Chi Min has a heart to help him, but she is too hungry to speak. Although she ate two mouthfuls at Han's sister-in-law's house, it doesn't help.

Hunger is the most direct and unbearable feeling.

Chi Fengshou also wanted Wu Wenyi to ask for food rations for him, "why don't you give it to me?"

Wu Wenyi: "I'm tired to death if you go by yourself."

The bar won't move.

Others went to get worms and turn sweet potato vines, but for some reason, he was arranged to dig the ground. He felt that the hoe was 20 jin heavy and could not move. He felt that someone must have aimed at him. At that time, he was still shouting in the field, but no one paid any attention to him,

Now he has no strength to manage others.

Chi Fengshou went to find the team leader himself, but the team leader didn't wait to find him all day. He was stunned and didn't find him.

Late harvest angry: "you deliberately against me!" He couldn't find the cadre in charge, so he had to go back to the educated youth point, looking at Shen Yu and Huo Hongzhen cooking.

He was ignored.

He suddenly broke out, "I warn you, don't bully honest people, don't let me eat, you don't want to eat!"

He suddenly overturned Shen Yu's living face to the ground.

All of a sudden, everyone was numb.

For a moment, the air was so quiet that no one spoke.

Then it was as if someone had pressed the start switch, and the screams and roars burst out. Shen Yu and Huo Hongzhen went to rescue the food on the ground. Wu Wenyi, Xu Dongxing, Zhao Mingjie and others went up to beat the late harvest.

Although they were all hungry, they were inflamed by anger until the late harvest was so black and blue that they could not get up.

At the beginning of late harvest, he wanted to resist, but he had no strength, so he could only scold.

In the chaos, I don't know who kicked Chi Fengshou's mouth so hard that he couldn't make a sound again.

It's completely over.

……

At noon, the children went home and found that Chi Fengshou's luggage was no longer on the Kang. They all looked at each other and said they were very happy, but they didn't mention about Erwang's going to find the captain.

Lin Lan is making chili sauce for Dawang. She also gives them the eggbox. She is not willing to fry, but frying is OK.

There is no pork at home, but Lin Lan hoards some lard. Chop the leeks, mix with lard, add some soy sauce, then put them in the eggplant box, roll them in the batter and fry them in the pan. The soft and greasy eggplant mixed with the delicious leek, and the crisp smell of fried noodles are very attractive to children.

"Wow, how happy it is to have a eggplant box." Xiao Wang took a breath happily, "how fragrant!"

Lin Lan said with a smile: "with your help this year, the dishes in the garden are better than in previous years, better than other people. I can't finish the eggplant. "

Wheat ear took a big bowl to come over, "Niang, pick out a bowl for my father."

Lin Lan said with a smile: "no, you just eat. The eggplant box needs to be made now. In the evening, my mother will make it for my father."

Han Qingsong has lunch in the unit at noon. Since it's cool and delicious, he saves bringing it back for extra meals. He can eat whatever he wants in the unit. Although his appetite is not strong, it seems that this is not greedy that also can, Lin Lan night or change the pattern to make something delicious for him, as long as she gives him will eat, never waste, better than the child.

At dinner, the children asked about the late harvest.

Lin Lan said: "if he makes a mistake, he will be punished naturally."

The children looked at each other and nodded, "mother, I see."

After lunch, people from Shanshui farm sent materials for two carriages, saying that director Han bought them on behalf of shanzui village brigade.

Lin Lan and the children all went to have a look. Han Yongfang and the team leader also came. Seeing so many materials, they were very happy.

The captain waved, "quickly, organize several members to repair the two rooms of the brigade, and then let them sleep and cook there."

The rooms of the repair brigade have work points. Generally, the skills of the village Masons are good. Four or five people can repair them together in a few days.

Han Yongfang saw the children, always serious face rarely show a smile, waved his hand, "Erwang, come on, talk."

Erwang said hello to his elder brother, go to school later and let them go first.

"Grandfather, are you bothered these days?" Erwang said with a smile.

Han Yongfang held his own short tobacco pot in his mouth, blinked his dry old eyes, and sighed deeply from the depth of his lungs.

Erwang: "grandfather, it's nothing to be bothered with. Anyway, it's just going to work with your eyes open and go to sleep with your eyes closed." He laughed.

