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

Chapter 88 The turmoil caused by the military coat!

Reservoir fishing.

The weather was cold, and the exhalation was clearly audible as the voices spoke.

Regardless of the cold weather, the team members gathered together, talking in a lively manner with bright smiles on their faces, making the place particularly lively.

Children and women who came to join in the fun all came. You can imagine how much importance the once-a-year fishing season holds.

He was not afraid of the cold and was jumping around on the shore.

If the children were not restrained by adults, they would all want to go down and wade in the water!

Cold weather is not allowed. If you get sick from the cold, you have to spend money to buy medicine.

Chen Huaiyang stood behind the crowd and watched the show. One could imagine how cold the water was in the winter. Going into the water was a painful experience. Just stepping in required a lot of courage.

If it were autumn, he would give it a try. He didn't want to ruin himself in this weather. He might get sick and end up spending more money.

Fortunately, I went to send the supplies first, otherwise I might really be drafted into the army, and it would have been a dilemma whether to go into the water or not.

Chen Huaiyang knows his own limitations and should let his teammates do the charging and fighting tasks instead of embarrassing himself.

At this time, Fatty came up to him, stared at his clothes with burning eyes, touched them, and said with envy,

"Brother, your military coat is so impressive! When you put it on, everyone can't take their eyes off you. Is it hard to get this thing?"

He said with a smile, "Can I wear it when I get home? I've never had the pleasure of wearing a military coat!"

Chen Huaiyang glanced at him and didn't bother to pay attention to him. "Who asked me to go out yesterday? In the end, I disappeared. Can you be more reliable?"

"You are such a person, yet you dare to come in front of me and smile frivolously? Do you think you are so shameless?"

Fatty scratched his head and smiled awkwardly, "I didn't finish what my mom asked me to do, and I was afraid of getting beaten so I slipped back home."

"Don't be angry, I apologize to you."

Then he took out an egg and said, "Brother Yang, I brought this specially for you. It's from Minglu. My mother asked me to bring it to you."

As for Liu Xiaoyu's incident, he treated it as an accident. He didn't have the ability to solve problems for others.

"Brother, you haven't told me whether this military coat is easy to get. Is it possible for me to buy one?"

Chen Huaiyang took the egg from his hand and put it in his pocket, "Then I won't be polite, I'll treat you next time when there's meat." He could take it back to please his wife, and maybe he could get some benefits.

She raised her hand and patted his shoulder, saying in a persuasive way, "Don't worry about the clothes. My sister-in-law asked her brothers in the army to get them. My brother loves them very much. Only when I go to the countryside will I get to wear them."

"I'm afraid I won't be able to adapt to the northern weather and freeze to death. Otherwise, how could I have such a blessing!"

The implication is that you may not be able to get it in the city, let alone here, so there is no need to consider it at all.

A military coat is a symbol of status, but can it be easily obtained?
It's not just fat people, but all men will stare at them with expectant eyes. Who doesn't want such clothes? It makes you feel proud when you wear them.

Only now that we are fishing, I don’t feel a bit envious, otherwise I would have surrounded him out of curiosity.

It's a pity that they just think about it, because they can't afford it. People should know themselves and be content with having enough food and clothing. How dare they think about anything else?

At this time, a large number of women from the brigade who had some free time gathered around him. Fishing happened every year and it was nothing new to them. When they saw the clothes he was wearing, they all wanted to come over to take a look.

Everyone looked at it with bright eyes, and some touched it, as if it were a rare treasure.

"Little educated youth Chen, your clothes are so fancy. You look like someone from the city. You can tell your whole demeanor is different just by looking at your clothes."

A woman said with envy, "My daughter Xiu is a very well-behaved girl, and she is also very capable. Would you like her to be my son-in-law?"

The woman's loud questioning made the people around her laugh. "A Quan's family, please don't embarrass A Xiu. Comrade Xiao Chen is going back to the city. How could he be willing to settle down here?"

"It's enough to just look at such a handsome comrade. It's difficult to bring him home!"

I used to be wishful thinking, but now I understand clearly that the other party has a very rich family background and I will definitely transfer the person back if there is a chance.

Chen Huaiyang is handsome and many people are indeed attracted by his looks, but good looks cannot make a living, he still has to work hard.

His lazy and sloppy appearance had already discouraged many people from pursuing him. Now that he was dressed so revealingly, they were even more hesitant to think about him.

