"Go away, go away. I'll do it." Zhao Jianguo pulled Dai Fudong away, sat down in front of the stove, and pulled out a lot of firewood in the stove, "Pig brain, the stove is so full, all these firewood are
If it is not completely burned, it is strange that it can be lit. Let you learn more from the people in Xianjiqiao. You are all acting up. They are just kids who light the fire casually. We are adults, one by one,
You can't even light a fire. You are shameless, why should I still be shameless? Let me tell you, we are living independently these days and cannot rely on the people from the Xianjiqiao Brigade."
Zhao Jianguo finally started the fire, but it was still not as hot as the people in Xianjiqiao, but it was enough for cooking, and Zhao Jianguo didn't force it.
As time went by, the inconveniences of living in Xianjiqiao were slowly exposed, and the educated young people began to miss the life in the city.
"If we were in Donghai, we would already be having breakfast at this time. Holding scallion pancakes in one hand and drinking soy milk at the same time, the taste would be really memorable." Dai Fudong said while working in the fields in the morning, leaning on a hoe.
"It's better to be in the East China Sea. What I want to do most now is to take a quick bath." Pan Xiaoling murmured when she heard several young intellectuals taking a shower outside the house.
It is naturally impossible for educated young people to go outside and take a quick bath. There is no special bathhouse here. You can only carry a bucket of water in the room and wipe your body carefully. No matter how careful you are, there will still be a lot of water splashing down.
On the ground, the loess floor in the room became muddy.
Wu Wanyi brought a lot of books here. She originally planned to take the college entrance examination and return to the city again, but the news soon came that the college entrance examination had been cancelled. Her hope of entering the university was suddenly extinguished.
"Wanyi, you are still reading. Isn't the college entrance examination canceled?" Pan Xiaoling asked.
"Although the college entrance examination has been cancelled, universities are still there. It is impossible for universities to stop recruiting students in the future," Wu Wanyi said.
"The life here is really hard. If this continues, I will go crazy here. The two things I'm most afraid of now are going to the toilet and taking a shower. Although the labor is a bit hard, I can bear it.
I really don’t know how the people of Xianjiqiao live until now." Pan Xiaoling said.
"They have lived here for generations and have long been used to it. I heard that the women in Xianjiqiao also go to the river to bathe. In the evening, they walk up the river and there is a shallow area over there.
There are some woods around. The women from Xianjiqiao bathe there." Another female educated youth, Zhao Qiongmei, told something she had heard recently.
Zhao Qiongmei's words immediately made Pan Xiaoling's eyes light up: "Why don't we follow the women from the Xianji Bridge Brigade to bathe in the river? It's better than taking a bath carefully in this room, right?"
Wu Wanyi said: "Why don't we go over and take a look first to see what's going on. The women here in Xianji Bridge are too rude, and the words they say are really ugly."
"You think, if we stay here for a long time, will we become like them? I don't know how long we will stay here! If I become like them, I will go crazy
No." Pan Xiaoling said.
"Yes, if this is the case, it will be a nightmare!" Zhao Qiongmei nodded.
When they came here, they thought life in the countryside was a pastoral poem. But when they arrived here, they found that it became more and more like a nightmare.

Zhang Xilai and others often went up the mountain to call Chang Xing to come down to see what was going on in Xianji Bridge. The daily life of the educated youth has become a favorite thing for the people of Xianji Bridge. In the past few days, the educated youth have begun to work in the fields. Land reclamation can be
It is not an easy task. The barren hills are overgrown with weeds and densely covered with thorns. It is not an easy task to clear them away.
"Chang Xing, look, none of these city people can even use a hatchet. It takes several knives to chop a wattle stick." Zhang Xilai said.
Chang Xing could clearly see clearly that the young intellectuals used their knives to cut the wattle branches flat against the grain of the wood, so it was naturally difficult to cut them. An experienced Xianjiqiao man would cut the wattle branches diagonally.
In this way, there is almost no resistance, and you can easily cut through several thorns with one knife.
"Every household in their city burns coal and has never chopped firewood. How do you know how to use a hatchet?" Chang Xing said.
Zhou Maolin couldn't stand it, so he moved forward to provide guidance.
"Xiao Zhao, you are doing this wrong way. Come on, let me show you." Zhou Maolin took a hatchet, grabbed a handful of thorns in one hand, and slashed diagonally, easily cutting off all the thorns.
Broken, "When you were cutting, the knife was too flat. You have to cut diagonally like this."
"Oh." Zhao Jianguo followed Zhou Maolin's example and tried it, and found that he could cut off a very thick thorn tree very easily.
Zhang Dalei was a little dissatisfied: "Zhou Maolin likes to meddle in other people's business. What do you teach them to do? Let them suffer a little more, and then they will know how to come and ask."
In fact, many people in Xianjiqiao think like Zhang Dalei. It's not that the people of Xianjiqiao are cold-blooded, but that these intellectual young people from the city like to put on airs after coming here, and they have a deep-seated contempt for the people of Xianjiqiao.
The people of Xianjiqiao are not stupid, and their arrogance can be seen in the various behaviors of these intellectual youths.
When people in Xianjiqiao go out during the day, few people lock their doors, because no one treats their neighbors as thieves. In this era, mountain villages like Xianjiqiao have almost reached the point where people do not pick up lost items on the road.
There is a lot of trust between them. For example, if Zhang Fangqing catches a fish from the river and hangs it on the roadside, as long as he puts a straw knot on the fish, others will know that it belongs to the owner, even if they look at it
When you arrive, you won’t pick it up secretly, because it means stealing. In these days, face is more important than stomach. Most people would rather starve to death than steal other people’s things. Of course, a very few people have unclean hands and feet.
There are also people who are despised like rats crossing the street.
The arrogance and wariness of the educated youth touched the fragile nerves of the Xianjiqiao people little by little, gradually making the two groups more distinct.
A voice has gradually emerged in Xianjiqiao. They are very dissatisfied with the brigade for using public food to feed these educated youths. The people of Xianjiqiao themselves are not enough to eat, but now they have to supply a group of unrelated people.
No one wants it.
Chang Xing stood aside and watched for a while, then felt a little bored.
"Look, I went up the mountain." Chang Xing said.
"Don't leave in a hurry. It's dark, so there's nothing good to see." Zhang Dalei quickly pulled Chang Xing back.
