The three of Luo Xuan here are devouring their food, filling their stomachs after three times, five times, and two times.

Meanwhile, Yu Guijun on the side was still trading alcohol for meat.

I saw him take a sip of wine, pick up three chopsticks of greasy twice-cooked pork, chew and bite it three times, and then it fell into his stomach.

Only a mouth full of oil was left.

"The cow chewing the peonies is too disgraceful to the scenery."

Ji Xuyuan sighed, "I just asked you to trade wine for meat, but I just hope that you four guys can have a few drinks each to open up the conversation, so that you can have a few more words with this lonely old man like me, everyone.

It's just a lively meal.

Now you are trading your life for wine, which has completely deviated from my original intention. It's a pity, it's a pity."

Yu Guijun was obviously a little drunk. His face was red, and his forehead was oily and stained with sweat, shining brightly under the dim lights of the service center.

Like twinkling stars in the night sky.

"Old man, you must keep your word."

While chewing the fatty pork belly, Yu Guijun said vaguely: "You said 1 glass of wine for one or two meals, 10 glasses of wine and a plate of food. I have already drank 12 glasses, right?"

"11 cups."

Ji Xuyuan opened his mouth to correct him.

"Gulu——"

Yu Guijun raised his neck and drank a glass of wine.

Then he wiped his drooling nose with the back of his hand, and wiped his lips with his sleeve, "Is it 12 cups now?"

"well..."

Ji Xuyuan sighed, "Comrade waiter!"

As soon as he shouted out, he suddenly realized that even if he yelled to the sky, the waiter would not pay attention to him.

So Ji Xuyuan pressed his hands on the Eight Immortals table and was about to get up and go to the counter to talk to the waiter.

Just at this time,

Fatty Gu, who had been taking a nap in the office, happened to come out and passed by Luo Xuan and the others.

Fatty Gu first saw Luo Xuan and was stunned for a moment, then heard Ji Xuyuan's call.

Fatty Gu walked to the table and asked in a low voice: "So it's Senior Ji? I don't know what your orders are... Oh, no, what do you have to do in your old life?"

It seems that Fatty Gu not only knows Ji Xuyuan, but he also knows Ji Xuyuan's background very well.

It's just that Fatty Gu, who was astute and responsive, called Ji Xuyuan an 'old-timer'.

This kind of title is very common in Bashu Province. It is a very neutral title and is purely based on age and seniority.

If it had been before liberation, perhaps Fatty Gu would have respectfully addressed Ji Xuyuan as "Ji Da's shopkeeper", or "you are old".

But now, he doesn't dare to scream like that.

But calling Ji Xuyuan "old generation" is closer than calling him comrade, and it's not so formulaic.

"Hey, it turns out to be Xiaopang?"

Ji Xuyuan stood up and reached out to pinch Fatty Gu's chubby face.

When he stretched his hand halfway, he suddenly retracted it and said, "You came just in time. Well, this little brother and I lost the bet, so you can put a bowl of twice-cooked pork in his account for him."

Said,

Ji Xuyuan took out a yellow 5-dollar bill from his pocket and handed it to Fatty Gu.

"This is just a portion of twice-cooked pork. I'll just put it on the table for you."

Fatty Gu laughed in a low voice, "When I was a child, I often ate the candies you gave me, my elders."

Ji Xuyuan shook his head, "What are you talking about? I lost the bet, how can I let others take it? Here, take it. Remember, this little brother saved a bowl of meat."

After settling the matter of Yu Guijun eating meat.

Ji Xuyuan held the small wine glass in one hand and the small wine bottle in the other, and walked out with his hands behind his back.

Fatty Gu asked: "Where is the remaining money?"

Ji Xuyuan didn't answer him, but pointed to the closet where the wine was stored in the service club.

The wine cabinet contains glass bottles of wine such as "Mung Bean Daqu", "Wuliangye", "Quanxing Daqu", and "Luzhou Laojiao".

What Ji Xuyuan means: The remaining money will be used to buy wine, and then the wine will be stored on the counter.

The first batch of famous wines rated in 1952 include Maotai, Fenjiu, Luzhou Daqu, and Xifeng Liquor.

