Attack Stream of Life

    When the new educated youth first arrived, the old educated youth asked them if they wanted to eat together as usual.

    Generally speaking, everyone will not object, because eating seems simple, but as long as you think about it, it includes gathering firewood, carrying water, washing rice and vegetables, burning fire, cooking and cooking, Steps such as washing dishes, you know that it is by no means an easy task.

      This is really a mutually beneficial good thing.

    The beautiful comrade He said on the spot that she can't cook, and she doesn't have the strength to carry water. Can she wash the dishes? As soon as you hear it, say yes, girls, be careful and wash the dishes clean. The new male educated youth said that he was still strong enough to carry water, and everyone felt that he was okay.

    When she arrived at this comrade Bai, she seemed to be very talkative, but she asked how much food she would pay every month and how much food she could eat every day. As soon as the girl converted her heart, it was not right, she ate much less than what she handed in, and there were traces on her face.

    She didn't know the various ingredients that Comrade Xiaoyu and Comrade Zhaoming handed in every month, nor the old educated youth's tradition of using food to exchange food with villagers. She didn't ask any questions in her heart. I think it was the old educated youth who bullied her for a long time.

    So she refused at once, saying that she likes to cook by herself, so I don't bother everyone.

    Come on, it's okay to have less people.

    Bai Zhiqing thought she could do well at first, but things were not as she imagined. Coal stoves are used in the city, but wood kilns are used in the countryside. She needs to spend more time picking up firewood and water. He Zhiqing, who lives in the same room with her, can sleep beautifully and eat breakfast when she wakes up, but she has to get up an hour earlier to cook.

    What's more, her cooking skills are not as good as that of Comrade Xiaoyu, and the sauces and ingredients she has are not rich enough, and the food she makes can be imagined.

    The fruits, vegetables and livestock in the yard are all old and educated youths. She wants, can, and there is an open space for her to use. She can grow vegetables and raise chickens by herself. These are all easy solutions. Growing vegetables and raising chickens doesn’t take so much effort, but the sauce is out of the question. It was brought out by Xiao Yu Zhiqing, as well as cooking wine, fermented bean curd, marinated eggs, wolfberry red dates and other materials. It was brought out by Comrade Zhaoming.

    Some of the old educated youth have mastered the skills of netting fish and hunting, and sometimes they can eat fish and game. If the food handed in is sufficient, and there is excess, everyone will go to the villagers and replace them with lotus root starch, lotus seeds, mushrooms and other locally available ingredients.

    So, don't look at each staple food is only 2 taels, eat a lot of heart, there is a supper from time to time, and you have a good life.

    Bai Zhiqing looked at his sloppy food, and then looked at the laughter and laughter over there, not to mention how unpleasant it was. But she wanted to join, but Comrade Xiaoyu was not used to her. At first, this girl knew that she would hand in 20 catties of grain every month, but when she had two or two staple meals, she looked at Comrade Xiaoyu, and Comrade Xiaoyu felt in his heart. Can remember.

    She is generous, so she looks at people, so she has a bullied expression on her face, is she sick?

    Because of cooking, the old educated youth had a prejudice against Bai educated youth, and later one thing made them resist this new lesbian.

    The educated youth point of Shangwan Village is often visited by villagers.

    The captain was afraid that the educated youth who had just arrived would not be used to it, so he came a few times to talk. A few villagers who are good at wine came twice with the things they planted on their private plots to change their wine. The old lady in the village came here twice to change the sauce with the pickled and spicy radishes she made. There are also teenagers in the village who came to ask for help with textbooks.

    She looked vigilant, the captain came, she hid, the villagers who changed the wine came, she hid, the old lady came, she saw it and walked away, even a few hairy children Not her good face.

    Everyone is surprised, what is she hiding? Is there a monster chasing outside or something?

    However, the most unacceptable thing is that Bai Zhiqing broke the example of educated young people's "self-reliance".

    She worked fine for the first half month. Although she was a foreign worker, she could still do a little bit. Later, she was very reluctant to come. Don't help, the girl blushed and said nothing, just stopped what she was doing.

    The young man felt invited and finished the rest of the work with energy.

