From Cultivator to Widow

Zhang Chengye was in a bad mood, but neither the educated youth nor them could choose whether he wanted it or not.

The above is allocated, they can only receive.

After receiving the temporary notice, he first took the person back to the cattle and shed, and explained a few words.

He has a heart of compassion, after all, he is a lot older, so he explained a few words before leaving.

Today he brings people back, and tomorrow, as usual, someone will come down to organize a piracy meeting, and let them go up to do a review and accept the people's criticism and suggestions.

Prepare well in advance, write a review letter, think about the review words, and be good, you can suffer less.

The two newcomers brought simple quilts and no bed planks, which Zhang Chengye would not provide, and the rudimentary furniture in the cow and the shed was slowly pieced together by themselves.

Everyone came to this place for one reason or another. The original five people didn't know about the two strangers. They had experienced these things, and they were all very vigilant, but they didn't completely ignore them.

The two rooms here were originally the one that the man lived in. Now they can squeeze in two more people, but if there are more people, there is really no way to do it.

They got some hay as gifts from the five of them, spread it on the ground, and this was their bed.

Putting your quilt aside, we shared a meal of steamed sweet potatoes together.

The amount for five people is now eaten by seven people. It used to be able to eat six points, but now everyone eats only four or five points.

At this time, it was a bit cold at night, so we had to cover with a quilt. The two of them took out an old clothes and put them on as a quilt. They smelled a strong smell. In this unfamiliar place, the two felt that the night had been special. long.

Thinking about today, thinking about tomorrow, thinking about their future, do they still have a future?

Early in the morning, Zhang Chengye blew his whistle and called people to gather. Not long after, someone from the town came, holding a gong and beating it loudly. Everyone was familiar with this posture.

This kind of gathering is convened by the whole village, but children are not among them, and most adults are not willing to let children participate in this "lively".

So did Su An. She left the three children at home, told them not to go out, and took Zhang Baoguo to the gathering place.

This is the conference center of their village. There is a table above it. Usually meetings, food distribution, etc. are held here. Today, it has become a pidou platform.

The original body has experienced it, but this is the first time for Su Hui. She and Zhang Baoguo stood among the many villagers. Along with shouting slogans, the frenetic atmosphere is like a MLM scene.

There were three people who came, one beating gongs and drums, one was offstage, and the last one was on the stage. The guilt was read out loud to the side of the few people standing. After the reading was finished, they were asked to conduct a review. Can not be ignored, let everyone criticize, how to criticize?

That is to scold them loudly, throwing some rotten leaves or the like to them, indicating that they still need to continue to reform, and they are in a mess, and the people from the town are satisfied.

"We must not easily tolerate such bad, divided and subdued. The eyes of the people are bright, and we must illuminate everything. The chairman said that a single spark can start a prairie fire. When the fire is extinguished at the spark point, all the reactionaries, movements and factions will be overthrown..."

No wonder Zhao Xialan asked her if she had anything with her when she saw her, and she said she didn't stuff her with a handful of rotten leaves. It seemed that everyone understood.

Zhang Chengye took the lead, saying that the people would strictly urge them to reform their minds...

Literary held up his review book, lowered his head, and listened to what others said. He threw rotten leaves on his body, but he didn't respond, and he looked like he was wandering in the sky.

This is not unfamiliar, and he has experienced even more humiliation. He didn't give up at first, but there was no other result except that the more he was criticized and the more tired his relatives and friends became, he had already accepted his fate.

This meeting did not end until close to noon. Zhang Chengye invited people to have a light meal at home. The three of them did not stay, but returned with the review book. They repeatedly explained that they should regularly write reviews and urge them to reform...

The seven people were covered with vegetable leaves, sticky, sticking to their bodies, very disgusting.

They helped each other back, and the villagers went back to cook in twos and threes, discussing the people on the stage.

"The cadres in the town just said that these two people, one is a professor of the Department of Mathematics of Capital University, and the other is a professor of the Department of History of Capital University. They are both cultural people."

Some people say: "What's the use of reading so many books? Look at the teachers in the university..."

"Do you know when you see it and walk away in the future?" The parent warned the child sternly: "Otherwise, I will be careful with your legs!"

Others will complain in private: "What is this, it's a waste of time for a long time, what does this have to do with us..."

After the seven of them went back, they first scrubbed their bodies and hurriedly ate sweet potatoes to pad their stomachs. They didn't eat anything in the early morning.

No one was in the mood to speak, and it didn't take long for the newly arrived Wenxing to faint.

Both the body and the spirit have suffered a major blow, and being able to get sick until now shows that their previous foundation was really good, but their foundation was poor. Before reaching their destination, they were already halfway there.

Zhang Chengye was also proficient at this kind of thing. He took the medicine and let them both recover from the illness first. He also gave food rations, so he saved a little bit. When he had enough food, he could make up what he owed.

They really came here with a breath of fresh air, and they didn't have a dime on them except for the bedding and clothes.

Su An did not act. She planned to observe and observe the other party first. She wanted to see if he was worth her help.

In addition, he knew that there was someone here who was entrusted to take care of him, what would he do?

