Winner in life

Seeing this sentence means that the purchase ratio is not enough. The two shook their wet hands and went home. Li Dashui asked on the way: "Why don't you like to talk anymore? I haven't heard you say more in the past two days. You speak one word at a time. Is your throat uncomfortable?" "Yeah, throat, uncomfortable." Ruihe carefully peeked at Li Dashui. Seeing that Li Dashui did not doubt, but looked at him worriedly, he couldn't help but smile, and sighed in his heart again that this was really a simple and good person. After saying goodbye to the good man Li Dashui, Ruihe returned to his own home. When he entered the door, he saw the original sister-in-law busy at the stove. He hurriedly greeted: "Sister-in-law." The sister-in-law hummed and stirred the pot coldly. It smelled sweet potato porridge again. A few days ago, they dug sweet potatoes and their family was divided into three large bags. He weighed a bag of fifty or sixty kilograms, so the family has been eating sweet potatoes these days.

Seeing that he couldn't have lunch yet, he picked up the broom at the door and continued sweeping the floor. After a while, Brother Zhang called him, "Come in and eat!"

"Come on!"

Slurp--

At the dinner table, Ruihe looked up at the opposite side. Zhang Xiaoshan's elder brother Zhang Dashan was drinking porridge in big mouthfuls, and his sister-in-law was chewing steamed sweet potatoes. He slid around their bowls, lowered his eyes and continued to drink porridge. There was also a small bamboo strip on the table, on which there were four freshly steamed sweet potatoes, but he didn't dare to take one more, otherwise his sister-in-law would glare at him. This was the experience he had gained in the past few days.

After washing the dishes and returning to his room, Ruihe touched his stomach and always felt that it was full of water.

He was not full.

But he didn't dare to say much. He didn't have Zhang Xiaoshan's memory and didn't know what the situation at home was like. The original body was young, and he looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old? The original body's elder brother Zhang Dashan looked to be in his early twenties, with strong muscles, and he was very good at work. Moreover, he didn't see any elderly people at home. The eldest brother is the head of the family and has to support the family! The eldest brother eats better than him, and it is normal that the sweet potato porridge that his sister-in-law serves to the eldest brother is thicker. It was the same in his previous family. The good things should be given to the father first, so that the father has the strength to work.

Ruihe licked his lips and slowly fell asleep. Just as he fell asleep, the gong sounded again, and the afternoon work began again.

The rice planting was extremely busy. At 4:30 in the morning, Zhang Tiansheng, the leader of the 11th production team of Shangmei Village, rang the gong to wake everyone up. Zhang Tiansheng didn't care about being lazy on weekdays for the sake of the same village. Anyway, the work points were recorded, and if they didn't do enough, they wouldn't get full work points. Now it's not possible! The eleven production teams in Shangmei Village are now competing with all their strength! If they really fall to the last place, it would be so embarrassing! Therefore, they must race against time now, and any laziness is not allowed. Therefore, at 1:30 in the afternoon, when the sun is the highest, the gong sounded in advance.

"I'll be frank! The commune will hold a summary meeting after the rice planting. Our performance will be seen by the production team. If we don't perform well, the team members will go to the meeting and criticize our team. Are you ashamed? Are you ashamed? Be serious! I'll see who is lazy. Not only will I not record the work points, I will also record them and report them! Let your names be heard at the commune meeting..."

Every time Ruihe heard the captain's speech, he became more nervous. He was so anxious that he was afraid of being criticized! His father taught him that it doesn't matter if you are not smart, but you must be diligent, and diligence can make up for your shortcomings! You should listen to the words of smart and wise people, and recognize your own shortcomings from them. In his opinion, the captain said it very well! Hard work is never wrong. He must work hard to earn work points and earn food to feed himself.

The pressure of hunger and survival made Ruihe suppress his longing for his sister and his fear of this strange place, and he worked hard in silence. He was thankful that everyone around him was busy. By the final stage of transplanting rice, even the talkative Li Dashui was so tired that he spoke less. No one had the time and energy to pay attention to him. He carefully integrated into the environment during this busy season. By the end of farming, he had learned the local dialect and found out more about his original body.

After transplanting rice, the production team organized a celebration meeting. On a summer night, they formed a big circle around the threshing ground. The team leaders of each production team came out to perform. Ruihe listened to the team leaders singing with wide eyes. It was quite nice. The lyrics were also good. Even he could understand them. It seemed that they were praising a particularly great person and a particularly great party. Everyone's good days were brought by them. Ruihe listened and a sense of pride surged in his heart.

In the light of the fire, he looked at those smiling faces and the haystacks in the distance. He felt that this place was so good that he wanted to cry.

Here, as long as you work hard, you will get work points and food. It's so good. Ruihe had never been to school, so he could only describe it with the word "good". He sincerely thought that this place was good, and secretly thought that it would be great if his sister was here too. No one would beat them here, and they were used to doing work, so they would definitely live a good life.

But he didn't know where this place was, let alone where to find his sister. After being disappointed for a while, Ruihe was attracted by the new program on the stage.

"Come on, let's invite the educated youth from Shangmei Village to perform a program, poetry recitation!"

Ruihe opened his eyes wide, and his mouth opened unconsciously. Li Dashui bumped his shoulder and asked slyly, "Isn't it beautiful?"

