Chapter 3 Xian Yaodong

"Nan Yi, come here quickly."

When Nan Yi and Men San'er came back after chatting, Liu Zhen waved quickly when she saw him.

"Let me introduce to you, this is Zhang Weiguo, and this is Jiang Biyun, both from the No. 8 Middle School. They will go to Shajiaotou with us."

"Hi, Nanyi, are we the only four going to Shajiaotou?"

"Yes, it's just the four of us. Others jumped in line at Changping and Daxing, and we, the unlucky ones, were dispatched here."

The one who answered was Zhang Weiguo. Judging from the intimacy between him and Jiang Biyun, they might be a couple.

"Then we are all here. I asked outside just now. Let's go to Shenzhengxu. There is a bus to Shajiaotou. There is only one bus a day. Hurry up, or we have to walk."

"Nanyi, do you know how to go to Shenzheng Market?"

"I know, you just follow me." Nanyi picked up his luggage again and walked away first.

All went well and they caught up with the car.

In the car, Zhang Weiguo and Jiang Biyun were whispering, and Nan Yi and Liu Zhen were also whispering.

"When we get to Shajiaotou, I'll talk to the educated youth office to see if they can give us some time to go to the supply and marketing cooperative, and let's go shopping."

"Nanyi, I..." Liu Zhen stumbled in embarrassment.

"It's okay, I'm here."

"Um."

Liu Zhen has known Nanyi since she decided to come here to jump in the queue, and she is used to the phrase "It's okay, I'm here", which made her feel at ease.

"By the way, did you bring your books?"

"No, it was taken by my mother and sold to others. We come here to work in agriculture, are books still useful?"

"Of course it's useful. Look, how many years have you not been a serious college student? Those workers, peasants, and soldiers are all coming from something. They either take off their pants to get acquainted, or they are farming experts and production pacesetters.

How many people have cultural background, can they be counted on to build the four modernizations?

If the country wants to develop, it must resume the college entrance examination, select talents for training, and then enrich them for various positions. Let's see, the resumption of the college entrance examination is not far away, maybe this year, maybe next year. "

"The country will really resume the college entrance examination?"

"Yes, we can't stay in the countryside for a lifetime. If you look at the former educated youth, many of them have already returned to the city. We just caught up with the bad luck. We probably won't stay here for long. The policy will be implemented sooner or later. .”

"But with such a large number of educated youth returning to the city, there are not so many jobs in the city that can be used to resettle them."

"Whether they can be resettled or not, people have to go back, otherwise, sooner or later the educated youth will join forces and riot. This is an unstable factor."

"Then...there will be a college entrance examination?"

"Trust me, it will."

"It would be great if it was true."

Liu Zhen's brain is not stupid, and her academic performance is very good. As long as she continues to maintain it, she will have no problem getting into college.

Although Nan Yi and Liu Zhen were classmates at the same school, they didn't know each other at all. Knowing that Liu Zhen was going to jump in the queue, Nan Yi went to find out about her situation.

At the train station, when he met the above, he felt sorry for this little girl.

He is about 1.6 meters tall, but he doesn't seem to have eight hundred taels of flesh on his body. He is lean, with a big head and a small body. He is comparable to a patient who has esophageal cancer and cannot eat.

The current conditions are not good, but it's not so hard, this girl must be such a redundant existence in my own family.

Stuffing an oil paper bag into Liu Zhen's hand, Nanyi said: "There are donkey-hide gelatin dates in it, you can eat a few, just eat a few, not too much, get off the car later, I will take you to eat intestines Fan, if you can buy roast goose pigeon, I will buy it for you too."

"Um."

In just two days, Liu Zhen has taken eating and drinking Nanyi as a matter of course and right and proper.

This is not a distortion of human nature, but a change of emotion.

Liu Zhen ate two or three by herself, then passed the oil paper bag to the back, and shared it with Zhang Weiguo and Jiang Biyun.

