Chapter 156 The village girl who was repaid with kindness (15)
In the evening, Meng Jiu came home from school and found that there was someone else at home.
Zhao Licheng is a familiar person. As soon as he saw her, he shouted: "Xiaojiu is back? I am your third brother."
Meng Jiu: "...Wait a minute, let me check with my grandpa first."
Zhao Licheng: "..."
Niu Shufen told her with a smile: "He didn't lie. He is your third cousin, one year older than you. He will live here from now on, and I don't know when I can go back."
Jin Changhe: "Sooner or later, I can go back. But I think it will take a few years for this situation. Just stay here in a down-to-earth manner. Look back at the commune and the county to see if there are any opportunities to recruit workers. You can find an easy job. Work on it first, don't worry about the salary. When I ask you to go back to the city in the future, you can go back."
Zhao Licheng: "I listen to grandpa."
"You write back and ask your parents to buy and send you two sets of high school textbooks, one for you and Xiaojiu. I was going to go to the high school to register Xiaojiu and let her have a name in the school. I wanted to You can go back to school whenever you want, but she said it doesn’t have to be so troublesome, and she will find a way to teach herself while working as a teacher. But I didn’t watch her learn either.”
As he spoke, he glared at Meng Jiu.
Meng Jiu skillfully leaned towards her grandma, with a provocative look on her face, not taking him seriously at all.
Jin Changhe: "..." This child!
Zhao Lixin: "Okay. I have one set myself, and I asked my dad to find another set and send them over together. I originally had my brother's and my sister's books at home, but they were all burned in the past few years. Grandpa, there is no college entrance examination anymore. Everyone has learned through practice, who is still reading books.”
"What do you know? This is called being prepared. You are always prepared. If the college entrance examination resumes in the future, you can take it at any time and get into a good university. If you are not prepared, even if the college entrance examination resumes, nothing will happen to you. . Learning is important at any time. Do you know?”
"understood."
"I will supervise you two from now on. When you come back every evening, you will read for a while."
Meng Jiu: "No, grandpa, reading in the evening will damage your eyes. Just read at noon. Read when you go home to rest at noon."
Zhao Licheng: "You have to take a break at noon, but you still have to read? Don't read every day! Just take the time to read."
Jin Changhe: "Listen to Xiaojiu and watch it every day at noon."
Zhao Lixin: "..." It seems that we can only pray that the book will come later!
The first meal at home is to eat noodles according to the rule of "go out and bring dumplings back home".
Niu Shufen is very good at rolling noodles. Although she cuts them with a knife, each noodle is the same thickness, just like those made by a machine.
Paired with sautee made from diced meat and various vegetables, it's delicious.
Meng Jiu can eat a big bowl.Grandpa can eat two bowls.
As soon as everyone sat down to eat, they heard He Chaoyang's voice coming from outside: "Zhao Licheng, are you there? I'm He Chaoyang, I'm coming in!"
While Zhao Licheng was slurping his noodles, he took the time to reply: "Here you are, come in, what's going on?"
He Chaoyang entered the room and found everyone eating, which made him feel a little embarrassed.He greeted everyone one by one and then said: "Just now, the old educated youth said that we are new here and we are going to hold a welcome party and have a meal together. I volunteered to call you. I didn't expect you to eat all the food."
Niu Shufen greeted him enthusiastically: "He Zhiqing, come and have a bowl too. I'm not bragging, the noodles I make are particularly delicious."
Zhao Licheng echoed: "It's very delicious. Try it."
Niu Shufen: "Yes, try it."
He Chaoyang came to the table like this.He wanted to refuse, but the noodles were too fragrant.
The two of them put down their chopsticks after eating one bowl.They had to go to the Educated Youth Home for another meal, so they had to leave some space.
When going out, Niu Shufen filled a small bowl with a bowl of meat sauce and handed it to Zhao Licheng: "You guys are eating together, and you can also bring something to add to everyone's dishes."
"Hey. Then I'm leaving."
"Come back early. Do you want grandpa to pick you up?" Jin Changhe asked.
