Zheng Anguo felt relieved when Qin Qingman said that she had it figured out. After thinking for a while, he reminded her, "Zhao Chunjing's father is the leader of the county revolutionary committee. He has a lot of say. You should be careful and don't let him have any leverage over you."
Qin Qingman knew that Zheng Anguo really cared about her, so she asked directly: "Uncle Zheng, logically speaking, the commune organization committee members should not have assistants. So, is Zhao Chunjing incapable of working or is she just lazy and not working?"
She knew that Zhao Chunjing must have gotten into the commune through connections, but she didn't know how capable this person was at work.
Zheng Anguo had long guessed that Qin Qingman would ask such a question, and he also knew that Qin Qingman had seen the problem in the office, so he explained in a low voice: "It's not that Zhao Chunjing is incompetent, she just doesn't like to do trivial things, so now she has an assistant, which is ridiculous."
"Zhao Chunjing is smart and not stupid. Qingman, you have to be careful. Although she doesn't work much in the commune, she can firmly grasp the power of the organization committee member. Before you came, she also interfered with the jurisdiction of the women's director." Qian Xiangyang also gave some advice.
Qin Qingman understood why Zheng Guihua could not be re-elected.
It would be a miracle if Zheng Anguo and Qian Xiangyang could allow Zheng Guihua to be re-elected when such an idiot who had lost his power was still obsessed with eating commercial food.
"Qingman girl, if Zhao Chunjing hadn't been so poorly educated, her position would have been changed long ago."
Zheng Anguo then pointed out the key point to Qin Qingman.
"Uncle Zheng, I understand." Qin Qingman has never looked down on anyone. She knows that these people must have their own abilities to be able to thrive in this era.
"Qingman, don't be afraid. You just entered the commune and they don't dare to deal with you openly. If anything really happens, the secretary and I will protect you. Just don't make any mistakes in your work." Qian Xiangyang was very optimistic about Qin Qingman. He believed that after he said this, Qin Qingman would definitely understand how to behave in the commune in the future.
"Uncle Qian, I understand."
Qin Qingman was very respectful to the two seniors.
Zheng Anguo and Qian Xiangyang both knew that Qin Qingman was smart. When smart people say they understand, they really understand, so there is no need for them to say too much.
After all, it is easy to make mistakes by talking too much in this era.
As a result, the people on the sled stopped talking about things in the commune and started teasing Chuchu instead.
Chuchu is six years old this year and can go to school. When the snow melts in spring, she can go to school with her friends in the village.
Speaking of going to school, Zheng Anguo and Qian Xiangyang looked serious.
"I have been considering whether to apply to build a primary school in our Kaoshan Village. Otherwise, the children have to go to town to study. It is too far. It takes us half an hour to get to town by sled. It takes the children at least an hour and a half to walk to school, and that's still fast." Zheng Anguo frowned.
He really loves the children.
Qian Xiangyang was helpless. "Our Kaoshantun is not too far from the town. It's OK for adults to walk there once, but for young children, they have to walk there several times a day. It's really energy-consuming and time-consuming."
At this time, Qin Qingman also recalled the original owner's situation when she was studying.
Although they only have one school year due to climate reasons, this school term lasts for half a year. For half a year, you have to get up early and return late every day. If you can't come back for lunch, you have to bring your meals to school.
Thinking of the cold rice that the original owner had eaten, Qin Qingman suddenly became worried about Chuchu's schooling.
Everyone in the family will have to go to work in the future. Although it is convenient to send Chuchu to school because the elementary school is in town, she feels distressed when she thinks that Chuchu will have to eat cold rice at noon every day.
Eating cold rice frequently can easily hurt your stomach.
"Uncle Zheng, can our village apply for a primary school?" Qin Qingman also hoped that Chuchu could go to school nearby.
Even if the mountains are closed due to heavy snow and people cannot go to school, it is not easy to only run in summer and autumn.
"I think it's a bit difficult." Zheng Anguo himself was not very confident.
Because their Kaoshan Village is a bit far from the town, very few children can persist in studying until high school.
When Qin Qingman heard Zheng Anguo's answer, she couldn't help but glance at Chuchu who was leaning against her.
