It was a little after six in the afternoon, and the sun was still high in the sky, but the members had already finished their work for the day.
Because there is a lunch break in the summer, if you want to earn five work points during normal times, you have to work until dark.
Today, because I was thinking about the two wild boars in the school, my work efficiency increased sharply.
"Scorer, hurry up and check the work. Everyone is in a hurry to go to school to eat meat. It's already past six o'clock, and the wild boar meat must have been stewed to a pulp."
Someone kept urging the scorer to check the work.
"Don't worry, the sun is still high in the sky. It's not too late to go back and wash and change clothes.
My daughter and son are both in school, you see I'm not in a hurry."
Mr. Slow and Slow, the scorer is still checking the work of the members slowly and methodically.
When getting off work, not to mention those who were going the same way, even those who were not going the same way took a few more steps and deliberately passed by the school gate.
From a distance, I saw a group of children gathered at the school gate, peeking into the school.
"These greedy monkeys can't wait to eat meat."
Chen Feng said with a smile.
"That's not right! I see these kids aren't going to school!"
Zhuzi was sharp-eyed and noticed something was wrong.
"Dad, I want to eat meat too. I also want to go to school."
"Grandma, I don't want to get married, and you don't have to save money for me. I want to go to school. Only by going to school can I eat meat."
"Mom, I can still cook and collect firewood after school. Can you please let me go to school?"
…
The sharp-eyed child saw his parents and grandparents coming home from work and rushed over with a loud cry.
The children wanted to go to school but their family members wouldn’t let them, but they still managed to hold back. After all, they had never been to school before, so they just got by.
But today the school had stewed meat, but there was no portion for them, and the children couldn't bear it anymore.
When she saw her family members leaving work, all her grievances came flooding out at once, and she started crying, holding onto her parents and grandparents.
"What a sin! If you don't allow people to eat meat, don't stew it in the village. Look how greedy the children are."
"He took the lead in building the school, but we didn't let our children go to school. He is deliberately taking revenge on us!"
"Good grandson, let's not eat their meat. Tomorrow I'll ask your grandfather and your father to go up the mountain and hunt rabbits for you."
Although they knew that they had no share in the stewed meat at school, those members who did not allow their children to go to school still couldn't help but want to come and see the fun.
Who knew that their children were all smelling the smell at the school gate? Instead of seeing the excitement, they watched the excitement for the members who were sending their children to school.
"Grandma, please stop trying to trick me. My grandpa and my dad can't even catch a rabbit."
"Goudan and Dachengzi both go to school. We are the same age, so why can't I go to school?"
"I want to go to school and eat meat."
The children refused to give in and kept pulling their parents and grandparents to stop them from leaving.
"I'll make you greedy, I'll beat you to death."
Seeing that they couldn't coax the children into submission, and with the members of the commune who had sent their children to school constantly stirring up trouble, the adults felt embarrassed and started beating their own children.
At that time, everyone advocated corporal punishment, and if children were disobedient, they would be beaten and behaved.
The children were already feeling wronged, and after not getting to eat the meat and getting beaten up, they cried even louder.
After beating the children, the members felt much calmer. Regardless of the children's objections, they dragged the children back home.
You can't eat meat here, and your smug look makes you a laughing stock. It's better to take you home. The main thing is, out of sight, out of mind.
"It looks like the children are out of school. They should be waiting for us at home. Let's go back, wash our faces, and then bring the children over."
The parents of the students looked towards the campus, but found no trace of their children. There were only a few educated youth sitting on the campus.
Seeing that the fire under the iron pot has been turned off, I guess the meat is already cooked.
After the members went home and washed up, the sky gradually darkened. At the urging of the children, the members carried basins and led the children towards the school.
When we arrived at the school, we found that the team leader and the old branch secretary had already arrived. The lanterns in the school were lit, illuminating the entire campus.
Seeing that most people had arrived, Yang Baiyi signaled Han Fei to come out and call out their names.
Han Fei took out the student list, cleared his throat and began to call the roll. There were a total of forty-nine students and their parents were all present.
"Captain, you know the number of people in their family best. You should be the host of this meat-eating party."
Han Fei called out the names, Chen Baiwang distributed the meat, everyone was put to good use, and Yang Baiyi got a relief.
"Okay, I'll divide it."
Chen Baiwang happily took over the task.
"Comrades, you've all worked all day and must be hungry now. Let's cut the crap and get started.
Everyone line up, don't push, come one by one.
Because there were only two wild boars in the school, we didn't prepare steamed buns or cornbread for everyone, so everyone could go home and eat after receiving the meat."
Each member family sent a representative to walk in front of the three large iron pots one by one.
Cui Jinfa, Dong Yiming and Fan Jin, each holding a large shovel, stood in front of the iron pot.
Every time a member came, Chen Baiwang would tell his name and the number of people in his family, and the three of them would then serve meat and soup to everyone according to the number of people.
"After everyone has finished serving the meat and soup, please don't leave yet. Let the children line up again in front of Principal Han. Each student can receive two kilograms of fat meat."
Yang Baiyi revealed his final trump card.
"Oh my god! It's not enough to eat meat, there's even fat meat to be claimed."
"I have three students, so we can get six pounds of fat. Six pounds of fat can make a lot of lard."
…
The adults lined up to get stewed meat and bone soup, and the students lined up to get the fat that had been cut in advance. Whether adults or children, their faces were filled with smiles from the heart.
"Grandma, my elder sister and I each received two pounds of fat meat. Let's go back and boil it into pork. It will last us a long time to cook it."
Erya and her sister each held two pounds of fat meat and came to grandma to ask for credit.
"Good granddaughter, good granddaughter, you must study hard in the future and remember the kindness of Doctor Yang. Do you understand?"
Erya's grandmother held Xiaobao's hand and smiled so much that her eyebrows were visible.
"Well, grandma, we will definitely study hard and make money to honor you and our parents in the future."
Daya and Erya made assurances repeatedly.
When the members carried the basins, the fat meat and their children back home, they all expressed their gratitude to Yang Baiyi.
"Well, the kids are working hard at school, and I'm just doing what I can.
Everyone is tired after a day, let’s go back and have dinner.”
After the members left with their children, only the educated youth and the brigade cadres were left.
"Bai Yi, we went to the agency to buy some wine. You don't have to go back today. Just eat here."
Han Fei went to the office and took out the sorghum wine he bought during the day.
"We've prepared it too, let's have some fun together."
Chen Baiwang and other brigade cadres also took out the wine from their pockets.