The bus stopped and went from time to time, and when a gust of wind blew, the smoke from the exhaust pipe floated into the compartment. The engine of this car was probably about to be scrapped, and the smell of engine oil was very strong.

Creaking, the bus stopped again, and the driver shouted into the car: "Here we are, we are here, you educated youths get off here."

"Thank you master."

After a while of flying around, the four of them got out of the car with their luggage.

Just as he was thinking of finding someone to ask where the commune was, Nanyi's eyes were shaken for a moment. Following the light, he saw a "huge" five-pointed star on the opposite building.

Looking down, I saw a white sign saying "Shajiaotou Commune" and another one saying "Shajiaotou Educated Youth Office" beside it.

Well, don't look for it!

The staff from the Educated Youth Office exchanged a few formulaic greetings and told them where the four of them would be assigned.

Just like what Nanyi heard, he and Liu Zhen went to Wenchangwei, Zhang Weiguo and Jiang Biyun were separated, Jiang Biyun and Nanyi went together, Zhang Weiguo went to a village not far away.

The staff from the Educated Youth Office shook the phone and told Wen Changwei to come pick him up.

"You guys wait here. After a while, the captain of Wenchangwei will come to pick you up."

"Thank you, Comrade Leader, we'll just go to the door and wait, it won't affect your work."

Sitting in the office, Nanyi and the others will not feel good if others are intimidated by each other, so they might as well go to the door and wait for them to know what they are interested in.

"Go."

Nan Yi took Liu Zhen to the gate of the Educated Youth Office, found a clean place, put the travel bag on the ground, "You sit on it."

"Sit down too, let's squeeze together."

"No, you can just sit and look at your belongings here, and I'll go buy cigarettes."

"Why do you still have to buy cigarettes? Don't you still have two Huazi in your bag?"

Nan Yi leaned into Liu Zhen's ear and said, "I didn't smoke that cigarette by myself, I have to let it go as a favor."

Not only did he bring two Huazi, but he also had two bottles of Feitian Moutai, which were not expensive, costing eight yuan a bottle, just to get the qualification to buy it, and he spent a little time thinking about it.

"Oh, then you go."

"Wait, I'll bring you something to eat."

With that said, he set off with three lunch boxes.

After a while, I found the supply and marketing cooperative, bought a pair of Guangxi and some miscellaneous things, and hurried to the five-star canteen pointed out by the salesman.

At this time, it happened to be meal time, and there were already several guests eating in the cafeteria.

"Master, please bring three bowls of rice rolls, and two more roast goose."

"No roast goose, but yellow beef, do you want it?"

"Stir fry now?"

"Of course, we don't eat stewed beef here."

"How much is it?"

"Two dollars and eight."

"Then cook two for me, master, and I'll take the lunch box for you."

"Six yuan, six taels of food stamps."

"Here." Nanyi ordered some good money, and took out three national food coupons of two taels.

………………

"Nanyi, you're back. This is Captain Xian. He's here to pick us up." Nanyi came back with something, and Liu Zhen happily introduced it to him.

"Hello, hello, Captain Xian, I'm sorry, but I trouble you to come and pick us up."

"You are Nanyi, right? Can you speak vernacular?"

"a little……"

"Let's go, let's talk slowly on the way, the boat is about to leave, and I'm going to pull fertilizer today, so I'll take the three of you along."

"Okay, Captain Xian, let's go."

As soon as he was seated on the boat, Nan Yi took out two packs of Huazi and walked to Xian Yaodong who was steering the boat, "Captain Xian, I didn't bring you any souvenirs, but I brought two packs of Huazi. smoke."

"Oh, Nanyi, how do you say hello? Why are you like this..." Captain Xian blocked Nanyi's hand and said displeasedly.

"Captain Xian, you are old, you are my elder, I call you Uncle Xian... Uncle Xian, this cigarette is my nephew's tribute to you, if you don't take it, you don't recognize me as a nephew."

