The Eldest Sister is Like a Stepmother [60’s]

After leaving Mrs. Gui's house, Captain Lin took the educated youths to the private plot again: "This is your private plot. You can decide what you want to plant. You need to open up the land yourself. You can ask me about the seeds you plant at that time."

The educated youth looked at the hard land and could predict how difficult the future would be. They open up wasteland, farm land, and go to work... They are not here to engage in construction, but to work as coolies, right? I came with so much excitement at first, but now I am so desperate. If this goes on, what will happen in the future? At this time, they thought about contacting their parents and getting them back.

Qin Meimei: "Captain, we are here to engage in rural construction. If we are asked to open up wasteland, we don't know when we will open up wasteland. Will this...will this delay our rural construction?" Qin Meimei's tone was soft and she listened. Feeling pitiful.

However, at an age, Captain Lin couldn't feel pity for the little girl. He said: "Reclaiming wasteland for private land is a rural policy. It was proposed by state leaders in 1962. Little girl, you are here to engage in rural construction. You don't even know this? Have you really read books? Don't deceive our people. I haven't read the book." Captain Lin snorted coldly, knowing that the educated youth did not want to open up wasteland on their own, but wanted their villagers to help open up wasteland? What did the educated youth come for? Fortunately, when discussing with the girl, he took some things into consideration. The answer to the rural policy in 1962 was also taught by the girl. Otherwise, how would he, a gentleman, know how to answer in such a scrupulous way?

Qin Meimei's face flushed. For the first time, she, who used to be unfavorable, was planted on this old rural man.

Captain Lin snorted and said again: "You girl doesn't care about national affairs. It looks like you can't study. You don't need to go to the primary school teacher this time."

Captain Lin's words made the educated youth swallow all the excuses for not wanting to open up wasteland. They were worried that if they continued, it would be worse. The educated youths from the city were a little scared. The captain here was a so-called local snake, and they did not dare to offend him.

Zhang Xiaojun hurriedly said: "Captain, don't worry, we will definitely open up the wasteland ourselves, but there are not enough tools to open up the wasteland, and the speed will be slower, please don't care."

Captain Lin glanced at him: "The tools for land reclamation can be borrowed from the village committee office, just register it, but you will have to pay for damages. But you don't want to borrow them, and you can do whatever you want to reclaim land by yourself. Anyway, this is for you. The reserved land, the things that are planted are for you, it has nothing to do with the people in our village. . . "

Zhang Xiaojun: "Yes, yes, you are right, thank you for reminding us."

Fang Fang hurriedly asked: "Captain, then Qin Meimei has no chance to compete for teachers, so will the female teacher's place be given to me?"

Captain Lin said: "If you are active at work every day and don't be lazy, of course I will give it to you. We have a scorekeeper who will record the work points. If your work points are poor, there will be no places for female educated youths, only one for male educated youths. already."

Fang Fang was a little dissatisfied, but she was stopped by Fang Cao and didn't say anything.

Qin Meimei looked at Fang Fang and felt very uncomfortable. If she didn't say those words just now, if she was competing with Fang Fang, she would definitely be the female teacher.

Captain Lin didn't know they were fighting Xiao Jiujiu. He went home after introducing everyone. As for what the educated youth wanted to do, who cares about them. Seeing their thin skin and tender flesh, Captain Lin had a headache and wanted to be invisible.

After Captain Lin left, everyone stood on the reserved plot helplessly. Zhang Xiaojun said: "How about this, let's go back now, have a good rest in the afternoon, and come from the reserved land tomorrow morning, everyone will get a share of the land. In order to give the brigade a good impression, we have to work hard."

Qin Meimei: "But I've never opened up wasteland before, and I don't know how to open up wasteland. What should I do?" After saying that, she looked at Zhang Xiaojun aggrieved, "Zhang Zhiqing, you are the best here, can you help me? ?"

Zhang Xiaojun said: "Comrade Qin, I also want to help you. We are all educated youths, and we should help each other when we come together to build rural areas. However, if I help you, what should the captain think you are not only lazy but also active? The captain's impression of you is not very good, and if you continue... I'm afraid it won't be good for you."

Qin Meimei bit her lower lip and her eyes were red.

Zhang Xiaojun sighed: "Let's divide the land, and then go back." Let him help others work without thinking.

Soon the six educated youths were divided, and they returned to the educated youth dormitory.

Zhang Xiaojun: "Fang Zhiqing, I'm going to go to Gui Po's place to exchange something. Do you want to go? Or should I exchange it for you?"

