Seventy cannon fodder is a ruthless man

Chapter 113
As Meng Tao said, he took out "Huaxia Pictorial", agricultural textbooks, and five or six comic books from his schoolbag, and the educated youths rushed to read them immediately. Zhao Ming got "Huaxia Pictorial", browsed it quickly, and handed it to Jinniu , smiled and said: "This is your book, after you finish reading it, lend it to us when you go home."

Nodding to Meng Tao again: "You have vision, this magazine is very good, it's hard to buy."

Jiang Xiaodong flipped through the agricultural textbook: "This one is also good, it's very practical, but it's a pity that Comrade Jinniu still can't understand it—Comrade Taurus, you need to get well soon and learn culture with Taohua."

"Yes! I want to study too, I must study culture!"

Taurus was holding a color-printed pictorial, and happened to turn over a portrait of the Supreme Leader. He was so excited that he burst into tears: "Sister, did you really buy this for me?"

"That's right, it's your gift." Meng Tao said.

Taurus: "Thank you, sister, I will keep it well!"

"Why are you keeping it? This is a book. It is for you to read and study, so you should read it often."

"Then take it away!"

Everyone laughed, and He Huijuan said with a smile: "Comrade Jinniu means that we should not only study, but also cherish books, right?"

"Teacher He is right! That's it!" Meng Jinniu nodded desperately, and Meng Tao was worried that his brain would be shaken again.

But Meng Tao didn't know that the "Huaxia Pictorial" he bought by chance was extremely precious to Meng Jinniu. He really cherished it like his life, and for the rest of his life, he only loved "Huaxia Pictorial". He will also buy it as a gift for his friends. He made a big bookcase, which is full of the pictorials he has seen, and each one is kept brand new.

The educated youth sat and gossiped for a while, checking the time, it was time to go to the bus station, otherwise they would miss the bus, and if they couldn't go back, eight of them would be difficult to arrange at night.

Everyone comforted and encouraged Meng Jinniu a few more words, and then they went out together, and Meng Tao sent them downstairs.

Jiang Xiaodong and Meng Tao were talking, and deliberately lagged behind, walked to the stairs and stopped, Jiang Xiaodong said: "Is there no one from the Meng family in the Liang Commune? You are here alone to take care of the Taurus? How can this work?" Well, you will be very tired, and even if you are brother and sister, it is not convenient. I will explain to other educated youths when I go back, and I will not go to the literacy class at night, and I will take care of the Taurus."

Meng Tao hurriedly waved his hands: "Teacher Jiang, please take good care of your class, don't worry about us! I'm only here to deliver food every day, just to talk with Taurus, and to take care of other aspects, I need to hire someone else."

"Really?"

"Yes."

Meng Tao paused, and then said: "I know that many educated youths now want to be literacy class teachers and elementary school substitute teachers. Our commune is preparing to build a middle school. In May and June next year, we will recruit middle school substitute teachers from among these teachers. You go back Talk to Zhao Ming and He Huijuan, find more materials to review and don't relax, and strive to be admitted as a middle school substitute teacher.

It’s a full-time job, so you don’t have to work in the fields, so you have more time to prepare lessons and study. If you have the opportunity to study in the future, you can become a full-time student...you can still paint and do what you like! "

Jiang Xiaodong was a little surprised: "Zhao Ming and I have heard a little bit about this matter, and you also know the news?"

Meng Tao nodded, and Zhou Cuiling told her that Zhou Cuiling learned about it from her father, so it's not good to tell the educated youths directly, Meng Tao felt that they didn't go through the back door anyway, they were selected through normal examinations, so it's okay for her to reveal it here.

"Tao Hua, who do you hope Zhao Ming and I will pass the exam?"

"Only literacy class teachers and elementary school substitute teachers are eligible to take the selection exam. I certainly hope that all three of you will pass the exam."

Jiang Xiaodong was silent for a while, then smiled and said, "Okay, I will definitely try to become a middle school substitute teacher. Taohua, thank you, we will always be good friends, right?"

