonal relationship revealed between the lines The relationship did reassure him somewhat that his son met a good man.

There are ten yuan and some food stamps with the letter, Ji's father is pleased and distressed, it must have been saved by his son.

Father Ji quickly memorized the entire letter before putting it away, hiding it in a tin box, and putting it in a hole under the head of the bed as a treasure, and when he missed his son, he would take out the letter inside and have a look .

***

Yuan Jing lived his life in a low-key manner in the Red Star production team. This low-key is relative to the original body. Because the original body lived in an educated youth courtyard, he was loved by female educated youths and unmarried girls in the village. Even though Chen Jianhua didn't participate, Wang Ling, whom he liked, frequently expressed affection for Yuanshen, and couldn't make friends with Yuanshen without any connection.

Nowadays, Chen Jianhua often goes to the Educated Youth Court, but Yuan Jing rarely goes there, unless there are necessary gatherings, he will not go there, and he will chat with Lin Dong when he is working, with female educated youths and unmarried girls in the village They kept their distance, so that the rejection by the male educated youth did not happen. Although the relationship was not very close, the male educated youth still regarded him as a group of educated youth.

When Yuan Jing was free, he and Jiang Qingshan ran back to the mountain. Although Jiang Qingshan still talked very little, the two became more and more tacit, and the game returned from hunting, except for his own food, was handed over to Jiang Qingshan. The next day, around three or four o'clock, Jiang Qingshan would leave with his bicycle, return before dawn, and hand over Yuan Jing's share of the money to him.

When the autumn harvest came, Yuan Jing counted the money in the money box and saved nearly a hundred dollars, as well as other vouchers. Moreover, he often ate meat, giving the impression that Yuan Jing was not in good health, and his pale face gradually faded. Turned rosy, it was Chen Jianhua, because he ate well and his body was in great condition, he looked better than other educated youths in the educated youth courtyard.

At first, Chen Jianhua wanted to learn boxing from Jiang Qingshan, but he couldn't get up in the morning after a few days, not to mention that now that Qiu received it, after a busy day, his head touched the pillow and fell into a deep sleep. There is absolutely no time to get up. How can I remember to exercise and boxing? In the morning, after brushing my teeth in a hurry, I grab two steamed sweet potatoes and run outside.

It was the first time to participate in autumn busy work, and Yuan Jing was exhausted. He was also assigned to harvest late rice, and his waist had to be bent there all the time. His body, which had already adapted to farm work, rebelled again.

During the break, Yuan Jing wiped the sweat that had slid off his face with a towel on his shoulders. The clothes could scrape off a layer of salt foam after a day. He picked up the tea mug and poured tea. His face was black and red, and he grinned and showed his big white teeth.

"Yuanjing, have you heard that after the busy period is over, the cultural station in the county will go to the countryside to deliver movies, and they will show movies in the open air at the venue. I heard that it will be very lively at that time, and the nearby villages will come over Look, when they release it in the village, some people in our team will come over to watch it, hehe, I heard that there are a lot of people to talk about at that time."

The latter words were told to Yuan Jing in a low voice, and Yuan Jing was amused to hear that love is a big opportunity for a blind date.
