Chapter 390 389 feelings

Feelings come from everywhere.

I gave you a gift, you did something for me, and we owe nothing to each other. This is called a transaction, and it has a certain human touch, but it won't last long.

True friendship is a silent, long-flowing type that moistens things, and needs to be maintained with a grateful heart.

This is an era that pays attention to dedication. Last year and the beginning of this year, we were still vigorously promoting high productivity and leapfrogging. We wish that one person could complete the work of ten people, and wish that the output of one village could feed a county.

Tang Zhitong knew that this was impossible to achieve given the current productivity.

Tang Zhitong supports the expansion of manpower. If the horses want to run away, they must be given grass. If they want to be promoted, they must also give employees the dignity of survival.

When others are exaggerating their output, what Tang Zhitong said is to show weakness, exaggerate difficulties, gain support, and properly reverse operations.

This approach is not mainstream, but it doesn’t mean that no one does it, it just can’t be brought to light.

Fangyuan was not a fool, he understood that Tang Zhitong was thinking about himself.

The manpower remains unchanged, but the workload has increased. If it is done well, it will be fine. The top will be satisfied, but the bottom may have some complaints.

What if it doesn’t work well? There is accountability from above, and there are opinions from below, which is a discord between both ends.

Of course, no matter what, they both want to do things well, but their ideas are slightly different.

The decision-making power rests with Fangyuan. If we really want to fight for manpower, it will involve a series of operations.

Tang Zhitong stopped talking and didn't say much more about this matter. He told Fangyuan what he had experienced during his trip to Anton, such as the reduction of rations, insufficient supply, and the lack of prey within 20 kilometers of the mountains.

In the adult world, there is no question of breaking the casserole. Fangyuan drank with Tang Zhitong while chatting with him.

Fangyuan knew more or less about the situation in other places. It was very difficult in his hometown. He had also received letters asking for help, but what could he do?
Yesterday, when I was getting to know the situation, a escort asked Fangyuan: No matter how hard it is, I am not afraid of being tired. What should I do if I encounter someone who picks up cars in the future? You can persuade, scold, and use your fists, but do you really use guns?

Everyone gets drunk without being drunk, especially when there is something on their mind.

Although the wine was good, Tang Zhitong did not dare to drink more, leaving Fangyuan with a good fortune.

After drinking two more glasses of water at Fangyuan's house, Tang Zhitong said goodbye and went home.

Anyone who has drunk alcohol knows that it is very easy to lose water after drinking this alcohol.

Thanks to the fact that bigger alleys now have toilets, Tang Zhitong didn't wet his pants.

Sijiu City has carried out several health campaigns this year, with loud slogans: Mobilize the whole people, everyone takes action, so that sparrows have no way to go to the sky, rats have no way to enter the ground, and mosquitoes and flies have no descendants.

Therefore, the environment of the toilet is relatively friendly. At least there was no queue when Tang Zhitong went there.

Speaking of queues for the toilets, Tang Zhitong thought of a street in the city called "Ba Daju". It was really unique to do the barbecue yourself. However, the toilets on that street were not only pitiful, but also extremely dirty.

Tang Zhitong still feels that the toilets in scenic spots such as Daming Lake and Qianfo Mountain in his hometown are clean. Calling them five stars may be a bit exaggerated, but at least they are above three stars.

Although the snacks in Furong Street and Kuanhouli are a bit expensive, Chaoyixing, a common favorite, is cheap. A piece of meat, a meatball, and a bowl of rice can be eaten for less than 20 yuan. I really don’t have the money. A portion of rice with some soup and two free bowls of porridge will make you full. It is a down-to-earth restaurant.

In this day and age, it’s hard to take another bite, and I don’t know when I’ll be able to eat it again.

Tang Zhitong rode his bicycle and wandered home. When he arrived at the door of his house, he did not forget to stuff a bag of pine nuts into his bag. He promised three hundred kilograms to his classmate Xiao Wang, and he had to find an opportunity to gather enough pine nuts.

