"Uncle, is there food in this basket?" Gao Dapeng asked expectantly.In this day and age, every household eats very little.

"You child, you're getting worse and worse. Uncle came to see you, and you still beg for food." Gao's mother hit him on the head lightly, but it didn't hurt.

"Auntie, don't be angry. I'm just a nephew. If you don't feed him, give it to others." Gu Xi said, "Uncle brought you a lot of delicious food."

"You have to eat lunch this time before leaving, otherwise your brother-in-law will definitely say me. There is a meat ticket at home. The braised pork I cook is authentic. I cook the braised pork at noon. If you are on the way, do you think it's okay?" success.

Xiao Chengtu pulled Gu Xi's clothes shyly: "I will listen to my father."

"Okay, then bother auntie."

Going upstairs, Gao Liang and Li Ximei were so happy to see Gu Xi, Gao Liang and Li Ximei.Gao Liang's joy is firstly being polite, and secondly, his brother-in-law has become more and more capable of being a man recently. Last time, he sent 20 eggs over and left without eating, which made Gao Liang feel embarrassed to take it.So he really likes this brother-in-law now.

Li Ximei is the younger brother. Fortunately, Gu Xi didn't live with them. If they lived together, in Li Ximei's heart, even her son would be ranked behind. After all, the original plot was like this.

"Aiguo is here, your sister and I are talking about going to see you next time we take a break," Gao Liang said.

"You are tired from work, and you only have one day off a week, so you should have a good rest." Gu Xi said, taking out the things in the basket.There are 20 eggs, 10 kiwis, 5 small cucumbers, and a pound of small twists.

Gu Xi knew that Gao's family had no shortage of food, and the county town had food supplies, but what was lacking was vegetables.

"Wow, what is this?" Gao Dapeng asked, "Is this green hairy fruit a fruit? And what are these sticky ones?" He picked up the small twist and took a bite, then clicked "It's delicious, little uncle, you are so kind, I wish you could come every day from now on."

Gao Liang clapped his palm over: "You can be your little uncle's son."

"Then are you willing to do it?" Gao Dapeng asked in a big way.

"Being willing, I don't want you anymore, I gave it to your little uncle." Gao Liang spanked his ass again, "Patriotic, is this really a fruit? And this long one, I've never seen it before."

Gu Xi introduced: "This is kiwi fruit, which is wild. But it is very popular abroad to eat, and it is very nutritious. Auntie, give me a knife."

"Okay." Mother Gao handed him the knife.

Gu Xi cut open the kiwi, and broke it into four pieces: "Peel and eat, eat and see."

Gao Dapeng was the first one: "It's delicious, it's so delicious, I want to eat it." Children just like this kind of sweet and sour food, with a lot of sweetness.

Li Ximei took a bite: "Well, it's delicious."

Gao Liang took a bite: "This is called a kiwi fruit? It's great to be able to pick such a delicious fruit on the mountain."

Gao's mother took a bite: "Foreigners like to eat this food, isn't it very expensive?"

"It's more expensive than apples." Gu Xi said, picking up the cucumber again, "This is a cucumber, a kind of vegetable, and it's a variety imported from big cities outside. You can wash it and eat it raw, or you can eat it with scrambled eggs. Auntie You go wash it, cut it open and everyone can taste it."

Compared with cucumbers, Gao Dapeng still likes kiwi fruit, but he also likes cucumbers.But the little cucumber Gaomu wants to be a vegetable.

At noon that day, Gao's mother cooked eggs and cucumbers. Gao's mother thought that this food was more delicious than eating it raw. Then she had a plate of braised pork, a plate of pickles, a bowl of deep-fried dough sticks and soy sauce soup, a bowl of potato slices, and boiled white meat. rice.

They don't usually eat so well, but a bowl of braised pork is not worth 20 eggs.For the same price, 20 eggs are more than two catties, and the eggs are eaten.

When Gu Xi left, Mother Gao gave him 5 catties of fine white flour.

This is the case with relatives. Only when they come and go can they go for a long time.

Gu Xi refused, but Mrs. Gao was too polite, so he accepted it.

After leaving Gao's house, Gu Xi went to the department store to find Manager Dai again.There were two apples in Manager Dai's office, and they were all given to Xiao Chengtu.

However, Gu Xi was also polite, and gave him 10 eggs, 5 kiwis, a catty of small twists, and 5 cucumbers.People of Manager Dai's age must have children at home.

When Gu Xi left, he took with him a sweater worn by Xiao Chengtu and two pairs of children's socks. They were all defective products, and they could be bought without a ticket.But it is this kind of defective product, which cannot be bought without relationship, so the relationship is maintained in this way.

The sweater is red, this color is very rare these days, but the color is not good, there is a piece of white on the sleeve, Gu Xi thinks it's nothing.

Two pairs of socks are made of cotton, one pair has a small hole, and the other pair is also a color problem.

Two pairs of socks cost 5 cents, and a sweater costs 3 yuan.

Gu Xi thought it was worth it.

