They in the 70s

Getting angry, Lu Zhansheng walked over in two or three steps, stood in front of He Zhi, stopped his gaze from looking at Wu Qingqing, then stared at him with big angry eyes, and cursed fiercely: "Traitor!"

"... "

He Zhi looked a little helpless at the time.

"What did you say yesterday!" Lu Zhansheng continued to stare at him and said angrily, "Didn't you say you have no objection? Didn't you say that you don't participate?"

"I didn't participate." He Zhi said, "I didn't influence what you did."

"Don't open your eyes and talk nonsense!"

Lu Zhansheng glanced at Wu Qingqing and her sheep, then turned around and asked, "Didn't you tell me the secret?"

"... "

He Zhi sighed helplessly. "You didn't intend to really eat it."

"That's our business!"

Lu Zhansheng yelled straight away: "If you say you won't participate, you should hide in the house! Just shut up and don't say anything!"

He Zhi frowned upon hearing this, but didn't speak.

"It's good for you. You didn't show up before. At the critical moment, you got stuck and acted as a hero for others. When you're done, you send people home in a f*cking way, and you can tell me the f*cking thing for you! He Zhi , Why didn't I see before that you have so many thoughts!"

He Zhi sighed again, then turned his eyes away and closed his mouth, as if he didn't want to talk to him anymore.

This Lu Zhan couldn't bear it anymore, he never saw He Zhi showing such an expression to him, the anger in his heart rose slowly when he saw it, and he reached out and grabbed He Zhi's arm and pulled him in front of him. .

This action directly startled Zheng Yan and Song Jian, they both thought that Lu Zhansheng was going to attack He Zhi again like yesterday.

"Student Lu Zhan! What are you doing?"

Zheng Yan immediately walked over and pulled Lu Zhansheng's hand away, then pulled He Zhi aside, and reprimanded Lu Zhansheng: "What's going on with you recently, why do you want to get started every now and then?"

Lu Zhansheng was stunned when he was reprimanded, he said yes, no matter how angry he was before, he never touched He Zhi, but now for some reason, he can't control himself when he gets angry, and he always feels that after getting angry , the anger was thousands of times more turbulent than before.

He Zhi staggered after being pulled away, his gaze stayed on Lu Zhansheng's face, frowning for a long time before moving away.

"How do you plan to solve this matter in the end?" He Zhi asked, "What kind of result do you want to get before you give up?"

After hearing this, both Zheng Yan and Song Jian pretended to glance casually at Wu Qingqing who was holding the lamb beside him, and neither of them said anything.

Lu Zhansheng suppressed his anger and said, "First, we need to take back our food and things that belong to us. Second, let Wu Changde publicly apologize to us in front of the whole village. Third, we need everyone in the village I guarantee that I will not bully you maliciously in the future, and give us the rights and respect we deserve!"

He Zhi was silent for a moment, then sighed, turned to Wu Qingqing and said, "Please tell the branch secretary when you get home, we still want our food."

Wu Qingqing lowered her eyes slightly when she heard this, but she didn't say anything, just nodded.

He Zhi looked at the two bags of grain on the ground and asked Zheng Yan, "Whose is the other bag?"

Zheng Yandao: "Sister Yueru brought it, and said it was shared before."

He Zhi was silent for a while, and then said to Wu Qingqing, "Take your food back."

Hearing this, Lu Zhansheng immediately glared at him again.

He Zhi sensed his gaze, turned around and said to him, "That's not ours, it's his own food."

"How do you know?" Lu Zhansheng asked.

He Zhi said, "Just now I talked with the branch secretary."

"Just believe what he says!" Lu Zhansheng said, "I also said that he swallowed it all for himself!"

"No!"

Wu Qingqing suddenly said: "Your food totaled 480 catties, which were distributed to 24 families in the village on average, and each household was divided into [-] catties. My family didn't keep any of it."

Hearing the sound, Lu Zhansheng turned his head and glared at her again.

