Chapter 48 Educated Youth
Zhaojun's head was dizzy, and he was still thinking about what he had, 100 yuan, [-] catties of provincial food stamps and industrial vouchers collected by his brothers and sisters.
I brought all the clothes, quilts, four sets for summer, two sets of cotton clothes and trousers for winter, one set of thin jackets for spring and autumn, etc.Two washbasins, a lunch box, a pair of rubber shoes, a pair of cotton shoes, a pair of sandals, a kettle, and an enamel jar.
There are also high school textbooks, all brought.
The little girl is pretty smart, so she didn't bring any foreign novels with her.She knew that many educated youths brought such books with them.After her parents left, she suddenly matured a lot.
What ideals, what romantic love, are not as important as filling your stomach and not relying on others.
She definitely has no share in her parents' house, and the three older brothers will not let the older sisters in the family get it.
She was already prepared.
Therefore, the three elder brothers have treated her well in recent years, which is making up for it.The package sent her to the countryside this time, each of them took ten catties of food stamps, ten yuan and some industrial coupons, and they also sent her off.
When the two married, they didn't get any real estate from their natal family, and the older sisters who had any property from their parents also gave her ten catties of food stamps and ten yuan each.
After calculating, I still can't wake up.
The small space obtained in the previous life was also taken into the auspicious cloud and used as a new golden finger.
She did not use the golden finger in Xiangyun in her last life.
Consciousness leaped into Xiangyun, stretched out his hand, and a golden key fell into his hand.
A piece of information came into my mind: Taobao Star.com.
Just look at the name and know how to use it.Zhaojun, who has been baptized by modern civilization, is extremely satisfied.Indeed, this thing works.
Got it, nothing physical but good luck and fortune.
Lying on his stomach, he quietly raised the corners of his mouth and smiled.A very affordable cheat, although it is not a system, there is nothing specific, but it is just as easy to use.
Amid the excitement of others, the train arrived at one stop, and people got off the train all the way.
There are only half of the classmates in the carriage.
At the terminal station, Zhaojun also got off the bus.
Standing on the platform, she found that there were quite a few people getting off the train, and there were about a dozen of her classmates.Basically all in one regiment.
The place where you get off is the terminal and a small station.
When you get off the car, you can see rows of tractors and carriages outside the fence.
"Junjun, are you better?" Hu Weiwei, who has been taking care of Zhaojun, carried it on her shoulders, hung it around her neck, and carried it with her hands.
The same is true for Zhaojun, the golden key entered his body, and his health has improved, but he is still a little weak.His face was still pale, and the thin sweat on his forehead had never been less.
With all the belongings squeezed on his body, his frail body swayed a few times, a little untenable.
"Weiwei, I'm fine. They should come to pick us up outside. Let's go!" After saying a few words, I was a little out of breath.
"Well, let's go together." Hu Weiwei was a little worried, and followed Zhaojun all the time.
Several classmates in the same class also followed Zhaojun all the time.
Several people formed a small group and walked outside the fence.
The queue outside was lined up in a row, and there were people on the carriages and tractors.
Outside the fence, someone unified and organized the team, and then the company commanders or instructors of each company read their names one by one.
What I thought of was the educated youths of their company.
Zhaojun, Hu Weiwei, Xu Jianguo, Jiang Xinyi, Wen Xin, and Jiang Xiaodong were classmates and were assigned to the fourth company.
There are also classmates who are assigned to the first company, the second company, the third company, the fifth company, and the sixth company.
There was also a group of fresh graduates from high schools (Kyoto, Shanghai) like them who were broken up and divided into several companies.
The fourth company came to pick them up, the instructor An Dalu and an old soldier surnamed Duan, driving two tractors.
They have a total of 30 people, and the two tractors are fully loaded.
Along the way, the patient was taken care of and let her sit on the luggage.Because she is sitting, it compresses the standing space of others.
Some people were unwilling, and muttered, "Some people go to the countryside for construction, and they do special things, and they need others to take care of them."
Hu Weiwei was standing behind Zhaojun, she frowned and was about to say something, but Zhaojun pulled her pants and resisted saying anything.
