11. Back Quotes

In fact, when Aunt Jiang muttered, Yao Yuan was thinking about his own thoughts and basically didn't hear anything she said.

I have a job, I have thirty kilograms of grain per month and a salary of 18 yuan, but it is still not enough to eat.

According to Yao Daxia's appetite, it takes at least 40 kilograms of grain per month to barely enough to eat. Aunt Jiang's family is not rich, so it will be a problem in the future.

Yao Yuan heard from Uncle Yao about grain. At that time, Aunt Jiang took Yao Dasha to leave from home early in the morning and go to the deep mountains to buy high-priced grain, so she could not come back in the middle of the night.

There are pine trees in the deep mountains, and some farmers secretly planted private land in it and sold them to employees who came from outside the mountains to buy grain.

At that time, many employees in the factory had many children at home and did not have enough food, so they secretly went to the mountains to buy high-priced grain.

However, at that time, individuals were not allowed to own land in rural areas, and they would be confiscated if they were caught. Moreover, selling grain privately was called speculative and was illegal, and being caught would have to go to jail.

Aunt Jiang took Yao Dasha to buy grain, but most of the time she couldn't buy it. Once she finally bought it, she encountered a militia patrol on the way back, and the grain was confiscated. It would be a blessing to let the person go.

So, most of the time, Aunt Jiang has no food in her hands and everyone can't eat enough. No wonder Yao Yuan saw Yao Yuan, who was thin and tall, and a little hunched, was hungry at that time.

At this time, Yao Tower was still very strong and strong, and there was no sign of long-term starvation.

Yao Daxia's father is the factory director and a division-level cadre. Before he was arrested, his family must have no shortage of food. During the two years he was arrested, Yao Daxia's mother was still there, and probably still had some savings. He didn't start to starve until his mother was no longer there.

And at this moment, Yao Yuan came back.

According to Aunt Jiang’s way of buying high-priced food in the past, it is probably unrealistic to eat enough and not go hungry. Yao Yuan had to find another way.

But in this glorious era of poverty and glory, the whole country is a game of chess, so what can I think about?

When he returned to where he lived, Yao Yuan stood in the yard and was stunned for a long time.

The yard is very empty, unlike Aunt Jiang's side, which has a chicken coop and a coal shed. Moreover, this is the yard of two houses, which is twice as big as Aunt Jiang's side.

If both kitchens are removed, the open space will be larger.

Yao Yuan used his steps to roughly calculate the area of ​​the open space, which should be about one part of the area.

If you plant a little bit of land well, you can harvest dozens of kilograms of wheat and more than 100 kilograms of corn a year, which adds up to nearly 200 kilograms of grain.

If 200 kilograms of grain are removed, the deduction will be equivalent to fifteen kilograms of grain every month. With his 30 kilograms of grain, he can get forty-five kilograms of grain in a month, which is almost enough!

Moreover, the wheat you grow can also be made into white flour. The two girls Kang Kang and Meimei also have white flour to eat, which is a good deal!

However, this is the staff dormitory. Can the factory agree to the kitchen and grow grain? Will anyone intervene?

Then he thought, "I'm going to starve to death, why do you care about so much?" Moreover, Aunt Jiang is right. He is a fool, and killing someone will be worth his life. If I grow food, anyone who dares to take care of me, I will beat him!

Thinking of this, he made up his mind. He was tired after running with Aunt Jiang for a day. He went home and lay down on the kang, picked out the poem from under the kang mat, exercised for a while, and fell asleep unknowingly.

The next morning, at six o'clock, the loudspeaker at the village head started playing the radio gymnastics music command.

Yao Yuan hurriedly got up from the kang and went to the outer room to wash. Just after washing up, Aunt Jiang was already shouting from there through the wall: "Dasha, come here to have a meal!"

After breakfast, Aunt Jiang urged him to go to work before seven o'clock.

It takes only a dozen minutes to get from here to the office courtyard of the second village, and at most it is 7:00.

Yao Yuan didn't want to go so early, but he didn't want to listen to Aunt Jiang. Aunt Jiang almost treated Yao Daxia as his own son, and prepared new clothes for him last night to wear them for him to wear them at work on the first day.

The so-called new clothes are a white jacket, a pair of hidden blue pants, and a pair of new cloth shoes with plastic bottoms. But in that era, this was the best dress. After Aunt Jiang came back from reporting to him, she took him to a store on the side of the road south of the village, and it cost several dollars.

Even as the daughter's resistance and beauty, Aunt Jiang rarely wants to buy new clothes. She bought cloth and started doing it herself.

Aunt Jiang doesn’t have a sewing machine at home, so she uses it from Yao Daxia.

Moreover, most of the time, it was just for Jiang Kangkang. Jiang Meimei was wearing clothes that her sister wore.

Jiang Kangkang's military uniform was left behind when her father was in the army.

When Yao Yuan arrived at the office compound, no one came to work in the cleaning team, and the door of the house was locked. He had to find a place at the door and sit and wait.

It was not until after working hours that everyone came over one after another. If someone recognized him, he would say hello to him. If someone was not good at it, he would even laugh at him.

Except for knowing the chief and deputy captain I met yesterday, Yao Yuan didn't know the others. He smiled at the people who said hello to him and didn't say anything. He just laughed at him with a stern face as if he didn't hear him.

On the first day of his arrival, he was unwilling to make trouble without touching the situation.

It was not until eight o'clock in the morning that fifteen people gathered together, and found a place to sit in the house and started studying politics.

