Years: Salted Fish Life Since Going to the Countryside

Chapter 116 Troublemaker

They came here to talk about the new educated youth, after all, the educated youth in front of them had made such a big scene.

Yun Yingying ignored Yun Jingjing's rolling eyes, she sat next to Han Li and asked.

"What are you going to eat for lunch? I'll ask my sister to make it for us."

Yun Jingjing.?

(Or just sell this sister.)

Han Li: "I can do anything. The sooner the better. How about we all take a rest."

"Everyone was talking about the new educated youth coming today this morning. Who do you think are the people coming this month? They are not all the people from the Black Five, right?"

Han Li: "It's hard to say. It may be that the time for going to the countryside is different, or it may be that they are not ideologically conscious and have been forced to come down. Of course, it is not impossible that the people from the Black Five you mentioned are not impossible, but we don't live in the educated youth courtyard, and the usual troubles can't be found here. Just live your own life."

While the two were sitting here talking, Yun Jingjing had already prepared the meal.

Corn porridge, corn cakes, some shepherd's purse, and some tender radish leaves picked from the yard to dip in sauce, and lunch was over.

After they left, Han Li rarely took a lunch break today.

He left the street door ajar, let the wolf string go, and went into the cellar.

After a night of pickling, these lean meat strips were very tasty.

Han Li strung them all up, but it was not okay to hang them in the cellar at this time.

So Han Li hung them all next to the beehive and covered them with branches.

These flying bees are natural guardians, and the meat strips don't have to worry about being discovered by others during the days of drying.

The wolf strings looked at the meat, and their mouths watered.

But they still squatted very obediently by the side, without making any sound.

Han Li was quite satisfied with this, so he took out some pig ears, pig lard and other fragrant heads to feed them again.

After going to work, Han Li remembered that he should check the charcoal he burned yesterday.

However, Han Li didn't want to carry charcoal back in a backpack, otherwise he would be covered in black ash.

So he borrowed a cart from the village branch and went to the place where he burned charcoal without even going home.

When he got here, he first broke the mud outside and saw if it was burned to ash. Fortunately, the wood was not burned to ash.

Han Li took out a piece of charcoal and broke it open. The color inside was uniform and seemed to be good. He should have burned it.

He loaded all the charcoal onto the cart, and then filled the original kang with dead grass and wood again.

After lighting it, he simply sealed it, and Han Li went home with his harvest.

But at this time, Han Li's hands and face were all black ash, just like a coal mine worker who had just come out of the bottom of the well.

When he pulled the cart to his door, he happened to meet Village Chief Zhao leaving the Youth Courtyard.

"You are really good, you can actually make charcoal by yourself."

"I learned this from someone last time, but I didn't expect to make it in one go."

Village Chief Zhao broke off a stick and took a look, then nodded.

"Okay, this one is of good quality, and it is made from oak. The oak charcoal here is the most durable. If you burn more charcoal, you won't suffer so much in winter. It would be great if all the educated youth were like you."

"I just have a lot of strength, and the other comrades are not bad either."

"Haha, I hope so."

Village Chief Zhao put his hands behind his back and shook his head and walked away. Han Li glanced at the educated youth courtyard. Could it be that the educated youth brought back this time were not good?

Then Han Li also shook his head. It was none of his business whether it was good or not. He pulled the cart with both arms and entered the courtyard.

The Yun sisters came over to help unload the cart, but were stopped by Han Li.

There was not much charcoal in total, so there was no need for everyone to get all black.

Seeing this, Yun Yingying sent her sister to cook. She stood beside Han Li and talked to him.

"Han Li, why did you think of burning charcoal?"

"I can see that you don't talk much with the villagers. If you want to live comfortably in winter here, it's not enough to rely on the kang alone. At that time, making a brazier and burning charcoal can make the room warmer. And you forget the habit of our city of four nines. Every nine days is the day to eat hot pot. With these charcoals, it is convenient for us to set up a pot. Think about it. We set up a pot in the house in the ice and snow. Even if we can only blanch some cabbage, it feels very comfortable."

"But we don't have a copper pot?"

"If there is no copper pot, we can use a casserole. It's good to be able to blanch the pot at this time. Why can we be so particular about it?"

"Yes, we have left home and gone to the northeast now."

"In addition, there is another biggest use of charcoal. I will tell you when I finish the experiment."

While the two were talking, Han Li had unloaded the charcoal and then went to the branch to return the cart.

As soon as Han Li entered the branch, he saw Sun Yong and Jiang Xiaoli with a few new educated youths. Sun Yong asked when he saw him.

