Apart from the lively conversation at the main table, the tables of other members were unusually quiet. Apart from the sound of smacking lips, no other sound could be heard.
Everyone was holding cornmeal pancakes and eating them with a table full of meat and vegetables. Their mouths were drooling with oil, so they had no time to talk!
Although eight dishes are not a small number and the portions are sufficient, they still cannot satisfy the current situation as all the members have big stomachs!
Talking delays eating. If you eat one bite less, others will eat one bite more.
Not to mention the adults, even the children who usually can't sit still are now particularly well-behaved, and the chopsticks in their hands fall on the plates and bowls like raindrops.
Each person ate two cornmeal pancakes and finally felt half full. The members then had time to open the bottle of wine and chat while drinking.
"Sister-in-law Li Xue, I'm almost done eating. Let me hold Lele for a while. You should eat something quickly."
Lin Wanru took Lele from Li Xue's arms.
"You can hug her more. When you marry Bai Yi in the future, you will be Lele's godmother."
Li Xueteng freed his hands and could finally eat a good meal.
Lin Wanru blushed but did not refute Li Xue's words.
Anyway, I really plan to marry Yang Baiyi, and everyone present is not an outsider, so there is no need to be shy and timid.
"Isn't Lele asleep? It would be nice to put him on the kang."
Lin Xiao glanced at Lele in his sister's arms. The little guy was sleeping soundly. It was just as Li Xue said. As long as the little guy was not hungry, he would not be shaken.
The yard is so lively, but it doesn't affect people's sleep at all.
"That won't do. It's so noisy in the yard. If Lele wakes up and cries, we won't be able to hear him.
It would be incompetent of adults to let a child suffer that injustice.”
Lin Wanru looked down at the chubby Lele in her arms, and for the first time she thought about getting married and having children as soon as possible.
"Captain, old Party Secretary, we two will excuse ourselves for a moment and go to other tables to toast."
Feeling that the time was almost up, Han Fei picked up an unopened bottle of sweet potato wine and started toasting at each table.
In this era, you don't need to be good at speaking to make a toast. No one will find excuses to refuse. Everyone will drink until the cup is finished. It's very refreshing.
Unlike in later generations, when the guests are unwilling to drink even after the toast is made, there are always various excuses to refuse, such as "I'm taking medicine, I'm driving".
After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, the bowls and plates were clean, and even the soup was eaten up by everyone with cornmeal cakes.
After finishing their meal, seeing that it was almost time, the young and strong members did not go home but went directly to the entrance of the brigade office, waiting for the old branch secretary to assign them work.
Clearing weeds and debris is pretty easy compared to tending to crops in the fields.
Moreover, the density of people at work is high, and everyone gets the work done while chatting and laughing.
"Brother, just like sister, I'm going to school."
Xiaoxiao went back to the house, took out her schoolbag, and ran away with her friends.
The group of women helping in the kitchen stayed behind to clean up the mess and take back their respective tables, chairs, benches, and dishes.
At Yang Baiyi's signal, Han Fei stood at the door and sincerely thanked every aunt and lady who came to help, and gave each of them two kilograms of wild boar meat.
"Principal Han, it's already embarrassing enough for our whole family to come here for dinner, how can we eat and take away at the same time!"
Li Xiu Lian refused firmly.
“Aunt Xiulian, this is what Bai Yi meant, so please take it.”
Han Fei was very smart. He knew that everyone came here to see someone's face, so he didn't explain much and directly brought Yang Baiyi out.
This worked better than anything else. The aunts and ladies happily took the pork, thanked Han Fei and Yang Baiyi, and left the educated youth compound happily.
After most of the day's hustle and bustle, the educated youth compound finally became deserted.
"It's finally quiet. Come, hug your godson. The little guy is like a little meat dump, so heavy."
Lin Wanru carefully handed Lele to Yang Baiyi's arms.
Just now, Li Xue handed Lele to Lin Wanru, ate a few bites of food in a hurry, and then started to toast with Han Fei, and then sent the guests out. She has been busy until now.
"This little guy is a blessed one. He has been sleeping for so long and still hasn't woken up."
Yang Baiyi looked at Lele who was sleeping soundly in his arms, and didn't know why he needed so much sleep.
Several people have been holding him, but there is no sign of him waking up.
Not sure if Lele was uncomfortable being held by Yang Baiyi or was hungry, but he opened his eyes drowsily in Yang Baiyi's arms and yawned.
A pair of big black eyes looked at Yang Baiyi for a while, then she pouted her little mouth and started crying at the top of her lungs.
"Bai Yi, give it to me. I'll go change his diaper and feed him some milk."
Li Xue picked up her son and went back to the house. Han Fei also went to help. Han Fei was the one who had been doing the work of changing the bed and washing diapers.
Li Yuan and He Yingying were cleaning up the mess in the kitchen, and suddenly only Yang Baiyi and Lin Xiao, brother and sister, were left in the yard.
"There's nothing to do here, why don't we go back and rest for a while."
Yang Baiyi didn't go into the house. He greeted Han Fei in the yard and went back with Lin Xiao and his sister.
Lin Xiao packed his luggage yesterday, so he can go directly to the train station tomorrow.
Yang Baiyi knew that the brother and sister must have a lot to say to each other, and not wanting to disturb their reluctant farewell, Yang Baiyi simply took the five dogs out for a walk.
At this time, there were a large number of members working on the hillside and the riverbank. Yang Baiyi changed direction and took the dogs up the mountain.
Yang Baiyi lived at the easternmost end of the village. This time he passed through the village and went up the mountain from the westernmost end.
Yang Baiyi was walking through the mountains and forests, with five dogs following closely behind him.
Without Yang Baiyi's order, they would not act on their own, but would closely guard Yang Baiyi.
There have never been many wild goats in the space, and the weather is about to turn cold. Winter is the season for eating mutton, which is the best way to warm the body.
There was no one else in the forest now, so Yang Baiyi had no scruples and directly mobilized the vibrant wood-type ability in his body. The ghost hand vine spread in all directions with Yang Baiyi as the center.
The ghost hand vine moved at a high speed in the mountains and forests. When encountering other animals, the ghost hand vine did not react at all. The stock in the space was still sufficient, so there was no need to over-hunt.
When encountering wild goats, they were not polite. The ghost hand vine quickly tied up several wild goats tightly and dragged them towards Yang Baiyi.
Six wild goats, plus five more in the space, are enough to feed them for the whole winter.
"Hey, what is this?"
Through the perspective of the ghost hand vine, Yang Baiyi discovered a plant under a big tree.
The slender stems have palmate compound leaves with fine serrations on the edges and a few bristles along the veins on the surface of the leaves.
If it didn't have a bunch of red berries on top, it would be hard to find among the weeds.