"It's such a thing, but it's not a taste to have a fire at the top of the brain." Han Yongfang holds the pot in his hand.

Erwang: "grandfather, actually, I think... You see, these educated youth are delicate and tender, and they are not material for physical work."

"Who won't say? If this is not forced to go to the countryside, simply to play, we can not be good at serving? But I don't know when to go back. We don't have enough food to feed them. " The food supply of our brigade is still very tight. Once we suffer from a drought or flood, we have to starve.

Han Yongfang is calculating every year.

Erwang: "grandfather, our team is too tight. You see, there's no money for two rooms. "

We still have to pay on credit. Every cent of the brigade has been used.

That's not good.

Han Yongfang is a strong man. On weekdays, the team leader listens to him and does what he says. Because of his support, we don't worry. Anyway, when the sky falls down, he is tall. So Han Yongfang doesn't have a person to discuss things. Sometimes he has extra pressure, but he doesn't like to talk to others, and he never complains. He basically suppresses himself.

But there's an ER Wang who can talk about it.

Han Yongfang mumbled a few words. He didn't feel embarrassed, but he was very happy.

Erwang: "grandfather, I have an idea. Listen to it?"

Han Yongfang: "you say."

Erwang: "then don't be angry."

Han Yongfang smiles, "you child, when is your grandfather angry with you?"

Erwang: "look, grandfather, other brigades have sidelines. Let's..."

"We have, too." Han Yongfang said: "make up seats, grind tofu."

"Grandfather, it's not this. This sideline is convenient for our own members. I mean... Communicate with the outside team. " He knows that Han Yongfang is a bit rigid. Now he is cutting the tail of capitalism. If he is allowed to engage in sideline business to make money, he will definitely not agree.

Han Yongfang is domineering and strong, and his policy is not allowed, or he understands that the policy is like this, that's it. He seldom listens to others.

And the captain and others are not as knowledgeable as him.

Moreover, the most important point is that from the mutual aid group, the junior, intermediate and senior cooperatives, to the people's commune, from the great leap forward, the steel making, the tail cutting, the big and small four Qing Dynasties, the cultural revolution, over and over again, Han Yongfang has a deep-rooted understanding that farming is useless.

Fruit trees may not look good, cut, chicken duck goose is the tail of capitalism, killed, but the crops will not, at any time, let the crops grow.

Therefore, he is never keen on making other extra money, and no one dares to suggest to him.

Now Erwang mentions this topic, he is not angry, but a little surprised, "sideline, what can we do?"

Erwang looked at his mental activity and laughed, "it's easy to do. Anything is OK. Grandfather, you see, it takes brains, knowledge and talents to engage in sideline business. Now we... Don't have a group of ready-made ones. What a waste of physical work they do. Let's do nine of them one by one. "

Han Yongfang thought, "eh, really."

Erwang: "grandfather, let's make soap first. Shen Zhiqing is very good. He knows." His mother worries about the lack of soap at home all day. She has to buy some when she has a sore meat.

Han Yongfang: "soap? We countrymen don't use it either. "

"Grandfather, no need. If you have it, you can use it? Besides, we can sell it to the city people. "

Han Yongfang: "it's very bad to cut the tail now. I went to a meeting a while ago and said, "we'd rather have socialist seedlings than capitalist grasses."

Erwang: "grandfather, soap is the grass of socialism. The seedling of capitalism has long been... High-grade soap and high-grade washing powder."

Washing powder was borrowed from Lin Lan.

Some things are not allowed in this way and that way, but if there are legitimate reasons, there is no pressure.

Han Yongfang scratched his head, "I think about it."

Erwang: "grandfather, take your time. Don't worry. Let's train these educated youth first."

If they are not trained to obey the management, even if they are engaged in sideline work, they will not listen to the command, and the number of people will be even more chaotic.

He saw that Han Yongfang was thinking, so he went to see Lin Lan to repair the house.

Han Yongfang figured it out. His mind was active and his steps were brisk.

The captain looked at him. "What's the matter? Is there a happy event

Han Yongfang: "almost."

Team leader: "then the money for buying materials is paid in advance?"

Han Yongfang glared: "is that money still serious? I owe you first Then he went away with his hands behind his back.

