Rebirth: Starting from the Cafeteria

Chapter 29 Entering the Mountain
Director Zhao Dajun looked at the new young man, spread his hands and said:

"This is the situation in the field. I have repeatedly approached the bureau, but everyone just passed the buck. In the end, they just told us to hold out until the spring."

"Then I understand. Thank you Director Zhao for clearing up my confusion."

Du Shaojie is a small figure with little influence, and he has done his best so far.

He then stood up and returned to the cafeteria.

Lunch was still just cabbage and radish, which even he found a bit disgusting.

Chen Jizhou and his colleagues participated in labor in the morning, organized study in the afternoon, and were free to move around after dinner.

Du Shaojie, carrying a bottle of Erguotou, strolled to their dormitory.

When I entered the room, I found that Chen Jizhou and his roommates' dormitory was not as good as my own. At least I had a single room, but they all had four-person rooms.

At this time, Chen Jizhou was playing chess with Zhai Yucheng, and there were many people watching the game nearby.

"General!"

Zhai Yucheng was clearly more skilled, and this move was the winning move.

"Wait a minute, I just felt dizzy, so I'll take this step back first."

Chen Jizhou refused to do this, and the two of them started arguing.

Everyone is used to it. One wants to take back his move while the other refuses to give in. This kind of situation happens almost every day and there is nothing strange about it.

At this time, Chen Jizhou looked up and saw Du Shaojie, and quickly reached out to mess up the chessboard, saying: "Xiao Du is here, I will let you go, and we will continue tomorrow."

Zhai Yucheng laughed and then stood up.

"I hope I didn't disturb your fun?"

Du Shaojie couldn't help but smile. Everyone has another unknown side. Isn't this just broadening his horizons?
He walked up to everyone and greeted them. Although this was a minor detail, if it was not done well, he would offend people for no reason. He would not make such a low-level mistake.

"It's not a good time, it's just to kill time. Xiao Du, I'm annoyed by this guy Lao Zhai, if you don't mind, please go out with me for a walk."

Chen Jizhou looked at the people in the room, then turned around and walked out.

"Old Chen, where are you running to? I'm going too."

Zhai Yucheng followed closely behind, and Du Shaojie then nodded to everyone and followed.

On the way, Chen Jizhou did not ask Du Shaojie why he was transferred to the farm. Such a matter must be approved by Wu Mingde.

He only asked about his family situation. He was very pleased to hear that Du Shaojie had visited his home to pay New Year's greetings during the Spring Festival.

Zhai Yucheng and Du Shaojie didn't have much personal contact, and they were silent all the way. The reason he followed was mainly because the room was too stuffy and he wanted to get some fresh air.

"Old Director, Chief Engineer Zhai, the cafeteria doesn't have much food at all. I can't even make something delicious for you. But I have something good here. Are you interested?"

The three men walked away unknowingly and came to the cowshed.

Only then did Du Shaojie take out the Erguotou in his arms and shook it in front of the two people.

"Erguotou? You're such a stickler for it, Old Chen didn't misjudge you. Come on, let's go over there and have a couple of sips. The alcohol bug in my stomach is coming out."

Zhai Yucheng was overjoyed. He used to like drinking a little every day. Although he was not a heavy drinker, it was a hobby after all.

Chen Jizhou could also drink some, especially on the farm, it was really a pleasure to have a few sips.

So the three of them sneaked to a sheltered place behind the cowshed, didn't care whether the ground was dirty or not, moved a few stones to sit down, and then opened the bottle of wine.

If there were no wine glasses, they would just drink from the bottle. The three of them took turns and no one cared to look down on anyone else.

Du Shaojie just nodded, and Chen Jizhou and Zhai Yucheng drank half of the bottle, then carefully put the cap back on.

"Xiao Du, there are a few old friends who like this. I want to bring it back for them to try. Do you have any objection?"

Chen Jizhou and Zhai Yucheng sighed with satisfaction, and then planned to take the remaining half bottle of wine back to share with their old friends.

Du Shaojie naturally had no objection, he sent the two back to the dormitory and turned away. Time passed day by day.

The ice and snow have completely melted, and spring has returned to the earth.

The saxaul trees on the banks of the Laolong River have sprouted new buds, and the mountains on the other side of the river are also covered with a faint green.

The spring sowing work has been completed, and the vegetables planted will be ripe in one or two months. During this period, the bureau allocated a batch of supplies to the farm, and the food has finally improved a little.

"Master Du, my husband and a few people from the farm have gone into the mountains to hunt yellow sheep. If we can catch one, we'll have meat to eat."

Qin Xiaomei's husband works in the farm office and is usually responsible for the security of the farm.

In the mountains on the other side of the river, there are not only gazelles and hares, but also wolves. The pigs raised on the farm were once attacked by wolves, and it was finally killed by the farm staff.

It is very dangerous to go into the mountains unarmed, but there is nothing to be afraid of since the security guards carry weapons with them.

"That's great, I hope your man can return with a great harvest."

Du Shaojie also wanted to go into the mountains, but his duties did not allow it.

Every day, he doesn't take care of anything except breakfast. He is indispensable for lunch and dinner, so he doesn't have time to run into the mountains.

But to be honest, the meat of wild animals is generally rougher and is really not as delicious as the meat of domestic animals.

"My little sister's man is very capable. If you don't believe me, ask her."

Li Guixiang suddenly said something at the side, which made Du Shaojie dare not respond.

Qin Xiaomei laughed and took a basin of potatoes to wash them.

After dinner, the few people who had gone into the mountains had not returned. As the sky gradually darkened and the dark night fell, many people could no longer sit still.

Zhao Dajun discussed with the people from the farm and decided to organize the young and strong people on the farm to go into the mountains to search.

Du Shaojie was also a young and strong man, so he was also drafted. More than 30 young men held torches, crossed the river on a simple bridge five miles away, and then walked towards the mountains.

Qin Xiaomei was worried about her man and was also in the team.

The leader was Zhao Dajun. Chen Jizhou and his group were not allowed to come because they were afraid that they would be in danger.

Du Shaojie actually felt a little guilty. In addition to the torch and shovel handle in his hand, he also had a kitchen knife in his schoolbag.

"Master Du, don't be afraid. Just follow me and nothing will happen to you. If the wolf cub dares to show up, I will beat it down with one stick, unless we encounter a pack of wolves."

The Northwestern Wolf and the Siberian Tiger are famous far and wide.

But in the eyes of Qin Xiaomei and her husband, the wolf was not a big threat. Qin Xiaomei estimated that her husband and his companions must have encountered something else, rather than being attacked by wild animals.

Facts proved that Qin Xiaomei's judgment was quite accurate. After the team had marched in the mountains for more than an hour, they met Chu Xiaowei and his friends.

Chu Xiaowei is Qin Xiaomei's husband. Du Shaojie finds that they are really a good match, and each is stronger than the other.

"Wow, we actually shot down two gazelles. Chu Xiaowei, why did you stop halfway? Are you unable to lift them?"

When Zhao's army got closer, they saw two yellow sheep.

The two sheep weigh about 50 kilograms in total, so it should be no problem for the four of them to carry them back.

Chu Xiaowei pointed at his companions, one of them accidentally sprained his foot, otherwise they would have arrived home earlier.

"Go, go back."

Zhao Dajun arranged for people to carry the wounded, and then a group of people carried the yellow sheep back to the farm.

　Happy New Year to my friends!

　　I wish you all a prosperous Year of the Dragon and all the best!
