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

Chapter 92: Reported for Speculation
Yang Xiaolin also saw this scene, shrugged her shoulders and went back to her room. She was not needed anyway, at most she could help prepare dinner.

Liu Xiaoyu quickly ran out from the door and pulled her, "Yang Xiaolin, you are being held in the hands of two male educated youths and cared for, aren't you proud?"

"Who knows what means you used to conquer them? You relied on your good looks to play two men around like a charm. You are really capable!"

Yang Xiaolin raised her hand and pushed the person away, glaring at her fiercely, "You were bitten by a dog, and you are acting crazy here!"

"If you dare to slander me again, I will ask the captain to take charge. Don't think you can just say shit. You have to be responsible for what you say."

"You also share the same pot with gay men. Could it be that you have an unclear relationship with gay men?"

"Don't put your own problems on others. I feel disgusted when I hear you speak. I'm not like Comrade Liu Li. She is willing to indulge you, but I am not."

"If you dare to throw dirty water on me, don't blame me for tearing off a layer of skin from you."

Liu Li couldn't hide anymore after hearing the noise, so she hurriedly opened the door and came out, "Xiaoyu, stop making noise. If you keep making noise like this, do you still want to live peacefully here?"

"You have complaints against Liu Jun, and now he's gone. You've offended all the comrades at the educated youth site. No one has ever bullied you, so why are you taking your anger out on others?"

Liu Xiaoyu was humiliated and glared at Liu Li. "It's all your fault. He touched my hand and peeked at me taking a shower. If you had helped me, would he have dared to be so unscrupulous?"

"I just hate you. Why are we all educated youth? When she first came here, someone protected her, but not me. How am I worse than her?"

After saying that, he pushed Liu Li away and ran away.

Liu Li pinched her swollen and aching temples. What a mess! Staying comfortably at home is not as good as working as usual!

At least although I'm busy, there aren't so many messy things.

"Xiao Lin, don't pay attention to her. She is just feeling unbalanced! When she first came, everyone wanted to keep things quiet. No one stood up for her, so she felt a little wronged. I didn't expect that she would keep feeling aggrieved. After Liu Jun left, she completely exploded."

"She is actually a pitiful person. She looked young and pretty when she first came here, but she was completely worn out by the hard times."

Yang Xiaolin snorted, "Sister Li, everyone is born by their mother and raised by their parents. The anger she suffered was not caused by me, so why should I bear it?"

"She herself didn't dare to resist. She can only blame others for being a coward."

"If she dared to make a big deal out of it, would Liu Jun dare to be so unscrupulous? It was because of her encouragement that he became more aggressive. Since it was caused by me, I shouldn't blame others."

"I'm different from her. Even if my comrades don't help me, I won't compromise. I'd rather die with honor than live in disgrace. If he wants to take advantage of me, don't blame me for tearing my face off and fighting him to the end."

"Who will be more fearful at that time will depend on who is more courageous. I am not afraid of facing these evil spirits because I dare to go to the countryside. It is one thing to deal with those who are unprepared, but I cannot tolerate those who are in the public eye."

"Don't think that you can forget what you said just by walking away. If you dare to do it again, the captain will help you seek justice."

This place ended in a bad mood.

On the other side, Chen Huaiyang and others pushed the man with glasses to the health center, had his bones straightened, and put on a steel plate. He will not be able to use force with this foot in the short term.

Taking advantage of his free time, Chen Huaiyang went to the hidden black market for a stroll and exchanged some lard.

The black market is everywhere. Where there is demand, there will naturally be a market.

Every time Chen Huaiyang came, he would quietly change some things to ensure his daily needs. He was very vigilant and was never caught.

In the end, I paid for three pounds of special-grade flour and exchanged it for five pounds of lard.

Then I went to pick someone up.

The man with glasses must still be in pain, his face is pale.

The pain in my body is something that no one can help me with, I can only slowly heal myself and endure it.

The snow was even thicker in the afternoon. If we hadn't called Tian Dong, pushing the car on the snow would have caused the wheel hubs to sink, which would have been really difficult!

Chen Huaiyang looked at the man with glasses and smiled, "You better hold on tight. If you fall again, you'll be crippled."

The man with glasses turned even paler after hearing this. He held on tightly to the railings on both sides and pushed them. He was really worried that it would make the situation worse, which would be terrible.

"I don't know if my injury will heal in two or three months. If I had known the roads would be slippery in the snow, I wouldn't have rushed to do this job. It's really a loss!"

Chen Huaiyang snorted, "Don't be so hard when you're shitting! Didn't you check the safety issues before you stepped on the stool?"

"You can only blame yourself for being too careless and not careful enough."

"Go back and take good care of yourself. Don't worry about earning work points. It's freezing cold out here, and I don't think anyone will come to read the bulletin board. Don't worry about those few cents."

The man with glasses looked at him obscurely, "You're wrong, there are quite a few people coming to see it!"

"It's about a picture board, but it has to record some small things. When I went there today, there were quite a few people waiting there!"

