Chapter 9: Chapter 71-80

Chapter 71

Zhi Zhi said to the head of the family: "Today, anyway, we are already out, why don't we go for a stroll in the street and go back!" The

head of the house moved his legs, "Let's go!"

She and Zhi Zhi walked side by side After taking a few steps, he looked back at Shouhou, Xu Yongjun, Kong Lanwei, and Lin Xiaoman, and said, "You guys go shopping too, and we'll wait at the pier later."

Zhi Zhi and Da Dangjia walked on the street.

Zhizhi asked casually, "Is this street like this before?"

The head of the family shook his head, "This is a new building. Before liberation, this was wasteland, and it was originally the land of the landlords, but it is full of rubble and there is no way to plant a field. It has been deserted all the time. At that time, the center of the town was on the south side of the island, and the landlord’s house was also there... Later, during the war, the center of the town was bombed to pieces... It was all ruins, and then... ...they simply regarded the south side of the island as a mass grave. After liberation, they were on this side of the island, cleaned up the rocks, and the street now exists." Zhizhi asked again, "

That was the old one . Is the town beautiful, or is the current town more beautiful?"

The head of the family smiled, "Both are beautiful."

After a moment of silence, she said softly: "The town in the past was actually... dilapidated like that, but after all, there is a The house is there, and it’s kind of dilapidated. The town is very different now, but I..." The head of the

family stopped talking.

Zhi Zhi could tell that the head of the family was a little sad.

Zhi Zhi said to the head again: "When we were in the hospital in the morning, the doctor said that Liu Xiaoyun's problem...is gout, which is a disease with a high incidence in Nanling area." "What do you mean?" Zhi Zhi explained, "It's

the

majority Everyone has a disease like Liu Xiaoyun."

"Bullshit!" The head said nonchalantly, "Liu Xiaoyun has a disease of laziness! In the nineteen islands where people live in Nanling, there are lazy people, but I have never seen one as lazy as her. of……"

Zhizhi smiled and said, "I'm talking about arthritis."

"Rheumatism?" the head asked again.

Zhizhi nodded.

This time the big boss was silent.

Nanling Island is close to the sea, and the climate is hot all year round. Spring and summer are hot and humid, winter is cold and humid, and autumn is slightly dry. Among the locals who live here all year round, who doesn't have rheumatism?

Zhizhi sighed softly, "Tangtang, do you also have rheumatism?"

The head of the family said "Yes".

"Everyone has it." The head of the family muttered.

——Especially when people get old, ten old people will suffer from rheumatism, and among them, at least five old people will be disabled and bedridden due to severe deformation of their knees and elbow joints. What's more, there are also those who died of pain.

Zhi Zhi said: "When it's very painful...do you want to ask a doctor to take a look?"

The head of the family stopped talking.

Zhi Zhi said again: "If we are richer than the first production team, and there is a lot of money in the group's account... Then if any member of our production team feels sick, we will send him to see a doctor. We have money in hand. , don’t panic when you see a doctor.”

The leader knew in his heart that Zhizhi was talking about the joint brigade campaign with him in a roundabout way!

But now this topic is also her concern.

"Then what do you think we should do?" said the head of the family, "there is no business now! I used to let them catch fish and sell them in the town, but a lot of people came to persuade me, saying that it was speculative... Oh, anyway, I also I don’t understand, that means that no one is allowed to do business, and

if we break the rules, we will break the rules of others!”

“You think I don’t want to wear cloth shoes or clothes without patches? I don’t want to wash my hair with soap , Don’t you want to eat white flour steamed buns? The main reason is not to sell fish..." said the head.

Zhizhi added, "But let's cultivate the land! Self-sufficiency."

The boss was a little unhappy, "I don't know how to grow!"

Zhizhi smiled helplessly.

The head of the family asked again, "What are the benefits of the joint captain election you mentioned?"

Zhizhi said: "Speaking of it, it's actually Aunt Meihua and the others who don't like the newly appointed Captain Wei, and don't want Wei Da The captain picks peaches..."

"Speaking of it...to be the captain of the joint brigade must be at least a role model for the other eleven brigade captains, and a role model in all aspects. Not only are you better at fishing than them, but you are also better at farming..."

The head pouted, and turned his head aside.

Zhi Zhi sighed, knowing not to act too hastily.

She changed the subject and asked the head of the house with a smile, "Tangtang, what do you think of our new home on Seagull Island?" The

head of the house nodded, "Very good.

" Some people come to help us, okay? Help us repair a few houses, and then let them go back to Justice Island to build a new house?" Zhizhi said.

The head of the family hesitated: "They...won't."

"Eight of us are educated youths, with an average age of nineteen years old! Before we came to Seagull Island, we knew nothing, but we wanted to do this... Then we It was done successfully!" Zhi Zhi said, "...I don't believe it, among the more than 200 people on the island, none of them have worked as masons, stonemasons or carpenters before?" The head fell into deep thought, "I'll go back and ask

them , I’m telling you if I can gather some people to help you.”

Zhi Zhi nodded.

Suddenly the head said, "Someone is looking for you."

Zhi Zhi was startled, and turned her head to see——Li Shu is walking this way in a hurry?

"Zhi Zhi!"

Li Shu, who was wearing a military uniform, came over with a lunch box and handed it to Zhi Zhi, "It's great that you haven't left yet... This is the lunch box I borrowed from you last time, and I will return it to you."

As soon as Zhizhi took it, she felt something was wrong.

——Why is this lunch box so heavy?

Li Shu pressed his hand on the lid of the lunch box to prevent her from opening it, and said with a smile: "I'll watch it when I go back."

After a pause, he asked again, "When are you going back to Seagull Island?"

"That's it." Zhizhi said.

Li Shu nodded and reminded her, "Don't forget the piece of bacon I left with you, next time you come to town, steam a few pieces and bring it to me." Zhizhi hesitated for a while, then nodded

.

Then Li Shu asked her again, "Does your foot still hurt?"

Zhizhi was startled, remembering that she did sprain her foot last night, but now it's already healed.

"It doesn't hurt anymore." Zhi Zhi said.

However, just as soon as she remembered the ankle sprain incident, she remembered last night when she was on Justice Island, Li Shu walked up to her in front of so many uncles and grandpas in his arms... She

blushed , gave him a hard look.

But at this time, Li Shu had already chatted with the head.

"The superior asked me to tell you that tomorrow we will send a surveying and mapping team to Justice Island. We are going to build a radar station on the highest peak..." "     What

is the radar station for?"

Now, the country is going to set up a radar station here

, in case foreign planes fly in and invade us, we can identify it by the radar... I told you last night, remember?" "

You build a radar Will the radar station scare the fish away?"

"No, the radar station controls the sky, not the sea."

"Will it disturb our lives?"

"We will send troops to the island in the future, but try not to disturb you as much as possible... Maybe we need to share a pier, that's about it." "

I'll go with you tomorrow to see if the site you're interested in won't disturb us, That's fine."

"Okay, then tomorrow I will lead people there." Li Shu said.

The big boss hummed.

Zhizhi suddenly remembered something and asked Li Shu, "Li Shu, there is something...I wanted to tell you a long time ago," "

You tell me."

Li Shu seemed in a particularly good mood, with a smile on his face. smile.

Zhizhi said: "That's it... Uh, I wonder how the food in your barracks is?"

Li Shu was taken aback, and replied: "In the morning, it is usually porridge or noodles, and each person is served with a sesame seed cake. At noon, the sesame seed cake is served with Pickles, and a leaf soup. Eat rice at night, and the conditions are not up to date, let's... two vegetarian dishes with rice!"

Zhizhi said: "Can I... the bosses send a batch of fresh vegetables every other day I’ll give you the fish, and then you give them some rice or flour?”

Then she tried to persuade, “Look, Comrade Liu Xiaoyun suffered from gout when he ate fish all the time on Zhengyi Island! What about you? I can’t eat meat either, so... this is not a business, it’s an exchange! Improving the food conditions of the soldiers also improves the food of the residents of Justice Island, I think this is very good!” Having said

that , she was still quite worried that she would not be able to convince Li Shu.

Li Shu has long wanted to do this.

But he can't mention this matter first, he is the People's Liberation Army after all, and he is suspected of taking advantage of the masses by taking the initiative to mention it.

So he pretended to think for a while, and pondered: "I'm just a platoon leader after all... I have to go back and ask our superiors about this matter. By the way, in the name of the twelfth production brigade, you handwritten a situation statement to me , so that what I say to my superiors will be well-founded."

Zhizhi nodded happily, "Okay, I, I'll go back and write right away! I'll send it to you later?"

Li Shu nodded with a smile.

Zhizhi hurriedly dragged the head of the family to the Educated Youth Office.

Li Shu looked at Zhi Zhi's back, grinning from ear to ear—hey, then he has to go back to the barracks quickly! I have to tell those ignorant soldiers first, his partner will be here soon!

Li Shu also turned around, and quickly walked towards the barracks.

The boss was also very happy, "Zhizhi, you have a great idea..."

Zhizhi pursed her lips and smiled, rushed into the Educated Youth Office and finished writing the fact sheet.

She took the explanatory letter, read it from beginning to end, and then read it to Da Dangjia... Both of them felt very satisfied.

Zhi Zhi carefully dried the ink blots on the letter paper, and was about to go to the barracks——

suddenly saw a large group of people approaching this way noisily?

After a long time, Zhizhi heard Hong Hehe's scolding, Li Fen's crying...

and there were several educated youths around them.

Soon, Hong Hehe and Li Fen rushed to the office dragging each other.

Hong Hehe yelled, "Zhizhi, come and see this stinky, shameless bad boy!"

Li Fen was not to be outdone, "Director Wang Xiangyang! Come and see, someone is persecuting proletarian comrades, woooo!"

Zhizhi was so noisy that one head and two big, just in time to see the thin monkey following in the crowd.

She beckoned, called the thin monkey over, handed him the explanatory letter in her hand, and said: "Little monkey, please help me hand this letter to Li Shu! You must hand it to him, you know? "

The thin monkey understood: this letter is very important!"

He took the letter very carefully, turned around and ran towards the barracks while clutching it in his arms.

Chapter 72

Seeing Hong Hehe and Li Fen's quarrel, Zhi Zhi felt a headache.

Wang Xiangyang, director of the Educated Youth Office, was searching for Liu Xiaoyun's materials in the file room at the moment, when he heard the unreasonable commotion outside, he hurried over.

Hong Hehe, with shofar braids on his hips, was yelling at Li Fen, "I tell you, Li Fen! You must pay for today's money!" "

I have no money!" Li Fen cried.

Hong Hehe sneered, "You have no money? If you don't have money, you can borrow it!"

"If you can't borrow it!"

"If you can't borrow it, it will be deducted from your work points!"

"Is it easy for me to earn some work points? If you dare If it is deducted from my work points, then I will... I will die for you!" Li Fen cried loudly.

The educated youths onlookers pointed,

"What's going on?"

"Hehe and the others moved to a new house, and Li Fen went to their place to have a feast without paying them!" "

Then Li Fen is wrong, how could he go to eat No money for the banquet?"

"The point is, Hehe didn't invite her to go, she insisted on going! She stayed there for one night!

" How much! If you have money, you will give two yuan, and if you have no money, you will give one yuan. After eating this feast, you will say that you have no money. This is too cheap!" "

Li Fen is used to taking advantage of small things, Want her to pay? Then she would rather bleed!"

Wang Xiangyang was surrounded by educated youths who watched the fun, and he couldn't squeeze in, but he listened to everyone's discussions.

He roughly understood what was going on, so he yelled, "What's wrong? What's wrong?" The educated

youths onlookers quickly moved out of the way.

As soon as Wang Xiangyang walked into the crowd, Li Fen rushed towards him crying.

"Director! Hong Hehe is a bully!"

Wang Xiangyang was so scared that he took a few steps back, "Stop! Stop! If you have something to say, please don't come here!"

Li Fen stopped crying.

Hong Hehe said loudly: "Director Wang, you came just in time! You commented... We built a new house on Haigull Island, let's have a housewarming party. We didn't invite Li Fen. But she insisted on coming! When we were on the island I just told her, if you want to stay with us to eat, you have to pay for it, but she still ate a lot of our meals... Now I ask her for a share, what's wrong?" Li Fen said

loudly Said: "I have no money!"

"Don't go if you don't have money! Don't eat if you don't have money!" Hong Hehe roared louder than Li Fen, "Besides, do you really have no money? Yesterday I was in When I saw you on the street, didn’t you still pay for fried sweet potato cakes? I didn’t even see you, but you stopped me on purpose, and you still held a lot of one and five yuan The ticket! Didn't you show it to me?"

Li Fen was speechless for a while.

Director Wang, "Li Fen, is what Hong Hehe said true?"

"Anyway, I have no money!" Li Fen cried and emphasized, "It can't be deducted from my work points... We are all brothers and sisters in the proletarian stage Do you have to talk about money? Besides, do you think I want to go to your place? I, I just want to expose... No, no, no, I just want, I want to go and see your place, is it really what you said? , you built a two-story building... Yes, I, I just want to verify it!"

Hong Hehe said sarcastically: "Then you have the face to eat and drink at our place with peace of mind? Huh, let me tell you , You have to take out this money today! Otherwise, you will have more face in the future to go to our place for free!

Get the money quickly!"

Li Fen was told by Hong Hehe, with a face Immediately red like a monkey's butt.

She really thought so - after all, within her vision, the girls' dormitory on Seagull Island and their toilets and shower rooms are really wonderful! She can't wait to live there every day! So she also thought of a way to transfer to Seagull Island... Because of this, she felt that she couldn't lose to Hong Hehe in terms of momentum, lest she would have to look at Hong Hehe's face when she was transferred to Seagull Island .

But why is Hong Hehe so aggressive? !

Li Fen felt guilty and embarrassed.

She suddenly saw Bie Zhizhi.

To be honest, Li Fen is most upset about not being Zhizhi.

