Years: Salted fish life since going to the countryside.

Chapter 723 Suggestions on the selection of tractor drivers

The educated youths who went home to celebrate the New Year in Shanghe Village in the past two days have come back one after another. After He Mi and Qi Zhaodi came back, the aunt from the Zhao family no longer had to come over to help Zhang Xiangjun and his wife take care of the house. An Xin and Li Yingzi also moved back to the educated youth home. .

Liu Liyan came back one day later than Ma Runping and the others. After she came back, she and Ma Runping immediately got together and chatted about returning home for the New Year, whispering between them.

Among them, Wu Lili was the worst. She never expected that her house would be gone after she returned home after the Chinese New Year. Although most of her things had been collected by everyone, she still lost a lot of things. However, Niu Dechang's life and death are unknown now. The dog she raised was nowhere to be found, which made her unable to find someone to get angry at.

Even if Wu Lili wanted to find someone to re-roof her house, it was not in season now, and the cost of getting a wooden roof was too high. She thought about it again and again, and finally decided to wait for the weather to get warmer to find someone to repair the house, but now she only I can live back in the Educated Youth Home again.

But Wu Lili has long been used to living alone. Moving back here is a huge discomfort. She feels extremely aggrieved in terms of housing and food. In the past two days, whenever she has free time, she will scold Niu Dechang in her heart. .

It was almost evening when Han Li returned to Shanghe Village, and every household was preparing dinner. He put the little brown horse in the stable and went home, carrying a traveling bag and a sack full of herbs.

There were not many people on the street at this time. Most of them were children. They were playing "squeaks" made of willow bark and running around in the streets. Everyone's shoes were covered with mud and water, and even their trouser legs were covered with mud. , these children will probably be slapped twice after returning home.

Since He Mi came back, even if Han Li was not at home, they still came here to cook and eat every day. They cleaned and heated the place before locking the door and returning to their own homes.

So before Han Li reached home, several dogs wagging their tails and twisting their bodies to greet Han Li. When they saw it, He Mi and the others followed him out. When they walked to the street entrance, they happened to be walking opposite Han Li. .

Her grandma said that this is a good marriage. As long as Qi Xiaomei gets married, the other party will help her get medical treatment and let her come back. In the future, she will not have to work in the fields. She only needs to take good care of the old man and a few children. She will be happy in the future. Very comfortable. "

"Didn't there be a letter from Qi Xiaomei's house some time ago?"

"Qi Xiaomei's grandma told her about a marriage, saying that the man worked as an accountant in the county iron foundry. He was 45 years old this year. His wife just died last year. There were two elderly people and six children in the family. The oldest of the children was a 6-year-old son. years old, and the youngest son is 22 years old.

Dinner was fried eggs, roasted potato cubes, pork and sauerkraut stewed with frozen tofu. Han Li took out more than a dozen cucumbers and ate half of them raw and dipping them in sauce. He also took out only two of the dozen tomatoes and made a pot of them. Egg drop soup, I didn’t want to touch the rest.

"Qi Xiaomei didn't tell me when we were in the county seat."

"Yeah, but Miss Qi is staying."

"Qi Xiaomei has been thinking about cooking all day long, and now she finally got what she wanted."

Do they think Qi Xiaomei is still the little girl who could only work in their house, working non-stop, and in the end she didn't have enough to eat or wear warm clothes? Can she be persuaded by just giving her a little favor and a smile?

"Brother Han, did my sister work in a state-owned hotel after she learned her trade?"

The staple food was stewed vegetables and pancakes, as well as the bean buns sent by the Zhao family's aunt, which they fried in oil.

Moreover, they have never written to Qi Xiaomei. At this time, they probably don’t know that she has actually settled in Shanghe Village, right? So returning to the city for any illness is of no use to her. If she wants to go back, she can only transfer her household registration. The money for a few round-trip tickets is enough to marry a young girl anywhere, but these are all Han Li's guesses. , he still doesn’t know what Qi Xiaomei is thinking.

After everyone gathered around the Kang table to eat, Hou Yuhua went to clean the pots and dishes, and He Mi was clearing the table in the back room. At this time, He Mi thought about it and whispered.

When Han Li heard what He Mi said, he knew there must be something going on here. He put down the enamel cup in his hand and said.

