Chapter 4 (1/2)

After two meals, Zheng Jianguo couldn't see the slightest trace from the faces of Zheng Fugui and Du Xiaomei. Only when he had more dinner at 4:00 p.m., his father took two dens and put them in front of him: ”eat more in the evening, so as to fight hunger -”

In the era of shortage of materials, members only eat two meals a day, at 9:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. in other times, they get up at 4:00 a.m. and start with hot water and soup. They work until 9:00 a.m. and then eat until 4:30 p.m. and then work until 7:00 p.m, Put the team to sleep.

According to the standard in Zheng Jianguo's memory, the conditions of the Zheng family can be classified as poor households. Although all six people in the family except him have been able to earn work points, they can't stand that the four sisters and mother Du Xiaomei are women. The daily work points should be distinguished according to the number of workers and labor force. Men have a bottom score of ten, women have six points and children have two points.

Five women can't get the work points of four men. As a barefoot doctor, they don't have money to pay for the visit. The scorer records them according to the work points. They only receive one or three points when they use the medicine. In addition, Zheng Fugui always takes the money and records it if they don't give it. Sometimes he even pays out of his own pocket to make up for the money to buy the medicine. The family of six has a tight childhood.

That is, Guanxi commune belongs to the red flag commune of Shanxian County. Each brigade has a lot of sidelines. For sanlibao brigade, there are farms, processing plants and even a machine repair plant. There are hundreds or dozens of pigs in the farm alone. If you dig out the task of one pig per household every year, you can save more than a dozen pigs for a fat year.

Not to mention the brigade in the backward areas, even in Shanxian County, it can be regarded as the middle and upper level. Naturally, such a brigade hung a number in the heart of secretary Qu of the commune, so after hearing that Guo binghe was going to give educated youth and members a holiday, he went there in person.

When the people are scattered, the team can't take it.

Zheng Jianguo was awakened by Zheng Fugui. There was no alarm clock in the dark. He rubbed his eyelids and was stunned. Then he saw his father in the night: ”what time is it?”

”Doodle doodle -”

When the harsh wake-up call came, Zheng Jianguo's confusion disappeared completely. He quickly understood that the snow had stopped outside. According to the instructions of secretary Qu during the day, the members should gather at the brigade department to prepare for work, and then contact the information. Now it should be less than two o'clock: ”are you going to work?”

”Well, we're going to work.”

As a barefoot doctor, Zheng Fugui is naturally one of countless members. He can go to the clinic in his spare time and has to go to work in his busy time. However, this is not the reason why he woke Zheng Jianguo: ”I thought, since you said you were going to stop studying, you might as well go to work with us from now on?”

”This is -- experienced in advance?”

Facing Zheng Fugui's face hidden in the night, Zheng Jianguo flashed such an idea in his mind. It seemed that his father and mother planned to use this to be a bully, let him go to school honestly after eating some hardship, blinked immediately and said, ”go to Yanghe Reservoir?”

”Well, Yanghe Reservoir is the one twenty miles away. After we gather at the brigade headquarters, we still need to go to eat according to the urgent March, and then work.”

As if to express the hardships of going to work, Zheng Fugui explained the way to go, and especially stressed that you can't eat now. You have to wait until the ground to have dinner, and work hard while it's hot: ”are you going?”

”OK, I'll go!”

When Zheng Jianguo finished, he turned over and got out of the quilt, picked up his clothes and began to put them on his body. Zheng Fugui, standing next to him in the dark, couldn't help being silly. Obviously, he didn't understand that his son, who was afraid of cold these days, didn't even say it. At this moment, he directly began to put on clothes and prepare to go to work. But when he had finished his previous words, he thought of it and said, ”or --”

”Let him go! If you dare say you're tired, hit him. ”

The voice of Du Xiaomei's hatred came. Zheng Fugui swallowed the words behind him, turned around and hung his head. As soon as he lifted the curtain, he saw a pair of dark big eyes looking at him, his chin raised behind him, and then his eyes stared again. It seemed that Zheng Fugui, who had received the code, turned his head and looked. He saw that Zheng Jianguo had finished wearing clothes and was putting cotton shoes on his feet, He could not help but turn around and shook his head again, with a depressed look on his face: ”get ready to go! If you don't go again, you should call the roll - ”

”Then watch him.”

Du Xiaomei gasped twice, watched Zheng Fugui finish, and stuffed the burden next to her into his hand: ”I've prepared more dens for you two, and you let him eat more.”

”This smelly boy! No good or bad! ”

Muttering and scolding, Zheng Fugui carried the burden on his shoulder. Before turning his head, he saw Zheng Jianguo coming out from behind the curtain: ”Dad, let's go?”
