Seeing this sentence means that the purchase ratio is not enough. After saying goodbye to the good man Li Dashui, Ruihe returned to his home. When he entered, he saw his old sister-in-law working on the stove. He quickly said hello: "Sister-in-law." The sister-in-law hummed and stirred the pot indifferently. It smelled like sweet potato porridge again. I dug sweet potatoes a few days ago, and my family received three big bags. He weighed one bag weighing fifty or sixty pounds, so my 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 swept the floor. After a while, Brother Zhang called him: "Come in and eat!"

"Come on!"

Slippery——

At the dinner table, Rui He looked up at the opposite side. Zhang Xiaoshan's eldest brother Zhang Dashan was drinking porridge while his sister-in-law was nibbling steamed red sweet potatoes. He walked around the two people's rice bowls, lowered his eyes and continued to drink porridge. There was also a small bamboo strip on the table with four freshly steamed sweet potatoes on it, 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 felt that all the water in his stomach was sloshing around.

He didn't eat enough.

But he didn't dare to say anything yet. He didn't have Zhang Xiaoshan's memory and didn't know what the situation at home was like. The original person is young, he must be sixteen or seventeen years old, right? The original eldest brother, Zhang Dashan, looks like he is in his early twenties. He has strong muscles and is very capable at work. Moreover, he did not see any elderly people at home. Then the eldest brother is the head of the family and has to support the family! The eldest brother eats better than him. It is normal for the sweet potato porridge that the sister-in-law serves to the eldest brother to be thicker. This was also the case in his previous home. Good things should be given to dad first, so that he has the strength to work.

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

The rice transplanting was extremely busy. At 4:30 in the morning, Zhang Tiansheng, the captain of the No. 11 Production Team of Meicun, beat the gong and called out everyone. He was lazy on weekdays, but for the sake of his fellow villagers, Zhang Tiansheng didn't care. Anyway, the work points were recorded and he didn't do enough. There is no full work credit. Not now! The eleven production teams of Shangmei Village are now competing vigorously! If you really end up in last place, you will be so embarrassed! Therefore, we must race against time now, and no laziness is allowed. Therefore, at 1:30 in the afternoon, when the sun is at its strongest, the gong rings early.

"I'll tell you the truth! 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, people from the team will go to the meeting and criticize our team. , Are you ashamed? Are you ashamed? Take it seriously! Let me see who is slacking. Not only will I not record your work points, I will also write them down and report them to the commune meeting! Once..."

Every time Ruihe listened to the captain's lecture, he felt a little nervous. He was so anxious that he was afraid of being criticized! His father had taught him before that it didn't matter if he wasn't smart, but he had to be diligent. Diligence can make up for his weakness! You should listen more to smart and wise people and realize your own shortcomings and so on. In his opinion, the captain said it very well! Hard work can never be wrong. He must work hard to earn work points and food to support himself.

The pressure of hunger and survival made Ruihe suppress his longing for his sister and fear of this strange place, and worked hard in silence. He was fortunate that everyone around him was busy. By the final stage of transplanting, even the talkative Li Dashui was too tired to speak much. No one had the time or energy to pay attention to him. During this busy season, he carefully integrated into the environment. By the time the farming was over, he had learned the local dialect and found out more information about his original identity.

After the rice transplanting, the production team organized a celebration meeting. On a summer night, they made a big circle around the grain drying field. The captains of each production team came out to perform. Ruihe listened to the captains singing with wide eyes and felt weird. It sounds good, and the lyrics are pretty good, even he can understand it. It seems to be praising a particularly great person and a particularly great party, who brought everyone's good days. As Ruihe listened, pride surged in his heart. In the light of the fire, he looked at the smiling faces and the haystacks in the distance, and felt that this place was so nice that he almost wanted to cry.

Here, as long as you work hard, you will be rewarded with work points and food to eat, so much more. Rui He has never read a book and can only use the word "good" to describe it. He sincerely thinks that this place is good. Secretly, he is still thinking that it would be great if his sister was here too. No one would beat them here. They are brother and sister. They are all used to working, and they will 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 field.

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

Rui He's eyes widened and his mouth grew unconsciously. Li Dashui bumped his shoulder and asked mischievously: "Aren't you pretty?"

"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 passionate and full of emotion, and Ruihe's eyes were almost shining. It turned out that the educated youth were such educated people. He had heard Li Dashui say before that the educated youth came from the "city". From the city to the countryside, the difference was obvious. Ruihe was still thinking privately before: What mistakes did these young educated youth make? Why are they so similar to the exiles in the opera? Now that he saw that these educated youth were so good at reciting poems and their temperament was different from others, he thought that his original guess must be wrong.

