They in the 70s

Since years ago, the higher authorities issued a notice, according to the latest policy instructions: Educated youths will only have family leave after they have been sent to the countryside for two years, and they are not allowed to return to the city privately.

The people from the County Educated Youth Office were afraid that this group of educated youths would not be acceptable, and that they would make trouble if they felt resentful, so they went to the countryside in batches to comfort the educated youths on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Liu Dawei came to Shimen Village, and he was very curious about how Lu Zhansheng grew mushrooms. When he arrived, he asked Wu Changde to take him to visit the mushroom house.

Lu Zhansheng is already carefully cultivating his second crop of mushrooms. He is opening the window to ventilate the mushroom room. When he looked up and saw Liu Dawei walking into the yard, his eyes lit up.

"... "

Liu Dawei saw Lu Zhansheng's expectant expression on his face, and he was very glad that he didn't have time to start when he came today. He brought the seeds of leeks and sprouts that Lu Zhansheng asked him to help find yesterday.

Entering the mushroom room, Liu Dawei turned around and looked at the young mushrooms that had grown up, feeling very strange, and couldn't help sighing repeatedly:

"Comrade Xiao Lu, you are really amazing. People here have never thought that vegetables can be grown inside the house. How did you come up with it!"

Under normal circumstances, Lu Zhansheng is too lazy to be polite to Liu Dawei, but after all, he has brought the new seeds he needs, and it is also good for them educated youths, so he just responded with a few words: "This is not because you have nothing to eat. Yes, if a person is hungry, his wisdom is boundless."

Liu Dawei didn't quite agree with these words, he felt that knowledge is still necessary, otherwise it would be useless no matter how anxious he was, he would just starve to death.

However, Liu Dawei doesn't intend to express his thoughts, because Lu Zhansheng planted mushrooms in the winter, which solved the famine problem in Shimen Village. Now he will continue to grow leeks and sprouts, so now this kid belongs to Shimen The pillar of the village is the life-saving god, who does what the god says.

Returning to today's topic, Liu Dawei said again: "I can't let you go back to the capital for the New Year, I've wronged you educated youths."

"... "

Lu Zhansheng didn't quite agree with this statement. He didn't feel aggrieved at all, and he was even grateful for this policy. After all, even if the higher authorities allowed family visits, the group of them couldn't go back, because they didn't have money, and they couldn't get a ticket back to Beijing. Can't afford it at all.

Being unable to go back due to policy disallowance is different from being unable to go back due to being able to return but have no money to buy a ticket. The latter not only makes them collapse, but also their family members cannot accept it.

After they arrived here, they always reported good news but not bad news.

And more importantly, with Zheng Yan's appearance, they didn't know how to go back and face their parents at home.

But Lu Zhansheng didn't say this, he just pinned his hope on next year, he pretended to be serious: "Director Liu, it's fine if you have already done this this year, if you have the opportunity to apply for family leave next year, you must remember to try your best to get it for us. "

"That's for sure!"

Liu Dawei immediately reassured him: "It depends on the policy next year! Once there is a quota, it must be given to you Shimen Village educated youths first!"

Gee.

When Lu Zhansheng heard this, he said yes, the mushrooms were indeed not in vain yesterday.

While the two were talking, He Zhi came and hugged Xiao Chunsheng.

Liu Dawei was very impressed with Xiao Chunsheng's baby. After all, it was the baby that made Lu Zhansheng not hesitate to get into trouble, and now he is being raised by He Zhi. One of the two brothers is capable and the other is educated. He feels that the baby's future life will not be bad. He said with emotion: "Hey, this baby is lucky!"

Everyone: ...

Lu Zhansheng didn't understand the life of a child who lost his father before he was born and lost his mother before one year old, but seeing He Zhi frowned after listening to Liu Dawei's words, he couldn't help it, he had a good temper Immediately exhausted, he said directly: "This is a good life for you, do you want it?"

