"Little boy, it's you! What's your name?"
Xu Nanxing really likes this kid, he is really smart.
"My name is Ye Tian." The child replied.
"Okay, little friend Ye Tian. Besides fruit candies, I also have peach cakes, biscuits, hawthorn slices, winter melon candies, and milk candies. Come back to the educated youth camp with me and exchange them for anything you like!"
Zhang Luyao was also greedy and was thinking about what to exchange with them.
After a few discussions, the children agreed to go back with them to exchange things for the educated youth.
The two men led a group of children and returned to the educated youth site in a mighty procession.
Xu Nanxing and the other person found many things that could be exchanged in the cabinet.
Take it to the yard and exchange it with the kids.
They were both generous and didn't care, and the child was also interested in the snacks he had never seen before, so the transaction went very smoothly for both parties.
The male educated youth who had just finished arranging the furniture were a little confused when they saw this scene.
When I heard that I could catch small fish and shrimps in the river, my eyes lit up!
When girls see small fish and shrimps, they just want to trade them, while boys just want to go into the river and catch them themselves.
When boys were young, they went to the river to catch fish and shrimps, and climbed trees to rob bird nests.
Several male educated youth found baskets, basins, buckets, dustpans and other things in the kitchen and hurried to the river to catch fish.
After the children finished their transaction, they ran back to continue fishing.
Xu Nanxing and the others also had to scrape the scales and remove the internal organs of the fish and shrimp.
Because there was only one kitchen knife in the kitchen, she gave it to Zhang Luyao to use. She took out a fruit knife and slowly scraped the fish scales.
Small fish and shrimp are easy to catch, but there are a few of them.
By the time the two of them had processed the fish and shrimp, the male educated youth had also returned with a full load.
Li Xueyu was the bravest and ran to the deep part of the river to catch fish. He actually caught two relatively large fish.
Several people worked for half a day and caught half a basket of fish and shrimp.
After the old educated youth got off work, they also came to help process the fish and shrimp.
The old educated youth handled the matter much faster than Xu Nanxing and the others.
Xu Nanxing also contributed his fruit knife.
She should get busy making dinner.
There are a lot of fish and shrimp today, and I’d like to share them with everyone.
Chen Xiuying also used up the rapeseed oil that she was reluctant to use.
Lubricate the middle part of the pan with oil, put the fish and shrimp in and fry them, then pour some water and salt, and simmer for a while.
A fish soup is ready.
In the evening, there was laughter and joy in the educated youth's camp. It was rare to have something good to eat. On weekdays, there was mostly radish and cabbage, without any oil or water.
Because the new educated youth took out fish and shrimp and shared them with everyone.
The relationship between the new and old educated youth also became more harmonious.
Xu Nanxing also learned more about the old educated youth.
For example, Chen Jiaxin, the only female educated youth I was not very familiar with, I thought she was a quiet girl, but unexpectedly she was well-informed.
She excitedly said to everyone, "Comrades! In a while, the village will apply for a projectionist to come to our village to show movies!"
"real?"
"Really? When will the projectionist come?"
"Jiaxin, what's this new gossip you heard?"
Chen Jiaxin said smugly, "Of course it's true. Accountant Li's Xiaoyu told me. She and I have a good relationship, so she told me right away. Not many families in the village know about this."
As for the date, the application hasn’t been approved yet! So we don’t know yet! ”
Some new educated youth also asked curiously: "In the village?"
Unexpectedly, as an educated youth, Chen Jiaxin could get along well with the villagers and was so well-informed!
In this era of underdeveloped information, being able to get news first is an amazing skill!
Xu Nanxing wanted to make friends with him.
Others are still discussing showing movies.
"I don't know what movie they'll be showing. Please don't show 'Railway Guerrillas' again. Last year, our village and the one next door showed it, and we saw it so many times."
"No matter what movie is playing, I want to watch it. Movie tickets are hard to get in the city. I have to queue up in the middle of the night to get a ticket."
"Yeah, movie tickets are hard to get in the city. My brother's girlfriend wanted to see the North Korean movie 'The Flower Girl,' which was really popular. My brother queued up in the middle of the night several times before he finally got one. I haven't even seen it, but I heard it's amazing, and almost everyone who sees it cries."
"I saw 'Pet Girl' and halfway through, the whole cinema was filled with people crying. It was quite good."
The educated youth started discussing movies.
Zhang Luyao is very interested in this topic. She has watched many movies, including some overseas movies that are not shown to the public.
So I asked Xu Nanxing: "Xu Zhiqing, what kind of movies do you like to watch?"
Xu Nanxing was surprised to see the educated youth discussing movies, as he felt it was a bit out of place in the context of the times.
She had only occasionally seen movies of this era on CCTV's movie channel. They were black and white movies with unclear picture quality, so she didn't watch them carefully and just changed the channel.
She's watched several influential films released after the reform and opening up policy. These include "Shaolin Temple," starring Jet Li, whose theme songs, "Shaolin Shaolin" and "Shepherd's Song," are both beloved classics. She's also seen "Lush Mountain Romance" and the Japanese film "The Chase."
These are definitely not to be said.
Fortunately, the original owner had seen movies of this era.
Li Yan took her to the cinema to watch the movie, and she also went to watch the movie screenings organized by the factory.
Xu Nanxing discussed the movies he remembered with Zhang Luyao.
The new educated youth also asked about showing movies, "If we show movies in our village, where will we show them?"
"It's at the big drying yard in the village. You have to get there early to get a good seat because people from nearby villages and even the town come to watch the movie. There are so many people that it's hard to squeeze in. Last year, some people even climbed a tree to watch and almost crushed it."
There were few entertainment activities in the countryside, and the educated youth were all discussing the upcoming movie enthusiastically.
In the evening, when Song Liandi saw the house and the new cabinets and washbasin racks bought by Xu Nanxing and others, her face turned ugly.
She angrily said to Xu Nanxing and the others, "Do you think this is your home? There are cabinets and washbasin racks. With so many things here, what are you going to do when new educated youth arrive? If there's no room for them, don't blame others for throwing your things out!"
Wang Xiangjun next to her didn't say anything, obviously agreeing with Song Liandi's persuasion.
Zhang Luyao couldn't stand this and immediately retorted, "Throw one and see! If anyone dares to throw my things, I'll smash them all! We only take up half the space, how come there's no room left? You're talking as if you don't have anything to put there. The wooden boxes you use take up space too!"
Xu Nanxing sneered, "I didn't expect a bandit would emerge from our educated youth camp! He's so tyrannical! What? Are you the boss here? You can throw things at anyone you want! What a bandit!"