They didn't say anything, but a delicate voice rang in everyone's ears, "Lili, don't say that, it's not conducive to unity. I think this classmate is really uncomfortable.
Look at that pale face. "
The voice was delicate, and several male educated youths' eyes lit up when they heard it, looking at the beautiful woman Ma Yanping who made the sound.
Thin willow eyebrows, big eyes, oval face, slim figure.There is also the smell of toilet water on my body, which is really particular.
The clothes she was wearing were also good, and one could tell at a glance that the condition of the house was not bad.
The muttering female educated youth, Zhu Li, pursed her mouth and stopped talking, but her mouth moved a few times. She had no background. It seemed that she was still not angry in her heart, but she was forced to persuade her "friends" to say nothing.
A small quarrel, before it had time to ferment, was dissipated into the flying dust because of Ma Yanping's persuasion.
The chug of the tractor became the only music on the road.
Zhaojun leaned against the fast steel plate connected to the driver and closed his eyes.
After more than an hour, they arrived at the fourth company.
Silian was built on the riverside, on the flat part of a sloping land not far from the river.
It was a female platoon leader who received the girls. When there were no educated youths, he assisted the company commander and instructor to manage the family members of the company.
It is all soldiers who opened up wasteland and established corps here, and there were no women before.Until later, the marriage affairs of the bachelors were solved one after another.
Slowly the family area was established.
Almost ten years have passed, and the population of Silian has doubled several times.All of the more than 100 Chinese characters that year were married and had children.The most veteran soldier has given birth to five children.
Most of them have two or three children. If there are more children and family members, the number will naturally double.
From the educated youth who came to Silian a few years ago, to today, there are 40 old educated youths.Among them, there are twelve female educated youths.
Huang Yiling, who was educated in women's work before, naturally became the platoon leader in charge of female educated youths.
In fact, no one called her platoon leader, but they all kindly called her Big Sister Huang.
Her lover is the company commander Wu Zhenwei, who went to the regiment headquarters for a meeting yesterday and didn't come back until the afternoon.
Sister Huang stood in front of the girls' dormitory, first introduced herself, and then said, "For some reason, there is still a lack of a bunk in the big dormitory. We don't do any voting, and I prepared paper balls for writing.
Newly arrived female educated youths touch it by themselves, and sleep in a big dormitory if they touch it.The one who touched the old utility room next to the big dormitory slept alone in the old utility room.
Don't babble, don't say anything unfair.
The Corps is also an army, and everything is bound to obey orders. Do you understand? "
Sister Huang is also a soldier. She used to work in the regiment headquarters, and she was the first to move in after the Sixth Company started to build a family courtyard.
"Understood." The female educated youths all nodded. It is true that touching the paper balls depends on luck. Whether they like it or not, there is no need to say.
"Okay, if you understand it, come forward and touch the ball of paper. The big characters mean the big dormitory, and the mixed characters in the utility room mean sleeping alone in the utility room.
Let me say first, if the person who finds the miscellaneous characters is unwilling to sleep there, you can find someone who is close and willing to sleep there to change.But don't cause any trouble, and don't fight.
The utility room is not big, just a kang, and then turned around, the big dormitory was rebuilt from an old warehouse.
This utility room used to be the place where the warehouse guards slept on duty. "
Sister Huang explained clearly so that no one would go wrong.
One by one, Zhaojun leaned against the door frame, and was the last one to touch the paper ball.
Open it in front of everyone, miscellaneous characters.
Zhu Li, who likes gossip, just curled her lips in jealousy. When she heard that Ma Yanping had a single room, her heart just jumped for joy, and then sank to the bottom of the valley.
She didn't touch the miscellaneous characters, and glanced at the idiot Julie next to her, her eyes flickered a few times.I have an idea right away, but I have to wait for Sister Huang to leave before implementing it.
Hu Weiwei, Jiang Xinyi was happy for Zhaojun, she didn't care about her luggage, and said happily, "Junjun, you rest, we will help you make the bed."
All have their own quilt, a bed cover, and a mattress.
"Weiwei, Xinxin, let's go together." Zhaojun took the key that Sister Huang handed her, followed the direction of Sister Huang's finger, and saw the hut.
