With a Door In Mind

Go back with the grass and pour water into the pot.

Thinking that it is not convenient to cook here by himself now, he brought all the flour over.

The old people in the province were thinking wildly.

"Xiaocao, take this over, let's eat together in the next few days. It will save me from having to do it."

Xiaocao looked at her grandma upon hearing this.

The other party nodded upon seeing this, "Do you want steamed buns or noodles?"

Zhou Xiaochuan hesitated for a moment, "Noodles!"

He is used to eating rice, and steamed buns are tasteless, but steamed buns are pretty good.

Seeing this, Grandma Miao nodded, "Okay, I understand."

After finishing speaking, he took the flour and turned around and entered the house.

Seeing the other party go in, he glanced at Xiaocao and asked, "Xiaocao, if I go to the team to help grind cornmeal with this food, I won't have work points, what should I do?"

Hearing this, the other party shook his head lightly. "You're going to ask Third Grandpa about this, it's not very clear."

"Oh! I'll ask when I have time."

The ground outside was still a bit muddy at this time. .

Directly opposite the dojo, downhill, there is a small vegetable garden that has been reclaimed, only about a dozen square meters.

next to the road.

There are more than a dozen corns and some beans, peppers, tomatoes and so on.

There are several green tomatoes the size of eggs on the tomatoes.

There are not many, but the variety is quite mixed.

Next time, you don’t need to feed the chicken with this face wash water, just pour it directly into the vegetables.

Come to Captain Zhao's house.

Hearing that they were looking for Zhao Baoshan, Aunt Zhao pointed to the west.

"Oh, he's not here, let's go and see how the cave dug for you is doing.

"

Hearing the words, Zhou Xiaochuan let out a soft voice, thanked him, and walked over there.

In fact, it is the direction of the well.

He should know where it is.

When I was walking around yesterday, I saw a few half-dug cave dwellings in one place.

I didn't know what to do before, but now I understand that it is a new home dug for them.

really.

At the place above the well, I saw Zhao Baoshan standing at the entrance of the cave, holding a dry pipe in his hand.

The other party obviously saw him too.

It wasn't until Zhou Xiaochuan came over that he smiled and said, "Comrade young educated youth, are you here to see your new home?"

Zhou Xiaochuan smiled when he heard the words, "Oh, come and have a look."

Hearing his words, Captain Zhao nodded, and then said: "These two are the kilns prepared for you, and the one over there will be used as a school in the future."

The other party first pointed to two of the cave dwellings, and then pointed to a nearby cave dwelling.

The three cave dwellings in front of them were all dug a little bit, about one or two meters.

There are three people in the cave in the middle, holding a pickaxe inside, knocking the mud on the wall.

Two are on the side, one standing on a wooden ladder, knocking the dirt against it.

One of them was actually Zhao Sanxi.

"Brother Sanxi?" Zhou Xiaochuan called inside.

Hearing this, the other party stopped the pickaxe in his hand, looked this way, saw that it was Zhou Xiaochuan and smiled, "It's you, Comrade Educated Youth."

Probably not very familiar with it.

Zhou Xiaochuan said with a smile: "Brother Sanxi, two big brothers, thank you!"

The other two turned their heads when they heard the words, and one of them smiled, "You're welcome, we are now working. We get work points."

The other party was older than Sanxi, around thirty.

Zhou Xiaochuan smiled and did not speak.

Seeing this, Zhao Sanxi smiled at him and said, "You are chatting with Er Da, let's work first."

"Okay, then you are busy."

Zhou Xiaochuan nodded to several people.

Thinking of Captain Zhao's words just now, he smiled at Zhao Baoshan and said, "The team wants to run a primary school?"

"Yes! I have received the notice a long time ago. Isn't this always unconditional? Now that you are here, you can do it."

After speaking, he talked about the situation here.

The population in the village is not that large, so those who want to go to school in the village go to Xialin Village next door.

There is a large production team there, so there is an elementary school. As for the junior high school, there is only one junior high school on the side of the commune.

