Go back to the prosperous days and become a layman

Chapter 309 Chapter 308 Steamed Buns

According to the training plan, the learning in the classroom has ended, and the next few days will be time for visiting and learning.

After breakfast, the comrades in charge of training at the sanatorium gathered the students and walked to Yanda for a visit.

Yanda is famous now and will remain famous in the future. Fortunately, there are no departments like "Squinting Eyes".

Yanda is now famous not only because it is the highest university in the country, but also because there is a building made of red bricks named after its color.

This building is made of red bricks, with a red tile roof and a brick-wood structure. The building is I-shaped, with four floors above ground and one underground floor. It is 100 meters wide from east to west and 14 meters deep from north to south.

There are two west-facing rooms in the southeast corner of this building, which are important places for spreading progressive ideas in modern times. Documents, handwriting and other materials of librarians and curators are displayed here, as well as a poem by a certain literati, which mentions "Mao Li Biyan is here."

It is no exaggeration to say that this is the Holy Land of Forty-Nine Cities in the minds of comrades!

It is not easy to visit here because it is not open to the general public and requires a letter of introduction from the government agency.

Of course, the person in charge of the sanatorium will communicate all this. Tang Zhitong and other students can just visit with a pious heart.

What is different from other places is that there are dedicated staff to explain this time.

Although there are still visits today and tomorrow, many students have already set off to return to the place early.

The sanatorium does not embarrass the students. Those who want to leave early can exchange their dining vouchers for dry food. For those who are waiting for the train next week in the sanatorium, the sanatorium also provides affordable meals.

Tang Zhitong doesn't have that much ability to take care of the outside world. His manpower is sometimes scarce, and worrying too much will only increase his worries.

There are many proverbs about the beginning of autumn:

Tang Zhitong knew that it was time to dig up all kinds of vegetables in his yard and level the ground. It was time to fertilize and plant cabbage.

August 1959, 8, Saturday, the beginning of autumn, with clear skies.

Except for Yanda, when going to other places, the college has special vehicles to pick up and drop off - big trucks delivering parcels.

Since the journey was far away and there was a train, Shao Jianlin and the other three packed their luggage directly, exchanged their meal vouchers for dry food, threw them into the truck and went straight to the train station.

The beginning of autumn without rain is an empty autumn, and all things have always been half harvested.

In the local area, this kind of truck is also very rare. Even though it is a group of 13th and 4th-level cadres, it is actually very rare to get a chance to ride on it, let alone a small car.

The beginning of autumn is sunny, and the beginning of autumn is sunny; the beginning of autumn rain is the beginning of autumn rain.

At the beginning of autumn, throw away the fan.

The sanatorium treats students very well. Three dining coupons a day can be exchanged for more than ten large steamed buns.

Tang Zhitong didn't like going to those scenic spots either, so he decisively exchanged the dining coupons for a bunch of dry food and went home!

The ministry does not leave much time for local preparations, and it will take time to go back. Anyone who wants to make progress will not miss the opportunity to visit.

Tang Zhitong still had more than two days of dining coupons, and exchanged them for more than thirty large steamed buns. He put two layers of newspapers in the box of tiger bone wine, put the steamed buns inside, then tied the box to the back of his bicycle and headed towards the inner city. Rush.

Tang Zhitong went to Chunshu Hutong first. Ye Zhijuan was at work, and only her sister-in-law and brother-in-law were at home during the holidays.

"What kind of wine is tiger? Brother-in-law, what's the word for this? Who is drinking it for?" Wang Jingmin saw that Tang Zhitong was extremely friendly, so he came up to check what his brother-in-law had brought. Since the box was made of wood and tied, he looked at the box. Read the words above. Wang Jingying is a well-educated and knowledgeable person. When she heard her brother's words, she glanced at the box and her face immediately turned pink, red.

"Don't pay attention to these details. I just found a box like this from my work unit. Look what's inside!" Tang Zhitong thought to himself that he had made a mistake, but he kept it light on his face and opened the box for them to see.

"Wow! There are so many steamed buns!" Children's attention is easily diverted, as long as it is something they are interested in. Wang Jingmin was no exception. He immediately stopped worrying about the words on the box, and instead grabbed a steamed bun and gnawed it.

"How do you think it's freshly cooked? Is it delicious?" Tang Zhitong looked at his brother-in-law happily and said.

Wang Jingmin was busy eating steamed buns and had no words to answer. He just nodded his head.

"Brother-in-law, why are you getting steamed buns here again? Our mother will be unhappy again if she knows it." Wang Jingying is more sensible. Although she also wanted to eat one, she still held back and said with a slight worry.

"Participate in the training and exchange it with dining coupons. I will leave half of it for you. Go and get the basket." Tang Zhitong touched his brother-in-law's head and told his sister-in-law.

"Brother-in-law, I'm going!" Before Wang Jingying could leave, Wang Jingmin immediately grabbed a half-eaten bun and ran into the kitchen.

"Jingmin! Come back soon! You're itchy, aren't you?" Wang Jingying didn't agree with her brother-in-law leaving the buns, so she chased her brother into the kitchen.

"Eat with peace of mind, our mother will not criticize you." Tang Zhitong, with quick eyes and quick hands, grabbed Wang Jingying's hand, picked up a steamed bun and stuffed it to her.

These steamed buns must be freshly baked to be delicious. They are soft and sweet, and are best eaten with pickles. If there is a piece of bacon, tsk tsk, even a god would not change it.

"Oh, thank you, brother-in-law." Wang Jingying listened to the advice. In the end, she did not resist the temptation of the steamed buns and started to nibble on them.

Wang Jingmin took out the basket from the kitchen and handed it to Tang Zhitong, then looked at the second sister who was eating the steamed buns and smiled so cheaply that Wang Jingying became so angry that she wished she could beat her brother on the spot.

Tang Zhitong picked up the steamed buns in the wooden box and put them into the basket. They were all piled up to the top, and he only filled a dozen or so buns.

"I'll put a few on the table. When eating, pay attention to the newspapers stuck to them, and pull them off before eating." Tang Zhitong took out five more steamed buns and placed them on the dining table, covered the wooden box again, and prepared to go home.

The reason why Tang Zhitong carried the wooden box up was because he was worried that there would be too many people looking at him and gossiping.

It’s not easy for anyone these days.

After drinking a glass of water, Tang Zhitong said goodbye to Wang Jingying and Wang Jingmin without sitting for more, then carried the box downstairs and went home.

After returning home, Tang Zhitong was afraid that Zhang Guifang would feel uncomfortable, so he did not mention half of the money to Chunshu Hutong to his mother.

After explaining the origin of the steamed buns and giving them to his mother to take care of, Tang Zhitong changed into old clothes and started working in the yard.

The vegetables are collected directly. Other vegetables that have already set fruit, even if they are still unripe, must be pulled out. The bamboo racks of loofahs and cucumbers must also be dismantled to save space.

The farming season waits for no one. If you miss these few days, you will have to wait for another season.

The harvest that is within reach is important, but the cabbage that can be produced in the future is even more exciting. It is a simple truth.

On this day, Tang Zhitong was not idle. He straightened out the lie he had told Fangyuan a while ago. After adding fertilizer tomorrow, he could plant cabbage.