Both of them were relatively strong. They had a fever for a few days and took medicine. After all, they survived. After they survived, they worked under the guidance of others.

When they went to clean the pigsty for the first time, the two almost vomited and held back. Once upon a time, how could they have imagined that they would end up like this?

What else is there to say, I can only blame myself for not knowing people well, not only implicated myself, but also brought my family, relatives and friends.

Regarding these two newcomers, the attitude of everyone in the bullpen was not indifferent.

No one knows the details of the two of them. They are already like this and can't stand the bigger storm.

The five of them have also experienced a lot, and they got along slowly, and they have this relationship now. If you want to open your heart, you have to take it slow.

As for the necessary help, that is necessary. If you don't take the time to help them get used to it faster, when they are short of clothing and food, they will be a whole.

Their work is also considered work points, but the work points are discounted when it comes to food distribution.

So they will use all their free time to look for food on the mountain, and the most they look for are all kinds of wild vegetables.

Now there are two more people, if you don't try to find more, when the spring comes, you will be unable to open the pot.

After observing for a while, Su Hui didn't find any problems, so she began to help. She didn't show up herself, but when the two of them went up the mountain to find food, she deliberately made some noises in the place where the literature was advancing to attract him. Maybe a few wild eggs, maybe a nest of yams...

As for the issue of appearances, she decided to take another look.

She has the same and Xie Rui, because there are new people there, and they will not go there again.

Both sides chose to observe by coincidence.

The two of them can be regarded as resilient, tired of life, and have never cried out a word of bitterness.

After eating sweet potatoes and wild vegetables, he never said anything. He drank water when he was not full. It was not until more than a month later that he received a package from his son, and Wen Qing finally burst into tears.

There were not many things on the package. Zhang Chengye went to collect it on his behalf. After checking it, there was nothing illegal before handing it over to him.

The package is not big, just summer clothes, two winter clothes, very old, and a pair of shoes, a small bag of cornmeal, and half a catty of flour.

When Zhang Chengye was checking, he found something strange in the corner of his clothes. There should be some money there. He thought he didn't find it, and gave it to the literature.

Their letters and packages are all subject to inspection, and it is very common that something is taken away during the inspection, just like the white flour, look at the bag, there should be more than that, but here, only It's half a pound.

Zhang Chengye has also read the letter, and the content is very small, just to ask if his father is well, and then to say that his side is okay, safe, don't read, the rest is nothing, just such a letter, let the literature fall silently in the bed Tears were like a shot in the arm, making the numb him a little more angry.

Compared with him, his colleagues who went to this place with him have no news. After his accident, his wife announced that he had divorced him, and the children cut off their relationship with him one after another. The students also avoided it. .

...

After a heavy rain, the temperature dropped, and a piece of clothing could no longer resist the temperature. Some elderly people and children who were afraid of cold took out their winter clothes one after another.

This year is a good year, and there is a small bumper harvest of rice and sweet potatoes.

Behind the yard of Su Hui's house is the private plot. Basically, sweet potatoes are planted. Zhang Gen came to help when the crops were harvested.

Seeing the harvest, he couldn't help but praise.

It used to be the foot of the mountain, full of shrubs and grasses. In the first year, it was sorted out and planted with sweet potatoes. I didn’t expect the harvest to be no worse than those fertile fields. It seems that the second daughter-in-law served me very well.

These, plus the share at the end of the year, are enough for them to eat without his subsidy. Originally, he was ready and wanted to share some of it for them.

In the autumn, the big guy also got enough gifts from the mountains. Every family received a lot of wild fruits, which can be used as the main food when there is not enough food.

With crops such as winter wheat planted, days are more leisurely.

In this heavy rain, everyone rested at home, because their village can burn tiles, and there are many finished products. Most of the people with serious water leakage have gritted their teeth to fix the tiles. Now it is raining heavily, even if it leaks, it will not It was raining outside and it was raining inside.

On rainy days, general happiness increases.

Zhang Baoguo stood by the window, looking at the rain flowers outside, his hands obediently placed in his trouser pockets, and his body stood straight.

He is practicing military posture, exercising his concentration.

He looked at the private plot outside the window. Most of it was planted with sweet potatoes, but a small part was planted with kidney beans, peas, rapeseed and so on.

In the vacant room at home, a thousand catties of sweet potatoes are piled up, so they can eat it for a long time.

Such a good harvest is due to the fact that Su An is watering from time to time with the Lingquan, and the yield of sweet potatoes is already amazing. The yield per mu is several thousand catties. They don’t have one mu of private land, but they also harvest one thousand catties. These sweet potatoes can be stored for several months in a cool place, but if you want to keep them for a long time, you must make them into dried sweet potatoes, or It is made into sweet potato flour, but most people make it into dried sweet potato for preservation. Sweet potato flour is delicious, but the quantity is reduced too much.

There were still some sweet potatoes from the original, so Su An simply moved the grinding table to the hall, intending to make some sweet potato flour.

Seeing that there was work done, Zhang Baoguo moved his stiff legs: "I'll push!"

