"Okay, go ahead."
Lin Wanru smiled, and her beautiful eyes turned into two pools of spring water.
Because of his brother's arrival, Yang Baiyi was willing to take out a wild boar to have a meal with the educated youth to welcome his brother, which was a respect for himself.
If Lin Xiao was not his brother, Yang Baiyi had no relatives with him and there was no need to do this.
Yang Baiyi went back to the main room and took out all the dozen or so bottles of sweet potato wine.
"What are you doing? Isn't it enough to offer a wild boar? Are you planning to offer wine too?"
After changing his pants, Lin Xiao walked out of the room and saw Yang Baiyi putting wine on the sled.
Lin Xiao's brows immediately frowned. Although your living conditions are indeed good, you can't be too extravagant.
In fact, Lin Xiao has basically accepted in his heart that Yang Baiyi will become his brother-in-law in the future, so of course he has to consider his sister's future.
"Comrade Lin Xiao, these are not good wines. They are all local sweet potato liquors. Not only do they taste bad, but drinking too much will give you a headache.
There is another reason. I know they don’t have any wine tickets. If we don’t bring the wine over, wouldn’t that be embarrassing for them?
We all come from the same place, so we'll help if we can. We don't lack these things at home.
It is said that when you are poor, you can take care of yourself, and when you are rich, you can help the world. I certainly cannot help the world, but I can still help my friends improve their lives occasionally.
Yang Baiyi hurried to explain, fearing that Lin Xiao would misunderstand him and think that he was extravagant and didn't know how to live.
"You're very thoughtful. It's a blessing for your fellow educated youth to have a friend like you."
It has to be said that Yang Baiyi’s words really touched Lin Xiao.
"You must have worked hard hunting in the mountains today. Wash your face and rest for a while. I'll take the wild boar over."
Yang Baiyi asked the dogs to pull the sled back on and carefully covered the wild boar.
When we arrived at the educated youth compound, except for a teacher, everyone else had not yet left work.
"Captain Han, are you in the room?"
Because the weather was hot, the few people who were not working were staying indoors.
"Here I am! Comrade Bai Yi, why are you out walking the dog in such hot weather?"
Several doors opened and everyone came out.
"Why are you walking the dog?! This morning, Wanru's brother Lin Xiao and I went up the mountain and hunted a wild boar. We brought it over for you to clean up. We'll have dinner together tonight."
Yang Baiyi lifted the sack covering the sled, revealing a big wild boar and more than a dozen bottles of sweet potato wine underneath.
“If you hadn’t told me, we would have invited you guys over for dinner tonight.
Last night, when Comrade Cui Jinfa and Comrade Dong Yiming brought back the meat, they told us that Comrade Lin Wanru's brother had arrived.
Everyone unanimously decided not to eat the roe deer meat they brought back, but to save it for the evening to offer as a welcome gift to their brother who was like a comrade.
Comrade Baiyi, why don't you take this wild boar to the food station and sell it?
Han Fei was too embarrassed to ask for the wild boar and wine that Yang Baiyi sent him.
Over the past year, Yang Baiyi has given everyone so much help. Now that his future brother-in-law has arrived, they have to express their gratitude out of both emotion and reason.
"Okay! Of course, I should be the one to arrange the welcoming ceremony for my brother-in-law, so don't worry about it.
I know no one has a wine ticket now. You are planning to take out the stored wine, right?
Sister Li Xue is due to give birth in a month, right? You should save it for the baby's full moon. I'll pay for the meat at the full moon banquet, and consider it a gift from your uncle to the baby.
As he said this, he glanced at Li Xue's belly.
Yang Baiyi was not wrong at all. Han Fei really planned to take out the wine that he had stored for half a year.
Li Xue strongly supported this decision. She had always been grateful to Yang Baiyi, and this was a good opportunity to return the favor.
She knew that if it weren't for Yang Baiyi, there would be no Chenjiatun Primary School today, and they would still be living a life of hard work.
"Comrade Yang Baiyi, just listen to Captain Han. This afternoon, we'll all write this letter home and ask them to send two wine tickets.
Captain Han's baby will be one month old in two months, so there's definitely enough time."
He Yingying said on the side.
This was also what everyone had agreed on. This time, we would drink Captain Han's wine first, and then give Captain Han the wine before the child's full-month banquet.
It doesn't make sense to let Captain Han pay for the wine alone to welcome Lin Wanru's brother, especially since he has a wedding to attend.
"Alright! Everyone, stop arguing. I have everything. Why are you wasting your energy?
I appreciate everyone's kindness. Tonight is just a simple gathering, there's nothing too special about it.
I'll leave the things here, and I'll take them back after dinner."
After saying that, without waiting for Han Fei and the others to speak, he untied the dogs' noose and took them out of the educated youth compound.
"Principal Han, what should we do now?"
He Qingkui was at a loss for what to do when he saw Yang Baiyi leave so decisively without even taking the sled.
"What else can I do? I'll just listen to Comrade Yang Baiyi and find a chance to repay him later.
Come, everyone, help pull the wild boar to a cool place and bring the wine into the house first."
At Han Fei's call, everyone except Li Xue, who was pregnant, worked together to pull the sled to a shady place.
"Principal Han, I feel like I'm dreaming this past year.
Comrade Yang Baiyi sends us meat every now and then. Not only in Chenjiatun, but we've never eaten like this before at home!"
The educated youth who were in the same batch as Yang Baiyi did not feel deeply about it, because they had been taken care of by Yang Baiyi since the first day they went to the countryside. However, He Qingkui had suffered a lot for three years before that.
"Who says it's not true? In the past, we worked hard from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, and we could barely make enough food for ourselves. This is why Xiaoxue and I have never dared to have children.
After Comrade Yang Baiyi came, our educated youth compound underwent earth-shaking changes.
Not to mention that we often have meat to eat, let’s just say that we don’t have to work now, and we can earn full work points just by teaching at school. Would you believe this in the past?”
Among this group of educated youth, the ones who were most deeply touched were undoubtedly Han Fei and Li Xue.
After Yang Baiyi returned, it was almost noon. He washed his face and prepared lunch with Lin Wanru.
Lin Xiao was very tactful and didn't go over to disturb them. He locked himself in the east room to smoke.
I just had barbecue burritos in the morning and I'm going to have a whole pig feast in the evening, so lunch will be relatively simple.
The last time I went to the county town, I hadn’t finished the buckwheat noodles I bought on a Korean street, and it just so happened that I was having cold noodles for lunch today.
I picked a few cucumbers and tomatoes in the yard, washed them, cut the cucumbers into shreds, and sliced the tomatoes, and put them in a bowl for later use.
I fried a few eggs and sausages, then boiled the buckwheat noodles and rinsed them with cold water several times.
Put the noodles into a bowl, pour the prepared sauce on them, and then put the side dishes on the noodles. The cold noodles with strong ethnic characteristics are ready.