"Sister, I'm not afraid of getting up early. I can get up early."
Chuchu comforted Qin Qingman in turn. Since he started exercising with Wei Ling, he has been getting up early every morning. After a few months, he has become accustomed to it.
"Yeah." Qin Qingman reached out and touched the child's head. At the same time, she thought of the XXX Division Family Area that would be built after the snow melted in the spring. The establishment of the family area would definitely take into account the schooling of the children of military personnel.
I just don't know if Chuchu meets the criteria for attending a children's school.
Since Zheng Anguo and his friends were talking about applying to build a school, they started to talk a lot. "Actually, it's easy to apply to build a primary school. We have vacant houses in our village. We can clean them up and turn them into a school."
Qin Qingman was also familiar with the village. After thinking for a while, she said, "Uncle Zheng, are you talking about the educated youth camp?"
There was a place for educated youth in their village, but it had never received any educated youth, so it had been vacant for many years.
The house is vacant, but the property is good.
"Yes, it's the educated youth center." Qian Xiangyang took over the conversation and continued: "In fact, the housing issue is really not a big deal. The main thing is that talented people are hard to find. Those who can teach must be intellectuals, but here we..."
Zheng Anguo and Qian Xiangyang sighed at the same time.
It's not that they don't have intellectuals. Just look at the large number of educated youth in Hongqi Farm and you'll know how many intellectuals there are in Hongqi Town.
Originally, the educated youth who came to the border areas could provide great help in education, but the local people did not prepare to let them teach, but instead let them participate in labor and earn work points.
Most of the educated youth had average physical fitness. Those who were supposed to do mental work had to do physical work. If someone was in poor physical condition, they couldn't even support themselves with the work points they earned. This was really putting the cart before the horse.
"Uncle Zheng?" Qin Qingman also found it strange.
Normally speaking, the educated youth here were sent to support the border areas. Supporting the border areas did not necessarily mean working in the fields. They could support education, government agencies, and even all walks of life could absorb these knowledgeable educated youth. After all, the educated youth sent to the border areas were different from those in other places.
But in the end, the treatment of educated youth here was the same as that in other parts of the country.
Zheng Anguo knew what Qin Qingman wanted to ask from her eyes, and said helplessly, "Revolutionary Committee."
Qin Qingman understood.
"We are considered lucky. Most of the educated youth who arrived were arranged to work in various farms. If they were in other places, they would almost all be arranged to work in various production teams, villages, and towns. That is the real going to the countryside." Qian Xiangyang added helplessly.
Qin Qingman immediately understood the real role of Fang Mingjie, the president of Hongqi Commune.
"I hope our commune can truly develop." Qin Qingman is a person who came from later generations. He knows the importance of talents best. Knowledge is power, and this is not just a slogan.
"I also think that some educated youth should be allowed to play a real role instead of just digging, plowing and growing crops in the fields." Zheng Anguo understood the true meaning of Qin Qingman's words.
The longer he spent with Qin Qingman, the more he realized how smart Qin Qingman was.
It's like he was born to be a bureaucrat. He doesn't need to say many things too clearly, as they are understood immediately. This kind of communication makes people very comfortable, and there is no need to worry about saying something bad. After all, some things can be done by intuition.
As the group discussed education issues, the sky gradually darkened.
When we were almost at Kaoshantun, the kerosene lamps on the sled were lit. With the illumination of the kerosene lamps, we were instantly filled with a warm feeling.
It was cold, and when we arrived at Kaoshantun, everyone didn't gather together, but went home separately.
I have to go to work the next day.
Qin Qingman brought Huang Wanqing, Chuchu, and the naughty boy with her. Before they even entered the house, they were surprised by the countless gifts placed in the yard.
These were things that farmers could afford at this season; they were not expensive, but they represented everyone’s congratulations to Qin Qingman on her election as the commune’s women’s director.
"Sister, there are so many things."
Chuchu looked through the gifts in the willow baskets of various sizes. There were a handful of dried vegetables, a few radishes, potatoes, eggs, and even tofu and bean sprouts. They were all the simplest gifts.
"Move everything back home and put the things in the cellar. Wash the willow basket and dry it. I'll steam some three-grain steamed buns as a return gift and then put the willow basket back in the yard."
