Hu Zhiyuan, like Fu Jingyou, had never heard of snow clams at all.
Lu Miao handed him the oil paper bag and told him how to peel it, how to soak it, and how to eat it.
Hu Zhiyuan held the oil paper bag and touched his head:
“I don’t know whether this dried toad is really nourishing or not. Just listening to what you said, I know that it will definitely be made. Nourish people.”
It’s both brown sugar and red dates. It takes so much effort to not nourish people.
Lu Miao listened to his bossy speech and knew that he didn't know the goods, so he was speechless and wanted to take back the oil paper bag.
Hu Zhiyuan turned aside to avoid it.
"Okay Comrade Xiaobao, I have received your kindness. You can't take back the things you gave me!"
Lu Miao said: "Anyway, you I don’t know the goods either.”
Hu Zhiyuan laughed happily.
The business was almost done. Hu Zhiyuan nodded to Fu Jingyou while carrying his things, and then pushed his bicycle away.
In the kitchen, Lu Miao took out the dishes and chopsticks from the cupboard and handed them to Fu Jingyou.
Fu Jingyou opened the small table and served the rice while asking him:
"Why didn't you let me talk just now?"
Hu Zhiyuan was here just now, Fu Jingyou wanted to When he was about to ask about things in the county, Lu Miao gave him a look and he didn't move.
"I've already said it, what else do you want to say?"
Lu Miao took the rice and looked at him angrily.
Fu Jingyou was slightly startled, "Have you finished talking?"
"Yes."
Lu Miao nodded and gave a general outline of the situation, but cleverly avoided it. I didn’t say that I drove to “Jinmen”.
Although Hu Zhiyuan can help with the operation, it is still unclear whether Fu Jingyou will be selected in the end.
It’s too early to say that now.
"Hu Zhiyuan said that someone should take you to the county in the next two days. Then you should behave normally and don't have stage fright."
Lu Miao gave Fu Jingyou a chopstick of green vegetables.
“Do your best and leave the rest to fate. It doesn’t matter if you really can’t choose.”
Fu Jingyou lowered his eyebrows, straightened the corners of his lips slightly, and nodded inaudibly.
He wanted to win it.
That way, not only can life be guaranteed, but Lu Miao's face will also be bright.
……
As Hu Zhiyuan said, someone will take them to the county soon.
Two days later, the brigade leader Bai Yang came to the brigade and told the young men participating in Dahe Village to gather at the brigade early the next morning. At that time, several young men from the production brigade would go to the county together.
As soon as Bai Yang left, Chen Guifen and He Hongjin came to the house one after another.
The two kept urging Fu Jingyou, emphasizing that the opportunity was rare and it was a way out, so he must seize it.
Fu Jingyou said a few words at the beginning, but then he just nodded "Yeah" and said nothing else.
“It’s not something that can be grasped with certainty, shouldn’t it depend on the wishes of the county leaders?”
Lu Miao was a little unhappy when he saw it, frowned and stopped him:
"Uncle, aunt, please stop talking about this. He is under pressure and can't maintain his condition."
He Hongjin and Chen Guifen They looked at each other and said nothing.
Lu Miao knew that they were doing it for Fu Jingyou's good, but this kind of thing could not change in the direction they expected just by applying pressure.
“It’s better if you can be selected. It doesn’t matter if you can’t be selected. There are many ways for people in this life. We are still young. What should we be afraid of?”
Lu Miao took Fu Jingyou's arm and comforted him:
"Don't be too stressed. No matter what the result is, you are the best in my heart." Fu Jingyou curved his lips, his deep peach blossom eyes sparkling. A smile.
After a slight "hmm", his rough fingers gently pinched Lu Miao's cheek.
Seeing the tenderness of the young couple who did not shy away from outsiders, He Hongjin and his wife felt as if they were ashamed.
He immediately said nothing, waved his hands and said, "You guys should be busy," and then they both returned home.
At night, Lu Miao took five yuan, food stamps, and some expiring coupons to Fu Jingyou alone and handed them to him.
Tell him to buy things tomorrow and eat well.
Fu Jingyou nodded and said he knew. He would inevitably feel tired of holding her while sleeping.
The next day, several young men from the production team gathered together and walked all the way to the county. It was almost noon.
The gathering place was completely dark, with no less than 200 people present.
Among the more than 200 people, there are only four places, so the competition is extremely fierce.
When he came, Fu Jingyou thought that only the requirements he had heard about before were revealed. Only when the selection process actually started did he realize that there were more details.
For example, it requires excellent physical fitness.
Those who are too short will not do it, those who are too thin will not do it, and those who are disabled will not do it even more.
With just these few items, more than half of the people who came to compete were screened out.
The people in the village have been doing farm work for many years, and their health is not bad. They are not too tall, but they are not too short.
A small number of people occupy the "disabled" category, and more of them are eliminated because of their thinness.
Some people are unconvinced, saying that it is normal to be thin because they don’t have enough food, but their brains are still functioning and they can still learn, so why can’t they participate?
The leader gave a positive reply, indicating that he had to study abroad.
During the study period, Dachang only provides accommodation, and other expenses need to be taken care of by the individual. If you are willing, you can also participate.
The spokesperson’s point of view is correct and his thoughts are normal.
But being too “thin” can also cause many problems.
Since it is a strong labor force, it means that the work must be good.
Despite being able to get high work points, the body is still so thin, which can only mean that the family is poor and the population is large, and it is difficult to make ends meet.
Sure enough, as soon as the county leader's words came out, those who had been aggrieved fell silent.
Some people who were not eliminated originally also took the initiative to withdraw after weighing the situation.
No one wants to change the status quo, and vaguely understands the principle of investing first and reaping later.
But to invest, you have to have the capital to invest...
Fu Jingyou was already tall. Before he was married, Lu Miao led him to eat meat and fine grains.
Let alone after getting married.
A lot of meat and soup were stewed for Lu Miao. Lu Miao refused to eat or drink, or only ate and drank a little bit. In the end, almost all of it went into his stomach in disguise. You can imagine how strong his physique is. .
The number of people running for election has been decreasing again and again, and Fu Jingyou is among them, particularly conspicuous.
Soon came the final round: reading the newspaper.
This is even more of a mistake and it hits Fu Jingyou’s strengths.
He had never read newspapers before, but after being urged to study by Lu Miao, he gradually became fascinated by the external content in newspapers.
Compared with others, he is not good at reading newspapers. He is really not afraid of competing with others.
Before, the newspapers I read at home were from several months ago, or even from several years ago. However, the newspapers given by the county this time were from recent days.
Fu Jingyou was curious when he took it into his hand. After quickly browsing the information content, he followed the leader's prompts and selected a paragraph to read.
After he finished reading, he passed the newspaper to the next person.