Team leader:

……

Besides, Dawang led his younger brothers and sisters to school. Before he got to the door, he saw Fan Xiao circling there.

"Xiao San Ge, Xiao Wang Ge, go to school." Fan Xiaoyi looks powerless.

When they saw fan smile, they laughed, "sister fan, what are you doing?"

Fan Xiao: "can we discuss something?"

Dawang and maisui come and look at her.

Fan Xiao: "in the future... Can I buy your family's food? Give me a big cake for a meal, add a chopstick dish and some pickles. I'm not picky about food. Really, I'm hardworking and plain living. One day I'll give you a kilo of rice tickets and another fifteen cents, OK? So you can save money for books and basketball. "

A few children have a look at Dawang.

Dawang: "is this speculation?"

Fan said with a smile: "how can this be speculation? It's better to save one life than to build a seven level floating butcher. "

She also said that it was a tragedy for the educated youth. Because of the late harvest, she didn't have breakfast, and the late harvest spilled on her lunch, which caused half of the disaster. The rest of the Shenyu has not been rescued. It's estimated that everyone can take two.

She's starving.

Lin Lan's road is impassable, she can only take the children's road.

Xiao Wang looked at her so pitiful and couldn't bear it. "Sister fan is so pitiful."

Fan Xiao immediately nodded his head, and his eyes were red.

Maisui: "what if other people come to buy it? Our food is not enough. "

Fan Xiao: "who dares to follow my example, I will fight with him!" Originally, it was not good for the educated youth to order food, but now they have no food to eat, and they are starving to death. She has already left the past behind. It's useless to miss the past. What's in front of her is the most urgent.

Maisui: "in fact, if you want me to tell you, don't cook by yourself. It's better to go to a family alone. I guess other people's families will be happy." If you can give money, others will be happy.

Fan Xiao: "I don't go to other people's home except to make friends with your family. They can't cook as well as your family."

The branch secretary, the team leader, and Dong Huaihua's family already have old educated youth. Other ordinary members' families eat coarse grain all year round and occasionally eat some fine grain. Some people are still not full. In the past, Huo yuan and others worked with ordinary members' families. As a result, their rations were deducted to subsidize their children. They starved the educated youth and finally had to break up. The old educated youth warned the new educated youth that they would rather cook in shifts at the educated youth's place and decide what they want, unless they work with the cadres.

Sanwang: "you don't have lard. My mother saved lard. "

Xiaowang: "because my mother has love, my mother cooks for us, but if we have love, it's delicious."

"Xiaowang brother, I also have love," Fan said with a smile and tears

Xiao Wang

The children just look at big brother and let him make up his mind.

She looked at Dawang with tears in her eyes and said, "brother Dawang, please do me a favor and have pity on me."

Fan Xiao went out and begged for the burden of children rather than adults. He was not afraid of shame and didn't have to hurt his self-esteem. Compared with starvation, self-esteem is nothing. Besides, it's shameful to intercede with such a beautiful group of children. She's very happy not to be shameful.

In particular, brother Wang is so compassionate that he has already been reluctant to take her home to dinner.

Dawang finally let go: "OK."

"Help me, benefactor!" Fan Xiao clenched his fist. "Thank you very much. I'll book it for one year first She took Xiao Wang back to get the meal ticket and money.

Dawang: "you... Don't worry. One day first, try it. " Mom and dad all say that it's too urgent to do things. We have to try first.

Although Fan Xiao was disappointed, he had to agree to pay one day's money and tickets in advance. Dawang only needed four Liang food coupons and five cents for a meal, and then said another thing for dinner.

Sanwang volunteered to go home to feed her. Anyway, there was no class yet. Several children went home together. Passing by the brigade, they saw Erwang talking to Han Yongfang. Lin Lan was watching people repair their house.

When he got home, Sanwang went to get two large pieces of Erhe Mian pancakes, and used fan Xiaoxin's lunch box to stir fried eggs with shrimps and scallions, as well as eggplant box, which filled half of the lunch box.

Fan Xiao as long as a piece of cake, "I am very hard-working and plain, a piece is enough, thank you." She said goodbye to the children, and then secretly ran to the river to eat with her lunch box, so as not to be seen by other educated youth.