Why did Bie Zhizhi become the deputy director and organization officer of the Educated Youth Office? This is a serious job position, with staff and salary! Bie Zhizhi is two years younger than her! Isn't Bie Zhizhi a special kind of thing? Going to the courts, procuratorates and legal centers every day helped Long Qiang, Gao Tiantian and Tao Rongye win the lawsuit... Oh

no, it has nothing to do with her being Zhizhi. !

Including this time, Li Fen did not believe at all that the eight educated youths on Seagull Island built two small buildings under the leadership of Zhizhi... She went to the island to see it because she was not convinced.

I didn't expect...

I didn't expect the living environment on the island to be so good!

Li Fen became even more jealous.

In her cognition, Bie Zhizhi belongs to the category of weak beauties, and Zheng Ping, who escapes labor by being beautiful and weak, can be recognized by Li Fen - Li Fen is willing to approach people like Zheng Ping, because she can Follow the glory, hide from laziness, and take advantage of it.

But don't Zhizhi, she doesn't like oil and salt!

Li Fen bit her lips angrily, looked sideways at Bie Zhizhi, and said in a strange way: "Hong Hehe, you are so arrogant, is it because you and Bie Zhizhi are on good terms? With Bie Zhizhi as the umbrella, it's no wonder You are so confident!"

Hong Hehe jumped three feet high, "You fart! Feel your conscience and ask yourself... Forget it, don't touch it anyway, you don't have a conscience anyway! Ask everyone, what does this have to do with Zhi Zhi ? You ate our banquet, but you came here uninvited. Should you give me money?” The

educated youths onlookers nodded one after another:

“Anyway, it’s also right to give me money for a banquet.”

“You didn’t listen Hehe said, Li Fen was not invited at all, Li Fen went by himself!"

"Then it's even more necessary to give money, and a big one! Otherwise, how can she have face!" "

Hey, forget it , Li Fen has a famous iron cock, she won't give it!"

"Of course Li Fen should give money!"

Zhizhi said, "Hehe, this is not a big deal, Li Fen doesn't want to Give it or not! We can't be as ugly as her!"

Li Fen breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the two yuan was finally saved!

But -

what Bie Zhizhi said made her quite uncomfortable.

Li Fen was about to ask Bie Zhizhi what "doing things so ugly" meant, when he suddenly heard Bie Zhizhi say:

"Hehe, comrades, I believe that Li Fen's actions have a scale in the hearts of comrades, Therefore, I would like to ask everyone to tell other comrades who are not present to pay attention to avoiding pitfalls... Today's incident is regarded as a loss for us on Seagull Island.

" Go to our Seagull Cengfan without saying hello or something... Sorry, there is no food supply! Or whoever wants to go to our Seagull Island Ceng dormitory without saying hello...

It's That's it, let's leave!" Zhizhi said.

Li Fen was stunned, and screamed: "Don't Zhizhi! You, you actually ruined my reputation?"

Zhizhi asked back, "May I tell you which sentence ruined your reputation?"

"You, you said... let them tell each other who was not there! Isn't this destroying my reputation?" Li Fen asked.

She is really anxious.

Zhizhi smiled and said, "Then did you do something shameful? Why are you afraid of people's comments?"

Li Fen, "I, I..."

The educated youths had dispersed in twos and threes.

Zhizhi and Director Wang exchanged a few words and were about to leave—

Li Fen finally knew how to be afraid, and caught up with Bie Zhizhi, "Don't go! No, isn't it just two yuan of money! I'll give it!"

said Then, angrily, she took out a handful of banknotes from her pocket, picked a one yuan note, and stuffed it into Zhi Zhi's hand.

Zhizhi took a step back.

Hong Hehe stepped forward and yelled at Li Fen, "Two yuan!"

Li Fen was bitter, stomped his feet, and took out another one yuan.

Hong Hehe took the two yuan, gave Li Fen a hard look, and then angrily led Zhizhi out.

Li Fen was extremely wronged.

She had never been so angry before!

After a while, Li Fen realized something, and hurriedly chased after her, "Farewell to Zhizhi! Hong Hehe! Tell them quickly, so they don't gossip about me!" But don't Zhizhi and Hong

He He Zao had already gone out of sight.

==

But Li Shu hurried back to the barracks, went to wash his face immediately, shaved his beard carefully in front of the mirror, and tidied up his appearance... The hat was put on, the collar was buttoned, and the epaulettes were adjusted again For a moment...

Da Zhou and several other soldiers sat on the side, looked him up and down, and asked, "Platoon leader, what are you..."

"Well, it's okay." Li Shu tried his best to control his expression, trying to appear calm, "Just... my partner will come later." The soldiers froze, excited

, Discussed:

"What? Does our platoon leader have a date?"

"I don't have a date.

Where did the platoon leader come from?

" There are a lot of educated youths here, maybe they are the female educated youths who came here to jump in the queue!"

Li Shu was proud of himself, looking left and right in the mirror.

"Platoon leader, is Comrade Zhizhi coming?" Da Zhou asked again.

Li Shu said "hmm" again, took off his military cap and combed his hair carefully with a comb.

The corners of Da Zhou's mouth twitched fiercely, "President, your hair...is so short that you can't even comb it! Do you still need to go through this process?" Li Shu was unmoved, "What about me now

? Dress up well, and let her know that I am doing well in the barracks, so she won't worry about me..."

Huh, last time those little bastards laughed at him, saying that he was too hot to shave his head! Today he asked them to open their eyes and take a good look, don't Zhi Zhi will come to the barracks to find him in person!

Da Zhou, "Hey brothers, did you hear that? Our platoon leader will come in a while!" When the

soldiers heard this, they immediately got excited,

"Let's go! Let's go to the door and wait! People will come in a while Let's report to the platoon leader!"

"I haven't seen our platoon leader yet, what does it look like? Does it look good?"

"It's very good-looking! That's right... I heard that she doesn't talk to our platoon leader very much!"

" Let me tell you, it’s actually our platoon leader’s unrequited love! She doesn’t even like our platoon leader!”

“The girl who even our platoon leader doesn’t like...I want to see her too!”

Li Shu was so angry that he wanted to hit someone.

The soldiers ran towards the gate with strange smiles.

Li Shu was funny and angry, he waited anxiously, hoping that Zhi Zhi would come sooner, and also had inexplicable anxiety, worried that she would be delayed by something... At this time, the thin monkey got Zhi Zhi's

assignment , not daring to be negligent, took the letter and rushed to the gate of the barracks, stood still, and then timidly asked the soldiers standing at the gate, "

Excuse me, is Li Shu... in?"

The soldiers stared dumbfounded. Looking at the young man who is as thin as a monkey in front of him.

——I saw that he was at most 1.6 meters tall, and he was so thin that only a few bones remained. In addition, his hair grew beyond his ears, he was born with a sharp mouth, and his eyes were still a pair of inverted triangle soybean eyes?

These soldiers had never seen Zhizhi before.

At that moment, they looked at me, I looked at yours, and finally they all looked at Shouhou.

A soldier bravely asked tremblingly: "Excuse me, you, you are our platoon leader..."

"Yeah!"

The thin monkey tightly clutched the letter in his hand and nodded earnestly.

The soldiers gasped in unison.

One of the soldiers turned around and ran away, "Platoon leader! Your partner is here..."

Skinny Monkey:? ? ?

Da Zhou held his belly and laughed so hard that he couldn't even straighten his waist.

Chapter 73

Zhi Zhi, her friends, and the big master went back to Seagull Island and Justice Island.

Sitting on the small boat, Hong Hehe felt aggrieved, "Hmph, when we decided to come to the 12th Brigade, everyone looked down on us and thought we were faulty! Now that we have repaired the house, we want to come here for a while. Eat and drink to pick the fruits of our labor? Bah, no way!"

Li Qingyu said in a low voice, "Seriously, if someone really wants to join us...will they accept it? Or not?"

Shen Shuhua said: "We must expand the scale. We can't rely on just a few of us. We are building houses and opening up wasteland... To put it bluntly, it is thanks to the fact that we took turns going to the hospital to accompany Rong Ye last month so that we can catch our breath. Otherwise Ah, who can stand such a high-intensity labor!"

Hong Hehe was still very angry, "Even if we expand and accept new people, they can't be people like Li Fen! Also, we don't want people like Liu Xiaoyun! Hmph , Don’t be lazy, don’t be low-minded!”

Regarding this, Zhi Zhi wasn’t worried.

Last time the twelfth brigade took in eight of their educated youths at once, and the head of the group had already lost his temper and went to the educated youth office to lose his temper. So within this year, no new educated youths should be arranged.

The most urgent task is to establish the rules in the small circle first, and use the current eight people to drive the people who will join in the future.

Taking a ten thousand step back, if you really meet someone who is difficult to deal with, wouldn't you still be in charge?

Even the educated youth assigned to her can quit as soon as they say it, and the educated youth office has nothing to do with her...

Isn't that good?

However, Zhizhi still told everyone, "We will not expand enrollment in the short term... At least we will not consider expanding enrollment until all eleven of us have received the project. So before that, everyone has worked hard!

" As soon as the words came out, everyone was happy again.

The head of the family sat aside, quietly watching Zhizhi and her little friends...

She didn't understand where these seventeen or eighteen-year-old boys got so much energy. However, after thinking about it, I feel that this is not a bad thing, young people who are young and young should be like Zhizhi and the others. On the contrary, people like Liu Xiaoyun and Li Fen are the ones that people hate.

Back at Seagull Island, Tao Rongye, who stayed on the island, had already prepared a steaming meal.

Gao Tiantian went to take care of the vegetable garden, Long Qiang, Li Aiguo, Fang Lijuan and Yu Lu went to open up wasteland and haven't come back yet.

At lunchtime, everyone got together to eat, and Zhi Zhi told her to tell the head that she wanted to send some people from Justice Island who knew how to work as masons, stonemasons and carpenters to help them work together.

"I thought about it... We need a warehouse, a large warehouse! Once the various projects are established, we will receive a large amount of crop seeds, chemical fertilizers and other things, it is not acceptable to put them in the open air! Building a bamboo shed and a thatched roof No...if it rains and gets these things wet, it will cause immeasurable consequences..."

Zhizhi held the lunch box and continued to eat while eating: "Of course we can also rely on ourselves... But in this case, what about land reclamation? Professor Lin's cooperation intention on hydroponic crops has basically been finalized! At present We still have two projects on hand, and it is a bit of a clue... So my opinion is that we have to do business in a serious way! Of course, things like repairing warehouses, building new dormitory buildings, and even building new experimental bases are also the same If we have to do it, we can ask someone to help us if we can..."

Everyone nodded.

Zhi Zhi said again: "As for the rewards for hiring people, we can still make big cakes. After all, there is a big boss... But the minimum requirement is that we have to take care of the meals! As for the rewards, we will give them when we have more money

. So, our vegetable garden must be taken care of, after all, we will have to rely on these things to fill our stomachs in the future."     Shen

Shuhua said: "Let me also say a few words! "

"

Shen Shuhua said: "I agree with what Zhizhi said. What I want to add is...Since we need to support ourselves and hire people, how about...we ask the town to bring back some rice seeds and plant some by ourselves. Food rations?”

Zhi Zhi shook her head, “This method is inappropriate... It’s not that I don’t want to be an advanced man. Think about it, if you get the seeds, you have to pay for the food! Now we have to build a house and open up wasteland. When those projects are finalized, we still have to take care of the experimental field first, so how can we still have the strength to cultivate a large area?"

"And it's not that we don't cultivate land. We need to cooperate with scientific research units to develop new crops. As for the matter of getting seeds to grow fields, I also have ideas, but the idea is not yet mature, so let's be ourselves first. What you want to do... It's something you haven't thought about yet, don't panic, and do it after you think it through."

Everyone nodded in unison again.

Shen Shuhua also said: "That's really because I didn't think carefully."

Tao Rongye said: "I agree with Zhi... well, let me say a few words."

Hong Hehe waited for him to say "I agree with Zhi Zhi" Words" After saying this sentence, so as to refute him... As

a result, he stopped in time and stopped talking?

Hong Hehe stared at him.

Others looked at him and smiled.

Tao Rongye blushed a little, and said: "I suggest that everyone form a shift! One person is left in the camp every day to cook, tidy the vegetable garden, clean the dining hall, toilet and bath room, and also feed the pigs, chickens and rabbits ...These jobs are trivial, but they are easier than opening up wasteland and farming. In this case, everyone will take turns to rest, what do you think?" Everyone looks at

me and I look at you, and they all feel good.

——Cleaning the yard, cleaning the toilet, kitchen, and bathroom can be done in half an hour. Threshing hogweed can be done by checking the vegetable garden, crushing fish bones, cooking pig food, and feeding pigs and chickens. It takes about two hours. Cook three meals a day, and spend about an hour for each meal... If you are full of money, you can free up about three hours of free time in the afternoon. At that time, it is good to read and study, and it is also good to sleep late to catch up on sleep.

Everyone nodded.

But Long Qiang immediately looked at Gao Tiantian, with a worried look in his eyes.

Zhizhi sensed Long Qiang's worry, and asked him, "Long Qiang, I think Tao Rongye's words make sense, do you have any other opinions?" Long Qiang was anxious, "I, I have no opinion,

but Sweet she..."

"What's wrong with Tiantian?" Zhizhi asked, "...I think Tiantian is no different from all the educated youths on our island!"

Long Qiang was stunned.

Knowing what he was thinking, Zhi Zhi smiled and said, "Long Qiang, don't worry, I will definitely find a suitable project for Tian Tian."

Long Qiang was stunned, his eyes gradually turned red.

He understood Zhizhi's implication - I will treat Tiantian as a normal person, she is a useful person just like us.

Long Qiang nodded again and again, choked up and said: "Okay, okay...I also agree with Rong Ye's opinion."

Then he said thank you softly.

Gao Tiantian kept her head down to pick up the rice, and her movements were unhurried.

There was a sound of "click" -

Douda's tears jumped out of Gao Tiantian's eyes and dripped into her lunch box.