    After that, the same situation happened again. There was a diligent young man who came to help. She was the shy person who didn't refuse or admit it. .

    The eldest brother in the educated youth frowned. They are old educated youths, and they don't ask anyone to help them when they are tired. They would rather take less work points themselves than owe them favors. sensible.

    Alas, once this trend has arisen, it will be difficult to suppress it. This little girl doesn't know that it's not free to let people do the work? It's okay now, but in the future, do people feel that they are unwilling to do so much work? This is going to cause trouble, won't the educated youth in their village be as noisy as other villages in the future?

    I was worried when Big Brother saw Zhaoming walking over.

    "Hey, Brother Mao Dan, don't bully her because our new comrade doesn't know the situation."

    Zhao Ming smiled, his eyes were crescent moon, and he said with a smirk, "The rule in our village is that male comrades only work for the future husband's family for free. The new comrades probably don't know the situation. , let you do a favor and become your daughter-in-law inexplicably, is it wrong?"

    "You don't think so, then don't do it. So many people watch, what if you accidentally become a fait accompli? You are embarrassing."

    Zhaoming turned to look at the white educated youth who smiled awkwardly, "The village is more conservative, if you don't know the situation, don't do such misleading things. Comrade Bai, if you want to If you want it, say yes, if you don't want it, then reject it. You can't say anything, it's really easy for people to misunderstand. "

    Usually you can talk, how? Was the tongue sawed when refusing? You can't treat everyone like a fool.

    "I didn't think so..." More and more people are looking here, this favored female educated youth seems to have not expected that there are people like Zhaoming who don't understand the style and don't give face, so she speaks and prepares After explaining, only three words were said, and Zhaoming truncated it.

    "I heard it, people don't have that kind of heart. Lesbians are embarrassed. If you see this **** in the future, just treat it as a rejection. Oh, girl, shy, you understand."

    Zhao Ming saw many young people in the village gathered and raised his voice, "We came from the city to receive re-education. If we come here but don't work and eat for free, what is it? Receive re-education? It's not a relative, not an acquaintance, so let someone help you with the work. How many shameless people can do this? Our comrade Bai is not such a shameless person. She is thin-skinned and embarrassed to refuse. I am thick-skinned, and I refuse for others, so all of you must not help with your work, this is not helping others, but harming them."

    Zhao Ming also reiterated the meaning again in local dialect. The young men who had helped with the work were taken away by their mother with their ears twisted, leaving an embarrassed expression on their faces. Bai Zhiqing, looking at Zhaoming, was hesitant to say anything.

    But the other educated youths neither comforted her, nor shared the hatred of the enemy.

    This broke the usual gentle appearance that Zhaoming left to people, and he was tough when it was time to be tough. Anyway, even the educated youth eldest brother felt that he probably couldn't do it, and he couldn't speak to the girl's tearful expression.

    Lesbians didn't say anything.

    What kind of person Zhao Ming is, they know. Although he is young, he is very good at taking care of people, and he is also attentive to women. Once, a girl came to have a little day, and the pain made her face turn blue. No other **** men noticed. He quietly brought a glass thermos with boiling water over.

    Besides, they themselves despised this new white educated youth.

    I really don't know how the family raised it, I can't just learn the intrigue of the big family back in the feudal period, right? Otherwise, how did you raise such a sweet-hearted girl?

    He Zhiqing has something to say here. She and Bai Zhiqing live in the same house, because she eats collective meals, so she doesn't have to get up so early in the morning. But when Bai Zhiqing cooks by himself, he has to get up early. She was very unhappy, very unbalanced, and it was over when she started quietly. If she had to smash the pot and smash the pot, it would be like a symphony, bang bang bang dong dong dong, and it wouldn't be over until He Zhiqing was woken up.

     That's it, as soon as they are seen, they will say something about capitalism.

    Bah! I am beautiful! I am beautiful!

    Chef Yu also said that he came to borrow seasonings again and again, but he did not return it. Let her pay it back, she said that this seasoning is too stingy, and she is angry if you don't let her pay it back. Chef Yu's seasonings were also collected from more than half of the county. It's not a matter of money, but a lot of effort.