The pine nuts are just picked out of the pine cone using the space and need to be dried. As for the pine cone, let's put it in the space temporarily. If there is a chance to dry it, it will definitely be used to make a fire.

In the yard, Fengzhen was hitting the sandbags "bang bang", while Xiao Wang was kicking the shuttlecock and glanced at Fengzhen from time to time to see if the punch was correct.

Fengzhi held a few soft dates in her hand and was squatting on the steps, chewing them.

"You're back?" After seeing her husband, classmate Xiao Wang gently lifted his foot, reached out and grabbed the shuttlecock in his hand, and greeted him with a smile.

Fengzhen stopped and called brother, then raised her sleeves and wiped the sweat from her forehead.

"Brother, brother, there's also a ha... ha... ha melon!" Fengzhi was more direct, thinking about the food, and couldn't get the name right after chatting for a long time.

"Eat, let's eat tonight." After seeing this scene, the sense of depression caused by the famine outside at Fangyuan's home immediately disappeared.

"How much have you drunk? Drink less in the future." Zhang Guifang saw her son coming back, reached out to take the satchel, and gave instructions.

"It's up to you. Mom, I will bring back the pine nuts in bits and pieces recently. You will dry them in batches at home. After drying, I will fry the pine nuts." Tang Zhitong happily agreed. It will probably be difficult for him to drink in the future. Bought.

Anton's wine is already hard to buy, otherwise Su Xiao wouldn't have just brought a bottle of wine when he went to Tang Wenbang's house for dinner two days ago. I'm afraid Sijiucheng would be in trouble too.

"Do you want to take a nap?" After sleeping in the same bed for more than half a year, Xiao Wang has a full understanding of her husband's wine. He likes to take a nap after drinking, as long as he doesn't touch tiger bone wine. .

"Okay, you'll wake me up for dinner later." Tang Zhitong nodded, yawned and entered the side room.

This season is neither cold nor hot, so it is suitable for sleeping or doing anything else.

When Tang Zhitong woke up, there was a glass of water by his bedside. Although it was cold, he still drank it in one gulp.

A good wine is a good wine. You won’t get dry mouth or get drunk after drinking.

"Brother, brother, haha ​​melon." Fengzhi, who was doing homework, immediately reminded Tang Zhitong as he entered the room.

"Little fool, that's called cantaloupe. Do your homework quickly and eat it after you finish." Tang Zhitong rubbed Fengzhi's head and took a look at tonight's food, steamed buns, porridge, and two bowls of pickles, one with salted eggs and the other with Toona buds.

"Eucalyptus, your Aunt Ma has brought some pomegranates, and you can send her some pine nuts." Zhang Guifang, holding a spoon and serving porridge to her family, ordered Tang Zhitong.

"Okay." Tang Zhitong agreed happily, picked up the wrapped pine nuts from the table and went out.

The Tang family and the Ma family live across the street and have been neighbors for more than ten years.

When Tang Zhitong was a child, he often ate Ma's pomegranates. Sometimes before they were ripe, Ma San'er would come down and share the food with Tang Zhitong. Naturally, he would receive a lesson when he returned home.

Now that the children have grown up, the Ma family has begun to look forward to their grandchildren...

After returning from the Ma family, the Tang family had a meal and shared the melons.

"It's delicious!" Fengzhi gnawed her mouth full of juice. The piece of cantaloupe in her hand was uneven, and the piece that stood out was the bump left by the loss of her deciduous teeth and the inability to chew the pulp. Although Fengzhen didn't speak, her expression of enjoyment said it all.

"This melon is so sweet. Can I grow it?" Zhang Guifang caught the cantaloupe with her hands, for fear of accidentally dropping it.

"Mom, we can't do this. Even if we grow it, it won't be so sweet." The reason why cantaloupe is called cantaloupe is because it grows in Hami. Due to the large temperature difference between day and night, the fruits accumulate a lot of sugar, so they are extra sweet.

"What a pity." Zhang Guifang said regretfully.

