Chapter 7 Su Hong
"Boss, you said she can't do anything. What are we going to do with the food in the future?"
Zhang Jing looked at Zhao Yi and said with some concern.
Zhao Yi glanced at his silly wife, wondering why she was worrying about a stranger for no reason.
"Don't worry, we don't need to worry about the people who can wear leather shoes and go to the countryside."
Zhao Yi patted Zhang Jing on the head gently and said with a smile.
This matter is not as simple as it seems. Who is that stupid? Even if someone has never been involved in farm work, it will take a month at most to adapt. Zhao Yi remembered one thing, that is, this girl always ran to the cowshed for no reason, and Li Dequan told her several times, but it was of no use. There was no trouble in the cowshed, so he just ignored her.
It was because there was always wine in the packages sent from her home, and she would give Li Dequan a bottle from time to time. Li Dequan just turned a blind eye to these things.
Zhao Yi felt that the other party must have come here on his own initiative, with the purpose of taking care of people he was familiar with or relatives in the cowshed, but these things had nothing to do with Zhao Yi.
early morning.
Everyone rushed to the team headquarters, and from time to time some people were discussing yesterday's topic.
"Su Zhiqing is such a dumb girl, she's even worse than my Goudan. My Goudan is seven years old and can herd cattle without getting lost."
"Yes, he said he was taking care of her. Don't do good things with bad intentions. He left her lost in the mountains. How can we explain this to the comrades in the Youth League Office?"
Li Dequan's wife also echoed.
The family was very concerned about Su Hong. Since this girl was sensible, they gave her two kilograms of cakes and a few feet of cloth as soon as she arrived.
Originally, the work of the educated youth was not arranged by the team, but by the team leader. However, this girl couldn't do farm work, so the educated youth compound had to ask the team for help. Originally, people thought that herding cattle was a good job, but who knew that this girl couldn't even herd cattle properly.
Now it seems that the only option is to squeeze a spot into the team at the pig farm.
noon.
Everyone was eating lunch in the shade in the field when Zhao Yi saw Li Dequan walking towards them with a worried look on his face.
"What's wrong, boss?"
Li Dequan's wife looked at Li Dequan and said with concern.
"Su Hong fell into a pit while shoveling manure. I have thought about all the easy jobs in Wangou Village, but there is really no job suitable for her."
Li Dequan said helplessly.
Just after pulling the person up and waiting for Su Hong to wash up, Su Hong gave Li Dequan a lot of things, such as malted milk, biscuits, and candies. Li Dequan was worrying about how to arrange Su Hong's work.
"Then let her follow me."
Li Dequan's wife said quickly.
Li Dequan's wife is the director of the Women's Federation of the brigade. She also works in the team when she has nothing to do. Most of the time she goes to meetings to publicize policies. She can bring someone to help her or not.
"I don't think so. The commune wants each brigade to hold a literacy class, which teaches people to read for two hours every night. I think this job is just right for her. Although the work points are not much, it is still work points. If the work points are not enough for the grain distribution, she can spend money to make up for it."
After much thought, Li Dequan came up with only this one solution. He would not care what the girl did, as long as she did not run away.
"Okay."
Li Dequan's wife nodded.
Everyone in Zhao Yi's group laughed so hard that the food in their mouths popped out. He was probably the only one who could shovel himself into the pit.
"Everyone, please be quiet."
Li Dequan arrived at the area in charge of Group 2 not long after and said to everyone.
Everyone then stopped talking and looked at Li Dequan curiously.
"The team is going to run a literacy class to teach everyone how to read. We need to go and listen for two hours every day after work. It's voluntary and there will be no work points subsidy."
After Li Dequan finished speaking, he didn't care what everyone thought and continued to rush to other places. In addition to Wangou Village, Li Dequan had to go to other villages to notify them. A brigade could manage many small teams.
"What's the point of knowing how to read? If you don't know how to read, you can still work to support your family. Even if you know how to read, you still have to work."
Several women shook their heads.
When Zhao Yi heard this, he shook his head. It was true that there was not much difference between knowing how to read and not knowing how to read, but the difference between having a diploma and not having one was huge.
In the evening, everyone went home one after another, and after dinner they all came to the team headquarters.
Su Hong got a few pieces of boards from somewhere to assemble a simple blackboard. She stood next to the blackboard and looked at the people who came to listen to the class with small stools.
Holding a first-grade textbook that I borrowed from somewhere, I was ready to teach from the beginning.
Zhao Yi did not come to attend the class. He just let Zhang Jing learn to read. He had been to school before and finished the fifth grade at Wangou Primary School. He just did not have a very good relationship with Li Dequan, so even though he was educated, he could not get a job as a scorekeeper.
Few students in rural primary schools can complete the fifth grade.
At this time, Zhao Yi was wandering in the mountains, looking for traces of animals.
If you want to get a better job, it's not enough to have the ability, you also have to understand the ways of the world. The ways of the world are courtesy. No one will pay attention to you if you only talk.
After working in the mountains for a while, Zhao Yi returned to the village only when it gradually darkened.
At this time, the literacy class had just finished its get out of class.
There was no electricity in the village and candles were considered a luxury. We couldn't bear to continue the class with candles lit.
When Zhang Jing walked back home, Zhao Yi had already prepared dinner.
"The head of the family should go to my mom's place and get an iron pot."
Zhang Jing brought up the matter again.
Although she knew that her husband was capable of earning money, an iron pot was not cheap. She could borrow from her mother's family so that she could pay it back slowly. In a village without side jobs, it was not allowed to buy on credit at the commune supply and marketing cooperative.
"Okay, bring a fish tomorrow and give the remaining two dollars to mom. I'll tell you the rest when I get back from the city tomorrow."
Seeing that Zhang Jing wanted her own iron pot so much, Zhao Yi had no choice but to agree to the proposal.
dawn.
Zhao Yi started walking towards the mountains. He caught two fish last night. He wanted to send one to Zhang Jing's mother's home, so he could only sell one.
There were many signs of animal activities in the mountains where we wandered yesterday, so maybe we can get a good harvest.
The entrance of Wangou Village.
When Li Daju saw Zhang Jing carrying a fish and walking out of the village, she was so angry that her mouth was crooked.
"This spendthrift woman must be the one instigating the boss behind the scenes, otherwise the boss would be the most filial."
Li Daju muttered as she watched Zhang Jing leaving.
"That's right. We have watched Xiaoyi grow up. He is very well behaved and obedient. This girl must have taught him how to do this. Look at that big fish, but she didn't even tell me to cut half for you and take the rest back to her parents' home.
It seems that you should talk to Xiaoyi about this matter. Zhao Yi is an honest and hardworking kid. It will be easy to find another one if you leave him. ”
A woman immediately answered.
"Yeah yeah."
The other women also came to watch the fun and take it as a form of entertainment in their spare time. It would be best if they could fight.
