Crossing 70: Fish in the Pond Have Good News

Chapter 487: Stocking up on meat

Finally, Wu Aiqing was left with no choice but to stammer, "It's not a big deal, and it hasn't been confirmed yet..."

Several people stared at him closely, and they immediately became dissatisfied when they saw that he was so indecisive. Fu Biao and Xiong Lijin wanted to hang themselves on him, and pressed Wu Aiqing down and shouted, "Hurry up and tell the truth! Don't dither."

"Okay, okay, I'll tell you, I just had a closer relationship with Xiaoxiao, and we did it right under your noses. You make it seem like you guys are completely unaware of it." Wu Aiqing almost spilled the food he had just eaten because of them. He couldn't stand it any longer.

Xue Li exclaimed, "We saw you guys chatting, but we don't know what you talked about. How about you share it with me?"

"What's so good about this? It's just idle chat. By the way, Xiaoxiao wants to stop going to work. What do you think we should do?" Wu Aiqing threw away the two pieces of taffy on his body and ran aside, not even taking the chair.

The person who was pressed at the bottom just now ran away, and now it was Fu Biao who was at the bottom. Xiong Lijin saw this and thought it was a good opportunity! He adjusted his posture and pressed his whole body on Fu Biao, with both feet off the ground.

Fu Biao yelled, and pushed Wu Aiqing down on his chair. He was so angry that he gritted his teeth and shouted, "Xiong Lijin, I'm not done with you!!"

Chen Jinghan also joined in the fun and pressed Xiong Lijin hard.

The three childish ghosts were having a great time.

Jiang Yu and Xue Li answered Wu Aiqing's question seriously, "How about asking the hospital to issue a certificate? Like Yi Chi?"

Everyone knows whether Yi Chi's hospital certificate is real or fake, but the team doesn't want to have much contact with him now. The hospital certificate just serves as a reason that can satisfy both parties, so naturally no one will pursue it.

Xue Li and Jiang Yu moved next to Wu Aiqing, away from the three idiots.

Wu Aiqing hesitated, "Will the team accept it?"

"That's no big deal. Wu Xiaoxiao can't do much physical work anyway, and the brigade won't assign tasks like scoring and feeding pigs to the educated youth. Since she's just slacking off in the fields, it makes no difference whether she's there or not." Xue Li didn't think it was a big problem. The people in the brigade treated the educated youth like the plague and didn't want to be around them at work. Maybe those people would be happy if Wu Xiaoxiao didn't go.

After hearing what she said, Wu Aiqing also felt that Wu Xiaoxiao was indeed going to work to make up the numbers. He would mention it to her later. If she agreed, he would go to get a certificate of individual weakness before the winter break to give the team a way out. She wouldn't have to waste time working in the fields next year.

The temperature was getting lower day by day, and Jiang Yu put on her patched constant temperature suit again. She was going to go into the mountains to stock up on meat in preparation for the winter.

Tuanzi took advantage of the fact that there were not many people in the team and rushed to Jiangyu's window, urging her to go up the mountain.

"Don't rush me, I'll be there soon!" Jiang Yu put the package on his back with a smile, locked the door, and went over Yaoer Mountain with it to the hunting spot.

Following last year's habit, Jiang Yu collected all the dry goods he saw along the way and stored them in his space. The winter in Northeast China is so long, and he had to share some with his friends, so of course he had to stock up more.

When the team started to grow vegetables, the villagers who had no work would flock to the mountains to pick mushrooms and hazelnuts. Some would even dig traps and catch rabbits to supplement their families' income.

This year's grain harvest is relatively stable. Besides, there are fewer people in the team, so some of the per capita rations can be saved. The low wheat yield in the middle of the year does not seem so serious.

After the grain was delivered, the day that all the members of the brigade had been looking forward to the most arrived.

Share the food!

Chen Jinghan was chosen as the representative of the small group and went to the brigade secretary to inquire about buying grain.

Although the relationship is awkward, the brigade cadres are still able to smile and greet people when there is money to be made.

Fu Biao joked, "I thought we would have to borrow trucks to go to other places to collect grain this year."

Xiong Lijin turned around and looked at him, "Go ahead. If you don't want to collect food, you can collect dry goods. Let's go to the beach and get some clams and abalone. At least it can change the taste during the winter!"

"What you said makes sense. Let's go to the commune. It's not far and we can just get a small car." Fu Biao thought about it and it made sense. After all, they would be staying at home for several months, so they had to prepare more food!

The two men hid behind the crowd and discussed for a while, then came to find Jiang Yu. Jiang Yu and Yi Chi were standing on the other side, discussing when to go to the mountains to smoke bacon.

"Going out? Where to?" Jiang Yu heard Fu Biao say he was going out, and thought that if it wasn't far, it would be okay to just walk there.

"Let's go to the coastal area where we went last time and get some seafood." Xiong Lijin saw that Yi Chi seemed to be a little interested, so he simply asked, "Do you want to go with us, Yi Chi?"

"Is it convenient?" Yi Chi saw that Jiang Yu was interested and became interested too.

"What's the inconvenience? The journey is not far and I will be back in a few days at most." Fu Biao waved his hand and said it very easily.

"Then I'll take advantage of you and go on a long journey?" Yi Chi said with a smile. He was very much looking forward to going out with Jiang Yu.

Seeing him grinning foolishly, Jiang Yu curled her lips as well, then said to Fu Biao and the others, "It will take two days, we have to deal with the prey first." She had taken them all out of the space, and they would go bad if left outside.

"It's okay, don't worry. We haven't finalized the car yet, and it depends on the arrangements of the fleet." Xiong Lijin explained, "We are also thinking of bringing some food and other things over, which will probably take two days."

"It has to be you." Jiang Yu nodded at Xiong Lijin, and he saw how much he loved making money.

Xue Li went to the commune to mail a letter in the morning, and came to Yi Chi's house at noon with some packed food to look for ginger fish.

Jiang Yu was helping Yi Chi pour water to wash the wild boar's internal organs. There was a faint strange smell in the yard.

Xue Li put the lunch box on the kitchen table and sat on the threshold to talk to Jiang Yu, "I don't know how long it will take for the letter to reach the Agricultural Research Institute. If they write back to me, can they deliver it before the heavy snow blocks the road?"

"If you're really worried, why don't you call or send a telegram?" Jiang Yu thought Xue Li was weird. There was obviously a faster way, but he insisted on writing a letter, which was several pages long and full of sincerity.

Xue Li chuckled. Is he going to tell Jiang Yu that he is alone?

Yi Chi asked her, "Are you sure what kind of seeds you want to apply for?"

"Well, I discussed it with Jiang Yu the night before yesterday. I was busy writing letters all day yesterday. I hope the Agricultural Research Institute will not be ungrateful. I'm writing drafts and copying, and my hands are stiff."
