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

Chapter 97: Kill the New Year Pig!
The next day, Chen Huaiyang went out under urging.

When I arrived at the bulletin board, I found that there were more and more team members, and none of them were afraid of the wind and snow.

Even the snow pile in front of the bulletin board was flattened.

He laughed and teased, "Everyone is in a good mood, right?"

The team members smiled and replied, "Everyone praises your writing." Word of mouth spread, and some came over to take a look just to join in the fun, and after watching for a while, they couldn't move.

Chen Huaiyang nodded, "Thank you for your respect. I'll take a look at yesterday's and continue with today's."

After briefly reading it, he asked someone to erase it and then started writing again. His writing was as fast as flowing water without any pause, and the highlights of the story could be read between the lines.

Everyone was still not satisfied and eager to see more.

Chen Huaiyang decided to fool them with such short stories for the next few days. When there was nothing left to write in a few days, he would write a martial arts novel for them. He thought that would be enough for them to read.

After finishing writing, he still slipped away.

After Chen Huaiyang left, more and more people gathered around the bulletin board. Those who could not read recognized the words one by one because someone was reading to them.

You have to learn, otherwise if you want to read interesting blackboard newspapers, you won’t be able to do so if you don’t know how to read.

Still chatting animatedly.

This isn't even a connected novel!

Whenever they come across such interesting novels, they will be scratching their heads.

When Chen Huaiyang left, he thought that he could submit his article to the newspaper! If he was lucky enough to be selected, even if he only got some compensation, it would be worth it.

The only thing is that it is very difficult to go out in this horrible weather. Even if you want to send something, conditions have to allow it!

I looked around and saw that everything was bare as winter came. It was a world of difference compared to the south.

The weather in the south is still green even in winter. It's nothing like here where it's all bare and covered with snow, with no green at all.

He returned to the educated youth point with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

The captain was waiting, and when he heard the noise he went out to look for him.

"You left pretty quickly. I thought I would have to wait a little longer!"

Chen Huaiyang shook off the snow on his body and greeted him with a smile, "Uncle, why are you here in this weather instead of staying at home?"

The captain stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, "Xiao Chen! Our team members praised you highly, and they were all fascinated by you."

"As expected of a well-educated person, you are different from others!"

Chen Huaiyang: “…” Why does this exaggerated word sound so awkward?
"Don't praise me anymore, I feel so nervous when I hear you say that!"

"Just tell me what you want me to do. Let's not hide it."

The captain smiled with satisfaction. It was refreshing to talk to a smart person without having to talk nonsense.

"We have to slaughter cattle and pigs. The New Year is coming up in a few days. The problem now is that everyone is obsessed with the bulletin board and has become less enthusiastic about slaughtering the New Year pigs."

"I came to you just to say that we should stop writing tomorrow, slaughter the New Year pig, and distribute the meat."

Chen Huaiyang's eyes lit up, he was looking forward to it!
"That's no problem. It's not a big deal."

The captain deliberately added, "You can't say it was my request and make up excuses to appease the team members."

After hearing this, Chen Huaiyang's face was full of indescribable expressions. The captain really thought too highly of him and used him as a gun, but he didn't want to be affected.

"Aren't you making things difficult for me? We don't do things this way, do we? Aren't you just making things worse for me?"

It might not have mattered before, but the team members are obviously addicted. They come to chase him one by one, rain or shine. Looking at the situation, if he stops for a day tomorrow, he will probably be annoyed by nagging!

The captain patted him on the shoulder and said cheerfully, "I know you can handle it. I trust your ability."

After giving his instructions, the captain left with a sense of relief, leaving Chen Huaiyang disheveled in the wind. It was him who fought in the snow, and it was also him who cleaned up the mess.

It’s so hard to be a human being!

Early in the morning.

Chen Huaiyang went to the bulletin board, thinking of using an excuse to push the matter of the blackboard newspaper over, but when the team members found out, they all quit.

"Little educated youth Chen, you don't know how to butcher a pig, so you don't need to help. Just write it here, and come and read it when we are done."

"We only slaughter pigs once a year. We are already very familiar with it. It won't take long to complete it."

"Even if you're busy during the day, we can still come over and take a look at night. We'll have plenty of free time during the winter anyway!"

Chen Huaiyang: “…” Everyone is going to slaughter the pigs, doesn’t he want to join in the fun?
Is it really okay to leave him here alone?
Chen Huaiyang's face was full of resistance. It was a rare scene, and he also wanted to take a look at it.

The team members tried to comfort him, "You are very fast. It only took you half an hour. We may have just caught the pig and haven't even cut it yet. I'm afraid you have already done it."

"We can't be lazy. Laziness is unacceptable. It will wear down one's will."

"I've been bored year after year. Now the brigade has finally made a decision and added a bulletin board. Comrades must fight on the front line and not fall behind!"

"We rely on this to kill time, you can't take it away from us!"