Liu Dawei didn't understand Lu Zhansheng's original intention. After hearing that, he thought that Lu Zhansheng wanted to give this child to him to raise, so he quickly waved his hands: "No, no, I can't afford it. I still have two children at home. , or Comrade Xiaohe, you have taken care of it well."

After Lu Zhan was overwhelmed, he couldn't hold back and said: "You really dare to think."

"what!"

Liu Dawei understood, but he didn't intend to continue this topic, because he noticed Wu Changde's eyes looking over him, so he wanted to quickly end and talk about something else.

But Wu Changde didn't give him this chance, and said to him directly: "It's not easy for a baby, and even the New Year's Eve is confiscated."

Liu Dawei: ...

He knew that as a leader, as long as he came to Shimen Village, he would leave something behind.

When Wu Changde and Liu Dawei were fighting each other, Lu Zhan felt that they were too noisy, so he dragged He Zhi to another room.

Xiao Chunsheng just ate and drank enough, he was very energetic, he laughed and giggled when he was teased, Lu Zhansheng laughed for a while, and looked up at He Zhi with a slight frown between his brows.

"Oh, Comrade He Zhi."

Lu Zhansheng stretched out his hand to embrace He Zhi, and comforted him: "There is nothing wrong with saying that his life is good. After all, he will follow us in the future, and he will definitely have endless good days."

He Zhi said: "I just think that no matter how good we are to him, we can't make up for his regret of not having parents since he was a child."

"Why don't you have parents?"

Lu Zhansheng said: "If he wants a father, I can definitely be him."

"... "

He Zhi seemed a little helpless, but still cooperated with him and asked, "Then what if he wants his mother?"

"Mom." Lu Zhansheng chuckled: "Of course you can only come."

"... "

He Zhi pouted.

Lu Zhansheng smiled, then pulled him over and kissed him on the forehead: "Okay, don't think about things that can't be changed, we just need to think about what we can do in the future, and think about how to make him grow up Just to reduce the loss of not having biological parents by my side."

He Zhi didn't say anything after hearing this, but after leaning in his arms for a while, and then looking down at the little guy in his arms, his brows finally relaxed.

Seeing that he had coaxed him well, Lu Zhansheng reached out his hand to find out in his trouser pocket.

He took out a steel coin.

It was the one in Li Yueru's hand. Lu Zhansheng felt that it should carry all the love and hope for the child when Li Yueru was dying, so he cut a small hole in the steel coin, and then weaved it with red string. .

After putting it on Xiao Chunsheng's neck, Lu Zhansheng poked the little guy's forehead and said with a smile, "Our Xiao Chunsheng will be the best baby in the world from now on."

The little guy pouted as if he understood, which made He Zhi also laugh.

After the mushrooms grew steadily, Lu Zhansheng handed over the mushroom house to Song Jian for management, and went to open up a new base by himself.

At first, he wanted to use Li Yueru's house, but after much deliberation, he decided to forget it, because he wanted to preserve some traces of his mother's life for Xiao Chunsheng, so that the child could at least know what his former home was when he grew up. looks like.

After choosing and choosing, Lu Zhansheng finally chose Grandma Sun's house for the new base, because Grandma Sun was also a wealthy family when she was young. There were four cave dwellings in the family, but now three are vacant.

After the villagers cleaned it out and built the stove, Lu Zhansheng took them to pick some soil from the most fertile farmland in the village, and then started to grow vegetables.

Leeks and sprouts are two vegetables that like shade and don’t need too much light, but the growth cycle is a bit longer. They germinate five days after planting and mature in more than 20 days.

But the growth is good.

After the two kinds of vegetables were ripe, Lu Zhansheng only kept some for He Zhi and the villagers to taste, and the rest were shipped to the county for sale.

Leeks and sprouts are not uncommon dishes in Bian Sui, and they are not as popular as mushrooms. Lu Zhansheng felt this when he first arrived at the market.

Although I have already greeted Liu Dawei in advance, and although I have tried my best to divide it into small portions and sell it to multiple people, after all, the current policy is clearly on my head, and private operations are not allowed.