"Of course."

"Good friends should help each other, and you must tell me if you have any difficulties."

"Will do."

"It will definitely cost you to take care of the Taurus in the county seat. I have a little money here, so you can use it first."

As Jiang Xiaodong said, he handed over a cowhide envelope, and Meng Tao smiled and pushed it back: "Thank you, Mr. Jiang, I have money, and after I got a high score with Tian Zhi, he still owed me a few hundred yuan, which is enough for me to spend a long time. The Taurus was injured by someone, and it also received compensation for medical expenses, so we are not short of money for the time being."

"Really not?"

"If necessary, I will not be polite."

"Well, remember what I said, and you must tell me if you have something to do."

"Row."

The educated youths stood waiting at the entrance of the hospital. Jiang Xiaodong and Meng Tao walked over. Zhao Ming glanced at Jiang Xiaodong and asked Meng Tao, "When will Jinniu be discharged from the hospital?"

Meng Tao replied: "The doctor originally suggested staying in the hospital for a month and the plaster cast was removed, but Taurus is in good shape and the wound has healed well. It will take about a week or so before I can be discharged from the hospital."

"Well, then we can still pick him up and leave the hospital. On the [-]th of the twelfth lunar month, the literacy class will be on holiday, and the rest of us will go home for the New Year."

Meng Tao reacted: "Are you going back to the city for the New Year?"

"That's right," Qian Xiaoyun said, "Our brigade starts to give the educated youths a holiday every year in the twelfth lunar month. Those who are willing to go home for the New Year can go home."

Meng Tao smiled and said, "That's great. Brother Taurus and I will try to go home early, and everyone will have a big New Year's dinner in advance, and then you will go back to the city to reunite with your family."

"Wow, wow! I'll eat hot pot then, and I'll be greedy for dipping dishes made of peach blossoms!" Xu Guoliang responded immediately, smacking his lips eagerly.

Sun Yutang poked him with an elbow: "What are you craving for dipping dishes? When were you not busy grabbing meat?"

Meng Tao: "Wait, there are meat and dipping dishes, I made it fragrant and delicious for you, let you eat it, and then you don't want to go home!"

"Okay, if you don't come back, you won't come back, as long as you have delicious food every day!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Amidst the laughter, the educated youths waved goodbye to Meng Tao and rushed to the car.

When Meng Tao returned to the ward, Zhang Fu, who had disappeared just now, was lying on the edge of the Taurus bed, and the two were flipping through the comic books with relish.

"Brother Zhang Fu, where did you go before you came back?" Meng Tao asked.

Zhang Fu raised his head and said with a smile, "I'm chatting with someone next door. There are too many Taurus guests, so I have to give up my seat."

Jin Niu asked Meng Tao: "Sister, Mr. Zhao, Mr. Jiang, have they all gone back?"

"Back in the car."

"Oh, how much does it cost to buy so many things?"

"It's all because of other people's intentions. The days are long, and the relationship between people is good. Let's just remember it."

"Well, this favor has to be paid back. I'll wait until my leg recovers."

"I'll wait for your head to heal." Zhang Fu jokingly stretched out his hand to touch the head of the Taurus, but was slapped away by the Taurus, and the two laughed and laughed.

Meng Tao took the apple pears and cakes on the bedside table, gave them to eat, and sent some to Zhang's father. Zhang thanked him and didn't want cakes. He only took one apple and one pear. The peach was so delicious last time, but when I took a bite of the apple, it was too sour and less sweet. Dad Zhang stopped eating after one bite, and gave it to Zhang Fu. Zhang Fu didn’t want to eat his leftovers, and left them on the bedside table Come on, wait for Zhang Ma to come to eat.

Taurus also eats an apple. It feels very sour. It is not as delicious as the one bought by Taohuazi in Mengzhou. However, it is bought by educated youths and given to him with good intentions. I finished eating one bite at a time.
