In the next few days, the educated youth went to work honestly and conscientiously every day. After Yang Baiyi's last warning, no one dared to say anything about being lazy.
Although it was a scorching summer day and everyone was often covered in sweat and sore all over after a day's work, stewing a wild boar every day made everyone feel both happy and miserable.
"This is the last one. After we finish this badger, we'll have to eat coarse food again."
Everyone sat together and enjoyed the last meal.
This time they were really sitting around, not squatting. Just now, a group of people went to Chen Mutou's house and took back the prepared tables, chairs, benches, and cabinets.
In the past few days, Yang Baiyi has discovered hares and wild hogs, but he did not take any action.
No matter how good something is, if it comes too easily, people often don’t cherish it.
Besides, although you don't have to hand in small prey, if you can catch them every day and have meat every day, it's inevitable that people will be jealous over time.
"This is already very good. If it weren't for Comrade Yang Baiyi, we wouldn't have had this great treat.
I’m not afraid of being laughed at, but we couldn’t even eat this much meat in a year before.”
Li Xue looked at Yang Baiyi with gratitude.
"Xiaoxue, I'm sorry for making you suffer."
Han Fei said guiltily.
"Don't say that. As long as I can be with you, I'm willing to endure any hardship."
There was a hint of determination in Li Xue's shy tone.
"This is the loyal love of the proletariat. As long as we have firm faith, we, the successors of communism, will have nothing to fear."
"What an enviable couple! I hope I can meet a like-minded revolutionary partner in the future and spend my life fighting for communism together."
…
Everyone's passionate expressions were quite characteristic of the times, and Yang Baiyi found them very interesting.
"Xiaoxiao, where did you go this morning? Look at how dirty you are."
These past few days, Yang Xiaoxiao had been completely having fun. She would say hello to Yang Baiyi every day and disappear all day long, only coming back to eat and sleep.
"Today we went to rob bird nests and took out a lot of bird eggs, which we roasted over a fire and ate.
Brother, you don’t know, Brother Goudan and Brother Dachengzi are very fast at climbing trees, just like monkeys, they climbed up in a flash.”
Yang Xiaoxiao said excitedly.
Although Yang Xiaoxiao has no shortage of snacks, she still firmly believes that the things she and her friends find are the most delicious.
After work in the afternoon, as usual, Yang Baiyi and Lin Wanru went to the river to wash clothes together.
Several other female educated youth also came to wash clothes, but they were tactful enough not to get together with the two of them and left them enough space.
"Wanru, I want to ask the team leader for a piece of residential land and build a small courtyard to live alone.
Xiaoxiao can't live without you anymore. Would you like to move in and live with us when the time comes?
You and Xiaoxiao will share a room, and I'll stay in a separate room. Please rest assured that I won't do anything inappropriate."
After considering for a few days, Yang Baiyi decided to move out and live alone.
Yang Baiyi felt aggrieved no matter how he thought about it, as he had to guard a space full of unused supplies and just endure the hardship.
"Comrade Yang Baiyi, this is inappropriate, isn't it? I'm afraid people will gossip about it."
Lin Wanru was a little hesitant.
When she went to the countryside, her parents repeatedly warned her not to fall in love or get married there.
As a result, on the first day in the countryside, I was deeply attracted to a male comrade.
Lin Wanru didn't want to miss Yang Baiyi, nor did she want to avoid her inner feelings. She planned to let nature take its course and get along slowly with Yang Baiyi.
If they get along well and are compatible in all aspects, Lin Wanru plans to write a letter to her family, explaining Yang Baiyi's strengths and asking for their consent to their relationship.
If you find that you are not suitable for each other while getting along, then just be friends again.
But Yang Baiyi suddenly said that he wanted to build a house and move out alone, and wanted her to move in with him. Lin Wanru was not prepared at all.
"Sister Wanru, don't you like Xiaoxiao anymore? Don't you want to sleep with Xiaoxiao?"
Yang Xiaoxiao's big eyes quickly filled with tears.
"No, Sister Wanru really likes Xiaoxiao, but if Sister lives in your house, people will gossip about her."
Lin Wanru quickly explained.
"It's still early, and building a house won't be completed in a day or two. Think about it again. There's no rush."
The next day, Yang Baiyi took advantage of the opportunity to catch two wild boars in the weeds, broke their necks and put them into the space.
In the evening, Yang Baiyi did not go to take a bath with everyone, but went to the captain's house under the cover of darkness.
The kitchen was right at the entrance of the captain's house. The captain's wife Wang Hui had just come out after cleaning the kitchen and met Yang Baiyi.
"Auntie, is the captain home?"
Yang Baiyi asked politely.
"I'm at home, I just finished my meal, and I'm resting in the main room. Come on, young man, why are you carrying things?"
Wang Hui saw the wild boar in Yang Baiyi's hand at a glance and was extremely enthusiastic.
"I happened to catch this today while clearing the land. I'll give it to the kids to try."
As he said that, Yang Baiyi was about to hand the wild boar to Wang Hui.
"You old woman, I don't think you dare to accept it."
Chen Baiwang walked out of the house.
"I didn't say I wanted to take it back! Why are you so angry? Young man, we can't take your badger."
Wang Hui smiled awkwardly and withdrew her hand that was about to take the badger.
"Comrade Yang Baiyi, is there anything I can help you with? Come inside and talk."
Yang Baiyi followed Chen Baiwang into the house and casually put the badger on the ground.
"Captain, it's like this. My sister and I have been living in the educated youth compound for a long time, and it's not very convenient for us to stay here for a long time.
I was just wondering if the production team could grant me a piece of residential land so I could build a house and move out.”
Yang Baiyi did not beat around the bush, and people from Northeast China don't like people who talk in circles.
"Yes, when you went to the countryside to work in the production team, your household registration was transferred along with you. In fact, you are now members of the Chenjiatun Production Team.
It is completely reasonable and legitimate for members to request the allocation of homesteads.
It’s just that the position may be a little off, the positions closer to the center are all occupied.”
Chen Baiwang said readily.
"It doesn't matter if it's a little out of the way, as long as I have a place to live, I don't have any requirements for location."
The location is a bit out of the way, which is just convenient for closing the door and living his own life, which Yang Baiyi couldn't ask for more.
"Okay, I'll take you to have a look after work tomorrow. If you're satisfied, I can allocate it to you as a homestead."
In the sparsely populated rural areas of Northeast China, there are plenty of idle places, so Chen Baiwang certainly would not make things difficult for Yang Baiyi.
"Captain, you are truly a good cadre who is dedicated to serving the people! You think about what the members think and worry about what the members worry about.
Captain, I won't disturb your rest, I'll go back first."
Having achieved his goal, Yang Baiyi planned to say goodbye.
It's summer now, and if someone wants to wipe themselves or take a shower, it would be inconvenient for me to be here.
