At around two o'clock in the afternoon, Xiao Qingyang came back looking a little tipsy. Yang Baiyi asked him to go back to the house and lie down to rest for a while.
In the evening, we went to the educated youth compound for a reunion dinner. As Xiao Qingyang was the elder, everyone would inevitably toast him.
Yang Baiyi went to the educated youth compound in advance and sent two wild rabbits and two pheasants over, asking them to stew them in advance.
There should be nothing else to eat in the educated youth compound except the wild boar. We can't have a whole pig banquet, right?
After Yang Baiyi moved out of the educated youth compound, he became more casual about his food and drink. As his taste became richer, he didn't like wild boar meat very much.
As long as conditions permit, I would drink Moutai. In the evening, Xiao Qingyang woke up and everything was fine, as if he had not drunk any alcohol at noon.
Because the meat had already been delivered, Yang Baiyi and his family did not bring anything else when they went to the educated youth compound in the evening.
Everything is excessive or insufficient. If Yang Baiyi takes on everything, the pressure on the educated youth will be even greater.
They all have good character. If Yang Baiyi is the one who gives in every interpersonal communication, people will not dare to deal with Yang Baiyi after a long time.
We are all young people, and we were all city kids. Who doesn’t have self-esteem?
When they arrived at the educated youth compound, Yang Baiyi's family received a warm welcome. A group of educated youths came to greet them as they entered the house.
"Everyone, please don't be so enthusiastic. I'm not used to it anymore."
Lin Wanru was sandwiched between He Yingying and Li Yuan, with one of them holding her arm.
"You finally get to go back to your parents' home, so shouldn't you be a little more enthusiastic? If you're not, you'll dislike coming back even more."
He Yingying said half-jokingly.
"You little bastard, I told you to stop talking nonsense. What's going back to your parents' home? I told you to stop talking nonsense. I'll teach you a lesson."
"If you can't find me, I'll go and snatch your Yang Baiyi."
"You're a grown-up girl, yet you speak so illogically. I'll see how you'll find a husband in the future.
When Lin Wanru was in the educated youth compound, she had the best relationship with He Yingying. As soon as they met, they started laughing and joking.
"Comrade Wanru, you really don't have to worry about this problem. Comrade He Yingying also has a flower protector.
Comrade Dong Yiming gave all the teacher positions to Comrade He Yingying, and the way the two looked at each other was almost tearing.
People like us who have no one to love and care for us are the pitiful ones! "
Li Yuan and Zhou Fengying directly told Lin Wanru an explosive news.
Only Zhang Chunling wanted to get close to Lin Wanru, but was embarrassed to do so.
After all, she had competed head-on with Lin Wanru before. Although they had never fallen out, it was still a little awkward when they met. At least she couldn't act as if nothing had happened.
"I wasn't there on the day of the drawing, but I heard from Bai Yi that I was praising Comrade Dong Yiming for his broad vision. It turns out his motives were not pure. He just wanted to win the girl!"
Because she was dating Yang Baiyi, Lin Wanru had always been the target of He Yingying's teasing. Now that she had the opportunity for revenge, Lin Wanru would certainly not show mercy.
"Okay, okay, I surrender. I won't make fun of you anymore."
It's rare for the carefree He Yingying to give in. Facts have proved that no matter how tough a woman is, when encountering matters between men and women, at least in the beginning, she will still feel a little uncomfortable.
Several female educated youth came into the house chatting and laughing, and found that Xiao Qingyang's family had been arranged to sit in the main seat, and a group of male educated youth were talking around them.
We all left our hometowns and came to this strange and distant place. Especially during the Spring Festival, we miss our relatives far away even more.
Now Yang Baiyi's relatives are here, and Yang Baiyi is the one who has always helped take care of them, so everyone treats Yang Baiyi's relatives as their own relatives.
When speaking, he exuded respect and closeness everywhere.
Xiao Qingyang and his wife also understood the children's feelings and behaved very friendly. They showed the greatest love to every educated youth and tried their best to make them feel the care and love from their relatives.
"Comrades, the food is ready, come and serve it!"
In the kitchen, several educated youth who were in charge of cooking shouted.
Today is the reunion dinner, so we didn’t follow the duty roster. Instead, a few educated youth who cooked the best took over.
Except for Li Xue, no other female educated youth made the list. Today's dinner was prepared by Li Xue, Zhang Hui and Cui Jinfa.
Chicken stewed with mushrooms, braised rabbit cubes, pork with preserved vegetables, boiled pork, wild boar meat with stir-fried green onions, sauerkraut stewed with large bones, cold-mixed cabbage hearts, refreshing shredded radish, and a plate of braised meat.
For today's reunion dinner, the educated youths have prepared something very sumptuous. They have taken out all the best things.
The wine we drank today was also good. We bought six bottles of Xifeng Liquor. We bought them in town because the sales outlets in the village didn't have so much stock.
The female comrades drank honey water. This was because after Li Xue became pregnant, she had trouble sleeping and was a little constipated, so she asked her family to find a way to get a bottle of honey water and have it mailed to her.
Normally, Li Xue was reluctant to drink, but in order to entertain Lin Wanru and Mu Xue, Li Xue generously took it out.
"Grandpa, you are Comrade Yang Baiyi's grandfather, and you are all our grandfather. Please raise a glass first."
Han Fei's words were supported by everyone, and they all looked at Xiao Qingyang with shining eyes.
"Children, you are all educated youth who went to the countryside from the city, just like my grandson.
Originally, you could find a job in the city, find a revolutionary partner who shares your ideals, and live a pretty good life.
However, in order to ease the population and work pressure in the city, you resolutely joined the revolutionary tide of going to the countryside.
Some of you have been in the countryside for less than a year, some have been there for three years, and there are two good kids, Han Fei and Li Xue, who have been there for five years.
But I don’t see any numbness from the years, nor any decadence from the heavy farm work on each of your faces.
There is still light in your eyes, which proves that there is still hope in your hearts.
The hard times will eventually come to an end. Just live your life to the fullest now. In the future, you will surely return to where you belong and continue to shine for the country and the people in more important positions."
Xiao Qingyang was the mayor after all, and his toast moved everyone to tears. The first glass of wine brought the atmosphere to a climax.
Fan Jian and Dong Yiming, two stupid young men, drank too much and even choked on the wine, their faces turned red from coughing.
"Grandpa, are you trying to cheer us up? Do we really have a chance to go back?"
After the excitement, He Qingkui regained his senses. He had been in the countryside for three and a half years, but there was still no news from the Youth League Office and his hometown.
After hearing He Qingkui's question, the others once again turned their attention to Xiao Qingyang.
Xiao Qingyang has an extraordinary demeanor and is obviously a leader. What if he really has some inside information?