Qin Qingman directed the two people at home to take action.
Many people gave gifts today, and half of the yard was filled with them. It can be said that everyone in the village gave gifts to their family.
The gift is not valuable, but the friendship is great. These willow baskets must be returned.
Huang Wanqing and Chuchu took action immediately after hearing this. Qin Qingman also quickly lit the stove, rolled up her sleeves and started working.
The temperature in her house is high, so it is easier to ferment the flour.
While Qin Qingman was busy in the kitchen, Huang Wanqing was also cleaning the willow baskets. In order to put the food in, the bottom of the baskets had to be cleaned, so she fetched water from the well to rinse the baskets. As for Chuchu, she went to milk the sheep.
Chuchu was very small, and Huang Wanqing was worried about the child staying by the well, so she sent someone to milk her.
The family raises sheep, and milking is a daily necessity, so someone has to do it. As a result, everyone in the Qin family gets busy as soon as they get home.
The well was close to the kitchen, so Qin Qingman and Huang Wanqing were busy working while talking in low voices.
Huang Wanqing had overheard the conversation between Qin Qingman and Zheng Anguo on the sled before, and knew that these commune cadres were determined to improve the treatment and working environment of the educated youth. As an educated youth, she was the first to support it.
"Qingman, do you really think you can improve the work of educated youth?"
Huang Wanqing spent a lot of time on the farm, but to be honest, she was not that passionate about the work there.
The main reason is that the farm is actually also a small social group, where many people are scheming against each other based on the theories of the Revolutionary Committee. If anyone is disobedient or refuses to submit to management, they will be sent to do the dirtiest and most tiring work.
There is no fairness in this.
They are building a farm, not a labor camp farm, but now it doesn't seem that different from a labor camp farm. No wonder so many educated youth who come here keep their mouths shut and say nothing, just burying their heads in work.
The emperor is far away and the sky is high. Without strong people to protect you, life is really hard.
Qin Qingman was kneading dough. When she heard Huang Wanqing's question, she knew that Huang Wanqing felt the same way because of her experience on the farm before. After thinking for a while, she replied, "It takes time and opportunity."
This year is only 71 years old, and there are still five years until the end of the decade. Time is not short, and an individual cannot resist the national situation.
Huang Wanqing also knew how complicated the national situation was at the moment. She felt more at peace staying in Kaoshantun. With Wei Ling and Qin Qingman protecting her, she felt more comfortable than living in the capital.
"By the way, Qingman, I received a letter from my family."
Huang Wanqing suddenly remembered something and quickly told Qin Qingman.
"It's a good thing." Qin Qingman knew more than Huang Wanqing. As Huang Wanqing had just received the letter from her family, she felt that the Huang family did not seem to value Huang Wanqing that much.
"Wanqing, my family didn't send me a letter today. They sent me a letter last year, and they sent it several times. They even sent me some money and food coupons along with the letters." Huang Wanqing looked at Qin Qingman with burning eyes.
Qin Qingman frowned slightly, "Are you saying that someone intercepted your letter?"
"Yes, I have never received a letter from home before. I just received it this morning." Huang Wanqing said this, wiped the water off her hands, and then took out an opened letter from her clothes and handed it to Qin Qingman.
If she had not returned to the village with Zheng Anguo and others, she would have taken out the letter and shown it to Qin Qingman long ago.
Qin Qingman was not polite in response to Huang Wanqing's trust. She took the letter and started reading.
The person who wrote to Huang Wanqing was Huang Haijun, Huang Wanqing's eldest brother. In the letter, he complained about why Huang Wanqing had never replied to any of their letters. He also wrote that last year, after discovering that Huang Wanqing had changed her place of work in the countryside without permission, her brother came to Baicheng to look for her under the beatings of his father.
Huang Haijun did not explicitly say that something happened when he went to find Qi Weiying, but simply said that something unexpected happened on the way and he had to return to the capital as soon as possible.
After returning to Beijing, he and his family continued to write letters to Huang Wanqing.
Every letter fell on deaf ears.
