Chapter 272 Finally joined the army
Zhou Huainan drove back to pick up Luo Wanyi and the children three days later than the originally agreed time.
Although the New Year had just passed, it was still snowing and the roads were difficult to walk.That's why he had to ask Zhang Shaohua to help drive. Otherwise, one more person would take up more space.
Luo Wanyi packed a lot of things at home these days, and called Zhou Huainan twice. After confirming the food she wanted to bring, she asked Fang Xiaohong, an educated youth, and the others to help. I picked up two large packages and went to the commune post office to mail them directly to the team.
Otherwise, it would be really outrageous to have three adults, five children, and a bunch of luggage and things packed into a jeep.
After sending two large packages, Luo Wanyi weighed more than ten kilograms of sugar cakes at the supply and marketing cooperative, and then packed three portions of braised pork and twenty meat buns.
She had agreed with Fang Xiaohong and the others to have a meal at home to thank them for their help and to say goodbye.
Fang Xiaohong and the others also agreed, and everyone felt a little sad about separation.This year, basically few people went back to the educated youth spots.
It's not that the production team doesn't want to go back, it's that they don't want to go back every year, and it costs a lot to go back.It's okay to give subsidies if your family is in good condition, but if you go back in average condition, you will have to live frugally for a long time after you come back.
It's better to go back every two years, save what you can, and what you save can save you from having to work so hard in the production team.
The Zhoujiazhuang production team is really good. They are not forced to work in normal times. They are forced to work only during double rush and autumn harvest. However, the labor is also distributed according to their abilities. In short, they will not force people to death.
After Luo Wanyi finished mailing the package, she went home and packed the more than ten kilograms of sugar cookies she bought into more than twenty portions. Then, while Xiaohua, Xiaohu, and Xiaotu were taking a nap, she took Li Minghao and Zhang Yum went together to deliver sugar cookies to the neighbors who had helped them.
More than twenty copies were delivered in one afternoon. Everyone knew that Luo Wanyi was about to take her children with the army, and they were all happy for her.Although they accepted the sugar cakes she sent, everyone took her things in vain. They either returned some peanuts or some snacks made by themselves. Anyway, Luo Wanyi and the children did not leave empty-handed.
When dinner was being cooked, the female educated youths also came over with things. Although Luo Wanyi said they didn't need to bring things over, no one listened to her.
The people who came this time were all female educated youths, and there were no male educated youths like Shi Aidang and Li Yuanzhi. After all, these days we still have to be careful to avoid suspicion.
Luo Wanyi took out two portions of braised pork she bought at the commune state-owned restaurant at noon, one braised directly with potatoes, one stewed with dried mushrooms, an egg with fried tofu, stir-fried cabbage, stir-fried shredded potatoes with vinegar, and an egg drop. Soup and a pot of dry rice are already very rich.
The night before Zhou Huainan came back, Luo Wanyi went to the cowshed carrying thirty pounds of flour, dozens of eggs, three pounds of brown sugar, and ten meat buns.
After she joined the team, she could no longer take care of these elderly people like this. Now she could only give a little more.
If it doesn't work, she will send them some brown sugar and millet every two months to keep them healthy, and if there is a chance, she will send some bacon, and then she will give them snacks and sugar cookies to sweeten their mouths.
Mr. Lei and the others already knew that Luo Wanyi and her children were going to join the army, and the old people were very reluctant to leave her.However, I was also happy for her in my heart. Zhou Huainan was really kind. The two children were both very good and they were happy to see them succeed.
"Xiao Luo, live a good life with Xiao Zhou and don't worry about us."
"Yes, the production team is treating us quite well now. We have enough to eat and a warm house. Lao Zhou and his sister-in-law will secretly give us some eggs and refined grains. Our health is good."
"Be careful outside. People's hearts are unpredictable. Don't reveal your wealth. Even if you have something delicious, you have to hide it. Ronaldinho, don't be too generous."
"If you have anything to discuss with Xiao Zhou, don't panic when something happens..."
“The Lord’s thing is to live your life well.”
"...Don't forget to study. Don't listen to what others say is useless. How can knowledge be useless?! Just because you can't use it now, doesn't mean you won't be able to use it in the future."
"..."
The old people were reluctant to leave Luo Wanyi and the children, and they couldn't trust her.In their opinion, Ronaldinho is too honest and a good person. Fortunately, all the people he meets are good people. If he were a bad person, his life would be over.
Anyway, the old people kept telling me, and they were full of worries, as if their daughter was going to live somewhere else.
Luo Wanyi kept nodding, but was speechless. She was afraid that she would cry.
Zhou Huainan and Zhang Shaohua arrived after a long time after dark the next day. They started from the team at dawn and drove carefully all the way before arriving safely.
Luo Wanyi had already prepared a large pot of chicken stewed with mushroom soup and dozens of steamed buns. They had just finished eating the chicken soup when two large bowls of egg noodles were served.
After first arranging for Zhang Shaohua to eat and drink, and then take a comfortable foot bath to rest, Zhou Huainan and Luo Wanyi sent two large bags of sweet potatoes and potatoes to the cowshed.
The jeep was too small to hold so many things, so Luo Wanyi exchanged the coarse grains for part of the fine grains and sent the remaining two big bags to the cowshed.
Party Secretary Zhou and the old aunt also came over after they came back. After Luo Wanyi and Zhou Huainan returned from sending the coarse grains to the cowshed, the four of them started loading things into the jeep.
From fine grains to eggs, bacon, sausages, chickens and dry goods, already packed clothes, shoes, books, a small number of pots and pans, and several jars.
After pretending to be done, and talking to the two old people for a while, Zhou Huainan sent the two old people home with the things he brought specially for his uncle and aunt.
Before dawn the next day, Luo Wanyi and Zhou Huainan got up at the same time. While boiling water, they quickly cooked eggs, then steamed steamed buns and noodles.
Party Secretary Zhou and his old aunt came again and helped spread several quilts on the back seat of the jeep.
Not long after dawn, Zhou Huainan and Zhang Shaohua were driving, and the other was sitting in the passenger seat. Then Luo Wanyi squeezed in the back seat with the five children, waving goodbye to Party Secretary Zhou and his aunt together, and finally set off.
When the jeep left Zhoujiazhuang, many people came out to see it off, including the educated youth from the Educated Youth Spot, and Mr. Lei and the others who were watching from a distance.
In this cold and snowy weather, even if you have a special car, you have to drive for a day. After all, the road is difficult and it is easy to slip and roll over.
Along the way, except for eating dumplings and noodles at a state-owned restaurant at noon, I was constantly on the road.