Chen Huaiyang made a gesture to beg for mercy, "Auntie, please forgive me! We dare not delay anyone!"

"Don't think my clothes are luxurious. They belong to my brother. I have to return them to him when I get back to the city. If I hadn't gone to town today and was shivering in the cold wind, I wouldn't have dared to take them out and wear them!"

"How many fish have you caught? How do we usually distribute them? How many fish can each team member get?"

Chen Huaiyang acted as if begging for mercy, but without making people feel that he was arrogant, so the women just laughed and changed the subject.

Bring the topic to fishing, but don't let the topic revolve around him, as it will easily cause trouble.

"You are a typical person who has no sense. If one person is full, the whole family will not be hungry. Okay, we will open our eyes and not make things difficult for you. Hurry up and go over to help!"

"It's very cold today, and it's a hassle to keep count! The captain has already looked at you several times. If you don't go over, I'm afraid we will be blamed."

Until he pulled away from the women, Chen Huaiyang hurriedly ran to the front to help count. For the first time, he felt that working was so interesting.

The captain looked at the man running towards him, with a hint of disappointment in his eyes, "Have you sent the supplies? Do you look like a worker dressed like this?"

Chen Huaiyang smiled and said, "It's all thanks to my uncle. Otherwise, I would have been delayed if I had walked there."

The captain breathed a sigh of relief and was too lazy to expose him. It was not possible to send the supplies on that day, but he had to go today. He was just too lazy to work!

The water is cold, but there are so many fish, who wouldn't be diligent? Or he wanted to stay away from it.

"Okay, I'm too lazy to tell you anymore, just help count the points!"

Chen Huaiyang touched his nose and smiled, "Auntie told me that I did try to come back, but I just didn't make it in time. Although I am usually lazy, who wouldn't be diligent when there is meat to eat?"

"I'll help with some work, and then let me buy two more!"

The captain looked at the person who was making excuses and sneered, "You are just trying to fool me! Hurry up and make a quick decision. The team members are freezing!"

We go through this every year. Although it’s cold, I feel at ease. I can eat meat during the New Year, so who wouldn’t be diligent?
They are not fools, who doesn't want to fish in advance? Isn't it better in autumn when the temperature is cooler and there is no need to suffer?
After all, isn’t it just for having something warm to eat during the New Year?
Have a good meal during the New Year so that you will have something to look forward to in the coming year!

It’s a very cold winter and it’s about to snow. You can put it in the ice and snow pile and take out the New Year’s Eve food, and you can have an extra dish on the table.

Chen Huaiyang nodded, not daring to be vague. The fish were caught completely, and the team members worked together to not miss any corner. After catching all the fish, new fish fry would be released next year. The new year is a new expectation.

The team members who went into the water went home to wash up.

After paying the fixed amount, it will be distributed according to population.

It was a mess, everyone was waiting with a bucket, eager to move the fish into the bucket immediately.

The captain patted Chen Huaiyang on the shoulder and asked him to maintain order. "Go, you have a way, make them line up."

Chen Huaiyang took the loudspeaker and did not refuse. He opened it and shouted to his mouth, "The captain said to line up for distribution. When the line is ready, the fish will be distributed."

Having had this experience once, the team members knew that there was no way out if they didn't line up. Anyone who dared to make a fuss had to line up obediently.

The team member with a sharp voice shouted, "If you don't want to drink a belly full of cold wind, hurry up and line up, go home and have a meal of fresh fish, drink some hot soup to warm your body."

That way, no one will cause trouble.

Come one, share one.

I put the lively fish into the bucket and couldn't stop smiling.

Chen Huaiyang didn't mind the trouble of checking the names one by one, for fear of being blamed for making a mistake.

Fortunately, I was careful enough and my teammates cooperated with me, so I didn't make any mistakes.

Yang Xiaolin was standing in line at the side, her fists clenched and biting her lips gently. This guy is really attractive!
The women in this group looked at him as if he were a hot commodity and wanted to drag him home.

Liu Li was unaware of the affair between the two. She stood behind her, looking ahead and said with a smile, "Xiao Chen is quite handsome. Looking at his aura, it's no wonder that the women in the team like him."

"Let me tell you, only girls are reserved. Their parents take care of marriage. Otherwise, there would be a lot of people running after him!"

Yang Xiaolin's heart skipped a beat and she felt sad. She even lost the excitement of getting the fish. She wrung her hands with a nervous look on her face and it was difficult for her to smile.

