Chapter 36: First Update: Master of Public Speaking
The next day, Ye Yu was called to get up. He wrapped himself in the quilt and rolled around on the bed, pretending to be trapped by the bed.
Until someone outside urged:
"The meal is ready."
Ye Yu sat up reflexively. Damn, this move was truly a fatal blow to her.
Today it's Han Jing's turn to cook.
Seeing Ye Yu carrying a sparrow out, he was stunned for a moment and said, "It may be too late to clean it now. Besides, I have only roasted sparrows before, and I don't know how to cook them in other ways."
Whose child hasn’t caught sparrows these days? Some are like the one in Mr. Zhou’s article, Run Tu, which focuses on the temptation.
When Han Jing was young, he relied more on a slingshot. He even brought his slingshot with him to the countryside. He once dreamed of living a free country life in the countryside, hunting birds and catching roe deer.
Oh, tears well up in my eyes whenever I think of it.
Ye Yu didn't know Han Jing's childhood memories, so he glanced at the sparrow:
“This is reserve food.”
The sparrow pretending to be dead chirped.
After spending the night yesterday, Ye Yu had confirmed that this sparrow was either originally a highly intelligent individual, or it had become a little smarter thanks to the mutant mutton.
The main manifestation is tamability.
After some threats and inducements, the little sparrow no longer made noises when she was sleeping. It didn't understand what she was saying and didn't know what "store food" meant, but it knew it was being called.
As an animal, it has its own sensitivity to murderous aura. For example, when Ye Yu is considering when to eat it, it will flap its wings and rub its little head against her hand.
There is nothing else, it is limited to this and is far from being a mutation.
ps:
No genetic mutation, tastes normal.
"It's cute," Hua Feifei also liked the plush stuff and couldn't help but touch it a few times. "It's a pity that it's a pest and will destroy the crops."
"It rubbed against me!"
"Really good."
Since he could feel Ye Yu's danger and murderous intent, he could naturally feel Hua Feifei's kindness and compassion, as well as some love and happiness that had just arisen.
Ye Yu just hadn't figured out what to do with this little fellow. It was not impossible to eat it, but after all, it was a sparrow that could accompany him to eat mutants.
It's quite fun to tease him when you have nothing to do.
There is no shortage of sparrows in the space. Sparrows can be defined as the "four pests" together with mice, flies and mosquitoes. In addition to harming crops, there are really large numbers of them.
"Here you can play with it," Ye Yu threw the sparrow to Hua Feifei and added, "If it dies, just remember to return it to me. Roasted sparrows are delicious."
Hua Feifei:
...Did people say that?
The little sparrow did regain some vitality in Hua Feifei's hands. She couldn't let these four pests go out and destroy the crops, so she found a thin rope to tie its legs. The sparrow didn't struggle at all during the whole process.
It was not until Ye Yu left the kitchen to wash the dishes that the little sparrow flapped its wings and flew towards her.
Not leaving?
But fly towards Ye Yu?
"Could it be that you think Ye Yu is the mother of sparrows?" Hua Feifei couldn't believe it. Ye Yu was not gentle to sparrows. Not to mention gentle, she was even a little cruel.
Korean Scene:
“Isn’t this a baby bird?”
"Maybe Ye Yu has a better relationship with animals. I heard that some people abandon dogs because of their cats, while some people specifically recruit cats and dogs." Xu Fei pushed his glasses and analyzed.
“Chichi!”
The sparrow chirped twice again.
Ye Yu didn't expect that this sparrow would recognize her. Even after untying the rope around its feet, it would still fly around her or land on her shoulder.
"???"
This is just an adult bird, it definitely doesn't treat a human as its mother, maybe it's thinking about the monster meat from last night? Not really, even if the monster meat smells good, it tastes so bad.
Considering that this guy was busy barbecuing yesterday, it's not impossible.
In nature, sparrows do have a special nose structure and highly sensitive olfactory nerves, which allow them to identify food, danger, and breeding pairs through their sense of smell.[1]
This guy has really strong taste.
But it’s also good, remember your mission and accompany her to eat exotic beast meat.
No matter how the sparrow chirped, Ye Yu would never take it out to work.
"Store food."
"grumble."
Silence.
very good.
Han Jing's cooking skills were average, and he didn't perform well in the morning, so he could only say that the rice was cooked. He nodded embarrassedly, but after what she had experienced last night, Ye Yu still ate with relish, and the others were not surprised by her persistence.
After dinner, Ye Yu, Hua Feifei, Han Jing and Xu Fei went to work as usual.
Nothing unexpected happened on the way to work, but many people in Xipo were talking about the accident last night.
"Do you smell it?"
"Yes, it smells really good."
"I don't know which greedy ghost stayed up late at night and ran up the mountain to barbecue."
"I couldn't fall asleep in the second half of the night. It's been a while since I had a meal of meat. This roasted meat smells so good."
“It smells like chicken.”
"Rabbit?"
"That's what bear paws taste like, right?"
"If a bear paw flattens you with one blow, it must be because of the ingredients. Who knows, it might be those second-rate guys."
"It looks like there are a lot of good things on this mountain. Let's go climb it after work and take a look."
"I also……"
Ye Yu heard multiple messages: ... Wrong decision. Meat is in short supply these days. Many people have the ability to smell the aroma of meat. Even though the mountain has such a large space, there are still a few families living halfway up the mountain who can smell it.