She picked up the food with her chopsticks, ate it in one bite, and chewed hard.

——She has gained a new life!

The little friends on the island are so kind to her and care about her so much... They don't laugh at her or look down on her like those broken-mouthed people, they are really good for her!

So she must live a good life, study hard, work hard, become a useful person, make those who love her better, and let those who look down on her look up to her in the future!

Chapter 74

One day later, Li Shu took the surveying and mapping team, several leaders of the town, and Director Wang of the Educated Youth Office to Justice Island by boat.

Director Wang heard that Li Shu and the others were coming to Zhengyi Island, so he hitched a ride here.

This matter hit Li Shu's heart, and he quickly brought Director Wang to Seagull Island together.

It was because of the quarrel between Hong Hehe and Li Fen that Director Wang had the curiosity to visit Seagull Island yesterday.

As soon as he came here, he was shocked by the two dormitory buildings, and after visiting the single dormitories, toilets, bathrooms, kitchen and dining hall of the educated youths... the way he looked at Zhizhi changed.

"Zhi Zhi, you did a great job!" Director Wang praised her without hesitation.

Then he said: "Zhizhi, you can even build houses..." Pointing to the large vegetable garden in front of the camp where all kinds of vegetables are growing lushly, he said: "You also planted these vegetables, right? Oh, yes! You have achieved such results in less than half a year since you came here, and you can be selected as labor models!" "The

leaders of the town also went to Zhengyi Island today to mobilize and persuade the 12th brigade to start agricultural production , open up wasteland and farm... Do you think this can be done?" Director Wang asked hopefully.

Zhizhi shook her head, "It's a good thing you didn't go with the town leader now, if you really went... I'm afraid you'll be embarrassed by the boss!" Director Wang was taken aback

.

Zhizhi continued: "But I have my own opinion on this matter. The reason why we moved out from Justice Island next door is to set an example for them to see... we educated youth can rely on our own hands, bit by bit. Let’s turn this deserted island into a granary for the new era!”

Director Wang was overjoyed when he heard that, “Then let’s… start collecting seeds and surveying the land? !"

Zhizhi smiled, "Director, we only have eleven people after all. If we get the seeds back, will the head of the family recognize it... then what should we do? With the strength of our eleven people, how many fields can we plant? ? Don't be self-defeating at that time!"

"This—"

Director Wang showed embarrassment.

He felt that what Zhizhi said made sense.

Zhi Zhi said again: "My idea is to draw it slowly. The leaders of the town have been persuading the big boss for many years, at least ten years, right? How long have they known the big boss, and they haven't succeeded until now. Even if we want to set an example for the big leaders, we have to make achievements ourselves first." "

So, director, I will continue to persuade the big leaders, and I will also lead our group of comrades to make achievements." Some results come. Sooner or later, our twelfth brigade will definitely become an advanced collective!" Zhizhi said.

Director Wang nodded, "I hope so... If you have any difficulties here, please let me know, and I will help you find a solution!" "Thank you,

Director." Zhi Zhi smiled.

Director Wang remembered one more thing, "By the way, Zhizhi, I have one more thing to tell you... about Liu Xiaoyun."

——Liu Xiaoyun is now temporarily living in the dormitory of the educated youth office in the town. Two female educated youths were assigned to take care of her. In less than half a day, the two women came to Director Wang crying when they found out, saying that they didn't want to take care of Liu Xiaoyun anymore.

It turned out that Liu Xiaoyun had been using those two educated youths as servants!

Of course, she may have become grumpy due to illness, but it is friendship for people to take care of her, and no one owes anyone else.

Director Wang rushed to the women's dormitory to reason with Liu Xiaoyun, but in the end,

Liu Xiaoyun was used as a long-term worker to order her to carry feces and urine for a while, and pour water to wash her face and wipe her feet...

Director Wang couldn't stand it anymore, so he hurried to the archives room to find out Liu Xiaoyun's hometown educated youth office contact information, directly dialed a phone number.

The other party told Director Wang: Liu Xiaoyun's family situation is quite special. There are five sisters in her family, and she is the only girl, so she is usually favored at home. At that time, the educated youth signed up to go to the countryside. Everyone guessed that her parents would let one of the four sons go to the countryside. Unexpectedly, her parents actually... signed her up.

According to information obtained through informal channels, although she is the only daughter under her parents' knees, the parents prefer that the strong and laboring son stay with them. It may be that she was deceived by some kind of rhetoric, such as "You go to the countryside first and wait for your parents to make arrangements to pick you up", which made her go to the countryside willingly at that time.

Director Wang told the Educated Youth Office about Liu Xiaoyun's current illness, mainly by reading the medical records according to the script: Liu Xiaoyun has lost his labor force and needs long-term recuperation... and he also told the other party that Liu Xiaoyun's situation has been reported to his

superiors , now waiting for the processing result.

The other party replied: I have been aware of the situation, thank you for the report.

As a result, early this morning, the other party called him back, claiming to be Liu Xiaoyun's mother. She said that she was also a member of the Educated Youth Office. She called to ask Director Wang to take good care of Liu Xiaoyun. When Liu Xiaoyun's transfer order came down, she would send her son to Nanling Town to pick Liu Xiaoyun home.

Director Wang replied: I will take care of Liu Xiaoyun, and I will obey the arrangement of my superiors. You come here with a transfer order, and I will release him here.

Speaking of this, Director Wang shook his head, "It's too..."

Zhi Zhi said nothing.

Li Shu couldn't help but said: "Zhi Zhi, you'd better go to Justice Island right now. I have no other intentions, just thinking that today the town leaders will go to Justice Island again to persuade the boss to farm... and our troops I'm also doing surveying and mapping work there. I'm afraid that the head of the family will get annoyed, and it will be bad if I conflict with everyone."

Zhizhi was stunned.

Director Wang was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Ah, yes, I also heard people say that the town leaders come to the island every year to persuade Tang Tangniang to lead the 12th brigade to plant some crops, but they are driven off the island by Tang Tangniang every year. Go... let's go, Zhi Zhi, let's go and have a look too, I haven't been to Justice Island yet, I heard there are several educated youths there..."

Zhi Zhi went to Justice with Li Shu and Director Wang island.

Just like what Li Shu was worried about, the atmosphere on Justice Island is not very good at the moment.

Several town leaders were sitting with the head of the town, trying to persuade her——

Leader A, "Tang Niang, living by fishing is always dependent on the sky!"

The head of the town said, "Isn't farming just relying on the sky? "

Leader A: ... Leader B, "Farming is better than fishing     . If you live     by fishing,     you will be

hungry if you don't go to sea for a day!" , "Then what if there are no fish in the sea?"     The head of the family said, "If it doesn't rain, there will be fish in the sea. If it doesn't rain, the crops will never be harvested!"     Leader C: ...     Leader D, "Tang Niang, you don't do it for yourself. You have to plan for other people on the island. Look at them, they are getting older and they have to go fishing day and night, what if one day they can't do it     ?"     The head said, "The farmer's Will he stop farming when he gets older?"     Leader D: ...     Everyone can see that the boss has really restrained himself.     But there were also faint signs of anger.     Seeing Zhizhi coming now...

The leaders also knew that the boss had a good relationship with this pretty little girl, so they hurriedly said, "Zhizhi is here? Hey, Zhizhi, you came just in time, hurry up and persuade—" Zhizhi quickly winked at the

leaders wink.

The leaders immediately shut up.

Zhizhi asked Li Shu, "Aren't you going to survey and map?"

Li Shu hurriedly asked the other soldiers, and came back and told Zhizhi, "They will look for suitable places first, and they will choose three to four places, wait for them first. Selected, and when the time comes, I will take the head of the family to see if it is suitable..."

While speaking, several soldiers ran over, "Platoon Li, the selection is almost done, or we will take Captain Tang to see See?"

The boss didn't want to deal with these town leaders at all, so he stood up with a cold face and said to Li Shu: "Let's go and have a look."

Li Shu and the boss followed the soldiers and left.

Zhi Zhi and the town leaders sat down again and chatted with them for a while.

She told the leaders of the town government what she had said to Director Wang before. The leaders nodded after listening. To be honest, they had nothing to do with Tang Tangniang. Even if they came to the island this time, it was a routine, and they had already given up any hope... After all, they tried to persuade Tang Tangniang two or three times a year, but they never received her good looks.

And this time, hearing Zhizhi say that she will lead Justice Island by example?

The leaders are happy.

——Although the matter of letting the 12th brigade grow crops is still far away, the appearance of Zhizhi finally gave this matter a new development.

This is a good thing.

Immediately, the leaders chatted - because they came with the army's ship, and they had to wait for the army to finish their work before they could go back to the town with the ship.

The topic that the leaders talked about was the election of the joint captain.

Leader A, "This time Wei Datong (Wei Dacheng's cousin) has a very high chance of winning!"

Leader B, "He just picked Wei Dacheng's peach...Wei Datong has only been in office for a month, and he is still an agent. The team leader himself doesn’t have any political achievements, but this time he is really lucky. If he can take this opportunity to be elected as the team leader of the joint team... I’m not going to put it bluntly. First, I’m afraid that he doesn’t have the experience to lead other production teams. Let’s make progress together, and the second is that Tang Niang’s support is higher than his, so I’m worried that the one who wants to be on stage won’t have enough influence, and the one who has more influence doesn’t want to be on stage...it won’t be good if it affects the unity.” Leader

C To put it more bluntly, "If Wei Datong comes to power, I'm afraid Xiao Tang (the head of the family) will have to wear shoes!" Leader D, "     Isn't it

?"

exist.

But Zhizhi knew that this was their reminder to her!

——It was she who fought hard with the head of the family to send Wei Dacheng's family to prison. Wei Datong inherited Wei Dacheng's political legacy. If he did not contribute to Wei Dacheng, those who supported Wei Dacheng and turned to support him could not agree.

She pretended not to understand what the leaders were discussing, and ran around asking Xu Yongjun for some tea, which she made for the leaders.

About two hours later, Da Dangjia and Li Shu came back.

Zhizhi hurriedly asked: "Have you chosen a good place?"

The head of the family hummed, then turned to look at Li Shu, "I'll start with my ugly words, if your radar station is built, we won't be able to find it." When the fish arrive, I will dismantle this radar station for you later!"

Li Shu smiled wryly, "No way!"

After a pause, he asked again: "You guys are not fishing near this island, are you? ?”

The master ignored him.

She was very unhappy today, so she chased people away with a cold face, "It's okay, you go!"

Suddenly remembered something, and called Zhizhi again, "Zhizhi, stay here! Didn't you say yesterday that there is a shortage of masons, carpenters and stonemasons? I found you. You can meet them later and talk to yourself! "

Zhizhi responded crisply.

The boss asked again, "You came alone? Is there a boat to go back?"

"The little monkey came with me, maybe he went to play somewhere else right now." Zhizhi said.

The head of the house gave a "hmm" and said again: "I asked Xu Yongjun to raise a few fish. Ask him for it when you leave." After she finished speaking,

she directly closed the door of the Hall of Justice with a "bang".

Several leaders couldn't help smiling wryly when they saw her so blunt. But seeing that she treats Zhizhi so well, he thought to himself that maybe the little girl Zhizhi could change Justice Island?

The leaders looked at Zhizhi with eager eyes.

Therefore, the leaders scrambled to explain to Zhizhi, telling her to lead by example, to take the lead, and lead the 12th brigade to a prosperous life of planting crops and being self-sufficient... Zhizhi nodded repeatedly

.

Until he left, Li Shu didn't have a chance to say a few words to Zhi Zhi alone.

He wanted to question her, didn't he already promise her to come to the barracks to find him yesterday? Why did you become a skinny monkey again?

He also wanted to ask her, was the candied chestnut he gave her delicious yesterday?

And, there is one very important thing that he didn't have time to tell her - he is about to accept the assignment to be stationed on Justice Island, to guard the radar station on Justice Island and the lighthouse on Seagull Island... But - right now, he

did

n't Opportunity to speak to her personally.

Li Shu was extremely wronged and resentful.

Chapter 75

Another month passed in the blink of an eye.

A lot has happened recently.

——For the educated youths on Seagull Island, earth-shaking changes have taken place this month.

First of all, the project of Zhi Zhi and Long Qiang has been formally established. Zhi Zhi and Long Qiang each need an experimental field, that is, a greenhouse. But now there is no condition to build a greenhouse on the island, so everyone held a meeting to discuss how to deal with the greenhouse.

According to the teaching materials, the greenhouse needs to meet several points: constant temperature, heat preservation, sufficient light, and a relatively closed environment to block external invasions such as diseases and insect pests.

According to these points, everyone thought of a way: first use bricks to build a wall with a height of about 1.2 meters, build wooden pillars on the wall, and use Gaotiantian woven hollow bamboo fences between the wooden pillars as " window". The most difficult thing is the ceiling... Seagull Island has excellent lighting. If the greenhouse is built with a roof, the sunlight will not come in; if the roof is not built, it will easily cause water loss.

But this problem has also been discussed by everyone, trying to overcome it.

They use a semi-enclosed ceiling, that is, every two meters or so, they put up a wooden roof with a width of about one meter. The wooden roof is fixed and cannot be moved, and the hollowed out parts are replaced by thatched roofs. During the day, when the sun is shining, people take long pennies to remove the movable thatched roof so that the sun can shine in. In the evening, I used a long penny to put the thatched roof back...

Although it was a bit laborious, the greenhouse was installed anyway!

Secondly, Zhizhi got in touch with Professor Lin who was in charge of "hydroponic crops". For this reason, Zhizhi also went to the post office of the town several times, spent huge sums of money and made several phone calls with Professor Lin, and the two initially reached several agreements: First, Seagull Island will help Professor Lin do scientific research on hydroponic crops and establish a scientific research base And the laboratory, one is that Professor Lin recruited Gao Tiantian as an assistant and student, one is that Professor Lin needs to provide seagull island with at least twice the amount of plant seeds, fertilizers, etc. used in the experiment, and needs to use the data in the third phase of the experiment After coming out, provide financial subsidies to Seagull Island.

