Years: Salted fish life since going to the countryside.

Chapter 508 Starting to work with different joys and sorrows

No one knows whether Han Li checked Meng Zaihong's body, but when she left, the hand that was originally carrying the snakeskin bag was clasped behind her back. It looked like she was imitating some leadership behavior, but in fact she was gently supporting herself. The lower back is also very different from usual when walking.

Shanghe Village seems to have calmed down after experiencing the farce at the Educated Youth Institute.

When Hao Hongmin learned that Han Li had started preparing medicinal materials, she made an excuse to come over and asked a little embarrassedly.

"Han Li, what medicine are you going to use this time?"

"What I'm doing this time is the potion I need when I practice boxing. What's wrong?"

Hao Hongmin gave it a try, but in the end she didn't ask Han Li to help him make the pain relief cream alone, so she changed the subject a bit.

"Well, if you can help others make the 'Stretching Pain Relief Cream', can you do it a little more? My mother uses it a bit quickly."

Although Han Li was a little confused about the speed with which Hao Hongmin's mother applied the ointment, he readily agreed to such a simple and convenient task.

Wu Lili has recently been indoctrinating Sun Yong and Niu Dechang with the theories she heard when she returned to the city. Sun Yong refused at first, because although he was rare for Wu Lili, he wanted to return to the city to work or go to school as soon as possible. Of course, if he could have a local The number of soldiers is even better.

But Niu Dechang fully agreed with Wu Lili's proposal. Sun Yong saw the two getting closer and closer, which made him feel like he was being poached and cuckolded, so he gritted his teeth and joined the discussion.

Then they began to look for other educated youths to mention this matter. In other words, it was still what Wu Lili said. They were all educated people and intellectual workers, and they should not be restricted by the heavy crop work in the village. The village committee should give them a certain amount of space and time to think about how to better build a new countryside, etc.

As for the villagers who go out for a walk every day to catch some snow clams and sell them to the consignment point, of course this depends on luck and skill. More people will not be able to catch many snow clams in a day.

Since there are almost no wild vegetables to dig in the mountains and fields at this time, most of the sisters-in-law, aunts, and aunts in the village gather here every day to chat and do some needlework for their families.

And the children are even more lively. Now whenever they have time, they will gather at the consignment point to read little books. However, under the strict requirements and reminders of the Yun family sisters, all the children in Shanghe Village have raised their children in these few days. It has become a good habit to wash hands.

There are also many people who have joined the badminton team organized by Meng Zaihong. These groups of people make the door of the agency always full of laughter and laughter.

This situation makes the Yun sisters more interested in staying at the consignment point, not to mention that Hou Yuhua is helping there every day, and the other party is competing to do many things, which allows them to concentrate more on playing ball and chatting.

If Han Li wanted to talk to He Mi in the past two days, he could only do it while she was playing chess with Hao Hongmin.

However, Zhang Shulan, a homebody, doesn't go out often. If Han Li doesn't have a chance to succeed with He Mi, he will come here to help her with some psychological treatment.

When Han Li was bored preparing medicinal materials these days, he suddenly thought that when he first came back, He Mi gave him several letters. At first, he went back and forth without paying attention to them. Later, when he was free, he actually mentioned this matter. Forgot.

Now that he remembered this matter, Han Li quickly came to the north room, took out the letters and read them through.
Two of these letters were from Fu Weihong from the Bingcheng Post and Telecommunications Bureau. In her letters, she mentioned the stamps she had collected during this period, as well as some trivial matters related to the New Year and work. This was a normal pen pal exchange.

After reading it, Han Li wrote a reply directly. First of all, he explained that he went back to Sijiu City last year to celebrate the New Year. He only received the letter from the other party after returning today. At the same time, he also talked about the fact that he had picked up a stamp album. Of course, it had Of course he didn't forget to show off about Dalong of the Qing Dynasty and many stamps from the Republic of China period.

What follows are letters from two classmates of Han Li. They both jumped in line in the Northeast, but they were not in the same area as Han Li at all.

There are two of them who cannot return home this year, but can issue certificates from the village. What she means in the letter is that if Han Li doesn't go back for the New Year, everyone can agree on a time to get together.

This proposal was a good one, but it was a pity that Han Li received it too late. Han Li wrote back one by one to explain the situation.

The last letter Han Li opened was from Tian Xiaoxia, his classmate who joined the team in northern Shaanxi. When she wrote to ask for help, Han Li not only wired 20 yuan to the other party, but also sent a large piece of very fat, very fat bacon.

It was a pity that she was not seen among the classmates who returned to Sijiu City today, but when Han Li opened the letter, he would know why the other party did not come back during the Chinese New Year.

If you use one word to describe this matter, it would be "poor", if you use an idiom to describe it, it would be "poverty breeds evil".

The village where Tian Xiaoxia joined the team in northern Shaanxi is called Kushui Village. This village has been short of water since ancient times and can be said to be an arid area among the arid areas in northern Shaanxi.

