The villager smelled the chicken and said, "What's the problem? This chicken is obviously from many days ago. The color has changed. Are you blind?"

"Yes, this chicken cannot be placed in the cellar, otherwise it will go bad. Put it in the kitchen and smoke it." said another villager.

After listening to this, Li Tingyun thanked him: "Thank you, uncles. I'll go to the kitchen."

She took the half chicken to the kitchen, hung it up, and came out saying, "When we take a break later, I'll buy two pieces of meat and smoke them together."

Hearing what Li Tingyun said, the old Party Secretary said, "Don't go buy it. Once we finish here, we can slaughter the New Year pig."

"Yes, save it a little. When spring comes and there's less food to eat, use the money to buy food," a villager kindly reminded.

"Hey..." Li Tingyun listened.

Anyway, they don't lack meat, they just lack a gimmick.

If this is the case, you can wait until the meat from the New Year pig is slaughtered to make bacon, and then eat what you hunt in the mountains.

However, after this lesson, she will never be such a good person again. It's really a thankless job.

"What? Where else do you want to search?" She looked at the two women angrily.

"I haven't seen your room yet!" Zhou Yumei said unwillingly.

Li Tingyun pulled Heifeng and Danhuang out of the room and took them inside to open the cabinet and turned over the sack to show them everything.

After reading it, the old branch secretary glared at Zhou Yumei and Qin Shuixiang fiercely: "You two are the ones who cause the most trouble. You don't focus on your work, and you spend every day thinking about framing your comrades. It seems that life on the farm is too good."

Zhou Yumei and Qin Shuixiang looked at each other. They felt that they were being tricked by Liu Yue.

The two were furious but couldn't say it out loud.

After all, Liu Yue didn't ask them to do this, it was just that they were too impatient.

"Why don't you leave? Are you still waiting for others to treat you to a meal?" The captain yelled at them and walked out of the yard angrily with his hands behind his back.

The other two villagers also looked at the two with contempt and followed them out.

The old branch secretary's eyes were filled with anger, and he felt that he had to go find Branch Secretary Chen and have a good talk.

So, when they returned to the construction site, Zhou Yumei and Qin Shuixiang were assigned to do the most tiring and difficult work, and their work points for three days were confiscated.

The two were so angry that they stared at Xu Erhua and Li Tingyun, almost popping their eyes out.

After Li Tingyun returned to the shed, Xu Erhua came up and grabbed her to start fighting, but she shook her head slightly.

He Fei, who was working not far away, was glad that he had sold all the meat before, otherwise he would have been in even greater trouble.

Seeing the two young comrades being wronged, the old village chief shouted at the villagers: "Anyone who said bad things about Comrade Li Tingyun and Xu Erhua just now will not be served chicken soup tomorrow!"

Those villagers who had been chattering just now were filled with regret, their chests pounding with anger. They'd finally gotten a chance to eat some meat, but now it was ruined because of their gossip. They had only themselves to blame.

As the sun set, the old branch secretary was afraid that someone would cause trouble again, so he took the chicken home and brought it back the next day.

"The people in this village are ignorant and believe everything they hear. I'm sorry for wronging you." The old village chief looked at the two young comrades embarrassedly.

“Old Village Chief, this is not a big deal, just explain it clearly.

However, if one day I spend my own money to buy chickens and meat and you still accuse me like this, I will never share anything I find in the mountains in the future!

After all, everyone has a temper!" Li Tingyun said loudly.

Everyone can understand what she said. If someone finds trouble for no reason, she will not serve him anymore.

The old village chief was a little embarrassed. After leaving Li Tingyun, he found Tang Cheng, who scolded him harshly: "Look at what you brought out?

You eat the fastest when you are eating, but you always find fault when you have nothing to do. Haven't you drunk the medicine prepared by Tingyun in the past few days, or the ginger and sugar water prepared by the villagers?

If you can't control them, I'll file a report and ask a capable educated youth to come back and take care of you!"

The old village chief left after saying that, and Tang Cheng was very angry.

I finally get to drink some chicken soup, why are these people so restless?

Looking up, he glanced at Liu Yue who was squatting and working not far away.

He saw Liu Yue go to find Zhou Yumei, so most likely the idea was proposed by Liu Yue.

It seems that Liu Yue is not that good either. She is a petty person. You should not marry a woman like her.

It’s better to give this woman to Li Qiang, otherwise one day she will be cheated out of everything she has.

Liu Yue met Tang Cheng's gaze, a trace of guilt flashed in her eyes, and she cursed in her heart: "What a useless thing, it's just such a trivial matter, and you can't stand it."

Li Qiang also saw all of this and found that Liu Yue was quite smart and had completely washed her hands of the matter. Otherwise, with Qin Shuixiang's personality, it was impossible for her not to point out Liu Yue.

He also glanced at Liu Yue, wondering whether he should keep some distance from this woman in the future?

However, he thought that if Tang Cheng was not interested, his chances would be much greater. He finally found an educated youth from the city, so he would see what happened next.

The matter came to an end, and when they got off work, the three of them dragged their tired bodies back home.

After entering the courtyard, Xu Erhua asked anxiously, "Did you put the meat in the cellar of your room?"

"Yes, I put it in there. However, we can smoke meat openly recently. I took the half chicken in the cellar of the woodshed to the kitchen. It was an uncle who asked me to smoke it." Li Tingyun said happily, and took some leaves from under the shed to the kitchen.

"It's better not to eat tonight, in case someone comes to the house again later." Xu Erhua was still a little worried. Those troublemakers were really bad.

Li Tingyun also had the same idea. After thinking for a while, he said, "From now on, we will smoke the meat after dinner and put it away when we go to bed. That way, when spring comes, we will have bacon to cook with."

"Okay!" Xu Erhua nodded happily.

Eat pumpkin stewed rice in the evening and save some vegetables for the next morning.

They had just finished dinner when someone knocked on the courtyard door.

There was nothing to worry about now, so Xu Erhua opened the yard door and saw two unfamiliar villagers standing at the door.

"Erhua, these are the beans, eggplants and cabbages that our family grew ourselves. Thanks to your medicinal soup these past two days, our old man has gradually gotten better. I hope you don't mind." The speaker was a mother-in-law with completely white hair.

The old man standing next to him nodded repeatedly with a kind smile on his face.

Xu Erhua didn't have much impression of them because too many people took medicine in the past few days.

Li Tingyun heard the noise and came out. Seeing the villagers sending so many vegetables, he waved his hands repeatedly: "Grandpa and grandma, this is too much. We can just ask for some beans."