In the letter, Huang Haijun said that he would come to Kaoshantun to see Huang Wanqing in a few days. This shows that although no one from the Huang family came to see Huang Wanqing during this period, they still knew about Huang Wanqing's situation in Hongqi Town.
"Your brother is coming to Kaoshantun?"
Qin Qingman had heard Wei Ling talk about the Huang family and also knew about Qi Weiying. She had never expected that Huang Wanqing's elder brother would choose this time to come to Kaoshantun.
It is not known whether Qi Weiying's matter has come to a conclusion, or the Huang family has stabilized its foundation in the capital, otherwise Huang Haijun would not have been able to come to Kaoshantun at this time.
"Qingman, I didn't receive any letters or telegrams from home before. I thought my family blamed me for running to Baicheng and ignored me, so I held my breath and didn't take the initiative to contact them, but I received this letter today..."
Huang Wanqing became a little suspicious. She knew that someone must have blocked her letter, but she didn't know who it was.
"You can report it to the police and have them check it out."
Qin Qingman felt it necessary to investigate the Red Flag Farm.
If Huang Wanqing's letter was intercepted or opened privately, it would contain money and grain coupons in addition to the letter. The person who intercepted Huang Wanqing's letter privately would have violated the law and should be dealt with according to the law.
If the letter was not opened privately but hidden, it would also explain a lot of problems.
"Qingman, I will report to the police tomorrow." Huang Wanqing trusted Qin Qingman very much and believed in Qin Qingman's intuition.
"By the way, Wanqing, how did you receive this letter?" Qin Qingman waved the letter in her hand. If someone on the farm intercepted Huang Wanqing's family letter, then this letter should not have appeared in Huang Wanqing's hands.
"This was handed to me by the manager when I passed by the mail room today." Huang Wanqing explained honestly.
"New director?" Qin Qingman knew that Hongqi Farm had a new director at the beginning of the year.
"Yes, the new farm manager's surname is Hu, his name is Hu Ziqiang, and he just arrived at the farm at the beginning of the year." Huang Wanqing reported to Qin Qingman without hiding anything.
"Then go to the mailroom of your farm tomorrow and ask if your letter is still there. Have someone look for it carefully. If it's not found, don't say anything and report it to the police directly. If it's found, take the letter and leave without saying a word." Qin Qingman instructed Huang Wanqing.
"Qingman, do you think it's possible that that bastard Zhao Tiancheng had someone intercept my letter?"
It's not Huang Wanqing's fault for thinking this way. The main reason is that Zhao Tiancheng was very extreme when he pursued her before. It's not surprising for such an extreme person to intercept other people's letters.
"It could be him, it could be Wu Weimin, or it could be someone else."
Qin Qingman really couldn't say who intercepted Huang Wanqing's letter.
"Then I'll do as you say tomorrow." Huang Wanqing said this with great anxiety, "Qingman, my brother said he would come to Kaoshantun in a few days. I'm worried that he will cause trouble for you. How about I move to the farm dormitory?"
"You think your brother doesn't know about your situation here?"
Qin Qingman looked at Huang Wanqing in surprise.
Huang Wanqing blushed and said embarrassedly: "I guess he must have known, otherwise he wouldn't have said he would come to Kaoshantun to find me. Don't I just don't want to trouble you?" She was worried that her brother's coming would cause trouble for Qin Qingman.
"I asked the secretary to lend me the educated youth site."
Wei Ling was not at home, so Qin Qingman really couldn't let Huang Wanqing's brother stay overnight at her house. When he came, she would have to do her best to show her courtesy as a good host.
"I'll go clean up." Huang Wanqing offered to help.
"Okay, you go and clean it up." Qin Qingman had to go to work now and definitely didn't have much time, so she agreed to Huang Wanqing's suggestion.
"Sister, I have squeezed the goat's milk."
While Qin Qingman was talking to Huang Wanqing, Chuchu came back with the wolf cub and a milk bucket. No milk was squeezed at noon, so this time she squeezed a big bucket.
"Chu Chu, boil the goat milk."
Qin Qingman instructed Chuchu.
The ewes have been raised in their family for quite some time, and they won't be away from them for long. When the snow melts in the spring, the sheep will have to be returned to the team, and then they will have no goat milk to drink.