Since the last time they sold mushrooms, Lu Zhansheng and his group have attracted attention in the local area. If they stay in the market for a long time, there is still a certain risk.

In order to avoid being caught, Liu Dawei will not be able to handle it at that time, so Lu Zhansheng decided to make a quick decision and sell it at a low price.

The price is low, and the sales are fast. The twenty or so baskets of vegetables are all sold out in less than a day.

Another small profit, everyone is very excited.

Song Jian and Zhao Jun proposed to buy food and bring it back so that everyone could eat something good. The villagers who came with them suggested that they should save their money for future needs.

However, Lu Zhansheng felt that both of these proposals were inappropriate.

In the past, Lu Zhansheng might think the same way as Song saw them, no matter what happens to him in the future, he can eat comfortably when he has money, but now he feels that he has a lot of responsibilities on his shoulders, and he can't spend it recklessly for the time being.

And his idea is to earn money and spend it, and saving money for use is another form of waste.

So, after thinking about it, Lu Zhansheng took out a small amount of money and asked Song Jian to buy food, mainly for Chunsheng and the children in the village.

For the rest of the money, Lu Zhansheng took the villagers who came to sell vegetables together to the poultry hatchery factory in the county.

Speaking of which, the subsequent disasters in Shimen Village all started from the plague at the beginning. At that time, everyone endured heartache and disposed of those chickens, ducks and geese. As a result, the children in the village were never able to eat anything delicious. Nutritious things, one by one, become more sallow and thin.

Now that so long has passed and the plague has been completely eradicated, Lu Zhansheng feels that it is time for everyone to raise a new batch of poultry.

When Lu Zhansheng and the others came back with baskets of chickens and ducklings, the whole village erupted again.

Lu Zhansheng proposed to Wu Changde not to divide them into households, but to distribute them according to the head of each household. It was rare for Wu Changde not to compete with him, and he agreed very happily.

Lu Zhansheng was puzzled at first, but he understood when he saw that many of the villagers cried out of excitement after receiving the chicks and ducklings.

In the concept of Shimen Village people, chickens, ducks and geese are not only poultry, but also the greatest hope for their survival in the famine years. The sense of security brought to them is something Lu Zhansheng could not have imagined even if he experienced it himself.

Wu Changde was also touched and was in no mood to compete with him.

Lu Zhansheng was not used to watching everyone cry and cry, so before everyone gathered around him to say something, he hurriedly brought six little chickens to Grandma Sun.

However, he still didn't escape.

Grandma Sun was so excited when she saw the little basket of chicks, she also shed tears.

Lu Zhansheng had no choice but to see the old man shed tears, so he had to quickly comfort him: "Grandma, why are you crying? It was agreed at the beginning that if the chicken is sick, I don't want it, and I will raise new ones for you later."

"Good baby."

Grandma Sun has no education and can't express, but she knew very well in her heart that she thought she might not live long, let alone have the opportunity to raise another batch of chickens and ducks. She touched Lu Zhansheng's head and said With tears in her eyes, she smiled: "Grandma takes good care of her, and I will give you all the eggs in the future."

"Okay."

Lu Zhansheng immediately agreed with a smile: "Then I'll wait."

Leaving from Grandma Sun, Lu Zhansheng went straight back to the hut.

He Zhi also brought back a few baby ducklings, who had just settled them down.

Lu Zhansheng saw that He Zhi seemed to like those little furry things very much, and he was also happy, so he leaned over with a smile, and hugged him.

Originally, I wanted to hear some compliments and satisfy my psychological needs, but after cuddling her, I suddenly felt that my physical needs seemed to be more urgent.

For so long, Lu Zhansheng has been busy and rarely came back to sleep. His body really missed He Zhi very much, so he directly took him to the bedside and knocked him down.

However, after being pushed down, when he was about to do something, he turned to the side, and his gaze met a certain child's.

Xiao Chunsheng was lying on the small bed, looking at him with his round eyes full of innocence and innocence.

Lu Zhansheng: ...
