Chapter 194： Protect the calf

Chapter 194 Protecting the Calf

Li Dekun placed the yellowed paper on the table and smoothed it out. There was a rush of air in his chest, and he felt that even his breath was trembling.

Perhaps many people don’t understand, or even understand, why a few lyrics can have such a big emotional impact on people like Zhao Hongbing and Li Dekun?

That's because they live in the current era and know that the stability they are in now was obtained by many brave and loyal people who sacrificed their lives during the long march on foot.

They may not have much culture, but the education they received from childhood is to be grateful and remember, and the words recorded in crooked handwriting on the paper reflect the memories engraved in their bones since childhood, making those pictures that have been passed down by word of mouth but not witnessed with their own eyes, more vivid. At this time, scenes vividly appear in front of our eyes, making people remember and cherish them, and at the same time teach future generations to strive for self-improvement...

What a good example for our Chinese children to bleed without shedding tears.

What a person who remembers the bravery and fearlessness of the revolutionary martyrs.

Grow up and build Greater China...

“We are all educated youth, how come there is such a big difference?” Li Dekun rubbed his forehead and wiped his eyes.

Such good and exciting words in such ugly handwriting always felt imperfect. Li Dekun took out a pen and a thick black leather-covered book from the drawer, and copied it word by word. After thinking deeply for a while, he raised his head. Looking at Luo Daqing and Zhao Hongbing, "This matter is not impossible. If you are determined to do it, I will give you a trick."

Zhao Hongbing rubbed his hands nervously, "Director Li, just tell me what you want to do, and our production team will actively cooperate with the mobilization! That's right, captain!"

As he spoke, he reached out and pushed Luo Daqing. Zhao Hongbing tilted his head and squeezed out a few words through his teeth to urge: "Why are you still looking so grim? Hurry up and express your stance!"

Luo Daqing glared at Zhao Hongbing with a "tsk" look, and then looked at Li Dekun with a black face and a smile, waiting for Li Dekun to continue.

"It is definitely impossible to run a school under the current conditions, but if you are willing, you can set up a literacy class," Li Dekun said, taking out another notebook for taking notes in meetings from the drawer, he opened it and flipped through a few pages. Paraphrasing the content to Luo Daqing and Zhao Hongbing, "In order to improve the cultural level of the vast number of farmers in urban and rural areas, the superiors have issued a target that every production team under the brigade must set up literacy classes. Not only the education of juniors must be provided, but adults must also participate."

"This is an order I just received when I went to the county for a meeting two days ago. I originally planned to organize the captains of each brigade to come over for a meeting today and tomorrow. It rained lightly in the morning, so it was delayed. Just as I was about to set off, I caught up with those from the Zhougang brigade. Things..." Li Dekun closed the notebook, "You all know what can and cannot be done here. You can weigh the rest by yourself, and don't go too far and make it difficult for everyone. "

Luo Daqing is reliable and Li Dekun can trust him.

As for Zhao Hongbing, he came to the commune and received several commendations because of the security team in the production team. Of course Li Dekun knew him and knew Zhao Hongbing's character. Everyone knew what was right, so Li Dekun didn't say much more about this matter.

 Zhao Hongbing stood up after Luo Daqing, thanked Li Dekun a few times, and planned to go back with Luo Daqing. However, just as he turned around and walked to the door, Zhao Hongbing suddenly stopped.

Luo Daqing was confused, "Let's go, shall we stand still?"

"Wait a minute!" Zhao Hongbing turned around and asked in a straightforward and a little cunning manner: "Director Li, is there anything else I can apply for for the literacy class?"

Li Dekun was just about to ask, "What do you want to apply for?" when he saw Zhao Hongbing stretched out his right hand and rubbed the first three fingers together:

“Such as subsidy funds or something?”

…”

…”

Li Dekun and Luo Daqing were stunned at the same time.

After a pause, Luo Daqing spoke first: "There are so many large brigades under the commune, and there are so many production teams under the brigades. If we can apply for subsidy funds, how much will it cost? You, Zhao Hongbing, you..."

Luo Daqing originally wanted to remind Zhao Hongbing in disguise, but he didn't know that before he finished speaking, he heard Zhao Hongbing laugh roughly "Haha", waved his hand and said, "How can it be the same?"

There are people in that team who have gone to school, and their education level is not as good as that of the educated youth in the city. If literacy classes are opened, the teachers will definitely be educated youths.