Drink more goat milk while you still have it.
Nowadays, everyone’s body is lacking in nutrition. It won’t be a problem if you drink more goat’s milk every day.
Chuchu received Qin Qingman's instructions and hurried to the hall to boil milk. Huang Wanqing then went to the well to wash the willow basket, and Qin Qingman also started to steam the steamed buns.
She didn't make small steamed buns, but directly made big steamed buns.
I planned to put a big steamed bun in a willow basket as a return gift. A steamed bun with three dough sticks is not expensive and is just the right gift for people in the village.
Because there were so many steamed buns, Qin Qingman and the others hadn't finished steaming them until after dinner.
I was busy for another two hours in the evening before I finished making the return gifts and put them into the willow basket one by one.
At this time, Qin Qingman and the others did not put the willow baskets back into the yard, but planned to put them in the yard again early tomorrow morning. The people in the village would then take their own willow baskets home.
There were so many willow baskets that Qin Qingman and the others couldn't tell which one belonged to which family.
But the owner will definitely recognize it.
The next day, Qin Qingman and Huang Wanqing both got up very early. After getting up, they did not tidy up and go to work, but steamed buns.
Sanhe Noodles’ dried vegetable buns, after being steamed, serve as breakfast for the family and also as Chuchu’s lunch.
This morning's goat milk was squeezed by Huang Wanqing. When Chuchu got up, the house was already filled with a rich fragrance.
"Chu Chu, are you afraid of being alone at home?" Qin Qingman asked Chu Chu while eating breakfast.
"Sister, don't worry, I'm not afraid." Chuchu knew that Qin Qingman was going to work in the commune, and she did not hold back. In order to reassure Qin Qingman, she even picked up the wolf cub who was drinking goat milk and eating meat, "Sister, don't worry, Dudu is amazing."
"If you have any problems, ask the people in the village for help." Qin Qingman instructed Chuchu.
"Sister, I understand." Chu Chu nodded obediently.
"Wear more clothes when you go out to play, so as not to catch a cold. Also, don't go to dangerous places to play." Qin Qingman continued to remind Chuchu. The adults were not at home, and Chuchu had become much braver since she had the wolf cub as a companion. She didn't like to stay at home as much as she did last year. Instead, she became worried.
Children are safer if they stay at home all the time.
"Sister, don't worry, I will never go to dangerous places to play." Chu Chu hugged the wolf cub tightly and promised Qin Qingman.
Because she delayed the wolf cub's time to eat meat and drink milk, the wolf cub slapped Chuchu rudely.
Langzi knew Chuchu was a family member, so he retracted his claws and only used his paw pads to hit people.
It doesn't hurt.
Chu Chu quickly let go of the wolf cub and continued to eat the buns in the bowl.
Qin Qingman looked at the sensible and well-behaved Chuchu, and finally said nothing. Instead, she ate breakfast in silence. After breakfast, she and Huang Wanqing brought all the willow baskets filled with steamed buns in the kitchen to the yard.
After doing all this, the sun had risen in the sky.
As winter passes, the daytime lengths begin to lengthen.
Qin Qingman and Huang Wanqing packed their clothes, carried their bags and went to the entrance of the village. It was time for them to go to work.
Chuchu and Wolf Cub did not go to see the two off, but stood in the yard and watched them go.
There were steamed buns in the willow basket in the yard, and he had to stay at home to look after them.
Otherwise, based on Chuchu's dependence on and affection for Qin Qingman, she would definitely send her onto the sled, and maybe even have to ride on the sled for a while before returning home.
"My sister is going to work. From now on, it will just be the two of us."
Chuchu couldn't see the backs of Qin Qingman and Huang Wanqing, so she stretched out her foot and gently kicked the wolf cub squatting at her feet.
The wolf cub turned away and went back to the house without expressing his sadness to Chuchu at all.
Chu Chu couldn't sigh anymore.
The few tears that finally came out of my eyes gradually disappeared.
Chuchu missed Wei Ling and didn't know why her brother-in-law hadn't come home for so long. Thinking of this, the child stood in the yard and looked at the XXX division headquarters in the distance. The division headquarters was still some distance away from Kaoshantun, and he could only vaguely hear the sound of soldiers training.
