The Siheyuan of the Young Educated Youth

Zheng Er's daughter-in-law has been in high spirits these days, but she hasn't been so proud for long yet!

I heard about Qi Feifei, who not only could cut 80 kilograms of grass for pigs a day, but could also pick mushrooms while cutting grass for pigs!

Isn't this not only dishonest, but also more arrogant?

It was all because of that damn Zheng Er. He didn't show off after coming home, so he caused her to delay the matter.

Isn't she capable of picking? Hum! Hum!

Qi Feifei had no idea what others were saying about her. She ate and drank happily, and played with the deer and Doubao on the grass.

Watching the two of them playing and fighting, the little deer jumped up and down, dodging left and right, and Doubao chased and blocked them from all directions.

Qi Feifei wondered if he should take them out for exercise more often, otherwise they would just become pure pets.

After playing for a while, she left the courtyard.

It was still early, so she began to stroll slowly on the mountain to see if she could encounter anything.

I didn't find any mushrooms or anything like that. It might be because it's too close to people's homes. People who cut vegetables for pigs come here often, so there's nothing edible to pick.

Later, we found a patch of brambles. I guess it was here that Uncle Zheng cut the baskets he made last year.

Qi Feifei started to cut without hesitation. She had to cut more and weave more baskets because she was still thinking about the fruits on the mountains in autumn.

I cut more than ten bundles in one go and sat on the ground to rest.

It would be great if we could plant fruit trees on the hill behind the courtyard, so we wouldn’t have to go to the hill to pick the fruits every year.

But trees are not as easy to dig as mushrooms and onions.

After thinking about it for a while, I went fishing.

This time she learned her lesson, and every time she lifted the fish basket, she was careful and no longer dared to be careless.

Maybe because I fish in the same place every day, there aren't as many fish as before. I simply put away the fish basket and plan to fish in a different place tomorrow.

Then he returned to the pig farm.

When they arrived at the pig farm, they handed over another 40 kilograms of pig feed and returned the two baskets to Uncle Zheng.

Carrying the food on his back, he walked away. Seeing that there was no one around, he went back into the courtyard and started his daily routine of practicing martial arts and soaking in the hot springs.

Then he returned to the collective household clean and refreshed.

Everyone looked at her with different eyes, and Julie seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Baisha simply pulled her out.

When we got to a secluded place, I told her, "It's been rumored in the village today that someone is working for you. Is that true?"

Baisha still kept it and didn't say anything. People still suspected her of stealing.

Qi Feifei:?

"Who can help me with the work? None of us educated youth dare to go up the mountain, so who can help me with the work?

Why do you say that? "

I just have someone do the work for me, so what? Is it against the law?

What do these people mean?

Baisha: "Didn't you bring back mushrooms these past two days? And I heard that you cut 80 kilograms of pig food a day. I think it's impossible, so..."

Qi Feifei looked at him with disdain: "There are plenty of pig food and vegetables in places far away from the village. You can just cut them. It's just a little tiring to carry them back. As long as you are willing to put in the effort, it's not difficult!

The day I went mushroom picking, I did some cutting for pigs and went to a place I had been to before.

These people can really relate.”

In fact, Baisha was a little skeptical at first. After all, she knew that she had picked three big Ganoderma lucidum!

I've been here for several years and I haven't heard of anyone picking Ganoderma lucidum.

This girl is so different from ordinary people.

Hearing her explanation, it seems reasonable.

"You know it, and you have an idea in your mind. We are all worried that you will suffer a loss."

Qi Feifei didn't care. They could think whatever they wanted. She wasn't that kind of person anyway.

"Don't worry, I earn my living through my own hard work, so they can say whatever they want!"

Baisha: "It's better not to let people misunderstand me. I heard that you are being recommended to go to university. You are so capable, maybe you will have a chance in the future."

Qi Feifei: "Thank you. But I guess it's impossible. There are many people who are better at studying and have better relationships than me. I'll just focus on my work."

She couldn't say that she didn't care about being a worker-peasant-soldier college student at all. Although it looked glamorous now, there would be no chance of promotion in the future.

It would be better for her to make money in the mountains and then return to the city after the reform and opening up.

Baisha was a little disappointed, "You! Don't just work hard all day long, you should pay attention to the things around you."

Qi Feifei: "I know you are doing this for my own good. I just don't like dealing with people. I will try harder in the future."

Baisha patted her arm and said, "Okay, come in!"

Turn around and walk back.

There was also discussion in the room at this time.

Liu Yumei: "I don't think it's likely that she stole it. I haven't heard anyone say that mushrooms were missing from their home. Maybe she hooked up with someone and helped her do it."

Cao Xiaohui: "Can she? She doesn't look like that kind of person."

Li Danni rarely participated in gossip: "This analysis does make sense. She doesn't know how to split herself into two, so how can she do so many things?"

Zhu Li was a little bit lacking in confidence: "She gets up early and works late, and she is very hardworking."

But she knew that Qi Feifei took the food away and didn't know where to eat. She also gave her dried shrimp and sugar. Where did she get them from? Doubao hadn't been seen coming back recently. It seemed that there might really be such a person.

At this time, they heard footsteps at the door, and everyone stopped talking and looked at the door.

Baisha came in first and said, "It's okay. These are all guesses from the villagers. Qi Feifei went to a place where he had picked mushrooms before. He didn't just randomly look for mushrooms all over the mountain. So he must have grown faster naturally."

Everyone said, that's good.

But everyone has different thoughts in their hearts.

Some people breathed a sigh of relief.

Some people are skeptical.

Some people think about it over and over again.

……

Qi Feifei had no way to control what others said or thought. It was easy for them to spread rumors, but it was difficult for them to refute them.

She still thought it would be nice to save some energy, run in the mountains, and catch some fish.

The next day, Qi Feifei did not go to the pig farm, but walked upstream to the creek, where he started fishing.

We walked to a place where few people came, released the little deer and Doubao, and let them play.

She started to put the fish basket in her own hands. Now there were a lot of small fish. She no longer dug out earthworms, but directly chopped up the small fish and put them in the fish basket as bait.

After everything was ready, she told the two little ones not to go too far, looked at the fish basket, and then went into the courtyard by herself.

Chop the pheasant into small pieces and mince the peppers, onions and garlic from Uncle Zheng.

Put some oil in the pan, put the chicken pieces in the pan and stir-fry until the water is dry, then take out the chicken pieces.

Add chopped green onion, garlic and chili to the pot and stir-fry until fragrant, then add the chicken pieces, season with salt and soy sauce, add water to cover the chicken pieces, simmer over low heat, put the big pancake on the steamer above, cover the pot and cook slowly.

Qi Feifei went to the backyard to practice martial arts, and then took a shower after practicing.

Just having dinner.

The spicy chicken with steamed bread is a long-missed delicacy.

A thin layer of sweat formed on the tip of my nose from eating so much.

He ate happily and drank water at the same time.

After having enough water and food, I came out and saw the two little guys lying by the stream, staring at the fish basket without blinking.

Qi Feifei couldn't help but burst out laughing.
