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

At the educated youth point, three people carried a load and passed it around the village. No matter how many pheasants they caught after that, the smell of stewed chickens would only come out from the six pheasants they had replaced.

After storing these hard goods, the educated youths' granary actually occupied a row of shelves. The team would soon distribute the food, so the male educated youths found some thick branches and hurriedly built a few shelves.

At this time, Song Zhian and Xing Qingsheng often went to the mountains to catch a few pheasants.

In the blink of an eye, another ten days passed, and the team issued a notice to distribute food two days before New Year's Day.

After breakfast that day, Zhu Xiaomin and Xie Chengzhi went to the brigade headquarters to help with the preparations for food distribution. Song Zhian and others followed Miao Shiwen out. Miao Shiwen and Chen Xudong went to the base as usual, but Song Zhian and others went directly to the mountain.

In fact, the work points before October this year have already been calculated when the money and fuel are divided. The calculation is for the next three months, which is much simpler. All Zhu Xiaomin and Huang Xiaojuan have to do is check again.

There were not many things to do, and they were done quickly. Huang Xiaojuan approached Zhu Xiaomin and said, "Why are you getting married, and Lu Mingzheng doesn't come back to arrange it? It's all on your own?"

Zhu Xiaomin smiled: "He just needs to be there in person on the wedding day."

Huang Xiaojuan was amused and bumped into her: "Thanks to you, I didn't cause trouble even if I didn't care about others."

Zhu Xiaomin sighed: "What can I do?"

Maybe she and Lu Mingzheng spent less time together and more separation in the last life, and she wasn't used to relying on him for everything. It seemed like it was the same in this life.

Just as he was talking, he saw Song Zhian coming in from the door. Seeing that she was in charge of finance, he hesitated and waved to her.

Knowing that Song Zhian and others went up the mountain to catch pheasants and brought dry food for lunch, they should only come back in the afternoon. It was only half morning, so I was afraid something might have happened.

Zhu Xiaomin was taken aback, and hurriedly said hello to the two of them, then came out and followed Song Zhian to the gate before asking, "What's wrong?"

Song Zhian's face was solemn: "We went to the mountain today and found someone following us."

"Following?" Zhu Xiaomin opened her eyes wide in surprise and immediately looked back, "How did you find out? Where are the birthday celebrations and the others?"

"It's okay." Song Zhian shook his head and said with a frown, "We entered the forest and found two pheasants before we even got out of the basket. We quietly went over and tried to catch them, and then we heard a sound behind us."

During the snow that fell at the beginning of the month, the roads were gradually covered with soil, but the ones on the mountains did not melt. In addition, there were a lot of dead leaves in the natural forests, and it was inevitable that people would make sounds when they stepped on them.

When they were about to catch pheasants and stepped lightly, the sound of the people behind them stepping on dead leaves and residual snow was particularly clear.

"How could anyone go up the mountain at this time?" Zhu Xiaomin's face suddenly became solemn.

Song Zhian nodded: "We thought that, like us, they secretly went up the mountain to catch the pheasants, so we pretended to have missed it, let the pheasants run away, and walked deeper, but the people behind us still followed."

So, someone is indeed following.

Zhu Xiaomin asked: "Then you came back?"

Song Zhian shook his head: "We simply wandered around the mountain for a while, found a few nut trees, and brought back some wild walnuts, but those people kept following us."

Zhu Xiaomin lowered his head to think about it, nodded and said, "You go back first and ask a few more people to pick up Shiwen and Xudong. We will discuss it when we go back later."

"Okay!" Song Zhian nodded, glanced up at the brigade headquarters yard, and whispered, "We're afraid it's Qian Yuanfei's people. Don't be alone. We'll come over later and wait for you to go back together."

Zhu Xiaomin nodded: "Okay!" After watching him leave, he turned around and came back.

In the afternoon, Xing Qingsheng and others came over. When she and Xie Chengzhi went back together, several group leaders from the educated youth point and Chen Xudong and Yang Aijun, who were familiar with the situation, were waiting in the room.

Everyone agreed that the people on the mountain today were Qian Yuanfei's people.

Zhu Xiaomin nodded and said: "They failed to harm us that day and were beaten. They must not be convinced. In this way, in addition to preventing them from hurting others, we must also guard against those who are playing dirty tricks."

"There are three of us today. Judging from the sound, there must be four or five of them. We were afraid that they would do something, so one of us picked up a stick." Song Zhian said.

Zhu Xiaomin shook his head: "They didn't take action, and they weren't necessarily afraid of your sticks. They probably wanted to catch you for your mistakes."

Xie Chengzhi nodded: "There is snow on the mountain. We are carrying a basket into the mountain at this time. Maybe they guessed what we wanted to do, so they waited for us to catch the pheasant and then charge us with it."

This is what Qian Yuanfei did.

Miao Shiwen immediately nodded and said: "We are not short of food this year. Since we are being targeted by them, let's not go."

"We still have to go." Zhu Xiaomin shook his head and saw that everyone looked surprised and explained, "This is all our guess now. We need to find a way to confirm it."

"How to be sure?" Wu Xulin asked.

Zhu Xiaomin thought about it, took out a pen and paper, and drew some terrain on the mountain: "Tomorrow, the three of you will follow the poems and go into the mountain together. It's the same as today, but the route will be changed. You'll go through the natural forest and go around here. That road faces the hillside here, and people below can see it."

As soon as she said it, Chen Xudong already understood: "If some of us go up from here and hide in the woods, we can see that there are people behind you."

Xie Chengzhi nodded repeatedly: "Yes, if anything happens, we can rush to help as soon as possible."

Song Zhian asked: "If someone is really following, are you going to arrest them?"

"No, we just need to see clearly who it is." Zhu Xiaomin shook his head.

Xie Chengzhi thought for a while and then said: "The food will be divided the day after tomorrow. Tomorrow is the last day. Xiaomin and I can't leave. Half of you will go and the other half will stay at home."

There is another Luo Ting Yuan here, so we can’t let everyone leave.

Everyone nodded and immediately assigned manpower.

The next day, Song Zhian, Xing Qingsheng and Yang Aijun still went up the mountain. They were still together with Miao Shiwen and Chen Xudong for the first part. When they entered the natural forest, they did not follow them and went directly into the forest.

Only this time, I took a different path out of the natural forest and followed the path Zhu Xiaomin told me.

On the other side, Wu Xulin led a dozen educated youths up the mountain from the other side of the brigade and took a path into the woods below.

At noon, two groups of people came back one after another. When Zhu Xiaomin and Xie Chengzhi came back, they all looked solemn and nodded their heads.

Wu Xulin said: "We saw clearly that there were four or five people following them, three of whom we had met that day."

I had a fight and was quite impressed.

Miao Shiwen nodded: "It seems that they really want to find something to use against us and accuse the educated youth."

Zhu Xiaomin also nodded: "Tomorrow the team will distribute food, and then it will be New Year's Day. No one has time, so don't worry about it for now. We will figure out a solution after the holidays."

It can only be like this!

Everyone was a little angry, but they had no choice but to settle the matter of preparing to distribute the food.
