Space in hand: Being an educated youth in the 1970s

Zhou Qi carried the things into the room twice, and there was no one in the Zhiqing Point, so she could have a comfortable lunch alone.

But now it's almost time to get off work, and it's impossible to enter the space, but you can take it out and eat it, thinking that there is a cake in the space before, she took out a third of it and ate it with a fork, soft and sweet, which is the taste she likes.

After slowly enjoying this cake, she was a little unsatisfied, but she couldn't eat it anymore, someone was going to come back later, she wanted to take advantage of the time when the people in the village got off work, to see the house in the village, and by the way, to see how the owner of the house was, just happening.

Zhou Qi divided the eggs she bought into two parts, one pound a catty, about a dozen or so, this pound she decided to take to the village chief's house, she will go to work tomorrow, heavy work must not be done, see if this pound of eggs can be exchanged for a light job.

Thinking about it, he found a bag to pack the eggs, and carried them to the village chief's house according to the route Aunt Niu said.

"Village chief, are you there?"

Zhou Qi knocked on the door of the village chief, and a little girl with a yellow face and thin muscles opened the door, looking at her timidly, looking like she was five or six years old, very malnourished.

She looked at it repeatedly, the blue brick and big tile house, yes, the heroine's home, but who would tell her, who is this skinny little girl?

The messy footsteps got closer and closer, and Zhou Qi saw someone coming, and an old woman with a hanging eyebrow came hurriedly.

Aunt Li looked at the white little girl standing at the door, and opened her mouth to ask, "Who are you looking for?"

looked Zhou Qi up and down, and suddenly saw the egg in Zhou Qi's hand, salivating, staring greedily.

Zhou Qi was at a loss for a moment, and she suspected that she had made a mistake.

"Auntie, I'm looking for the village chief, is this the village chief's house?" "That's right, that's right, this is the village chief's house, and I'm the village chief's

daughter-in-law." Saying

that, he welcomed Zhou Qi into the house: "His father, someone is looking for him."

Zhou Qi was full of doubts, how was it written in the book at the time, the heroine's mother tried her best to promote the good deeds of the male and female protagonists, in the eyes of the male protagonist, the female protagonist's mother was hardworking and simple, peaceful and considerate, and it was a small help for the future success of the male and female protagonists.

Who will tell me who this greedy woman is?

Just when Zhou Qi was stunned, Aunt Li snatched the egg in Zhou Qi's hand: "Come here, why do you still bring gifts." "

Who is looking for me?" Before

Zhou Qi could speak, the village chief walked out of the inner room, still holding the cigarette stick in his hand.

When the village chief who came out saw Aunt Li holding the egg, he glared at him: "Who allowed you to take other people's things?"

Aunt Li curled her mouth: "This is not the enthusiasm of other people's girls and the initiative to give it, you old man."

Zhou Qi instantly forgot about other irrelevant things, and hurriedly took the initiative to say: "Village chief, it should be, the first time I came to our village, I came to recognize the door, and I will go to work tomorrow, so I will come and take a look."

Wei Jianmin knew what this little girl meant as soon as he heard it, knocked on the cigarette stick, and saw Zhou Qi's thin chirping appearance, and he couldn't do any heavy work, so he directly gave a quasi-word: "Tomorrow, you and Dayong will pull pigweed."

Zhou Qi smiled, finally not in vain, and nodded directly, she knew that pulling pigweed was already a very easy way to live compared to going to the field.

Wei Jianmin looked at the egg in his daughter-in-law's hand, turned his head and asked, "Zhou Zhiqing, have you eaten, stay and have a meal."

Before Zhou Qi could answer, he saw Aunt Li carrying a face: "Today's lunch is all made according to the head, where is the more?

Wei Jianmin's face turned from white to blue, he didn't expect his daughter-in-law to be so faceless: "You eyeless old woman, you are so short-sighted."

Zhou Qi listened to their quarrel and said awkwardly: "Uncle, aunt, I have eaten in the town, you eat, I left a little in advance."

After speaking, she left in a daze, she still couldn't match this woman with the heroine's mother in the book, in a trance, but today's purpose has been achieved, and there is no need to stay.

As soon as he went out, he saw the little girl with yellow face and thin muscles squatting on the ground, with yellow hair and thin bones protruding, Zhou Qi couldn't bear to look at it, took out a piece of toffee from his pocket and handed it to her.

The little girl looked up at her timidly: "Thank you, sister."

Zhou Qi reached out and touched her head: "What's your name, what is the relationship between the aunt who opened the door

just now and you?" The little girl replied with a hint of hoarseness, obviously not like a five or six-year-old child's voice: "My name is Wei Laijian, and that one is my grandmother just now." She lowered her head as she spoke, looking very scared.

Zhou Qi felt very strange, isn't it the richest family in the village, why is the child in the original heroine's family so thin, and before Zhou Qi could continue to ask, he heard Aunt Li's deafening voice coming.

"Dead girl, where did you run away again, I want to be beaten again, why don't you get back quickly, don't come back again and don't eat at noon.

Wei Lai listened, his eyes revealed horror, and his body shook twice: "Sister, I'm going home first."

She looked at Zhou Qi, then turned around and ran back to the village chief's house.

Zhou Qi looked at Wei Laixi, and for the first time felt that the simple description in the book was not so real, when she saw the heroine in the morning, she was dressed beautifully in the village, and she didn't look thin, but she didn't expect the heroine's niece to be thin like this.

She pursed her lips, in the book, she is just a nameless person, and she can't help other people's family affairs.

On her way back to Zhiqing Point, she watched all the way, and the surrounding houses, except for the village chief's house, were actually earthen houses.

Thinking of this, she sighed deeply

, it was difficult on the way to the countryside~ Zhou Qi helped her forehead, she was helpless, she wanted to change to a better place to live, is it so difficult?

Hey, how can there be a small yard here, it looks much better than the village chief's house, and there is a circle of flowers and plants outside.

She approached some and took a serious look around the yard, the whole house was really well managed, clean and surrounded by flowers and plants, but why didn't Aunt Niu tell her that there was still this family in the village?

Zhou Qi secretly stepped forward, lay at the door, and listened to the movement inside, there seemed to be no one inside, why was there no sound.

Ge Bai was having lunch with his family at home, and he was tired from secretly selling eggs in the morning and rushing back to work, and he was drinking corn paste, when he heard a noise outside the door, his eyes sharpened, and he made a shushing gesture to his younger siblings.

The younger siblings didn't dare to move, and they all stared at him with wide eyes.