    After that, Chef Yu stopped borrowing it, and Bai Zhiqing cried to people again, saying that Chef Yu excluded her, and the aunts in the village came, but she didn't ask. Chef Yu's temper was so violent, he told Bai Zhiqing directly in front of everyone: 'When did the aunt from the village come to change the sauce with empty hands? However, you comrade Bai dares to use other people's sauces with empty gloves, so I don't give them, is there a problem? ’

    Comrade Xiaohua is also not happy, because Comrade Xiaohua is in good condition, she has everything, that kind of Shanghai market cream, canned meat, malt milk extract... She is not stingy, but she is not generous either See whoever gives. She gave Chef Yu something, because they had a good relationship, what did others say? It was Bai Zhiqing who pointed out that Sang and scolded Huai for engaging in small groups or something.

    It's a small group, are you angry? You are pissed.

    After that, the weather was calm, and the young men and women who were about to move were isolated by their parents and went to work in another area. The old men and women in the village worked with the educated youth. Originally, the educated youths did relatively light work, which was suitable for the elderly in the village.

    Bai Zhiqing was hit hard the first time he stretched out his tentacles. On the contrary, the beautiful He Zhiqing integrated very quickly, eating and drinking, working for half a day and resting for half a day, struggling to wait for rescue in the city with four or five work points a day.

    The eldest brother in the educated youth laughed and said that Comrade He seemed to have the shadow of Zhaoming in the past, and he was a little squeamish, but he was still very practical in his life and work.

    Zhao Ming also thought of when he first arrived last year, he mixed some medicinal wine, gave a bottle to the newly arrived educated youth in the same room, and gave a bottle to each of the two newly arrived female educated youth. However, although he also gave it to Bai Zhiqing, his expression was not very enthusiastic, and he didn't say much.

    Bai Zhiqing chased after him with medicinal wine, she frowned, especially aggrieved, "Comrade Zhaoming, do you have any opinion on me?"

    "Yes." Zhao Ming said bluntly, he rarely treats people so rudely.

    Bai Zhiqing's tears almost fell.

    "Do you know how much effort it takes for us to live well here, to fit in here?"

    Zhaoming looked at Bai Zhiqing indifferently, "Why does Brother Liu don't want money to repair machinery in the village? Why is Miss Yu willing to exchange sauces with the aunt in the village even after losing money? Use your spare time to make teaching materials and teach others at night?"

    "Waste so much energy, why? Just to rectify the name of the educated youth, let people know that we people, although we can't do farm work, but we are willing to take responsibility, have a sense of responsibility, have morality, and there are many more Therefore, the villagers are also willing to respect us, treat us as their own people, and are willing to provide a lot of convenience and help. Instead of being like other villages, they are simply regarded as cancer and stinky shit.”

    "You almost destroyed it!"

    Bai Zhiqing trembled, and the tears on his eyelids finally fell.

    The bayberry trees planted in the village all bear fruit, and the purple-red ones hang on the branches. The captain called a group of skilled women to pick bayberry with a ladder.

    This kind of fruit can’t be kept, and it will spoil after two days of picking, but the fresh fruit is placed on the trolley all the way to the county, and it can’t sell at a good price. In the past, the village was very worried. You can only eat it at home, or make some bayberry wine. The local bayberry wine is actually made of fresh bayberry with sweet potato wine, and this wine will not work for too long. But it is troublesome to make the kind of fruit wine fermented with bayberry juice without wine and water like Zhaoming.

    Comrade Xiaoyu decided to teach the women in the village to make rock candy dried bayberry. After the rock candy is made, the head shrinks and becomes smaller. It can be stored in a glass jar for a long time. Sweet, not only children eat it, but women also like it. If you have a canning machine, you can also make canned bayberry, which is much more affordable than dried bayberry, but unfortunately there is no.

    There are many bayberry trees in the village, and they are not mature in one batch. He couldn't eat all of these himself. Zhaoming made a lot of money from speculation, and he wondered if he could send this thing out. Xiaoyu gave her advice. She can make rock candy dried bayberry, bayberry powder, bayberry jam, and bayberry wine, all of which are easy to store.