The reason why Zhizhi gave this opportunity to Gao Tiantian was because Professor Lin was also a woman. After hearing Zhizhi talk about Gao Tiantian's situation, she felt very sympathetic to this poor girl who was ingenious and clever.

The other educated youths were also happy for Gao Tiantian.

Gao Tiantian cried several times behind her back, and secretly became ruthless. After finishing the high-intensity labor during the day, she would light a candle at night, carefully read the textbooks sent to her by Professor Lin, take notes carefully, and write down what she didn't understand. After spending several days gnawing through the entire book, she sent the notes she made on the book to Professor Lin, asking the teacher to clarify her doubts.

Professor Lin received Gao Tiantian's letter and was very shocked!

On the one hand, she didn't expect that the child would finish the whole book in just a few days, and when she looked carefully at Gao Tiantian's notes, Professor Lin could see that Gao Tiantian had put in a lot of effort, and she immediately I will answer the questions for Gao Tiantian, and at the same time learn about Gao Tiantian's shortcomings, and find some books for her, and send them back together with the answers...

Seeing Gao Tiantian's enthusiasm for learning, Zhizhi and Long Qiang also felt quite pressured, and the two of them also made a study plan and began to study hard.

The other educated youths were even more jealous.

However, Zhi Zhi, Long Qiang and Gao Tiantian didn't hide anything. They put all their textbooks in the study room for everyone to read.

So in order to save candles, everyone simply sat in the reading room together after dinner every day, and even discussed the knowledge in the books together...

There are two other things that make the educated youths very happy. Letters from two

scientific research institutions.

One is engaged in marine farming. To put it bluntly, it is the cultivation of economical edible sea fish and shellfish; the other is for research on hybrid fruit and vegetable varieties... The other educated

youths are both excited and nervous.

With anticipation in mind, they worked hard during the day to earn rations for themselves, and also worked hard to open up wasteland and build greenhouses for experimental fields; they also studied hard at night-although Zhizhi has not assigned projects to them yet, Yiduo is not burdened!

At the same time, Zhizhi and the others also invited six or seven uncles and grandpas from Justice Island next door to help them burn bricks, build warehouses, and other small dormitory buildings.

It has to be said that the old style is the old style. Although the youngest of these uncles and grandpas is in their forties, and the oldest is in their sixties, their house-building skills are much better than those little boys like Shen Shuhua! Physical strength and endurance are also ten thousand times stronger than those of young people!

After more than a month, Zhizhi and the others have harvested an extremely spacious one-story warehouse of 1,000 square meters, plus a small dormitory building that is about to be built for themselves... In the following days, these uncles and

grandpas We will continue to help Zhizhi build warehouses, build more dormitory buildings and more greenhouses.

These uncles and grandpas also found it strange. When they stayed on Justice Island, they came back every morning, slept until noon, lazily finished their meal and went fishing... They felt tired here and there, and sighed all day long. .

But after I came to Seagull Island to help the young people burn bricks, dig foundations, and build houses, they got up at dawn every day to work until dark, and they didn’t feel tired, and it was very easy to pass the time! Whoosh, it was dark. After working all day, I can eat hot soup and rice full of food and sleep soundly at night. My arms, waist and legs are sore...all the problems are gone!

What Zhizhi promised them was a salary of three yuan a month for each person, plus three meals a day.

Uncles and grandpas are not very interested in money or wages, but they are very interested in the food on Seagull Island-they can do everything, and they are better than these young people; in terms of cooking, they are absolutely Not as good as the young ones.

Even young people work hard, doing heavy work every day and still can’t eat meat, so these uncles and grandpas have to go out to the sea with a harpoon every once in a while to spear a few fish and come back, so that everyone can get some meat together. .

This month, not only Zhizhi and the others have undergone tremendous changes, Li Shu has also been busy around.

First of all, Seagull Island needs to build a lighthouse, and Justice Island needs to build a radar station. Li Shu, as the army stationed on the island, did not worry much after the engineers arrived at Shuangdao and started construction.

Furthermore, he had performed several missions in the Special Forces before, and the completion rate was particularly good, and now he has been rewarded. According to the original award, he could be directly promoted to the military rank, but he changed the branch again. His current military rank is second lieutenant, and his corresponding position in the army is platoon leader. So the superior promoted him to lieutenant, and he would be promoted again in the future depending on his military merits.

Li Shu was not worried.

He has been promoted to lieutenant at the age of twenty-one this year, so his official career is smooth.

And what makes him the happiest is... as long as the dual stations are built, he will be able to see Zhi Zhi every day.

right! At that time, he will live in the camp near the lighthouse. This camp is facing the rear window of Zhi Zhi's small dormitory building, and the distance between the two places is about a hundred meters. If she was in the room at night and had a candle lit, he could see it from the camp!

Hey Hey.

For this reason, Li Shu felt refreshed, and had already decided that after the military dormitory was built, he had to choose a room where he could see the window of Zhizhi's dormitory!

As for

Director Wang of the Educated Youth Office, this month's experience was... almost bored him to death! He encountered a very difficult matter. Since Zhi Zhi was also the deputy director of the Educated Youth Office, he was called to the town several times by Director Wang.

It's mainly Liu Xiaoyun's business.

After Liu Xiaoyun suffered from gout at a young age, Liu's mother was also a member of the Educated Youth Office. When she heard the news, she reported to her superiors and wrote a touching letter, hoping to take Liu Xiaoyun home to rest her body.

In the end, the superior agreed to the request.

So Mother Liu hurriedly sent her eldest son and daughter-in-law to Nanling Town to pick Liu Xiaoyun up. Unexpectedly, the first time Brother Liu saw his sister, he exclaimed, "Oh my God! How did you become so fat and ugly? How do you get married?"

Everyone was stunned.

Mrs. Liu tugged at the corner of her husband's clothes, and said to Liu Xiaoyun with a smile, "Don't listen to your brother, he lost his head in the car." Then she said a lot of concerned words to Liu Xiaoyun.

The next day, Liu Xiaoyun left with his parents.

When Liu Xiaoyun left, Director Wang didn't have any thoughts, he just felt relieved that he finally gave away a big Buddha.

Unexpectedly, half a month later, Liu Xiaoyun suddenly came back with a haggard face and a dusty face? !

She cried and said to Director Wang: "Director, my family members...all are not human! Wuwu they want to pick me up, in fact, it is because my third brother is going to marry a wife, and the family has no money to buy three big things, so they just buy three things. He wanted to force me to marry, and used my dowry to add three big things to my third brother! My mother thought that the young man I was looking for thought that I was fat and sick, so he didn't want to marry me. My mother gave me I found another family, a widower in his forties with four children! Just because the other party was willing to give my mother four hundred yuan!" "

I refused to marry this person, but my mother... took me I got cheated into the man's house, I pretended to be sick and ran back to my mother's house, and then my mother said, I don't want to go to the man's place, forget it, and hide me at home, she sued the man... saying that I have slept with the man When I realized it, I was already his, and he couldn't keep me, so he asked me to divorce him, and the bride price would not be refunded!"

"I thought my mother was so kind! As a result... I overheard her whispering to my sister-in-law, and then I realized that our family received another order to go to the countryside. My mother was willing to take me in... because she wanted to I will go to the countryside instead of my fourth brother! My God, my mother loved me very much before, how could this happen!"

As he spoke, Liu Xiaoyun burst into tears, and then said: "Director, I also figured it out, instead of staying In that den of wolves and tigers, being betrayed again and again, I might as well choose a place that treats me well and go to the countryside to jump in the queue! Director, please send me to Justice Island, this time I will never come back again The city is gone!"

She cried and told Director Wang that she had no letter of introduction and no money along the way, so she could only rely on the coal train to evade inspections again and again, and it took a lot of effort to get there. Arriving here...

Director Wang hurriedly informed Liu's family and the Educated Youth Office where Liu Xiaoyun's household registration is located. Liu Xiaoyun had already arrived in Nanling Town...It was only then that he realized that Liu's family had reported to the police, and then Liu Xiaoyun was sent to the police station for investigation...Liu

Xiaoyun The Educated Youth Office at the place where the household registration is located sent a letter to Director Wang, informing Director Wang and ordering Liu Xiaoyun to rush to the new location as soon as possible to jump in the queue. Liu Xiaoyun broke down just now, saying that she would not go to other places to jump in line if she died, she just wanted to go to Justice Island! She was born as a person of Justice Island, and died as a ghost of Justice Island! She also cried and begged Director Wang to tell the head to pick her up immediately.

Director Wang was pissed off by her.

But seeing Liu Xiaoyun swearing that the boss is a good person, the boss will definitely save her... If Director Wang doesn't pass on the word, he will force her to die... Director Wang really has no choice but dare not ask the

boss

face to face, so he persuades Zhi Zhi Zhi Zhi helped pass the message.

As a result, the next day, the head of the family took Xu Yongjun and Kong Lanwei aggressively to the educated youth office in the town.

The boss brandished his whip and scolded Director Wang, "Do you think Justice Island is a cesspit? All shit and urine are dumped here? Didn't I tell you earlier? An educated youth is worthy of you... What else do you want? Let me say it again, if you dare to mention sending an educated youth to me, I will smash your educated youth!"

As he said that, the big boss waved his whip three times.

A whip broke a small tree as thick as the arm of a strong man, a whip directly smashed the half-meter-high flower base built of red bricks, and a whip slammed a deep hole on the gravel ground... ...The raised dust covered Director Wang and Liu Xiaoyun's face!

The big boss left angrily.

Director Wang breathed a sigh of relief, and Liu Xiaoyun was stunned,

and she burst into tears.

She couldn't believe that the always kind and tolerant head was so ruthless!

Director Wang was too annoyed, too lazy to give Liu Xiaoyun a good face, he gave Liu Xiaoyun the transfer order, letter of introduction and train ticket, and ordered her to leave Nanling Town within the time specified in the transfer order, or call the police!

Liu Xiaoyun cried to death.

She suddenly thought of Zheng Ping——Zheng Ping was also arranged by her superiors to jump in the queue at the frontier farm with the most difficult conditions because of her bad conduct. Zheng Ping married in a hurry in order to avoid assignment. Then marrying in Nanling is better than letting her go to a strange place!

So, can she learn from Zheng Ping?

Liu Xiaoyun hurried to find Zheng Ping.

What she didn't expect was that Zheng Ping was pregnant and locked at home by her husband. As soon as Liu Xiaoyun left, Zheng Ping asked her to buy her some pastries, otherwise don't talk to her about anything.

In desperation, Liu Xiaoyun had no choice but to take out the money stolen from her mother, buy a dozen candies, and stuff them in through the gap in the window of Zheng Ping's house. After Zheng Ping ate the candy, she asked Liu Xiaoyun to go to the chicken coop behind the house.

— there was a small window there, and the two might meet and talk through the chicken coop.

Liu Xiaoyun was startled by Zheng Ping!

In my impression, Zheng Ping is a beautiful female educated youth, but the Zheng Ping in front of her is unkempt, her skin is rough and dull, and she is also swollen and fat! How can this still be the western and pretty Zheng Ping? She is a peasant woman through and through!

Zheng Ping was also taken aback by Liu Xiaoyun!

The two met when the educated youth held a study seminar. In Zheng Ping's impression, Liu Xiaoyun was a girl with delicate features and a little plump.

But this short, dark, fat and ugly woman in front of her is really Liu Xiaoyun?

The two of you stared blankly at me and I at you, and asked in unison:

"Are you... Zheng Ping?"

"Liu Xiaoyun, why did you become like this?"

Chapter 76

Liu Xiaoyun looked at Zheng Ping and remained silent for a long time.

Does she really want to ask Zheng Ping for help? But Zheng Ping seemed too busy to take care of herself—yes, Zheng Ping used the method of getting married to stay in Nanling Town. How high-spirited Zheng Ping was before!

Now?

Zheng Ping's face was waxy and swollen, her hair was greasy, and her tone of voice and movements seemed unbearably rude.

She has been married for... more than three months, right?

How did it become like this?

Liu Xiaoyun asked herself in her heart: If the price for letting you stay in Nanling is to become like Zheng Ping, would you like it?

unwilling!

Liu Xiaoyun was in a dilemma.

Zheng Ping stared at Liu Xiaoyun for a long time.

She is very clear that now she has become the laughing stock of the educated youths.

But Liu Xiaoyun suddenly came to her, even willing to buy her candy? Look at Liu Xiaoyun's appearance again...

Zheng Ping thought quickly.

—— Needless to say, Liu Xiaoyun must have encountered a difficult situation!

Then what kind of trouble did Liu Xiaoyun encounter and come to find her?

Zheng Ping rolled her eyes, wondering if... Liu Xiaoyun also made a mistake and was ordered to be transferred to another place? But she also didn't want to leave Nanling Island, so she wanted to come to her to find a way.

Liu Xiaoyun wants to learn from her and find a local to marry?

Zheng Ping immediately said affectionately: "Xiaoyun, come into my house, let's have a good chat!"

Standing here, Liu Xiaoyun was almost fainted by the smell of chicken excrement in the chicken coop!

In fact, she didn't want to ask Zheng Ping for help anymore, but she felt sorry for the money she gave Zheng Ping to buy candy, so she said: "There is a padlock at the door of your house, I can't get in! That, Zheng Ping, I'll go first , next time your house is not locked, I will come again!"

Zheng Ping hurriedly said: "Go to the main door. There is a stool next to the door. You can reach out and feel under the stool to find the key. Xiaoyun, come to my house and talk with me. I'll make a cup of malted milk for you." You! Also, my chickens can lay eggs, and we have too many eggs to eat, come in quickly, and I will spread an egg pancake for you!" Liu Xiaoyun wanted to leave at first, but when he

heard Is there malted milk to drink and egg pancakes to eat?

She traveled all the way, and she hadn't had a good meal this year, so she was so hungry that she went to the main entrance again, and sure enough she took out a key from under the bench and opened the lock on the iron buckle. padlock.

