Chapter 224 223Help

The flowering period of pumpkins can last for two months. After the last artificial pollination of Tang Zhitong, flowers bloomed one after another.

Tang Zhitong walked around the pumpkin patch twice, and the traces of care were obvious, including pollination, pinching flowers, tipping, fertilizing, and watering.

From the Western Han Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, there were 4186 famines recorded in writing. From the Zhou Dynasty to the Republic of China, there were 3000 famines recorded in writing over more than 5258 years.

Behind these few lines of historical text are countless human lives, which created the Chinese nation’s persistence in land and love for planting.

Whether it's ice and snow, the Gobi desert, or even the distant space, wherever there are Chinese people, they can generally grow vegetables or food.

Now that there are people in the escort department taking care of the pumpkins, Tang Zhitong can stop worrying about it and start walking around the department instead. It has been so long since he was transferred there, and he has not yet gone through the whole thing.

There are lesbians in the escort department, and most of them work in the sorting section.

The sorting unit is near the platform, and there is a small square at the entrance, which is convenient for the transfer office to park when trucks are transporting letters from Sijiucheng.

Tang Zhitong stood at the door and glanced inside. After seeing a gay man inside, he stepped in.

Inside the sorting unit are rows of racks, and each person has a station to manually sort letters that are about to be shipped to all parts of the country.

Tang Zhitong stared at one person and silently counted the number of items to be sorted. Each person could handle about 20 letters per minute. After deducting the time for rest, unpacking, and packing, each staff member could handle 8000 letters per working day. .

"Euclidean, long time no see, why are you here?" Wan Xiangyang carried a mail bag and packed the letters with the same destination into the mail bag one by one from the other end of the shelf. When he arrived at the other end, he saw Tang Zhitong and greeted him warmly.

"Hello, Brother Yang. I've been here for so long and I still haven't walked around. Come out and have a look." Tang Zhitong took out his cigarette case and motioned to Wan Xiangyang to go out and smoke one.

"Let's go." Wan Xiangyang put the mail bag upright next to the shelf, clapped his hands, and walked out of the door first.

Tang Zhitong still remembers the first time they met. Wan Xiangyang was wearing leather shoes and he was wearing thousand-layer soles. The cigarette he handed Wan Xiangyang was Wanxiang, and when he went to Lao Wan's house to settle the account, Wan Xiangyang smoked Huaxiang. son.

What Tang Zhitong took out this time was still everything. After more than half a year, everything seemed to have remained the same, and everything seemed to have changed.

In fact, Tang Zhitong always keeps cigarettes in his space. The most expensive one is Peony, which costs 49 cents a box, the next most expensive is Daqianmen, and the next lower level is Wanxiang. The worst Sichuan Leaf and Economy also have a few boxes, and some smoke them by themselves. Some are ready to give away.

"You've done a great job!" Wan Xiangyang took the cigarette, pointed to the wood outside, struck a match and lit it for Tang Zhitong, and then lit his own.

"Hey, our unit just needs it. I happen to know people, so I can make some contribution as much as I can." Timber can't hide this matter. Fangyuan is the one in front. I just contribute a small amount to gain a little favor in front of the escort. This enough.

"Hahaha, we also made some contributions within our ability. It took a group of people three days to unload. Everyone was very happy and looked forward to putting on a good show for escorting." Wan Xiangyang laughed and said.

"Hehe, Brother Yang is doing his best to contribute to the sorting of stocks today? Is there someone who sees the right person?" Tang Zhitong laughed and said teasingly. Those who can come to the postal and telecommunications system to work as sorters must have been screened and have a certain level of education. At least they must be junior high school graduates. There is no wind or rain here, and the work is not tiring. It is a dream job for many girls.

"I'm not, I haven't, don't talk nonsense." Wan Xiangyang eagerly denied three times in a row, his expression a little unnatural.

"Oh~~ How are our sister's preparations? The college entrance examination is in less than a month, right?" Tang Zhitong did not break the style of asking questions. They are all adults. If you ask someone once and they don't want to talk, then change the topic.

"I have been preparing carefully. I took a leave of absence for her last month and started off-the-job study." Speaking of his dependent sister, Wan Xiangyang's face was no longer unnatural, and his love was beyond words.

"Brother Yang, aren't you going out to escort the transportation tomorrow? I have a few chickens at home and have plenty of eggs. I'll bring some over tomorrow and you can send them to our sister to give her some nutrition." Tang Zhitong knows the admission situation in the past two years. , as long as you apply for the exam, there is a high probability of being admitted, and you will be a cadre in four years. This kind of potential stock that started from a humble beginning is very worthy of investment.

"No, no, it's not enough last time." Wan Xiangyang hesitated a little, but still chose to refuse. At present, his sister's rations are collected by a group of uncles. It's not much, just one month. After the exam, he will go back to take the exam immediately. labor.

"What's the relationship between the two of us? It's an understatement. Just because Brother Yang helped me solve that matter without asking a question, I have to be grateful." Tang Zhitong observed the words and tried to dispel Wan Xiangyang's psychological burden.

"Then...then let me thank you on behalf of Xiang Hong!" Wan Xiangyang said to Tang Zhitong solemnly.

This time Wan Xianghong went to study off-duty, and Wan Xiangyang helped her borrow food. She really sacrificed her face and took advantage of her mother's remaining love. Three pounds for this family, two pounds for that family, and she ate from her own ration. After squeezing out more than ten kilograms, I only managed to collect more than thirty kilograms. There was no one like Tang Zhitong who took the initiative to speak twice.

"Okay, I'll accept this thank you." Tang Zhitong felt Wan Xiangyang's sincerity, but he didn't raise his profile. Who knows what kind of fate he will have in a few years? When dealing with people, give more warmth and less embarrassment. If there is no warmth to give, then give more praise.

"That...this..." Tang Zhitong was happy, but Wan Xiangyang was a little hesitant.

"What?"

"This is the sorting stock, ahem, I do think there is a girl who is good, but I don't know if she has a partner, and I don't know if she can like me." Wan Xiangyang closed his eyes, his heart skipped a beat, and he hugged With a desperate mentality, he revealed the truth to Tang Zhitong, and was even prepared to be laughed at by Tang Zhitong.

"It's time for men to get married and women to get married during college. How about I help you find out?" Every little thing in life can be joked about, but Tang Zhitong doesn't joke about major events in life.

"Let's wait a little longer. If Xiang Hong can get into college, it will be easy for me. If he can't get into college, it means he is not destined." After Wan Xiangyang finished speaking, he threw the cigarette butt on the ground and licked it out, as if the spark was a spark. The same thoughts that I shouldn’t have.

"Brother Yang, everyone has their own way to go. Xiang Hong is getting older. Besides, maybe the girl will agree too?" Tang Zhitong advised tactfully.

"Then I can't agree. Wouldn't that be a drag on this girl?" Wan Xiangyang shook his head and replied.

Tang Zhitong was speechless, this damn simple view of love!
