They in the 70s

In the past two days, He Zhi seemed to be in a bad mood, often sitting alone, not very talkative, and now he doesn't care much about others.

Lu Zhansheng guessed that he might be homesick.

By the way, He Zhi has been here for more than ten days, and he wrote a letter to Aunt Luo on the second day of his arrival. If Aunt Luo replied immediately when she received it, she should have received it in a few days, but the postman recently I have never been to Shimen Village.

Lu Zhansheng had just experienced the feeling of being homesick and missing someone, and it was very difficult. When he missed He Zhi at the beginning, he felt like he was scratching his head, but now that He Zhi misses his mother, it will only feel more uncomfortable than he did before.

Although Lu Zhansheng sometimes slanders He Zhi, thinking that Feng Shui has turned, and now it is He Zhi's turn to feel the pain he suffered before, but seeing that He Zhi is in such a low mood, unable to eat or sleep well, he feels in his heart that it is not taste.

But he also felt that there was nothing he could do. He had already fooled Liu Dawei from the County Educated Youth Office once for the approval document for visiting relatives.

So Lu Zhansheng was also a little worried these two days, he didn't know how to solve He Zhi.

However, catching up with the recent two days, the food level of the educated youth spot has dropped.

A while ago, the family has basically eaten up all the things sent by the family, and now basically only the cornmeal and miscellaneous grains distributed by the County Educated Youth Office, as well as pickled Chinese cabbage and radish are left.

Facing these things, everyone's appetite is not very good, but after all, there is nothing else to eat, so everyone can deal with it anyway.

But He Zhi couldn't, if he wasn't really hungry, he wouldn't be able to eat, so that he didn't eat much of every meal in the past two days, and he looked more and more haggard every day.

So Lu Zhansheng was also a little anxious. He didn't eat or drink, and he was in a bad mood. With He Zhi's physique, he definitely couldn't last long.

Thinking that there is no good way to make He Zhi feel better for the time being, Lu Zhansheng planned to get him something delicious to fill his stomach first.

One day at noon, Lu Zhansheng went out to the village alone. He wanted to see who was raising chickens and ducks. He really wanted to buy one and stew it for He Zhi to eat. When he arrived at the entrance of the village, he saw a man holding chickens and ducks. A big goose came out of a yard.

The man was wearing a black torn padded jacket, unkempt, and looked very sloppy, but the people in this village are basically not very clean, so Lu Zhansheng didn't think much about it at the time, and asked directly: "Brother, do you sell this goose?" ?”

The man looked him up and down for a moment, then stretched out a finger: "Five dollars."

Lu Zhansheng was a little speechless at the time. The roast duck at the time-honored Peking Restaurant in Beijing was only [-] yuan when it was roasted with sauce. Here, a goose here costs [-] yuan with its mouth open. It is basically a wild asking price. I feel that this person It was obvious that he was an educated youth who wanted to blackmail someone, so Lu Zhansheng just ignored him.

Lu Zhansheng went door to door in the village and asked almost all the households that raised chickens and ducks, but none of them were willing to sell, because they basically raised eggs that could lay eggs, and those eggs were either used to raise children or exchanged for money. , will not be slaughtered for meat.

Lu Zhansheng was a little disappointed when he turned around and found nothing. When he came back, the man holding the goose was waiting for him near the educated youth spot, as if he knew that he couldn't buy it.

Lu Zhansheng was very helpless. Although he didn't want to be fooled by this, he couldn't buy it elsewhere, and he didn't want He Zhi to be so hungry. So, after weighing it, he paid five yuan and took the goose. bought it.

however.

What Lu Zhansheng fell for was not just an expensive purchase.

When he happily brought the goose back to the educated youth point, cleaned it up and chopped it into pieces, and was about to bring it into the house for cooking, a young pregnant woman with a big belly suddenly came to her. Another fat middle-aged woman.

As soon as the middle-aged woman saw the goose feathers on the ground and pieces of meat on the chopping board, she immediately pointed at Lu Zhansheng angrily and yelled, "Come on! Everyone, come and see! These educated youths are stealing things! "

Lu Zhansheng was startled at the time, and immediately put down the knife and stood up and said to the middle-aged woman, "Hey, don't yell, I bought this."

"lie!"

The middle-aged woman pointed at the pregnant woman again: "The master is here, how dare you lie!"

Lu Zhansheng immediately looked at the pregnant woman.

The pregnant woman looked very kind, but she didn't make any noise, but she was a little anxious, and her eyes were red with anxiety. She asked Lu Zhansheng, "Young man, who did you buy it from?"

"A man." Lu Zhansheng said immediately.

"Lying again!"

The middle-aged woman shouted again: "Her man died a long time ago. You educated youths have no humanity. You only pick soft persimmons. You know her man is dead, and now you have a big belly. It's easy to bully!"

At this time, He Zhi and Zheng Yan came out of the house.

Zheng Yan came up and said to the woman: "Don't accuse good people, we didn't bully anyone, and we couldn't steal your things."

Song Jian also said: "It's just a goose, is it worth using the word 'steal'?"

"That's right, we bought it with money, okay?"

"We didn't steal at all."

"... "

Zhao Jun and Li Dabao also echoed a few words.

Only He Zhi didn't speak.

He Zhi just looked at the pregnant woman with a big belly, then his eyes landed on the goose feathers on the ground, and he gradually frowned.

At this time, some villagers also rushed over after hearing the sound, and after they came, they didn't ask what was going on, and started pointing and cursing at Lu Zhansheng.