It was the first time he heard such a grand word and the first time he heard such a tone of speech, which was completely different from the local dialect he had just learned. It seemed that these female educated youth suddenly became unattainable.

"You're staring straight at me, aren't you?"

Faced with Li Dashui's teasing, Ruihe felt a little embarrassed, so he lowered his head and touched his nose with the back of his hand, and whispered: "They read it so beautifully, did they write it?"

"Of course not, this is written by the old chairman, it's very famous!"

"Oh." Although it wasn't written by a female educated youth, Ruihe still felt that these educated youth were amazing.

"Don't be tempted by Lu Peiyin again. It's busy farming these days. Haven't you seen many men around her, helping her with some things, and she doesn't have to work too hard. She's too popular. If you continue to pursue her, it will be difficult. It's better to find another one. In fact, the girls in our village are pretty good..."

"Don't say it, I know everything. I'm still young, so I won't say it for now. Brother Dashui, don't mention it again in the future."

The party soon ended, and it was considered "eight o'clock" according to the time here. Ruihe lay on the bed and heard his stomach growling again. But he had long been accustomed to being hungry, and didn't take it seriously. He skillfully slowed down his breathing and thought about other things to divert his attention.

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

A straight back, poems that he couldn't understand but felt very beautiful, this is a scholar. Ruihe was very envious in his heart. He had never read a book, but he always had a sense of awe and yearning for reading. It's great. He turned over again and slowly fell asleep. In the dream, he was sitting in the school, with a white fragrant book on the table. Looking to the left, his sister Ruizhu was smiling at him, revealing her missing front teeth.

It's great.

When he woke up the next day, Ruihe still felt a little beautiful 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, and tears dripped into the soil. He wiped his eyes vigorously, lowered his head and hugged his knees.

It was not until the gong sounded outside that he raised his head and pursed his lips to go to the yard to fetch water to wash his face. The towel was made from old clothes, and it was so tattered that you couldn't see the original color. He seemed to have put his face on the floor, rubbed it hard a few times, and then hurried to the outside to gather.

Ruihe didn't have much time to think about his busy life. What he had to do now was to do the work assigned by the captain and earn enough work points so that he could get more food when the autumn harvest came.

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

Xu Caiheng walked into the door holding the bride's hand, personally led the bride to the room and let her sit down, and then the bride's family also delivered the dowry and decorated the house.

When the bride's relatives were seated, the banquet began.

Everyone at the table ate and chatted while eating, saying that the wedding was decent, that Zhang Sheng got a good son-in-law, that the dishes were good, and that the host family was willing to spend money, etc.

The dishes were indeed rich, with six dishes on the table, two of which were meat dishes, namely tofu and minced meat soup and a steamed crucian carp, and two other sweet dishes, namely a combination of sweet potatoes and taro, and a sweet soup of ginkgo, lotus seeds and Euryale. The remaining dishes were stir-fried potatoes and stir-fried cabbage. Each dish was served in a large bowl, and the quantity was sufficient.

Ruihe suddenly remembered that Xu Caiheng always looked tired in the second half of this year. At that time, he thought it was because of the busy school affairs. Now he thought that he should be tired from preparing for the wedding like Brother Mingyong.

There were five tables in total. In addition to the educated youth and school colleagues and Ruihe on the man's side, the others were all relatives of the woman. Ruihe ate and listened, and heard that none of Xu Caiheng's relatives in the city came, and everyone had many guesses.

The banquet was over quickly. Some people took their bowls from home and some dishes back home. The bowls on the table were all empty. Ruihe said goodbye to Xu Caiheng and wished him a happy wedding. Xu Caiheng hurriedly gave him a bag of wedding candy as a gift: "Take it home and eat it slowly."

When he returned home, he found something wrong. Looking left and right, Ruihe found that the quilt was a little messy. Turning around, he saw that the bamboo products piled in the corner were not the same as before. He was a person who liked to clean, so he kept the small room in order. Although the room was small, the things were not messy. He knew the placement of everything. He looked around and found that someone had entered his house!

"Is there a thief in the house?" When Ruihe thought of the possibility of a thief in the house, his first reaction was to check his property.

He had a lot of savings. This year, he went to the rural credit cooperative in the city to deposit money three times. But it was too far away. It took a day to go back and forth, so he had not deposited the next four months' salary. He planned to deposit it again after the New Year before starting work.

