Rebirth at the starting point of happiness

Su Qiuyue’s job today is to pick the cabbages from the field.

Not only do they have to be broken off, but they also have to be stacked on the edge of the ground, and someone will be responsible for transporting them away.

Su Qiuyue's job today is to pick cabbages from this large field. She can only wait for the scorer to calculate how much she can pick at the end of the work day.

Sun Yanqiu, who was with her, said that she was not in good health and did not do her job very well, so the two of them were currently equal in strength, and neither of them split the weight, and just broke a cage together.

Su Qiuyue thought her complexion was quite normal and she didn't look like she was in poor health. However, it was none of her business and she didn't intend to say anything.

First break the cabbage, then move it to the edge of the field and stack it.

The two of them can still chat.

Su Qiuyue also learned the specific situation of the Youth League Institute from her.

There are more than twenty educated youths in the Youth House now.

There were fourteen male educated youth and eight female educated youth.

The Youth League Courtyard was a particularly large courtyard, with a long row of houses divided into six rooms.

There were three rooms for each male and female educated youth, the female ones in the east and the male ones in the west.

There are kitchens on both sides, and even the firewood pile is divided into three parts.

There is a large vegetable patch in their backyard, which they have gradually opened up in recent years. They can grow some vegetables for themselves.

Although they are all educated youth, there are all kinds of people here, especially those who have been educated in recent years.

The educated youth in the first few years were really passionate about settling down in the countryside and working hard for a more prosperous future for their motherland.

Many of the educated youth in the past two years were radical elements who were involved in movements all day long, or were people of bad status who were implicated by their families.

Therefore, the atmosphere at the educated youth site became increasingly bad, and everyone was clearly divided.

Sun Yanqiu felt that it was wise for Su Qiuyue and her sister not to live in the educated youth camp. At least they could live comfortably and had less trouble.

If they have the conditions, they would also like to live alone.

"Sister Hongying is someone who can get along with her. She is a very strict person and sometimes she is very serious, but she doesn't have bad intentions.

Team leader Chen Shanlin went to the countryside voluntarily. He has always been a good leader and the educated youth all listened to him.

But if he gets angry, it can be quite scary, as he will really ask the Youth League Office to deal with those problematic youth.

I'll tell you when you come into contact with other people. If you live outside by yourself, you won't come into contact with so many people.

You are still young, and the most important thing is to live your life well with your sister."

Sun Yanqiu looked at Su Qiuyue and said a few more words. She really felt that this little girl had a hard time, and she was not lazy at all while working. The two of them could talk to each other, so she said these things.

"Thank you Sister Yanqiu, I know." Su Qiuyue was very willing to accept her kindness.

Although the two of them did not slack off all day, due to their physical limitations, they only earned three work points when they finished work in the afternoon.

"I'm sorry, Sister Yanqiu, I saw you were still four centimeters yesterday." Su Qiuyue took a look when she was registering just now, and then she realized that her arrival today caused Sun Yanqiu to lose work points.

"It's okay. I'm just happy that I'm finally in the same group with someone today, so I'm just here to talk to you.

It's good to take a day off from time to time. We just need to work harder tomorrow.

You are young, so don't work too hard. It's not worth it to tire yourself out. You still have a younger sister to take care of." Sun Yanqiu comforted her.

"Well, Sister Yanqiu, I'm going to go back and eat first. After dinner, I'll go to the Youth Institute."

Only then did Su Qiuyue realize that Sun Yanqiu was also a smart person, but she really didn't do much today, and the scorer looked unhappy when he saw them.

Teenagers can earn one or two work points by cutting grass for pigs or doing odd jobs.

After having dinner with her sister in the evening, Su Qiuyue asked her to close the door and went to the Youth League Home.

On the way, Su Qiuyue passed by a house and heard a dog barking. Su Qiuyue thought that she and her sister should get a dog.

Like today, I still feel worried about my sister being left alone at home, so I can feel more at ease if I have a big dog.

Especially at night when both of them are so tired that they fall asleep, sometimes they can't hear any sound. If there is a dog, it will always make a sound to remind her if something happens.

Now when she goes to bed at night, she puts the scissors and machete under the mattress where she can reach them.

Arriving at the Youth Courtyard, Su Qiuyue saw that there was no one in the yard. She stood at the door and shouted:

"Is Sister Yanqiu here?"

"coming!"

As soon as she finished shouting, Sun Yanqiu's voice was heard from a room on the right side of the yard, and soon someone came out of the middle room.

Seeing that it was Su Qiuyue, he quickly invited her into the house.

The Youth League House was originally a large courtyard where male and female educated youth lived together. In the middle of the courtyard, a fence made of thin branches was built and deeply rooted in the ground, dividing the courtyard into two halves.

I entered the room with Sun Yanqiu and there was another educated youth inside.

"This is Li Qingxing. She lives in the same room with me." Sun Yanqiu introduced the two people and then pulled Su Qiuyue to sit on the kang.

"Chen Zhiqing will call us over to their place in a little while, and then we will all be able to see each other.

