Chapter 21 Sad May Day

May 1st.

International Labor Day.

The most depressing day since Li Zhongxin's rebirth.

In 1982, there is a day off on Labor Day.

Because it is a labor festival, not only does the home cleaning, but the school also organizes the removal of four pests (flies, mosquitoes, rats, and cockroaches). Even Li Zhongxin, the third-grade primary school student, did not let go.

Originally, Li Zhongxin planned to go to the Sanjiang Bathhouse, the largest in Jiangcheng, to take a shower, cut his hair, have a beautiful underground meal, and then buy some delicious food to take home.

But he never expected that on holidays like May Day, the school would organize students to eliminate the four pests.

If you want to say that sparrows were the four evils in the 1950s and 1960s, you can even roast a sparrow to eat when catching sparrows. However, in the 1980s, sparrows were eliminated from the four evils.

Flies and mosquitoes are all over the place, and they are all over the place. They can’t be beaten. On weekdays, cockroaches are only available near the stove, and there is no place to fight, so they can only dig mouse holes.

Class 1, the third year where Li Zhongxin is located, is responsible for the grove opposite the school. They are in groups of two or three, holding wooden sticks, shovels and pickaxes in their hands to search for mouse holes.

Digging a mouse hole to catch mice is also a science, and most people don’t understand it very well. When his class teacher Zhang Zhiqin was young, he dug a mouse hole with people in the rural land and passed on his experience of digging a mouse hole to Li Zhongxin and others.

After Zhang Zhiqin gathered them together before the action, he told them that to kill rats, they should first find a rat hole, or find a mouse mountain - a place with very loose soil. After finding such characteristics, they should invite the students in the class to surround them, form a large circle, and use an iron pick to dig the rat hole open. When the rest of the people saw the rats coming out, they would use a shovel to shoot.

After killing the mouse, you have to bring gloves and cut off the mouse's tail. In this way, you will have completed a task.

There were many people and great power. With the help of the classmates, more than twenty mice were killed before noon.

However, just as he surrounded a large rat hole, Li Zhongxin was in a tragedy.

Seven or eight rats suddenly appeared in the large rat nest. The male students were chasing them with shovels and seemed to be in a hurry. Two rats rushed into the second female defense line.

When Li Zhongxin went over to chase and beat him, the stick in Wang Jinli's hand was frustrated and fell directly on Li Zhongxin's head. Li Zhongxin felt that he almost died gloriously.

Although he did not sacrifice gloriously, he became a laughing stock for his classmates. After a big fuck, he was given two nicknames by his classmates.

The first nickname was his male classmate Wu Zhigangqi, and he was called Mouse Xin.

They said that they came here to eliminate the four evils and eliminated Li Zhongxin's head. What is Li Zhongxin's not a mouse?

The other one is the most "disgusting" girl in the class. Li Zhongxin is called a unicorn because a big bag is bulging on Li Zhongxin's head.

The most "disgusting" girl is called Jia Zhen, and it is unanimously recognized by her classmates. She has a very serious rhinitis. No matter who she is at the same desk, she always makes a desk with big snot paper. Liu Shili, who is known as the worst in the 26th elementary school, gave her the nickname "big snot Zhen", saying that she is the most "disgusting" girl.

However, later generations Li Zhongxin met Jia Zhen when his elementary school classmate reunion in his forties. At that time, Jia Zhen had moved to the provincial capital Harbin City.

Not only did she do clothing wholesale business, but her appearance also changed dramatically. If it weren't for the class reunion, if it weren't for her vaguely she looked like she was a little bit of when she was a child, Li Zhongxin would never believe that the fashionable beauty would be Big Nose Zhen.

Li Zhongxin was speechless. He really never remembered such a thing. It was probably related to the selective forgetting of later generations, or the slight butterfly effect occurred after his rebirth.

The minor injury did not fall off the line of fire, which was told to the soldiers. When he arrived at Li Zhongxin, he was injured on his head. He found an excuse to rest and naturally sat next to the commander Zhang Zhiqin.

Thinking about how good Zhang Zhiqin has been to him since her rebirth, Li Zhongxin thought about it and would give him some fish to Teacher Zhang’s house in the past few days.

Li Zhongxin sat beside Teacher Zhang and watched boredly. Suddenly, he found an uncle who was selling popsicles on the road.

At this time, the popsicle seller was very different from the sorbet carts in later generations. They used foam boxes to pack popsicle, which could minimize the speed of popsicle melting.

Although the weather was not very hot during May Day, after working all morning, Li Zhongxin felt a little hot. He remembered that he had not eaten the old popsicles in his memory after returning to 1982. He stood up and walked to the side of the road, raised his hand to the popsicles seller, and waved his hand to the popsicles seller, signaling the popsicles seller to come to him.

"Do you have a cream popsicle from a milk company?" After Li Zhongxin saw the popsicle seller coming, he asked directly.

Li Zhongxin was very impressed by where the best popsicles were at this time. The ice cream and popsicles produced by the milk company are the best in Jiangcheng. It not only has the sweet milky smell, but also is particularly sweet.

"There is no popsicle from the milk company, and it's too far away to go. I only have ice cream from the Hydrological Popsicle Factory. This kind of popsicle is not worse than the popsicle from the milk company, and it's also five cents per piece." The popsicle seller was helpless when Li Zhongxin wanted to pick popsicle from the milk company.

