Chapter 219: Fetching water with a bamboo basket is a waste of time.
Not long after Li Qing left, Xiao Yiyan came back.
"Wife, how are you feeling today?"
Ever since Ye Suiwan's belly grew bigger and bigger, this has become Xiao Yiyan's first words after returning home.
"Very good, come and have a snack first."
"I re-fried it for you. It's still hot!"
Ye Suiwan only left a small plate of French fries and three or five potato chips and shrimp pastes. As for the brown sugar meatballs, Xiao Yuyan didn't like sweet food, so she naturally made two portions, which were no longer available.
"Li Qing is here?"
Xiao Yiyan guessed it at first glance.
"Yeah, I left just before you came back."
"Let's go to the space and cook. We can talk while we cook. I want to ask you something."
As they talked, the two of them came to the space.
[Master, I want to eat too! ]
When Xiaobao saw people, he immediately tried to please them.
"Ayan?"
"Well, give it to him!"
Xiao Yiyan gave Xiaobao a few French fries, a potato chip and a shrimp slip, and then left decisively.
Ye Suiwan was laughing secretly the whole time.
If you look closely, you can still see the aggrieved expression on Xiaobao's tiger face.
"Okay, I stewed some big bones today, which is enough for you to chew. Go and have some fun by yourself first!"
What should Ye Suiwan do? He has to pamper this little treasure!
"Ayan, let's steam a sea bass, stir-fry some beef, and then serve the bone soup directly on the table, add some vegetables to it, and eat rice, okay?"
Ye Suiwan shares what he is going to eat for dinner.
"Yeah, sure. I'll handle the fish and then cut up the beef."
"Okay, I'll wash some greens, mugwort, cabbage hearts, pea sprouts, sweet potato leaves, and a few of each. And two stalks of celery and put them in the beef."
While Ye Suiwan was talking to himself, several kinds of green vegetables appeared in the vegetable washing sink.
The fish on Lu Yingci's side were also gutted.
"Ayan, is there any big move by the Corps?"
"For example, something that can make the educated youth stop working?"
In fact, what Ye Suiwan first thought of was the quota for workers, peasants and soldiers in the university, but it was only the end of 1970, and the first batch of workers, peasants and soldiers were in the fall of 1972. It is estimated that the higher-ups still have this idea, and the male educated youth certainly would not know about it.
Then there is only one possibility, that is, something is going to happen within the Corps.
"Hmm? Another educated youth?"
Xiao Yiyan frowned when he heard this. He now felt inexplicably resistant to the educated youth.
"yes!"
Ye Suiwan told Xiao Yiyan about Li Qing's affairs in detail, because she knew that Xiao Yiyan would never tell anyone a word.
"What you said is true. Recently, the Corps wants to set up an editorial department. Some of the staff of the editorial department will come from the educated youth. Those who can be selected will have the advantage of priority participation and recommendation in many things in the future."
"The minimum requirement for this job is to graduate from junior high school, and most of the educated youth meet this requirement. The competition is quite fierce. The job involves interviews, writing, typesetting, lettering, illustrations, mimeographing, and distribution. In addition, the name will be signed on the tabloid, and there are many opportunities for the face to appear. So they may be vying for this position?"
Xiao Yiyan was not sure about the details, but he felt it was pretty close.
After hearing this, Ye Suiwan felt that it was not only almost certain, but certain.
“Can the leader recommend one?”
Ye Suiwan still asked a question.
"In theory, it is possible. There must be examinations for selection, so leaders will have the opportunity to meet the educated youth. It is normal for them to recommend outstanding educated youth when they see them."
"So this is targeting Political Commissar Li?"
Speaking of this, Xiao Yiyan burst out laughing.
"What's wrong?"
Ye Suiwan raised his eyebrows.
"No chance! Political Commissar Li will definitely participate in the selection, but he will definitely not exercise the power of recommendation. He will only select the best candidates based on their performance. Not only will it be useless to ask him for help, but we may not even have the opportunity to participate in some activities in the future!"
"He's a very ruthless person."
"Otherwise, he would have used his connections to find a factory job for his two children in the county town, so they wouldn't have to stay at home anymore."
Although Xiao Yiyan didn't know much about Political Commissar Li, he was very sure of this.
"Then it's really a waste of effort."
"But Qingqing is also very smart. She figured it out as soon as I said it."
"Tomorrow I will go to the factory and ask Jiang Yan who that person is. It is better to avoid people with such intentions in the future."
Ye Suiwan talked about his plans.
"Well, you go by yourself? When?"
"I'll go to Fang Yang's house after dinner and ask Zhou Jingjing to pick you up tomorrow."
Xiao Yiyan made the decision directly.
"Oh, I can't go out alone?"
"But I accept your concern and advice."
Ye Suiwan smiled.
"This fish only needs to be steamed for ten minutes after it has steamed up!"
"I'm going to stir-fry the beef now. Go set up the induction cooker and bring the pot of bone soup over to cook the vegetables."
Ye Suiwan said while busy with the work in his hands.
"Okay, I'll do it. I'll prepare the rice first and take out Xiaobao's bones."
Xiao Yiyan washed his hands and walked out.
Xiaobao had no interest in other words, but he heard this sentence clearly!
[Bones, bones, I want a basin full of bones! ]
"Come on, you're just a bunch of bones. Don't you see how big your little body is? I'm not a veterinarian. Just relax and be yourself."
Ye Suiwan rolled his eyes at it.
However, although Ye Suiwan said this, he is now quietly reading veterinary-related content.
[Yeah, I get it. I am the king of beasts. How can I be choked to death by food? ]
[I have good digestion. I am full and can still work for you, right?]
As Xiao Bao spoke, he was already following Xiao Yiyan.
Ye Suiwan did not deny this point. The pigs, cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks and geese were now under the care of Xiaobao.
Not to mention, it's well managed and it saves her a lot of trouble!
She was still able to handle dead objects, but she was really powerless when it came to breathing things.
She felt that Xiaobao was selfish and it took shape only after the ranch was unlocked.
But none of that matters; what matters is that the entire farm space is functioning well.
Shen Si's sales were also very smooth, and he managed to do it very quietly.
Although there are large quantities of shipments, they do not appear suddenly in one place, and the increase is small, so it does not attract much attention.
What's more, their main customers now are still major manufacturers.
Of course, Seafood Sauce has already cooperated with other corps, farms, and even some troops.
She finally had some time to research other things.
For example, it is November soon, and the late stage of pregnancy is not far away. It is just right that she can stay here for the winter. After the Chinese New Year next year, the babies will be born in February or March. As a new mother, she must be prepared and learn a lot of knowledge about caring for babies!
"It's time to eat!"
By the time I was thinking about it, the food was ready.
The couple had a delicious meal and continued to study together!
It’s great to be able to progress together.