The children stood at the door looking at Fan Xiao's back, unable to speak for a moment.

Xiao Wang: "he is so pitiful."

Dawang: "if we don't have parents, we will be pitiful." She still has money and food.

Xiao Wang: "well, why don't her parents want her?"

Dawang: "going to the countryside."

"Why go to the countryside?"

"Regulations."

"Who prescribed it?"

"School."

Xiao Wang: "school regulations let people go to the countryside?"

Sanwang then said, "well, my mother said that going to school is to learn knowledge for myself, not to go to the countryside. If you have knowledge, you are not afraid to go to the countryside. "

Xiao Wang: "then they... Also have knowledge. Why is that so?"

I can't comment on the work points, I can't do farm work, I have no food to eat, even my parents don't want them.

All of a sudden, the children were entangled.

Yes, educated youth from big cities have more culture than them. Why do they go to the countryside?

Go to school just to go to the countryside?

Niang and the teacher said that learning culture is for themselves, and it would be better to cultivate land with culture. But... It's better for them to have educated youth to cultivate land. It's better for them to have members without culture to cultivate land.

So... Is reading useful?

Dawang doesn't care. He has his own goal. Going to school is going to school. These problems won't take him a little extra thought.

The ears of wheat are the most tangled, accompanied by Sanwang and Xiaowang.

They couldn't figure it out and asked the teacher.

In recent days, Han Qingping is also upset because of many things. He is confused and entangled by the children. Before he can answer this question, that question comes out again.

Sanwang: "teacher, you say that learning culture is useful, and farming is better than no culture. But you can see that educated youth have culture but no strength. They have to rely on strength to go down to the earth. It's not as good as members planting. Isn't culture useless?"

Maisui: "Shen Zhiqing is excellent. He can go to university, but he won't be allowed to. He is very educated, but when he comes to our brigade, we still have to farm. Culture doesn't help. Why is that? "

Han Qingping's mind was in a mess and he couldn't calm down to think about it. Now he's not sure how to answer, "that... It's late. Let's have class first and then talk about it after class, OK?" He had to give up the Dafa to escape.

The children also have to go to class.

When Erwang came over, he looked listless and wondered what was going on.

The first class was Huo Hongzhen's. she didn't have enough for lunch and was so hungry that she didn't feel energetic. And she is also very nervous, afraid of their performance is not good, efforts to activate the classroom atmosphere, but the children's response is not enthusiastic.

Most of the children will inevitably compare the new teacher with the original teacher. At the beginning, they always miss the old teacher and reject the new one.

Maisui's classmates were active in class and cooperated with the teacher seriously. Now she is struggling. Erwang is not in the mood to attend class because he cares about maisui. Dawang doesn't care, but he doesn't actively answer questions in class.

Sanwang is also entangled, but he is just taking part in the fun.

Because he was not active in his studies, he went to school for his mother, and he didn't want to go to any university. He felt that he would just go home and farm in the future. But he was worried about the educated youth. So many beautiful sisters and brothers, so excellent and educated, knew more than their teachers, but they had to go to the countryside to work with the uneducated members. He was worried about them.

Xiaowang is thinking about love. Why did the educated youth go to the countryside? Why don't their parents want them? Are they not good? Don't you love them? What is the reason?

In the final analysis, only the ears of wheat are really entangled.

In the big classroom, only a few of them are most active. Maisui and Erwang are not active. Sanwang's words fade away. Other children are embarrassed to raise their hands to answer questions and to sing in public, so the class is really boring.

After class, Huo Hongzhen is also at a loss, standing in the campus staring at a rose in a daze.

Maisui ran out and asked her, "sister Huo, why do you read?"

Huo Hongzhen a Leng, subconsciously way: "in order to learn knowledge ah."

"Why study knowledge?"

"For the sake of... Um, building the motherland..." Huo Hongzhen took out what the thought teacher said.

"How do we build our motherland? "Farming?" Maisui thought, "students from big cities come to the countryside to farm after reading books?"

Huo Hongzhen, the educated youth, was not old enough to be a teacher because of her shallow experience and lack of deep understanding. Moreover, because he was at a loss when he went to the countryside, he was sad and worried. When he was asked by maisui, he also pointed out that he was sad, and some of them could not speak.

