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

Chapter 68: The thief is guilty and runs away!

The more Wang Dani thought about it, the more she felt that she should go find someone else, "Mom, you guys have a good relationship with him, so just open your mouth again."

"I married into the town. If I can make a nice quilt, you will be proud too!"

"Just help me make another trip! What if Chen Zhiqing is a kind-hearted person? If I live a good life, everyone will envy you!"

The captain's wife couldn't stand it any longer and had to agree, "He's going up the mountain to chop firewood now. I'll go find someone later." She risked her face.

Chen Huaiyang naturally didn't know about this episode. At this time, there were many people in the mountains, and there was no chance to be alone with Yang Xiaolin, so he didn't get close to them.

After others had finished chopping and left, Chen Huaiyang was still walking slowly.

Yang Xiaolin knocked on the firewood he had chopped with a knife. Chen Huaiyang raised his eyebrows when he heard the noise and said with a bright smile, "Xiaolin, the educated youth has made progress. You know to stay and accompany me."

Yang Xiaolin curled her lips and said she shouldn't have paid attention to him. A dog can't spit out ivory. She didn't say a single nice word, squatted down, and wanted to leave with the backpack on her back.

Chen Huaiyang quickly pressed it down, "Why is my mouth so unpleasant?"

"I was just talking nonsense, please don't take it as an offense!"

Yang Xiaolin snorted coldly, "The one who pushes the envelope is you."

Chen Huaiyang quickly bundled the firewood and placed it in a hidden place to the side, then looked at Yang Xiaolin and said, "Let me take you to the mountains to see if there is any prey?"

Yang Xiaolin was resistant. "I don't want to go. If we run into a big guy, we won't be a match for him."

Chen Huaiyang looked at her with a smile, "You really don't want to go? I set up a net where sparrows are. If we catch a few sparrows, it will be enough for a meal."

"Don't you want to drink the delicious porridge?"

Yang Xiaolin was hesitant, and was obviously convinced by him, "Are you sure nothing will happen? I don't want to accompany myself in this mountain."

Eating is a small matter, losing your life is a big matter.

Chen Huaiyang assured, "It'll be fine. It's not night time, and prey will be afraid. Even if they are looking for food, they will choose the night time. Prey will also be afraid in broad daylight."

"Let's go. Now that we're here, we can just stay for a little while. Aren't you craving for meat?"

“Although the sparrow is small, it still tastes delicious when cooked into porridge.”

Yang Xiaolin was convinced by him. If she had a full meal today, she wouldn't have to go to the state-owned restaurant tomorrow and could even save a meal.

I can't eat tonight, but according to Chen Huaiyang's personality, he will definitely have a big meal tomorrow.

Chen Huaiyang showed a triumphant smile, and laughed very happily.

The further they walked inside, the less they were afraid of bumping into people. Chen Huaiyang led her as they walked, turning left and right, almost making her dizzy.

Yang Xiaolin looked worried, "Don't get lost. If you can't find your way back, you really have to stay here!"

Chen Huaiyang grabbed her hand and patted it soothingly, "Don't worry, how could I bear to let you get lost here?"

"We'll be there soon. The place where we installed it is a bit hidden. We're afraid someone will find it and steal it."

Sure enough, after turning left and right, we arrived.

Seeing that there were indeed a few sparrows installed online, Yang Xiaolin smiled excitedly, "How did you know it could be installed?"

Chen Huaiyang said smugly, "It's not that difficult. There are a lot of sparrows here. As long as they fly here, they can always be loaded."

As he spoke, he grabbed it swiftly and stuffed it into the sack.

"There will be delicious meat porridge when we get back."

It didn't take long. After catching the fish, he fixed the net, slightly covered up the traces and returned.

As I was walking, I heard a noise ahead.

Hmmm and ahhh.

Chen Huaiyang paused, an indescribable look appeared on his face, and finally he shouted.

"Is there a wild rabbit? I heard a rustling sound."

It was a very loud sound, which startled the person directly. Then he was seen running away in panic.

Chen Huaiyang smiled with satisfaction. How could he tolerate having fun under his nose and letting him see how uncomfortable he was?

After running away, I vaguely saw people.

Looking at their appearance, they look very much like Lai San and Liang Guafu who were beaten up. It's true that a dog can't change its bad nature. Only Liu Jun would like such a woman.

Yang Xiaolin nervously grasped his hand, and her arm was pinched so hard that it hurt. Chen Huaiyang looked at him and asked, "Why are you holding me so tightly?"

Yang Xiaolin was so nervous that she couldn't even breathe. She finally let out a breath, "You really dare! They are together, can't they be..."

Chen Huaiyang shrugged. "Isn't this obvious? It's in the wilderness here, and there's no one watching. It's easy to do bad things."

"I won't indulge them. If they want to dirty my ears, I won't tolerate them at all. They are guilty as thieves. Don't you see they just run away?"

As for what Lai San would do, it was not his concern. This was not their home, so they could not be allowed to act as they pleased.

Asking him to wait until they finish their business before leaving is impossible; he can't wait even for a moment.

It doesn't make sense that he would feel uncomfortable while others feel happy.

