Tang Shiyan put some pig grass into the space and cut it to put it in the backpack. After a while, the backpack was full of pig grass.
Seeing that it was still early to go home for lunch, she walked towards the back mountain to see if she could come across any pheasants or rabbits that she could take home and stew for herself.
When Tang Shiyan arrived at the back mountain, she began to look everywhere, even if it meant she might come across some other treasure. After walking for a while, she indeed saw some useful medicinal herbs. She immediately put them into the space and planted them, so that she would have endless medicinal herbs in the future.
Just as she finished processing the herbs, she heard a noise not far away. She followed the sound and saw two fat rabbits and three pheasants.
Tang Shiyan thought that her luck was pretty good today. Although she didn't encounter any big guys, these were okay. I believe that next time I will get some wild boars, blind bears, etc., because my luck has always been good.
Tang Shiyan kept one pheasant and one rabbit, and put the rest into the space. If she took them all back, she would be envied by those jealous people.
Although these little things don't need to be handed in and you can keep them for yourself if you get them, some people get jealous and dissatisfied when they see them. They don't have the ability to catch them themselves, and they can't bear to see others eat them.
Tang Shiyan quickly walked out with the rabbit and pheasant. When she reached the corner of the mountain, she saw villagers Zheng Yanhua and Meng Cuixia still picking grass for pigs.
Tang Shiyan went over to carry the pig grass back, but was blocked by the two men. Zheng Yanhua said, "Hey, Tang girl, you are really hardworking. After cutting the pig grass, you also went to the mountains to hunt pheasants and rabbits. You are so lucky. Can you share some with us? Anyone in the team who gets these things will share them."
Meng Cuixia also echoed, "That's right, Tang girl, other people share these things when they get them. You mustn't eat them all by yourself. That's not okay."
Tang Shiyan: "I'm afraid you're all just dreaming. Are your hands or legs crippled? If you want to eat, go get it yourself. What's wrong with me eating alone? I earned it with my own ability."
"There are plenty of them in the mountains. Go and hunt them yourself. Whether you can catch them or not depends on your ability. Don't just sit here and chatter away, envying others."
"Hey, what are you talking about? Who said we can't catch any pheasants? We just didn't go. If we had gone, we might have caught more pheasants and rabbits than you did."
Tang Shiyan: "If that's the case, then hurry up and don't block my way. Haven't you heard that a good dog doesn't block the road? Get out of the way quickly. I need to go back and stew some meat."
"I don't have time to waste on you guys. You don't have the ability, but you still want other people's things. Do you think it's so easy to get a bargain?"
The two of them had no choice but to step aside in frustration and watch Tang Shiyan walk back with pig feed on her back and pheasants and rabbits in her hands.
Meng Cuixia said to Zheng Yanhua, "Don't you have two sons? Since Miss Tang doesn't share the good things with us, go back and ask your eldest son, Sun Xiaogang, to do something about it."
"By then, she will obediently marry Sun Xiaogang. In that case, any good things she has in the future will belong to your family. By then, she will be under your control. Let's see if she can still be as sharp-tongued and arrogant as she is now."
Zheng Yanhua: "You have a point. Anyway, this girl is pretty and can be a good match for my Sun Xiaogang. When the time comes, I will tell you how I deal with her when she marries in."
"I must tame her completely and give birth to a few more big fat boys for our family. I don't believe I can't handle a little girl."
Tang Shiyan didn't know the dirty thoughts of these two people at this time. If she knew, she would definitely make their lives miserable. They dared to have ideas about her, so they must have lived too long.
Tang Shiyan returned home, washed her face, and started to light a fire and cook. After a while, the fragrance came out from the kitchen, and everyone living nearby could smell it.
Some people's children would clamor for meat when they smelled the smell. Better families would boil an egg for their children, but some people would just curse and complain, saying that this girl Tang was really something. She had meat but didn't even know to share some with others. She just ate alone at home with the door closed. She was really unsociable.
Tang Shiyan doesn't care about what others think. She just cares about eating and drinking enough. Why should she care about others? If they have the ability, they can go to the mountains and fight by themselves. There are plenty of resources in the mountains.
Tang Shiyan thought about it and decided to buy a backpack. The one she was carrying now was lent to her by the team leader's family. It was old and not very comfortable to carry. She had to buy a new one, after all, she would need to use it to collect grass for pigs every day.
As soon as she walked onto the road, she saw the captain coming back. Tang Shiyan said, "Captain, did you just get back? It's so late. Have you had lunch?"
The team leader said: "Yes, isn't it all the fault of those educated youth? They are so nagging. One moment they didn't buy this thing, and the next moment they forgot that thing. They keep running around the town over and over again."
"In the end, they looked down on us, saying we smelled like the people on the ox cart. They didn't take us farmers seriously at all. If they looked down on us country people, they shouldn't have come. I didn't beg them to come."
"I was so angry that I wanted to send them back. They were all so snobbish, looked down on others, and dressed so extravagantly. They didn't look like educated youth sent to the countryside. They looked like they were just acting like their ancestors. I saw that the people from other brigades were the same, so I had no choice but to bring them back."
"When they arrived at the educated youth camp, they started complaining about the housing. They said the toilets in their homes were not even as good as theirs, and so many people had to squeeze into one room. They said the room was stinky and had all kinds of smells."
"How do you solve these problems, Captain?"
"Humph, I don't care about them. They think they can do whatever they want in their own home. If they don't want to live here, they can go back to where they came from. That way I can be more relaxed."
"Either you build a house yourself or let your parents spoil you at home. I won't spoil them here. I already have a lot of things to do every day and I'm so tired, and I still have to take care of these ancestors."
Tang Shiyan: "Maybe when these people were at home, they were like their parents' ancestors. They were spoiled by them and have never experienced the hardships of life. They don't understand the hardship of us rural people."
The team leader said, "You're absolutely right, girl Tang. They don't look like they're here to work, but rather to enjoy themselves."
"Tang girl, this is your family division document. I went to the police station today to make a copy and stamp it. You must keep it safe and don't lose it."