"came back."

"The letter seems to be the address of her grandma's house. I signed for it when you didn't come back. How's it going? Is there anything wrong with that letter?"

When Han Li heard this, he frowned. How could it be a good marriage to act like a mother when he entered the house? It was obvious that the other party was looking for a nanny to take care of his parents and children, and the eldest son of that family was older than Qi Xiaomei. Such a grown-up person to be a stepmother? You can guess with your toes the embarrassment and difficulty involved,
Qi Xiaomei's grandma or uncle's family are really not human beings. They may not know what benefits they will get from this.

"It's not that simple to get a formal job quota, but we'll decide based on her personal wishes later."

But think about it, these people are quite brainless. If you use other reasons to deceive Qi Xiaomei back, there is still a chance that you can succeed, but you carelessly explained in the letter who would jump into the fire pit.

"Qi Xiaomei originally didn't want me to tell you about this. She said she didn't want to distract you over such a trivial matter, but I'm worried about her grandma if someone suddenly comes over there."

Han Li washed up and lay down on the kang relaxedly, listening to the evening meal as they worked in the outer room.

Several people talked and returned to the north room. He Mi helped take off the bulky coat and hat, and Hou Yuhua helped mix the face wash.

"What does she think?"

"She said that she didn't take it seriously at all. Her mother abandoned her to her grandmother's house when she was a few months old. Later, she was sent to the countryside as a substitute. Being abandoned twice was enough for her to express her hatred for her mother. I have completely given up.

As for her grandmother, she said that she had been working at home since she was a child, never had a full meal, and was beaten at every turn. These were all things she deserved to have a living, but when her biological mother came to find her, the whole family After selling her for dozens of yuan, she no longer owes her grandma's family anything. Now there is no way to call her back and sell her again. She also said that now she just wants to live a good life with us. Regarding that in Rongcheng No matter whose family it was, she didn't want to pay attention to it. "

Han Li nodded after hearing this. Just when he was about to say something, Hou Yuhua finished washing the dishes and walked in. Hou Yuhua didn't know about this yet, so Han Li changed the topic directly.

"We're all done. Don't you want to see the little lynxes? Now I'm going to pick them up and play with them for a while."

"They are not yet one month old since they were born. Is it okay to take them out now?"

"I don't know about this either. Why don't we go to the yard and have a look? It's probably fine for the little guy to leave Ruhua and Xiyu for a short time."

Just like that, Han Li took the four little lynxes out of their nests one by one. With Ruhua and Xiyu looking worried and resentful in their eyes, He Mi and Hou Yuhua each held and teased them for a while before switching to one.

After they put all the little lynxes back, Ruhua and Xiyu immediately blocked the door of the den with their bodies, leaving only their furry backs. They looked a little angry. .

"Now it's as fun as a kitten."

"Yeah, who would have thought that such a soft little kitten could be the most ferocious cat in the Northeast."

He Mi and the others got tired of the little lynx, checked the time, and got up early to leave. During this period, they did not give Han Li a chance to communicate secretly.

However, Han Li was not depressed, even though he could not hug the highest mountain he had touched tonight.

But he can climb over the wall to climb the second highest peak he has touched so far, and Yang Xiuying is beside him.
"Ah, Han Li, when did you come back?" "Didn't I come to find you as soon as I came back?"

"Then you quickly sit on the kang to warm yourself up."

"A spring night is worth a thousand pieces of gold, we'd better go early"

"Xiuying, you come first, I have to go to the toilet."

"I'll come, I'll come, I want it."

In the middle of the night, under the trembling greetings of Hao Hongmin's dog, Han Li climbed over the courtyard wall with one run, and returned to his home with another run.

Early the next morning, Han Li got up and went to the yard. He stretched out the Xingyi Fist frame five or six times, and did not stop until his whole body was clear. What followed was the Spring Breeze Transformation Rain, the source of happiness.

After Hao Hongmin learned that Han Li was back last night, she got up in high spirits, with a glowing face and eyes filled with spring water, to make breakfast. She also dragged Yang Xiuying, who had worked hard last night, up and started working.

Hao Hongmin and the others were also very stuck in time. She showed up the next minute when He Mi and Hou Yuhua arrived at Han Li's house.

