On the way home, Li Fengnian and Zhou Yang were walking side by side, and Weng and his son-in-law chatted about each other!
Suddenly Zhou Yang asked: "Dad, do you know which martyr Tan you know?"
Li Fengnian nodded and said, "Well, we are soldiers in the same year, but his starting point is higher than mine!"
"Oh, you were already a battalion-level officer when you retired, and you have been retired for so many years, so his level..."
"No, he is not in the field force, but in a secret unit. He is the kind who cannot erect a monument even after he dies!" Li Fengnian said.
Zhou Yang understood instantly. He knew a lot about these people in his previous life, and he even almost became one of these people back then.
It's just that he is lucky. As time goes by and society progresses, their identities will gradually be made public, and then they will come from behind the scenes to the stage to accept national honors and people's applause.
"I understand, if that's the case, then you can safely take the person over!" Zhou Yang said.
"But I think Lao Zhang and Wang Ping don't seem to be willing!"
"It's okay. If you don't want to, it's because the actual conditions in the village have limited their love. By the end of the year, they will know whether what I said before is correct or not!" Zhou Yang said.
Li Fengnian nodded and said, "Actually, the reason why I brought Lao Tan's wife and children to the village was because of other considerations!"
"Oh, what are you considering?"
"On the one hand, Lao Yang and his wife are already old. Apart from Xiulan, he only has one silly son left in his family. Bringing Xiulan back can take care of Lao Yang and his wife nearby!"
Then Li Fengnian continued: "In addition, the competition for the position of scorekeeper in the village has been excessive, which has seriously affected the unity among comrades."
"And Lao Tan's eldest daughter has been in high school for one year. Let her be the scorekeeper. No one should worry about it, otherwise she will get into trouble in the future!"
Hearing this, Zhou Yang couldn't help but laugh.
"Dad, aren't you afraid that those village cadres will feel uncomfortable?"
"If you don't feel comfortable, then you don't feel comfortable. After all, no one else will feel comfortable if you give it to someone. Instead of doing this, no one in the village will want it!" Li Fengnian said.
"This is a solution, but if the villagers don't have any objections to this matter, it can still make everyone's life better!" Zhou Yang said.
"Well, I've bet my money on you. If you don't succeed in this pig farm, I don't know how many people will poke my spine!" Li Fengnian said half-truthfully.
"Haha, don't worry about this, nothing will happen!" Zhou Yang said.
"I hope so!"
The two of them walked and chatted, and soon arrived at Zhou Yang's house.
Li Fengnian did not go in, but bypassed his son-in-law's house and walked directly towards the old house.
When Zhou Yang returned home, Li Youwei had already cooked and was doing laundry.
When they came back from Dongquan Farm, they brought back a lot of dirty clothes.
Since she didn't go to work today, Li Youwei decided to wash these dirty clothes.
Seeing Zhou Yang coming back, Li Youwei blushed slightly, and then said: "The rice is in the pot, you take it out first, I'll go over after I've dried the clothes!"
"OK!"
Go to the kitchen and open the pot!
Zhou Yang saw a basket of oatmeal noodles steaming in the pot, with a few steamed potatoes on top.
Zhou Yang's face turned green when he saw this thing.
Oatmeal is a flour made from ground oatmeal. It is similar to wheat flour, but has a unique taste.
This thing mainly grows in the north and south of Yinshan Mountain, and Saibei Province is the main production area.
There are many ways to eat oatmeal noodles, including oatmeal noodles, dongdong, and fish noodles, but Zhou Yang, a native of the capital, is really not used to eating this stuff.
Especially when people in Saibei Province like to eat oatmeal noodles, they like to get some vegetables and pour some vinegar to accompany it. They even like to mash a few cooked potatoes in the bowl. Zhou Yang really can't accept it.
Therefore, Zhou Yang's family could not eat many noodles all year round.
Li Youwei just finished drying her clothes and came in. Seeing Zhou Yang's expression, she knew what he was thinking.
He immediately said with a smile: "I'm going to make egg soup for you. I know you can't eat cold soup either!"
After Zhou Yang took out the steamer, he saw a large bowl underneath with several hen eggs stewed in it!
Seeing that there was egg soup, Zhou Yang felt relieved.
Although the texture of the oatmeal noodles is indeed not good, of course this is Zhou Yang's own opinion, it is still very good when dipped in egg soup.
What's more important is that this thing can keep you hungry!
It also gets hungry quickly when eating steamed buns and rice!
If you have a full meal of noodles at noon, you won’t be hungry even at night!
After lunch, Zhou Yang went inside to translate the manuscript, while Li Youwei continued to wash clothes under the eaves.
None of them have the habit of taking a lunch break!
In fact, not only their husband and wife, but also most of the members in the village do not have this habit.
After all, most people have to go home and cook after work. After cooking, they have to go to work again, leaving no time for a lunch break.
After the work whistle sounded in the afternoon, Zhou Yang took the manuscript and went out.
In fact, it would be fine even if he went to the brigade headquarters. He could translate the manuscript at home.
But Zhou Yang always felt that translating manuscripts at home was not very exciting. On the one hand, it was because his house was small and the lighting was not very good.
On the other hand, he is somewhat obsessive-compulsive. Since he accepted the position of vice-captain, he must do it well.
If you don't go to the brigade headquarters, it would be a bit like skipping work, so Zhou Yang is happy to work in the brigade headquarters as long as he has time!
For a whole afternoon, there was no one in the brigade except Zhou Yang.
It wasn't until five o'clock in the afternoon that people came back to hand in tasks one after another, and the brigade headquarters became lively.
And just when Xu Siping was registering the tasks for everyone, the loudspeaker of the brigade headquarters suddenly sounded: "Attention, fellow members and comrades: There will be a members' meeting tonight, and the location is at the brigade headquarters. Every household must Come out, let each other know, don’t delay!”
The same content was shouted three times on the radio before it was over!
After hearing this notice, the educated youth members in the village hurriedly handed in their tasks and went back to cook, so as not to delay the meeting!
And none of this affected Zhou Yang!
He translated three major chapters in the afternoon, and there were only two chapters left in the second chemistry textbook. After working overtime in the evening, he could almost finish the translation.
So Zhou Yang planned to take time to go to the county tomorrow and send the translations of these two textbooks to Lao Xu.
By the way, I went to the County Water Conservancy Bureau and thanked Li Changqing!
After all, in the matter of Dongquan Farm, they had helped him a lot this time, so he had to express it!
As for what my father-in-law said, that Li Changqing had to thank him, it was just a joke, how could it be taken seriously!
In addition, Zhou Yang also wanted to ask Li Changqing what happened to the Baofeng Reservoir, so that he could have some idea!
.........
PS: The third chapter has been delivered, and it is still 7,000 words today!