I don’t know if my brother-in-law Wei Ling’s voice is among those voices.
Chu Chu is so melancholy.
He didn't even dare to ask Qin Qingman and Wei Ling when they would return home, because he could see that his sister missed her brother-in-law more than he did.
"Oh." Chu Chu sighed in the direction of the division headquarters, then began to move his hands and feet in the yard. After the blood in his body started moving, he squatted in a horse stance.
By the way, the child hasn't done horse stance for a while.
There were so many willow baskets in the yard today that it was difficult for him to practice boxing or running in the yard, so he simply chose to do horse stance.
Just as Chuchu was squatting, the wolf cub came over with his round body swaying.
The wolf cub has been in the Qin family for about three months and has grown a little.
I don't know if it's a breed problem or if it just grew crooked, but the wolf cub still looks like a baby.
"Chu Chu, go running."
Just as the wolf cub and Chuchu made eye contact, Sanmu's voice came from afar, along with the sound of orderly running.
"Sanmu, come here quickly." Chuchu's eyes immediately lit up when she saw Sanmu and his friends.
"What's wrong?" Sanmu led a group of children to the gate of the Qin family's courtyard, and then saw willow baskets piled up in half of the Qin family's courtyard. Upon closer inspection, some of the willow baskets looked quite familiar.
"Sanmu, look and see which willow basket is yours? Take it home quickly. There are too many willow baskets and I can't get out." Chuchu waved to Sanmu and the others to claim each family's willow baskets.
“This one looks like it belongs to me.”
Sanmu didn't hesitate. When Chuchu asked him to claim it, he did so and directly picked up the familiar willow basket.
When I picked it up, I found there was steamed bun inside.
Although the steamed bun had been frozen hard, it looked quite large and felt very heavy in the hand.
"This is a return gift from my sister. You should all take it home quickly and then we can go running again." Chu Chu took the initiative to explain the reason to the children.
The children were all very honest and did not think of refusing. Chuchu asked them to take their own willow baskets home, and everyone really found their own willow baskets and took them home happily.
When the children met adults jogging on the road, they kindly reminded them to hurry to Qin's house to get their own willow baskets.
Yesterday, Qin Qingman was elected as the women's director of the commune, and families in the entire village indeed sent gifts. So when the adults heard what the children said, they understood what was going on. Since Qin Qingman's return gift was ready, everyone did not hesitate and ran to Qin's house to take their own willow baskets back home.
While Chuchu was waiting for her friends in the yard, people from other families in the village came to the Qin family one after another.
These people did not receive the news that Qin Qingman had sent back the gift, they just came to take back their own willow baskets.
The results were surprising.
Those who received the return gifts returned home happily.
When Sanmu and his friends came to call Chuchu to go jogging in the village again, all the willow baskets in the Qin family's yard had disappeared.
"Chu Chu, my mother said that you should come to my house for lunch today."
Miki said this while running beside Chuchu.
"Chu Chu, my grandma told you to come to my house for dinner today. She's stewing meat today." Another child rushed to convey the message that someone at home wanted to bring the child.
"No, Chuchu, I have to go to your house for lunch today. My family is stewing chicken today."
"Go to my house, my house..."
"My home..."
Sanmu took the lead, and all the children who were running with him rushed to grab Chuchu. As a result, they could not continue running at all, and countless small hands grabbed Chuchu.
Chu Chu: ...Hey, I don’t plan to go with you!
"Chu Chu, you have to come home with me. My mom said that if I can't bring you back, I won't be able to eat lunch today. Not even a bone will be given to me." Sanmu's little hands tightly grasped Chu Chu's clothes, and at the same time, he glared at the other children.
“My grandma said the same thing!”
The other kid who was holding Chuchu didn't recognize Sanmu at all and glared at him with a red face and thick neck.
"Don't argue, don't argue, you are dragging ChuChu down."
Some kids took the opportunity to "persuade" them to fight, but their intention was fake and they really wanted to take the opportunity to snatch Chuchu away.
Those little hands were quite strong in pulling ChuChu.