It's right next door to the big dormitory, only about ten meters away.It is a separate room.
As he walked, he thought about how to arrange the room where he was going to live in for several years or even ten years.
The basic sanitation has been done, and the room is not big, only fourteen or five square meters.There is also a toilet in the back, which must have been made for the people who used to be on duty.
Very well, Zhaojun looked around the front and back of the house, and when he returned to the house, the other two had already wiped the kang for Zhaojun.
"Weiwei, Xinxin, don't do it. Go and get your own bunk first. I'll do it myself here."
The house is a small suite, the entrance is a small kitchen, the left side is the room, the back door of the kitchen is the toilet.In the room on the left is an old kang cabinet, a table and two chairs, which were left over from the past.It belongs to the public, so no one has moved it away. There is still a large water tank in the kitchen. I don't know if it was left before or bought by the company this time.
Jiang Xinyi, who was helping Zhaojun clean up, turned her head and said with a smile, "Junjun, we are not in a hurry. I will clean it up for you first, and then you can lie down for a while. We should be able to clean it up soon."
"Okay, I'm really tired. I'm tired, and I'm sweating intermittently."
After a while, the two diligent girls helped Zhaojun clean up the house.
Wipe it all.
Zhaojun was lying on the kang mat, his whole body was limp.
After a while, Sister Huang came to the big dormitory and gave an introduction meeting.
Introduce the Silian situation in detail, where is the cafeteria, where is the company office, and where is the canteen operated by the company.There are several piers by the river, and the mountains on the other side of the river can collect firewood, dig wild vegetables (there are not many now), pick up mountain products, and so on.
The newcomers came to rest for five days. These five days gave them time to adapt.Write letters to my family, and I can go to the commune [-] miles away, or go to the county town [-] miles away.
You can also collect firewood to store firewood for kang burning in winter.
Sister Huang introduced for more than an hour, and also introduced the glorious tradition and heroic historical deeds of Silian.
I stopped twice in the middle and drank water twice.I also emphasized that all actions in the Corps are subject to the command, and no running around is allowed. There are no people in the corps except for the fourth company in a radius of tens of miles.
When you go out, you have to bring a companion. If there is no danger, you are responsible for it yourself.
As for everything about going to work, there is no introduction for the time being, and I will introduce it together with the male educated youth on the first day of work.
After the meeting, Sister Huang touched Zhaojun's forehead, and asked with concern, "Dou Zhaojun, are you all right, do you have any medicine?"
Nodding weakly, "Sister Huang, I'm much better. I'm sweating a lot. I'll take a shower, wash my hair, and get a good night's sleep. I'll be almost fine tomorrow."
Sister Huang saw that although Zhaojun was a little weak, but she didn't look serious, she felt relieved, "Okay, it's uncomfortable to take the train on a hot day when you have a cold. The water tank in your room is full, and the kitchen has prepared three for you. firewood for the day.
If you want to use firewood in the future, you have to go to the mountains to collect it yourself. "
Sister Huang personally found a small room arranged by someone. The same is true for each large dormitory. Three days of firewood and two tanks of water (the large dormitory has a large number of people).
"Thank you, big sister. I'll go pick up firewood when I feel better tomorrow. Let me ask, where to send the letter to whom to mail it together when I write it tomorrow."
"Letters are sent to the company headquarters and handed over to the correspondent Zhang Shuichi. He goes to the regiment headquarters every three days, and sometimes he goes every day when he has something to do. He handles the sending and receiving of letters uniformly."
"Okay, I have no problem."
Zhaojun thanked Sister Huang, greeted Weiwei and Xinxin, and left the dormitory.She had to go back and boil water to take a shower and wash her hair.
In the kitchen, the fire was skillfully lit, and the fire was lit in a short while. The rusty broken iron pot was washed clean by Zhaojun with hot water, and the water started to boil without rust.
After finishing everything in a hurry, it was already one o'clock in the noon, and I didn't go to the cafeteria to make a call for dinner. It was Hu Weiwei who helped me call.
After washing the clothes and drying them outside, Zhaojun boiled a pot of boiling water for himself, laid out the quilt, leaned against the pillows, and sat lazily on the kang against the kang cabinet.