Yang Xiaolin was speechless for a moment, "Aren't you afraid that he will bear a grudge against you and cause trouble for you again?"

Chen Huaiyang rolled his eyes. "If we have a conflict, it's because of you. You should be responsible." "Let's go now. Stop thinking about it. Go back and make some porridge."

He brought back the six sparrows and attracted the attention of all the educated youth. When they saw the meat, their eyes sparkled with gold.

Before I could even taste it, I was swallowing it desperately.

Chen Huaiyang said, "Let's cook meat porridge tonight. Those who need to take out food should take out food, and those who need to deal with things should deal with them."

When the educated youth heard this, they immediately got to work. Who wouldn't be enthusiastic when there was meat to eat?

Unless that's someone with a problematic mindset.

Chen Huaiyang, on the other hand, became a lazy person. He sat by the fire and roasted sweet potatoes and ate them slowly and leisurely, not feeling any guilt at all for replacing others.

While Yang Xiaolin was washing rice, she looked at him and said, "Everyone is busy, how can you sit here?"

Chen Huaiyang raised his eyes to look at her, "There are only a few sparrows, do you still want me to get involved?"

"We have to make them do some work, so they won't feel guilty when they eat! If I do everything, won't they be trembling with fear?"

Yang Xiaolin: “…” Convinced.

It's impossible to reason with someone who uses perverse logic.

A pot of fragrant meat mixed with millet, rice, a little salt and oil, and sprinkled with chopped green onions.

Although there were not many pieces of meat and not much to eat, it brought together the hearts of the educated youth.

"How does this sparrow pretend?"

Chen Huaiyang said: "Online installation!"

"As for the internet, I accidentally exchanged it with someone else. If you want to find it, it may be a bit difficult."

Everyone: “…” They are not stupid, how could they not know?

Forget it, I can’t compare. The other party is a person with profound background.

They don't even know how to find a net.

Just as we finished our meal, the captain's wife came to our house, having come just after dinner.

In this era, no one had enough food. Those who regarded eating other people's food as if it was a death sentence would naturally not be so tactless as to come and share a piece of the pie.

Chen Huaiyang was startled when he saw the person and stood up quickly, "Auntie, if you have something to do, you can just ask me during the day. Why are you going out in the dark?"

I have to say that Chen Huaiyang's words and actions make people feel comfortable and give people a feeling of being highly valued. Anyone who listens to him will be happy.

The captain's wife looked a little embarrassed, so Chen Huaiyang took her aside and said, "Auntie, I have troubled you a lot in the past. Just tell me if you have anything to say."

The captain's wife said with a hint of embarrassment, "Didn't you give me a piece of cloth before? My daughter is getting married, so I wanted to ask you if you could exchange some more."

"We'll pay for money, tickets, and everything else."

"In fact, I don't even have the face to ask you. I couldn't bear my daughter's pleading. I wanted to arrange a job for you, but since you didn't want to, I couldn't ask you."

After Chen Huaiyang heard this, his face froze.

He coughed lightly, with a hint of unnaturalness on his face. He really thought of himself as a popular person, so that everyone would be thinking about him!

It turned out to be a misunderstanding. It turned out that the captain's daughter was getting married and wanted to buy a piece of cloth to make a nicer quilt for the bed.

If he had known this, he would not have refused outright. Even if he didn't do it, someone else would. The man with glasses has wasted a lot of his food. With such a big appetite, he needs to find a job to support himself!
"Auntie, you look so embarrassed, I thought it was a big deal!"

"It's difficult to get other things, but it's not difficult to get cloth. I have a more exquisite piece. Wait a minute, I'll get it for you."

"I got this fabric from a salesperson, so it has some minor flaws, but it's definitely good quality, and the bright red color is just right!"

"For the job I did earlier, can you ask your uncle to give our educated youth a chance? Although I'm lazy, there are definitely many diligent people out there."

"Of course, this is under the condition that it is not embarrassing. If it is embarrassing, we can't use this back door."

The captain's wife said, "I'll go back and tell your uncle how much the cloth costs."

Chen Huaiyang pushed forward and said, "Auntie, please don't say these polite words. It will be enough if I can have a bite of it during the banquet. This thing is not expensive. Just consider it as my gift."

During this period, only families with very close relationships would share quilts, after all, making a quilt was not cheap.

The captain's wife hesitated. She could only take advantage of this!
Chen Huaiyang saw through it, and tried to persuade the person with his eloquent tongue, making the person feel relieved, and finally he left with the cloth with a bright smile.

The man with glasses came out after everyone left. He looked at Chen Huaiyang with an expression that was hard to describe. "That's cloth, right? You just left it like that?"

"You are always so extravagant. What if you can't give gifts in the future?"

"What benefits did you just ask for from the educated youth?"

Chen Huaiyang looked at him, "You're worried about a lot?"

He has a lot of things stored in his space!

There was a lot of fabric, and he thought it was worth it if it could help to strengthen the relationship.

"You have this time to prepare well. The team plans to assign one person to draw the blackboard newspaper and be responsible for planning. You will have four centimeters a day. Do you think you can be selected?
