When He Ting arrived at Han Wanying's house, Han Wanying had already packed up the pheasant.
As soon as He Ting arrived, Han Wanying handed the pheasant to her. Because it was getting late and time to prepare for dinner, Han Wanying did not keep He Ting.
He Ting took the things to the kitchen. It was Li Zhaodi and Shi Lei's turn to cook today, but Wang Yan was helping inside. When she saw He Ting bring back half a chicken, her face was very excited.
They hadn't eaten meat since the autumn harvest. Although He Ting was rich, she had no chance to go to the county to buy meat.
Because He Ting occasionally paid for their extra meals, and He Ting was not very good at cooking, she usually didn't have to work. Among them, Li Zhaodi did the most work.
Li Zhaodi's family was the poorest among the group, so she had no money to buy food, so she wanted to work harder.
Seeing the meat in He Ting's hand, Li Zhaodi took it and asked, "He Zhiqing, where did you get this? Did you pay for it?"
He Ting shook her head. "This is what Comrade Han and I found when we were collecting firewood in the mountains. Comrade Han gave me half of it."
Wang Yan looked at the pheasant that Li Zhaodi was processing, swallowed her saliva and said, "Comrade Han is such a good person."
Tonight, a few of them pooled their money to buy a piece of meat and brought back half a pheasant. Before it was even cooked, the people in the kitchen started drooling like crazy.
Zhao Tao and Huang Xue also smelled the scent. They didn't eat together anymore, but chose to eat at the villagers' homes.
Naturally, there is nothing delicious in the villagers' homes, and even if there is, it will not be served to them. Only if they buy good food and cook it for the villagers' homes may they get something to eat.
But she couldn't eat much, because when it came to the dinner table, she couldn't compete with the villagers' family for food. So Huang Xue didn't buy any good food to cook later, and now she hasn't eaten meat for a long time.
When the two came out, He Ting and the others' meal was served.
Huang Xue looked at the food they were eating, which included meat and roast chicken, and then thought about what she had eaten. She couldn't help but feel a little resentful. If they hadn't stopped eating together, she wouldn't have not tasted meat for so long.
Zhao Tao also looked at the meat on the table with shining eyes and said to Shi Lei, "Comrade Shi, after all, we are all educated youth in this team. You are eating well, but you didn't call us. You are trying to isolate us."
Huang Xue also said, "Yes, you are destroying the unity of our educated youth camp. I think it would be better if we just didn't eat separately."
Shi Lei's face turned pale after being told this. How could he not know what these two people were thinking? But he was the person in charge of the educated youth site, so he couldn't say anything.
He Ting scoffed and said, "Now we're thinking about unity. I bought the meat and chicken, so I give them to whoever I want. I don't want to give them to you. If you eat them, it's considered infringing on someone else's property. If you really want to grab them, I can't do anything about it. I'll just have to explain the situation to the captain."
"It seems that one of you really likes unity. You want to see our former educated youth comrade Zhang Jia so soon. I don't mind sending you to accompany her."
When the two heard this, their thoughts were half relieved. Before leaving, Huang Xue glared at He Ting fiercely.
The remaining people only started eating after seeing the two annoying guys leave.
After working for a few days, it was time to hibernate.
Han Wanying took advantage of this time to quickly knit the wool she bought into sweaters and scarves, and processed the wolf skin.
Finally, before it got too cold, the coats and sweaters made of wolf skin were successfully delivered to the cowshed.
Han Wanying thought that the temperature would drop at night, so she delivered the things during the day when there were fewer people around.
However, when Han Wanying went there, there were only Lin Lin and Xu Shu in the cowshed, and they were both knitting.
The two did not expect someone to come at this time, and were startled. They quickly hid the things in their hands, and only breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that it was Han Wanying.
Lin Lin packed up his things, stood up and said, "Han girl, why are you here?"
Han Wanying was not surprised to see the wool in Lin Lin and the others' hands. She guessed that it was sent by He Zhen.
Han Wanying put down her things and said, "I thought it would get colder, so I prepared some winter supplies for you."
Lin Lin looked at the huge bag and said, "Sorry to bother you again. We can still use last year's. Why bother with this?"
Han Wanying said, "Last year we had cotton clothes and quilts, but this year it's different. I think it will be much colder this year, so you should pay attention to keeping warm."
Lin Lin and Xu Shu nodded.
Xu Shu thought of something and took out a package and handed it to Han Wanying.
Han Wanying took the bundle and opened it, only to find a scarf, gloves, and a sweater inside.
Han Wanying touched the thing, which was exactly the coral fleece yarn she had bought last time she went to the county, except that these were red.
Han Wanying didn't know what to say when she looked at the package, but she felt a bitter feeling in her heart, thinking that these elders were the ones who suffered the most and were the most tired, yet they always thought of her when they had good things.
Han Wanying said, "Thank you, aunts. You should prepare everything for yourself and Fang Lin. I have everything I need."
Lin Lin smiled and said, "You don't need anything. You don't say anything. We don't know how you're doing. We don't have much ability right now, so we just want to give you the best and treat you well."
Xu Shu also added, "I asked He Zhen to buy this for us. He Zhen was giving it to your grandfather Wan, and it was black. So he took out all his savings and bought you a brighter color so we could knit you a sweater."
"He's so stubborn, he insists on taking the money himself and won't even consider sharing any of the cost with us."
As she spoke, Xu Shu wiped her eyes and said, "Your Grandpa Wan, even though you always look disgusted every time you come, he is probably the one who looks forward to your coming the most. He always comes to see you when the time comes."
Lin Lin also said, "Then we scraped together a little more money and thought about knitting a matching scarf and gloves. Bright colors suit little girls, so you shouldn't wear white all day."
After hearing this, Han Wanying tightened her grip around the bundle and said, "Thank you, Auntie. I like it very much."
When Lin Lin and Xu Shu heard Han Wanying's words, they both smiled and nodded, "That's good, that's good."
Han Wanying saw that the things had been delivered, and thinking that it was daytime again, she decided to go back first.
Han Wanying thought that everything had been prepared in the cowshed and that this winter should be over soon. Unexpectedly, something happened in the cowshed in the afternoon.