In front of him, a virtual screen invisible to others was always on.
Swipe with consciousness and click to see the products inside.
A base currency of 100 yuan was given away, and there is currently only one basic store: the era store.
It contains all the commodities of this era, both domestic and foreign.The things you buy are all from this era, so you don’t have to worry about being outdated or exposed.There is also a regular manufacturer's address that will not reveal the stuffing.
However, the quality is obviously better, and it can be said that there are no defective products in it.
Zhaojun is glad that the original owner never got sick with a cold before getting into the car.What she brought, the family did not know, the classmates and friends did not know.
She has 100 yuan, which can be recharged or sold. Some versions of money in this era are very valuable in later generations.
It can be consigned on the era store, and it will link to other time and space in exchange for more money.
Antiques, wild vegetables, and mountain goods can all be sold on consignment.
The store takes [-]% of the consignment fee, and the rest belongs to the individual.
Zhaojun took out his own money and scanned it one by one, but there was nothing valuable.
Zhaojun took out a stamp album from a large luggage bag on the top of the kang, which was left to her by the original owner's mother.
It was given to her in front of all the brothers, sisters-in-law and sisters, saying it was worthless, so just keep it in mind.
No one thought that the stamp album would be worth much, so they didn't care.
Zhaojun knew from the original owner's memory that there were five sets of Qing Dynasty's big and small dragon stamps in the stamp album.
She remembers that it is very valuable in later generations. She read a news that the transaction price was 55 RMB.
Zhaojun took out a set, scanned it and put it on the shelves, wrote down the product introduction, and marked the price at 48 yuan.
With the starting capital, I bought a thick cardboard box, and put my own money, tickets, coupons, house keys, stamp albums, and diaries.It was put into a large cardboard box and put into the storage bin of the store.
Perfect, don't worry about losing money in the future.
There are more than [-] yuan left, Zhaojun continued shopping, bought ten envelopes, stamps, bought a few bottles of canned food, bought a catty of liqueur chocolate, bought a catty of brown sugar, bought a catty of orange-flavored fruit sugar.
I bought two packs of pink toilet paper, a tube of toothpaste, a new toothbrush, four towels, ten candles, a flashlight, a sharp sickle, and a box of canned meat.
I bought two loose bottoming shirts and a pair of old-fashioned cloth shoes.
I bought everything and put it in the kang cabinet. Seeing that there was no lock on the kang cabinet, I bought another lock and locked the cabinet.
After finishing everything, more than half of the 100 yuan has been spent.
The half-closed door outside was pushed open with a creak, "Junjun, are you asleep?"
"Didn't sleep, come in." The body that had just been shuttled down got up again.
In July, it was still hot outside.
Hu Weiwei and Jiang Xinyi also cleaned up, finished their personal hygiene, and washed their clothes.
The two came, and there were three male classmates behind them, who were called by the two of them to carry water.
When five people came in, they immediately saw the liqueur chocolates placed on the kang.
"Wow, classmate Dou Zhaojun, you brought chocolate." Jiang Xiaodong's eyes sparkled when he saw the chocolate.
He is not a foodie, but in the era of poor supplies, liqueur chocolate is the top snack.
There are a few students in their teens who don't like to eat.
Not to mention him, the other four are equally happy.
If Dou Zhaojun can take it out, he must entertain them.
"I bought some, and I've troubled you all along the way. All sit, two for each person."
The three male students followed the rules, and pulled two chairs by the table, and the three of them crowded together and sat down.
One person, two, take them in a regular manner.
The first thing Xinxin did when she got on the kang was to touch Zhaojun's forehead, "The fever is gone, and it's better than when I got off the train. It seems that tomorrow or two days, it will recover.
In the past two days, the task of carrying water has been handed over to the following three.
Don't do heavy work, take a good rest. "
The three of them were in the same class from elementary school to high school, with similar personalities and the best relationship.
Zhaojun is sick, Weiwei and Xinxin are worried to death.In these years, many people die from colds.
"Well, maybe it will be all right tomorrow morning. I plan to write a letter first when I get well tomorrow, to report to my brothers and sisters that they are safe.
