Dali Village welcomed its annual grain distribution day.
The villagers started lining up at five o'clock in the morning.
Accountant Li Guai has two more helpers by her side today.
Villagers lined up to receive their grain.
The educated youth at the settlement weren't in a hurry; they didn't go there together until the afternoon.
Since last year, the educated youth settlement has no longer worried about not having enough food to eat every year.
This year is the same; their educated youth settlements are almost all full-length, and they've exchanged a lot of cornmeal, wheat flour, and soybeans for it.
The annual soybean paste making season has begun again.
The lively and united scene left the three newly arrived educated youth feeling dizzy.
This was the first time I realized that there could be such an atmosphere among educated youth sent to the countryside.
Wang Jianguo said, "Let's have a big meal together today, firstly to celebrate this year's good harvest, and secondly to bid farewell to Comrade Zhang and Comrade Xue. Let's do it in the front yard. I have some dried vegetables over there."
Wang Xiaorong said to Li Zheng and Li Chunsheng, "Let's go get two fish."
Zhang Jianjun said, "I have a piece of cured meat."
Xue Zhenzhen said, "I don't have meat, but I have eggs."
Everyone took whatever they had.
He Wan contributed a bowl of rice.
Qin Xuxiang and his wife took a portion of red beans.
Su Ranran and Zhang Cuicao dug up more than a dozen potatoes from the field.
Liang Shurui and Chen Qing brought over a chicken.
Zhang Cuicao was the main cook, and the other girls assisted her.
I made a pot of rice, red bean, and corn porridge.
I made potstickers and stewed cabbage with chicken.
Two braised fish.
Xie Meihui is getting on in years and likes to eat rice, so Zhang Cuicao served her a thick bowl of rice.
Zhang Yao originally wanted to say something, but seeing that everyone else was silent, she obediently remained silent as well.
Zhang Zhiqiang and Li Liqun, standing to the side, were all smiles, seemingly oblivious to everything else.
They never expected to be able to eat such good food at the educated youth settlement.
When they came before, they knew some of the neighbors who had been living in the countryside for several years.
Every time I came back, I was in a terrible state, but things seem different here.
At their educated youth settlement, they could stay in single rooms, and the food was quite good.
Many of the educated youth had their own projects in charge, and when they inquired, they were told that they had all actively fought for them.
In this educated youth settlement, only Captain Wang and Zhang Deping did not raise chickens, ducks, or fish.
Instead, I chose to farm. But after yesterday's observation, farming can also produce good results, which seems pretty good.
I was originally thinking of eating them separately, but perhaps I should reconsider.
During dinner tonight, He Wan and Chen Qing were quite far apart.
Perhaps because Zhang Jianjun was about to leave, Liang Shurui and Chen Qing prepared a gift for him, which turned out to be a leather belt.
"Speaking of which, the four of us came together, but I didn't expect you to be the first one to leave. I'm really happy for you."
When Chen Qing said this, he specifically looked in her direction.
He Wan felt the gaze but ignored her.
Tch, giving gifts is fine, but why do it in front of so many people? Isn't it just to show off? Too bad, Chen Qing was a step too late; she had already given her gift.
Although it wasn't a leather belt, it was exactly what Zhang Jianjun needed right now.
She gave us all kinds of coupons: grain coupons, cloth coupons, soap coupons, and even industrial coupons.
In other people's eyes, receipts are hard to come by, but for her, there are so many that they can't even fit in a washbasin.
He Wan didn't respond to this at all. Zhang Jianjun, who was standing to the side, was probably afraid that Chen Qing would ruin the good atmosphere, so he quickly started chatting with Liang Shurui about other things.
Chen Qingtai looked at the women at the educated youth settlement who kept their heads down while eating, and felt a pang of resentment. However, he couldn't let go of his pride, so he snorted and continued eating.
Just two minutes later, she suddenly started gagging, and Liang Shurui rushed over to take care of her.
Xie Meihui, who was standing nearby, exclaimed in surprise, "Could it be that Chen Zhiqing is pregnant?"
Liang Shurui, standing to the side, chuckled foolishly and said, "Yes, it's been two months."
Pregnancy is a joyous occasion, and the men quickly offered their congratulations while holding their rice bowls.
Chen Qing, who was being treated like royalty by the head of the educated youth settlement, now had a blush on her face.
She smiled and started talking to the male educated youth.
The women still didn't really pay her any attention.
That evening, she went to her online space to talk to Lao Yun about it. Lao Yun said, "Don't you educated youth in your area not talk to that couple much? Does she have any friends now?"
"The men are still friendly, but the women don't really pay attention to the couple. However, they are quite popular in the village now because they raise chickens and ducks well."
"You're doing pretty well too. This time, while you were getting grain, they all got chickens and eggs?"