However, the Xialin brigade is said to be next door, but it is relatively far away, and it takes two or three hours to walk.

Not far from the commune.

valley

The commune is about four hours away.

Now that the school is built, teachers are definitely needed.

Compared to working in the fields, this teacher's job must be much more comfortable.

What Zhou Xiaochuan thought in his heart was that the relatively harmonious relationship between the educated youths of the few people would change because of this.

Zhao Baoshan looked at the pensive Zhou Xiaochuan and asked, "Did you have something to do with me?"

"Well, yes, Captain Zhao. I just want to ask, can I use the production team's donkey to grind my grain for me?"

Zhao Baoshan subconsciously said, "Do you still need a donkey for that little food?"

What Zhou Xiaochuan said was a little embarrassing.

For tens of catties of grain, he had to grind it completely, so forget it. Don't make it a day.

It doesn't matter when no one is around.

This is all under the eyes of others, and it is not easy to fake it.

Seeing Zhou Xiaochuan's expression, the other party knew that these city kids couldn't endure hardship, so he smiled.

"Okay, if it doesn't rain tomorrow, come to me, by the way, call other educated youths by the way. It saves you calling one by one, I guess you don't want to grind yourself."

"But let's say it first, a total of forty work points."

Hearing his words, Zhou Xiaochuan was about to ask.

Captain Zhao said: "I know you don't have work points, so you have to use food. This food is not for us, but for the donkey."

After finishing speaking, he explained.

Usually the donkey is not easy to use, and it will be a while before the autumn harvest, and the donkeys in the village are fattening.

Unless there are special circumstances, such as picking up Zhou Xiaochuan and the others, or going to the market or fetching water, donkeys are generally not used.

If you have to use it, you have to make it up.

The donkey eats seven or eight catties of feed a day.

It is enough to eat hay when not working, but if you want the donkey to work, you have to feed the donkey with grain. This is also because the donkey will lose weight and affect the autumn harvest.

There are also reasons why they stipulate this way.

If it is free, if anyone has a little grain, they will find a donkey to pull the mill, how can this work.

No one would be rich if they ate food, so whoever would give it to donkeys.

So basically I grind it at home.

Another important reason is that the frost time here is relatively long. If you don’t find something to do during the slack season, what can you do?

But every production team is different, depending on the situation.

Those larger production teams don't have so many stone mills, and they also have more donkeys.

They will grind things collectively.

For example, the next-door forestry production team, every year after the autumn harvest, the village collectively grinds things, which does not count as work points and does not require food.

There is no need for food for collective grinding of beans.

Anyway, as long as it is an activity organized by a collective, there is no need to pay a price.

To put it bluntly, the village has strength.

Zhou Xiaochuan let out a sigh of relief when he heard the words, not knowing what the price of this work point is.

But at this time, the donkey's fineness is revealed.

How many work points does a man have in a day?

10 points.

A donkey costs forty work points a day.

Hey, people are not as good as livestock.

After getting what he wanted to know, he left, and then he went to inform others.

If it doesn't rain tomorrow, I will go to the brigade to grind grain.

He ate very early in the evening, and when he came back, Grandma Miao had already prepared the meal.

The only thing on the table is a bowl of noodles in his aluminum lunch box.

And a little pickle.

And Xiaocao and Xiaocao had two vegetable buns in their hands.

After inquiring, I found out that this is dried wild vegetables and radish sprouts soaked in water added to cornmeal. steamed out.

Adult palm size.

The two began to eat with the noodle soup in which the noodles were cooked.

Xiaocao didn't look at the noodles in Zhou Xiaochuan's lunch box from the beginning to the end, probably because she was afraid that Zhou Xiaochuan might misunderstand.

Zhou Xiaochuan looked at the noodles in his lunch box, and then saw that there was nothing else to eat.

There was no mention of letting them eat noodles.

Silently eating the noodles in the bowl. Just some pickles in a bowl.

There was no oil in the pickles and tasted dry.

There is no pickle flavor with sesame oil at all.

After a meal, he left, and he had to study ideological education later.
