Chapter 95 Chapter 95 Utopia
The three new educated youth were all weak. After walking on the mountain road for two or three hours, they were not only exhausted but also almost exhausted. There was no need to consider Old Man Lin and the others, so Hua Feifei, Han Jing and Xu Fei were the ones who helped to carry food.
Wang Danniu can also come to help.
Seeing that it was a little girl who was not even waist-high, Mr. Lin hurriedly said thank you and it was not necessary. But when he saw Wang Da Nv easily carrying the sack that was taller and heavier than her, he was silent.
As an experienced Chinese medicine practitioner who has seen tens of thousands of pulse patterns, he knows more about the human body than the average person, and therefore, he has more questions in his heart.
What is going on in Wangjiagou? They always break the rules. All the educated youth are strong men, and the women and children are no longer the weaklings known to the public. There are too many legendary geniuses.
It is said that there is a branch of modern medicine called anatomy. I really want to... cough cough cough, stop.
Ye Yu walked in front with empty hands, and she threw all her backpack to Wang Danniu.
Wang Danniu had asked for it on her own initiative in the first place, and was extremely happy when her master responded. She quickly put the basket of food on her back and picked up another bag of food.
Not to mention carrying someone on her back, even if Ye Yu asked Wang Danniu to carry her on his back, she would be happy to accept it. On the contrary, if she was not allowed to do anything, she would be sad and at a loss. I don't know how she developed this personality. She will suffer if she hangs out in the outside world.
Fortunately, Wang Danniu's personality was only directed at her mother and master. Hua Feifei didn't care after confirming the three of them. As long as Wang Danniu was happy and it didn't affect her growth, it was fine.
The villagers also understood that this was just the beginning. As an apprentice, of course, he should serve his master for three years. There is an old saying that goes, "Once a teacher, always a father."
Besides, they have seen the changes in Wang Da Niu. She is now stronger than an adult man. They want to learn from Ye Yu. What's the big deal about carrying a backpack?!
Only the newcomers are unaware of the situation and don't understand.
But even if they had objections, no one would pay attention to them. They didn't have the energy to object. Their backs were sore and their legs were weak. They couldn't even help the children and slowly fell to the back.
When they arrived at the educated youth site, Hua Feifei and Xu Fei went to the kitchen to busy themselves. Han Jing lit a bonfire in the yard, and Ye Yu also lit a bunch of mugwort that he had brought from somewhere, as the mosquitoes in the mountains in spring and summer were too annoying.
By the warm and bright light of the fire, the ten newcomers saw where they would live tonight.
Better than they thought.
There are rows of red walls and black tiles, bedrooms, kitchens, small living rooms, toilets and bathrooms. Although they are small, they have everything.
Even Han Jing, who had the best conditions among them, could not occupy such a spacious and bright yard with his own family. There were two rows of newly planted green trees in front of the yard, half an acre of lush green land in the yard, the underside of the grape trellis, and the wooden piles, everything was clean and in order.
Three chickens were walking in the yard with their chests puffed out. One of them had grown fatter and was quarreling with a bird. Would it be too lively for it to jump up and peck at the bird?
Hua Feifei introduced: "No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3 are the chickens we raise. This one doesn't count as a reserve chicken. It flew here on its own. Although it's a sparrow, it only catches bugs and doesn't steal food. It's not considered one of the four pests. It can also help feed the chickens."
They really couldn't understand how sparrows fed chickens.
Just as they were thinking this, they saw a sparrow holding a caterpillar in its mouth and feeding half of it to a chicken. The chicken with the largest circle also fed half of a caterpillar to another chicken. It seemed like the two chickens were competing with each other?
“…”
The world is so big that there are all kinds of wonders.
Before coming here, Mr. Lin said that the paradise on earth was just a joke, but after seeing the Youth League Home like this, he suddenly realized that the paradise on earth is nothing more than this.
Han Jing led them to the room where they would stay tonight.
Zhang Qingdai, Xie Danhong and Hua Feifei lived together in a big room. Although Hua Feifei had been angry with Ye Yu because of the choice of room, she felt a little uncomfortable with having two more roommates. She even envied Ye Yu's small room.
No way, it’s just an illusion.
Hao Jianshan lives in a room in the east house, which is his permanent residence. Han Jing said that there is an old carpenter with excellent craftsmanship in the village, and he can ask him to help make some cabinets, shelves and the like every other day. There are also many aunties and grandmothers in the village who are good at bamboo and rattan weaving, and they can buy some daily necessities.
By the way, they originally learned these from Ye Yu, who understood life better than them.
As for the remaining seven people who were staying there temporarily, Xiang Yan, Xiang Xingxing and Bai Rongrong also lived on the big kang in the west room, while the others chose to share two rooms in the east room.
They will move out tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
Han Jing promised to help and said that Hua Feifei was an expert in raising pigs and was most familiar with the pigpen.
Hua Feifei, who was trimming green onions in the yard, immediately responded after hearing this: "The newly built pig pen is not completely used for raising pigs. It uses new bricks and is more solid than our educated youth camp. It just may need to be divided and kept ventilated."
Also, although it is spring now and far from winter, we should not be careless about making the kang.
Grandpa Lin's son and Grandpa Xiang's son both said that they were too much trouble. If it weren't for these four young people, they might not be able to stay at the educated youth center tonight. Grandpa Ou's son was the least good at speaking, and after holding it in for a long time, he said something asking his grandson to repay him well.
