Baiguo Village at the foot of Baiguo Mountain.
The Baiguo villagers grow fruits.
The land and water support the people, and they rely on the mountains to eat and the water to eat. The villagers of Baiguo Village grew up eating chestnuts. For generations, their ancestors relied on the chestnut trees on the mountains to survive the war. Although they are not rich, at least they are There will be no famine.
There is also a pear grove and a persimmon grove on the mountain. They are all seedlings that were planted when we were in the new country city. After more than ten years of growth, they have already begun to bear fruit. They belong to their brigade in the commune. Don't be too happy.
Farming has become a part-time job, and food is more important. However, the demand for fruits in the city is still very lacking. Sitting on this treasure, every household does not have to worry about work points, and can exchange for supplies every year. Food for a whole family.
Those fruits with poor quality have become daily snacks for children. It can be said that they eat better than some city residents.
Lv Erpao is also a villager in Baiguo Village. He is a strong man who can kill an ox with one fist. As the four or five children in the family have reached the age group, each of them has begun to Going to school, the pressure has suddenly increased recently.
The food problem is not a big problem. If you pick up some chestnuts that have fallen on the ground during inspections, peel them open and copy them, you can still satisfy your hunger, mainly for tuition fees.
All the work has been done recently, and it is cold. Most of the villagers are hiding in their houses. Only he opened the curtain, put his hands in his hands, and wandered into the village.
“Have you eaten, Uncle Er?”
Looking at the brigade secretary, accountant, and captains all gathered together in the ancestral hall, Donkey Er was embarrassed and didn’t recognize him at all. Due to his identity, he squeezed to the side of the secretary and greeted him respectfully.
"What's the matter, Erpao? There's a meeting over here, discussing what to do after the spring. If you have nothing else, please wait outside."
Brigade The secretary worked for a long time to become the "second uncle" in Lu Erpao's mouth. However, the situation might be a little wrong now, so he didn't give his nephew any face. After closing the book, he raised his chin towards the door.
“I’m wondering, staying at home is not going to work, my body and bones are rusty, and several children have to go to school, which costs several yuan a year, I want to go to Houshan Ask the prospecting team over there if they need any manpower and give them some help."
Lv Erpao said cautiously. Although he was a man as tall as an iron tower, his eyes were still filled with fear of this second uncle. , after all, he had said before not to go to the back mountains and provoke those prospecting teams.
"You can pull me down. What do you know? Do you know how to identify mines or dig wells? People will only look for Liu Laoer and the others. They have dug wells before. They You don’t even think about it, you just show your ability, right?”
The first captain sneered, and was quite dissatisfied with Lu Erpao for interrupting their meeting. He wanted to end it early and go home early to spend time with his wife and children. It's not as comfortable as in the ancestral hall. The younger generations always feel uncomfortable here.
"Donkey Xiaoli, don’t tell me this, my child’s tuition fee, can you, the captain, help me pay for it? No, I’m just going to ask, in case I need someone, can’t this also help some other people, everyone is pulling each other’s back. , isn’t life better? Being idle at home is idle anyway.”
“Even if they don’t need people, they still need to eat some fruit. Someone has to wash the clothes and pants of the old men, whatever. What kind of work, I can collect a few dollars in the spring."
Lv Erpao is afraid of his elders, but facing those who are the same seniority as himself, he will not give any face at all, but, otherwise It is said that the people of Zhejiang are smart and flexible. They are prospecting and eating from the public, so they use some help within their power to complete the initial accumulation of capital.
Everyone was silent at this time, and the first team leader wanted to choke. As a result, the deputy captain next to him tugged on his sleeve and signaled to other teams, but they were also thinking about it.
Before, because of the secretary, he warned everyone not to go there, except for going to chestnuts. Inspector Lin, everyone was obedient and did not cross the line. Now someone has come up with an idea. Indeed, if they can earn a few more dollars, it is not impossible.
Who knows what the secretary will do after listening to Lu Er. After Pao's speech, he slapped the table hard, pointed directly at his nephew's nose, and shouted angrily: "Erpao, you have become more capable, haven't you? Your second uncle's words have turned a deaf ear. , I said not to affect other people’s work. This is the spirit of the instructions issued by the superiors. What’s the matter, you don’t listen to me, and you don’t listen to the commune’s words either. I think you’ve had enough of a good life.”
