The Siheyuan of the Young Educated Youth

In the eyes of Lao Niu’s family, what’s the big deal about stealing?

Picking some vegetables from the east neighbor's field, breaking corn ears from the west neighbor's field, picking up an egg, or grabbing a neighbor's chicken if you're hungry, what's that a big deal?

If they find out, they will yell at you and at worst, they will beat you up.

Nothing will be delayed.

There is no pressure to admit it.

But they really didn’t see the black box, and they didn’t steal it themselves.

Niu Da was about to say something, but then he closed his mouth again.

The old cow woman has no guilty conscience.

"Isn't your dog awesome? If you can find it yourself, you'll be awesome if you find it."

Zheng Xiaoquan and his companions brought out the wolf meat.

They also heard the noise in the yard just now.

"Okay, the three members of Lao Niu's family should all come with us. We will discuss how to deal with it later with the brigade cadres."

Then he said to Qi Feifei, "Talk to the brigade cadres about your matter in detail later and see how to deal with it."

Then he said to the villagers who were watching, "Everyone please go back and eat. We will be busy later."

Zheng Xiaoquan was leaving with his men.

Qi Feifei picked up a bag of corn from the lower room of Lao Niu's house without any hesitation.

The old cow woman was eager to try to snatch it back.

Zheng Xiaoquan, "You stole half a bag of flour from someone else, and they took your bag of corn, which is reasonable. Let's go to the production team! The matter of your family stealing wolf meat has not been resolved yet!"

Several people followed reluctantly.

Not long after breakfast, Secretary Gao came.

This time he went to the production team first.

Looking at the pile of meat like a small mountain, my heart was filled with ecstasy.

He didn’t even look at his son sleeping on the kang in the production team’s public house.

First call the commune and report the good news.

Secretary Hu was discussing work with Director Ma in the office. When he heard the phone ring, he raised his hand to signal Ma Ling to pause.

Picked up the phone.

Secretary Gao suppressed his ecstasy and said as calmly as possible,

"Hello, Secretary Hu? I am Gao Lichang from Toudaogou, and I have a happy event to report to the organization.

We killed dozens of wild boars and wolves in Toudaogou yesterday.

Made great contributions to protecting production.

Now, I would like to ask the commune leaders to take some time out of their busy schedules to guide our work.”

Secretary Hu was very serious.

"Dozens? Are you sure?"

"Good, good, good!"

"It will probably arrive in the evening."

……

Ma Ling was sitting right across the desk and he understood everything.

Secretary Hu asked Ma Ling to quickly arrange a carriage and go to Toudaogou immediately.

Ma Ling grabbed the cotton hat and strode out. This was a good thing.

In the evening, Secretary Hu and Ma Ling arrived at the Toudaogou Brigade, bringing with them a car owner and an accountant named Jiang.

Secretary Gao was waiting at the intersection with Gao Aiguo and Zheng Xiaoquan.

He enthusiastically welcomed the people into the production team.

First I went to see the big pile of snow where the meat was buried.

Several people sighed, this is really a lot.

Secretary Gao, "The leaders have worked hard on the journey. Everyone, come in. The food is ready. Let's eat first. It's hot."

Secretary Hu didn't see the team leader. He had already arrived in the yard, but still hadn't seen anyone.

Logically, he should come out to greet him. After all, he is his immediate superior.

"Where's Lao Zheng?"

Secretary Gao, "He is ill and lying at home! He cannot come today. I will entertain all the leaders on behalf of the Toudaogou Brigade."

Secretary Hu still respects the team leader very much.

"There's no rush to eat, let's go see him first."

Seeing that Secretary Hu was determined, Secretary Gao had no choice but to take everyone to the team leader's home.

The team leader was lying on the kang with his clothes on, covered with a quilt, and sleeping.

The fever had subsided, but I still felt weak, pale, and didn't want to move at all.

When the captain's wife saw Secretary Gao and his men coming, she hurriedly woke up the sleeping captain.