The weather and geography have made Kushui Village extremely poor. People here have no sense of time. All their work and rest arrangements are based on the weather, because there is no ordinary timekeeping tool in the entire village, let alone watches. It is said that it is truly done at sunrise and rested at sunset.

What she eats most here is soup, cabbage soup, potato soup, and radish soup. Drinking some oily soup will improve your life. For this reason, the old educated youth who has been here for a long time even compiled a jingle.Educated young people love to drink soup. They drink soup in the morning to welcome the morning sun, drink soup to warm them at noon, drink soup to illuminate the moon in the evening, and drink soup to make their stomachs swell.

Not to mention electric lights, few people in Kushui Village are willing to use kerosene lamps and candles.

Moreover, the people living here are all cave dwellings. It is still light outside, but it is already dark inside and it is difficult to see clearly.

In order to save some kerosene, everyone would go out of their cave dwellings with bowls in hand when eating in the evening, and gather together in twos and threes to talk about family feuds. However, the wind and sand here are too strong, and many educated youths cannot enjoy this treatment at all. They would rather eat in the dark inside the house. , and are not willing to eat a mouthful of dust outside.

Because it is too poor and the roads are very difficult to walk, many of them have never even been to nearby counties.Not to mention eating anything good, so most of the villagers in Kushui Village insist that sour soup dumplings and spicy spicy seeds are the most delicious food in the world.

When they, educated youths from all over the country, explained various delicacies from their hometowns to the villagers, they refused to acknowledge any of them.

If you say it a few times, the villagers in Kushui Village will all think that you have never seen the world, and you must have never eaten sour soup dumplings to be so careless here. What should I say?The villagers in Kushui Village are poor and stubborn.

But the reason why Tian Xiaoxia and the others cannot return to the city this year is still because of poverty. The son of the captain of Kushui Village fell in love with a girl in the county town. The two were classmates when they were in school.

But the girl's family didn't like him at all, and they didn't want their daughter to marry into Kugougou, Kushui Village.

In order to make the man give up, the woman proposed a sky-high price as a gift, including a house in the county, even if it was a cave dwelling.

If this were an ordinary family, they would have backed down at that time, but there are seven girls in the captain's family and only one baby is his son. How could he be willing to make his son uncomfortable? What's more, if his son marries a girl from the county town, his grandson will be very difficult in the future. It is possible to become a city dweller, and it is not impossible to obtain a household registration that allows you to eat commercial grain.

However, the captain's wife wiped out several daughters' homes, but she still couldn't raise enough money for her son to get married.

In order for his son to get married smoothly, the captain set his sights on the educated youth.

He secretly withheld all the work points and rations that should be given to the educated youth, and used all the money in exchange for his son's marriage.

There is a huge gap between the rich and the poor among the educated youth. Some count on these work-point rations to go home for the New Year, while others count on these rations to save their lives.

However, they could not wait for the distribution of work points and rations, so they began to murmur. At this time, a well-informed person inquired and learned that the work points and rations of the educated youth had all been withheld by the brigade captain.

Detention for what?It’s not hard to guess from the lively scene of the brigade captain’s wife getting married a few days ago.

After the educated youths got the news, their lungs almost exploded with anger, so a group of male educated youths rushed into the cave dwelling of the brigade leader's house and beat him up.

After the fight, they were surrounded by the captain's uncle and nephew, and a conflict ensued.

Not to mention the conflict between the foreign educated youth and the captain, even if you conflict with an ordinary person in the village, the educated youth will not get the good results.

Therefore, the fate of the male educated youths in this conflict was quite tragic. One educated youth who was slightly injured and had a quicker reaction had to use the captain as a shield before he ran into the commune.

The commune immediately sent people down to arrest those who needed to be arrested and investigate those who needed to be investigated. The captain of the Kushui Village team was taken away immediately. His final fate is not yet known, but none of the educated youth in Kushui Village last year could go home.

Han Li smiled bitterly after seeing this. The country is really too big, and it's not surprising that each place has its own situation.

Moreover, it was only in the 90s that food and clothing were barely provided for everyone. Now, anything that happens in this era is considered normal.

However, the relaxing days in Shanghe Village were short-lived. On this afternoon, the voice of Captain Liang came from the loudspeaker in the village.

"Hey, hey, hey, all the members of the commune and all the educated youths are paying attention. In order to make everything go smoothly during the spring plowing, we will start cleaning up the corn beards and sorghum roots in the fields from tomorrow morning, and remove the snow from some areas with thick snow. Go out, everything must make way for spring plowing, everyone should go to the grain drying field early tomorrow."

The villagers were eager to hear Captain Liang's voice. After all, their families had not had work-point income for several months. Even if this happened every year, they felt a little uneasy without work-point income.

The other educated youths immediately wailed after hearing this, because once they start working, unless it rains, they will basically say goodbye to rest this year.

Only Wu Lili immediately became excited after hearing the broadcast. Only when the village starts work can she speak out her suggestions. If it succeeds, the hard work she has spent these days will not be in vain. If it fails,