The door opened.

Liu Xiaoyun saw Zheng Ping standing at the door.

——Looking from the window just now, I couldn't see clearly at all. Now that she and Zheng Ping were standing face to face, she realized... Zheng Ping might have gained a lot of weight because of her pregnancy, and the clothes on her body were also tattered, and even looked old and dirty!

Liu Xiaoyun couldn't help it, and said, "Zheng Ping, why did you become like this?"

However, what answered her was a clothes stick!

"Bang!"

Zheng Ping hit Liu Xiaoyun's head viciously with the clothes pounding stick!

Liu Xiaoyun shook and fell limply to the ground.

Zheng Ping looked at Liu Xiaoyun with a ferocious expression, panting heavily.

At the moment Liu Xiaoyun touched the key to unlock it, Zheng Ping thought a lot.

——Tell Liu Xiaoyun about her current situation, and let Liu Xiaoyun take her to escape?

No, she can't trust Liu Xiaoyun.

What if Liu Xiaoyun just came to see her having fun? What if she wanted to run away, but Liu Xiaoyun made a public announcement and called her

man 's relatives... What if she was arrested again?

No, her fate must be in her own hands.

Zheng Ping took a deep breath.

She first ran to the door and closed it, then dragged Liu Xiaoyun to the inner room with great difficulty, dragged Liu Xiaoyun to the bed, and then began to search for things in the pockets of Liu Xiaoyun's clothes and trousers.

Well, everything was rummaged out.

——There are more than seventeen yuan, a transfer order, a letter of introduction and a bus ticket? ? ?

Zheng Ping laughed strangely.

She really guessed it right!

I just don't know what happened to Liu Xiaoyun to be sent to such a remote place!

Hehe, Liu Xiaoyun thinks this place called "Tazhou" is far away?

Zheng Ping does not dislike it.

Although Zheng Ping didn't know where Tazhou was at all.

But she felt that no matter where she went, she would be better off than staying here!

Zheng Ping quickly took off Liu Xiaoyun's clothes, then took off her own clothes and exchanged them with Liu Xiaoyun. She bound Liu Xiaoyun's hands and feet with cloth strips, and stuffed a worn sweatshirt into Liu Xiaoyun's mouth...

Next, she rummaged through the boxes and chests to wash away all the family's money, and put two more on her body Clothes, took a piece of cloth to cover most of the head, and quickly went out the door.

Zheng Ping locked the padlock again, stuffed the key under the small bench at the door, and left without looking back.

She knew very well that her husband was jealous, fierce and mean.

He beat her to death for making a few more jokes about her with the young men in the village! He kept her at home, treating her as a tool for lust and reproduction! She can't live a day like this!

Now Liu Xiaoyun, the dead ghost, comes to the door automatically...

If you don't run away now, when will you wait?

Zheng Ping knows her husband too well—a man only wants a wife, and it doesn't matter who the wife is. For example, she married him for more than four months and did not speak more than forty sentences to him! There is no common language between her and him at all, he simply treats her as his personal property, and can lock her up for three whole months without letting her leave the room!

Even if he realizes that she has run away, there is still Liu Xiaoyun!

He is not stupid, he must know that if Liu Xiaoyun is released, he will have no wife, so he will definitely not say anything, and will keep Liu Xiaoyun locked up... As long as Liu Xiaoyun is kept locked up, Zheng Ping can hold Liu Xiaoyun's Transfer orders, letters of introduction, and train tickets pretending to be Liu Xiaoyun, at least get out of here first.

Where to settle in the future, let's figure out a way when the time comes!

Zheng Ping hurried towards the entrance of the village.

Fortunately, it was the time to go to work in broad daylight, and the village was quiet. Zheng Ping looked around all the way, carefully avoiding people, and left the village quickly.

She knew that there were many educated youths in Nanling Town and many villagers who knew her. If her man finds out that she has escaped... He will look for her quietly even if he is looking for this lump of meat in her stomach.

—He would not say anything, because he was not sure if he could get her back. If he could get her back, he would let Liu Xiaoyun go. If he couldn't find her back, if he gave up, he would regard Liu Xiaoyun as his wife.

But now that she has a big belly and obvious features, she dare not go out on the street or ride in a car, in case she is recognized...

No, she cannot be recognized.

She will not go back even if she dies!

Zheng Ping hesitated again and again, and walked towards the Educated Youth Office.

——The Educated Youth Office is actually the original Nanling Town High School. There are two three-story teaching buildings, one two-story teacher's office building, and two rows of one-story houses used as warehouses to store desks and chairs that need to be repaired

. Sporting goods and other miscellaneous items.

A mere Educated Youth Office does not need so many empty rooms, so only two teaching buildings were requisitioned to be used as dormitories for boys and girls.

Zheng Ping's goal was the utility room of the two rows of bungalows.

==

This is the first winter that Zhizhi and her friends spent in Nanling.

Warm winter.

No, not right!

It is winter that is no different from summer.

The temperature during the day is about 278 degrees, and it is cooler at night, about 20 degrees.

When the educated youths worked during the day, they were still exposed to the scorching sun and were sweating profusely every day.

In the blink of an eye, Zhizhi and the others have been here for half a year, and it will soon be New Year's Day.

In the entire Nanling, except for the residents of Zhengyi Island who have to go fishing every day, most of the other production brigades mainly focus on farming. Although the winter is warm and hot, it is also a slack time for farming (except for the educated youths on Seagull Island who are doing infrastructure construction). So the Educated Youth Office of Nanling Town planned to hold a New Year's Day cultural performance, and set up first, second and third prizes for groups, first, second and third prizes for individuals, and all participating groups or individuals would be awarded excellence awards.

Of course, this matter was mainly initiated by Director Wang Xiangyang.

However, Zhizhi, as an organization officer of the Educated Youth Office, did not run errands for this matter.

The staff of the Educated Youth Office worried about the first, second and third prizes for the group and the first, second and third prizes for the individual, and lost a lot of hair—of course they were worried about the prizes.

Mainly because of poverty.

After the registration deadline passed, the Educated Youth Office got the registration forms of the educated youths and began to count the number of people.

There are nearly 600 educated youths on Nanling Island, and this time there are 200 people who will participate. The performances include chorus, dance, stage play, poetry reading and so on.

Director Wang took Zhizhi and the others to open the warehouse of the Educated Youth Office, and counted them one by one according to the highest number of participants... Finally, the prizes were decided.

As long as you participate, the prize will be a towel printed with "Nanling Educated Youth Commemoration". There are more than 400 pieces in stock, which is quite rich; the third prize has prepared 100 pieces of soap; the second prize has prepared 100 caps enamel mugs; the first prize is fifty water bottles!

Then Zhizhi suggested that it is best to take a photo of each participating team and individual!

Everyone thinks it is good, but taking pictures is very expensive. How can the Educated Youth Office have the strength to hire a state-run photo restaurant? Zhi Zhi gave Director Wang a trick.

"Director, please contact the newspaper office! Ask the reporter to take pictures for us. Firstly, the reporter has the material to report, and also showed the outside world the demeanor of our Nanling educated youth; secondly, we also have photos that can be kept as a lifetime commemoration. Isn't this pretty good?"

Director Wang slapped his thigh, "You're still smart!"

So Director Wang contacted again and again.

For the educated youths on Seagull Island, now is the time when they are too busy to touch the ground!

After all, the project at hand has to be started after the Chinese New Year. So now, on the one hand, everyone is frantically opening up wasteland and planting land to ensure rations, and on the other hand, they are desperately building infrastructure, repairing warehouses, small dormitory buildings, and greenhouses...

As for whether to participate in the art performance, everyone has a heated discussion. , decided to participate!

Work must be done in a relaxed manner.

The program they participated in was a male and female chorus "Singing Brother Zhishan for the Party", and all the educated youths on Seagull Island participated.

For this reason, everyone gathers together to practice for

about half an hour after breakfast, lunch and dinner every day.

Now that you have decided to participate in the competition, you must have a competition appearance and uniform costumes!

Thinking that Director Wang would invite a reporter from Lin City, where the provincial newspaper is located, to take pictures for everyone, so in order to highlight the special hot winter of Nanling, the girls unanimously asked to wear uniform skirts!

And the requirement is a skirt that can be worn out at ordinary times!

Then the question arises, now there are six girls on the island, how to prepare uniform skirts?

Gao Tiantian was the first to speak, "Cloth! I can make clothes...Give me enough cloth, a soft ruler, needle and thread, and a thimble, and I can make one in two days! If you can help cut and sew As for the cloth feet, one piece a day is fine!"

Hong Hehe was in a dilemma, "But how do we tear the cloth? We can't make a dress with four feet of cloth? A bigger skirt would be six feet! Don't say we don't have any cloth at all. Tickets, even if you get cloth tickets, the supply and marketing cooperatives in the town may not have so many floral cloths of the same color!"

Li Qingyu said in a low voice: "If we have a cloth ticket, I don't want to talk about cloth at the supply and marketing cooperative in the town... This supply and marketing cooperative is too small, there are always only one or two kinds of floral cloth, and it is not good-looking! The streets are full The old and the young all wear those two kinds of floral cloth, so we can't go to places farther away...for example, the supply and marketing cooperative in the city pulls cloth?"

Fang Lijuan said: "I agree with Qingyu, let's go to the city to find flowers Cloth, I want that kind of beautiful floral cloth!"

Yu Lu said, "Wake up! We don't have a cloth ticket..."

Everyone was a little disappointed.

Tao Rongye left in a hurry, then came back in a hurry, and put a "Ershichi" cloth ticket on the table, "I have a cloth ticket, but not many... let's make do with it!" All the educated youths stared at

that After looking at the cloth tickets for a while, they all left their seats. After a while, everyone contributed all the cloth tickets in their hands.

Zhi Zhi had the most cloth tickets, and she had ten two-foot cloth tickets!

In fact, the six tickets were temporary tickets given by her second brother before she left home. As soon as she came to Nanling Island... mainly because she thought that it was useless for her to tear the cloth and the clothes were enough, so she added a little money to find them. Scalpers give a long-term redemption period. The remaining four cards were given to her by Li Shu a few times ago.

Everyone counted the cloth tickets together, and they were all two feet in denomination...

Gao Tiantian muttered to the side, a girl's dress at least had four feet of cloth, like Hong Hehe For a taller and fitter girl, it is estimated that a five-foot cloth is enough.

These cloth tickets are only enough to make dresses for four girls.

Zhi Zhi gave everyone an idea, "Why don't we each make a skirt? It looks good with a white shirt on top and a skirt underneath. The most important thing is that everyone has a white shirt!" Everyone's eyes widened

. Bright!

This is a good idea!

Zhizhi added, "But I think gay men should also buy new clothes, and they also contributed cloth tickets! They also want to participate in the competition!"

Everyone nodded.

Tao Rongye said: "No, no, black trousers and a white shirt are enough for our men."

Li Aiguo asked in a low voice: "Then do we need long-sleeved or short-sleeved white shirts? Is my white shirt long-sleeved or short-sleeved?" Sleeves."

Chen Yuejin, "I also have long sleeves."

Shen Shuhua, "I only have short sleeves."

Long Qiang, "I don't have a white shirt..."

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Hong Hehe also hurriedly asked: "Then we girls also need to have uniform white shirts? I only have long-sleeved white shirts."

Zhizhi said, "I have both long and short sleeves!"

Li

Qingyu said, "I only have one A short-sleeved shirt."

Fang Lijuan, "I only have a short-sleeved shirt."

Yu Lu, "I only have a long-sleeved shirt but...it's turned yellow."

Gao Tiantian, "I don't have a white shirt..."

Zhi Zhi Fu forehead.

Everyone was a little discouraged.

Tao Rongye said in a low voice: "Then...how about we wear blue workers' uniforms? It's the ones sent by Zhizhi's family. That is the most uniform uniform.

" Do you still want to wear that for work?"

Zhi Zhi also said, "It's been a long time to be on stage, let's dress brighter!"

Tao Rongye fell silent.

Yu Lu looked at Zhizhi, and said in a low voice, "I, I have an immature idea... I, I say it, everyone listen to it, if it's not suitable, just pretend I didn't say it." "Let's listen to it.

" .” Zhizhi said.

Yu Lu, "I heard that there is a black market near the train station in the city, can we... go to the black market to earn some money, and then give each of us new clothes?" Zhizhi has long wanted to do this

.

She didn't say it all the time because she was thinking about what to do to make money quickly.

Almost as soon as Yu Lu finished speaking, Hong Hehe couldn't wait to say: "After earning money, our women will each have a long-sleeved white shirt and a half-length floral skirt. As for the men, only one A long-sleeved white shirt and a pair of black trousers!"

Li Qingyu was a little worried, "What if we don't make any money? What if...we just earned money to buy cloth, and people asked us where we got the money to make new cloth? What about the clothes? How should we answer? Are we going to say...we are going to speculate and reckless?"

Hong Hehe wondered: "We use the cloth tickets we saved and the cloth we bought with money to make the clothes! We use our personal Money is a collective job, this is our awareness! Besides, if you don’t tell me, I won’t tell you, and no one in the city knows us, who knows that we have made money by doing small business?” Zhizhi also said:

“ Anyway, I won't tell others that I'm speculative, and I didn't do such a thing."

Tao Rongye immediately said: "I agree with Zhi Zhi's words!"

Everyone already agreed in their hearts.

As soon as Tao Rongye uttered this classic sentence, everyone laughed happily.

Zhi Zhi was embarrassed, and Tao Rongye also blushed and lowered his head.

Chapter 77

The educated youths on Seagull Island have always been restless.

Zhizhi, the leader, was even more so.

She quickly made a plan - she had to find a reason to go to the Linshi Railway Station to take a stroll and check out the spots.

Soon, Zhizhi's opportunity came.

Director Wang needed to submit a batch of materials to the city, but recently everyone was busy with the New Year's Day performance, so it was delayed. The city called to ask questions, and it happened that Zhizhi came to the town to do some errands, so she stopped by the Educated Youth Office to help...