"Comrade Han, did you fall into the stove? How did you get into this state?"

"I burned some charcoal by the river yesterday afternoon and brought it back today."

Jiang Xiaoli: "Comrade Han really knows how to live. He picked up a large pile of firewood at home and now he has burned all the charcoal."

Han Li: "I am just a little bit ahead of everyone else because I am the early bird."

Sun Yong: "These are all comrades who just came to the countryside today. Go back and wash yourself now. I'll introduce you to the Youth Hostel later."

"Okay, it's really hard for me to greet you now."

Han Li smiled and nodded to them, handed the cart to the custodian and went back.

After he left, some of these new educated youths asked Sun Yong and Jiang Xiaoli about Han Li.

"Captain Jiang, who is this tall, dark guy?"

Jiang Xiaoli: "His name is Han Li. He is an educated youth who came to the countryside like us, but he built a house outside and doesn't live in the Youth Hostel now."

"Can he build a house outside?"

Jiang Xiaoli's words immediately attracted the attention of these people. They had seen their living environment when they were dividing the beds just now.

Although humans are social animals, few people like the life of a large bunk bed.

If there is a chance to get a separate room, no one present will refuse.

Sun Yong saw the expressions of these new educated youths and knew what they were thinking without having to guess.

So he talked about the conditions for building his house and the approximate cost, and someone immediately raised questions.

"Why would the brigade have such a requirement? We have to hand over the house we built with our own money when we leave?"

"That's right, isn't this too unreasonable? They are specialized, we can..."

When Sun Yong heard what these people said, his heart suddenly skipped a beat, but he immediately stopped them.

"Don't argue, this policy is agreed by the higher-ups, no one is forcing you to build your own house, if you don't accept it, you can live in the Youth House."

Sun Yong's words were not heard by everyone, and someone immediately stood up to refute.

"Why, we are..., they are..."

The bad premonition in Sun Yong's heart became stronger and stronger, and the quota for the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University seemed to have grown wings and was going away from him.

"Shut up, have you forgotten the slogan before departure? Obey the needs of the motherland and accept the people's selection. Now the people have given you these two options. You can either accept this condition or apply to leave here."

Jiang Xiaoli also had a headache at this time, and it became more painful when she looked inside the room.

Most of the new educated youth didn't say anything, only two of them jumped up and down very happily.

They still thought they were in school, they could do whatever they wanted? Just shout a few times.

And all their words were heard by the team leader and the village head, and she had to stay away from them in the future.

But at this time, she still needed to come out to smooth things over, otherwise it would seem that she, the educated youth team leader, was too incompetent, which would be disadvantageous for her to get a place in the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University.

"Everyone, please say less. This is the system set by the higher-ups, and we just have to abide by it. It's just like going to the countryside to join the production team. Whether you want to come or not, you're here, right?"

Jiang Xiaoli's words were quite powerful, and they shut up immediately.

At this time, Team Leader Liang and Village Head Zhao were smoking in the house, and they heard everything that was said outside.

Captain Liang: "There are two troublemakers among these newcomers. How about we give them more responsibilities?"

Village Chief Zhao: "Then put them in the first team. Let people pay attention to these two troublemakers and don't let them take advantage of the situation."

.

Han Li didn't take going to the Youth Hostel seriously, but Yang Xiuying came over just after he finished his meal.

"Han Li, there seems to be a quarrel in the Youth Hostel. Should we go over to watch the fun?"

"Fighting just after arriving? Why?"

"I didn't hear it clearly. It seems to be about cooking."

"No, Sun Yong will notify us to meet the new comrades later. Then we will know what it is."

"You are so boring."

"Haha."

"Forget it, I'll ask He Mi and the others to go and watch."

Not long after Yang Xiuying left, Sun Yong came to call him, but his face was not very good.

Han Li pretended not to notice that the mess in the Youth Hostel was nothing more than pots and pans.

And even if he didn't ask, others would tell him about it later.

The two of them walked out together, chatting. Sun Yong whispered to Han Li at this time.

"Mai Weiguo and Xiong Xianjin among this group of newcomers should be the more radical ones. Everyone should be careful."

"Thank you, but you, the captain, may be the most troublesome. If..."

Sun Yong sighed deeply, and finally said helplessly and a little angrily.

"I have been in the countryside for three years. I finally got the qualification to go to school. I don't want anyone to ruin it. I have no way to go back to the city to work. The Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University is my only chance to leave here. I don't want anyone to ruin it..."
