Space: 60's Survival

Wu Beijiang suppressed the fire in his heart and put on a smiley face: "Yes, there is indeed something wrong with this matter. I am glad that everyone can point out my shortcomings, and I will continue to improve." After he finished speaking, he returned to his seat.

Tong Yan really felt that Wu Beijiang was ill. At this time, everyone couldn't get enough to eat, so how could there be extra food to help others. Two days later, a proposal letter was posted on the school wall. The proponent was Wu Beijiang, or what he said in the classroom last time. He called on everyone to save a little bit a day, and save 2 catties of cornmeal per person per month. to deliver the food where it is most needed.

After that, the school also agreed, but revised the proposal to send it every month, requiring each person to hand in 2 catties of cornmeal before the end of December, and the school will send it all at that time.

After receiving the notice, some of the classmates' faces were not good. But dare not disagree! In addition to students donating food, teachers also donated.

For a time, everyone in the town knew it. The school also figured back the limelight.

On the second day of donating food, the students found that Luo Ximei had slap marks on her face. Three days later, when Wu Beijiang returned home at night, he was beaten and limped when he walked.

In the blink of an eye, it was time to take the exam again, Tong Yan was still calm, Ji Ning vowed to get into the top three in the exam, Li Fangfang and Wang Li were busy borrowing notes and doing exercises.

The last time Tong Yan applied clam oil to everyone, the hands of several girls recovered a lot, and the small box soon bottomed out. This time Tong Yan took out another box. Ji Ning was a little embarrassed to use it again, and returned the clam oil to Tong Yan: "My mother said, this small box will cost a few cents, it's too expensive, I No need." Tong Yan pushed it back again, pretending to be angry, "Aren't you supposed to be my friend? Use it, it's fine."

Li Fangfang looked at Tong Yan, then at Ji Ning, and took the clam oil He went over: "She doesn't need it, I use it, and Wang Li and I use it together." After speaking, she bumped Wang Li with her elbow, and Wang Li nodded with a smile.

Seeing the two "traitors", Ji Ning pinched their faces in anger. After laughing, Ji Ning said mysteriously, "Do you know why Wu Beijiang proposed to donate food?" Knowing this, Ji Ning said proudly, "I heard about it, it's for the outstanding students. You think, he proposed to donate food, and the credit is his, but he actually only donated 2 catties of cornmeal, but instead A good reputation is here, isn't it worth it?" Everyone suddenly realized.

Tong Yan's evaluation is "scheming man". Li Fangfang was a little indignant, and patted Tong Yan on the shoulder with a serious expression: "Tong Yan, I'll give you an honorable task, take the exam well this time, take the first place, and you can't let him be rated at anything. "Others also looked at Tong Yan expectantly. Tong Yan smiled without saying a word.

After the exam is over, Tong Yan's task of making up lessons is over. Finally got a good rest. Uncle Cao is going to get out of the car again, and this time he discussed with Tong Yan: "As the Chinese New Year is coming, this wine is the best seller, this time let's make a big one, how about it? I haven't done it for the time being, but I've been taking care of it recently, let's be careful." Originally, Uncle Cao didn't say it, but Tong Yan also had the same idea.

This time, Uncle Cao took 100 catties of wine and 20 catties of cured meat from Tong Yan. Uncle Cao laughed so hard that Tong Yan made a request to ask Uncle Cao to help get some medicines such as cold medicine and antipyretic medicine. If you have gold, you can also exchange some. Uncle Cao didn't expect Tong Yan's request. After thinking for a while, she asked, "How do you want to change?" Tong Yan hurriedly flattered: "Uncle Cao, you run around, you have a lot of knowledge, you can figure it out, anyway, I believe you, you won't let me suffer. Uncle Cao smiled and shook his head, "Now, you have learned to be eloquent. Okay, I mustn't let you down."

Tong Yan took stock of her existing income. During this time, she had already received one thousand yuan. The money should be enough to cover future expenses. There are not many barrels left in the space, and Tong Yan doesn't want to sell it any more, in case something happens later, it can be realized. Tong Yan wanted to take this opportunity to collect some good things, to preserve their value and to pass on the family.

