Chapter 11 Studying the Newspaper
The sky was gray, rain mixed with snowflakes drifted down from the sky, spread on the land of the Loess Plateau, and the fierce cold wind made people retreat three feet.

However, in such a harsh environment, Guanzi Village began to become lively, and the men from each family picked up their tools and rushed towards Bajiao Mountain and Chaolong Mountain.

Their goal is to transform these two mountains into terraced fields, increase farmland, expand production, and realize the goal of strengthening the country as soon as possible.

Let's not talk about whether such behavior is scientific or not. The spirit and courage of moving mountains and reclamation alone cannot be possessed by other countries.

Wang Manyin ate four white-faced buns mixed with old godmother, resisted the hoe Wang Zhuguo gave him yesterday, explained to Lan Hua, and walked towards Bajiao Mountain.

On the way, everyone he met cast amazed glances at him. Normally, shouldn't Wang Manyin sleep soundly at home at this time, and then wander around the village when he has nothing to do?

In a few days, will you pat your ass and leave the village, go fooling around outside, and then come back after the Chinese New Year?
Unexpectedly, this well-known Erliuzi actually resisted the hoe, and it seemed that he wanted to go out with them.

"Man Yin, are you going to earn work points with us?" Chen Donghe came to his side and asked curiously.

Chen Donghe is also a strong man, [-] meters tall, slightly shorter than Wang Manyin. Chen Yuan is his youngest son and his nearest neighbor.

"Yes, Uncle Chen." Wang Manyin greeted with a smile, and took out a box of Pegasus cigarettes to spread around.

There are so many cigarette brands in this era. Daqianmen belongs to the better cigarettes, which belong to cadre cigarettes, while Pegasus cigarettes are not so high-grade, but they are cheaper.

But no matter how cheap it is, it is still a paper cigarette with a handle, which is not comparable to the dry tobacco grown at home.

And once the cigarette came into everyone's hands, everyone was reluctant to smoke it, so they pinned it to their ears and took a sip from time to time.

Of course, everyone began to warm up to Wang Manyin.

"It's better for Man Yin to hang out outside. The cigarettes he smokes are all cigarettes, which are much more chic than us."

"Hey, today is considered a blessing full of silver. I can smoke such a cigarette to relieve my fatigue."

"By the way, Man Yin, I don't know what you do for a living outside, can I also get involved?"

The crowd chattered and began to circle around Wang Manyin. Wang Manyin didn't hide anything, and told them some interesting stories and knowledge about Yuanxi County and Huangyuan area.

These are all the memories left to him by the original owner, and he has even told many of them, but everyone still listens with interest as if they never tire of hearing it.

While joking, they walked for more than [-] minutes before they came to the top of Bajiao Mountain. A large piece of flat land had been cleared out, and a shed was built on it to provide a little shelter from the wind, and a production team Everyone gathers here.

Captain Wang Zhongtian breathed a sigh of relief, looked around, and found that most of the people had come, and those who didn't come naturally marked it in their hearts, and counted it when assigning work points.

He said angrily: "Okay, people are almost done, now we start to study newspapers, finish learning early and work early."

This is the particularity of this era. Every day before working, you have to study. The main learning process is to read newspapers.

After saying that, everyone came to sit down in the shed, and began to take out their bongs to dig dry tobacco in the pipe, and then lit them skillfully, and the shed immediately became smoky.

Wang Manyin was almost choked, but in desperation, he also lit a cigarette. First-hand smoke is at least better than second-hand smoke.

Wang Zhongtian also lit a cigarette, and while holding it in his mouth, he frowned and unfolded a newspaper in his hand.

To be honest, the study time early in the morning is the most annoying part of him. He has only graduated from elementary school, and he is not serious about reading, and he can't recognize a few words at all.

Every time I study the newspaper, I read it out loudly, which makes these peasants laugh unabashedly.

Hmph, just kidding, I can at least read some characters, you guys can't even write your own names!
Although literacy campaigns are being carried out in this era, the majority of rural people are illiterate, and many people are unwilling to use their brains to study.

Wang Zhongtian bit the bullet and picked up the newspaper, just after reading the big headline, he saw a word in it that he had never seen before, and instantly felt that the newspaper in his hand was like a hot potato.

Many peasants looked at the captain holding the newspaper and guessed what happened. Li Dongliang, who has always been more active, immediately smiled and said: "Captain, why didn't you wake up? You just read the newspaper. Let us hear it."

"Yes, captain, didn't you say you should study early and go to work earlier."

"Ha, Captain, I'm afraid you won't be able to read again. It's okay, just read half of the characters. Maybe it's right."

The atmosphere in the first team was very good. Everyone was talking and laughing. They knew their captain's temper, so they dared to joke.

Wang Zhongtian exhaled two puffs of hot air from his nose, and took a deep puff of his cigarette, "Hmph, you can, why don't you come to study the newspaper, a bunch of bastards."

Li Dongliang was not angry either, he shrugged and continued to smile and replied: "We are not the captain, are we, brothers?"

"Hahaha, that's right, we're not captains, so what's so strange about not being able to read newspapers?"

Wang Zhongtian stared fiercely at the bustling crowd with a pair of bull eyes, and suddenly caught sight of Wang Manyin who had been silent for a while with a faint smile on his lips.

His eyes lit up, and he said immediately: "Man Yin, you graduated from junior high school, you must be literate, come on, you will lead everyone to study newspapers today."

After speaking, he hurried over, impatiently as if he wanted to throw away the hot potato in his hand, and threw the newspaper in his hand, while pushing him towards the middle.

Wang Manyin was stunned for a moment, and then he came to the middle in a big way. Isn't it just to read a newspaper, and it's just a script, which is really not a problem for him.

Everyone saw that Wang Manyin was about to pick up the newspaper and read it, and they all became quiet. They knew that studying the newspaper every day was a big deal, and if they were accidentally reported, they might become famous in the surrounding villages.

Naturally, Wang Manyin didn't stretch his hips, and read the contents of the newspaper in a cadence, and at the same time added his own opinions and memories of his predecessor's wanderings outside, and explained it vividly.

In this way, it is much more interesting than reading newspapers dryly, and many peasants can finally understand it. It feels like Wang Manyin is bragging and chatting, which makes them excited.

And Wang Manyin really made a splash.