For the first time, Chen Huaiyang found that the team members were very articulate. They shouted slogans one after another, leaving him no room for excuses. Looking at their expectant eyes, he could not refuse at all. "Go and slaughter the pigs quickly. Don't delay here. The captain gave me the order. If you delay slaughtering the pigs, I will be held responsible."

"I definitely won't write it now. If you can finish it quickly, I'll write it for you this afternoon."

"Don't delay now. The captain will have to come over here to arrest someone soon."

There was nothing to see, so the team members had no choice but to disperse.

It was the team leader who gave the instructions in advance, otherwise, once Chen Huaiyang wrote it on the bulletin board, they would probably not want to disperse.

This will definitely delay the slaughter of the pigs. The captain really understands his team members thoroughly!
There is nothing more to see, so they are willing to disperse.

He gave me another reminder before leaving.

"Little Chen Zhiqing, remember to prepare a big basin! Don't bring a small bowl, or you will suffer a loss."

As they talked back and forth, Chen Huaiyang also felt a hint of the atmosphere of slaughtering pigs.

When they returned to the educated youth site, they took large basins and scrubbed them clean.

When Liu Li saw Chen Huaiyang, she explained, "We can have a full meal at the pig slaughtering banquet every year. We can bring a large basin and the food we bring back can last us two days!"

"We can have two pots of rice, so we can at least have two big pots, and then we can eat to our heart's content."

Chen Huaiyang nodded and went to the kitchen, where Yang Xiaolin was also scrubbing the basin.

"Let's prepare first. We will slaughter the pig in the morning and stew the meat in the afternoon. Sister Li said that some team members have large families and they will bring pots and pans with them! We have to hurry up and not fall behind."

When I saw it with my own eyes, I was still shocked by the scene.

Four pigs were slaughtered and the meat was distributed according to the population. The kidneys were not to be wasted and were all stewed into pots for the team members to take home and eat.

You can imagine how lively the scene was.

Children with strong physiques also came running over. People sat in every corner. No one complained about the cold and they all talked non-stop.

Chen Huaiyang saw Liu Xiaoyu, and when the other party looked at him, his eyes were full of hatred.

He doesn't want to deal with anyone at all, he just ignores them to the end and gets stuck in a dead end. Does he have to counsel everyone one by one?

Judging from the other party's angry look, he was not worthy of his guidance.

Chen Huaiyang was just about to find a sheltered place to sit when the captain called him up, "Xiao Chen, come with me and deliver these pigs."

The team leader specially picked out the ones that were heavy, about 100 pounds each, and pulled them over in the freezing cold. If they were not heavy enough, they would have to be dragged back, which would be a hassle.

The pigs that are handed over every year are very important and cannot be ambiguous at all.

Chen Huaiyang is impeccable in terms of communication, and having him follow him will definitely help you achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Chen Huaiyang tightened his military coat and did not refuse. "Okay, if the organization can use me, I absolutely cannot refuse."

Just as I was about to leave, I heard the team members shouting, "Little Chen, you have to hurry up and don't dawdle. We are still waiting for your blackboard newspaper!"

Chen Huaiyang: “…” It seems like there are eyes on his back, staring at him closely.

"I won't write today. I'll give you something fresh tomorrow. The wait is worth it. I will definitely not let you down."

"Have a hearty meal today, eat to your heart's content, without any worries. Tomorrow I will definitely show you something different and something that will make you yearn for."

The team members were dumbfounded, and each of them said with regret, "I really won't write it. We have high expectations for you."

Chen Huaiyang waved his hand: "Just wait, I will definitely make you applaud tomorrow."

"I'm going to hand in the pigs. There's only one female comrade in the educated youth camp. You can't bully me. If you shortchange me, I'll take your responsibility tomorrow."

Chen Huaiyang's voice was loud and clear, without any restraint, so that everyone could hear it clearly.

The team members couldn't help but laugh and said, "Don't worry, as long as the basin you bring is big enough, we will definitely fill it up for you."

"You don't seem to be very diligent when working, but you are the most active when eating."

"Your bite is definitely indispensable."

Chen Huaiyang was not afraid of everyone's teasing at all, and nodded with satisfaction, "If you are not active in eating, there must be something wrong with your brain. If you don't eat and drink enough, how can you contribute to our efforts!"

"We only have this much skin to live on. There's a wounded soldier at the Youth League Center! If he doesn't get better soon, there won't be anyone to draw the blackboard newspaper for you later!"

"When the spring comes and things get busy, don't look for me. I don't have the energy!"

Too lazy to explain clearly, everyone was too tired to complain.

Amidst the laughter, Chen Huaiyang followed the steady team members.

The team leader led the team members to act quickly, slaughtering the pig, boiling water and shaving the hair. The team members, who were more skilled than ever, joined in the work, and gradually the pig was slaughtered and placed on the chopping board.

When pork is distributed, everyone wants to get the fattest share.

The team leader does not indulge anyone, and he does not hesitate to mix up the rich and the poor. Anyone who has a complaint will stand aside.