When he thought of this, Zhao Hongbing had something to say, "Is there any educated youth in their team who can compare with the educated youth we are facing? Let's not talk about how the lyrics are written. Let's talk about another thing! We were both busy a while ago. Wait, the female comrades on the team were afraid that the children would run out to play in the water when they were busy, so they greeted the educated youths in advance and asked the educated youths to teach the children how to read. It was originally a half-truth and half-false politeness, but you can Are you thinking about it? The educated youth's farm work was not delayed at all, and he really taught those stupid kids a lesson!"

"How can I say this? Opportunities are always reserved for those who are capable and prepared! I think the educated youth comrades on our team must be excellent. For the sake of the educated youth and the children, I hereby express my sincere gratitude to the director in the name of the production captain Apply!"

“If there is a subsidy quota, please ask the director to help.”

When the production team has something to say, it communicates with the team leader. Only when the team leader feels that the matter is OK will he continue to report to the upper level without skipping a level.

Now that all Zhao Hongbing's soldiers are in the commune, to avoid spreading rumors or making mistakes in the future, he must express all his ideas and advantages in order to gain more resources.

Li Dekun was silent for a long time, and after a brief moment of deep thought, he nodded: "I understand this matter. After the meeting is over in two days, after collecting the opinions of other brigade captains, I will explain them to the county. As for the rest, you can do it first. Go back and wait for notification.”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Hongbing, who had been stiff-necked just now, suddenly smiled and bent over. His toughness was gone, and all he showed was a flattering foil for ordinary people, "Then thank you, director, thank you, director. I will represent our team." All the educated youth would like to express their gratitude to the director. When the time comes, this literacy class will definitely complete the glorious mission of eliminating the “illiteracy” label!”

Coming out of the commune, Zhao Hongbing had temporarily put his mind to rest. Before he even smiled, he was glared at by Luo Daqing with a stern face.

Zhao Hongbing chuckled and put his arm on Luo Daqing's shoulder, and the two walked back familiarly and affectionately, "Lao Luo, don't blame me for talking too much just now. You know what I think. Tell me, we won't say these words. Who else can say it?"

"You are the team leader, and you are in charge of several production teams, but I am different. My abilities are limited and I cannot manage others. I can only keep a close eye on the children under me." Zhao Hongbing said, sighing and patting Luo. Daqing’s shoulders, praying for understanding.

How could Luo Daqing not know what he was like?

After being silent for a long time, Luo Daqing sighed: "You said that you are a production team leader, asking the commune for money, what do you mean? The director will probably call you a 'shameless old thing' in his heart."

Zhao Hongbing took advantage of the situation and retracted his arm, and shouted: "My face can't be used as food, so I'm shameless! It's their business if they want face. When my furry child becomes a thing, will you go see them again? Humph, Let them cry!"

After saying that, he walked away.

Luo Daqing knew that Zhao Hongbing's bad temper was rising again, he frowned and said "tsk", and quickly followed behind him, "Look at you, look at you! What did you say about you? You are still stubborn!"

Separating from Luo Daqing halfway, Zhao Hongbing was worried about the work in the team and the location of the literacy class. He hurried home as if on hot wheels. He had just stepped through the courtyard gate and had not caught up before entering the house. After drinking water, a tall man walked in at the door. "uncle."

Zhao Hongbing stopped pouring water, turned around and took a look, saying, "Hey, Alang, what's going on?"

"I was building a ditch at the foot of the back hill this morning and caught a bunch of rabbits. The big ones were probably frightened by me and hit the tree..." Huo Lang turned sideways and put the basket on his back on the table in the main room. , and finally pulled the mouth of the basket to the side to let Zhao Hongbing look inside, "There are six small ones, and they are not very big. I thought they wouldn't survive if they were left outside, so I brought them back."

Pheasants and rabbits on the mountain are owned by the public. According to the rules, they cannot be caught or killed casually. Generally, if they are caught in special circumstances or something else, they will be handed over to the production team for processing.

Huo Lang's words are full of loopholes, but they cannot shake Zhao Hongbing's trust in him.

The big rabbit's pupils were dilated in the basket on his back, and his body was already stiff. The little rabbits were still alive, each one was only the size of a fist, and they were all crowded together under the big rabbit's belly.

"I guess it rained heavily last night and flooded the cave. The older one brought the younger one out to look for food, and you were caught up just in time." Zhao Hongbing took a look and said, "It's just that the younger one is too small. It has not been out for ten days. If you let it go, you will die, and it will be difficult to raise it..."

Zhao Hongbing was thinking about saying something more, but Huo Lang spoke first: "Then let Si Zhiqing give it a try."