"There are many posts in the country, which need different talents..." Huo Hongzhen said with pain: "the best ones can go to..."

Maisui scratched his head: "but you and Shen Zhiqing are excellent. Why can't you go?"

Huo Hongzhen's eyes are red.

Maisui also asked, "if you don't want to take the university entrance examination, you won't go to the countryside to recruit workers in the city. Only the educated youth in the city go to the countryside, and no students from the countryside go to the city."

"No... isn't there any recommendation for college? Your parents are cadres. You can definitely recommend them. " According to her experience, even those who are recommended to universities in the city are the children of cadres, and the remaining places will be given to advanced elements.

"But those who are recommended to the University have to come back." Maisui still couldn't figure it out. The more teachers said, the more confused she was. She decided to go home and ask her mother.

She said hello to Huo Hongzhen and ran first.

Huo Hongzhen stood there thinking about her future and the problem of wheat ears. She couldn't help crying in a corner.

Erwang saw that maisui didn't go back to the classroom. Instead, he ran out. He also said hello to Dawang and ran out.

Lin Lan has already gone home and is sewing a cotton padded jacket. Seeing her daughter's red eyes coming back, she is startled, "daughter, what's the matter? If you have anything to worry about, please tell me

She thought that her sons were in the class, and her daughter would not be bullied. Erwang let maisui not be angry with her. There must be something bothering her. I'm sorry to tell the boy.

Maisui couldn't figure it out, so she was worried. The more worried she was, the more confused she was. Like the broken bead, she rushed into Lin Lan's arms, "Niang."

Lin Lan stroked her hair and didn't speak. She calmed her mood first. After a while, she said, "come on, what's the matter?"

Maisui said the tangled problems, and then tearfully looked at Lin Lan.

Lin Lan can't help laughing. She looks at the pretty girl's tears filling her eyelashes. Her heart is sour. She takes a handkerchief to wipe her tears. "Silly girl, we can't go to the top at any time. If you have any questions, come back and tell your parents, you know?"

The ears of wheat nodded.

"Mother, what's the matter? The educated youth in big cities go to the countryside to farm. They learn little culture, but they don't earn work points by all their strength. In this way, they might as well not read books and work hard at the beginning. It's a bit more strenuous. "

Lin Lan is very pleased that the children will think when they are old.

She said softly, "I don't want to lie to you about the things in front of me. That's the reality. Country people can't get into the city, so they go home after reading. There are too many people in the city to arrange their jobs, so they choose a group of graduates to go to the countryside to relieve the pressure of the city. "

Mai Sui looked at her with a flash of eyes, and felt that this statement was very novel, and no one else said it.

Lin Lan laughed and continued: "don't we listen to the radio? The difficulties are temporary. Eight years of Anti Japanese war is the most miserable and darkest day. Isn't it over? It's been so hard in three years of disaster that we can survive. If we go through a great calamity, we will have a good future. Our country will be better and better. "

She pauses. "It's just because there are not enough backward jobs that we have to send educated youth to the countryside. This just shows that all walks of life are accumulating strength, and society needs a large number of capable talents. When it accumulates to a certain extent, it will form a state of vigorous eruption, which is the inevitable law of the development of things. At that time, the whole society will undergo earth shaking changes. Barriers will be broken and barriers will be broken. Knowledge is power. At that time, just go out is the opportunity, educated youth, people who read books and culture in the countryside, they can go straight to the city or stay in the countryside to build a new world. If you don't study and have no culture, can you go out well? "

Wheat tears in the eyes flashing flame, compelling bright, "Niang, you mean the future is bright, right?"

Lin Lan nodded, holding her delicate cheek, said with a smile: "of course, the future is bright. If the reality doesn't look as good as you think, quietly build up your strength and arm yourself to your teeth. Those who are addicted to the reality and dare not change will always complain that they are not enterprising. Even if the opportunity comes, they can only complain about social injustice and let them miss the opportunity. And you, those of you who are ready, will be able to fly, soar, and open up a new era. "

Mai Sui hugged Lin Lan, "Niang, you are also looking forward to that day, aren't you?"

Lin Lan to very seriously said: "for Niang, the present is the best, not nostalgic for the past, not greedy for the future, every day is the most precious."

