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

Chapter 45 Stewed Meat

While everyone was chatting animatedly, Lin Zhen, who was not far away, suddenly fainted, and the scene became chaotic.

Chen Huaiyang frowned and followed.

The female comrade carried the person to a cool place, wiped his face with a towel, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the person had woken up.

"Drink some water first. Look at your purple face. Did you not eat well?"

"Lin Zhiqing, you are not feeling well and you need to tell me what you want to say. Don't force yourself to do it. It could easily cause death. Go back and rest first!"

"Yeah, we can't do anything reckless!"

"You educated youth have come down to the mountains to do construction, so you must not cause any deaths."

Chen Huaiyang understood without even looking that it was caused by low blood sugar. He only had a steamed bun with a bowl of vegetable soup for one meal, and a thin meal at night. He ate very little at night, so it would be strange if he didn't feel dizzy!

When the man woke up, he handed him two candies and told him, "Go back and rest! If you keep going like this, you will collapse sooner or later."

Although they were all educated youth, it was not easy to send them back. He didn't want any other gossip to spread, so he just gave them the necessary reminders.

In the end, it was Yang Xiaolin who sent her there. After all, they lived together and were both dizzy. As they were both educated youth, they naturally felt soft-hearted and took on the responsibility of escorting her.

Chen Huaiyang didn't care about what others thought and just did what he was doing. Little did he know that this incident caused Lin Zhen to go directly to Chen Huaiyang at night when no one was paying attention.

Chen Huaiyang was lying on the bed. He was stunned when he heard the knock on the door. Who would come to see him at this time?

Could it be Yang Xiaolin?

Come to think of it, it’s unlikely.

I still got up and opened the door, and was stunned when I saw the person outside.

"What's up?"

Standing outside the door and asking questions, he didn't dare to lead the person into the house, as it would be difficult to explain if something happened.

One must be on guard against others. If a man and a woman are alone, they still need to be on guard. If someone wants to blame him and something happens, he won't even have a chance to explain himself.

Lin Zhen looked at him, hesitating to speak, and finally mustered up the courage to ask, "Chen Zhiqing, do you mind starting a closer revolutionary friendship?"

Chen Huaiyang was stunned after hearing this. What she meant was that she wanted to date him, or even marry him. He couldn't agree to this!

"I'm sorry, Lin Zhiqing. You know I'm not very good at work. To put it bluntly, I can't even support myself. I really don't have the ability to bear the cost of another person's food."

"My family is not that well-off. They have to live frugally to allow me to have sex. It would be difficult to get more."

"I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. I don't plan to date someone here. It's a long way to go. Who doesn't want to go back to their hometown? I don't plan to settle down here."

"You must be tired now, go back and rest! I will pretend I didn't hear what you said today."

Chen Huaiyang didn't think he was that charming. It was just that the other party felt that he was generous and had a lot of food, so he made the decision after weighing the pros and cons.

He did not comment on this idea, but he just wanted to say that the person who is being schemed against by others should still be sober when the time comes.

After that, I forgot about it.

The food we received has been used up, and the work points can only be exchanged for food at the end of the month, so now we can only apply for an advance payment.

We plan to go there together while we have some free time at noon.

Chen Huaiyang disappeared and did not go there.

The man with glasses led the two female educated youth there. They went there with full confidence, but came back with a lot of arrogance.

When he got back to the educated youth camp, he started to curse. "Those cadres are too cunning! They are obviously withholding our food. They are too blatant in doing things."

If the other side had not had so many people, he would have wanted to fight. The work points he earned with great difficulty were withheld when he exchanged them for food. Life was already difficult, and this made it even more difficult.

Yang Xiaolin sighed, "I should have waited for Chen Zhiqing to come with me. He is more eloquent than us. We were too easily taken advantage of in the past."

The cadres looked at her with particularly explicit eyes. If it weren't for the fact that they were in public and there were male comrades following them, they would have probably taken action.

When you go to collect food in the future, you still need a reliable person to accompany you.

Lin Zhen was particularly silent, and her presence became increasingly less visible. Someone touched her hand when they weren't looking. The feeling was extremely disgusting when she recalled it now.

Why do they want to go to the countryside?
Coming to such a shabby place, the men in the team seemed to have never seen a woman before. Their eyes were glued to her and couldn't be moved away.

Just thinking about it makes me feel like there is no hope for the future, but I can’t go back, so I can only endure it.

The man with glasses was still extremely indignant, "Where did Chen Huaiyang go? He was usually seen everywhere, but now he is nowhere to be seen."

The two female educated youths looked at each other and finally shook their heads, "I didn't see him. It seems that he didn't go to work today."

The three of them waited and waited, and when it was time to go to work again, they had to go to work again. When they came back from work again, the whole youth camp was filled with the delicious smell of meat.

When Chen Huaiyang saw them, he greeted them warmly, "You're back. Let's have a good meal today."

Seeing the delicious meat, the three people's frustrated expressions immediately disappeared, and they asked one after another, "Where did you get the meat? Is this cat meat?"

Chen Huaiyang nodded, "You're right, it's leopard cat meat. I went to catch this guy today before going to work."

"We haven't had meat since we came here. It's too hard to endure. We have to have some meat to survive."

"Liu Jun is not here, let's call the three educated youths next door!"

Every time Chen Huaiyang eats a big dish, he likes to stew white rice, so you can imagine how much he is looking forward to this meal.

When the old educated youth were called, they all looked nervous. They swallowed frequently after smelling the food, but they did not forget to prepare their own dinner.

People have called us, but we still have to take the necessary food with us.

In the past, when people ate other people’s meat, they were so shy that their faces turned red. They would not even give the other person common things like vegetables, but instead snatch food from other people’s mouths. Anyone with a sense of shame would feel ashamed.

But that's meat, no one can say no.

I haven't tasted meat for more than half a year. My stomach is so dull that I don't even know the taste of meat.

Just smelling the aroma makes my stomach growl. You can imagine how greedy I am.

Looking at the big plate of meat in the pot, everyone's eyes glowed green, and their eyes were glued to it, unable to move away.

"How about putting two potatoes in it and simmering it? Or you can put some beans in it, it will definitely smell delicious when wrapped in meat."

Chen Huaiyang thought about it and finally agreed with them. After all, they all wanted meat, and vegetables with the taste of meat were delicious.

This meal may last until the New Year, so eat as much as you can, and every bite counts!

As a result, before the dishes were served, Mei Niang came running over with Liu Jun.

"You bastards, you have no conscience! I set traps in the mountains, and you came to steal my prey!"

"Aren't you educated youth very knowledgeable? How can you steal other people's things? Do you have any conscience?"