A few days later, when she went back to school, Tong Yan learned that she had won the first place in the exam this time. Ji Ning excitedly pulled Tong Yan and asked her to treat her. In fact, Ji Ning also did well in the test—the third place was followed by Niu Xinsheng. At the same time, the list of outstanding students also came out, and Tong Yan was also rated. She got 3 pens, 3 books and 5 yuan. Tong Yan waved her hand: "Let's go, let's have a good meal later."

Tong Yan took them all the way through a few alleys and came to a small shop where a large pot was steaming, and a scent spread in the around. A few people only felt their stomachs growl. There were three tables in the shop. A few people found a seat and took a seat. Tong Yan asked them what they were eating, and gave an introduction: "This shop specializes in mutton, and it's delicious. , what do you want to eat?" A few girls looked at the price and were startled, Li Fangfang exaggerated to the point of pulling Tong Yan and was about to leave.

Tong Yan hurriedly comforted them, just eat, it's alright, she couldn't keep them here to wash dishes. A few people finally sat down honestly and chatted about what to eat? What Tong Yan didn't know was that there was also a compartment in this shop. There were three people sitting in it and they were eating. The voices of a few girls outside came in, and she heard Tong Yan say that she had left the words to wash the dishes. , one of the men smiled slightly.

Several people ordered a bunch of dishes, mutton soup, mutton dumplings, fried haggis, white-cut mutton, and vinegared cabbage. Fill the small table.

Tong Yan waved her hand arrogantly, "Let's eat." A bowl of mutton soup dissipated all the chills , and Tong Yan exclaimed, "It's delicious in this world!" They are all short of oil and water, and this one is really delicious. After a while, half of them were eliminated. Ji Ning swallowed the dumplings and said, "I also got a scholarship this time, and Tong Yan and I will pay for this meal together." Tong Yan cast her a glance: "Why, grab it with me, I've agreed to invite you, so it's a matter of words. If you want to invite guests, wait until you get the first place in the test." Ji Ning was about to jump again: "What do you mean! Look down on me." Li Fangfang also helped, and said solemnly: " If you want Ji Ning to take the first place in the exam, when you graduate and Niu Xinsheng also graduates, then Ji Ning will be able to take the first place in the exam." Everyone laughed so hard they couldn't stand up.

Ji Ning said angrily: "I don't want to be the first, as long as Wu Beijiang doesn't make the top three, I don't care." When it comes to Wu Beijiang, several people said it again. It turned out that Wu Beijiang took the fourth place in the exam this time, and he also got a reward - a notebook and a pen. There are scholarships for the top three, but not for the fourth.

Ji Ning gloated: "You didn't see how embarrassed Wu Beijiang's face was." Li Fangfang added: "He was also rated as an outstanding student, but he has won a certificate." Several people laughed again. Tong Yan brought a piece of mutton to Ji Ning: "Student Ji Ning has worked hard. If it weren't for Ji Ning, Wu Beijiang would be third. Come, come, come, make it up quickly." Ji Ning raised her head proudly, and said boldly: "Yes! You have to thank me. I have been in school for so many years, but I have never worked so hard." Everyone laughed again. The girl's silver bell-like laughter spread into the cubicle. Several people in the cubicle were originally here to talk, but these laughter swept away the food on the table, but said nothing.

Sitting in the cubicle was Lu Jinzhi and his two friends, Jiang Han and Liu Zhonghua. Jiang Han lowered his voice and asked, "Going back tomorrow? You should also go back. It's been a waste to stay here for more than half a year." Liu Zhonghua kicked Jiang Han quietly, turned his head and asked Lu Jinzhi, "This time I'm going back and I'm still out. Can you come?" Lu Jinzhi fiddled with the teacup in his hand, with a bit of indifference: "Of course, my dad supports me. Besides, I haven't made a name for myself, how can I go back."

"Of course I know your old family. The comrade is willing to let you out, but is your father-in-law willing? Is your daughter-in-law willing?" Lu Jinzhi held the cup in his hand for a while, with a faint smile on his face: "That's not my daughter-in-law." Jiang Han's face His smile froze, and from the look on Lu Jinzhi's face, he knew that he was unhappy, so he quickly accompanies a smiling face: "Yes, yes, yes, I said something wrong, you go back this time and plan to solve this matter. ?!" Lu Jinzhi put the cup down, stood up and greeted, "Let's go!"

