Traditional Chinese Medicine: Back to the years when educated youths went to the countryside

Chapter 327 That day finally came

"Eat and eat!"

Fortunately, Li Yuzhu patted his sleeves and walked out of the kitchen, commanding without saying anything:

"Xiao Zhi, bring a bowl and eat."

"We arrived just in time. You don't have to go back and go to the trouble. Just eat at home."

"Hongying, please help clear the dining table. Let's eat together. It's fun."

The two girls then stood up with sweet smiles and started busy.

The family just sat in the yard, under the moon and the bright yellow firelight at the kitchen door, drinking and eating happily.

After all, everyone has been tired for a day and is already hungry. Apart from eating, they can no longer think of anything else.Even Luan Hongying and Xu Xiaozhi were much calmer, one was well-behaved, the other was cold, their red lips were moving, and their chopsticks were not much slower than others.

After a while, seeing that the atmosphere was finally more harmonious, Wang Chengzhou picked up a pair of chopsticks and boiled the plantains, stuffed it into his mouth, and said vaguely: "Xiao Zhi, the day after tomorrow is the [-]th day of the lunar calendar, you come with me." The commune has a big meeting, and we are going to set up a stall to sell medicine." Then, he added, "Hongying gets off work at noon, so you can come over and greet us. With a little policeman like you here, our business will definitely be good. It can be a lot more popular.”

However, in the past, he only treated people, and this was his first time selling such weird health products. He added a little guiltily, "Try to open a business!"

After hearing his words, Xu Xiaozhi and Luan Hongying's beautiful eyes flashed with brilliance, and they finally couldn't help but laugh out loud.

A man nodded obediently and said warmly:
"Smart Soup is a recipe you found out from an ancient book, and the medicinal ingredients are all real. We dug them out of the mountains with our own hands. Coupled with your reputation, we will definitely be able to open it."

"It's just that for a product to be sold, there must be demand in the market. But now is the busy time of farming, and everyone is so tired every day that their backs and backs hurt. I guess the market won't be too busy, right?"

"However, since you have this idea, let's just go ahead and understand the market conditions."

Obviously, Xu Xiaozhi spoke very tactfully, but in her heart she was not very optimistic about Wang Chengzhou's idea.I just saw that he was in such high spirits and couldn't bear to let him down.

The other one was more direct. He just glanced at him and responded: "Okay..."

Then she continued to eat with her head down, as if whether to make money or not, whether she could sell it or not, was never a consideration for her.She didn't understand those things, she just wanted to stay with him as always.

The family watched the three of them discussing things, but hesitated to speak.

Wang Caiyun's face was full of curiosity, and he chuckled: "Chengzhou, smart soup? Is this another strange thing you tinkered with? Why does the name sound so funny?"

Wang Chengzhou quickly explained it to his future sister-in-law with a smile, and said with a smile:

"Actually, this thing doesn't really make people smarter, it just calms the mind and replenishes energy."

"You also know that there are so many educated youths in our commune who go to the countryside. They often study and study while working. There will be times when they are low on energy. In that case, wouldn't this thing come in handy?"

"We can make a lot of money through this, and we can live a more comfortable life in the winter."

Wang Caiyun's eyes flashed, knowing that his last words were for her, and she couldn't help but feel warm in her heart.

But he still said seriously:

"Chengzhou, educated youths are also human beings. Except when they first went to the countryside, they were so fresh that they could persist in studying for a period of time. However, after half a year of hard work, many of them have lost their ambition. How many of them really keep studying every day? "

"If you don't believe it, you can ask Xiaozhi."

"I'm not saying this to back off. I'm afraid that your work will be in vain, so I want you to be mentally prepared in advance."

After hearing her words, Xu Xiaozhi was indeed a little silent, nodded, and said with a slight smile:

"Sister Caiyun is right."

"Don't talk about others, even I was looking forward to returning to the city to work earlier. I had some thoughts in my heart, so I lit up the lamp and stayed up late every day to read. But after more than half a year of suffering, if it weren't for Wang Xiucai's encouragement, even I would have I have no energy left, let alone other people.”

"Smart soup is a good thing, but when everyone is becoming numb, its sales volume will definitely not be very large. However, again, it doesn't hurt to try it. In business, there is always a bit of trial and error. cost."

This young educated girl spoke calmly, her words full of tenderness, but she could not hide her inner loneliness.

After all, a city dweller and a young lady with good living conditions spend their youth in this poor mountain valley without ever seeing a bright future. Yan Yan is already a mentally strong person if she can still laugh every day. .

As for those intellectuals who have no worries and are immersed in heavy farm work all day long, if they had a higher character, they would probably be tortured into zombies long ago.

Otherwise, not so many educated youth would finally accept their fate and choose to marry or marry a rural person.

You must know that the social concepts at that time were very conservative, and there was always an insurmountable gap between rural household registration and urban household registration.