Most people know that the popsicles at the milk company are delicious, but the road there is far and it is very difficult to walk on. If he goes there, it will take at least an hour. If it rains, he will not be able to return to the city center for an hour and a half.

"The ice cream from the Hydrological Popsicle Factory is also considered a counterfeit. I have bought all the popsicle you have here." Li Zhongxin was a little disappointed with the popsicle without a milk company, but the ice cream from the Hydrological Popsicle Factory is also one of the best state-owned popsicle factory in Jiangcheng.

"Do you have money? You bought them all, little guy, it's wrong to do this." The uncle who sold popsicles was stunned for a moment, then looked at Li Zhongxin with a bad look, and scolded Li Zhongxin in his heart.

When he saw Li Zhongxin waved his hand, he thought Li Zhongxin was buying popsicles, but he didn't expect that this broken child was actually looking for him to be happy.

At this time, it is possible to buy one or two popsicles by a child. If you buy them all at once, it is impossible.

After rubbing the big bag on his head, Li Zhongxin glanced at the uncle selling popsicles and said unhappily: "If you don't sell it, forget it. Do you still have money? What popsicles should I buy if I don't have money? Remove the box and count how many popsicles are inside. I'll pack them all up."

After Li Zhongxin finished speaking to the uncle who sold popsicles, his little hand raised high and shouted loudly to the classmates who were catching mice over there: "Students, everyone have a rest. I'll treat you to popsicles."

While shouting, Li Zhongxin took out a great unity in his stiff eyes and handed it over.

When Datuanjie handed over, the uncle who sold popsicles was still petrified.

After a little while, he slowly took the money from Li Zhongxin and stammered: "Little, kid, wait until the uncle will wipe the fraction of it for you."

The uncle who originally sold popsicles wanted to talk to the little guy, but when the words came to his mouth, they changed it to a child, and they promised to wipe the fractions.

This little guy wrapped all the popsicles in his box all at once, and he had made a profit today.

During May Day, the temperature in Jiangcheng was not high, and it took him an hour to sell two popsicles. According to this situation, at night, it would be great if you don’t lose money without losing money.

In 1982, when popsicles were shipped, they were plastic rectangular boxes, with more than 60 pieces in each box. When wholesale, they were calculated based on 60 pieces. For people, they could get up to 66 to 69 pieces in one box. For people without people, there were only 60 pieces in one box.

At that time, there was a layer of popsicles with some pink and white popsicles on it to prevent the popsicles from being frozen together.

The factory price of a box of popsicles is two yuan for a large box, which is about three cents per piece. If you sell a large box, you can earn nearly two yuan.

The uncle who sold popsicles thought about it. Because his sister worked in a hydrological popsicle factory, he had 69 pieces of foam box. After deciding the two pieces sold, there were still 67 pieces left, which cost five cents each, which was three octane and five cents. Erased five cents! It seemed that there was a little less.

He had a big talk before and wanted to wipe the fraction of the child in front of him and the fraction of the five cents. He was really a little indescribable.

"How many popsicles are there in your box? It's enough fifty!" Seeing the uncle selling popsicles remove the foam box, he suddenly thought that he had called his classmates, but don't have enough popsicles at that time, and some classmates can't get them.

"There are 67 popsicles in total." After the uncle who sold popsicles finished speaking, he looked for money and added a sentence with a red face: "These popsicles are 3 yuan, 5 cents in total. Today, the uncle will give you five cents, so it is considered that the uncle will treat you to a popsicle. I have two milk bricks given by his child (the one with more milk is better ice cream, which is placed in a cardboard box) and I will give it to you for a bonus."

After the uncle who sold popsicles said that, there was a bit of pain on his face. The two milk bricks were new products and could not buy them for a penny or a dollar, but he was even more reluctant to give Li Zhongxin the zero.

Milk bricks?! A hint of joy appeared on Li Zhongxin's face, and he said happily: "Uncle, thank you for your hair, you should charge four dollars! When you go back, you will buy two milk bricks for your son."

Li Zhongxin directly took a little yellow cow and a red one-yuan banknote, and took the milk brick to present treasure to Teacher Zhang.

If the hands are fast, there will be no hands. Some of the students in Class 1, three years, ate two popsicles and some ate one. The scene was very lively. After a while, all the mice believed it and all the unicorn monsters were selected to be forgotten by them.

In the afternoon, Li Zhongxin wanted to follow the rat to kill, and the students in the class told Li Zhongxin to rest.

At this time, Jiangcheng City asked everyone to kill three rats, which means they had to hand over three rat tails. Many people spent money to buy and pay for the supply and marketing cooperatives in the countryside. The price of a rat tail even reached two cents.

Some students in the school were given rat tails, and some were given ten dead flies in match boxes. In short, the school was the first to eliminate the four evils.

At this time, the four pests will be eliminated, and the rat tails you harvest will be sold for one cent to two cents, and the money after the sale will be used as the class fee.

At the end of the day, under the guidance of Teacher Zhang's wise and divine martial arts, the students from Class One in three years received a total of forty-two rat tails. The students were all very happy, but Li Zhongxin was depressed.

The head was beaten with a big bag that was visible to the naked eye, and he gained two unpleasant nicknames. Teacher Zhang also criticized and fought hard for an afternoon. He spent money to invite classmates to eat popsicles and was considered to be spending money randomly. He even planned to tell his mother Wang Yaqing about spending money randomly.

Sad May Day.