Jiang Han was still a little confused, and when he saw both of them were gone, he went out. Lu Jinzhi paid for the meal, and when he walked to the door, he glanced at the group of four who were eating happily. When he saw Tong Yan, he remembered, isn't this the person he met in the town center school? Jiang Han also saw Tong Yan and the others, looked at the bowls and bowls on the table, and said in a low voice, "I can't tell, these guys have a good appetite!" Lu Jinzhi called him, "Let's go."

Tong Yan also saw Lu Jinzhi. A black woolen coat and a pair of black leather shoes showed the man's slender and tall figure. The appearance of the two people next to him also belonged to the upper-middle level. It seems that handsome men always appear in groups. Tong Yan called out, "Waiter, two more mutton buns."

When Jiang Han heard this, he almost stumbled and said, "This girl has such a good appetite, how many days have she not eaten? It's too meaty." He heard another sentence: "I want to take it with me." Jiang Han whispered again: "I can't see it, this guy is quite rich, so it's more than ten yuan for a meal like this."

Lu Jinzhi looked back again, and in the hazy mist, Tong Yan's delicate and white face looked like a dream, and her crisp voice was like the call of an oriole, which was pleasant to the ears. Suddenly, a sentence flashed in Lu Jinzhi's mind, "There is a beautiful person, and there is a clear and graceful person."

When he walked out of the alley and there was no one left or right, Liu Zhonghua whispered to Lu Jinzhi, "You better pay attention to that house, since their old man left. After that, things became more and more unreliable, if you can stop it, stop it!" Lu Jinzhi didn't say anything, as if he didn't hear it.

Liu Zhonghua sighed silently. At that time, the relationship between the two families was good. The helms of the two families were still alive. Seeing that the children got along well together, they naturally liked it, so they decided on Lu Jinzhi's marriage. Who knew that the two old men passed away one after another. , the two are drifting apart. Otherwise, the marriage could not have been delayed until now. Now Lu Jinzhi is in his twenties, and that girl is in her early twenties, but everyone keeps silent, not talking about getting married or not getting married, this is nothing!

After the meal, Tong Yan paid the money, took the packaged mutton buns, said goodbye to the three, and went to school. In the office, Principal Qian was busy sorting out information, and was surprised to see Tong Yan coming.

Poured a glass of water for Tong Yan, Tong Yan thanked her, took out five yuan from her pocket and put it on the table. "Principal Qian, this is the scholarship I got. I think when the next semester starts, some students may drop out because they can't pay the tuition fees. I hope I can contribute."

Tong Yan's words surprised Principal Qian even more. Principal Qian picked up the money, touched it, and then looked at Tong Yan with a full of approval: "Okay, I won't say anything polite. In fact, I have heard some students report that some students may drop out of school these days. , I thank you on behalf of these students." Tong Yan thought for a while and added, "I have a request." Principal Qian was taken aback for a moment, and motioned for Tong Yan to continue. "I hope this money will be used for the students in the junior high school." Principal Qian smiled: "It's not a big deal, it's ok. I'll give you a receipt." After taking the receipt, Tong Yan was about to leave and picked up The bag of mutton buns was handed to Principal Qian: "In order to celebrate my achievement as an outstanding student, I invite you to eat, so please don't be polite to me." Principal Qian took the slightly hot package of buns and looked at Tong Yanli Going back, smiled and shook his head.

After the holiday, the most worth looking forward to is the Chinese New Year. This is Tong Yan's first New Year here. Unfortunately, most of the people in the yard have left. Tong Yan estimates that she will have a lonely New Year.

Tong Yanxu was used to such a life, so she didn't feel particularly sad. She took out a lot of things from the space, two catties of meat, a packet of sugar, and a large packet of rice noodles. Wrap it in furoshiki and send it to Mrs. Tian. Sister-in-law Tian looked at these things and wanted to reject it, but Tong Yan only said that it was for Xiaodouzi, but Sister-in-law Tian had to accept it, but kept telling Tong Yan to be very careful when she lived alone. Tong Yan told her that in the New Year, she would go to pay New Year's greetings to acquaintances in the town, and she would not be alone.