Unfortunately, these villagers don’t know that the delicious meaty taste actually has the smell of rotten eggs mixed with candles.
Forget it, I'll stay away from it next time.
One more thing before we start work today.
The villagers from the four groups in the team gathered together. Wang Laosan, whose leg had not yet fully recovered and was still limping, had to apologize to the four educated youth in front of everyone.
Wang Laosan reluctantly said: "I'm sorry."
"I can't hear you clearly." Seeing Wang Laosan glaring at her, Hua Feifei quickly hid behind Ye Yu and popped her head out from the side. "You need to explain why you did something wrong, the causes and consequences, that's how you can reflect on yourself."
At this time, a man who looked three-quarters like Wang Laoer stood up from the side, but he was half a head taller and stronger, with a broad back and strong waist. He said, "Laoer has already admitted his fault, isn't this too much?"
"Who are you, brother?"
Han Jing blurted out.
"Hahahaha——" The onlookers burst into laughter, and someone introduced in the crowd, "This is our village's militia company commander Wang Laoer, Wang Laosan's brother."
"Oh, thank you!" Compared to Wang Lao Er, Han Jing, who is about the same height, is obviously much more approachable. He waved at the person who reminded him and said, "What is excessive? Swearing at people behind their backs is excessive, looking for trouble and taking the initiative to provoke is excessive, and taking up arms to start class struggle is excessive. Imagine if Comrade Ye Yu was a little weaker, what serious consequences would have happened? At that time, you would not be apologizing here, but go to the shooting range of the Public Security Bureau."
The content of this speech uses parallel sentences to express high-spiritedness. Han Jing's voice is full of energy and the rhythm is passionate, making it easy for people to remember this.
What are you doing at the shooting range?
Being beaten!
From this, I think it was indeed Wang Laosan who provoked and attacked first. If that blow really landed on someone, who would have been able to withstand it? The educated youth was seriously injured, so he had to avoid being arrested, right?
Han Jing loudly asked everyone present: "So, is an apology too much?"
This made people so excited that several people immediately responded: "Not too much!"
"Not at all."
Hua Feifei and Xu Fei applauded enthusiastically.
Ye Yu couldn't help but be surprised that Han Jing, who seemed silly on weekdays, was actually a good speaker?
However, he is indeed quite emotional, and most of the time he is in a positive mood. In one word, he is always as happy as a fool, and can spread his happiness to those around him.
Wang Lao Er took a deep breath, frowned and raised his eyes, as if he was about to soar into the sky in the next moment.
Then Ye Yuping glared back at him.
Although Wang Laoer did not personally witness Ye Yu kicking Wang Laosan away, he still made a point of observing the strength Ye Yu displayed while working in the fields these days. He was indeed no less powerful than him. This matter would not be let go, but not now.
Luck, luck, he roared: "Wang Laosan, why don't you apologize as soon as possible."
Wang Laosan's grandfather and father were not here today. They could not afford to lose this person. Now the only person who supported them was gone. He was shocked and said loudly with his eyes closed: "I'm sorry! I was wrong. I shouldn't have said that if it were me, I would just jump into the cesspool and drown. I shouldn't have..."
"Ha ha ha ha."
The crowd watching below was filled with joy again.
“He who knows his mistakes and corrects them is a good comrade.” Because of her excellent performance before, Xu Fei and Hua Feifei made a face and asked Han Jing to continue. Ye Yu also raised her thumb to give a thumbs up. Han Jing, who was a little crazy at first, became more energetic.
"I live in a hutong compound. My grandfather was a veteran of the Red Army. My uncle and second uncle were both soldiers. My father is also a retired soldier. My mother is a worker and was a scout. But she has never worked in the fields. That's not right. My mother really wants to work in the fields. She has planted onions, garlic, leeks and other things in the front and back yards. Don't worry about you laughing at me, but I always thought that working in the fields was just like that."
Han Jing exposed his own shortcomings, which made everyone laugh, but most of the laughs were white lies.
Being a soldier is the most respected profession. Knowing that his grandfather was a veteran of the Red Army and that the elders were leading the applause and cheering for him, and knowing that his whole family were soldiers, it was even more amazing.
Han Jingzai continued: "...We were also students before we went to the countryside. We will learn, make progress, and try our best to use the knowledge we have learned to build Wangjiagou together with the peasant comrades and make Wangjiagou a better place in the future!"
Bang bang bang!
There was another round of enthusiastic applause.
Xu Fei was indeed an artistic young man. He even brought a pen and a notebook with him. He took them out of his pocket and recorded the scene. With endless inspiration, he suddenly overturned the title and content of the submission that he had thought about over and over again in bed last night.
Hua Feifei was also very excited. She stood up and first thanked the team leader, the village accountant, the village women's director and others for their help. She then talked about her experience of feeding pigs. At the end, she mentioned the names of two aunties who taught her how to feed the pigs, which made the two aunties below smile.
Wow, this is another natural speaker, the kind that makes some people cry.
Especially the part about homesickness, the pig-raising story is both funny and touching.
The only one who didn't applaud was Ye Yu. A villager accidentally made eye contact with her.
Any questions?
No, no, several villagers in a certain direction held back their tears again.