"Come on, you, you are really a ghost, you have said so, if I don't accept it, it will be my fault."

Xian Yaodong put away the two packs of cigarettes, stuffed one pack in his shirt pocket, opened the other pack, and gave one to Nan Yi, who hurriedly took out the lighter and helped him light it.

The cigarette was smoked, and the flattery was also kissed. Xian Yaodong felt relieved and was willing to speak a few truthful words.

"The three of you are both unlucky and lucky. It's this time, and you still have to jump in line; but fortunately, you came to Wenchangwei. We have no shortage of water, fertile land, and no need to build canals.

As for you, An Anxin stayed here for two years and asked the family to find a way to bring themselves back to the city.

Xian Yaodong pointed to Guide Yi.

"Uncle Xian, don't worry." Nan Yi patted his chest and said, "I don't use my brains, especially on the other side, and I don't even think about going there. I'm not a deserter. If I want to go there, I will follow the army Tangtang is killing the past."

"Okay, good boy, work hard, if there is another quota for workers, peasants and soldiers, I will definitely remember you." Xian Yaodong pointed to the front and said: "Look, there is Wenchangwei in front, and the big house on the far side is the original shrine.

When the educated youth started to come over, it became your educated youth spot, where all the educated youth lived.

It turned out that the educated youth worked together with the members of the brigade. Later, the brigade specially designated a piece of land for the educated youth to be in charge of. "

"Uncle Xian, is it because the members of the commune think that the educated youth can't work?"

"Yeah, those who were assigned in the early years were fine, but those who were assigned in the next few years were no good. There are all sorts of dirty things. We can understand that they can't work. After all, they are from the city. I haven't done farm work before, so I'm just learning a little bit, it's all right.

But some people just want to use their brains, in order to avoid working, they can think of any way.

Those who pretend to be sick, those who slip away, those who rely on their good looks to hook up with girls from the brigade...

I also have no choice, so I set aside a piece of land for you educated youths alone, and I will leave it to you. Now, one of the most capable educated youths only gets eight work points a day. "

"Uncle Xian, don't worry, I'm good at farm work. I don't mix with educated youths, I work with members of the commune. Look, I'm sure I can get ten work points. If I catch up with the harvest, I will get twelve work points. You have to give it to me too."

In general, a middle-aged male labor force in a production team can get ten, twelve or even more work points a day at most, and the excess is actually rewarding.

Women are the most capable, and they can only grow up to eight centimeters a day, unless they have a skill that can generate income for the brigade.

According to local conditions, each brigade basically has its own sideline business, such as hunting, fishing, raising chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cattle and sheep, weaving, burning bricks, bamboo strips, carpentry, etc.

"You kid, aren't you bragging?" Xian Yaodong looked Nanyi up and down.

"It's a donkey or a horse. You'll know when I take a walk. Not only can I work, but I can also bring opportunities to Wenchangwei."

"Opportunity? What opportunity?"

Nan Yi smiled mysteriously, "This, Uncle Xian, we'll talk about it later. Right now, we don't know each other very well, and we can't completely trust each other."

"Okay, you're young, and you're quite methodical in doing things, so I'll wait until you show me the opportunity you mentioned." Xian Yaodong said with a smile.

On the surface, Xian Yaodong looks harmless to humans and animals, but there are definitely many twists and turns in his stomach.

Nan Yi could tell that this Xian Yaodong was definitely not a simple character. It seems that his second pot of gold will fall on this Xian Yaodong.

There are naturally reasons why beef is so expensive. Bao’an is not a pastoral area. Beef and mutton are rare, and the price is already sold for about one piece (dead, I don’t know how long it has been since I came to Inner Mongolia). Yellow beef, local, fresh, may not be seen once a year, not at all. Ordinary people can afford it. understood? Don't move, I don't understand, I asked from the mouths of people who went to Bao'an on business trips at that time, it's not nonsense! so tired!
