Chapter Four, Faces

"Okay, we're here. Get off the boat and I'll take you to the educated youth spot."

"Uncle Xian, what's the rush? There's a boatload of fertilizer here. You stand aside and smoke while I lift the fertilizer off the boat."

With that said, Nan Yi took his and Liu Zhen's luggage off the boat, took off his outer shirt, revealing a sea soul shirt underneath, spit in the palm of his hand, rubbed his hands, and got on the boat.

I picked up a bag of fertilizer and carried it under the boat.

One bag, two bags, one bag after another.

Xian Yaodong is watching there, Liu Zhen is watching there, Jiang Biyun is watching...

Nan Yi didn't care what Jiang Biyun thought of him, he only cared about what Xian Yaodong thought of him. As long as he was satisfied, his efforts would not be in vain.

With a bang, a boatload of thirty bags of fertilizers were carried off the boat. They took off their sea soul shirts, shook them off twice, wiped their faces with the back of the clothes, then handed the clothes to Liu Zhen, took the shirt and put it on.

"Good boy, you are covered with muscles. I believe you. You must be a good hand at work." Xian Yaodong came over, patted Nan Yi on the shoulder, put a cigarette into his mouth, and helped him

Light the fire.

"We don't want to brag. If I say I am a good hand, I must be a good hand. Uncle Xian, on the way here, I saw that the fields are harvesting rice. The early rice should be ripe. Our team is also harvesting it, right?"

"We won't get much rain this season here, and there isn't much land. There's no need to rush to harvest, just do it slowly."

"Oh, are you planting three crops or two crops now?"

"It's just two crops. The yield of winter rice is low and it's not cost-effective. In winter, we can plant some vegetables, sweet potatoes and potatoes."

Liu Zhen: "Captain Xian, what is potato?"

"I'm ignorant. Even I call you Uncle Xian. Why do you still call me Captain Xian? You call me Uncle Xian instead." Nan Yi pretended to be angry.

"Hahaha, you kid!" Xian Yaodong pointed at Nan Yi and said to Liu Zhen: "From now on, follow Nan Yi and call me Uncle Xian. Potatoes are potatoes. You may call them potatoes or potatoes."

"Oh, it turns out to be potatoes."

"Okay, I'll take you to the educated youth center."

Xian Yaodong walked in front, introducing Nan Yi to the situation of the educated youth in the past.

"Your commander is called Zhao Hongzhuang, a son of a cadre. In addition to her, there are Lin Guangwei and Ou Jing who are from Yangcheng. Ke Hongxing, whose original name is Ke Liya, is a descendant of a 'rich man' in Shanghai. When his family was in trouble,

, resolutely fought back and killed his parents...

Lai Jihua, whose character is the same as his surname, is relatively rogue, and he is also sneaky and sneaky in his work;

There is another person you should pay special attention to, his name is Li Hai, he is also from your capital city, I won’t talk about him, you will know about it later."

"Oh, okay, Uncle Xian, if you don't tell me, I won't pry around."

"Here we are, everyone is working in the fields now. You put your things down first. Nanyi, let me tell you, your rations have not been distributed by the commune yet. I will send you some rice in a while.

Educated youths all work together to cook. When they come back, you can get to know them by yourself. There is still something to do in the brigade, so I will leave first."

"Hey, Uncle Xian, I'll give it to you."

Nan Yi diligently sent Xian Yaodong out of the courtyard of the ancestral hall, and then came back to take a closer look.

The Xian family's ancestral hall is very large, with two entrances and two exits. The courtyard outside should have been built later. I don't know whether it was to house educated youths or to cover up the ancestral hall.

Nan Yi walked around to make sure there was no one in the ancestral hall, and then walked to the yard, "I've been on the train for two days, and I'm all rotten. It's not cold today. You guys can scrub in the yard, and I'll go outside the yard."

I'll give you a lookout. If you move a little faster, I don't know if someone will come back."

"Yeah, I got it, brother."

"What did you call me?"

"Brother, what's wrong? You are the first person to be so kind to me. In my heart, you are closer to me than my own brother."

"Okay, you can call me brother." Nan Yi frowned and said, "Hurry up and wash up."

"Why."

Nan Yi walked out of the hospital, closed the door behind him, walked a few steps to the river, sat down on the wet bluestone, click, click...

Three cigarettes kung fu...

Hua Lao would shake his head when he saw it, and Lu Xun would slap him with a sponge.

"Brother, we've finished washing."

"Oh, it's pretty quick. You didn't wash your bald skin, did you?"

Nan Yi stood up, tugged on his trouser legs, and pulled off the trousers that were stuck to his body.

"No way, isn't it only an hour? Brother, it's really nice here. There's no shortage of water, and the water is soft, not as hard as in the capital."

