The educated youth was reborn and wanted to disappear, but he was locked into a military marriage.

Seeing that he finally had a smile on his face, Zhu Xiaomin breathed a sigh of relief, touched his head, asked him to help get the bowl, and called everyone to start dinner.

The next day, Chen Xudong went to the county with several large barrels of food. He came back in the afternoon and said, "The two bottles of hawthorn sauce that Xiaomin left before were taken directly to the counter and bought and eaten. When customers came in, they used chopsticks to pick out some for them to try. People have been waiting for them for the past two days, and today just after they were delivered, many people came to buy them with tea jars or cans and bottles."

"What about hawthorn cake?" Zhu Xiaomin asked immediately.

Chen Xudong nodded: "If someone buys hawthorn sauce, then someone will buy a piece of hawthorn cake to try. It seems to be in good condition. Secretary Yan said that I would give it to him." Then he gave her a list, "This is what Secretary Yan said. If you like the price, I’ll sign the agreement when I send you something again.”

Zhu Xiaomin took a look and found that after calculating the cost, it was still higher than the normal purchase price. Naturally, this was because these two items were new and the price was a bit higher.

Huang Xiaojuan asked next to her: "Where are the candied haws?"

Chen Xudong nodded and said: "The candied haws will also be delivered. This thing won't go bad at once, but Secretary Yan said that we should focus on making hawthorn sauce first. The one that sells best."

After all, candied haws are just a snack for children, and hawthorn cake is a snack. Only hawthorn sauce can be used with meals. It saves food money.

Understood!

Zhu Xiaomin nodded, immediately adjusted the amounts of the three items, and went to find the sisters-in-law in the big kitchen room.

More than two thousand kilograms of hawthorns were all consumed in only five or six days. Huang Meihua was speechless when she heard the number reported by Huang Xiaojuan. She looked at Zhu Xiaomin and smiled: "Don't tell me, this girl is really good at making money. Thank you for your willingness to donate this skill for free."

One person only knows how to make candied haws, and hawthorn sauce is easy to figure out, but not necessarily hawthorn cake.

Qian Yuanfei frowned: "Director Huang, what are you talking about? If she doesn't contribute her skills, how could she keep them to herself? That would be a mistake."

Huang Meihua shrugged: "So I praise Zhu Educated Youth for being selfless."

Zhu Xiaomin smiled: "The two directors are right, everything about us is collective. Hawthorn is collective, bamboo sticks are collective, labor force is collective, I am also collective, and my ideas are even more collective. Where What kind of contribution can you think of?"

What she said was plausible, but people couldn't figure out what was wrong with it. Qian Yuanfei was startled and subconsciously wanted to refute her, but he had no place to say it, but Huang Meihua couldn't help laughing.

Forget about anything else, the phrase "I am also a member of the collective" sounded ridiculous and was clearly meant to be a joke.

When Qian Yuanfei heard her laugh, he seriously suspected that there was something in Zhu Xiaomin's words, but he couldn't tell, and his expression turned even darker.

In a few days, counting on the day when the ewes would give birth, the educated youths were transferred to three shifts and guarded the base all day.

Back and forth, the ewes gave birth one after another, and it took four or five days to finish. Seeing the newborn lambs, the educated youths were indescribably happy until they moved the lambs and ewes into the specially built sheepfold. Check all the heating facilities in place before returning home with confidence.

On the first day of December, strong winds swept heavy snow, which fell overwhelmingly. The temperature suddenly dropped a lot, and the mountains became frozen. The entire forest farm's digging task came to a complete halt, and the road was difficult to walk, even for children. We also suspended classes temporarily and did not resume until the weather cleared.

The earthen stoves in the school were all set on fire, and there was no way to sit for long periods of time in the courtyard of the educated youth spot. After the children were out of school, the study area was moved into the school.

Luo Tingyuan never said anything about Zhu Xiaomin's return to the city and continued to give lectures to everyone as usual. However, Zhu Xiaomin obviously felt that his lectures had sped up and were more detailed.

The production tasks in the team came to a halt, but the people at the brigade headquarters became busy. They held a meeting to discuss the rules for distributing food to everyone. Miao Shiwen was only responsible for the affairs of the base and did not participate in the meetings at the brigade headquarters. Xie Chengzhi and Zhu Xiaomin had to attend.

The two entered Gumancang's office on time. As soon as they sat down, they saw Qian Yuanfei also coming in, followed by someone else.

When he missed Qian Yuanfei and saw that person, Zhu Xiaomin was stunned for a moment, and unconsciously turned around to look at Xie Chengzhi.

Shi Meijun, why have you forgotten this person?

After five months of raising her, Shi Meijun was much more plump than before she gave birth. When she saw Zhu Xiaomin, she raised her chin slightly and greeted her with a half-smile: "Zhu Zhiqing, I've long heard that you are getting married, why is there no news now?" ?”

After Lu Mingzheng left, more than twenty days passed in the blink of an eye, without a trace of him, not even a letter.

During this period of time, Zhu Xiaomin often wondered whether he had changed his mind or was stuck by something. He always got lost in thought and forgot what he was doing.

However, she was confused. In such a scene, she always refused to lose, so she immediately responded: "Why is Shi Zhiqing still thinking about Lu Mingzheng after he is married and has children with a lot of men? Otherwise, has there been any movement from him? What does it have to do with you?"

What does it mean to have a lot of men?

Shi Meijun's face suddenly darkened and she screamed: "Zhu Xiaomin, what did you say?"

Zhu Xiaomin's smile did not change, she spread her hands and said, "Look, you obviously heard it and knew that what I said was not a good thing, but you still have to ask me again, let me say it again, do you think you are cheap?"

This girl's mouth is quite vicious.

Several brigade cadres were sweating on their foreheads after hearing this.

This cultured man cursed people more harshly than the shrew in his village.

When Qian Yuanfei heard her sentence "There are a lot of men", he also felt that he was being connoted. He coughed and said coldly, "Zhu Zhiqing, watch your words."

Zhu Xiaomin faced him again with a smile on her face: "What is Director Qian so worried about?"

"You..." Qian Yuanfei gritted his teeth angrily.

Gu Mancang waved his hands hurriedly: "Today is a meeting within the brigade headquarters to discuss the distribution of grain at the end of the year. If you have anything to say, please discuss it privately." After hearing a few people quiet down, he said to Xia Dongliang, "Captain Xia, please tell me. .”

Xia Dongliang nodded and said: "In addition to food this year, we also have to thank the educated youth production team for their efforts, allowing the base to create so much income for us. Let me first let Accountant Huang talk about this year's income."

Huang Xiaojuan immediately stood up and introduced everyone to this year's income and what will be divided later.

In addition to the grain distribution, there are also some outputs from the base, such as rams that have not been selected as breeding sheep, ewes that have not been successfully bred, and some raised roosters.

Last year, the city supported more than 200 lambs, more than 150 sheep, and more than 50 goats. Now more than 100 ewes and more than 30 female goats have been successfully bred and have given birth to lambs. During the lactation period, a total of twelve breeding sheep were left on both sides, and the rest were sold.

In addition, although the chickens were carefully selected at the beginning, it was difficult to distinguish them when they were young. Among the more than 200 chickens, there were still more than 20 roosters mixed in. Two were left, and the rest were sold. Lose.