The secretary's spitting output made Lu Erpao very aggrieved. He just wanted to live a good life. It was not illegal to exchange his labor for a little extra money, so why was Lu Erpao so angry?
With a figure as big as an iron tower, one could see that he was at a loss at this moment. He pursed his lips tightly and walked out without saying a word.
"Go on, get the fertilizer needed for the beginning of spring. "Clear, and"
Looking at the heavily closed door of the ancestral hall, Lu Erpao looked aggrieved. In fact, the looks that everyone looked at him were not all ridicule, most of them felt pity. He could see it. Come out.
In this case,
he decided to go to the prospecting team himself. If they want him, don't come back. It's just a waste of time.
p>From the moment he went out, he had actually made a decision. He just asked for a job. Could they still go to the village to complain? But according to the village's practice, they still have to complain to the highest elder.
Back home, my wife looked at the rice bowl, took out the ripe persimmons, and a few ugly-looking pears, and finally grabbed a small one. Steamed chestnuts in a pocket, he complained again.
"What do you women know? In our place, this thing is worthless. In the eyes of outsiders, it is a rare thing and it is difficult to get a ticket." "
Put the bag on your shoulders, with chestnuts in the back and pears in the front.There are also flaming soft persimmons, and Donkey Erpao is on his way.
As a frequent mountain patroller, he knew where to hide from people looking for the woods. With the idea of changing his family's life, he suppressed his excitement and ran towards his destination in the back mountains to the north.
"It's not the Chinese New Year yet, so why not set off firecrackers, but those few sounds are still quite loud."
I picked my ears, stood on tiptoes in the woods, and laughed. He couldn't see anything in the distance. Anyway, he never imagined that the far side had become a battlefield.
"Stop, what are you doing?"
The security personnel finally discovered this somewhat naive man, picking up the bayonet and holding the muzzle of the gun, all at once.
"You are from the prospecting team, right? I am a villager from Baiguo Village up front. I brought you some food from our forest. Look at the pears, persimmons, and chestnuts. I think , see if you need me anywhere, I am very strong, I can do all the chores and heavy work."
Facing the gun, Lu Erpao is not weak at all, and he is not a bad person. , squatting on the ground, poured out the bag at once, and various round fruits rolled out. The people in the security company saw this scene and were a little bit dumbfounded.
"Oh, by the way, this is my family's household registration book. I also brought it"
Afraid that they would not want him, Lu Erpao even took the household registration book in his pocket directly He hurriedly took it out and handed it to the guard with an eager look on his face.
"Shh, shh"
The piercing whistles spread all around. The guard took the household registration book and looked at the restrained Donkey Erpao with a critical eye. This kid is absolutely He is a talented person, not to mention, the fiery red persimmons made him a little greedy.
"A villager has come, looking for a job."
When the guard company commander followed the whistle and found this place, Donkey Erpao's scalp was numb when he looked at it cautiously. I don’t know why so many people have guns, but they don’t need so many to protect themselves from predators.
"What is the name of your village party secretary?"
"Donkey Rongqing, that is my second uncle"
"Where is the women's director"
< p>"Ni Xuhong, that's me"Lv Erpao was just about to explain his relationship with the village. Who knows, the guard company commander who read the household registration book took it in his hand At least the doubts on his face were gone. The name and information were checked, and there was no problem.
Who brings persimmons, pears, chestnuts and other specialties when they go out to fight? From the current point of view, this guy has no big problem.
"Captain, these things"
The guards looked at the things on the ground and licked the corners of their mouths. Their lives were hard enough, and the allowances were really useless. It's obvious.
"Take it, don't leave yet. If that thing falls, there will be places in your village that need you."
How can the guard company commander not understand what his subordinates mean? The army does not take a single drop of money from the masses, but when they go out, they spend money to supplement their daily needs.What he needed was not impossible, so he counted two dollars from his pocket and slapped it on the palm of Donkey Erdan's eyes, which was shining brightly. He was really excited at this moment.
The two dollars came so quickly. He would do whatever they asked him to do. If there was still some use in the village, wouldn’t it be possible for him to straighten his back and go back?
