Chapter 4

After two meals, Zheng Jianguo couldn't see the slightest trace from the faces of Zheng Fugui and Du Xiaomei. Only when he had more dinner at 4:00 p.m., his father took two dens and put them in front of him: "eat more in the evening, so as to fight hunger -"

In the era of shortage of materials, members only eat two meals a day, at 9:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. in other times, they get up at 4:00 a.m. and start with hot water and soup. They work until 9:00 a.m. and then eat until 4:30 p.m. and then work until 7:00 p.m, Put the team to sleep.

According to the standard in Zheng Jianguo's memory, the conditions of the Zheng family can be classified as poor households. Although all six people in the family except him have been able to earn work points, they can't stand that the four sisters and mother Du Xiaomei are women. The daily work points should be distinguished according to the number of workers and labor force. Men have a bottom score of ten, women have six points and children have two points.

Five women can't get the work points of four men. As a barefoot doctor, they don't have money to pay for the visit. The scorer records them according to the work points. They only receive one or three points when they use the medicine. In addition, Zheng Fugui always takes the money and records it if they don't give it. Sometimes he even pays out of his own pocket to make up for the money to buy the medicine. The family of six has a tight childhood.

That is, Guanxi commune belongs to the red flag commune of Shanxian County. Each brigade has a lot of sidelines. For sanlibao brigade, there are farms, processing plants and even a machine repair plant. There are hundreds or dozens of pigs in the farm alone. If you dig out the task of one pig per household every year, you can save more than a dozen pigs for a fat year.

Not to mention the brigade in the backward areas, even in Shanxian County, it can be regarded as the middle and upper level. Naturally, such a brigade hung a number in the heart of secretary Qu of the commune, so after hearing that Guo binghe was going to give educated youth and members a holiday, he went there in person.

When the people are scattered, the team can't take it.

Zheng Jianguo was awakened by Zheng Fugui. There was no alarm clock in the dark. He rubbed his eyelids and was stunned. Then he saw his father in the night: "what time is it?"

"Doodle doodle -"

When the harsh wake-up call came, Zheng Jianguo's confusion disappeared completely. He quickly understood that the snow had stopped outside. According to the instructions of secretary Qu during the day, the members should gather at the brigade department to prepare for work, and then contact the information. Now it should be less than two o'clock: "are you going to work?"

"Well, we're going to work."

As a barefoot doctor, Zheng Fugui is naturally one of countless members. He can go to the clinic in his spare time and has to go to work in his busy time. However, this is not the reason why he woke Zheng Jianguo: "I thought, since you said you were going to stop studying, you might as well go to work with us from now on?"

"This is -- experienced in advance?"

Facing Zheng Fugui's face hidden in the night, Zheng Jianguo flashed such an idea in his mind. It seemed that his father and mother planned to use this to be a bully, let him go to school honestly after eating some hardship, blinked immediately and said, "go to Yanghe Reservoir?"

"Well, Yanghe Reservoir is the one twenty miles away. After we gather at the brigade headquarters, we still need to go to eat according to the urgent March, and then work."

As if to express the hardships of going to work, Zheng Fugui explained the way to go, and especially stressed that you can't eat now. You have to wait until the ground to have dinner, and work hard while it's hot: "are you going?"

"OK, I'll go!"

When Zheng Jianguo finished, he turned over and got out of the quilt, picked up his clothes and began to put them on his body. Zheng Fugui, standing next to him in the dark, couldn't help being silly. Obviously, he didn't understand that his son, who was afraid of cold these days, didn't even say it. At this moment, he directly began to put on clothes and prepare to go to work. But when he had finished his previous words, he thought of it and said, "or --"

"Let him go! If you dare say you're tired, hit him. "

The voice of Du Xiaomei's hatred came. Zheng Fugui swallowed the words behind him, turned around and hung his head. As soon as he lifted the curtain, he saw a pair of dark big eyes looking at him, his chin raised behind him, and then his eyes stared again. It seemed that Zheng Fugui, who had received the code, turned his head and looked. He saw that Zheng Jianguo had finished wearing clothes and was putting cotton shoes on his feet, He could not help but turn around and shook his head again, with a depressed look on his face: "get ready to go! If you don't go again, you should call the roll - "

"Then watch him."

Du Xiaomei gasped twice, watched Zheng Fugui finish, and stuffed the burden next to her into his hand: "I've prepared more dens for you two, and you let him eat more."

"This smelly boy! No good or bad! "

Muttering and scolding, Zheng Fugui carried the burden on his shoulder. Before turning his head, he saw Zheng Jianguo coming out from behind the curtain: "Dad, let's go?"

"Go, go now. Go and drink the hot tea."

