As soon as it rained, the water in the big river rose and filled the small river. Even the waterlogged ditch at the head of the village was filled with water.
None of the grass nests are deep, with half a meter reaching the sky.
Everyone rolled up their trouser legs. Lin Yutong was not used to this, so he had to look for it in the ditch on the edge.
"Master, let me help you." A simple girl next to him, wearing a flowered gown and black trousers, smiled at Lin Yutong.
Lin Yutong was stunned, "You are that Li..."
"My name is Li Guofang." The girl rolled up her trouser legs and took two steps inside.
"Call me Yu Tongcheng. Come over when you're free, and I'll teach you. Don't be so polite." Lin Yutong quickly agreed with a smile. Don't underestimate the production team leader, who arranges people to work every day, and everyone has to weigh the importance.
"Hey!" Li Guofang responded shyly. Uncle Wu said, this young master has great medical skills. Even if he learns how to treat colds and stomachaches, he can be a hygienist himself. He doesn't have to work in the fields, and he still earns more work points.
. Like her eldest brother said, it is not impossible to find connections and go to work in a big hospital in the county. When you arrive in the county, you are a city dweller. You have been selling food all your life, so you have to be more careful. Seeing others without airs, she has to be more respectful.
This grassy beach is not small, but no one is fighting for it.
The female educated youths were surrounded by several local young men. They said they were helping, but in fact they were showing courtesy.
Lin Yutong strung a bunch of long fish on vines and put them aside. Then he scooped out the small fish that no one wanted with a special gourd and scooped them out of the water. He slowly fished out two pots and planned to send them back.
Li Guofang helped Lin Yutong carry a basin, stood up, and was stunned.
Lin Yutong followed Li Guofang's line of sight and saw that it was Ge Hongbing and Tang Tang fishing in a puddle. The two were teasing each other, and they looked like a young couple.
She glanced at Li Guofang again. The look in this girl's eyes was too obvious. She knew she was interested in Ge Hongbing.
The other side seemed to have noticed the line of sight here, Ge Hongbing and Tang Tang both looked this way.
Lin Yutong did not avoid them, and said with a calm smile, "Do you have a lot of fish over there? They are all small here. You can only grill and dry fish."
Ge Hongbing didn't notice anything strange, he laughed loudly: "Why don't you see that boy Yin Zhen? Don't go deep alone."
Lin Yutong responded, but did not say where the Fourth Master had gone.
Carrying two pots of fish back to the yard, Professor Cheng's wife, Teacher Feng, was sweeping the yard. Lin Yutong said without anyone else: "Aunt Feng, help me deal with these small fish. I'll get some more. Let's dry them tonight.
Just put it away and put it away until next spring."
Teacher Feng was wearing old clothes, but he was clean and tidy, and his hair was combed meticulously. She had already heard from Lao Cheng just now, and knew that the children living in this courtyard did not seem to reject them. Therefore, she was not surprised.
He pointed to an unused stone trough in the yard. This should be used to feed the horses. There are not so many horses now, so there is an empty one. It has been cleaned. "Pour it in. I will clean it up in a while." Get the scissors.
Just cut open the belly and clean out the dirt. It doesn't take much trouble. But young people don't have the patience.
Lin Yutong saw that the other person didn't have a cold face, so he smiled and agreed, poured it in, and immediately rushed back with the empty basin.
Li Guofang is not slow in his actions, but his mood is not high. A young girl who has a secret crush must feel quite miserable.
After a busy day, Teacher Feng cleaned up two buckets of fish.
When the fourth master came back, Lin Yutong was setting up a large firewood for the pot and a small fish on the kang. The whole room was full of fishy smell.
"Ouch! You are really capable of tossing." Fourth Master frowned. He would rather not eat than go to such trouble.
What can Lin Yutong do? If you can't turn on a small stove, you can't just eat boiled vegetables.
"Go inside and wash it. It will be ready in a while." Lin Yutong looked at the dried fish in the basket and thought that if it was steamed together with chili ham and steamed in a bowl, it would be very good for rice.
After the fourth master washed up, Lin Yutong put all the rice into the pot, steamed a bowl of fish on top, and put a bowl of eggs in the pot.
Then he divided half of the dried fish out and said, "How about I send it to the room in front. I'm helping you today."
Fourth Master also wanted to talk to someone, so he took it.
The fourth master didn't come back until Lin Yutong put all the food on the table.
White rice, steamed fish, scrambled eggs, and seaweed soup.
"No state-owned restaurants have such dishes." Fourth Master said while eating.
"Did you eat at a state-owned hotel today?" Lin Yutong asked.
"Apart from state-owned restaurants, where else are there restaurants?" Fourth Master smiled and said, "There are only steamed buns from Sanhe Noodles. If you want to eat noodles, there are dried noodles. There are also fried vegetables for sale. There are no meat dishes, and the meat is not available at all. It is said that today
Their restaurant gave them a pig's trotter and a pig's tail, and the boss even bought them."
"Then what's the last thing to eat?" Lin Yutong put the eggs into Fourth Master's bowl and asked.
