Chapter 32: First Update: Red Plum Blossom Praise

We had originally decided to have fish for lunch yesterday, but Xu Fei was exhausted after working in the corn stalk field all morning, and he was embarrassed to let Hua Feifei, a female comrade, do all the work for him, so he postponed the fish dinner to the evening.

Thanks to Ye Yu, I cleaned the fish last night, applied some salt and wrapped it up. The temperature has been getting lower and lower recently, so it’s no problem to keep it until the evening.

Only Ye Yu was very unhappy because he couldn't eat the fish.

Han Jing, Xu Fei, and Hua Feifei's fear of Ye Yu has been reduced a lot since they knew that she has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. However, it still remains a little, but it doesn't matter.

Hua Feifei even took out her own White Rabbit milk candy and exchanged ten of them with Ye Yu. She only had less than half a pound left.

Ye Yu couldn't wait to peel off the candy wrapper and put it in his mouth. The rich milky aroma softened all at once, and the tip of his tongue was filled with a sweet and mellow taste.

"White Rabbit milk candy is two yuan per two ounces, and one two ounces of White Rabbit milk candy only contains ten pieces. This is really a luxury." Xu Fei drooled enviously. Who doesn't like to eat White Rabbit milk candy?

Han Jing was embarrassed to say that he also wanted to "change" because he had quite a lot of money on him.

Xu Fei had already seen through it. He looked at him as if he were a traitor and said sadly, "I finally understand. I am the poorest among the four of you."

Although the content of these words is sad, they do not give people a sad feeling. Maybe it is because his eyes, mouth and voice are not depressed, which means that he is not really troubled by this.

As expected, Xu Fei soon laughed again: "Then I have a better chance of getting rich."

"It's actually not that expensive. It's cheaper in Shanghai. My mom got the internal price."

Having said that, Hua Feifei was reluctant to give the remaining half pound to Han Jing evenly. She also loved eating sweets very much. These candies were not enough for her to eat for two months, but she could still use two of them to make a cup of candy water.

It was good to have something to eat. Han Jing and Xu Fei were also very satisfied. They also took out some side dishes or snacks that they bought from the town or brought from home.

The side dishes were fine, and the lunch with White Rabbit milk candy and raisins was a bit strange, but the meal could still be considered substantial.

The leaves of the elm are visibly happy.

Hua Feifei discovered two patterns. The first was that when Ye Yu was happy, her left eyebrow would twitch slightly, especially when she ate something delicious. The second was that Ye Yu, who was very stingy with food but not fussy about other things, actually didn't like to take advantage of others.

Of course, it was absolutely impossible to let Ye Yu go back to enjoy the meals, but she could give them some massage during the lunch break so that they could work more efficiently in the afternoon.

"You know how to give massage?" The three men didn't believe it. All the massage masters they had seen were over fifty years old.

Elm leaves:

"Professional player."

The three of them seemed to believe it but not quite.

Ye Yu showed them his skills.

The first object is Hua Feifei, and there is no need to go into the room. From the head to the neck to the back to the arms, or fingers, palms, palms, finger tips, or fists, pinch, press, push, twist, point, pat, and rub.

Looks very professional.

Not only is it highly professional, it is also more like a pleasing art. Ye Yu has beautiful hands, with slender fingers that have a relaxed tension, just as natural and smooth as her massage.

Only Hua Feifei felt unhappy: "Ah ...

Those who didn’t know would think that these educated youth were killing pigs.

Ye Yu was also very fast. After about three minutes, he had stopped before Han Jing and Xu Fei opened their mouths.

Hua Feifei's screams suddenly stopped. Eh, it didn't seem to hurt anymore. She shook her head, nodded, and stretched her arms like a rehabilitation patient.

"Ouch, it really doesn't hurt anymore."

Not only did it not hurt, but the previous soreness was gone. Hua Feifei had to admit that the joints all over her body had become much more flexible and she felt more relaxed.

“This is amazing.”

"Science, science." Xu Fei pushed up his glasses and emphasized that the words "beasts, horses, snakes and monsters" were not good words nowadays.

Hua Feifei changed her words:

"Yes, yes, that's very scientific."

"It's actually very scientific." Ye Yu explained, "Tui Na is a physical treatment method that clears the body's internal organs and meridians to make the Qi and blood flow smoothly."

Xu Fei couldn't help but ask:

"Has Ye Yu studied Chinese medicine?"

Nowadays, many old cultures have been hit hard, including traditional Chinese medicine and modern medicine. The hardships suffered by doctors in cities may be only slightly less severe than those suffered by teachers. This is not the case in the countryside. It is a rare opportunity to have a barefoot doctor in the village. Many people have fallen ill and died on the road. It is true that only when you lose something can you realize how precious it is.

"No, I don't understand," Ye Yu shook his head, "I just have a rough understanding of the human body."

Xu Fei, Han Jing, Hua Feifei: Wait...what does this sentence mean?

Next one's turn.

"No, no." Han Jing refused with a red face. The current social atmosphere is still relatively conservative, and men and women mostly pay attention to keeping a distance. He didn't feel it when he watched, but when he thought of Ye Yu massaging him with such hands, his face turned red, and his ears and neck were hot.