"I'll ask someone to buy some from over there later." Seeing that the whole family liked the food, classmate Xiao Wang said.

"There is no train connection in Hami yet. It's too troublesome to transport the melons to Weiya Station by car and then transport them by rail. It's not worth it for a melon." Tang Zhitong knew that classmate Xiao Wang was well-intentioned and knew that she was there. There is a relationship, but to mobilize an army for a melon is not worth the gain, and relationships are not used in this way.

"That's just what I said. Is it worth asking someone for help?" After hearing what her son said, Zhang Guifang realized what was going on and also refused.

Classmate Xiao Wang smiled and said nothing more.

When he went to bed at night, classmate Xiao Wang took a bite on Tang Zhitong's arm, then stuck out his tongue and said, "It's so salty. My mother loves to eat it. What's wrong with me asking someone to buy some cantaloupe? You're still trying to make fun of me." ”

"Classmate Xiao Wang, you have to talk about the overall situation and understand the general situation. Let's not say whether they will agree or not. Even if they agree, this matter will not have a good impact on our mother. Do you think they are selling you face? Isn't it because of our mother? For the sake of face? "This child usually seems to be very smart, but he is too horny in trying to please his mother-in-law. Tang Zhitong rubbed Xiao Wang's head to see if there were any horns.

"If you are asked to take the overall situation into consideration, you are definitely not in the overall situation. How do you know that I am not selling my face? I was so favored at the time." Xiao Wang knew that what his husband said was reasonable, but he was still a little bit petty, and She crawled into her husband's arms.

"You are not aware of what you said, but you are my overall situation." Tang Zhitong tightened his arms, touched Xiao Wang's silky back, and comforted: "Today at Chief Fang's house, we talked about Hami. It's expected to be put into service by the end of the year. The superiors are considering which unit will escort it. If it is assigned to our department, I will take the opportunity to go over and buy you as much as you want. "

"I hate it! It's our mother who wants to eat it." Xiao Wang twisted his body and refused to admit that he wanted to eat it.

"Yes, yes, you are right. But, classmate Xiao Wang, you are playing with fire." The hot girl was twisting and turning in his arms. If Tang Zhitong didn't react at all, it would be so unmanly!

"No, no, the friendship was enhanced too much last night." Classmate Xiao Wang gently pushed Tang Zhitong, and moved away.

"Okay then, let's fight again tomorrow and go to sleep." Of course Tang Zhitong couldn't force her. Although she didn't say anything against the woman's wishes now, if she loves her deeply, she will naturally consider the other person.

"How about... please be gentler?" Xiao Wang asked softly, fearing that his man would be uncomfortable.

How about a new car? It doesn’t burn oil when you press the accelerator to the end...

October 1959, 10, the fourth day of the ninth lunar month, Monday.

Tang Zhitong dropped off Xiao Wang as usual and went to the College of Posts and Telecommunications. He hadn't seen him for more than ten days and missed those classmates.

Tang Zhitong followed classmate Xiao Wang's suggestion and started early today. He brought some pine nuts from home and went to the dormitory to share them.

Lu Jian's eyes lit up when he saw Songzi. Since everyone was in the dormitory, it was inconvenient for him to ask about the situation, but from Tang Zhitong's expression, he felt that it was very close.

After blowing on the water for a while, Wei Peisheng seemed to have a tacit understanding and pulled Lu Shi out of the dormitory and walked to the classroom.

Gu Mancang was obviously busy, so he waited procrastinatingly for Tang Zhitong. After everyone had gone out, he took Tang Zhitong's hand and said, "Teacher Tang, there is a letter from home. I received it. Thank you!"

"You're welcome, I didn't know until I got back. My colleague told you to tell your family. Have you told the big guys?" Wei Peisheng's roommate winked at Tang Zhitong before he left. Is there anything Tang Zhitong doesn't understand? I guess everyone knows about this. Got it all.

"Well, as I said, I thanked everyone." Gu Mancang was a little excited and wiped away his tears.