"Sister He, Yuhua, Xiuying and I made some scallion pancakes this morning. Knowing that you two are here, we can have them all at once so we don't have to go door to door to deliver them."

"Hongmin and Xiuying, have you eaten?"

"I started making pancakes when I got up. After they were done, they were served to everyone while they were still hot. We haven't thought about eating them yet, but there is water in the pot. We can just mix them up later."

"We're also going to make some cornstarch to drink in the morning, so we might as well eat together."

A few people arranged breakfast together with just a few words, but this kind of thing is very common in their family.

While eating, Han Li said that he would go to the village committee later, so after eating, he put down his bowl, put on his bag and went out.

Han Li's luck has always been good. Today, Village Chief Zhao and Captain Liang are both in the village committee.

"The village chief and captain are both here."

"Han Li, you are back."

"I'm back. I have a lot of work to do at the county hospital every day, so it's more comfortable to come back to our village."

Han Li was not polite to them, he just pulled up a chair and sat next to them while he was talking.

"Are you discussing something?"

"My comrade just called me and told me a piece of gossip, but it can't be confirmed yet. Let's sum it up first."

"Rumor? There is nothing new about medical and health care. I don't know about other units."

"You came back last night. This news was only reported to the county at midnight last night. It's a matter of the Agricultural Machinery Bureau. Of course you wouldn't know about it from across the department."

Although Han Li didn't have many acquaintances in the Agricultural Machinery Bureau, news about them was flying all over the place during this period. When Village Chief Zhao said this, Han Li almost guessed what was going on.

"Agricultural Machinery Bureau? Could it be that the county leaders have some clues about going to ask for tractors?"

"That's it. My comrade-in-arms said that it was finalized last night. It is estimated that the trucks are being loaded now, but the quantity is a bit inappropriate. It is said that a total of ninety tractors will come down this time.

However, our county has one Chengguan town, ten township communes, and 115 production brigades. Even if we add the original tractors owned by the county agricultural machinery bureau and commune agricultural technology stations, it is not enough. There are more wolves and less meat.

So the two of us are considering whether we should go all out to get one, but there is no tractor in our village that can drive, and I am afraid that it is too late to study now. "

Han Li felt happy when he heard this. He came here to win the title of advanced educated youth for Hao Hongmin, so that she could take the exam when the college entrance examination resumed. Originally, this matter had to be done with some favors. But now because of this incident, Village Chief Zhao and Captain Liang still owe themselves a favor.

"This matter is not easy to handle. I can drive tractors, motorcycles, and cars. As long as the village decides who will be the tractor driver, I promise to teach him how to drive in three days, but I am incompetent in terms of maintenance. ."

Han Li's words made Village Chief Zhao and Captain Liang very happy. As long as someone in their village could drive, they would already have an advantage when competing for tractor quotas. In addition, their relationship could be said to be a sure thing. As for repairs, You can learn slowly in the future. New tractors are not so easy to break. If it doesn't work, just spend some money to ask someone from the agricultural technology station to come over and repair it.

"Han Li, you are so good. We will discuss who will be the tractor driver right away. Do you have any good suggestions?"

"Haha, I really have some suggestions for this."

Village Chief Zhao and Captain Liang looked at each other and then said generously.

"With our relationship, if you have any suggestions, just give them to me."

"I think if we choose only one tractor driver, there will inevitably be other things that delay our work. It is best to choose two or three people and divide them into main and auxiliary tractor drivers. This way, when the main tractor driver has something to do, we will not be delayed. work."

"Educated youths are quite unstable. They may still be working today, but will return to the city tomorrow after receiving a letter. Therefore, the main tractor driver must of course be someone from the village. To be fair, the deputy tractor driver can be given to educated youths."

"Then do you have any candidates?"

"I feel that Comrade Hao Hongmin, who came to our team at the same time as me, is good. In the past few years, she has hardly missed a day's work, and her work points have always been among the best among female educated youths. Choosing her will not only reflect the fairness of the village committee, but also allow women to The slogan "holding up half the sky" is true for us, no matter how high it is mentioned."

While Han Li was making suggestions to Village Chief Zhao and Captain Liang, the postman in charge of Shanghe Village had already sorted out the corresponding letters and was on his way here.