Elm leaves:

...He is indeed a pure and innocent little boy.

"Are you sure you can come this afternoon?"

Han Jing, Xu Fei:

...Not sure.

"We are all partners in building a beautiful countryside. It would be strange if you were so shy about revolutionary feelings." Hua Feifei was now relaxed and was being pushed by Ye Yu. No, it was Ye Yu's massage skills that pushed her.

That makes sense.

Han Jing was also a person who could not be provoked, so he blushed and closed his eyes.

And when Ye Yu's fingers pinched his shoulders, all the innocent shyness and adolescent restlessness disappeared, and there was only one word in his mind -

pain.

At the same time, he uttered a high note: "Ah ...

Han Jing's howl was like a wolf's howl. The pitch was not high, but the decibels were loud enough and more heart-wrenching. Perhaps because he was more tired than Hua Feifei in the morning, his howl was louder than Hua Feifei's.

It was a bit inaccurate to say that Hua Feifei's cry sounded like a pig being slaughtered. This might be the real cry of a pig being slaughtered.

Xu Fei retreated strategically.

But before he could leave the yard, Han Jing and Hua Feifei caught up with him and forced them onto a chair. Having experienced so much hardship themselves, they would never allow their companions to desert.

Xu Fei was dissatisfied: "You are using public power to take revenge on private interests and repaying kindness with enmity!!!"

What irrelevant adjectives were used here, and he was already furious.

Xu Fei decided that he could endure it, and swore that he would never scream out in shame. He even prepared to bite the sleeve of his clothes, but it was no use.

“Ah—ah—”

Xu Fei's voice has a high pitch, a good decibel, and a wide range. Congratulations to him for discovering his excellent talent in singing.

Three minutes.

Xu Fei realized what it meant to be a true miracle worker, but he was not very happy. He said in a frivolous way, "Didn't you hear the echo of the pig being slaughtered just now?"

This is a mountain village surrounded by mountains on three sides. Their screams, which were getting louder and louder, must have been heard throughout the entire Wangjiagou.

Hua Feifei and Han Jing were suddenly petrified and cracked after being reminded.

Ye Yu was in a good mood, humming a song as she washed her lunch box: "A thousand miles of frost and ice under my feet, I am not afraid of the severe cold of the 39th day of winter, my heart is blooming towards the sun, blooming towards the sun..."

This is a very popular song nowadays, "Red Plum Praise", which was released two years ago. At that time, it was played every day on the radio in all cities. Many people could sing it, and students even learned it in class.

Ye Yu once brought this song into the future. The old song accompanied her to find a foothold in that colorful world. Later, she experienced a long period of wandering life alone in the end times. It was normal for her to talk to herself without anyone, but she didn't like talking to herself, so she would sing a song whenever she had time.

Honestly, it's a pretty good song.

After Han Jing, Xu Fei and Hua Feifei couldn't find a crack in the ground to squeeze themselves in, they had no choice but to accept reality. Plus, the familiar tune was very contagious, so they joined the singing team, humming more clearly and louder than Ye Yu.

"A heart of red blooms towards the sun, the red plum blossoms bloom, each one shining brightly, thousands of flowers bloom with their heads held high, their fragrance drifting beyond the clouds. Awakening all the flowers to bloom together..."

The singing echoes among the green mountains and clear waters.

I go to work in the afternoon and the work is almost the same as in the morning.

Apart from the Yeyu villagers who did not come forward to disturb them, Han Jing, Xu Fei, and Hua Feifei received a lot of concern, questions, and excitement from people.

"Fei Fei, I heard that you were beaten up by Comrade Ye Yu at noon? Were you beaten to the point of screaming like ghosts and howling like wolves?"

"That's absolutely not the case, Aunt Baiyun. Who told you that? Ye Yu may be difficult to get along with, looks a little cold, loves to eat, and isn't sociable, but she's still very enthusiastic and is helping us with massage."

"Why is it screaming like a pig being slaughtered?"

Han Jing: "...You can recognize my voice? Second Master, you are amazing!"

"Of course! I am not good at anything, but I have a pair of ears that are absolutely amazing. When I was young, they were even more amazing. When a rooster or a dog in the village barked, I could tell which family they belonged to."

"What song are you singing? It's quite nice."

"'Red Plum Blossoms', have you seen the movie 'Forever in Flames'? It was played in cities and villages last year, and one of the interludes in the movie was 'Red Plum Blossoms'."

Suddenly, loud singing could be heard from the ground. Old people and children alike were singing.

It is said that "the land and water nurture the people, and the mountains and rivers have their own customs and customs." This statement is not entirely accurate. Every landscape has some exotic flowers and plants, but the impact of the environment on people is definitely not small.

Just like Wangjiagou, there are always some things in common among the villagers.

Wangjiagou is like a stream flowing in the deep mountains, and Ye Yu, Hua Feifei, Han Jing and Xu Fei are like living water gushing out from underground springs, adding a lot of vitality and freshness to this stream.

Unlike many other villages, the educated youth in Wangjiagou were not labeled as being incompetent or freeloaders. After all, no one could compare to Ye Yu in terms of hard work. In addition, the four educated youth did not have any major character problems, so the villagers gradually began to see their strengths.