At least this is the case when it comes to marriage between men and women.

Listening to their analysis, the whole family was somewhat silent.It's not that he won't make money, it's that he will be hit.After all, selling smart soup... is a bit whimsical no matter how you think about it, right?
"Haha, Xiaozhi, I never worry about sales." Wang Chengzhou smiled casually, blinked his eyes, and said with great interest:

"It's just that I'm a bit of an amateur at setting up stalls, bargaining, and soliciting people... Of course, there's also the settling of accounts, which is too troublesome!"

"You have always been sensitive to these things, so I'll hire you to help me."

"Don't worry, when we make a lot of money, I'll buy you candy!"

The whole family curled their lips when they heard this, and couldn't help but glance over.

Luan Hongying seemed to turn a deaf ear and calmly picked up a cup of tea and took a sip with an expressionless expression.

"Okay."

Xu Xiaozhi pursed her lips and smiled, then said something perfunctory.There is no difference in the tenderness of women, but he just thinks he is being childish.However, after he finished speaking, his heart moved slightly, and he couldn't help but think of what he had said to himself before.

A great change is coming.

But, what kind of change can make the half-dead educated youths sent to the countryside come back to life, and even go crazy enough to buy some smart soup to replenish their brains?

I'm afraid someone who has no brains would do such a stupid thing...

In the evening, return to your home.

After listening to Xu Xiaozhi's description, Yu Hua lay straight on the bed and sneered. He didn't even bother to raise his head, let alone discuss such an irrelevant matter with her.He just pointed to the yard next door, which was the home of three male educated youth comrades, Zhao Yu, Diao Qingsong and Xu Wannian.

A few months ago, at this time every night, these energetic guys would make their own chessboards, carve chess pieces out of wooden lumps, and play chess half the night.

But today, there was no sound, as quiet as a tomb.

After digging all day, they have to put on the reins and pull the columbine early tomorrow morning. They are so tired that they are too lazy to move their fingers, and they still light up the lamp and stay up all night to study!
If you have some spare money, wouldn't it be delicious to buy a few eggs to replenish your body?

This Wang Xiucai always does some whimsical things!

Surrounded by the thick darkness of night, the village, which had been busy for a day, soon fell into a deep sleep.And at the fifth watch of the rooster's crow, I suddenly woke up, and rows of commune members were like ants coming out of their holes, winding towards the farmland.

Growing wheat requires the use of a farm tool called a columbine, which is very similar to the one-legged tool used to sow peanuts today.However, its production is much more complicated. It is all made of fine wood and then spliced ​​together with a falcon structure.It looks like a Sheng magnified countless times.

There are three teeth on the bottom, half like a plow and half like a rake.Therefore, it is very heavy to pull up, and you usually have to put an old scalper on it.

But the plowing cattle in the brigade are too valuable. If you want to rely entirely on them to till the wheat, it will definitely delay the farming time.So, everyone showed their subjective initiative. Three or two young men put on the reins together, acted as the old scalpers, and pulled the columbine.

One is a technical job, and the other is a physical job, which cannot be done by those who are not strong and strong.

In this case, lesbians naturally have to step aside.

After all, Xu Xiaozhi was almost kicked to death by an ox while holding a plow, but no one dared to let these aunts try again.

However, lesbians will certainly not be idle.

After the wheat grows, it must be licked with something like a large mop in order to preserve moisture.And that thing is usually made of piles of dead branches tied together, clamped with wooden sticks, and dragged in the ground.

In fact, it's not much easier than pulling a cog...

The guys laughed at each other, put the rope on their shoulders, and worked hard in the yellow soil.Fortunately, I was born in a rural area. I have no ambitions in my heart, but I can still comfort myself with the pastoral life of singing at sunrise and sunset.

A group of educated youths felt much more miserable.

The skin on the shoulders of Zhao Yu, Diao Qingsong and Xu Wannian was too tender and had not yet developed calluses. They were a little overwhelmed and could only use their elbows to hold the reins and move forward hard.He was so tired that he leaned forward, his head drooped, and beads of sweat rolled down his dusty cheeks.

I had long forgotten that I was a scholar. In a daze, I just felt like an old scalper who had just been reincarnated, breathing heavily and walking blindly.

At this moment, a figure suddenly ran over from the path in the distance. I don't know if he was too excited. He staggered and almost fell down several times.But he always held a newspaper in his hand, as if it were a flag, rattling in the wind, but never put it down.

"Good news, good news!"

Chen Weihong choked on the sand, but ignored it and shouted: ""Performing university enrollment well is the hope of the people of the whole country" "Performing college enrollment well is the hope of the people of the whole country" "Performing college enrollment well is the hope of the people of the whole country"! "

The man repeated this three times in a row, came closer like a fool, unfolded the newspaper in his hand, and shook it loudly, as if he was afraid that others would not hear.

Everyone stopped what they were doing and turned to look over one by one, their faces full of confusion.
