The Siheyuan of the Young Educated Youth

The two sisters went to the collective household arm in arm.

There were not many people along the way. It was the busy farming season and everyone was very tired. After dinner, they all went to bed early.

Qi Feifei and the others caught fish and a lot of wild vegetables today, so they had to clean the fish and pick the wild vegetables. They ate late, and just finished their meal and were cleaning up and getting ready to rest.

The two sisters entered the yard. Li Shanuer pushed Li Fengxia away and ran inside, holding her belly.

"Qi Feifei, Qi Feifei..."

Li Fengxia was so frightened that she chased after him.

"Don't run, don't run, slow down."

I didn't dare pull her, luckily she couldn't run fast, so I just stood by to protect her.

When Qi Feifei saw that it was Li Shanuer who ran away, he hurried out to meet her, fearing that something might happen to her.

"Silly girl, don't run."

As he spoke, he came closer.

Li Shanuer held Qi Feifei's hand and looked at Qi Feifei with an innocent and sweet smile.

"I want to go up to the mountains to work with you."

She wants to play with Qi Feifei.

Li Fengxia: No, I agreed that you should go to work.

Qi Feifei took Li Shanu'er's hand and went into the house. "Not now, there is no work for you. Wait a few months, when it's time to pick fungus, you can come and help pick fungus. Shanu'er's hands are the fastest."

Li Shanuer smiled and nodded. She was the best at picking things. She picked all the wild fruits, hazelnuts and walnuts in the house. They were all delicious!

Qi Feifei pulled Li Shanuer to sit down, and his fingers casually placed on her pulse.

“Are you happy lately?”

Li Shanuer pouted, "My mom doesn't let me go out to play."

The pulse is quite good.

You have to say that Aunt Li is a "capable person". Her husband is stupid, and she has four children, some of whom are stupid, and some are small.

Among the four children, only Li Fengxia could be considered a legitimate laborer, and she was a girl. Out of a full score of 10, she could only get 8 or 9 points at most. Besides, she had just come of age.

But the Li family had never gone hungry, which was not easy in those days.

Li Shanuer is in good health, at least she is not lacking in nutrition.

Qi Feifei, "You have a baby in your belly now, you can't go out and run around, you have to stay at home and listen to your mother."

Li Shanuer nodded aggrievedly, admitting that she shouldn't have gone out to play.

"Ah."

Qi Feifei, "Don't be unhappy, I'll give you something good."

Qi Feifei took a large handful of fried soybeans from the box and put it into Li Shanuer's pocket.

She grew these herself in the fields in the courtyard. After harvesting, she fried some and occasionally ate them as snacks.

Li Shanuer smiled with her lips pursed, her eyes sparkling, and she pinched beans with her hands to feed Qi Feifei.

Qi Feifei ate it with her hand.

Li Fengxia looked at this and didn't understand. She, her own sister, had nothing to talk about with Li Shanuer every day, let alone playing together.

Why would Qi Feifei, a normal person, be so close to a silly girl?

She came here for something important, so she couldn't help but speak.

"Thank you, Qi Feifei."

Qi Feifei finally looked at her, "You're welcome, silly girl, give me something to eat."

Li Fengxia, "That's right, my silly girl always talks about you at home, she is the best to you."

Qi Feifei looked at her. Is there something wrong?

What are you trying to get close to?

Li Fengxia didn't even turn around. It was so late and everyone was waiting to go to bed!

Some people have fallen asleep and can be heard snoring softly.

"Qi Feifei, does your fungus farm still need someone to look after it? Do you think I can do it?"

This job is not tiring and I can get full work points every day. I am a good guy.

Logically speaking, there are many capable people, but Qi Feifei is a woman, and she is there almost every day, so she hopes that the person watching over the scene is also a woman.

It's not appropriate for a single man and a single woman to be together in the mountains.

The team leader arranged a Li Qiaoying, but Qi Feifei would go to the Industrial Office after a while, so Li Qiaoying needed a companion.

Most people can do this job, but not everyone can spend every day in the mountains.

Those who have husbands and children definitely cannot do that. Many young ladies are looking for a husband, but their families won’t let them go.

As a result, there are not many suitable people.

Li Fengxia is quite capable, and Qi Feifei has no objection, as long as she can do her job well.

But Qi Feifei didn't want to agree directly, so it would be better for the captain to make the decision.

"Yes, we are still short of one person, but the captain has the final say on who will be used. You can go ask him to see if he has arranged someone."

Li Fengxia was happy in her heart. Since she was not rejected, there was hope.

"Thank you. I will ask the captain tomorrow morning. I will do my best. Don't worry."

After finishing the business, he took the silly girl and said goodbye.

Early the next morning, Li Fengxia went to the team leader's house.

The team leader was turning the soil in the garden and preparing cages. It was hot from work, and his cotton-padded jacket and pipe were hung on his stick.

Li Fengxia stood outside the stick, holding the stick with both hands.

"Captain, I heard Qi Feifei say yesterday that the fungus farm still needs a keeper. She asked me to come and ask you, do you think I can do it?"

The captain stopped and leaned on his hoe.

"Your mother asked you to live in the mountains every day?"

But she is still a young lady who has not married yet.

Li Fengxia, "My mother agreed. You know my family situation. My mother told me to stay at home for another year to help out. I can get more work points at the fungus farm."

Staying indoors on windy and rainy days also earns you ten work points.

The captain thought about it and said, "It's okay to go, but I have to be frank. You have to work hard when you get there. You can't make any mistakes. If you don't do a good job, you will be sent back and you are not allowed to cry or make a fuss."

Li Fengxia was immediately happy, "No, no, how could that be possible! Captain, rest assured, I will definitely do my best to do such a good job."

The captain continued to work and ignored her.

Li Fengxia thanked him again and again before going home.

From that day on, Qi Feifei had one more person working for him.

Starting to build a house is not that easy.

Qi Feifei taught them one by one: how to level the ground, how to compact the ground, how to drive piles, how to chisel wood, how to build...

Qi Feifei taught them step by step and watched them work closely all day long, fearing that they might make mistakes.

Under Qi Feifei's strict supervision, a two-room wooden house was built on the mountain.

A shed was built next to it and a stove was built underneath.

After finishing these tasks, Qi Feifei planned to let Wang Weiguang and others return to town.

I haven’t done what I promised to do to send fish to Director Ma.

But the fish caught in the nearby creek were too few to take.

The captain's family has fishing nets, and you can go to the reservoir to fish, but not just anyone can go, as it belongs to someone else.

When you go to the river, there are many rocks and branches underneath, which can easily scratch the net.

Qi Feifei was so annoyed. He wanted to go out and hunt them by himself, or fish them directly from the creek in the courtyard, but these guys followed him like little tails!

So worried!
