Quick Time: The Cannon Fodder chooses to Farm

411-420

Chapter 411 Chaos in the 1970s (42)

  The verdicts of Zhao Youcheng and Chen Binghui came down, one for ten years of labor reform, the other for five years, both on farms in extremely cold northern regions.

  Zhao Youcheng's daughter-in-law was blinded by crying, but few people sympathized with her.

  Why don't you cry when you eat the meat, sugar, and malted milk that the educated youth bought from the pit, and the steel pot, hot water pot, towel, and soap bought with the industrial ticket from the pit?
  Zhao Xuefang's marriage was blown.

  The male side avoided it for fear that it would be too late. On the day Zhao Youcheng was taken away, he sent a matchmaker to come over and cancel the marriage.

  They can't afford such in-laws.

  The Zhao family has been afraid to go out recently, for fear of being thrown rotten eggs.

  Fortunately, Xia received it, and the villagers were busy harvesting the crops, at most they complained a few things about the Zhao family during their breaks.

  In addition, Xu Laosan showed off the cigarettes, alcohol, and new clothes bought by his hairy-footed son-in-law all day long, and it was too late for everyone to pick up lemons, so there was no time to take care of the Zhao family's affairs.

  During the busy farming period, Xu Yin earned double work points as usual.

  Xu Chengjin was worried about her heatstroke, so he ignored the troubles and went to the fields to bring her herbal tea with a cane, once in the morning and once in the afternoon.

  Xu Yin told him not to come, but he insisted on coming. While she was drinking tea and taking a break, he fanned her with a straw hat and washed her face with a wet handkerchief soaked in well water.

  The girl who was talking about the partner, seeing this scene, pinched the arm of the partner complainingly while being envious:
  "Look at her! The leg injury is not healed, and she has to go to the ground to bring water and tea to Xu Yin with a cane, and even fan her." The wind wipes your sweat, what about you? What about you? What did you do? Are you still waiting for me to bring you water to wipe your sweat?"

  Her object was extremely wronged: "I don't work in the field too? The water I brought I've finished drinking, and I don't have any water."

  "Then you can't go back and get it! You haven't broken your leg!" "

  ..."

  Xu Yin almost laughed out loud, and turned to look at the man beside her, "You've made yourself an enemy."

  The juniors in the brigade probably wanted to beat him up when they saw him.

  Xu Chengjin raised her eyebrows: "I'm good to my future daughter-in-law, what's in the way of them? They can't do it themselves, so they lower their requirements and ask others not to do it? What's the point of that!" Xu Yin enjoyed his caring fan service

  , He narrowed his eyes comfortably.

  It feels so good to feel the cool breeze without doing it yourself!
  "By the way, did you bring water to your parents? If not, I'll go now." "

  Yes."

  How can the father-in-law and mother-in-law be left behind? Must send! And it was delivered first.

  No, Xu Laosan took advantage of the rest time to start chattering again:
  "Old Bing Chen, where are your two sons-in-laws? Why didn't I bring you a pot of herbal tea? It's a hot day, and it's comforting to drink some herbal tea!" "

  Hong Niang , where is your son-in-law? From last year to now, you have been praising Hongni for marrying well. But how come I haven't seen your son-in-law come to see you? Could it be that he hasn't come after marriage? Oh hello! According to me, this girl married Whether the son-in-law is good or not does not depend on the wealth of the son-in-law, but on how well he treats his father-in-law and mother-in-law. My Xiaoxu, is it okay now?" "Dazhu,

  you joked that I have no son, look, I have no son. Drink herbal tea, the father of your three sons can't even drink a bowl of tea. If you want to drink it on a hot day, you have to go home to scoop it up. Tsk tsk tsk!" "..." Teeth are

  itching

  , hands are itching, and my heart is roar! My heart is roaring!

  It's another day when I want to set Xu Laosan's sack! ! !
  After Zhao Youcheng and Chen Binghui were dismissed from their respective positions, the production team leader of the first team was replaced, and the teachers of the senior primary classes in the brigade had to be re-elected.

  In fact, everyone still hoped that Xu Chengjin would continue to serve, but Xu Chengjin refused.

  "Thanks to everyone who appreciates it, but my foot injury has not healed. Even if I go back, I need someone to take over the shift. It is better to re-elect a teacher. In our team, not only Teacher Wang and I, but also several teachers who have gone to junior high school Comrade, everyone can vote for a good teacher who is serious and responsible for the children."

  Of course, other educated youths and members of the brigade who have gone to junior high school hope to be re-elected, so that they have a chance.

  Compared with farming, how easy it is to teach children, not to mention that the work points are still calculated on the basis of 10 points. With good pay and easy work, fools don't want to be teachers.

  Xu Chengjin declined, and others fought for it. After discussion, the brigade cadres reported to the commune and re-elected a teacher.

  In the end, it was none other than Mr. Wang who got the most votes and was elected.

  When Wang Zhibo came to Xu's house to tell Xu Chengjin the good news, the corners of his mouth reached his ears.

  "Old Xu, I'm so happy!"

  Xu Chengjin: "I can tell."

  His face was frozen with a smile.

  "Old Xu, don't be so perfunctory! Aren't you happy for me?" After a pause, Wang Zhibo scratched his head in a daze, "Oh, it's normal for you to be unhappy, after all, my partner took your job." Xu Chengjin

  : "......"not at all!

  On the contrary, someone took over, and he was too happy to be happy. From now on, he can concentrate on writing manuscripts and earning money to support his family.

  Seeing her going out early and returning late to earn work points every day, he felt that he could not live another day and just be lazy. Before, he thought of writing some manuscripts and improving his life by the way. Now he decided to take part-time jobs as his main business and plan well.

  The editor-in-chief wrote to him and told him that translation activities had started to resume recently, and there was an urgent need for translators. Therefore, besides writing articles, he took on several translation jobs.

  Xu Yin saw that he seemed to be very busy recently. He was immersed in writing manuscripts every day, and the ink was used up very quickly.

  At the end of the summer harvest, when I went to the city to collect the manuscript fee for him, and bought things for my parents and younger sister, I helped him bring back two bottles of pens and ink.

  "Thank you." Xu Chengjin received her hand and looked at her with a smile, "Did you buy anything for yourself?"

  "I don't have anything missing."

  Xu Yin said, looking down at the simple desk made of two square stools, A stack of foreign manuscripts was spread out, knowing that he had recently accepted a translation job. At first, he thought it was Russian, but when he saw a few familiar letter combinations, he blurted out: "Hey, are you

  translating Croatian? Or a literary work?" Are you allowed to translate such foreign works now?"

  Xu Chengjin raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you know Croatian?"

  Didn't it mean that the combination of mathematics and Chinese after elementary school has just passed the passing mark?
  Xu Lan complained to him about her second sister's poor academic performance. She scored about 30 points on two simple papers.

  I have learned so much in my mother tongue, but I know Croatian?

  This time he translated some Yugoslav literature, written in Croatian, deeply imprinted by the two world wars. It is impossible to recognize without special study.

  He was taught by his grandfather hand in hand, and it took him two years to master it. Even so, the translation is still somewhat difficult.

  Only then did Xu Yin react belatedly: "..."

  Damn! It's revealed! ! !