Fang Cao thought: "Then let's go together, I also want to change something, I'll wait for me."

Zhang Xiaojun: "Okay, I'll ask the other two."

Zheng Wangming and Ren Qing heard Zhang Xiaojun's words and said that they would also go together. Although they don't know what to change, they can go! Go check it out.

So, the four of them went to ask the female educated youth next door.

Fang Fang: "I'm not going. I'm exhausted. I need a rest. Brother, please help me exchange some. I want to eat rice, not sweet potatoes."

Fang Cao: "Okay, brother will change it for you."

Then, when a few people went to Granny Gui's house, Zhang Xiaojun led the team and deliberately went to the Lin's house to kidnap him, but he kidnapped the old house of the Lin's family, which hadn't lived in for several years, so what he saw was that there was no one in the Lin's family.

Madam Gui's family was in poor conditions, her husband went early, and she only had one son. Before liberation, the son was killed by the devils, and she became an orphan. She survived the famine, and now that she has her own plot, she has survived. It's just that because she is old, she can't earn two or three work points when she goes to work, so the food distributed by the team is not enough for her to eat. However, because she is the only one in her family, the empty room in the house is used to grow vegetables on the stove, so her family has a lot of vegetables. And she raised chickens and pigs, and her life was getting better. Captain Lin said that her condition was poor, but in fact her condition was not bad, at least she ate well, and Captain Lin sent someone to change dishes with her purely to take care of her age.

Granny Gui is quite old. She is almost seventy this year. She grows her own land and takes twice as long as others, so she seems to have a good life, but it is actually very hard, but some people are hard-working.

Zhang Xiaojun: "Is Granny Gui here? Let's change things."

After Zhang Xiaojun and others came in, Granny Gui asked, "What do you want to change?"

Everyone looked at each other, Zhang Xiaojun said first: "Gui Granny, I'll change some eggs and vegetables, how do I change them?"

Gui Po said: "You can exchange grain with me, as well as cotton, bills, sugar and the like. We have a commune on the 15th of every month! On the trading day of the commune, the whole commune will exchange it. At that time, there were a lot of things to change, you can change more."

Zhang Xiaojun went out from the countryside. After arriving in the countryside, the things he brought were more practical, including food stamps, sugar stamps, cloth stamps, etc., as well as sugar and flour. Since he was reported to go to the countryside, he has won a lot of good things from his adoptive parents and adoptive mothers. When the things arrived, he also reported Zhang Xiaohong, who is also an adopted son, two days before he was about to leave. He is not a fool. If he goes to the countryside and doesn't know when he will come back, wouldn't the Zhang family's things be given to Zhang Xiaohong? Therefore, despite being unsightly by his adoptive parents and adoptive mothers, he also wants to get Zhang Xiaohong away. As for what he has already obtained, he will not return it.

Zhang Xiaojun used half a catty of brown sugar for half a catty of eggs and two cucumbers.

After Zhang Xiaojun was replaced, it was Fang Cao, he said: "Gui Granny, do you have refined grains? Rice and millet are fine."

Fang Cao: "Which Lin family? Are there many Lin families here?"

Granny Gui: "Look at me, I'm talking about Lin Dajun's family. The best condition in our village is Lin Dajun's family. Their family has eggs, meat tickets, and rice."

Zhang Xiaojun's heart skipped a beat: "Mr. Gui, why does Lin Dajun's family have all these things?" You must know that when he left, the family was so poor that they couldn't even afford to eat. Later, he found the big ominous shrimp and was told by him. Now, it is estimated that such a big ominous shrimp will not last long. When he came back this time, he didn't ask Captain Lin for fear of revealing his identity, but he didn't expect to hear about the Lin family from Granny Gui, and his heart skipped a beat. The reason why he came here to go to the countryside is because the Lin family is his last choice. If he can't live here any longer, he can seek sympathy from the Lin family.

The whole team knew about the Lin family. When Zhang Xiaojun asked, Granny Gui also said that, from planting vegetables on the stove, to the pig farm, to the assistant to the president, etc., among these things, the only thing is that there is no manuscript fee to make money. thing. Because Lin Yiyi made money by writing manuscripts, it was only reported in the two months of September and October in the 1960s, but it didn't come out later, and no one mentioned it. Therefore, this incident has not spread in other places except in the Datang production brigade. Besides, even if someone knew about it, it would only take two months. This kind of unstable thing, compared to such a big thing as growing vegetables on the stove, is simply unbearable. Over time, even the Xiao family forgot about it.