Seeing this, Wu Qingqing immediately became a little nervous. She felt that Lu Zhansheng might not believe it, so she immediately said: "It's true, my father really didn't keep anything private. If you don't believe me, just wait. I'll go door-to-door after talking to my father. We will send you the food tomorrow morning, you just have to wait."

When Lu Zhansheng heard this, his eyes sank again.

Wu Qingqing felt that he was getting more aggressive, she clenched the leash tightly in her hand, and took two steps back, protecting her lamb behind her,

"Cough cough..."

Zheng Yan cleared his throat and said to Wu Qingqing: "It's okay, don't be afraid, he won't do anything to you."

Song Jian said, "It won't do anything to your lamb either."

Wu Qingqing looked at the two of them after hearing this, but she didn't feel at ease. She had been woken up at night for two consecutive nights. Every time she went out of the window, she saw these people making trouble at his house, so she had a deep impression of them. No, among these people, she thinks He Zhi is the only good person.

"Brother He Zhi, then I'll go home first."

Wu Qingqing said hello to He Zhi, led her lamb to avoid Lu Zhansheng, and ran away quickly.

And Lu Zhansheng was even more annoyed by hearing this title again, he gave He Zhi a hard look, turned his head and walked towards the educated youth spot.

After watching Wu Qingqing's back disappear, Zheng Yan and Song Jian were stunned for a while, then turned their heads and left one after another.

In the end, He Zhi was left alone, sighing, and went silently to extinguish the bonfire burning on the threshing floor, and clean up the stalls after everyone's quarrel.

Early the next morning, Lu Zhansheng and the others got up early to prepare to receive their food.

Wu Changde didn't come today because he was too irritated last night and became ill, so he appointed his nephew Wu Tiezhu to come over to check.

Lu Zhansheng now has a problem with the surname Wu, so when Wu Tiezhu came, he immediately went to get a scale and came out, intending to weigh all the food delivered by those people later, to show his attitude:

Fight for every cent and never give up.

but.

After the first food delivery person came, he didn't have the nerve to say he wanted to weigh it.

It was an old woman who looked 80 to [-] years old, her waist was so bent that she couldn't straighten up, and she was leaning on crutches. Every time she took a step, the hearts of the educated youth trembled, and she always felt that she would fall.

Wu Tiezhu said to the educated youths: "This is Grandma Sun who lives in the west of the village. Her son died of illness when he was in his twenties. He used to live with his old man. The old man also died the year before last. Now she is the only one left in the family. people."

After finishing speaking, Wu Tiezhu hurried over to take Grandma Sun's bag, and then led Grandma Sun to the educated youths.

Grandma Sun felt very embarrassed when she saw the scale in Lu Zhansheng's hand, because she had already eaten some of the noodles, which was not enough for the original catty, and she had no other food to make up for it. There were only two eggs left at home.

"Children, I'm sorry."

Grandma Sun took the two eggs out of her pocket, put them on the noodle bag, and said to the educated youths, "I really can't make up for you, only these are left."

After hearing this, the educated youths felt as if a stone had been thrown into their hearts, and suddenly became heavy.

After Grandma Sun left, another disabled person came.

That looks young, but his legs are gone from the knee down, and he is blind in one eye. He is on crutches, and he hangs a flour bag around his neck. Every step he takes in this direction is very difficult.

Wu Tiezhu said: "This is Xiao Liu. Last year when he went to work in the mine and encountered a landslide, he went with a man from Sister Yueru's family. Haolai saved his life, but it has become like this. He has no parents since he was a child. , after being disabled, my wife ran away with others, and usually no one cares about her, and she lives on the help of the villagers."

"... "

After the disabled person left, a woman led a child. The woman's hair was disheveled, her eyes were loose, and her intelligence seemed to be poor. The child was only five or six years old, shriveled and thin, and the food bag was carried on his back His body looked particularly heavy, as if his waist would be crushed at any time.

