Zhao Guoliang was very fast and led Liu Zhi to her new vegetable patch the next day.
Zhao Guoliang was not lying. The area of this land was indeed much larger than the one occupied by Aunt Wang, and it was also close to the river. Although it was inconvenient to be a little far from home, overall, Liu Zhi was very satisfied.
Liu Zhi thanked her very gratefully, and Zhao Guoliang waved his hand, "It should be."
Liu Zhi asked again, "Captain, do you know that anyone in our team studied music or worked in an art troupe?"
Zhao Guoliang raised his head and thought carefully, then shook his head, "I've never heard of this. With your conditions like ours, how can you have any spare money to study music? How can you go to a cultural troupe to compete with those city dwellers who have been practicing boy skills since they were young? .”
Liu Zhi sighed. This was indeed a very realistic question. She probably had to go to the county town to ask someone.
Zhao Guoliang added, "I remember that there was an elderly mother-in-law in the Chilan Brigade. She was an opera singer before liberation, and her master's master was a famous actor! Singing and opera are all the same, you can ask her."
After saying that, Zhao Guoliang noticed something was wrong again and looked at Liu Zhi, "What are you planning again? You have to be more careful about this kind of thing. If you don't grasp the sense of proportion and get slapped, I really can't help you. ”
Liu Zhi waved her hand, "Captain, don't worry. If I don't let go of such a good life and die, then I'm not a 250-year-old! I have a sense of propriety!"
Also, from these several contacts with Liu Zhi, Zhao Guoliang felt that this lesbian was really thoughtful and flexible in her approach to things. He didn't have to worry about this aspect, so he just went back to work in his own fields. Went.
Liu Zhi planned to take care of her own vegetable plot first. Thanks to this era, she was not worried that she would not be able to feed the vegetables. After all, she was a farmer with hundreds of work points these days, and she still had some basic knowledge. .
This piece of land had not been taken care of all year round, and the soil was solid and hard. It took Liu Zhi a long time to cultivate a plot of land. She sat on the ground and sighed, praying that it would be opened soon so that she could take her mother to the city to be cool.
When clearing the second plot, Liu Zhi's sweat dripped continuously into the ground like ice cubes melting. She felt that all the strength in her body had been drained.
"Need help?" Zhong Qi's voice suddenly sounded from behind.
For a moment, Liu Zhi wanted to curse, this Zhong Qi was really haunted! But reason kept her calm.
Before the rejection was uttered, Zhong Qi continued, with a trace of sadness in his brows, "I'm leaving soon, I got the indicator to return to the city."
Liu Zhi was surprised. In her memory, Zhong Qi was among the last group of educated youth to return to the city. Because his family had many children and he was the one who was least valued, there was no quota for him at all.
"Congratulations! When are you leaving?" Liu Zhi suppressed her doubts and sincerely congratulated him. Although she was a little regretful that she couldn't get the painting, the four paintings she had at home were enough to pass on.
"I discussed it with the captain and decided to work until the end of this month."
It's only two weeks until the end of the month, which is really fast.
"Great! Has the organization finally seen your talent? You can start your creations as much as you want in the future! Believe me, gold will always shine! Your light will definitely be discovered by everyone!" On the eve of parting, Liu Zhi did not hesitate to say good things.
Zhong Qi scratched his head, "No, it was Comrade He Xiuyuan who recommended me to me and his relatives who work in a certain ministry. If it weren't for him, maybe I would have spent my whole life building rural areas."
How far? Liu Zhi wondered, when did this person become so enthusiastic? Are you so indifferent to her alone?
"Then he has to leave too?"
Zhong Qi shook his head, "That's not true. Zhong Qi's relative had a vacant magazine painting position. He said he was not suitable, so he recommended me. He himself had to wait for another opportunity."
Do you still have such awareness? Liu Zhi raised her eyebrows, He Xiuyuan was really hard to read.
"He Zhiqing is such a good person." Liu Zhi said casually.
"Yes! I will never forget this kindness. From now on, you and He Zhiqing will be my sweethearts, and I will never forget you!" Zhong Qi was very excited, and his eyes turned red.
"Everywhere, I can't afford it. It's all because of your own strength." Liu Zhi was polite and modest.
While talking, Zhong Qi had already walked into the field to help someone clear the fields. Liu Zhi hesitated to speak, but in the end he was overcome by his lazy nature. Forget it, Zhong Qi is leaving soon anyway, if anyone wants to gossip, let them do it.
With the help of Zhong Qi, the speed of reclamation has doubled. The entire land can be completed before the sun sets. Liu Zhi plans to go to the mountain to cut some thin bamboos to make a fence to prevent them from being stepped on by unsuspecting people.
"Zhong Zhiqing, thank you so much today!"
Zhong Qi didn't say anything. He took out a piece of paper from his chest pocket and handed it to Liu Zhi, "This is my mailing address. If you are free in the future, you can write to me and I will definitely reply!"
Liu Zhi smiled and nodded, "Okay. However, my cultural level is not high, so it is a bit difficult for me to write letters."
Zhong Qi's eyes dimmed a lot immediately. He really didn't even think about it and asked Comrade Liu Zhi to write to him. He always only thought about himself and never considered Comrade Liu Zhi's feelings. People like him don't deserve to like Comrade Liu Zhi! "Well, forget it then." Zhong Qi smiled.