Now there is more than 150 yuan hidden in the house, which Ruihe hid under the bed. He quickly lifted the mattress and straw mat and found that the money under the bed had disappeared. At that moment, Ruihe's heart was gripped by intense fear and anger. Anger, fear and regret kept surging up, making his eyes misty.

Suddenly he turned around and looked in the other direction of the room——

His deposit slip contains a deposit slip of three hundred yuan.

It doesn’t matter who takes the deposit slip, as long as the person who goes to withdraw money says that he is the depositor written on the deposit slip, the staff will give the money, and they will not recognize the person who acknowledges the slip.

His heart was beating faster. Ruihe almost ran and jumped to the wardrobe. The wardrobe was just made during his spare time in the middle of the year. It used materials from the bamboo factory. The manager turned a blind eye to these things. , as long as you don't secretly steal the materials and sell them, but just make small items for yourself, he won't tell you anything. So in the middle of the year, Ruihe learned to make himself a wardrobe, which looked decent.

The closet door was ajar, and the clothes inside were a little messy. Rui He didn't care. He took a deep breath and took out all the clothes. After a few flips, he pulled out a partition in the middle of the cabinet. The partitions are also made of bamboo sheets. Ruihe braided them into two layers for firmness, and sandwiched thin wooden strips in the middle for support. It still feels very thin to the touch. Rui He had calmed down a lot by this time. He didn't believe that the thief could dismantle the wardrobe or the partition - and he even dismantled this inconspicuous partition alone.

He carefully removed the partition and inserted an oil paper packet inside. After opening it, there were three deposit slips.

"It's okay...it's okay..." Rui He collapsed on the ground, unable to recover for a while. If these deposit slips were also stolen, he really felt like the sky was falling.

But he still lost one hundred and fifty dollars.

One hundred and fifty dollars.

I lived frugally and worked from morning to night. My clothes were soaked with sweat. My palms and fingers were scratched and I didn’t have time to heal them. The thick calluses pricked my face when I washed my face. A month's salary is just over forty yuan, and it takes more than three months to save without eating or drinking.

It's gone.

One-third of the savings from studying were missing.

Rui He's eyes went dark for a while. System 460 saw this and quickly woke him up: "The host is excited first, call the police immediately." After saying this, he was also stunned. Rui He jumped up and said, "Yes, I'm going to call the police!"

As a result, he rushed to the gate and stopped suddenly. Call the police? Where to call the police?

Gritting his teeth, he rushed to the next door and knocked on it: "Brother and sister-in-law, come in from my house -" The door next door was locked with an iron lock, indicating that the owner was not there.

So Ruihe rushed to Li Dashui's house. The men of the Li family had all gone to work in the family's private plot, and only the women were at home. Aunt Xiu'e raised her eyebrows when she heard this: "Shangmei Village has never had anything like this happen to us. Who is doing this sneaky thing!" She pulled Ruihe up and said, "I'll take you to the captain! I'll definitely give it to you. Please give me an explanation!”

Oh my God! A total of one hundred and fifty yuan was lost, my God! Qian Xiu'e, who was not her own, felt so heartbroken that she almost fainted.

Zhang Tiansheng happened to be at home, and his eyes changed after hearing Ruihe's words: "One hundred and fifty yuan?" Deruihe nodded with red eyes, and he stood up immediately. This is too bad, this is a big amount!

"Are the door locks broken? Where are the windows?"

Rui He shook his head: "I don't know. The door lock should not be broken. I used the key to unlock it when I came back. The window... I didn't have time to look at it."

Zhang Tiansheng understood that Xiaoshan was still young and had no time to react when he first discovered that his home had been robbed. He asked Rui He to relax: "I'm going to go out to check now, so you can relax first!" After that, he strode out.

Zhang Tiansheng reported the matter to the Shangmeicun Production Brigade, and the captain Zhang Aiguo asked several production team captains to investigate together. The nature of the burglary during the Chinese New Year was too serious. It was not a petty theft but only 150 yuan. Zhang Aiguo took it very seriously and asked the team leaders: "Ask the people in the old house, especially around Xiaoshan's house, to see if there are any." I saw an outsider passing by Xiaoshan’s house. He said he was having a wedding reception at Xiaogangjiao at noon, and the door lock was not broken. Maybe an acquaintance committed the crime. Let’s ask!”

Soon a gong sounded outside, and the villagers were called together for questioning.

After hearing the news, Li Dashui came back from his own land to accompany Rui He. He knew Rui He's plan for next year, so he was very angry that a thief came to steal the money: "That's disgusting! He just happened to steal it when you were going out to have a wedding banquet. It must have been planned! Don’t be sad, we will definitely catch the thief!”