Because today is the future of the past, and today is also the past of the future.

Maisui looked up at her and firmly imprinted this sentence in her mind.

Lin Lan hugged her and shook her. "We must remember that there is no difficulty. We must not go through the corner. The way is more difficult than the way."

"Mother." Ears of wheat burst into tears and said, "I remember."

"Go ahead and think for yourself." Lin Lan wiped her tears and patted her on the shoulder. "It's not school yet."

Maisui nodded. Then she saw Erwang standing in the main room. She couldn't help laughing and said, "Oh, how did you come back?"

Erwang: "I eat eggplant box salty, come back to drink some water."

Lin Lan told them to go to school.

When maisui and Erwang went out, the haze of her heart was clear, and her steps were very light. She could not help humming a ditty: "we are the successors of communism ~ ~"

Erwang laughed, "don't you want to go to the top?"

Mai Sui is sorry, "what horn is sharp, there is no such thing."

Erwang smiles and goes to school with her, apologizes to the teacher first, and then sits back in class.

Han Qingping called out maisui after class and cared about her, "maisui classmate, do you... Want to understand?"

Wheat sweet smile, "yes, my mother said to me, I figured it out."

Han Qingping is very curious, "how to think it out?"

Maisui said: "teacher, you said it. We learn for ourselves, learning can make me happy, let me know more, let me know how people come, how the earth turns. So, even if reading can't make me go to university, I still want to come back to cultivate land. I'm very happy. Because I know what the world is like and I'm not alone. "

Lonely? Han Qingping laughs. A child actually says that he is lonely, but he speaks deeply about their heart.

So, teacher, hope is ahead. We are always ready. When hope comes, our knowledge can really play a role, right

Han Qingping looks at her and hopes to come? What does hope look like? What posture? coming?

"How did your mother teach you?"

Maisui nodded, "I think my mother is right, I'm still young, there are unlimited possibilities in the future!"

Han Qingping nodded, "yes, good boy, your mother is right. You are still young, in this world, the most invincible is time, good refueling

"Thank you, teacher."

Maisui and hanqingping finish, and went to huohongzhen, found her red eyes, quickly apologized, "Huo sister, I'm sorry, I let you sad."

Huo Hongzhen said with a smile, "it's not."

Maisui told Huo Hongzhen what he had learned from Han Qingping and finally said, "sister Huo, don't lose heart. My mother said, hope is ahead, opportunity is for those who are prepared. So don't lose heart. "

Huo Hongzhen has actually heard what she said to Han Qingping, and she is pondering it over and over again. Unexpectedly, Lin Lan, a country woman and Mai Sui, a country girl, have such insight and ideas.

It's really not easy.

She said sincerely: "maisui, thank you very much. When you said that, my heart suddenly brightened."

"That's good." Maisui took her hand and encouraged her, "let's all come on!"

Because of the ears of wheat, Lin Lan went to the intersection to wait for the children after school in the afternoon.

Soon, she saw the children go home as usual. Sanwang and Xiaowang were chasing each other. They had already thrown the tangled problems into the wind. Maisui and Erwang are talking behind, while Dawang is walking beside them. It's not against them to keep silent.

Lin Lan waved to them.

"Mother!" Xiao Wang takes the lead in running forward and pours into Lin Lan's arms.

Lin Lan took his little hand and went home with the children. After asking, she knew that the children were born with that kind of emotion because of Fan Xiao.

Erwang: "Niang, fan Zhiqing should be a very proud person, but in order to have a meal, she did that... It really makes people feel very sad. I think her parents must love her very much. If they know that she is living so hard now, I'm afraid they don't know how to feel distressed. "

Lin Lan took the opportunity to brainwash her child: "if I were her mother, I would worry, regret and blame myself now. I shouldn't spoil my child and let her do nothing in the past. Parents can't give you a future, but they can let you learn how to do laundry, cook and take care of yourself. When you leave parents later, you can take good care of yourself and won't let them worry. "

The children are thoughtful.

Xiao Wang said seriously: "big brother, little third brother, so Dad beat you, it's really good for you."

Dawang: "why can't you forget?"!

Xiao Wang: "big brother, little brother three, from now on, please learn to cook. Come on!"

Sanwang: "ah, brother Wang, you are getting worse and worse."
