Chapter 95 Chapter 95 Paradise
The three new educated youth were all fragile. After walking on the mountain road for two or three hours, they were not only in a mess, but also almost exhausted. There was no need to consider Mr. Lin and the others. Hua Feifei, Han Jing and Xu Fei were the ones who helped carry the rations.
Wang Danniu can also come to help.
Seeing that it was a little girl who was not even waist-length, Mr. Lin hurriedly said thank you but it was not necessary. But when he saw Wang Da Nv easily carrying the sack that was taller and heavier than her, he was silent.
As an old Chinese medicine doctor who has seen tens of thousands of pulse conditions, he understands the human body better than ordinary people. Therefore, he has more questions in his heart.
What was going on in Wangjiagou? It was always breaking the mold. Every educated youth was a strongman, and women and children were no longer the weaklings they were known for. There were too many legendary talents.
I heard that there is a branch of medicine called anatomy in modern medicine. I really want to... cough cough cough, stop.
Ye Yu walked in front with empty hands, and she threw all the things in her backpack to Wang Danniu.
Wang Danniu had asked for it on her own initiative, and she was very happy to get a response from her master. She quickly put on the basket of things and picked up another bag of food.
Not to mention carrying a backpack, even if Ye Yu asked Wang Danniu to carry her, she would be happy to accept it. On the contrary, if she was not allowed to do anything, she would be sad and at a loss. I don’t know how she developed this personality. She will suffer if she gets along with others in the outside world.
Fortunately, Wang Danniu's personality quirk is only directed at her mother and master. Hua Feifei and the other two have confirmed it, so they don't care. As long as Wang Danniu is happy and it doesn't affect her growth, it's fine.
The villagers also understood that this was just the beginning. As an apprentice, of course, he should serve his master for three years. There is an old saying that goes, "Once a teacher, always a father."
Besides, they had seen the changes in Wang Danniu. She was now stronger than an adult man. They all wanted to learn from Ye Yu, so what was the big deal about carrying a backpack?!
Only the newcomers were unaware of the situation and didn't understand.
But even if they had objections, no one paid attention to them. They didn't have the energy to object. Their backs and legs were sore and they couldn't even help the children. They slowly fell to the back.
When they arrived at the educated youth site, Hua Feifei and Xu Fei went to the kitchen to busy themselves, Han Jing lit a bonfire in the yard, and Ye Yu also lit a bunch of mugwort that he had brought from somewhere, as mosquitoes in the mountains in spring and summer were too annoying.
By the warm, bright light of the fire, the ten newcomers saw where they would be staying tonight.
Better than they imagined.
Rows of red walls and black tiles, bedrooms, kitchen, small living room, toilet, bathroom, although small, it has everything.
Even Han Jing, who had the best conditions among them, could not occupy such a spacious and bright yard with his family. There were two rows of newly planted green trees in front of the yard, half an acre of green land in the yard, the lower branches of the grape trellises and the wooden stakes, all clean and orderly.
Three chickens were walking in the yard with their chests puffed out. One of them had grown fatter and was quarreling with a bird, chirping and arguing. Would it be too lively to jump up and peck at the bird?
Hua Feifei introduced: "Numbers 1, 2, and 3 are the chickens we raise. This one doesn't count as a reserve food. It flew here on its own. Although it's a sparrow, it only catches insects and doesn't steal food. It's not considered a pest and can even help feed the fighting chickens."
They really couldn't understand how sparrows fed chickens?
Just as they were thinking this, they saw a sparrow holding a caterpillar and feeding half of it to a chicken. The chicken with the biggest circle also fed half of the caterpillar to another chicken. It seemed like the two chickens were competing with each other?
“…”
The world is so big that there are all kinds of strange things.
Before coming here, Mr. Lin said that the paradise on earth was just a joke, but after seeing the Youth League Home like this, he suddenly realized that the paradise on earth is nothing more than this.
Han Jing led them to the room where they would stay tonight.
Zhang Qingdai, Xie Danhong and Hua Feifei lived together in a big room. Although Hua Feifei had been angry with Ye Yu because of the choice of room, she felt a little uncomfortable with having two more roommates. She even envied Ye Yu's small room a little.
No way, it’s just an illusion, an illusion.
Hao Jianshan lives in a room in the east house, which is his permanent residence. Han Jing said that there is a carpenter with excellent craftsmanship in the village, and he can ask him to help make some cabinets, shelves and the like every other day. There are also many aunts and grandmothers in the village who are good at bamboo and rattan weaving, and they can buy some daily necessities.
By the way, they learned all these from Ye Yu, who understood life better than them.
As for the remaining seven people, they were staying temporarily. Xiang Yan, Xiang Xingxing and Bai Rongrong also lived on the big kang in the west room, while the others chose to share two rooms in the east room.
They will move out tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
Han Jing promised to help and said that Hua Feifei was an expert in pig farming and was most familiar with the pigpen.
Hua Feifei, who was trimming green onions in the yard, heard this and immediately replied, "The newly built pigpen isn't entirely for pigs. It uses new bricks and is more solid than the ones we had at the educated youth camp. It just might need to be divided a bit and kept well ventilated."
Also, although it is spring now and far from winter, we should not be careless about making the kang.
Both Grandpa Lin and Grandpa Xiang said that they were too much trouble. If it weren't for these four young people, they might not be able to stay at the educated youth center tonight. Grandpa Ou was the least articulate, and after holding it in for a long time, he finally said something asking his grandson to repay him well.
