Dalizhuang
The woodshed at their educated youth settlement was already full of firewood, and all sorts of mountain products were bagged and stored. He Wan even followed the villagers and turned all the sweet potatoes she was allocated into vermicelli.
Su Ranran and Zhang Cuicao only ordered one portion, saving the other portion to cook porridge.
Wang Xiaorong also followed their example.
They realized that women were better at managing money and thought things through. From then on, they followed Su Ranran and He Wan's example, making everything that could be eaten and stored, since they, as men, had large appetites and needed to store more food.
In addition, they know how to hunt, so even if they can't eat meat every day, they can still enjoy meat dishes.
However, they couldn't bear to eat all the meat, so they would secretly sell the items for money. Wang Xiaorong and Li Chunsheng were skilled in martial arts, and Li Zhengren was good at talking, so he was the one who went to the black market.
The black market is still dangerous, and we will do less of this kind of thing in the future. The main reason is that so many educated youth used to eat from the same pot, and they couldn't get their share.
Wang Jianguo and Zhang Deping's initial idea of eating separately has disappeared; they feel that the current educated youth settlement is much better than before.
Right now, I'm preparing to go up the mountain with the villagers to hunt some wild game so we can have some extra nourishment during the winter.
Chen Qing made up an excuse to go to the county today, and He Wan roughly knew what she was going there for.
It seems this autumn harvest has earned quite a few points.
Su Ranran, Zhang Cuicao, and the other two went to the county early this morning. A few days ago, they went to the commune to inquire, and the commune was very supportive of their idea, but there were no books available, so they thought they would come to the educated youth office to ask.
Everyone was initially quite anxious about this matter, but after finding the director of the educated youth office and explaining their situation, the director suddenly smiled and said, "Our educated youth office likes young people like you who love learning and are willing to improve. It's rare to find someone who recognizes their lack of knowledge and takes the initiative to learn. The fact that you want to contribute more to your brigade and do more things shows that you get along well with the villagers and recognize the shortcomings in rural development."
I'll talk to the Ministry of Agriculture about this and see if we can find you a couple of books. Take advantage of the winter break to study more. Let's try to use your knowledge to bring good returns to the commune and the production brigade.
He Wan and the others smiled and nodded, "Thank you, Director. We will follow your instructions."
What aspects would you like to know more about?
"Our village, Dali Village, is right next to the mountains, which provides a natural aquaculture environment. We'd like to learn about some aquaculture techniques. We also have a pond in our village that's been empty for a long time, and we'd like to learn about fish farming methods, common diseases of fruit trees, crop growth, and high-yield techniques. Our village doesn't have a clinic, so if we have a headache or fever, we have to go to the commune or county. Luckily, there's someone in our educated youth settlement who knows a bit about traditional Chinese medicine. She usually treats us educated youth when we have colds or fevers. We'd like to find more knowledge about these things so we can learn more and put it into practice, at least to help the elderly, weak, sick, and disabled in the village with minor illnesses."
He Wan's words made Su Ranran blush. She only knew a few medicinal herbs and had only brewed medicine for herself a few times while helping the educated youth with their medical care. She felt a little guilty and uneasy.
Listening to the group's detailed and humble explanations, the director of the educated youth office praised them repeatedly.
How could I not praise him? In the years he spent in the educated youth office, he rarely encountered such an enthusiastic comrade.
They readily offered their full support to the educated youth who had made requests.
The group got the result they wanted and left the educated youth office happily.