Rui He nodded lightly: "I hope so." He didn't have high expectations for the thief he found.

"Oh, it's unlucky. It just so happens that your brother is not at home. Otherwise, the thief wouldn't have broken in through the window. It would be great if they were at home. They would definitely hear the noise."

Saying this now only adds to his worries, Ruihe is still quite angry with himself.

The reason why the family has not saved the 150 yuan is because the rural credit cooperative is too far away. It takes less than two hours to walk to the city. The bamboo factory does not have fixed holidays. When free, it may be Saturday. Or take a day off on Sunday, which he usually doesn't have time to go to. Second, it was difficult to dismantle the cabinet frequently, which was troublesome and laborious, so he put the money under the bed board in order to save trouble.

If you were not lazy, you would have deposited your money in a credit union early! Even if you ask for leave, just go.

Why be lazy! Why be lazy!

Regret nearly overwhelmed him.

Li Dashui saw that his face was not good, so he hugged his shoulders and comforted him silently.

At night, Zhang Tiansheng came to Ruihe's house and sighed as soon as he entered the door: "The thief broke in through the window. People near your house said that they didn't see anyone climbing the window with strange behavior. As the New Year approaches, there are more people from other villages coming in and out. I have asked all the people from other villages who have been close to the old house, and there are witnesses to prove that they did not approach your house. Alas!" After saying that, Zhang Tiansheng sighed heavily and looked at Ruihe: "Xiaoshan, I can't do anything. Fortunately, you are young and can continue to earn money even if you lose it. This time is a lesson. In the future, you must hide your money well, preferably in a credit union."

Although he had guessed that this would be the result, Ruihe was still very disappointed. He forced himself to thank Zhang Tiansheng and grabbed a bag of brown sugar cakes used at home for the New Year and gave it to Zhang Tiansheng: "Give it to my younger brothers and sisters." Thank him for his hard work today.

How could Zhang Tiansheng be willing to take his things? After refusing with a fierce face, he sighed: "I'll be relieved if you work hard. Xiaoshan, life is like this. Sometimes there are always some bastards who come to mess things up. Don't be discouraged. I also heard that you work in a bamboo factory. That's good. As long as you are healthy, you can earn everything back."

Sending Zhang Tiansheng away, Ruihe forced a smile and said to Li Dashui: "You should go back too. It's late."

Li Dashui shook his head: "I told my mother that I will sleep at your place tonight. It's almost nine o'clock. Let's go to bed. I'll take you fishing tomorrow!"

"Okay." Ruihe sighed again.

"Don't sigh!" Li Dashui pulled him, "Go to sleep!" and went to make the bed.

The bed was still messy. Ruihe turned up all the bedding when he checked the money under the bed board in the afternoon. Li Dashui made the bed and put down the mosquito net. "I'll sleep outside and you'll sleep inside. Why do you have such long hair? Xiaoshan, do you have a girlfriend?" He smiled slyly. "Is she staying over at your house?"

"Good!"

"Congratulations!"

Xu Caiheng walked into the house holding the bride's hand and personally led her to the room for her to sit down. Then the bride's family also delivered the dowry and decorated the room.

After the bride's relatives were seated, the banquet began.

Everyone chatted while eating and drinking at the table. They all said that the wedding was decent, that Zhang Sheng had a good son-in-law, that the dishes were good, and that the host was willing to spend money, etc.

The dishes were indeed rich, with six dishes on the table, two of which were meat dishes, namely tofu and minced meat soup and a steamed crucian carp, and two other sweet dishes, namely the combination of sweet potato and taro, and a sweet soup of ginkgo, lotus seeds and Euryale. The remaining dishes were stir-fried potatoes and stir-fried cabbage. Each dish was served in a large bowl, and the quantity was sufficient.

Ruihe suddenly remembered that Xu Caiheng always looked tired in the second half of this year. At that time, he thought it was because of the busy school affairs. Now he thought that he should be like Brother Mingyong, tired from preparing for the wedding.

There were five tables in total. Except for the educated youth and school colleagues and Ruihe, the others on the man's side were all relatives of the woman. Ruihe ate and listened, and heard that none of Xu Caiheng's relatives in the city came, and everyone had many guesses.

The banquet was quickly finished. Some people brought bowls from home and some dishes back. The bowls on the table were all empty. Ruihe said goodbye to Xu Caiheng and wished him a happy wedding. Xu Caiheng hurriedly gave him a bag of wedding candy in return: "Take it back and eat it slowly."