Wu Tiezhu said: "That's Niu Niu Niang, she is a fool, she was born, and there is no way to cure it. There was a famine in the village two years ago, and the man in his family saved food for his wife and starved to death. The child was only four years old at the time. The one from the east and the other from the west managed to make do with it and survive."

"... "

After the two girls left, the next one followed, and then the next one. Basically, every family who came to pay back the food was in a similar or more serious situation.

In contrast, Li Yueru's family is actually the one with the best conditions.

No one expected such a situation, Lu Zhansheng couldn't accept it a little bit, and asked Wu Tiezhu with a frown: "Did you do it on purpose! Fucking find some old, weak, sick and disabled people! You deliberately disgust us, right?"

"Not on purpose."

Wu Tiezhu said: "They are all extremely poor households in the village, and the food is distributed to them. If you don't believe me, I can go door to door and take you to check it yourself."

"... "

After hearing this, Lu Zhansheng felt his breath was stuck in his heart, he couldn't get up and down, and was extremely depressed.

Zheng Yan asked: "Then what are you going to do without our food?"

"Let's see fate."

Wu Tiezhu said: "It's like this every year. If anyone in the village can get enough food, they will have a bite to eat. If they can't get enough food, they will go to the field to dig wild vegetables and peel off some bark. less than..."

After all, Wu Tiezhu didn't finish. After all, the meaning is very clear. If there is no edible things such as grass and trees growing in the spring, then he can only starve to death.

After the last food delivery person left, Wu Tiezhu checked the approximate weight of the food and left.

The remaining group of educated youths stood in front of the two broken cave dwellings, looking at the patched flour bags on the ground, feeling very heavy.

When they came, they already felt the situation in this village, and because of this, they thought they already had a certain understanding of the word "poverty".

Now, the village has raised their awareness to a new level, allowing them to see something they had never seen before.

Survival is difficult and the world is suffering.

After standing sullenly for a long time, Lu Zhansheng took a deep breath, then turned his head and asked Zheng Yan: "Hey, have you ever eaten tree bark?"

Zheng Yan also turned his head, his eyes met, he immediately understood what Lu Zhansheng meant, he turned around with a smile and asked Song Jian: "Have you ever eaten?"

Song Jian looked at Zheng Yan, then at Lu Zhansheng, and understood what they meant, so he turned around and said to all the others with a smile: "The bark sounds delicious, otherwise, after the beginning of spring, Let's have a taste together?"

The other educated youths immediately laughed after hearing this.

When everyone picked up the food bags in batches and was about to go out, He Zhi grabbed Lu Zhansheng.

Lu Zhansheng's anger towards He Zhisheng hadn't dissipated yet, when He Zhi pulled him, he immediately turned around and stared at He Zhi: "What are you doing!"

He Zhi was a little helpless, but he still pulled him to his side, helped him straighten his collar, and then slightly bent his mouth at him.

Lu Zhansheng: ...

If I'm not mistaken, is He Zhi's expression showing his approval?

Like a fart.

Lu Zhansheng pouted. "Don't get me wrong, this is not a compromise."

"Yeah." He Zhi said, "But you still asked everyone to send the food back."

"It's different."

Lu Zhansheng said: "I gave it on my own initiative and someone secretly withheld it. Those are two different concepts, and sending the food back does not mean that I forgive Wu Changde. He must apologize to us, otherwise this matter will never end."

He Zhi nodded slightly. "Um."

Ok?

Lu Zhansheng was a little surprised. He thought He Zhi would sigh helplessly after he said what he said just now, but he didn't expect that He Zhi didn't say anything to him, and even nodded. He didn't know what to do next. What did you say.

After thinking for a long time before remembering, he curled his lips again: "And you, you have to apologize to me, because every time you don't distinguish between right and wrong, you know to blame me first, and if you don't apologize, I won't forgive you of."

"Ah."

He Zhi was not speechless, but just looked at him for a while, touched his head, and said to him:

"When you come back, let's talk."