On the way back, passing by the supply and marketing station, Gu Xi thought that he still had a one-jin meat ticket, which was valid for the current month, so he went to buy meat, but the meat was gone, only the bones remained, that is, ribs.

He bought four catties of pork ribs with a catty of meat tickets, and the ribs cost 4 cents a catty, but everyone likes to eat meat, not pork ribs.Gu Xi felt that he had made a profit again, so he used meat tickets to buy ribs in the future.

The dinner of the father and son is of course ribs stewed potatoes, the old classic method, a pound of ribs, a pound of potatoes, a total of three bowls, the father and son ate one bowl, a small bowl for the neighbor, and a small bowl for Grandma Li.Grandma Li must not eat bones, but drinking bone soup is also very good.

The food delivered by Xiao Chengtu, he likes to deliver food very much now.

Gu Xi went to look at the vegetable field at the back again, and felt that in a few days there would be another bumper harvest of cucumbers.In the end, he harvested 20 cabbages, came out from the vegetable field, and ran into He Kai: "I'm back." Gu Xi called out, He Kai seemed to have gone to the county seat today.

He Kai raised his head and looked at Gu Xi, his eyes were very red, as if he had been crying.He forced a smile and went back to the room.

The sound insulation effect of old houses is not bad, but it is definitely not good.At night, Gu Xi heard He Kai's crying, which was actually a bit heavy.

He Kai gave him the impression that he was a clever and shrewd young educated youth. At the age of 19, he was very carefree in modern times, but in this age, he is destined to mature prematurely.

The thing that can make him cry must be something wrong at home.

On Monday, two things happened.

The first thing is that Hong Mingzhu didn't come to class.His mother was buried on October 10st, and Hong Mingzhu came to school on October 1th, but she didn't come today.Remembering that Hong Mingzhu was usually listless in class, Gu Xi decided to visit her home.

At noon, he and his son had just had a good meal when Village Chief Li came.

"Patriotic, have you had lunch yet?"

"Eat, Abo came to see me for something?" Gu Xi asked.

"Hey..." Village Chief Li smiled, "Patriotic, Uncle just thinks that you are too tired to teach three classes by yourself, why don't you teach two classes?"

"Oh? Ah Bo hired another primary school teacher?" Gu Xi was just curious about who the primary school teacher he invited was.

"Yeah, it's the educated youth from the city. The educated youth is a high school student with a higher education than you... Of course, Uncle is not saying that you have a low education, but a high school student with a high education must be good at teaching, don't you think? ?” said Village Chief Li.

What he wants to say is that high school students must teach better than your junior high school students.

"Okay." Gu Xi said, "The educated youth came to our village to go to the countryside for free. Anyway, the village will also give food when he goes to the field, and the village will also give food when he teaches. It is the same for the village."

"This isn't..." Village Chief Li hurriedly said, "This educated youth must be paid as a teacher to teach."

"Isn't that appropriate?" Gu Xi said, "It's a national regulation for educated youths to go to the countryside these days. In order to make them suffer and adapt to the countryside, if we pay wages, it will violate the national regulations, and it will be a serious matter."

"Isn't it... no way?" Village Chief Li hesitated.

"And not only that, the number of teachers in the school is limited. Now there are eight educated youths. Who do you plan to invite? You must know that He Kai's family is still the deputy county magistrate. If you hire someone else and don't invite He Kai, he will write to his father when the time comes. , His father told the country that the country asked the county government to investigate, so who will go to jail?" Gu Xi asked again.

When he heard that he was in jail, Village Chief Li was shocked.Thinking back, this is really the truth.Educated youths are here to do things, they don’t need to be paid, why should they be paid?

"Abbot, tell me, which educated youth wants to teach?" Gu Xi asked, "Aren't he worried about you when he asks for a salary like this? They're all high school students. You should know this with common sense Bar?"

Village head Li smiled: "No one, I just came to ask, and I suddenly thought of it. I'll leave first if it's nothing, patriotic, you can do your work." Then he left in a hurry.

Gu Xi raised his eyebrows, eight educated youths, who is the one who wants to teach?

No matter who this person is, he will take care of him slowly.

But now, he was still worried about Hong Mingzhu.

After the students got out of school in the afternoon, Gu Xi went to Hongjia Village.When he arrived at Hongjia Village, he asked an aunt for directions. The aunt saw him riding a bicycle, and the clothes on his body were clean and unpatched, so she asked curiously, "Who are you? Did you come to say hello to Hong Mingzhu?" "

say kiss? "Hong Mingzhu is only 14 years old, so you want to talk about kissing at such a young age?" Gu Xi was taken aback, "What's more, her mother said kissing just after she died?"

"So you didn't say kiss to her. Recently, her family is talking to her." The aunt said, "Her mother is dead, so of course her grandma is going to say kiss to her. Hey... their family used to have her mother." Hold on, her father is weak, now that her mother dies, his father will not be able to stand up, and the old woman wants to say goodbye to Hong Mingzhu, crying and fussing, her father can't do anything about it. I said who are you?"

"I'm his teacher. She didn't come to school today. I was worried that something might happen to her, so I came to take a look." Gu Xi replied.