When he looked at the goods, his nose was not his nose, and his eyes were not his eyes. He threw a face to Zheng Jianguo. Zheng Fugui turned to the door and continued: "hurry up, it's time to call the roll with a loud horn."

Tons of dried a bowl of hot tea into his stomach. Zheng Jianguo wiped his mouth and wrapped it around his neck. But as Zheng Fugui opened the door, the cold wind still made him shiver. He saw the pale moon shining on the thick snow and looking brighter than the kerosene lamp in the house.

Crunching his foot on the snow, Zheng Fugui turned his head and looked at the open door next to him. Zheng Chunhua came out with her three sisters. Seeing that her back was empty, he opened his mouth and said, "go and take the medicine box and let her carry it."

"Dad, it's freezing in the sky, but..."

Zheng Chunhua didn't know what the two men were doing. Except when the summer harvest and autumn were busy, she had never seen her little brother get up so early. She didn't want to know what she was thinking. Zheng Jianguo said, "elder sister, go and take it. I'll carry it on my back. Seeing that it's about to graduate, it's a state of joining the members in advance, so as to reduce the burden for the family. Dagazi can earn ten points."

"The family is short of your work?"

Du Xiaomei blurted out and said, then looked at Zheng Fugui and turned to go out. Zheng Xiahua looked at this posture and pushed Zheng Chunhua gently. The latter hurriedly turned into the kitchen, carried the medicine box to Zheng Jianguo's side, lifted the shoulder to him and carried it on his back. A pair of big eyes stared at him and said, "you make our mother angry?"

"Yes."

Zheng Jianguo echoed. He felt that the medicine box on his body was not heavy. Zheng Fugui looked at him with the medicine box on his back. He looked like a model. He immediately said, "let's go. When I get to the brigade department, I'll see whether to let Chunhua stay or Guli stay."

"I should stay. Guli wants to make progress now. Isn't Secretary Qu saying he'll come too?"

Zheng Chunhua didn't know what was going on between the father and son, but my mother's tone was extremely bad, so she deliberately opened her mouth and turned off the topic: "I heard she wanted to report to the medical staff recruited by the mining bureau this time."

"Guli seems to be just a high school student?"

Zheng Jianguo blinked and asked. He naturally understood the meaning of this question. Yesterday, he told his father that he didn't want to go to health school after graduating from high school, but to find a chance to take the exam. Now the eldest sister seems to know about this topic, so she went on: "it seems that the medical staff are medical students?"

"She has been a barefoot doctor for three years."

Zheng Chunhua looked at her father in front of her and felt a little burning. Guli liked to play with her when she came, and occasionally let a woman go if she needed diagnosis and treatment. As a result, after playing for three years, she became a barefoot doctor, so sanlibao brigade jumped to become the largest group of barefoot doctors in the commune. Zheng Fugui, she and Guli, It's still obvious. Fortunately, the barefoot doctor also wants to take work points, so she didn't attract more gossip. However, it's unrealistic to see that she has trained an opponent for herself. It's unrealistic to say that she doesn't have a pimple in her heart.

"Well, let the commune issue a certificate at that time. It's even a bonus, and it's still a woman -"

When I went out of the house and looked at the distant figure, I was nodding and talking with Du Xiaomei and Zheng Jianguo of Zheng Fugui. Then I suddenly remembered that there was no gynecological disease at the moment, that is, the Shanxian people's Hospital in the county was divided into different departments, and the smaller Chengguan hospital was a large department, in which all departments were mixed in a large office, Of course, those who can go to the city to see a doctor now are also at a critical time.

"But how old is that Guri? He graduated from high school five years ago -- "

Du Xiaomei's voice came, and the person also stopped, looked at Zheng Chunhua who seemed to be frightened and said, "Dani, how old was Guli when she graduated from high school?"

"She's 22 this year, 17 five years ago?"

Gudong swallowed his saliva and didn't know what had happened. Zheng Chunhua said carefully and saw Du Xiaomei turn her head and look at Zheng Jianguo. "You're only 15 this year. I didn't want you to go to school so early because you were bullied by other students because you were young. Now it seems that I was right. You're only 16 at the end of this year and haven't grown up yet, You want to go to work? "

Du Xiaomei is a woman without much culture, but she also knows that she can only be regarded as a big child at the age of 15 or 16. Hearing my mother's tone, Zheng Jianguo, who was originally full of words, vented his anger. He can't explain it with words. He went to school at the age of six, studied in primary school for five years, junior middle school for two years and senior high school for two years. At the age of 15, she is about to graduate from high school, He couldn't tell his true thoughts, so he had to say, "we also study for half a day at school. There are teachers who teach us how to turn the soil, fertilize and plant the land. Instead of planting the land for the school, we'd better come back and earn work points - along with looking for opportunities to take a job examination."
