The Siheyuan of the Young Educated Youth

While Qi Feifei was struggling to make a living, a new wave of rumors began in the village.

Because of the crucian carp that Qi Feifei brought back the day before, the villagers started a new round of imagination.

The men all went fishing with casting nets, slings or poles.

Or when there is drought and little water, the men would gather fish from the dam.

Who goes fishing in the river when the water is high?

She can catch fish with just her two paws?

No matter how loud you say it, no one will believe it!

There are various speculations and opinions.

So, Qi Feifei's "mysterious man" appeared again.

Especially two days ago, she went to town alone in the wind and rain, and no one accompanied her. Who would believe it?

Sometimes there are wild animals on the road, and sometimes people block the way.

No man would venture to walk such a long mountain road alone.

Then someone said that the Cai brothers and Qi Feifei came back at the same time yesterday. It seemed that the two brothers had been in the rain for a long time and had caught a bad cold.

The Cai brothers came all the way to our mountain to pick mushrooms. It’s not like they don’t have any there. Could something have happened?

……

Then it gradually deviated from the normal track.

The area under this big willow tree is truly comparable to the Internet of later generations.

When Qi Feifei returned to the collective household, everyone had turned off the lights and gone to bed, only Zhu Li was tossing and turning "making pancakes".

When Zhu Li saw Qi Feifei coming back, she breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a little nervous and hesitated to speak.

Zhu Li wanted to persuade her not to get up so early and go up the mountain, but she didn't know how to say it. She didn't dare to say it directly, for fear that Qi Feifei could not bear it.

Liu Yumei suddenly opened her eyes and said unhappily, "Why are you hesitating? Just say it straight!

Now, everyone in the village, from the age of eighty to three, knows that you are so useless, and she will know it sooner or later."

Then he said to Qi Feifei, "Didn't you bring back fish yesterday? The whole village is talking about it today."

Zhu Li felt a little uneasy. After all, Qi Feifei said yesterday that he caught fish because "someone was eagerly waiting for him." She felt that she was the cause of the incident and felt very sorry.

"Qi Feifei, I'm sorry..."

Liu Yumei interrupted her, "That's enough. What's the point of saying sorry? It has nothing to do with you. It's not you who said it.

Qi Feifei, let me make it clear first, it wasn't me who told anyone that you caught the fish.

People outside say that you can’t have caught the fish yourself. Where can you catch fish in such a heavy rain? They are all about the same size. Maybe that wild man gave it to you!"

When Zhu Li heard the word "wild man", she became anxious and shouted in a more serious tone: "Liu Yumei!"

Liu Yumei curled her lips, "I didn't say that. These are my original words. If I didn't say that, would she take this matter seriously?"

Then he looked at Qi Feifei and said, "Some people say that you get up early and go to the mountains every day. Who knows what's going on!

I don't know how the Cai brothers were brought up again, saying that they have been coming here frequently recently just for you.

When I went there, people had already started discussing under the big willow tree, but I couldn't hear the end of it and I don't know what was going on.

If I hadn't loved going out to chat, our collective household would still be kept in the dark.

I think you should just stay in the collective household. Do you still want to keep your reputation after hearing what these old women say?"

Liu Yumei's mouth was chattering without trying to suppress the sound. In fact, everyone was awake, but some were just pretending to be asleep.

Baisha also said: "Qi Feifei, you should just rest at home for a few days. It won't be long before the autumn harvest. Anyway, you won't be cold or hungry now.

Let’s talk about it after the storm stops!

It's not worth it to ruin your reputation and delay yourself."

If my reputation is ruined, I will have no hope of attending the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University next year, and it will be difficult to find a husband in the future.

Qi Feifei listened quietly without saying anything, and silently summarized in his heart.

That is, there are three things.

1. She gets up early and goes to bed late to pick mushrooms.

Second, catch fish.

3. Go to town alone.

This is truly a disaster!

"I see, thank you for telling me.

It’s getting late, let’s all go to bed.”

Early the next morning, the team leader appeared at the door of the collective household holding his pipe.

With a serious look on his face, he hadn't slept well the previous night after hearing what his wife had said.

I couldn't understand why Qi Feifei could do something that he, an old mountain man, couldn't do.

He was worried that if there were any problems with work style, he, as the team leader, would be held responsible.

I came to stop Qi Feifei early in the morning, fearing that she would go into the mountains early again and disappear.

Zhu Li came out first and was quite surprised to see the captain. "Captain, it's so early? Are you taking a stroll?"

Captain: Why should I stroll around? I don’t have the heart to stroll around.

"Qi Feifei didn't leave, did he?"

Zhu Li: "Do you need help from Qi Feifei? She hasn't woken up yet."

The captain breathed a sigh of relief. "Tell her to come out. I'll wait for her here."

Julie agreed and went in quickly.

Qi Feifei came out after a while, and he could roughly guess what was going on.

"Captain is looking for me?"

The team leader: "Qi Feifei, you have been here for almost a month. Do you have any difficulties? If you have any questions, you can tell the team. We will do our best to solve them."

Qi Feifei: I lack food and clothing, and you can’t provide me with that.

"Captain, just tell me what you have to say."

The captain was still a little embarrassed to say it. As a grown man, it was not easy to ask him about his work style, and he had no evidence.

It’s not a good idea to ask about catching fish, because maybe someone has some good method of their own and is willing to reveal it to outsiders.

The captain thought for a while and asked, "Did you go to town smoothly a few days ago? The children said you got off the bus halfway. Did you find a ride later?"

Qi Feifei: Does it mean that the captain is thin-skinned? Or is it that he is used to walking on mountain roads and is too good at taking detours?

“When I went there, I got off the bus at a fork in the road, and walked the rest of the way. I didn’t see any bus that would give me a ride along the way.

I took a big truck from the machinery factory back home. There were two drivers, one named Cao and the other named Guan. I walked the rest of the way back alone.

The captain seemed to have more questions, but he didn't say anything.

Qi Feifei knew that the captain was a good man, and didn't want to embarrass him, so he spoke up.

"I made a fishing basket a few days ago. It's pretty useful. I'll send one to your house later. You can try it if you like. It can help improve the food for aunt and children."

The captain knew that he had heard the rumors and wanted to prove his innocence. It was not a gift to him, so he did not refuse.

"Okay, thank you uncle.

It's tiring for you to get up early and run in the mountains every day. Why don't you take a rest at home?

The autumn harvest will begin in a few days. Before the harvest, we have to go up the mountain to cut firewood, which is also tiring work. We should take care of our bodies first. We have to prepare firewood for the whole winter, which is not easy. "

Qi Feifei: You really put a lot of effort into this.

"Captain, don't worry, I promise not to cause any trouble to the collective. The collective households will have enough firewood."

She didn't say she wasn't going up the mountain. If she didn't go up the mountain, what would happen to her little lynxes? How could she go to the machinery factory? That was impossible!