For a while, almost all the villagers firmly believed that Lu Zhansheng had stolen it, because he had indeed gone door-to-door to ask for it just now, and he didn't buy it.

Lu Zhan has grown up so much, and the worst thing he thinks is damaging to morality is to stop queuing up when he goes out to buy things. Stealing and robbing are also taboos at his place, and he has never done such a thing.

If it's just scolding, Lu Zhansheng doesn't care that much. He doesn't care if others scold him or not, but Lu Zhansheng can't stand being framed and slandered. The man also scolded, and he picked up the stick in anger.

However, before swiping it over, He Zhi stopped him.

When Zheng Yan, Song Jian and others were arguing with those people, Lu Zhansheng deliberately observed the expression on He Zhi's face. He wanted to know what He Zhi would think of this situation, but he did not succeed in getting He Zhi's attention. He Zhi's thoughts at the moment can be seen from his expression, because He Zhi's attention seems to be only on anxiously stopping him from fighting.

When the trouble here was about to start, Wu Changde came.

Wu Changde had always had a good impression of Lu Zhansheng, and he was still willing to believe him. After listening to his explanation and description of the man's appearance and clothes, he asked someone to call the man over.

But after the man came, he pretended that he had never seen Lu Zhansheng at all, refused to admit it, and even felt that he was wronged, almost rolling around.

At this time, the villagers hardly spoke.

That man's name is Zhao Si, a well-known bum in the village. He is usually greedy and lazy, and likes to sneak around. The villagers are not surprised that he can do such a thing, and they all know that he probably did it.

And at this point, Lu Zhansheng also understood where he had been fooled.

Zhao Si refused to admit it, and no one else was around at the time, so there was no evidence for this matter.

Wu Changde couldn't do anything about it, although he knew that Lu Zhan was wronged when he was probably born, but he couldn't just punish Zhao Si's crime with empty words, he just made a mess, and then let the matter go away.

The rascal continues to be a rascal, and the unlucky one thinks he is unlucky.

Everyone just stopped talking.

No one apologized to Lu Zhansheng, and no one returned his innocence.

When everyone dispersed, He Zhi stopped the pregnant woman, and then went to the house to get ten yuan.

The pregnant woman knew that Lu Zhansheng had been duped and refused to take it, but He Zhi still forced the money into her hand and said, "It's our fault."

It can be seen that when Lu Zhansheng heard this sentence, his heart turned cold.

In fact, Lu Zhansheng understood why He Zhi wanted to give the money. After all, he also heard the villagers scolding him just now. He knew that the husband of this pregnant woman passed away. She was alone in the village. Goose laying eggs can be a big blow to her life, so more compensation should be given.

But Lu Zhansheng didn't understand why He Zhi said "it's our fault". He Zhi didn't even ask him about the specific situation, and didn't understand the whole situation. He just said "it's our fault" based on what he saw. wrong."

Even Lu Zhansheng was framed and disgusted, and suffered such grievances, He Zhi didn't say the first half of a sentence for him during the whole process, and before he gave him a comforting look, he first said that it was his fault.

This is always the case.

At that moment, Lu Zhansheng was very sad, he couldn't tell what kind of mood he was in, but it made him feel powerless, and made him feel as if no matter what he did, the established impression in He Zhi's heart would not be regained.

After the crowd dispersed, Lu Zhansheng went to sit on the threshing floor for a while, refusing everyone to follow him, including He Zhi.

Lu Zhansheng knew that He Zhi would comfort him after he came over, but he didn't want such comfort afterwards.

After dinner in the evening, Lu Zhansheng took a stick and planned to go out.

Everyone knew what he was going to do, and they all knew that he had a sense of control, so no one stopped him.

Except He Zhi.

In fact, for Lu Zhansheng, most of the time when fighting, it is he who shows his attitude to others, that is, he will not take the initiative to provoke others, but others should not hurt him for no reason, otherwise, he will get back twice as much.

And in today's situation, the one who feels wronged is not Lu Zhansheng alone.

Lu Zhansheng still remembers that on the second day after they arrived in this village, some children in the village were very curious about them and came to hang around the educated youth spot. When a few girls saw them, they gave them some snacks and candies brought from home. .

Because of this, from the afternoon of that day to the next few days, children kept coming to the educated youth restaurant to ask for something to eat. Zheng Yan and the others asked, and the children said that their parents asked them to come, saying that there is good food here. For food, if you ask for it, you will give it, if you don’t give it, you will cry.

Children are pure-minded and just want something to eat. This is not enough for them to care about, but this phenomenon has triggered their reflection:

It seems that in the impression of those villagers, these educated youths are rich and stupid.

Lu Zhansheng knew that what happened to him today was also an example. If he let it go, if he just accepted this dumb loss in such a silent way, then there is no guarantee that no one will follow suit in the future, and there is no guarantee that his companions will not Encounter a similar situation again.

They had already been pointed at once before when they stopped giving their children food.

Lu Zhansheng couldn't tolerate this kind of thing happening a second time. He had to let those people know that although their group of educated youths were foreigners, they didn't want to be slaughtered for their own sake, and they weren't stupid either. It is impossible to just swallow your anger when you are wronged.

Lu Zhansheng didn't want to explain this to He Zhi, because the explanation didn't make sense, he just asked He Zhi when He Zhi stopped him: "What else can you threaten me this time?"

ignore?in spite of?or something else?

He Zhi probably knew that he was powerless to stop him, so he didn't say anything in the end and stepped aside.

But from this night onwards, she turned her back to him again when she slept.