The first item to study was the newspapers of deputy captain Li Lenian that day, mainly editorials and news.

Li Le's silly mouth has not finished reading for more than half an hour. He wished he could read everything in the newspaper and add some of his own comments.

This is called a scoundrel in later generations. If you give some power, you won’t know what your surname is. If you don’t use it to the fullest, it won’t be the end. If the captain Zhang Qingzhong hadn’t been able to listen to him and stopped him, I guess everyone wouldn’t have to do anything else this morning, and they would have to listen to his muttering.

Yao Yuan sat in the corner and had been tired of listening. He had Li Le, a slut at work, and he had to listen to Aunt Jiang's words when he got home. He really couldn't live this life!

Li Le had to shut up when Zhang Qingzhong spoke. Then, every team member spoke and expressed his loyalty.

The first person to speak was naturally Zhang Qingzhong.

"We need to fight against private criticism and revisions!" Zhang Qingzhong's first sentence was a quote, and then he began to talk about the main topic. "Some of our comrades are very unconscious. The broom I just sent was used for only three days, and it turned into a hairless old broom when I took it back. You think I am a fool, I don't know that you are taking the old ones in your house to pay the bill? This is selfishness. We must be very selfish! This time, I won't say who it is. If you automatically exchange the new broom for me tomorrow, I will just pretend that nothing happened. Don't force me to hold a criticism and fight against you. You will be unable to bear it at that time."

After Zhang Qingzhong finished speaking, it was Li Le's turn again.

Li Le was so proud that he sat on a chair and shook his head and said, "The great leader taught us..."

This said, "I'll say that the whole world is full of 40 minutes, and I almost vomited Yao Yuan."

Li Le finally finished speaking, and it was the supervisor Zhao Shunzhang's turn to say a quote first, then talk about his learning thoughts and express his determination.

Then, every team member has to say quotations and express his determination. Those who make mistakes and send them here will have to add a reflection speech. If you say less, it means that your attitude is not sincere enough. If you say too much, you don’t like to listen to it.

Finally, it was Yao Yuan's turn.

Zhang Qingzhong then introduced him to everyone. They were all in the same factory. Everyone had never seen Yao Daxia and had heard of him. He was the child of the old factory director and a fool.

Zhang Qingzhong introduced Yao Daxia, but did not intend to let him speak. Yao Yuan refused and everyone else spoke, why didn't he speak?

Li Le said: "You are a fool, what do you know? Are you still speaking?"

Yao Yuan said seriously: "I can recite...quotations."

Li Le smiled and said, "You can carry one? I'll listen to it?"

Yao Yuan did not smile and said solemnly: "For, for... the people, serve, serve...."

With a "boom", everyone in the room laughed.

Yao Yuan didn't care whether everyone laughed or not, and he continued to look serious and memorized: "Thousands... Thousands, thousands, thousands, no... no, don't, forget, level, level... class, fight... struggle."

Everyone laughed again.

Yao Yuan still didn't smile, and said with a pious look on his face: "No... east... east wind, press... overwhelming, overwhelming... west wind, just... west... west wind, west wind... press... overwhelming, overwhelming, east wind."

There was another burst of laughter.

Everyone was very happy to recite it in one sentence or another. If he recited it too much, everyone would have a headache.

But Yao Yuan remembered many quotations and had no intention of finishing it.

Finally, Li Le couldn't listen anymore and said, "Okay, okay, I won't talk about it anymore, let's talk about it tomorrow."

Yao Yuan refused and said, "I, there are, there are so many, I didn't say it, I'm going to finish it!"

Li Le scolded him and said, "What do you say? Don't say it!"

Yao Yuan cried with a "wow" sound, and the crying sounded like thunder, which scared everyone in the room.

While crying, he shouted, "You bully me, don't let me recite it, quotes! I... I, look for Deputy Zhang, sue you, go!"

Zhang Qingzhong waved his hand at Li Le and said, "Let him carry it, why do you do the same knowledge as him?"

When Li Le heard Yao Yuan mention Representative Zhang, he felt a little "splied". This fool could join the cleaning team, but Representative Zhang meant. Representative Zhang was said to be the old subordinate of the fool's father.

Li Le is a person who has made political mistakes, otherwise he would not have come here. It was Zhang Qingzhong who saw him being smart and literate, so he asked him to be the deputy captain.

In that era, people who made mistakes were particularly sensitive and were always afraid of making mistakes again. If they made mistakes again, they would be more serious if they did not correct them after repeated instruction.

Stop others from memorizing quotations, at this time, that is a great sin!

Thinking of this, Li Le didn't dare to speak anymore.

Everyone listened to Yao Yuan’s memorization quotes, but they felt goose bumps all over their bodies and could no longer laugh.

Yao Yuan's quotes were never finished. In fact, he couldn't remember many quotes. After a long time, he couldn't help but repeat them again. He paused word by word, but later his pronunciation became more and more vague. Everyone felt uncomfortable listening to them. I wish he could finish them quickly. Who cares about what he was saying?

It was about to get off work at noon, Yao Yuan looked at the electric clock hanging in the house. The time was almost the same, so he stopped and said, "I'll finish memorizing it. Tomorrow, I'll keep it... I'll keep it."

When he was carrying it on his back, Zhang Qingzhong and Li Le were muttering there. Seeing that he finally stopped talking and spared them, Zhang Qingzhong said, "It's so stupid. From tomorrow on, you won't have to go to work in the morning. Just wait at home. When Shao Ling goes over, come to your house and call you."
