The educated youth was reborn and wanted to disappear, but he was locked into a military marriage.

When the educated youths who had just finished work saw these things, they immediately went crazy.

These days, pork is scarce, not only expensive, but also expensive. Although it cannot be said that it is completely unavailable, most of it is just a little bit meaty. Five pounds of pork are placed here, and the boss’s piece is still covered with a layer of fat. Just looking at it makes me laugh. People drool.

Zhang Qiaomei and Miao Shiwen had already rolled up their sleeves and started packing. Xie Chengzhi and others were busy carrying firewood to light a fire. Xing Qingsheng asked with a loud smile: "Lu Mingzheng, where did you get so many meat tickets?"

Lu Mingzheng smiled: "I exchanged it in the county."

Nowadays, not only are the villages poor, but the cities are also poor. Many people have meat stamps, but they still can't afford meat, so they save their meat stamps and exchange them for money.

"You really don't feel bad." Zhang Qiaomei stuck out her tongue.

Lu Mingzheng shook his head: "Just this time."

After eating this meal, he was leaving.

Thinking in his mind, his eyes unconsciously searched the yard, but he didn't see Zhu Xiaomin's figure. He opened his mouth to ask, but finally held back.

Zhu Xiaomin hid, not because she didn't want to work or to get together with everyone, but because she was afraid of Lu Mingzheng's probing eyes.

At this time, she was working for the accountant and scorekeeper at the brigade headquarters, calculating the work performance of the members so far and the grain production.

The accountant's name is Huang Xiaojuan. She is a woman in her thirties. She has studied before, graduated from elementary school, and knows how to calculate an abacus. She is considered an educated person in the village, so she won the position of accountant.

With Zhu Xiaomin's help, things were done quickly. Seeing that she was still lingering and not wanting to leave, Huang Xiaojuan misunderstood and said with a smile: "Why do you really want to break up with Nie Zhiqing? It's better to say it clearly if you have anything to say, so It’s not a problem to hide.”

Yes, it’s good to speak clearly!

Zhu Xiaomin held her cheeks in her hands, let out a long sigh, and shook her head in distress: "Some words are unclear."

Nie Yifei is nothing, but what should he say to Lu Mingzheng?

Huang Xiaojuan pushed her: "Go back quickly. I've been listening to them talking about it all day, saying you guys are going to have a dinner together."

Zhu Xiaomin nodded, looked at the darkening sky outside, and knew that he couldn't escape, so he had to sigh again, took a basket placed in the corner and walked out.

Huang Xiaojuan asked: "Did you prepare food?"

"Yes!" Zhu Xiaomin nodded and opened the flower cloth covering the basket to show her, "I exchanged some eggs with the sisters-in-law in the village today."

Huang Xiaojuan looked over and saw that there were more than 20 eggs. She smiled and said, "How do you divide them among more than 30 educated youths?"

Zhu Xiaomin had no choice but to say: "We only have so much, so we have to steam egg custard or make soup."

At this time, although the villagers were allowed to raise chickens, they were rationed per capita and there were not many eggs a day.

The eggs laid by one's own chickens can be eaten and exchanged for things, but they are not allowed to be bought or sold. However, the educated youth have no output of their own. Food is divided by earning work points, and other things have to be sent from home.

Zhu Xiaomin actually bought these eggs with money, but it could only be said that they were exchanged, and everyone knew it tacitly.

Huang Xiaojuan thought about it, went to the warehouse next door to get some freshly picked tomatoes, and said with a smile: "Take this back first, I will record it later, just use other ones."

The egg soup turns into tomato and egg soup, which is much better.

"Great!" Zhu Xiaomin happily took it and put it carefully into the basket. Then she waved to Huang Xiaojuan and went back to the educated youth point.

To reach the educated youth point, the brigade has to go down a slope first, pass through a small forest, and then go up another slope. It usually takes about twenty minutes to walk.

But now it was getting dark, and Zhu Xiaomin was carrying the eggs and didn't dare to walk fast. This journey took more than half an hour.

Before entering the courtyard, I heard people talking and laughing inside, mixed with Yang Aijun's wild singing.

A smile appeared on Zhu Xiaomin's lips, she walked around the courtyard wall and entered the gate without a gate.

At this time, several rice bowls had been set up on the long table in the yard, and several cold side dishes had been put out. Miao Shiwen and Zhang Qiaomei were cooking, a few male educated youths were peeling peanuts, and a few others had already put them on the table. Everyone’s teapots are set out.

The idle ones soon saw Zhu Xiaomin, immediately greeted her, and asked with a smile: "Xiaomin, why did you come back? What did you get?"

Zhu Xiaomin came over and said apologetically: "I only got some eggs in exchange, and I borrowed a few tomatoes from the team on credit. It's not enough for each of us. I'll make steamed eggs and make egg soup later."

When everyone heard this, they were indescribably happy. Xing Qingsheng smiled and said, "Hey, there are meat and eggs today, just like the Chinese New Year."

Although the educated youths all came from the city, eggs were not always available, so some happily took them and put them away.

Zhu Xiaomin stretched his head to look at the peanuts he was peeling, and asked with a smile: "Why peel so many? Are they fried?"

"Ming Zheng bought wine and pork. He just made a big bowl of lard and fried it for dinner." Gao Chengchao was a little excited.

It’s both wine and meat, it’s really a big deal.

Zhu Xiaomin's eyes searched for Lu Mingzheng. As soon as she took a look, she met his eyes. She was stunned for a moment, smiled at him, and quickly looked away.

Nie Yifei was sitting outside the crowd. When he saw Zhu Xiaomin talking and laughing with everyone, his face looked a little ugly. He snorted heavily, but no one paid him any attention.

Feeling her avoidance, Lu Mingzheng's eyes deepened a little deeper. He took the vegetables he had picked to others to wash. He stood up and came over slowly. He looked at her and said, "It's not safe to walk on mountain roads in the dark. You should eat first." Hello."

"Oh, I forgot to call you." Zhu Xiaomin replied casually. After saying the words, she felt a little unnatural and quickly pursed her lips.

Others didn't feel anything. When Miao Shiwen brought a pot of fried vegetables, some reached out to take it, some moved it, and some asked when it would start.

Miao Shiwen smiled: "The egg custard has just been put into the pot and the peanuts have been fried, so we can make the egg custard and everyone can eat it now."

When the male educated youth heard this, they immediately shouted excitedly, and some of them were already running to hug the wine jar that Lu Mingzheng had brought back.

A jar of wine only weighed about five kilograms, and there were more than thirty tea jars separated. In fact, it was not much. Everyone drank in the same atmosphere. Even the three female educated youths poured some symbolically each.

As Lu Mingzheng is the protagonist, everyone naturally respects him first, and the topic also revolves around his return to the city.

After half a cup of wine, Lu Mingzheng's words became more difficult when he heard everyone's questions one by one. He replied: "It's a research unit. They need a few translators. Someone just mentioned me. Give me the indicator and send me back."

"Are you a translator?" Everyone looked envious.

Lu Mingzheng shook his head: "It's not a specialized translation position. You start from the grassroots level when you get in. You will only be responsible for part of the translation work for the time being."

"It's great to be literate!" Xie Chengzhi sighed.
