Chapter 7 Sign up to go to the countryside
Tang Yue tidied the table, muttered silently, and instantly entered the space. She first fed the pigs, cattle, sheep, and rabbits until they were half-grown pups. Then she went to the lower reaches of the river to feed the chickens, ducks, and geese. Unexpectedly, she had an unexpected harvest and picked up seven small eggs. She heard that the first eggs of chickens are the most nutritious, but she didn't know if it was true.
The water plants planted in the river have all grown out, and the small fish fry have grown a little bigger. On the way back to the yard, I saw the sweet potatoes growing particularly well in the fields. I thought that when it is time to harvest them, I will plant another crop of sugarcane and sugar beets.
Entering the bedroom, Tang Yue prepared to sleep in the space tonight, thinking that she would go to the Youth League Office tomorrow to take a look, and then go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a few pounds of egg cakes. The neighbor Grandma Zhang and grandma are good friends. Thanks to her family's help, she can take another pound of meat from the space. In this era, this thank-you gift will not be low.
Tang Yue fell into a drowsy sleep while lying on the bed. When she woke up the next day, it was still dark outside.
Tang Yue got up, brushed her teeth and washed her face, applied some lotion and set, ate a rice ball and was full, then walked out of the yard and went to feed the livestock first. This time she received another twelve eggs, and soon all fifteen hens would lay eggs. The space was good except for the lack of a bathroom. It shouldn't be difficult to build one when she had time!
When it was light outside, Tang Yue went out of the space, took her cross-body bag, took her money, locked the door, and went out. On the way, she met her neighbor, Grandma Zhang. When Grandma Zhang saw Tang Yue, she hurriedly asked, "Yueyue, how are you?"
When Tang Yue heard Grandma Zhang asking her, she quickly replied, "Granny Zhang, hello."
"It's good, it's good, it's good."
"Grandma Zhang, please take care of yourself, go buy something."
"Okay, okay, be careful," Grandma Zhang reminded worriedly.
"Grandma Zhang, I know." Tang Yue was still touched that someone cared about her.
Grandma Zhang has about ten people in her family. Her family is relatively harmonious. Her three sons and daughter-in-law all have jobs, and she has a lot of grandchildren. The older ones work, and the younger ones study. Today, the street office came to Grandma Zhang's house to mobilize people. I don't know who in Grandma Zhang's family will go to the countryside, but except for her only daughter, all those who don't have jobs will go to the countryside.
Tang Yue walked in the alleys of Beijing City. Although the buildings were a bit shabby, they were very artistic. When she arrived at the Youth League Office, no one had come to work yet. Maybe they came too early. Tang Yue stood by and waited. After about half an hour, someone came to work and checked the time.
The visitor was a young woman. When she saw someone waiting at the door, she hurriedly asked, "Comrade, what can I do for you?"
Tang Yue quickly responded: "Auntie, don't you want to actively respond to the country's call and go to the countryside? I'm here to sign up today."
The women were so excited when they heard that someone was being mobilized to go to the countryside. Not many people are willing to go to the countryside now, but mobilization is difficult. It is rare to see someone being mobilized to go to the countryside, so we must seize the opportunity. They hurriedly said, "Little girl, you have a high level of ideological awareness. Your surname is Sun, and you are the director of the Youth League Office. You can call me Aunt Sun."
When Tang Yue heard this, she immediately took advantage of the situation and said, "Then I'll call you Aunt Sun. Aunt Sun, I want to go to the countryside in Northeast China. Is that okay with you?"
Upon hearing this, Sun Renyi hurriedly said, "Oh, little girl, why are you going to such a cold place? If you want to sign up to go to the countryside now, you can choose a place that is not so cold."
"Auntie Sun, I heard that in the north, people beat roe deer with sticks and scoop fish and pheasants into the pot. I wonder if they won't starve," Tang Yue said, pretending to yearn for that place.
When Sun Yiren heard that, he still thought that he was not getting enough to eat at home, and said with a distressed look on his face, "Is that so? Then auntie will find a better place for you."
Upon hearing this, Tang Yue hurriedly said, "Thank you Aunt Sun for thinking of me like this."
"Little girl, I haven't asked you your name yet. Do you have your household registration book with you?" Sun Boren just remembered that he forgot to ask your name.
"Bring it, bring it, Aunt Sun, my name is Tang Yue."
"Just wait here, I'll do it for you."
"Thank you, Auntie Sun."
"It's okay, wait."
"Okay," Tang Yue thought to herself that people nowadays really serve the people.
After sitting and waiting for more than twenty minutes, Sun Yeren came back and said, "Tang Yue, wait a little longer."
"No, no." It really didn't take long, only 20 minutes.
"The place I chose for you is the Hongqi Brigade of the Hongqi Commune in Pingzhen, a black market town in Northeast China. The conditions there are good, and the brigade leader is smart. He built several large houses to rent out to the educated youth. If you don't rent them out, there are collective dormitories and plenty of land, so you won't run out of food." In order to let this pretty girl suffer a little, Sun Yeren made some effort to find such a good place.
When Tang Yue heard such good conditions, how could she be dissatisfied? "Thank you, Aunt Sun. When do we leave?"
"Three days later at 12:00 in the morning. This time it's urgent. Here are 230 yuan of subsidies for educated youth and some tickets. You can buy them first. Here is the certificate. You can get the train ticket with the certificate when the time comes," Sun Ren quickly handed the ticket to the girl.
"Okay, thank you Aunt Sun, I'll go shopping now, bye", Tang Yue got what she wanted and said goodbye.
