Lu Zhiye stuffed the fish on the two wooden sticks into Zhong Muqing's hands and motioned him to take them in.
Then he took a dozen grilled fish and staggered to the gate of the cowshed.
The aroma of grilled fish attracted everyone in the cowshed to look over here.
Lu Zhiye pretended to slip and the grilled fish fell to the ground, getting covered in dirt.
He cursed loudly: "All these grilled fish are wasted, what bad luck!"
After saying that, he kicked the stone beside him with all his strength.
He walked away cursing.
The people in the cowshed watched him walk away, then looked at the grilled fish that was covered with a little mud, and swallowed hard.
In the end, Zhong Wende came out of the cowshed, picked up all the grilled fish, and blew the dirt off them.
He said to the crowd, "Since they don't want it, let's share it."
Twelve fish are enough for each of the adults to have one.
At this time, they no longer cared about their image while eating, and did not mind the dust on the food at all. They just patted it twice with their hands and started eating with big mouthfuls.
I don’t know who started crying first, but more and more sobbing sounds were heard.
A person who was once in a high position and respected, once he falls into trouble, even a fish covered in dust becomes a rare delicacy.
Of course, not all of them were wrongly accused. A middle-aged man finished eating a fish and looked at Zhong Wende greedily: "Old Zhong, your son just brought several fish into the house. Can you share them among us?"
Zhong Wende's eyes turned cold: "That's what my son earned through hard work, why did he give it to me?"
The man smiled awkwardly: "Isn't this a difficult time? Isn't it good for us to help each other and tide over the difficulties together? Besides, your son can't eat that much."
Zhong Wende was so angry that he laughed. He changed his usual scholarly demeanor and scolded, "You have collected a lot of firewood recently. Can you share some with our family?"
"How can that be possible? I carried it down the mountain with great effort!"
Zhong Wende: "Then why should I share the reward my son earned through his labor with you?"
Many people in the cowshed were intellectuals, and they couldn't stand the man's ugly eating habits.
They all said, "It's good to have a fish to eat. Let's get to work quickly. After you finish your work, go collect some firewood and fill the water tank."
The man looked at Zhong Wende and his wife with cold eyes.
He spat at them harshly.
Kong Xiuzhu winked at Gao Lin, and the two of them finished their work and went up the mountain.
"Xiao Lin, do you know why Comrade Lu did this today?"
Gao Lin scratched his head: "Are you afraid of being implicated?"
Kong Xiuzhu hit him on the head with a wooden stick and said, "If he was afraid of being implicated, he wouldn't have saved us in the first place.
You, you, when can you think about it more? "
Gao Lin smiled innocently: "I know, teacher, there are good people and bad people in the cowshed.
It would be bad if someone got hold of this evidence against Comrade Lu and used it to blackmail him.”
Kong Xiuzhu nodded in satisfaction: "Not bad, you can think of this, which means you are not stupid. Stay away from that person in the future."
"Oh, I know!"
On the other side, Lu Zhiye returned home briskly, and there was a commotion at the educated youth point.
It turned out that they had caught a lot of fish and were discussing whether to make fish soup or braise it.
Lu Zhiye flashed into the space. The corn on the wasteland was almost ripe because of the pig manure that Lu Zhiye had sprinkled.
However, the growth of the rice field was not as good as Lu Zhiye had imagined.
He rubbed his chin: It seems that the ground that comes with the space itself is not affected by external factors.
The land he reclaimed acre by acre could be accelerated in growth using pig manure.
For the rest of the night, Lu Zhiye was busy picking corn cobs in the cornfield.
He had no control over the wasteland and could only reclaim it acre by acre.
Cut the corn stalks and throw them into the pigpen, and the wild boars will eat them happily.
The silly roe deer also looked at it eagerly, and Lu Zhiye threw some in as well.
After working all night, I only managed to clear half of the land.
Lu Zhiye sighed and drank a glass of spiritual spring water before he recovered.
Lu Zhiye had nothing to do these days, so he stayed in his space and peeled corn.
In the blink of an eye it is December.
The brigade's loudspeaker sounded again: "Dear members, after the autumn harvest, it's time for us to rest. Next, we will go to the embankment to repair the river. Everyone, hurry up and sign up at the brigade headquarters."
The new educated youth didn't know what was going on yet, so Zhou Guoliang cleared his throat and said, "Every year, we will arrange for strong laborers in the village to repair the river channel. It's a little over one yuan a day, and we educated youth can sign up."
Except for a few female educated youth, almost all the male educated youth signed up.
Even Li Guihua signed up.
Niu Liye's eyes lit up and he hurried to sign up.
Wen Sihe looked at Li Guihua in confusion and asked, "You have the highest work points among all the female educated youth this year. Even if you save a little on food, it's enough. Why do you want to suffer that?"
Wu Yu had not yet realized the seriousness of the problem. She still thought it was as tiring as going to work.
Li Guihua smoothed her braids with her hands and said with a smile: "I have been in the countryside for four years. My family only reports safety once a year. I have to keep some money in my hands."
Every family has its own problems. Wen Sihe remained silent for a long while and didn't say anything else.
Lu Zhiye also signed up, not because he loved working, but because he clearly remembered that Professor Zhong mentioned his son in his previous life, and that was when he was repairing the river channel.
It rolled down the slope and finally disappeared.
Everyone in the cowshed had to go to repair the dam, and it was impossible for Professor Zhong to leave Zhong Muqing alone in the cowshed.
Definitely take it with you.
Lu Zhiye thought about letting Zhong Muqing follow him when the time comes. Given his current relationship with the captain, the captain would just turn a blind eye.
What's more, no one can say anything about a seven-year-old child.
