Reborn in the red age

Chapter 43 Brother Li, let’s go into the mountains to hunt wild boars tomorrow.

Wang Weimin noticed the gazes of the old educated youths over there, and a smirk flashed at the corner of his mouth. He picked up a piece of fat with an extremely exaggerated expression, put it under his nose, smelled it, and said in a weird voice:
"It's great. In the past half month, my mouth has almost turned into a bird. Today, I have satisfied my craving. Why do you think this pork is so delicious?"

Seeing this guy stirring up trouble, Li Qingfeng felt tired for a while. This guy is really vindictive. The trivial things that happened when he first came here haven't even passed yet. He doesn't know anything about the world. This will all happen in the next few years. Friends living under the same roof have made their relationship so tense. What do you want to do?

"Hmph, isn't it just a can of pork? What's the point? Tomorrow I'll go to the village to borrow a trap and go into the mountains early to set up. Let's eat pheasant tomorrow."

After the two parties agreed not to fight anymore, Sun Guoqing became defensive again. Although he did not dare to stare at Hu Jiabao and the two female educated youths anymore, he often targeted Wang Weimin verbally.

Regarding Sun Guoqing's words, Wang Weimin curled his lips, obviously not believing it, and immediately wanted to refute, but was glared at by Li Qingfeng, and then reluctantly ate his food.

Wang Weimin didn't believe that Sun Guoqing could get pheasants, but those old educated youths had been here for a long time and knew the local conditions, so they were very moved by what Wang Weimin said.

As the saying goes, you rely on the mountain to eat the mountain. There are many wild animals on the mountain these days. Wild boars come down from the mountain and waste food in the village several times every year.

"Really or not? Do you really want to go to the mountains tomorrow for National Day?" Wang Xianglan was the most greedy about eating meat. She quickly put down her bowl and chopsticks and asked Sun Guoqing if what he said was true.

Zhao Haixia and Qian Aimin also looked at Sun Guoqing eagerly. Only Zhou Yongjun was still eating from his bowl.

Facing the expectant looks of the three people, Sun Guoqing wanted to back down. He had to walk through a difficult mountain road to get into the mountain, and he also had to ask for leave from the brigade, which meant he lost one day's work points. Sun Guoqing was a little reluctant to give up.

Even if you trap the pheasant, you won't be able to eat it alone, and you may encounter dangerous beasts like wild boars or wolves. Just now, I just had a hot head and couldn't stand Wang Weimin's arrogance, so I said it angrily. If you go into the mountain and take a trap.

Just as he was about to deny it hesitantly, he heard Wang Weimin's annoying voice next to him: "Oh, man, I don't think you are a coward?"

"Shut up, no one will think you are dumb if you don't speak. Hurry up and eat your food." Li Qingfeng had a headache when he saw Wang Weimin's appearance. He stopped drinking porridge and scolded Wang Weimin with a straight face.

Seeing that Li Qingfeng was angry, Wang Weimin quickly lowered his head to eat, but his face was winking at Ma Wenhui and the others.

Being so provoked by Wang Weimin, Sun Guoqing stood up suddenly and said loudly: "Is there any lie? Just go. Tomorrow, no, the day after tomorrow at the latest, let's all eat pheasant meat."

After confirming that Sun Guoqing was really going, Zhao Haixia and the other three clapped their hands happily, thinking that they would have meat to eat soon, which made their dinner even more fragrant.

After dinner, Wang Weimin was sent to wash the dishes. Li Qingfeng and Ma Wenhui each lit up an after-dinner cigarette. After taking two puffs, they told Zhou Yongjun, who was also smoking, what they had heard: "Yongjun Brother, we will have five more educated youths coming here soon. Do you think the vegetable garden needs to be expanded? Let’s plant some cabbage before winter.”

"What? The educated youth are coming again? Is it true or false? How did you know?" Zhou Yongjun was stunned, he didn't even bother to smoke, and quickly asked whether the news was true or false.

The other people enjoying the shade in the courtyard also looked over. "Of course it's true. When we were drinking at the captain's house last night, the captain told me that he would be arriving the day after tomorrow and asked me to accompany him to the county to pick him up."

Everyone in the courtyard knew that Qingfeng Li was a popular person in the eyes of the captain. He had become famous in the village in half a month. When he heard that Qingfeng Li was going to pick up the educated youth with the captain, his eyes were filled with emotion. A flash of envy flashed through.

Going out to pick up educated youths with the brigade captain is also counted as work, and you get work points normally. You don't have to work to go to the county, and you still get work points. This kind of good thing does not happen to ordinary people.

After confirming that he was going to come to the educated youth, a trace of worry flashed across Zhou Yongjun's face, and he quickly asked Qingfeng Li about the accommodation issue: "We can't accommodate five people here at once in our small courtyard for educated youth. In winter, people can't sleep near the fire wall. Did the captain tell me how to solve the problem of accommodation?"

A kang can only sleep eight people in the summer, but can only sleep six in the winter. Now it can sleep nine people. If there are five more people, it will definitely not be able to accommodate them in the winter.

"I haven't said it yet. I'll wait until we get the details. But we will definitely build houses. The government's housing construction fees for educated youths are not free. We can fool them, but we cannot leave educated youths without a place to live."

Li Qingfeng also asked this question at that time, but the captain's words were vague and uncertain.

Zhou Yongjun thought for a while and stopped discussing the matter. The village needed to worry about the accommodation of educated youths. He was not even a captain, so why bother?

Five more mouths were about to appear out of thin air. The food in the courtyard was definitely not enough to eat. I didn’t know how to distribute the food in the village vegetable garden, so I simply stopped taking a break and organized the educated youth in the courtyard to pick up hoes and stay up all night. Open up wasteland.

The cabbage in the vegetable garden has been planted about ten days ago. It is best to plant some now, lest the brigade will not have enough cabbage and I will not be able to grow much in my yard.

The next morning, Sun Guoqing actually went to ask for leave from his team leader, borrowed some traps from the hunter in the village, and went into the mountains to trap pheasants. He didn't know if he could gain anything.

In the afternoon, Li Qingfeng and a group of educated youths came back from the fields. Before they even entered the door, they smelled a strong aroma of meat outside the door.

The old educated youths looked at each other, with joy on their faces, and quickly opened the door and ran in.

"Uh, Brother Li, did Sun Guoqing's grandson really catch something?" Wang Weimin stood there and turned to look at Qingfeng Li in disbelief.

"Otherwise, if you smell the smell of meat, you must have caught him. This Sun Guoqing is a fool." Ma Wenhui sniffed the smell of meat in the air and said to Wang Weimin with contempt.

Smelling the aroma of meat in the air, Li Qingfeng couldn't help but murmur in his mind, they said that the Northeast is rich in products. How about beating roe deer with a stick and scooping up fish with a gourd? Is this true?Can an educated youth just go to the mountains and set up a trap to get game?
Just as Qingfeng Li was muttering in his mind, Wang Weimin rubbed his neck unconvinced and pushed Qingfeng gently: "What's so big, Brother Li, let's go into the mountains to hunt wild boars tomorrow."
