Wen Lei walked out of the educated youth spot with a basket on her back, and Ding Yanyu followed behind.

"There is a small aluminum pot under my wooden frame. You go to your room and take it out quietly. I'll hunt a pheasant. We'll go out and get some food. Don't forget to grab the bowls and chopsticks. Go wait for me by the river near the mountain." At the Educated Youth Point Outside the hospital, Wen Lei whispered to Ding Yanyu. After speaking, Wen Lei quickly walked towards Beishan.

Passing by the place where the house was built, I saw that the earth wall had been erected and the bushes in front had been cleared. I walked to the wasteland and took a look. There were signs of being turned over in some parts. It must have been done by Yuan Jian, Xiao Qing, Gu Chen and others when they took the time. The earthen wall is less than one meter high, and the villagers only work for two or three hours when they get off work. They still have to wait until they move out of the educated youth area. The cave discovered by Yuan Yuan is just south of the woodshed. Wen Lei came closer and saw that the entrance to the hole had been blocked. When she knocked it with her hand, it was empty. It seemed that the inside was made of wooden boards and the outside was covered with mud.

It seems that those three guys are quite busy these days. After looking around, Wen Lei walked towards Beishan, thinking about something in her mind.

After walking a few steps at the foot of Beishan, I caught a pheasant with Congcong's help.

Wen Lei wanted to go back after catching the pheasant, but Cong Cong refused and insisted on raising pheasants in the space. Wen Lei couldn't stand his noise and had no choice but to compromise. Wen Lei had no choice but to continue going up the mountain, and she didn't catch a few pheasants until she was halfway up the mountain. While gnawing on the melons grown in the space, he negotiated with Congcong in the space to live a happy life. Congcong ignored her and claimed that she had been given a holiday these days and told her to work hard.

The negotiation failed, so he accepted his fate and caught a dozen pheasants for Congcong and four or five hares outside.

After satisfying Congcong, Wenlei was not satisfied anymore and asked Congcong to help him find mushrooms. Congcong pointed out a few places and picked two full baskets of mushrooms and fungus. Wen Lei left only half of the basket, dug up wild onions and garlic, and hurried down the mountain.

Wen Leiye asked Congcong to help handle a pheasant in the space, and after handling it, he directly helped her put the basket on her back.

When they arrived at the meeting place with Ding Yanyu, Ding Yanyu had already set up the pot, and the water in the small pot was already boiling and rolling. Wen Lei took out more than a pound of rice from her backpack and put it into the pot.

"Why are you here? I have to go look for you? I wanted to bring Yuan Yuan here, but the little guy took the swing net you gave him and went to sleep somewhere? You even brought rice!" Ding Yanyu chattered non-stop. , her eyes gleamed when she saw the rice that Wen Lei took out.

Wen Lei took out the pheasant that Cong Cong had prepared. Looking at the pheasant that looked like it was torn into four halves by hand, the corner of Wen Lei's mouth twitched. Just as Ding Yanyu was about to open her mouth, Wen Lei didn't want to rack her brains and deceive her, so she directly handed her the backpack. "Ma Liu went to wash up."

Put the two melons in the basket and take out the condiments. Ding Yanyu looked at the small paper package in her hand and kept shouting that she was really well prepared.

There was a little too much water in the pot, so Wen Lei gently scooped the rice water into the bowl. After a while, the rice in the pot was almost gone. Is there still rice soup in the two bowls? Wen Lei was dumbfounded. If the rice was not served, the chicken would not be stewed.

Wen Lei looked around and saw a few lotus leaves in the river not far away. She quickly walked over and picked several lotus leaves. After cleaning it and bringing it back, he took out the rice and put it on the lotus leaves. Ding Yanyu Ma Liu cleaned the pot. Seeing Ding Yanyu holding half of the pot of water, Wen Lei twitched her lips, put the pheasant in the pot, put some salt on it, covered the pot and simmered.

