Siheyuan: Yan Jiekuang's carefree life

Yan Jiekuang replied, "I'll go to the brigade headquarters to get a certificate, and then go to the mountains to see if there are any wild vegetables. We can't rely on your half box of braised pork for lunch, can we?!"

"Oh!" Su Zihui really wanted to go with Yan Jiekuang, but was afraid that he would hold Yan Jiekuang back. Plus, someone would deliver furniture soon, so Su Zihui had to give up the idea of ​​going up the mountain with Yan Jiekuang.

Yan Jiekuang went back to the house, got his backpack and straw hat, locked the door, and left the educated youth station. More than ten minutes later, Yan Jiekuang arrived at the brigade headquarters. When he reached the door of the office, Yan Jiekuang reached out and knocked on the door. Gao Junsong heard the knock and shouted, "Come in!"

Yan Jiekuang pushed the door open and walked into the office, saying, "Captain, I am the new educated youth Yan Jiekuang."

When Gao Junsong heard that it was a new educated youth, he unconsciously looked at Yan Jiekuang and asked, "Yan Zhiqing, what are you doing here?!"

Yan Jiekuang replied, "I came to ask you for a certificate so that I can go to town to buy some farm tools this afternoon."

"Go there in the afternoon?!" Gao Junsong frowned unconsciously.

Yan Jiekuang said: "Captain, I have a bicycle."

Gao Junsong reacted instantly when he heard the word "bicycle". No wonder the name Yan Jiekuang was so familiar. Yesterday, his youngest son Gou Wa came home and told him about the bicycle. Since Yan Jiekuang had a bicycle, Gao Junsong was relieved. Gao Junsong opened the drawer and took out a piece of paper to write a certificate, while advising: "Little Yan, although our place is peaceful, we are surrounded by mountains, and it is inevitable that there will be some wild animals or something. Come back as early as you can. If you can't, go tomorrow."

"Hey!" Yan Jiekuang responded, waited for Gao Junsong to stamp the certificate, then took the certificate and said, "Uncle Captain, don't worry! I know what's going on."

Gao Junsong said: "It's OK as long as you know the number."

"Then I'm leaving!" Yan Jiekuang turned and left the office. Gao Junsong stood up, walked to the window, looked at Yan Jiekuang's back, and muttered, "What an interesting little guy."

Yan Jiekuang had just left when Tian Dazhuang walked into the office. Gao Junsong saw Tian Dazhuang looking unhappy and asked, "Old Tian, ​​who made you angry?!"

Tian Dazhuang replied, "Who else could it be?! Those newly arrived educated youth. Especially the one called Wang Jianqiang. This guy is the worst. His words were as nasty as they could be. He offended Sister Hehua, the good person in our village."

Gao Junsong was immediately amused and said, "He has offended Sister Hehua, and he still wants to live a good life in our village?!" Then he asked, "Is Sister Hehua not sick from being mad at her?!"

"No! I just happened to pass by and took care of the matter." Tian Dazhuang replied, and then said: "Why is there such a big gap between educated youth?!" Then Tian Dazhuang told Gao Junsong about Yan Jiekuang and Su Zihui going to Carpenter Wu's house to buy furniture.

Gao Junsong said, "Just before you came, Yan Jiekuang came to me and got a certificate. He was going to the town to buy farm tools."

"Buy farm tools?!" Tian Dazhuang was stunned and said, "Doesn't the brigade have farm tools?!"

Gao Junsong reminded him: "Have you forgotten the private plots of the educated youth?!"

"Ouch!" Tian Dazhuang slapped his forehead and said, "How could I have forgotten about this? The first batch of educated youth went to the town to buy farm tools, and the second batch was hibernating when they came, so they didn't think about the private plots. I didn't expect this kid to think of it."

Gao Junsong said: "I guess among the new educated youth, only a few will prepare farm tools by themselves. The others will either borrow farm tools from educated youth in the yard, or use those from the brigade."