This grinding wheel is not light, Su Hui turns it easily, and Zhang Baoguo can turn it for a while. His current strength is comparable to that of an 18-year-old.

He was tired, Zhang Weiguo stepped on top, he turned around for a while, took a breath, and continued.

This looks very interesting, the two little ones will come to push and push a few laps together when they see what they are doing.

Usually, when Su Ani used to grind peanuts to make peanut butter, they would join in and play together.

Fresh is not fresh, but together as a family, it has its own fun.

However, in the cowshed, they are not as comfortable as they are. They all mobilized and used wooden basins and wooden barrels to catch the leaking rain. They could not stop sleeping at night. After a period of time, someone would go out to clean up the full basins and barrels. Poured outside, a rain, tossed them exhausted.

Shortly after this continuous heavy rain, winter officially came.

Su An was arrested as a strong man.

There is an accountant in their village, who is responsible for calculating work points and distribution of food. Every year, they are very busy during the period from the harvest to the time they are about to distribute the food. .

But not the grain, but the tile.

Every time the kiln is out of the kiln, there is a record of how many tiles are produced, and whoever decides how many is also counted, but the people in their village have only counted up until now, that is to say, they just took the tiles, and If there is no payment, this payment will be calculated together at the end of the year, and the people from other villages will use real money to buy it in their village.

There are also people who help in-laws in other villages, and it is up to him to come forward, but this kind of Zhang Chengye has clearly stated that if it is not his own household, he will also give money at the end of the year, and it will be deducted from the end of the year dividend. Delay it to the next year and it will always pay off.

So far, I haven't done so, after all, I don't know how much I will pay, and most of them are still waiting to see.

As for how much work points can be used to deduct these tiles, we have to come up with a charter. The charter has been determined. Now it is the calculation. Individuals work together, and finally come up with a number as a benchmark.

Zhang Chengye was very happy when he saw the total income.

This year everyone's enthusiasm is higher than last year, and the harvest is better. In addition, there is extra money. This year's money or food will be better than last year. He hopes that it will be like this every year, and it will be better every year , everyone can eat and dress warmly.

He knows that there are many families, because their money is shy, their children are old, and they can't start a family. When they get married, the whole family is crowded together, and it's inconvenient. Don't they want to move out?

I think, but I don't have the money to build a house. It's not wrong to save money with this mud brick house, but it costs money to buy materials.

According to this year, saving a few years can save money to build a small house.

He thinks of such a day, and his heart is beautiful.

Su Hui didn't know the exact number of tiles to burn before, but when she came out, she was also a little concerned.

Xie Rui, is a capable person.

At the beginning, the number of finished products has doubled compared to the current one. Many people in the village have used tiles, and the number of export sales is also considerable.

Not counting the number of people in the village, each household can be divided into two or three yuan.

Don't think that this is very few. There are hundreds of households in the village, adding up to thousands. They burn tiles, but it only started in May.

This achievement is inseparable from Zhang Chengye's strong support, but Xie Rui's ability has also been fully demonstrated. It is estimated that the three aunts and six mothers will be more diligent. After two years, the results are stable, and he wants to go back to the city. difficult.

Will he go back?

After thinking about it, Su An was a little reluctant to give up. Of course, it wasn't that she didn't give up Xie Rui, but Xie Rui's things. She exchanged sauce for many "specialties" of the capital. After leaving, it would be difficult.

Without delaying for too long, after calculating it clearly, Zhang Chengye distributed most of the food according to the work. As for those who bought tiles, there was also a conversion. After calculating the number of tiles that he took away, he knew that he should How much is rough.

They were pleasantly surprised to find that it was really not much. Within ten yuan, after the deduction was deducted, it would be almost enough to make up another five yuan. This is mainly because everyone did not receive much, and most of them only took away the serious leakage. Only the number of rooms available.

Those who did not receive tiles, such as Su Hui, received nearly four more dollars than last year.

All of a sudden, the accountant was full of people: "I want a movie next year!"

"I want a **** movie too!"

"The next one is me, I'm going to cover the other room too..."

At the end of the year, it is also the time for the big guys to have a wedding. At this time, everyone has more free time, and so does the host's family. They have just distributed the food and are relatively well-off.

That's when Zhao Xialan's sister-in-law got married.

It was postponed for some reasons, and the next good day is after the grain is distributed, and it is a good day to get together with others.

Although it is not feudal and superstitious, there are not many people who are not optimistic about this major life event.

Su An prepared a jar of shiitake mushroom sauce and a jar of sour bamboo shoots for Zhao Xialan's sister-in-law as a congratulatory gift. The person Zhao Xialan married was also surnamed Zhang, and Zhang Ping could still be related to each other. It was also called by her brother and brother when they met, although she was careful. Speaking of which, the entire Li Village surnamed Zhang is relatives, but from generation to generation, they have long been similar to ordinary people.

It's not surprising that she gave it. At this time, the gifts are not given for money, they are all for food.

Or a small bag of rice, a bag of dried vegetables, and someone close, such as Zhao Xialan's sister-in-law, she prepared a pair of towels, and she was bleeding profusely.

Because the industrial towels were one by one, she herself was reluctant to buy such a good one.