I heard that there are more male educated youths in this batch, so there will definitely not be enough room for them over there, so we have to give them a room here, and the female educated youths will have to squeeze in. "Sun Yanqiu said helplessly, although they can fit in by squeezing in, it is not as comfortable as it is now. How comfortable it is for only two of them to sleep on a kang that can sleep six people.

Today they are not just going to get to know Su Qiuyue, they also have to discuss the room allocation.

She and Li Qingxing have similar personalities and get along quite well. If one of them were to be given up, it would be uneasy for a while with so many people crowded together.

Working every day is tiring enough, and having to deal with these things is really annoying. When the new educated youth arrived, it happened to be the autumn harvest, which is depressing just to think about.

But these have nothing to do with Su Qiuyue, as she does not live in the Youth League Home.

The three of them chatted in the room for a while before they heard someone calling them to go out in the yard.

Everyone carried their own small stools and went to the male educated youth's side.

There was a tree in the yard of both the male and female educated youth. The one on the male side was bigger, and there was a very rough stone platform under the tree.

Sun Yanqiu said that they used to run a stone mill, but after the educated youth came, they moved to the brigade's drying yard.

Su Qiuyue's story was no secret in the Youth League Home. After everyone got to know each other, they started talking about the room assignment.

"The notice said that five educated youths would be assigned here, four of whom are male, so one room should be left for the female educated youths."

As soon as Chen Shanlin finished speaking, the female educated youth sighed. There was nothing they could do as the living conditions were very tight, and they had to do it even if they were unwilling.

"Since we have already separated the courtyards, it is not convenient to move the fence now. I want to just open a door in the house and then seal the door for the female educated youth. Does anyone have any objections?" Chen Shanlin expressed his idea.

Although the Youth League compound was divided in the middle, the houses were next to each other, so Chen Shanlin's proposal was the simplest. Otherwise, the female youths would have fewer rooms and a smaller yard.

So just seal the door and open a door inside.

"No problem, female educated youth, just clean up today and try to finish it in two days. We can prepare before the autumn harvest so that we won't be too busy then."

Everyone had no objection, so Chen Shanlin waved his hand and the group was dismissed.

Su Qiuyue was still thinking that Chen Shanlin was really capable.

Before leaving, Chen Shanlin told her that although she was living alone, she was still an educated youth and could come to him when she had any difficulties.

Also, you should spend more time with the educated youth, as they should be united.

Su Qiuyue nodded with a very good attitude.

After returning, I went directly to my cousin's house.

"Raise a dog?" My cousin was a little hesitant when he heard this. The two sisters can barely support themselves now, so why do they want to raise a dog?

But keeping a dog is indeed for safety reasons.

"Since you're going to raise one, get a fiercer dog, preferably a mountain dog, which can find food on its own.

Otherwise, we will have to waste a lot of food." My cousin smacked his lips and said.

Su Qiuyue nodded repeatedly, and then her cousin said he would go and look for it for her.

When I got home and told my sister that I was planning to get a dog, the little girl was immediately happy.

"Sister, I want to name the puppy."

"it is good."

"So should we make a doghouse for it? What should we make it of? Can it sleep in the house?"

"You think about it yourself."

Su Qiuyue watched her mumbling happily there and quickly went about her own business.

She changed her clothes and quickly called her sister to help clean the toilet.

Su Qiuyue built a toilet against the earth wall in the backyard.

Although the gap was made with branches picked up from the foot of the mountain, for the sake of privacy, my sister also cut a lot of wormwood. The two of them squeezed tightly into the gap and built a simple roof with wormwood on top.

By next spring, wormwood will grow around the places where grass seeds have fallen, making it even more concealed.

Moreover, this wormwood does not attract mosquitoes and is more hygienic.

Su Qiuyue made improvements to the toilet, it is not just a dry toilet.

There is a wooden barrel in the toilet pit. Now that the weather is hot, the two sisters have to clean it out every night. It would be better in winter.

There was a wooden stick in the toilet. They just passed it through the handle tied with a rope. Two people carried it to the corner of the front yard, poured it out, covered it with soil, and then went to the river to wash it clean and put it back.

The soil was piled there when the family was digging a cellar. It is farm manure and will have to be handed over to the team in due time.

After I cleaned up and washed up, I went to bed.

After a month of training, Su Qiuyue got tanned and her farm work became better and better.

Their little home is almost tidy.

By the time she and Sun Yanqiu were finally able to earn five centimeters a day, the new educated youth arrived.

The team leader and the coachman came to pick up the educated youth. Su Qiuyue was going to the commune to buy things, so she followed them.

She was able to ride a bicycle, but the team leader didn't want to take the ox cart so he let her ride first, and he rode his bicycle to the commune first.

Su Qiuyue really liked riding in an ox cart. She listened to the driver telling her stories about the past in a daze.

"Little educated youth, we've arrived, wake up!" The coachman woke up Su Qiuyue who was half asleep.

