Fast-paced era: a warm and leisurely life

Chapter 21 Returning Home Poor Little One 18

Yao Shu stumbled back to the Youth Hostel. His disheveled hair, tattered clothes, and mud all over his body frightened the people there.

Xu Hongying walked forward with a worried look on her face, supported Yao Shu and asked, "Where have you been?"

Yao Shu waved his hand: "Don't mention it. I wanted to find some wild vegetables in the mountains after I handed in the pig grass today. I came across a little wild boar and wanted to catch it to eat meat. I didn't expect to offend its parents..."

Yan Wenwen exclaimed: "Ah? That's a wild boar! How dare you catch it!"

Yao Shu: "I only saw a wild boar cub at the time. What's there to be afraid of?"

Zhao Nian'er: "So the shouting from the team just now was to rescue you?? What about the wild boar?"

Yao Shu: "The wild boar was killed by the captain and his men"

Zhao Nian'er: "And you just came back like this? You just don't want the wild boar anymore?"

Yao Shu frowned and looked at Zhao Nian'er: "I'm already injured like this, and you don't care about me, but you're thinking about the wild boar meat, right? You want to eat meat so much, why don't I see you go up the mountain by yourself!"

Zhao Nian'er paused, then said, "I'm just worried that you've been tricked. You contributed a lot to killing the wild boar, and you just come back like this. What if the captain and his men take the wild boar for themselves?"

Yao Shu held his head high and snorted, "If they dare to keep all the money for themselves, I will report them to the commune for fleecing socialism, and his position as team leader will be over!"

Peng Qing, who was standing outside the door, felt his scalp tingling after hearing this. He looked at Gu Qianjin beside him helplessly, opening his mouth again and again, but couldn't utter a word.

Gu Qianjin took a puff of his pipe, and the smoke from his mouth just blocked Gu Qianjin's sight.

Peng Qing cursed in his heart: Are all these new educated youth brainless? How dare they say such things? Woohoo, why did I have to bring the team leader here? Will the team leader vent his anger on me?

Peng Qing's hands were almost broken, so Gu Qianjin said slowly: "Let Yao Zhiqing come to the brigade headquarters to get the wild boar meat later."

The sound was not loud, but everyone in the room heard it, and the conversation in the room stopped immediately.

Yao Shu thought to himself that something was wrong, and quickly changed his clothes. Then he opened the door and said hastily, "Captain..."

But in the time it took to change clothes, Gu Qianjin had already walked a long way away. Yao Shu bit his lower lip tightly, turned around and looked at Zhao Nian'er complainingly: "It's all your fault!!!"

Zhao Nian'er curled her lips: "Why do you blame me? I didn't ask you to say that."

Yao Shu was so angry that his eyes turned red, but he did say those words. But if Zhao Nian'er hadn't said some gossip in front of him, he wouldn't have said that...

Peng Qing shook his head and walked back to his room silently. It was better to have less trouble than more. They, the old educated youth, had finally gained a firm foothold in the brigade. It would be better not to get involved in the affairs of these new educated youth. When they hit their own walls more often, they would know what to say and what to do...

The brigade is busy collecting wild boars at this moment. Everyone is happy to have meat to eat.

Everyone was busy, some were cutting pork, some were washing vegetables, and after dividing the meat they could eat the pig-killing dish together, which was a rare meat dish!!!

Gu Qianjin came back smoking a pipe. The brigade secretary saw Gu Qianjin coming back with a gloomy face, so he stepped forward and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Good intentions are not rewarded!"

The brigade secretary was a little confused: "Ah?"

"Do you know what that educated youth Yao said? She said if we didn't give her some wild boar meat, she would go to the commune and report us for fleecing socialism..."

The brigade secretary frowned fiercely: "This... really is really taking our kindness for granted. Why didn't she mention that we went to the mountain to rescue her?"

The brigade finance officer also felt a little uncomfortable: "Forget it, forget it. Let's not get involved in the affairs of the Youth Home in the future. The city people don't look down on us peasants anyway."

The brigade secretary lit up his pipe and took a deep puff: "Humph, if they look down on us peasants, then they should stop trying to get others to work for them! Tell the team members later not to foolishly work for those educated youths..."

Gu Qianjin took two more puffs and said, "Let's divide the meat! Leave 10 kilograms of meat for Yao Zhiqing, and give kilograms more to each family that participated in the rescue. The rest will be divided equally."

After that, the butcher quickly cut the pork into pieces of roughly the same weight without weighing them. Every cut was very accurate.

Each family sends one person to draw the lot, and they get what they draw. They can't pick and choose. If they cause trouble, they won't get any meat next time...

Aunt Guihua folded the note in her palm and bowed to the sky, then opened it and read: "Hey, I'm lucky! It's pork belly!"

Gu Nuanyi opened the note in her hand. It was front leg meat, which could be used to make meat stuffing for dumplings.

Gu Nuanyi was walking home with the meat she was given when she ran into Yao Shu who was coming to collect the meat.

Yao Shu looked at the large piece of meat in Gu Nuanyi's hand and said sarcastically, "Hey, someone who has done nothing can get so much meat!!"

When Gu Nuanyi heard this, she couldn't help but roll her eyes. Gu Nuanyi knew very well that Yao Shu was venting all her resentment on her. Did she look so easy to bully?

That's right, Yao Shu was just venting her resentment. She was not convinced. Why did Gu Nuanyi get so much meat without doing anything? She was scared in the mountains for so long and didn't get a word of concern. What's more, if it weren't for her, the team wouldn't have been able to get so much pork. Shouldn't they thank her?

Gu Nuanyi would eat anything but not be at a disadvantage, and said sarcastically, "Yes, yes, I am not as useful as you. One person can attract such a big wild boar. In the future, as long as I take you with me when I go hunting, I will definitely return with a full load!"

Yao Shu pointed at Gu Nuanyi with shaking hands: "You! Are you treating me like a hunting dog?"

Aunt Guihua was holding the meat: "What Yao Zhiqing said, should we thank you for attracting such a big wild boar? Then why didn't you say thank you when my husband went to the mountain to save you? And if Xiao Nuan hadn't come to call for help, you would still be in the tree now! You really took my kindness for granted..."

Yao Shu's face froze, his fingers unconsciously twirling the corners of his clothes: "I... I don't know about this..."

After saying that, she ran towards the crowd with an embarrassed look on her face, took the meat that belonged to her and ran back to the Youth House.

Aunt Guihua spat at Yao Shu's back: "Bah, how rude! Xiao Nuan, stay away from people like this next time!"