"Yeah!" He nodded heavily, his eyes full of appreciation and yearning for beautiful things. I saw five young girls standing up in the crowd. Their hair was neatly combed and their fair faces were exposed. Although they were wearing ordinary trousers and shirts, they stood in a row with their heads held high and their chests high. They were indescribably youthful and beautiful. Lu Peiyin was also inside, standing in the middle, and she spoke: "Qinyuanchun, Changsha."

The four female educated youths around me read together: "In the cold autumn of independence, go north to the Xiangjiang River, to the head of Orange Island."

The tone was so passionate and emotional that Ruihe's eyes almost glowed. It turns out that educated youth are such literate people. He had heard Li Dashui say before that the educated youth came from "the city", and when they came from the city to the countryside, there was a huge difference between heaven and earth. Before that, Ruihe was still thinking in private: Did these young educated youths make any mistakes? Why is it so similar to the exile in the play? Now that he saw that these educated youths were so good at reading poetry, and their temperament was different from others, he thought that his original guess must be wrong.

It was the first time he heard such grand words and the first time he heard such a tone of voice. It was completely different from the local dialect he had just learned. It seemed that these female educated youths suddenly became unattainable.

"Are you looking straight?"

Faced with Li Dashui's teasing, Ruihe felt a little embarrassed, so he lowered his head and touched the tip of his nose with the back of his hand, and asked in a low voice: "What they read is really nice. Did they write it?"

"It's definitely not the case. This was written by the old chairman, and it's already famous!"

"Oh." Although it was not written by a female educated youth, Rui He still felt that these educated youths were amazing.

"Don't be tempted by Lu Peiyin anymore. You haven't seen many men around her during the busy farming period, helping with this and that, so she doesn't have to work too hard. She's so popular, if you It will definitely be difficult if you continue to chase her, so it’s better to find another one. In fact, the girls in our village are pretty good..."

"Stop talking, I know it all. I'm still young and won't say it for now. Brother Dashui, don't mention it again in the future."

The party ended soon, and it was "eight o'clock" based on the time here. Ruihe lay on the bed and heard his stomach growling again. However, he had long been accustomed to being hungry, so he didn't take it seriously. He skillfully slowed down his breathing and diverted his attention by thinking of other things.

He was still at the party tonight, and the scene of those educated youth standing there lingered in his mind. "It's so beautiful." He whispered.

With a straight back and a poem that cannot be understood but feels very beautiful, this is what a scholar is. Rui He was extremely envious. He had never read a book, but he always had a sense of awe and yearning for reading. How nice. He turned over again and slowly fell asleep. In the dream, he was sitting in the school, with white and fragrant books on the table. Looking to the left, his sister Ruizhu was smiling at him, showing her missing front teeth.

very nice.

When he woke up the next day, Ruihe still had some beauty in his heart. He felt that such a beautiful dream made him happier than filling his stomach. He hoped to have such a dream every day.

He lowered his head to put on his shoes, tears dripping into the soil. He wiped his eyes vigorously, lowered his head and hugged his knees.

It wasn't until the gong sounded outside that he raised his head and pursed his lips and went to the yard to fetch water to wash his face. The towel was made from old clothes. It was so tattered that the original color could not be seen. He seemed to have hit his face to the floor, fiercely They wiped the floor a few times and then quickly hurried outside to gather.

The busy life leaves Ruihe with no time to think. What he has to do now is to do the job assigned by the captain.

, earn enough work points, and then you can get more food during the autumn harvest.

He was very hungry and wanted to have a full meal.

The backlight of the alley here was a little dim, and Ruihe saw a few bright colors peeking out of the open bags on the ground.

A young man squatted on the ground and greeted the guests: "They are all from Shanghai. I bought them myself. They are genuine goods at reasonable prices. You can touch the materials and look at the styles. They are all the most popular in Shanghai now..." The first time I saw two young guys came, the man quickly said: "I also have men's ones here. Look at this woolen coat. It looks decent and warm."

Rui He squatted down and touched it. The material was indeed good, it felt smooth, and it was quite thick when he pinched it. The style of the jacket is the most fashionable military uniform nowadays, but the color is dark blue. It has large lapels and pockets. It is straight and looks particularly energetic. Ruihe believes this person, such clothes must look decent.

"How much?"

"Thirty-four dollars."

"So expensive?"

"It's not expensive! I bought it at the Shanghai Department Store for 30 yuan originally. I have to earn some travel expenses and hard-earned money to transport it here, right? If you go to Shanghai to buy it yourself, it will cost almost 50 yuan including the round-trip ticket. !”

After hearing this, Li Dashui looked at Ruihe. Ruihe turned over his coat and looked at it several times. He really liked it. This coat looks too big for him, but he is still growing taller, and he will be able to wear it for several years when he gets older.

Seeing Ruihe's intention, Li Dashui pulled Ruihe and said, "If you really want to buy it, can we haggle over the price?"

Ruihe nodded and looked at the seller: "Can it be cheaper?"

"It's already very cheap! Look at the material. It's a fine woolen fabric that won't break down after being worn for ten years. And I don't want a ticket! It's definitely new clothes. You can see the brand is still hanging. Such good clothes. Even if you have money, you can’t buy it in a department store!”

Ruihe wanted to buy it, so Li Dashui joined in to help him bargain. The three of them lowered their voices and bargained with each other. In the end, Ruihe bought the woolen coat for 32.5 yuan. However, he didn't have so much money. Just as he discussed with the seller that he would wait for him to go home to get the money, the girl who was keeping watch at the alley came running back and whispered, "The city manager from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau is here!"