“Academician Liang gave her such a small cat before. I guess she knows a little about this convenience.”

"Let's do this...I think it's okay." Without Huo Lang having to say more, Zhao Hongbing had already figured out most of it.

Just after a moment, Zhao Hongbing frowned again, waved his hand for Huo Lang to sit down at the table, and said, "Do we need to weigh this matter?"

Si Ningning’s usual work is not heavy, but it is very complicated.

She had to be arranged to be a literacy class teacher soon. Zhao Hongbing subconsciously felt embarrassed. He felt that he would blame others for everything. If it was a **** man, it would be easier to say more, but he was a young girl.

Si Ningning previously revealed that he wanted to raise rabbits, and Huo Lang always kept it in mind, but he knew that he knew it, but it was hard to tell Zhao Hongbing about it, otherwise Zhao Hongbing would definitely doubt Huo Lang's words just now.

After thinking about it for a while, Huo Lang changed his tone and said, "Let's ask first. If Si Zhiqing can't take care of it, I will keep it first and wait until it is raised to see whether to let it go or what to do."

Zhao Hongbing nodded repeatedly, "Okay, I think it's okay."

Having said this, Zhao Hongbing knew that Huo Lang was a far-sighted person who had seen a lot of the world, so he couldn't help but mention what happened in the commune in the morning, "The meaning of the commune is that everyone only needs to know a few words, but it's okay." I think we have educated youths on the team, and they are all serious and educated people... Do you think we can keep this talented person in front of us and prevent her from shining? "

Zhao Hongbing rested his arm on the edge of the table and continued: "If you want to do this, do it well and do it quickly!"

"Uncle has made a clear plan, so let's do it according to his idea." Huo Lang nodded, "This matter will benefit everyone, and everyone will support it wholeheartedly. As for other places that need help from the security team, I can just say so."

With Huo Lang's words, Zhao Hongbing felt more at ease, "Okay, I'll think about it later and see if I should make room for corrections or build a new one..."

"As for this rabbit, it's not easy for you to bring the two little ones of the Chen family alone. Cover it tightly and take it home to eat. I'll help raise the little one first. I'll ask Si Zhiqing later and I'll follow up when I get the news. You total.”

“I would like to thank uncle for taking care of Hegu and Sanmiao.”

Huo Lang lowered his peach blossom eyes and thought for a moment, nodded and got up to put the basket on his back again.

Although he has the ability to raise his younger siblings, this is Zhao Hongbing's care for the Chen family as a fellow villager, and it is difficult for Huo Lang to refuse.

After talking about business and leisure, Huo Lang left Zhao's house and went to his own home.

Zhao Hongbing stood in the courtyard and called back Sanya, who was playing around wildly, and asked Sanya to go find Si Ningning.

As for Si Ningning, whom everyone keeps mentioning, where is he at this time? What are you doing again?

On the hillside behind the third production team, Si Ningning half-bowed and rubbed her soles on the grass with her toes.

Since there was nothing to do in the morning, Si Ningning went out to plant sweet potato seedlings together.

The land is divided into two parts. Because there is a growth gap in the middle when cutting, the work is not heavy.

It's just that these two plots of land are newly dug, and they are all soft new soil. They were soaked by the rain last night. When Si Ningning first came here, he could make a hole with one step, and the shoes became heavier as he stepped on them.

If it weren’t for the many earthworms that came out of the ground to breathe, Si Ningning would have wanted to take off his shoes. Fortunately, he had already finished...

After wiping the mud off the soles of his shoes and washing his hands in a small ditch at the end of the field, Si Ningning stood up and put on his backpack to go back to the educated youth point. However, as soon as he walked a few steps down the hillside, he made a new discovery.

This hilltop is not that big, with more than ten floors inside a ring, forming a terraced style.

Si Ningning stood halfway up the mountain. On the **** at the corner of the cornfield on her diagonal side, there was a small patch of messy bushes, among which honeysuckle and another kind of thorn vine were entangled.

Among them, the honeysuckle vine has small flowers with long mouths and trumpet-like shapes, which is not surprising. On the contrary, the thorn vine that is very similar to the thorn vine looks very different.

Between the small green leaves and the curved thorns, there are small yellow or orange fruits hanging, and those small fruits, like the thorn vines hanging from them, are covered with small thorns...

Si Ningning knew what it was.

Golden Sakura…

Like thorns, golden cherry is also a kind of wild fruit in the countryside. Si Ningning used to be eaten by her friends in the village when she was at her grandma's house. It was very sweet.