< p>"No, Captain"Seeing his company commander sorting out the fruits on the ground, stuffing them into his bag, turning around to leave, the guard who had just spotted Donkey Erpao's eyes immediately flashed. got up.
"What are you looking at? I didn't buy it for you guys. Those technicians need to supplement these nutrients. I think you guys lack training."
The company commander said fiercely He glared at the little guy, took out a pear from it, rubbed it roughly on his body, and stuffed it into his mouth. Although it was a bit sour, it was still juicy. How could he do such a job as testing poisons? Hands down.
"Boom, rumble"
"My mother, it's thundering in broad daylight"
Donkey Erpao, who was following the company commander, was immediately struck by this I was startled by the movement. I almost trembled as I counted the money back and forth with my hands. In the end, I squeezed it tightly and covered my ears.
"Did you use dynamite to prospect for mines? My wife's cousin's family heard that the dynamite blew up the mountain and then looked for ore."
Covering The donkey's ears were puzzled, and he didn't notice the strange color on the company commander's face, and was still talking to himself.
"Let's go, hurry up, whether you can find a job depends on this sound, whether you can beat "them" down"
The company commander looked excited and chewed the He stuffed a mouthful of pears into his bag, waved his hand, and even started running in front. The guard behind him pushed him, and Donkey Erpao also started running.
I didn’t understand what the person in front said about beating him off, but I knew that the sound might be related to the next work. Those two legs wanted to swing out to the maximum angle. Keep up with the captain in front.
"Boom, boom"
A deafening sound erupted from the back mountain again. At this time, Lu Erpao was not afraid anymore, because several people ran faster, and several people ran faster. A chestnut fell to the ground, and the captain didn't even stop to pick it up.
After seeing the tents one after another, Lu Erpao felt a little timid. Why, the people in this prospecting team were all wearing military uniforms.
That’s right, it’s a military uniform. Donkey Erpao used to be envious of this outfit. Although the color is different from the yellow-green ones, the coats are all blue, but the hat on the forehead can be seen with a five-pointed star. of.
"Look at people first"
Pointing to the tent of his security company, the company commander then ran towards the woods without stopping, without even looking at Donkey Er. Take a dip.
The team members have become accustomed to the fact that the machine is really going to be knocked down. It is unrealistic to expect people like them to find various parts that have fallen all over the mountains and plains. At that time, the villagers will still be needed to help.
It can only be said that the time when Lu Erpao came here was coincidental, and he collided with those gunshots.
If it weren’t for the ID that I carry with me, the fruits that are abundant in Baiguo Village, and the problem of verifying my identity just now, I would be enjoying the treatment of handcuffs.
"It's okay, it's okay. I'll stay, I'll wait. Let me tell you, every house in the village still has some stocks. Those persimmons are so sweet, and those pears are in the warehouse of our brigade. Yes, the ones that can be divided should be big, and the same goes for chestnuts. If you eat these, I can get dozens of kilograms later."
Donkey Erpao, who is so greedy for money, can't see through these people now. He came from prospecting or not, but he actually gave him the money. The money was real and he didn't owe him credit. It could be said that he was more genuine than the one from the commune. With this, he could boost the income of the whole village.
"Just stay still, we will know the result in a few minutes, but didn't I tell you not to come to our place?"
The guard gave Donkey Er I poured a glass of water, handed it to him politely, and then walked out of the tent door. Although the company commander didn't say it clearly, he was indeed controlling others, so he had to be kinder. After all, the territory did belong to his village.
The company commander put the bag at the door and ran away. The guard who came out looked at the pear that rolled out of the bag. The company commander took a bite of the pear and licked his lips. , his eyes were a little hopeful.
"If you don't mind, you can eat what the company commander has bitten. I'll tell you, the top fell off when I ran away just now."
Another person on guard seemed to be watching. Out of the desire in his heart, everyone in the village talked about this. Anyway, there are still more in the future. As long as you spend money, it is not a big problem to buy a few to satisfy your greed.
"You're right, you didn't see anything. Let me taste it first to see if it's sweet or not."
Sneaky, he touched the pear with the long tooth marks. , after one bite, a small part of it was bitten off. The soldiers of the guard company did not dislike it, and stuffed the pear into their stomachs in three bites.