    The village is also thinking about this. As soon as the educated youth said it, they felt that there was a drama, so they made some samples and let people take them out to test the water. There were some young people in the village whose mouths were as dexterous as Brother Ying's, so I asked them to take samples to a few big factories to see if they got any.

    As a result, a drawing factory in the county has taken a fancy to the sweet and sour rock candy dried bayberry. They have many children in the factory and can use this as a welfare. A state-run bakery also needs a batch of dried bayberry, as well as a state-run restaurant... There are actually many state-run enterprises that have this purchase intention.

    Where there is a market, there will be sellers. The village immediately added another 'Yangmei Products Factory' attached to the commune, and signed agreements with several factories.

    However, there may not be enough bayberry in the village, and you have to go to the nearby village to buy some raw materials.

    It is easy to do this job with bayberry, and it can be done by half-old children, the elderly and women with children who cannot work at home.

    Comrade Xiaoyu greeted the young women in the village to pick bayberry together. There are standards for this thing. It is not good if the bayberry is unfamiliar, and it is not good if it is too familiar. After selecting the fruit, the next step is to make dried bayberry with rock candy.

    Zhaoming only went to the sugar-making village a month ago, and now he is going again to sign a contract with the sugar-making village brigade on behalf of the freshly-baked 'Riverberry Products Factory' in the village, and bought it at a low price Lots of rock candy, which keeps costs down.

      When there is only a little juice, take out the bayberry, put it on the grill, and bake it in the oven.

    This process is usually done by the old women in the village. They have dealt with the stove all their lives and can master the heat well.

    The collected glass jars were washed and boiled in boiling water. They were taken out with bamboo clips, drained, quickly put in dried bayberry, and sealed with oil paper. This is the finished product. Each can of dried bayberry is about half a catty, but the price is more than ten times that of fresh bayberry.

    There is also the leftover bayberry syrup from the boiled bayberry, which is very thick. These can also be sold for money. But because this concentrated bayberry juice is not much, it was directly distributed to the villagers to compensate for the regret that the villagers could not eat bayberry this year.

    Although the villagers took money and juice again, they didn’t feel sorry.

      , so she has great merit, and the village cannot let her work in vain.

    In order not to leak the formula, all kinds of herbs were put in a burlap bag, only Comrade Xiaoyu, the women's director and the captain knew what was inside. The village was also worried that Xiaoyu Zhiqing's heart was cold, and she said the formula in a fit of anger.

    Several cadres in the village discussed that from now on, every year from now on during the ripening season of bayberry, Comrade Xiaoyu will be in charge of this matter, which is considered to be very full of work points. In addition, in the first three years, the net income of all dried bayberry will be used as a reward for Comrade Xiaoyu. After three years, the reward will be reduced to 1%.

    For example, this year, these dried bayberry sold for more than 700 yuan, minus the price of glass jars, bayberry from other villages, rock sugar and various herbs, there are more than 500, of which more than 50 The block is Comrade Xiaoyu's bonus. After waiting for three years, Comrade Xiaoyu's bonus has become more than five yuan.

    No one in the village is dissatisfied, they are all very convinced now. You said, they are all human, how can people's brains work so well? Leave them here, Yangmei can only rot in the ground, and leave her there, this thing is a string of money.

    The women and the elderly in the village also thanked her. The village gave them eight points of work for a month. The village has only so much hard work in a day. , but also to bring home a few substandard goods.

    The only regret is probably Zhaoming, he probably won't be able to make bayberry wine this year, and he won't be able to make it in the future. If it weren't for the use of old loquat leaves to make loquat paste, Zhaoming felt that it would be mysterious if he could make loquat wine.

    The most important thing is that, through the road of Qiaokuan in the county, he bought a set of ancient books at a low price, as well as several antique jewelry boxes, which are a set of things, gold silk nan with gold and silver inlaid gem. There are better things, but unfortunately he can't afford them, and there are some ancient books of calligraphy and painting, but he can't identify them.

    Zhao Ming suddenly thought that the old village chief said that among the exiles in Shangwan Village, there was an antique shop.

    But this idea went through his mind once.

    No time.