The captain hadn't come yet, so Su Qiuyue said something to the old man and went to buy things first.

She came to buy food, but actually she wanted to move the food in the space.

The two sisters can’t always not buy food and still eat happily.

In addition to buying food, you also need to buy some salt.

Her cousin's family had made some sauce, so he gave her some too. They were going to pickle some vegetables in a few days, so Su Qiuyue had to prepare salt.

Her aunt made some soybean paste for her, but she couldn't take it for free, so she had to buy some salt and give it back.

Su Qiuyue looked around and didn't find anything else, but she did buy two kilograms of brown sugar.

My aunt hasn’t been in good health since giving birth to my cousin, and now she doesn’t even go out to work in the fields.

When she returned to the ox cart, she saw the captain waving at her from a distance.

Su Qiuyue thought something had happened and walked over quickly.

Before she could say anything, the captain pulled her over and started praising her.

"Girl, why are you so quiet after doing such a good deed?

My goodness, I had no idea what was going on when the commune gave me the letter of praise.

Tell us what’s going on.”

Seeing Su Qiuyue's confused face, he took out the letter of praise from his arms.

I then realized that it was an incident where a baby was born on the train on the way to the provincial capital.

At that time, the woman in labor asked for Su Qiuyue's address, and after they had settled everything, she wrote her a letter of praise.

Su Qiuyue could only tell the captain what happened at that time.

"This is good news, kid. You didn't say a word. If it weren't for this letter, I wouldn't know you could practice medicine." The captain said happily.

"No, I just know a little bit about delivering a baby. If I want to be able to deliver a baby, I still need to learn more." Su Qiuyue corrected quickly. Being able to practice medicine and delivering a baby are two different things.

"I know, I know." Although the captain said this, he was actually thinking about it in his mind.

The child is still young and learns everything quickly. Even if he cannot learn, it is okay as long as he can deliver a baby.

Now the medical workers in each brigade are just decorations, and there are no medical workers in their brigade.

Besides, if there is a nurse who can deliver babies in the future, she will be very popular.

While the team leader was thinking, the bus carrying the educated youth arrived at the station. More than 20 educated youth got off the bus, standing together with their bags.

The people who sent the educated youth went to deliver the list, and the captains of each brigade were arguing with them.

Su Qiuyue sat on the ox cart without moving or looking around, because she knew she might see an acquaintance.

Song Xiaojuan.

In her previous life, she and Song Xiaojuan went to the brigade in Shanghe Village. It was close to the mountains and life there was particularly difficult.

She didn't have much money, and it was quickly spent in the first two years to support herself and her sister.

Although my cousin would also take time to visit them, distant water cannot quench immediate thirst.

When my sister died, something happened at my cousin's house and he had no time to take care of her.

Later, she fell into the lowest point of her life and even had a hard time moving forward throughout her life.

Only until his death did he realize that all this was thanks to Song Xiaojuan.

She didn't have any interaction with her this time, she wanted to see if Song Xiaojuan would have any connection with her again.

"Hurry up, come over here if your name is called. I don't have time to wait for you." There was dissatisfaction in the captain's voice.

Su Qiuyue looked back curiously. He was fine just now, why did he get angry in such a short while?

When she heard the name, Su Qiuyue pressed the straw hat on her head and looked at the familiar figure among the new educated youth.

"It was clearly stated that there were five, so what's the meaning of shoving another one in here?

Our Youth Hostel is full, where can I fit so many people in?!

Besides, who has the time to take care of these people? I am already busy with the farm work every day, and if I have to deal with these educated youths, our 17th Brigade will not accept any educated youths next year!"

The team leader brought a few educated youths and walked to the ox cart cursing, completely ignoring the dark faces of the educated youths behind him.

He was so ruthless and showed disgust in front of them. No one would be in a good mood.

"Hurry up and put your luggage on the bullock cart. It will take more than two hours to go back."

The captain's words caused a commotion among the educated youth:

"What? Two hours?"

"We have to walk back? Isn't there a bullock cart?"

"That's right, why don't we ride in the bullock cart?"

Seeing the educated youths complaining, the team leader, who had experience, ignored them and just stood there waiting for them to finish speaking.

Anyway, he will have food to eat when he returns.

After talking for a while, the educated youth found that the team leader was standing there leisurely, with no intention of explaining in a hurry. He closed his mouth in dismay and waited for arrangements.

“This bullock cart is for you to carry your luggage. If you don’t want the luggage, that’s fine. I won’t stop you.

Also, this is a working ox, much more valuable than your gold. It's already good enough for it to carry your luggage."

After the captain finished speaking, he ignored them.

The educated youth looked at each other and could only lower their heads to put their luggage on the ox cart.

When they come to the countryside, everyone carries large and small bags on their backs. The bags are heavier than themselves, and it would be so tiring to carry them all by themselves.

"It's loaded, everyone's on board, let's go." After saying this, the old man driving the cart sat on the shaft and slowly drove away.

"and many more."

As the ox cart started moving, someone shouted to stop, and it stopped again before it moved forward.