Zhizhi received the call.

She rolled her eyes, isn't this the best opportunity!

She immediately reported to Director Wang, and described the amiable voice of the clerk of the superior unit on the phone as harsh and ruthless!

Director Wang was stunned, and after a long while, he finally said reluctantly: "Hey, how about... I will send it there by bicycle right away!"

He didn't want to go because the long-distance bus station in Nanling Town, There are only two trains: one departs for the city in the morning and one returns from the city in the evening.

Now I have missed the departure time of the early bus.

If you want to go to the city now, you have to ride a bicycle for an hour and wait by the national highway. If he is lucky, there will be a kind passing vehicle to take him for a while. If you are unlucky, you may not be able to enter the city even if you squat until dark.

Zhizhi said: "Director, let me deliver it! Don't worry, I promise to complete the task!"

Director Wang was worried, "That's impossible! There is no shuttle bus at this point, how can you be alone as a young girl? Go to such a far place! Let me go!"

Zhi Zhi said, "I can go to the barracks for a ride."

——The barracks has been building a lot, and the transport trucks are very frequent. Even if there is no direct vehicle to go to the city, there should be a car to go to the suburbs.

Just ask and you will know?

After listening to Zhi Zhi's words, Director Wang understood, "Ah, I forgot...your partner is in the military camp, right?"     Zhi

Zhi stomped her feet angrily, "Director! Li Shu is not my partner!"

I went to the archives to collect the materials.

After a while, he came out with a stack of materials, wrapped them in kraft paper, pasted a seal on them, and tied them with hemp rope, then handed them over to Zhi Zhi, and handed her two dollars and a letter of introduction, He confessed: "When you get there, call me to report your safety. If it's too late and it's not convenient to come back, you can stay overnight in the dormitory over there and come back tomorrow... Do you understand?" "I promise to complete the task     !

"

Zhi hugged the heavy stack of materials and went out to find Shouhou, "Little monkey, you can accompany me to the military camp to find Li Shu. If there is a ride, I will go to the city to deliver the materials. You go back to Seagull Island by yourself and tell He He They, I won’t be back until tomorrow afternoon, you know?”

Slim Monkey asked, “Do you want me to accompany you?”

Zhi Zhi shook her head, “The director only gave me a letter of introduction, I’ll be fine on my own.”

Thin Monkey took the stack of documents, and the two walked out of the Educated Youth Office and walked towards the barracks.

At this moment, Li Shu came out of the barracks in a split-open military pickup truck with five or six soldiers...

Da Zhou was driving, and Li Shu was sitting in the passenger seat.

There were three soldiers sitting in the back seat, and three more in the trunk.

Da Zhou drove the car out of the barracks, and just stepped on the accelerator—

"Stop!" Li Shu yelled.

Da Zhou was taken aback and stepped on the brakes.

With a "squeak", the pickup truck stopped suddenly.

Li Shu opened the car door and jumped out of the car, shouting towards the side of the road in surprise, "Zhizhi! Farewell to Zhizhi!"

Zhizhi turned her head following the sound, saw Li Shu, and waved to him happily, "Li Shu! Li Shu! Excuse me... I just happened to go to the barracks to find you!!"

Li Shu is overjoyed!

—Is the sun coming out from the west today? She is willing to go to the barracks to find him in person?

Alas, it's a pity that he has to go on a mission now, otherwise, those bastards would be able to open their eyes to see what his object looks like!

At this moment, Zhizhi and Shouhou had already run towards him.

"Zhi Zhi, what do you need from me?" Li Shu asked.

Zhi Zhi said: "Li Shu, does your unit have a ride to the city?"

"Yes! Where are you going?" Li Shu asked her.

Zhizhi said: "I'm going to the municipal committee, our director asked me to hand over the documents!" She pointed to the thick stack of documents that Shouhou was holding.

Li Shu was ecstatic, he motioned to the soldiers sitting in the back seat of the pickup truck without moving his voice, and then said to Zhizhi: "It happens that we are going to the city too, so... let's go together!" Zhizhi did

n't I thought it would go so smoothly!

"Then, drop by? Are you going to the municipal party committee too?" She still couldn't help asking.

Li Shu smiled, "Almost."

——He was going to the military division in the city, but the distance between the military division and the municipal committee was only five kilometers, not far away.

"Then get in the car, I'm in a hurry here." Li Shu said.

Zhizhi took the information from Shouhou and told him, "Little monkey, go back after buying what Hehe and the others want, don't delay, remember what I told you... tell Hehe and the others, I will I'll be back in the afternoon."

When Li Shu heard this, he almost laughed silly - Zhizhi will stay in the city tonight and won't come back?

The thin monkey worriedly said to Zhizhi: "Zhizhi, you have to be careful, I heard that some time ago, a young girl was abducted by a kidnapper in the neighboring village..." Then he said to Li Shu, "Li Shu, take good care of Zhizhi Go!"

Li Shu nodded, and opened the car door for Zhi Zhi.

Fortunately, the three soldiers who were still sitting in the back seat of the car just now were very discerning. They had already got out of the car on the other side of the car. Two of them automatically went to the back of the car, and the other sat next to Da Zhou. passenger seat.

Zhizhi first greeted the soldiers sitting on the car, "Hi, I'm Bie Zhizhi. I'm going to give you a ride into the city. I'm sorry for causing you trouble!" The five

soldiers They suddenly saw such a fair and beautiful girl, speaking so softly and politely... Their young faces flushed red all of a sudden.

They didn't dare to look directly at Zhi Zhi, and they didn't dare to talk to her. One of them tried his best to say a few words like a gnat, "No, it's okay——" Li Shu stood aside and laughed like a

fool .

After Zhizhi greeted the soldiers on the truck, she got into the back seat of the pickup truck, and then greeted Da Zhou and the soldier sitting in the passenger seat, "Hello Da Zhou, hello comrade..." Because Seeing that the soldier sitting in the passenger seat was a stranger, he introduced himself to him again, "Hi, comrade, I'm Bie Zhizhi from Seagull Island. I'm going to take your ride to the city today, and I'm going to cause you trouble!"

The soldier sitting in the co-driver's seat was also amazed by Zhizhi's beauty, and said blushingly, "No, it's not troublesome..."

Da Zhou knew Zhizhi very well, so he laughed, "Comrade Zhizhi, it's really true that we bumped into each other." What a coincidence! We're one second faster, and you're one second later...then we won't be able to catch up, right?"

"Yes!" Zhizhi replied with a smile.

At this time, Li Shu who was standing outside

the car took advantage of Zhi Zhi to get into the car, and then scanned the soldier sitting on the back of the car with his proud eyes.

The soldiers chirped,

"I was wrong! I shouldn't doubt the platoon leader! It turns out that the platoon leader's partner is really beautiful like a fairy!" "It's okay to be beautiful

, why are you so polite!"

"She Her eyes can talk!"

"She is a perfect match for our platoon leader!"

Only then did Li Shu get into the back seat of the car as he wished, sat next to Zhi Zhi, and closed the car door.

Da Zhou started the car.

Slow down for a while, seeing that there are few people on the road, he speeds up, speeds up, speeds up again!

The force was so strong that Zhi Zhi's body stopped following the momentum of the vehicle, and she suddenly fell backwards - Li Shu quickly stretched out his

hand and placed it on the back of her head.

The back of Zhizhi's head slammed into his generous palm, and it didn't hurt at all.

She immediately thanked Li Shu, "Thank you!"

Li Shu smirked.

——It turns out that her hair is so thin and smooth, so comfortable to touch!

He asked her, "Are you going today and coming back tomorrow? Is there a place to eat and live?"

Zhizhi nodded, "The director gave me a letter of introduction. I will live in the collective dormitory of the Educated Youth Office of the Municipal Party Committee today, and I should eat in the dormitory." Eat over there."

Li Shu, "What a coincidence, I'll be back tomorrow too."

Da Zhou OS: Platoon leader, you are so shameless, the team leader clearly told you to come back today!

"Then...where can I pick you up tomorrow?" Li Shu asked.

Zhi Zhi thought about it, and felt that there were some things that were not good to say in front of Da Zhou and another soldier. So she took out a notebook and a pen from her messenger bag, and wrote down a few numbers in the notebook.

【Are you familiar with Linshi? After I finish my business, I want to go to the black market near the train station and start a small business to make money to buy flowery dresses. ]

After finishing writing, she showed it to Li Shu.

Li Shu looked at the beautiful small characters on hairpin flowers in the notebook and smiled.

He asked her for a pen, and wrote down [I have money, and I also have a cloth ticket, and I will buy you a floral dress. 】

Zhizhi glared at him, and wrote [I want to buy everyone's skirts, six girls, white shirts and floral skirts, five boys, white shirts and black pants, for the educated youth art performance. ]

Li Shu suddenly realized.

He thought for a while, and wrote [Maybe I didn't prepare in a hurry]

Zhizhi took the pen again, [So I want to familiarize myself with the market and see how the people's consumption level is there]

In fact, she was also drumming in her heart, although she also had a relationship with Li Shu We've known each other for a long time, but she doesn't know much about him. What if someone is particularly honest? It is especially unacceptable for her to do small business and speculate?

Then she saw Li Shu write on the paper【Yes, I will go with you. I was reporting to my superiors at 11:15 in the morning, and I should be able to finish the work around 12:30. You don't want to have lunch at work, I'll take you around the train station]

Zhizhi was a little surprised.

With Li Shu as a companion, of course it is better than her alone.

Li Shu continued to write [I'm free in the afternoon and evening, we can go shopping in the city and look at other markets]

Zhizhi was very happy.

So she made a dumb "thank you gesture", that is, clenched her hand into a fist, raised her thumb high, and then made a "nod" gesture towards Li Shu.

Li Shu knew the meaning of this gesture.

But what surprised him was—are her fingers so slender? And the shape is really

beautiful! The fingers are straight and slender, the nails are rounded and decently trimmed, the back of the hand is white, the palm of the hand is pink...

There are billions of thoughts... I want to kiss gently.

As soon as this idea came to mind, Li Shu was startled.

—Is he so shameless?

Li Shu secretly scolded himself as a beast, but he uncontrollably glanced at Zhi Zhi's beautiful fingers again, feeling a little parched, the heart hidden under his chest was beating wildly, as if wanting to We must try our best to break free from the shackles of ethics.

He was so frightened that he quickly turned his head to the window, and at the same time took a deep breath in secret, trying to calmly extinguish the anger in a certain part of his body with his thoughts.

Zhi Zhi put away the pen and paper.

At this time, Da Zhou had already left the small town in his car and drove up a hill. Because the road ahead was wide and straight and there were no pedestrians, he stepped on the accelerator—the

car accelerated again suddenly!

Zhizhi's body was thrown back again with inertia.

Li Shu stretched out his hand almost instinctively, covering the back of her head.

Zhi Zhi was distracted until her head hit the car wall heavily -

and then was firmly protected by him again.

Now, Zhizhi is also a little embarrassed.

Li Shu originally wanted to scold Da Zhou and tell him to drive more slowly. But after thinking about it... Isn't this good, it gave him a chance to act as a flower protector.

So he sincerely apologized to Zhizhi, "I'm sorry, the main reason is that we are in a hurry... It's already past eight o'clock, and we have to arrive at the military division by a quarter past eleven, so Da Zhou drove too fast A little."

In this era without high-speed rail or high-speed rail, Zhizhi can only arrive at Nanling by taking an army transport vehicle from the provincial capital for two days and two nights to calculate that the distance between Lin City and Nanling Town is about one hundred and thirty-four. About ten kilometers. Such a long distance must be reached in such a short time. Even in later generations, it is necessary to travel at a high speed of at least 80 per hour to reach it.

The current road conditions are so backward, no wonder Da Zhou drove the pickup truck out of the speed of the plane.

Zhi Zhi nodded, "I'm fine... because of my willingness, I let some of their comrades ride in the car. It's much more uncomfortable for them to sit in the back than me, I..."

"They have rough skin and thick flesh, it's okay." Li Shu said with a smile.

Zhizhi doesn't want to fall in love.

At this stage, she just wants to focus on her career.

But she could guess what Li Shu was thinking...

Now that she was sitting side by side with him, she felt as if she was sitting on pins and needles.

——She didn't want to ignore him completely, after all, she would go to the night market with him in the afternoon and evening. But she didn't want to chat with him or get close to make him feel that he had a chance.

Just being so stalemate and silent, coupled with the poor road conditions, the pickup truck was traveling at a high speed, and the bumps were severe... Zhizhi dozed off in a daze.

Li Shu has been silently staring at Zhi Zhi.

He looked at her head bit by bit...

He also put his big hand on the back of her head from time to time as a meat pad.

At the beginning, every time he blocked her, she would say "thank you", but when she fell asleep, she just... rolled into his arms.

Li Shu was as happy as a fool.

Zhizhi was light and soft, she leaned gently on his shoulder, her slender body trembled and trembled with the bumps of the car.

He turned slightly and she slid into his arms.

Zhizhi, she... smells so good.

Li Shu didn't dare to move.

After a while, he was sure that Zhi Zhi had fallen asleep, so he lowered his head and looked at her silently.

He secretly smirked.

——After he and she finish their business, he will take her shopping. After a while, he asked people to see if he could find a way to get movie tickets. Ah, also, let him take her to the state-run restaurant to have a good meal!

Chapter 78

Zhi Zhi slept comfortably.

She hadn't slept so comfortably in a long, long time.

The firmness of the mattress is just right, not too soft and not too hard, with a smart fit. The most important thing is that this mattress has its own temperature, neither cold nor hot...

but someone keeps calling her.

"Zhizhi? Zhizhi...wake up, it's here!"

What, what?

Zhizhi opened her eyes.

She saw a magnified handsome face.

——He has sculpted eyebrows and handsome eyes, handsome facial features, and a short shave, which makes him look a little arrogant and a little ruffian. He was wearing short sleeves with navy blue and white stripes, and his whole body was full of compelling youth.

Zhi Zhi stared at this sunny handsome man in a daze.