On the way home, Liu Zhi felt a little guilty. Perhaps she was overly courteous in order to get Zhong Qi's paintings. He was such a simple and easy-to-understand character, so it was not surprising that he misunderstood her.
When she got home, Liu Zhi took a look at the mountain branch tree at the door. It was still growing, and the wilted flowers seemed to be getting better. It seemed that the transplant was successful, so Liu Zhi quickly transplanted the few flowers. All guilt was forgotten.
Aunt Wang was already at home, sitting on the stone at the door with a large bowl of porridge and snoring. When she saw Liu Zhi, she snorted from her nose and stared at her viciously.
Liu Zhi ignored her and walked straight into the house. When she was about to pass Aunt Wang, she suddenly jumped and quickly hid back home. Aunt Wang's curse was heard outside the door, "What are you doing? You want to scare her to death." Am I an old woman?”
The more she thought about it, the more funny she felt. Liu Zhi leaned against the door and laughed.
It's just strange that Yuan Shanmei didn't come out as quickly as in the past today. What is the little girl doing?
The room was very quiet, except for the intermittent singing coming from the little girl's room. Liu Zhi was curious, so she tiptoed over and looked inside through the crack in the door.
I saw an enamel dish basin on Yuan Shanmei's head, which fit her head just right. A black leather belt from Liu Zhi was buckled around her waist. However, because she was small, the innermost buckle of the belt was still too loose. She had to tie it up with a piece of wool to keep the belt from falling off. She imitated the appearance of the People's Liberation Army in her imagination, saluting with her right hand, and walking in a serious step with both legs.
"I am a soldier, from the common people. I defeated the Japanese dog bandits and eliminated the Chiang Kai-shek army!"
The clear voice seemed even more precious against the backdrop of the funny outfit. Liu Zhi burst into laughter. Her mother really liked singing! She guessed that if she went in so suddenly, the little girl would shyly hide under the quilt, so she quietly retreated to the door and shouted, "Shanmei, I'm back!"
A sound of hurried tidying up quickly came from Yuan Shanmei's room. Liu Zhi knew that she was hurriedly tidying up herself without looking. She deliberately slowed down and walked into the room, and finally saw the little girl running out in a hurry.
Her hair was a little messy because she didn't have time to fix it. It had been stuck in the vegetable basin for too long and got wet. Her cheeks were red due to nervousness and intense running, but she still came forward happily, "Aunt Liu Zhi, you're back. ! ”
Liu Zhi pretended not to know and touched Yuan Shanmei's little head, "What are you doing in the house? Why is your head so wet?"
Yuan Shanmei stuck out her tongue and said, "I didn't do anything, I just ran away."
Liu Zhi didn't intend to expose her, so she patted her shoulder, "Then you go and play, I'll cook dinner for you."
"I'm here to help!" Yuan Shanmei raised her hand to sign up.
"Okay! Then you can dig out the pumpkin with me." Liu Zhi cut open a pumpkin, and together with Yuan Shanmei, they took out all the seeds inside and put them into a bamboo basket.
Liu Zhi filled a basin of water and placed it in front of Yuan Shanmei, "You will pick out the pumpkin seeds and wash them with water later. Do you understand?"
Yuan Shanmei nodded, "Don't worry! I promise to complete the task."
Liu Zhi smiled, and the little girl also started to joke.
Liu Zhi went to Mrs. Zhang's house next door and borrowed her plane to grate the pumpkin into shreds. The pumpkin was very hard, and Liu Zhi almost had shreds of meat several times, so she had to work slowly and carefully. Finally, when everything was planed, Liu Zhi added salt, eggs and flour to it, and spread it evenly with her hands.
"Shanmei, wash this plane and give it back to your neighbor, Mrs. Wu." Liu Zhi said again.
Yuan Shanmei hadn't finished picking out the pumpkin seeds, so she had to wash her hands and stand up, wash the plane carefully and run outside. She felt so busy, but also very happy, walking back and forth like a little bird.
When Yuan Shanmei came back, Liu Zhi's pumpkin cake had already started to be fried. The pumpkin and batter gave off a burst of fragrance as soon as they were cooked. Yuan Shanmei couldn't help but approach the stove and asked, "Aunt Liu Zhi, what is this?"
< br>
"The pumpkin pie will be fried in a moment. Can I give you the first one to try?"
"Okay, okay!" Yuan Shanmei swallowed, looking forward to the first pumpkin pie coming out of the pan.
After all, none of her neighbors were fuel-efficient lamps. When Liu Zhi was cooking, she would close the doors and windows to slowly disperse the smell, and then open them again when the smell was no longer so strong. By this method, she ate several meals of meat, and she didn't seem to be bothered by those few meals. An aunt found out.
The first piece of pumpkin cake was fried, Liu Zhi took it out and put it in a bowl, "Here, you can try how it tastes."
Yuan Shanmei took a small bite. The pumpkin cake was still very hot, so she could only taste it a little bit. "It's delicious, very delicious!" The little girl stretched out her thumb and licked her lips with great enjoyment.
It's just a bit salty. But in order not to make Aunt Liu Zhi sad, she'd better not say anything!