Even the smallest GunGun hugged ChuChu's legs and sat on her feet. He couldn't compete with others, so he simply grew himself on ChuChu's body so that he could follow ChuChu wherever she went.
In the distance, a few young people who had just run a few laps in the village looked at Chu Chu who was surrounded by a group of children and laughed so hard that they almost rolled on the ground.
It's quite interesting to watch a group of dumplings fighting for the food.
More importantly, each of them was wearing so many clothes that they looked round and fat. If they were pushed, they would not be able to stand steadily and would roll to the ground. In just a short while, all the children, including Chuchu, were rolling on the ground in a ball.
The noisy noise attracted the attention of the people around, and everyone ran out to find out what was going on.
At first I thought it was a fight between kids, but after listening a little I realized it wasn't.
A group of children were vying for Chuchu to go to their house for lunch at noon.
After understanding, everyone understood why these kids were fighting for Chu Chu, because they also received return gifts from Qin Qingman.
Each family received a big steamed bun, which was not a big gift, but not insignificant either.
Qin Qingman was at work and there was no one at home, with Chuchu as the only child, so everyone planned to let Chuchu eat at home.
It's not spring yet and the snow hasn't melted yet, so the production team hasn't had much work to do. Every family still has some meat in stock. Qin Qingman is now an official in the commune, so it's not easy to invite her home for dinner, so everyone turned their attention to Chuchu.
Then a scene of joint robbery occurred.
Chuchu was a little confused when her friends first grabbed her, but she realized the reason a minute later and quickly pulled away the hands that were grabbing her clothes, "Stop grabbing me, I'm not going anywhere at noon."
This shout stunned everyone.
"Why? My family is having meat today, and I made it especially for you." Sanmu sniffed hard and looked at Chuchu pitifully. If Chuchu didn't go to his house for dinner today, he wouldn't have meat to eat at noon.
His mother was reluctant to cook meat because there were no guests at home.
The same thing happened at other children's homes. When they heard that Chuchu was not going to any of the homes, they all looked at Chuchu anxiously.
Seeing that everyone stopped fighting, Chuchu quickly got up from the ground, then looked at all the children seriously and said, "My sister made meat buns for me, so of course I won't go to your house to eat them."
Although he is still young, he knows that eating at other people's homes is a favor and favors are hard to repay.
"But...but my mother told me to take you to my house for lunch!" Sanmu didn't know what to do.
"Just tell your mother that everyone wants to invite me, but my family is not going."
After Chuchu answered Sanmu's question, she started to brush off the snow on her clothes. She had just rolled on the ground and was covered with a lot of snow.
"Chu Chu, you don't even go to our house?"
The other children asked at the same time.
"Yes, I won't go. My sister asked me to look after the house and I can't run around." Chu Chu made up an excuse on the spot.
"Then, then we won't be able to eat meat for lunch today?"
All the children looked disappointed.
For them, eating meat is very important.
"How about we go hunting in the back mountain?" Chu Chu saw that her friends were greedy for meat and quickly diverted everyone's attention, otherwise they would be stuck in it for a long time.
"Can we hunt prey in the back mountain?"
The little friends were attracted by Chuchu's words.
"Let's take Dudu with us. Dudu will definitely be able to find prey." Chuchu glanced at the wolf cub at her feet with great confidence.
"Is it dangerous?"
Someone is moved.
"There's no danger in going to the back mountain. We usually go ice skating in the back mountain." Sanmu rubbed his nose with his hand and made up his mind to go hunting in the back mountain with Chuchu.
If you can’t eat meat at home, you look forward to meat from the mountains.
"Okay, let's go." The friends immediately voted unanimously in favor.
"Let's go to the back mountain." Chu Chu waved her little hand and led a group of children to run to the back mountain.
Several young people who heard the children's conversation not far away looked at each other and could only follow them helplessly.
They have to watch out and not let the children get hurt.
Kaoshantun became lively because of Chuchu. Huang Wanqing from Hongqi Farm also came to the mailroom. Seeing the comrade who was looking down at the newspaper, she said directly: "Comrade, please help me find my letter.
The comrade who was reading the newspaper looked up, recognized Huang Wanqing, and answered directly: "Huang Zhiqing, there is no mail for you in the mailroom."
