Chapter 44 Hatred
Huo Lanci glanced at the blood stains on his clothes, frowned slightly and said, "No one is injured. We went into the mountains in two groups. The militia captain led us into the mountains, and the brigade secretary led people to search outside. When we came back, we encountered two big wild boars with two small wild boars. This blood was obtained when we killed the wild boars.
"They're going to kill pigs tonight, and we'll have to go to the brigade headquarters to get the pork. Each of us who helped can get a pound of meat, and the rest of us have to buy it. It's 50 cents a pound, no tickets required." Huo Lanci said this and started to eat his meal seriously.
Not everyone was willing to spend fifty cents to buy meat, so when they arrived at the brigade headquarters, there were not many people queuing up. There were a dozen or so members in the front and a dozen or so educated youths behind them.
It's really neat and tidy.
Guo Hongying pulled Yu Wanqing to her side and asked in a low voice, "How many kilograms do you plan to buy?"
Yu Wanqing said, “Let’s take a look first.” There were more than a dozen people queuing in front of her, and she didn’t know how much would be left after they finished buying.
By the time they were done, there was still a lot of pork belly and bones left, each with a different price. Yu Wanqing ordered five pounds of ribs, a pig's ear and a pig's foot.
Guo Hongying and Zhang Hongqi both bought three pounds of pork belly and two pounds of spare ribs.
Each of the educated youths at the educated youth camp bought two kilograms of meat. Lu Guohua and Zhang Tiesheng also followed Yu Wanqing's example and asked for a few pork shanks. He smiled and asked, "Yu Zhiqing, how do you make pork shanks into a tasty soup?"
Recently, chili peppers are added to all dishes, and everyone feels a little hot. Zhang Tiesheng even had a nosebleed, so we have to restrain ourselves and eat light food like the locals.
Yu Wanqing smiled and said, "Does the educated youth camp have dried cabbage?"
Gao Qingmei shook her head: "No, but I can go find someone in the village to exchange it. Tell me how to make the soup."
Yu Wanqing told them the whole process. Gao Qingmei smiled and said, "Thank you, Yu Zhiqing. I know what to do."
Huo Lanci handed the pork that was allocated to him to Yu Wanqing and was then sent back to take a shower and go to bed.
The next day, Yu Wanqing was going to plant soybeans and black beans. Before eight o'clock, Captain Lu came to find Yu Wanqing: "Niu Erzhuang has woken up. He said that you pushed him and caused him to roll down the slope."
"The police are here now and want to ask you a few questions. Please go to the brigade headquarters first." Captain Lu thought for a moment and reminded: "You didn't do it. Don't panic. Just tell the truth. Your Aunt Zhou and Aunt Zhou San are also at the brigade headquarters."
Yu Wanqing nodded: "I'm sorry to trouble you."
"What are you talking about?" Captain Lu said, "If you really think you are causing trouble, then you should work harder and do eight work points a day."
Yu Wanqing glanced at him, smiled, turned around and ran away.
Want to trick her into doing a job worth eight work points?
No way.
Normally she could earn at most six work points, but when there was a double plunder she would work hard, so she could earn not only ten but even twelve work points.
Captain Lu sighed when he saw this. This kid has a lot of strength, but why is he so lazy? It would be better if he could do more.
Someone smiled and said, "Captain Lu, be content. You should go to the next door and see the educated youth who is crying even though he is only getting four work points. In comparison, educated youth Yu is really good."
The child is sensible and capable, and can speak. He calls everyone "uncle" or "auntie" when he sees them.
So many people in the team like Yu Wanqing. Of course, since Yu Wanqing kicked Da Niu's wife away, everyone also gave her a nickname privately.
Yu Dali.
Captain Lu smiled when he heard this: "We have a good atmosphere in the Five-Star Brigade, and the educated youth are also good."
With some exceptions.
Everyone couldn't help but laugh. It was true. They had never seen educated youth who were so worry-free. Although they worked slowly when they first arrived, they never slacked off. Now the male educated youth can earn eight or nine work points, and the female educated youth can usually earn six points, and eight points when working harder. They are really capable.
When Yu Wanqing arrived at the brigade headquarters, Huo Lanci was already there. Aunt Zhou held Yu Wanqing's hand and said, "Don't be afraid. Tell the public security comrades the truth about whatever they ask."
Yu Wanqing nodded: "Don't worry, ma'am, I won't do anything shameful, and I'm not afraid of anything."
Two police officers, a man and a woman, stepped forward, and the tall, thin man asked, "Are you Comrade Yu Wanqing?"
Yu Wanqing nodded: "Hello, public security comrade, I am Yu Wanqing."
The thin policeman asked, "Where were you from 3:00 to 5:20 yesterday afternoon?"
Yu Wanqing said: "Yesterday was our first day off after the double robbery. It was already past two o'clock when we returned from the commune. My partner and I took backpacks and prepared to go into the mountains to collect some firewood. Later, the team leader called my partner away, and it was less than three o'clock when Zhiqing Huo and I separated."
"After walking for a while, I met Auntie Zhou and Auntie Zhou San at the foot of the mountain. We went into the mountain together. Because we didn't dare to go deep into the mountains, we picked up firewood at Pingshan Ridge." Pingshan Ridge is a bit far from Niangzi'ao. It is impossible for ordinary people to walk back and forth between Pingshan Ridge and Niangzi'ao in two hours and pick up a load of firewood.
Others couldn't do it, but she could, because she made sure that there was no one around, so she used her wood-related ability to control the vines to grow quickly, and pulled the vines directly to climb up Niangzi'ao.
She walked in a straight line, while the paths we usually take are winding and twisty.
The fact that Niu Erzhuang was able to find me accurately yesterday was purely because of his good luck, there is no other explanation.
The female police officer stepped forward and looked at Yu Wanqing with a scrutinizing look in her eyes: "Are you sure you were in Pingshanling all this time? Niu Erzhuang woke up and said that it was you who pushed him down. Did he wrongly accuse you?"
"Why would he wrongly accuse you for no reason, or is there some grudge between you two?"
Before Yu Wanqing could say anything, Huo Lan quit. He raised his eyebrows and glanced at the female police officer: "Why don't I take two police officers to Pingshanling and Niangzi'ao and back. If you can go back and forth in two hours, I will call this female comrade grandma. Do you think this is okay?"
The female police officer's face flushed immediately after hearing this: "We are just asking normal questions."
Huo Lanci smiled faintly: "I am just assuming it normally. After all, only those who have been there in person have the right to speak, not just making groundless guesses."
The captain nodded and said, "Go ahead. The two police officers should also give it a try. Otherwise, if it gets out, I'm afraid people will say we fooled you."
After he finished speaking, he stood up and wanted to personally take the two public security comrades to visit Pingshanling and Niangzi'ao.
The female police officer's expression was already bad when she heard Huo Lanci speak for Yu Wanqing. Now even the captain didn't give her face. She was even angrier and looked directly at Yu Wanqing: "Go if you want. I want her to accompany you."
It was too late for the male policeman to stop it. He could only sigh in his heart: It's really bad luck to work with this guy.
Huo Lanci wanted to say something, but Yu Wanqing smiled and said, "Okay."
You little brat, you actually dare to covet my Huo Zhiqing. If I don’t teach you a lesson, do you really think you are the grandmother and everyone has to respect you?
