"Can't you hear that I'm standing up for you?" Wang Yi said somewhat aggrievedly.
Ever since Feng Lingyu and her friends moved out, the relationship between these new educated youth has improved a lot, and they can be considered friends to some extent.
Both of them are lesbians, but Feng Lingyu is the center of attention, while Cao Yanfang is ignored by everyone.
Wang Yi said this because he felt it was unfair for Cao Yanfang.
"It's normal for them to treat me like this. Villagers are... xenophobic." Cao Yanfang said the last two words very lightly.
Feng Lingyu is different. It is because she helps the villagers make money that she gains their recognition.
Since these educated youth were outsiders, they often cheated at work, so it was normal for the villagers to exclude them.
"Don't say these things next time. You know very well that we can't afford to offend her." Cao Yanfang said seriously.
She now understood that Feng Lingyu's family background must be extraordinary. Even if her parents were both dead, there were still people above her protecting her.
Moreover, she has understood Feng Lingyu's personality after so long. As long as you don't provoke her, she is easy to talk to.
Wang Yi's face looked a little ugly, "Can't I just tell you a few truths?"
"Of course, but you are only telling the truth in your own perception. Others may not think so."
"Wang Yi, you have to change your temper, otherwise you will get into trouble sooner or later because of this."
"I'm not a fool. Okay, since you think there's no problem, I won't say anything." Wang Yi smiled mockingly.
Cao Yanfang didn't want to argue with Wang Yi on this issue, so she changed the subject: "Drink some hot water, it might get even colder on the road later."
Wang Yi hummed softly.
Feng Lingyu heard everything they said.
Feng Lingyu was holding a wooden stick in her hand. On the surface, she was fiddling with the fire carelessly, but in fact, she was radiating her mental power, and she was aware of everything that was happening around her.
Unexpectedly, during this period, not only Cao Zi changed, but Cao Yanfang also changed a lot.
How should I put it? In the past, Cao Yanfang had a sense of impetuousness. No matter what she did, she wanted to step on others to get ahead. But others were not fools and would not be willing to be used by her. This would naturally lead to conflicts.
But now she is much calmer, and has a feeling of returning to nature, as if her feet have finally landed on the ground and she no longer has those unrealistic fantasies.
The fire in front of him burned even more vigorously as he fiddled with it.
Feng Lingyu thought to herself that it was good that Cao Yanfang had changed her personality, as this would only benefit her.
The policy of sending educated youth to the countryside is still in place, and people like Cao Yanfang don't know how long they will have to wait before they can go back.
If they continue to rely on their city dweller status and refuse to accept reality, their lives will only become more and more difficult.
In fact, Qingshan Village is already very good. Yang Jianguo is a wise man who appears foolish. There are no unspoken rules in the village.
As long as the educated youth behaved themselves and worked hard, Yang Jianguo would not make things difficult for them.
Compared to other villages, this is already a paradise.
After an hour's rest at noon, Yang Quan led everyone to continue on the journey.
Their destination was a depression deep in the mountains, where the terrain was flatter.
The hunting period generally lasts seven days, but excluding the two days of travel to and from the destination, the actual hunting time is actually only five days.
According to the practice of previous years, one third of the prey will be distributed based on each person's contribution.
The remaining two thirds were handed over to the village and distributed to each household based on the number of people.
As for the remaining furs, they will be sold to the purchasing station. The money will be distributed to the injured and the poor families in the village. If there is any surplus, it will be bought into candies and distributed to the children in the village during the New Year.
After listening to Yang Quan's introduction, Feng Lingyu felt that this distribution method was very humane.
It neither handed over all the money to the public, which would have dampened everyone's enthusiasm, nor did it take care of the vulnerable groups in the village.
"If we're lucky this year, those of us who go up the mountain may be able to get a lot of meat." Yang Quan's face was full of longing.
Then he sighed and said, "If it weren't for the cooperative you set up this year, we would have to rely on these prey to have a good year."
In previous years, the villagers did not have much extra income throughout the year, and they relied on the meat from hunting in the mountains to celebrate the New Year.
Any leftover meat will be sold on the black market, bringing in a lot of income for the family.
This year, with the income from selling medicinal herbs, I don’t need to hunt so hard.
To be honest, all this is thanks to Feng Lingyu.
"The cooperative is not the result of my efforts alone. It's all thanks to everyone's joint efforts. By the way, Uncle Quan, are we all going hunting together tomorrow?" Feng Lingyu asked.
After getting familiar with Yang Quan, Feng Lingyu started calling him Uncle Quan.
"Usually they are divided into teams of 10, and the rest are responsible for vigilance." It is not good to have too many people when hunting, as it is easy to make noise and scare away the prey.
It is not good to have too few people. If you encounter a large animal like a wild boar, a few people may not be enough to hit it.
"Uncle Quan, can I go alone..." Feng Lingyu went up the mountain this time with the intention of catching some prey and putting them into the space. If he stayed with the main group, there would be no way for him to sneak across the space under everyone's noses.
"No, it's too dangerous for you to be alone! If something happens to you, we won't be able to save you in time if we are so far away from each other."
Yang Quan refused seriously.
He had originally planned to have Feng Lingyu stay with him while he went hunting.
I didn’t expect that a little girl like Feng Lingyu would want to act alone.
Now the mountains and forests are covered with white snow everywhere, and it is easy to get lost if you are not careful.
Therefore, there is no way Yang Quan would agree to Feng Lingyu's proposal.
Yang Quan had a tense face, full of rejection.
Feng Lingyu had no choice but to shut up in disappointment. It seemed that only if she showed Yang Quan her skills tomorrow would he let her go alone.
Having made up his mind, Feng Lingyu stopped dwelling on this topic and turned to ask Yang Quan about other things to pay attention to.
After walking for about another four hours, the originally rugged road became smooth.
Everyone knew that they had probably reached their destination.
Yang Quan was very experienced. He first judged the terrain, then observed the wind direction, and then circled out an area.
"This is where we will be camping for the next few days. Everyone, please clear the debris off the ground."
More than thirty people worked very quickly and soon the snow was smoothed.
There are old members in the team who have gone up the mountain to hunt in previous years and are very familiar with the process of building a camp.
Without any instructions from Yang Quan, they led the new members to work enthusiastically.
Yang Quan: "Everyone hurry up, it's going to snow soon!"