If my body allows, I would like to go to the opposite mountain forest to collect some firewood.
Those of you who enter the county or the commune will help me buy six large bowls, six small bowls, and six pairs of chopsticks.The old will do.
I'll give you twenty catties of food stamps, one catty of oil stamps, and some salt, sauce and vinegar. "
"Junjun, are you going to cook by yourself?"
I put a strand of hair behind my ear, took Weiwei and Xinxin's hands, and said, "I don't cook often. I just prepare. The wheat harvest will be harvested next month, and farm work requires physical strength.
Prepare first, if we are exhausted, we will add extra meals.
When I was free these few days, when I was collecting firewood, I also dug some wild vegetables to dry and picked some mushrooms to dry.In the future, I can cook and make soup. "
"Yes, it's still Junjun's thoughtfulness. When the wheat is harvested, if you want to replenish your strength, just come and have a meal, and just give the food stamps and money."
Hu Weiwei has a violent temper and immediately started soliciting business.
Jiang Xinyi frowned and disagreed with this plan, "Jun Jun, I will be very tired then. My grandfather and the others are from the countryside, and I know how tired it is during the autumn harvest.
How can I have the energy to cook at that time, just buy some food and come back.After harvesting the wheat, we will find a time to rest and have dinner together. "
When Jiang Xinyi was a child, she went to her grandfather's house in the countryside every year.I have seen how tiring it is when harvesting in the countryside. My grandfather is an old man, and my uncle is young and strong. They are all tired and want to be paralyzed when they go home.
"Let's talk then. How many days?"
A few people chatted, chatted for a while, the three male students took turns to fetch water, and filled a water tank for Zhaojun, even if the pot was full, they would directly use it to boil water tomorrow.
It didn't break up until four o'clock in the afternoon.
In the girls' dormitory, Ma Yanping took Zhu Li out, outside, with a gentle face, "Lili, I thought you would touch that small room.
I remember some time ago, you were sick.When you hear about private rooms, the first person that comes to mind is you. "
The gentle words and caring comfort moved Julie so much.
Zhu Li, who was so stupid as to die, was so touched that she was about to burst into tears. It was Yanping who knew her best and cared about her the most.
Moved in her heart, Zhu Li, who was pouting and irritated, said in a low voice, "Yanping, I think so too, but Sister Huang didn't favor anyone, she was the one who drew the lottery.
We can't say anything, unless she doesn't want to live and wants to find someone to change.Even if she finds someone to change, she won't find us.
Jiang Xinyi and Hu Weiwei in our dormitory are both her classmates, so how can they be exchanged for us. "
Although she wanted to live in, Zhu Li's mind was quite clear at this time, knowing that the hope of living in was extremely slim.
When the dormitory is drawn, it is carried out under the eyes of everyone.Sister Huang will not take sides with them on the first day she meets them, and she should pay attention when she speaks.
Otherwise, it will be troublesome if the leaders have a bad impression of themselves.
Ma Yanping was even more irritable, Zhu Li was stupid and timid.
The face was as gentle as ever, full of smiles.
"I know, I'm just thinking that when Comrade Dou Zhaojun is in better health, I'll talk to her and ask her to take the initiative to change with you. What do you think?"
"Yanping, you are so kind. No need, I don't want to let the company commander, instructor, and platoon leader have a bad impression of me when I first came.
I thank you, but stop talking.It would be nice to live with you, too.Although living in a single room has its advantages, it also has its disadvantages. "
Zhu Li was still afraid, and she had a lot of worries in her heart. In order to live a little more comfortably, it didn't seem worthwhile to leave a bad impression on the leaders.
It is said to be comfortable to live in, but it is actually a single room.The same kang, but different quilts are brought by each.No matter where you move, the advantage of a single room is that you have your own personal world.
It's not noisy, and it's safer to store things.It seems that there are not many.
Just because of this, it seems that it is not a good thing to leave people with the impression that they are too delicate to do anything.
Ma Yanping knew Zhu Li well enough, but she didn't expect that Zhu Li's thoughts would go astray.I was confused by Zhu Li's words, but my heart was roaring.
Ma Yanping: "..." What's going on, follow the script.