Han Jing scratched his head and smiled: "It's nothing, it's just a small favor."
Grandpa Lin and the others did not think this was a piece of cake. For Xiang Yan, it was a life-saving grace. She touched her forehead, which had subsided in fever, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and silently squeezed her daughter's hand.
After a while, Hua Feifei and Xu Fei's meal was cooked.
Because there were so many people, the staple food was still sweet potatoes and miscellaneous grains. Eight or nine corns were cooked, one for each child and one for the patient, and the rest went to Ye Yu.
Hua Feifei also used potatoes to make mashed potatoes, stir-fried potato shreds, and fried potato pancakes. Potatoes are easy to grow and inexpensive, and there are many ways to make them.
The dish here has fresh spring bamboo shoots, some fried bacon, and fried eggs with Chinese toon, which are considered meat;
The spicy dried radish can be eaten right away, it is simple and tasty; the cold-mixed amaranth, prickly ash sprouts, goose intestines, wood ear mushrooms, etc. are all wild vegetables from the mountains. Even the picked sprouts will have some astringency, or even bitter or sour taste, but Hua Feifei is willing to add more ingredients and cook it as a real vegetable, rather than a wild vegetable to fill the stomach. Whether spicy or not, it tastes pretty good.
There is also blood sausage and a big pot of stewed chicken broth with a lot of vegetables cooked in it.
To be honest, this is a little bit light for Ye Yu's daily meals.
The problem is that the dinner party has been confirmed tonight, so it is not appropriate to set up a separate table for Ye Yu. Besides, there are too many people, and they cannot rely on Ye Yu alone to pay for the meals for so many people. Ye Yu is not a generous person.
Furthermore, there are many people talking and they are afraid that the news will leak out.
Hua Feifei winked at Ye Yu, and Ye Yu winked back at her.
Except for Han Jing and Xu Fei, no one else understood the two men's offensive skills. For others, such a meal was already very sumptuous.
There are vegetables and meat, chicken and meat. Even during the Chinese New Year, the food cannot be better than this.
For the seven people who were sent to the farm, they hadn't smelled meat for nearly a year. While Hua Feifei and Xu Fei were still cooking, they couldn't help drooling in the yard and their stomachs were rumbling.
As soon as the food is served.
At the sound of "eat", the little girl who knew nothing found the most fragrant and delicious bacon, opened it, and ate it with sweet potato rice in big mouthfuls, her cheeks bulging with food.
Hua Feifei was afraid that she would choke, so she filled her enamel cup with chicken soup. When it cooled down a little, she could share it with Bai Rongrong who was busy eating.
Xiang Xingxing drank the chicken soup and was really mesmerized by the delicious taste. He gulped down several mouthfuls before stopping and pushing it to Bai Rongrong: "Sister, sister, eat it!"
Bai Rongrong took a sip and pushed it back silently. The two little sisters did not argue or quarrel over the bowl of chicken soup. Instead, they pushed it back and forth, which made Hua Feifei sigh that they were sensible.
The adults were rather reserved, and so was the teenage boy Ou Liang, who refused to take any meat, only potatoes and wild vegetables, and kept saying they were delicious.
It is indeed delicious, but not as good as meat.
Hua Feifei, Han Jing, and Xu Fei kept persuading them, but they kept refusing. At the end, they might pick up a little bit of shredded meat, stuff it into their mouths carefully, chew it for dozens of times, and nod in approval.
Mr. Lin also cited traditional Chinese medicine and said that their stomachs had not been exposed to oily and meaty foods for too long, so they should not eat too much, as it would be bad for the spleen and stomach and might cause diarrhea.
This is true, but it is not just a matter of one or two pieces of meat.
It was a rather bittersweet celebration.
After dinner, they cleaned up the room. Needless to say, the three educated youth, Hao Jianshan, Zhang Qingdai and Xie Dan, had brought their luggage with them to the countryside, including quilts and everything else.
The quilts of the other seven people were not even quilts. Not only were they thin and had many patches, they were also hard and cold as iron.
Ye Yu had so much fur that he didn't know what to do with it, so he gave some to the Xiang family, Old Man Lin, and Bai Rongrong. Each family had one blanket, and the Ou family had a large family, so he gave them two.
Mr. Lin:
"How can this be possible?"
They eat their food, live in their shelter, and now they are letting them use their precious blankets.
Little did they know that this was not a loan at all, Ye Yu was planning to give it to them: “Don’t throw it in the trash can.”
Without giving anyone a second chance to speak, she turned around and left, and no one could catch up with her.
“…”
Hua Feifei, Han Jing and Xu Fei all said: "Ye Yu has such a stubborn temper. If you don't want her, she will really be thrown out like garbage." They persuaded them to accept her.
Several people's eyes became red again, and tears shed like beans with rich emotions. They didn't know how many times they were moved that day.
Even the youngest, Xiang Xingxing, knows that these older brothers and sisters are very nice. She doesn't mind being touched on the head by Hua Feifei, Han Jing, and Xu Fei, and she even stares at the beautiful older sister who can soar high.
Seeing this scene, Hao Jianshan, Zhang Qingdai and Xie Danhong were a little moved, but more of them were envious. However, they knew that Ye Yu would not give them a quilt each since they already had one.
After spending the day together, some people's impression of the "five black categories" has changed. At least the seven people they met were not vicious villains.