"Okay. Did you get home safely from the station? I was worried for a while, for fear of some accident on the road." Tang Zhitong patted Gu Mancang on the shoulder and asked.

People can do anything when they are hungry. Tang Zhitong once had the idea that things would develop in a very bad direction, but he stopped it abruptly and did not dare to think about it for fear of triggering Murphy's Law.

"Peace, my father was afraid that something would happen, so he took the whole family there with sickles and axes, and covered the car with hay. He didn't dare to let anyone see what was going on from the outside." Gu Mancang told Tang Zhitong what was said in the letter. .

"It's pretty safe. Wipe your tears quickly and let's go to class." Tang Zhitong was completely relieved and handed his handkerchief to Gu Mancang and said.

"No need." Gu Mancang was afraid of getting Tang Zhitong dirty, so he didn't pick it up. He wiped his tears with his sleeve, pinched his nose with his hand, blew his nose, then raised his foot and wiped it on the soles of his shoes skillfully.

"Okay, go wash your hands, let's go to class." One person has a living habit. Although Gu Mancang's behavior is a bad habit, Tang Zhitong did not directly ask him to improve.

Gu Mancang is not very old, but because he has worked hard since he was a child, he has grown a little anxious. Hearing Tang Zhitong's voiceover, his dark face turned dark red.

After arriving at the university, Gu Mancang was studying. Whether it was from the extracurricular books mentioned by Tang Zhitong or from the classmates around him, he knew that he had bad habits and was slowly changing them.

Take Blowing His Nose, for example. He also wanted to have a handkerchief, but his family conditions did not allow it. Now, with the help of his roommates, he was able to save some money from his scholarship and buy a handkerchief.

Arriving at the classroom, Tang Zhitong sat next to Lu Jian as usual.

"Teacher Tang, this is the homework for this time. Take a look at it first." The math teacher hasn't come yet, and many people in the class are chatting, so Lu Jian's words are not noticeable.

"Okay, thank you, principal." Tang Zhitong wanted to take Lu Jian's exercise book and look at the homework, but Lu Jian held it down and tapped at the bottom of the exercise book before letting go.

Tang Zhitong pulled over and took a look. There were two words where Lu Jian clicked: pine nuts.

Tang Zhitong raised his wrist and looked at the time. It looked like there were still five or six minutes before class, so he said, "Department Head, I suddenly feel like smoking. Can we go out and have one?"

"Okay, let's go." Lu Jian agreed immediately, got up and walked out first, showing his urgency.

The two of them left the classroom, walked further away, lit cigarettes, and Tang Zhitong lowered his voice and said: "Department Master, one hundred pounds is no problem, that's right. One thing surprised me. The pine nuts are raw and have a little moisture." , Gotta bask in the sun.”

"It'll be great if you get it, it'll be great if you get it. It doesn't matter if you weigh it or not." Lu Jian breathed a sigh of relief and had a smile on his face.

"How can I let you suffer a loss? If you want fresh food, it will definitely cost about ten kilograms more. You can take it back and dry it yourself." Tang Zhitong shook his head. This was caused by his own lack of consideration. Lu Jian cannot be allowed to bear this part of the loss.

"Okay, excuse me, Teacher Tang. When can I get it? I happen to have a friend who is going back and asked him to take it back for me." Lu Jian asked.

"I can do it at any time, let's see what the dormitory leader arranges." Tang Zhitong said cheerfully. Everything is in the space, it's just a sack.

"Is it okay tonight? My friend's train is at seven o'clock in the evening, and I just happened to go there to see him off." Lu Jian was a little embarrassed, and he was in a hurry.

"Okay, let's go after class. I'll take you directly to the station. It's not far from the station." Tang Zhitong thought about the time and could arrange it, but he couldn't pick up Xiao Wang when he got off work.

The two made an appointment and returned to the classroom with Lu Jian thanking him profusely.

In the short term, Tang Zhitong may suffer a little loss from these pine nuts, but over time, with the feeling of helping, Tang Zhitong may not necessarily suffer a loss.