"No, I remember the way."
How old is he, and he still wants an adult to pick him up?
As the two of them walked back to the Educated Youth Home, He Chaoyang was extremely envious and said, "It's so cool for you. You can live at your grandma's house and eat ready-made food. At the Educated Youth Home, I heard they take turns cooking. I can't."
"There are always more solutions than difficulties. Let's see first and then talk."
A total of three batches of educated youth came to the Mancun production team.Counting the 3 newcomers, there are 3 people in total.
Among the old educated youths, headed by the educated youth from the province, Antung Liang, mainly knew that the young people were mature and looked mature and steady, so everyone was used to letting him run the affairs of the educated youth academy.He is one of the first batch of educated youths. He came here in 69 and has been here for 4 years.
When Zhao Licheng and He Chaoyang came in, everyone was already sitting in the courtyard.There is a small table in the middle and a circle of small benches around it.
"Sorry, I asked everyone to wait for me." Zhao Licheng said, put the meat sauce on the small table in the middle, and then said: "This is the meat sauce made by my grandma. I will add another dish for everyone. Don't dislike it."
An Zhiqing greeted: "You're welcome, sit down quickly. This is good food. How long have we not eaten meat? Thank you very much!"
When Zhao Licheng and He Chaoyang sat down, he continued: "Our Educated Youth Institute doesn't have many good things. It's just that everyone gets together and it's lively. We also get to know each other, so that if anything happens in the future, we can have someone to take care of us."
Young men and women from all over the world gathered together, and the atmosphere of chatting was quite good.
On the second day after the new educated youth arrived, they did not have to go to work. They could get familiar with the situation in the village and replenish their daily necessities.
Zhao Licheng first followed Meng Jiu around the school and listened to a class. He saw a group of little carrots, wearing patched clothes and dark faces, sitting in an adobe room, reading aloud with the teacher, and learning. Extremely serious.
Meng Jiu asked him: "Brother, do you want to come and take a class?"
Zhao Licheng was ready to make a move: "Shall I try?"
"Come here." Meng Jiu introduced to the children: "This Comrade Zhao Licheng is an educated youth from Chun City, Jilin Province. He just came to our place yesterday to join the queue. He has a higher education than me. Let him teach us a lesson." Come on. Everyone is welcome."
The children clapped.They have a natural affinity for, and even a little awe of, people who are fair-looking, cleanly dressed, and speak softly and kindly.
After all, when faced with rude people, they can be rude together, even scold and fight, without showing any fear; when faced with gentle and kind people, they always feel a little inferior to themselves for some reason.They will unconsciously change themselves and move closer to each other.
Zhao Licheng has the potential to be a child king, and children like to listen to him very much.
good!When she doesn't like to get up early in the winter, she can ask Zhao Licheng to teach her instead.
After returning home from school at noon, Meng Jiu took him around the village, introducing the existence of this third cousin to the villagers, and also letting the third cousin meet a large number of grandparents, uncles, brothers and sisters, so that he could say hello to each other in the future. .
After all, he was not just a foreign educated youth. If he didn't say hello to the villagers when he met, it would be bad for his reputation.
People who are a little older have an impression of Jin Meiyun. When Jin Changhe carried her on her back and knocked on the door in the middle of the night to buy something, whose dog didn't follow her by barking twice?
Knowing that this was her child, everyone was very enthusiastic.
Meng Jiu told him: "It doesn't matter if you can't remember so many people at the moment. Just chat casually and be vague. You will be able to recognize them all after a while."
"Don't worry, it won't be difficult for your brother."
After returning home and having lunch, Meng Jiu continued to go to school in the afternoon, while Zhao Licheng rested at home.He really didn't lack anything, and his grandparents were very prepared.
He Chaoyang was not short of anything either. He ran to the army to find his uncle, but Uncle He was on a mission and was not there.He had no choice but to come back.
Meng Xinyu packed her things first, then walked around the village in the afternoon to get familiar with the environment, and asked the children in the village where Meng Tiezhu's home was.
