Chapter 112 The Years of Educated Youth in the Countryside 39



Time flies.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon.

The villagers began to prepare for the New Year.

The commune plans to slaughter dozens of pigs so that every household can have meat.

Chu Yanyan and Li Hexing took a truck to the town.

When we got to the town, we saw red hanging everywhere.

Compared to the first time, Chu Yanyan no longer saw the bustling crowd of young people beating drums and gongs on the streets. After returning from buying New Year's goods.

Zhang Na heard that the Eighth Master's son and daughter-in-law had stopped quarreling. They had been arguing all day and hadn't gained anything. They were just going to spend the New Year in peace and wait until next year to join the commune to work and earn work points to support the family.

Jiang Tiantian's home was quite far from here, and although she wanted to go back, she decided not to. She wrote a letter to her family and sent it back with some of her earnings. She stayed here to celebrate the New Year with Chu Yanyan and the others.

The same is true for Zhang Na and Chen Feiyang.

On New Year's Eve.

These educated youth and Li Zhiye gathered at Li Hexing's home to have New Year's Eve dinner.

Everyone came with something in their hands.

The originally deserted house gradually became lively after they joined.

The crisp voice of a woman, like a bell, echoed leisurely.

Li Hexing prefers quietness. He originally thought that he and Chu Yanyan could spend New Year's Eve alone, but he didn't expect them to come.

But they are all Yanyan's friends, and he is happy to welcome them.

The little yellow dog ran to Li Hexing's house as if he knew the place well and asked for food.

Each of them has work to do, some wash vegetables, some cook, and so on.

The little yellow dog was running around the stove.

A cold wind blew at night.

Chen Feiyang ran into the house quickly, carrying a pot of rice, yelling, "I'm freezing to death."

After the vegetables are cooked.

They gathered around the table, looking at the dishes on it, their saliva flowing. It was the first time they could eat such a sumptuous meal.

They picked up the rice wine they had brought from an uncle's house, raised it to each other, and with smiles on their faces, they said in unison: "Happy New Year's Eve!"

"Woof woof!"

Happy New Year’s Eve.

Li Hexing looked at Chu Yanyan who was sitting next to him and said in a low voice.

Chu Yanyan turned her head and smiled at him.

Li Zhiye looked at Jiang Tiantian, who had a smile on her face, and couldn't help but smile.

Jiang Tiantian happened to look over, their eyes met, and then they looked away tacitly.

After a full meal.

They went outside to set off fireworks.

After playing for more than an hour, they all left because it was a bit cold.

After the little yellow dog had eaten its fill, it ran back home.

Li Zhiye rode his Phoenix bicycle and took Jiang Tiantian away.

Chen Feiyang looked at this place and wanted to curse, but he was rational and did not curse. He watched the people walk away with a smile on his face, and then he sent Zhang Na back.

After people left.

The room fell silent.

After Chu Yanyan watched them leave, he looked at the man standing next to him, reached out and grabbed the man's big hand, and walked into the house.

Chu Yanyan sat by the stove, warming herself by the fire. As she warmed herself, she began to feel sleepy.

Li Hexing opened the door from the outside and walked in. As soon as he walked in, the cold wind from outside blew in.

Chu Yanyan, who was about to fall asleep, opened her eyes with a start and glanced at Li Hexing: "Are you back?"

"I'm back." Li Hexing closed the door tightly, squatted beside Chu Yanyan and warmed himself by the fire for a while, then he picked up the sleepy boy and carried him to the bed.

Chu Yanyan nestled in the man's arms, sniffing the familiar scent on him: "I'm sleepy. I can't do it anymore. Let's talk about it tomorrow."

"Okay." Li Hexing agreed. He carefully put the bed, took off his shoes, and covered the bed with a blanket.

He blew out the lamp.

The room was dark.

She also took off her shoes, crawled into the bed, and hugged the boy tightly in her arms.

The old year passes and the new year comes.

During the Chinese New Year period, the village holds many activities, including lively wedding banquets and lion dance performances.

It’s time to get busy again after the New Year.

Chu Yanyan was very confident in his vegetable garden, but there were a lot of troubles during this period, but they were all solved with his fists.

The technically educated youth worked with the town's electrical wiring technicians and began to bring electricity to every household, eliminating the need for kerosene lamps.

As the harvest increased, the drawbacks of the commune gradually became apparent.

Li Zhiye and his colleagues gradually relaxed the strict regulations of the commune, allowing each household to have their own piece of land to meet their own needs. In addition, the larger part of the land was first returned to the commune for grain.

These things are happening slowly.

Jiang Tiantian and his colleagues are committed to rural construction. Considering the future development of their children, they have taught them a lot of knowledge.

Besides growing vegetables, Chu Yanyan also does other things, trying to do something useful for the countryside in line with this context, such as rural sanitation construction, biogas power generation, hydropower stations, etc.