Li Shu also looked at the little beauty who was still half asleep and half awake with a smile.

——She slept soundly along the way, her face was flushed, and because she had been sleeping on his shoulder, there was a crease of the fabric on her face. It may be because she was awakened, her eyes were a little red... In addition, she probably wanted to wake up as soon as possible, so she kept blinking, trying to soothe her dry eyes.

Li Shu watched her blink again and again, and slowly became sober.

Zhizhi was indeed awake.

Only then did she suddenly realize that she had already forced Li Shu to the window of the car, and she threw herself on him?

"Ah!"

Zhizhi let out a low cry, supported her hands, and tried to stand up straight...

Then she found that the place she was supporting was actually Li Shu's thigh? !

Zhizhi retreated desperately, her pretty face blushing unreasonably.

With a smile on the corner of Li Shu's mouth, he opened the door and got out of the car, then motioned for her to get off, "I've arrived at the Municipal Committee."

Zhi Zhi hurriedly looked out of the car window, and sure enough, she saw the simple and elegant gray concrete gate, with a sentinel standing guard at the gate.

She hurried down and looked at her watch again—five past eleven in the morning.

God, Da Zhou and the others really arrived in Lin City within two hours!

If she hadn't hitched a ride with them and paid in advance according to the time when Director Wang was riding his bicycle to stop the car halfway, the arrival would be in the afternoon at the earliest!

At this time, Li Shu brought Zhizhi's stack of documents, handed them to her, and told her: "Hurry up and get down to business. After you finish your work, you can take a stroll in the family compound. I heard that There is a canteen inside. Come out at half past twelve and wait for me here, I can't get in without a letter of introduction."

Zhizhi took the information and nodded.

Li Shu got into the car with a smile on his face, and the jeep drove away.

Zhizhi took the documents and went to the gate post at the gate of the Municipal Committee, took out the letter of introduction to the gate guard, and inquired about the office location of the Municipal Committee's Educated Youth Office, then entered the compound, asked people all the way, and finally found the educated youth After handing in the materials, I explained to the staff that she would be staying in the dormitory today.

The staff directly gave her a key threaded with wool, and there was a wooden sign attached to the key. The wooden sign said "Temporary business trip 5-2-8-16", and told her: With this wooden

sign You can go to the municipal party committee cafeteria to get breakfast, lunch and dinner for free, and you live in Shop 16, Room 8, 2nd Floor, No. 5 Dormitory Building. There is simple bedding, but she has to use her own toiletries. This key is the key to open the door of the dormitory. Try not to return late as much as possible. The municipal party committee compound will be closed at 10:00 p.m., and the dormitory lights will be turned off at 10:30 p.m.

At the same time, he also told Zhizhi to return the key card before

leaving .

Zhi Zhi thanked the staff and left the office.

She remembered that Li Shu had specifically told her to take a stroll around the family compound of the municipal party committee, and that there was a canteen here?

What happened to this canteen?

Zhizhi felt a little curious and casually walked around the municipal committee.

From a distance, she saw a few half-grown boys in their teens running wildly in a certain direction, laughing and laughing.

Zhizhi followed those boys.

After a while she saw a wide open iron door.

Stepping through the iron gates, there are tube buildings one after another. Clothes are drying on the balconies of every household upstairs. There is a wooden sign nailed to the door of Tongzilou, which says the number and number of the building...

Come to think of it, this is the family compound?

Zhi Zhi continued to walk forward and saw a kindergarten.

The kindergarten is very beautiful. There are three concave-shaped buildings, which are painted in beautiful pink, sky blue, and light green respectively. There are three to four-year-olds, five or six-year-old children doing exercises, at least two hundred or so , everyone is tiger-headed and tiger-headed, very cute.

Zhi Zhi looked at her with hot eyes, and smiled with her aunt until she saw that the little groups had finished their exercises and were lined up by the teacher and walked into the classroom, before she continued to walk forward.

Diagonally opposite the kindergarten is an elementary school, which also has two buildings, but the campus is quiet and quiet, and you can occasionally hear elementary school students reading texts in the classroom.

Standing at the gate of Shiji Primary School, Zhi Zhi saw the canteen at a glance -

the canteen is a row of bungalows facing the street, and the area is quite large. There is a wooden sign that reads "Municipal Party Commissary" hanging prominently on the wall.

What surprised Zhi Zhi was that many people dressed as peasants were standing guard at the entrance of the small shop carrying loads and baskets.

Zhizhi hurried over.

After watching for a long time, Zhi Zhi understood.

In this era, individuals are not allowed to do business and buy or sell, but they can barter appropriately.

These farmers are ordinary people living nearby, bringing home-produced chicken and duck eggs, rice, dried vegetables, local products and so on... They are waiting in line here for the people in the commissary to check and accept.

After these farmers exchanged their things to the canteen, they took what they wanted, such as soft white sugar, soap, toothpaste, etc., and left.

Of course, there are also people who don't want things, ask for some money and leave.

Zhi Zhi waited until the people who exchanged things had left in a hurry, and then entered the canteen.

A middle-aged woman met her and greeted her: "Little girl, are you new here? You don't know what to look at, and you can buy whatever you like. You don't need a ticket!" No ticket

?

When Zhizhi heard this, she immediately became interested.

No wonder Li Shu asked her to come here for a stroll!

Really...

Zhizhi carefully looked at the products in the canteen.

The small shop is divided into two parts, one part is a very traditional glass counter, the salespersons stand inside the counter, and all the products are placed in the counter, the customer wants to buy something, just tell the salesperson, and the salesperson shows it to the customer.

For one part, a dozen or so large bamboo baskets were placed on the ground, filled with all kinds of local specialties... It should be the things that the farmers just exchanged.

Zhi Zhi looked at the price and found it was quite fair.

She studied the types and prices of these commodities one by one with great interest.

Suddenly—

there was a lot of people outside.

It turned out that the municipal party committee elementary school next door was out of school.

In an instant, dozens of children rushed into the canteen, screaming and screaming—

"Auntie, give me a five-cent cream popsicle!"

"Auntie, I want three orange candies!"

"Auntie, I want sour radish for two cents, and I want to add spicy hot pepper!" "

Auntie, I want butter popsicles too!"

"Auntie! Auntie, give me three glass balls for five cents!"

Standing around the counter The children hadn't finished shopping yet, and there was an endless stream of children continuing to squeeze into the canteen. Zhi Zhi was so forced that she didn't even have a place to stay, so she quickly escaped from the grocery store.

She continued to stand and watch, only to see that the spacious and quiet road just now was full of people! More than half of them are elementary school students returning home from school, and the other half are parents who came to pick up their children from school...

Zhizhi looked at these parents who came to pick up their children from school again. Most of them are the children’s grandparents, neatly dressed and smiling, some brought food for the children to eat, some rushed to the canteen with the children to buy some snacks for the children, and some directly gave them money. The child lets the child buy whatever he wants.

Zhizhi thought for a while, and walked slowly along the road with the crowd. As she walked, she saw a big iron gate.

It seems that this is the back door of the family compound of the Municipal Party Committee.

During this time period, the flow of people going in and out is huge.

Zhizhi saw two peddlers at the back door selling things here with their burdens, one selling Knockou candy and the other selling homemade cuffs, but neither of them had much business.

Zhizhi felt a little strange.

Now it is off-duty time, the flow of people is so large, it is understandable that no one is interested in the hawker selling sleeves; but why is there no one patronizing the hawker selling knocks?

Isn't there a lot of kids out of school?

Soon, Zhizhi knew the reason.

A young mother, holding a one-year-old child in her arms and a five- or six-year-old child, was passing by Zhizhi.

The older child shook his mother's hand, "Mom, I want to eat Knockout Candy!"

The young mother scolded: "You can't eat that person's food if you eat it! Just last month, there was rat feces in the knockout candy that Xiao Qiuhua bought from him...Did you forget? Don't eat it, let's hurry up!" Go home!"

Zhizhi stared at the candy vendor for a while, then wandered around for a while before re-entering the family compound of the municipal party committee and walking back slowly.

The canteen business is still booming, the elementary school is empty, and the children in the kindergarten don’t come home at noon, and they are having lunch right now. Zhizhi saw two middle-aged men in chef's clothes carrying soup buckets towards the classroom inside...

Zhizhi had an idea in her heart.

So she went back to the canteen and watched at the entrance of the canteen, looking at what the children who came out of there were holding in their hands... At

12:30 noon, the children left slowly, and the street became quiet again.

Zhizhi looked at her watch, and hurried along the original road to the office area of the municipal party committee. As soon as she stepped out of the gate, she saw Li Shu in plain clothes.

Chapter 79

Li Shu smiled brightly, showing his white teeth, and called out her name: "Zhizhi!"

Zhizhi pursed her lips into a smile, and walked towards him.

"Are you hungry?" He asked him, "I bought some candy when I passed by the canteen just now, do you want to fill your stomach first?"

He said, spreading his palms up in front of her.

——Big, rough wheat-colored hands, in the palms lay a few big white rabbit toffee.

Zhizhi was really a little hungry.

"Thank you." She thanked her, carefully took a toffee from his palm, removed the wrapping paper and stuffed it into her mouth.

The rich toffee and sweet taste explode in the mouth. This extreme sweetness made Zhi Zhi squint her eyes, revealing a happy expression.

Li Shu looked at her with a smile, and said, "You keep these as well, I have no place to put them."

Zhizhi hesitated for a while, reached out, left one for him, and licked the rest of the white rabbit toffee. Now, put it in your messenger bag.

Li Shu said: "Let's find a state-run restaurant to have lunch first, and then we will have the strength to scout the situation after we are full."

Zhizhi nodded.

Li Shu took Zhizhi to a state-run hotel near the municipal party committee.

The state-run hotel in Linshi is different from the state-run hotel in Songshi, Zhizhi's hometown.

——As for the state-run restaurant in Songshi, my hometown, there is a wall full of bamboo recipes as soon as you enter the door. The name and price of the dish are engraved on each big bamboo slice, and the small bamboo slices engraved with the name of the dish are hung below.

When a customer wants to order a dish, after seeing the name and price of the dish clearly on the big bamboo slice, he reaches for a small bamboo slice. Take as many dishes as you want, and then hand them over to the payment window. The staff counts the money, and the customer pays the bill while providing meal coupons.

When the chef has finished frying the dishes, the waiter will call the number: Braised Pork No. 121 is ready! No. 36 braised pig with soybeans is ready...

Then the customer takes the chips and goes to the window to pick up the dishes. The chips are handed over to the waiter, and the dishes are taken away by themselves.

——As for the state-run restaurant here in Lin City, a menu written in brush calligraphy is directly pasted inside the restaurant. A waiter sits in front of the menu. When the customer enters the door, he will first pass the meal coupon, and then tell the waiter what dish he wants to order. The waiter will tear off the corresponding paper receipts (with the name of the dish printed on them) according to the customer's request, and then start to settle the account. After collecting the money and giving the change, the waiter will hand the customer a wooden sign with a number engraved on it.

The customer finds a seat and sits down by himself with the wooden sign. When the chef cooks the dishes, the waiter will bring them out and shout at the same time: No. 121? Where is number 121? Your braised pork is ready!

At this moment, Zhi Zhi and Li Shu stood at the entrance of the state-run hotel and watched.

Li Shu asked her, "Do you have any food you want to eat?"

Zhi Zhi said, "I don't have a meal coupon." Li Shu smiled

, "I have..." He suddenly realized that she didn't really want to owe him too much the meaning of.

"I also want to eat, so I will treat this meal. We are still on the Long March in the afternoon, if you are tired from walking, please treat me to popsicles!" Li Shu said.

Zhizhi breathed a sigh of relief and nodded. She studied the menu intently, and finally chose a sweet and sour fried meatball.

Li Shu almost laughed out loud.

——Is it so childish? like a child!

But he didn't show his face, and said: "Then I'm ordering a pickled pork with preserved vegetables and a fried green vegetable, is that okay?"

Zhi Zhi hesitated, "Is it too much

?"

She doesn't eat much, and a bowl of rice You can be full after eating a la carte, two people can eat three dishes, can you finish it?

Li Shu, "Not much."

He asked Zhizhi to find a seat inside, while he queued up at the door to order food.

This time period happened to be meal time, and there were quite a lot of people eating in the restaurant. Zhi Zhi took a little effort to find two people in a corner, and when she saw Li Shu coming in, she quickly waved to him, "Here, here!"

Li Shu was still holding two opened glass bottles Bottled orange soda.

He sat down and handed Zhizhi a bottle.

Zhi Zhi stared at the bright orange soda in the glass bottle, and couldn't help but licked her lips.

She came to Linshi from Nanling Town, running all the way without even taking a breath.

So thirsty.

I really want to drink this soda.

But -

seeing her not moving for a long time, Li Shu wondered: "You don't like to drink soda?"

Zhizhi said, "I didn't bring a cup."

Plastic products are very expensive in this era, and straws are also plastic products, basically there is no People drink soda and drink it directly from this glass bottle to their mouths.

And this kind of glass bottle with soda will be used repeatedly and recycled. In this era, there is not much awareness of disinfection, and the glass bottles that are recycled are at most just rinsed with tap water and then used again... Sometimes

Zhizhi can't help but buy soda, but she will use it for herself. I continued to drink from the lunch box I carried with me, and resolutely kept my lips from touching the mouth of the glass bottle.

Li Shu was stunned.

Zhizhi lowered her voice, and said embarrassedly: "My mother is a doctor... She told me that there is a possibility of contracting diseases when eating out. The more serious ones are hepatitis and tuberculosis, even if you are not so unlucky , and maybe diarrhea or something..."

Zhizhi was a little embarrassed.

People in this era don't understand or care about these diseases, but she from later generations does. In the past, when she went out, she would bring an empty lunch box in her messenger bag, but today...she came to Lin City on a whim, and did not bring an empty lunch box.

It's very difficult.

I'm also a little worried that Li Shu thinks she's busy.