The two of them sat on the ground, drinking rice soup from the bowl, enjoying the smell of chicken overflowing from the aluminum pot, and quietly watching the flowing river water. The pheasant meat rolled a few times in the pot, and Wen Lei threw in the bags of seasonings. She didn't cut the onions, ginger, and garlic, but just tore the wild onions a few times with her hands, and put them all into the pot together. When the strong smell of meat penetrated her nostrils, she put the washed mushrooms into the pot.

Put the rice on it, lift the lid, and the delicious aroma will overflow. The two smiled at each other and started eating. Before I had eaten a few mouthfuls, there were several unknown women and children around me. The children looked at the rice in the lotus leaves and smelled the pheasant meat in the pot, and their mouths watered. The eyes of the women were also incomprehensible. Wen Lei and Ding Yanyu were shocked by this situation, and they didn't want to eat or not.

"Mom, I want to eat meat! I want to eat meat..." A three or four-year-old boy with a runny nose pulled the clothes of a woman in her 20s and kept crying.

"I want to eat meat..." "I want to eat meat too, and I also want to eat white rice..." Several other children also cried, and an older woman directly picked up the pot with rice on it. leaf.

Ding Yanyu quickly took it back. "What do you want to do? Are you going to grab it?"

"How can you girl do this? You can't finish eating so much. Why share it with a few children? This pheasant comes from the mountain. The food on the mountain is collective. You eat it here secretly and share it with the children. Can't you? None of you educated youths are good! We won't buy the rice with the money we sell lobsters, right?" The old woman said and went to carry the pot. Wen Lei held the pot with one hand and watched quietly. she.

Wen Lei recognized her, Aunt Hua's maiden sister-in-law, her surname was Zhang.

"Aunt Zhang? The pot is mine, and I brought the rice from home. You can eat chicken if you want. Shall we go to the brigade? When we get there, I will take out the pheasant from the pot. If you want to share it, we will share it together as a group.

"Wen Lei grabbed her immediately, and her behavior was extremely disgusting. It's not like Wen Lei couldn't give points to her children if she spoke well, but her behavior and natural attitude made Wen Lei very angry. She would rather throw away everything now. Don't want to give them a bite.

Wen Lei packed up her things as she spoke, picked up a bowl with rice wrapped in a lotus leaf, put the basket on her back, put the pot in her hands, turned around and left. Ding Yanyu wrapped the rice in lotus leaves and put it in his backpack. He also wrapped the bowl in his hand with lotus leaves and put it in his backpack. He and Wen Lei turned around and walked towards the brigade headquarters.

The young woman used lotus leaves to get some water from the river and put out the fire. She was still worried and ran back and forth twice. Aunt Zhang took her two grandsons and said to another woman, "Let's go with them to the brigade headquarters. The pheasant in the pot hasn't been touched yet? How can I get a chicken drumstick for my child?"

Halfway through, I met Zhang Laifei, who was cutting pigweed. Wen Lei stepped forward and pulled him away. When they arrived at the brigade headquarters, Wen Lei called over all the children playing in the open space. When the captain saw Wen Lei's aggressive look, Ding Yanyu became even more angry. Looking at Aunt Zhang following them, I knew in my heart that the careless Mrs. Zhang had offended them.

"What's wrong?" the captain asked.

"It's nothing. We just came to the brigade not long ago, and we didn't know that the people in the village would rob other people's food. Everyone had eaten when we returned to the educated youth point at noon, and we couldn't cook ourselves when we first arrived. So we took some from home. I brought the rice and planned to cook some rice soup by the river. I happened to meet a pheasant, so I cooked it on the way.

Aunt Zhang said that the pheasants belong to a group, and they came up to grab our rice and to carry the pot. She also said that our rice was bought with money from the children selling lobsters. I am not exaggerating. The rice I brought was specially supplied by Sioux City. It is not available in the county or even in the country. This is what my grandparents saved from eating and brought to me. Fortunately, I didn’t buy rice, otherwise I really couldn’t tell. We brought the pheasant to the brigade. Uncles, uncles, aunts, and aunts all happened to be witnesses. Captain, we won’t eat the chicken. Please find a bowl and we will serve it out. "
