A group of people returned to the educated youth compound and simply washed their faces.
Looking at the firewood piled in the yard, although my body was tired, my heart was satisfied.
This is the result of their labor. This is the first time in their lives that they have worked in the countryside.
Not to mention killing rabbits, few other people have even eaten rabbit meat, so the task of killing rabbits naturally fell on Yang Baiyi.
"Little sweetheart, go inside and read the comic books. Children can't read these."
Skinning a rabbit is quite bloody, and Yang Baiyi was afraid that his sister would be scared when she saw it.
"Oh, Xiaoxiao got it."
Yang Baiyi hung the hare head down on a tree, cut two cuts on the hare's hind legs, grabbed the cuts with both hands, and tore them down hard, and the whole hare skin was peeled off.
“An expert can tell the difference with just one look.”
"In the hands of Comrade Yang Baiyi, skinning has become an art form."
"Comrade Yang Baiyi, if our small group is a family, you are the head of the family. Without you, this family will fall apart."
A group of people surrounded Yang Baiyi, flattering him loudly.
"Stop, that's too much! Aren't you afraid that I'll get lost in the flattery?"
Being with this group of energetic educated youth, Yang Baiyi felt that his mentality had become a lot younger.
In his previous life, although he was not very old and had many people around him, the atmosphere in the team was always depressing in that apocalyptic world where one could lose one's life at any time.
Every day I have to be on edge, always ready to deal with zombies that may suddenly appear out of nowhere.
The people around me now are different, each one of them is alive.
Although they were short of supplies and had to leave their homes, it did not affect their ability to find joy in hardship.
Several old educated youth watched from afar and did not gather around.
If you go there and they're killing rabbits, will they invite you? With supplies so scarce these days, you still have to be sensible.
"I'll do it again. You guys watch carefully. You'll have to learn how to do it in the future."
Yang Baiyi also hung up the second hare, deliberately slowed down his movements, and peeled off the hare's skin completely.
"I think I've learned it."
"Me too, it doesn't look complicated."
"I feel like I can do it again."
Several male educated youth said that they had mastered the skills of killing wild rabbits.
"Fan Jian, wash the rabbit and cut it into small pieces. Is that okay?"
Yang Baiyi handed the hare to Fan Jian.
"No, no problem."
Yang Baiyi's sudden call made Fan Jian stunned. After he reacted, he looked at Yang Baiyi with gratitude.
He knew that this was Yang Baiyi giving him an opportunity, an opportunity to integrate into the team.
Some people are born with leadership qualities. A qualified leader will not dwell on past conflicts.
They will consider the overall situation. For the stability and unity of the team, they can truly treat everyone equally and will not deliberately target any one person.
At noon, Yang Baiyi was still in charge of the cooking. He prepared one braised dish and one spicy dish, served with multi-grain pancakes. The group of people enjoyed the meal very much.
Yang Baiyi went to ask Han Fei, Zhang Hui and others to come and eat rabbit meat together, but they politely declined.
I just went there to eat their bacon and smoked fish last night, so I feel embarrassed to go there to eat wild rabbit today.
He is a new educated youth. As an old educated youth, I feel ashamed enough for not being able to take care of him. I cannot take advantage of him as a newcomer.
Yang Baiyi realized that they were not playing hard to get, so he stopped insisting.
Everyone has their own principles and bottom line, and you cannot make things difficult for others in the name of others.
There were two fat wild rabbits, each weighing seven or eight kilograms. The ten educated youth, plus Yang Xiaoxiao, ate so much that their mouths were full of oil.
After lunch, Lin Wanru took the female educated youth to wash the pots and pans, clean up the kitchen, and then took the little girl to take a nap.
"Comrade in white, would you like one?"
Cui Jinfa took out a wrinkled Daqianmen cigarette from his pocket.
"Thank you, I don't smoke."
Yang Baiyi refused.
"You really don't know how to enjoy life. A cigarette after dinner is better than being a god!
Fan Jin, Yiming, let's go out and smoke, so as not to disturb Comrade Baiyi's rest.
Comrade Fan Jian, do you want to join us?"
Cui Jinfa knew that people who don't smoke really hate the smell of cigarettes.
In order to make Comrade Yang Baiyi's lunch break more comfortable, Cui Jinfa planned to go to the yard to smoke under the midday sun.
"Okay, let's smoke mine together. I brought Luoyan from home. Let's taste the flavor of home."
Fan Jian happily took out Luo Yan from his luggage?
Cui Jinfa used to hate him, but now he would take the initiative to ask him to smoke with him. Fan Jian knew that this meant that everyone was beginning to accept him.
Yang Baiyi ignored them and took off his shoes and got on the kang.
The happiest things in life are to have three meals a day and one bedtime.
After waking up, Yang Baiyi looked at his watch. It was two o'clock in the afternoon. He stretched and sat up.
Looking around, he saw Cui Jinfa and the others sleeping soundly. Yang Baiyi didn't call them to get up, but walked out of the room quietly.
I walked so many mountain roads and chopped so much firewood this morning. It was my first time working, and I was so excited that I didn't feel very tired.
But once they lie down, they feel sore all over. Enough firewood has been brought back in the morning, so let them sleep a little longer.
Yang Baiyi came to the yard, found a place to sit under the shade of a tree, felt the cool breeze, listened to the rustling of leaves, and felt very relaxed and comfortable.
The Northeast is particularly good in this regard. No matter how hot the weather is, it is always cool under the shade of the trees.
Unlike the south, the summer wind is hot, just like that blown by a hair dryer.
"Big brother, is Xiaoxiao at home?"
A group of little rascals rushed into the educated youth compound.
Everyone had red heads and swollen faces, and was sweating profusely. Goudan and Dachengzi were still shirtless, with their clothes bulging in their arms.
"Xiaoxiao is taking a nap and hasn't woken up yet. Didn't you guys take a nap?"
Yang Baiyi asked.
"No, we don't have the habit of sleeping during the day. Big brother, we ate little candy yesterday, didn't you say you would take her to pick wild fruits today?
My mother said that going up the mountain was too tiring and city kids couldn’t handle it, so we picked some wild fruits and brought them to Xiaoxiao.”
Goudan undressed, revealing the red and green wild fruits inside.
"When Xiaoxiao wakes up soon, she will be very happy to see the wild fruits you sent her.
Wait, I'll see if Xiao Xiao has woken up."
There were many red marks on Goudan and Dachengzi's arms, probably from being scratched while picking wild fruits.
It would be a lie for Yang Baiyi to say that he was not touched. Yesterday, these children brought firewood, and today they braved the scorching heat to pick wild fruits for Xiaoxiao.
The wild fruits on the mountain are one of the few snacks for rural children. They must have traveled to many places to pick so many!
