"What should we do? What can we do? Didn't I tell you that tomorrow we will give food to the orphans and martyrs in the team?" Chang Gui lay on the bed, raised his body and shouted outside.

"Let's deduct the grain. Aren't we afraid that the rations for those young people won't be enough to keep up with the wheat harvest?" Zhang Jin locked the door and said squeaking.

"You still care about football so much?" Chang Gui cursed: "How many families on the team have already run out of food! Listen, we will do it tomorrow!"

As the village party secretary, Chang Gui was both happy and disappointed about this educated youth from the capital. What he was happy about was that these ten strong laborers came with resettlement fees and food rations. What he was disappointed about was that from now on this young man would be a young man.

I settled in Ishikawa Village. There was very little land in the village, and the food grown by every household was not enough to eat. Over the years, the men in the village had nothing to do at night and just slept with their mothers-in-law in their arms. The babies came one after another, and in just a short time

In ten years, Ishikawa Village has grown from more than 200 people to more than 400 people. With the arrival of educated youth, there are ten more mouths to eat.

Zhong Yuemin listened to Zheng Tong's words by the bonfire in front of the two ruined cave dwellings of the educated youth, and he was cheerful and not anxious at all.

"It's easy to handle. If you have it, eat until you're full. If it's gone, think of something else."

"How can that be done? What can we think of? We can't beg for food, right?"

"Why can't you!" Unexpectedly, Zheng Tong's words were in Zhong Yuemin's favour, so he said eagerly: "I heard from my dad that the farmers in this area have a tradition. When there is no harvest, they go out in groups.

I’ve long wanted to taste what it’s like to beg for food! Where can I experience this in the capital!”

Okay! Just based on what you said, I have to ask you to go out and ask for food for two days, so that you can experience this feeling! Li Yu felt bad in his stomach and made a decision secretly.

Begging is also an experience and a kind of growth, especially for the children of cadres like Zhong Yuemin who do not eat the fireworks of the world. As for Li Yu himself, he will definitely not ask for food. He has a lot of money hidden in his hand.

If you have food stamps, just bring your food book and go directly to the food station to buy them.

Although Zhong Yuemin knew that Li Yu had money and food stamps, he never asked about the specific amount, and he never mentioned it to Zheng Tong.

As soon as Zhong Yuemin said his bad idea of ​​begging for food, he aroused complaints from the educated youth.

"Whoever wants to beg for food can go. Anyway, I'm not going!"

This is a group of 17 or 18-year-old boys. How could they be so shameless as to go begging for food on the street when they need face the most!?

"That's easy. Let's divide the grain and join forces voluntarily." Zhong Yuemin said nonchalantly: "Jiang Biyun, you can divide more than thirty kilograms of grain. If you eat half a kilogram every day, you can definitely make it through the wheat harvest!"

This is purely a joke. Half a catty of food a day? Even a girl will be hungry!

This is not the future of fifty years when supplies are abundant. Some girls will eat not only half a catty of food a day, but two taels or even none at all! Because there are many vegetables, meat, and non-staple food, and there is oil and water in the stomach, the nutrition can reach the required level.

Very hungry.

But now, half a catty a day? Half a catty a meal is about the same! Especially for an 18-year-old boy like Zhong Yuemin, one meal requires at least one and a half catties of pancakes, because there are no vegetables, no oil and water, so they can only fill it with grain.

abdomen.

"Hey, let me make a suggestion. Let's just separate the men and women and save them from the women saying we take advantage of them." Cao Yang suggested.

Boys eat more and girls eat less. This is a good way to avoid disputes. All the boys agreed.

"Just divide it, what's the big deal!" Jiang Biyun said angrily.

At that moment, the educated youths decided on this matter. Men and women would set fire to separate stoves and take turns cooking. No one would have to compete with the other.

The educated youths chatted until midnight, until the bonfire went out and the chill of early spring swept over them again. They curled up their necks and went back to the cave to sleep.

Perhaps because of the contribution of sausages, Li Yu's bunk was the best on the Tongbu, leaning against the side wall of the Tongbu. Unlike Zhong Yuemin and the others, they were squeezed in between the two men like a can.

Li Yu decided to observe and see if Cao Yang and Qian Zhimin, who were sleeping next to Zhong Yuemin, had any such tendency. If so, then wouldn't their task of breaking Zhong Yuemin be completed?

The next day, at dawn, the boys got up one after another. No one slept well that night. Some snored and some grinded their teeth. The cave was airtight and the smell of the boys' feet was mixed together. The smell was absolutely amazing.

Got it!

Breakfast was still the leftover pickle and pimple soup from last night. After it was heated, I smashed the dried sweet potatoes and soaked them until soft. I drank it with a slurp.

With food in their stomachs and much warmer bodies, after breakfast, the educated youth gathered together and walked toward the open space at the head of the village.

There were shouts from the loudspeakers last night, and a members' meeting was held this morning to introduce the educated youth from the capital to the villagers.

There was nothing much to say at the meeting. Chang Gui introduced the educated youths to the villagers, pointed at the men from the families who were most likely to have children in the village, and cursed them. The villagers laughed noisily, and the meeting was over.

Go to work, work!

As the saying goes, before and after the Qingming Festival, you plant melons and beans. It is now the time after the Qingming Festival. Although the wind blowing from the Mu Us Desert is still cold, the weather has actually warmed up. As long as it rains, it will be a good time for spring plowing.

season.

Chang Gui looked up at the blue sky. The warm spring sun was also very dazzling. There were not even a cloud in the sky, and there was no sign of rain at all. Chang Gui lowered his head and cursed "Donkey day", and then

Arrange farm work for the educated youth.

It is said to be farm work, but in fact it is just some kind of helper activities. Really decent farm work such as plowing the ground, planting beans, helping plows, etc., Changgui will not allocate it to these newly arrived educated youths. These are all from the city.

Children, I'm afraid they have never touched a hoe in their lives, so let them dig the ground? Don't hurt their feet with the hoe!

Educated youths are happier when they know what they want to do. They don’t have to work hard and just do some easy chores. That’s not beautiful! They don’t know that people actually despise their educated youths, and they also look at Chang Gui.

His eyes became closer.

The party secretary is a good person! He takes good care of his students!

Jiang Biyun and the other three girls went to help pull weeds, pack farm tools, and do some light work, while the boys went to fetch water, transport water, pull carts and other laborious chores.

Zhong Yuemin, Li Yu and Zheng Tong were assigned a good job. They went to the team's sheepfold to pick up the soaked sheep dung and transport it to the fields.

It's not a tiring job, but it's just a bit smelly.

Li Yu was born in a rural area. After graduation, he worked for several years before buying a house in the city with the support of his parents. After his parents passed away in a car accident last year, the old house in his hometown in the countryside was still there. For such a rural boy, farm work is certainly handy.

, I worked a lot when I was in school. I caught up with the spring plowing during the Labor Day holiday, and went home to harvest corn during the National Day...

But why work when you can be lazy? There is no team leader to supervise! With two taels of bacon each, Zhong Yuemin and Zheng Tong let Li Yu take charge of the command.
