Chapter 20 Apprenticeship
There is not much work in the field during this period, and most of the time the villagers just carry farm tools to dig the field.

Taking advantage of a cloudy and rainy day, Jiang Yu made a pot of cornbread at home, half of which was smashed, told Jiang Yan, and took her brother out.

With a basket on his arm, Jiang Chuan followed the second sister, "Second sister, you have changed your sex. You didn't like to learn before."

"You also said that was in the past, but now that our family is in such conditions, I must study hard and let my eldest sister not worry about it."

"You should be sensible sooner."

"What's the matter?" Jiang Yu almost laughed angrily at his younger brother, and raised his hand to bald on his forehead, "When the second sister finishes learning, I can teach you when I get home."

"Then you have to wait until you know more than me." Jiang Chuan felt in his heart that he was much better than his eldest sister. If the school in the village didn't spend money, the eldest sister would definitely not be able to pass the second grade and would have to repeat every year.

It has been raining continuously today, and the mountains in the distance are shrouded in hazy rain and mist, and the green and green are very beautiful.

And the houses of several old people are not far from the hill.

When the siblings came over, the yard was very quiet, no one could hear anyone talking, and occasionally a few coughs could be heard.

After the two knocked on the door knocker, they pushed the door open and entered. The house looked dilapidated, but it looked very orderly. There were no weeds in the yard, and a little vegetable could be seen growing in the corner. The growth was good, but the quantity was limited. As for the chicken Ducks and the like can't be seen at all.

They came to reform through labor. If the life of the villagers was the same, wouldn't it be said that they came to enjoy the blessings.

Even so, it is the result of the commune turning a blind eye. Going to other places to see, the conditions of these old people are already considered good.

Even if you didn't have enough to eat in the past few years, at least you won't be hungry and make you unable to eat.

There were two old people sitting under the eaves. When they saw their siblings coming in, they were taken aback for a moment before greeting them with a smile.

When Jiang Han was alive, he took good care of the five of them, and they naturally knew the three children of the Jiang family.

"Why are you two here?" It can be called a rare visitor. Before, Jiang Chuan was able to walk around with Jiang Han, and Jiang Yu came here for the first time.

These five old men were all rehabilitated and taken away by the higher authorities in the autumn of [-].

After they left, two of them went back to take up important positions, and the other three went back to directly provide for the elderly.

After the heroine Su Yinyin came over, she wasted a lot of thought, but the five old people got along very well, and they became the heroine's backer in the future. Although the heroine didn't bother the five after leaving Hexi Commune, she also He worked hard to maintain this teacher-student relationship.

She didn't think much about it, as for what the heroine would do after she came over, it had nothing to do with her, she just kept her own pace.

"The corn buns made by my second sister are delicious. Come and give some grandpas a taste." Jiang Chuan stepped forward, lifted the blue printed burden on the bamboo basket, took out two corn buns from inside and put them in two In the hands of an old man, "It's still hot, the two grandpas eat while it's hot."

One of the old men in gray clothes was holding a warm cornbread, and looked at the siblings with a smile, "Why do you want to see us old guys?"

"I used to come too." Jiang Chuan stood in front of the window and looked inside, and found that the other three old men were sleeping on the kang, and did not enter the room to disturb him, "Grandpa Guo and the others are sleeping?"

"It's raining a little today, so we don't have to go to work. We old guys are getting older, so we can take advantage of this day to sleep more." Another old man in earth gray trousers with two large patches on his knees said The clouds are calm and the wind is light.

The two old people in front of them looked very thin and tired, but their eyes were not ashamed, but very energetic, as if there was a raging fire of hope burning inside.

Jiang Yu looked at the two, smiled obediently and said, "You two old men, can I trouble you with something?"

The old man with the patch on his knee is surnamed Cheng. Before he came to Hexi Commune, he was a professor of physics at Capital University. After returning to Beijing later, he served as the president of Capital University. It is also through this that Yinyin can gain a foothold in the capital and come together with Gu Xiao.

"What's the matter?" Mr. Cheng and the others, not long after they came here, Mr. Jiang passed away. Although they are not familiar with Mr. Jiang, they all know Mr. Jiang's name, especially after the country is stable. In their eyes, Mr. Jiang insisted on returning to the Hexi Commune with his whole family. In their eyes, it was a good quality of indifference to fame and fortune, and no admiration for wealth. In addition, Jiang Han took care of them when he was alive, so he was also happy Talk to the three children of the Jiang family.

Seeing the other party's attitude, Jiang Yu felt a lot relieved.

After explaining their reasons for coming, the two old men didn't think it was too troublesome. After all, they were senior intellectuals in various fields. It was easy to teach a little girl, and they didn't get too tired.

The old man next to Mr. Cheng was surnamed Fang. He returned to the Imperial Capital two years later and entered the Academy of Sciences. He studied at Imperial College of Technology many years ago. "The schools in the village really can't learn much."

"At the beginning, your father came to us and told us that he wanted to set up a school in the village. There is no problem in enlightening children at the beginning, but the people here seem to think that studying is useless."

Cheng Lao sighed softly, "It's ruined."

Jiang Yu listened to the two old people's words of emotion from you to me, and felt sore for them, but the hard days are coming to an end soon, although the time spent cannot be made up, it is force majeure.

The siblings talked with the two old people for a while, and it was almost noon before they left.

What Cheng Lao meant was that he could give her lectures all day when he was not working, and at noon and evening when he was working.

Back home, Jiang Yan asked her sister about the result of her trip, and was very happy to learn that the five old people did not refuse.

That night, the rain became a little heavier, and it didn't stop until dawn.

Jiang Yu made breakfast, and took advantage of the breakfast time to simmer a few sweet potatoes in the stove, and prepared to bring them to the hut later for the five old men to eat.

Because it was the younger sister who asked for help from the five old people, Jiang Yan used the only flour left at home to steam a pot of white mask. The new wheat was not free to grind the flour. I'm in a hurry, it's okay to be late.

Jiang Yu put the white mask in a bamboo basket, put the roasted sweet potatoes on it, and then carried the basket and a book in one hand to prepare to go there.

Seeing this, Jiang Yan simply locked the door and sent her there. A little girl was carrying so many things, she was not at ease looking at it.

Today's rain was a bit heavy, and there were almost no people in the village. Therefore, when the two sisters came to the hut, no one saw them, and there was no need to worry about others gossiping behind their backs. After all, people in the village have tried their best to A few old people in the thatched hut were afraid of getting infected and being labeled as something.

After sending his sister all the way, Jiang Yan greeted several old people, turned around and went home.

Taking advantage of not going to work these two days, she had to mend the torn clothes at home.

 Chinese New Year is almost here, what do you bring with you when visiting relatives?My old lady always asks me to bring some dairy products, but dairy products are the norm these days, so I want to change it.

  Like a dried fruit gift box or something?Or a meat gift box?