"Don't be too busy saying yes, you have to work tomorrow. Uncle Xian also said just now that the best we educated youths can do is only eight work points.

I know how to work. Eight work points is too much for me. I will go find Uncle Xian in a moment and I will go to the brigade to work. You can go there too and see if there is a shortage of people to cut pig grass. You go

Cutting pigweed is an easy job."

"How many work points are there for cutting pigweed?"

"Look at how many pigs there are here. It can range from two or three to six or seven at most."

"Two or three, I can't even make enough from rations. How much does one work point cost in Wenchangwei?"

"I estimate that this place is worth at least more than ten cents. I forgot to ask just now. I only know that our monthly ration is 24 kilograms and we receive a five-yuan subsidy. I won't talk about this for now. Let me tell you,

I plan to settle here, what do you think?"

"You want to settle down and don't need a Beijing household registration?"

"What's the point of registering in the capital? Our household registration has been settled in Shajiaotou. It is just a collective household for educated youth. I plan to directly establish it as a farmer household. In this way, the rations and subsidies for the educated youth will be gone, but the things distributed by the brigade every year will not be as good as ours."

share."

"What's the difference?"

"The difference is that our registered permanent residence is together, and we are a family. I can legitimately find you an easy job, and the work points will be less. At the worst, I will help you pay for the work points at the end of the year."

"Our household registrations are together?" Liu Zhen's cheeks turned crimson again.

"Didn't you call me brother? What's wrong with us being together?"

"I...I listen to my brother."

"Okay, I'll talk to Uncle Xian later. The staff in the educated youth camp is complicated, so it's better not to have too much contact with them. You go back to the courtyard first, and I'll go down to the river to wash up. I smell a lot."

"Um."

Nan Yi took off his coat, and with a bang, he plunged into the river, and his hand touched the river mud in 0.3 seconds.

By adding the trigonometric function to the acceleration of gravity, the gravity of the earth, the density and flow speed of the river water, and the wind speed, it is estimated that the river water is 3475.2 mm deep.

Well, in fact, Nanyi saw a river warning line drawn on the bluestone by the river - 3.2 meters.

After rubbing it twice and rubbing his back on the bluestone to fool him that it was clean, Nan Yi went ashore and returned to the ancestral hall to change his clothes.

They took out the rice rolls they had just bought at the commune and gave a portion to Jiang Biyun. With a neither salty nor bland expression of gratitude, the three of them finished off the rice rolls.

Seeing that it was only a quarter past two o'clock, it was still early for the end of work. Nan Yi threw "How Steel Was Tempered" to Liu Zhen, took out a work notebook himself, and turned over the courtyard wall.

Jiang Biyun walked into the room where the girl lived and slammed the door. She didn't know what she was going to do inside.

Nan Yi shook his head, "A little girl is a little girl!"

He climbed down the wall, walked to his travel bag, took out the remaining Huazi and two bottles of Maotai, pulled out a sheepskin bag, put the wine and cigarettes in and sealed them, ran outside the courtyard, and walked around.

When he saw that no one was around, he buried the sheepskin bag in the soil and carefully covered it up.

………………

When the sun stood at attention and became tired and sluggish, the singing voice not far away floated closer and closer.

""Song of the Educated Youth"!"

Nan Yi curled his lips, took out a lighter, lit his work notes, and watched them burn into ashes. He swept away the ashes with a broom, walked to the water tank, picked up a bucket, and walked out of the courtyard gate.

As soon as I walked out of the courtyard, I met a team of educated youth returning.

The first one was wearing a green military uniform, his hair was neither long nor short, and he had the popular "progressive student hair", and his face looked very mean.

"This person should be difficult to deal with!"

Nan Yi was thinking in his mind and quickly put on a smile on his face, "Hello everyone, I am an educated youth who has just arrived. You will recognize me as Director Zhao at first sight. I will be under your leadership from now on. Just give me your orders if I have anything to do."

"No, please don't give me any orders, as long as you don't cause any trouble for me. Captain Xian should have told you my name, but I'll say it again solemnly.

My name is Zhao Hongzhuang, and I am the head of this educated youth camp. Since you are here to jump in line, please be calm and don't give us educated youth camps, and don't cause any trouble for yourself."

"No, no, I've been timid since I was a child. It's all because of others who bullied me. I never cause trouble."

As he spoke, Nan Yi took out the Guangxi he bought at noon and spread cigarettes one by one to the male educated youth.

As they walked away, they said kind words, "Brothers, please take more care of me in the future. I'm new here. If you do anything wrong, feel free to criticize me."

After a brief exchange of greetings, Nan Yi picked up the bucket and walked to the brigade's well.

Don't ask how Nan Yi knows where the well is. As long as he has stayed in a southern village, he can easily find where the well is even if he goes to a new village.