Han Jing shook his head and smiled: "It's nothing, it's just a piece of cake."
Mr. Lin and the others did not think that this was a piece of cake. To Xiang Yan, it was a life-saving grace. She touched her forehead, which had already subsided from the fever, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and silently squeezed her daughter's hand.
After a while, Hua Feifei and Xu Fei's meal was ready.
Because there were so many people, the staple food was still sweet potatoes and miscellaneous grains. We cooked eight or nine corns, one for each child and one for the patient, and the rest was elm.
Hua Feifei also made mashed potatoes, fried potato shreds, and fried potato pancakes. Potatoes are easy to grow and inexpensive, so there are many ways to make them.
The dish here has fresh spring bamboo shoots, fried with some bacon, and fried eggs with Chinese toon, which is a delicious dish.
The spicy dried radish can be eaten right away, it is simple but tasty enough; the cold-mixed amaranth, prickly ash sprouts, goose intestines, wood ear mushrooms, etc. are all wild vegetables from the mountains. Even the picked sprouts will have some astringent taste, even bitter or sour, but Hua Feifei is willing to add more ingredients and really cook it as a vegetable rather than a wild vegetable to fill the stomach. Whether spicy or not, it tastes pretty good.
There was also blood sausage and a big pot of stewed chicken soup with a lot of vegetables in it.
To be honest, this is a little light for Ye Yu's daily diet.
The problem is that the dinner party has been confirmed tonight, so it is not appropriate to set up a separate table for Ye Yu. Besides, there are too many people, and they cannot rely on Ye Yu alone to pay for the meals for so many people. Ye Yu is not a generous person either.
Besides, there are many people and they may talk too much, so they are afraid that the news will leak out.
Hua Feifei blinked at Ye Yu, and Ye Yu blinked back at her.
Except for Han Jing and Xu Fei, no one else knew what the two of them were doing. For everyone else, this meal was already very rich.
There are vegetables and meat, chicken and meat. Even during the Chinese New Year, the food couldn’t be better than this.
For the seven people who were sent to the farm, they had not smelled meat for nearly a year. While Hua Feifei and Xu Fei were still cooking, they could not help drooling in the yard and their stomachs rumbled.
As soon as the meal was served.
At the word "eat", the little girl who knew nothing looked for the most fragrant and delicious bacon, opened it, and ate it with sweet potato rice in big mouthfuls, her cheeks bulging with food.
Hua Feifei was afraid that she would choke, so she filled her enamel cup with chicken soup so that she could share it with Bai Rongrong who was busy cooking.
Xiang Xingxing drank the chicken soup and was really mesmerized by the delicious taste. He gulped down several mouthfuls before stopping and pushing it to Bai Rongrong: "Sister, sister, eat it!"
Bai Rongrong took a sip and pushed it back in silence. The two sisters did not argue over the bowl of chicken soup. Instead, they pushed it back and forth, making Hua Feifei sigh at how sensible they were.
The adults were rather reserved, and so was the teenage boy Ouliang, who refused to pick up any meat, only potatoes and wild vegetables, and kept saying they were delicious.
It is indeed delicious, but not as good as meat.
Hua Feifei, Han Jing, and Xu Fei urged them vigorously, but they refused vigorously. At the end, they might have picked up a little bit of shredded meat, stuffed it into their mouths carefully, chewed it for dozens of times, and nodded in approval.
Mr. Lin also brought up traditional Chinese medicine and said that their stomachs had not been exposed to oily foods for too long and that they should not eat too much as it was bad for their spleen and stomach and might cause diarrhea.
This is true, but it is not just a matter of one or two strands of meat.
It was a rather sad celebration banquet.
After dinner, they tidied up the room. Needless to say, the three educated youth, Hao Jianshan, Zhang Qingdai and Xie Dan, had brought their own luggage with them, including quilts and everything else.
The quilts of the other seven people were not really quilts. Not only were they thin and had many patches on them, they were also hard and cold as iron.
Ye Yu happened to have so much fur that he didn't know what to do with it, so he gave some blankets to the Xiang family, Mr. Lin, and Bai Rongrong. Each family had one blanket, and the Ou family had two since there were many of them.
Mr. Lin:
"How can this be possible?"
Eat their food, live in their houses, and now let them use their precious blankets.
Little did they know that this was not a loan at all, Ye Yu was planning to give it to them: "Don't throw it in the trash can."
Without giving anyone a chance to speak, she just turned around and walked away, and no one could catch up with her.
“…”
Hua Feifei, Han Jing and Xu Fei all said: "Ye Yu has such a stubborn temper. If you don't want her, she will really be thrown out like garbage." They persuaded them to accept it.
Several people were jealous again, tears as big as beans fell from their eyes with rich emotions. They didn't know how many times they were moved that day.
Even the youngest, Xiang Xingxing, knows that these older brothers and sisters are very nice. She doesn't mind being touched on the head by Hua Feifei, Han Jing, and Xu Fei, and she even stares at the pretty older sister who can soar high.
Seeing this scene, Hao Jianshan, Zhang Qingdai and Xie Danhong were also a little moved, but more of them were envious. However, they knew that Ye Yu would not give them a quilt each since they already had one.
After spending the day together, some people's impression of the five black categories has changed. At least the seven people they met were not vicious and evil bad guys.