"Who knows if he did it on purpose, just wanting to have some fun! He knew he was going to fish today, yet he still came out dressed so flashily." How could he not attract attention?
Liu Li smiled and argued with him, "He went to town so early in the morning. Don't tell me. He was freezing. If I had such thick clothes, I would have put them on too."

"If you have all the supplies and still suffer from the cold, wouldn't you be a fool? Any normal person would know that you should wear it. Otherwise, why would you treat it like a treasure?"

Yang Xiaolin: "..." How did Chen Huaiyang capture people's hearts? Everyone was on his side.

Looking up at the person in front of me who is concentrating, I have to say, it’s really hard to take your eyes off him!

It's no wonder he recruits people. Who gives him such ability? His words and actions are ingrained in his bones. They are not deliberate. He can capture people easily.

Yang Xiaolin also got a two-pound fish, which was jumping around in the bucket, making her feel a little relieved.

After getting the fish, he stood aside and waited. At this moment, Chen Huaiyang threw another one in. "Excuse me, Xiao Yang, I didn't bring a bucket. Can you help me bring it back?"

In public, thanks to his shamelessness, I couldn't say no and could only watch him put the fish down.

After the distribution was completed, Chen Huaiyang bought two more. He wanted to buy more, but everyone was staring at him and he didn't want to attract attention.

Before leaving, he winked at the captain, who looked at him and wanted to kick him twice, "Go, go, go, go where it's cool."

"I still have to buy some for the banquet, so there's no room for you."

Tian Dong also bought some, we can’t favor one over the other!

It's not easy to be a team leader. You have to take everyone's ideas into consideration and can't just do whatever you want.

Chen Huaiyang walked away with a smile, "Look at what uncle said, how could I make things difficult for you? These two are more than enough, I am not greedy."

The captain sneered twice. How could he not know whether he was greedy or not? He was stopped by him, otherwise he might have wanted to buy a few!
Along the way, Chen Huaiyang noticed something was wrong.

Yang Xiaolin didn't want to pay any attention to him and didn't even speak to him from beginning to end.

Something is wrong. Something is very wrong!
After observing the surroundings and seeing that no one was around, Chen Huaiyang dragged the man to a place where he could block the light, "Ancestor, who bullied you? Look at your pouting mouth, you can even hang an oil bottle on it."

Yang Xiaolin was angry with him, but she couldn't say that he was too popular. She felt aggrieved and was asking for trouble.
I feel so upset but I can't relieve it, which makes me unhappy.

Of course, she would never say this out loud. It would be so embarrassing if others knew about it!

"No, I guess it's because it's cold and I'm in a bad mood."

Chen Huaiyang was not a person with a low IQ, so he could not understand. He immediately teased with a smile, "Why do I feel like someone is jealous?"

"Have you noticed that the vinegar bucket has been overturned, and it's very sour?"

Yang Xiaolin angrily raised her hand to push him, turned around and wanted to leave. If she continued talking to him, she would be so angry that she would die. She shouldn't pay any attention to such an arrogant guy.

He got the advantage and still acts ungratefully, so he should be left alone.

Chen Huaiyang saw at a glance that the person was angry, so he raised his hand and hugged her in his arms, pulled her up with his loose clothes, and kissed her on the face.

"Don't be angry! You see, there are many people who care about me, but the only one I care about is you!"

"I always think of giving you something delicious to eat, and I always want to be with you. My love for you is evident to all, how can you not understand?"

Yang Xiaolin tried to break free but failed. Instead, she was held tightly. She said angrily, "Are you doing this on purpose? The women all like you and want to take you back to be their son-in-law."

Chen Huaiyang hurriedly explained, "I really didn't mean it. I'll take you for a bike ride later, and you'll know how cold it is."

"I'm just afraid of catching a cold, do you feel bad for me?"

"I said long ago that I would not get married and have children here. I am lazy at work and no one cares about me. The women just say a few words to me as a joke."

"The things you worry about won't happen. I have you now. No one else would be worthy of my attention!"

"Clothes are meant to be worn. I don't intend to show off. If you don't like me wearing them, I won't wear them in the future. I'll just freeze to death."

Yang Xiaolin raised her hand and patted the back of his hand, "Aren't your hands warm?"

Chen Huaiyang hurriedly explained, "Aren't you wearing a coat? Look at your hands, they are cold. Let me warm them for you."

As he said this, he stuffed it into her sweater to keep her warm.

Yang Xiaolin's anger was thus relieved by him.