Tian Dazhuang said, "I'll tell Dalian to keep a close eye on the farm tools and don't let the educated youth take advantage of them."

Yan Jiekuang left the brigade headquarters and headed straight for the mountain. After walking for a while, Yan Jiekuang met some village children who were picking grass for pigs and cows. They all knew him because they had eaten Yan Jiekuang's candy. The children took the initiative to greet Yan Jiekuang.

Yan Jiekuang stopped, chatted with the children, and then continued to walk into the mountains. Although the plants on the mountain had just been baptized by the severe winter, they had not yet fully recovered. However, some common wild vegetables still stubbornly emerged from the ground. Divine consciousness was Yan Jiekuang's best pathfinding radar. In just over an hour, Yan Jiekuang harvested a lot of wild vegetables, and also collected two wild rabbits that came out to forage and three pheasants hiding in the bushes.

Yan Jiekuang raised his wrist and checked the time on his watch. He thought it was about time. So he picked up some firewood and started walking back. When he was almost at the foot of the mountain, Yan Jiekuang suddenly saw a few elderly people clearing the land. Yan Jiekuang's brows instantly frowned: "Are these people the ones locked in the cowshed?!" Yan Jiekuang stared at those people for a while, then pretended not to see them and continued walking down the mountain. At the same time, Yan Jiekuang used his spiritual sense to scan the entire village and quickly determined the location of the cowshed.

When Yan Jiekuang was about to reach the gate of the educated youth camp, Yao Yueting and Wu Lina appeared behind him. Yao Yueting called out, "Yan the educated youth!"

Yan Jiekuang stopped and asked, "Sister Yao, are you two off work?!"

"Yes!" Yao Yueting replied, and asked, "Where are you coming back from?!"

Yan Jiekuang replied: "I just went to the mountains and picked some wild vegetables. I was lucky today and caught a wild rabbit and a pheasant."

When Wu Lina heard that Yan Jiekuang had hunted down a hare and a pheasant, her eyes lit up and she said, "Yan Zhiqing, I didn't expect you to be so capable!!"

Yan Jiekuang replied: "This is also luck! I won't tell you anymore, I still have to go back to cook!"

When Yan Jiekuang entered the educated youth center, Wu Lina said, "Sister Yao, this Yan Jiekuang is really different from other educated youths."

Yao Yueting smiled and joked, "What?! Are you attracted to him?!"

Wu Lina replied: "How could I like him! Even if I like him, would Su Zhiqing, who came with him, agree?! Besides, I still want to go back! I won't consider this matter in the short term."

Su Zihui, who was leaning on the kang reading a book, put down the book when she heard the noise, walked out of the room, and saw Yan Jiekuang opening the door. She smiled and asked, "Why are you back so soon?!"

Yan Jiekuang replied, "I'm lucky today. I got a lot of good stuff in the mountains. Please help me deliver this bundle of firewood to the front and return it to the old educated youth."

"Hey!" Su Zihui took the firewood handed over by Yan Jiekuang and ran to the front yard. After about three or four minutes, Su Zihui came back. Su Zihui saw Yan Jiekuang walking to the well with a backpack and an enamel basin in his hands. Su Zihui walked to Yan Jiekuang's side curiously, took a look at the things in the backpack, and shouted excitedly: "Rabbit?!"

Yan Jiekuang smiled and replied, "Not only rabbits, but also chickens. We'll make the rabbit spicy later. As for the chicken, we'll make a soup with wild vegetables."

Su Zihui asked, "Two meat dishes, just for the two of us. Isn't that too extravagant?!"

Yan Jiekuang replied, "It's not that extravagant. The weather is good now. Even if we can't finish it in one meal, we can have a few more meals. You should go back to the house and rest first! Killing chickens and rabbits is a bit bloody, so it's better not to watch."

"Then I'll go back to the house first! If you need my help, just call me!" After saying that, Su Zihui looked back every few steps and went back to the house reluctantly.