"Goodbye, little girl." Sun Renxiao did not try to keep her, as he knew that the little girl was in a hurry to go shopping.
After leaving the educated youth point, Tang Yue planned to buy something today, follow the scumbag tomorrow, and leave the day after tomorrow.
After walking for half an hour, I arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative and bought five sacks for luggage, two lunch boxes, two enamel cups, two washbasins, ten pairs of work gloves, two kilograms of hard candy, and two kilograms of egg cakes. These two types were for gifts.
After buying the things, I went to the post office on the way. The subsidy certificate had to be moved there, and I could continue to receive it there. After that, I took the things home.
After returning home, Tang Yue took out a pound of pork from the space, picked up a pound of hard candy and a pound of egg cake, and went to Grandma Zhang's house next door. After a lot of refusals, she finally accepted it. Tang Yue hurried home, took the pound of hard candy and a pound of egg cake to the Street Office to deliver them. After pushing and refusing, Tang Yue was a homebody, and she was really not used to this kind of interpersonal relationship.
I didn't want to cook in the afternoon, but I was afraid that the lack of smoke in the chimney would make people feel something was wrong, so I put a pot of water in it, put two pieces of wood in it and left it alone.
Entering the space in the bedroom, Tang Yue first prepared a bowl of rice with braised meat. After eating, she packed the things she wanted to take with her. She took out the sack she bought and stuffed it with a quilt weighing twelve kilograms and a quilt weighing one kilogram, as a cover and a cushion.
Two quilts were stuffed into a bag, and the patches on the original clothes were removed so that they looked new again. All the clothes were taken with them and could be worn when going to work.
I kept the skirt and packed up the pots, kitchen knives, cutting boards, enamel cups, bowls, washbasins, locks, and everything else that could be put away. I could only pack four things. Fortunately, I was strong enough and it was not a problem to carry them.
Tang Yue found the defective cloth she bought in the modern world and sewed a backpack to carry the food she would need on the road. She only put 20 yuan of money on her and put away the rest. She washed the packaging paper of the hot sauce and took a bottle of it with her to dip the steamed buns and food on the road. She also took half a pound of beef jerky and half a pound of braised pork in the lunch box.
I walked to the yard and poured myself a cup of spiritual water to drink, then took my clothes and went out to take a shower. Fortunately, I had just boiled water, so I washed and dried my clothes at the same time. I took all the things at home with me. I would not be back until thirteen at most. I left two bundles of firewood, two bags of coal, and harvested the vegetables in the yard. By the way, I filled a bag of mud on the ground to cover the bulge of the mechanism.
Tang Yue felt that she had hamster genes and would collect anything. With nothing to do, she took out her computer and watched TV dramas all afternoon. She had braised pig's trotters for dinner, which were delicious. It was getting late, so she went out to feed the livestock and picked up fifteen eggs. She put them in the storage compartment. There were more than thirty eggs, so she would cook them in a pot when there were more.
I continued watching the drama in the evening, and went to bed when I was tired. I got up very early the next day. When I went out, it was just dawn. Tang Yue planned to wait for the scumbag family in a corner where no one would notice. I had to see them clearly, remember their faces, and come back at night.
Thinking that I will leave tomorrow, I decided to eat out today and not go back. I have to say, the beef noodles in the state-owned restaurant are really delicious. No meat coupons are required, and a bowl is only 10 cents, which is a bit expensive for that era. The braised pork at noon was also delicious. After eating, I walked around and accidentally wandered into the black market.
Tang Yue originally wanted to see the legendary black market, but was afraid of being caught, so it was more important to track the scumbag. He did not deserve a name in Tang Yue's eyes.
Tang Yue followed him until he went home to eat at seven o'clock. He went out again at 12 o'clock. This was a good opportunity. She followed him and walked to a deserted place with an electric baton in her hand. She pressed the switch and shocked the scum. He was knocked down in less than two seconds. She walked forward to check. She closed her eyes and kicked his legs. There was no reaction. His chest was heaving. He was not dead. Don't worry. She took out a wooden stick and hit his legs hard. With Tang Yue's strength, his legs were in good condition. His bones would definitely be smashed into slag. He didn't wake up even after that.
Tang Yue returned to the scumbag's home again. She didn't let anyone go except the children, breaking one leg for each of them. After taking revenge, she felt more relaxed and went straight home.
They walked to the door and stopped to say hello to Grandma Zhang and tell her that tomorrow's train would go to the countryside. Grandma Zhang didn't understand, but she couldn't change it since she had already registered. She could only ask Tang Yue to take good care of herself. Tang Yue asked Grandma Zhang to help look after the room and make sure it was not occupied by others. She didn't care about anything else.
Tang Yue did not dare to give the key to Grandma Zhang, because Grandma Zhang was too familiar with Yuan's house and was afraid that she would be suspicious if her things were missing.
Go back home and go to the kitchen to boil water for a bath. Drink a cup of spiritual water before taking a bath. There should be no toxins after this. Wash your head at the same time.
I was drying my hair in front of the mirror in the bedroom, and suddenly I didn't want to let my bangs down, so I combed it into a ponytail after drying it, and took out two hair clips to comb my bangs up. It still looks better this way. Those who dare to do it and are not afraid of breaking bones can give it a try.
Tang Yue used her mind to feed the livestock, collect eggs, harvest the land, plant all the sugarcane seeds and sugar beet seeds, and plant rice on the remaining land. She also harvested twenty bottles of honey and divided them into boxes. After finishing all these, she went to sleep because she had to get up early tomorrow.