"It's just that I was pushed too hard, otherwise I wouldn't have fallen."

"In this horrible weather, who knows why they are in such a good mood? They all stare at the time and talk about the little things I wrote down. They wish I could draw two boards a day!"

"You said you were in such a hurry, how could I waste time? They were staring at me one by one, as if they wanted to take my place. Some of them couldn't read, but they still asked me to read one by one, which made me dizzy!"

Chen Huaiyang raised his eyebrows. He had never considered this situation.

I have never seen it in person, so I really don't know what it looks like. I have to find a chance to go and take a look. From what he said, it sounds like he is writing a short story. If so, it is really urgent.

After all, I'm just sitting there doing nothing. If I can kill time, I can run fast even in the coldest weather.

"I saw that you were enjoying it. Now that I'm delayed, I'm afraid I'll come running to look for you!"

If my guess is correct, this little note is probably like the short stories in the future. Just writing it casually is more than enough to deal with these team members.

"Be careful when you write. Don't touch what you shouldn't touch! If you get addicted, the team members will probably have to carry you away even if they have to."

No wonder the team members were so kind to send him back. He has captured people's hearts, so what's the harm in sending him back?

The man with glasses said, "How could I not know this? I'm not tired of living. I wouldn't joke about my own safety. I definitely won't touch anything that I shouldn't touch."

As they were talking, they returned to the educated youth point and carried the person back to the room.

Chen Huaiyang turned around to pack up the lard he had bought. It was snow-white and looked like it had a lot of oil in it. If you save it, it can be used for a while!

"Xiao Yang, rinse the oil, drain the water and fill the oil."

Yang Xiaolin looked at him in astonishment, and came closer to take a look, "Where did you get the lard?"

The brigade hasn't slaughtered the pigs yet, and even if it has, lard will be a hot commodity. After all, there are many families in the brigade who are short of oil, and there is simply not enough to go around if everyone is scrambling for it.

Chen Huaiyang glanced around and whispered, "There is definitely no lard in the brigade, so I tried to find some. It's okay if we don't eat meat, but if we can't even get some oil, life will be really hard."

Seeing her frown, he comforted her, "Don't worry, I'm very alert and careful, I won't be caught."

"The fried noodles are delicious. I'll make you a bowl later."

Yang Xiaolin was defeated by his soothing look, "You just need to take it easy."

Chen Huaiyang nodded without hesitation, added some water to the pot, put the lard in the pot and simmered it over low heat.

Making lard is a delicate job and cannot be rushed.

I took advantage of the break to knead out the two-mix noodles. Originally, I could eat the fragrant thin noodles, but due to the current conditions, being able to eat the two-mix noodles is a happy thing.

Only every few days would Chen Huaiyang dare to spend money lavishly, as spending too frequently would arouse suspicion.

It's typical that even if people have supplies, they don't dare to squander them.

But he is considered lucky, as he has space and supplies, and he can have a good meal every now and then. The members of the team really don't smell any fishy smell for half a year!

Otherwise, why would the team members stare in amazement when he took out a little thing, put it in his pocket, and instantly change their attitude towards him?

Only rare things are treasured.

He sees it often, but he won’t even be interested in it even if you give it to him!

Chen Huaiyang felt very lucky. With the treasure of space, the difficult days were no longer unbearable!

Otherwise, you might not be able to taste meat for half a year, and you might only have steamed corn bread with soup every day, and even a pot of porridge would be a luxury. Then there would really be no hope at all!
While I was daydreaming, I cut the noodles and put them aside.

The lard slowly began to produce oil, and the fat that had been cut into large chunks shrank at a slow pace.

From time to time, there were crackling sounds, like a symphony, which made people feel soothed.

You have to stand further away to avoid being affected.

How can life not be wonderful when there is no shortage of oil to eat!
The fragrance spread, and I swallowed it frequently as I smelled it.

Lard smells so good!

The aroma made their stomachs growl and everyone couldn't move after smelling it.

Liu Xiaoyu in the kitchen next door smelled the smell and slipped out when no one was paying attention. Chen Huaiyang got lard in one trip, which must have been obtained through speculation.

Otherwise, how could it be possible to get it easily?

The purpose is clear, go directly to the old branch secretary.

As for the captain, she didn't consider him at all. He was the same kind of guy as Chen Huaiyang. Calling him here would definitely make him side of Chen Huaiyang, and she wouldn't be able to achieve her goal at all.

Just go find it and get straight to the point.

"Old Party Secretary, there are corrupt officials in our brigade who do not support the work of cadres and engage in speculation and profiteering. How should we punish them?"

The old branch secretary looked at the frail female educated youth in front of him, his cloudy eyes showing a hint of clarity, "Comrade, you can't say anything carelessly. If you want to throw dirty water on someone, you need evidence."

"You can't just say you're speculating and profiteering and you can't convict someone of that crime. If you haven't caught them red-handed, don't make any more false statements!"

"If you offend someone, you will be in trouble every day."