"One bowl of noodles for each person." Fourth Master sighed, "Wu Chunlai also said that this is the first time he has eaten refined grains in two years."
"There are plenty of melons and vegetables now, but life will be even more difficult in winter." Lin Yutong sighed, "In two days, the ground will be able to walk on, and it won't be so muddy. I guess the corn, sorghum, and soybeans will all have to be harvested. The parts have been found.
Are you ready?" If not, you have to go to work in the fields.
"Found it." Fourth Master whispered: "The one closest to us is the Third Regiment and the Fifth Company. We have already agreed to get them some oil and refined grains and exchange them for some national food stamps."
"It's mainly food stamps. Food stamps are better than money." Lin Yutong breathed a sigh of relief. The two of them were not short of food, but it was inconvenient to do other things. They also needed circulating hard currency.
Okay. "What do you say to others without revealing the truth?"
"Don't worry about it. When did I miss it?" Fourth Master pushed the bowl. Today's bowl of noodles has no texture at all. Since when did eating a big bowl of rice become a pleasure?
?
Early the next morning, the bell on the big tree at the entrance of the village rang. It was time to start work.
The fourth master went to the team headquarters yard to repair his car, while Lin Yutong rushed to the entrance of the village. Then he found a group of educated youths and stood behind them.
"Where's Yin Zhen?" Ge Hongbing asked.
Lin Yutong couldn't pretend not to know, "Zhishu Wu has something to do with him. He seems to be repairing his car."
Ge Hongbing nodded, and as long as he was not absent from work, he wouldn't ask.
When the workers came down, Lin Yutong was left on the field to peel corn cobs. The other educated youths went to the field to break the corn cobs.
"Why?" Yang Liu said loudly, "Why does she do the lightest work like those aunts?"
Lin Yutong pursed her lips and said nothing. She really couldn't work in the fields, so she might as well do something within her power. She knew her own business, so she would not take the initiative and pretend to be proactive.
Li Zhong was a burly and strong man, and he immediately scolded: "What are you shouting for? What are you shouting for? She just came here and doesn't understand anything. She points to what she can do in the fields. She can do this job. The other members haven't said anything yet.
, you educated youths started making trouble first. Why are you so ignorant?"
Yang Liu is a slender and tall girl, weak in literary skills but very talkative. She looked at Lin Yutong and snorted, "How many centimeters will the captain give me?"
An adult male earns ten centimeters a day, and most women earn nine centimeters. There are also good workers who earn about the same as a man. But girls like them earn eight centimeters.
Captain Li chuckled and said, "Then give me seven centimeters." With the subsidy for health workers at the end of the year, we can catch up to ten centimeters.
Lin Yutong nodded towards Captain Li with understanding.
Only then did Yang Liu snort, "That's pretty much it."
After a while, corn cobs were brought back one after another. The walking tractor had been repaired, and Wu Chunlai was driving it now. Lin Yutong looked up and saw the fourth master holding a carriage and sitting on the shaft.
He's not tired from this job either.
Lin Yutong threw over a pair of brand new white gloves and said, "Take them with you." It would save you the trouble of scratching your hands.
The remaining male laborers each pull a cart to the big field. Compared with driving the carriage, it is not a job at all. The only thing to do is to unload the corn cobs from the cart. But this is a big field.
There were quite a few women in their forties or fifties, and one person helped to finish the unloading. Asking the carriage to make two more trips would be better than anything else.
"How did that kid get into the camp?" Wang Limin asked Ge Hongbing.
Ge Hongbing lifted up the hem of his clothes and wiped his sweat, "Who knows? If you leave a few words when someone is leaving, you will also take advantage. Now your anger is of no use." He couldn't see Wang Limin being so incompetent.
A petty person.
Yesterday the captain's sister helped Lin Yutong fish, and he guessed that the two people must have had some kind of relationship. But so what, many of the educated youths who had a close relationship were recruiting workers and returning to the city.
Although shucking corn is the lightest job, at the end of the day, my shoulders still hurt, my arms hurt, and even my fingers hurt.
"Still can't be in the production team." Fourth Master squeezed Lin Yutong's shoulder, "The hygienist in the production team is not called a hygienist." He still has to work when the farm is busy.
"You want to go to the Corps?" Lin Yutong asked.
The Fourth Master nodded: "You have to have a chance. Don't worry about it. After this half a year at most, I will find a way not to ask you to do menial work anymore." He made a mental calculation and thought that he would be doing this autumn and there would be no work in the winter.
.After the Chinese New Year and before spring begins, we can always make plans.
After all, there is no room for advancement if you jump in the queue. You will still be a farmer after working for ten years. But the Corps is different. This country will not always be like this, but how long it will last, who knows? He is not an official fan, he has been an emperor.
A good person will not be infatuated with any official position, but he cannot let women suffer along with him. Besides, what will happen if you get married and have children in the future? Still shrinking in a place as big as a palm? This is absolutely not okay!
People, no matter what they do, they must have a hope, a goal, and a goal. Living in a hazy way without knowing how to plan or strive for is really not very exciting. (. )