Sister-in-law Tian was relieved. Xiaodouzi was amused: "Sister, I will come back to see you soon, I will miss you." Tong Yan coaxed straightly. Grabbed a handful of toffee from his pocket and gave it to him: "Here, the white rabbit," Xiaodouzi smiled happily.

Two days later, Uncle Cao came back, although he was in a good mood. He brought 500 yuan to Tong Yan, three small yellow croakers and a wooden box. When he opened the wooden box, there were some jade jewelry scattered around. The biggest one was a pair of bracelets, and the rest were earrings, rings, etc. Yes, there are a dozen or so. Tong Yan didn't expect so many. Uncle Cao explained: "Gold bars are still worth a little bit of money, and these jewelry are worthless, and I'm afraid I'll lose money." Tong Yan was very happy, holding onto the jewelry box and didn't let go: " Uncle Cao, I like these things, and it's good to be able to exchange them." Uncle Cao laughed at her: "After all, she is a little girl, she just likes these things. In fact, these things, if you don't eat or wear them, are the most boring. " In the

evening, Tong Yan entered the space, was a little excited and couldn't sleep for a while, and took out the jewelry box and looked at it carefully. The jewelry box had a faint wood scent, and Tong Yan couldn't tell what wood was there, she just thought it smelled good. Looking at this trace, it should have been carrying a lock, but unfortunately the lock is gone. She took out the jewelry in the same way, and the delicate touch made Tong Yan even a layman know that it was a good item. Tong Yan secretly wanted to have the opportunity to collect more.

Lu Jinzhi is also sleepless with Tong Yan tonight. Driving all the way, Lu Jinzhi returned to his home in City B in the early hours of the morning. Lu Jinzhi's father, Lu Xinian, and his mother, Zhang Qiao, haven't slept yet. Lu Xi was wearing a military uniform, although he was in his fifties, he was still in good spirits. Zhang Qiao was a woman in her forties, not tall. Seeing her youngest son coming back, her eyes were gentle.

Lu Jinzhi took his mother's hand and complained, "You haven't slept all night? Didn't I tell you not to wait for me." "I've slept, just woke up, I'll ask Zhang's mother to make you something to eat, little one. , what do you eat?" Lu Jinyi heard his mother calling him by his nickname again, and couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed: "I'm so old, you still call me by my nickname, you can eat whatever you want." Zhang Qiao said angrily: "Those who are not married are all Child, what's so embarrassing about calling the child by a nickname." When it came to marriage, Lu Jin was stunned, but didn't say anything.

After the family had breakfast, Lu Xinian called the whole family to the study and asked Lu Jinzhi straight to the point: "What are you going to do about your business?" Lu Jinzhi rubbed his brows. Embarrassing question, he still had some headaches. After thinking about it, Lu Jinzhi still said, "I want to talk to her again. If it doesn't work out this time, I'll just retire."

Zhang Qiao endured for a long time, but couldn't help it: "Xiao Yao, if you like her, we will make one more step." Lu Xinian interrupted his wife directly: "How do you make a step and transfer Xiao Yao back to City B?"

Lu Jinzhi quickly explained: "Mom, I didn't say I like her. To be honest, I can't talk about whether I like her or not. I think she should be the same to me. One is that the relationship between the two families was good. The second is the matter decided by grandfather, and the third is that we get along fairly well."

Zhang Qiao was very dissatisfied: "What's the point of getting along well? I just saw that you didn't look like a partner. Look, you are in J She went to work in the province, and she ran around with the art troupe. For your job in J province, they were dissatisfied inside and out. You have been in J province for several months, and she has written you a few letters. Letter, how many times have you sent something?" The more Zhang Qiao thought about it, the more the fire grew, and she secretly complained that the old man was blind and ordered such a family for his son. Looking at his son's increasingly mature face, Lu Xinian said plainly, "I don't care how you get along with me. It's up to you if you're good, but if you're not good, make an early decision. Men are the most taboo in doing things." After hearing this, Lu Jinzhi, With a move in his heart, he looked at his father's still shining eyes, and nodded vigorously.