——Before Zheng Ping, Li Fen and others laughed at her more than once for carrying a bowl when going out, and ridiculed her for being a capitalist.

Li Shu understood.

He handed the wooden sign with numbers engraved on it to Zhi Zhi, and said, "If someone calls your number, you should answer... I'll go out for a while."

Saying this, he hurriedly left the state-run hotel.

About ten minutes later, he came back with two enamel cups about the size of his fist and two tin spoons in his hands.

"This cup is the smallest in the supply and marketing cooperative, okay?" He asked her.

Zhizhi nodded happily.

Li Shu took the enamel cup and tin spoon to the sink in the hotel to wash them, and then went to the water machine to scald the cup and spoon with boiling water, and then returned to his seat.

At this time, the three dishes they ordered had arrived.

Li Shu gave Zhi Zhi a cup and a spoon, kept a cup and a spoon for himself, and then watched Zhi Zhi do it.

——I saw that Zhi Zhi couldn't wait to pour the soda in the glass bottle into the cup, brought it to her mouth, and took a big sip suddenly, the word "comfortable" was written all over her pretty face.

Li Shu laughed.

He also imitated Zhi Zhi's example, poured the orange soda into the cup, and took a sip.

In the hot weather, it is such a blessing to drink a glass of ice-cold,

sweet, !

Even because of the moistening of the sweet and sour soda, it is quite appetizing, and the stomach is even more hungry.

Li Shu shoveled a spoonful of meat with a spoon, stuffed it into his mouth and ate it, chewed it a few times and was about to grill the rice...

"Li Shu, don't touch the rim of the bowl with your mouth." Zhizhi told him again .

Li Shu immediately used a spoon to scoop up a spoon full of white rice that was about to fall out of the spoon, and stuffed it into his mouth - in an instant, a quarter of the bowl of white rice disappeared.

Zhi Zhi froze for a moment.

She finally believed that just now when she was worried that the two of them would not be able to finish the three dishes, what did Li Shu mean by the phrase "not much".

But then again, he has such a big appetite, but he is not fat at all!

This meal, Zhizhi ate very happily.

The sweet and sour meatballs are deep-fried, the skin is crispy, the minced meat inside is mixed with tender tofu, juicy and tender, the surface is covered with sweet and sour sauce, and there are sliced sweet and sour tomatoes fried in hot oil underneath. Appetizing and delicious.

The braised meat in the pickled vegetables is fat but not greasy, soft and tasty. After the plum dried vegetables are full of the fat and moist, it is delicious, and it is simply a good accompaniment to rice.

If you feel tired, take a mouthful of refreshing stir-fried vegetables, and finally drink a mouthful of sweet and sour orange soda...

It doesn't feel so good!

Zhizhi was starving, and Li Shu was a good meal partner, seeing how delicious his meal was, she couldn't help but add half a bowl of rice.

Li Shu also opened his belly to eat - he ate a total of five bowls of white rice! When he first started eating, he restrained himself; he didn't really start until Zhizhi made it clear that he was full. He ate all three dishes cleanly, and even poured the vegetable juice from the fried vegetables into the last bowl of rice.

After eating and drinking enough, he leaned back against the back of the chair and licked his lips, and said to Zhi Zhi embarrassedly: "Do I have a big appetite? My mother always said that I am a glutton..."

Zhi Zhi pursed her lips and smiled, " Then others always laugh at me, saying that I am contrived, look down on working people, and bring a bowl with me when I go out..."

Li Shu, "No, we proletariat also have the right to be civilized and hygienic!"

Zhizhi said, "That person really eats so much, so what is there to say? You didn't waste food!"

The two looked at each other and smiled.

But Li Shu still felt that Zhi Zhi would misunderstand him, so he explained: "Actually, in the military camp, I can't get enough to eat, so I go to the restaurant every week... My monthly salary is 42 yuan, and every month I spend 42 yuan. The money in the restaurant is about fifteen yuan... I will keep the rest of the money!"

Zhi Zhi subconsciously calculated, thinking that there are four weeks in a month, that is to say, every time he goes out of the restaurant, The cost is about three or four dollars.

The dishes in state-run restaurants, pure meat such as braised pork and stewed pig's trotters, cost five yuan a piece, which is the most expensive. The second most expensive is the kind of meat she and Li Shu ordered today with less side dishes, and the price is basically 3-4 yuan per serving. The third most expensive dish is the dish dipped in minced meat, such as eggplant with minced meat and long beans with minced meat. The price is about 1 yuan. The cheapest is fried vegetables, 3 cents a piece.

A bowl of rice costs 1 cent, and a bowl weighs more than two ounces; a bottle of soft drink costs 2 cents; and a large bowl of vegetable soup in restaurants costs 2 cents... So, even if

he often goes out to eat in restaurants, it is actually very expensive. I refrained from ordering the pure meat dish that costs 5 yuan a piece. I probably ordered a meaty dish with side dishes, plus a vegetarian dish.

He is quite real!

Just thinking about it, Zhizhi froze.

——If he is real, what does it matter to her? Why is she calculating these things?

Zhi Zhi blushed for no reason.

Chapter 80

After eating, Li Shu took the two newly bought cups and spoons to wash them, scalded them with boiling water again, and put them back on the seat. Zhi Zhi shook off the water from the cup and spoon, wrapped it with a clean handkerchief of her own, and stuffed it into her messenger bag.

She quite likes these two cups, they are delicate, small in size, light in weight without taking up space.

Li Shu suggested, "To go to the train station, we need to take a bus. We get on the bus as soon as we have eaten, and we may get motion sickness. Why don't we walk two stops along the road and then take the bus?" Zhizhi nodded

.

So the two left the state-run hotel and walked slowly.

Li Shu was by Zhi Zhi's side, putting his hands in his trouser pockets, and clutching the two movie tickets hidden in his pockets with his right hand - the movie tickets were for tonight, and he exchanged them with an acquaintance in the military division.

However, what excuse would he use to invite Zhizhi to see it?

Will she say no?

In case of rejection...

so what?

Li Shu's heart was up and down.

Zhizhi didn't think too much about it, she was mainly trying to settle the score in her heart:

——Gao Tiantian on the island has already settled the score, and it will cost each of the educated youths in Seagull Island a piece of clothing. For 1 yuan, eleven people add up to 80 or 90 yuan. Zhizhi also wanted to give everyone another pair of leather shoes... A pair of leather shoes cost ten yuan for the cheap ones, and two hundred yuan for an extra pair.

To earn two hundred yuan in such a short period of time...

——The biggest problem is not making money, but how to stay in the city for such a long time reasonably.

What about the mode of transportation of people or goods? What about a letter of introduction?

What a problem!

The two walked to the bus stop without knowing it.

Two cents a bus ticket.

Zhi Zhi and Li Shu lowered their heads to look for money in their bags (pockets) at the same time, Zhi Zhi only found a one-cent change note, Li Shu found four one-cent notes and came out... Zhi Zhi was very sorry, "Li Shu, I'm

sorry Ah, I... I'll treat you to something delicious tonight!"

Li Shu summoned up his courage and said, "Then, can you treat me to a movie?"

Zhizhi said "ah", with a dull expression on her face.

—Watching a movie?

Zhizhi watched a movie with her family in her hometown of Songshi.

Today's movie theaters are all open-air, with huge "screens" painted white standing on high concrete platforms, and the audience seats are concrete stools.

In this era, people like to help the old and the young to watch movies, and they especially like to eat melon seeds and peanuts when the movie is playing, and they also like to chat... The

children run around, and occasionally they fight for seats for the whole movie People who are standing on concrete stools because they can't see or hear clearly...

Zhi Zhi doesn't feel good watching movies.

But in this era when life is so monotonous that there is almost no entertainment at all, watching movies is definitely the most attractive entertainment, not one of them.

That's it -

go to the movies with Li Shu?

Zhi Zhi hesitated.

Li Shu's face was flushed red, and he explained, "I, I, I... I mean, well, don't you want to see... where can I do some small business? That, that, that There are so many people in the movie theater..."

Zhi Zhi understood immediately.

"Okay!" She agreed happily, and then she was a little worried, "Where can we find movie tickets?"

Li Shu looked at her blankly, and the "yes" she said made him feel awkward for a moment. The brain is down, unable to react at all.

She, she agreed? ? ?

Li Shu was about to ask again—

"The bus is coming!" Zhizhi called him, and hurriedly chased the bus that had just entered the platform with other passengers waiting for the bus.

Zhi Zhi ran over, only to realize that Li Shu hadn't followed, and hurriedly called him, "Li Shu! Li Shu, come here quickly!"

Li Shu hurried over as if waking up from a dream.

The two got into the car together.

There are quite a lot of people in the car, so we can only stand.

Although it has entered December, the climate here is still very hot, and the carriage is crowded with people again, and the smell is not very friendly.

Zhizhi was beautiful, and as soon as she got into the car, she attracted the attention of several men, who squeezed towards her with malicious intentions.

Zhizhi had no choice but to squeeze towards Li Shu.

Li Shu turned his head and took a look to understand.

With a cold face, he raised one hand high on the handrail on the ceiling of the car, and supported Zhi Zhi's lower back with the other hand, staring at those bums with a completely possessive attitude.

He was tall and strong, and the experience of licking blood with the tip of a knife for several years made his eyes full of murderous intent.

Those bums were suppressed, not only didn't dare to squeeze Zhizhi anymore, they didn't even have the courage to move, they were also frightened by Li Shu's bright and sharp eyes, like a few frightened quails.

Zhizhi only thought it was because there were many people in the car.

After she squeezed to Li Shu's side, she was covered by his body temperature and height, and immediately felt safe.

But what she didn't know was that those bastards were frightened by Li Shu's menacing gaze, and got off the train tremblingly at the next stop; after a few more stops, passengers got off one after another.

The carriage gradually became empty, and there were even vacant seats...

But Li Shu enjoyed the feeling of standing so close to her, so... he didn't make a sound.

The two stood until the terminal train station, and when they got off the train, they fell into a sea of people.

Zhizhi couldn't help but compare Linshi with her hometown, Songshi.

Both cities are prefecture-level cities.

Song City obviously has fewer people and less places under its jurisdiction; Lin City has a larger area and more places under its jurisdiction, so it has more people.

The train station is especially crowded.

What surprised Zhizhi was that there were many people coming and going here, all of them passengers with luggage; but there were also many military police here, almost every five steps and every ten steps... There was only hurrying on the road

. There are no passers-by, not a single hawker.

Li Shu has a very strong instinct for reconnaissance, he looked around for a while, took Zhi Zhi away from the main road, walked around several alleys, and found the black market hidden nearby.

Zhizhi first walked around the black market a few times, and carefully observed what the vendors were selling...

She couldn't help asking Li Shu, "Li Shu, why are there so many checkpoints on the main road outside? "

Li Shu thought for a while and said: "It's not peaceful recently... There have been cases of young girls disappearing in several nearby towns, and some people say that they were kidnapped by kidnappers. Considering that the kidnappers really kidnapped girls, the best way to travel The way is to take a train or a long-distance bus, so...you can't leave my sight no matter what."

Zhizhi nodded.

In this case, she would not be so interested in the black market at the train station.

——There are too many military and police around here, which will cause pressure on the common people. People are panic-stricken, and there are very few people who are willing to come to buy things and sell things

.

"Li Shu, I don't think this place is very good, let's look at another place!" Zhizhi said.

Li Shu also felt that the vicinity of the train station was not very good.

So he led Zhi Zhi to the black markets in the north and west of the city for a while.

After running around for a while, Zhizhi compared and compared, and always felt that the back door of the municipal committee was a very good place. As for what to sell... She already has an idea.

But in order to earn a lot of money in a short period of time, Zhizhi needs all the educated youths on Seagull Island to mobilize!

Therefore, the transportation of personnel and materials is very problematic.

After shopping all afternoon, it seemed that it was time for dinner.

Zhi Zhi thought that Li Shu invited the lunch, so she must invite the dinner!

But she has no meal coupons.

"Li Shu, I'll treat you to dinner... Do you want to go to the state-run restaurant to eat? Uh, I don't have a meal coupon." Zhizhi said truthfully.

Li Shu murmured: "I have meal coupons, but I don't want to eat rice at night after eating so full at noon. How about we... have some wontons or something?"

Zhizhi nodded.

In fact she thought so too.

So the two found a wonton stall, Zhi Zhihua bought four bowls full for two cents, she ate three cups (most of the bowl) in the small enamel cup she brought with her, and Li Shu took the rest All in one go.

After eating the wontons, Li Shu took out the two movie tickets eagerly, "Zhizhi, can you invite me to watch a movie? This movie theater is at the back door of the municipal party committee's family compound. It starts at seven o'clock in the evening and finishes around nine o'clock." , we are taking the bus there now, just in time to get in."

Zhizhi looked at the movie ticket and hesitated for a while, "Then you invite me?"

Li Shu was stunned, then overjoyed!

——So she doesn't dislike going to the movies with him! She just cares about the money she or he spends!

"This, this, this, this movie ticket doesn't cost money. I, my leader didn't have time to watch it, so I gave it to me. You, if you think...then you spend money to buy some melon seeds and peanuts later. .” Li Shu stammered.

Zhizhi stood up generously, "Then let's go... By the way, what movie is tonight?"

"Sister Liu!"

After saying that, Li Shu also stood up quickly and left with Zhizhi.

The two took the bus and returned to the Municipal Party Committee Station.

Many people came to watch the movie today.

Zhi Zhi and Li Shu didn't know where the movie theater was, but they walked along with the crowd... soon they could smell various food aromas in the air.

Sure enough, many hawkers were selling on the side of the road with baskets, loads and wheelbarrows. There are those selling roasted sweet potatoes, cold skin, ice powder, fried chestnuts and melon seeds in sugar, and boiled peanuts.

Considering Li Shu's appetite, Zhi Zhi felt that he was not full for dinner, so she weighed two catties of roasted sweet potatoes, two catties of oranges and one catty of sugar-fried chestnuts, and followed Li Shu into the cinema.
