The Siheyuan of the Young Educated Youth

Huo Sheng, "No, this is the prize for the basketball game held in the factory some time ago. It's the first prize, one for each of the five people."

Qi Feifei, "Your factory's treatment is really good, giving you such a good thing as a prize."

Huo Sheng, "It's not that the factory is willing to spend money, but the director has a relative who works in the textile factory, so they give us the internal price. So it's cheaper for us."

Qi Feifei, "Let's exchange this for something else. The hat just now was agreed to be your reward."

She didn't want to owe him a favor.

Huo Sheng didn't argue with her, "Just make me another pair of gloves."

Qi Feifei thought about it and thought that hanging the gloves inside would waste fabric and be troublesome, so it seemed to be about the same.

"Okay. I'll send it to you when it's done."

Huo Sheng knew she was busy, "Don't rush, there's still time to wait until the snow falls."

Qi Feifei took the scarf and the gun and went back.

I'm in a particularly good mood today.

I entered the courtyard at night.

The first thing I wanted to do was put on the bright red fleece scarf and take a look.

In my previous life, I could only envy others. At that time, there were only a few people in a team who had fleece scarves, let alone such beautiful and thick ones.

Qi Feifei gently put it on and went to look in the mirror at the dressing table in the bathroom.

Although Qi Feifei runs outside every day, exposed to the wind and sun, she is nourished by spring water and is more fresh than when she first went to the countryside.

Wearing a red scarf, her face looks even more rosy and fresh.

Qi Feifei was turning left and right happily looking at herself in the mirror.

I heard a commotion outside.

Xiaoluyun: Yo~ Yo~

Doubao: Woof~Woof~

Lynx: Wow, wow, wow...

Lamb: Baa~baa~

……

Even the pheasants were clucking.

What happened? Never.

Qi Feifei no longer cared about showing off. She took off her scarf, put it on the dressing table, and ran out of the courtyard.

When everyone saw her coming out, they ran to the right side of the courtyard.

Qi Feifei followed and took a look.

"Oh my god! A whole field?!"

Qi Feifei was stunned for a moment, rubbed his eyes, and was still there.

A few days ago, I was thinking about digging up a piece of grass and growing vegetables.

This, I'm afraid, is five acres of land, enough for her to grow food.

The warm spring flowed along the edge of the field and joined the river in the distance.

Qi Feifei followed him into the field. The black soil was soft and fertile.

Qi Feifei was very happy. She ran back and took out all the seeds that Uncle Zheng gave her.

First, I cleared out a small piece of land and prepared two ridges, planting cucumbers in one section and beans in the other.

She wasn't sure if she could grow anything here all year round, so she kept half of the seeds and planted the other half.

Two more large ridges were leveled, and one was planted with lettuce, cabbage, coriander and spinach.

A large ridge is planted with vegetable seedlings, including eggplant, pepper, tomato and green onion.

After planting all these, I sat down by the ground to take a rest, only to find that the little guys were gone. Where did they go?

Look up and around.

Hey, the grass by the river has become level with the fields on this side, and the river has also grown longer.

The little ones are having fun on the grass.

The mother lynx was already able to move freely and followed them, watching them play.

Qi Feifei rested for a while and continued to work, planting red beans, mung beans, sesame seeds, perilla seeds, hemp seeds, sesame seeds, and sticky corn.

Fortunately, there are many samples, but the quantity is small.

I was busy until late at night and then went to bed.

I slept in the back room of the courtyard.

I didn’t get up too early the next day and went to the pig farm after breakfast.

A few days later, some households also wanted to buy meat, so Liu Yumei, Pan Xiaowen, Xu Zhiqiang, and Wang Bin followed her.

Julie is still the one in charge, and the others are in another group.

When we arrived, the pigs had already been slaughtered.

The yard of the pig farm was full of people, adults and children, all looking forward to harvesting pork.

People were talking.

A middle-aged man leaned his arm and said to the people around him, "We killed two pigs, and I estimate that we can get more than 500 kilograms of meat."

A young man with a big tongue interrupted, "I saw with my own eyes that three pigs were killed, and there were two over there."

Middle-aged man, "The other one is for people who pick vegetables for pigs. Only two can be bought."

Young man, "Is that so? Then on average, a family can buy two pounds of meat."

The middle-aged man had an expression on his face that said you don’t understand.

"Of course you can't? Some meat needs to be left out."

The young man didn't know who to leave the meat for, and wanted to ask, but then they started cutting the meat and everyone rushed in.

Qi Feifei did not push, and Uncle Zheng agreed to save some for her. However, she could have any piece of meat, as everyone has their own way of eating it.

One after another, people came out carrying meat with hemp ropes. Some weighed two or three taels, some weighed half a catty, some weighed one catty, and some weighed two catties.

There is no more left. After all, no one is well-off and we dare not buy more even if we keep a record. We must all share the purchases. Some will die of overeating and some will die of starvation.

The two pigs were butchered very quickly. As the pork was being butchered, fewer and fewer people came to the yard, and soon only a few were left.

Pan Xiaowen and his friends squeezed in and bought two pounds of pork butt. Although it had more lean meat, it was still very good. The pig was big, the fat layer was still quite thick, and the meat was shiny and oily.

He showed it to Qi Feifei happily, "Sister, we're going to stew meat tonight, so don't cook. I'll serve you a bowl when I get it."

Qi Feifei, "There are so many of you, and it's a rare opportunity to eat meat, so I'll save some for you."

Pan Xiaowen, "Sister, I bought extra for you. We discussed this before we bought it."

Qi Wangbin and Xu Zhiqiang both said that they had agreed to celebrate the festival together.

The meat can't be kept, so it's served early.

Qi Feifei didn't refuse and accepted it.

"Well, go back and stew the meat first."

Qi Feifei wanted to send them all away, otherwise she would have to carry the pig bones back later.

Everyone knew that she had a good relationship with Uncle Zheng, so she left first.

Liu Yumei also bought a piece, about half a pound, for her and Zhu Li.

He carried the meat and went back with Pan Xiaowen and the others.

The next thing was to cut the vegetables for the pigs. Almost every household in Team 5 had people cutting vegetables for the pigs.

This pig was not as big as the ones sold, weighing only a little over 100 to less than 200 kilograms of meat. Some people got 2 or 3 kilograms, some got more than 10 kilograms, and some asked for lanterns to hang.

Qi Feifei got a bag of pig bones, pig heads and pig trotters.

The bones were shaved cleanly, without a trace of meat. Uncle Zheng couldn't bear it, so he shared the pig's head and trotters with her.

No one likes pig heads and pig trotters. Removing the hair is a big hassle. You have to burn it, brush it, and cook it for a long time. Some people would not choose this even if they have a choice.

Uncle Zheng reserved two pounds of pork belly and three cuts of pork for Qi Feifei from the meat he sold.

Uncle Zheng kept the bones, heads and trotters of the other two pigs for himself.

This happens every year, and no one competes with him.

This year, Uncle Zheng bought two more pounds of meat, one pound for Zheng Xiaoquan to take back, and one pound for Widow Gong to take back.
