In the afternoon, Wen Nuan took Xie Sufang and Zhang Hongliang to the clinic to buy some cold and fever-reducing medicines. They packed them up and sent them to Wen's parents the next day.
Wen Nuan was quite lucky. Just as she went to the town to deliver the packages, it started snowing heavily. It snowed for three days in a row, and the snow was over the knees. Wen Nuan and the other girls didn't dare to go out. They might not be able to climb out if they got stuck in the snow!
Staying on the kang every day was very boring. Even the most lively Liu Xiaoling became a little listless. Every day she chased others to play tumbling rope and kick shuttlecock in the kitchen. She tried all the games she could think of to pass the time. It was a disguised way for Wen Nuan to experience the joy of childhood.
It was a rare good day, the sun was shining warmly on my body, and it was only half a month away from the Chinese New Year.
Today, the male educated youths were really bored staying in the house, so they went out for a walk. Liu Xiaoling wanted to go too, but the girls were too cold to go out, and she couldn't go out with a group of male educated youths alone, so she could only stay in the house and play with Wen Nuan. She was anxious to hear the ending of the novel and wanted to shout, "I'm not bored at all, you don't have to play with me..."
Just when the female educated youth were bored, the male educated youth came back in a rush, and each of them looked very excited.
When the female educated youth heard the noise, they thought something exciting was happening, so they hurriedly put on their shoes and went to the kitchen.
"What's wrong with you? Why are you all so excited?" Liu Xiaoling's voice floated into the kitchen before she even entered.
"When we were strolling out just now, we heard the older brothers in the village say that they wanted to go to the mountains tomorrow to see if they could encounter any prey or something. We were discussing whether we should follow them!" The equally lively Li Qiang quickly said.
"Ah! Going up the mountain like this, you are just hanging yourself, looking for death!" Liu Xiaoling muttered faster than her brains.
The kitchen suddenly became quiet. Liu Xiaoling finally realized what she had just said and smiled awkwardly: "Hey, I said the wrong thing, don't mind it, don't mind it!"
Xie Sufang looked at the smirking Liu Xiaoling with a helpless look, "Xiaoling's words are unpleasant to hear, but they are true. The mountains are closed due to heavy snow, and it is too dangerous to go up the mountain!"
"It's okay. We are still with the villagers!" Yang Zhijun's cheeks turned red with excitement.
Zhang Hongliang was also very excited and passionate at first, but after listening to Xie Sufang's words, he slowly calmed down, "Stop arguing, let's discuss it!"
"Yes, let's discuss it first and then decide whether or not to follow the villagers up the mountain!" Xie Sufang quickly followed suit.
The excited male educated youth gradually calmed down.
"Come on, everyone share your opinions," Zhang Hongliang said.
"I think we should go! We haven't seen meat in our educated youth camp for almost a month, and I'm craving it!" Yang Zhijun was the first to raise his hand to express his opinion.
"I'm craving for meat too..." Li Qiang whispered from behind.
The brothers Wang Hongjun and Wang Hongqi did not express their opinions.
"I, I want to go too..." Liu Xiaoling also raised her hand, but before she could finish her words, she was grabbed by Lin Yiman.
"I don't agree!" Xie Sufang rejected it as soon as she opened her mouth. Seeing that Yang Zhijun and others were getting anxious, she quickly continued, "Let's not talk about the heavy snow blocking the mountain. The mountain road is not easy to walk on. Everywhere is covered with snow. Who knows where there are pits and traps? What if you fall into a pit or a trap? Another thing is that we have only been here for a few years. Usually, we go up the mountain to wander around the periphery. None of you know what the situation is in the mountain. The villagers dare to go up the mountain because their ancestors have been here for generations. They have the confidence. Do you have the confidence?"
As soon as Xie Sufang finished speaking, Yang Zhijun followed up with a sentence: "Aren't they with the villagers? We can follow them!"
"Then are you sure that the villagers will take care of you if an accident happens?" Xie Sufang asked in return, "You know how we interact with the villagers. Do you think the villagers will take care of you if you are in danger?"
Now Yang Zhijun stopped talking, and Zhang Hongliang also calmed down completely.
"I agree with Sister Sufang. I also don't recommend that male educated youth go up the mountain!" Lin Yiman quickly raised her hand to agree with Xie Sufang.
"I agree with Sister Sufang, comrades. We would rather go without meat than lose our lives!" Wen Nuan also raised her little paw to vote.
"Then I agree with Sister Sufang!" Seeing that the female educated youth had voted, Liu Xiaoling had to give up the idea of going out and jumping around.
Seeing that Yang Zhijun was still somewhat reluctant, Xie Sufang said soothingly, "The New Year is only half a month away. The village will definitely slaughter the New Year pig, and there will be a big market. There will definitely be people selling meat by then. We can buy more. Isn't it the same to have a better New Year meal?"
"I agree with what Xie Zhiqing said. Wen Zhiqing is also right. Life is the most important thing. None of us knows what's going on in the mountains. If something really happens, it's not worth losing your life for a piece of meat. So, we won't get involved in tomorrow's matter!" Zhang Hongliang looked at the male educated youths, "You guys should vote too!"
"I, I also agree not to participate. Life is more important!" Li Qiang was already scared by his imagination and quickly raised his hand to agree.
The two Wang brothers also raised their hands and agreed not to go up the mountain.
Seeing that everyone agreed not to go up the mountain, Yang Zhijun reluctantly raised his hand and agreed, "Then let's make a deal, buy more meat for the New Year this year!"
"Since we are all here now, why don't we discuss the New Year's shopping!" Zhang Hongliang saw that the male educated youth were all somewhat depressed, so he suggested this since everyone was here.
