Chapter 21: Busy Farming Season



Ma Liang brought three roasted sweet potatoes and three roasted potatoes.

It was indeed not a good thing, but they were happy to eat it, even though the sweet potatoes had more tendons and were not as soft, sticky and sweet as those in later generations, and the potatoes were tasteless, and they even felt a little choked when eating them.

But they were very happy, and Ma Liang was even happier that his sisters did not dislike the things in his house.

After more than ten days of harvesting, all the educated youth, except Gu Zuozuo, were exhausted like dogs. They collapsed at the educated youth camp and were too tired to move.

After harvesting wheat, they harvested rice, after harvesting rice, they harvested corn, after harvesting corn, they harvested sweet potatoes, and after harvesting sweet potatoes, they harvested peanuts. Under this intensity of labor every day, Meng Tian and Qi Meng, who were not fat to begin with, became even thinner. Even a few milk fruits a day could not make their lost milk fat grow back. This made Gu Zuozuo very regretful, as he could no longer pinch the soft and elastic flesh that felt great.

After finishing the work in the fields, all that remains is threshing, drying, winnowing, bagging, and then transporting the grain to the grain station for delivery.

The subsequent grain delivery had nothing to do with them. Only the village elders went with them, and the rest of the people began to prepare for winter.

That night, when Gu Zuozuo came back strolling around carrying a dead rabbit, the entire educated youth site was in an uproar.

Meat!

That's meat!

It has been a long time since they last ate meat. The last time they ate meat seemed to be during the Chinese New Year when they distributed meat.

"Gu Zhiqing, where did you get the rabbit?"

When talking about rabbits, Jiang Yiyan almost drooled, her eyes fixed on the fat wild rabbit in Gu Zuozuo's hand.

Wow, this must be 6 or 7 pounds, right? So fat!

As a Sichuanese, when she saw the rabbit, she started to think of rabbit recipes.

"Caught in the mountains."

Upon hearing this, the female educated youth felt a little depressed. There were many things on the mountain, but they didn't dare to go there because there were wild boars and big insects there.

"Gu Zhiqing, everything on the mountain belongs to the collective. It's not right for you to occupy collective property like this, right?"

The ill intentions on Ye Hua's face were clearly revealed, and he did not try to hide his malice at all.

Gu Zuozuo sneered and looked at him with extreme contempt.

A grown man who keeps staring at this and that all the time is more annoying than those gossipy women in the village.

"Then don't use firewood from the mountains, and don't eat mushrooms and wild vegetables. Those are also collective property. If you eat them, you're taking advantage of the collective!"

Ye Hua choked. Is this what he meant?

Gu Zuozuo just left after arguing with the man. She was a loser if she looked at the man for even a second longer.

After handing the rabbit to Qi Meng and the other man, she left it alone. Who could believe that the seemingly soft Qi Meng could peel a rabbit skin without batting an eyelid, and chop the meat into pieces neatly and cleanly without any delay. I don't know how many people were shocked when she moved the knife.

Unlike her, she can only cook instant noodles and boil eggs, and she really can't cook anything else.

The aroma of meat for dinner made many people salivate. A bowl was sent to the female educated youth, and the three of them closed the door and started to feast on it, not caring at all about the eager looks of the male educated youth next door.

"Humph! What's the big deal? Let's go catch rabbits tomorrow! I don't believe that if a woman like her can catch one, we grown men can't!"

Ye Hua threw the bowl in anger and turned back to his room.

Kan Lei lowered his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking. He did not try to persuade her, but just ate his meal quietly.

Seeing that he didn't move, the others stopped talking. The table was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

On the female educated youth's side, Zhu Xiaoxiao held a piece of meat with a rich meaty aroma in her mouth and squinted her eyes happily.

"I didn't expect Meng Zhiqing's cooking skills to be so good. It smells so good!"

The other educated youth also nodded. They cherished every bite. In the past, a meal would be finished in less than ten minutes, but this time it took them half an hour.

At the Ma family's house, Ma Liang carefully removed the bones of the chicken and placed the stewed chicken in his grandmother's bowl. He held back his saliva and placed the full bowl of chicken in front of his grandmother.

"Grandma, come and eat. This is the pheasant my sister Zuo Zuo sent over. Come and try it and see if it tastes good."

In Grandma Ma’s blurred vision was her grandson’s blurry face, but even though she couldn’t see it, she still reached out and touched her grandson’s head with a loving tone.

"We can't accept Gu Zhiqing's things for nothing. She has had a hard time. Help her collect some dry firewood tomorrow. They just arrived and may not have prepared anything for the winter yet. It's urgent to remind them."

Ma Liang nodded, and when he took the first bite of the meat which still had a slight fishy smell, tears suddenly fell from his eyes. Afraid that his grandmother would hear and worry, Ma Liang buried his head deeply in the bowl, and swallowed the meaty dishes in the bowl mouthful by mouthful while holding back his sobs.

Little Ma Liang swore in his heart that when he grew up, he would repay Sister Gu, Sister Qi and Sister Meng!

The next day, before dawn, Gu Zuozuo woke up on time. He didn't get up in a hurry, but just lay quietly on the bed, sorting out the things he had signed in for the past half month.

"Klas, why are all the things signed in for the past half month useless?"

Most of them are specialty fruits and meats from various worlds. The only two useful things are a bow and arrow and a box of nutrient solution.

[Host, this is a matter of probability, I can't make the decision.]

If it could make the decision, it would just enable all the hidden functions for the host. Why would it have to accumulate points bit by bit? It's not like it has nothing better to do.

Gu Zuozuo snorted, got up from the bed quietly, washed up, and disappeared on the spot with a tap of his toes.

The man who had just come out of the toilet holding up his pants stared at the flying black shadow in amazement. His hands loosened and his pants, which were not tied at the waist, slipped down again without him noticing. He just moved back to his dormitory trembling and fearfully, hiding himself in the quilt, biting the corner of the quilt and crying.

Mom! He saw a ghost!

A dark shadow flew across the deep mountains in the early morning, startling countless birds and beasts.

A slender figure stood on a thick branch, with the bow and arrow in her hand drawn into a crescent shape, and her sharp eyes were fixed on the wild boar feeding not far away.

[Host! Come on!]

Klas was waving a handkerchief in his hand and jumping back and forth excitedly in the system, almost doing a yangge dance.

Gu Zuozuo ignored the noise in his mind and fixed his attention on the wild boar. The moment it raised its head, the arrow that had been ready in his hand shot out at a rapid speed.

hold head high!

The wild boar screamed in pain, and the intense pain made it keep hitting the big tree beside it, and blood splattered everywhere.

The wild boar's screams attracted the attention of other wild boars, and they rushed over, roaring.

Gu Zuozuo was not in a hurry. She stood there and shot arrow after arrow. Except for two that were too small, she had wiped out the entire herd of wild boars.

【Host! Sell it?】

Gu Zuozuo kept one weighing about 200 kilograms and sold the rest to Klas.

Kras was spinning in circles with excitement. Although the technology in the host's plane was not well developed, some things were truly original and extremely popular in the system mall.