Wuliangye of this period was not among the first batch of famous wines, and it was not expensive. You could buy a bottle for 2 yuan and 30 cents.

Ji Xuyuan slowly walked away.

Yu Guijun, who was drunk and hazy, looked at the wine flask and wine glass behind Ji Xuyuan, and his eyes widened, "Taking things belonging to the public? Well, don't worry, I won't tell anyone."

There was a "pop" sound!

Fatty Gu slapped Yu Guijun on the back of the head, "What are you talking about? As the head of a service agency, don't I keep an eye on public property?"

You know how to use a hammer! Ball doesn’t understand either, so you use pig urine as a bucket... That’s the drinking utensil that people bring with them.”

After scolding Yu Guijun.

Fatty Gu turned his head and looked at Luo Xuan, then reached out and touched his left eyebrow.

This was the secret code that Luo Xuan and Fatty had agreed upon: if he touched his right eyebrow, he would give him mushrooms the next day.

If Fatty Gu touched his left eyebrow, he was telling Luo Xuan: Wait two days before talking.

Everyone had finished eating, and Yu Guijun was so drunk that his legs became limp and it became difficult to walk.

In the end, it was Peng Yong and Wang Bing who helped him up, one on the left and the other on the right, and walked crookedly towards the school.

When the two of them returned to the dormitory, sweating profusely, Yu Guijun's drunkenness became more and more serious!

I saw him break free from the arms of Peng Yong and Wang Bing, and suddenly he lay on his back on the bed and howled, "I feel bitter in my heart, I am not convinced!"

"I want to study until I graduate from junior high school! My dad is biased. He dotes on that loser and wants the second child to take over... Why? Why? He is just a junior high school student, but he can also work in a public institution and eat national food?"

Yu Guijun howled and complained loudly, "How can he decide my future if he is so old and shameless?

I want to be admitted to the county high school and go to the regional technical secondary school to study. I want to become the person with the highest diploma in the village. I also want to become a public cadre with four pockets! Woohoo, I want to be an official..."

The boys' dormitory where Yu Guijun is located is bustling with excitement.

Tonight, the girls' dormitory next door was also busy.

Just because there were two girls who left home to board at school for the first time.

It was fine during the day, but when night fell, the two girls missed home so much that they began to sit on the bed and sob and cry.

this era.

The rural children who grew up in the production team are top leaders in work, and most of them are very hard-working.

But their mental development obviously has not kept up with their practical abilities.

Many children seem helpless and confused as soon as they leave home.

As soon as the tired birds return to the forest, I begin to think of the steaming hot corn mush in the pot at home, the boiled sweet potato vines without oil and salt, and the chicken and duck droppings all over the house.

The children in these production teams will appear extremely timid and cowardly once they are separated from their familiar environment.

In Hongxing Township Senior Primary School, there is only an earthen wall separating the male and female student dormitories.

The men's and women's toilets are also interconnected, separated only by a mud fence.

Everyone was taking a shower on the same huge strip of cesspit, and the sound of gurgling water and plopping falling could be heard.

The smell of urine is unpleasant and smelly.

So, the sounds of crying and sobbing in the girls' dormitory next door, the comforting sounds of classmates, the scolding of the dormitory aunt...

Even in the male dormitory, I could hear it clearly and clearly.

Luo Xuan sighed in his heart: Living here, living with a bunch of half-grown men and young girls who have not yet matured their minds, day and night, is really torturous.

But if you want to completely change your destiny and get rid of your identity as a farmer, just working in the production team is obviously not enough.

During this period, it is extremely difficult for people to move around and change their identities.

According to Luo Xuan's current plan: get a diploma and then have one more choice.

No matter whether you want to recruit workers in the city or join the army in the future, this diploma is an indispensable stepping stone.

Therefore, no matter whether it is useful or not, the biggest purpose of coming to school is to get those diplomas in the end.

Suppressing the impatience in their hearts, Luo Xuan, Peng Yong, and Wang Bing said hello, opened the dormitory door and walked out.

In the student dormitories, the walls are very low.

Pulling the weed roots on the earthen wall, Luo Xuan used strength from his waist and climbed out of the low wall to the outside of the school.