Only after Secretary Gao led people into the house did the team leader open his eyes.

When he saw that it was Secretary Hu of the commune, he was surprised.

I quickly tried to get up.

"Hey! Secretary Hu, why are you here?"

Secretary Hu possessed himself to stop it.

"You are still sick. Lie down quickly. We will come to see you. Are you feeling better?"

The captain sat up slowly.

"It's okay, it's okay, I just went hunting in the mountains these few days and I was cold and hungry. I caught a cold, it's nothing serious.

Secretary Hu, please sit down. Director Ma is here too? Please sit down. Please sit down. "

A few people exchanged pleasantries.

Secretary Hu suggested that all the meals be served at the team leader's home.

Captain, "I am not in good health, so I can't drink with you.

Secretary Gao was assigned to the production team..."

Secretary Hu interrupted him,

"It's at your house. It's quite cold. We won't make any more trouble. Just don't drink and eat less. Let's chat."

Secretary Gao had no choice but to ask Zheng Xiaoquan to notify everyone and bring the food over.

One is braised pork ribs, one is braised pork with vermicelli, one is stir-fried wolf meat, and one is braised pork belly. All are hard dishes.

Seeing all this, the captain asked his wife to make another sauerkraut soup and a cold dish, cabbage mixed with dried tofu.

There aren't many dishes, but the portions are large, so you can keep adding more when you finish eating.

Secretary Gao was very enthusiastic and kept urging people to drink. He was worried that the person didn't eat well, especially Secretary Hu and Director Ma.

These two, one is powerful and the other is rich.

There was laughter and joy at the table, and people were toasting each other.

While eating, we inevitably talked about hunting in the mountains.

The captain gave a brief talk and naturally mentioned Qi Feifei.

Secretary Hu said to call the person over to meet him.

As soon as Qi Feifei came in, Ma Ling's eyes flashed with light, and then he returned to his calm.

Qi Feifei also pretended not to know him.

Sitting obediently on the stool on the floor.

Secretary Hu asked about the hunting, and then asked about Qi Feifei's life and praised her.

Throughout the whole process, Qi Feifei was serious, respectful, smiling, grateful, and listened to the leadership's opinions.

By the way, I got to know a few leaders.

Because the captain had not yet fully recovered from his illness, everyone cleared the table before drinking for too long.

Drink some tea, chat, and discuss what to do with the prey.

Secretary Hu meant that hunting was not easy. Wolves should be turned in, wild boars should be given half, and the other half should be kept for the members to share.

The captain smoked his pipe and coughed from time to time.

Secretary Gao always follows the leader's lead in everything and does whatever the leader wants as long as he is happy.

"Okay, okay, I'll follow the leader's instructions."

The captain looked down at the ground, saying nothing, just smoking.

He risked his life to hunt mainly to ensure that all members of the brigade had a share of meat.

Besides, he had to be fair to Qi Feifei and not let the child get nothing.

Ma Ling saw that the captain refused to give in.

"Dear leaders, the Chinese New Year is coming soon and we are in great need of meat. Can you please make some concessions?

Give us some of the wild boar meat from the commune. No matter how much it costs, we will give a little more than the supply and marketing cooperative."

Secretary Hu also saw that the captain disagreed, but he didn't say it directly.

Indeed, he became sick because of hunting, and we couldn't help but take care of his emotions.

"Well, I'll leave one wolf for you so you can all have a taste of something new."

The captain looked up at him and sighed in embarrassment.

"Secretary Hu, you saw it too. The two of us almost lost our lives when we went into the mountains.

A girl went through all the hardships and made such a great contribution.

Although we are working for the government and shouldn't bargain, we can't stand it either!

I have to express my opinion anyway.

In addition, all the young and strong men in the village went into the mountains to carry prey, working for several days without sleep. It was really not easy.

Everyone is looking forward to having a good meal during the Chinese New Year.”
