"Are there any educated youths who have joined the team here?" Xia Chen asked with a smile: "Are they from the capital?"
The old man took a sip of wine and took a small bite of the chicken leg. He felt that it was very delicious. "We have lived for most of our lives, and today we are able to enjoy the meat."
Not only did they come from the capital, but also from all over the world. At that time, in response to the call of the great leader, the vast number of educated young people went to the mountains and countryside to receive re-education from poor and lower-middle peasants. I remember it was 1956, and a group of young people came.
A strong young man and a beautiful girl.
We lived in a ravine here for several years. I can’t say whether I received an education or not, but the town made a lot of noise. We, Liumiao, were already poor, but as soon as they came...
Poorer."
Several people laughed.
No one has experienced the stories of that era. Among these people, Wang Zhenhai is the one who has a little impression of them.
But he said: "Don't even look at me. I was still young at that time. I had only experienced the big return to the city and had no idea how those people lived in the countryside."
This topic has been brought to an end.
Xia Chen picked up the small black bowl and took a sip of the wine. He gave the old man a thumbs up and said, "Uncle, your wine is so delicious. It's sweet and a little bit sweet. It's not low in alcohol, right?"
The old man put the gnawed duck bones on the table, nodded and said with a smile: "It's more than 50 degrees. The old man doesn't know the specific temperature. It's brewed using local methods. You'd better drink less if you like it. Although it won't make you drunk, drink too much.
Even vomited."
Xia Chen and the others started laughing.
The old man is quite humorous.
Lu Chuan didn't even bother to talk anymore. At this moment, more than ten rolls of roast duck had entered the guy's belly. He was holding a pig's trotter and chewing it, as if he had never eaten meat in his eight lives.
Xia Chen asked: "Just like a refugee, are you okay?"
The president also glanced at him and said teasingly: "I wonder if you haven't seen a living creature since you came to this mountain. Good guy, why don't you show everyone how to eat a pig in one bite?"
Lu Chuan was not particular about it. He raised his hand to rub his mouth and said with a smile: "In this vast mountain, everything is lacking, except for game and medicinal materials. It is not difficult to eat meat. You can use pheasants and rabbits as you like.
It’s been more than a year since I’ve eaten cooked food in the capital, are you craving for this bite? These pig’s trotters and elbows are from Tianfu, right?”
"This bastard is quite tricky." The president's words were a disguised expression, and Lu Chuan guessed it right.
Lu Chuan chuckled again.
The old man asked: "You guys, are you going to Sanhe Village?"
Xia Chen nodded and said, "Yes, uncle. This guy of mine is teaching in Sanhe Village. I haven't seen him for more than a year. Let's come over to see him."
The old man also nodded, puffed on his cigarette and said: "Xiao Lu is a supporting teacher. No wonder you don't look like you are from a big city. Alas, you can stay in our deep mountains and forests for a full year. You are a good person."
Baby."
Lu Chuan said quickly: "Uncle, you have given me a reward."
"Haha." The old man smiled and said: "In recent years, the country has issued policies calling on educated young people to come to poor areas to teach, but many young people leave within a few days after coming. What's the reason? That's it.
I think we are poor here.
Poor places can't keep people, so Xiao Lu, don't be humble. If you can stay with us for a year, you are the one."
The old man gave a thumbs up.
Lu Chuan smiled sheepishly.
The president continued, "Uncle, let alone one year, this brother of mine doesn't want to leave. Don't look at this guy who looks quite honest. He is full of playfulness. After coming to your place, he quickly hooked up with you."
A girl who plans to stay and become your live-in son-in-law in Liumiao Town."
The old man was happy and said, "That's great. We in a poor and remote country lack everything. What we lack most is young people who are educated and knowledgeable."
The president and the old man kept talking to each other, which made Lu Chuan blush.
The old man added: "The road to Sanhe Village is not easy to walk. Let's do this. I will find a tractor with a bucket later and send you there early tomorrow morning."
Xia Chen and others quickly thanked them.
At this time, Komiaohara also came back.
Xia Chen hugged him over again and asked, "Have the sisters eaten?"
Miao Yuan said with a smile: "While I was eating, my sisters asked me to thank my brother."
Xia Chen really liked this little guy with a tiger-like head and a tough brain. He scraped his nose and said with a smile: "You're welcome, you are such a clever little kid. Hurry up and eat. Pick out what you like."
Miao Yuan nodded, glanced at his grandpa, and saw his grandpa smiling at him, then picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
The meal lasted until eight o'clock, and everyone was tipsy.
During the exchange with the old man, Xia Chen learned his name - Miao Shanhuai.
He could hear some other flavors in the old man's words, and felt that this old man was not an authentic farmer.
After asking, his judgment was confirmed. When the old man was young, he worked at the county tractor station for several years. Although he had never left Lanwan City in his life, he had seen a lot of people in this three-acre land in Liumiao Town.
A knowledgeable person.
He returned to the town after he retired.
After they had eaten and drank enough, Miao Shanhuai brought a few beds and blankets for a few people and asked them to rest early so that they could start their journey early tomorrow morning.
He went to contact the tractor.
Everyone couldn't sleep, especially Xia Chen and the president. They lay on the kang with their eyes wide open and chatted with Lu Chuan about his experience of teaching in the past year.
Lu Chuan couldn't even open his eyes and said to the two of them: "Tomorrow you will find out by following me to the village. Go to sleep. I really can't stand it any longer."
The two guys calmed down, closed their eyes, and fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Xia Chen's biological clock reminded him on time that it was six o'clock.
Lao Liang Shengsheng forced him into this.
He got up, put on his shoes and went out, and saw Xiao Miaoyuan in the middle of the yard, whistling haha.
That chicken is shaking, bulinbulin.
"Young man, what kind of kung fu are you practicing?" Xia Chen walked over and asked Miao Yuan.
"Hello, brother, I'm going to do some boxing." Miao Yuan was still smiling.
"Oh, you are quite professional." Xia Chen was shocked.
The old man walked in from the outside and saw Xia Chen chatting with Miao Yuan. He smiled and said, "It's time to get up."
Xia Chen stood up and said, "Uncle, did you go out early in the morning?"
"I have made an agreement with my cousin nephew again, and we have agreed that he will take you to the mountains after breakfast," Miao Shanhuai said.
"I'm causing you trouble."
"Hey, it's nothing. You're welcome."
Xia Chen stopped being polite to him. When he turned his head, he saw two heads sticking out of the window of the main room. Two girls were looking out of the window.
He smiled, these two girls must be the ones without pants.
Suddenly he remembered that he bought a lot of sportswear before coming here. It was originally for the students in Sanhe Village. He bought a lot. Xia Chen went back to the house, opened a huge suitcase, took out two sets of clothes and left
Come back and hand it to the old man.
"Uncle Miao, I brought these clothes from the capital. They are new and have never been worn once. Please accept them. I will give each of the two girls a set. Don't refuse. Otherwise, I really won't dare to wear them again next time I come here.
Sorry to trouble you." Xia Chen stuffed the clothes into the old man's hands.
