The Red Era: Starting from Being an Educated Youth in the Countryside

Chapter 39: Mailed Supplies Arrived
At night, Chen Huaiyang fell asleep soundly, and Yang Xiaolin appeared in his dream. The fair and beautiful female educated youth nestled in his arms with a shy look on her face.

The weather was hot and humid, the clothes were thin, and they were so close to each other that they could feel each other's body temperature. Especially when he hugged her tightly and heard her soft voice, it was such a beautiful scene that he woke up immediately.

Chen Huaiyang opened his eyes, looked at the dark night in confusion, sighed, got up and secretly washed his pants. Although he didn't want to admit it, he really was thinking about the female educated youth.

I dreamed about people late at night. If I say I have no thoughts, no one will believe me!

Everyone loves beauty, and it's normal to have ideas about it. But he is a normal man, and it would be difficult if he didn't have any ideas!

Later, I was entangled in the dream again. I was a little confused when I got up. After washing up and preparing breakfast, it was their turn today.

I thought Yang Xiaolin wouldn't show up, but she turned out to be very calm, acting as if nothing had happened.

On the other hand, Chen Huaiyang didn't even dare to glance at her, for fear that she would haunt him in his dreams at night and keep him awake all night.

For several days, although the two cooperated with each other, there was no communication at all. Chen Huaiyang had a lot of energy to spare, so he worked very efficiently and ignored Mei Niang when she occasionally took advantage of him.

The two of them have a rare tacit understanding in cooperation.

A few days later, he finally got over the impact of the fall and returned to his lazy self.

The days passed by calmly and without haste. In the blink of an eye, the rice was harvested with everyone's concerted efforts and sent to the drying yard, where it could be dried and stored in the granary.

On October 10th, at noon, Chen Huaiyang was lying lazily after eating.

The postman came over with a huge package, shouting all the way, "Chen Huaiyang, supplies have been delivered to your home."

Chen Huaiyang heard the noise and came out to see a big bag full of parcels. The postman was sweating profusely when he brought it to him. Chen's mother had prepared a lot.

After unloading the package, Chen Huaiyang stuffed some candy into the man's pocket and said, "Thank you, comrade, for taking the trouble to make this trip."

The postman shirked his responsibility, “You’re too polite.”

Chen Huaiyang insisted, "It's a long way to go, and it should be so."

During the lunch break, everyone came over to take a look at the huge package.

Liu Jun said with envy in his tone, "Chen Huaiyang, your family is really willing to send you so many things!"

Chen Huaiyang looked up and asked innocently, not caring whether it would hurt someone's feelings or not, "Hasn't your family ever mailed anything to you?"

Liu Jun curled his lips, feeling choked. His family had never sent him anything, and they kept reminding him to find a way to get some food back!
After making this comparison, I felt twisted in my heart. I had nothing, but the other party was fully prepared. How could we be human beings, but with such a big difference?
Chen Huaiyang didn't care about him. What others thought was none of his business. He just took the package and went back to the room.

The weather in the north is cold, so most of the clothes are crocheted cotton shoes and sweaters, which are obviously the work of my second sister.

I prepared two sets of thick cotton-padded clothes and trousers, as well as autumn clothes and hats. Everything from inside to outside was prepared.

It was not useful in this weather, so Chen Huaiyang put it aside. Then he took the bacon, cut a small piece, and threw the rest into the space.

I haven't tasted meat for half a month, so I have to improve my diet. There is meat in the space, but it smells so bad when I take it out that I dare not eat it at all. The man with glasses has a dog's nose and can smell any smell.

"Soak the meat first. We'll have bacon tonight."

Three pairs of eyes looked at him at the same time. Chen Huaiyang could even see them swallowing. They were indeed very greedy.

Who wouldn’t be greedy?

If it weren't for the 20 kilograms of rice that Chen Huaiyang bought, they couldn't even have porridge, and could only have pickled cabbage and radish soup with steamed bread. If they couldn't even have steamed bread, they would have had potatoes and sweet potatoes. Not to mention the smell of meat, even the oil and salt were scarce.

The pickled radish that Chen Huaiyang made smelled delicious, but no one dared to eat it. Once you ate it, your stomach would feel even more hungry, and you would cry out in hunger and feel extremely uncomfortable.

Only he couldn't resist the temptation and would try one occasionally.

"Are you really going to let us eat the bacon that your family sent over? Why don't you cook it yourself?"

Chen Huaiyang waved his hand, "I'm eating happily while you guys are swallowing your food. How can I eat?"

"It's just a small piece, stir-fried with pickled vegetables, it's good to have a taste of meat."

The best way to cook bacon is to stir-fry it with garlic sprouts, but there is not much bacon, so you can only add other vegetables to make it taste better.

Thus, everyone looked forward to the arrival of evening.

Chen Huaiyang waved his hand and cooked a pot of rice. He had to have a good meal today.

Wash and chop the sauerkraut, fry it until dry. Add water and stew the bacon until soft, then fry until the oil stains come out. Add the sauerkraut and garlic leaves, stir-fry. Add some soy sauce, and stir-fry until fragrant before serving.

There was only one dish, and no whole grains were served.

The three of them looked at this grand gesture and did not dare to sit at the table.

Chen Huaiyang shouted, "What are you standing there for? Aren't you hungry?"

The man with glasses didn't care and sat down directly. It had been a long time since he had a meal. There was no point in being reserved. "I'll get you some more firewood when the time comes. I guarantee you won't be cold in the winter."

If you don’t eat something delicious, you will be struck by lightning. Eat it first.

The male educated youth sat down, and the female educated youth couldn't refuse. There were no other dishes prepared, so she would have to go hungry if she didn't eat.

The four of them sat around the table, and no one greeted the old educated youth. The way people get along with each other requires a certain aura. The other party had vegetables in his vegetable garden, but he was shouting loudly not to let the new educated youth take advantage of him.

At this point, who would care?

At most you won’t eat it. It’s not like you can’t get vegetables.

The planted seedlings are growing well and are lush and green. We don’t have to worry about stockpiling vegetables for the New Year, and we don’t have to ask anyone for help.

So, now when we eat meat, we don’t ask them to do so. It is enough to let them smell the meaty smell.

When I tasted the meat again, I realized how greedy I was. I chewed the fat piece in my mouth, the juice came out, the fragrance spread, and I was so happy that I almost closed my eyes.

"The meat is really delicious!"

No one was too busy eating to talk, not only the female educated youth but also the male educated youth.

It was not the first time that Chen Huaiyang had eaten rice. He was so hungry that he took out some rice from the space and ate it. But now, everyone was eating it with relish, and he also thought it was delicious!
On the other side, the old educated youth smelled the food and ate the tasteless dinner, swallowing it repeatedly out of greed. But what was the use of being greedy?

They didn't even let people pick the vegetables from their own fields, so it's normal for them not to invite them when they eat meat. There's no reason for them to be generous to others!
Liu Jun, however, did not seem to be offended. "These new educated youth really don't take us seriously. They ate meat without even saying a word."

Several people looked embarrassed and didn't say anything. They were stingy themselves, so why should others be generous?
